Aston Villa, the defending champion of the Champions League and the fifth crown, is coming to Tokyo. This is a big event.

The Japanese media reported this incident with a complicated mentality.

Hundreds of fans were waiting outside the hotel. When the Aston Villa team arrived and got off the bus, it caused a huge commotion.

"Mr. Fang Jue."

"Coach Fang Jue!"

"Teacher Fang Jue!"

"Fang Jun!"

"The most popular is not Modric, not Suarez, nor Gareth Bale, not a player, but Mr. Fang Jue, the head coach of Aston Villa. When Mr. Fang Jue appeared in front of everyone, he was young The girls are already screaming...the girls are screaming like watching movie stars..."

"He is more popular than his players. The handsome young head coach not only makes the female students scream crazy, but even the housewife is obsessed with his charm...

Yumiko, a 27-year-old housewife, became fascinated by Fang Jue when Aston Villa visited Tokyo a year and a half ago. This time, she was very well-dressed and crowded among the crowd, screaming and cheering. When Fang Jue waved his hand, Yumiko's eyes seemed to glow..."

"Before this, it was Beckham... Kaka... Ronaldo that caused this sensation. These are all players. This is the first time that a coach has robbed everyone of the limelight."

The domestic media was also shocked by how popular they felt in Japan.

Everyone can't even understand the mentality of the Japanese nationals and think about it from another angle. Let alone a Japanese football coach, even a top Japanese star can hardly cause such a sensation and fascination in China.

Of course, scandals such as the wife of the Kurosawa family and Hidetoshi Nakata are another matter.

The "Tokyo Daily" summarized this: the sense of awe brought by being handsome, talented, rich, and able to conquer Europe.

...

Fang Jue issued an order to the team: absolutely must not do anything that affects the image of Aston Villa.

The implication is that those players who want to experience Japanese customs and culture, please relax.

This is not alarmist talk. Before many giant teams came to Japan, they often made some shit.

Ronaldo left his genetics in Japan and took root.

Ferdinand simply took care of a Japanese action movie star, and even brought it back to England, almost getting divorced.

Every time Beckham visits Japan, the hot girl must follow, and the reasons are self-evident.

The Aston Villa team arrived in Tokyo on the morning of December 12.

The Club World Cup is also an important opportunity for Aston Villa to further develop the Asian market, especially the East Asian market.

"Who made this schedule?" Fang Jue asked.

"Is there any problem? Boss." Byron saw Fang Jue's angry expression and asked cautiously.

"Withdraw." Fang Jue said with a serious expression, "One more thing, any time in the future, when it comes to the itinerary and event arrangements in Japan, it will be reported to me, and I can only pass it after review.

"Sorry, boss, I didn't review it strictly." Byron said quickly. "Fortunately, tomorrow's schedule has not affected it."

"Remember, I am Chinese and Villa is a Chinese-funded team. In this island country, any behavior of Aston Villa must meet the most basic requirements of a Chinese-funded enterprise."

"Understood." Byron nodded solemnly. This is the itinerary suggestion given by the Japanese side. Now it seems that fortunately, he is clever. Considering the historical enmity between China and Japan, he asks Fang Jue for instructions, otherwise it is true. There may be a problem.

Fang Jue was quite satisfied with Byron's attitude, but he also knew that it would be difficult for an Englishman to truly understand.

This incident gave Fang Jue a wake-up call. He was thinking about conducting basic training on ‘corporate culture’ within the Aston Villa Club, at least at the top level.

The most important thing is that the boss is a Chinese and Vera is a Chinese-funded team. To speak ill of China, disrespect China, and do things that Chinese people hate is to oppose the boss and get out!

No wonder Fang Jue got angry.

According to the plan, tomorrow, December 13th, the Aston Villa team will go to a nursing home in Tokyo to show their condolences and show Japanese fans the friendly and people-friendly side of Aston Villa.

Fang Jue directly rejected it, let alone whether the Japanese side deliberately, but his heart is shameful!

Go to the nursing home? Who knows if there is any kid alive inside!

Most importantly, what day is December 13th?

Fang Jue will not forget, nor can he forget!

...

On December 13, the Aston Villa team did not go out except for normal training. It was quiet.

The next day, after dinner, the Aston Villa team watched the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League round of 16 draw in Nyon, Switzerland.

After 6 match days in the group stage, the top 16 of the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League were all produced.

The outs of Manchester City and Manchester United against the Manchester duo and Porto and Valencia are no small upsets.

In particular, Manchester United failed to qualify from a good signing group, which is really unexpected.

Where there are upsets, there are dark horses. The Cyprus team Athletic Greece and the Swiss powerhouse Basel are dark horses in full color.

Among the 16 teams, 8 teams including Aston Villa have won the Champions League, and 2 teams were Champions League runners-up.

Only Chelsea and Aston Villa remain in the top 4 of the Premier League.

Serie A has the Milan duo and Naples advance.

In La Liga, only Real Madrid and Barcelona are left.

Only Bayern Munich and Leverkusen remain in the Bundesliga.

In Ligue 1, Marseille and Lyon are still alive.

According to UEFA's lottery rules, after entering the round of 16, the same country league and previous opponents in the same group will be avoided.

According to this principle, there may be some strong dialogues in the first round of the Champions League knockout round. For example, AC Milan, who qualified as the second team in the group, is not willing to meet.

Mr. Infantino, Secretary General of UEFA, presided over the drawing ceremony. Before the draw, he first wished Aston Villa, who participated in the Club World Cup in Tokyo, a good result. Responsibility, or more bluntly:

Aston Villa wants to bring back the Club World Cup for European football.

After introducing the 16 teams promoted through a short film, the drawing ceremony officially began. This season's UEFA Champions League final was held at Bayern Munich’s home stadium Allianz Arena. Therefore, UEFA invited the German legend Paul Blackner as a special Guests are invited to attend.

...

"We are likely to meet the Serie A team again." Ceballos said.

Fang Jue nodded, he also had this hunch.

Moreover, Fang Jue has an intuition that Aston Villa is likely to encounter AC Milan again.

Bayern, Inter Milan, Benfica, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Atlético de Greece and Barcelona are the first to qualify in the group.

The second qualifying team in the group includes Naples, CSKA Moscow, Basel, Lyon, Leverkusen, Marseille, Zenit, AC Milan.

Since Platini came to power, the drama of the Premier League and Serie A has been staged almost every year, becoming the oldest routine.

In this draw, AC Milan and Naples have a 28% chance of winning Chelsea or Aston Villa.

Among them, Aston Villa, as the Champions League defending champion, is recognized as the strongest among the first team in the group; AC Milan is recognized as the strongest among the second team in the group.

Fang Jue wondered, according to UEFA's urine, it is really possible to arrange for Aston Villa and AC Milan to meet again.

Otherwise, the Champions League round of 16 matches, but there really isn't even a strong dialogue. Ran Wen Novel

Sure enough, as Aston Villa speculated, Infantino drew AC Milan to Aston Villa.

The representatives of the various clubs on the scene, except for the AC Milan vice chairman Galliani, all smiled and applauded.

The Rossoneri is the second landmine in the group, and everyone is unwilling to touch it. UEFA assigned AC Milan to Aston Villa, and everyone loves to see it.

Galliani frowned, which was the worst draw for AC Milan.

To know that in the Champions League last season, the two teams met. At that time, Milan was two to four at home and one to two away. The total score was eliminated by three to six, and the losers had no temper.

In addition to Aston Villa drew AC Milan, Chelsea also drew Naples, UEFA once again ‘arranged’ the Premier League Serie A matchup.

In addition, Bayern Munich drew Basel, Barcelona drew Leverkusen, Inter Milan drew Marseille, Real Madrid drew CSKA Moscow, and the signings were all good.

Lineker, the guest of the BBC5 commentary draw, also shook his head and said with a smile, "Aston Villa is assigned to AC Milan, other teams are naturally good."

Another commentator, Eddie Gray, sarcastically said that the Premier League once again encountered Serie A, a familiar script.

Last season, Aston Villa faced AC Milan and Inter Milan in the knockout rounds.

In fact, in the last five seasons, the Premier League Serie A has suffered at least two deaths, which is why Platini and UEFA’s conspiracy theories against the Premier League Serie A have become popular.

In addition, this time the Ligue 1 giants Lyon won the super gift package of Atletico Greece, which is regarded as the weakest team in the top 16. The suspicion of drawing a lot of tricks is even more important.

...

AC Milan drew Aston Villa, which is undoubtedly the most watched game in the Champions League with 16 wins and 8 knockouts.

After the draw was announced, AC Milan Vice President Galliani said, "We have won the Champions League seven times, and Aston Villa has only one time! This is a good draw, and we all want revenge in our dreams."

Galliani's meaning is clear. AC Milan is a frequent visitor to the Champions League. There is no reason to fear a team that has only won the Champions League once.

So the best result for Milan is to go to London to complete revenge.

Milan coach Allegri pointed out more cautiously that the key to defeating Aston Villa is that Milan cannot have too many injuries.

Compared with Galliani's confidence in claiming revenge, the Italian media is not so optimistic.

"Roma Sport": Aston Villa is a tough opponent Milan can meet.

"Torino Sport": AC Milan is facing a daunting task. To enter the quarterfinals, it must defeat the powerful defending champion.

"Milan Sport Edition" cheer for AC Milan and Naples: if Aston Villa and Chelsea are eliminated, it will be the first time since 1996 that no Premier League team has entered the Champions League quarter-finals.

"Evening Post": Milan's promotion task is very difficult.

On the second day, at a press conference before the start of the semi-finals of the Club World Cup with Bai Sun God, a reporter asked Fang Jue how to respond to Galliani's remarks.

"Milan is the team with the second most wins in the Champions League. It is a great and respectable team. The result of the draw means that we will have two fantastic matches."

"To be honest, we definitely hope to meet other teams second. However, we have a certain advantage in order to be the first guest and then the master."

"Last season's Champions League round of 16 knockout match against AC Milan, we won four to two at the San Siro Stadium, and we finally advanced, so our recent history is worthy of joy."

This answer somewhat disappointed reporters who were eager to watch the excitement.

Fang Jue is naturally not obligated to meet the needs of the reporters, and he is not an obsessive Tai Ritian.

Fang Jue is not the kind of unprovoked provocation. His answer is very decent, which not only expresses respect for the opponent, but also shows his strong confidence in Aston Villa.

...

"What's the weather forecast?" Fang Jue asked Ceballos.

"It won't be sunny tomorrow." Ceballos said, "There may even be moderate rain during the game."

Fang Jue frowned slightly.

There is already a chill in Tokyo in December.

The most important thing is that on rainy days, the court is wet and slippery, which greatly increases the possibility of injury.

For the Club World Cup, Fang Jue's mentality is that he hopes the team can win the championship in a relatively relaxed way.

Yes, he is about to decide on the championship, and hopes that the process will be easier without sweating.

One of the most important things to avoid is injury to the players.

"When warming up, you, Werner and Enke will check the turf condition in time intervals, so that you know it well," Fang Jue said.

"understand."

Fang Jue fell into deep thought.

In this game, his requirements for the team are very simple.

To win.

Goal more goals.

Goals as many goals as possible.

At the same time, there is an additional task: the whole team should try their best to cooperate with Bell to make Bell perform well. It is best to shine as much as possible.

Voting for the FIFA Ballon d'Or is nearing its deadline, and Aston Villa must do everything possible to make Belldo perform and canvass for Bell.

...

Approaching the Yokohama National Stadium in Tokyo, although the Tokyo police car escorted the way, the speed is getting slower and slower.

This is because a large number of fans from both sides have gathered.

Among them, only a relatively small number are Aston Villa fans, and many of them are Aston Villa fans from China and Southeast Asia, and relatively few from the UK.

Most of them are fans wearing Kashiwa Helios jerseys, and some fans are wearing Blue Samurai jerseys of the Japanese national team.

When they saw Aston Villa's bus, these Japanese fans were all excitedly waving their arms and team flags, shouting, and fans giving thumbs up to Aston Villa's bus.

There is no such tit-for-tat scene, but relatively harmonious.

"Japanese fans are really enthusiastic." Ceballos said.

"You said they will support us after the game starts." Werner also said.

You are thinking about fart.

Fang Jue snorted without a smile.

Don't look at these fans in harmony now, but after the game starts, they must support their national team.

but……

"The more we beat the sun god~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the more Japanese fans respect and support us." Fang Jue said.

"Impossible." Ceballos said immediately, shaking his head.

"No, no, it is possible." Werner said, "I heard Ronaldinho say that during the Beijing Olympics, even though they won the Chinese team, many Chinese fans cheered for the Brazilian team. ."

"En?" Fang Jue was surprised, "What slogan did they shout? Brazil, come on?"

"It doesn't seem to be." Werner thought for a while, "I remember, it was written Yalong Soy Sauce."

Fang Jue took a serious look at Werner, he was confirming whether this guy was a senior black.
