Chapter 57: New Season Schedule (1)
Finally over, everyone has gained a lot from this trip to China, including moving, amazement, sadness, tears, laughter, sweat, blessings from fans, and a lot of personal gains, and even spiritual sublimation. With this full of feelings www.biquge.info the team returned to Birmingham to wait for the Premier League opener. The young players and their parents have not yet obtained their visas and labor certificates, so they can only continue to stay in the football school and wait. Li Haolong gave the players a three-day break to make final adjustments and relax.
During the period when the players were on vacation, the coaching staff finally came up with the final squad and reported to the FA, defender Darnell, Abdul, midfielder Antivoros regrettably lost, of which Antivoros's defeat was the most regrettable, but there were too many options on the side, and one had to be cut, it was too wasteful to stay in the club's second-tier team with their strength, and after some consultation and operation, the three were loaned to Espanyol and Bayer Leverkusen, where they will get the opportunity to exercise, after deliberate hard work, The Villa team has maintained a good relationship with both clubs.
The team's final 25-man squad for the new season: No. 1 Pickford, No. 22 Boone, No. 34 Johnstone, No. 34 Amavi, No. 15 Henry, No. 3 Benvic, No. 4 Van Dijk, No. 14 Chalobah, No. 12 Chester, No. 5 Vallejo, No. 2 Henrichs, No. 17 Green, No. 18 Brandt, No. 25 Jedinac, No. 21 Davenport, No. 16 Nzomzi, No. 6 Tielemans, No. 33 Weigel, No. 8 Lincoln, No. 11 Dembele, No. 10 Isco, No. 20 Enrique, No. 7 Griezmann, No. 9 Alario, No. 44 McCormack. Among them, the Hukou players are Pickford, Boone, Johnstone, Henry, Chalobah, Green, Davenport, McCormack, and there is only one Englishman in the main lineup, or a goalkeeper, I don't know how the British audience will feel about this situation, but this kind of precedent is not unused, Arsenal even created a record of starting 11 without a single Hukou player.
After the three-day holiday, the squad will reassemble and the newly dressed players will take part in the media day, as well as take photos of the team's make-up and family photos for the new season, and the new uniforms will be available in the Villa store.
