Chapter 477 Fanny

"The atmosphere in the team is a bit depressed, and the players are not very emotional."

At the regular meeting of the coaching staff, Steve Warner said.

As a veteran employee of the Aston Villa team, Fang Jue assigned him the main task of paying attention to the mental outlook and physical condition of the players, and being responsible for communicating with important players of the team.

Fang Jue nodded, "I can see it."

It was already mid-September at this time, to be precise, this day was September 19th.

After the national team match day, the league has played two rounds, and Aston Villa's situation is a bit bad.

In the previous match against Fulham in the fourth round of the league, the team's midfielder and captain Petrov was injured and left the field, and the team's right back Lu Keyan was injured and left the field.

The post-match diagnosis was that Petrov tore the ligament in his left knee and would be out for eight to nine weeks.

In addition, Lu Keyang's thigh muscle strain will also be absent for at least a month.

During the subsequent national team game, Aston Villa suffered another heavy blow.

Deisler suffered a slight muscle strain in the German national team and will be absent for two to three weeks.

Veteran Heskey was also injured during the England national team game, and the veteran will rest for four to five weeks.

Even the little guy Mane was injured in the Senegal National Youth Team match and will be absent for at least two months.

Plus Gareth Bell who is still recovering from injury.

Aston Villa currently has six players injured, four of whom are the absolute main players of the team.

That's not counting those players who have minor injuries and are still playing.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the current Aston Villa with a full camp of wounded soldiers.

Not to mention, in the subsequent fifth round of the league and the Birmingham derby with Birmingham, the short-handed and exhausted Aston Villa played zero to zero with their opponents.

The score was zero to zero, and the scene was not dull at all.

A total of four players from both sides were sent off with red cards.

For Aston Villa, Diego Costa was sent off, and left-back Wilfred Bouma was also sent off for accumulating yellow cards.

And because Diego Costa was directly shown a red card, the Brazilian was suspended for three additional games.

This makes Aston Villa's already not wealthy family even worse.

Then in yesterday's sixth round of the league, Aston Villa even barely made up the squad for the game, and finally lost to Portsmouth at home 0-1.

Aston Villa suffered their first defeat of the season.

The team was full of injuries and suspended for two consecutive rounds with a draw and a loss. The morale of the team was greatly affected.

The coaching staff held a meeting and discussed for a long time how to stimulate the fighting spirit of the players and improve the sluggish atmosphere in the locker room.

Everyone knows that the best way is to win quickly.

There's nothing a win can't fix.

If not, keep winning.

However, the current injury and suspension of Aston Villa have damaged the team's strength, and it is not so easy to win.

Fang Jue was also very depressed. He even wondered if some guy had cast a curse on his team.

After all, this is not without precedent. In the second half of the league last season, Aston Villa's extremely weird twelve-game losing streak was an example.

...

The clouds scattered and the rain rested.

"How do I feel, you are not more excited and brave than that day." Papa asked suddenly.

Fang Jue was stunned for a moment, and understood what Papa meant.

He thought it could be the same?

The situation was special that day. In order to cope with the first and second half of the battle, he took the energy potion. Of course, it became more intense. He didn't see that when Marina left, she was like a watered flower...

Besides, it's not that he can't do it. I don't know if Papa is jealous of revenge. There have been three battles tonight...

Fang Jue hurriedly raised his hand and sent four. He was because the current situation of the team was not ideal, so the state was slightly affected by it.

"The situation of the team is not bad." Papa raised his head, picked up the water glass, and said with a sigh.

"With two games without a win, the morale of the players has been affected." Fang Jue sighed comfortably.

"Ranking third in the league, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?" Papa said with a smile, "Is it because the previous four consecutive victories made the whole team a little too proud?"

Uh? !

Fang Jue smacked his mouth and thought about it carefully, it was true.

Although the team has lost two games, it's really not true to say how bad the situation is.

After six rounds of the league, Aston Villa is currently ranked third in the league...

kindness?

Are we still third in the league?

Fang Jue picked up his mobile phone and checked the standings. He saw that the fourth place behind Aston Villa was Arsenal. He shook his head, which seemed to be true.

The team's injury situation and the recent unsatisfactory record made him irritable, and he didn't even pay attention to the standings for a while.

We didn't play well and were anxious, but it's okay, there are people worse than us.

Thinking of this, Fang Jue felt much better.

...

the next day.

Vera training base.

Aston Villa players entered the dressing room and saw a piece of paper taped to the wall.

This is the case with the latest league standings in enlarged print.

And their head coach Fang Jue is staring at the standings.

Seeing that the players were back, he turned around and looked at the players.

Fang Jue clapped his hands and signaled the players to listen to him.

"The team's recent situation is not very good." Fang Jue said.

"I can see that everyone is not in a good mood." Fang Jue continued, "Actually, I am in a bad mood just like everyone else."

"However, I took a look at the standings this morning." Fang Jue looked at his players, "I suddenly found it very interesting, and I think it is necessary to give me and everyone applause."

what rice?

Coach, are you sure this is not irony?

The players looked at each other.

"Isn't it?" Fang Jue said with a smile, satisfied with the players' reactions.

He pointed to the standings, "We are now ranked third in the league, ahead of Arsenal, and only two points away from the previous defending champion Manchester United."

"However, we were all disappointed and dissatisfied with our performance."

"This is a good thing, everyone." Fang Jue smiled, "What does this mean? It means that we are all confident, strong, and have high standards for ourselves and the team."

"Come, come, applaud, everyone applaud." Fang Jue said loudly, "Don't be embarrassed, and don't suspect that I'm talking ironically."

Seeing Fang Jue himself taking the lead in applauding, sparse applause rang out.

Fang Jue smiled all over his face, shook his head intentionally, and sighed, "It seems that we are really drifting away, and this makes Arsenal behind us feel bad."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The applause rose enthusiastically, some people laughed, and some people whistled.

"Guys, the team is now suffering from an injury crisis, which has affected our strength." Fang Jue waited until the players had had enough trouble before continuing.

"Difficulties are temporary, but the future is bright." He waved his arm. "The league is long. We must have confidence in ourselves. Of course, I am now convinced that we all have confidence in ourselves—"

There was another burst of laughter.

...

"Let's set a goal." Fang Jue said, "During the winter break, if we can stay in the top four, this is victory."

"Coach, there is no winter break in the Premier League." Someone shouted.

"Of course I know, slip of the tongue." Fang Jue made a serious face on purpose, and then finally smiled, "Well, what I mean is, we stay in that position during Christmas, and then we all spend Christmas happily Festival."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the locker room is much better, Fang Jue's assistants, Steven Warner, Ceballos, Osolalana and others from the coaching team are very happy.

"Fang is really good." Werner said with admiration, "Just a conversation, the morale and mood of the players are much better."

"No, what makes the players relax is Arsenal," Ceballos said. "It's a relief to see Arsenal behind you."

Looking at Ceballos who said this lightly, Werner looked reverently, and he felt that he was looking at a wise man.

...

Bang bang bang!

Fang Jue, who left the office and was about to get off work, heard the sound of bang bang bang in the distance.

It's so late, who is still on the training ground?

The Villa training base has a small training ground, which is prepared for players who like to practice more.

Fang Jue approached, and when he saw clearly who was doing extra training, he obviously showed a surprised expression.

The semi-automatic pitching machine spewed out six footballs, and the footballs rolled on the turf. The man ran up and completed the first shot with a bang. Then he turned around, saw another football, and took a step forward. Just shoot.

In this way, he used himself as the center of the circle and ran repeatedly within a radius of three or four meters, completing a six-foot shot.

In the end, the sweaty man, with his hands on his hips, gasped heavily.

"Here!" A figure rang beside my ear.

...

Suddenly there was a voice, and there was a white towel shaking in front of his eyes.

Ruud van Nistelrooy screamed in fright, rolled and crawled, turned his head while crawling, and saw Mr. the head coach who was holding the posture of handing the towel with an embarrassed face...
