The fierce-looking big middle-aged man named Alf Inger Haaland, a former Norwegian international, played football at Leeds United and Manchester City before retiring.

Yes, this old Haaland is the one that Keane admitted in his autobiography that he wanted to deliberately depose.

These two people can be said to have a deep grudge.

In 1997, Harland, the old man played for Leeds United.

During the "Rose Derby" match between Manchester United and Leeds United, Keane tore his cruciate ligament and lay in pain on the ground. But Haaland ran over and roared at him, believing that he was pretending to be injured.

Four years after the incident, Haaland has transferred to Manchester City.

In the Manchester derby that year, the two enemies Lu Zhai met again, and Keane seized the opportunity and kicked him fiercely.

While Old Haaland fell to the ground and screamed in pain, Keane walked out of the court without looking back.

Later in Keane's autobiography, he admitted that he did it on purpose and he waited for four years!

Now, Old Haaland is a new employee of Aston Villa Club and is an assistant coach of the U16 echelon.

The reason why Old Haaland chose to leave his hometown Norway and come to work in Birmingham is very simple.

Fang Jue went to Haaland's home in person and said that Aston Villa Club noticed that Alf Inge Haaland's son Ellin Haaland is very talented and hopes to sign Haaland little.

Old Haaland is very happy that his son was attracted by Fang Jue, who is known for his "good at discovering young players".

However, Old Haaland was also a little hesitant. He didn't really want his thirteen-year-old son to go abroad alone.

After learning about Old Haaland’s concerns, Fang Jue directly invited Old Haaland to work at Aston Villa Club.

In this way, Haaland's family came from Norway to Birmingham. Haaland's old became the youth team coach of Aston Villa Club, and Haaland's younger brother also entered Aston Villa's youth training camp.

"Not bad." Old Harland's voice was rough and his voice was very loud. "The most important thing is that Ellin likes it very much."

"Boy, I look forward to one day you will be able to attack Villa in the Champions League final, and all the fans of the audience are cheering for you." Fang Jue smiled and touched Haaland's head.

The little guy was a little shy, but nodded vigorously with excitement.

Fang Jue greeted the father and son and left.

Now, Villa's youth tier has the 16-year-old Killian Mbappe and 13-year-old Ellin Haaland. These two are good seedlings he has discovered. With these two very talented little guys, when they grow up, Aston Villa will not have to worry about the forward line in the next ten years.

...

A few days later, in the 24th round of the Premier League, with Lewandowski's goal, Aston Villa defeated Swansea 1-0 at home and continued to lead the Premier League standings.

Three days later, in the 25th round of the league, Aston Villa defeated Hull City 2-0 away. In this game, the young Korean player Son Heung-min made a pass and shot, which was the biggest contributor to Aston Villa's victory.

Three days later, in the fifth round of the FA Cup, Aston Villa defeated Leicester City four-one at home, and advanced to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup this season.

Their opponent in the quarterfinals was West Bromwich, who had just eliminated West Ham United by a huge four-to-zero difference.

In this game against Leicester City, Belgian's "Little Warcraft" Lukaku scored twice in the game, and Sanchez also scored a goal.

What made Chinese fans happiest was that Zhang Yang, who came on as a substitute in the second half, received a pass from Gallish and scored a first goal in front of the goal, scoring the first goal of the Chinese player in the FA Cup.

After the game, domestic sports media also cheered.

In addition, in La Liga, this round was La Liga. Ibiza defeated Vilva 2-1 at home, and Aston Villa was loaned to Ibiza Wenlei and scored a goal in the game.

Sports Weekly used photos of Zhang Yang and Wen Lei scoring goals in the England and Spain respectively on the front page. The sales of this issue of newspapers soared, and as the days of paper media were getting worse, it also rebounded a rare time.

Two days after playing this FA Cup, Aston Villa set out for Germany.

They played against Leverkusen in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

The draw of Leverkusen in the quarterfinals also led many media and fans to think that Aston Villa had drawn a super gift package.

However, Fang Jue didn't think so.

"Leverkusen is a strong and respectable opponent, and anyone who underestimates them will pay the price."

"Faced with such a strong team with a long history, we must put in 1120% of our efforts."

"I know Mr. Schmidt is a very skilled coach. His team is not easy to deal with. We have to be extremely careful."

Fang Jue's words won the praise of the German media, praising him as a humble gentleman.

February 17th.

Bayer Athletic Stadium, Germany.

Before the game started, Fang Jue shook hands with Leverkusen head coach Roger Schmidt.

The two chatted for a while, and it seemed that Fang Jue said before the game that he admired Roger Schmidt very much, and it seemed that it was not all polite words.

"Leverkusen invited Schmidt to coach last summer. Schmidt, 48, started coaching Salzburg Red Bull in the summer of 2012. Last season, Schmidt led the team to win the Austrian League in advance, scoring 110 goals in a single season. He has two strikers, Soriano scored 31 goals in 28 appearances, and Alan scored 26 goals in 29 appearances. You should know that the team ranked second in the Austrian League has only scored less than 70 goals."

He Wei, who commented on the game, said, "This is why the senior executives of Leverkusen Club are interested in Schmidt. He is very good at leading the offense and is also good at cultivating young people."

"This Schmidt is very interesting," Zhang Lu said with a chuckle. "He played for a while in the German second division, but he made no achievements. Later, he gave up professional football and studied mechanical engineering at Paderborn University. After graduation, Schmidt found an electronics engineer job at Paderborn's local auto parts manufacturing company, and coached a local low-level club, serving as a head coach and player."
