Chapter 904 - 2012 Summer Transfer (15) (5th Update)
However, although the negotiations between Aston Villa and Barcelona over the transfer of Suarez have reached an impasse, in reality, Aston Villa do have the initiative.
Especially with Klose moving to Lazio, Aston Villa seem to be ready to keep Suarez.
As a result, Aston Villa's attitude has become more and more tough:
If the transfer fee cannot be met, they will definitely not sell Suarez.
Moreover, given that the training camp for the new season has begun, in order to ensure the preparation of the new season, Barcelona must give a final answer as soon as possible, otherwise, even if the final transfer fee is satisfactory to Aston Villa, Aston Villa will not agree to Suarez's departure considering the timing of the introduction of a replacement.
The implication is that Barcelona brother, if you want to buy it, you can hurry up, and you won't wait for it.
……
"How's it going?" Fang Jue called Papa.
He had just finished an official banquet, was slightly drunk, washed his face and sobered up, and immediately called.
"The Barcelonans are only willing to bid £72 million." Papa was a little tired and her voice was slightly hoarse, "I estimate that a deal could end up around £75 million. ”
"Now it's up to both sides to calm down." Papa said.
"Papa, pay attention to your body, leave the negotiation to Ma Dongmei and the team, you only need to control the key links." Fang Jue said with concern.
It was a secret negotiation, and Aston Villa general manager Byron had another task, and club chief executive Bob Brown. Clark followed him on his trip to Asia, and only Papa had enough weight to negotiate secretly with Barcelona.
The two of them got tired of talking on the phone for a while.
Fang Jue hung up the phone, thought for a while, and dialed a call.
"Robert, it's me."
"Boss, I've been waiting for your call." Robert on the other end of the phone. Lewandowski was thrilled.
Fang Jue took Deisler and Clement, as well as Mane and Senegalese defenders, from Ibiza that year, but did not take him away, and the Polish shooter has been depressed.
Since joining Borussia Dortmund from Ibiza, he has been getting better and better.
Last time, Fang Jue commented on the opening match of the European Championship between Poland and Greece, and after the game, Fang Jue and Lewandowski spoke online in the studio.
In fact, in private, Fang Jue called Lewandowski again to catch up, and Lewandowski half-jokingly complained that if Fang Jue didn't summon him back to the team, he would become the Bundesliga's goalscorer.
Fang Jue chatted with Lewandowski for a while, mainly to catch up and contact feelings.
He is Lewandowski's Bole and mentor, which is true, but no matter how good the relationship is, the relationship also needs to be maintained by contact.
Aston Villa general manager Byron is secretly meeting with Dortmund's hierarchy at this moment to discuss the transfer of Lewandowski.
Borussia Dortmund did not want to sell Lewandowski.
So, the negotiation is more difficult.
Fang Jue did not let Lewandowski go to a strike or other troubled transfers.
Although if Suarez does that, he will certainly be able to put pressure on Borussia Dortmund.
However, Fang Jue will not do that easily, which is tantamount to putting Lewandowski on the opposite side of Dortmund club and fans, and it is not good for Lewandowski's reputation.
Moreover, this method is also a double-edged sword, Aston Villa used it today, and other teams have a reason to use it on Aston Villa another day.
Lewandowski on the other end of the phone was also relieved, he was really worried that Fang Jue would ask him to do something to come out.
If Fang Jue made such a request, it would be difficult for Lewandowski to refuse, but he would be unhappy in his heart.
Now, Fang Jue did not do this, which made Lewandowski happy, and he had a better impression of Fang Jue, the 'old leader'.
……
Aston Villa and Japanese J-League team Tokyo FC played a commercial match.
Fang Jue gave an order to the whole team, and the protagonist of today's game was Shinji Kagawa, and the whole team tried their best to create opportunities for him and feed the ball.
In the end, Aston Villa defeated Tokyo FC 4-1 at the Tokyo National Stadium, and Shinji Kagawa scored two shots and one pass, and was named the best of the match.
Looking at the cheering Japanese fans in the stands, Fang Jue shook hands with the representatives of the Japanese brand partners with a smile.
Everyone was satisfied.
Aston Villa paid a whopping £5 million to play in this commercial game, which is what the team is treated with a Japanese international player.
During this trip to Japan, Aston Villa also added a new brand partner in Japan, because Aston Villa has already reached commercial cooperation with a number of Japanese brands.
Bite off more than you can chew.
And there are too many collaborations to highlight the brand value of Aston Villa itself.
During this trip to Japan, Aston Villa's banner is to give back to Japanese fans, in fact, it is also to consolidate the Japanese cooperative brand and further dig into and expand Aston Villa's influence in this island country.
……
After the trip to Tokyo, the whole Aston Villa team went non-stop to Seoul, the capital of South Korea.
Aston Villa's previous Asian trips have been to Thailand, Malaysia, Tokyo, Beijing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Shanghai in China, but not to South Korea.
This even caused a wave of condemnation from the South Korean media and fans.
Some radical South Koreans have even shouted slogans to boycott Aston Villa to protest Aston Villa's discrimination against South Koreans.
Fang Jue was speechless at that time, who discriminated against you?
How unconfident is this, we don't go to South Korea to make money, and you still think we are discriminating against you?
There is only one reason why Fang Jue and Aston Villa do not go to South Korea, don't look at South Korea's developed economy, but it is difficult to say that the market development of football giants in South Korea is successful.
In a word, South Korea is not as happy as Japanese brands to pay money, and they are more calculating, discriminating against them at every turn.
Fang Jue had no choice but to appease the South Korean side at that time, Aston Villa attaches great importance to Korean fans, we love you, next time we will definitely come here (to make money).
On the same day, CCTV Sports broadcast footage of the arrival of the entire Aston Villa squad in South Korea.
The Aston Villa squad arrived in Seoul, South Korea this afternoon, and at Seoul's Incheon International Airport, nearly 1,000 fans waited in the airport hall early in the morning, looking forward to seeing the world's top team, Aston Villa.
Although Bale has moved to Real Madrid and left Aston Villa, Villa's popularity has not been affected.
Needless to say, big names such as Luka Modric, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Nesta and Cristiano Ronaldo have a lot of fans.
Of course, the most popular among fans is of course Aston Villa's head coach Fang Jue, who is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament, and has been warmly cheered and welcomed by the fans......"
Fang Jue delivered a speech at the scene, saying that he had long wanted to lead a team to South Korea, and this time he finally got his wish.
This caused a huge cheer from the Korean fans at the scene.
Of course, what the news did not broadcast was that dozens of South Korean radical fans also came to the scene, holding banners to protest and boycott the arrival of Aston Villa, calling on fans not to welcome the Aston Villa team, which once discriminated against South Korea.
Some local Aston Villa fans in South Korea got into a verbal altercation with these aggressive fans.
Even the South Korean media rebuked these radical fans for losing face to Koreans in front of the world's top teams.
After arriving at the hotel, the team leader arranged for the players to check in and rest, and immediately contacted Papa, who negotiated with Barcelona in Thailand, and Byron, who negotiated with Borussia Dortmund, in his room.
As soon as he got off the plane, he saw the mail, and the negotiations made a breakthrough.
