Chapter 1011: Villa Monthly Pass for Crazy Signing)
"As many media and experts judged after the end of last season, Aston Villa, who had been silent for a year, will make big moves in the transfer market this summer and rebuild the existing lineup to a certain extent. However, many people did not expect that the first person to leave Aston Villa would be Zlatan Ibrahimovic."
This was already early July 2014. The smoke of the Brazilian World Cup had not completely dissipated. The German tanks reached the top of the world. The shock caused by the massacre of Brazilians at their doorstep seemed to be still yesterday. The attention of fans and media was attracted by the big news in the transfer market.
French Ligue 1 giant Paris Saint-Germain officially announced that the club introduced the 2013 FIFA Golden Baller from Aston Villa Club for a transfer fee of 51 million euros, Swedish veteran Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
This news shocked the world.
First of all, I didn't expect that Aston Villa's first departure would be Ibrahimovic.
Aston Villa ranked second in the Premier League last season and only won the runner-up, which avoided the embarrassment of being beaten by Aston Villa for five consecutive championships.
Aston Villa lost a little sadly. They had the same points as Manchester City, and they also tied each other's record, and eventually lost the league championship with a goal difference.
In the Champions League, Aston Villa tied with Atletico Madrid in two rounds in the semi-finals and was eliminated in the penalty shootout.
Aston Villa only won the FA Cup in England in the season.
The Premier League runner-up, the Champions League semi-finals, the English League Cup semi-finals, and the FA Cup champion, such results are actually not too bad, and are even acceptable for most Premier League giants.
However, considering that Aston Villa had just won the seventh crown before and then only won one cup championship, this is indeed a bit "acceptable".
Therefore, some media predict that Aston Villa will adjust the team's lineup this summer.
Now, Aston Villa's first departure has appeared, the new FIFA Golden Baller Mr. Ibrahimovic.
...
However, after the media carefully analyzed (afterwards), everyone seemed not so surprised by Ibrahimovic's transfer and departure. After Ibrahimovic won the Golden Globes, Ibrahimovic's agent Raiola yelled high-profilely to Aston Villa to give Ibrahimovic a raise, and it was even rumored that Raiola asked for a weekly salary of £450,000 for his clients.
The relationship between Aston Villa coach Fang Jue and Raiola deteriorated sharply, and at that time it laid the fuse for Ibrahimovic's transfer and departure.
Unlike the media reactions of Bale's transfer from Aston Villa to Real Madrid, this time some media agreed that Aston Villa sold Ibrahimovic to Paris Saint-Germain.
Nothing else, Paris Saint-Germain gives too much money.
51 million euros!
For a 32-year-old veteran, such a transfer fee was incredible in the past.
Of course, no one said that Paris Saint-Germain is stupid and has a lot of money. This is mainly because of Ibrahimovic's Golden Globe bonus, which is a superstar who just won the FIFA Golden Globe Award. And although Aston Villa only won one cup championship this season, Ibrahimovic's data is not bad, on the contrary, it is excellent.
The competitive state of 32-year-old Ibrahimovic has amazed many experts.
In the words of the Times, "Fang Jue helped Ibrahimovic win the Golden Globes, and then the Swedes left a high transfer fee in return."
Subsequently, the Sun disclosed another explosive news about Ibrahimovic's transfer to Paris Saint-Germain. In order to attract the joining of the new Ko Jinba, Paris Saint-Germain, they offered Ibrahimovic an annual salary of 22 million euros. Faced with such a sky-high salary, neither Ibrahimovic nor Raiola could refuse, which also made Ibrahimovic surpass Real Madrid's Ronaldo and Barcelona's Messi and once again became the working emperor in football.
...
The Guardian used the word "three wins" to describe Ibrahimovic's transfer to Paris Saint-Germain:
Aston Villa received a sky-high transfer fee, and the departure of Ibrahimovic, who had a weekly salary of £260,000 also allowed Aston Villa to free up his salary space. Most importantly, this may be the last chance that Ibrahimovic, who is already thirty-two, can sell at a sky-high price.
Ibrahimovic joined Paris Saint-Germain, with the 22 million euro football 200,000 annual salary after tax in history enough to satisfy Zlatan.
Paris Saint-Germain, who is not short of money, has won the new Golden Ball Award, who is in a very good competitive state, which is of great significance to enhancing the influence and strength of this French Ligue 1 giant team.
Ibrahimovic has left after transferring and now there are only two strikers in Aston Villa in the true sense of the team, Lewandowski and Valdi.
Aston Villa is bound to strengthen on the front line.
Just when the media were speculating on which potential targets Aston Villa would lock in the front line, Aston Villa officially announced the forward signings two days later.
Aston Villa Club announced that Chelsea club's 21-year-old young Belgian center Romelu Lukaku officially transferred to join for £28.1 million, and the club signed a five-year contract with the Belgian young center.
Duncan Castour, a columnist for The Times, commented on the transfer and used the sentence "Fang Jue finally got what he wanted."
Aston Villa lost the key points of the league last season. One of the important reasons is that Lewandowski and De Bruyne were injured one after another. Aston Villa's offensive strength was severely damaged. When the winter transfer window opened last season, Fang Jue tried to introduce Lukaku, but Chelsea had been unwilling to let him go.
Now, after more than half a year of negotiations, Aston Villa finally took Lukaku, and Fang Jue's substitute for Lewandowski is in place.
The Guardian analyzed from another perspective that Aston Villa has a huge ambition in the new season. Aston Villa is willing to spend 28.1 million pounds just by introducing Lewandowski's substitute, which shows Fang Jue's ambition for the new season.
...
Before the Guardian finished speaking, just four days later, news of a major transfer broke out in European football.
Real Madrid Club announced on its official website that Colombian star Jamet Rodriguez will join and J Ronaldo will sign with Real Madrid for 6 years to 2020.
Although Real Madrid did not disclose the transfer fee, the Spanish media, which is powerful, still got a relatively accurate number. J Ronaldo's transfer fee reached 80 million euros. In the future, according to J Ronaldo's appearances in Real Madrid, Aston Villa can get up to 8 million euros. In this way, J Ronaldo's total transfer fee will reach 88 million euros.
In addition, J Ronaldo's annual salary at Real Madrid reached 7 million euros, which is 1.5 times his salary at Aston Villa, wearing No. 10 in the new season.
J Ronaldo transfers to Real Madrid, and Florentino once again poached Bale two years after poaching Bale.

This transfer has sparked European football.
Some media reported that Ronaldo joined Real Madrid because Aston Villa did not meet his salary requirements.
However, both Ha Mei herself and Fang Jue denied this.
The Birmingham Evening News also reported that in fact, Aston Villa had no major differences with J Ronaldo on salary issues.
In fact, the reason why the Colombian star who shined in the World Cup left was very direct. His position at Aston Villa was strongly impacted by De Bruyne. In addition, Pogba's rapid growth also made J Ronaldo not that important to Aston Villa to a certain extent.
In addition, there is another reason, that is, Fang Jue is already considering taking back the South Korean international Son Heung-min who is on loan.
Previously, Aston Villa loaned Son Heung-min to the Bundesliga team Hamburg for two consecutive seasons, and the Korean young man performed well in the Hamburg team.
Aston Villa is trying to actively seek a labor certificate for Son Heung-min. Once he can successfully obtain the labor certificate, Son Heung-min will stay in Aston Villa's first team in the new season and will not be rented out again.
Of course, in the face of Real Madrid's call, the Colombian boy seemed to have no firm mindset to refuse.
Although Aston Villa is now a wealthy family, it is Real Madrid after all.
...
July 22, 2014, Aston Villa's new season training day.
A large number of Aston Villa fans gathered at Aston Villa's new training base to welcome the team's training in the new season.
No training was arranged on the first day of the training camp, mainly for physical examinations of the players.
Those who are more indulgent during the holidays and do not arrange their catering properly according to the nutritionist's advice now have the first priority to lose weight and gain muscle.
Fang Jue just showed up, chatted with the players for a while before leaving.
His current focus is on the transfer market.
The first thing to consider is the signing of the goalkeeper position.
After the end of last season, Italian veteran Kudicini announced his retirement. Now, Aston Villa has only one goalkeeper position and three goalkeepers produced by his youth training.
Aston Villa needs to find a qualified substitute for Ter Stegen.
Fang Jue targeted Arsenal's Polish veteran Fabianski.
Fabianski's contract with Arsenal has expired, so to be precise, Bianski is now free.
Fabianski, who originally planned to join Swansea, received a call from Fang Jue.
Fang Jue did not fool Fabiansky. He clearly informed the Polish goalkeeper that Aston Villa's No. 1 goal would be Ter Stegen. If there is no special situation, he would only be the second goal when he came to Aston Villa.
This requires Fabianski to do a multiple-choice question, whether to go to Swansea to be the main goalkeeper, or come to Aston Villa to sit on the bench to win the championship.
In the end, Fabianski's choice was to sign with Aston Villa.
After playing for seven years at Arsenal, Fabianski has not been able to win any enough championship with the team. The 29-year-old Polish goalkeeper thought his career would be like this. If he could come to Aston Villa to get a few championships, it would be excellent.
And Fang Jue also promised to rotate as much as possible in the England domestic Cup, giving Fabianski a playing time, which made the Polish goalkeeper satisfied.
Two days later, Fabianski passed the physical examination, and Aston Villa Club officially announced the news that the Polish goalkeeper had joined the team by free agents.
...
Five days later, Aston Villa played a warm-up match, and they beat the visiting Belgian team Standard Liege by a three-to-one score.
It was after the game of this day that Aston Villa Club officially announced that the team's Japanese international Shinji Kagawa officially joined Manchester United for £23 million. Aston Villa Club wishes Shinji Kagawa all the best at Manchester United.
JR went to Real Madrid, and now Shinji Kagawa has also transferred and left. In addition, Ibrahimovic has left, Aston Villa's creativity and activity in the midfield are questioned.
However, just two days later, Aston Villa Club officially announced a major signing.
Aston Villa Club officially announced that the club successfully introduced 25-year-old Chilean attacker Alex Sanchez from Barcelona for a transfer fee of 29 million pounds. Aston Villa and Sanchez signed for five years. In the new season, Sanchez will wear the No. 17 jersey left by Shinji Kagawa.
Sanchez joined Aston Villa, and the news shocked many people.
Its shock even exceeded that of Ibrahimovic's transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.
It's mainly too sudden:
Previously, the media received news that the closest thing to Sanchez is Arsenal. Wenger favored Sanchez very much. Arsenal has been chasing Sanchez for more than half a year. It is said that Sanchez will undergo a physical examination in London two days later. Unexpectedly, Sanchez did not come to London. Instead, Aston Villa suddenly announced the joining of the Chileans.
Later, more rumors were revealed, and the Sun broke the news that because Aston Villa "does not speak martial arts" suddenly intercepted Sanchez, Arsenal head coach Wenger was very angry, and the professor even said he wanted to break up with Fang Jue.
However, even the Sun expressed that they did not believe that the two of them would break up with each other. The two of them had been rumored to have broken up with each other several times, but they were not successful.
Fang Jue felt that he was wronged.
What a mistake, you, Arsenal, are indeed talking about introducing Sanchez.
However, as long as you don’t get a certificate, you can get a scoundrel.
Besides, it wasn't that he used some despicable means to force the slap. In fact, Aston Villa's transfer fee of £29.1 million is 700,000 less than Arsenal's double-team of £29.8 million. It was Sanchez who immediately nodded and expressed his willingness to come to Aston Villa after learning about Aston Villa's invitation...
After Sanchez joined the team, Fang Jue wrote the current team's lineup on the tactical board, and he was thinking about what other positions he needed to supplement or clean up.
First, the offensive end.
In the forward position, the teams include Lewandowski, Valdi and Lukaku, and the center position is relatively sufficient.
