Chapter 545 The Possibility of Aston Villa Winning the Championship? (Seeking Subscription Monthly Pass)

In Senegal, about 3,000 miles away from the Villa Park Stadium, a remote village of Bambali (Bambali).

This is a brand new three-story building.

The most intuitive impression of the building is: big.

It occupies a large area.

That means more than enough room.

It is also the most beautiful residence in the village.

This is Mane's home.

The kid who played football in far away Europe sent most of his salary home, and the family built a big house and bought brand new furniture and appliances.

There are more than sixty residents in the entire building, Manet's brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins, cousins, grandparents, grandparents' siblings and their families .

The kid who went out to play football at the age of fifteen, pursued his dreams, and finally started to make his mark, won the La Liga championship trophy, and now plays in the Premier League, earning pounds, is the pride of the whole family and... a long-term meal ticket.

Someone in the family gets ahead, and the whole family lives together and enjoys the blessings. This is the norm in Senegal, or rather, in the whole of Africa.

For example, Alexander Song, a Cameroon star who is currently playing for the Premier League giants Arsenal.

After he renewed his contract at Arsenal and got a big contract, he immediately bought a sports car.

Then, a month later, the star sold the luxury car for a slightly more ordinary BMW.

The reason was that he felt he couldn't afford expensive sports cars.

Because he has more than two hundred relatives to support.

Alexander Song's father died when he was two years old, but he left behind five wives and twenty-eight brothers and sisters.

These twenty-eight brothers and sisters got married and had children and continued to expand in size.

He worked hard as a meal ticket for the whole family.

These two hundred relatives don't do any work. All they have to do is call Alexander Song every day: Send money!

It once happened that Alexander Song's money was stripped by his relatives. The relatives clamored that there was no steak to eat, and Cesc Fabregas bought a cart of beef to send to his relatives.

Perhaps Mane is luckier than Alexander Song. Although his family is also enjoying his glory, they have not completely given up work. Most of the family members are still willing to do some work.

This is due to the fact that Mane has a good mother. The mother does not want her son to work too hard. She warns other people in the family, those who do not work, do not want to get money from Mane.

When a mother really loves her son.

Although the effect is not good, but at least it is useful. There will be fewer people who get something for nothing and only want to suck the blood of Ma Nei.

In Bambari, where the pace of life is slow, sitting in front of the TV and watching distant England games and watching Mane play football has become the biggest event of the whole family.

...

When Mane received a pass from Quaresma, drove the ball all the way, and finally scored the football into Wigan Athletic's goal.

People throughout the great living room went into ecstasy and shouted.

The boys in the front row cheered.

One boy slides and kneels on the floor, and another jumps into the air to celebrate.

A woman looks so happy that she has the best news in the world...

Mane's goal helped Aston Villa seal the victory.

And Mane—the child of Bambari, the pride of the family—is the hero of the village.

As the uproar was heard, more and more locals poured into the room, and the audience in the room eventually exceeded 100 people.

On TV, the black kid who scored the goal was a little dazed.

This is the kid with the celebratory choice phobia.

He remembered what his former teammate Fareko told him: When you don't know how to celebrate, just smile, your mother, your family will be happy when they see your smile.

Then, Sadio Mane, a seventeen-year-old young man who was surrounded by his teammates to celebrate, grinned and looked a little silly.

In front of the TV, a black woman was wiping tears. Around her, relatives and friends congratulated her and praised her for having an amazing son.

"Sadio Mane! This is the first Premier League goal he scored on behalf of Aston Villa! This seventeen-year-old young man scored a key goal!"! John Mortensen said in the commentary booth.

"Yes! A very crucial, very important goal. I want to praise this kid. From receiving the ball, to dribbling the ball all the way, getting rid of the entanglement of the defender, to passing the goalkeeper, and shooting. His performance is so perfect that it is incredible. Picky!"

"Let's see, someone must be very proud." Mortensen said with a smile.

On the sidelines, Fang Jue put his hands on his hips, laughing loudly, with an extremely smug expression on his face, which drove him crazy.

"This goal will make the young Mane the darling of the media after the game, and it will also make his coach extremely proud and proud."

...

A few minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

"The game is over! Aston Villa finally relied on Mane's goal at the last moment to completely kill the game. They defeated Wigan Athletic 3-1 away!"

"This is Aston Villa's thirteenth Premier League victory this season. Fang Jue's team continues to win. They are the biggest surprise of the Premier League this season."

"Ashley Young's departure made Aston Villa fans worry. Fang Jue's hand-picked Mane told everyone with a goal that the coach was optimistic about him. It was the right choice. At least, from this game, everything was wonderful. .”

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the DW stadium boos loudly.

Only the people of Aston Villa were celebrating victory excitedly.

"With the victory of this game, Aston Villa's points have reached 45 points, and their ranking and points have surpassed Manchester United. In addition, they have tied Chelsea in points, and because of the relationship between victory and defeat, they have become The new league leaders."

"However, Chelsea's game, Manchester United's game, and Arsenal's game will be played tomorrow. Aston Villa's top spot may be lost in a few days, and the winning Manchester United will also overtake. But, at least , in the next 24 hours, Aston Villa is the leader of the Premier League!"

On the court, Mane became the focus of everyone.

Everyone gathered around to congratulate him on his first league goal.

He saw Fang Jue coming up too.

"Congratulations, Sadio." Fang Jue hugged Mane, and patted the little guy on the shoulder, "I said a long time ago, you can do it! Believe in yourself!"

Mane nodded vigorously.

...

At this time, assistant coach Ceballos came over with a mobile phone.

"Here you are!" Fang Jue took the phone and handed it to Mane.

"What?" The little guy was a little confused.

"Your phone number." Fang Jue said with a smile, "It's your mother."

Mane's eyes widened, shining brightly.

"Sadio, is that you? My child."

"It's me, it's me, mom, mom, did you watch the game? My goal, I scored."

"I saw it, I saw it." In a small village three thousand miles away, in a brand-new building, when my mother wiped her tears, she glanced at the family members who were excitedly cheering and celebrating, "Everyone watched the game and was very happy."

"Mom, are you happy?"

"happy happy."

"Did Mom receive the New Year's gift I sent back?"

"I received it. Mom likes it very much." Mane's mother stroked a photo album, which contained photos of Mane. He asked his teammates to help take pictures, "This is the best gift."

"I watched TV and said that it's going to snow in England, so you have to be careful not to catch a cold."

"Does any little girl like our Sadio?"

Fang Jue stood not far away, watching the scene quietly, with a smile on his face...

...

In the post-match press conference, Wigan Athletic's Belgian coach Martinez was full of praise for Aston Villa youngster Sadio Mane.

He admitted that Mane's goal was what really killed the game. Before this goal, Wigan Athletic had hope of tying the score.

Martinez does not admit that his team did not perform well, but that they are a little less lucky.

Fang Jue agreed with this, and he emphasized that it is difficult for relegation teams to play.

Fang Jue said that against Wigan Athletic twice this season, Aston Villa only relied on an own goal from the opponent to win the first round. It was not easy to win this time, which shows the excellence of Wigan Athletic.

However, when the topic changed, Fang Jue said that it was precisely because Wigan Athletic played very tenaciously and the game was very difficult, which made it more difficult to win the game.

"I want to applaud my players."

"They did a great job."

Fang Jue said so.

He praised his players, and even took the trouble to name and praise almost every player.

He emphasized that winning is the effort of the whole team.

Of course, there are also key compliments.

Fang Jue focused on the Portuguese player Quaresma.

"Ricciardo played phenomenally."

"He has the ability, I always thought so."

"Today, I want to applaud him."

In today's game, Aston Villa's three goals all came from the assists of Quaresma. In the case of Deisler's injury, the Portuguese player performed very well.

As for Mane, Fang Jue only said a few words during the roll call, and did not praise him individually.

Fang Jue's purpose is to let the media focus on Quaresma instead of hyping Mane too much.

Previously, Fang Jue praised Mane in order to give the kid confidence.

Now that Mane has scored, there is nothing like scoring a confidence boost.

In this case, Fang Jue began to consider reducing pressure for Mane, he wanted to protect Mane.

Just like Bell also scored a goal and performed well today, Fang Jue did not praise Bell alone.

He doesn't want the media to hype the young people under him too much.

As for Quaresma, the Portuguese has experienced the journey of becoming famous at a young age-transfer to a wealthy family-returning to his hometown frustrated-the rise of his hometown-re-entering a wealthy family-frustration again-and then coming to Aston Villa.

Quaresma, who is only 26 years old, has experienced ups and downs in his career that many people can't imagine.

What Quaresma now needs is attention and praise. Such a player needs high-spirited emotions.

Therefore, Fang Jue is not worried that Quaresma will be praised by the media.

...

Although Fang Jue intends to divert the media' firepower to Quaresma, he still underestimated the media's attention to Mane.

Fang Jue's efforts failed. He couldn't stop the media from hyping Mane after the game.

The reason for the media frenzy is simple.

Mane set a new record for Aston Villa's youngest goal in the Premier League.

Seventeen years and two hundred and seventy-four days!

This is the age when Mane scored against Wigan Athletic, and it is also the youngest player in Aston Villa's Premier League history.

And even if you look at the entire Premier League history, Mane was able to rank seventh in the Premier League's youngest scoring record.

In front of him are:

Macheda, when he represented Manchester United against Aston Villa in China in 2009, was only 17 years and 226 days old.

Going forward, there is Michael Owen, who was only 17 years and 143 days old when he broke the Wimbledon goal in a Liverpool jersey on May 6, 1997.

And Cesc Fabregas, who was only 17 years and 113 days old when he scored against Blackburn on 27 August 2004 in an Arsenal shirt.

Then there is Rooney, Lu Xiaopang's battle of fame. On January 19, 2002, he broke the goal of Arsenal and broke Arsenal's 30 unbeaten games. Rooney became famous in the first battle. He was only 16 years old and 360 days old. .

Going forward, there is also Mane's current teammate Milner. Milner, who had just been promoted from the youth team to the first team of Leeds United, was only 16 years old when he scored Sunderland's goal on December 26, 2002. sky.

Among these players, Owen, Rooney and Fabregas are all offensive players in the true sense.

Looking at the names of these three players, you can see why the media is so crazy about Mane.

These geniuses who can rank among the youngest scoring records in the Premier League have a very high success rate in the future!

...

The day after the game, the headlines of every newspaper were dedicated to Sadio Mane.

This Aston Villa rookie, who could only be said to be a little famous before, has really become famous in the first battle.

Aston Villa is a traditional powerhouse in the Premier League, and the Premier League is the most successful league in commercial promotion in the world.

Mane's goal had a greater impact than his first goal in Ibiza.

Inside Senegal, where the country's national television covered the event even on the most official news programmes, the young Mane became a role model for many Senegalese children.

When the media praised Mane, they also mentioned a few words by the way, and praised Fang Jue for still having such a magical eye for seeing people.

On the night of the second day, Aston Villa received good news one after another.

In other games played a day later, there were upsets:

First, Arsenal played against Everton at home. Arsenal led 2-0, but Everton pulled two goals in a row. In the end, the two sides drew 2-2.

Then came Manchester United. The Red Devils were tied 1-1 by Birmingham in the away game. Aston Villa's rivals in the same city helped stop Manchester United at a critical moment.

The biggest good news came, Chelsea was tied 1-1 by Hull City in the away game!

Among the top four teams in the league, except for Aston Villa who won the game, the other three teams were all tied by their opponents and broke the upset.

The media was also stunned, calling Aston Villa lucky.

In this case, after the 20th round of the league, Aston Villa seized the golden opportunity:

Chelsea ranked first with 46 points;

Aston Villa ranked second with 45 points;

Manchester United has 44 points, ranking third;

Arsenal have 42 points, ranking fourth.

The difference between the fourth place and the first place in the league is only four points. The four teams are chasing points so closely that the media exclaimed it is rare in recent years.

"The Times" reporter Duncan Castur asked a question in his column after this round of the league:

Do Aston Villa have a chance of winning the Premier League title? !

This is the first time the mainstream media in England has raised the issue in the most formal way possible.

Aston Villa crowned Premier League champions?

Aston Villa is a traditional Premier League team. The role of each season is to be outstanding at the beginning of the season, sluggish in the middle and late seasons, and be a spoiler.

win?

Do not make jokes!

If it was in the past, when people heard this question, their first reaction would be like this.

Now, however, the situation is a little more subtle.

It's the 20th round of the league, and Aston Villa is second, only one point behind Chelsea, one point ahead of Manchester United, and three points ahead of Arsenal!

After thinking about it carefully, many people were amazed, and at the same time felt a little nervous:

It seems that it is not completely impossible... ah.

Suddenly, the topic of whether Aston Villa has a chance to win the Premier League championship has become a hot topic.

That night, Fang Jue received a call.

"Why did you remember to call me?" Fang Jue was surprised and happy when he received a call from Ronaldinho. He said half-jokingly, "Did you decide to come to my team? Hahaha."
