Chapter 1002

On May 19th, the last round of the 2012/2013 Premier League season.

Aston Villa away to Wigan Athletic.

Wigan Athletic currently has 35 points, ranking 18th in the league, four points behind Sunderland, who is 17th in the league.

With only the last round left in the league, Wigan Athletic has been relegated to the English Championship one round ahead of schedule.

And Aston Villa has already won the championship ahead of schedule.

Therefore, both sides in this game have no desires and no desires.

Aston Villa bid farewell to this season's domestic competition with a big win.

Ibrahimovic assisted Lewandowski and Mane respectively in the game.

Mane scored twice in the game and it was Danny Rose who provided the assist for his second goal.

In addition, De Bruyne also assisted Ha Mei to score a goal, helping the team lock the score to four to zero.

At the last moment of the game, Fang Jue replaced Greno.

Guerreno won a rare start in this game. The Spanish veteran with mixed reputation has decided to retire after the end of this season.

Therefore, today's game is also Greno's last Premier League game on behalf of Aston Villa.

The last game of each season is not only a time to cheer for victory and celebrate the harvest of a season, but also a time to say goodbye.

In this Aston Villa team, Inzaghi and Nesta, the two Italian veterans, plus Greno, these three veterans will all retire after the end of the season.

Aston Villa beat Wigan Athletic 4-0 away at Wigan Athletic's JJB Stadium, marking a successful end to their 2012/2013 Premier League season with a big victory.

...

At the same time, the games on the other nine venues also ended, and the 2012/2013 Premier League season came to an end.

In Ferguson's farewell game at West Bromwich Albion's Hawthorns, Manchester United and West Bromwich Albion staged a crazy goal performance, and the final score of the game was 5-5.

After the game, Ferguson delivered a farewell speech at the scene.

In the camera, there are many gray-haired old fans in the stands. Because of their age, they seldom go to the scene to watch the game.

However, Ferguson is retiring. This old man who has coached Manchester United for 26 years is about to retire. These old fans will come to say goodbye to Ferguson no matter what they say.

Ferguson's habit of chewing gum while calling the shots from the sidelines is a well-known story.

After the day's game, a fan happened to get the chewing gum that Ferguson had chewed during the game.

Later, the fans posted this piece of gum on the Internet, and described it: The chewing gum chewed by Ferguson is extremely rare; it was found at the Hawthorn Stadium and is now placed in a plexiglass and wooden box.

The fan expressed his willingness to auction the piece of gum and donate the proceeds to the Manchester United Charity Foundation after the auction.

...

Aston Villa won the Premier League with 30 wins, 5 draws, 3 losses and 95 points. This is their fourth consecutive championship in the Premier League.

Manchester United finished second in the Premier League this season with 84 points, 11 points behind Aston Villa.

Manchester City won the third place in the Premier League with 75 points.

Chelsea narrowly beat Everton 2-1 at home in the final game of the league, and finally led Arsenal by 73 points by three points, locking in the fourth place in the Premier League.

Arsenal ranked fifth in the Premier League with 70 points and qualified for the UEFA Europa League next season. This is the second consecutive season Arsenal has missed the UEFA Champions League. protest banner.

Because the FA Cup champion Aston Villa and the FA Cup runner-up have both qualified for the UEFA Champions League next season, Tottenham Hotspur, who is sixth in the league, also qualified for the Europa League next season. .

In addition, because the League Cup champion Aston Villa has the UEFA Champions League to play, Swansea, which was bloodbathed by Aston Villa 7-1 in the League Cup final, was "a blessing in disguise" and qualified for the Europa League next season. Qualification.

Wigan Athletic, Reading and Queens Park Rangers ranked from the bottom three to the bottom one, locking three places for relegation.

In the scorer list, Dutch striker Van Persie, who joined Manchester United from Arsenal last summer, won the Premier League Golden Boot with 26 goals.

The Polish striker Lewandowski, who also transferred to a new team last summer and joined Aston Villa from Dortmund, scored 22 goals in the Premier League this season and won the Premier League silver boot.

In the Aston Villa team, apart from Lewandowski who won the silver boot, Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored 14 goals in the league, ranking eighth in the scorer list.

In addition, Jamie Vardy's outstanding performance has also won praise from the media. As a striker substitute, Vardy scored ten goals in the league, which is impressive.

In the Premier League assists list above, Chelsea's Mata crowned Premier League assists with 12 assists.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic ranked second with 11 assists, and Chelsea player Hazard and Arsenal player Cazorla also performed as well as him with 11 assists.

In addition, Hamei and Milner tied for fourth in the Premier League assists list with nine assists.

Modric and De Bruyne tied for fifth in the Premier League assist list with 8 assists.

As a young teenager, in addition to eight assists in the league, De Bruyne scored four goals and performed well.

...

However, the most eye-catching is Aston Villa's visa-free French teenager Paul Pogba from Manchester United.

Pogba, who came in as Modric's understudy, has three goals and seven assists in the Premier League.

In addition, in the Champions League, Pogba also scored a goal.

In the English League Cup, Pogba has three goals and four assists.

In the FA Cup, Pogba has two goals and three assists.

Not counting the UEFA Champions League final that has not yet kicked off, the French teenager scored 9 goals and 14 assists for Aston Villa in all competitions.

For a young man who rarely played at Manchester United last season, such an outstanding performance shocked many people.

Some media even ran over to ask Ferguson if he regretted letting Pogba go. The old man's attitude was still extremely firm, and he said that he would never regret it.

...

After Ferguson didn't regret it, Fang Jue didn't know.

Fang Jue is now annoyed by price comparisons.

Pogba's performance is very good, and his agent Mino Raiola has also become active.

Last summer, Pogba almost joined Juventus. It was Fang Jue who snatched Pogba from Juventus.

Now, seeing Pogba's excellent performance in Aston Villa, Juventus has moved to introduce this French young man again.

In this case, Raiola, as Pogba's agent, did not refute Juventus's favor like some agents did, but began to blow to the media:

Juventus want Pogba? I'm not surprised at all, Pogba's talent and quality are worthy of any team's favor.

Pogba is very happy at Aston Villa, but, what will happen in the future, none of us can guarantee.

Faced with Raiola's active behavior, Fang Jue was also a little angry.

At first he felt that Raiola was using this method to put pressure on Aston Villa, wanting to ask for a higher salary for Pogba.

However, Raiola has not asked Aston Villa for Pogba's salary so far.

In fact, when signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Pogba, two players under Raiola's banner, Mendes reminded Fang Jue that Raiola is very good. Difficult to deal with, maybe Aston Villa and Raiola will fall out sooner or later.

Fang Jue was mentally prepared for Raiola's temperament and difficulty.

This guy has many outstanding players, but he also has a relatively stiff relationship with many giants.

Take transfer matters as an example. Under Raiola's turmoil, many clubs are actually in a state of restraint in the competition for their players.

In 2010, Balotelli, who attempted to leave Inter Milan, was chased by two Premier League giants, Manchester City and Chelsea.

Faced with the secret competition between the two old and new local tyrants in the Premier League, Raiola actively negotiated player transactions with the two clubs, and used the actual employment needs of the two clubs to restrain each other and carry out precise promotion of players. price.

After a lengthy tug-of-war, Manchester City finally signed Balotelli for 28 million euros, which was much higher than the original 20 million offer.

Moreover, when talking about Raiola's famous work, he also needs to talk about his operation of Nedved to Juventus 20 years ago. At the right time, Raiola fully demonstrated his ability to raise prices.

Under the coercion of the strong words that "if 40 million euros are not given, Nedved will become the general of Inter Milan", Moggi finally made a concession. In that era, Nedved was 41.5 million The transfer fee in euros is absolutely huge.

Over there, Inter Milan was fooled by Raiola. Moratti once really believed that Raiola would bring Nedved to the Meazza Stadium.

Let's put it this way, as long as there are clubs that have done business with Raiola, almost no one will not scold them.

Looking at the entire football world, no one seems to be more suitable for the words "greedy" and "cunning" than Raiola.

...

However, Fang Jue also noticed that both Ibrahimovic and Pogba have great trust in Raiola.

This is the duality of Mino Raiola's attitude towards the world. He is very cunning to the club and is hated by many clubs.

However, he is good to the players.

The main reason why he can remain invincible in the player transaction for a long time is that he has a good relationship with all the players under his banner.

In player transfer matters, Raiola can not only help players raise their prices to enhance their market value, but also in contract negotiations, he can always win more lucrative income for players.

Raiola in life is also very good at actively communicating with players. These reasons also directly make Raiola's teams trust him.

Adhering to Fang Jue's will, Byron, the general manager of Aston Villa Club, called Raiola and asked the super agent to pay attention to his words and keep his mouth shut.

Raiola shut up.

Instead of talking about Pogba, he started talking about Ibrahimovic.

"Someone said it was wrong for Zlatan to get that much salary (£260,000) at Villa. It turns out that this is indeed wrong. Zlatan deserves double the salary!"

What the hell is this guy up to?

Fang Jue arranged for club CEO Bob Clark to call and question Mino Raiola.

The fat man then spoke again, "I didn't mean to ask for so much salary for Zlatan, but just as an example, although Zlatan really deserves any treatment."

Just when Fang Jue was furious.

Raiola suddenly shut up and stopped making any noise.

That's because the Champions League final between Aston Villa and Bayern Munich is just two days away.

Mino Raiola obviously knows what to do and what not to do, and he didn't mess with Aston Villa's preparations again.

This is not how "careful" he is to Aston Villa, it is that he is very careful with his players. Before the big battle, he does not want Ibrahimovic and Pogba to be distracted.

Not only that, Raiola also made a special trip to London and had a meal with two of his players. He encouraged Zlatan Ibrahimovic to show a "unique" performance in the Champions League final.

"Zlatan, you are the best, win the Champions League and tell the world that you are the best!"

The Champions League has always been Ibrahimovic's shortcoming. Before that, this was also the most fundamental reason why many media and fans believed that Ibrahimovic was inferior to Ronaldo and Messi.

"Zlatan, if you win the Champions League, this year's Ballon d'Or is yours," Raiola said.

"Zlatan doesn't need the Ballon d'Or to recognize it," Ibrahimovic said proudly.

"Of course." Raiola nodded in approval, "You are the unique Zlatan."

Mino Raiola was not a compliment, his tone was offhand because he always thought so.

Regardless of whether he is sincere or pretending, he is indeed very good at dealing with his players, and the players are willing to believe in him.

For Pogba, Raiola said this, "Paul, try to play in the game, I know you can, in fact, as long as you play in the final, it is the best response, to the TV. Take a good look at Ferguson."

Soon, Fang Jue noticed that both Ibrahimovic and Pogba had a better mental outlook during training.

He knew that Raiola had a heart-to-heart talk with Ibrahimovic and Pogba, and Fang Jue appreciated it.

He even called Raiola, and the two talked happily, and they couldn't see the conflict between the two before.

At present, the interests of the two people are aligned.

Fang Jue is eager to lead the team to the top of Europe for the second time, and Raiola also expects the Champions League trophy to add luster to his players and increase his bargaining chips.
