The reason why he chose to krypton gold at the central defender was because Fang Jue finally made a decision and he agreed to Papastasopoulos' transfer request.

Seeing that he could only be on standby on the bench in Aston Villa.

The Greeks left the team with a very firm attitude, and he didn't want to stay on the bench anymore.

Even if Fang Jue forced himself to stay in Papastasopoulos for half a season, if he didn't do it well, it would affect the good atmosphere in the locker room.

Papastasopoulos's entry into the transfer market immediately attracted the attention of many teams that urgently needed to strengthen on the defense line.

Within the Premier League, Queen's Park Rangers, ranked last and Newcastle, ranked 15th in the league, are interested in introducing Papasta Sopolos.

The two teams conceded 36 and 39 goals in the 21st round of the league, especially Newcastle, who had just been knocked out by Arsenal and lost seven goals. The media even used "undefense" to describe Newcastle's defense.

Outside the Premier League, Dortmund also expressed his desire to introduce Papastasopoulos.

When the media reported that Dortmund was interested in Papastasopoulos, they joked that Dortmund coach Klopp was simply Fang Jue's "little fan" and very much favored the players under Fang Jue:

This can be seen from the experiences of Reus, Hummels, Lewandowski and Aubameyang.

Fang Jue left the transfer to the uniform team to worry about Papastasopoulos, and he only stipulated one principle:

The club will not set obstacles for Papastasopoulos' transfer, but buyers must show sincerity worthy of the Premier League champion defender.

...

Three days later, the third round of the FA Cup in England started and Premier League teams began to enter.

Aston Villa's opponent in the third round of the FA Cup is the Championship team Ipswich.

Ipswich is just a small team, but some old Premier League fans should have a certain impression of this team.

In the season, Ipswich became the big dark horse in the Premier League that season, and eventually ranked fifth in the Premier League, entering the European war, shocking everyone.

Then, the team was relegated in the second season and has been hanging around in the English Championship.

Fang Jue's goals have always been clear, and the Premier League and the Champions League are the key points.

Now for Aston Villa, the meaning of the League Cup and the FA Cup is to allow substitutes and young players to exercise.

Substitutes who don't get too many opportunities to play in the league and the Champions League can have a chance to show themselves in the cup.

Fang Jue took a considerable rotation in this game. In the end, the team defeated Ipswich 2-1 at home with the goal of veteran Inzaghi and French young player Pogba, and advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup.

...

In the middle of the week, Fang Jue rotated again in the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals.

The main players who played in the FA Cup against Ipswich were given a break, and some of the main players who did not play in that game were played in this game.

With the goal of veteran Ibrahimovic and the direct score of De Bruyne's free kick, Aston Villa defeated the Championship team Bradford 2-1 away and took the lead in the two-leg semi-finals.

Papastasopoulos' transfer has also made progress.

The Queen's Park Rangers are the most sincere. The team's offer to Papastasopoulos reached 15 million pounds, which made Fang Jue more satisfied. However, the Greek defender was unwilling to go to the Queen's Park Rangers.

Because this team is currently the last in the Premier League and the relegation situation is very serious, Papastasopoulos does not want to play in the English Championship next season.

At present, it is basically a choice between Newcastle and Dortmund in the Bundesliga.

For Papastasopoulos, going to Newcastle means he doesn't need to adapt to the new league style. However, Newcastle's relegation situation is also very serious, and he tends to go to Dortmund. The most important thing is that Dortmund has a bigger card and can play in the Champions League.

This season, Papastasopoulos has played for Aston Villa in the Champions League and can no longer play for Dortmund in the Champions League. However, the Greek defender has seen a lot, and he is watching next season.

Fang Jue respects Papastasopoulos's choice. He has only one requirement, and Dortmund has to show sincerity.

...

Liverpool.

The training base of the Everton Club.

"Steve, is Stones' signing completed?" Everton coach David Moyes asked his assistant Steve Round.

Everton's scout recommended Barnsley's young central defender John Stones to the club. Moyes is optimistic about the young defender and suggested that the club sign Stones.

"It's close to completion," said Ronder. "We communicated well with Stones's agent, only the last personal agreement."

At this moment, the phone on Moyes' desk rang.

"Okay, I understand." Motson's face was not very good-looking after putting down the phone.

"David, what's wrong?"

"Stones' agents informed us that they suspended negotiations with Everton."

"Why?" asked Ronde.

"You ask me who I want to go." Moyes was a little angry.

The answer will be revealed soon.

Aston Villa club announced on the same day that the team signed 18-year-old England defender John Stones from Barnsley Club for 3 million pounds, and the two sides signed a contract for five years.

After learning the news, Moyes was both angry and helpless.

Aston Villa took action to grab the people, and Everton was defeated and had nothing to say.

Not to mention anything else, Fang Jue is good at discovering and cultivating young people's names, which is fatal attraction to young players.

Moreover, Aston Villa's card is incomparable to Everton now.

...

On January 12, in the 22nd round of the Premier League, Aston Villa faced Southampton at home St Andrews Stadium.

The game has been in 81 minutes, and the score on the field is still one to one.

Ibrahimovic scored the first record for Aston Villa.

Lambert equalized Southampton in the second half.

Since then, although Aston Villa has made every effort to attack, he has always missed the goal.

Pogba got the ball in the midfield, and the French dribbled the ball and accelerated, squeezed out Rodriguez who was defending him, and pushed the football to Ha Mei.

Ha Mei shook her ankle and the football passed into the penalty area and landed at Ibrahimovic's feet.

Ibrahimovic was defended by the opponent in the penalty area. He tried his best to control the ball under his feet and wanted to find opportunities but failed, which made the Swedish veteran a little impatient.

Southampton was in very good shape today. The whole team was like a chicken blood, and withstood Aston Villa's bombardment.

Now Southampton is almost retreating from defense at all, and several players around Ibrahimovic have surrounded him.

In the narrow restricted area, the Swedes looked helpless.

Ibrahimovic tried to turn around and shoot, and he immediately realized that this was impossible.

He can only pass the football.

After Mane received the ball, he pushed it with the trend and wanted to pass it to Ibrahimovic again.

Then, as soon as the Swedes got the ball, the football was stabbed away.

...

After Schneiderlin intercepted the ball, he cleared the ball with his big foot and Clement pushed it back.

Lewandowski headed the ball and Ibrahimovic got the ball again and fell into a loop mode surrounded.

The Swedish veteran forced himself to calm down, and being impatient is useless.

At this time, he glanced at the gap in the left side of the penalty area, perhaps because Aston Villa's series of attacks were launched from the right, and Southampton's defense was seriously tilted to the left, and their right was temporarily empty.

This is a fleeting opportunity.

Ibrahimovic acted to turn around forcibly. When his body was about to twist, his ankle shook and the football flew to the left side.

"Ibrahimovic...turn, beautiful! The space on the left side, how did this ball pass..."

Everyone was shocked by Ibrahimovic's pass.

Aston Villa's player was amazed at Ibrahimovic's pass.

The Southampton players were panicked. Only then did they panic and see the gap on the right, but it was too late.

"Milner! He rushed up, he didn't stop the ball, and directly - shot!"

The football was directly pulled by Milner, making a muffled bang and rushed straight to the goal.

Everyone was shocked by Milner's shot.

They watched the football rush towards the goal, and finally passed through the hands of goalkeeper Boruc and crashed into the upper corner of the goal:

This is almost a theoretical blind spot!

...

“goooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaal!”

"James Milner! World Wave! Milner scored a World Wave, two to one! Aston Villa finally scored a goal!"

St Andrews Stadium went crazy with this burst shot.
