After losing to Wolves, Chelsea ranked fifth in the league. Although they were only three points away from Manchester City, which was third and Arsenal, which was fourth, there was still great hope for the top four in the league.

However, from the goal of winning the championship to now competing with Arsenal, a player who competed for the fourth place with the four treasures, and Manchester City, the new local tycoon, for the fourth place.

The media predicts that there will be major changes in Chelsea.

The Sun even said with confidence that Ancelotti might be dismissed at any time.

Three days later, the third round of the FA Cup began in full swing.

Fang Jue almost rotated all the main players in the FA Cup, including Stroman, Sidwell, Albrighton, Daniel Ross, Kyle Walker, Silen Clark, etc., starting all the substitute players.

Aston Villa's opponent Sheffield United is currently in a relegation zone in the Championship. They also have a large rotation in this game, and they are obviously indifferent to the FA Cup.

In the end, the bench players of both sides were in the battle.

Aston Villa beat Sheffield United four-1 away.

Valdi, the first team temporarily drawn from the reserve team, came on as a substitute in the game.

And scored his first goal in Aston Villa at the last moment of the game.

Fang Jue has always been very concerned about Vardy.

Although Vardy's performance in the reserve team cannot be said to be amazing, it can be seen that this player has been improving and is working hard to adapt to high-level games.

Currently in the Reserve League, Vardy has played twelve games, with four goals and two assists.

For a player who had only played in the amateur league before, this performance can be said to be very good.

After playing in the FA Cup, Vardy returned to the reserve team again.

Fang Jue made arrangements for Vardy, that the player would first be trained in the reserve team and be properly promoted to the first team for training in the cup.

Fang Jue was not in a hurry for Vardy. After one or two seasons of training, Shevchenko and Ronaldo completed their "mission" in the first team and could just take over.

At that time, Costa, Abonrajo and Vardy will compete for two main positions, introducing a young substitute, and the forward will be worry-free.

...

Media previously reported that Chelsea will make big moves.

After the FA Cup, Chelsea's big moves emerged, not the news that Ancelotti was dismissed.

Major media in England almost simultaneously revealed that after Chelsea's bid for Torres last summer failed, it once again launched an attack on Liverpool's Spanish Golden Boy this winter.

"Fifty million pounds! Chelsea vowed to take Torres!"

The Guardian reported at the first time that Torres and Liverpool had a termination clause of 50 million pounds in the contract extension, and Chelsea was ready to spend 50 million pounds of termination and forced Torres to force him to dig out.

At the beginning, Liverpool fans didn't care much about this report.

Even if the termination clause exists, the primary condition is that Torres decides to leave and the clause will be invalid.

Considering that Torres just completed a contract renewal with Liverpool last summer, Liverpool fans are not too worried about this.

"Torres has officially submitted a transfer application to Liverpool Club!"

On January 11, in the semi-finals of the League Cup, Aston Villa drew 2-2 away with West Ham.

Diego Costa made one pass and one shot in the game, laying a good foundation for Aston Villa to reach the finals.

After the game, the team returned to the bus in the hotel and played the news.

Fang Jue glanced at him and didn't care much about what happened on Chelsea. He didn't care much about it. Chelsea is now 17 points behind Aston Villa, and the Blues have withdrawn from the league championship early.

Chelsea's current situation, even if they buy Torres, it will not pose any threat to Aston Villa.

Therefore, Fang Jue watched the drama of Torres transferring to Chelsea with a lively attitude.

Torres' transfer to Chelsea is progressing rapidly.

After the Spanish Golden Boys submitted their transfer application, angry Liverpool fans began to burn Torres' No. 9 jersey.

With the player's intention to leave, Liverpool's American boss Henry finally nodded and agreed to Chelsea's transfer offer of £50 million.

On January 15, Chelsea officially announced that the team won Liverpool's Spanish scorer Torres for £50 million.

This transfer deal shocked the entire European football world.

This is the most expensive deal in winter transfer history.

The transfer fee of £50 million also set the highest transfer fee record in the Premier League.

The drama ended, and Fang Jue watched it with relish.

On January 16, the 23rd round of the Premier League.

Birmingham Derby.

Aston Villa faced his arch-rivaled rivals away. With goals from Shevchenko and Ronaldo, he led twice, and was tied tenaciously by Birmingham twice.

The two sides finally tied with two draws.

Not only that, there was a conflict between the two sides during the game, and Aston Villa captain Desler was sent off with a red card.

Barack also left the field with injuries.

It can be said to be a very tragic derby.

The media is concerned that Aston Villa has had 4 unbeaten league games after this round of draw.

As long as they don't lose in the next game, they will tie Arsenal's 49 unbeaten record.

Moreover, very interesting and coincidentally, Aston Villa's opponent in the next league game is Arsenal:

Aston Villa will challenge Arsenal at Emirates Stadium!

"Arsenal will face the opportunity to defend its honor!"

"This is a script that even a family cannot write!"

The media was excited.

The Premier League broadcaster also announced in advance that the away game between Aston Villa and Arsenal will be broadcast live around the world.

Fang Jue attaches great importance to this game. In his opinion, this is not just an opportunity to tie Arsenal's unbeaten record.

If the team can beat Arsenal, who must defend its honor, to some extent, it can also be regarded as another symbol of Aston Villa's strong rise.

The new king always ascends the throne by stepping on the corpse of the old king!

...

Vera Training Base.

"What's this?"

As soon as he arrived at the office, Fang Jue saw two documents on his desk.

After looking through it, Fang Jue's face turned gloomy.

Two documents, one is a purchase fax from Liverpool, and Liverpool officially seeks to acquire Aston Villa striker Diego Costa.

After losing Torres, Liverpool urgently needed to sign on the front line, and their target was set on Diego Costa.

Fang Jue was not surprised that some teams were interested in Costa, and was a little surprised at Liverpool's purchase, but it was not surprising.

The reason why he changed his face and was in a bad mood was another document.

This is the transfer application submitted by Diego Costa to the club.

Obviously, Liverpool's bid to buy Costa and Costa for transfer applications is definitely not an isolated incident.

It can be imagined that Liverpool has had private contact with Costa or Costa’s agent Mendes, and has received positive responses and even promises.

Costa then submitted the transfer application.

Fang Jue was very angry.

He picked up his cell phone and dialed the number, which was called to Costa’s agent Mendes.

The child's grandfather was suddenly attacking and his elbow was turning outward!

...

When Fang Jue called, Mendes was walking his baby to the sun.

Marina's child is over one year old, the little guy has red lips and white teeth, and that handsome.

The old man looked at his grandson, his eyes full of love.

At this time, Mendes' cell phone rang.

Seeing the call number, Mendes snorted and hung up directly.

The bell rings again resolutely.

Mendes hung up again.

The ringtone rang again.

Mendes pinched the baby grandson's tender face, "San Diego, do you think you want to pick it up?"

Santiago is the name of the little guy, and its full name is Santiago Joseph Mendes.

Joseph comes from the name of Mendes' ancestors. Santiago is the name Marina insists on. Mendes seriously suspects that this is the name given to the child by someone.

Little Santiago lifted his tender little hand and pointed to the phone that kept calling.

"Little unconscience." Mendes glared at his baby grandson, picked up his phone, and pressed the answer button.
Chapter completed!
