Chapter 1010 Six Crowns! (Urgently Looking for a Monthly Pass)
Aston Villa defeated Bundesliga South King Bayern Munich 5-3 at the New Wembley Stadium, crowned the king of Europe, and became the first team in the history of European football to win the quadruple crown in that season. The noise has slowly dissipated .
Aston Villa fans are chatting, and from time to time they will talk about the team's return to Birmingham after winning the championship in London.
On that day, the whole of Birmingham was filled with crowds, and the club held the most spectacular and huge championship parade in the club's more than 100-year history.
On that day, the headlines of the major sports media around the world were almost all dominated by the news that Aston Villa was crowned the king of Europe and the quadruple champion.
Now, more than a month has passed, the new season has not yet started, and the team's training camp for the new season has not yet started. This is the most boring period for fans who are used to the hustle and bustle of the season.
In a bar in Birmingham.
The sports news is playing on the TV. This is the report that Real Madrid's Argentine star Higuain is close to joining Arsenal.
On the TV screen, a well-known transfer expert vowed that Higuain would be able to come to London for a medical examination as soon as tomorrow afternoon.
Afterwards, the reporter interviewed some Arsenal fans at random. The Gunners fans were very excited. They were already planning to pick up Higuain at London Heathrow Airport tomorrow.
When this summer's transfer window just opened, the major media broke the news that Arsenal will spend 60 million to buy Real Madrid striker Higuain.
This kind of news in the past, the gun fans who have seen the big wind and waves will not believe it, but now there are various signs that make people have to believe that this transfer is real:
First of all, before the summer transfer window officially opened, many media broke the news that Arsenal's transfer budget this summer is 70 million pounds.
In other words, this summer, we have money at Arsenal;
In addition, Higuain is at a disadvantage in the starting competition with Benzema. It is very possible to change to a giant that can guarantee the starting position, at least the media say so.
In the end, the media almost insisted that Higuain would not marry if he was not Arsenal. Let’s take this as the transfer expert Pixar. Jue or Arsenal did not deny it, so now Pixar broke the news that Higuain will come to London for a medical examination, and this news also made Arsenal fans very happy.
...
Looking at the excited Arsenal fans on the TV screen, the Aston Villa fans in front of the TV were a little depressed and unhappy.
The transfer window has been open for more than a month, but Aston Villa have been almost silent in the transfer market.
In terms of player sales, Italian defender Thornton was tempted after being called by his old club Inter Milan.
Fang Jue had previously joked that Thornton would be introduced from Inter Milan at a cabbage price, and then sold to Inter Milan at a high price after being trained-his joke back then has now become a reality.
Inter Milan is bound to win for Thornton. Moratti, who is about to complete the equity conversion and sell Inter Milan, is determined to bring his beloved Inter Milan a final farewell gift. He is bound to win for Thornton.
In the end, Inter Milan spent 26.5 million euros to take away their wandering prince.
Then the loan period of South Korean player Sun Xingmin in the Bundesliga Hamburg was extended. The young South Korean international will continue to play in Hamburg for one year in the new season.
In terms of signings, Aston Villa has not made any moves so far.
In other words, the only action was to promote the reserve team's French defender Kanter to the first team, replacing the veteran Greno who chose to retire after the end of last season.
The fans of Aston Villa, who are used to the team coming in and out every summer transfer window, are really uncomfortable with this situation.
Of course, in the eyes of the Birmingham media and many English media, this shows that Aston Villa is becoming more mature and the dynasty is more stable.
In this summer, Modric, Mane, James Rodriguez, Kyle Walker, Milner, Lewandowski, De Bruyne, Vardy, etc. and even Pogba Young players have been spread by many media and are favored by many giants.
According to this practice of the media, almost all of the Aston Villa team is about to be sold.
The Times joked that almost all of Aston Villa's players have been 'sold out', save for Clement.
Clement doesn't have a wealthy family coveting?
This is impossible, but everyone knows that Clement is Fang Jue's hard-core direct descendant, and Fang Jue is so loyal that he cannot be dug out.
In this case, except for Thornton's transfer to Aston Villa, all the players have not left so far. In the eyes of many media, this is the best news:
Aston Villa is already a real giant, and now they are basically the only ones who poach others. Their own players rarely consider leaving, and they can withstand the temptation of other giants-now football, Aston Villa is a well-deserved dream team.
...
Of course, this is also inseparable from Aston Villa's move to raise the salary and renew the contract of the players on a relatively large scale in the whole team. After all, sincerity also needs real money to consolidate.
Modric's weekly salary has been doubled from £45,000 to £90,000.
Milner's weekly salary has also increased from £55,000 to £75,000.
Kyle Walker's weekly salary has nearly doubled from £30,000 to £55,000.
Aston Villa is relatively quiet in the transfer market, so the biggest "fun" for Aston Villa fans now is to watch other teams do whatever they want in the transfer market.
In the past few days, I have watched Tottenham Hotspur sign Brazilian star Paulinho.
After Manchester City spent 20 million pounds to sign Spanish striker Negredo, they spent 30 million euros to sign Jovetic from Fiorentina.
Manchester United also signed Moyes' favorite Fellaini from Everton.
Chelsea spent £32m on Brazilian winger Willian.
Liverpool spent nine million euros to bring in Aspers.
Looking at other competitors' continuous signings, it is possible for Aston Villa fans to say that they are not in a hurry. They are more or less greedy and anxious. Having won four consecutive Premier League titles, fans have become accustomed to Aston Villa dominating the Premier League. This is a kind of self-confidence brought about by long-term dominance.
...
August 11, 2013 Community Shield.
Aston Villa beat Manchester United led by coach Moyes 3-0 in the game.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Shinji Kagawa and Mane scored goals in the first and second halves. Manchester United in the post-Ferguson era was slapped to the ground by Aston Villa, the new overlord of the Premier League, and fell badly.
Winning the 2013 Community Shield, this is also the fifth championship trophy won by Aston Villa this year, crowned five crowns.
A week later, in the Premier League opener of the 2013/2014 season, Aston Villa defeated old friends Arsenal 3-1 away.
After the game, a large number of Arsenal fans were stranded at the Emirates Stadium and refused to leave. They held up banners in protest.
The anger of Arsenal fans is not only because the team was slaughtered by Aston Villa again, but also because of the team's weakness and "deceit" in the transfer market.
Arsenal, which claims to hold a transfer fee of 70 million pounds, so far the only signings are Flamini returning from a free transfer from AC Milan, and the signing of Sanogo and Italian goalkeeper Viviano join on loan.
None of the rumored £70 million has so far been spent.
In particular, Higuain, who was said to be coming to London for a physical examination the next day, appeared in the Naples medical examination room, and was soon announced by the Naples official to join Higuain, which greatly stimulated the anger of Arsenal fans. .
Arsenal fans are indeed used to the club's inaction in the transfer market for a long time, and it is reasonable to say that they would not be so angry. However, the problem is that this year's incident has been widely spread, but in the end it was this kind of 'disappearance of the medical examination room' incident. , not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
Two weeks later, the UEFA Super Cup was played at the Monaco II Stadium.
Last season's UEFA Champions League champions Aston Villa played against last season's Europa League champions Chelsea.
Chelsea also made a big signing this summer. In addition to bringing in Brazilian winger Willian for 32 million pounds, they also spent 21 million euros from the Bundesliga on the introduction of young German star Schurrle.
In addition, Chelsea also signed Dutch star Van Ginkel from Carlos Tevez in the Eredivisie, and Eto'o who was free from a visa. The team's strength has been greatly improved and supplemented this summer.
The media in London said before the game that the UEFA Super Cup match against Aston Villa is the touchstone for testing this 'new' Chelsea team.
In the end, Aston Villa relied on Lewandowski's brace, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's one pass and one goal, and Vardy's goal from the bench to make it 4-2 at the Monaco II Stadium. Beat Chelsea and show everyone how strong they are.
After winning the European Super Cup, this is also Aston Villa's sixth championship trophy in 2013. This football team is currently the most popular team officially crowned six crowns.
...
"Now, for this Aston Villa team, they are short of the Club World Cup. If they can win the Club World Cup as they wish in December, Aston Villa will officially Crowned seven times, this is the first team in the history of European football to win seven times!" - L'Equipe.
The day after Aston Villa won the UEFA Super Cup and was crowned six crowns, UEFA conducted the draw ceremony for the UEFA Champions League group stage for the 2013/2014 season.
As the defending champion of the Champions League, Aston Villa was finally in a group with last season's top four teams in the Champions League, Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund, Serie A runner-up Naples last season and Ligue 1 giants Marseille. The outside world also commented on this The group is a well-deserved group of death.
On September 2, 2013, the 2013 summer transfer window officially closed.
In the transfer market of Aston Villa this summer, it turned out to be zero signings in the end. In terms of transfers, only Thornton transferred to his old club Inter Milan, and South Korean player Sun Xingmin renewed his lease on the Hamburg team. In addition, there are Wen Lei, a Chinese player who played in the Aston Villa reserve team last season, was loaned by Aston Villa to Ibiza in La Liga for one year.
Aston Villa, who were in a rush in every transfer market in previous years, can be said to be very quiet this summer.
However, everyone knows that by retaining stars such as Modric and Mane, the team has maintained stability. This is the best performance of this newly promoted giants team starting to march towards giants 2.0.
On September 2nd, there was an announcement in the corner of Aston Villa's official website.
The Aston Villa U16 youth team signed the fourteen-year-old French player Kylian Mbappe from the AS Bondy youth team in France. Aston Villa paid the AS Bondy club a one-time payment of 250,000 euros With the training fee, the ownership of this young player is obtained.
The announcement in this corner did not attract too many people's attention, even Aston Villa fans did not pay attention, that is, some die-hard fans who often pay attention to the youth team only understood a little bit: Oh, our youth team Signed a young guy with good talent from France, that's all.
...
October 1, 2013, the new Villa Park Stadium.
Previously, Aston Villa and Ibiza had played a warm-up match in this newly renovated new stadium, which was also a test match after the completion of the new stadium.
Today's game is the first official game in the true sense after the completion of the Villa Park Stadium.
This is the UEFA Champions League group match between Aston Villa and Serie A giants Naples at home.
Thirty-one minutes into the game, the score was still zero to zero.
Aston Villa attack from the frontcourt.
Aston Villa's attack was extremely fast this time, and the football ran smoothly. From the center to the left, then to the center, and then to the right, a hole was torn from Naples' defense.
Now it's James Rodriguez who holds the ball upfield.
Seeing Hamei take the ball, Ibrahimovic, who was originally in the penalty area, turned around and ran out of the penalty area, and at the same time raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Hamei's football was passed in time.
Ibrahimovic got the football!
"Ibrahimovic! Naples defenders be careful!" the commentator shouted, Ibrahimovic's recent state is really hot, the Premier League has gone on for six rounds, and Ibrahimovic has scored Got five balls.
Before the game, the Italian media specifically reminded Naples coach Benitez to be careful of Ibrahimovic.
Benitez obviously also knows the horror of Ibrahimovic, and explained the key defensive strategies and tactics against Ibrahimovic before the game.
Seeing that Ibrahimovic received a pass from Hamei at this time, Naples' defense immediately felt like a formidable enemy.
