"How do you feel?" Fang Jue asked Modric.
"It feels too uncomfortable to stay in the hospital." Modric complained and said "statement", "I can't wait to go back to the stadium tomorrow."
"Hahaha." Fang Jue laughed loudly and said, "I also hope that you can recover from injury immediately."
As he said that, he patted Modric on the shoulder, "Don't think about anything now, rest at ease, the team needs a very healthy Modric."
Seeing that Modric was about to speak, the side signaled him not to speak yet, but to listen to himself.
"I know you are in a hurry, but your task is to rest in peace and recuperate until you fully recover and return to the court in the healthiest state of your body."
"I know what you're worried about, Luka." Fang Jue said sincerely, "I can tell you very clearly that your worries are unnecessary."
"You are a player I am very optimistic about and like. In Aston Villa's team building plan, you are very important, even more important than you can imagine."
"So, relax and heal your injuries." Fang Jue said with a smile, "This is only your first season at Villa. In the next five years, or even ten years, you will be here and become this city. One of the flag stars of this team."
"We will create a great era together." Fang Jue stretched out his right hand.
Modric was moved, he shook hands with the head coach, "Boss, I understand, don't worry, you will see a better Modric then!"
"I'm looking forward to it." Fang Jue laughed.
After Fang Jue said goodbye and left, Modric relaxed and was in a very good mood.
"Honey, I'm relieved to see that you're doing well today." Vania Bosniqi came in and said happily when she saw that her husband was in a good mood.
Vanja Bosniqi is the wife of Modric.
The two met in 2007. At that time, Luka Modric was still playing for Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia, while Vania Bosniqi was working for Mamic Sports Agency at the time. Above is an ordinary white-collar worker.
Since Mamic Sports Agency has business in Croatia, and Luka Modric happened to be a client of this company at the time, the two began to contact because of their work, and then with the increase in contact, they began to have a good impression of each other, and finally fell in love. love river.
After the two dated for about a year, in 2008, Luka Modric transferred from Dinamo Zagreb in China to the newly promoted polo team Ibiza in La Liga.
In order to support Luka Modric's career decision, Vania Bosniqi quit her job at Mamic Sports Agency and followed Modric to Ibiza.
After Luka Modric gained a firm foothold in Europe, in May 2010, Vania Bosniqi and Luka Modric officially entered the marriage hall.
After the wedding, she officially became Modric's personal agent.
Last winter, Fang Jue invited Modric to come to Aston Villa for a reunion. Persia Niqi also strongly supported her. As her husband's agent, she personally handled every detail of Luka Modric's contract.
Moreover, this woman has a high emotional intelligence. Vera supports her husband's work and career, and actively moves closer to Papa. Now she is close to breaking into Papa's best friend group.
"Thank you, Papa." Fang Jue returned home and thanked Papa.
If it weren't for Papa's reminder, he would have forgotten to pay attention to Modric's mental state in the hospital for a while.
Papa pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Modric has a good wife."
Yes, it was Persian Ni Qi who accidentally revealed her husband's mentality of worrying about gains and losses when shopping and chatting with Papa.
After Papa came back, he talked to Fang Jue, and then Fang Jue went to visit Modric in the hospital.
Fang Jue nodded, "This kid is blessed to have a good wife."
Said, Fang Jue kissed Papa, "Of course, I am the happiest, and my good wife is the best."
Papa gave Fang Jue a blank look, and naturally felt very useful.
...
October 10, Manchester, Etihad Stadium.
In the eighth round of the Premier League, Aston Villa played away against Manchester City.
This is one of the two focus matches of this round of the Premier League.
One of them was Liverpool's double-red game against Manchester United at Anfield Stadium.
Another game is the strong dialogue between Aston Villa and Manchester City away.
Yes, the match between Aston Villa and Manchester City can already be called a genuine strong dialogue.
Before this round of the game, on the Premier League standings, both Manchester City and Manchester United had six wins and one tie with 19 points. Manchester City ranked first with the advantage of goal difference.
The defending Premier League champion Aston Villa has five wins, one draw and one loss with 16 points, three points behind Manchester United, ranking third in the league.
This is the first time in more than a year that Aston Villa is not the leader of the league against the top four opponents in the league.
In the Community Shield before the start of the season, Aston Villa defeated Manchester City 5-3 and won the Community Shield.
However, Manchester City caused a lot of trouble for Aston Villa in that game, which was impressive.
After the start of the subsequent new season, Manchester City's record of six wins and one tie attracted the shock and admiration of the media and fans.
Before the game, the media was saying that this was a real match between Mars and Earth.
Aston Villa, who are good at developing their own players, faced Manchester City, a local tycoon wielding a checkbook. This is a collision of two forces.
Manchester City continues to poach people to strengthen their strength, and now there are faint signs of rapid rise.
In addition to Manchester United and Chelsea, Manchester City is currently the most likely to break the hegemony of Aston Villa in the Premier League.
The media in Birmingham also specifically reminded Aston Villa to be careful of Manchester City.
Fang Jue does not need the media to remind himself, he can be said to be the first one to feel and confirm that Manchester City may pose a threat to his side.
In the pre-war mobilization before the game.
Fang Jue once again mentioned the team's 1-2 loss to Wigan Athletic.
"Obviously, our strength scares our opponents."
"They were afraid that we would continue to win, so we lost."
"Now, many people are saying that Manchester City is going to rise."
"The media is also optimistic about Manchester City beating us in today's game."
"In fact, do those media really think that our defeated team has the strength to challenge us?"
"of course not!"
"But, that's what they say, because they're afraid of us!"
"Kings are feared and hostile!"
"I hope everyone will use their actions to tell our opponents, the Premier League, and the whole world in this game that nothing can stop us from continuing to dominate the Premier League!"
"Nothing can stop us from building our own era!"
Aston Villa encountered a serious injury crisis in this game.
Modric is out injured.
Abanglaho is injured while playing for England.
Vardy was suspended due to a red card in the previous game.
German veteran Miroslav Klose caught a cold before the game.
Aston Villa has encountered a serious striker employment crisis.
The situation is so dire.
Fang Jue finally chose the trident combination of Bell, Suarez and Mane, and did not arrange for Bendtner and Suarez to partner with double forwards.
Such an arrangement, Bendtner is obviously not happy.
Sitting on the bench, the confident Danish kid was expressionless.
Fang Jue was very careful about the use of Bendtner, even though the kid's temper has been restrained a lot after some training.
However, Fang Jue still used it carefully.
...
"Aston Villa played away against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. The third place in the league and the first place in the league collided. This is the well-deserved number one drama of this round of the Premier League..." The game has just started, Howe and Zhang Lu The commentary partner of CCTV Sports Channel is introducing the starting rosters of both sides to the audience and fans.
Aston Villa's starting goalkeeper is De Gea.
"Guiding Fang Jue has begun to use the young De Gea more frequently."
The central defender combination is Senderos and Papastathopoulos.
Left back is Danny Rose.
Right back is Kyle Walker.
In the midfield, Clement and Milner partnered as double midfielders.
Behind the trident of Bale, Suarez and Mane is Ronaldo.
"Aston Villa has encountered a serious injury crisis. This should be the strongest lineup that Fang Jue can arrange."
Manchester City's starting goalkeeper is England goalkeeper Joe Hart.
"Joe Hart is still starting. This may be a hidden danger for Manchester City. In Manchester City's 3-5 loss to Aston Villa in the Community Shield, Joe Hart's performance was a bit bad."
At centre-back was Kompany and Lescott.
The left back is Gael Clichy.
Right back is Richards.
The midfielders are De Jong, Gareth Barry, Yaya Toure and Nasri.
Up front is the combination of Balotelli and Aguero.
"Compared to Aston Villa's injury crisis, Manchester City's bench is more abundant, Dzeko, Quaresma, David Silva, Kolarov and Hargreaves are all waiting. Life."
...
Both teams are very aware of the importance of this game. In terms of points, this is a direct match worth six points in the championship journey.
At the same time, the result of this game also has a great impact on the morale of the two teams.
Fortunately for Aston Villa, they have the psychological advantage of winning against Manchester City.
For Manchester City, if they want to win the Premier League, there is no doubt that defeating Aston Villa will have a great catalytic effect on improving the momentum of this team.
Therefore, after the game started, it was very intense.
The two teams fought fiercely for possession of the ball in midfield.
In particular, the combination of Clement and Milner's double midfielders on Aston Villa's side collided head-to-head with the combination of De Jong, Gareth Barry and Yaya Toure on Manchester City's side.
In addition, Hamei-Bell-Suarez-Mane's frontcourt quartet VS Nasri-Balotelli-Aguero.
The contest between these two top midfielders.
The Manchester City team at home has made a fantastic start.
In a tactical corner kick, after receiving a pass from Nasri, Aguero took a long shot from the top of the penalty area and volleyed from a close corner to score.
"Goooooooooaaaal!"
Huge cheers erupted from the Etihad Stadium.
The commentators also praised Aguero.
Argentina is known for its abundance of strikers. Although the young Aguero is not tall (173cm), he does not belong to the traditional strong center player.
But what he lacks in size he makes up for with good footwork and ball handling.
"This is the characteristic of Aguero. Aguero likes to cut in and hit the goal. He is good at threatening the opponent's goal through indirect free kicks made by his teammates. He can help the team from multiple offensive dimensions." Lineker told Aguero Guiro was full of praise.
Fang Jue shook his head and looked at the field. He was a little greedy for Aguero.
When Fang Jue was still on the beach in Ibiza, he was engaged in the dissemination of the United Nations intangible cultural heritage ambassador, Atletico Madrid spent more than 20 million euros to introduce Aguero.
Since then, Aguero's worth has continued to rise.
However, the reason why Fang Jue did not start to introduce Aguero is very simple: it is too expensive.
Manchester City spent 40 million euros to introduce Aguero. This is after defeating several giants. If Aston Villa also participates in the competition, Manchester City will definitely continue to increase their offer.
The reason why those giants who were defeated by Manchester City's offer no longer continue to offer is that they know that Manchester City, which is not short of money, can't fight.
Although this is only the first season after joining Manchester City, the Argentine striker has won the love of Manchester City fans with his outstanding performance.
As an aside, Atletico Madrid is indeed very good at discovering and cultivating strikers.
Fortunately, Fang Jue doesn't need to be too envious of Manchester City.
Fang Jue has his proud disciple.
Before the end of the first half, Bell passed Richards and Nasri consecutively on the wing, and made a cross with a curve ball.
Joe Hart made a misjudgment and failed to catch the football.
Suarez squeezed Lescott away from the back point and scored a header.
One to one.
Aston Villa leveled the score.
Fang Jue was quite satisfied with the performance of the players in the first half of the game.
He particularly praised Clement and Milner's midfield partnership.
Under the midfield sweeper composed of the two of them, Manchester City's offensive in the first half of the game was fierce, but there were not many truly threatening scoring opportunities.
However, not long after the start of the second half, Manchester City took the lead again.
This time it was Nasri who scored the goal.
Nasri's goal came from an assist from Aguero.
Lineker seems to have become a fan of Aguero, praising the Argentine player non-stop.
Fang Jue frowned, Aguero was indeed very difficult.
This goal also reflects another ability and characteristic of Aguero.
With the ball in hand, he can attract the defense with short possessions and then create opportunities for his teammates.
And after he passes the ball to his teammates, he will start immediately, quickly occupy the space that he and his teammates pull each other, and look for more shooting opportunities through active running positions.
Aguero's flexibility has created more possibilities for Manchester City's offense, which is one of the reasons why Manchester City's offensive efficiency is extremely high since the start of this season.
