Chapter 801 The Magic Flute That Worry About Gains and Losses (Seeking Monthly Subscription Pass)
Aston Villa stunned the media with an 8-2 thrashing of Olympiacos.
In another matchup in the same group, the Ligue 1 giants Marseille swept Klopp's Dortmund 3-0 at home, which also shocked many people.
Borussia Dortmund was last season's Bundesliga champion, and many German media believe that they will continue the miracle of Schalke 04 last season.
Before the start of the UEFA Champions League group stage, the media generally believed that Aston Villa would undoubtedly get the top spot in this group, and another qualifying spot was most likely to be produced between Dortmund and Marseille.
And as Dortmund, which broke the dominance of Bayern Munich and won the Bundesliga championship last season, has a greater chance of qualifying than Marseille.
As for Olympiacos, it would be nice to be able to compete for a qualification for the third place in the Europa League.
No one expected that after Dortmund was taught by Aston Villa 1-4 in the first round of the group stage, they were swept by Marseille with three goals in the second game.
In fact, facing Marseille, Dortmund did not play badly, and it can even be said to have an advantage on the field. Experience has become a fatal injury to this team. If you lose, you will get zero points.
If it weren't for Olympiacos being beaten worse by Aston Villa in this round of the group stage, and conceding one more goal than Dortmund, Dortmund will continue to be at the bottom of the group.
Before the start of the group stage, some media said that Klopp's Dortmund was very similar to Fang Jue's Aston Villa.
It is said that Klopp is the Bundesliga's vision.
However, no one says that anymore.
In terms of lack of Champions League experience, Aston Villa returned to the Champions League after more than 20 years last season, which is even more lacking than Dortmund's Champions League experience.
However, Aston Villa exploded all the way from the group stage, and finally went all the way to the final, and even swept the 2009 Champions League champion Barcelona in the final, standing on the top of Europe.
Everything is afraid of comparison.
Even the German "Bild" bluntly said, "Klopp is still very immature, far worse than Coach Fang Jue." '
Dortmund's training base, in the head coach's office, Jurgen Klopp has a gloomy expression, holding a newspaper in his hand, which is the report from "Bild".
"Peter, tell the truth, am I really worse than Fang Jue?" Klopp asked his old partner Kravitz.
"No." Kravitz said, before Klopp showed a gratified smile, Klopp continued to say, "To be honest, you are far worse than him now."
Klopp: w(Д)w.
In a Birmingham pub, BBC5 sports are playing on the TV.
In the picture, Fang Jue, the head coach of Aston Villa, was furious after the game and roared at the referee Jonathan Moss who left the field in embarrassment. The background was the huge boos at Villa Park.
In this game, Aston Villa lost 1-2 at home to Wigan Athletic, which was a super upset. Aston Villa's unbeaten league games spanning three seasons also stayed at 69 games.
"Jonathan Moss, the focus of this round of the Premier League." In the TV screen, the anchor pointed to the photo of the referee Moss and said.
"It can be said that this gentleman has single-handedly created the most controversial game in this round of the Premier League, and it can even be said to be the most controversial game in the history of the Premier League. His several controversial penalties directly changed the result of the game. Put an abrupt end to Aston Villa's unbeaten run."
Everything was uneventful in the first half.
Suarez's goal helped Aston Villa take the lead early.
"In the 55 minutes of the game, the veteran Klose was brought down in the penalty area, and the referee refused to award a penalty kick. This laid the groundwork for Fang Jue's anger."
"In the 61st minute of the game, Wigan Athletic used a long-range shot to equalize the score. There is no problem with this goal."
"Five minutes later, Wigan Athletic succeeded again with a long-range shot and overtook the score. However, when this attack was launched, Wigan Athletic was suspected of fouling, and the referee Moss ignored it, which caused Aston Villa to complain. Very dissatisfied."
"The biggest controversy came. At the last moment of the game, Suarez scored a goal. The referee Moss signaled that he was offside first. The slow motion shows that this offside penalty is difficult to define."
"In stoppage time, Vardy, who came off the bench, entered the penalty area and fell in the collision with Van Aanholt. Unexpectedly, the referee Moss not only did not award a penalty kick, but also sentenced Vardy to dive and showed First yellow card and then a second yellow card to an emotional Vardy to send him off!"
Not only the BBC, but many sports TV stations around the world are discussing this game.
The general opinion is that Fang Jue's anger is understandable, and it is a pity that Aston Villa's desire to lose, and the unbeaten record spanning three seasons, have come to an end.
The headlines of the major media are also photos of Fang Jue roaring angrily.
...
In Fang Jue's luxurious villa.
He is playing a football game with his children.
The football is a small size specially customized by Nike.
Grandpa and I had a great time playing.
On Fang Jue's face, the angry and murderous expression on the TV screen could no longer be seen.
After playing for a long time, the little guy was also tired, so Papa took his son away.
Fang Jue drinks coffee with Leiberto.
This guy is now in Birmingham three or five days a month, and this guy who is an uncle even loves children more than Fang Jue.
"The loss to Wigan Athletic, in fact, you don't care, but you are very relaxed." Reberto said.
This is why Fang Jue 'dislikes' this guy more and more.
People don't tell the truth if they see it through, but this guy is good, he comes to tear things down every time.
In fact, as Fang Jue said, he was not that angry when he lost to Wigan Athletic and broke his undefeated golden body.
Already sixty-nine games unbeaten, not to mention whether it is enough, in fact, as the unbeaten games continue, the unbeaten record has become a shackle on the entire Aston Villa team.
The players are not only proud of the records they have created, but also have tremendous pressure. Worrying about losing and breaking their gold medal has become a psychological pressure for the players.
Fang Jue's original idea was to let nature take its course, and he was mentally prepared for losing.
There is no eternal invincible master in football.
Of course, if Fang Jue is willing, at all costs, Aston Villa can remain undefeated.
But no need.
Aston Villa, unbeaten in 69 games, has almost become the public enemy of the Premier League.
The further back, Aston Villa's resistance became stronger and stronger.
What Fang Jue needs to consider is when and how Aston Villa will lose, and take off this undefeated golden record that is becoming more and more unbearable for the team.
He wants to make sure that the loss will not affect the morale and smooth development of the team.
Fang Jue couldn't be more satisfied with losing the match against Wigan Athletic in such a way.
With the referee and the FA taking the blame, it took off the pressure of the undefeated golden body, but there was no need to worry too much about the morale damage of the whole team due to the loss.
Moreover, considering that the next round of the league will usher in a strong enemy Manchester City, Manchester City and Manchester United now have 19 points, and Manchester City is the league leader with its goal difference advantage.
Before such a focus duel comes, to unload the "burden" of the undefeated golden body and go into battle lightly, it can even be said to be "carrying grievances". We need to deliberately mobilize before the battle.
Get rid of Manchester City, move forward lightly, and continue to sprint to the championship.
Compared with the honor of the championship, the honor of undefeated record is more important than Fang Jue.
Although Fang Jue criticized the referee and scolded Moss so badly, he really wanted to say to the referee and the FA in his heart: Thank you.
Then, the next day, when Fang Jue was interviewed by the media, he once again fired at the referee's law enforcement and scolded him bloody.
"Aston Villa fought for the honor of the Premier League in the European war, but they were treated unfairly in the Premier League, which is chilling."
"The game against Manchester City, I hope we will be treated fairly." Fang Jue's expression was extremely sad and indignant.
...
After playing the seventh round of the Premier League, it was the FIFA match day, and the Premier League was temporarily suspended.
The game against Manchester City is two weeks away,
Almost all the players in Aston Villa's first team are international players of all levels from various countries and regions.
As the players temporarily left, the Villa training base became quiet.
The number of journalists 'resident' at Villa's training base is also much smaller.
However, on October 7, the "Guardian" reported a news.
Christopher Lee, chief architect of the renowned stadium construction company, was spotted at Villa's training ground.
The world-renowned stadium designer stayed at Villa's training base for at least two hours before quietly leaving.
"Aston Villa are building a new stadium!"
All of a sudden, news about Aston Villa building a new stadium spread rapidly.
This news immediately attracted more attention from the media and fans, especially the fans of Aston Villa, who became even more nervous.
Villa Park Stadium has a history of 114 years. This historic stadium is outdated, and many structures and facilities are not suitable for modern needs. This is a fact.
Some fans have also suggested that the team needs a more modern stadium.
Especially dominating the Premier League for two consecutive seasons and standing on top of Europe, this demand seems to be more urgent as Aston Villa's performance is getting better and better.
However, the fans have deep affection for this 'grandpa' level stadium.
They don't know the club's plans, if a new stadium is actually built, whether it will be on the original site or somewhere else.
From an emotional point of view, if the venue is changed, the fans will not be able to accept it.
In addition, the capital required to build a new modern large-scale stadium is huge.
Arsenal's Emirates Stadium cost £400 million.
In order to build this stadium, Arsenal had to bear huge debts and had to cut down on food and clothing, but any signings exceeding 10 million pounds was a big deal for Arsenal, and in terms of the loss of players, Arsenal sold the captain every year. , It made the fans heartbroken.
That's what Aston Villa fans are worried about too.
They don't want their beloved team to repeat the mistakes of Arsenal.
Aston Villa was quick to respond to fans' concerns via their official website.
Aston Villa Club officials stated that the club is indeed considering building a new stadium, not to find another place, but to renovate the original site of Villa Park Stadium.
It is only a preliminary intention at present, and the construction of the stadium is a very large plan, and the final decision will be made after all kinds of demonstrations are required.
Aston Villa would like to reassure fans that even if the stadium is finally decided to be built, funding issues will not become a shackle that plagues the development of the stadium.
"In the past two seasons, the club has been operating very well, and the club itself has a considerable financial surplus. In addition, the club's parent company, F&P, will also provide financial support for the club. Don't worry."
The good times are just beginning, don't worry.
...
Fang Jue received bad news.
Midfielder Luka Modric, who was injured against Queens Park Rangers, was injured more seriously than expected.
Originally, Aston Villa's medical team predicted that Modric would need a one-month truce.
Considering the influence of the suspension of the league brought by the national team match day, Modric returned in late October. In fact, after the FIFA match day, he only missed two league games and one Champions League game.
However, Dr. Osolalana told Fang Jue of the latest examination results that Modric may take about half a month longer than expected to recuperate, that is, it will be the first ten days of November at the earliest, and if it is later, it will be November. Can come back in the middle of the year.
Don't think it's just half an extra month of injury, but, considering the importance of Modric to Aston Villa, there is also the League Cup quarter-final against Arsenal in late October. The game, and the important game of the Champions League group stage as a guest in Marseille, the absence of Modric has a great impact on Aston Villa.
...
Karina Private Hospital in Birmingham, which is Aston Villa's designated cooperative hospital.
Modric was lying on the hospital bed.
The ward smelled of disinfectant.
The walls are white.
There was a bouquet of flowers on the corner of the table, which was already withered.
Modric has just finished a routine inspection.
A Mr. Bean pantomime was playing on TV, but Modric was in no mood to watch it.
At this moment, he was staring at the ceiling in a daze.
He was a little worried about his main position after injury.
Although he knew that he was coach Fang Jue's favorite general, Fang Jue specially dug him from Ibiza, Fang Jue also attached great importance to him.
However, Modric has a sense of crisis.
The match between the team and Olympiacos, Modric watched live on the TV in the ward.
In this game, Milner and Clement partnered in the midfielder, and Ronaldo played very successfully in the front.
Teammate James Rodriguez performed very well.
With one goal and three assists, the shy Colombian team-mate was the best outside of Bale in the win.
One and a half months to two months is not too long, and it is not too short.
Modric guessed that during his absence, his teammate Ronaldo would be reused.
After he recovers from his injury, can he regain his main position?
Modric is not worried about his own strength, but he knows too many stories about players who returned to the team after being injured but no longer had their main position.
If during the period of his injury, the club changed the lineup and style of play, and the results are very good, he does not think that after he recovers from injury, the head coach will quickly change back to the original tactics, which means that his The position of the main force is not guaranteed.
Just when Modric was worrying about gains and losses, there was a knock on the door of the ward.
"Come in," Modric said.
Then, he saw Fang Jue who was holding a bouquet of flowers and pushing the door in with a smile on his face.
"Boss?" Modric said in surprise.
He didn't expect the coach to have time to visit him. The club is very busy now. He knows about the club's construction of a new stadium. In addition, two days later it will be the focus of the match against the current league leader Manchester City. The coach is now the busiest time.
So, Modric was surprised, of course, after the surprise, it was joy.
