Chapter 692 2011 Winter Transfer ③ (Ask for a Monthly Ticket)
January 20.
Vera training base.
"Mr. Fang Jue."
"Coach Fang Jue."
As soon as Fang Jue arrived at the training base, he was surrounded by waiting reporters.
"Coach Fang Jue, we have received news that Diego Costa has submitted a transfer application to the club." Sky TV reporter asked loudly excitedly.
Fang Jue shook his head very firmly, "Nothing, Costa likes here very much, and the team is very happy to have Costa."
Seeing that Fang Jue did not admit it, the reporter asked another related question, "Liverpool is chasing Costa, is there such a thing?"
"Liverpool, you have to ask Mr. Dalglish, I don't know their signing plan."
Fang Jue's answer was not cooperative at all. The reporter didn't give up, and rolled his eyes, "It is reported that Costa's agent, Mr. Mendes, is very dissatisfied with you and said that he will take Costa away from Villa. Will not do business with Vera in the future."
This reporter is obviously exaggerating. Mendes did speak out about Costa's situation in Aston Villa, but the agent just praised his players, saying that Costa is a player that all coaches like.
If it were another party, they might be fooled.
Fang Jue stopped at the second sentence and was taken aback, thinking that something had been exposed.
When he heard everything, his mood became quite stable and flat.
"I don't think Mr. Mendez would say something like that, our relationship is very good." Fang Jue said, he paused, "Very good, so please don't say some irresponsible rumors on this kind of thing. "
Fang Jue originally thought that the reporter would feel ashamed and lose.
He still underestimated the thickness of these people's skins.
"Let's not talk about Costa." The reporter asked, "Let's talk about tomorrow's game against Arsenal, Mr. Fang Jue."
This is probably your ultimate goal.
Fang Jue understands that Costa's transfer rumors are just rumors and have not been confirmed. Both clubs keep it secret.
In normal times, there will be three waves without wind, and the reporters will definitely hold on to this issue. However, because of the particularity of tomorrow's game, in fact, the real goal of these reporters is to get Fang Jue to start talking about tomorrow's game against Arsenal.
"Tomorrow's game is just an ordinary game, there is nothing to say." Fang Jue shook his head.
"Aston Villa will not lose at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow, tying Arsenal's 49-match unbeaten record." Regardless of what Fang Jue said, the important thing is that they want to guide Fang Jue to say, "Then Arsenal is considered to be the most beautiful team in the Premier League in the past ten years, and there are voices saying that Aston Villa's football is not as good as that of Arsenal back then."
Fang Jue shook his head: "Arsenal is Arsenal, Aston Villa is Aston Villa. The only thing we have in common is that we both love football very much and are eager to bring joy to the fans with victory."
Seeing Fang Jue 'passing' so easily, the disappointed reporter asked another related question: "If Aston Villa loses at the Emirates Stadium, they are only one step away from the unbeaten record of 49 games..."
"I will also give you what I said to my players, Mr. Reporter." Fang Jue looked serious.
"We're not playing to tie or set any records."
"I believe this is the simplest relationship. Players work hard, love football, love this job, earn a salary, make their lives better, and fans also get happiness from wonderful games and victories."
"This is the purest football, so tomorrow's game is just one of the 38 league games in a season. The team is chasing victory, hoping for a wonderful game, and hoping that the fans are satisfied, that's all."
The reporters, who were serious and eloquent, were all stunned.
This guy is really difficult to deal with.
Are Chinese people so eloquent?
"The coach didn't say that to us." During lunch at the training base, the players watched the news while eating in the cafeteria.
I happened to see what Fang Jue said when he was surrounded by reporters for an interview in the morning.
"Guys, remember, there is only one requirement for me in this game, and that is to win!" Clement imitated Fang Jue's voice and tone, stood up and said, patting the table.
"Don't just think about a draw. Remember, the idea of securing a draw to win is a trick. As long as you have this idea, the result will often be very bad."
"So, victory is my only request!"
"As for the undefeated record, everyone is discussing it, and I will also say a few words."
"Arsenal are 49 games unbeaten."
"This game, we happen to meet Arsenal, which is very interesting."
"But remember, if we lose, it's all shit, no one will remember who the 48-game unbeaten record is, they will only remember that Arsenal beat a hapless guy who might set the record, Arsenal are the heroes, the hapless one? Who remembers?"
Clement shrugged, spread his hands, raised his face, and looked at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, with a hanging look.
The teammates slapped the table, whistled, and laughed so hard that they couldn't laugh.
In the lively atmosphere, Costa was a little silent.
He likes this environment. Here, he was very happy and won the championship with the team.
But now facing the situation of leaving, I feel more or less uncomfortable.
Of course, this does not mean that Costa changed his mind and wanted to stay.
Like here, it has nothing to do with him leaving.
In Costa's view, the coach likes to recruit veterans too much. It is strange to say that the veterans whose careers have declined, in Fang Jue's hands, have changed their careers for a second time.
Of course, this is not good news for a young man like Costa, which makes it difficult for a young man like him to get ahead.
Fang Jue said that the future of the team belongs to Costa, and he will be the main striker of the team in the future.
Costa did not suspect that Fang Jue lied to him.
However, he couldn't wait any longer.
Liverpool has just sold Torres and is in need of a main striker. After Costa goes, he can be entrusted with reuse, which is what Costa likes the most.
...
"Actually, you can talk to Costa again." Leiberto, who returned from vacation on the Antarctic Glacier Continent, said while eating skewers and crossing his legs.
"Shevchenko and Villa have a one-year contract plus priority renewal rights. However, referring to Van Nistelrooy's example last year, I think the Ukrainian will leave after the end of the season."
"And Ronaldo, don't think I don't know, this fat man's biggest dream is to win a European Champions Cup trophy, that's why he has such an incredible 'self-discipline' at Villa, believe it or not, won the Champions League this season, Ronaldo will definitely run away, and he will definitely return to Brazil to retire."
"So, actually, at the end of the season, it's likely that Aston Villa will only have Albanlahor as a real striker."
Leiberto threw away the skewers, drank a big gulp of warm rice wine, sighed comfortably, and pointed at Fang Jue:
"You are smarter than a monkey. I don't believe you can't think of this. After Costa submitted his transfer application, there is only one reason why you didn't persuade Costa to stay in the first place—"
"You're looking at the money Liverpool are making."
"You have red eyes."
"You're jealous of Liverpool."
"You think that the transfer fee that Costa got in exchange will allow Villa to use the money to make more money, so you have become the kind of person who has no conscience."
"Bah, the *dog capitalist!"
