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

Chapter 341 Lewandowski can’t wait for spring, Villa’s new apocalypse stadium

Lewandowski did not have a happy summer.

He has made great contributions to Villa this season.

In various unimportant competitions, he is the absolute main force and holds up half of Villa's sky.

Also enjoyed the joy of being the core of tactics.

He also played the role of a surprise weapon in the Champions League and was even the "key" to Villa's title!
However, his "despicable" behavior also backfired and he began to be boycotted by major teams.

There are rumors that Real Madrid is interested in Lewandowski. They believe that Lewandowski has good strength and potential and can provide a good supplement to Real Madrid's forward line.

Moreover, fans have been very dissatisfied with Benzema in the past two years, and Higuain has visible conflicts with Ronaldo.

In addition, Lewandowski is a Pole, and the Eastern European color is also indispensable to Real Madrid's "world football" strategy.

As a result, Marca launched a vote on the introduction of Lewandowski.

Ninety percent of Real Madrid fans do not welcome Lewandowski to join Real Madrid.

Although Modric is already the Real Madrid star, what Lewandowski did to Modric still bothers Real Madrid fans.

Without Lewandowski, this year's Champions League champion might be Real Madrid!
Similarly, Barcelona also had the consideration of introducing a center forward.

They have very high requirements on footwork, and currently only Lewandowski of Villa and Suarez of Liverpool meet the requirements, with the former having the better momentum.

As a result, 100% of Barcelona fans expressed their disapproval of Lewandowski.

There are even team management who said, "If Lewandowski joins Barcelona, ​​he will not appear on the posters for Barcelona's 125th anniversary"!
As for Bayern fans... they already have Dong Wang, so why are they still considering Little Dong Wang?

For the first time, Lewandowski has had an extremely difficult summer.

Until he saw the transfer news on TV.

Sky Sports: "Villa disintegrates? Five transactions in one week, all selling players! Villa's pillar record transfers to Chelsea!"

BBC: "Giroud joins Chelsea for 40 million euros, and the English League begins to dismember He Tianqi!"

Bild: "Chelsea said Giroud is one of the top center forwards in the world! Hope he can gradually take over Drogba!"

France Football: "It's hard to believe that an older player who was still playing in Ligue 1 three years ago can be sold at such a top price!"

Lewandowski grinned and muttered to himself: "Giroud, Giroud, you fought with me for such a long time, and finally got a starting spot, but you were sold in less than a year!"

"From now on, I will be Villa's first center forward!"

"Hahaha!"

The TV screen flashed and another news popped up.

"Transfer interruption, just now, Aston Villa, who has sold five main players in a row, finally made its first signing!"

Then a photo appeared.

Lewandowski's eyes went dark.

Sky Sports: "Lukaku transfers to Aston Villa! An expected and unexpected transfer!"

The Times: "Villa buys out Lukaku for 30 million euros, and the player's transfer value is 40 million euros!"

Manchester Evening News: "Manchester United and Manchester City expressed dissatisfaction with Alaves' buyout money. They said that the team that was willing to pay 40 million euros lost to the team that only paid 30 million euros!"

Marca: "According to an insider, a wealthy club is willing to pay more than 50 million euros to sign Lukaku. Villa's 30 million euros buyout is definitely a bargain!"

Many people believe that this deal is unfair and even hope that UEFA will investigate.

But Vera denies the accusation.

A 20-year-old Villa fan: "Come on! This is He Tianqi buying a player! Do you want to see where 30 million euros ranks in He Tianqi's signings ranking?"

"Except for the players he brought in during his time at Real Madrid, Lukaku is already the most expensive player in the history of Palermo and Villa!"

“Lukaku is indeed worth 40 million euros, but was he that high a year ago?”

"He won the Champions League this year at Villa, so it's normal for his value to go up, but was he worth about the same last year? Maybe not even that!"

You know what, it's true.

Last year, there would have been no problem with this deal.

And in terms of market value, Lukaku is not even ranked high in Villa.

Villa sold five stars, the worst one Giroud was sold for 40 million euros, and the five players were bought for 205 million euros.

After hedging, Villa made a net profit of 175 million euros in the current transfer window.

No matter whether Lukaku is worth 30 or 40 million, isn't it just a drop in the bucket?
Even Lewandowski is a star worth 30 million.

However, Lukaku's buyout is definitely bad news for Lewandowski.

Because Lukaku has an advantage that he doesn't have... a tall body.

But Lukaku's playing style is not stable, so theoretically it is difficult for him to coexist with Lewandowski.

Lewandowski's dream of dominating the center position was shattered again.

The old Deng born in 1986 left and the young Deng born in 1993 came.

Why is it so difficult to be a ball hog?
De Bruyne: Is it difficult? I was there when I first arrived.

……

Chelsea continues to strengthen its team after signing Giroud from Villa.

They brought in Belgian star Hazard from Lille for 40 million euros.

Belgium is a land of talented people, with De Bruyne, Lukaku, Courtois... But among this group of stars, Hazard is the most outstanding since childhood, and his value is naturally 40 million euros.

Of course, times have changed. Now, Hazard is at the same level as Lukaku, but is more than one level lower than De Bruyne.

If De Bruyne transfers, his value cannot be less than 70 million euros.

After all, he is the absolute core of Villa, even more core than Motta.

This year, Villa only sold these five players.

Not many were sold, just half of the main team.

If it were any other team, they would basically be doomed.

After all, the five players Villa sold were all too strong.

The cheapest one is 40 million, what does that mean?
Let me put it this way, Manchester United spent 30 million euros to introduce a striker this year, which immediately caused a sensation in the Premier League.

Everyone says they will be invincible next season!
Looking at Vera this way, isn’t she a little too scary?

That’s right, Arsenal striker Van Persie transferred to Manchester United for 30 million euros!
This soap opera of "If there is one last person loyal to Arsenal, it's me" has finally come to an end.

Robin van Persie moved to Manchester United for his ambitions.

There was no problem judging by the results, because Arsenal had no championship competitiveness for a long time afterwards.

But most Arsenal fans are unhappy mainly because Van Persie kept causing trouble in the second half of last season, which led to the team's collapse in performance and the failure to sell him at a high price, which caused the club to suffer a lot.

In fact, for a super striker like him, Lukaku's purchase by Villa seemed to cause no splash at all.

Both forwards are worth more than 30 million euros, reaching the level of 40 million euros, which is the price of a "normal world-class forward".

This actually reflects a terrifying real-time situation from the side.

The addition of world-class combat power is a big deal for any team, enough to excite fans for three days and three nights.

But in Vera... nothing seems special!
After the dust settled on these big deals, transfers ranked in the top ten to the twentieth century occurred frequently in the following days.

Only when the upper reaches are settled can the middle and lower reaches be settled. Xavi Garcia transferred from Benfica to Manchester City for 20 million euros.

This year's Portuguese Super League also made a lot of money, roughly equal to 0.7 Villa.

Arsenal's misfortunes never come singly, as main defensive midfielder Alexander Song transferred to Barcelona for 19 million euros.

The most chilling or helpless thing about this deal is that everyone knows that Song will play as a substitute midfielder in Barcelona.

In order to return to the top of the Champions League, Barcelona's top management gave Guardiola some support.

But Guardiola still didn't get the absolute control of the team that he wanted most.

The team is still between him and the Habaimei group.

Arsenal spent 19 million euros to bring Cazorla from Malaga, hoping that the midfield star can bring new life to the team.

But such hope is undoubtedly too heavy.

Borussia Mönchengladbach youngster Reus transferred to Dortmund for 17 million euros.

Shinji Kagawa joined Manchester United from Dortmund for 16 million euros, adding another piece to Manchester United's ace lineup.

Valencia left-back Alba joined Barcelona for 14 million euros, and the La Masia child successfully returned home.

Van der Vaart returned to Hamburg, where he became famous, trying to regain his form.

From these signings, we can basically guess the football landscape in the next few years.

Inter Milan did not make significant signings after losing Mourinho, and with the rise of Juventus and its attraction to local Italian players, its decline has become inevitable.

Real Madrid has a complete lineup, and Mourinho can use it directly after he comes, without the need for major signings, which once again proves the value of He Tianqi's lineup.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City will all become the protagonists of the Premier League in the next few years.

Arsenal took a back seat.

Paris Saint-Germain rose with the support of money.

Dortmund rose to prominence through tactics under Klopp's leadership.

Villa was badly dismembered, but it still has its vitality and will have no problem qualifying for the knockout stage of the new Champions League season.

And after one season, they may have the fighting power to challenge the top of the Champions League.

The blood recovery ability is terrifyingly strong, comparable to Berserker Armor.

The industry calls this the "He Tianqi cycle."

This is an enhanced version of the “virtuous cycle”.

Once He Tianqi's cycle begins, his team will only become stronger and stronger, and even if there are lows in the middle, they are only relative.

The peaks of many teams are not as high as the lows of He Tianqi's cycle.

But it stands to reason that fans would certainly oppose the loss of key players from a championship team.

After all, even if we don’t recruit new players, we can’t sell them all, right?

Even if you are He Tianqi, fans will still be worried.

However, this year at Villa, almost no fans care about the signings, and no one criticizes He Tianqi.

Because their attention is drawn to bigger things.

That is... Villa is preparing to build a new stadium
Villa's home stadium, Villa Park, is considered quite good in the Premier League, with 40,000 seats.

But for Villa now, it is no longer enough.

There is no way, Villa’s record is too hot.

Moreover, this stadium was built hundreds of years ago and has been patched up for three years, so many parts of it can no longer be repaired.

What He Tianqi needs is a modern stadium, which cannot be achieved through renovation.

In other words, the cost of renovation is even higher than that of new construction.

However, the various approval procedures for new stadiums are very cumbersome, and it is almost impossible for ordinary clubs to build a new stadium.

Europe and the United States have always been very down-to-earth when it comes to not doing anything about it.

The UK HS2 high-speed rail project was initially estimated at 1060 billion pounds, but the final budget soared to billion pounds, equivalent to more than billion yuan, which is more than times the cost of China's high-speed rail.

The plan itself was discussed for seven years after it was proposed, and World War II was almost over.

After that, it was built for seven years. Despite interference from various non-corruption organizations such as corruption, environmental protection, and human rights, a total of 30 kilometers were built, and the total length of this high-speed railway is 531 kilometers.

On the other side of Asia (yes, Europe will eventually become part of Asia), the Dongda Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway cost 230 billion pounds in three years and was built for 1318 kilometers.

Only the California Railway in the United States is less efficient than the UK's HS2 high-speed rail.

As for the stadium, Tottenham proposed the idea in 2007, submitted planning permission in 2009, finalized the plan in 2012, officially started construction in 2015, and was completed in 2019, taking eighteen years.

Therefore, it is not an easy task for Villa to build a new stadium, at least it is difficult to get the project started.

however……

With the support of Villa's fan group headed by the English royal family, Villa's new stadium plan was actually passed smoothly.

Instead of spending seven years discussing it, we entered the operational stage as quickly as possible.

Although Birmingham officials made some planning requirements, wanting to build a new city based on Villa's new stadium, they did not make other aspects difficult.

After all, European politics has become a show, with public opinion and political intentions being swept up by emotions, and the current public sentiment is "satisfy Villa because they won the Champions League"!
There is no doubt that getting closer to Villa will easily win the support of Villa fans, and this group of fans plays an important role in England's political and economic system.

The stadium has not yet been named and is expected to take four years to build, but there is a possibility that it could be completed ahead of schedule.

Because the specific contractor is Zhongjian Third Bureau.

As the budget was very low, the deal was not very profitable and major European real estate groups did not get involved.

Zhongjian Third Engineering Bureau undertook this project mainly in the hope of demonstrating the current infrastructure strength of Southeast University to the world, thereby promoting Southeast University's global infrastructure strategy.

If you tell your old brothers in Africa how good I am every week, it is hard for them to believe you and it requires huge communication costs.

But if you have a successful case in Europe, which is the center of the world in their minds, they will be much more receptive.

This is also what the UAE and Qatar have always wanted to do. Establishing a dialogue window with the Western mainstream world through football clubs is not only to let people know that there is such a place in the world, but also to break down stereotypes and let the world know what we are good at.

However, these two Middle Eastern tycoons spent billions of euros to no avail, while Villa made a net profit of 200 million euros, which was a remarkable result.

This once again proves that in the Western world, strength is the foundation of everything, and kindness is a high-level quality that they cannot perceive.

Just slap him in the face and that’s it!

Of course, Florentino is also involved in this project. He is the special consultant for this project and is responsible for helping with details beyond construction.

If nothing unexpected happens, Villa will be able to play in the new stadium in four years.

The reason why the name of the stadium was decided four years later was because He Tianqi was confident that in four years Birmingham fans would take the initiative to call the stadium "Apocalypse Stadium".

This also inspired Florentino.

The more you want to rename the Bernabéu Stadium as the Florentino Stadium, the more you should not express this tendency when the project is launched.

The first thing to do is to give the stadium a new look.

Then bring success to Real Madrid.

After that, you have to be reluctant but also give in, and then pull it off.

Finally, all you need to do is wait a year or two, give the media some money, and with the media hype, everything will fall into place.
