Chapter 534: Super Showdown (Monthly Subscription Pass Required)
Such a bad old man, you can't just grab a sheep to squeeze the wool.
Fang Jue had a big fight with Ferguson on the phone.
He will not taunt Ferguson for nothing.
This is because when he came to the office, he saw a fax report on the desk.
This is a fax asking price from Manchester United.
Manchester United have taken a fancy to Ashley Young and asked Aston Villa how much they are willing to sell.
Fang Jue immediately became angry.
Ferguson had set his sights on Abang Lahuo before, but Fang Jue directly and sternly refused.
Now, Ferguson has taken a fancy to Ashley Young again, and the old man seems to be determined to poach someone from Aston Villa.
Fang Jue directly rejected Ferguson's poaching on the phone.
He bluntly told the old Scottish man not to think of his players.
It can be said that the two people got angry after arguing and broke up unhappy.
...
Fang Jue thought this was over.
On this night, Ashley Young's agent said to him: "United want you, I think"
"My situation at Villa is okay now," Ashley Young said.
"Did you really not want to go to a giant like Manchester United?" the agent said, "This is Manchester United. This is your chance, Ashley."
Ashley Young was silent. He wanted to say that he would continue to play in Aston Villa, but the temptation of Manchester United made him hesitate and he couldn't speak.
"Sir Ferguson admires you very much." The agent continued to persuade.
"When can I meet with Sir Alex Ferguson?" Ashley Young interrupted the agent. He needed to have a personal interview with Ferguson before he could rest assured.
Ten minutes later, a call from the space calling card reached Ashley Yang's cell phone.
The old Scottish man sent an invitation to Ashley Young, "Either come to Manchester United and meet the challenge without regret, or go to other places and hang out with mediocrity."
Afterwards, the agent continued the call with Manchester.
Ten minutes later.
"Where is the pen?"
Ashley Young asked jokingly.
It was agreed to sign with Manchester United.
The temptation of the giants Manchester United, Ferguson's personal invitation, and those passionate words are the reasons.
Of course, there is another small factor, that is:
Manchester United told him directly that they were willing to give him a salary of 100,000 pounds a week.
Ashley Young currently earns £45,000-a-week at Aston Villa.
And Aston Villa's current maximum salary in the team is Deisler's weekly salary of 80,000 pounds...
Fang Jue never imagined that his players were almost ready to 'defect' so simply and neatly.
...
After the training on December 22, Fang Jue received a visitor in his office.
It's Ashley Young's manager Paige.
The agent, with a smile on his face, respectful but firm, informed Fang Jue that his players were determined to accept Manchester United's invitation.
Fang Jue knew that Ferguson would not give up so easily. What he didn't expect was that his players would be persuaded to "defect" so easily.
There was a heated quarrel between the two sides.
In the end, Byron, the general manager of the club who "arrived after hearing the news", persuaded both parties to calm down.
Fang Jue couldn't keep calm, he just said a word, and left after get off work:
Manchester United want Ashley Young, no way!
"Mr. Page, you have also seen that Fang's attitude is very firm." Byron spread his hands.
"Ashley has decided to leave." Page said, "It's just that he doesn't want to get into trouble with the club."
"I hope so." Byron nodded. "From my point of view, I tend to facilitate this deal, but I must respect the wishes of the coach."
"I need something to say, Mr. Coach nods, and a reason for the general acceptance of the club."
Page glanced at each other, and he understood.
"Coach Fang Jue does not agree to let people go." Page said to Ashley Young, "However, General Manager Byron said he would persuade the coach."
"What they need is the sincerity of Manchester United." Leaving the Villa training base, Page took out his mobile phone and dialed the number from Manchester.
...
Fang Jue really didn't think about selling Ashley Young.
The speed and impact of the young England international still make him very satisfied.
Therefore, the anger he felt when he was "forced into the palace" by Ashley Young's agent Paige was not faked.
However, he never thought of selling Ashley Young.
That doesn't mean Ashley Young can't sell.
The key is to sell a what kind of price.
Moreover, Fang Jue thought about it carefully. Ashley Young's departure was tantamount to making room for Sadio Mane.
This will greatly increase the playing time that Mane can get.
As for whether Mane can fill the vacancy left by Ashley Young.
Fang Jue has no doubts about the talent potential and ability of the Senegalese kid.
His bole vision is not blown out.
This is recognized by the system.
...
"Congratulations to the host, do you want to receive the 'Christmas' reward immediately?"
"receive!"
There are system rewards for major festivals, and this is a small surprise after his level has been raised to the [Famous Marshal] level.
Currently, there are only rewards for Christmas and Spring Festival.
And as his level continues to increase, the quantity and quality of festival rewards will further increase.
【Reinforced Iron Bone】Red.
The so-called [Reinforced Iron Bone] means that after using this skill card, the players can reduce the probability of injury to a certain extent on the training ground, turning danger into luck.
The red [Reinforced Iron Bone] skill card is valid for two months.
This skill card is a bit tricky.
This is a red level, and as the level continues to increase, the validity period of the skill card will be longer, and not only in the training field, but also in the competition field, there is a great chance to reduce the probability of injury.
...
December 24, 2009.
Aston Villa's training base.
On the training ground of the first team, Fang Jue's roar could be heard from far away.
"Felipe, hurry up and rush up!"
"If you don't block the ball, then you fucking put that person down!"
"Curtis! Behind you is the goalkeeper and the goal he is guarding. If you don't stop the ball, then you have to stay."
"Gareth, rush him! You are so fast, he can't catch up with you!"
"David, you have to be tough!"
At the end of training, the players were exhausted and panting.
The team doctor and physiotherapy team also rushed into the arena. Just now, everyone on the field was on their backs. Although the team's training was restrained, judging by the posture, the staff was really worried that it would cause "accidental accidental injury".
"What happened to him?" Steve Warner asked in surprise.
Fang Jue has been uncharacteristically in the past two days, and his temper was very violent during the training.
The requirements for the players are also very strict.
Moreover, Fang Jue adjusted the content of tactical training, requiring players to strengthen the intensity and ruthlessness of fighting during training.
"I don't know." Ceballos shook his head.
"Do you want to persuade?" Werner asked. He was frightened watching this from the sidelines, and was really worried that some players would be injured.
"Don't." Ceballos immediately dissuaded, "Although I don't understand, I believe in Fang."
"You trust him so unconditionally?" Werner asked.
"Because it turns out, he's always right in the end."
Werner felt that he was speechless.
All other leagues have entered the winter break, and those players have begun to enjoy a wonderful holiday, only the Premier League is still fighting fiercely.
This will more or less affect the players.
In addition, the performance of the stadium during this period of time is good.
When Christmas came, Fang Jue noticed that there was a loose atmosphere in the whole team.
This is what Fang Jue does not want to see.
And considering that the focus of the battle with Arsenal will be a few days later, the team's spirit cannot be broken.
The method Fang Jue adopted was to increase the amount of training and use almost harsh training to "torture" the players.
Let these guys be exhausted and panting during training, so they don't have time to think about so many messy things.
Immediately raise the atmosphere and spirit of the whole team.
Of course, in order to prevent the players from being injured, Fang Jue has already used the red skill card of [Reinforced Iron Bone].
This is why he is not too worried about players being injured.
...
Two days later, on December 26, the Aston Villa team set off for London by bus.
Tomorrow, the 19th round of the Premier League, which is also the last round of the first half of the league, Aston Villa will be a guest at the Emirates Stadium against the giants Arsenal.
Chelsea are currently at the top of the Premier League standings with 41 points.
Arsenal ranked second with 38 points.
Aston Villa has 38 points, ranking third.
Manchester United is fourth with 37 points.
This game is the well-deserved number one focus battle of this round.
As long as Aston Villa wins this game, the ranking will jump to second place in the league.
The game will be played on the night of December 27th.
Even in the morning of this day, Fang Jue still emphasized fighting in Aston Villa's training, shouting and agitating loudly on the sidelines.
He conveyed a kind of emotion to the players, the relaxed psychology that should have been during the festival and the rebellious emotion of this kind of hard training are fermenting.
The sentiment intensified among the players.
Up until the day of the game, there was a sense of danger in the visiting dressing room at the Emirates Stadium.
Ibiza's media "Sunday Telegraph" once analyzed the young champion coach in depth.
The media praised Fang Jue endlessly.
The newspaper described Fang Jue as having a bright mind.
Very good at cultivating team atmosphere and doing pre-war mobilization.
The media is right.
Instead of reducing the amount of training during the Christmas festival, the team has greatly increased the intensity and intensity of training.
This made many Aston Villa players a little dissatisfied.
They feel that the team ranks third in the league and has good results. They have worked hard for nearly half a season. Christmas is coming, so why not let everyone relax a little bit?
It's not that the players want to fight against Fang Jue.
This is a normal accumulation of negative emotions.
Until now, the match against Arsenal is about to take place.
Fang Jue felt that the time was ripe.
Before the game against Arsenal, Fang Jue made the final pre-war mobilization to his players in the locker room.
...
In the locker room, Fang Jue said to the Aston Villa players who had already changed their jerseys and were waiting to play:
"In the past few days, everyone must have blamed me in their hearts, thinking that I was too strict with you, and that I was too unreasonable in a day like Christmas."
"Here, I want to say to everyone first that you are doing well."
"This is a high-standard training requirement. I am very happy that everyone has persisted."
"In addition, I want to apologize to everyone."
Hearing what Fang Jue said, the players showed strange expressions. Is the coach apologizing for the 'torture' he gave them during this period?
"Don't think about it, I'm not apologizing for being strict with you."
"What I want to apologize for is that I admit that I underestimated you." Fang Jue said, "I thought some people would fall behind and complain."
"but."
"Although you are dissatisfied, you strictly enforce my tactical intentions on the training ground."
"It also made me more determined in my own mind."
"Before this, I never said why I did that?"
"The reason is simple, win the game, win the game against Arsenal!"
"This is the last round of the league in the first half of the schedule."
"Win the game, we will be the second place in the league!"
"Last season, the team ended the season seventh in the league. Now, we only spent half a season and came back."
"No, to be precise, we did better."
"Better than a lot of people, the media and the fans want."
"When the season started, those guys didn't think we'd have a chance to compete for the top four."
"But what about now?"
"Win this game, surpass Arsenal and beat Manchester United!"
"This is where we should be!"
"In my opinion, you are unique and deserve all the applause and honor."
"This game is a great opportunity to prove that we are unique!"
"Arsenal are only three points behind Chelsea, they still want to win the title, this is their territory!"
"Their goal is to win and they will definitely go all out. This is a good opponent and can prove the gold content of our victory."
"A tie for second place."
"It's a real super conversation!"
"Win the game and tell everyone how strong we are!"
Fang Jue looked at his players.
"As for why there are such strict and intense training requirements." Fang Jue smiled, "It's very simple, Arsenal are most afraid of such tactics!"
"So, in the past few days, all your unhappiness, all your hard work, and all your anger." Fang Jue waved his hand, "Let's vent it to this opponent. This is what you have worked so hard to save for dear Arsenal at Christmas." Christmas present!"
...
at the same time.
the other side.
Inside the home team dressing room at the Emirates Stadium.
Wenger glanced around at his players.
"Boys, in this game, we not only want to win, but also win beautifully!"
"Goal! Keep scoring goals!" Wenger clapped his hands, "Aston Villa won Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United, but I'm not afraid of him."
"Get rid of Villa and tell our neighbors that we are the strongest and the champion is ours."
Wenger's assistant, Arsenal assistant coach Pat Rice looked at Wenger in surprise. The professor has never been good at mobilizing speeches before battles, but today's words are really exciting.
The players were also excited by the excitement, opened the door of the locker room with a slam, and rushed out.
Wenger took out a page from his pocket and glanced at it:
There should be nothing missing just now.
However, don't mention it, this kind of passionate speech really has a good atmosphere and feels good.
No wonder the guy from far away in Italy likes to do this so much.
