Chapter 843 Hope of the Endidi Family

Zhang Chen is also observing the performance of these children in the selection team at Aston Villa.

The talents of these children are good, at least they are the best in the same age group in China.

This is not Zhang Chen and Villa Football School boasting. Since the establishment of Villa Football School, because of the aura of Aston Villa, the parent team, it can be said that it has greatly attracted football-loving children across the country.

Moreover, the Villa football school is free for gifted children from poor families.

It can be said unceremoniously that even the success rate of the selection of youth echelons of some teams in the Chinese Super League is not as good as that of Villa Football School.

The children in the selection team were selected from more than 10,000 children from several football schools in China.

Zhang Chen's current focus is on whether these children can integrate into the Villa youth echelon faster and adapt to the football culture atmosphere of European football and English football.

This is very important for the growth of children.

What he is most satisfied with are Zhang Yang and Yang Fan. They quickly established a good relationship with the Villa U19 players in the same dormitory.

Especially Zhang Yang, he and Yang Fan passed Grealish and quickly became familiar with other Villa youth team players.

Then there is Liu Changan, this is a very hardworking and mature kid, he doesn't talk much, but he is more reliable in speaking and doing things, and he is slowly getting used to his new teammates.

As for the other children, they are slightly inferior to the three of them.

Zhang Chen has his own judgment. He personally believes that after the three-month training period for the selection team, the three children Zhang Yang, Yang Fan and Liu Changan are the most likely to stay at Aston Villa.

...

February 1.

Aston Villa hosts Queens Park Rangers in the 23rd round of the Premier League.

In the first half of the game, Klose assisted Suarez to score.

At the beginning of the second half, Cisse scored a goal for Queens Park Rangers.

Fang Jue then made substitution adjustments, and Modric, who was sitting on the bench to rest, replaced Strowman, who started the game.

The substitution had an immediate effect.

Aston Villa's offensive intensified, and finally relied on Modric's through ball to assist Suarez to score twice, locking the score at 2-1.

Four days later, in the twenty-fourth round of the Premier League, Aston Villa beat Newcastle 2-0 away. Bell opened the scoring for Aston Villa. He was assisted by Shinji Kagawa who also came off the bench.

The Japanese media naturally applauded Shinji Kagawa after the game, praising the popular Japanese international for his performance in Aston Villa getting better and better.

Also taking advantage of this upsurge, Aston Villa and Japanese beverage giant Konami jointly announced that they have reached a commercial endorsement.

Kolammy is one of the most famous beverage brands in Japan. Founded in 1899, they have completely become one of the most famous beverages in the world with their tomato juice drinks. Now they are in the leading position in the Japanese beverage industry, and the queer in the Chinese market is A partnership between Kolammy and Coca-Cola.

Aston Villa signed a three-year contract with Konami, and Konami has also become Aston Villa's official drink in Japan.

Whether it is Aston Villa or Konami, neither party has publicly announced the specific amount of the agreement.

Of course, Fang Jue himself is very aware of this amount.

Three-year contract, the first year is 5.5 million pounds, the second year is 6 million pounds, the third year is 6.5 million pounds, and the total amount of three years reaches 18 million pounds.

This is also Aston Villa's second sponsorship cooperation with a Japanese brand after Shinji Kagawa joined the team.

When the English media commented on this matter, they also lamented that Aston Villa’s market development in Asia has shown explosive growth. Signing Shinji Kagawa and winning large commercial contracts one after another can be said to be a double benefit .

Aston Villa achieved a commercial and competitive win-win by signing Kagawa, and Shinji Kagawa himself also realized the growth of his own commercial value by joining Aston Villa.

According to Japanese media reports, after the transfer to Aston Villa, Shinji Kagawa's endorsement fees for TV commercials have risen to 50 million yen (about 4.04 million yuan), and his print advertising endorsement fees have further increased It has reached 20-30 million yen (approximately 1.62 million-2.43 million yuan).

...

Sure enough, handsome and talented men are always very lucky.

Fang Jue felt emotional.

Shakespeare has sent Wilfred Endidi's video and analysis report to him.

Fang Jue immediately discerned that this kid is very good.

The system gave Ndidi's talent rating, and the guaranteed cut-off line is pale gold, because the player is only 16 years old, and there is still plasticity in the future, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future rating.

This time it really is good luck, 'buy one get one free', really a huge harvest.

What made Fang Jue gratified was that Shakespeare, the club's youth training director, also showed his appreciation for the young black player in the analysis report. He suggested that the club's scouts in Africa go to observe the situation of little Ndidi in person. After all, watching the video and the performance on the spot is somewhat surprising——

If Ndidi Jr. is as shown in the video under live observation, Shakespeare suggested that the club sign him.

Although little Endidi is not yet sixteen years old, it can be seen that his physical fitness is very good.

Good bounce.

And it has good explosive power and starting speed.

This is obviously an important reason that moved Shakespeare.

What Fang Jue was happy about was Shakespeare's vision of people.

That's right, he has a system, but he can't cover everything. Looking at the information of every young player who came to Aston Villa for trial training or self-recommendation, in most cases, he still has to rely on the club led by Shakespeare The staff of the youth training work to deal with it.

...

Nigeria.

Nathaniel Boys Soccer Club.

The youth team's training ground is very simple, the quality of the turf is very poor, it can even be said to be a relatively flat 'vegetable field'.

Wilfred Ndidi stands out among his peers, he is taller than others, and has great physical fitness.

Ndidi, who plays as a full-back, is very fast and has amazing explosive power.

He sprinted with the ball at high speed on the wing, which made the little players defending him uncomfortable, pulling and pulling, and only fouls could be used to stop him.

"The physical fitness is very good." Abraham nodded and said with a smile.

He is a Nigerian, a scout, employed by Aston Villa Club, and is mainly responsible for the scouting work of Nigeria, Ghana, Guinea and Senegal, the four countries around the Gulf of Guinea.

"Wilfred has been very good at running since he was a child." Lukaka Ndidi said happily.

"That's right, this kid has been running fast since he was a child, even dogs can't catch up with him." Little Ndidi's uncle, who is also one of Lukaka Ndidi's uncles, said happily.

He is looking forward to it. If his cousin can be signed by Aston Villa, it will be a great joy.

If this kid Wilfred becomes a star in the future.

Just imagining it is a big deal.

Good days are coming.

The Endidi family is about to rise.

There are dozens of people in a large family, now there is hope, and there will be no worries about food and drink in the future!
