To be exact, several Basel players caught Fang Jue's attention.
The Ruichao giant Basel is not well-known in continental Europe, but those who are familiar with this team appreciate the club's youth training level.
The reform of the Basel youth training camp dates back to 1999, when a lady named Gisela Ollie (she and her husband were the heirs of a famous pharmaceutical company) was recruited by a Swiss businessman and the then chairman of Basel René Jggi invites to watch Basel vs Grasshoppers Zurich.
Also in this year, her husband Andreas Oeri (Andreas Oeri) agreed to take a stake in Basel. Just one year later, they became Basel's largest financial source.
In 2002, Ori became the new chairman of Basel.
Basel attaches great importance to the scouting system and youth training policy.
Ms. Oli first focused on the team's scouting system and youth training policy, and is committed to allowing young players to receive a unified education in Basel, so that they can directly complete the growth from the echelon to the first team in the future.
After entering the 21st century, the number of first-team players produced by the team's youth training has reached 40.
The more famous players who have gone out from Basel are:
Rakitic is currently playing for Sevilla.
Now playing for Naples Inle.
Kuzmanovic for Stuttgart.
Philip Degen, who once played for Liverpool.
And now, several young people in Basel's first team have aroused Fang Jue's interest.
One of them is Basel's young Swiss midfielder Xhaka, who was once called a "young version of Schweinsteiger" by the Swiss national team coach and former Bayern Munich coach Hitzfeld.
Fang Jue is most interested in Basel's young local winger Shaqiri.
The reason why Manchester United was eliminated in the group stage was most directly related to their 1-2 loss to Basel in the final round of the group stage.
In this game, Shaqiri didn't score a goal, but he jumped Manchester United's defense on the wing, and his performance was very eye-catching.
Fang Jue gave an order to Aston Villa's scouting team to continue to pay attention to the performance of Shaqiri and Xhaka.
He cannot always use the system to "identify" players to buy people. From a long-term and security perspective, it is necessary to cultivate and own a top scouting team.
The main function of the system is to provide Fang Jue with a steady stream of top stars like Bale and Mane, and win them first before these players make their fortunes.
...
Manchester United was eliminated in the UEFA Champions League group stage and could only play in the Europa League as the third place in the group. Since the 2005/2006 season, they have missed the knockout round again.
This became the focus of media coverage in England over the next few days.
The media gathered at the Carrington Training Base.
It is said that some rash reporters said some "shouldn't say" things, and were scolded bloody by Ferguson.
When the Manchester United team was shrouded in a tense atmosphere, the Aston Villa team had arrived in Manchester to prepare for the upcoming Premier League focus match against Manchester United.
On the morning of the match day, Aston Villa conducted regular training.
Manchester City kindly provided a field at the Carrington training base for Aston Villa to train.
Although Manchester City and Aston Villa are already in a competitive relationship, the relationship between Aston Villa Club and Manchester City Club is not bad, especially the personal relationship between Fang Jue and Manchester City executives is good.
Especially when facing Manchester United, a common opponent, Manchester City is willing to help.
This also aroused Ferguson's sarcasm. The old Scottish man sarcastically said that Manchester City will never become a big boss and only has Manchester United in his eyes.
After training, the players went to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes, while Fang Jue went to the pre-match press conference.
Then, he heard someone calling him.
Fang Jue turned his head and saw Ferguson on the opposite side.
Fang Jue was stunned for a moment before he could react.
This is the Carrington training base, a training base shared by Manchester United and Manchester City. There is a separation net between the training grounds of the two sides.
...
"Come to Manchester ahead of time to prepare for the game, are you afraid?" Ferguson muttered with his head held high.
He was referring to the fact that Aston Villa came to Manchester a day and a half earlier and also used Manchester City's training ground to prepare for the game.
This is relatively rare. After all, England is such a big place. Many Premier League teams play away games the night before the game, or even come to the away game on the day of the game.
This is where Fang Jue thinks the professor is cuter than the Sir. The professor is so refined, even when he is angry, he rarely scolds. The old Scottish man always speaks like this, and usually speaks with a tinge of yin and yang.
"We have nothing to be afraid of." Fang Jue replied unceremoniously, "Anyway, we have become a habit of winning you, and now I am just worried about how many wins."
Since Fang Jue coached Aston Villa, Villa has become an insurmountable wall for many giants in the Premier League.
The media always ridicule Arsenal when they face Aston Villa. This is because Arsenal loses too badly, with big scores every time.
In fact, Ferguson's Manchester United has never won against Fang Jue's Aston Villa in the past two years. It is either a draw or a loss, and the losses account for the vast majority, but the losses are not as bad as Arsenal's. In the front, there are fewer criticisms.
Ferguson has been in charge of Manchester United for more than 20 years. Whether it is Kevin Keegan, Dalglish or Benitez or Mourinho or Wenger, they have not been able to really kill Manchester United. The old man has experienced many battles.
However, he just didn't win against Fang Jue, which was Ferguson's backlash.
Fang Jue hopes to annoy Jazz with this.
However, Ferguson is a super expert in psychological warfare, which directly drove Keegan crazy.
...
The old Scottish man sneered, and shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't care: "Only people who are psychologically scared will keep talking big words to imply their hypocritical strength."
"Whoever is afraid knows." Fang Jue stabbed again.
The old man snorted, turned and walked away.
Fang Jue looked at Ferguson's back, feeling a little regretful, this old man is indeed an old fox, so he is not angry.
Fang Jue suddenly shouted, "Sir."
Ferguson turned to look at him.
I'm so disappointed that you didn't even qualify for the group stage. "
As he spoke, he shook his head.
Ferguson looked at the guy, he was furious.
disappointment?
We were eliminated, you are so disappointed.
Originally, the fact that Manchester United was eliminated in the Champions League group stage was considered a shame by Ferguson, and the old Scottish man has been suppressing his anger.
Now that Fang Jue had exposed his scars so directly, Ferguson, who had been telling himself to calm down and not be fooled by this guy's psychological warfare, finally couldn't help it.
"People like you will have their teeth smashed with a big stick sooner or later," Ferguson scolded.
Whoops, is this a fight?
Fang Jue was excited.
"Come on, who is afraid of whom?" He rolled up his sleeves and hooked his fingers towards Ferguson.
"Bastard." The godfather of Manchester United was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red. He was so shameless. He cursed angrily. Ferguson himself is a difficult master, but he has never seen such... a person.
Fang felt complacent and turned around to leave, an old man, bickering with me, heh!
If it weren't for your bad heart, I would have even more powerful tricks.
...
"Old Trafford! What a beautiful memory!" Fang Jue murmured to himself looking at the brightly lit Old Trafford Stadium not far away in the night.
Once upon a time, he was just a mobile communication master of the United Nations intangible culture. His biggest dream was to work more jobs and earn more money for his younger sister to finish college. pretty wife.
Now?
Stepping on Old Trafford, punching Barcelona, ravaging two Milans, a cough can stop the night cry of London children.
At the sage moment after being loyal, Fang Jue would be lost in thought, this is not the life he wants.
How could I live such a boring life?
Old Trafford has been surrounded by a frenzied atmosphere.
The red of Manchester United fans, the wine red of Aston Villa fans, are coming from all directions.
Then there was a collision in this stadium, which produced a huge turmoil, stirring up the passion and frenzy of the sky.
That's the beauty of football.
Regardless of the status of these fans in daily life and work, they may be white-collar workers in suits and leather shoes, or gentle university professors, or ordinary citizens.
At this moment, their identities are the same: fans!
The phrase football is war is not an exaggeration for many fanatical football fans.
Football is the place where male hormones can be released most in peaceful times.
The 90-minute game has carried too much attention and too much madness waiting to be released.
Tens of thousands, even millions, tens of millions of fans of each team are watching those 11 people. Victory is a hero, and mistakes are sinners.
When the goal comes, when the victory is achieved, how can the hysterical passion not make people's blood boil?
...
"There is a situation in the G area!" The mounted policeman on a tall horse noticed a small commotion in a certain area because of his wider vision, and quickly reported it.
It was a spat between a group of Manchester United fans and a group of Aston Villa fans.
"Manchester United are invincible!"
"When we win, let's brag again!"
"Villa country bumpkin, go back!"
"European champions! European champions Aston Villa!"
"The villain succeeds, shit!"
Fans on both sides are fighting each other, and until this moment, the situation seems to be under control.
Then, someone among the Aston Villa fans yelled, "We were eliminated by Basel, ahhh, we were eliminated, I am dead!"
Because of its timeliness and strong direct attack performance, this sentence immediately detonated the already tense situation.
"Fuck them to death!"
"Hit them!"
"Catch him faintly!"
"Ah, bastard, eat my finger!"
"Aww!"
Fans from both sides fought together.
The security personnel blew their whistles and waved their batons to disperse the clashing crowd, and then a few unlucky ones did not escape in time and were caught by the police into a police car and taken away.
Aston Villa's coach arrives.
They were greeted with cheers from the Aston Villa fans who came to cheer on them and, of course, huge boos from the Manchester United fans.
The warm-up of the field is over, before the game.
Fang Jue mobilized before the game in the visiting team's locker room at Old Trafford.
"There is no need to talk about the specific tactics." Fang Jue clapped his palms and said something, "I met that old man Ferguson in the morning."
"Do you know what he said?" Fang Jue raised his voice.
"The old man said that we are afraid of Manchester United, and what else did he say that he wanted to smash our teeth with a big stick." Fang Jue said in a very serious tone, "I really don't know where he got the confidence to say that."
"I'm angry." He looked at his players. "I don't know what you think."
"angry!"
"Get rid of them!"
The players shouted.
"In this game, I only have one request, attack! Attack! No matter how many goals we scored or what the score was, I only have one request, attack!" He waved his hand violently, "Play me to fear them! I Manchester United would shudder to hear our names!"
"Fear them!!!"
A frenzied roar erupted from the visiting dressing room at Old Trafford.
...
Players from both sides have entered the field.
The atmosphere in the stadium has been completely ignited.
The game is about to begin.
"Manchester United and Aston Villa, the two teams have had nothing to do with each other for the past 100 years."
"Actually, the relationship between Aston Villa and Manchester United has always been pretty good," Lineker said.
"Yes, Villa was the little brother behind Manchester United at that time." John Mortenson said directly.
The Aston Villa fans in front of the TV laughed and did not scold Mortensen. Only Mortensen could say this. This gold medal commentator has been accepted by Aston Villa because the opponent thinks he is very respected. Fans are considered half of their own.
"Fang Jue bought Aston Villa and coached this century-old team, which changed everything. Aston Villa has dominated the Premier League for two consecutive seasons, and it seems that they are likely to continue... This is for the Red Devils. For Manchester United, it is obviously unacceptable, as the most successful giants in the Premier League, they must say no to Aston Villa!"
"Ferguson must be very eager to say no to Fangjue," Lineker said. "Ferguson has not been able to win Fangjue. He must be very uncomfortable."
The camera showed a close-up of the coach seat of the home team. Ferguson was sitting on the seat with a relatively calm expression.
"Wenger is more eager than Ferguson." John Mortensen said suddenly.
In front of the TV, Mr. Arsena Wenger who is watching the game: o(一︿一+)o
"It's okay, Arsena." Assistant coach Patrice comforted Wenger, "Don't pay attention to these words."
"Mortensen is right." Wenger sighed.
"Of course, maybe Wenger is used to it (being blown by Fang Jue's Aston Villa)." On TV, Mortensen continued.
professor:……
...
CCTV Sports Channel conducted a live broadcast of Aston Villa's guest game at Old Trafford.
In fact, as early as the season schedule came out, CCTV repeatedly broadcast previews of several key games of Aston Villa's strong dialogue to attract fans to watch the game.
"Manchester United vs. Aston Villa at home, this game is the focus of this round of the Premier League."

"Yes, 500 million viewers." Howe nodded, "What is the concept of 500 million viewers? Let me give you a chestnut. You must know that the Spanish national derby in 2010 was watched by only 400 million fans, and the total number of viewers in the South African World Cup final But 700 million."
"There are reasons for attracting so many fans. The Premier League has always been enthusiastically sought after in Asia, especially Manchester United has countless fans in Southeast Asia and East Asia."
"Hehehe, let me correct one point. Now in Asia, especially in Southeast Asia and East Asia, the number of Aston Villa fans has skyrocketed. Some data even show that at this speed, it will only take three to five years at the fastest. The number of fans will surpass Manchester United." Zhang Lu said, "Just kidding, this is also one of the reasons why the relationship between Manchester United and Aston Villa has become tense, stealing people."
"I know this. After Aston Villa won the Champions League last season, there have been many ten-year veteran Villa fans all over Asia." Howe said with a smile.
At this time, the starting list and the bench list of both sides were displayed on the live screen.
