Chapter 392: Epic Season th Championship

"Of course, the premise is that their impartiality is guaranteed."

"There were problems with the FIFA Ballon d'Or in its first two years. Now that it has finally gotten on the right track, it has suddenly been split up. This cannot but raise concerns about the fairness of the award in the next few years."

“I will keep a close eye on their developments and exercise my oversight over the major awards.”

Reporter: "Who gave you the power to supervise?"

He Tianqi: "The results give me the right to supervise. Awards that do not accept my supervision and are not recognized by me are not authoritative and are nothing more than fake awards."

“Why do you think the FIFA Ballon d’Or has become fair?”

"Because if he is unfair, I will slap him in the face with my results and make him fair! The surge in attention to the FIFA Ballon d'Or in the past two years is because they put aside their dirty selfishness and truly gave the award back to the players and fans!"

He Tianqi's statement gave the football world a reassurance.

A bad thing thus turned into a good thing.

Starting next year, there may be two best players in the world in football.

……

January 12th, the 21st round of the Premier League.

Villa beat Newcastle 2-0 away.

January 18th, the 22nd round of the Premier League.

Villa beat Cardiff City 4-2 at home.

January 22nd, League Cup semi-final.

Villa vs Manchester United.

Before the game, everyone thought this match would be a fight between dragons and tigers.

However, no one expected that even though both teams were using their main lineups, Manchester United would still lose 5-1.

I'm about to lose my underwear.

But considering the gap in league rankings between the two sides, all this seems to be natural.

Villa is currently top of the Premier League table.

Manchester United is seventh in the Premier League.

In fact, Manchester United fell to ninth place last month.

This is related to the failure of Manchester United's new coach Moyes to shoulder the heavy responsibility, but it is also related to the discord among Manchester United's stars.

According to The Sun, among Manchester United's four kings, Van Persie, Rooney and Valencia are competing with each other for ball possession, finishing rights, leadership in the locker room, etc.

This is also the most common problem for a team full of superstars without a strong head coach to suppress them.

Ever since the Ferguson-Beckham flying boot scandal, Manchester United executives have been demanding that dressing room content not be leaked.

This internal conflict was even classified as top secret within the team.

You can fight all you want, but you can't let outsiders know.

In the end, the matter was still exposed.

Manchester United's top executives and the three superstars were furious and began looking for the traitor, threatening that once they found the person, they would not allow that person to enter the Manchester United cafeteria to eat!

But the strange thing is that this person hid very well and was not exposed for a long time.

"If I find the traitor, I will kill him! He is the one who caused us to lose the League Cup semi-finals!" Valencia gnashed his teeth in anger. "Who is it?"

"We have checked everything that should be checked, except you. It can't be you."

Valencia patted Ashley Young beside him.

The reason why he was so angry was that he knew that the most promising honor for Manchester United this season was the League Cup, which everyone had never taken seriously in the past.

Ashley Young trembled on the side: "Well, yes, it's all his fault."

Valencia was a little confused: "Why are you shaking? Are you cold? Remember to wear more clothes next time. The team can't do without you."

Ashley Young's long-range transfer to find Valencia is a classic combination for Manchester United.

Of course, Van Persie and Rooney are also trying to win over Ashley Young, hoping that he can give them more assists. After all, there is no hope for Valencia.

Ashley Young smiled awkwardly: "Okay, I'll wear more."

How to say it, he now has only one word... regret!
It was all his fault that he couldn't resist the temptation and was dazzled by the Page 3 girl from The Sun, and then he revealed the real reason why Manchester United lost.

Unexpectedly, it caused such a huge discussion on the Internet, and the entire Manchester United was in panic.

He even wants to submit a transfer request in the winter window.

On January 29th, Villa beat Tottenham 5-1 to continue their winning streak.

On February 3, Villa lost 0-1 at home.

It was Chelsea who beat them.

Giroud scored the only goal of the game.

The one who assisted him was the former first-generation "Prince of Villa" and "British Star" Abang Laho!
He has never been able to make his mark since joining Chelsea.

It was not until Hazard arrived that he attracted too much firepower, and Abanglao's speed advantage gave him some opportunities to play on the weak right side.

Unfortunately, times have changed. Even if he performs better now, it will be difficult for him to get a ticket to the World Cup in Brazil.

Because there are many more stars in the British Empire now than in the past.

A new generation replaces the old.

There are always some amazing people who are forgotten in old photos.

On February 8, Villa was tied 0-0 by Norwich.

Then the national team competition will begin, which is a series of friendly matches and warm-up matches in preparation for the World Cup in June and July.

February 18th, the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Players from all walks of life return to their clubs from the national team.

Villa will face AC Milan at home.

The two sides met again in the Champions League.

As a result, the two sides shook hands again and the game ended with a score of 1:1.

All of them were affected by the FIFA virus.

Villa also suffered a rare three-game losing streak this season.

February 22nd, the 27th round of the Premier League.

Villa made rotations, so it was a bit difficult.

In the end, thanks to Lewandowski's penalty and shot, Villa defeated Stoke City 1-0.

……

On March 2nd, the League Cup final kicked off.

Villa rotated their squad for this game and almost failed to take down Stoke City.

Who would have thought that during the pre-match warm-up, Bale felt unwell and was temporarily taken out of the game roster by He Tianqi.

Because He Tianqi saw that Bell's soleus muscle had entered a state of "fatigue and injury".

This is also the only final that Bale has missed in the past two years.

He has played in all three finals before, and won the best player honors in all three finals this season.

This disappointed many players who expected him to continue to win the Finals MVP.

Of course, Real Madrid is satisfied with He Tianqi's decision.

Florentino has already communicated with He Tianqi about Bale during the winter transfer window.

Last year, a series of transfers including Modric and Casemiro allowed Real Madrid to win the right of first refusal for Bale.

And now Florentino wants to finalize the price.

But he failed.

Because his offer of 110 million was said by He Tianqi to have "absolutely no chance".

But Florentino was not discouraged. He at least prepared 300 million euros of funds for Bale!
We must win the new Ballon d'Or.

If you spend so much money to buy a striker, no matter how good he is, it may not be worth it.

But if what we buy is the next Real Madrid star player at the level of Cristiano Ronaldo, then it would be worth it.

Florentino plans to replace Ronaldo with Bale within two seasons to replace the team's top player.

If Ronaldo can endure it, he will still be the team's top player.

If you can't tolerate it, you can also replace it without any causal relationship.

Because after all, Ronaldo was bought by He Tianqi during Calderon's tenure.

Florentino still wants to build his own galactic battleship, not the Silver "Ho" battleship.

So He Tianqi wants to use Bale sparingly, and Florentino agrees.

He was afraid that He Tianqi would continue to over-consume Bell's body in order to continue to raise Bell's value, leaving some hidden injuries or risks.

"Don't overdraw Bale and don't worry about the transfer fee. No matter how much other teams offer in the summer, Real Madrid will match it!" Florentino told He Tianqi directly. This was also a trust in He Tianqi's character.

The two cooperated happily in the deal where "Chinese capital" bought Alaves.

Back to the Carabao Cup.

Manchester City also has injuries.

Main center forward Aguero is injured.

Manchester City's starting lineup is:

哲科
Nasri, David Silva, Navas
Fernandinho, Yaya Toure

Kolarov, Demichelis, Kompany, Zabaleta

Joe Hart

-

Villa's starting lineup is:

Mane, Lukaku, Salah
Kaka
De Bruyne, Kante, Pogba
Boateng, Van Dijk, Rudiger
Oblak
-

"Hello everyone, you are watching the EFL Cup final."

"The number of online viewers for this game has also reached the highest level in the history of the event, even surpassing some FA Cup and Europa League finals most of the time!"

"Because this League Cup is likely to be a prophecy for a series of events!"

“The two teams facing each other are Villa and Manchester City, ranked first and second in the Premier League standings respectively.”

"Unlike Manchester United's forced duo in the previous Carabao Cup semi-final, Manchester City is the undisputed challenger for Villa this season!"

“Can Villa beat both Manchester City clubs in the same competition?”

"Or will Manchester City be able to overturn the huge mountain of Villa and ruin Villa's dream of winning the League Cup for the fifth consecutive time?"

"let us wait and see!"

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

In the first minute, Manchester City kicked off.

As a result, Kante successfully intercepted the ball in the backcourt, and De Bruyne made a long pass to launch a counterattack.

Lukaku took the lead, knocking Kompany aside and rushing towards the football.

Kompany pulled and tugged without losing his position, and tried his best to interfere with Lukaku.

In the end, Lukaku, who was not sure about continuing to bring the ball into the penalty area, took a long shot from outside the penalty area.

The football was confiscated by Hart.

The first match between the Belgian national team's main center forward and the captain's center back ended in a tie.

In the second minute, Manchester City served the ball and passed it in the backcourt.

He Tianqi signaled to the players to put pressure on the sidelines.

Salah charged towards Demichelis.

The former's pressing was much more aggressive than Bale's.

Before the game, Demichelis studied Bale's playing habits. When he was forced to take the ball, he panicked and made a hasty sideways pass.

Kompany failed to receive the ball.

Zabaleta did receive the call, but didn't receive it properly.

At this time, Mane also rushed over.

Zabaleta quickly kicked the ball out with his feet, preparing to find Toure.

As a result, De Bruyne also participated in the pressing, stretched out his foot to block the ball forward, and completed a through pass by intercepting and passing the ball.

Lukaku received the ball in the penalty area, almost unguarded.

He raised his left foot, faked a shot and passed the ball to Kaka.

Hart was fooled and made a direct save.

Kaka shot into the empty goal.

"GOAL! One to zero!"

"It's so easy!"

"Manchester City made a gift from the backcourt, Villa accepted it decisively and took the lead!"

"Demichelis' pass was terrible."

"Zabaletta also failed to handle the pressure, his ball control and passing were not up to par."

"It's not a good thing to let a team like Villa take the lead so easily."

“It will give their players more room to play.”

As expected, Villa played very smoothly afterwards.

In the sixth minute, Kaka dribbled through the right rib and made a straight pass. Salah cut into the penalty area on the right without the ball, and faced the attacking Hart with a lob shot, and the football flew towards the goal.

Kompany flew to clear the ball, but unfortunately he didn't touch the ball.

But fortunately, the linesman raised the flag.

Salah was offside and the goal was invalid.

In the ninth minute, Dzeko and Rudiger clashed while fighting for position.

The referee whistled for a foul on Dzeko, but also warned Rudiger.

In fact, the conflict was instigated by Rudiger.

He is so talkative.

He kept repeating in Dzeko's ear things like "We are the champions".

Dzeko was so angry that he replied, "What does the championship have to do with you? Did you play on the court?"

Both of them told the other that their defense was broken.

In the 15th minute, Mane broke through on the left side and Zabaleta retreated all the way. As a result, Mane dribbled the ball inside and shook off Zabaleta.

Too bad Toure is here too.

Mane could only retreat.

But Toure saw the opportunity, followed up and put physical pressure on Mane, knocking him down.

Mane thought there was a free kick, but the referee didn't whistle at all.

Toure's sense of proportion has reached perfection.

In the 17th minute, Kolarov made a cross pass from the left, Dzeko received the ball after leaving the penalty area, turned around and shot in one go.

Unfortunately, the football flew into the sky.

Too hasty.

Obviously, he hasn't calmed down yet.

In the 24th minute, David Silva took a corner kick and Kompany headed the ball.

Oblak made a great save.

His advanced statistics this season are no worse than Courtois.

It's just that he didn't get as many chances as Courtois.

In the 26th minute, Manchester City's defense had problems again.

Hart made a mistake in passing the ball, and when he passed it back to Kompany, he didn't notice Mane slipping in again.

As a result, Mane slid and touched the ball first, and then brought Kompany down, which was not considered a foul.

Lukaku stopped the ball at the top of the arc and moved forward, then caught up with the ball at the penalty spot and shot with his left foot.

Zidane and Southgate were ready to celebrate on the sidelines.

As a result, the football went wide of the goal.

Everyone was stunned.

In the 28th minute, Kaka was knocked to the ground by Navas when he received a high ball, but the referee did not blow the whistle.

In the 34th minute, Demichelis deliberately destroyed Lukaku's cylinder in a header and hit the opponent, and was shown a yellow card by the referee.

De Bruyne's free kick then went directly over the crossbar.

This ball is a medium-to-long-distance free kick, which is more suitable for Bale to take.

It's a pity that he didn't make the roster today.

In the 44th minute, Pogba made a mistake in passing the ball from the backcourt. He thought Rudiger would come up, but Rudiger did not.

Nasri rushed up and took the ball away.

But Pogba kept a positive attitude, quickly returned to defense, and rushed towards Nasri diagonally.
