Chapter 837: The Battle for the Top Spot (1st Month)
In his scouting report to Aston Villa, Abraham said that Wilfred was not interested in the club. Ndidi appreciated it.
The physicality is fantastic, the bounce is amazing, the speed is fast, and the explosiveness is amazing.
He strongly recommends that Aston Villa sign Ndidi Junior immediately.
Of course, the purpose of his trip is to sign Ndidi Jr., but, as a scout, he must perfect his scouting report and write his subjective opinions and judgments, which is a normal procedure.
Wilfred. Ndidi is not yet 16 years old and has signed a youth contract with Nathaniel Boys.
This type of contract is not strictly binding.
Aston Villa could totally have taken Wilfred directly. Ndidi.
However, now FIFA has also begun to pay attention to protecting the interests of small clubs.
Therefore, in order to avoid the possible trouble in the future, the Aston Villa Club took a formal way to contact the Nathaniel Boys Club, and after paying a 'expensive' training fee, they took little Ndidi away.
This is more than the amount of the cultivation fee is £35,000.
It's a small sum of money for Aston Villa, but it's enough to satisfy Nathaniel Boys, who are only a 'apprentice' under the age of 16 in the youth echelon.
That's it, agent Lukaka. Two players in the hands of Mr. Ndidi, Wilfred Brown. Ndidi and Ngolo. N'Golo Kante has joined Aston Villa.
Aston Villa paid a 'hefty' price of £145,000 to get the two players.
Fang Jue was very satisfied with this.
This is also the reason why many teams like to go to the low-level teams in Africa and Europe to Taobao, good quality and low price, great future returns, of course, good quality is not beautiful, this needs to test the eyesight, most of the time is to look away from the eyes, but as long as you scratch a lottery, you can make a lot of money.
Fang Jue didn't have this kind of worry of 'looking away', he was still very confident in his vision.
……
Aston Villa's official website then announced that the team had signed 15-year-old Wilfred Murphy of Nigeria's Nathaniel Boys Club. Ndidi, the young player, will move into the Aston Villa Under-16 squad.
Although the winter transfer window has closed, the signing of youth team players is not affected and restricted.
Winter transfers in the winter of 2012? Can the entire top five European leagues be said to be deserted? There was no big single birth that fans expected.
Think back to last winter, when the European transfer market was buzzing: Torres moved to Chelsea for a record transfer fee of £50 million in the Premier League? Aston Villa's Diego. Costa then moved to Liverpool for £50 million.
Aston Villa have £50 million in transfer revenue? It cost £25 million and £18 million to bring in Luka Modric and Suarez from Ibiza and Ajax respectively.
Arguably? Last winter's transfer market was as hot as the summer transfer market.
Never thought it would be a year later? Is the winter window trading market so deserted? The giants of all walks of life have coincidentally "tightened the monetary base", and many teams have only used loans or new stars to strengthen them.
The most famous of these is that Paul Scholes announced his comeback and returned to Manchester United.
Arsenal have signed veteran Thierry Henry on loan from the New York Red Bulls.
Widespread speculation in the media? This was influenced by the excellent performance of Aston Villa's introduction of veterans.
Was it Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ballack, Ronaldo or Shevchenko? Or this season's Klose, after joining Aston Villa, has made a lot of contributions to the team and performed well.
The two biggest transfers in the five major leagues, one in and one out, are from Aston Villa.
They first signed Japan international Shinji Kagawa from Borussia Dortmund for £16 million.
Subsequently? Aston Villa's Academy producer Albrighton has joined Newcastle for £10.5million.
This is also the first time that Aston Villa under Fang Jue's rule has not made money in the transfer market? On the contrary, it is net negative.
When the Sun took stock of the 2012 winter transfer market, it suddenly broke a shocking news.
When the transfer market is close to closing? La Liga giants Real Madrid suddenly turned to Aston Villa's star and new FIFA Ballon d'Or Gareth. Bell strikes.
According to the "Sun", Real Madrid's offer was as high as 65 million pounds at one point.
But? Because the transfer market is about to close? What are the reasons for Aston Villa? The transfer negotiation window was closed.
Aston Villa's next game is a big one, as they host Manchester City.
At the top of the Premier League standings, Aston Villa are currently in first place with 63 points.
Manchester City are in second place with 54 points.
It is also a direct confrontation between the top two teams in the league.
The English media paid special attention to this match, which was a real title fight.
If Aston Villa win, they will extend their lead further and the suspense of the Premier League title will become less and less suspenseful.
However, if City can beat Aston Villa away to close the gap to six points, the suspense of the Premier League title will be rekindled.
In the pre-match press conference, the media focused on the rumours that Real Madrid were asking for Bale.
Fang Jue categorically denied that the team had any intention of ceding Bale.
'Bale is the Ballon d'Or and a lot of teams want him, that's a fact.
'But the bigger fact is that he's happy with Villa, he's important, Aston Villa haven't had and won't have the will to give up Bale in the future, he's not for sale.'
"Yes, absolutely not for sale!"
Fang Jue also criticized The Sun by name, saying that his relationship with the outlet has always been bad.
Fang Jue accused The Sun of fabricating news that did not exist at all, in an attempt to cause confusion and trouble for Aston Villa.
……
Singing was loud at Villa Park, and before the game began, Aston Villa fans sang the Aston Villa anthem in unison, creating a sense of action.
Burgundy and blue performed in the stands in two phalanxes of fire and sea.
Aston Villa and Manchester City, one is the league leader and the other is second in the league.
The two teams have very different types of development.
Manchester City doesn't need to say much, it's just throwing money, throwing money, throwing money, digging stars.
Aston Villa are even more magical, their manager has a very good eye for people and a lot of talent in charge.
Fang Jue has been in the Premier League for nearly three years, and Aston Villa has dominated the Premier League and dominated Europe.
The Times even lamented that Fang Jue's talent and his success at Aston Villa would not even dare to write such a magical plot.
Aston Villa dominated, Manchester City has also risen, in front of these two teams, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and other old giants trembling.
These two teams have directly changed the landscape of the Premier League.
……
Fang Jue was standing on the sidelines at this moment, waiting for the game to start.
Mancini didn't stand on the sidelines, he sat in the away dugout.
In this game, Mancini and Manchester City are the ones who cannot afford to lose.
If you want to win the championship, you have to win this game, at least you can't lose.
Roberto Mancini will play his best in this game, and Manchester City will have to fight to the death.
On Aston Villa's side, Fang Jue was forced to rotate the team to a certain extent.
The reason is simple, the Champions League knockout rounds are about to be ignited next week.
Aston Villa travel to the San Siro in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against reigning Serie A champions AC Milan.
Aston Villa, who have just come out of the devil's schedule, have to save their strength for this Champions League knockout game.
'The Premier League top game is about to begin, so let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides.
'On Aston Villa's side, goalkeeper is David De Gea, and from right to left at the back are Kyle Walker, Papastathopoulos, Sendros and Thornton.
'In midfield were Stroman, Milner, J Ronaldo and Bale.
"Up front, Suarez and Bendtner."
'Luka Modric and Sadio Mane, who had just returned from the Africa Cup of Nations, were rested on the bench, while veteran Klose also rotated.
"In this game, Aston Villa's biggest hidden danger is the absence of Clemente, and the Spanish defender is suspended for accumulating yellow cards in this game."
Fang Jue stood on the sidelines, holding his chin in thought.
With Clement's suspension, he was forced to move Milner to midfield, while at left-back, he chose to trust Thornton.
"On Manchester City's side, the goalkeeper is England international Joe Hart."
'From right to left, Zabaleta, Lescott, Kompany and Kolarov.
"Midfielder, Gareth. Barry, De Jong, David. Silva, Quaresma. ”
'Up front are Sergio Aguero and Dzeko.
……
Suarez and Bendtner stood in the center circle, waiting for kickoff.
The referee is passing the headset and the fourth official on time.
The noisy Villa Park Stadium fell silent for a moment.
The referee looked down at his watch and gave a thumbs up to the fourth official on the sidelines:
Everything is working and it's ready to tee off.
"Toot-"
A whistle blew and amid a huge cheer, and the game began.
……
Aston Villa were not conservative at home and tried to put pressure on City's goal to get on the scoresheet as soon as possible.
The commentator commented on this situation and believed that this was exactly where Fang Jue's confidence lies.
Even if it is suspended by important players and rotates some of the main players, this Aston Villa team still has the strength to face Manchester City head-on.
Milner signaled himself to stay in the defensive position and Stroman went up to join the attack.
This is also the reason why Fang Jue trusts Milner very much, and he is relieved to hand over the responsibility of midfield defense to Milner with Clemente suspended.
