Chapter 625 Opening of the New Season (Seeking Monthly Ticket Subscription)

Fang Jue carefully studied the video material of the Dutch young player recommended by scout Hollis.

Kevin Strowman, this is a strong young midfielder with a height of 186cm.

Physically strong, perhaps a little limpid.

However, this kid's vision is very good, and he has a good ability to transfer the ball.

What satisfied Fang Jue the most was that this kid worked very hard on the court.

He can be seen running without hesitation on both offense and defense.

Well, such a player fits Fang Jue's Aston Villa temperament very well.

Strowman mainly played left midfield at Sparta Rotterdam.

However, after watching the game video of this young Dutch player, Fang Jue came to the conclusion that this player is actually more suitable for playing as a midfielder.

To his relief, the system also agrees with what his hero sees.

Fang Jue immediately made a decision to win this player!

With Fang Jue's current position, it is no longer necessary for him to introduce such a twenty-year-old player from the Eredivisie League.

Fang Jue informed Hollis that the club decided to introduce Stroman, and the team's general manager Byron would come forward to negotiate with Sparta Rotterdam.

Hollis, who was dull, was very happy. For a scout, the player they had been following and observing was picked up by the club and decided to introduce it. This is the greatest affirmation of their work.

It is also the embodiment of the value of scouting.

...

Fang Jue didn't need to worry too much about the introduction of Strowman. He was confident that this young man would definitely come to his bowl.

Now, being favored by Fang Jue has been recognized as the greatest affirmation and praise for a young player.

Many young people are proud to be able to play under Fang Jue.

Moreover, with Aston Villa's current status, it is very confident to dig a young man from the Eredivisie League.

This is the impact of Aston Villa winning the Premier League title.

Champions and honors are confidence and qualifications!

Fang Jue focused his work on the upcoming first round of the Premier League.

A day later, Aston Villa will welcome the challenge of West Ham United at home.

In fact, the opening game of the Premier League will start tonight.

Aston Villa is a relatively late game in the first round of the Premier League.

Fang Jue watched Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League opener against Manchester City in front of the TV.

After watching half the game, Fang Jue turned off the TV.

Manchester City's performance let him down.

Waving the checkbook, the Manchester City team, which has introduced Quaresma, Kolarov, Balotelli and Boateng this summer, lacks tacit understanding and is not smooth.

This is also a hidden danger of signing in. This team has changed a lot compared with last season, and Mancini needs to rebuild the team.

I don't know what kind of bad luck it was, but Tottenham, who suffered the tragedy of the central midfielder, played quite poorly.

The whole team returns to defense.

It seems to be determined to get a point at home and be satisfied.

In the end, the score of this game was zero to zero.

Manchester City's luxurious offensive line did not break through Tottenham Hotspur's remnant goal.

...

However, a game played later made Fang Jue vigilant.

Chelsea thrashed West Bromwich Albion 6-0 at home.

Didier Drogba scored a hat-trick and celebrated with a sliding knee.

Malouda scored twice and Lampard added a goal.

The next day, the media was full of voices praising Chelsea.

"The aftermath of the World Cup, the age of the players, the mediocrity of the transfer market, the pre-season warm-up and losing streak... Everyone is worried about Chelsea's prospects for the new season, but Ancelotti, Drogba, Lampard and others Quickly use a big victory to prove to the fans and the media: the Blues are still as strong as last season, no, stronger." - "The Times".

In fact, when looking forward to the new season of the Premier League, the English media has criticized and doubted the two teams a lot.

One is Chelsea. The Blues let go of stars such as Belletti, Ballack, Carvalho and Joe Cole.

Only two famous players, Ramirez from Benfica and Benayoun from Liverpool, were introduced.

Plus the lineup is aging.

The media has put a question mark on Chelsea's new season.

In the Charity Shield, Chelsea and Aston Villa's dull draw and poor state seemed to support the media's thesis.

Yes, another team that has been questioned by the media is Aston Villa.

Aston Villa sold two midfielders Quaresma and Petrov.

Lu Keyan and Wilfred Bauma left.

At the critical moment, Leo Cork was sent to Tottenham Hotspur by "sending charcoal in the snow".

In addition, the departure of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Beckham will also directly weaken Aston Villa's overall strength this year.

In this case, in terms of signings, Aston Villa only introduced two famous stars, the veteran Ballack and the biggest "parallel importer" Shevchenko in Chelsea's history.

Ballack is still recovering from his injury, and he will not be able to return to the court until at least September, and it is difficult to ensure his state after the injury.

Rodriguez, who was bought from Colombia, was loaned out because he could not get a work permit.

Then there are Kyle Walker and Danny Rose, two young English players who are not yet well-known.

From the media's point of view, Aston Villa has drifted away after winning the championship. Compared with last season, its strength has dropped significantly.

...

The media in Manchester and the media in London cheered for Manchester United and Arsenal.

"Manchester Evening News" said that this is a great opportunity for Manchester United to regain lost ground.

"The Guardian" said that Wenger's team this season has the opportunity to recover the lost crown.

Fang Jue was puzzled.

Said that his Aston Villa signings were weak and his strength declined?

Manchester United and Arsenal have risen in strength?

United just brought in defender Smalling from Fulham and a little Mexican from Guadalajara.

Even for that little-known player named Beibei, Manchester United actually spent 7 million pounds. It is even said that Ferguson had never seen Beibei play football, but only listened to Queiroz's recommendation and signed Beibei.

It doesn't look like the old man is cheating, so it can be sure that he is a genius?

What a joke.

Therefore, it is no wonder that the English media has always suspected that there is something inexplicable behind Beibei's high-priced introduction.

As for Arsenal.

Wenger, who is thrifty and keeps his family, has completed several good deals, at least in the eyes of the media.

From his hometown in France, the professor used his own charm to sign Chamark without a visa.

Koscielny was also brought in from Ibiza.

Defender Squillac was introduced from Seville.

A player named Wellington Silva was brought in from Brazil.

Then Petrov was bought from Aston Villa.

Tsk, after thinking about it this way, the professor who is diligent and frugal in managing his family is indeed spending a small amount of money to accomplish great things.

In Fang Jue's view, Arsenal's strength has always been very good. At least last season, Arsenal's configuration was better than when he first took over Aston Villa.

Fang Jue reminded himself in his heart, and even wrote a note of 'be careful of Arsenal' in his diary.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Be prepared.

...

August 16, 2010.

Birmingham, Villa Park, Aston Villa vs. West Ham United.

Last season, West Ham United, who originally hoped to qualify for the European War, ended up ranking fourth from the bottom, a thrilling relegation.

Coach Zola also had to leave get out of class sadly, and he was replaced by coach Grant, who once led Chelsea to the Champions League final.

After Grant took office, he "cleaned" West Ham: many "parallel imports" players such as Ilan, Mido and Franco were swept out.

At the same time, the team has effectively supplemented personnel. They brought in Hitzlsperger from Lazio on a free transfer and Barella from Mexico's UNAM for £4m.

And New Zealand defender Winston Reid also appeared in their camp.

In addition, Grant also loaned Piccione and Ben Haim, who worked together at Portsmouth last season.

In fact, judging from the situation of last season, what West Ham lacks is not personnel, but fighting spirit. If it can inject confidence and cohesion into the team, West Ham still has a bright future.

Therefore, Fang Jue decided to completely defeat West Ham United's fighting spirit in the first round of the league...

Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass, thank you everyone. A friend raised a big question, saying that there are not many famous players introduced. Let me explain here, not counting the two veterans of Ballack and Shevchenko, Ronaldo, Vardy, Danny Rose and Kay have also been introduced. Earl Walker, I personally think it should be regarded as a big-name star in reality. Signing in the transfer market and then promoting one or two players from the youth training is also the norm for the club. Villa's youth training is one of the best in England.
