Chapter 762 Deisler's Decision
The club from London to Birmingham is 117 miles.
It's just a two-hour drive.
Aston Villa's bus is on its way back from London to Birmingham.
There are more than ten miles from the arrival of Birmingham, and crowds and vehicles can be seen on the road.
These are the fans who came to welcome the entire Aston Villa team.
In fact, on the way back from London to Birmingham, Aston Villa's bus was escorted back by many Villa fans. These were fans who came to London to watch the finals, and they chose to cheer and escort Villa's team back.
"Here is here! Here!"
There is a banner here that says: "Twenty-nine years of waiting - the European champion belongs to Villa!"
In the bus, Aston Villa's players were drowsy and some were snoring.
After winning the championship last night, the whole team held a carnival all night in the hotel where they were staying, and everyone was a little tired.
Only a few people barely woke up at this time, but they were not energetic.
Fang Jue is one of the few who is still awake. It’s not that he is not tired or that his brain is too excited, but that he has something to do.
Just last night, Deisler found Fang Jue, and the German veteran told Fang Jue about his decision.
Fang Jue was shocked.
His first reaction was: ‘Retirement? Come again?’
The second reaction was: ‘Can’t you get sick again, isn’t it?’
Soon, Fang Jue felt a little relieved. Desler didn't look like he had relapsed with depression. He spoke with a relaxed tone and a happy smile.
Fang Jue tried to keep Desler. Desler's decision was too sudden and Fang Jue was unprepared.
However, soon after listening to Desler's reasons, Fang Jue was a little silent.
Deisler said bluntly that he was a little tired. He won the Champions League championship this time. He has fulfilled his personal dream of a professional player. He wants to retire and rest, enjoy life well, and spend more time with his family.
If it were someone else, Fang felt that he was pointing at the nose and scolding. He was only 31 and a half years old, so he wanted to retire and enjoy it. Do you hear that this is human words?
However, Fang Jue really dared not beat and scold Deisler.
Although Desler's depression has been cured, no one can guarantee that it will recur in the mental discipline.
After careful consideration, Fang Jue himself had to recognize Desler's choice to retire now. Perhaps Desler himself had made careful considerations, and it was more appropriate for the players personally.
When Deisler was in the Bundesliga, he won the Bundesliga championship and the German Cup with Bayern Munich; in Spain, Ibiza won the La Liga championship, Spain's Copa del Rey and the UEFA Cup, and in Aston Villa, he won two Premier League titles, two English League Cup titles, and now he has won the UEFA Champions League championship.
In terms of personal honor, Deisler has no regrets at the club level.
In fact, Fang Jue has also learned in recent years that Germans are not as diligent as everyone imagines. Of course, they are indeed very rigorous and dedicated, but once their dreams are realized, they would rather return more time to their lives and families.
In the end, Fang Jue agreed to Deisler's "absurd" request to retire at the age of 31 and a half.
Of course, considering that Deisler announced his retirement once at the age of 27, it might not feel ridiculous.
Deisler hugged Fang Jue, and the other party expressed his gratitude.
Fang Jue accepted the gratitude from the old captain of his team.
He felt that he deserved Desler's gratitude.
If it weren't for him, Deisler retired four and a half years ago. Now, in the past four and a half years, Deisler's career has added La Liga champion, Spanish Cup champion, UEFA Cup champion, Spanish Super Cup champion, Premier League champion, English League Cup champion, English Charity Shield Cup champion, UEFA Champions League champion!
If the retirement four and a half years ago was sad, now, although Desler announced his retirement, it will shock many people, but it can also be regarded as a retirement after success and retreating to the world.
At last night's celebration banquet, Deisler also announced that he was about to retire.
This is also a formal farewell to the teammates before the team is disbanded during holidays.
Hearing Deisler's decision to retire, the whole team was shocked.
Everyone is reluctant to retire Desler.
However, since Desler has made the decision, everyone can only choose to accept it.
We are all professional players, and we are used to breaking and getting back together, and have stronger acceptance skills.
...
Fans come to welcome the entire Aston Villa team.
It's not just a cross-channel welcome and pulling banners.
Aston Villa Club is still ready, and the double-decker cruising floats have also arrived, so I have been waiting for a long time.
"Guys, let's change the championship float!" Fang Jue clapped his hands.
"Everything is more energetic, you are all European champions!"
Seeing Aston Villa's bus stop, the reporters and welcome fans rushed forward, and the police responsible for maintaining order also acted quickly. There were too many people, and if there was a stampede, it would be a disaster.
The bus door was opened.
The first person to get out of the car was the team's substitute goalkeeper Friedel.
He held the Champions League trophy: Big Ear Cup!
It turned out that it wasn't the captain who came out with a big ear cup?
The reporters and fans were surprised.
Then they saw that the players got out of the car one after another, and each of them took the championship trophy from their teammates in front and raised it high, which attracted huge cheers from the fans on the scene.
"This must be Fang Jue's idea. He is very good at creating atmosphere." A reporter muttered at the scene.
"This is very useful, isn't it? The players are very moved."
The three players who are ranked behind are Barack, Shevchenko and Ronaldo, who are certain to leave the team after the end of the season.
When they held up their big ear cups high, cheers were heard all over the place, and the fans sent applause and cheers of gratitude and blessings to the veterans.
Finally, Fang Jue and the team captain Sebastian Deisler appeared together. They took the big ear cup from the team's second captain Abanglaho. The two of them, one left and one right, carried the big ear cup and climbed the second floor of the parade float. Other players and coaches were already waiting on it.
Standing on the second floor of the parade float, Fang Jue and Deisler held the UEFA Champions League trophy high.
A heat wave storm broke out on the scene!
The fans shouted excitedly, cheered, and the flashes on the scene.
"Dear viewers... we saw coach Fang Jue and the team captain Desler lifting the trophy high together, and they held up the UEFA Champions League trophy together!" Aston Villa's return and the championship celebration were live. BBC5 bought out the copyright of Aston Villa's championship celebration. BBC official did not disclose the copyright fee, but the media speculated that it was at least several million pounds.
The live TV broadcast gave Fang Jue and Deisler a close-up of the trophy in their hands.
"Yes, this is the European Championship trophy. Aston Villa once won him 29 years ago. Now, after twenty-nine years, Aston Villa has once again stood at the top of Europe. In addition to Aston Villa, Real Madrid has won nine championships, and A.C. Milan won seven championships..."
The parade floats were running slowly, with fans and vehicles everywhere in front and behind the car.
Aston Villa fans have already ‘contracted’ this section of the road at this moment.
The Big Ear Cup rotated in the hands of the players, and everyone climbed to the second level, lifted him one by one, enjoying the huge cheers of the fans.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely warm.
Some players were tired of blowing and went down to the first floor to rest, where there were wine cabinets, bar counters, and sofas. Today they were eligible for these.
The parade float headed towards Birmingham City Hall.
Fang Jue held the championship trophy high with Deisler for the second time.
The craziest cheers and applause broke out again at the scene.
Fang Jue made a pause gesture, indicating that he had something to say.
The scene, which was originally extremely noisy, slowly became quiet, and even the driving fans who kept honking the horn and celebrating with Hi-People also became quiet.
Fang Jue took the microphone from Abanglaho.
"Hey! Guys!" Fang Jue raised his voice and shouted as if he was directing the game loudly on the sidelines. "Twenty-nine years ago, the team stood at the top of Europe. This is the glory of Aston Villa, the glory engraved in Aston Villa's blood and soul!"
"That's right!" The fans at the scene cheered wildly.
"Now Coach Fang Jue is giving a speech on the showroom, and the atmosphere on the scene is very warm..." The host of BBC5 said to the microphone.
"Two years ago, my wife and I bought Aston Villa together. Do you know why I chose Villa?" Fang Jue yelled.
The scene was quiet.
"If I tell you, I have been a Villa fan since I was a child." Fang Jue said, "that must have been a lie to you."
"Hahaha." The fans at the scene burst into laughter.
"Papa and I had many choices at that time, so we analyzed them together." Fang Jue said, "In the end, we pointed to Aston Villa's team badge almost at the same time! Why?"
"Because I am familiar with this team, I am familiar with his history, I know him, and the more I understand him, the more I find that I have a little like it." Fang Jue said loudly.
There was a lot of cheers at the scene.
"Papa told me that such a long-standing club and a great club should not be in their current position. He should return to his position, dominate the Premier League, and top Europe."
"I said to Papa, you're right!"
Fang Jue shouted loudly, "Then, we chose Villa! A great, long-standing club that people have to fall in love with!"
"Yes, I fell in love with him. Since I came to Birmingham and since I chose Villa, I found that I loved her day by day. I said to myself in surprise that my choice was completely correct, I love her! Aston Villa!" Fang Jue shouted loudly.
"square!"
"square!"
"square!"
The fans were excited and shouted.
"What should I do if I love her? Take her back to where she should be, take her to appreciate the scenery that is highly anticipated, take her to the peak of the starry sky!"
"Two years!" Fang Jue raised two fingers, "We were the Premier League double champion last year. This year, we dominate again. After twenty-nine years of waiting, two years, we did it, twenty-nine years later, we are back! Villa's flag is flying, and Villa's singing is loud! We tell the whole world that we are Aston Villa, we are the king of Europe, we--"
He signaled Deisler to raise his big ear cup with him and shouted, "Here is back! Return to the top of glory we should be!"
The players and fans at the scene followed their head coach and shouted wildly to the sky.
The words Fang Jue said were transmitted to various places through live broadcasts. The Aston Villa fans in front of the TV were completely crazy, and Fang Jue's fans were also excited.
Too domineering!
So handsome!
Amid the crazy shouting, the blonde host on the scene almost screamed to make sure that her voice was conveyed: "Coach Fang Jue's wonderful speech ignited the atmosphere on the scene, and the fans were all crazy. Coach Vera told them that the championship was just the beginning, they were back, and other European giants, have you seen it?"
Soon, the local Birmingham police arranged by the mount police and the police car arrived to meet, and the fans and vehicles that followed along were persuaded to leave. For safety reasons, fans were only allowed to gather on foot to follow Aston Villa's parade floats.
After arriving at Birmingham City Hall, the team was received and congratulated by senior officials such as the Mayor and Speaker of Birmingham.
Subsequently, Aston Villa's team appeared in the corridor of the city hall and received the cheers of more than 100,000 fans gathered in the municipal square and even the extended area.
At this moment, Fang Jue delivered a speech again, and he also announced the news that the team captain Desler decided to retire after the end of the season, that is, tomorrow.
The fans at the scene were shocked. The news was too sudden.
Although Deisler has only been to Aston Villa for two years, the German veteran performed very well, which can be said to be the absolute core of Aston Villa. Moreover, because he was the direct descendant brought by Fang Jue from Ibiza, with Fang Jue's outstanding performance in coaching Aston Villa, fans are very supportive of Fang Jue, and Aiwu and Uk are more satisfied with Deisler. Of course, Deisler's performance is worthy of the fans' love.
Especially yesterday, Deisler, as the captain of Aston Villa, held the Champions League championship at the New Wembley Stadium. This will be the meritorious captain who has been recorded in Aston Villa's history, and fans' love for Deisler has also taken the next level.
At this moment, Fang Jue told everyone that Desler decided to retire, and the fans suddenly accepted it.
Fang Jue then delivered a speech, praised his favorite players harshly, reviewing Deisler's contribution to Aston Villa. He even scored every goal and every assist to Deisler, and he was able to play every wonderful performance at once, shocking everyone and making the fans on the scene even more excited, filled with his love and reluctance for Deisler.
"Basti told me that he was able to make his own insignificant contributions to the team and stand at the top of Europe. He was very satisfied. He wanted to rest and he wanted to spend more time with his family." Fang Jue said.
He looked at the dark fans and raised his voice, "I don't want to let it go, but I understand his choice, I thank him for his contribution to Villa, and I wish him all the best in the future."
As he said that, Fang Jue turned his head and looked at Desler, "Basti, it's my honor to be able to work with you for four and a half years."
Deisler looked at Fang Jue, and the German veteran's eyes were red.
"It is my greatest pride and pride to be able to play football under your hands! It is my greatest honor!"
Chapter completed!
