Chapter 620 Champions League Draw

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, cheers burst out from Villa Park Stadium.

Aston Villa defeated West Ham United four-one at home.

In the first half, Mane and Ronaldo scored a goal for Aston Villa.

Diego Costa scored twice in the second half.

Aston Villa used a big victory to tell all opponents that as the defending Premier League champions, their strength is still very strong.

After the game, the media hotly discussed Aston Villa's big victory.

While praising Aston Villa's strong strength and good condition, some media also focused on former Chelsea player Shepchenko who came on the bench in the second half of the game.

"Disappointing Ukrainian veteran."

"No surprise, it's the familiar Shepchenko when she was at Chelsea."

With the team leading four to zero, Fang Jue replaced Ronaldo and replaced Shepchenko, giving the "Ukrainian nuclear warhead" more than 20 minutes of playing time.

However, these twenty minutes were the worst time period for Aston Villa to perform in the entire game.

"The Ukrainians are completely out of Aston Villa's offensive system. In twenty-three minutes, they only had one shot and were ridiculously cheated. We saw the familiar Shepchenko again."

Tony Parker was very excited, and he felt that he had grabbed the braids that criticized Fang Jue again.

"It is obvious that introducing Ukrainians was a failure to sign aid from Fang Jue."

"The only role he can play in a expensive substitute with a weekly salary of 50,000 pounds is to be the first time bomb in Aston Villa's locker room."

Shepchenko was in pain.

After he came on stage, he worked very hard and was eager to prove himself.

However, the result was disappointing and even a little depressed.

Fang Jue defended Shepchenko after the game, saying that the Ukrainians had just joined the team and needed to slowly integrate into the team and give Shepchenko time.

"Yes, I want to give him time, Chelsea gave him four years..." The Sun said sarcastically.

After the next day's training.

"Don't pay attention to the media." Fang Jue comforted Shepchenko.

"I'm used to it." Sheva shook her head, "I will adjust it myself."

Shepchenko glanced at the coach and stopped talking.

"The doctor has replied to me. It has been ten days since the appointment." Fang Jue patted Shepchenko's shoulder, "When the time comes, let everyone see a different Sheva!"

Shepchenko nodded silently.

It will take ten days.

He communicated with Ronaldo, and Ronnie told him that the great doctor was very magical. It not only healed his physical injuries and some hidden dangers, but more importantly, he felt several years younger, and that young state and feeling were simply wonderful.

This is what Shepchenko is most looking forward to.

Fang Jue's consideration was very simple to choose to "treat" Shepchenko after a period of time.

Only after being lost and depressed and feeling deeper, will he feel more and more about Coach Vera and Fang Jue... well, he will cherish it more.

The work of introducing Strom is going well.

Although Sparta Rotterdam was not willing to let the young man go, when he learned that Aston Villa coach Fang Jue had taken a fancy to him, Strom was very excited and immediately expressed his decision to play in the Premier League.

With the strong personal intentions of the players, Rotterdam Sparta could only let them go.

They also knew that they could not keep this talented Dutch player, but they didn't expect that the day would come so quickly.

...

On the 21st of the month, Aston Villa's official website announced that the team spent 1 million pounds to introduce 20-year-old Dutch midfielder Kevin Stroman from Rotterdam Sparta in the Eredivisie.

Subsequently, Fang Jue officially announced that the team's transaction ended this summer transfer window.

There will be no more players joining, and no more players leave.

On the 22nd of this month, Aston Villa's team took a family portrait of the new season at Villa's training base, and the team's player number list was finally confirmed.

The media immediately settled the calculations for Aston Villa.

During the entire 2010 summer transfer window, Aston Villa had 9 players left.

Dutch veteran Van Nystruey left with his own transfer and went to Hamburg in the Bundesliga;

Beckham returned to the Los Angeles Galaxy in the Major League;

Young Irish defender O'Haloran, who transferred to Nottingham Forest in the Championship 1.2 million pounds;

Dutch veteran Wilfred Booma joins the Eredivisie team Groningen for £3.5 million;

England's old defender Luke Young, who transferred to Everton in the Premier League, £7.5 million;

The team's captain, Bulgarian player Petrov, joined Arsenal with £500,000;

English local midfielder Leo Cork joins Tottenham Hotspur for 10.5 million pounds;

Portuguese international Quaresma joined Manchester City £30 million;

Colombian player James Rodriguez joined the Portuguese Super League giant Braga on loan with £500,000;

Aston Villa earned a total of £61.7 million by selling and renting players.

Aston Villa also introduced famous players in the transfer market.

German veteran Michael Barack joined freely from Chelsea;

Ukrainian veteran Shepchenko joined freely from Dynamo Kiev;

20-year-old Dutch midfielder Kevin Stroman joined the Dutch Eredivisie team Rotterdam Sparta, with a transfer fee of 1 million pounds;

Young England home defender Danny Ross, who joined from Tottenham Hotspur, had a transfer fee of £4.5 million;

The young England defender Kyle Walker, who was loaned from Manchester City, had a £5 million buyout.

Colombia's young offensive player James Rodriguez joined Argentina League giant Banfield with a transfer fee of £0 million;

The amateur league team Stokes Bridge introduced 'amateur' players Kevin Lee and Jamie Vardy. The two players paid Stokes Bridge a total of 300,000 pounds of training fees.

According to statistics, Aston Villa spent a total of £100,000 on signings.

If you only look at the transfer fee expenditure, Aston Villa spent 100,000 pounds in the transfer market, which is not considered stingy and willing to spend money.

However, considering Aston Villa's input on selling players.

Aston Villa made a net profit of £42.9 million throughout the summer transfer market.

As a team that wants to compete for the Premier League championship and play in the UEFA Champions League, the FA Cup, the English League Cup, and the fourth-line team, the entire transfer market has made more than 40 million pounds. This really makes people (except for envying and drooling) not know what to say.

...

Tony Parker sarcastically said in his column:

Look at Aston Villa's lineup, 39-year-old Friedel, 35-year-old Andy Marshall, 33-year-old Roberto Enke, Barack and Ronaldo... Aston Villa is simply an elderly team.

"I generally don't respond to the nonsense that people with a disease of vision cannot see on both eyes." Fang Jue said at a pre-match press conference with Newcastle in the second round of the league.

"Today, I'll make an exception."

"Aston Villa (first team) has a total of 647 years old, with 25 players, and the average age is 25 years old. Even looking at the entire Premier League, Aston Villa is the most reasonable and relatively young team."

The reporters at the scene were shocked and laughter came from the crowd.

This is the first time they have encountered a head coach responding to such a unique addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

You can't say it, just looking at Aston Villa's three old goalkeepers, as well as veterans such as Barack and Ronaldo, Aston Villa does give people the feeling of being an elderly team.

However, after Fang Jue calculated this, everyone immediately felt different.

Aston Villa is indeed a very young and energetic team.

Coolibali, 19, Mane, 1, Stroman, 20, Danny Ross and Kyle Walker, 21, Bell, 21, Costa, 23, Abonrajo, and 25, Sendross.

Aston Villa has more young people, and there are many players who are 27 or 28 years old and are in their year of playing.

This is indeed a team with three generations of old, middle-aged and young people, and a relatively reasonable age structure.

...

In the second round of the league, Aston Villa was tied 1-1 by Newcastle in the away game.

Shepchenko, who started in this game, performed very badly and was replaced after only halftime.

Abanglaho, who came on the bench, scored an equalizer goal for Aston Villa.

After the game, the media was filled with ridicule and criticism of Shepchenko.

Tony Parker is very excited and active.

This guy said in his column:

"Fang Jue was completely confused. He said that Ukrainians were not good at all. He still stubbornly used Shepchenko. This is a common problem for young coaches. If you achieve a little bit of results, you will be beautiful and become stubborn."

"If Shepchenko can score more than three goals this season, I will eat this microphone!" said Tony Parker, who even said directly.

A private hospital in Birmingham.

Shepchenko woke up from anesthesia.

He rushed to the training ground in a hurry.

"How do you feel?" Fang Jue asked.

"Very, very, very, very, very awesome!" The Ukrainian's expression was excited, and even his eyes were filled with tears.

This relaxed, comfortable feeling, and this youthful feeling have been missing for a long time.

What Ronnie said was true, that mysterious and great doctor was indeed so magical.

"Thank you, coach." Shepchenko was very excited and thanked her sincerely.

The coach spent a lot of effort and even used his personal connections, so the doctor came to Birmingham early to provide him with this treatment.

This is a great kindness.

"Andre, you can return to the court at the best condition and enjoy football happily. This is the happiest thing for me." Fang Jue said with no pride at all, very kind and sincerely.

"I will give you thirty minutes in the next game." Fang Jue said, "Train with peace of mind, be prepared, and shut up those who are waiting to see you jokes!"

In the next game, the third round of the league, Aston Villa will face Arsenal at home.

...

26th of 2010.

afternoon.

Monaco.

At the door of the International Convention and Exhibition Center, reporters gathered, and long spears and short cannons were installed.

This is the draw ceremony for the group stage of the top 32 in the 2010/2011 Champions League, and it is also the award ceremony for the 2009/2010 Champions League Best Team.

"The one who just entered the venue was Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich."

"Bayern Munich head coach Van Gaal led several players including Robben, Olic and Ribery to the scene."

CCTV Sports Channel broadcast the draw ceremony of the Champions League group stage live.

At this time, there was a commotion at the scene.

"Morino is here!" a reporter shouted.

An extended concierge car parked at the entrance of the venue.

The car door was opened by the staff.

Real Madrid head coach Mourinho appeared in the flash work, and the Portuguese in suit and tie can be said to be proud and full of energy.

This was the most glorious moment in his coaching career.

Last season, he led Inter Milan to the Champions League, Serie A and Copa Italy, becoming the first triple-champion in Serie A history.

Subsequently, the Portuguese, who was already "invincible and lonely" in the Serie A arena, was grandly invited by Florentino to rule the Bernabeu as a savior.

Ronaldo, who arrived in the same car with Mourinho, seemed to be low-key this time.

Last summer, the Portuguese joined Real Madrid at a sky-high price that sets football transfer records. However, Real Madrid only won the runner-up in the league last season, and Spain's Copa del Rey was eliminated by the Spanish League team in the top 32.

In the Champions League that Real Madrid values ​​the most, Real Madrid fell to the quarterfinals again.

What embarrassed Real Madrid the most was that the Great Purge of Real Madrid last year drove away Sneijder and almost knocked out free shipping to Inter Milan.

Sneider became the core of the midfield at Inter Milan, helping Inter Milan win the championship.

He gave Robben to Bayern, who reached the finals again after eleven years.

Benzema, the number one player who bought Lyon from Lyon, was sent to the top 16 by Lyon.

The fans even joked: There are four semi-finals in the Champions League, and three semi-finals in the Champions League, and the emperor...

This definitely made Real Madrid very embarrassed and furious, and also made Real Madrid's top card C Ronaldo very embarrassed.

Mourinho stood at the door of the venue and was interviewed by the media.

At this time, the Inter Milan team arrived.

Inter Milan captains Zanetti, Sneider, Macon, Cesar and other players were very happy to see Mourinho.

Everyone came up to shake hands with Mourinho and hugged enthusiastically.

This made Inter Milan coach Benitez look a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, at this time, someone saved Benitez.

A black streamer Rolls-Royce Silver Charm stopped slowly.

Staff opened the car door.

Aston Villa's young and handsome head coach got off the car, seemed surprised that so many people gathered at the door, and saw clearly what was going on and smiled gently.

There is a kind of character called the protagonist.

Aston Villa's champion young coach's sunny smile made people feel that all the preparations and side introductions before, as well as all the people on the scene, were for this person's appearance.

The reporters immediately abandoned Mourinho and others, surrounded him with a flash.

The magic bird's facial skin muscles twitched for a moment and then returned to normal.

"Mr. Mourinho, I have long admired my reputation." Fang Jue did not accept an interview from the media. He strode forward and shook hands with Mourinho.

"Mr. Benitez, we're meeting again." Fang Jue shook hands with Benitez.

Fang Jue greeted Sanetti, Macon and others again.

"Javier, I grew up watching you play football in front of the TV." Fang Jue shook hands with Sanetti and joked.

Mourinho said hell, and he felt that he might as well enter the venue earlier.

It feels like they stay here, just to welcome the big guys to appear.

This guy stole everyone's attention as soon as he appeared.

...

Before the lottery ceremony began, it was a routine speech by a senior UEFA official.

Fang Jue ignored it, he was thinking about the possible draw results of Aston Villa.

Based on the European Championship points in the past five seasons, UEFA's 32 teams shortlisted for the UEFA Champions League group stage are divided into four levels according to the scores.

The defending champion Inter Milan and Barcelona, ​​which ranks first in European clubs, are both in the first place, and the three giants of Premier League Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal are also the first seed teams.

Due to La Liga powerhouse Sevilla's unexpected defeat in the Champions League play-offs and Liverpool, which ranked high in the standings, participated in the UEFA Cup, two teams with the top eight points in Europe missed the Champions League this season.

Therefore, AC Milan and Lyon, who ranked ninth and tenth in points, were lucky enough to be substituted and avoided meeting with strong teams too early.

The second-tier team is full of strong teams, and La Liga giants Real Madrid only ranked second due to their poor performance in the Champions League in the past five seasons. Such a second-tier team that is not inferior to any team will be a headache for any group.

In addition, Werder Bremen, Rome, Benfica, Valencia, Marseille and Panasinaikos are not easy to deal with. In addition, Russia's Moscow Sparta is also a difficult team, and Russia's away game in winter is not easy to deal with.

The fourth tier includes Türkiye's Bursa Sports and Russia's Kazan Rubin.

Aston Villa ranks third.

This means that Aston Villa will likely be assigned to a death group with two giants and a difficult fourth-tier team.
