Chapter 620 Ten Days, 120 Million Pounds! (Seeking Monthly Ticket Subscription)

Aston Villa's first destination in Asia is Thailand.

Due to historical reasons, many Southeast Asian countries were formerly British colonies.

The British have a deep influence on their own culture up to now.

In Thailand, the Premier League is very popular.

The "Times" once reported that Thais are obsessed with the Premier League, especially their students like to watch the Premier League most.

Every match day, in front of the TV in the school cafeteria and dormitory hall, there are densely packed fans watching Premier League matches.

As one of the oldest teams in the Premier League, Aston Villa has always had a good fan base in Thailand.

It's just because Aston Villa's previous record is mediocre, so these fans have been 'hiding'.

With the rise of Aston Villa last season, Villa has also become one of the favorite jerseys of Thai fans.

In the words of the local Thai media, after Aston Villa won the championship, almost overnight, there were jerseys wearing Aston Villa jerseys everywhere celebrating.

The Aston Villa team arrived in Bangkok and received a warm welcome from the local fans.

Fang Jue immediately announced the team discipline: Don't indulge!

When Fang Jue said this, he glanced at Ronaldo, and the Brazilian scratched his head in embarrassment.

This guy has a criminal record.

Hey Pi, who had played in Thailand before, gave warmth to women who had stumbled, and ended up with three Thai specialties.

Fortunately, Ronaldo discovered something was wrong in time and did not communicate in depth.

However, the other party also recognized Ronaldo, and using it as a blackmail, made a lot of news.

Two days later, Aston Villa played a commercial warm-up match with the Thai League Star United.

Aston Villa ended up winning 4-2.

The team controlled the scene quite well, and the Thais, who scored two goals for the Premier League champions, were also very happy.

Before leaving Thailand, Aston Villa signed a three-year contract with telecommunications conglomerate True Corporation Plc.

Although this cooperation is limited to Thailand, it will be of great help to Aston Villa to further enhance its influence in the local area and Southeast Asia.

True is the only leading provider of fully integrated communication solutions and converged solutions in Thailand.

In the words of local Thai media, Aston Villa and True are definitely a strong team.

Wearing this contract of 6.5 million pounds per year and 19.5 million pounds for three years, Fang Jue left the beautiful Bangkok in a good mood.

Good start.

...

left Thailand.

The second stop of Aston Villa's Asian tour is Japan.

In Japan, Aston Villa played a warm-up match with the Japanese J-League Yokohama Mariners.

In this game, Fang Jue gave an order not to let the water go.

In the end, Aston Villa beat the Yokohama Mariners 6-0, without giving the host any face.

However, what surprised the Aston Villa players was that the Japanese fans at the scene were not unhappy, but cheered loudly.

Even the organizers treat them better.

In Japan, Aston Villa got two endorsements.

Signed a three-year sponsorship endorsement contract with Nissin Cup Noodles, 5.5 million pounds per year, 16.5 million pounds for three years.

Another big order is to reach a commercial cooperation with Japan's Yokohama Tire.

The two parties signed a contract for three years, with an annual price of 8 million pounds, with a total value of up to 24 million pounds.

The third leg of the Asian tour is Hong Kong, China.

The trip to Hong Kong, China, was a purely commercial invitational competition, and there was no signing of a brand endorsement.

Aston Villa played a game with the Hong Kong Star United, giving the opponent a 7-0 score and taking away 2 million pounds in appearance fees.

The focus of Aston Villa's Asian tour is China.

First, I visited the Shanghai stock market.

As a Premier League champion team with such a strong Chinese element, Aston Villa's popularity in China is overwhelming.

In Shanghai, nearly 10,000 fans waited at the airport.

The team's first training session was watched by 35,000 people.

Aston Villa played a warm-up match with Shanghai Shenhua, the score was 3-3, and everyone was happy.

The entire Aston Villa team also visited the Villa Football School in Shanghai and played a teaching game with the school's young players.

The second stop of Vera's China tour is in Guangzhou.

The ball market in Guangzhou is very hot.

Aston Villa's training tickets were even fired up to 500 yuan a piece, even more expensive than some tickets for official games.

Even for a training session, the sidelines were packed with fans, and the tickets were sold at sky-high prices by "scalpers". Aston Villa's popularity in China can be imagined.

Aston Villa played a warm-up match with Guangzhou Evergrande GAC, and Aston Villa won 4-2.

In China, Aston Villa's market value has been maximized.

When leaving China, Aston Villa signed three endorsement deals.

Three endorsements, up to 16.45 million pounds per year, and a total of nearly 50 million pounds in three years.

The trip to Asia, Aston Villa's total appearance fees accounted for 10.5 million pounds.

The income from commercial endorsement reached 36.45 million pounds per year, with a total of 109.35 million pounds in three years.

In ten days, he earned close to 120 million pounds!

It can be said that he made a lot of money.

When leaving Asia and returning to Birmingham, Aston Villa CEO Bob Clark couldn't help but talk about coming to Asia often in the future to give back to the enthusiastic Asian fans.

Of course, there are also discordant factors.

There are voices of protest in South Korea, who believe that Aston Villa went to Thailand, Japan, Hong Kong and mainland China, but did not come to South Korea alone. This is discrimination against South Korea.

In the end, Aston Villa general manager Byron personally went to South Korea and promised to come to South Korea next time to feel the enthusiasm of South Korea, which calmed down the fragile self-esteem of Koreans.

Fang Jue was also very helpless.

He also wants to make money from Koreans.

Because of the World Cup, the team's training time has been compressed, and there is really no time to go to South Korea.

...

Back to Birmingham.

The Aston Villa team officially started intensive preparations.

In five days, Aston Villa will usher in the first game of the new season.

Not the Premier League.

It is the Premier League warm-up reserved game over the years: the Community Shield Cup.

This is a battle between the Premier League champions and the FA Cup champions.

Aston Villa were the Premier League champions last season.

Chelsea were the FA Cup champions last season.

Therefore, this year's Community Shield match will be played between Aston Villa and Chelsea.

Aston Villa's official website subsequently announced the departure of another player.

The team's old Dutch defender Wilfred Bouma joined the Dutch league team Groningen for a price of 3.5 million pounds. The Dutch veteran chose to return to his roots.

Wilfred Bauma's departure.

Fang Jue is considering supplementing at the left back position.

It is impossible for him to expect Milner to maintain full attendance for a season. Although Milner is rough and tough, injuries are accidents, and what is called an accident is something you cannot predict.

Fang Jue must be prepared.

As for the team's left-back substitute O'Halloran, the Irish player's strength is indeed very average. The player himself is relatively pessimistic about his future in Aston Villa and is seeking to transfer and leave.

Aston Villa's chief scout Adam Spert recommended a young left-back candidate to Fang Jue.

Fang Jue also watched the player's profile and game video, and he is indeed a good seed.

However, here comes the problem.

This player belongs to Tottenham Hotspur.

This is difficult.

Is it possible to find Manchester City to cooperate again?

Not to mention that Manchester City is not Aston Villa's younger brother, it is impossible to help do this kind of thing all the time.

Even if it happens again, Manchester City has been exposed, and Tottenham Hotspur will not be fooled again.

Difficult!
