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

Chapter 344 Kakakakakaka!

However, Ali is not the only young player who has come to the fore this year. Villa's local youth training has also begun to bear fruit.

Young star Jack Grealish from the echelon was promoted to the first team by He Tianqi.

He was previously in Aston Villa's U23 team, but his actual age is only seventeen. He participated in the English Youth League with the team last year.

Promotions within a club are small matters and normally only some of the team’s fans would pay attention to them. However, Grealish’s promotion has attracted the attention of both the Irish and England national teams.

To be honest, it is mainly the England national team that is causing the trouble.

Grealish has dual British and Irish citizenship. His father is Irish and he has previously been selected for the Irish national youth team.

But now, the head of the England national youth team has received a hint from Southgate and expressed the hope that Grealish can join the England national youth team.

Southgate did not have such authority, but thanks to his connections, his request was met.

The two sides fought fiercely through the media.

Ireland angrily accused the England national team of being predators.

Southgate said Ireland would waste Grealish's ability and that Grealish should shine on a brighter stage.

In the absence of any special feelings, normal people would choose the stronger England national team.

Grealish was no exception, and he was subsequently selected for the England U17 national youth team.

The reason why Southgate did this was not because he was optimistic about Grealish, but because Grealish was a Villa player and was promoted to the first team.

As long as He Tianqi is optimistic, Southgate is optimistic too.

Although he has only been selected for the national youth team and may not necessarily play for the national youth team, as long as he is selected and there is news, Grealish's value will increase and the value of Villa's youth training will become higher and higher.

This is what Southgate is aiming to achieve.

Some people in England think that Southgate has no bottom line and is too flattering to He Tianqi.

Everyone knows that after being spotted by He Tianqi, Grealish’s future is limitless, but hasn’t the new season started yet?

Even De Bruyne had to play as a core player for Villa for two years before becoming a main player of the Belgian team.

It takes some time from being selected to shining.

There is no other explanation for Southgate's move except licking.

Southgate's wife was puzzled by his behavior and thought that he didn't need to bear such a stigma: "Wouldn't it be a natural thing for Grealish to be called into the national youth team after half a season when he becomes famous?"

"Look at you now, the whole internet is scolding you."

Southgate took a sip of the white transparent liquid, his expression was ferocious and his mouth was full of burning sensation.

He pointed at the bottle of liquid with pain and joy and said, "Shixian Pavilion Liquor, a specialty of Jiangyou, Li Bai's hometown. Mr. He Tianqi asked me to bring it to me."

"His family went back to China some time ago and brought back a lot of things."

Southgate's wife looked puzzled.

Southgate explained: "You are right. After half a season, Grealish is likely to be selected for the England national youth team because of his outstanding performance, or even skip to a higher level national youth team."

"In a year, maybe he will be on England's squad for the World Cup in Brazil!"

"But at that time, it wasn't me, Southgate, who chose him, it was him who chose England."

“When everyone thinks something is possible, it no longer needs to be done.”

"He Tianqi's training ability is beyond doubt, so he can only feel my sincerity if I express my absolute trust in him before he even starts training a player."

"There is an old Chinese saying that goes 'the more courtesy, the less blame'. He Tianqi may not be happy about the appreciation of his youth players, but he will definitely not be unhappy about their appreciation."

Southgate's wife nodded, somewhat understanding what her man was doing.

Otherwise, why do people say that he has high emotional intelligence and a wide network of contacts?
The true meaning of flattery is not to follow the trend, but to dare to be the first!

Southgate said mysteriously: "It is not difficult to see from the recent windows that Villa has a very complete player replacement plan, so the appreciation of the Villa product brand must be what He Tianqi wants to see."

"But He Tianqi can't do this. It's a bit beneath his dignity to brag about his own players' worth."

"And now, the media are indeed scolding me, but do you see anyone scolding He Tianqi? Do you see that Grealish's price has been withdrawn?"

"None, right?"

"That's how I got this bottle of Chinese Baijiu from He."

"I got it right!"

"I even suspect that this is one of the reasons why Ho put me as the assistant coach of the England national team!"

Southgate's wife gave thumbs up repeatedly.

Licking or you can lick.

"Oh, right." Southgate remembered something, "This year's summer vacation has been cancelled. I may be busy for a while. I will need you to take care of the family at that time."

Southgate's wife: "Is it the national team's business? It started so early?"

Southgate shook his head: "No. It's Villa's business."

Southgate's wife: ???
Southgate: "What's the big deal about the national team? I understand this system. Everyone is my brother. It doesn't take much energy. This year I am ready to devote myself to Aston Villa and help He Tianqi."

"The England national team's assistant coach is just an empty title. He Tianqi's assistant coach is the real thing."

"Zidane is a tactical talent and aloof. Many things at Villa need people like me to handle."

The king of emotional intelligence, Southgate, is about to come online!

……

At Villa's training ground, two players are chatting enthusiastically.

They all come from Africa.

The former is Mane, and the latter is Villa’s new signing Mohamed Salah, who is known as the “Egyptian Ribery”!

In February this year, the Egyptian Super League was suspended due to the incident in Port Said where many fans were killed.

Egyptian player Salah is seeking a transfer to Europe from Mokaulun.

It happened that Swiss giants Basel organized a friendly match with Egypt U23 to observe Egyptian players.

Salah scored twice to help the team win and earned the qualification for a trial in Basel.

But Villa, who had just won the League Cup, also invited Salah to a trial.

This is Vera!
What other bicycle do you want?

Salah chose Villa without any hesitation.

Villa paid Mokoren a transfer fee of 2.5 million euros, setting a historical transfer record for the team.

Salah's fame has soared in Egypt.

Considering that the former Egyptian Prince Mido achieved the peak performance of his career under He Tianqi, Egyptian fans hope that Salah can become the next Egyptian prince.

Moreover, Salah’s personality is much better than Mido’s. Once he rises, he is likely to become the world’s top striker for a long time. It’s exciting to think about it!

The media in England called Mane and Salah "Villa's black and white duo", "the new trash brothers" and "the African twin wings".

The second nickname is not an insult, but a tribute to Valencia and Ashley Young.

At this point, most of Villa's players were born in the 1990s.

Most of them are even from 1992 or 1993.

The oldest player in the team is Vardy, born in 1987, who is not yet years old this year.

Then came Lewandowski in 88, Albrighton and Azpilicueta in 89.

Only these four were born in the 1980s.

It's simply a super youth storm.

But being too young is not good either. Villa's biggest problem last season was a lack of full-backs, especially left-back Azpilicueta.

So He Tianqi signed a winger from Udinese - Juan Cuadrado.

Born in 1988, he is known as the "Colombian Wang Baoqiang".

During his peak period, he was the best player in Serie A, with fast speed and strong dribbling ability. However, He Tianqi did not hire him to play as a striker, but to play as a full-back or a winger.

In fact, Cuadrado encountered a major denial in his life last season.

He was loaned to Lecce by Udinese, played thirty-three games and scored only three goals.

As a main striker, this is definitely a failing performance.

As a result, he was unable to stay in the team and was about to be loaned to Florence again by Udinese.

But now, He Tianqi has taken action and bought Cuadrado for 2 million euros in full.

The redeemed Cuadrado is not picky and says he is willing to play any position.

The two sides hit it off.

At this point, Villa's signings for this season are basically over.

There are many people selling, but there are even more people replenishing.

I didn't spend much money on miscellaneous items.

This is a very typical model of He Tianqi's signings.

Villa has also started training and played three warm-up matches.

The effect is pretty good, two wins and one loss.

Much better than this time last year.

However, the opponents are not strong and have no reference value.

At the same time, major European teams have entered a state of preparation, and the recruitment of players is on the verge of completion.

Real Madrid's trip to the United States is over and everything went well.

But less than two days after returning to Madrid, bad news came.

Real Madrid superstar Kaka is injured again!

Or the groin!
Real Madrid fans are no longer surprised by this.

"Marca" listed Kaka's injury history in recent years, which is simply shocking.

Since 2009, when He Tianqi left Real Madrid, Kaka has suffered more than fifteen injuries of varying degrees in the past three years.

此前能够稳定为AC米兰和皇马贡献20+10甚至是20+20或30+10数据的他，上上赛季数据断崖式下滑。

Last season, the team was cut in half again.

He also missed many important games due to injuries, including the Champions League match against Aston Villa, which laid the groundwork for Real Madrid's elimination in all competitions.

This caused dissatisfaction among senior management and fans.

The Son of God has fallen from grace.

If Modric's dishes are annoying but controllable, then Kaka's uncontrollable and serious injuries are even more disappointing.

After all, no one has any hope for the former.

The most important thing is that with Kaka around, Real Madrid cannot bring in a super player for the attacking midfielder position.

Because a healthy Kaka is still world-class, and no one is sure to take the starting position away from such a player.

Modric will not affect Real Madrid's signings. After all, even Eriksen is confident that he can replace Modric with Villa's rotation.

Given Kaka's super high salary, it is imperative for Real Madrid to change its midfielder.

Florentino is a very decisive old man. When he realized that Kaka had hindered the development of Real Madrid, he cut the Gordian knot and quickly put Kaka on the shelf.

This is an execution that the Real Madrid fans who criticized Kaka did not expect.

After all, if other decision-makers were to replace him with a player who is extremely popular, has high commercial value, and is extremely capable when healthy, it would probably take another three to five years before they would give up.

But the frustrating thing is that it is not so easy for Real Madrid to get rid of Kaka.

The salary Real Madrid pays Kaka is the highest in the world, almost the same as Modri, Messi and Ronaldo.

No other team can match this super high salary.

Coupled with Real Madrid's commercial development capabilities, Kaka would never be able to get such a high salary in any other team.

If you go to other teams, your salary will be at least halved, or even more.

Of course Kaka didn't want to leave.

And from a competitive perspective, Kaka still believes that he has the ability to fight, he is just troubled by injuries.

When he is not injured, his condition is even slightly better than that of a healthy Ronaldo in the later period of Real Madrid.

As a world-class player, how could he give up easily?

After all, he had never lost completely in his career before!
Real Madrid's issue with Kaka has reached a stalemate.

Hazard: Learn from me, right?

And the worst thing is that Kaka only has one year left on his contract with Real Madrid.

It is impossible to renew the contract with Real Madrid.

Keeping Kaka for a year for nothing is the worst option, because not only will you have to bear such a huge salary, but you will also have to let Kaka go for free next year.

The total loss exceeded 20 million Euros!
Florentino had no choice but to focus on England. He called He Tianqi and said, "He, I have a super player who is at the level of a king of football. Are you interested? The price is only half of the market price!"

He Tianqi was very excited: "This is not a question of interest or not, Perez, in one word, I want it!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo is currently worth 100 million euros, and Messi is worth 120 million euros. According to the half of the market price you mentioned, Ronaldo is only worth 50 million euros... I won't take advantage of you, how about I give him 75 million euros?"

Florentino almost choked to death: "Ahem, that... I'm not talking about Chris, I'm talking about..."

He Tianqi interrupted, "That's strange. Apart from Ronaldo, there shouldn't be any other top-level players in Real Madrid, right? You're not talking about Modric, are you?"

"I admit that I like this player very much, but his current market value is at most 10 million euros, and there is no room for negotiation for a cent more."

Modric: …

Florentino: "No no no, it's Kaka!"

He Tianqi was silent for a while.

Florentino felt something was wrong.

He Tianqi said angrily: "Old man, this is boring. We are all acquaintances. You want to trick me? Just Kaka's groin, even gods can't save it."

"Taking into account his age, if Kaka is still at his peak, his value would be around 70 million euros."

"But a Kaka lying in a hospital bed is not worth a penny!"

"Even if he still has some residual commercial value, his high salary is enough to offset everything."

Florentino was also a little embarrassed, and said frankly: "There is no way, Lu, Kaka is not suitable to stay in Real Madrid, otherwise the team will never find a top midfielder."

"Only you can make Kaka leave."

"You have brought so many championships to Real Madrid, you certainly don't want to see the Galacticos sink, right?"

"Help!"

He Tianqi sighed: "Okay then, 7 million euros, I'll take Kaka."

Florentino almost thought he had heard it wrong: "Seven million euros?"

He Tianqi: "Not selling? Forget it! If you keep Kaka for one year and then let him go for free, Real Madrid will lose more than 20 million Euros. If I buy him now, you will make 7 million Euros. All in all, Real Madrid will make almost 30 million Euros."

"You got 30 million euros back from a 30-year-old Kaka who was full of injuries. Perez, you made a fortune!"

You know what, after the conversion of the "Apocalypse Inequality", Florentino feels much better.

Soon, this last-minute deal shocked the world.

"Global Viewpoint": "The Son of God follows the footsteps of the Pope of Football and arrives in the British Isles! Superstar Kaka joins Aston Villa for 7 million euros!"
