If you want to say what Fang Jue hates the most now, it is the African Cup.
The use of African players by Premier League teams is second only to Ligue 1, but Ligue 1 has a winter break of at least two weeks. Therefore, for Ligue 1 teams, the impact is actually not that great. It is that there is no winter break, but the Premier League with the most intensive competitions during the Christmas holiday to New Year's Day holiday.
Especially in some relegation teams, the proportion of African players is relatively high.
During almost every Africa Cup of Nations, some teams are affected by this, and even eventually relegated.
The reason Fang Jue was very annoyed was that in 2012 and last year there was the Africa Cup of Nations, and this year there is even the Africa Cup of Nations, which is endless:
The African Football Association announced that the Africa Cup of Africa will be changed to odd-numbered years in the future, because considering that if the next African Cup of Africa is held in 2015, it will be three years later. The first 'African Cup'.
At that time, when the African Football Association announced the news of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa, the Premier League could be said to be scolded.
Aston Villa has only one African player in the team, which is one of the teams with relatively few African players in the Premier League.
However, Fang Jue still has headaches and curses.
After returning from injury, Mane has been in very good form recently, and can even be said to be one of the best players in the Aston Villa team.
...
Mane is both happy and worried about going to South Africa to play in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Simple lad who is happy to serve his country.
However, he is also worried about his place in the regular team at Aston Villa.
During the time he was injured before, De Bruyne seized the opportunity and won the main position, and performed quite well.
And when Mane came back from injury, De Bruyne happened to be injured, and the Senegalese boy also reminded Fang Jue with his excellent state that he was very good.
Now, Mane is going to play in the Africa Cup of Nations, and De Bruyne has returned from injury, and he also scored a very beautiful direct free kick in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
This distressed Manet, who worried about losing his job.
Assistant coach Werner reported to Fang Jue that the Senegalese kid has been a little worried these days.
Fang Jue talked to Mane, and Sadio Mane expressed his worries.
This kid!
Fang Jue almost laughed out loud. This kid is still the same as before. Fang Jue still remembers the first time he saw this kid when he was in Ibiza. Mane drank a bottle of water in the hotel. He was very worried. Knowing whether there should be an extra charge, the boy was injured and his condition was not good, but he didn't dare to tell the coach, he was afraid that he would be abandoned and lose his job due to his injury.
...
Fang Jue didn't say much.
The next day, he called Mane into his office and presented a contract extension.
"Sadio, sign it."
Mane didn't sign it, so the kid called his agent, Ms. Marina Mendes, and sent her the contract.
Marina replied quickly, saying that there is no problem and she can sign.
Mane still didn't sign it. The kid read the contract carefully and fumbled for about half an hour before he picked up a pen and signed it.
"Do you understand?" Fang Jue asked.
"I don't understand." Mane smiled foolishly, touched the back of his head, and said, "I just feel that I have read it carefully and feel relieved."
"Signed and renewed, don't worry." Fang Jue said angrily.
"Don't worry." Mane laughed happily.
"Get out." Fang Jue cursed, "Remember, I don't want you to come back from injury in the Africa Cup."
"Remember." When Mane spoke, he carefully put away his own contract and put it in his bag.
Fang Jue heard later that Mane, who always chooses to practice extra after training, did not practice this day. This kid was worried that the contract would be lost. As soon as the training was over, he hurried back to his residence and locked the contract into his own insurance. cabinet.
In Mane's house, it is said that the most valuable 'furniture' is this safe, which was specially ordered by this kid at a huge price.
...
Subsequently, the Aston Villa Club officially announced the news of the contract extension with the club's Senegalese offensive player Sadio Mane.
Mane's contract was extended until June 30, 2017.
In the new contract, Mane's salary has been increased from 38,000 pounds a week to 50,000 pounds, officially entering the ranks of Aston Villa's high salaries.
After signing the new contract, he felt at ease, and Mane then left Birmingham for South Africa to join the Senegal national team.
Along with Mane, the Belgian teenager De Bruyne was officially announced to renew his contract.
A year and a half ago, De Bruyne received a weekly salary of 15,000 pounds after joining Aston Villa.
This salary obviously cannot match the current contribution and ability of the Belgian teenager to the team.
In the new contract, De Bruyne's salary doubled to £30,000 a week.
On January 19, the twenty-third round of the Premier League.
This round of the league has many high-profile games.
Fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur hosts second-placed Manchester United.
Chelsea, fourth in the league, hosts Arsenal in seventh.
Aston Villa will also be a guest at the Hawthorns, away to West Bromwich Albion, who have performed well this season.
In this game, Aston Villa finally defeated West Bromwich Albion 2-0 away.
Brazilian centre-back Thiago Silva scores with a header from a corner.
Hamei assisted Lewandowski to score the goal that sealed the victory.
...
However, the game process was not as smooth as the score showed.
After the game, the media praised West Bromwich Albion, who was at home, for playing very tenaciously.
However, in Fang Jue's view, West Bromwich Albion played dirty.
Hamei, who performed well today, was shoveled and left the field by Oden Wenjie in the game.
If the team doctor hadn't told Fang Jue after a preliminary examination that Hamei's problem was not serious and she would be fine after more than a week of recuperation, Fang Jue would really have fired at West Bromwich Albion.
In the Premier League, several teams have always been known for their aggressive style of play, among which are West Bromwich Albion and Reading.
The next night, Fang Jue invites Mendez to drink coffee and discuss Hamei's contract renewal by the way.
In the summer of 2011, Aston Villa signed Hamei, but because they failed to obtain a labor certificate, they could only loan out the Colombian boy.
Last summer, Hamei returned on loan, and Aston Villa helped Hamei obtain a labor certification through the "special talent clause hearing".
The Colombian boy who returned to the team received a weekly salary of 20,000 pounds.
As an important rotation player last season, Hamei scored 14 goals and 16 assists for Aston Villa in all competitions.
Especially in the UEFA Champions League, the Colombian boy played well, with 5 goals and 6 assists.
After Bell transferred and left this season, Hamei became the main player of Aston Villa.
He has scored 7 goals and provided 6 assists for Aston Villa in all competitions.
It is indeed inappropriate to continue to receive a weekly salary of 20,000 pounds for such a performance, and the outstanding performance of the Colombian boy has also attracted the attention of other giants.
...
Negotiations between Aston Villa Club and Hamei have been going on for some time.
Mendes is currently insisting on asking for a weekly salary of 50,000 pounds.
Fang Jue said that he could only give a weekly salary of 40,000 pounds.
When it comes to this, both parties already have a good idea:
If there are no unexpected circumstances, the two parties may eventually reach an agreement on the treatment of a weekly salary of 45,000 pounds.
This is the amount of salary Modric currently receives at Aston Villa.
Of course, Modric has not completed his contract renewal with Aston Villa. What is certain is that the salary of the Croatian's new contract will definitely increase a lot.
At this time, Marina came in with her son.
"Hi, Santiago, come to grandpa." Mendes immediately greeted his grandson happily.
But the little guy came over first and kissed Fang Jue on the face, Fang Jue asked happily, "Do you miss Dad?"
Mendez's complexion was very bad, and he knew what was going on. However, seeing such a scene with his own eyes, for an old father, the desire to beat someone was unstoppable.
"I am the godfather of Santiago." Fang Jue forcefully explained.
It’s okay not to explain it, but after the explanation, Mendes became even more angry.
However, the little guy yelled "Grandpa" at Mendez cutely, and no matter how big his anger was, it could only disappear (forcibly suppressed).
Mendes quickly took his leave and left. He was worried that he would explode in anger if he stayed there. When he saw his daughter's big belly at a glance, he was even more angry.
Of course, it was also to avoid embarrassment, because in a short while, Papa brought his son to join him.
...
Mendes informed Hamei that he has negotiated with Aston Villa Club on his salary increase.
"A weekly salary of 45,000 pounds." Mendes said sternly, "James, I know that if you go to other giants now, you may get more, but, in my opinion, it is the most suitable at present." For the team, this salary is acceptable."
"I understand, Jorge," Hamei said.
After returning to Aston Villa on loan for a year and a half, his salary has increased from 20,000 pounds a week to 45,000 pounds a week. He is quite satisfied.
Moreover, the club's future salary and treatment system has slowly spread among the players.
The team is willing to offer Ibrahimovic a weekly salary of 260,000 pounds, and the new salary system shows that Aston Villa's goal is to become a top giant and they are willing to invest.
This gave the players a lot of stimulation, and made them more hopeful in terms of monetary benefits while pursuing honor.
He is still young and can play the main force in a championship team like Aston Villa, with a weekly salary of 45,000 pounds. So far, he is still satisfied.
"You are very smart, you know what to pursue at what stage, and I will resolutely help you get the benefits you deserve." Mendes nodded in relief, and patted the Colombian boy on the shoulder, "The only thing you need now is The focus is on playing good football, the rest is the agent's business."
Hamei nodded, "I believe in you, Jorge."
Mendes has always had a good reputation among his clients. The most important point is that Mendes never lies. He will try his best to do what he says, which is why players trust him.
Another super agent, Raiola, treats his clients in the same way, and the players also trust Raiola very much.
It's just that, compared to Mendes' relationship with major clubs, Raiola's relationship with many clubs is not so friendly. Even if the relationship is very good temporarily, but once the honeymoon period is over, the possibility of falling out great.
...
On January 22, the second leg of the League Cup semi-final.
Aston Villa host Bradford.
Fang Jue did his best in the game.
Ibrahimovic and De Bruyne scored in the first half of the game.
Lewandowski scored in the second half.
Vardy, who came off the bench, also assisted Italian defender Thornton to score a goal.
Bradford only scored a face-saving goal late in the game.
Aston Villa beat Bradford 4-1 at home, eliminated their opponents with a total score of 6-2 in the two rounds, and advanced to the final of the English League Cup this season.
Their opponents in the League Cup final will be the winner between Chelsea and Swansea.
Aston Villa v Bradford;
Chelsea vs Swansea;
After the Carabao Cup semi-final match came out, the media generally believed that the final would undoubtedly be played between Aston Villa and Chelsea.
However, compared to Aston Villa's cut melons and vegetables to advance, Chelsea's side encountered trouble. They lost 0-2 at home to Swansea in the first leg of the League Cup semi-final. It was a big upset.
Looking at the current situation, if the second leg of the semi-final between Chelsea and Swansea cannot be reversed tomorrow, Aston Villa's opponent in the League Cup final will be Swansea.
Aston Villa's progress to this season's League Cup final is not big news.
In addition to Aston Villa's quarter-finals in the League Cup last season, Aston Villa won the League Cup for two consecutive seasons in the 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 seasons.
For the League Cup, Aston Villa's current attitude is to get the best, and it's nothing if they can't get it. They are not so hungry for the League Cup.
The attitude of the media is similar. For the current Aston Villa, the Premier League seems to be heading for four consecutive championships. The League Cup championship really cannot excite the media.
They actually look forward to Aston Villa losing more, whether it is in the cup or in the league. In short, Aston Villa is unlucky to lose in England's domestic competitions. This is almost the vast majority of English media and most fans of other teams. common wish.
Aston Villa also announced good news after the team advanced to the League Cup final. The contract renewal between the team and Colombian young star James Rodriguez was completed, and the contract between Hamei and Aston Villa Extended for two years until June 30, 2017.
