Chapter 649: Departure for Meacha
Aston Villa's victory over direct rivals Chelsea at the top of the table has generated a lot of media buzz and attention.
Now, there are few voices saying that Aston Villa will be a flash in the pan.
Everyone is starting to realise that Aston Villa is really on the rise to become a new force in the Premier League.
The club has been the focus of media attention, and Villa's players have also become the focus of much media discussion.
Especially young Welsh star Gareth. Bel.
With only eight rounds of league games played, Bale has already scored two goals and provided eight assists.
This is a very scary statistic, you know, Bale's league statistics last season were nine goals and ten assists, with such an outstanding performance, Bale was named the best rookie in the Premier League.
Now, not to mention the number of goals, the league has only been played for less than a fifth, and Bale has eight assists.
In addition, the young Welsh star also has an assist in the Champions League.
Such a crazy data performance has attracted exclamations from the media.
Duncan, a reporter for The Times, directly asserted, 'This is a season for Bale'.
With such an outstanding performance, the young Welsh star has also attracted the attention of many giants.
The Sun reports that a number of giants, including Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, are already paying attention to Bale.
The newspaper predicts that if the current hot form continues, the Welsh player could move to a big club as soon as next summer.
"How's the contract renewal negotiations with Bale?" Fang Jue asked Byron, the general manager of the club.
Fang Jue also noticed the relevant reports in the media.
Although there is no indication that Bale has any intention of moving to another team, Fang Jue must not be vigilant.
That's the sadness of non-big teams.
After a good player emerges, it is necessary to prevent fire and theft.
If Aston Villa has now grown to the status of Manchester United, Fang Jue does not need to worry too much, almost every transfer window, there are rumors that Rooney will be poached, but the actual operability is extremely low.
Bale's contract with Aston Villa does not expire until 2014, with three and a half years remaining.
However, in order to avoid some surprises, Aston Villa has already negotiated a contract extension with Bale.
In fact, it's not just Bale, but also Milner, Abonlaho, Diego. Costa, and all of these players, the club is in contract renewal negotiations at the same time.
It's not just about tethering players and preventing poaching.
It's also a compliment to the players.
Last season, the team won the league title and achieved a good result of the double, the club achieved excellent results, and the players had to pay them a raise, which is also the meaning of the question.
Players cannot be tied to the club by advertising their heartfelt commitment to the club alone, monetary rewards are the most practical.
It is foreseeable that after such a wave of contract extensions, Aston Villa's player salary expenses will rise very significantly.
This is also the reason why many non-giant teams can't keep players after achieving good results, not only in the face of the cheque books waved by the giant teams, but also because the players' continuous salary increases and contract renewals will eventually make it difficult for financially poor teams to support.
Fortunately, Aston Villa's financial situation is very good, and in the face of the player's salary increase and contract extension, the pressure is not too great at present.
This also has something to do with the relatively reasonable salary structure of Aston Villa.
The team's current maximum salary is £80,000 a week, with only Ronaldo and Ballack and Deisler receiving the £80,000 cap.
Then there was Shevchenko's £50,000 weekly salary.
Bale, for example, is currently earning £25,000 a week, which is not too low for a 21-year-old.
However, given Bale's current ability and excellent form, as well as his popularity in the transfer market, this salary is low.
In fact, Aston Villa and Bale have been negotiating a contract extension for some time, but there has been a long time before a consensus has been reached.
Bell's agent, Jordi. Stevens offered £80,000 a week, which was on par with the top salary in the team for Ronaldo and others.
This is unacceptable to Fang Jue.
Not to mention whether Bale's current team status and ability can be on par with Ronaldo, even considering Bale's age and sustainability factors, he can't agree to this salary request.
Bale is only twenty-one years old now, and this time he is offered a maximum salary of 80,000 pounds, so, a year later, two years later, to negotiate a contract extension again, how high does Aston Villa need to pay to meet it?
Not only that, but if Bale gets the team's top salary, it will also cause huge waves in the dressing room, with Milner, Agbonlaho and Diego. What will the Costas think? How much is their salary appropriate?
Therefore, the renewal negotiation of the player is not isolated, it must be considered in all aspects.
Fortunately, Bale now has more than three years left on his contract with Aston Villa, and the renewal can be negotiated slowly, and there is no rush for the time being.
A day later, the Aston Villa squad left Birmingham for Milan, Italy, to prepare for a major Champions League group stage fixture.
Aston Villa will travel to Group seeded Inter Milan at the Meazza Stadium in Milan City, where they will face reigning Champions League champions Inter Milan.
"Benitez suffers a crisis of confidence!"
"Moratti gave the order that the home team must win against Villa!"
On the plane, Fang Jue flipped through the newspaper casually and saw the front-page article of "Milan Sports Newspaper".
Tut.
Fang Jue shook his head, it seems that Master Pei, an old rival, is not having a good time at Inter Milan.
Rafael Benitez officially became Inter boss this year and signed a two-year deal with the Nerazzurri.
However, in the new season, Benitez led the team to an unsatisfactory record.
In the UEFA Super Cup in August, Inter Milan lost 2-0 to Atletico Madrid, missing the only chance to win the championship in 102 years of team history.
In the new season, Benitez's team's record in the league and the Champions League cannot be said to be satisfactory at the moment.
Inter, the five-time winner of Serie A, finished behind Lazio and AC Milan after seven rounds of league matches, only in third place.
In the Champions League, Inter Milan, who became the seeded team, drew 2-2 away to the weakest opponent in the group, FC Twente, on the first matchday, drawing criticism from the Italian media.
Although on the second matchday, a 4-0 home win over Werder Bremen made Benitez a little less stressed.
However, Aston Villa in the same group, first defeated Bremen 5-0, and then beat Twente 5-1, ranking first in the group, which made the defending champion Inter Milan a little faceless, so Benitez can be said to have suffered a crisis of confidence at present.
According to "Milan Sports Newspaper", the match with Aston Villa is an exam for Benitez, and only by winning Aston Villa at home can Benitez pass the test, otherwise, Master Bei's life will only get more and more difficult.
……
"Inter Milan are the defending champions and are a very strong team to respect."
"I know Benitez and it's a winner."
'No, no, no, if we can take a point away from Milan, we will still be top of the group, that's our goal.'
'It's going to be tough in Meazza and we're ready for a tough game.'
At Milan's Malpensa Airport, Fang Jue was interviewed by reporters, and he admired Inter Milan very much in his words and had a low-key attitude.
This makes the good-looking Italians happy.
In a subsequent report from "Milan Sports Newspaper", it was slightly said that the defending Premier League champions were very in awe of the treble winner, and what Inter Milan had to do in this game was to make Aston Villa more in awe of Inter Milan after the game.
"In this game, we have only one goal, to win!"
"The treble, it's just history, we don't need to pay attention to this, with our current strength and state, to be afraid, it should be Inter Milan who is afraid of us!"
When he arrived at the hotel where he was staying, Fang Jue called a meeting of the whole team, and the first thing he said was.
