Chapter 809 The Big Three of the Golden Globe Awards

November 29.

English League Cup quarter-finals.

Aston Villa host Manchester City.

There is still some time before the start of the game, and the gate of the Villa Park stadium is already overcrowded.

Fans wearing burgundy Aston Villa jerseys and blue Manchester City jerseys were separated by police.

This season, Manchester City's momentum is quite good, and the team is currently chasing Aston Villa in the league.

If it weren't for Manchester City's loss in the previous direct meeting between the two sides in the league, Manchester City would be the leader now.

The Manchester City club has reached a consensus that if the team is to rise, the mountain of Aston Villa must be overturned.

Be sure to win Aston Villa once!

Whether it's in the Premier League or in the cup, you have to win once!

This has also intensified the current antagonism between the fans of the two sides.

Chewing gum in Ferguson's mouth, he 'appreciated' with great interest the mutual blessings between Aston Villa fans and Manchester City.

Both teams gave him a big headache.

Aston Villa have dominated the Premier League trophy for two years.

The strong rise of Manchester City in the past two seasons also made Ferguson and Manchester United very vigilant.

Beside Ferguson are his son Ferguson Jr. and younger brother Martin Ferguson.

Ferguson is the king of Manchester United and is respected by many fans all over the world.

However, the Scottish old man still has some criticisms on certain things.

Ferguson seems to be particularly affectionate. He especially likes to let his relatives and friends succeed by his side.

This may not be noticed at ordinary times, but as early as six or seven years ago, the media dug up these facts and made them public.

Perhaps it is the football talent inherited from the Ferguson family. Ferguson's younger brother Martin Ferguson is the head of all Manchester United scouts in Europe.

And when Ferguson needed an assistant coach in 2004, it went to his old friend Walter Smith.

Another old friend of the Ferguson family, McVeney, works for the "Sunday Times", which is always able to exclusively publish a few interviews with Ferguson.

In addition, some of the help Ferguson gave to his son Ferguson Jr. is more obvious, and it can even be said to be undisguised.

Just a month ago, the media broke the news that Jason Ferguson helped his father arrange Manchester United's pre-season warm-up match in the summer and earned 1.5 million pounds.

In addition, as Ferguson's agent, Ferguson Jr. also made a lot of money in his father's contract renewal negotiations and handling media matters.

Not only that, there have been rumors that Ferguson Jr. has been using his father's influence to sell jerseys signed by Manchester United players.

To be honest, this is really a bit too much.

Some players flatly refused, saying Ferguson had no right to do so, including David Beckham, who later left Manchester United.

In addition, some of the help Ferguson gave his son is not so easy to explain.

Former Manchester United players Greening and Wilson have accused Ferguson of threatening to sabotage their move to Middlesbrough in 2001, asking them to fire their original agent and hire his son instead.

The two said they ultimately chose to reject Ferguson's unreasonable demands.

Little Ferguson naturally denied this.

There has always been a rumor that Ferguson has been postponing his retirement, partly because of Ferguson Jr.'s opposition.

In English football, there is a saying that when Alex Ferguson, Martin Ferguson and Jason Ferguson appear together and act together, something big must happen.

The live TV footage quickly locked on Ferguson, his younger brother and son.

Even the commentator was talking about the purpose of the three members of the Ferguson family coming to Villa Park.

Of course, Ferguson is also likely to simply watch the game. After all, Aston Villa and Manchester City are Manchester United's current enemies.

In fact, Ferguson did come to watch the game.

To be precise, his purpose is to watch the ball.

As for the purpose of Martin Ferguson and Jason Ferguson, there is no way of knowing.

After the 120 minutes of the game, the Manchester City fans in the stands of Villa Park Stadium were cheering.

Aston Villa, which won the English League Cup for two consecutive seasons, was eliminated.

Manchester City advanced to the semi-finals of the League Cup.

In the eyes of Ferguson fans, this is indeed a very exciting and great game.

In the 120 minutes of the game, the two sides played three to three. The game was fierce and very enjoyable to watch.

Manchester City beat Aston Villa.

For this result, Ferguson is not very happy to see.

He hopes to progress to Aston Villa.

In this case, it has reached the semi-finals, and Aston Villa has no reason to give up the League Cup. For Manchester United, a multi-line Aston Villa is obviously in the interests of Manchester United.

"Cunning boy." Ferguson snorted.

Obviously, in this Manchester City game, Aston Villa made a lot of rotations.

This rotation itself reflects Aston Villa's attitude to a certain extent.

Having won the English League Cup for two consecutive seasons, Aston Villa's desire for the already tasteless League Cup trophy is getting weaker and weaker.

As the defending champions of the Premier League and Champions League, Aston Villa will have been targeted this season.

In addition, Aston Villa still has the Club World Cup to play, and it will be very hard to travel long distances back and forth.

Under such circumstances, Fang Jue made a very decisive decision to abandon the League Cup.

Aston Villa, which has rotated a lot of main players, fell behind three times in the game and equalized the score three times.

In the end, the two sides drew 3-3 within 120 minutes.

Then in the penalty shootout, Manchester City made all five free throws, and Aston Villa's side was Strowman who missed a penalty.

It was Manchester City who advanced to the semi-finals.

Manchester City fans are very happy.

On Aston Villa's side, the fans also applauded the players for their comeback.

Having won two League Cups in a row, Aston Villa fans have already 'no feeling' for this cup championship. If you are out, you will be out. It is a good thing that the team can focus more on the league and the Champions League.

Moreover, Aston Villa used a semi-substitute lineup to challenge Manchester City, which played with all the main players, to be able to persist until the penalty shootout, which is not easy.

...

Back in Manchester, Ferguson convened the coaching staff to watch the video of the match between Aston Villa and Manchester City.

"What do you think of this game?" Ferguson asked.

"James Rodriguez is in great shape, he is a key player," someone said.

In today's game, Bell took turns to rest, Modric was injured, and Hamei became Aston Villa's midfield commander.

The Colombian has been getting better and better at Aston Villa.

"In addition to Ronaldo, there are many players who did not play in this game, Suarez, Bale, Mane... Aston Villa is now very strong." Mike Phelan said.

Ferguson waved his hand, meaning don't talk about this, don't I know who is more threatening in the Aston Villa team?

"Tell me about Vera's weakness in your opinion."

"De Gea's state is unstable, and young people sometimes make mistakes that shouldn't be made. Therefore, we don't need to worry about being robbed of De Gea by Aston Villa in the summer."

It was Ferran who spoke.

Ferguson glanced at Phelan, shut up if you can't speak.

Two days later, in the fourteenth round of the Premier League, Aston Villa defeated Bolton 3-1 away.

Suarez, who had a break in the last round, passed and shot.

Mane scored twice.

The biggest feature of this round of the Premier League is that the strong teams have won smoothly, and there are no upsets.

Also on the second day after the end of the game, FIFA and "French Football" held a press conference in Paris, the headquarters of L'Equipe magazine.

FIFA Secretary-General Walker, General Manager of "French Football" magazine Molinier, and Managing Director of "L'Equipe" Petit French women's football team star Sinni attended the press conference.

The top three winners of the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or were announced at the press conference:

Real Madrid's Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, Barcelona's Argentine star Messi, and Aston Villa's Welsh star Gareth Bale.

In fact, there is not much suspense for these three players to be shortlisted.

The media in Madrid are cheering for Ronaldo.

The Portuguese won the La Liga top scorer in the 10-11 season, broke the number of goals scored in a single season in La Liga, and won the European Golden Boot.

In 2011, Ronaldo scored 49 goals for Real Madrid. This season, Real Madrid is popular in La Liga and the Champions League. Ronaldo scored 20 goals.

The Portuguese lost the top three of last year's FIFA Ballon d'Or. This year, he definitely wants to come back strongly with his outstanding performance.

On the other side of Barcelona, ​​it is the two mouthpieces of Catalonia that promote Messi:

In 2011, Messi scored 53 goals in 54 official games for Barcelona, ​​and won the La Liga championship and Spanish Super Cup championship in 2011.

In terms of personal honors, Messi won the title of best player of the season issued by La Liga official and "Marca".

As the winner of the 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or, Messi has a high popularity and is favored by many judges.

As for Bell, the English League Cup champion, the Premier League champion, and the Champions League champion, the Welsh teenager has already defeated Melo before and won the UEFA Best of the Year. This time he will fight Messi and Ronaldo again. attention.

also.

FIFA and "French Football" also announced the candidates for the Puskas Award: Messi, Neymar and Rooney, three of whom will compete for the best goal of the year.

The 3 candidates for the best coach of the year are also released, Ferguson, Guardiola, Fang Jue.

Marta of the Brazilian team, Hoki Sawa of the Japanese team, and Wambach of the US team are the three candidates for the Women's Ballon d'Or.

After announcing the final three candidates, FIFA will announce the final result of the FIFA Ballon d'Or at the awards ceremony at the FIFA Headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland on January 9, 2012.

...

Vera training base.

The old janitor has a Labrador puppy.

Milner brought the puppy over.

The players watched nervously.

In front of the Labrador puppy are three dinner plates with the names of Ronaldo, Messi and Bale written on them.

"Choose Gareth!" someone yelled.

"Don't yell, you're scaring the puppy."

Then, everyone saw that the Labrador puppy passed slowly.

First, I sniffed the dinner plate with Ronaldo's name on it.

Just when everyone thought he would choose President Luo, he turned his head away and sniffed the dinner plate with Messi's name written on it.

Finally, smell the dinner plate with Bell's name on it.

But none of the three had a choice.

Gouzi would be stunned, and then ran to another larger dinner plate next to him, feasting on it.

This larger dinner plate has the name of the team's head coach Fang Jue written on it.

"Wow, smart guy." A player shouted, this dog is awesome.

"This is a bitch." Greno picked up the dog, turned over, and glanced at it.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, but couldn't help laughing.

...

December 6th.

The final round of Group F of the UEFA Champions League.

Aston Villa host Greek giants Olympiakos away.

Aston Villa, which has already qualified ahead of schedule and has already secured the first place in the group, used a large number of substitute players and young players in this game.

In the end, Aston Villa was tied 1-1 by Olympiakos in the away game.

In this way, after six games in the group stage, Aston Villa had five wins and one tie, accumulating 16 points and advancing to the top 16 of the Champions League relatively easily.

After playing the final round of the Champions League group stage with Olympiakos, Aston Villa will usher in a focus match in the fifteenth round of the Premier League on the weekend.

Aston Villa will face Manchester United away.

Currently in the Premier League standings, Aston Villa ranks first with 37 points.

Manchester City are in second place with 35 points.

Manchester United are third with 33 points.

The point difference between Manchester United and Aston Villa is very small, so such a direct confrontation is crucial for both Aston Villa and Manchester United.

Moreover, for Manchester United, the most realistic situation is that the Premier League title is their last thought.

Yes, in the UEFA Champions League group stage, Manchester United was eliminated in the group stage.

This is indeed a situation that shocked and surprised many people.

You know, Group C, where Manchester United is located, can be said to be the easiest group.

Manchester United's opponents are Benfica, Basel and Galati Steel.

At that time, as soon as the draw results came out, the Manchester media were all saying that Manchester United had drawn a good lottery.

No one expected that Manchester United would be eliminated from this group.

Fang Jue was also surprised by Manchester United's exit from the Champions League group stage.

He also pays attention.

Fang Jue carefully studied the poor performance of Manchester United, and then he noticed a player.

Ask for a monthly pass, thank you.
