We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 304 New Player Report, Lukaku is in Trouble

In response, Aston Villa officially responded: "We think we have no influence outside of China, so we have not arranged any activities in other places."

“If there is a strong demand from everyone, we will appropriately consider carrying out activities in South Korea and Japan in the future.”

"But our activities in China are confirmed. If friends from other Asian countries want to participate in our China trip, they can go to China in the future. We will reserve special tickets and places for you."

For a time, there was a fierce competition in the country over the qualification to host Villa's tour of China next year.

Because it means that a large number of fans from neighboring countries will flock in.

They've been here for at least a week.

Food, clothing, housing, travel and so on, the economy is definitely boosted.

It certainly can't be compared with the World Cup, but it is no less than the driving force of a large-scale global event on a city.

The two clubs with the highest comprehensive influence in world football are Manchester United and Real Madrid.

To a certain extent, it also relies on the explosion of the Internet.

They had the strongest strength at this stage, won enough championships, and had enough superstars to quickly capture fans around the world.

Before this, there were teams that were more dominant than them, but they didn't have as many fans.

But in general, these clubs are lagging behind in their development in Asia because the overall consumption level here is not yet high.

Aston Villa's main battlefield is China. If it can achieve good results in the next few years, it is likely to become the most popular club in Asia.

By the way, it radiates to India, and in one go it has 36% of the world's population market.

Ten years later, the world's top club may not necessarily be Villa, but it will definitely be Aston Villa!
……

After a period of running-in, all the players in the Villa team have shown a new look, especially the new players.

They were each given a skill.

Arteta's years at Barcelona have not been in vain. His personal level has been raised from a [star-level player] when he left Palermo to a [first-class player] level.

There are three skills: [Basic Through Pass], [Pull and Turn], and [Basic Curve Kick]. The new skill for joining the team is [Basic Long Shot].

They are all "player-level skills".

As long as he improves his skill level, Arteta can play like a core player in every minute.

Because he, like Motta, is a native player of this type and can integrate seamlessly.

Arteta is also the strongest star signed by Villa this season, second only to Motta, who is a top player in Villa.

The first one to come is the second brother.

It really wasn't wasted that he spent this old age.

Who would have thought that they were both young players in Barcelona's youth training system, and in the blink of an eye they have become big names in Barcelona.

From the entry stage, growth stage, peak stage to decline stage of career.

They are almost at the end of their football journey, which is very touching.

The second strongest signing is Lukaku, [Top Five League Level], with the skill position of [Pull the Ball and Turn].

The reason why he was given this skill is because Lukaku never wanted to be a fat guy.

There is always a Ronaldo dream in his heart.

At the very least, he plays like Henry.

After all, he is Lukaku, a professional winger with a flat head and a beer belly.

Anyway, he doesn't want to be a player like Drogba.

But unfortunately, his template determines that his brightest future lies in developing into a striker like Drogba.

Alternatively, if he can confront the head coach and make it clear that he will not gain weight or become a muscleman, that would also be fine.

But on the one hand, he had to gain weight in accordance with the team's arrangement, and on the other hand, he still maintained or even became more fond of dribbling and passing the opponent, etc. He has been slow to master the most important back-to-the-basket ability of a fulcrum center.

It was not until the end of his career that he truly became a fulcrum, and he wasted his peak period in the transformation process.

In addition, facts have also proved that Lukaku does not have the talent to become a top fulcrum striker.

Until the end of his career, although he did a good job in the fulcrum, his carrying of people was still rigid. You can see that he tried very hard and even aggressively to fight against the opponent's defenders, demanding and providing a fulcrum for the team and becoming the team's bridgehead.

But the top-level fulcrum can complete this task more smoothly.

And after receiving the ball, we will do better in how to move the offense to the next stage.

Lukaku always has a bit of a depressed feeling in this regard... "working hard to snatch the ball, only to pass it back."

This is why a forced melon is not sweet.

So He Tianqi didn't put up any resistance against him.

Since he likes being Ronaldo, let him be Ronaldo.

Even if we play like the future Thuram, it would be pretty good.

Maintain the impact force while there is still speed, and with such a large template, you can definitely kill anyone who stands in your way.

If you are seriously injured or can't run anymore, then you can transform into a fulcrum.

Don't let people drive a supercar at 5 kilometers per hour in the city every day. It is not only uncomfortable but also more fuel-consuming.

If Lukaku knew what He Tianqi had arranged for him, he would definitely kneel down and call him daddy.

Because of his conditions, he will be PUA'd into a fulcrum by the coach wherever he goes.

Only He Tianqi, who knew that he was indeed not suitable to be a fulcrum, could avoid this detour.

Next up are the [Secondary League Level] players.

Azpilicueta, his skill is [Basic Assist Defense].

During this period, Azpilicueta was very aggressive, liked to cross the ball, and the quality of his crosses was also high. Marseille fans once called him a cross maniac.

This season He Tianqi will try some three-center-back formations.

The team's full-backs can play in multiple positions such as wing forward and wing center back.

The media was right about one thing, He Tianqi does prefer players who can play multiple positions.

Because when the game really starts, his players often have to play different roles on the court.

Future football players may not be able to play all positions on the field, but they will definitely be able to play most positions.

This is the evolutionary trend of professional football and industrial football.

Only a very small number of geniuses can retain their own characteristics and display their talents in certain special positions.

Xhaka's skill is [Backer], but he is still in the recovery period. He just reported to the team and then returned to recuperate.

Rudiger's skill is [marking], and He Tianqi positioned him as "Little Boateng", a defensive pioneer and offensive all-round defender.

Van Dijk's positioning is "Little Bonucci", the commander of the defense line, who stays back appropriately and makes refined long passes.

Van Dijk was also promoted from [Professional Level] to [Secondary League Level] this summer, and he has completely adapted to his beastly body.

Oblak also advanced to the [Secondary League Level] during this holiday.

The other three new players, Mané, Maguire and Luke Shaw, are at the [Professional Level]. Mané's skill is [Basic Cut Inside]. His personal ability is outstanding, but his tactical ability is weak. He had previously received amateur or semi-professional training.

Vera's professional-level training will allow him to transform quickly.

Maguire's skill is [Basic Heading]. He has a big head, so he is more stable when heading the ball. This is a talent and he must make use of it.

Luke Shaw is the youngest member of the team, not even seventeen years old, and has acquired the skill [Basic Cross].

Among these new players, basically only Arteta, Lukaku and Azpilicueta will take on more important game tasks.

The rest of the new players will mainly start their training from unimportant competitions such as the league and the League Cup.

That’s right, He Tianqi’s evaluation of the Premier League is “unimportant”.

At least that's how the Premier League is evaluated at this stage.

Since winning the Europa League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup treble last season, many media have rated Villa as the new Premier League big6.

Or they can be collectively called the Seven Heroes of the Premier League, the Seven Sisters of the Premier League, etc.

Everyone believes that Villa will make a strong push in the Premier League this season.

Only a few people on Villa's side understand that Villa's focus this season is still not on the Premier League.

Zidane almost went crazy when he saw this season plan for the first time.

If you don't compete for the Premier League, how can you prove that you are the strongest team in England?

Will fans, players and media buy it?
As a result, He Tianqi gave Zidane a lesson at the time: "Come, repeat after me, Britain is only a part of Europe."

"Even if I didn't coach Real Madrid, La Liga would have more Champions League titles than the Premier League. Do you know why?"

"Because the Spanish Football Association will make concessions for the Champions League, the teams playing in the Champions League can get some privileges in the league, including postponing the game and so on."

"And this kind of thing is difficult to apply for in the Premier League."

"If the Spaniards think that winning the Champions League can enhance the value of La Liga and bring more fans to La Liga, they are taking this matter seriously."

"Then the English people think that if the team that won the Champions League was defeated by us, it would show the greatness of the Premier League and enhance the value of the Premier League."

“These are two completely different concepts.”

Zidane was convinced: "So you choose the former?"

He Tianqi shook his head: "The facts chose the former! Who is bigger than who? This is a very simple truth, but many simple things become complicated when these Europeans use theory to apply it."

"The English media spend countless energy every year discussing whether the Premier League trophy is more important than the Champions League trophy, but they can only convince themselves."

"The whole world knew that the Champions League was worth more, even before Serie A fell into disrepair."

Zidane: "How should we tell the outside world about this?"

He Tianqi: "Say? Why should we say it? Why should we remind them? Let England fight for their damn Premier League. When a team wins the Premier League ten times in a row in the future, the Premier League will be completely worthless from now on."

Zidane: "What if someone wins the Champions League ten times in a row? You have already won five in a row."

He Tianqi: "Then the sport of football will be destroyed, at least European football will be destroyed. This is why Florentino and I both hope that I can leave Real Madrid."

"I have given European football two full years. Now, it's time to see if they have taken football seriously in the past two years."

Zidane was shocked.

What a great sense of the overall situation!

So by coaching Villa, I am giving European football a break.

English Championship: ???
League Cup: CNM!

Ancestors: MMP!

Europa League: Don’t treat the Europa League as a European competition, brother!

……

Villa training ground.

An intra-team training match is underway.

"Walker, go up, go forward, you are free now, but you can't let yourself be so free!" He Tianqi kept directing on the sidelines, "De Bruyne, don't pass the ball to Lukaku like this, don't treat him as Giroud."

"Let Lukaku chase the ball in your favourite way, he can do it."

"Okay, that's how you play Arteta. I can't believe Barcelona put a player in such good form on the bench for a whole season. You have to play at least 50 games for me this year, do you understand?"

"Maguire, what are you doing? Don't go and tackle Luke Shaw. It's not him who's blocking you, it's your own slow pace!"

"Rudiger, don't sprint with your legs raised high, it will make it difficult for you to block the opponent's low cross."

"Mane, well done. Although there were many offsides, keep the momentum. This is what you need most in this position. You should try to pass the ball to your teammates more. You can trust them. Each of them is a championship-level player!"

"Oblak, attack, attack, expand your defensive range!"

"Courtois, I've told you many times not to show off your footwork. If I catch you dribbling when you should be kicking the ball, I will come up and tackle you twice!"

It can be seen that there are still some problems in the team's running-in and the integration of new players.

But the good news is that they will not participate in the war as the main force.

The team's main framework is even more solid than last year.

So this year's Villa can be said to be firing on all cylinders from the very beginning.

And their first game of the new season was indeed a clash of the two.

In the upcoming Community Shield, they will have a decisive battle with last year's Premier League champions and Champions League semi-finalists Manchester United!

Please note, this is the super Manchester United that brings together the four dark kings!
Na can't pass, Wa can't shoot, Bei can't score, and Yang can't win!

Despite the absence of Ronaldo, Valencia and Ashley Young have become super players under He Tianqi, which is enough to offset the absence of Ronaldo.

After all, these two have far exceeded their proper heights and have been on the Ballon d'Or shortlist several times.

Valencia has been to each of the top ten twice!
"Team doctor! Team doctor!"

The sound from the training ground interrupted He Tianqi's thoughts.

Everyone on the court was very nervous.

Because Motta is injured!
His expression was extremely painful, and you could tell at a glance that something was seriously wrong.

Lukaku, who was confronting Motta, was almost scared to death.

You know, at this moment Motta is the world's number one defensive midfielder, no doubt about it!

He is one of the core players of the team.

Defense commander.

The supreme elder in the locker room usually doesn't speak, and when he does, it means his conclusion.

Thiago Motta will definitely be on the list for the FIFA Ballon d'Or early next year, and may even make it into the top ten!

In other words, they are players who have a chance of winning the Ballon d'Or, rather than players who are just doing nothing.

Even though he will be scolded like a dog if they manipulate the situation behind the scenes to get the award, he will be able to keep it after the storm is over. He won't be the kind of award that people will still criticize him for not deserving after more than a decade.
