We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 241: The Era of Two Prideful People, Why Are They Undefeated? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
In the 37th minute, Abanglaho received a through ball from Milner and cut inside, but was intercepted by Everton youngster Mustafi.

This central defender who was favored by Klopp is still very capable, and even took the initiative to dribble the ball forward.

Abang Laho immediately turned around and fought for the ball with a large amplitude, and finally knocked down Mustafi.

The referee blew the whistle and showed Abanglaho a yellow card.

Abanglaho was very dissatisfied and had an argument with the referee.

It was De Bruyne and others who came and pulled Abanglaho away to avoid the situation from escalating.

He Tianqi seemed to be thinking about something.

Inzaghi frowned and said, "Abanglaho's mood seems to be a little off today? It seems like he is... too positive?"

He Tianqi nodded: "It's more than just Abanglaho."

Inzaghi was stunned: "You mean..."

He Tianqi: "Don't you think the whole team was a little impatient today? From Courtois's show time, to De Bruyne's own long shot, to Agbonlahor's anger after being intercepted."

Inzaghi reacted immediately: "So, it was the Ballon d'Or award ceremony yesterday?"

He Tianqi nodded.

The Golden Globe Awards is a place of fame and fortune.

It would be fine if you don’t enter, but once you enter, you will be troubled.

Even Cristiano Ronaldo, who is currently the winner, may become anxious and worried in the future due to the rise of others, which may affect his condition and choices on the court.

These things are actually far away from Villa's players and will not have any impact on them.

However, their head coach is the biggest figure in this award, which links them with the Golden Ball.

Now everyone wants to perform better and strive to become the next superstar in the next two years.

In the long run, having this extra motivation is certainly a good thing.

But in the short term, how to allocate and regulate these players' strong desire for fame is a very urgent task.

Otherwise their individualism will be destructive to the team.

This was the first time He Tianqi encountered this situation, so he was not well prepared.

After all, the Palermo team he coached had already won many championships before any of its players entered the award's vision. The players knew they had the talent and had a certain level of determination for the awards, so they were not so eager.

Not to mention Real Madrid, many well-known superstars have taken this lightly and some have taken the initiative to give in.

Modric: You’re welcome, you’re welcome!

Back on the field, in the 45th minute, Trippier made a run from the right.

De Bruyne passed the ball to the right.

Trippier delivered a superb cross.

Abanglaho broke into the penalty area and made a run for the ball.

Unfortunately, Mustafi got there first and cleared the ball with a header.

In terms of speed, Abanglaho is of course much faster.

But he has no physical advantage and is easily suppressed when trying to score.

Moreover, he spent a lot of time on the wing in his early years and was not considered an orthodox central striker.

In the early days of world football, people liked to use a double striker lineup, one tall and one fast.

However, this classification is not detailed enough, which leads to the fact that some "high" and "fast" players clearly meet the requirements, but their performance in the competition is always poor.

For example, some tall people are tall and strong, but they have no fulcrum, which means they are just tall in vain.

The most typical example is Lukaku in his early days, a perfect center forward template, who would break through the wing and cycle every day. This caused his strengths as a center forward to become a burden when he played as a winger.

There are also people like Abang Laho, who are incredibly fast, but have a tendency to avoid people, or have no tendency to confront people, so their effectiveness is greatly reduced.

Abanglaho’s girlfriend: …

This is why Vardy, who has played much less time and almost all of his appearances as a substitute, has scored the same number of goals as Agbonlahor so far.

Vardy has loved fighting since he was a child, has extensive experience in confrontations, and has great impact when playing in the middle.

Agbonlahor is actually more suitable to be a speed attacker on the wing.

The halftime break passed quickly and the two sides changed sides and continued the game.

As everyone left the locker room, Inzaghi hesitated and finally asked, "Why didn't we remind everyone?"

He Tianqi: "When an idea first arises, it is the most powerful. Now no matter what you say to others, no one will listen to it. It may even have a counterproductive effect and make them feel that you are harming them and delaying them."

"We still need to think of ways to limit their performance or help them perform from a tactical perspective."

Inzaghi seemed to have learned something: "No wonder you made some different adjustments to the tactics just now. You restricted their performance through tactical requirements instead of directly telling them to restrain themselves."

He Tianqi nodded.

If you tell a young man to exercise restraint, he either doesn't know how to do it at all, or he restrains himself too much and becomes tied up.

When communicating with young people, don't talk about general principles, but focus on specific things.

In the 48th minute, Abanglaho took the initiative to move to the right and chose a style of play that was more comfortable for him.

Trippier made a run-in, received the pass from Abanglaho and then made a cross.

Fellaini rushed into the penalty area and headed the ball into the goal.

Unfortunately, the distance was a little far and the threat was not enough, so he was hugged by Howard.

Trippier's cross and Fellaini's run-in was a small combination for Villa.

Although He Tianqi seldom uses the cross tactic, Villa at this level can use it more often.

And as Fellaini moved forward, Everton inevitably focused their defensive attention on Fellaini.

De Bruyne therefore has a larger space to move around, especially when Abang Laho moves to the right, De Bruyne can run from midfield to center forward.

In the 51st minute, De Bruyne received a through ball from Maldini and accelerated forward again in the middle.

With big strides, he only needs to slightly adjust the direction to get past the defensive player.

The space created by Agbonlahor was perfectly utilized by De Bruyne.

boom!
De Bruyne took another long shot.

Howard made a brilliant save with a very smooth movement.

There was a sigh at Villa Park.

This shot was well hit and saved even better.

"Kevin!" He Tianqi came directly to the sidelines.

De Bruyne turned to look at He Tianqi and immediately extended his hand to apologize.

He Tianqi would not bother with ordinary players and could force them to follow the rules by modifying tactics later.

But De Bruyne is different.

As the core of the team, he can see through He Tianqi's tactical intentions, and this approach may cause him to resist.

Therefore, when speaking to the core players of the team, you must be direct and clear.

De Bruyne himself knew that his kick was a bit hasty.

If the ball is passed, there might be a better chance.

It is hard for an 18-year-old boy not to be tempted by the Golden Ball Award, seeing his teammates showing off their talents and himself having the ball.

He is not a saint after all.

This is also the reason why traditional Chinese teaching culture is more stringent towards successors who are more valued.

Because it is frank and direct, it appears harsh.

The beating, which does not affect feelings, is a form of intellectual discrimination.

In the 57th minute, Everton launched an attack.

Sahara made a cross from the side.

The football hit Bale in the arm.

Everton won a free kick deep in the box.

Cahill took a free kick and Fellaini cleared the ball over Mustafi.

After receiving the ball outside the penalty area, De Bruyne made a fake pass to shake off Phil Neville who was pressing him, then he pushed the ball forward and passed Phil.

"Counterattack! This is a great opportunity to counterattack!"

"De Bruyne's speed is very fast. It's hard to believe that a midfielder can be so fast."

“Everton’s defenders couldn’t catch up to De Bruyne!”

"But Bale was faster and overtook on the left."

"Abanglaho is leading the way."

"Trippier followed up on the right side, this is a Z-shaped four-man counterattack formation!"

"Abanglaho is approaching the penalty area and he is asking for the ball. De Bruyne keeps observing Abanglaho's position and he is adjusting his steps. Is he going to pass the ball?"

"Oh! No! De Bruyne didn't pass the ball. Agbonlahor was offside and didn't wait for De Bruyne's pass."

Agbonlahor is definitely the best passing point, everyone can see it, so Everton's defensive players have actually been blocking this passing route.

De Bruyne understood Abang Laho's habit of confrontation, and knew that after the ball was passed, if Abang Laho was not prepared to confront the opponent, he would most likely not receive the ball, or he would receive the ball and then be restricted by the opponent before completing the steal.

Therefore, he used Abanglaho as bait, but in fact he was waiting for an opportunity.

It wasn't until the moment Abanglao was offside that De Bruyne passed the ball.

Through pass from the left!

Find Bell!
Bale immediately accelerated towards the football, received the ball on the left side of the penalty area, took two steps towards the small penalty area, and shot with his left foot.

The football passed through the gap on the right side of Howard's waist and went into the goal.

Howard failed to save the ball.

"GOAL! Two to two!"

"Bale scored! He equalized the score for Villa!"

"This shot was very dangerous. Howard thought Bale would pass the ball horizontally, so he kept a little balance and did not completely block the space in the near corner. As a result, Bale hit him right on the spot!"

"Bale has a strong shooting skill and this shot was of very high quality."

"Huh? Abanglaho seemed a little dissatisfied. He spread his hands."

"Okay, Bale came to the corner flag area to celebrate."

If Villa fans were careful enough, they would have noticed that De Bruyne and Agbonlahor were not among the players who came to the corner flag area to celebrate.

Because De Bruyne is trying to calm Agbonlahor down.

"Well..." Inzaghi didn't know what to say, "Kevin did a very good job."

In fact, Inzaghi thought that Bale's choice was problematic, but Bale scored, so what else could he say?

Moreover, Inzaghi also knew that He Tianqi valued Bale very much, and gave Bale certain firing rights in tactics.

As a mere assistant coach, I certainly cannot go against the head coach.

Unexpectedly, He Tianqi said, “When Abanglaho comes down later, you should have a good talk with him and calm him down.”

"I will give Bale some criticism, education and punishment later."

"But he just needs to know it and not make it public to avoid discord within the team."

In this goal, Bale seriously violated Villa's tactical requirements.

If he passed the ball horizontally, Abang Laho's goal would definitely be empty.

Even if Ronaldo comes, he has to pass the ball to me!

Of course, Bell's shot was not random. He bet that Howard thought he was going to pass the ball, and his bet was right, and he scored a goal.

But this brings us back to the issue of permissions.

He Tianqi's tactics are divided into levels.

For a star player like Bale who has strong personal abilities, he has a lot of autonomy in offense.

When others can only pass the ball, he may be able to dribble the ball himself.

But there are some tactics that are of a very high level that Bale cannot violate, such as the double-ghost slam in front of the goal, or not being allowed to try to pass the goalkeeper when there is a better option.

He Tianqi grasped this final blow very tightly.

You can waste chances, but you can't waste goals.

The only person in the entire team who is qualified to challenge these low-level authorities is De Bruyne.

So he can choose not to pass the ball to Abanglaho when he is in a very good position, and he can take a long shot when he wants to.

Even so, his exercise of power would occasionally be subject to supervision and questioning from He Tianqi.

Bale's authority in this regard is far less than De Bruyne's.

Speaking of which, Abanglao’s outburst was also unfortunate.

First, he was intercepted by an unknown player on the opposing team (Mustafi), and then he got angry and received a yellow card.

He created a great opportunity, but it was sacrificed because De Bruyne put the overall situation first.

When he was about to benefit from his consideration for the greater good and become the final executioner, Bell suddenly stopped considering the greater good.

Aren’t you bullying the honest people?

My colleagues share fruits, but every time they get my share, there is none left. But in the end, they still want me to pay for the fruit, right?
In the 63rd minute, Ayegbeni received the ball and tried to break into the penalty area.

But Bonucci got up quickly, predicted the ball successfully and intercepted it.

Bonucci then made a lob pass to the right, and the ball flew over the head of the Everton player who was rushing over.

Trippier received the ball and then launched a counterattack.

Just after half time, I saw Abanglaho running into a good position, so I made a straight pass.

There was a slight arc in the ball, and it rolled in an upside-down J shape on the grass, accurately finding Abanglaho.

Abanglaho dribbled the ball into the penalty area and shot.

However, Mustafi, who followed up, shot first and ruined the chance.

Abanglaho rolled on the ground, and after getting up, he angrily slapped the grass!

Almost!
Just a little bit closer!
Obviously, such a good opportunity has been missed.

At the same time, the referee blew the whistle.

Because when Trippier passed the ball, he was also tackled by the opponent's player. He rolled to the ground, holding his ankle and looking in pain.

The team doctor came on the field because of this.

He Tianqi asked the players on the bench to get ready.

He's going to change people.

Agbonlahor's mentality has been unbalanced and he is not suitable to stay on the court.

Just now, if he had used less strength when shooting and had swung his legs faster, he could have completed the attack first.

Or maybe he confronted Mustafi behind him before shooting to prevent the other party from following.

At that time, Mustafi had already entered the penalty area and did not dare to make any moves, otherwise he would get a yellow card and a penalty.

But Abanglaho had no habit of confrontation, which gave Mustafi ample environment to prepare.

These small details are the difference between a pure breakthrough player and a speed finisher.

Soon, Trippier was helped off the field by the team doctor.

He Tianqi replaced three people in a row.

Dong Fangzhuo replaced Giroud.

Vardy replaces Agbonlahor.

Two substitutions.

Albrighton replaced Trippier and went to play as a right winger.

Right midfielder Milner plays as right back.

Change formation to 433.

Vardy plays center forward!

The reason for this adjustment is that He Tianqi found that although Cahill has unique abilities in offense, he is not strong in controlling the field, and Everton's other midfielders do not have the ability to control the field.

So Villa can completely reduce one midfielder and add one offensive player.

After all, if you want to advance, you have to win.

Win this game and deal with the rest of the problems when we get back.

Of course, when Abang Laho left the court, He Tianqi also comforted him with a few words.

Things like "Great kick", "Well done", "Good, I see your efforts" and so on.

Isn't this enough to take you down?

In the 67th minute, Dong Fangzhuo received the ball on the left and was brought down when he tried to cut inside, winning a free kick for the team.

Bale took a tactical free kick and De Bruyne dribbled sideways, looking for a chance to pass the ball.

As long as Everton players don't come over, De Bruyne will become more and more threatening.

If he comes over, then their human wall will be full of holes and De Bruyne can pass the ball.

When De Bruyne reached the top of the arc, Everton players couldn't hold back and came over to block him.

De Bruyne took the opportunity to pass the ball.

Look for Motta on the penalty area line.

Motta kicked the ball towards the goal with his heel.

The Everton players looked to the side immediately.

Dong Fangzhuo!
Just as he was about to pounce, he realized something was wrong, Dong Fangzhuo was already in position.

really.

Dong Fangzhuo raised his hands high and stood still.

However, before the Everton players could relax, a red shadow flashed by.

Vardy started from the spot, sprinted at explosive speed, and arrived first.

A low shot before Howard could attack.

Howard and Vardy were less than one meter apart, and he had no chance to get to the ground.

The football flew right past his feet.

Straight into the goal.

"GOAL! Three to two!"

"Aston Villa takes the lead!"

"He Tianqi sent out Vardy as a substitute, and this amateur player lived up to He Tianqi's expectations!"

“Score as soon as you come on the field!”

“It’s so efficient!”

"Here's a little-known fact: Vardy's goal efficiency this season ranks among the top three in the world! The other two who are on par with him are Real Madrid's superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona's new king Messi!"

In an era when top scorers averaged 0.5 goals per game.

Vardy is close to averaging a goal per game.

Although the Championship and the League Cup cannot be compared with La Liga and the Champions League.

But Vardy is not a high-end player.

Vardy: …

The landscape of the game has changed.

Everton fell behind for the first time in the game.

But during this period of time, this lag is very fatal.

They inevitably panicked.

In the 75th minute, Milner faced off against Saha who had changed positions.

Saha was a little too arrogant and thought Milner was not a pure full-back and would not be able to do well.

The ball was intercepted by Milner.

Milner passed the ball directly to Albrighton.

Albrighton took two steps with the ball and sent a curved ball.

It was very similar to the goal that Trippier scored for Agbonlahor before he was injured.

Both have strong passing skills and excellent footwork.

Mustafi followed Vardy closely.

boom!
Vardy receives the ball.

He doesn't control the ball and doesn't have that ability.

He challenged Mustafi on the diagonal side before receiving the ball.

This is completely different from Abanglaho.

Mustafi was caught off guard and got caught, losing subsequent control over Vardy.

As a result, Vardy stopped and passed the ball, pushing it farther away.

The football flew past Howard in an instant.

And Vardy followed.

The goalkeeper is passed!

Howard knew the consequences, so he directly grabbed Vardy's arm.

Vardy then fell to the ground. Beep!

The referee rushed over.

A finger-pointing shot without hesitation.

Yellow card + penalty kick!

There was jubilation at Villa Park.

"Vardy has done a great job!"

"Penalty kick!"

"This is a penalty that could kill the game!"

Everton players gathered around, not necessarily wanting to change the penalty.

But it was to buy Howard time to calm down.

Then, Dong Fangzhuo came behind the football.

The former Manchester United teammates meet again, but they are no longer the Red Devils.

Ten seconds later, the waves behind push the waves in front.

Howard misjudged the direction.

"GOAL! Four to two! Dong Fangzhuo killed the game!"

"He continues to lead the EFL Cup scoring charts!"

“But he also has to thank Vardy, otherwise he wouldn’t have such an easy chance to score!”

In the camera, Dong Fangzhuo and Vardy hugged each other.

This made Abang Laho, who started the game, particularly uncomfortable.

Starting striker, zero goals and zero assists.

Substitute striker, both scored.

Blame it all on Bell!
In the 84th minute, Everton was struggling.

Saha broke into the penalty area and Bonucci immediately stepped forward to confront him and tried to steal the ball.

But Saha's footwork skills are still as good as before and he shook off Bonucci.

Bonucci didn't dare to commit a foul, so he staggered a little.

Saha adjusted himself and faced the goal, but before he could even lift his foot, Milner came over and poked the ball away.

Although it gave Everton a corner kick, it was definitely an excellent defensive move.

He Tianqi applauded Milner on the sidelines.

Milner finally let it go.

It seems more comfortable to play football this way.

He felt that those games in which he played as a core player were a torment.

In the stoppage time, the game is about to end.

But Bale's excessive insertion caused Cahill to seize the gap on Villa's left side and rushed here at a slow speed, disrupting Villa's defensive layout.

He made a cross pass, past Maldini and found Saha.

Saha faked a shot and then made a straight pass.

Ayegbeni met Courtois, who was sleepwalking throughout the game, in a narrow encounter.

boom!
Break through the crotch!

Courtois' long legs became a flaw.

He has not yet mastered the techniques of Guan Guan Yin Zuo Lian and so on.

Ayegbeni scored twice.

Everton eventually lost 3-4 to Aston Villa and was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the EFL Cup.

Villa advanced to the semi-finals.

The whole city of Birmingham was filled with joy once again.

Birmingham hasn't seen such a grand occasion for a long time.

Prince William forwarded the result of the game and commented: "If Aston Villa can make it to the League Cup final, I will apply to go to the scene as an award presenter! I hope to present the championship trophy to the team I love! Aston Villa, siu~"

Although the homonym has a bad meaning, He Tianqi is still very grateful for the support of Brother Prince.

Sky Sports: "He Tianqi's goal emerges, winning the League Cup is the most economical and practical option!"

The Times: "Villa eats the toffee! They eliminated two Premier League teams in a row and aim for the Carling Cup!"

Manchester Evening News: "Dong Fangzhuo continues to lead the EFL Cup in goals, Howard performed poorly but still finished off Courtois!"

BBC: "It's not a good thing for Villa to win! It's a shame for the Championship that a player like Courtois can start!"

The Sun: "The sound waves are too strong! Courtois's speed is not as fast as that of a call girl. It is recommended that he go to the sea to learn relevant techniques to avoid crotch penetration!"

The sponsor of the English League Cup in the past two years is Carlin Beer, so it is called the Carlin Cup.

The future sponsor will be Carabao Drinks, so it will be renamed the Carabao Cup.

After the game, He Tianqi praised Mustafi, saying it was incredible for him to have such a performance given his age.

A few days later, He Tianqi found Bell and talked to him.

First, he and Bale clarified the issue of Bale's treatment on the field.

Bale himself did not deny that he had a lot of resources on the offensive end, which was impossible for an ordinary full-back to have.

On this basis, He Tianqi talked about other players.

Sometimes, appropriate fairness is not self-sacrifice, but compensation to others.

Non-core players usually give up enough resources. In this case, what will others think if you still want to seize other people’s core resources?
Those who hold salaries for everyone must not freeze them to death in the wind and snow.

Otherwise, won't you be the one who suffers in the end?
Bell then fell into thought.

There were some changes in the next two games.

……

December 5th and October 28th, two Championship games.

Villa defeated Derby County, which was ranked 15th, and Cardiff City, which was ranked 5th.

Ushering in the eighth consecutive victory in the Championship.

Ten consecutive wins in all competitions!
Gained two skills: [Basic Shooting] and [Offensive Positioning]

[Offensive running: player-level skill. It is easier for players to run out of opportunities during offense]

The former was given to Abanglaho.

The latter was given to Vardy.

The training of Abang Laho is actually quite complicated.

He himself wants to play as a speed striker.

But he doesn't like confrontation and should actually go to the wing as an attacker.

He is fast, but his dribbling skills are not good, and he also has limitations as a wide attacker.

His passing, shooting and defense are also average.

Overall, he is only suitable to be a surprise player on the wing.

But this positioning is unacceptable to both Abangladesh and England.

They have very high expectations for Agbonlahor and think he is the next Golden Boy Owen.

Therefore, He Tianqi plans to train Abanglaho in that direction when the competition is not fierce. Maybe he can get a version of Eduardo who can play in the middle or on the wing with enhanced speed and weakened running position.

One person can provide substitutes for two or three positions on the front line.

If Abanglaho cannot accept this, then this training direction will also help him leave the team at a high price and look for his future in other teams.

After all, with his statistics and value improving, his new club will definitely give him enough opportunities. What if he seizes them?
This is a win-win training program.

December 14th, the 21st round of the Championship.

Villa was equalized at home by Queens Park Rangers, who were ranked 11th.

December 20th, the 22nd round of the Championship.

Villa drew with seventh-placed Blackpool in a tough tie.

Although De Bruyne, Bale, Milner and others have calmed down, more and more people in the team are beginning to feel uneasy.

Because the FIFA World Player of the Year award ceremony is about to be held.

Those who lack self-control and think they have a chance will be tempted first.

Those who have determination or did not dare to think about it at first, but now dare to think about it, will be tempted.

No one can escape.

The team was clearly affected.

And even He Tianqi couldn't suppress it.

In other words, he did not choose to suppress it.

This is just like puberty and menopause. It cannot be suppressed, but it is not entirely a bad thing.

The only thing we can do is to control the impact within a certain range and wait for this period of time to pass.

The so-called influence is to prevent the selfishness of the players that arises during this period from affecting the overall team.

For example, in the situation between Bale and Abang Lahore before, he had to intervene and balance.

But beyond that, there's nothing more to do.

After the winter break, public opinion subsided and desires diminished. The players who still had strong motivation at that time at least had strong mental attributes.

……

December 21, Zurich, Switzerland.

The World Footballer of the Year awards ceremony was held grandly.

He Tianqi was invited to attend.

However, it was not just one person, but De Bruyne, Bale, Milner, Schmeichel, Dong Fangzhuo, Agbonlahor, Vardy and others who have performed well in the team in recent times.

They are known as the "Slightly Spicy Group".

This made Monica's plan to form a girl group of Eva and Miriam for Apocalypse fail.

The two women were extremely resentful.

The host on the red carpet was the beautiful Spanish journalist Caponero, who has had a successful career in recent years.

Villa's players all noticed her enthusiasm for He Tianqi and were deeply envious.

After entering the venue, they sat in the back row, and He Tianqi was invited away by Clara, the editor-in-chief of Global View, to do a spoken... spoken broadcast.

Bale and others had some questions about why Motta didn't come.

Inzaghi said: "Motta is not coming because his name is not on the list of candidates. But next year, he will definitely be here."

After all, Motta was a superstar who once made it into the top ten!
"You little ones shouldn't be here. Thanks to Tianqi this time, you should see more, learn more, and feel more. Try to come here next time with your own strength." Little Inzaghi encouraged everyone.

Everyone nodded.

Soon, the award ceremony began.

The first award announced was the new award added this year - the Puskas Award.

That is the best goal award.

Cristiano Ronaldo won the award for his overhead kick in the Champions League semi-final in May this year.

He bit a cucumber with his teeth raised, then went up to the stage to receive the award with a smile.

The person who presented the award to him was He Tianqi.

Ronaldo embraced his mentor and said half politely and half sincerely: "Boss, come back!"

The scene was filled with astonishment.

Although everyone gave warm applause afterwards.

But Real Madrid Zhu Xi Florentino's face was extremely ugly!
So far, Real Madrid has been in poor form in the league. Not only has it fallen to fourth place in the league, but it was also defeated by Barcelona by a large margin in the national derby.

The players understand that feeling of powerlessness better than the fans.

Ronaldo obviously realized that scoring goals was not as easy as before.

And even if we score a goal, we may not win the game.

He was very unaccustomed to it, so he spoke his mind.

Little did they know that this would be a slap in the face of the head coach and the team leader Zhu Xi.

So, our great Real Madrid can’t survive without He Tianqi?
How can it be!

The "Football Promotion Award" was then presented.

The winner is the Chinese Football Association.

Originally, the Chinese national football team wanted to ask He Tianqi to present the awards.

But He Tianqi deliberately awarded the Puskas Award.

Chinese football is Chinese football, and the Chinese Football Association is the Chinese Football Association, don't get them confused.

He Tianqi will help the former, but will never collude with the latter.

Then came the "World Footballer of the Year".

Winner Marta.

This is the fourth consecutive year that she has won the award.

Completely dominated the world women's football.

This is also another manifestation of the "dark three years" in world football.

People generally refer to 2006-2009 as the lost three years of world football.

Because in these three years, all the honors are extremely concentrated.

The only thing to be thankful for is that starting next year, everything will be different.

A hundred flowers will bloom again!
Next up is the Fair Play Award.

The winner was Sir Bobby Robson.

This is also Mourinho's mentor.

The second to last award is "Best Head Coach"!
He Tianqi deserved the award.

This is the sixth consecutive year he has won the award.

From 2004 to 2009, if three years were stolen from European football, then six years were stolen from European head coaches, who suffered much more than the players!

But this award more represents the end of the He Tianqi era.

Finally, the highlight is here!
The World Footballer of the Year rankings are announced.

Compared to the Ballon d'Or, the FIFA World Player of the Year award focuses more on fame and influence of the player, and has more room for maneuver.

C Ronaldo was elected as this year's World Footballer of the Year with a high vote, successfully defending his title.

He won the Ballon d'Or three times in a row and the FIFA World Player of the Year twice in a row, officially surpassing legendary stars such as Ronaldo and Zidane.

Before that, he had already surpassed Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Figo, Nedved, Shevchenko and others in awards.

Not only is he the best active player, he is also beginning to challenge for the position of the best player in history.

And this year, he is only twenty-four years old.

Being extremely popular is not enough to describe him at this moment.

But looking at the ranking list, He Tianqi shook his head.

Everything goes up and down, and after adversity comes good.

The era of another super king has begun to emerge.

Not Kaka who is ranked second.

Nor is it Ibrahimovic, who ranks third.

Not even Casillas, who is ranked fourth, and Modric, who is ranked fifth.

Compared to the Ballon d'Or, Real Madrid has a greater influence on the FIFA World Player of the Year award, taking the top five spots.

Although Ibrahimovic plays for Barcelona, ​​everyone knows that all his honors this year came from his time at Real Madrid.

The king that He Tianqi was referring to was none other than the popular player Lionel Messi, who ranked only 20th in the Ballon d'Or but 6th in the FIFA World Player of the Year.

Thanks to Barcelona's failure to win any of the four major titles for three consecutive years, Messi's ranking has gradually risen.

After Ronaldinho, Deco, Eto'o and others left the team, it reached its limit.

Many judges who voted for Messi said that they were not influenced by PR, and they voted because of Messi's outstanding performance in the Spanish national derby.

Messi's hat trick conquered them.

It has been three years since Barcelona had such a victory.

Barcelona has been honing its skills for three years, but Messi’s one match is worth three years!

It fully reflects the power of the owners of the monetary system to define the value of currency.

But Messi is the most competitive. This season, with the tactical support of Guardiola, the support of strong players such as Ibrahimovic and Toure, as well as local players such as Arteta, Xavi and Iniesta, he has achieved god-level data comparable to Ronaldo.

For a time, many media claimed that Messi was the chosen one who could truly end He Tianqi's rule!
It is the embodiment of justice!

Be Jesus' chosen people!

It is also under this aura that Messi's popularity continues to rise and he has achieved a breakthrough in the World Footballer of the Year ranking.

If Ronaldo is the biggest beneficiary of this awards ceremony, then Messi is the second biggest beneficiary.

Thanks to this ranking, his status within Barcelona has risen sharply.

Arteta has lost control of the dressing room.

Outsiders such as Ibrahimovic and Toure have no control at all.

As the saying goes, when the sky is murderous, the stars will move; when the earth is murderous, dragons and snakes will rise from the land; when people are murderous, heaven and earth will be reversed!

There is only one company in the world that has such a powerful ability to change the dynasty overnight!
Messi has gained "orthodoxy"!
Even though playing football was what he wanted and fighting for power was not his intention, everything was beyond his control.

The true story of two extraordinary heroes is about to begin!

Q: In the era of the two heroes, who can face Messi and Ronaldo without losing?
Answer: How can one be invincible?
……

This World Footballer of the Year award ceremony brought even greater shock to Villa's players.

After all, they witnessed He Tianqi receiving and presenting the award with their own eyes.

Those who haven't been there have a lot of fantasies, but once you've been there you'll know that it's not a pleasant experience to watch people receive awards.

After all, they are players too.

If Ronaldo and Messi can do it, why can't they?

The previous impetuousness was transformed into concrete additional training.

December 26th, December 28th.

Villa will face Peterborough United, ranked 23rd, and West Bromwich Albion, ranked 2nd.

One win and one draw.

not bad.

The reason we didn’t win the second game was also because the schedule was too tight.

The players were preoccupied with family matters and did not perform well.

Basically from this time on, other European leagues enter the winter break.

But there is no winter break in England.

The Premier League does not.

There is even less of the English Championship which has more events.

On January 2nd, the new FA Cup also began.

This is a competition that theoretically all teams in England (the top ten levels of the competition) can participate in, and it has a huge influence in England.

Levels one to four belong to professional leagues, and the next six levels belong to non-professional leagues.

Vardy previously played in the fifth-level league, which is a non-professional league.

The FA Cup has a special bonus. When the head coach is at risk of being dismissed by the team, winning the FA Cup can keep his position!

Wenger: Thumbs up!
Teng Hai: So cool!

There are eight rounds in total.

The first two rounds will be played by English League One, English League Two, amateur leagues, etc.

The Premier League and Championship were officially added in the third round.

Villa is playing in the third round.

And the reason why the FA Cup is so popular is that it is still in a "completely fair" period.

It has no lottery avoidance principle.

For example, in the Champions League, the first, second, third and fourth tiers are classified into different categories, and teams in the same group and league are avoided, etc. This ensures the excitement of the game, but actually compromises on fairness.

The FA Cup is different. There is no avoidance, which means that many strong teams may be eliminated at a very early stage.

Villa has not been very lucky this year.

As soon as they entered the FA Cup, they met a team from the Premier League.

And this is not just any ordinary Premier League team.

It’s the Red Army Liverpool!
