Chapter 847 You are the strongest, you are the best! (Monthly Pass)
Barcelona's "Information Team" soon received news:
Sendros' injury doesn't seem to be big, but it seems to be quite troublesome. Coupled with some of the original old injuries, it will take at least one month to return to the court.
Guardiola was worried and asked the "intelligence department" to keep an eye on this matter and report any abnormal situations at any time.
Guardiola was fooled in the Champions League final last season, and this time, he will remain highly vigilant.
Fang Jue was not aware of the news that Barcelona's "intelligence department" entered Birmingham.
He is worried about Aston Villa's next devil schedule.
Two days later, the FA Cup quarterfinals.
Aston Villa beat Everton 2-0 away:
In the first half, Ha Mei's beautiful slash pass assisted Abanglaho to score.
In the second half, Thornton passed the penalty area with a low pass from the wing, and Bentner scored a goal in front of the goal.
After the game, Fang Jue "fired" at the FA in the press conference.
He was very dissatisfied with Aston Villa's next devil schedule.
...
"In other leagues, when setting schedules, the difficulties of teams who are likely to participate in the Champions League knockout stage will be fully considered, and will be given certain care."
"But let's see, what's happening with Aston Villa?"
Fang Jue has not forgotten to sarcastically mocked Tony Parker, "Dear Mr. Parker has been saying that we are taken care of, yes, that's how we are taken care of."
No wonder Fang Jue was in a bad mood.
Check out Aston Villa's next schedule:
A few days later, there was a Premier League match, away against Bolton.
Then just three days later, in the 30th round of the Premier League, Aston Villa was visiting the Emirates Stadium and faced Arsenal for the third time this season.
Four days later, on March 28, in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Aston Villa played against Barcelona at Camp Nou.
Four days later, on April 1, Aston Villa faced Chelsea at home in the 31st round of the Premier League.
Three days later on April 4, Aston Villa played Barcelona at home in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
Three days later on April 7, in the 32nd round of the Premier League, Aston Villa was visiting Anfield Stadium and played against Liverpool.
Three days later, on April 10, Aston Villa played against Stoke at home, which was the 33rd round of the league.
Three days later, on April 13, the FA Cup semi-finals, Aston Villa faced Liverpool at the New Wembley Stadium.
Four days later, on April 17, the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, of course, this requires Aston Villa to be able to pass Barcelona in the quarterfinals first. Once they can defeat Barcelona, the opponent in this game will basically be Real Madrid.
In this way, it took just one full month and thirty days to play nine games, with an average of nearly three days per game, including:
In the league, they met Arsenal and Chelsea, Liverpool, Barcelona in the Champions League, Liverpool again in the FA Cup, and Real Madrid after reaching the semi-finals.
...
The boss spoke, and the other senior executives of Aston Villa naturally had to respond.
Aston Villa club CEO Bob Clarke questioned that perhaps Aston Villa won the Premier League for two consecutive seasons, which made some people feel bored, so it caused some trouble for Aston Villa.
The FA responded quickly to Fang Jue and Aston Villa’s complaints and criticisms:
The league schedule is very fair, please shut up.
Meanwhile, the FA announced:
Aston Villa's head coach who was inappropriate was fined £20,000.
Aston Villa Club was fined £50,000.
"Punish me! Punish me!" Fang Jue was so angry.
Although he is already a billionaire, this fine is a drop in the bucket for him, but why should I pay me a fine?
However, all Fang Jue could do was to complain in private.
Not to mention him, even the respected Ferguson or Wenger can only shut up when faced with this situation.
In the league sub-game with Bolton, Aston Villa was tied by his opponent zero-to-zero away.
Klose once scored a goal, but the foul was called first and the goal was cancelled.
This is also the reason why Fang Jue chose to shut up.
The arm can't twist the thigh.
The Birmingham Evening News said without hesitation after the game that this was a small warning from the FA to Aston Villa.
Of course, Aston Villa is indeed in a relatively average form in this game, which is the biggest reason why they are not able to win. Otherwise, with Aston Villa's strength, winning two or three goals by Bolton is not a problem.
...
After the away game against Bolton, Aston Villa did not return to Birmingham, but set out directly to London to prepare for the subsequent 30th round of the Premier League against Arsenal.
Before Aston Villa's away game with Arsenal, a stunning scene occurred, and the head coaches of the two teams, Fang Jue and Wenger, praised each other.
First, Fang Jue fired sugar-coated shells at Arsenal. He said that Arsenal today "is likely the strongest team in the Premier League, no, or even the best team in the whole of Europe."
Fang Jue shows the facts and lists the data. Arsenal has been unbeaten in seven rounds of the Premier League, and in these seven league games, Arsenal won six of the games, but was tied by his opponent.
He scored 19 points in seven games, making him the team with the most points in the last seven rounds of the Premier League, and even scored two more points than Aston Villa!
Arsenal's Premier League rankings have risen from seventh place in the league to fourth place in the league, leading one point ahead of the throne of the fourth place that has been long-term, and now the fifth place Tottenham Hotspur!
What does this mean? Seven games ago, Arsenal was seventh, trailing fourth place Tottenham Hotspur by as much as 10 points. In seven games, Arsenal chased 11 points!
Fang Jue said this from the bottom of his heart. Arsenal, who entered the rhythm of a murderous devil, is really difficult to deal with now. He is no longer the fun companion who allows Aston Villa to take it.
What's more, Aston Villa is a little "weak".
Wenger threw it back without hesitation for Fang Jue's praise of "the best team in Europe".
"When the head coach of a team who wins at least four or five goals every time he plays with us, he praises us as the strongest team, my first reaction is - what conspiracy does this guy have?" Wenger said with a smile.
Then, Wenger changed his tone and began to praise Aston Villa.
“Aston Villa won six championships last year and they are still the best team in the world. Every time we play against Aston Villa, we feel very, very difficult.
I'm not complimenting for compliments, let us all feel what a powerful team Aston Villa is, with a very outstanding head coach, and that's the reality."
Fang Jue was unhappy: I said, you are the most powerful ones.
Wenger: No, you are the strongest, don’t even think about breastfeeding me!
Fang Jue: I can only take enough measures and I will breastfeed you.
Wenger: Reject! Refusal to you!
British media reported on the sudden compliment between Fang Jue and Wenger:
"You said I was the strongest in Europe, I said you were the best in the world"...
Domestic melon-eating fans were also happy to watch it, saying that the skill of the two coaches spraying each other's poisonous milk has reached the pinnacle.
Just like the lyrics in Cui Jian's old song "The Flower House Girl": You say I am the strongest in the world, I say you are the kindest in the world...
Of course, there were different voices. Tony Parker excitedly asserted: Fang Jue was crazy about Arsenal, not because he wanted to poison the opponent, but because he was really afraid! Facing the four-man in Arsenal, who lacked soldiers and had to be distracted by the Champions League quarter-finals with Barcelona for a few days later, Fang Jue was afraid that Villa would lose!
Tony Parker mocked Fang Jue and praised Arsenal, but Wenger was not grateful.
"I don't think Fang Jue is afraid of anything, because he has the best team!"
The professor also deeply remembers that Tony Parker had done several consecutive episodes of sketches about Arsenal's "selling captains" and had a very bad impression of this person.
At the same time, the professor emphasized again that Arsenal is not a 'four-fighting monster'. "The results are good, just because we suddenly come to this period of time every season. This is a wonderful phenomenon, just like Aston Villa suddenly becomes so perfect."
Even the media expressed "speechless" about the two sides' poisonous milk to each other in this regard.
Perhaps it was because Nara and Poison Milk's kung fu were of equal importance. In the end, in this focus game, Arsenal tied Aston Villa 1-1 at home.
Van Persie and Mane scored goals for both sides respectively.
Fang Jue rotated some of the main players in this game and prepared for the away focus battle at Camp Nou a few days later.
Arsenal tied Aston Villa 1-1 - this is also the first time Arsenal did not lose and got points in eight matches with Aston Villa in three consecutive seasons.
Arsenal finally tied a game after six consecutive victories.
Aston Villa suffered two consecutive draws in the league.
After this game, Aston Villa's advantage in the Premier League standings was narrowed, leading only 5 points ahead of the second place Manchester United.
The Guardian made a comic:
Fang Jue: You are the strongest!
Wenger: You are the best!
Ferguson held his head high and pushed open the door. Fang Jue and Wenger on both sides were squeezed flat. The old Scottish man looked around with a domineering attitude: Who is talking nonsense?
Outside the door, Mancini, whose eyes were flashing, hid behind a pillar and looked at him "sneakyly".
PS: Thank you very much for the reward [Kind Black Bear]. I asked everyone for some monthly tickets, thank you very much.
