Chapter 461 The first close contact with Ferguson (monthly ticket 20-21/24 supplement)
Fang Jue walked towards Zora.
He was full of respect for the man.
Not for Zora as a coach, but for Zora.
This is a man who can make you moisturize with his left foot. No, right, he is a man who can play the violin.
Chelsea's current captain and temperament John Terry's number is No. 6, which everyone knows.
But why did Terry choose No. 6?
Few people know that the reason why Chelsea captain chose No. 6 is because he is closest to No. 5 in the locker room.
There is no No. 5 at Chelsea now. After Zora retired, Chelsea announced that the No. 5 player had retired.
An Italian who works hard in the Premier League and can retire with him is a great honor.
Fang Jue said, "A wonderful game, you got a dream start, and we have a good result."
Zora was not tall, so he raised his head and looked at Fang Jue with interest. He was surprised that a Chinese coach appeared in European football and was so young and successful.
"I hope we are the one who has the best results," Zora said with a wry smile. "Your two goals were very exciting, especially the first goal, I thought it was playing against Arsenal."
Zora is an Arsenal fan, which is already well known. To be precise, Zora is a Wenger fan as a coach.
"Actually, you played very well, your offense is very distinctive, and you are only a little bit away from winning the game, but your luck is a little bit worse." Fang Jue said sincerely.
This made Zora feel much better. He shook hands with Fang Jue and said goodbye, and even joked that he would get back the scene the next round.
"You really think they lost because of bad luck?" Sebalos asked.
"Of course not." Fang Jue shook his head. There was only one reason why he could win this game: his team played well!
"You are digging a hole for Zora." Sebalus said immediately. This guy is really sinister. If Zora really believes this, she will still play like this next time she visits Villa Park Stadium, she will probably die even worse.
"Things are not." Fang Jue denied it. He stared at him, feeling very unhappy about Sebalus's dirty and innocent behavior.
Did he say it wrong? West Ham United's shots in the whole game were 1.5 times that of Aston Villa. The opponent played really well when it came to the data.
...
The next day, the sports page of the Birmingham local media Birmingham Post used a big title: Top!
After two rounds of the league, Aston Villa won 6 points in both games.
In the Premier League standings, five teams have won 6 points in two games, namely Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Fulham and Aston Villa.
Aston Villa has the least goal difference and ranks fifth.
Of course, judging by the points, they are indeed tied with Arsenal, the top spot.
This is a very interesting ranking. In the top five in the league, except Aston Villa, the other four teams are all from London.
"This is the glory of the London team, but it is also a shame for the two Manchester teams and Liverpool." The Guardian said bluntly.
Needless to say, Manchester United and Liverpool have been crazily signing players in the summer transfer market, and Manchester City, who have successively introduced stars such as Adebayor, Tevez, Santa Cruz, lost to Everton at home in this round of the league, which is indeed surprising.
The Daily Mirror uses the title "Vera people surrounded by Londoners". This title is an affirmation and appreciation of Aston Villa.
If the thrilling victory in the first round of the league is due to the opponent's own goal, which makes Aston Villa fans still have some concerns and lack confidence in the team, the away victory over the strong rival West Ham United in the second round of the league will make Aston Villa fans very happy.
Not to mention anything else, after twelve consecutive losses in the second half of last season, the league won two consecutive victories in the new season, which made many fans who were worried about the team's continued decline this season breathed a little relieved.
After changing the boss, changing coaches, and changing the player's blood, the two consecutive wins in the league were indeed a big surprise.
Times reporter Duncan Castour praised Aston Villa in his column, and he believed that Fang Jue's second game had made considerable progress than the first game.
Castull focused on Mane and Diego Costa who debuted in this game.
“Mane’s speed is surprising.”
"And the most surprising thing is Diego Costa, a Brazilian player who spent Aston Villa 1.6 million pounds, although he only played for more than ten minutes, I bet that this kid was born for the Premier League. He was like a calf, screaming..."
"Although it is not possible to say how outstanding these two players will perform in Aston Villa in the future, at least this is a good start. Coach Fang Jue once again proved his vision of people."
...
Another local media in Birmingham, Birmingham Evening News, paid attention to Abanglaho's outstanding performance. He gave a correct assist in the first round of the league. There was another key goal in this round of the game against West Ham United, which excited Birmingham media and fans.
As a native of Birmingham, Gabriel Abanglaho has been an Aston Villa fan since he was a child and entered Villa youth training camp at a very young age.
This is Vera's own person with a strong root.
While praising Abanglaho, the Birmingham Evening News did not forget to praise the head coach, thinking that Fang Jue activated Abanglaho:
Last season, Aston Villa lost twelve consecutive league losses, and Abanglaho also encountered a nine-round goal drought. Now Fang Jue coaches Villa, Abanglaho is "resurrected in full blood".
Of course, there is a reason for the media to report this way. Abanglaho happily revealed in an interview with the media that the coach was very satisfied with his performance and praised him in particular, and he was very happy.
Fang Jue responded to this and told reporters, "(Abanglaho goal) I'm not surprised at all, because I believe he has such ability. Maybe his situation was a bit bad last season, but now, he will use the goal to make everyone admire him."
Seeing that Fang Jue attaches importance to and is optimistic about Abanglaho and 'activated' Abanglaho, Aston Villa's media and fans are naturally happy.
In a sense, this also made Aston Villa fans feel that they have a good impression of each other.
Of course, this is based on winning.
The same thing is true, if you win, everything will be delicious.
...
Fang Jue was not surprised by Deisler's goal, the Germans had such strength.
What he was most happy about was Abanglaho's goal. The England international was very fast and strong, and he ran like a small tank. His biggest weakness was that his skills were relatively rough and his shooting quality was not high.
Let's not talk about technology for now.
If the shooting level can be slightly improved, it will definitely be a big surprise.
So, Fang Jue was in a good mood.
Ferguson was in a bad mood.
In the second round of the league, Manchester United lost 0-1 to Burnley away.
This is Burnley's first Premier League match at home, and it is also their return to the top stadium in England after 33 years.
Manchester United has won 10 wins and 7 draws against Burnley in 41 years and remained unbeaten.
Manchester United lost at Tefumore Stadium last time but the first league in 1968.
Therefore, Manchester United's loss to Burnley this time can be said to break an embarrassing record.
It is precisely because of this that this defeat also made the English media exclaim "super unpopular".
In the media's opinion, Ferguson has a certain responsibility for Manchester United's loss in this game. The old Sir was a little despised by his opponent. The evidence is that Ferguson rotated 6 players in this game.
However, in Ferguson's view, rotation is not a reason to lose, because even if six players are rotated, Manchester United is still far stronger than their opponents, the newly promoted team.
At Carrington Training Base, the head coach's office lights were still on very late.
After watching the video of the game losing to Burnley repeatedly, Ferguson was a little tired, and rubbed his temples and closed his eyes to think.
Inadequate offensive ability!
This is the most direct reason for this defeat found by Ferguson.
In fact, this is what Ferguson is most worried about the current Manchester United team.
After Ronaldo left, Rooney became Manchester United's new core.
After two Premier League games, Rooney is indeed the protagonist in the midfield and frontcourt, but Manchester United's attack power has dropped significantly.
Manchester United coaching staff reminded Rooney not to retreat too much, but firstly, Rooney's style of play is like this, and secondly, if he is at the front end, Manchester United's midfield organization will be even worse.
If Lu Xiaopang is in a position of embarrassment that he can't find the receiver when passing the ball, and entering the penalty area, he can't find the sender when he can't find the passer.
When Rooney was paired with Berbatov, the Red Devils were worried that both forwards liked to retreat; it was Irving's turn to partner with Rooney. It was said that the characteristics of the old Golden Boy's fox in the penalty area should be complemented by the little fat, but unfortunately Irving's performance was really disappointing.
It is very stupid to conclude a player by playing two games, and Ferguson would not make such a mistake.
However, Irving urgently needs to adjust his physical and mental state as soon as possible, which is impossible to be wrong.
Irving was once substituted in the league and scored the lowest in the team.
In the first round against Birmingham, Irving wasted the single shot created by Rooney's "straight chest" creation.
In this game, Irving missed Evra's cross from his feet, and even responded to Brown's cross from the right. He was not tall but his heading skills were always good. Irving was also very poor this time and was unable to reach the right position.
Manchester United's few high-quality crosses in the game, Irving always appears in the right position, which shows that his running awareness is still excellent, but he "sniffs" the ball with his sense of smell in front of the goal, but he can't touch it, which is useless.
Irving's efficiency in seizing opportunities is not as high as the legend, but in terms of warm-up matches, he has wasted seven or eight goals in succession, which is by no means normal.
Irving's attitude is positive, and he has both pulling back and pulling, but the loss of speed and lack of skills make him look timid when he takes the ball.
Ferguson introduced Irving, on the one hand, it attracted the experience of former Liverpool Golden Boy, and on the other hand, it attracted the speed of Irving, which can become a hot spot that Manchester United lacks.
However, Irving's speed is no longer good, and his ability to seize opportunities has also dropped rapidly, which makes Ferguson a headache.
On this day, the media began to urge Ferguson to buy another striker. The Daily Telegraph recommended three candidates, Aguero, Villa and Luca Toni.
Aguero and Villa are sky-high prices. Although Manchester United made a profit by selling Ronaldo, after spending more than 30 million pounds last year, it is impossible for them to spend a lot of money on the front line this summer.
Luca Tony is old and has "suffered" from Irving, and Ferguson will no longer take risks with the veteran.
Therefore, Ferguson ignored the enthusiastic "recommendation" of the media at all.
At this moment, Ferguson is watching a edited video, which is a collection of game videos of Abonraho edited by Manchester United's technical department.
Ferguson focused on Abang Raho's performance in these two rounds after the start of the new season.
Ferguson likes the more he looks.
Abanglaho is often active on the right and middle lanes and can switch at any time.
But more often, they appear as a right winger and use their own speed advantages to tear the opponent's defense.
Generally speaking, fast forwards do not have strong physical ability to fight, and Irving is an example.
However, Abanglaho is very strong.
This made Abanglaho started, like a small tank with full-power, and even if the full back with a slightly poor physical fitness was hung on him, he could not stop him from moving forward.
Although Abanglaho also has shortcomings, he is not a player who plays a meticulous job.
But then again, if Abanglaho was fast, strong and skilled, it wouldn't be Gabriel agbonlahor, it would be Gabriel Ronaldo, or it would be Ronaldo.
That's a sky-high price.
So, if you think about it carefully, Abang Lajo is actually a very suitable candidate. Because of the Premier League household registration book, the price is not cheap, but it will not be a sky-high price, and it is the explosive point that Manchester United urgently needs now.
...
Manchester United want to buy Abanglaho!
The next day, Fang Jue received the report just after arriving at the head coach's office at Villa training base.
"Ferguson fell in love with Abanglaho?" Fang Jue was surprised.
It’s not that Ferguson could not fall in love with Abanglaho, Fang Jue was surprised that there was no news about this incident before, and it was a complete sudden***.
"It is probably because Irving's performance is not satisfactory, so Ferguson fell in love with the same fast Abonlaho," said Steven Warner.
"Mr. Clark notify you to call him back at ten o'clock," said Sebalos.
"I understand." Fang Jue nodded.
After finishing the work at hand, Fang Jue called Bob Clark to the club.
Fang Jue asked Bob to reply to Manchester United's side that Abang Laho is not a seller and does not sell.
This time it is a real non-sale product.
Fang Jue was not very fond of Abang Lahoe, but after contact and observation during this period, Abang Lahoe's attitude in training and competitions satisfies him. This is a very hardworking young man.
Attitude is important.
In addition, Abanglaho's speed and impact force are indeed what Aston Villa need.
Not to mention anything else, just in terms of speed, Abanglaho can even be said to be the fastest player in the Premier League.
Another very important point is that Abang Lajo is an Aston Villa youth training player, a local Birmingham, and one of the representative players of this team. A team needs such a well-known player.
Therefore, Fang Jue's attitude towards Abanglaho was very clear: he would not sell.
Strangely, although he had taken a fancy to Abanglaho before, he did not pay attention to the absolute non-selling product. Now, the more Fang Jue thinks, the more he feels, the more he feels that Abanglaho... (the steamed buns that someone snatches) is really delicious.
...
On August 1, 2009, Inter Milan announced an agreement with Real Madrid, and Dutch player Sneider officially joined.
It was on the afternoon of this day that Aston Villa Club officially announced that they had loaned Portuguese star Ricardo Quaresma from Serie A giants Inter Milan. The loan period is one year, and the loan agreement includes a mandatory buyout clause.
This transfer (loan) announcement immediately caused heated discussions among the English media.
The English media generally do not optimistic about Aston Villa's loan to Quaresma.
During the winter break last season, Chelsea also loaned Quaresma, but the Portuguese international's performance was not satisfactory.
Under the former Portugal national team coach Scolari, Quaresma's performance was very bad, and the media and fans had already crossed the prospects of Quaresma's Premier League.
Rory Smith, the author of the British Daily Telegraph, made a prediction about Quaresma's future in Aston Villa: "Why can he perform well in Porto? Because the coach will pamper him like a child... Will Fang Jue do this?"
Rory Smith's words sound pretty good.
5's live broadcast guest, famous football critic Tony Parker, even directly criticized:
Is Fang Jue a fool? (Introducing Quaresma) This is an almost idiotic signing operation.
This gentleman said bluntly that Fang Jue had a very accurate view of people, but now it seems that this is the case.
...
Is this guy okay?
Fang Jue said unhappily.
It is natural that he has his reason for introducing Quaresma.
Of course, the media can also comment on this and criticize it.
However, like Tony Parker, the bastard, it has risen directly to personal attacks.
"Didn't you be mentally prepared long ago?" Papa comforted her husband, "Don't be angry, calm down."
Fang Jue snorted unhappily, "I didn't expect to meet someone who was hitting the car so soon."
Yes, it's just a slap in the car.
Fang Jue understood very well that he and Tony Parker had no grudges in the past and had no grudges recently. This guy fired directly at him. The fact is very simple and direct, that is, Fang Jue.
This is also a common trick for many journalists and media people, among which it is the most "active" in the English media.
I remember when Mourinho was in the Premier League, many people relied on talking with Mourinho to gain both fame and fortune.
Now, Mourinho's big mouth has left, Fang Jue is here.
Although Fang Jue is not a big mouth, as the most popular champion young coach in European football, his fame is not as good as Mourinho, but the problem is that he is handsome, which directly raises Fang Jue's influence to a higher level.
There is a statistics that after Fang Jue coached Aston Villa, British female audiences watched Aston Villa's game and searched the Internet for the number of times Aston Villa and Fang Jue increased.
Talented and beautiful.
This is popularity.
Therefore, there will naturally be people who come up and mess with each other. Tony Parker himself is also a well-known media person and has always been known for his sharp words. It is not surprising that he finds Shang Fangjue at all.
"Actually, this is a good thing," Papa said with a smile.
Papa's theory is very straightforward. Instead of letting some unknown people mess up, famous figures like Tony Parker are more suitable.
"Do you think Mourinho's relationship with the media is really bad?" Papa asked Fang Jue, "Don't look at Mourinho and the media often quarreled, in fact, neither of them can do without anyone."
Putting aside competitive factors, just talking about market value, without media quarrels, Mourinho's influence will be reduced by at least half, Papa said.
Chapter completed!
