Chapter 904 Summer Transfer (Part 1)
However, although Aston Villa and Barcelona are in a deadlock on the transfer of Suarez, in fact, Aston Villa does take the initiative.
Especially when Klose was let go of Lazio, Aston Villa seemed to be preparing to keep Suarez.
Therefore, Aston Villa's attitude was becoming more and more tough:
If the transfer fee cannot be met, they will never sell Suarez.
Moreover, given that the training camp in the new season has begun, in order to ensure the preparations for the new season, Barcelona must give a final reply as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if the final transfer fee satisfies Aston Villa, Aston Villa will not agree to Suarez's departure considering the time to introduce a replacement.
The implication is that if you want to buy it, you should be quick and easy, and it will never be overdue.
...
"How is the situation?" Fang Jue called Papa.
He had just finished an official banquet and was slightly drunk. He washed his face and woke up a little, and called him immediately.
"The Barcelona are only willing to bid £72 million." Papa was a little tired and his voice was a little hoarse. "I estimate that an agreement may end up reaching around £75 million."
"It depends on who can calm down now," Papa said.
"Papa, you must pay attention to your health. Leave the negotiations to Ma Dongmei and the team. You only need to control the key links." Fang Jue said with concern.
This is a secret negotiation. Aston Villa Club General Manager Byron has another task. The club CEO Bob Clark follows him in Asia, and only Papa has enough weight to conduct secret negotiations with Barcelona.
The couple was tired of it on the phone for a while.
Fang Jue hung up the phone, thought for a while, and called.
"Robert, it's me."
"Boss, I've been waiting for your phone call." Robert Lewandowski on the other end of the phone was very excited.
Fang Jue took Deisler and Clement from Ibiza, as well as Mane and Senegal defenders, and did not take him away. The Polish shooter has been very depressed.
After joining Dortmund from Ibiza, he has performed better and better.
Last time, Fang Jue explained the opening game of the European Cup between Poland and Greece on the spot. After the game, Fang Jue and Lewandowski spoke online in the studio.
In fact, in private, Fang Jue called Lewandowski again to reminisce about the past, and Lewandowski complained half-jokingly that if Fang Jue did not summon him to return to the team, he would become the leader of the Bundesliga scorer.
Fang Jue and Lewandowski chatted for a long time, mainly to reminisce about the past and to contact each other.
He is Lewandowski's mentor and mentor, which is true, but no matter how good the relationship is, the relationship needs contact to maintain.
Aston Villa Club General Manager Byron is currently meeting with senior Dortmund officials in Dortmund to discuss Lewandowski's transfer.
Dortmund doesn't want to sell Lewandowski.
Therefore, negotiations are difficult.
Fang Jue did not let Lewandowski go to the training and other transfers.
Although Suarez would certainly put pressure on the Dortmund club if he did that.
However, Fang Jue would not do that easily, which is equivalent to putting Lewandowski on the opposite side of Dortmund club and fans, which is not good for Lewandowski's reputation.
Moreover, this method is also a double-edged sword. Aston Villa used this today, and other teams have reasons to use this on Aston Villa.
Lewandowski on the other end of the phone was relieved. He was really worried that Fang Jue would ask him to do something to come out.
If Fang Jue made such a request, Lewandowski would find it difficult to refuse, but he would feel unhappy inside.
Now, Fang Jue did not do this, which made Lewandowski happy and had a better impression of Fang Jue, the "old leader".
...
Aston Villa played a commercial match with Japan J League team Tokyo FC.
Fang Jue issued an order to the whole team. The protagonist of today's game is Shinji Kagawa, and the whole team will create opportunities and feed him as much as possible.
In the end, Aston Villa defeated Tokyo FC four-to-one at the Tokyo National Athletic Stadium, and Shinji Kagawa shot two shots and passed one, and was named the best in the game.
Looking at the Japanese fans who were cheering in the stands, Fang Jue shook hands cordially with the representatives of the Japanese brand partners with a smile.
Everyone was very satisfied.
In this commercial game, Aston Villa's appearance fee is as high as 5 million pounds, which is the treatment of a Japanese popular international player.
During this trip to Japan, Aston Villa has added new Japanese brand partners, because Aston Villa has previously reached commercial cooperation with several Japanese brands.
If you greedy for too much, you won’t be able to chew it.
Moreover, too much cooperation will not highlight Aston Villa's own brand value.
During this trip to Japan, Aston Villa put forward the banner of giving back to Japanese fans. In fact, it is also to consolidate the Japanese cooperative brand and further explore and expand Aston Villa's influence in this island country.
...
After the trip to Tokyo, Aston Villa's team went to Seoul, the capital of South Korea.
Aston Villa went to Thailand, Malaysia, Tokyo, Beijing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Shanghai in China, but did not go to South Korea.
This even caused condemnation from the Korean media and fans.
Some radical Koreans even shouted slogans to boycott Aston Villa, protesting that Aston Villa discrimination against Koreans.
Fang Jue was speechless at that time. Who discriminated against you?
How unconfident is this? If we don’t go to South Korea to make money, do you still think we discriminate against you?
There is only one reason why Fang Jue and Aston Villa don’t go to South Korea. Although South Korea’s economy is developed, it is hard to say that the market development of football giants in South Korea is success.
In a word, South Korea is not as easy as Japanese brands to pay for money, and they are even more petty and discriminate against them at any time.
Fang Jue had to appease the South Korean side at that time. Aston Villa attached great importance to Korean fans. We love you, and we will definitely come here next time (making money).
The news from CCTV Sports Channel that day played the scene of Aston Villa's entire team arriving in South Korea.
"Aston Villa's entire team arrived in Seoul, South Korea this afternoon. At Incheon International Airport in Seoul, nearly a thousand fans were waiting in the airport hall early, looking forward to seeing the style of the world's top team Aston Villa.
Although Bale has transferred to Real Madrid and left Aston Villa, Villa's popularity has not been affected.
There is no need to say much about big-name stars such as Modric, Ibrahimovic, Nesta and JR. Even young player De Bruyne has many of his own fans.
Of course, the most sought after by fans is Aston Villa's head coach Fang Jue. Fang Jue, who is handsome and handsome, with extraordinary temperament, has been warmly cheered and welcomed by the fans..."
Fang Jue delivered a speech on the spot, saying that he had wanted to lead a team to South Korea long ago, and this time he finally got his wish.
This caused a huge cheer from the Korean fans on the scene.
Of course, what was not broadcasted was that dozens of radical Korean fans came to the scene, holding banners, protesting and boycotting Aston Villa's arrival, and calling on fans not to welcome the Aston Villa team that once discriminated against South Korea.
Some local Aston Villa fans in South Korea had an quarrel with these radical fans.
Even the Korean media scolded these radical fans for losing face to the world's top teams.
After arriving at the hotel and the team leader arranged for the players to check in and rest, Fang Jue immediately connected with Papa, who was negotiating with Barcelona in Thailand and Byron who was negotiating in Dortmund in his room.
He saw the email as soon as he got off the plane and the negotiations made breakthrough progress.
