Chapter 559
More and more media journalists gathered at the Vera training base.
There are also more and more fans coming to the training base to watch Aston Villa's training.
Fang Jue announced on the grounds that the gathering of reporters affected Aston Villa's normal training and preparation, the team announced that the team would conduct closed training in the two days before the game against Manchester United.
This is not entirely an excuse. The "harassment" of media reporters has indeed affected Aston Villa's preparations.
In addition, the media frequently hyped up the incident of Beckham returning to Old Trafford, which will bring up the rhythm and affect the mood of other Aston Villa players.
Not jealousy.
It's irritable.
When reporters catch Aston Villa players, they will ask their opinions on the game, ask how Beckham performs and how he is in his mood, which will naturally affect the players.
The reporters were very dissatisfied with Aston Villa's closed training and they strongly protested.
Fang Jue ignored it at all.
With the team's closed training, Fang Jue can also close the door and let Ronaldo go.
Now the outside world has concluded that Ronaldo was injured. Some say the injury was serious, while others say it was okay. However, the general consensus is that Ronaldo will definitely miss the game against Manchester United.
This is exactly the little surprise that Fang Jue planned to give to Ferguson.
With closed training, Ronaldo can quietly return to the team to participate in the team training and competitions.
In the past two days, young defender O'Haloran drove Ronaldo to the training ground. Ronaldo sat in the back seat, and in order to prevent reporters from discovering, he would even lie in the seat and sneak in.
Why choose O'Haloran? This young left-back is a transparent player in the team, and the reporter would not notice him at all.
The "job" arranged by Fang Jue made the young O'Haloran feel excited, and he felt like he was participating in a spy war drama.
...
Two days later.
Aston Villa's entire team set off for Manchester City.
When Aston Villa's bus approached Manchester, a reporter's interview car followed them all the way to the hotel.
This game is the absolute focus of this round.
The Premier League live broadcast copyright holder has announced that Aston Villa will provide live broadcast signals to all TV stations around the world that have purchased copyrights.
The Times predicts that at least 120 countries and regions around the world will broadcast the game live.
Aston Villa arrived at the hotel.
The players just got off the car and were flashing.
In addition to Beckham's factor, it attracted a lot of reporters.
In fact, Aston Villa is the third place in the Premier League and the biggest dark horse in the Premier League this season, they are enough to attract the attention of reporters, but today everyone is going to "give way" to Beckham.
There were a large number of Manchester United fans at the scene.
They all came to ‘welcome’ Beckham.
"Welcome home, David!"
Some Manchester United fans shouted with such a sign.
Beckham was a little moved and waved to greet Manchester United fans.
However, there are still some Manchester United fans who obviously do not welcome him.
The banner they held said 'Traitor'!
Words like "Judas", etc.
These fans believe that Beckham's return to the Premier League and joining Aston Villa is a betrayal and disloyal to Manchester United.
They shouted some slogans that were rude to Beckham.
Fang Jue was a little worried that Beckham would be stimulated.
To his surprise, though, Beckham handled it quite well:
Facing the fans who insulted him, he did not wave his hand, which may be understood as a provocative act; therefore, Beckham faced it with a smile, while speeding up his pace and leaving as soon as possible to avoid the possibility of unexpected situations.
Fang Jue nodded secretly. It was obvious that for Beckham, who was used to big scenes, he would not have any problems with such a scene.
...
The last one to get off the bus was Ronaldo.
Brazilians are leaning on crutches and their expressions are calm.
Seeing this scene, the reporters finally took their attention away from Beckham for a while.
All are crutches.
It seems that the situation is not very optimistic.
There is definitely no way to play against Manchester United, and it is very likely that Ronaldo will not be able to play in the League Cup final at the end of the month.
Soon, at the Carrington training base, Ferguson also received the latest news that Ronaldo came with crutches and could not get on the field.
"Jazz, finally, confirm again that Ronaldo cannot play," said McFerran.
...
At the press conference before the game, Fang Jue and Ferguson met.
The two chatted for a while before the press conference began, and neither of them mentioned Beckham's name.
However, it almost ended in a bad mood.
"Sell Abanglaho to me."
"Don't even think about it." Fang Jue refused flatly. He was a little angry. He gave Ashley Young to Manchester United, and Ferguson was even drooling at Abang Raho.
"Then give me Milner," Ferguson said.
Fang Jue sneered, why are you so big?
At the same time, Fang Jue became alert. Ferguson had been coveting Abanglaho, and he knew that he had not expected that the old man had targeted Milner.
Fang Jue had just come to the Premier League, so he didn't know that in fact, seven years ago, Ferguson targeted Milner, who was only seventeen years old at the time.
At that time, Ferguson was inspecting Manchester City and playing against Leeds, mainly watching and inspecting Viduca's performance.
Interestingly, the performance of Leeds United's young rookie Milner made Ferguson's eyes shine.
The Leeds forward, who was only 17 years old at the time, was regarded by the media as the most popular newcomer besides Everton's Rooney at that time. Yes, Milner was the winger at that time.
Milner, who was only 16 years and 357 days old, scored a goal against Deselli in the game against Chelsea, reducing Rooney's youngest goal record in the Premier League by another 4 days.
However, later Ferguson saw Leeds United arrange to play Milner more as the left forward. Manchester United does not lack people in this position, so Manchester United did not have a real offer to buy Milner.
Now, seeing Milner playing better and better under Fang Jue's command, it's like a brick of construction. You can play wherever you need to go, left back, left forward, back midfielder, right midfielder, and winger, and all perform well, at least above the passing line.
This made Ferguson feel moved, and he wanted to connect to the marriage line that had been broken for seven years.
However, this made Fang Jue alert in advance. He secretly kept it in his heart and arranged for the team to renew the contract with Milner as soon as possible when he went back.
Fang felt uneasy. Although Manchester United's excavators were incomparable to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, they were also quite sharp.
...
Press conference.
"Manchester United's goal is the championship!" Ferguson smiled.
"We must win today's game! We can continue to chase Chelsea."
"Aston Villa deserves respect, but, they can't stop us."
Fang Jue glanced at Ferguson, hey, this old man, this is a letter of war.
He kept wondering that the old man did not launch a psychological war this time, and he was waiting here.
Chapter completed!
