The Glory of the Godfather

Kearney training base.

The atmosphere at the base was a bit silent, even the weather was gloomy and depressing.

After the training, Fabregas was stayed, Wenger asked him to talk.

"Francesco, I know you want to go back to Barcelona." Wenger opened the door and saw Fabregas wanting to defend. The professor sternly waved his hand, "Well, boy, let's be honest today."

Fabregas glanced at the coach in surprise, this is not like the old man's style.

"To be honest, I'm not willing to let you go." The professor sighed with emotion, "In '03, you were only 16 when you first came, crying, and always homesick."

"One night after get off work, I saw you crying on the training ground alone."

"Remember what you ate that day?"

"Remember." Fabregas nodded, "The drape you made by yourself is a bit salty."

"Hahaha." Wenger laughed, "I haven't done it for a long time, it's unfamiliar."

Seeing the change in Fabregas's expression, Wenger waved his hand, "Speaking of this, I don't want to persuade you to stay with emotion, I just want to express a meaning."

"You are a good boy." Wenger said. "But Arsenal does not owe you, nor do I owe you. On the contrary, I and the team are kind to you."

Fabregas opened his mouth.

"Let me finish my sentence." Wenger said, "I know you have decided to go, so I won't force you to stay."

"Barcelona wants you, I have no objection, but the transfer fee must meet Arsenal's requirements."

Fabregas hesitated and stopped.

"Don't worry, Arsenal is never a black shop, but the price is fair." Wenger said, "If Barcelona can be satisfied, then you go to Barcelona. If they feel that they are satisfied and are not willing to give a fair price, we Will consider offers from other teams."

"For example, Real Madrid, I know they have always wanted you too." Wenger paused and said slowly.

Fabregas was shocked, how could he defect to Real Madrid, a La Masia root?

However, Fabregas understood what Wenger meant. The old man stopped trying to keep him and opened the door for his transfer.

He can go to Barcelona, ​​but the transfer fee is based on the market price.

Fabregas left.

Wenger sighed. Today's conversation style is not his style.

However, they were all forced out.

Aston Villa sold Diego Costa and used the money to bring in Suarez and Modric, which moved Wenger.

Since Fabregas is determined to go, then go, but you have to bring a fair transfer fee to Arsenal.

Yes, until this time, Wenger did not expect to slaughter Barcelona severely.

It's not that he didn't want to. With Fabregas's posture that Barcelona would not go to, it would be good to sell at a fair price.

In fact, in the original historical process, Fabregas moved to Barcelona a few months later, and the transfer fee was only 33 million euros!

You know, Fabregas was worth 50 million euros in Germany.

At that time, Real Madrid, Manchester United and many other teams were willing to pay 50 million euros or even more transfer fees. However, because Fabregas did not go to Barcelona, ​​coupled with Wenger’s character, they didn’t want to be with himself. The single-handedly cultivated "godson" turned his face and did not choose to stay or force Fabregas to go to Real Madrid. Arsenal could only pinch his nose and recognize that he suffered a blood loss.

Now, being beaten by Aston Villa in a row and losing a 5-1 in the League Cup final, coupled with those words from Shangjue, Wenger is finally cruel.

...

Winning the League Cup, Aston Villa did not celebrate.

On the one hand, the season is not over yet, now is the tightest time of the schedule, there is no time.

In addition, a League Cup champion, Aston Villa is already a bit despised.

They are not Arsenal without a title for five years.

A few days later, in the 29th round of the Premier League, Aston Villa was tied with Bolton in an away game.

Fang Jue was furious after the game and scolded all the players bloody.

Then, a few hours later, Aston Villa received good news.

The second place in the league, Manchester United, lost, and they lost four games away to Liverpool.

Diego Costa made one pass and one shot in the game and was the chief champion of Liverpool's win.

In this way, after the 29th round of the league, Aston Villa ranked first with 67 points, and Manchester United ranked second with 55 points, already 12 points behind Aston Villa.

With nine rounds left in the league, Aston Villa's chances of winning the Premier League and defending its title are increasing.

Then came Manchester City's 54 points, Arsenal's 52 points, and Chelsea's 51 points, ranking third, fourth and fifth.

It is worth mentioning that after the two-to-two draw with Bolton, Aston Villa's unbeaten Premier League games have reached 54 games across the season.

Fang Jue's team is setting an incredible record.

They are getting closer and closer to the 58 longest unbeaten record set by AC Milan in the five major leagues.

Subsequently, Aston Villa ushered in the second round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals with AC Milan.

Before the game, AC Milan’s vice president Galliani used Milan’s ‘European Champions League DNA’ to cheer for the team.

Losing the first leg two to three, AC Milan only needs one two to zero to advance in this match. It's not impossible.

On March 9, Villa Park Stadium.

The referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, and the cheers of the Villa Park Stadium rang.

Aston Villa scored a goal each in the first and second halves and once took a two-to-zero lead. At the last moment Boateng scored a face-saving goal for Milan.

In the absence of Shevchenko and Mane, Aston Villa defeated AC Milan two to one at home with Gareth Bale's pass and Ronaldo's goal.

In the end, the Premier League leader Aston Villa eliminated Serie A leader AC Milan with a total score of 5 to 3 and advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals.

AC Milan has not won a knockout match for four consecutive years since standing on the top of Europe in 2007, and the Rossoneri has already begun to decline.

...

In other matches, Valencia was eliminated by Schalke 04, Rome was bloodbathed by Donetsk, and another tragedy was created.

Arsenal won a 2-1 win in the first leg and was defeated by Barcelona 3-1 away.

In order to win the team, Arsenal coach Wenger frequently made smoke bombs before the game, stating that the main striker Van Persie will be absent due to injury. For this reason, he was ridiculed by the Spanish media.

In this game, Van Persie, who was originally declared unavailable by Wenger, appeared in the starting lineup. It is a pity that Wenger's carefully prepared surprise soldier has largely become the "sinner" of the Arsenal team.

Before the end of the first half, Van Persie received a yellow card for bringing down Barcelona defender Alves in the frontcourt.

In the 56th minute of the second half, Van Persie completed a shot after the referee had whistled for offside. As a result, the referee Busaka was shown a yellow card again, and he was sent off for accumulating red cards.

This penalty can be said to be a turning point in the entire game. It was after that Barcelona eliminated their opponents by scoring two goals with their numerical superiority.

Van Persie, who became a ‘sinner’, explained after the game that he did not hear the referee’s whistle because of the loud noise at the scene.

The head coach Wenger even angrily blocked the referee from questioning after the game. He even said: "The referee killed the game. It is ridiculous that Van Persie was sent off. Only those who have never played Make this sentence."

Interestingly, Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola also expressed support for Wenger's statement. He said: "The second yellow card received by Van Persie, the referee's penalty is indeed too harsh. I can understand Wenger very well. It is of course annoying to lose a forward in this type of competition."

In terms of rules, the referee showed the second yellow card to Van Persie. There is nothing wrong with it. It's just that... it is indeed too harsh.

In the Premier League, the media and related people have spoken out in support of Wenger.

Chelsea captain Terry sarcastically said, ‘this is normal operation. ’

Fang Jue called to comfort Wenger. The professor looked a little frustrated and reminded Fang Jue to be careful if he encountered Barcelona.

Fang Jue looked at his "black card" and said he was relieved.

He also gave Wenger a loss. With this red card, Fabregas shouldn't sell Barcelona more than eight million euros?

The professor paused, "What you said makes sense."

Fang Jue was a little stunned. Is this still that elegant and honest professor? How did those who followed the study become like this? !

The next day, UEFA held the UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw.

Chelsea drew Manchester United and will stage a Premier League civil war.

Barcelona drew Shakhtar Donetsk.

Real Madrid drew Schalke ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Aston Villa met their old rival Inter Milan in the group stage.

In an interview, Fang Jue refused to admit that it was a good sign. He said that the triple crown in the knockouts is not easy to mess with, and the team's luck is not very good.

Anyway, Barabara, what Inter Milan is strong, the group stage is just an accident, can not be used as a reference, Aston Villa must be careful, Inter Milan who is determined to revenge is difficult to deal with.

The English media thought Fang Jue was too careful.

The Italian media are more happy, they think Fang Jue is right, Inter Milan entering the knockout round is worth looking forward to.

Their requirements are not high. They kill Aston Villa at home and draw with Aston Villa away. They can advance without defeat, and they don’t want to double-kill Aston Villa. .

Fang Jue was used to a bowl of chicken soup for Inter Milan, and when he turned his head, he opened champagne at home to celebrate...
