The Glory of the Godfather

Aston Villa’s American owner Randy Lerner finally decided to negotiate with the club’s acquirer.

Yes, this is the formal negotiation.

Whether it was Randy Lerner’s previous offer of 150 million pounds or the most recent offer of 140 million pounds, this is not a real negotiation. At best, this is the Yankees’ dreams in the day if they are willing to be willing. Make a profit when you get the bait.

Bank debt collection, Aston Villa’s six-game losing streak in the league, a lot behind fourth place Arsenal, and almost hopeless to hit the top four in the league. Under such circumstances, Randy Lerner finally couldn’t hold it, he was a bit discouraged. Now, really serious thinking about selling the club.

Of course, the decision to start formal negotiations to sell the team does not mean that the negotiations will go smoothly. Obviously, the Yankees still want to make a fortune.

Randy Lerner offered a price of 125 million pounds. Although there is still a suspicion of the lion's open mouth, Aston Villa cited various information, confidential data and market analysis reports to justify their price. It is reasonable and reasonable. In terms of negotiation behavior, this is a signal that the negotiation has really started.

The price tag of 125 million pounds was impossible for Fang Jue and Papa to accept. The price was obviously too high.

The rest is bargaining.

Fang Jue handed over the negotiation to Papa and the negotiating team. He put all his energy into La Liga and UEFA Cup matches.

In La Liga, after the 30th round of the league, Ibiza scored 80 points, ranking first in the league and 11 points ahead of second place Barcelona. Not only that, Ibiza is the only one in the top five leagues to remain unbeaten so far. The team, and Ibiza, who has just gone through the Devil's schedule, can be said to have a very promising prospect for winning.

In the UEFA Cup, Ibiza has reached the quarter-finals. In the first leg of the quarter-finals, he drew with Dynamo Kyiv zero-to-zero at home. He hopes to reach the UEFA Cup semi-finals.

Objectively speaking, Fang Jue had a meeting with the club’s top management and considered giving up the UEFA Cup and focusing on the league. However, he did not expect the team to reach the quarterfinals all the way, and it was only a step away from the semi-finals. By the time the league won the championship, the situation was very good. In the end, Fang Jue decided to continue to fight on the two fronts. However, he has already indicated to the club's top that once the league championship situation is not good, he will decisively abandon the UEFA Cup. In his heart, La Liga The league championship is unmatched by the UEFA Cup champions.

...

On April 16th, in the second round of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals, Ibiza was a guest in Kiev, Ukraine.

In the end, after ninety minutes of fierce battle, Ibiza relied on Aubameyang, who had returned from injury, to score after coming on the bench. He drew a draw with Dynamo Kyiv and eliminated Kiev with this precious away goal. Dynamo team successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup.

At this point, all the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup this season have been produced, namely Ibiza, Shakhtar Donetsk, Werder Bremen and Hamburg.

Ibiza’s opponent in the semi-final was Hamburg, and the other semi-final was Shakhtar Donetsk against Werder Bremen.

There are two Bundesliga teams reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, which makes the German media very proud. The German media even can't wait to shout out the slogan of the hope that the two German teams can compete in the UEFA Cup final.

The Spanish media also cheered for Ibiza's entry into the UEFA Cup semi-finals, more precisely, for Ibiza and Barcelona.

Just one day ago, the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League in the 2000/2009 season ended. Barcelona, ​​on the basis of a 4-0 victory over Bayern Munich in the first leg, scored a 1-1 with the Bundesliga South King in the second leg, with a total score. Five to one easily advanced to the semi-finals of the European Champions Cup.

The other three teams in the Champions League semi-finals this season are Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal. Yes, the other three teams are from the Premier League. This is the Champions League semi-finals for three consecutive seasons. Three teams are from the Premier League. In the 2006/2007 season, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool surrounded AC Milan, but they did not expect to achieve a great season for the beautiful young Kaka. Last season, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United surrounded Barcelona, ​​and finally Barcelona was killed by Manchester United in the semifinals. , The final became a civil war in the Premier League. Now, a year later, Barcelona is again facing the siege of the Premier League. The English media can't help but cheer and look forward to the grand occasion of the Premier League civil war in the UEFA Champions League final.

...

Three days later, Ibiza welcomed Mallorca at home in the league.

This is the last game of the thirty-first round of the league. In the previous game, Barcelona beat Getafe 1-0. The Catalan giants won it not easy. Obviously, the Champions League in midweek gave Barcelona some exhausted.

Therefore, the entire Spain’s eyes are now on the match between Ibiza and Mallorca. Compared with the four-to-zero victory over Bayern Munich in the first round and Barcelona, ​​which is relatively easy in the second round, Ibiza and Kiev Dynamo’s second round of the game was even more difficult. The two sides fought fiercely. Ibiza’s bench was far less thick than Barcelona. Therefore, the media are watching to see if Mallorca can block Iraq in this round. Visa.

Even Guardiola sat in front of the TV, watching the game.

With fewer and fewer rounds remaining in the league, Barcelona now expects blockers to come online in every round of the league.

The first half of the game was calm. As expected by the media, Ibiza looked very tired, but Mallorca did not seem to have the strength to act as a blocker. At the end of the first half, on the field The score is zero to zero.

During the intermission, the commentators were saying that the biggest possibility of this game is zero to zero, and Ibiza only scored one point. This is good news for Barcelona, ​​the first chaser.

Guardiola frowned and shook his head. Now that every point Ibiza gets, it means Barcelona has to catch up with a point. Of course he hopes Ibiza will lose.

The bland scene suddenly changed. Just five minutes into the second half of the game, the visiting team Mallorca scored.

Mallorca's 22-year-old young midfielder Jurado suddenly hit Ibiza with a long shot. The goalkeeper Bravo missed the ball and the football scored. Mallorca scored a goal in Ibiza away!

Guardiola waved his fist excitedly, he touched his mouth, his mouth seemed to be open, and he really loved this mouth.

Guardiola saw the hope of Ibiza's loss.

And as the game time passed, the light of hope in Guardiola's eyes grew brighter.

...

Eighty-one minutes into the game, the score was still zero to one, and the home team Ibiza was behind.

At this time, Fang Jue made the second substitution in the game. Today, Mata, who was in poor form, was replaced, and Danish veteran Thomason was replaced.

Only three minutes later, this substitution had a miraculous effect.

Royce, who had returned from injury, made a bottom pass on the right. Thomasson stepped forward and the experienced Danish veteran stabbed before defender Nunez.

One to one, Ibiza equalized the score.

Guardiola cursed depressedly, and then sighed helplessly. This is already the case. He can only accept the result of Ibiza being flattened. He said to himself that this is a relatively good result.

After that, Ibiza's team has been working hard for another goal.

Then, in today's game, the Polish center Lewandowski, who had performed before and in general, began his explosive performance.

He first received a pass from Deisler, headed for Ibiza to lead the score to two to one.

Immediately after the first minute of injury time, Lewandowski used a long shot from outside the penalty area and blasted the goal guarded by Mallorca's Spanish goalkeeper Moya!

Three to one!

Lewandowski scored twice and he sealed the victory for Ibiza.

"Robert Lewandowski! Robert Lewandowski! The Polish striker opened the door to victory for Ibiza. He scored two goals in five minutes, 3-1, and Ibiza will After winning the game, they continue to maintain an 11-point lead over Barcelona. There are still seven rounds of matches in the league. This newly promoted team is moving forward towards making history!" narrator Dolores shouted.

"Objectively speaking, Guardiola did a good job, but compared with Fang Jue..."

Hey, Guardiola turned off the TV, his face was pale, compared to being criticized for not doing well, this kind of you did a good job, you tried your best, but you are still not as good as someone's words, it hurts more...

...

Fang Jue also watched a game in front of the TV that night.

This is the Premier League match two and a half hours after the La Liga match in Ibiza, where Aston Villa will host West Ham United.

In the end, Aston Villa lost to the Hammers 1-2 at home.

Counting this game, Aston Villa has lost seven straight in the Premier League.

Seven consecutive losses have brought Aston Villa from third in the league to sixth in the league. There are currently five rounds left in the Premier League. Aston Villa is 11 points behind fourth place Arsenal. , It is so difficult to complete the goal of grabbing four.

Fang Jue was also embarrassed, and he couldn't wait to save Aston Villa from the desperate rule of the Yankees.

The next day, Papa told Fang Jue that Randy Lerner had cut the price by 5 million pounds and was willing to trade at 120 million pounds.

"What do you think?" Fang Jue asked.

"Wait." Papa said firmly. "I feel that Aston Villa will continue to lose. This team has lost fighting spirit."

"You make up your mind."

This week, La Liga is a double match in a week. In the mid-week match, the tired Ibiza failed to continue to win this time. They were drawn away by Osasuna zero-to-zero.

On another field, Barcelona beat Sevilla four to zero.

In this case, Barcelona took the opportunity to narrow the gap with Ibiza, and they are now 9 points behind Ibiza.

However, Guardiola did not have much joy. Ibiza was only one round late, but the impact was very different, because the league has one less round, and now there are six rounds left in the league. Barcelona is behind Ivi Sa has nine points. If Barcelona wants to make a comeback, they must hope that Ibiza will lose at least three games in the remaining six rounds of the league. Judging from Ibiza’s performance this season, this is almost impossible. I know, Ibiza has remained unbeaten in the season so far.

Four days later, in the 33rd round of La Liga, Ibiza defeated Deportivo de La Coruña with a goal from Lewandowski.

Xu is going to compete with Fran and Eto'o for the La Liga Golden Boots, which stimulated Lewandowski's fighting spirit. When the team was in a period of fatigue, the Poles became better and better. This goal It was also Lewandowski's 22nd goal in La Liga this season.

However, Lewandowski still needs to work **** the La Liga scorer list. Atletico Madrid’s Uruguayan striker Diego Fran is currently ranked first with 26 goals, and Barcelona’s Eto'o is second with 25 goals. The state of these two people is just right.

...

"Watching the desperate Aston Villa players walk out of the court, I have a question mark in my heart. Such a team, a team that has lost without morale, wants to take them out of the trough and create a team. A vigorous and victorious division, how much effort is needed for this? I don’t know. Even though I have full confidence in myself, I still scratch my head... Yes, Aston Villa has lost again. Lost to Bolton in a zero to one away game. This is already an eight-game losing streak in the Premier League of this former European champion..."

"For Aston Villa, the biggest blow is that after losing this game, they have fallen behind Arsenal by as much as 14 points. With four rounds left in the league, Aston Villa La missed the top four in advance...I am puzzled. Two months ago it was the third-placed team in the league, and it fell to this point two months later. This made me realize the cruelty of the Premier League for the first time. My head is full of question marks... Of course, there is no fear, how can such a fierce Premier League miss the best me? Although this is a bit of boasting, I think so. Who can have it at my age May lead a newly promoted team towards the La Liga championship? Only me!"

Fang Jue carefully checked the diary ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and revised some words, nodded in satisfaction, and then solemnly copied the matter in another diary. Well, if so, he still I accidentally wrote a few words incorrectly, crossed out and rewritten.

In the 34th round of the Premier League, Aston Villa lost to Bolton one-on-one, and the team suffered an unprecedented and tragic eight-game losing streak. .

Aston Villa missed the top four in the Premier League four rounds ahead of schedule. It was not Aston Villa fans or Aston Villa players that suffered the most, but the club’s American owner Randy Lerner.

The team completely missed the UEFA Champions League next season, which defeated Randy Lerner's last persistence and the final trump card.

This time, Randy Lerner finally gave up the ‘unrealistic’ idea of ​​‘making a big profit’, and based on Aston Villa’s market value as a benchmark, he took the initiative to lower the price significantly for the first time.
