Aston Villa's American boss Randy Lerner finally decided to formally negotiate with the club's acquirer.

Yes, this is the formal negotiation.

Whether Randilner offered 150 million pounds or the recent offer 140 million pounds, this cannot be considered a real negotiation. At best, the Americans dreamed in the daytime that if Kaizi was willing to take the bait, they would make a fortune.

Bank debt collection, Aston Villa lost six consecutive league games, falling behind fourth place Arsenal, and almost no hope of reaching the top four in the league. Under such circumstances, Randylna finally couldn't hold on. He was a little discouraged and really considered selling the club seriously.

Of course, deciding to start formal negotiations to sell the team does not mean that the negotiations will go smoothly. Obviously, the Americans still want to make a big profit.

Randylna offered 125 million pounds. Although this is still suspected of being a lion's big talk, Aston Villa listed various information, confidential data and market analysis reports to prove that their price code is reasonable. In terms of negotiation behavior, this is a signal that the negotiation is truly opened.

Fang Jue and Papa could not accept the price of 125 million pounds, and this price was obviously too high.

All that remains is bargaining.

Fang Jue left the negotiations to Papa and the negotiation team, and he devoted all his energy to the La Liga and UEFA Cup events.

In the La Liga, after 30 rounds of the league, Ibiza scored 80 points, ranking first in the league, leading Barcelona 11 points. Not only that, Ibiza is also the only team in the five major leagues that remain unbeaten so far. Ibiza, who has just experienced the devil schedule, can be said to have a very optimistic prospect for winning the championship.

In the UEFA Cup, Ibiza has reached the quarterfinals and drew with Dynamo Kiev at home in the first leg of the quarterfinals, with a high hopes of reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup.

Objectively speaking, Fang Jue had a meeting with the club's senior management and had considered giving up the UEFA Cup and specializing in the league. However, he did not expect that the team would reach the quarterfinals all the way, which was only one step away from the semi-finals. Considering the good situation of winning the league, Fang Jue finally decided to continue fighting on both sides. However, he had already shown to the club's senior management that once the league championship situation is not good, he would decisively give up the UEFA Cup. In his heart, the La Liga championship is unmatched by the UEFA Cup.

...

On April 16, in the second leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals, Ibiza was a visit to Kiev, Ukraine.

Finally, after 90 minutes of fierce battle, Ibiza drew Dynamo Kiev 1-1 away with a goal after returning from injury Aubameyang after coming on the bench, and with this precious away goal, he eliminated Dynamo Kiev and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup.

At this point, all four of the UEFA Cup have emerged this season, namely Ibiza, Donetsk Miners, Werder Bremen and Hamburg.

Ibiza's opponent in the semi-finals was Hamburg, and the other semi-finals were Donetsk Miners vs. Werder Bremen.

Two Bundesliga teams reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, which made the German media very proud. The German media couldn't wait to shout the slogan of hoping that the two German teams could meet in the UEFA Cup final.

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

Just one day ago, the quarterfinals of the 008/09 European Champions League season ended. Barcelona won Bayern Munich in the first leg four-0 and played one-to-one away with the Bundesliga Kings in the second leg, and easily advanced to the semi-finals of the European Champions League with a total score of 5-1.

The other three teams in the semi-finals of the European Champions League this season are Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal. Yes, the other three teams are from the Premier League. This is the three teams in the Champions League semi-finals of the European Champions League for three consecutive seasons. In the 006/007 season, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool have siege Milan, but they did not expect to make the great season of the beautiful young Kaka. Last season, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United encircled Barcelona. In the end, Barcelona was killed by Manchester United in the semi-finals, and the final became a Premier League civil war. A year later, Barcelona is facing the Premier League encirclement again, and the English media can no longer help cheer and look forward to the grand event of the Premier League civil war in the European Champions League final league.

...

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

This is the last game of the 31st round of the league. In the previous game, Barcelona beat Getafe 1-0 away. The Catalan giants won it not be easy. It is obvious that the Champions League midweek made Barcelona a little tired.

So, now the whole Spain is focused on the match between Ibiza and Mallorca. Compared to Barcelona, ​​which is 4-0 in the first round and is relatively relaxed in the second round, Ibiza and Dynamo Kiev played more difficult in the second round. Both sides fought fiercely, and Ibiza's bench thickness is far less than Barcelona. Therefore, the media are watching to see if Mallorca can block Ibiza away in this round.

Even Guardiola sat in front of the TV to watch the game.

With fewer and fewer rounds left in the league, Barcelona is now looking forward to a blocker coming online in every round of the league.

The first half of this game was calm. As the media expected, Ibiza seemed very tired, but Mallorca did not seem to be a blocker. At the end of the first half, the score on the field was zero to zero.

During the halftime break, the commentators said that the biggest possibility of this game was zero to zero, and Ibiza only scored one point, which is also good news for the number one chaser Barcelona.

Guardiola frowned and shook his head. Now every point Ibiza scored, it means Barcelona will catch up with one point. Of course, he hoped that Ibiza would lose.

The dull scene suddenly changed. Just five minutes into the second half, the away team Mallorca scored a goal.

Mallorca's young midfielder Jurado suddenly shot Ibiza off guard, goalkeeper Bravo failed to save the ball, football entered the net, Mallorca 1-0 Ibiza away!

Guardiola waved his fists excitedly. He touched his mouth, and his mouth seemed to be shining. He really loved this mouth so much.

Guardiola saw hope for Ibiza to lose.

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

...

The game has been in 81 minutes, and the score on the field is still zero to one, and the home team Ibiza is behind.

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

Just three minutes later, this substitution received a miraculous effect.

Reus, who returned from injury, made a cross from the bottom of the right, and Thomason stepped forward, and the experienced Danish veteran shot before defender Nunez.

One to one, Ibiza equalized the score.

Guardiola cursed depressedly, and then sighed helplessly. It was already like this, and he could only accept the result of Ibiza being tied. He told himself that this was a relatively good result.

Then Ibiza's entire team was working hard to score another goal.

Then, today's game, Polish center Lewandowski, who had previously performed well in the previous game, began his own burst performance.

He first received a pass from Deisler, heading the ball for Ibiza to overtake the score to two-to-one.

Immediately in the first minute of injury time, Lewandowski used another long shot outside the penalty area to break open the goal guarded by Mallorca's Spanish goalkeeper Moya!

Three to one!

Lewandowski scored twice, and he secured the victory for Ibiza.

"Robert Lewandowski! Robert Lewandowski! The Polish forward opened the door to victory for Ibiza. He scored two goals in five minutes, three to one, and Ibiza will win the game. They continue to maintain an eleven-point lead over Barcelona. There are still seven rounds of league games. This newly promoted team is moving towards creating history!" commentator Dolores yelled.

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

Pa, Guardiola turned off the TV, his face turned pale. Compared to being criticized for not doing well, you did a good job, you tried your best, but you were still not as hurtful as someone's words...

...

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

This is a Premier League match two and a half hours after the La Liga event in Ibiza, with Aston Villa playing against West Ham United at home.

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

Including this game, Aston Villa has lost seven consecutive times in the Premier League.

With seven consecutive losses, Aston Villa was pulled from third place in the league to sixth place in the league. Currently, there are five rounds left in the Premier League. Aston Villa is 11 points behind fourth place Arsenal. It is so difficult to achieve the goal of winning the fourth place.

Fang Jue was also sighing. He was now eager to save Aston Villa from the dire rule of the Americans.

The next day, Papa told Fang Jue that Randylna had cut the price by 5 million pounds and was willing to trade for 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 the fighting spirit."

"You make an idea."

This week, the La Liga was a double match. In the mid-week game, the tired Ibiza did not continue to win this time. They were tied by Osasuna zero-to-zero away.

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 there was another round missing in the league. Now there are six rounds left in the league. Barcelona is nine points behind Ibiza. If Barcelona wants to turn the tables, 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. You know, Ibiza has remained unbeaten so far.

Four days later, in the 33rd round of the La Liga, Ibiza defeated La Coruña 1-0 at home with Lewandowski's goal.

Perhaps he wanted to compete with Fran and Etoo for the Golden Boot of La Liga, which stimulated Lewandowski's fighting spirit. When the team was in a period of fatigue, the Poles' form became more and more outstanding. This goal was also Lewandowski's first goal in the La Liga this season.

However, Lewandowski still needs to continue to work hard in the La Liga scorer list. Atletico Madrid's Uruguayan scorer Diego Fran is currently ranked first with 6 goals, and Barcelona's Etoo is ranked second with 5 goals. These two people are in just the right shape.

...

"Watching the insane Aston Villa player walking out of the stadium, I have a question mark in my heart. Such a team, a team that has lost without morale, wants to bring them out of the trough and build a victorious army with high morale, how much effort does it take? I don't know, although I have full confidence in myself, I still scratch my head... Yes, Aston Villa lost again, and they lost to Bolton 0-1 away. This is already the eight-game losing streak of this former European champion in the Premier League... "

"For Aston Villa, the biggest blow is that after losing this game, they are already fourteen points behind Arsenal. With four rounds left in the league, Aston Villa missed the top four ahead of schedule... I am very puzzled. The team that was the third in the league two months ago actually fell to this point two months later. This made me realize the cruelty of the Premier League for the first time, and at the same time, I was full of question marks... Of course, there is no fear. How can such a fierce Premier League be missing the best me? Although this is a bit boastful, I think so, who can lead a newly promoted team toward the La Liga championship at my age? Only me!"

Fang Jue carefully checked the diary, modified some of the words, nodded with satisfaction, and then solemnly copied it on another diary. Well, even so, he accidentally wrote a few words wrong and crossed them out and rewrite them.

In the 34th round of the Premier League, Aston Villa lost to Bolton by 100, and the team suffered an unprecedented and tragic eight-game losing streak...

Aston Villa missed the top four Premier League four rounds ahead of schedule. The biggest hit was not Aston Villa fans or Aston Villa players, but the club's American boss Randy Lerna.

The team completely missed the Champions League next season, which made Randylna's last persistence and final trump card missed.

This time, Randylna finally gave up the idea of ​​"making a lot of money" and took the initiative to significantly reduce the price code for the first time based on Aston Villa's market value.
Chapter completed!
