The first destination for the Aston Villa Asia trip was Thailand.

Due to historical reasons, many Southeast Asian countries used to be British colonies.

Britain has had a profound cultural influence on themselves until now.

In Thailand, the Premier League is very popular.

The Times once reported that Thais are obsessed with the Premier League, especially their students' favorite thing to watch is the Premier League.

Every game day, in front of the TV in the school restaurant and dormitory hall, there are fans watching Premier League games.

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

It’s just because Aston Villa’s previous record was average, these fans have been ‘hiding’.

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

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

Aston Villa's team arrived in Bangkok received a warm welcome from local fans.

Fang Jue announced the team discipline as soon as possible: Don’t indulge!

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

This guy has a criminal record.

I had a fun trip in Thailand before, and I brought warmth to the fallen women, but three Thai specialties came.

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

However, the other party also recognized Ronaldo and used it as blackmail to make 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 by four-to-two.

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

Before leaving Thailand, Aston Villa signed a three-year contract with telecommunications group true corporation plc.

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

true is the only leading supplier in Thailand that provides fully integrated communications and converged solutions.

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

Fang Jue was in a good mood when he left the beautiful Bangkok with this three-year contract of £6.5 million a year, £19.5 million a year.

A good start.

...

Leaving Thailand.

The second stop of Aston Villa Asia Tour is Japan.

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

In this game, Fang Jue issued an order not to let go.

In the end, Aston Villa defeated 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 cheers were resounding.

Even the organizers have a better attitude towards them.

In Japan, Aston Villa received two endorsements.

It has signed a three-year sponsorship endorsement contract with Nissin Cup, with £5.5 million a year and £16.5 million a year in two years.

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

The two sides have signed a contract for three years, with a total value of up to £24 million.

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

The trip to Hong Kong in China is a pure commercial invitational tournament, and there is no signing of brand endorsement.

Aston Villa played a game with the Hong Kong Star United in China, giving the opponent a score of 7 to 0, and took away a £2 million appearance fee.

Aston Villa's focus of this Asian tour is on China.

First visited the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

As the Premier League champion team with such strong Chinese elements, Aston Villa is very popular in China.

In the Shanghai Stock Exchange, nearly 10,000 fans came to the airport to wait for their trip.

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

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

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

The second stop of the trip to Vila China was placed in Guangzhou.

Guangzhou's football market is very popular.

Aston Villa's training tickets were even hyped up to 500 yuan per ticket, which was even more expensive than some tickets for the official competition.

Even in a training class, the sidelines were crowded with fans, and tickets were even hyped up by the "scalpers" to sky-high prices. Aston Villa's popularity in China can be imagined.

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

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

When leaving China, Aston Villa signed three endorsement contracts.

The three endorsements are as high as 16.45 million pounds per year, and the total revenue in three years is close to 50 million pounds.

During this trip to Asia, Aston Villa's total appearance fee was 10.5 million pounds.

The revenue of commercial endorsement reached 36.45 million pounds per year, and the total revenue in three years was as high as 19.35 million pounds.

In just over ten days, I made nearly 120 million pounds!

It can be said that it is a lot of money.

When leaving Asia and returning to Birmingham, Aston Villa CEO Bob Clark couldn't help but be happy, saying that he would come to Asia often in the future and give back to the enthusiastic Asian fans.

Of course, there are also disharmonious factors.

There were protests from South Korea, believing that Aston Villa went to Thailand, went to Japan, visited Hong Kong and mainland China, but did not come to South Korea alone, which was discrimination against South Korea.

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

Fang Jue was also helpless.

He also wants to make money from Koreans.

Due to 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.

Aston Villa's entire team officially began to prepare for the battle in full swing.

Five days later, Aston Villa will usher in the first game of the new season.

Not a Premier League event.

It is the preheating of the Premier League in previous years: Community Shield Cup.

This is a match between the Premier League champion and the FA Cup champion.

Aston Villa was the Premier League champion last season.

Chelsea was the FA Cup champion last season.

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

Aston Villa's official website later announced the news that another player had left.

The team's old Dutch defender Wilfred Bowma joined the Dutch League team Groningen for £3.5 million. The Dutch veteran chose Ye Luo to return to his roots.

Wilfred Bowma's departure.

Fang Jue considered adding to the left back position.

He could not expect Milner to stay in full attendance for a season. Although Milner is thick and resistant to fucking, injury is an unexpected situation. What is an unexpected situation? It is something you would not expect.

Fang Aware that he must be prepared for any trouble.

As for the team's left-back substitute O'Haloran, the Irish player's strength is indeed very average. The player himself is pessimistic about his future at Aston Villa and is seeking a transfer and leaving.

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

Fang Jue also watched the player's information and game videos, and he was indeed a good seedling.

But, the problem is here.

This player is from Tottenham Hotspur.

This is difficult to deal with.

Could it be that we will find Manchester City to cooperate?

Not to mention that Manchester City is not Aston Villa's younger brother, it is impossible for them to help do such things all the time.

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

Difficult to deal with!
