Fang Jue didn't know and didn't pay attention to Inter Milan because of Coutinho's attention and purchases.

I don’t know and pay attention to the possible impact of this incident on this Brazilian guy.

Coutinho?

That's a tool guy, not Villa's player. Does it have anything to do with him?

November 30, Birmingham, St Andros Stadium.

The quarterfinals of the 2010/2011 English League Cup.

"Picking shot! Beautiful - the ball was scored! Diego Costa!!! Finals! The goal at the last moment! Two-to-one! Aston Villa defeated Birmingham!"

"Diego Costa! He scored the final goal for Aston Villa! At St Andrews Stadium, Costa scored twice! He helped capture this place!"

"Fang Jue said before the game that the Birmingham derby is different, and the game will be very difficult. He was right. The tenacious Birmingham once tied the score, but he was still defeated by Costa at the last moment."

Fang Jue hugged and celebrated with his assistants on the sidelines. Although he did not pay much attention to the League Cup, no one liked the loss, let alone this was a derby battle with Birmingham City.

"The game ends! The game ends! Congratulations to Aston Villa, as the champion of last season's League Cup, they eliminated Birmingham 2-1 away with Costa's brace and reached the semi-finals of the League Cup this season."

"In the game that had ended before, Arsenal, West Ham United and Ipswich were the first to enter the semi-finals."

"According to the schedule, Aston Villa's opponent in the League Cup semi-finals is West Ham United, while Arsenal's opponent is Ipswich of the Championship."

At the post-match press conference, Fang Jue praised Diego Costa.

"Diego is the guarantee of the goal."

“He is always trustworthy!”

"In my opinion, Diego has the ability to become the best scorer in football."

The reporters were not surprised at all that Fang Jue praised Costa so much. This Brazilian player was in very good shape.

Diego Costa scored 10 goals in the league last season, making it the third goalkeeper in Aston Villa after Ronaldo and Abonrajo, who also scored 11 goals.

This season, Costa is in a state of great shape with limited playing time.

Costa has scored eight goals in the league and has three assists.

Including these two goals today, Costa played in two of the three league cup games and scored three goals.

The most amazing thing is that in the UEFA Champions League, Diego Costa has scored five goals, second only to Messi, who scored 7 goals, ranks second, and third place is Costa’s teammate Bale, who scored four goals.

You should know that Croat only scored three goals in five games.

In addition, Costa is not Fang Jue's first choice on the front line. He only started two games in the Champions League and had three games as a substitute. It is crazy to be able to hand over such data.

In this way, Costa has scored 1 goal and three assists in all competitions this season, making him the number one scorer in Aston Villa's season.

The new season schedule has only been less than halfway through, and Costa’s impressive statistics are amazing.

Costa, who was taken to the press conference by Fang Jue, was in a good mood. He thanked the coach for his praise.

"I'm very happy to be able to score goals for Aston Villa and play for the boss."

However, what made the reporters' eyes lit up was Costa's subsequent words, "If the boss can give me more opportunities, I will be confident of scoring more goals."

Although Costa was talking with a smile, this was more like a joke.

But who is a reporter? He can be in trouble even if he has nothing to do.

They immediately interpreted Costa’s sentence in depth.

"Costa performed well and expressed his dissatisfaction with too little playing time!"

"Aston Villa is in disagreement, and Costa is dissatisfied with the lack of playing time."

After the game, similar titles flooded the media.

Fang Jue was a little irritated. Maybe Costa was just joking, or maybe this kid did express his desire to get more playing time in a half-joking way.

Objectively speaking, there is nothing wrong with Costa saying these words.

It is understandable that players want to get more playing time and start the game.

If it is inappropriate to say it, it is that Costa shouldn't have said this at the press conference.

However, this kid is very "crawling". When he speaks, he smiles with a joke.

Even if Fang Jue is unhappy, he cannot punish Costa for this little thing.

However, this incident also made Fang Jue start to be alert, not because he was dissatisfied with Costa, but because he realized that he had overlooked Costa's ideas.

Fang Jue favors the partnership between Shevchenko and Ronaldo.

Perhaps it is not appropriate for him to pay more attention to veterans, but only Fang Jue himself knows how terrifying and powerful the combination of these two veterans is.

The problem is here.

Costa, who started to make his mark last season, was in a surprisingly good shape this season. He scored the most goals as the third striker, and became the team's number one scorer in all seasons.

In this case, Costa’s dissatisfaction with the team’s pick is natural.

Fang Jue shook his head with a wry smile. He introduced Shevchenko and his idea was clear. The Ukrainian and Ronaldo partner could support the angry offensive line for two years. Then Costa grew up and could take over and form Aston Villa's future forward line with Abanglajo.

In addition, there is also a Valdy who is now polishing in the reserve team, Aston Villa will be worried about the forward line in the next seven or eight years.

The only thing he miscalculated was that Costa was growing too fast, and this kid was no longer satisfied with the important role of a substitute.

...

After the next day's training, Fang Jue stayed with Costa to talk.

He first tactfully criticized Costa’s words at the press conference.

"Diego, I understand what you think."

"If you have any ideas, you can communicate with me."

"I mean that there are some things we can communicate internally in the team."

"Yeah, do you understand what I mean?"

"Boss, I understand."

Costa nodded a little depressedly.

Fang Jue breathed a sigh of relief.

This is why he criticizes first and then comforts, and the order choice is very important.

Afterwards, Fang Jue reiterated his importance to Costa with a smile.

"Diego, I'm very optimistic about you. You are an important member of the team and the future of the team."

"Sheva and Ronnie are both older, and the team will rely on you to score goals in the future."

"So, don't worry about your future in Villa."

"Train and compete with peace of mind, you will have a very proud career here." Fang Jue patted Costa on the shoulder, "Go, don't think about it, I value you very much, this is more important than anything else!"

"I understand, boss." Costa nodded.

Fang Jue saw that Costa had a good attitude and he was in a good mood.

Here, after Costa left, he stayed in the parking lot for a while, and was alone in a daze, but did not leave immediately.

Looking at the head coach's office with lights on, the young Vera shooter muttered to himself, "Boss, I want to be the most important one for Vera now."

...

"Diego, where are you now?"

Costa received a call from his agent Jorge Mendes.

“I’m in the parking lot of the training ground and am about to go home.”

"I'm at your doorstep, there's something to do," Mendes said. "Come back quickly, huh, drive slowly."

On this side, Fang Jue also received a call from the club's general manager Byron.

Byron reported good news to him, and agreed with Ronaldo's personal treatment. The two clubs and the players themselves, agents and sponsors reached a consensus. The negotiations for Aston Villa to transfer from A.C. Milan to Aston Villa have been completed, so I am waiting to choose a good time to announce it.

This news made Fang Jue feel very good.

He is already imagining the fantastic frontcourt combination of Shevchenko, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Bale, Deisler and Barack. With important substitutes such as Mane, Costa, Abonrajo, Aston Villa's offensive firepower will be unprecedentedly terrifying!
Chapter completed!
