Chapter 999

The whole of England is talking about the news of Ferguson's retirement.

This somewhat dilutes the impact of Aston Villa's four consecutive Premier League titles.

Fang Jue was not unhappy about this, but thought it was a good thing.

His Aston Villa is already 'the target of public criticism' and does not need much attention.

Fang Jue called Ferguson to congratulate Ferguson on his successful retirement. During the chat, Fang Jue especially thanked the old man for retiring and helped Aston Villa share his attention. Thank you so much.

Then, the Scottish old man was unexpectedly furious and blackmailed Fang Jue with a box of Moutai.

Of course, this was just a joke when the two were chatting. Fang Jue respected Ferguson very much, and said in his speech that he would target Ferguson and work for another two decades.

Ferguson: ...

The Manchester United club officially announced the news of Ferguson's retirement after the end of the season. However, the name of Ferguson's successor was not immediately announced.

Of course, the media and fans are generally convinced that the current Everton coach David Moyes is the head of Manchester United in the 'post-Ferguson' era.

...

On May 7, Aston Villa played a make-up match in the thirty-third round of the Premier League.

In this game, Fang Jue rotated most of the main players.

Even so, Aston Villa still beat Fulham 2-0 at home.

Danny Rose and Shinji Kagawa scored a goal in each half to help Aston Villa win the opponent.

Also in the make-up match, Chelsea drew with their opponents and scored a valuable point.

After playing this round of make-up matches, Aston Villa leads the standings with 92 points, leading the second place Manchester United by as many as 12 points.

The third-placed Manchester City team also won this round of make-up matches. Their points reached 72 points, eight points ahead of fifth-placed Arsenal. Manchester City also locked in the top four Champions League qualifications in the league two rounds ahead of schedule.

With 67 points, Chelsea leads the fifth place Arsenal by three points and leads the sixth place Tottenham Hotspur by four points. Take the lead.

With the league champion and league runner-up already determined, and there is basically no suspense about the third place in the league, the competition for fourth place in the league is currently the biggest suspense in the upper half of the Premier League.

...

Also on this day, the Manchester United Club officially announced that David Moyes will be the team's new head coach. officially took office.

After Manchester United turned the page of the Ferguson dynasty, Old Trafford is about to enter a new Moyes era.

Both Moyes and Ferguson are from Scotland, but the harmonious relationship between the two is not just as simple as "citizenship".

As early as 2004, Moyes publicly "showed his favor" to Ferguson. He rejected the offer made by Newcastle coach Robson Sr. for Rooney, but sold "Little Fatty" to Manchester United coached by Ferguson.

The old Jazz reciprocated a year later, and he sold versatile midfielder Phil Neville to Everton at a low price of 3 million pounds.

Moyes' appointment was approved and recommended by Ferguson. It can be said that he has always been one of the potential successors that Ferguson admires very much.

This is not only because the two are fellow villagers, but the two Scots also have many connections.

For example, both support the Labor Party and both love horse racing; Ferguson's father was a shipbuilder in High Bay, Scotland, and Moyes' father was also a draftsman for the same company.

Ferguson played in an amateur team in Glasgow when he was a child, and Moyes was also a graduate there, and Moyes' father also served as the team coach.

In 1995, Moyes played in Preston, one of his teammates was named Beckham, and Ferguson rented Beckham there to exercise.

In 1998, Moyes had the opportunity to serve as Manchester United's assistant coach, but unfortunately Ferguson finally chose McLaren.

Judging from these sources, perhaps Moyes is really Ferguson's "natural heir".

In addition, Moyes has a relatively low-key personality, does not like to cause trouble, and will not slander his peers, which has also won him a high prestige.

It can be said that the appointment of Moyes is the safest choice that Manchester United can make. Although he can't play around like Ferguson, he can't talk and laugh like Ferguson, but at least he won't put Manchester United in an embarrassing situation because of his words and deeds.

In addition, Moyes has been at Everton for 11 years. He is the head coach who has coached a single team for the third longest time in the Premier League, and his loyalty is beyond doubt.

Although it is still difficult to say whether Moyes can coach Manchester United for 26 years like Ferguson, at least the Scot will not step down easily.

"What Manchester United needs most is stability." Moyes is in line with the most basic requirements of the Red Devils for a head coach.

And there is another "hidden attribute", that is, Moyes is not an absolute big-name coach, so once his coaching performance is not good, Manchester United will not have too much pressure to "dispose" him.

...

Many Premier League coaches congratulated Moyes on succeeding Ferguson to coach Manchester United.

Fang Jue praised Moyes in an interview, "This is the best choice for the best coach."

"To be honest, I don't want to see Moyes coach Manchester United, because this is the best choice. Aston Villa will face a tough challenge next season." Fang Jue said with a serious expression.

Two days after the home match against Fulham in the 33rd round of the league, the Aston Villa team left Birmingham and set off for London.

They will usher in this season's FA Cup final at the new Wembley Stadium a day later.

Aston Villa's opponent in the FA Cup final is old friend Manchester City.

Aston Villa once won the treble in the 2010/2011 season.

That treble includes the UEFA Champions League, the Premier League and the English League Cup.

This season, Aston Villa has won the Premier League and the English League Cup. If they can win the FA Cup final again, they will once again create the treble.

Unlike two years ago, this triple crown is a triple crown in domestic competitions.

However, don't forget that Aston Villa has reached the Champions League final, Fang Jue and his team have the opportunity to compete for the unprecedented quadruple crown in European football history.

...

Manchester City coach Mancini has already dismissed get out of class before, and it is still coached by interim coach Kidd.

As the FA Cup final approaches, this is the interim head coach who expressed his confidence in Manchester City's victory over Aston Villa to win the FA Cup.

After Kidd said this, he waited for the battle.

He admired Ferguson very much, and devoted himself to studying Ferguson's psychological warfare.

This statement is precisely out of this consideration.

However, Kidd waited and waited, but Fang Jue didn't come out to respond, let alone 'swear at him'.

What's so fat?

Finally, when game day arrived and everything was still going smoothly, Kidd finally understood: He was being ignored.

This made Kidd both angry and a little helpless.

When the head coaches of the two sides shook hands before the game, Fang Jue held Kidd's hand and praised Kidd's outstanding performance after coaching Manchester City.

Hearing these words, Kidd's entanglement and unhappiness disappeared, and he was quite happy.

Afterwards, he calmed down, sighed, and realized that this was the difference in coffee status between himself and Fang Jue, and the two sides were not equal at all.

...

In this FA Cup final, Aston Villa played the main force.

The goalkeeper is Ter Stegen.

The central defender partners are Senderos and Nesta. Thiago Silva has a minor injury. Fang Jue did not take the risk of using the Brazilian.

James Milner at left back and Kyle Walker at right back.

In the midfield are Clement, Modric, Mane, Hamei, Ibrahimovic and Lewandowski.

For Manchester City, the goalkeeper is Joe Hart, and the two full-backs are Clichy and Zabaleta.

The central defender partner is Kompany and Nastasic.

The midfield is Gareth Barry, Nasri, David Silva and Yaya Toure.

Up front are Aguero and Tevez.

...

Only five minutes into the game.

"Gooooooooooooooooooal!"

In the roar of the commentator, I saw Aston Villa goalkeeper Ter Stegen half-kneeling in front of the goal, looking back at the ball in the goal, with his arms still open to block the ball.

Aston Villa's central defender Senderos was lying in front of the goal. He sat up and turned his head to look at the football in the net with a depressed expression on his face.

"Yaya Toure! Yaya Toure! Yaya Toure! He scored the first goal for Manchester City, 1-0, Manchester City leads Aston Villa 1-0!"

"Senderos must be very depressed. Yaya Toure's heavy bombardment hit Senderos on the shoulder. Senderos fell to the ground and the football changed direction and flew into the goal."

Yaya Toure was very excited when he saw his goal.

He rushed to the Manchester City fans stand at the new Wembley Stadium and waved his arms in celebration. Behind him, Manchester City fans surrounded him from all directions, cheering and celebrating the goal.

"What the hell!" Fang Jue cursed in a low voice unhappily.

However, Fang Jue is also very helpless. Who can he blame for this kind of refraction?

I can only blame my bad luck.

After a one-to-zero lead, Manchester City did not shrink their defense, but strengthened their offense even more.

Kidd's thoughts are very clear. He knows that defending cannot be defended. When the opponent is Aston Villa, it is impossible to rely on a one-ball lead to maintain it.

Fang Jue appreciates Kidd's courage.

Aston Villa also pressed forward without hesitation and achieved the result after only ten minutes.

...

It was a counterattack from Aston Villa that seized the opportunity of the heavily pressed Manchester City team.

Lewandowski headed back and sent the ball behind him. Ibrahimovic succeeded in countering offside and got a chance for a single goal.

Seeing this, Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart quickly abandoned the goal and attacked.

Ibrahimovic did not choose to pass the goalkeeper, he swung his right leg.

Joe Hart immediately made a prediction for the save. Based on his experience and what he saw, it should be a volley.

Joe Hart threw his center of gravity out and slammed the ball!

He didn't touch football.

He saw that when Ibrahimovic's right foot was in contact with the football, his ankle movement changed from a volley to a lob!

Football across a wonderful arc.

It flew over Joe Hart's head, drew a parabola, and landed directly into the goal...

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!"

"Ibrahimovic! Ibrahimovic! Zlatan Ibrahimovic! God, Ibrahimovic faced Joe Hart who attacked and hit a Remember the spoon! Unbelievable, he is so relaxed, this is Zlatan, this is him, only he dares to play this move in such a final!"

...

As the commentator said, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is indeed too bold and too daring to play!

If Joe Hart hadn't been fooled and had stood where he was, he could have easily lifted the ball out of the air, and Ibrahimovic's choice of scooping this shot would have been a joke and an FA Cup shot. A classic joke in the history of finals, and Joe Hart became the positive hero in this famous scene.

However, the problem is that Ibrahimovic, who dared to play, succeeded. He scored with a spoon, and Joe Hart was helpless. This has become an eternal famous scene in the history of the FA Cup final.

Fang Jue applauded the goal from the sidelines, and turned to Ceballos and said, "This guy is too bold!"

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who scored a goal with a spoon, stood on the spot, opened his arms, raised his head slightly, and greeted his teammates who came from all directions to celebrate. His expression seemed to say: Worship me, boys!

Fans watching this game on TV feel great.

Especially the neutral fans, they have no preference for who wins the championship, the important thing is that the game is played wonderfully.

The game lasted less than 20 minutes, two goals, including the classic scene of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's spoon shot, the fans were very happy.

The game continues.

Aston Villa equalized so quickly, it was a blow to Manchester City's morale.

After the game restarted, Aston Villa's offensive intensity suddenly increased.

"Joe Hart! He made a world class save!"

This is Mane knocking the football with his heel to Milner, who hoists the football into the penalty area.

Lewandowski jumped high in front of the goal, and the lion shook his head and attacked the goal.

Joe Hart made a wonderful save to lift the ball over the bar.

Aston Villa's corner.

After the corner kick was taken, Ibrahimovic's header did not have the power to hit the top, and the football was confiscated by Joe Hart in the air.

Joe Hart then took a goal kick, but the ball did not pass halftime and was pushed back by Nesta.

After Aston Villa passed a three-legged pass, the football was sent into the penalty area again. Hamei turned around and volleyed. The football was blocked by Kompany and fell to Modric's feet.

Modric took a long shot from Gareth Barry's close marking, and the football was slightly higher than the crossbar, which shocked the Manchester City fans into a cold sweat.

In the following time, Aston Villa completely suppressed Manchester City.

For a while, Manchester City couldn't even pass the football at halftime, let alone attacking and counterattacking.

Yaya Toure and Gareth Barry have no energy to attack either. The job of these two Manchester City midfielders is to constantly grab the ball, grab the ball, and grab the ball again.
