"The atmosphere inside the team is a bit depressing, and the players are not in high spirits."

Steve Warner said during the coaching staff routine meeting.

As a veteran employee of Aston Villa, Fang Jue arranged his main task to pay attention to the mental outlook and physical condition of the players, and be responsible for communicating with important players of the team.

Fang Jue nodded, "I can see it."

It was already mid-September, to be precise, this day was September 19.

After the national team match day, the league has been held for two rounds, and Aston Villa is in a bad situation.

Previously, in the fourth round of the league match against Fulham, the team's midfielder, captain Petrov, was injured and left the court, and the team's right-back Luke Young was injured and left the court.

The post-match diagnosis was that Petrov had a torn ligament in his left knee, which would be missed for eight to nine weeks.

In addition, Luke Young's thigh muscle strain will be absent for at least one month.

During the subsequent national team competition, Aston Villa suffered another heavy blow.

Deisler's muscle strain in the German national team will be missed for two to three weeks.

Veteran Husky also left the game with injuries during the England national team game, and the veteran will rest for four to five weeks.

Even the little guy Mane was injured in the Senegal National Youth Team game and will be absent for at least two months.

In addition, Gareth Bell, who is still recovering from injuries.

Aston Villa now has 6 players injured, four of whom are the absolute main players of the team.

This has not yet calculated the players who have minor injuries and insist on the game.

It is no exaggeration to describe the current Aston Villa as the full camp of wounded soldiers.

That's not counting. In the subsequent fifth round of the league and Birmingham derby, the exhausted Aston Villa played zero to zero with his opponent.

The score is zero to zero, and the scene is not dull at all.

A total of four players on both sides were sent off with red cards.

Aston Villa is Diego Costa sent off with a red card, and left-back Wilfred Booma was also sent off with a red card for accumulating yellow cards.

And because Diego Costa was directly shown a red card, the Brazilian was suspended for three additional games.

This will make things worse for Aston Villa's already poor family.

Then in the sixth round of the league yesterday, Aston Villa even barely got the roster together and eventually lost to Portsmouth at home.

Aston Villa suffered its first loss of the season.

The team was full of wounded soldiers, and the banned game was suspended. One draw and one loss for two consecutive rounds of games was greatly affected.

The coaching staff held a meeting and discussed for a long time how to stimulate the players' fighting spirit and improve the sluggish atmosphere in the locker room.

As we all know, the best way is to win quickly.

Nothing cannot be solved by a victory.

If not enough, keep winning.

However, Aston Villa's injury and suspension have damaged the team's strength and it is not that easy to win.

Fang Jue was also very depressed. He even doubted whether someone had cursed his team.

After all, this is not without precedent. In the second half of the league last season, Aston Villa's extremely strange twelve consecutive losses were an example.

...

The clouds dissipate and the rain stops.

"Why do I feel that you are not even more excited and brave than that day." Papa asked suddenly.

Fang Jue was stunned and understood what Papa meant.

He thought it would be the same?

The situation was special that day. In order to deal with the battle in the first and second half, he took energy potion, and of course it became even more intense. When Marina left, it was like a watered flower...

Besides, it’s not that he can’t do it. I don’t know if Papa is jealous and revenge. He has already had a three-game battle tonight…

Fang Jue quickly raised his hand and sent four. Because the team's current situation was not ideal, his condition was affected slightly.

"The team is in a good condition." Papa raised his head, picked up the water cup, and said with a mouth shut.

"I won't win two games, and the morale of the players has been affected." Fang Jue sighed comfortably.

"The league is ranked third, what else is not satisfied with?" Papa smiled. "Is it because the first four consecutive victories make the team feel a little too proud?"

Well?!

Fang Jue smashed his mouth and thought about it carefully, it was true.

Although the team has lost two games, it is not true if the situation is so bad.

After six rounds of the league, Aston Villa is currently ranked third in the league...

kindness?

We are still ranked third in the league?

Fang Jue picked up his phone and checked the standings. Seeing that the fourth brother behind Aston Villa was Arsenal, he shook his head, it seemed that it was true.

The team's injury situation and recent unsatisfactory record made him irritated, and he didn't pay attention to the standings for a while.

We didn't play well and were very anxious, but it didn't matter, someone was worse than us.

Thinking of this, Fang Jue felt much better.

...

the next day.

Vera Training Base.

Aston Villa's players entered the locker room and saw a piece of paper sticking on the wall.

This is the situation with the latest league standings that have been enlarged and printed.

And their head coach Fang Jue is staring at the standings.

Seeing that the players were all back, he turned around and looked at the players.

Fang Jue clapped his hands and signaled the players to listen to his speech.

"The team's situation has not been very good recently." Fang Jue said.

"I can see that everyone is in a bad mood," Fang Jue continued, "In fact, I am not in a good mood like everyone else."

"But, I looked at the standings this morning." Fang Jue looked at his players, "I suddenly felt very interesting. I felt it was necessary to give me and everyone a round of applause."

What rice?

Coach, are you sure this is not talking about the slander?

The players looked at each other.

"Isn't it?" Fang Jue expressed satisfaction with the players' reactions and said with a smile.

He pointed to the standings, "We are now ranked third in the league, surpassing Arsenal, and are only two points away from the defending champion Manchester United in front."

"But we were all very disappointed and were very dissatisfied with our performance."

"This is a good thing, everyone." Fang Jue smiled, "What does this mean? It means that we are all very confident, very strong, and have high standards for ourselves and the team."

"Come on, applaud, applaud, applaud." Fang Jue said loudly, "Don't be embarrassed, and don't suspect that I'm talking nonsense."

Seeing Fang Jue taking the lead in applauding, the applause rang out.

Fang Jue smiled, deliberately shook his head, sighed, "It seems that we are really floating, how can Arsenal behind us feel?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The applause became warm, some people laughed, and some people whistled.

"Guys, the team is now facing an injury crisis, which has affected our strength." Fang Jue continued to say until the players had enough trouble.

"Difficulties are temporary, and the future is bright." He waved his arm. "The league is long, we must have confidence in ourselves, of course, I am sure now that we all have confidence in ourselves-"

There was another burst of laughter.

...

"Let's set a goal," said Fang Jue. "During the winter break, we can stay in the top four, and that's victory."

"Coach, there is no winter break in the Premier League." Someone shouted.

"Of course I know, the tongue is wrong." Fang Jue deliberately looked stern, and finally smiled, "Okay, I mean, we stayed in that position on Christmas, and then we all had Christmas happily."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the locker room was much better, Fang Jue's assistant and Steven Werner of the coaching team, Sebalos, Osoralana and others were very happy.

"Fang is really amazing," Warner said in admiration. "Just just a conversation, the morale and mood of the players have improved a lot."

"No, the reason why the players and players are relaxed is Arsenal." Sebaslos said, "Everyone is relaxed when he sees Arsenal behind him."

Looking at Sebalus who said this lightly, Werner looked respectful and felt that he was looking at a wise man.
