From now on, the Villa showroom will be able to hold the eighth FA Cup trophy, which is a replica but a testament to the team's glory. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe FA Cup final is presented with the original trophy, which can be engraved with the name of the winning team, and the champion team can save it until the eve of the next final, and then return it to the organisers of the tournament, who will compensate it with a replica that will remain in the team's reputation room permanently.

Speaking of the FA Cup trophy, there is also an allusion related to the Villa team, there have been 4 versions of the trophy in history, the earliest one was made on July 20, 1871, after Aston Villa defeated West Brom to win the championship in 1895, the trophy was stolen when it was displayed in a sneaker store in Birmingham, although the police offered a reward of 10 pounds to find the trophy, but it has not been missing, it is generally believed that the cup has been melted down by thieves to make counterfeit money, Aston Villa was fined 25 pounds to make a new trophy, The trophy was presented as an honorary prize in 1910 to Lord Kinnad, who had been president of the FA for 33 years, making it the only private FA Cup, with nine appearances in the FA Cup final, a record to this day. The third FA Cup made in 1910 is currently on display at the FA's headquarters in Soho Square, and the fourth trophy made in 1991 is still in circulation, which is now the current one, after the 2011-2012 Chelsea FA Cup victory, this trophy was not lightly damaged, there were as many as 132 scratches on the trophy that needed to be repaired, the whole repair process took as long as 80 hours, and the Champions League won in the same year, the Big Ears Cup, which was won in the same year, did not escape the clutches of Chelsea. At a celebration party, the Champions League trophy was ruined again, and one handle was broken, which can be called a trophy killer.

In addition to various celebrations, Li Haolong also participated in business negotiations with China Decisive Sporting Goods Co., Ltd. At present, almost the entire world sports world is the world of Nike and Adi, and some former big brands have also been acquired by the two, such as Umbro in the United Kingdom and Reebok, the world's third-largest sports brand, and Converse in the United States. Adi's investment in football is temporarily ahead of Nike, and the current number one Manchester United and Bayern Munich are both sponsored by Adi, with contracts signed until 2025 and 2030 respectively, and the amounts are even more staggering 75 million pounds and 61 million pounds, which are per year, while the third, fourth and fifth places are only 30 million pounds.

Decisive victory is another unexpected sponsor of Li Haolong, originally wanted to sign a short-term friendship sponsorship, but I didn't expect that Decisive Victory also intended to expand abroad, in fact, they are already doing this, they have signed several NBA stars and European football stars sneaker sponsorship contracts, trying to grab a certain share in the mouths of the two giants. In the end, after negotiations between the two parties, a five-year contract was signed, and the sponsorship amount was not very high or low, 40 million pounds per year, temporarily ranked third, but it will soon be overtaken by the new contract. In this way, the two new sponsorship contracts made the Villa team's pockets bulge, and with the broadcast dividends, the Villa team did not have to do anything, and they had an income of 200 million pounds at once.

In the details of the design of the new jersey, Li Haolong asked Decisive Sports to maintain the original design as much as possible in addition to the advertising copy provided by Junyi, and Decisive Sports has been mixed in the sports circle for so many years, knowing that these traditions of foreign teams are very sensitive, and he agreed without hesitation. In a conversation with the decisive boss Yu Ke, Li Haolong also learned a news, they are trying to contact Atletico Madrid star Griezmann, Griezmann's 14-year contract with Puma is about to expire, and Decisive Victory wants to take advantage of this to sign a sneaker sponsorship with him, and build Griezmann into the number one signboard for a comprehensive entry into Europe.

The 26-year-old Frenchman Anthony Griezmann, the popular fried chicken, has just spent his tragic last year, and was unfortunately defeated by Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid in the Champions League final last season, and then the European Championship held on home soil made Ronaldo's Portugal have the last laugh, and the two most important finals of his career were defeated by the god-like Ronaldo. In the selection of the 2016 European Ballon d'Or, Griezmann won the third place, second only to Ronaldo and Messi, and is also expected to be the leading figure in the post-double pride era.

Li Haolong is very optimistic about Griezmann, thinking that he is better than Pogba, and has also moved the idea of recruiting him, but recently it has been rumored that Manchester United intends to let him go to Trafford to take over Manchester United's number seven shirt, which has produced Bobby Charlton, Dennis Law, George Best, Brian Robson, Cantona, David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and other legendary superstars after a brief experience of Michael Owen and the defeat of Depay, is in need of a new owner to write his legend.

Li Haolong felt that it was difficult to impress Griezmann with the appeal of the current team, so he pressed the heart of recruitment, and now the decisive victory and mention this stubble made him have a new idea. If possible, he is willing to impress him with three records, the first in the world transfer value, the first in the shoe sponsorship contract of the active players, and the first in the Premier League salary (the two in the Super League are not counted, and Messi and Ronaldo do do not plan to surpass for the time being, as a sign of respect). After Li Haolong told Yu Ke about this idea, the new head of the company only pondered for a while and agreed, and put forward his suggestion, if this sensational sports event is to be operated, it is best to operate a two-pronged approach, the club and the decisive victory at the same time, three-way talks, as a chain condition, if you don't move, you can hit it with one hit. The two conspired with Lamb for a few days before finalizing the plan, which was up to Lamb and Yuke to work out before they went on vacation.

After a few days of carnival, the players who have been fighting all season are sleepy, and the holiday season has officially begun, until July 5 to regroup for this summer's trip to China and summer training camp. Li Haolong lost Griezmann's transfer to Lamb, who was full of enthusiasm for the new official, he needed to relax himself, Xiaoxue was also left out in the cold for a long time, but compared to the player's one-month vacation, Li Haolong only gave himself half a month, and he had to come back to kick off the transfer after half a month.

Junyi's work efficiency is very high, 40 cars drove to the club before the holiday, 25 first-team players, 5 coaches, 2 consultants, 8 medical team physiotherapy team staff all got the key, Weigel was very generous, the key was handed over to the laundry aunt, that is, the one who cheered in the locker room.
