The Glory of the Godfather

For Aston Villa, Randy Lerner lowered the asking price.

However, the asking price of 110 million pounds, in the eyes of Fang Jue and Papa, is still high.

Of course, in Randy Lerner’s view, his current asking price is already more sincere. You must know that just two years ago, the Icelandic tycoon bought the West Ham United Club wholly-owned, and the purchase price was as high as 6 million pounds. Ston Villa is still stronger than West Ham United. In terms of historical status, Aston Villa once won the European Champions Cup, and his background is heavier than West Ham. He offered 110 million. Sterling is very reasonable.

In fact, both parties are very clear that the negotiation has progressed to the current level, and the possibility of successfully reaching an acquisition/transfer agreement is already high. What is left is to continue bargaining on the purchase amount, and the bargaining space is actually not so large.

As the saying goes, people are handsome, and good fortune.

In addition to the good news from Aston Villa, there is also good news, that is, in a later La Liga focus match, Barcelona was strongly blocked by the Bats at the Mestalla Stadium. In the first half of the game, Barcelona relied on Messi and Eto’o’s goals to lead Valencia 2-0. Perhaps the lead in the first half was too smooth. In the second half, Guardiola put Messi and Xavi early in the game. Replaced, he wants to stay for the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final home and Chelsea next week.

However, excessive relaxation and self-confidence cost Guardiola and Barcelona. In the second half of the game, David Silva and David Villa scored successively to help Valencia chase two goals in a row to equalize the score and set the score. It's two to two!

At the press conference after the match, Guardiola refused to admit that he underestimated the enemy. He praised Valencia for playing well and emphasized that Barcelona's players were exhausted. However, Guardiola refused to admit defeat. He still insisted that Barcelona still There is a chance to win the league.

...

However, the media may not think so:

Barcelona's almost acquired three-pointer turned into one point. In this case, with five rounds left in the league, Barcelona again fell behind Ibiza by as much as 11 points.

After the game, the "Daily Sports Daily" directly lamented that'the suspense of the La Liga championship has almost disappeared. ’

"Marca" pokes Barcelona's heart more directly: no suspense! We can now say that the champion belongs to Ibiza!

"Radio Serre" made a blunt prediction based on the schedule: Ibiza will win the league title after the 35th round of the league. As long as they win the next two league rounds, no matter what Barcelona No one can stop Ibiza from winning the championship!

Regarding the statement of "Radio Serre", Fang Jue unexpectedly failed to express his usual humble attitude when interviewed by Spanish national television. This young and handsome talented coach issued a confident championship declaration: Yes, again. Win two games, we are the champions, I hope so. "

"Mr. Mayor (Ibiza) told me that the island was already preparing for a grand parade to win the championship. He asked me if I had the confidence to win the championship. I looked at him in surprise and asked him, is there anyone else who can stop us from winning the championship? ?!

Fang Jue’s hard-line and confident attitude has attracted media coverage. Although many people may be upset, no one said he was arrogant, because the results he led the team and the current championship situation, He is qualified to say such confident words, this is not bragging, this is telling the truth!

"Why didn't Fang Jue say this before a few rounds of matches, why did he say this now?" "Team News" reporter David Copperfield asked in his column, "This is a very smart, even some A sly talented coach, he knows that his team cannot lose three games in the remaining five rounds, and he has the chance to win now."

The translation of these words is, pretend to compare, to pretend to be the most sure of!

...

On April 30th, in the UEFA Cup semi-finals, Ibiza played home against Bundesliga team Hamburg.

The first half of the game has ended and now enters the intermission.

The score on the electronic scoreboard of the Ibiza Athletic Stadium is: Ibiza 0:1 Hamburg!

Just nine minutes into the first half of the game, Ibiza’s veteran midfielder Makelele was sent off with a red card. Makelele raised his arm during the scramble and hit the Hamburg midfielder Yarolim’s On the face, the latter fell to the ground in pain. The referee believed that Makelele had deliberately elbowed and directly showed a red card.

Fang Jue was furious on the sidelines. In his opinion, a yellow card was enough, because Makelele hit Arolim in the face unintentionally, and it was not a very bad intentional elbow.

This red card was completely an accident and disrupted Fang Jue’s tactical deployment to the team. Ibiza played passively throughout the first half of the game, and was taken 30 minutes by the Hamburg Croatia striker Olic in the first half. After more than a few minutes, the goal was to grab some points, and the score was rewritten as one to zero.

"Guys, you did a pretty good job." Hamburg coach Martin Jol said, looking at his players.

"Now we have a one-to-zero lead, but this is not enough. They are one less person now. What we have to do in this game is to continue to score goals and strive for a big score to win."

"Remember, our goal is to turn the second round of the game into a cutscene." Martin Jol said with excitement. Before the game, he was still worried. The trouble was in the two-line battle between the league and the UEFA Cup. How to choose between, the UEFA Cup enters the semi-finals, and the final is in sight. In the league, Hamburg currently ranks fifth in the Bundesliga with 54 points. It seems that the ranking is not good, but look at the front of the Hamburg team. Points for the team:

Stuttgart and Hamburg rank fourth with 54 points, Bayern Munich also ranks third with 54 points, Hertha Berlin ranks second with 55 points, and Wolfsburg ranks first with 57 points. Therefore, despite the fact that the Hamburg team ranked fifth, but they are very close to the previous points. With five rounds of competition in the league, they are three points behind the top Wolfsburg. They already have the hope of winning the championship. In one step, it is also very promising to reach the top three in the league and compete for a place in the European Champions Cup next season.

In fact, Martin Jorne has been inclined to selectively abandon the UEFA Cup. If the away game against Ibiza loses, he can concentrate on the league championship.

Unexpectedly, the referee was so helpful and sent Makelele off. Martin Joel saw an away win, even a big score win, and achieved the league and the UEFA Cup at the same time-even won the double crown. Hopes and possibilities.

Therefore, during the fifteen minutes of the intermission, Martin Jol was very happy and very happy.

Bundesliga champion, UEFA Cup champion, double crown, this is the rhythm to take off, he has a feeling that he wants to be the protagonist.

...

In the home team's locker room, Fang Jue was also making final arrangements.

Compared with Martin Jol, who was still struggling with the choice between the league and the UEFA Cup, Fang Jue had no such troubles. The lead in the league allowed him to fight desperately in the UEFA Cup.

"The first fifteen minutes of the second half of the game is very important. Although it is not possible to judge whether the Hamburg team will counterattack conservatively or press out to attack, I emphasize that no matter what, I don't want to see another goal conceded, even if it is sacrificed offensively. , We must also defend well and stop losing the ball. If the Hamburger is two goals ahead, we will be very passive."

Fang Jue looked serious, "After fifteen minutes, we will speed up."

"Mata and Royce, I need you to be more active on the flank, torn their sides in turn."

"Robert (Lewandowski), in the second half of the game, what you think is to play for your teammates. Marco (Royce), Juan (Mata) and Basti (Desler) have to work hard to find shots. ."

The defenders of the Bundesliga are all high-ranking defenders. Alba and Mata on Ibiza’s side are physically disadvantaged. Therefore, Lewandowski, who is strong in confrontation, needs to bear more in this game. The role of bridgehead.

"White (Clement), your task is very heavy. The team needs you to work harder." Fang Jue said. After Makelele was sent off by a red card, Fang Jue replaced Corosa with Clemente. Si, the team has only Clemente midfielder on the court, his defensive task is very heavy.

...

The second half of the game began.

The Hamburg team took advantage of their first kick-off to launch an attack on Ibiza, and continued to exert pressure to take the initiative on the court.

Fang Jue curled his lips, he really didn't see that the Hamburg team was really not satisfied with a one-to-zero lead, and even wanted to score goals. This is how to look down on the La Liga leaders.

Yes, although there is one less player in the team, Fang Jue still has confidence in his team. The ten-man Ibiza is not something that the Hamburg team can underestimate.

The Hamburg team's offensive strategy is very simple. They frequently use the wing to find the middle. Olic is good at seizing opportunities in front of the goal. In addition, the Hamburg team's Cameroon center Supomotin is as tall as 191cm, and his header ability is naturally good.

However, Fang Jue is not worried about the team’s air defense. Ibiza’s two central defenders Humels and Koscielny are both very tall and have excellent header skills. In addition, Dutch defender Bola Luz is also good at heading. It’s the ball, so don’t look at the Hamburg team from the flank to launch an offensive and play lively, but it did not really threaten Ibiza’s goal.

"If it were me, I would specialize in the middle." Fang Jue said to his assistant Ceballos, "We only have Clemente in the middle. This may be a breakthrough."

Ceballos thoughtfully.

"Why didn't Joel do this?"

"This is the difference between an ordinary coach and a talented coach." Fang Jue said with a smile, "Ordinary coaches will only use their own fixed tactics for the team to fight the world, and will not make better plans on the spot."

Ceballos ignored a shameless item.

"What if Hamburg does this?" he asked.

"Relax, we have Clement."

...

Trochevsky tried to pass the ball to Olic, but his passing intention was prejudged by Clement, but the pass was interrupted by Clement!

Ibiza strikes back!

Clement passed the ball to Deisler, Deisler did not choose to take the ball himself, but went straight forward!

In the frontcourt, Lewandowski carried the Hamburg defender De Meer, who jumped high and flew the header...

The football flew diagonally to the rear, and Mata was plugging in at high speed!

The Hamburg team was bent on scoring again, and they pressed very hard. At this time, the entire Hamburg team's backcourt was only center-back Matteisen and Grafgarde.

The Hamburg goalkeeper Rost was so angry that he jumped his feet and shouted for help: He didn't feel that when the Hamburg team was pressing just now, he reacted and panicked a lot-why is our backcourt so empty?

"I'm on." Mattison greeted him, and he motioned Grafgard to stay behind as the last line of defense.

Mattisson is very decisive in choosing a tactical foul, anyway, there is Grafgard behind, at most a yellow card, not a red card.

He chose the sliding shovel.

However, the Dutch defender underestimated Mata's dexterity and skill. Before Matteisen's sliding shovel touched the football, the ball was stabbed away by Mata. Then the young Ibiza star leaped lightly and avoided Mattesen. Flying shovel.

"Pretty!"

"Breakthrough!"

Mata drove the ball straight in. Lewandowski was running. He raised his arm to signal that Mata could pass the ball.

Mata, who had already driven the ball into the penalty area, looked at the situation in the penalty area and chose to sweep the football out.

"Ibiza counterattacked...Mata was fast! Beautiful, Mattason was broken-Mata, he passed the ball! Lewandowski, shot! Threw out...re-shot!!" Dolore Si spoke extremely fast, like a machine gun, and the audience's hearts were lifted.

Lewandowski carried Grafgard and shot in front of the goal. However, the Hamburg goalkeeper Rost made a beautiful save. He stretched his leg to block and the football bounced. Before the Hamburgers cleared the football, Roy Si rushed up swiftly and shoveled the football into the net!

...

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooool!"

Cheers resounded at the Ibiza Athletic Stadium and Fang Jue clapped vigorously. His tactics were correct.

Martin Jol's face is not very good-looking, he still wants to expand the score and strive for the first round to lock the qualification, but he did not expect to be equalized by Ibiza now.

Thinking of the sharpness of Ibiza’s counterattack, Martin Jol was also very heady. He finally became sober at this time. He realized that even if one was sent off early, Ibiza is still not the Hamburg team. Eat it in one bite, this is the leader of La Liga.

Martin Jol made a decisive decision. The one-to-one score was also good. In the draw, he scored an away goal. Well, that's not bad.

With an order from Martin Joel, the Hamburg team began to shrink the defense.

Ibiza became more and more courageous and began to attack the Hamburg team's goal frequently, and their offensive began.

After being unable to attack for a long time, Fang Jue chose to give it a go. He replaced Alba with Modric.

Ibiza changed into a 351 formation and continued to put pressure on it.

This substitution and gambling-style attack has paid off. The game lasted 86 minutes~www.ltnovel.com~Ibiza got the opportunity to set the ball in the front court, and Desler took a free kick into the penalty area. Wandowski headed for the top, the football bounced on his back. Hamburg defender De Meer did not make a complete clearance. Modric rushed up and the football jumped up from the goalkeeper’s left hand. Snatch into the net.

"Goooooooooooooooooool!"

"Two to one! Two to one! Luca Modric! Luca Modric! Fang Jue's substitutions and adjustments received miraculous results. Modric scored and Ibiza took the lead. This is really true. Unexpectedly, Ibiza was one less person for nearly eighty minutes, but they have now overtaken the score!"

On the sidelines, raised his fists to the sky. The people on the coaching bench and bench behind him rushed out and cheered.

Modric, who finished the shot, was squeezed to the ground. At this time, the Croatian star got up from the ground. He opened his arms and ran to the side in excitement. Behind him were Lewandowski and Mata shouting and running crazy. As well as Deisler and others, more Ibiza players gathered from all directions. The live broadcast had a high-altitude scene. This scene was really spectacular, and the whole stadium was like an earthquake.

PS: It's another big chapter, ask for a monthly pass.
