Chapter 960 2013 Winter Transfer (Seeking Subscription Monthly Pass)

The reason why he chose to spend money at the central defender position is because Fang Jue finally made a decision, and he agreed to Papastathopoulos' transfer request.

Seeing that he can only stand by on the bench in Aston Villa.

The attitude of the Greek to leave the team is very firm, he doesn't want to stay on the bench anymore.

Fang felt that even if he forced Papastathopoulos to stay for half a season, it might affect the good atmosphere in the locker room.

Papastathopoulos 'entered' the transfer market, which immediately attracted the attention of many teams that urgently needed reinforcements on the defensive line.

Within the Premier League, Queens Park Rangers, ranked last, and Newcastle, ranked 15th in the league, both intend to introduce Papastathopoulos.

The two teams conceded 36 goals and 39 goals in the 20 rounds of the league, especially Newcastle, who had just been knocked out by Arsenal for 7 goals. The media even used 'undefended' Describe Newcastle's defense.

Outside the Premier League, Dortmund have also expressed their desire to introduce Papastathopoulos.

When the media reported that Dortmund was interested in Papastathopoulos, they joked that Dortmund coach Klopp was simply Fang Jue's "little fan" and liked Fang Jue's players very much:

It can be seen from the experiences of Royce, Hummels, Lewandowski and Aubameyang.

Fang Jue left it to the uniform team to worry about the transfer of Papastathopoulos. He only stipulated one principle:

The club will not put an obstacle in the way of a move for Papastathopoulos, however, the buyer must show the sincerity worthy of a Premier League champions defender.

...

Three days later, the third round of the 2012/2013 FA Cup kicked off, and Premier League teams began to enter the field.

Aston Villa face Championship side Ipswich Town in the third round of the FA Cup.

Ipswich Town is just a small team, but some old Premier League fans should have a certain impression of this team.

In the 2000/2001 season, Ipswich Town became the dark horse of the Premier League as a newly promoted team, and finally ranked fifth in the Premier League and entered the European war, which shocked everyone.

The team were then relegated in their second season and have been in the Championship ever since.

Fang Jue's goal has always been clear, the Premier League and the Champions League are the focus.

Now for Aston Villa, the meaning of the League Cup and the FA Cup is to allow substitutes and young players to exercise.

Those substitute players who cannot get too many opportunities to play in the league and the Champions League can have a chance to show themselves in the cup.

In this game, Fang Jue carried out a lot of rotation. In the end, with the goals of veteran Inzaghi and French teenager Pogba, the team beat Ipswich Town 2-1 at home and advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup. .

...

In the following week, in the first round of the League Cup semi-finals, Fang Jue made another rotation.

The main players who played in the FA Cup game against Ipswich Town were rested, and some of the main players who did not play in that game played in this game.

With veteran Ibrahimovic's goal and De Bruyne's free kick scored directly, Aston Villa defeated the British Championship team Bradford 2-1 in the away game. Take the lead in the semi-finals.

The transfer of Papastathopoulos has also progressed.

Queens Park Rangers are the most sincere. The team's offer for Papastathopoulos has reached 15 million pounds, which makes Fang feel more satisfied. However, the Greek defender is unwilling to go to Queens Park Rangers.

Because this team is currently the bottom one in the Premier League and the relegation situation is very severe, Papastathopoulos does not want to play in the English Championship next season.

At present, it is basically Newcastle and Dortmund in the Bundesliga.

For Papastathopoulos, going to Newcastle means that he does not need to adapt to the new league style. However, Newcastle's relegation situation is also very severe. He is more inclined to go to Dortmund. The cards are bigger and you can play in the Champions League.

Papastathopoulos has played for Aston Villa in the Champions League this season, and can no longer represent Dortmund in the Champions League. However, the Greek defender looks farther, and he looks at next season.

Fang Jue respects Papastathopoulos' choice. He has only one request, and Dortmund has to show sincerity.

...

Liverpool.

Everton's training base.

"Steve, is the signing of Stones completed?" Everton coach David Moyes asked his assistant Steve Round.

Everton's scouts recommended Barnsley's young central defender John Stones to the club. Moyes was very optimistic about the young defender and suggested that the club sign Stones.

"It's almost done," Round said. "We're communicating well with Stones' agent, and we're just short of the final personal agreement."

At this moment, the phone on Moyes' desk rang.

"Okay, I see." Putting down the phone, Moyes' face was not very good.

"David, what's the matter?"

"Stones' agent has informed us that they are suspending negotiations with Everton."

"Why?" Ron asked.

"You ask me, I ask who to go to." Moyes was a little angry.

The answer will be revealed soon.

Aston Villa announced on the same day that the team had signed the 18-year-old English native defender John Stones from Barnsley Club at a price of 3 million pounds. The two parties signed a five-year contract.

Hearing the news, Moyes was both angry and helpless.

Aston Villa made a move to grab someone, and Everton had nothing to say about their defeat.

Among other things, Fang Jue is good at discovering and cultivating the reputation of young people, which is fatal to young players.

Moreover, Aston Villa's cards are incomparable to Everton now.

...

On January 12, in the twenty-second round of the Premier League, Aston Villa faced Southampton at home at the St. Andrews Stadium.

Eighty-one minutes into the game, the score is still one to one.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic opened the scoring for Aston Villa.

Lambert equalized for Southampton in the second half of the game.

Since then, despite Aston Villa's full attack, they have always missed the goal.

Pogba took the ball in midfield, the Frenchman accelerated with the ball, squeezed Rodriguez who was defending him, and pushed the ball to Hamei.

Hamei flicked her ankle, and the football passed into the penalty area and landed at Ibrahimovic's feet.

Ibrahimovic was strictly guarded by the opponent in the penalty area. He tried his best to control the ball at his feet and tried to find opportunities, which made the Swedish veteran a little impatient.

Southampton's state is very good today. The whole team is like a chicken blood, and it survived the indiscriminate bombing of Aston Villa.

Now Southampton is almost retreating across the board, and Ibrahimovic is surrounded by many players around him.

In the narrow box, the Swede looked helpless.

Ibrahimovic tried to force a turn and shoot, which he immediately saw was impossible.

He can only pass the football.

After Mane received the ball, he took advantage of the trend and wanted to pass it to Ibrahimovic.

Then, as soon as the Swede took the ball, the football was poked open.

...

After Schneiderlin steals the ball, he clears with a big foot, and the football is pushed back by Clement.

Lewandowski headed back, Ibrahimovic got the ball again, and fell into the circle mode of encirclement again.

The Swedish veteran forced himself to calm down, impatience is useless.

At this time, he caught a glimpse of the space on the left side of the penalty area, perhaps because Aston Villa's series of attacks were launched from the right. Southampton's defense line was heavily tilted to the left, and their right side was temporarily empty. .

This is a fleeting opportunity.

Ibrahimovic made a gesture to forcibly turn around. When his body was about to turn around, his ankle flicked, and the football flew diagonally to the left.

"Ibrahimovic... turned around, beautiful! The space on the left, how did the ball come out..."

Everyone was startled by Ibrahimovic's pass.

The Aston Villa players were amazed at Ibrahimovic's pass.

The Southampton players panicked. They only saw the space on the right in panic at this time, but it was too late.

"Milner! He rushed up, he didn't stop the ball, he just shot!"

The football was directly drawn by Milner, made a muffled bang, and flew straight towards the goal.

Everyone was shocked by Milner's shot.

They watched as the ball raced towards the goal, eventually slipping between the hands of keeper Boruc and crashing into the top corner:

This is almost a theoretical dead end!

...

"goooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaal!"

"James Milner! World wave! Milner hit a world wave, two to one! Aston Villa finally scored!"

St. Andrews Stadium went into a frenzy with this kick burst scoring.

The Aston Villa players chased Milner excitedly, and the England international was extremely happy. He avoided the siege and interception of his teammates, rushed to the sidelines, and embraced the excited head coach with open arms.

"This is Milner's second goal in the league this season, a very crucial goal, two to one, Aston Villa is likely to win this key victory with this goal."

"Southampton will fight for relegation. Relegation teams are not easy to play. Aston Villa encountered a strong block today. However, at the critical moment, someone from Aston Villa stood up, and Milner stood up. , Of course, I have to praise Ibrahimovic for this ball, the pass is too beautiful."

"This is Ibrahimovic, he is surrounded by opponents, it is almost difficult to see the passing line, but Ibrahimovic saw the space and passed the ball in such a beautiful way."

"Ibrahimovic's pass is beautiful, Milner's shot is wonderful!"

After being scored by Aston Villa, the morale of Southampton, which had been stubbornly resisting, seemed to be discouraged.

In the subsequent games, Southampton's state was greatly affected. If it weren't for the goal post to save their lives, they might concede another goal.

In the end, Aston Villa beat Southampton 2-1 at home in this difficult game and scored a crucial three points.

After the game, Aston Villa coach Fang Jue praised Southampton's performance, "I want to pay tribute to our opponents, they caused us a lot of trouble, Southampton's strength is definitely not reflected in the rankings Come out, they deserve my applause."

After boasting about his opponent, Fang Jue praised his players even more.

"I want to praise everyone. They performed very well. The more difficult the game, the more it can reflect the team's tenacious willpower."

"Milner's goals are very beautiful. Compared with goals, I admire his fighting spirit more. He is like a non-stop fighter!"

"How did Zlatan pass that ball? I don't know. I'm going to say I do. I'm Zlatan."

Fang Jue’s remarks obviously made Ibrahimovic very happy. He said on his personal social account after the game:

Yes, the boss is right, this is something only Zlatan can do.

...

"Sir, I am very honored to be favored by you, but I have decided to go to Liverpool. There, I can play."

"Sorry to hear about your decision, Felipe." Fang Jue said, "You are a great guy, I wish you good luck in the future."

"Thank you, sir."

Fang Jue hung up the phone, he shrugged and shook his head helplessly.

Fang Jue was a little depressed. The tried-and-tested phone call trick to attract young people finally hit a wall this time.

Coutinho declined his invitation.

The meaning of this Brazilian is very clear. The past two years of "wasting" at Inter Milan have allowed him to grow. Now he does not aspire to go to the top team. He wants to play games and become the main force.

In Aston Villa, there are players such as Ibrahimovic, Modric, Mane, De Bruyne, Ronaldo and Shinji Kagawa. He can only play on the bench when he comes to Aston Villa. Fight for playing time.

On the Liverpool side, head coach Rodgers promised Brazil the main position, which Fang Jue could not give.

Fang Jue rubbed his temples depressed. It is always unpleasant to be rejected, especially for a young man he is very optimistic about.

Fang Jue is upset, and he also wants to make others unhappy.

He called Ferguson and Wenger respectively to question each other. He recommended Coutinho to them with good intentions, but you failed to catch this good seed and let the Liverpool people take advantage of it. It was a waste of his good intentions. up.

Ferguson didn't want to talk to him, and hurt Fang Jue a bit.

The professor said that Fang Jue should not call him in the near future.

"I found out that as long as you call, we can't win the game." The professor said quite resentfully.

"This is slander." Fang Jue was very dissatisfied, "If you can't win the game, blame me."

"What did you say?" the professor was angry.

"Nothing, nothing, I said you guys will definitely win this round."

Snapped!

Hang up over there.

A day later, in the last game of this round of the Premier League, Arsenal lost 0-2 at home to Manchester City. Dzeko and David Silva made contributions in the first and second halves respectively.

London.

Kearney training base.

Professor Wenger silently set Fang Jue's phone number to 'reject calls from the other party'.
