The Glory of the Godfather

Aston Villa defeated Chelsea, a direct competitor to win the championship in the first battle, which caused heated discussion and attention in the media.

Now, few people say that Aston Villa will be a flash in the pan.

Everyone is beginning to realize that Aston Villa is really emerging as a new force in the Premier League.

The club has become the focus of media attention, and Villa's players have also become the focus of many media discussions.

Especially the young Welsh star Gareth Bale.

In the eight rounds of the league, Bell has already scored two goals and also contributed eight assists.

This is very scary data. You must know that Bell last season's league statistics were nine goals and ten assists. With such an outstanding performance, Bell was named the best rookie in the Premier League.

Now, let alone the number of goals, the league is less than one-fifth, and Bell has eight assists.

In addition, the young Welsh star also had an assist in the Champions League.

Such crazy data performance has attracted exclamation from the media.

"The Times" reporter Duncan directly asserted, ‘this is a season for Bell’.

Such an outstanding performance, the young Welsh star has also attracted the attention of many giants.

"The Sun" reported that many giants, including Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, are already paying attention to Bell.

The newspaper predicted that if the current hot state continues, the Welsh player may transfer to a giant club as soon as next summer.

"How about the contract extension negotiations with Bell?" Fang Jue asked the club general manager Byron.

Fang Jue also noticed the relevant media reports.

Although there is no sign that Bell intends to transfer to another team, Fang Jue must not be more vigilant.

This is the sorrow of non-rich teams.

After a good player emerges, it is necessary to prevent fire and theft and gouging.

If Aston Villa has grown to the status of Manchester United, Fang Jue doesn’t need to worry too much. There are rumors that Rooney will be poached in almost every transfer window, but the actual operability is extremely low .

The contract between Bell and Aston Villa will not expire until 2014, and there are three and a half years of contract.

However, in order to avoid some unexpected situations, Aston Villa has already negotiated a contract extension with Bell.

In fact, not only Bell, but also Milner, Abangraho, Diego Costa, and so on, the clubs are all negotiating for renewal at the same time.

This is not just to tie down players and prevent corner digging.

This is also a compliment to the players.

Last season, the team won the league championship and achieved good results for the double crown. The club performed well, and the players have to raise their salaries. This is what the question should mean.

You can't tie down the players by propagating your sincerity to the club. Money reward is the most practical.

It is foreseeable that after such a wave of contract renewals, Aston Villa's player salary expenses will rise significantly.

This is also the reason why many non-rich teams ultimately fail to retain players after achieving good results. Not only are the cheque books waved against the rich teams make people’s minds tempting, but also because players continue to raise their salaries and renew their contracts, which will eventually lead to A team that is not financially rich is difficult to support.

Fortunately, Aston Villa's financial situation is very good. Faced with the player's salary renewal, the pressure is not too great at present.

This is also related to the relatively reasonable salary structure of Aston Villa.

The team's current maximum salary is 80,000 pounds a week, and only Ronaldo and Barack and Desler get a maximum salary of 80,000 pounds.

Then there is Shevchenko's £50,000 weekly salary.

Like Bell, his current weekly salary is 25,000 pounds, which is not low for a 21-year-old.

However, considering Bell's current ability and excellent state, as well as popularity in the transfer market, this salary is very low.

In fact, the negotiations between Aston Villa and Bell have been going on for some time, but they have not reached a consensus.

Bell's agent Jody Stevens proposed a weekly salary of 80,000 pounds, which is to match the maximum salary of Ronaldo and others.

This was unacceptable to Fang Jue.

Let alone whether Bell's current team status and ability can be on par with Ronaldo, that is, considering Bell's age and sustainability factors, they cannot agree to this salary requirement.

Bell is only 21 years old, and this time he was offered a maximum salary of 80,000 pounds. Then, one year later, two years later, when the contract extension is negotiated again, what salary does Aston Villa need to offer? Satisfy?

Not only that, if Bell gets the maximum salary in the team, it will also cause huge waves in the dressing room. What will Milner, Abangrajo and Diego Costa think? How much is their salary?

Therefore, the player's contract renewal negotiations are not isolated and must be considered in all aspects.

Fortunately, Bell now has more than three years of contract with Aston Villa. The renewal can be negotiated slowly, and there is no rush for the time being.

A day later, the Aston Villa team left Birmingham and headed to Milan, Italy, to prepare for the highlight of the Champions League group stage.

Aston Villa will be playing away at the Meazza Stadium in Milan, against the seeded team of the group and defending Champions League Inter Milan.

"Benitez has suffered a crisis of confidence!"

"Moratti gave an order to win Vera at home!"

On the plane, Fang Jue flipped through the newspaper and saw the front page article of Gazzetta dello Sport.

Gee.

Fang Jue shook his head. It seems that Master Bei, an old opponent, had a hard time at Inter Milan.

Benitez officially became the Inter Milan coach this year, and he signed a two-year work agreement with the Nerazzurri.

But in the new season, Benitez led the team but played an unsatisfactory record.

In August's European Super Cup, Inter Milan lost 0:2 to Atletico Madrid, losing the only chance to hit the championship in the history of the team in 2012.

In the new season, Benitez's team's record in the league and the Champions League can not be said to be satisfactory at present.

Inter Milan, as the five consecutive champions of Serie A, after seven rounds of the league, ranked behind Lazio and AC Milan, only ranked third.

In the Champions League match, Inter Milan, who became the seeded team, was drawn by the group's weakest opponent, Twente, on the first match day, which caused criticism from the Italian media.

Although on the second day of the match, the home win over Werder Bremen by four to zero made Benitez's pressure less.

However, nothing is afraid of comparison. Aston Villa in the same group first defeated Bremen by 5 to 0, and then beat Twente by 5 to 1, ranking first in the group, which made the defending champion international Milan is a bit shameless, so Benitez can be said to have suffered a crisis of confidence.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the game against Aston Villa is an exam for Benitez. Only when Aston Villa wins at home can Benitez be able to pass. Otherwise, Master Bei's life will only get more and more sad.

...

"Inter Milan is the defending champion and a very strong team that deserves respect."

"I know Benitez, this is a winner."

"No, no, no~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If we can take away a point from Milan, we will still be number one in the group. This is our goal."

"The match at Meazza will be very tough, and we are ready to play a tough match."

At the Malpensa Airport in Milan, Fang Jue was interviewed by reporters. He spoke highly of Inter Milan, and his attitude was very low-key.

This makes the face-saving Italians very happy.

In a subsequent report by Gazzetta dello Sport, it was slightly expressive that the defending Premier League champion was in awe of the Triple Crown. In this game, what Inter Milan has to do is to make Aston Villa face the international team after the game. Milan is more in awe.

"In this game, we have only one goal, to win!"

"The Triple Crown is just history. We don't need to pay attention to this. With our current strength and state, we must be afraid. It should be Inter Milan who is afraid of us!"

When he arrived at the hotel he was staying at, Fang Jue called the whole team for a meeting, as he said in the first sentence.
