Chapter 415 Engagement (Part 2)
Anfield Stadium.
Liverpool fans are reveling, red flags flying high.
The Aston Villa players fled in a hurry. In the camera, Aston Villa owner Randy Lerner in the VIP box looked livid:
The electronic scoreboard at Anfield faithfully recorded the extremely brutal score Liverpool 7:1 Aston Villa!
This is the 30th round of the Premier League. Aston Villa is a guest at Anfield Stadium. After losing consecutive games, Aston Villa, which has slipped to fifth place, desperately needs a victory. Liverpool went 7-0.
"This is already Aston Villa's four consecutive league defeats. After the UEFA Cup first leg defeat at home at the foot of the dark horse leader Ibiza in the UEFA Cup, the team has lost four consecutive defeats in the Premier League. up." BBC5 commentator Lineker shook his head and said, "After losing today's game, Aston Villa is already 4 points behind fourth-placed Arsenal."
"This means that Aston Villa's previous record is good. They have not been opened up after losing four consecutive rounds, and they still have the hope of being in the top four of the league." Eddie Gray sarcasm Arsenal , "Arsenal is now in fourth place, not because of how good they are, but because Aston Villa have been terrible recently."
According to the "Sun" report, Aston Villa owner Randy Lerner scolded the players after the game, and the team coach Martin O'Neill was also severely criticized by him.
However, the Aston Villa club immediately refuted the rumors, saying that the "Sun" was lying, and the boss did not curse at all, because he knew that the players were more sad than him.
...
Randy Lerner really didn't swear, because he couldn't care less about swearing anymore. Less than half an hour after the end of the game, the rich man in the United States received a call from his assistant. He applied to the bank to continue to delay the loan repayment period The appeal was dismissed.
Randy Lerner immediately contacted his close friends at the bank.
"Sorry, this is the final decision." The friend told him regretfully, "We have made an assessment, and judging from the current situation, it is difficult for Aston Villa to be ranked in the top four of the Premier League. Aston Villa's guaranteed Champions League revenue deal for the season was not taken up and will not be taken up again."
Randy Lerner is angry and has a big head. Before that, he was happy to postpone the repayment of the loan for three consecutive months, and Aston Villa's performance was also good. The husband was very happy, and by the way, he spent a lot of money and invested a spare fund on hand...
Therefore, the current situation is that the funds on hand of Mr. Randy Lerner are not enough to repay the huge loan due at the end of next month, unless he is willing to sell part of Aston Villa's shares or other properties property.
...
"Aston Villa have contacted us," Papa said.
"Is he willing to sell the club?" Fang Jue asked.
"Americans are only willing to sell part of the ownership, and the price is high." Papa said.
Randy Lerner wants to sell 30% of the club to F&P for £45m...
This is simply wishful thinking. The price is still based on Aston Villa's overall offer of 150 million pounds, which is obviously higher than the normal market price. It is obvious that the Americans regard F&P as a winner.
"He wants to sell part of the shares to cash in and get through the current debt crisis while continuing to retain absolute control over the club."
Soon, Mr. Randy Lerner received a reply from the negotiating team of F&P, which rejected Aston Villa's plan to acquire the club in a small amount, and F&P only accepted the overall acquisition of Aston Villa. This kind of plan, and sent their latest acquisition offer: 70 million pounds to acquire Aston Villa Club.
This offer is obviously unacceptable to Randy Lerner. You must know that he spent 66 million pounds when he acquired Aston Villa three years ago. And his investment in the club, 70 million pounds is obviously without any sincerity.
"asshole!"
"damn it!"
"Even if I had the club in my hands, I wouldn't sell it to them."
Randy Lerner was furious.
"Do you want to suspend the negotiation?" the assistant asked.
"Tell them!" Randy Lerner gritted his teeth, "140 million pounds, this is the only price we can accept."
Assistant: (⊙⊙) OK.
...
On March 28, gongs, drums and firecrackers blared in Ibiza.
This most famous tourist island in Spain has become a sea of joy.
The engagement ceremony of Mr. Fang Jue, head coach of Ibiza Club, and Ms. Evelyn Papa Karina, general manager of the club, was held at the Ibiza Sporting Stadium.
Family members, relatives and friends, guests from both men and women, and at least 6,000 fans witnessed the engagement ceremony.
"Looking at Papa in a pink princess dress, my heart is trembling, and the whole person seems to be drunk... It is my proposal to hold an engagement ceremony at the stadium, this club, this stadium , is the bond of our acquaintance and love, with so many family members, relatives and friends, and so many lovely fans witnessing together, I am very happy, and Papa is also very happy..."
But Fang Jue didn't know that he was almost out of mood to write this diary. On the day of the engagement ceremony, one hour before the flight from Lisbon to Ibiza was about to take off, Miss Marina Mendes was told, Due to a system failure, the ticket she purchased was not successfully issued.
Ms. Mendes took out her mobile phone and showed the staff a text message, on which there was a reminder of a successful reservation.
"Sorry, the fact is that the system did not issue the ticket successfully, and your seat has been reserved by other passengers."
"I want another class, as long as I have a ticket."
"Sorry, no tickets, all sold out."
This is the last flight from Lisbon to Ibiza this week.
The angry Miss Mendes said that she would use legal promotion to protect her rights, but this cannot change the fact that she rushed to Ibiza to play with the ball on this day.
Miss Mendes was then taken home by her mother to raise her baby. She sneaked out after calculating the time. The super agent Mendes was very angry. He was willing to accept this grandson (daughter), but he was not willing to accept it. The child's father, even though Miss Mendes hadn't actually intended to tell him.
An hour later, the flight, which was almost half empty, departed from Lisbon and flew to Ibiza.
...
April 1st, April Fool's Day.
Fang Jue 'entered' the system to draw a lottery. I don't know if it was because of the happiness brought about by the engagement. This time the lottery was lucky, and he got a 'Copy Card'.
Three days later, Ibiza, the Athletic Stadium, the most focused match of the 29th round of La Liga will start here.
Ibiza hosts Real Madrid.
After crossing the barrier of Barcelona in the last round of the league, Real Madrid is also considered to be the team most likely to block Ibiza's winning inertia among Ibiza's remaining league opponents.
Before the game, the Catalan media uncharacteristically praised Real Madrid, praised Real Madrid's outstanding performance after the coaching change, praised the atmosphere in the dressing room of Real Madrid, praised the good state of Real Madrid's players, well, in addition to praise, He also played up the previous game where Ibiza defeated Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, talking about revenge.
Anyway, just to express a meaning, Real Madrid is in excellent form now, everything is fine, when is it not time to take revenge?
The Spanish media and fans were all happy. Obviously, everyone knew that Barcelona had pinned their hope of winning the league on Real Madrid's ability to stop Ibiza.
Of course, for Real Madrid, there is also a reason to win. They counted the two rounds of the Spanish Super Cup before the start of the season this season. They have lost against Ibiza three times before. If they lose again this time For Ibiza, that's getting fucked by Ibiza four times in one season, which is too embarrassing for the Galacticos.
In addition, Real Madrid still retains a glimmer of hope to win the league championship. This glimmer of hope is pinned on the basis of their victory over Ibiza in this game. If they can win, Real Madrid will narrow the gap with Ibiza. With 11 points, with nine rounds left in the league, although there is little hope of a comeback, there is always something to look forward to, isn't it?
If this game is lost, there is no need to mention everything again. Real Madrid's only goal this season is to compete with Barcelona for the second place in the league...
In this game, Ibiza, who sits at home and holds a 14-point lead, played very steadily. Fang Jue formed almost the same lineup as against Barcelona, and played a defensive counterattack against Real Madrid at home.
The game went into stoppage time, and the score on the field was still zero to zero.
Even the commentator was already paying attention to the zero-to-zero score to sum up the game. At this time, the goal appeared.
Real Madrid, who were desperate to attack, were countered by Ibiza. Lewandowski took advantage of an excellent movement in the penalty area and found a good chance to shoot.
After Deisler and Fareko hit the wall, they made a gesture to split the sides, but they passed the football to the center.
Lewandowski was cleverly interspersed, and he volleyed before Ramos made a clearance!
The football leaped up, passed over the left hand of Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas, and went straight into the net.
...
"Robert Lewandowski! Robert Lewandowski!!" Dolores the commentator suddenly exclaimed. "He was like an assassin, a real striker, he was in the most important position at the right time! Then he made the most correct moves! This is not a Lewandowski in the absolute sense Featured goal, 1:0! Ibiza leads 1-0, this is a lore, this is a lore, this can even be said to be a goal that determines the league championship this season!!!”
"One to zero! Ibiza beat Real Madrid. After winning this game, Ibiza's points reached 77 points. Barcelona's game is over. Barcelona won, and Ibiza is still ahead. Barcelona have 11 points and with nine rounds to play in the league, Ibiza is making great strides towards the La Liga title!"
Robert Lewandowski, who scored the goal, rushed to the captain Deisler who passed him the ball, and then the two hugged each other.
Then more Ibiza players rushed up.
"This is Robert Lewandowski's 19th league goal this season, and this is also Sebastian Deisler's 8th assist this season. Lewandowski ranks first in the top scorer list in La Liga. Third, in front of him are Forlan with 23 goals and Eto'o with 21 goals, and behind him are Villa with 18 goals and Messi with 16 goals."
"On the assist list, Deisler ranked third with 8 assists, ahead of him was Harvey with 14 assists and Juan Mata with 10 assists, except for Deisler and Mata, Ivy The Sa team and Alba also tied for third place with 8 assists and Deisler, and Barcelona's Messi ranked fifth with 7 assists."
The entire Ibiza Sporting Stadium, no, to be precise, the entire Ibiza island was in a state of huge cheers and madness.
Ten seconds later, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. Ibiza defeated Real Madrid 1-0, killing Real Madrid four times this season.
Fang Jue waved his arms and rushed into the field frantically. Behind him were the equally crazy Ibiza substitute players, coaches, and team staff.
After winning this game, Ibiza continues to remain unbeaten and leads La Liga. In addition, with nine rounds left in the league, Ibiza leads the league's fifth-placed Villarreal by 30 points More, they have already locked in the UEFA Champions League qualification for next season nine rounds ahead of schedule.
This is also the earliest record for La Liga to lock in the Champions League qualification in advance in the past ten years.
After the game, the entire Spanish sports media was talking about the game, talking about Ibiza, talking about Fang Jue. To be precise, it is more objective to change the word "talking" to "praise".
Fang Jue ignored these compliments because he was deeply worried about Aston Villa.
...
In the 31st round of the Premier League on the second day, Aston Villa lost 2:5 away at the feet of Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United.
For Aston Villa, after losing this game, Aston Villa ranked fifth in the league with 51 points, and Everton, the sixth place behind them, also has 51 points and has already caught up. And the most important thing is that Aston Villa is now 7 points behind the fourth place Arsenal. One can imagine the difficulty for Villa to regain the fourth place in the league from Arsenal, who returned to the fourth place in the league.
Fang Jue looked at the haggard face of Aston Villa boss Randy Lerner in the BBC5 interview report on the screen of his laptop, and sighed, expressing his deep sympathy to the gentleman.
Fang Jue seemed to want to help this poor American, to help him escape, he was always so helpful.
Three days later, in the first leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals, Ibiza drew 0-0 with Dynamo Kyiv at home. For Ibiza, a draw in the first leg without allowing the opponent to score an away goal is an acceptable result.
Three days later on the weekend, in the 30th round of La Liga, Ibiza was a guest at Villarreal's Estadio de la La Liga. In this game, Royce returned from injury, and the German 'Little Rocket' who came off the bench received Mata After the pass, he cut in and shot successfully. This was also the only goal of the game. Ibiza beat Villarreal 1-0 away.
Three hours later, Fang felt that when he returned home to rest, he got the news. In the thirty-second round of the Premier League, Aston Villa lost 2-4 at home to Everton. After losing to Ibiza for the first time in the UEFA Cup, Aston Villa fell to sixth in the Premier League after losing this game. In addition, Aston Villa Ten points behind the fourth place in the league, Arsenal, with six rounds left in the league, the difficulty of competing for the fourth place in the league can be imagined.
At noon the next day, Fang Jue received a call from Papa, saying that Aston Villa had made significant progress...
