Chapter 794: The Magic Flute of Gains and Losses (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Aston Villa's 8-2 thrashing of Olympiacos shocked the media.
In the other matchup in the same group, Ligue 1 giants Marseille swept Jurgen Klopp's Borussia Dortmund 3-0 at home, which also stunned many people.
Borussia Dortmund won last season's Bundesliga and many German media believe they will continue the miracle of Schalke 04 last season.
Ahead of the Champions League group stage, it was widely believed that Aston Villa would undoubtedly finish top of the group, with the other qualifying spot most likely to be between Borussia Dortmund and Marseille.
And Dortmund, who broke Bayern Munich's dominance and won the Bundesliga title last season, has a better chance of qualifying than Marseille.
As for Olympiacos, it would be nice to be in contention for a third-place finish in the group stage and qualify for the Europa League.
No one expected Dortmund to be swept by Marseille by Marseille by three goals in the second game after being taught by Aston Villa 1-4 in the first round of the group stage.
In fact, against the Marseille team, Dortmund did not play badly, and it can even be said that they dominated the field, and experience became the fatal wound of this team, with inexplicable mistakes and goals conceded, allowing the Bundesliga champions to lose both games and accumulate zero points.
If it weren't for Olympiacos' beating by Aston Villa in this round of group stage, conceding one more goal than Dortmund, Dortmund would have continued to finish bottom of the group.
Before the start of the group stage, there were media who said that Klopp's Borussia Dortmund and Fang Jue's Aston Villa were very similar.
It is said that Klopp is the Fang Jue of the Bundesliga.
However, no one says that anymore.
In terms of lack of Champions League experience, Aston Villa returned to the Champions League after more than two decades last season, even less than Borussia Dortmund's Champions League experience.
However, Aston Villa exploded all the way from the group stage and finally went all the way to the final, and even swept the 2009 Champions League champion Barcelona in the final, standing at the top of Europe.
Everything is afraid of comparison.
Even the German newspaper "Bild" bluntly said, 'Klopp is still very immature, far worse than Coach Fang Jue.' ’
Dortmund's training ground, in the manager's office, Jurgen. Klopp's expression was gloomy, and he was holding a newspaper in his hand, which was the report of Bild.
"Pete, to be honest, am I really worse than Fang Jue?" Klopp asked his old partner, Kravitz.
"It's not." Kravitz said, and before Klopp could smile with satisfaction, he heard Kravitz continue, "Truth be told, you're far worse than him right now." ”
Klopp: w(?? Д??) w。
In Birmingham's bars, BBC5 sports are playing on TV.
In the picture, Aston Villa manager Fang Jue was furious after the game, and the referee on duty Jonathan was angry and left the field in embarrassment. Scene of Moss roaring with huge boos at Villa Park in the background.
In this game, Aston Villa lost 1-2 at home to Wigan Athletic, a super upset, and Aston Villa's unbeaten league run spanning three seasons also stayed at 69 games.
"Jonathan. Moss, the focus of this round of the Premier League. In the TV footage, the anchor pointed to the picture of referee Moss.
"It can be said that this gentleman has single-handedly created the most controversial round of the Premier League, and it can even be said that it will go down in history in the history of the Premier League. A number of controversial decisions directly changed the outcome of the game and brought Aston Villa's unbeaten run to an abrupt end. ”
The first half was still calm.
Suarez's goal gave Aston Villa an early lead.
"In the 55th minute of the game, the veteran Klose was brought down in the penalty area, and the referee refused to award a penalty, which laid the groundwork of Fang Jue's anger."
"In the 61st minute of the game, Wigan Athletic scored with a long-range shot to equalize the score, and there was no problem with this goal."
Five minutes later, Wigan Athletic scored again from distance to put the score in check, but when the attack was launched, Wigan Athletic was suspected of a foul and referee Moss ignored it, which caused great displeasure at Aston Villa.
"The biggest controversy came, in the last moments of the game, Suarez's goal, referee Moss signaled offside, and the slow motion showed that this offside decision was difficult to define."
"In stoppage time, substitute Vardy entered the penalty area and fell in a collision with Van Aanholt, but the referee Moss not only awarded a penalty, but also awarded Vardy a fake fall, and showed the first yellow card, and then showed the emotional Vardy a second yellow card to send him off!"
Not only the BBC, but many sports TV stations around the world are talking about this game.
The prevailing opinion is that Fang Jue's anger is understandable, and it is a shame that Aston Villa's unbeaten streak spanning three seasons has been put to an end.
The headlines of major media are also photos of Fang Jue's angry roar.
……
Fang Jue's luxurious villa.
He is playing a game of soccer with his children.
The soccer ball is specially customized by Nike.
The two of them had a lot of fun.
Fang Jue's face could no longer see the angry expression of wanting to kill on the TV screen.
After playing for a while, the little one was also tired, and Papa took his son away.
Fang Jue and Reberto drink coffee.
This guy is now in Birmingham three or five days a month, and this guy who is an uncle even loves children more than Fang Jue.
"Losing to Wigan Athletic, you don't really care, you relax." Reberto said.
That's why Fang Jue 'dislikes' this guy more and more.
People don't say anything about it, this guy is good, he comes to dismantle the stage every time.
In fact, as Fang Jue said, he was not so angry when he lost to Wigan Athletic and his undefeated golden body was broken.
It's been 69 games unbeaten, not to mention whether it's enough, in fact, as the unbeaten run continues, the unbeaten record has become a shackle for the entire Aston Villa team.
The players are not only proud of the record they have set, but also there will be a lot of pressure, the fear of losing, the fear of breaking the golden body, has become the psychological pressure of the players.
Fang Jue's original idea was to go with the flow, and he was mentally prepared for losing.
There is no such thing as an undefeated player in football.
Of course, if Fang Jue is willing, at all costs, Aston Villa will be able to remain undefeated.
However, it is not.
Aston Villa, who are unbeaten in 69 games, have almost become the public enemy of the Premier League.
As the days went on, the resistance from Aston Villa grew stronger.
What Fang Jue has to consider is when and how Aston Villa will lose, and take off this unbeaten record that is becoming more and more unbearable for the whole team.
He wants to make sure that the loss doesn't affect the morale and smooth development of the whole team.
In the match with Wigan Athletic, losing in such a way, Fang Jue was simply the most satisfied.
There are referees and FA who take the blame, not only to take off the weight of the unbeaten golden body, but also not to worry too much about the morale of the whole team because of the loss.
And, considering that the next round of the league will welcome a strong opponent Manchester City, Manchester City and Manchester United are now on 19 points, and Manchester City is the league leader by virtue of goal difference.
Before such a focus showdown came, he unloaded the 'burden' of the undefeated golden body, went into battle lightly, and could even be said to be 'burdened with grievances', in Fang Jue's opinion, the whole team was excited, and he didn't even need to deliberately do pre-war mobilization.
Take out Manchester City, travel lightly and continue to sprint towards the title.
The honor of the undefeated record, compared with the honor of the champion, is more important than the other, and Fang Jue can carry it clearly.
Don't look at Fang Jue's slamming of the referee and scolding Moss so badly, he really wants to say to the referee and the FA in his heart: Thank you.
Then, the next day, when Fang Jue was interviewed by the media, he fired at the referee's law enforcement issue again, and scolded a bloody dog.
"It's chilling that Aston Villa are fighting for glory in the Premier League in Europe and are being treated unfairly in the Premier League."
'Against Manchester City, I hope we can be treated fairly.' Fang Jue's expression was extremely sad and indignant.
……
After the seventh round of the Premier League, it was a FIFA matchday and the Premier League was temporarily suspended.
The game against Manchester City is two weeks later.
Aston Villa's first-team players are almost all internationals of all levels from various countries and regions.
With the players temporarily gone, the Villa training base became quiet.
The number of journalists 'stationed' at the Villa training base is also much lower.
However, on October 7, the Guardian reported a piece of news.
Chief Architect of the famous stadium construction company Christopher Brown. Lee was spotted at the Villa training base.
The world-famous gymnasium designer stayed at the Villa training base for at least two hours before quietly leaving.
"Aston Villa are going to build a new stadium!"
All of a sudden, news spread quickly that Aston Villa were going to build a new stadium.
The news immediately attracted more media and fan attention, especially Aston Villa fans, who were even more nervous.
Villa Park is 114 years old, and it's a fact that the historic course is outdated and many of the structures and facilities are not adapted to modern needs.
Some fans have previously suggested that the team needs a more modern stadium.
Especially with two consecutive seasons dominating the Premier League and standing at the top of Europe, the need seems even more urgent as Aston Villa's results go from strength to strength.
However, the fans have a deep affection for this 'grandpa' level stadium.
They don't know the club's plans, whether it will be on the same site or somewhere else if it will actually build a new stadium.
Emotionally speaking, if the stadium is relocated, the fans will not be able to accept it.
In addition, the funds required to build a new, modern, large-scale stadium are enormous.
Arsenal's Emirates Stadium cost £400 million.
In order to build this stadium, Arsenal was burdened with huge debts and had to cut back on food, but any reinforcement of more than 10 million pounds is a big deal for Arsenal, and in terms of player loss, Arsenal sells captains every year, which makes fans feel heartache.
That's what Aston Villa fans are worried about.
They don't want their beloved team to repeat the mistakes of Arsenal.
Aston Villa FC was quick to respond to the fans' concerns via their official website.
Aston Villa FC officials said that the club is indeed considering building a new stadium at present, and not looking elsewhere, but renovating the original site of Villa Park.
At present, this is only a preliminary intention, and the construction of the stadium is a very large project, and the final decision will only be made after all aspects of the argument will be made.
Aston Villa reassures fans that even if the final decision is made to build the stadium, financial issues will not be a shackle to the development of the stadium.
"In the last two seasons, the club has been doing very well, the club itself has a lot of surplus funds, and the club's parent company, F&P, will also provide financial support for the club, so you don't have to worry."
The good times have just begun, so don't worry.
……
Fang Jue received bad news.
Midfielder Luka Modric, who was injured in the game against Queens Park Rangers, has suffered a more serious injury than expected.
Originally, Aston Villa's medical team had predicted that Modric would need to be out for a month.
Factoring in the league shutdown on the international break, Luka Modric's return in late October has effectively left only two league games and one Champions League game after the FIFA break.
However, Dr. Ossola Lana told Fang Jue the latest test results that Modric may have to recuperate for about half a month longer than expected, that is, as soon as early November, and later in mid-November.
Don't look at the injury for half a month, but, considering the importance of Modric to Aston Villa, including the League Cup quarter-final match with Arsenal in late October, and the Champions League group stage away from Marseille important game, Modric's absence still has a great impact on Aston Villa.
……
Karina Private Hospital in Birmingham, which is the designated partner hospital of Aston Villa.
Modric was lying in a hospital bed.
The smell of disinfectant water in the ward was.
The walls are snow-white.
A bouquet of flowers was placed in the corner of the table, which was already a little withered.
Luka Modric has just finished a routine check-up.
Mr. Bean's pantomime was playing on TV, but Modric wasn't in the mood to watch it.
At this time, he was staring at the ceiling in a daze.
He was a little worried about his main position after recovering from injury.
Although he knew that he was the favorite general of coach Fang Jue, and Fang Jue specially poached him from Ibiza, Fang Jue also valued him.
However, Modric has a sense of crisis.
The match between the team and Olympiacos, Modric watched it live on the TV in his hospital room.
In this game, Milner and Clement partnered in the back, and Ronaldo played very successfully in front.
Teammate James James. Rodriguez's performance was fantastic.
With one goal and three assists, the shy Colombian team-mate was the standout of the win apart from Bale.
A month and a half to two months is not a long time, but it is not a short time.
Luka Modric has speculated that his team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo will be reused during his absence.
After he recovers from his injury, will he be able to get back to the main position?
Luka Modric is not worried about his own quality, but he knows too many stories about players who have returned to the team without their own main position after injury.
If the club changes the line-up and style of play during the period of his injury, and the results are very good, he does not think that after he recovers from the injury, the manager will quickly change back to the original tactics, which means that his main position is not guaranteed.
Just as Modric was suffering from gains and losses, there was a knock on the door of the ward.
"Please come in." Modric said.
Then, he saw Fang Jue holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, smiling and pushing the door in.
"Boss?" Modric said in surprise.
He didn't expect the manager to have time to visit him, the club is very busy right now, he knows about the club building a new stadium, and in addition, it will be the focus of the showdown with the current league leaders Manchester City in two days, and the coach is now the busiest.
So, Modric was surprised, and of course, after the surprise, there was joy.
