The Glory of the Godfather

Bambali, a remote village in Senegal, about 3,000 miles from Villa Park.

This is a brand new three-story building.

The most intuitive impression of the building is: big.

It covers a large area.

This means there are enough rooms.

This is also the most beautiful residence in the village.

This is Mane's home.

The kid who played football in faraway Europe sent most of his salary back home. The house built a building and bought brand new furniture and appliances.

There are more than 60 residents in the entire building, including brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins, cousins, cousins, cousins, grandparents, cousins, grandparents, siblings and their families in Mane .

The boy who went out to play football at the age of fifteen, pursued his dreams, and finally started to stand out, won the La Liga championship trophy, now playing in the Premier League and earning pounds, is the pride of the whole family and...long-term meal ticket.

Someone in the family is getting ahead, and the whole family lives together and enjoys happiness. This is the norm in Senegal, to be exact, in the whole of Africa.

For example, the Cameroon star Alexander Song, who now plays for the Premier League giants Arsenal.

After he renewed his contract at Arsenal and got a big contract, he immediately bought a sports car.

Then, a month later, the star sold the luxury car and replaced it with a slightly ordinary BMW.

The reason was that he felt that he could not afford expensive sports cars.

Because he has more than two hundred relatives to feed.

Alexander Song's father died when he was two years old, but he left five wives and 28 siblings.

These 28 siblings got married and had children and continued to expand.

He worked hard as a meal ticket for the whole family.

More than two hundred relatives do not do any work. All they have to do is call Alexander Song every day: make money!

It happened that Alexander Song Qian was stripped by his relatives. The relatives clamored that there was no steak, and Fabregas bought a cart of beef to send to his relatives.

Perhaps Mane is more fortunate than Alexander Song. Although his family is also in his light, they have not completely given up their work. Most of the family members are still willing to do some work.

This is due to the fact that there is a good mother in Mane. When a mother does not want her son to work too hard, she warns other members of the family, those who do not work, not to get money from Mane.

Being a mother really loves her son.

Although the effect is not good, it is at least useful. There are fewer people who just want to **** blood from horses.

In the slow pace of life in Bambari, sitting in front of the TV to watch the distant England game and watching Mane play football, this has become the biggest event of the whole family.

...

When Mane received a pass from Quaresma, drove the ball all the way, and finally scored the football into the goal of Wigan Athletic.

The people in the big room of the living room went into ecstasy and yelled.

The boys sitting in the front row cheered.

There was a boy kneeling on the floor, and another kid jumped into the air and waved his arms to celebrate.

A lady looked so happy, as if she had heard the best news in the world...

Mane's golden ball helped Aston Villa seal the victory.

And Mane—Bambari’s child, the pride of the entire family—is the hero of the entire village.

Due to the noise, more and more local people poured into the room, and the audience in the room eventually exceeded 100 people.

On TV, the black boy who scored the goal was a little dazed.

This is a child with a phobia of celebrating choice.

He remembered what his former teammate Farreco told him: When you don't know how to celebrate, just laugh, and that's it. Your mother and your family will be very happy when they see your smile.

Then, Sadio Mane, who was surrounded and celebrated by his teammates, opened his mouth and smiled, looking a little silly.

In front of the TV, a black woman was wiping her tears. By her side, relatives and friends congratulated her and praised her for having an amazing son.

"Sadio Mane! This is the first Premier League goal he scored on behalf of Aston Villa! This 17-year-old young man scored a crucial goal!"! John Mortensen said in the commentary.

"Yes! Very important, very important goal. I want to praise this kid. From receiving the ball, to dribbling the ball all the way, getting rid of the entanglement of the defender, and then to the goalkeeper and shooting. Picky!"

"Look, someone must be very proud." Mortensen said with a smile.

On the sidelines, Fang Jue had his hands on his hips, laughed loudly, and his expression was extremely triumphant, but he broke him.

"This goal will make young Mane the darling of the media after the game, and also make his coach extremely proud and proud."

...

A few minutes later, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game.

"The game is over! Aston Villa finally killed the game with Mane's last-minute goal, and they beat Wigan Athletic three to one away!"

"This is Aston Villa's 13th Premier League victory this season. Fang Jue's team continues to win. They are the biggest surprise of the Premier League this season."

"Ashley Young's departure worried Aston Villa fans. Fang Jue's hand-picked Mane used a goal to tell everyone that the coach was optimistic that he was the right choice. At the very least, from this game, everything is wonderful. ."

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the DW stadium booed.

Only the Aston Villa people were celebrating the victory with excitement.

"With this ~www.ltnovel.com~ victory, Aston Villa's points reached 45 points, and their ranking and points also surpassed Manchester United. In addition, they also tied Chelsea in points and won by The reason for the negative relationship has become the new league leader."

"However, the Chelsea game, Manchester United game, and Arsenal game will be played tomorrow. Aston Villa's top spot may be lost after days, and Manchester United who wins will also overtake, but at least In the next 24 hours, Aston Villa is the leader of the Premier League!"

On the field, Mane became the focus of everyone.

Everyone gathered to congratulate him on his first league goal.

He saw Fang Jue also walked up.

"Congratulations, Sadio." Fang Jue hugged Mane and patted the little guy on the shoulder, "I said, you can! Believe in yourself!"

Ma Nei nodded vigorously.

...

At this time, assistant coach Ceballos came over with his mobile phone.

"Here you!" Fang Jue answered the phone and handed it to Mane.

"What?" The little guy was a little confused.

"Your phone." Fang Jue said with a smile, "It's your mother."

Ma Nei's eyes widened, shining brightly.

"Sadio, is that you? My child."

"It's me, it's me, mom, mom, did you watch the game? My goal, I scored."

"I saw it, I saw it." In a brand-new building in a small village three thousand miles away, when the mother wiped her tears, she glanced at the excited family members who cheered and celebrated, "Everyone is watching the game and very happy."

"Mom, are you happy?"

"happy happy."

"Did my mother receive the New Year gift I sent back?"

"I received it. Mom likes it very much." Mother Mane stroked an album with photos of Mane. He asked his teammates to help take the photo. "This is the best gift."

"I watched TV and said it was going to snow in the UK, so you should be careful not to catch a cold."

"Does any girl like our Sadio?"

Fang Jue stood not far away, watching this scene quietly, with a smile on his face...

...

At the post-match press conference, Wigan Athletic's Belgian coach Martinez praised Aston Villa's young teenager Sadio Mane.

He is frank, Mane’s goal is the real killer of the game. Before this goal, Wigan Athletic has the hope of equalizing.

Martinez does not admit that his team is not performing well, but thinks they are slightly less lucky.

Fang Jue recognized this and emphasized that it is difficult for a relegation team to play.

Fang Jue said that in the two games against Wigan Athletic this season, Aston Villa only relied on an own own goal from the opponent in the first round. It was not easy to win this time. This shows that Wigan Athletic is excellent.

However, when the topic changed, Fang Jue said that it is precisely because of the tenacious performance of Wigan Athletic that the game is very difficult, that makes it more difficult to win the game.

"I want to applaud for my players."

"They did a great job."

Fang Jue said.

He praised his players and even took the trouble to name and praise almost every player.

He emphasized that winning is the effort of the whole team.

Of course, there are also key compliments.

Fang Jue praised the Portuguese player Quaresma.

"Ricardo played a phenomenal performance."

"He has this ability, I always think so."

"Today, I want to cheer for him."

In today's game, Aston Villa's three goals all came from Quaresma's assists. In the case of Desler's injury, the Portuguese player performed well.

As for Mane, Fang Jue only said a few words during the roll call, and did not praise him alone.

Fang Jue's goal is to let the media focus on Quaresma, and not to overhype Ma Nei.

Before that, Fang Jue praised Mane in order to give this kid confidence.

Now that Mane has scored a goal, nothing can bring confidence more than a goal.

In this case, Fang Jue began to consider reducing blood pressure for Ma Nei, and he wanted to protect Ma Nei.

Just as Bell also scored and performed well today, Fang Jue did not praise Bell alone.

He doesn't want the media to hype the young people under his hands too much.

As for Quaresma, the Portuguese have experienced the journey of becoming famous when they were young-transferring giants-frustrated returning home-rising from their hometown-entering the rich again-frustrated again-and then coming to Aston Villa.

The 26-year-old Quaresma's career has experienced ups and downs that many people cannot imagine.

Quaresma now needs attention and praise. Such players need high spirits.

Therefore, Fang Jue is not worried that Quaresma will be praised by the media.

...

Although Fang Jue intended to divert the "firepower" of the media to Quaresma, he still underestimated the media's attention to Mane.

Fang Jue's efforts failed, and he could not stop the media's crazy hype about Mane after the game.

The reason for making the media crazy is simple.

Mane set a new record for Aston Villa's youngest goal in the Premier League.

Seventeen years old and two hundred and seventy-four days!

This is the age when Mane faced Wigan Athletic with a goal and a new record for the youngest player in the history of the Aston Villa Premier League.

Even looking at the entire history of the Premier League, Mane was able to rank among the youngest goals scored in the Premier League.

In front of him:

Maceda, he was only 17 years old and 226 days when he scored for China in the game against Aston Villa on behalf of Manchester United in 1996.

Ahead, there is Michael Owen, who was only 17 years old and 143 days old when he broke Wimbledon's goal in a Liverpool shirt on May 6, 1997.

And Fabregas, wearing an Arsenal jersey, when he broke the Blackburn goal on August 27, 2004, he was only 17 years old and 13 days old.

Then there was Rooney and Lu Xiaopang’s fame battle. On January 19, 2002, he broke Arsenal’s goal and broke Arsenal’s 30 unbeaten gold medals. Rooney became famous in the first battle. He was only 16 years old and 360 days .

Moving forward, there is Mane’s current teammate Milner. Milner, who had just been promoted from the youth team to the first team of Leeds United, was only 16 years old when he broke through Sunderland’s goal on December 26, 2002. day.

Of these players, Irving, Rooney and Fabregas are all offensive players in the true sense.

Looking at the names of these three players, you can see why the media is so crazy for Mane.

The talents who can be among the youngest scoring records in the Premier League will have a very high success rate in the future!

...

On the second day after the game, the headlines of various newspapers were given to Sadio Mane.

This previously can only be said to be a small and well-known Aston Villa rookie teenager, this is really a world famous.

Aston Villa is a traditional powerhouse in the Premier League, and the Premier League is the most successful league in global commercial promotion.

The impact of Mane's goal is greater than that of his first goal in Ibiza.

In Senegal, the national television station of this country even reported the incident in the most official news program. The young Mane became a role model for many Senegalese children.

When the media praised Mane, they also mentioned a few words in passing, complimenting that the sight of seeing people is still so magical.

In the evening of the second day, Aston Villa received good news one after another.

In the other matches that took place the other day, the upsets were repeated:

First, Arsenal played against Everton at home. Arsenal led by 2-0 and was pulled by Everton with two goals. In the end, the two sides drew 2-0.

Then there was Manchester United. The Red Devils were tied with Birmingham one by one in the away game. Aston Villa's city rivals helped to block Manchester United at a critical moment.

The biggest good news is here. Chelsea were tied one by one by Hull City in the away game!

The top four teams in the league, with the exception of Aston Villa who won, the other three teams were tied by their opponents and broke out upsets.

The media was also shocked, calling Aston Villa's luck.

In this case, after the 21st round of the league, Aston Villa seized the golden opportunity:

Chelsea ranked first with 46 points;

Aston Villa ranked second with 45 points;

Manchester United scored 44 points and ranked third;

Arsenal ranked fourth with 42 points ~www.ltnovel.com~.

The fourth place in the league is only four points away from the first place. The four teams are chasing points closely. Media exclaims are rare in recent years.

"The Times" reporter Duncan Castull raised a question in his column after the end of the league round:

Does Aston Villa have a chance to win the Premier League title? !

This is the first time the mainstream media in England has raised this issue in the most formal way.

Aston Villa won the Premier League title?

Aston Villa is a traditional powerhouse in the Premier League. The role of each season is to be outstanding at the beginning of the season and sluggish in the middle and late seasons, being a spoiler.

To win?

Do not make jokes!

If it was before, when people heard this question, the first reaction would be like this.

But now, the situation is a bit more subtle.

In the twenty-first round of the league, Aston Villa is second, only one point behind Chelsea, one point ahead of Manchester United, and three points ahead of Arsenal!

If you think about it carefully, many people are surprised, and at the same time they feel a little emotional:

It seems that it is not completely impossible... Ah.

For a while, the topic of whether Aston Villa has a chance to win the Premier League title has become a hot topic.

That night, Fang Jue received a call.

"Why did you think of calling me?" Fang Jue received Ronaldinho's call, surprised and happy, half-jokingly said, "Did you decide to come to my team? Hahaha."
