Li Haolong's first full season of Villa's career has finally come to a perfect end. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Two trophies, third in the league, one top scorer, Premier League official and FWA (Football Journalists Association of England) double best player. Winning many awards as third in the league is due to Griezmann's personal brilliance and the shortage of superstars in the Premier League, but this shortcoming will certainly be broken soon.

According to the latest financial statements, the club's commercial income, sponsorship contracts, player sales, Premier League broadcast dividends, Europa League rewards (including knockout match bonuses, final championship bonuses and TV broadcast revenue share, the final total revenue is close to 30 million pounds, two years ago the champion team was only about 20 million) has reached 430 million pounds, ranking among the world's top 8 in one fell swoop.

After the introduction of a number of superstars and dozens of new staff, the Villa club has also skyrocketed in terms of salary expenditure, reaching a new high of 198 million pounds in the club's history, knowing that last season's salary expenditure was only 110 million, which is almost doubled, and the ranking has also risen from 20th to 10th in Europe.

Villa's net investment in the transfer market was 182.9 million pounds, deducting the actual 265.9 million pounds after deducting the part of players sold, and the cumulative actual loss in several items reached 33.9 million pounds, equivalent to 39.14 million euros, which is worthy of the safety line of 45 million euros under UEFA's fair principle.

There is some shadow of operation in this, and there is also an element of luck. Including Junyi and Decisive Victory's big sponsorship contracts, as well as the 83 million pounds sold by Grealish and Bakuna, all fill a considerable hole, although there is a shortcut, but Li Haolong believes that with the performance and exposure of the Villa team this year, such a contract is not difficult to sign.

The partnership between Junyi Auto and Decisive Sports and Vera is a win-win situation, with the Junyi Kangtu V3 selling 30,000 units in Europe in a few years, compared to their previous record of 14,000 units. The decisive sports jersey was sold out of stock, and it was reprinted, and even the online store with the old shopkeeper became popular.

The appearance of the main players (including national team games) was strictly limited to 40-50 games by Li Haolong, which was the only one he had to explain to Petrov when he got out of class, the general substitutes played at least 10-20 games, everyone in the squad has played, and even Davenport, who played the least in the season, has 5 appearances, although this is still too few young players who continue to play and exercise, but it is already the biggest opportunity that Li Haolong can give.

A team of 25 people, the main position is only 11, there will definitely be people who will be dissatisfied, on the premise of ensuring the training attitude, Li Haolong has always been open-minded, welcome players to talk about their ideas, whether it is with Petrov or him, you can. Among them were McCormack, Tielemans, Chalobah, and Lincoln, all of whom expressed concerns about their future to varying degrees.

McCormack is almost 32 years old, he wants to go to a team with a stable position, Chalobah transferred to Aston Villa when he first thought that there was a chance in the new team, but he didn't expect that in addition to Vallejo and Van Dijk, the substitutes were also firmly occupied by Benkovic and Chester, and Letimans was worried about his position in the team, and it was difficult to move Weigel's position with his style.

There are many factors for coaches to consider when choosing players, in addition to strength, the state should also be based on the characteristics of the opponent and the characteristics of the players themselves, Li Haolong understands their thoughts and is willing to let them seek a transfer attempt. As for Letitmans, Li Haolong has a decisive attitude, resolutely retaining him, reassuring him that he will try to develop a new tactic around his characteristics.

The most entangled thing for Li Haolong is Lincoln, the Championship is still the main force and on the rise, he was suddenly demoted to the bench, the mentality is a little bad, in fact, Li Haolong is not not not paying attention to him, but Dembele is too perverted, and there is a brother Griezmann in the front midfield, as the first substitute for these two, Lincoln also made 27 appearances, and his performance was also good, with 4 goals and 5 assists, not to mention that he is really young, and he will only turn 20 years old in November.

Although Li Haolong was good at persuasion, Lincoln seemed to be the king and wanted to leave the team. Li Haolong saw it very thoroughly, and there must be his family's instigation behind this, but he was really reluctant to let this cheerful Brazilian baby leave, and only agreed to let him leave the team on loan for one season. Going out to practice is also a good choice for him, but unfortunately he chose to refuse after thinking about it, Li Haolong understands that he is tired of it, this must be a move made by his brother as his agent, as long as the transfer will have a commission, the younger brother changes the environment, he makes money, and it is a win-win situation.

This conversation was before the Europa League, and Li Haolong didn't think about how to deal with it, so he temporarily blocked the matter back on the grounds that he was the first in the current game and would discuss it again in the offseason. Li Haolong still has hopes for this kid to grow, but the loss of Lincoln is not a matter of the fall, at least he can recruit Antivoros, who has done a good job with the Spaniards this season, playing steadily and making many contributions.

In addition to recruiting Li Haolong this offseason, that's all he has to do, and he will officially ascend the throne, so some cruel things still have to be said, even if he is a meritorious coach who has just led the team to win the championship. A few days after winning the championship, Li Haolong directly told Petrov that he planned to coach next season, but he promised to settle him properly and help him find the right team until he was satisfied, and he would not be disadvantaged financially.

It is not uncommon to fire coaches after winning the championship, Mourinho and Di Matteo are to Chelsea, Bosque, Capello, Schuster are to Real Madrid, Magath, Van Gaal, Radke are to Bayern Munich, the more giants there are, and there are many big-name coaches.

However, the relationship between Li Haolong and Petrov is different from the above, Petrov knows it, and the two have also made an agreement, since the day Li Haolong got the certificate, he has been mentally prepared, straightforward as him, although there is a slight loss on his face, he still accepts it very happily, Li Haolong felt a little unbearable in his heart, and patted his partner's shoulder.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find you a good position, even if I owe you this time, you can mention to me any difficulties you have in the new club."

"Okay, I want Weigel!"

"Haha, Petrov, no way!"

Petrov rolled his eyes wryly, ending the somewhat awkward conversation.
