Chapter 1012 Zlatan's Outbreak
Aston Villa hosts old rivals Borussia Dortmund at home.
The fight between the two teams in the semi-finals of the Champions League last season seems to be still yesterday, and now the two teams meet again.
In this summer, Dortmund's top general Gotze "defected" to Bayern Munich.
Dortmund fans and even the Dortmund team are very angry at Gotze's "defection".
Especially Gotze's close friend Hummels in Dortmund was even more furious.
Hummels was not valued by Bayern Munich before, which is why Fang Jue was able to poach Hummels to Ibiza.
In addition, Hummels' father was even fired by his old club Bayern Munich, which makes Hummels now recognized as an "anti-Bayern pioneer".
As for Gotze, he is simply a product of Dortmund's youth training, and his relationship with Bayern is inherently antagonistic.
After returning to Dortmund from Ibiza, Hummels and Gotze were roommates and the two had a good relationship.
According to the conventional plot trend, the brothers should work together to resist the "Bayern tyranny" and make the Hornet the new king of the Bundesliga.
However, Ge Ce chose to defect to King Nanda.
This made Hummels furious, and he angered his former brother Gotze in public more than once, accusing him of being a traitor.
A reporter told Hummels, isn't it normal for the German international to play for the strongest club in the Bundesliga?
Hummels responded unceremoniously that he would never play for Bayern!
Closer to home, after Gotze left, Dortmund introduced Armenian star Mkhitaryan.
In addition, Shaheen also returned to his old club Borussia Dortmund from Real Madrid.
Although Dortmund is not as good as last season on the star card, in fact, the strength of this team has not been damaged.
Therefore, this time Dortmund will fight Aston Villa again. The German media still have certain expectations for Dortmund to take away a relatively satisfactory result from the new Villa Park Stadium in the away game.
At the press conference before the game, Klopp talked about the game. He expressed regret that Lewandowski would be injured and missed the game. expectations.
...
Just three minutes into the game, Ibrahimovic told Klopp with practical actions: God bless the king.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic stood in front of Dortmund's gate. The tall and tall Swedish veteran opened his arms and looked triumphant.
His teammates rushed over excitedly and celebrated the goal with him.
Huge cheers and chants erupted from the stands at the new Villa Park stadium.
"Goooooooooooooooooal!"
"Brilliant! Zlatan Ibrahimovic's goal, he received a pass from Modric in the penalty area, stopped the ball with his left foot, and then directly half-turned and volleyed it. This is definitely a Champions League game. One of the most beautiful goals of the day." The commentator John Mortensen shouted excitedly, such a goal is really exciting!
The German commentator kept shaking his head and sighing, "This is Ibrahimovic, this is Ibrahimovic, he is too strong, only such a player can score such a goal, Hummels was in position but he couldn't stop Zlatan Ibrahimovic from scoring."
Fang Jue was also very excited. He jumped up from the coach seat and shook his fist vigorously.
With Lewandowski injured, who's coming for Aston Villa?
This has become the most worrying question for Fang Jue. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a top striker, but the Swedish veteran has never been a particularly prolific shooter. Of course, this "high prolific" has now "changed". .
Before Messi and Ronaldo, it was quite remarkable for a striker to score more than 20 goals in a season.
However, now that Ronaldo and Messi are always cutting melons and vegetables, they usually score more than 30 or even 40 goals in the league. Brahimovic was really helpless. Of course, Zlatan himself didn't think so.
Ibrahimovic's scoring status this season is even better, which makes Fang Jue start thinking for the first time:
Is Zlatan about to usher in a big explosion in his later years?
On the field, Ibrahimovic, who had finished celebrating the goal, was still emotional. He ran to the sidelines and gave Fang Jue a high-five.
"What did you say to Zlatan?" Ceballos asked Fang Jue.
He noticed that Jue had a private conversation with Ibrahimovic before the game, and then he saw that Ibrahimovic was struggling.
"I told him that some people said he scored too few goals." Fang Jue said.
Ceballos suddenly realized, he felt that Fang Jue was simply a thief.
...
Just two days ago, FIFA and "French Football" magazine announced the 23-man shortlist for the 2013 FIFA Ballon d'Or.
Last season's Champions League champion Aston Villa became the biggest winner, with a total of 5 people selected.
As the Champions League champions last season, Aston Villa has Lewandowski, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Modric, Clement and Thiago Silva in the second round. The list of thirteen people.
As last season's UEFA Champions League runner-up, Bayern Munich also has Ribery, Robben, Neuer and Lahm, four players selected for the squad.
In the end, at the league level, the Premier League was selected the most. In addition to the five players from Aston Villa, the Premier League also included Arsenal's O'Brien, Manchester United's Robin van Persie and Chelsea's Hazard. A total of eight players were selected in the Premier League, which also broke the record. This ended La Liga's monopoly on FIFA's 23-man roster.
In fact, in recent years, La Liga has created a situation in which La Liga players have continuously monopolized the 23-man squad.
La Liga has a huge advantage in the selection of the Ballon d'Or in recent years, especially last year's 23-man roster actually included 12 La Liga players, and La Liga's strength once reached its peak.
However, with Aston Villa reaching the top of Europe again after a lapse of two years, and the rise of Bundesliga forces represented by Bayern Munich and Dortmund, as well as the loss of Falcao, Ozil and other stars, Casilla Due to factors such as Sri Lanka's 'falling out of favor', the number of finalists in La Liga this year is only a little more than half of last year's.
Five of them are from Barcelona (Messi, Neymar, Iniesta, Xavi and Suarez) and two are from Real Madrid (Ronaldo and Bale).
The superstar policy of Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco allows Ligue 1 to occupy two seats in the squad, namely Cavani and Falcao.
Serie A has declined further, leaving only veteran Pirlo to support the facade.
In the most glorious period of Serie A in the 1980s and 1990s, Serie A players not only won the European Golden Globe Award for several consecutive years, but even won the top three Golden Globe Awards in the three years from 1988 to 1990. .
But the glory has been preserved in memory. After Kaka won the European Ballon d'Or in 2007, no player in Serie A was selected for the top three of the Ballon d'Or.
In the past four years, the number of 23-man squads in Serie A has decreased almost at the rate of arithmetic progression: in 2010, there were four players including Sneijder, Eto'o, Cesar and Maicon; in 2011, Fran and Sneijder 2 People, there were only Buffon and Pirlo in 2012, and this year there is only one seedling of Pirlo.
...
After the 23-man squad for the FIFA Ballon d'Or came out, the topic of who is most likely to win this year's Ballon d'Or began to heat up.
In the eyes of many media and fans, this year should be the top three of Messi, Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic.
Ibrahimovic helped Aston Villa win the Premier League last season, the English League Cup, the FA Cup and the Champions League. After the start of the new season, he helped Aston Villa win the England Championship. The champion of the Community Shield Cup and the European Super Cup have already been crowned six times. Such achievements are the biggest capital for Ibrahimovic to compete for the Golden Globe Award.
However, in the eyes of many media and fans, they are still more optimistic about Messi or Ronaldo winning the Ballon d'Or.
Although Messi and Ronaldo are not as good as Ibrahimovic this year in terms of personal honor, they are worse than Ibrahimovic in terms of personal data.
Some media and fans began to hype the topic that Ibrahimovic is not worthy of the Golden Globe Award. One of the important arguments is:
Ibrahimovic scored fewer goals.
It is conceivable that what Fang Jue said to Ibrahimovic was very irritating to this proud Swedish veteran.
...
After the announcement of the 23-man shortlist for the Ballon d'Or, FIFA will announce the three finalists on December 2, and the final awards ceremony will be held in Zurich on January 13 next year.
The Aston Villa club also held a special high-level meeting, which is to mobilize all possible forces to create public opinion momentum to create momentum for Ibrahimovic to compete for this year's FIFA Golden Globe Award.
Fang Jue and others analyzed the current situation and generally believed that Messi would be Ibrahimovic's biggest enemy in the Golden Globe competition.
Compared with Ronaldo, Messi had the La Liga champion in his hands last season, which was more threatening.
Yes, although Barcelona failed to win the Champions League last season, and was slaughtered by Bayern Munich 7-0 in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
However, in the eyes of many, Messi is still one of the top contenders.
There is another important reason, that is, Platini admires Messi very much, and the head of UEFA often praises Messi.
Of course, this is the FIFA Ballon d'Or after all, and Blatter's attitude is even more critical.
FIFA President Sepp Blatter's words in an interview recently that he supported Messi and looked down on Ronaldo were also heatedly discussed.
Blatter said in an interview at the "Oxford Union Social Forum" in the UK: "Messi is a good boy. Every parent likes to have such a good boy at home. He is very fast on the court, unstoppable, and he plays football. It's like dancing on the court."
And Ronaldo became "another" in Blatter's mouth, and the FIFA president didn't even mention his name. "The other is a commander on the field, but he likes to take care of his hair very much. It takes more time than the other players. I like both of them, but I prefer Messi."
As for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Blatter just mentioned, "A season of outstanding performance can't explain anything."
Blatter’s biased statement caused an uproar, and Fang Jue directly criticized Blatter for not saying such a statement, “In such an important position, some words will be over-interpreted. unfair. '
In addition, while announcing the Golden Globe list, "French Football" also announced the 10-man shortlist for the best coach in 2013.
Aston Villa champion coach Fang Jue, who led Aston Villa to achieve six crowns, was undoubtedly selected.
In addition, the German coach Heynckes, who led Bayern Munich to achieve the double crown and regrettably finished runner-up in the Champions League, was also selected without dispute.
These two people are considered to be big favorites, among which Fang Jue is the number one favorite for the best head coach.
Among the 10 candidates, apart from the two national team coaches, Bosque and Scolari, the remaining 8 are all from the club: Ancelotti, Conte, Ferguson, Heynckes, Klopp, Mourinho Austria and Wenger and Fang Jue.
However, Barcelona coach Vilanova, who still led Barcelona to regain the La Liga championship with a 100% record last season despite suffering from cancer, did not appear in this list.
This also caused quite a bit of controversy.
Fang Jue said bluntly that Vilanova deserves to be on the list.
In addition, what Fang Jue didn't tell Ceballos was that he told Ibrahimovic that if possible, he was willing to exchange the best coach ten times for Ibrahimovic's Golden Globe , not because of 'poor' him, but because he feels that Zlatan is the most deserving!
This moved Zlatan...
...
After falling behind zero to one, Dortmund did not panic.
Dortmund, who is a guest at the new Villa Park Stadium, is obviously mentally prepared for the team to concede the ball first.
In the 19th minute of the game, Dortmund got a chance to set the ball in the front court.
Shaheen hoisted the football into the penalty area. Dortmund central defender Hummels shook his head and attacked the goal. The football was thrown by Aston Villa goalkeeper Ter Stegen and bounced in front of the goal.
Aubameyang grabbed a shovel shot in front of the goal, and the football was blocked by Senderos on the goal line.
However, no one could stop Mkhitaryan's empty goal after that.
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaal!"
"Mkhitaryan, the Armenian scored a goal. He scored at the new Villa Park to tie the score for Dortmund to one to one!" The German commentator roared, "Very crucial goal, this goal Crucial for Dortmund's morale."
Five minutes later, Dortmund played Aston Villa a counterattack.
This is Mkhitaryan sent a precise through ball, and Aubameyang successfully dribbled the ball into the penalty area against offside.
Aubameyang's shot was thrown by Ter Stegen and then bounced back to Aubameyang's goal. This time Aubameyang would not waste any more opportunities, and he then pushed the empty goal and succeeded.
Two to one!
Dortmund turned away and reversed the score.
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!"
"This is Aubameyang, this is an exciting goal, two to one, Dortmund took the lead after conceding a goal first! Two goals in five minutes, the Hornets did a good job!" The German commentator shouted excitedly.
