The Glory of the Godfather

"The Glory of the Godfather (

Santos's "Four Talents".

Danilo is a right-back. In this position, Aston Villa has no shortage of people.

Felipe Anderson is a winger, and Aston Villa is also talented in this position. You must know that De Bruyne, a young Belgian young man, is still on the bench at any time.

Then there are the most famous Ganso and Neymar.

These two young people were hailed by the Brazilian media as the absolute core of the Brazilian national team for the next ten years.

On August 10, 2010, coaching the Brazilian national team's first game, the current Brazil coach Mano Menezes gave Ganso and Neymar a chance.

In May’s Brazil team, Neymar wore a yellow robe of No. 11, and Ganso appeared in No. 10.

These two numbers are enough to explain everything.

...

"We are not optimistic about Ganso." Aston Villa's head of scouting in South America, Felix, has a relatively clear attitude.

"The reason?" Fang Jue asked.

"He was too slow." Felix said, "Ganso's skills and consciousness are excellent, but he is too slow. We doubt whether he can adapt to fast-paced European football."

"We focused on Ganso's previous game video, especially during the America's Cup in the summer." Another scout Baldi Ali said.

He cited the summer's America's Cup Brazil team's first match and the opponents' draw and subsequent Brazil national team games as examples.

In the past year, Gan Suo has been initialed by some famous media to the giants nearly a hundred times, and his worth has been fired from more than 10 million all the way to 50 million.

Nicknames such as New Kaka, New Zidane, and a genius in 30 years have been constantly added to him.

In the Brazilian frontcourt quartet of the America’s Cup, all three of them had staged gorgeous performances. Pato has a terrifying destructive power. Neymar is relatively unique and likes to play with flowers, but he still kicked out in some moments. The talent of a superstar; Robinho is also more active.

Only Ganso, the proud man in Brazil's No. 10 shirt, can see that he worked very hard, but his performance was rather mediocre.

"The problem with Ganso is that he is too'slow'," Felix said. "Ganso is slow, slow, and slow."

...

Fang Jue nodded in recognition, which is why he is not very optimistic about the new Santos star and the new No. 10 of the Brazilian national team.

It's okay to be slow. After all, today's football can run as fast as Kaka and can play the ball as fast as Sneijder. After all, there are few modern midfielders.

Most classic midfielders run the team by controlling the rhythm.

But the problem is that if Aston Villa introduces Ganso, Ganso's "slow" will be in sharp contrast with the "fast" of players such as Bell, Mane and De Bruyne.

Fang Jue's Aston Villa is known for its fast pace, and the players can find each other in the same rhythm.

Ganso is almost superfluous to such a team.

Fang Jue can be sure that such a player, no matter how good his skills and consciousness are, is useless, because he can't keep up with the fast pace of the team.

After talking about Ganso, finally talking about Neymar.

Neither Felix nor Baldiari praised Neymar.

Both the head and deputy heads of the scouts recognized Neymar's football talent.

However, the two also have certain doubts about Neymar's ability to adapt to European football, which is different from Ganso's slow pace.

Felix thinks Neymar is too ego, such players generally have problems with discipline.

Baldi Ali said that signing Neymar is very risky. His reason is, "There are many Brazilians with good skills and good footwork. However, to be truly successful in Europe and grow into a top star requires more than just technology. And awareness, more effort and discipline are needed."

He also compared Neymar with Denilsen, who had high hopes at the time.

However, Baldi Ali also said that Neymar now reminds him of Ronaldo when he first arrived at Manchester United. At that time, Ronaldo was also very self-conscious. However, Ronaldo later succeeded under Ferguson's training.

"If we sign Neymar, he can be fortunate to grow under your boss, his chances of success will be doubled, which is also his luck." Baldi Ali said.

Well, Felix, the head of the scout team, glanced at his assistant...

...

Aston Villa’s South American scout team is most optimistic about Neymar, but they also expressed doubts about signing Neymar.

Everyone is very skeptical about whether this Brazilian teenager who loves to play with his feet can realize his talent.

Under such circumstances, Fang Jue gave his comment:

Neymar is very good. If this guy develops smoothly, it will be another Bell, impacting the status of Messi and Ronaldo.

Whether it was the scout team or the other senior leaders of the club, they were shocked by Fang Jue's judgment.

It's not that they didn't believe Fang Jue's eyesight, but this judgment could not help shocking them.

In the end, Fang Jue directly decided, and the team tried to contact Brazil to see the possibility of introducing Neymar.

Fang Jue's confidence and grasp of the team's introduction of Neymar can only be said to be relatively average, not as confident as before.

This is because as far as he knows, Barcelona has been following Neymar, and must have had contact with Brazil, and may even have reached some agreements.

There is another reason.

Aston Villa has obtained the news that only part of Neymar’s ownership belongs to the Santos Club, and the other part belongs to the brokerage company behind Neymar.

This is the most troublesome situation when European teams introduce South American players.

This is related to the very special ownership of players in Brazilian football.

The vast majority of Brazilian players will be bought most of the ownership by a brokerage company when they are very young.

In order to lock in revenue as soon as possible, clubs are generally willing to do this kind of business.

To some extent, this type of transaction is like a "rock gambling."

In other words, Aston Villa wants to introduce Neymar, in addition to negotiating with the Santos club, the most important thing is to negotiate with the brokerage company behind Neymar.

And as usual, European teams introduce such players with complex ownership, and the transfer fees that are eventually paid to the club where the players are located account for only part of the transaction. Instead, the biggest one is the fee to be paid to the agency.

Of course, everything has to be discussed, and only after discussing what the situation is.

...

December 17, 2011.

morning.

All Aston Villa players and members of the coaching staff were invited to the top of the hotel where they were staying. The team took a group photo with some of the hotel executives and hotel staff.

Aston Villa stayed at the hotel during the Club World Cup in Yokohama's Royal Park Hotel, located in Yokohama Landmark Tower.

The hotel is 295.8 meters high. Looking from the top of Mount Fuji, it is one of the landmark buildings in Japan and the second tallest building in Japan.

The hotel was built in 1993 and has 70 floors in total. It has one of the fastest elevators in the world. It only takes 43 seconds to go from the 0th floor to the 70th floor.

This hotel is also the hotel often chosen by the Champions League champions participating in the World Club Cup, and it is also the official partner hotel recommended by FIFA.

Tomorrow is the final of the Club World Cup. After playing this game, Aston Villa will leave Tokyo and return to Birmingham.

Therefore, Fang Jue gave the team a half-day holiday, and then the Aston Villa team wandered around the hotel and took photos.

Enthusiastic Japanese fans waited in Aston Villa jerseys with the names of Bell, Suarez, Modric, Clement, Ronaldo and others, calling out the names of their favorite players.

Bell, Modric and others left many signatures to Japanese fans.

Later, there were too many fans, they could only apologize to the fans, and declined the request to continue to sign.

At this time, Fang Jue and the club executives stayed in the large conference room on the 69th floor of the hotel for a meeting.

The participants of the talks include representatives of Yokohama Tire and Nissin, who are already cooperating with Aston Villa, as well as representatives of several companies that are currently negotiating cooperation with Aston Villa.

In addition, there are official representatives of the Japanese Football Association participating. Of course, this is an instrumental man who is just attending to represent the official participation. In fact, there is no weight in speaking, and no one will really care.

This meeting was initiated by the Japanese side.

Prior to this, Aston Villa took advantage of the opportunity of the Club World Cup, and negotiations on endorsement cooperation with several Japanese companies did not go smoothly, and the two sides could not reach a consensus on endorsement fees.

Under such circumstances, these Japanese companies and the Japan Football Association have negotiated and put forward a constructive opinion.

If Aston Villa is willing to sign a Japanese international, the endorsement fee is easy to say.

...

The Japanese players who can be introduced by these Japanese companies and the Football Association are naturally carefully selected.

Moreover, behind each player there are different company recommendations.

For example, the famous Japanese beverage brand Coromy and Japan's leading engine manufacturer Yanmar jointly recommended Shinji Kagawa, a young Japanese international who currently plays for Dortmund.

Kolamei is one of the most famous beverage brands in Japan. Founded in 1899, they have completely become one of the most famous beverages in the world with tomato juice drinks. They are now in a leading position in the Japanese beverage industry, and the **** in the Chinese market is Colamei and Coca-Cola collaborated.

Yanmar is not only the flagship of Japan, but also famous in the world. It has a market share of more than 60% in the world of sailing engines. Globally, more than half of the small diesel engines used in construction machinery are produced by Yanmar. After achieving perfect achievements in the power field, they also set foot in the football field.

The Osaka Sakura Club is a club created by Yanmar.

Yokohama Tire, which has already cooperated with Aston Villa, recommended Kashiwa Helios right back Hiroki Sakai.

Nissin recommended the Japanese script Tian Keisuke who currently plays for CSKA Moscow.

Japanese companies hope to have a Japanese international to join the European championship team, and then hope to expand their influence in the world through Aston Villa and this Japanese international.

Aston Villa has not only won sky-high commercial contracts, but also expanded its influence in Japan.

In theory, this is a win-win situation.

What Fang Jue has to consider is that one of these players recommended by the other party can help Aston Villa.

He hopes to achieve a win-win situation for both competitive and commercial values.

Speaking of this, Fang Jue is about to complain about his old friend Wenger. The professor also wants to develop the Asian market. He has signed a number of Japanese and Korean players before.

In the 2001 season, Wenger first bought the Japanese player Junichi Inamoto. In the star-studded Arsenal team, Junichi Inamoto did not get a chance to play.

Since you can't get the game, you can only be rented out.

Subsequently, Inamoto Junichi was rented to Fulham by Arsenal and performed well, and then resold to West Bromwich Albion, Cardiff City, Galata Serre, Frankfurt and other teams.

In general, it is okay. Inamoto Junichi, who left Arsenal, has made a big break in Europe.

then……

Just this year, Arsenal bought South Korea’s "national treasure" Park Joo-young, known as the No. 1 player in South Korea and has grown into a "core player" in Monaco.

Although he is very successful in the Monaco team, he has been at Arsenal for more than half a year so far and has not won even a minute of playing time.

Arsenal also bought another Asian player, Ryo Miyaichi, known as a Japanese genius boy. In order to obtain the qualifications of a British player, the team rented out Miyaichi Ryo.

The situation of Park Zhouyong and Miyaichi Ryo, especially the latter, is that it is difficult to gain a foothold in Arsenal. Therefore, Japanese companies are very stingy. Arsenal did not rely on these signings from Japanese companies. There are too many commercial gains.

In view of this, Fang Jue considered very clearly that if he could sign a good Japanese player, he would at least be able to play a substitute role and provide help to the team.

Under this circumstance, the Japanese are also happy to pay for the sponsorship.

...

Fang Jue sometimes lamented that the practices of these Japanese companies are really worth pondering:

They are willing to share the player's transfer fee, share the player's salary expenses, and at the same time will come up with the expensive commercial sponsorship expenses that satisfy Aston Villa.

Of course, this kind of sponsorship cooperation belongs to the scope of normal cooperation.

However, after all, it is the endorsement fee that would be much more under normal circumstances.

The purpose is to help Japanese players go out, gain more development opportunities and growth space, and then promote the development of Japanese football.

Of course, in this one, they can also increase the influence of corporate brands in the world along with the influence of these Japanese internationals.

However, this behavior itself is already worth pondering.

In the end, Fang Jue chose to agree to sign Dortmund's Japanese international Kagawa Shinji.

It's not just that Shinji Kagawa's reputation and influence are the largest of these three places.

Also because the players have already played in Dortmund and have a relatively good performance, they are more adapted to the rhythm of European football.

Most importantly, the recommended companies behind Kagawa Shinji, Coromy and Yanmar, and two Japanese brands have the highest bids.

Aston Villa did some calculations here, and just based on the total endorsement fee of the three-year contract, Aston Villa has been able to get almost 10 million pounds more from these brands.

Of course, this also shows that Shinji Kagawa is currently the most optimistic player in Japan, and there are the most Japanese companies behind the players that support him.

...

Aston Villa and Japan reached a consensus that the Aston Villa club seeks to sign Dortmund's Japanese international Kagawa Shinji. Many Japanese companies are willing to jointly bear half of the transfer fee required to introduce Kagawa Shinji.

At the same time, these companies jointly funded and assumed part of Kagawa Shinji's salary (up to 45 percent).

It is now possible to sign the pre-contract first. Once Aston Villa officially signs Kagawa Shinji, brands including Coromie, Yanmar and Nippon Telecom will perform the contract and formally sign a commercial sponsorship agreement with Aston Villa to complete each Payment of endorsements and sponsorship payments.

In addition, even brands such as Yokohama Tire and Nissin Cup Noodles, whose recommended players have not been adopted, also expressed that they would consider increasing the follow-up sponsorship fee for Aston Villa.

There is only one requirement. Aston Villa head coach Fang Jue gives players as much playing time as possible.

Fang Jue refused to accept the other party's stipulation in the contract on the minimum number of games and time limit.

However, the Japanese side is also very interesting, they immediately thought of a trick:

If a player has played 20 games in the season (regardless of starting or substitute, the total playing time cannot be less than 500 minutes) or the cumulative playing time is less than 20 games, but the total time reaches 600 minutes, they are willing to pay an extra percent Ten to 15% of sponsorship fees.

This is also the reason why Fang Jue chose Kagawa Shinji. With his well-known perspective, this player has the best talent and good strength. He can help the team and bring more benefits.

In this way, one of their players has been arranged clearly while Dortmund is still ignorant of this ~www.wuxiaspot.com~.

...

The hotel where the Santos team stayed.

The club opened a separate suite for Neymar. It stands to reason that this is not in compliance. However, this is a strong request from Neymar's father and Santos can only accept it.

"Son, I’m telling you a good news. There is someone from Barcelona. They will be there to watch tomorrow’s final." The old Neymar smiled. commission."

"There must be other good news." Neymar said, keeping in touch with Barcelona, ​​if it was just this matter, his father would not be so excited.

"Smart!" Old Neymar gave his son a thumbs up, "Aston Villa contacted me, and he wants you too."

"This is a good thing!"

"If Vera comes to compete with Barcelona, ​​we can get more!" Old Neymar looked excited. He noticed a hint of joy and pride in his son's eyes when he heard Aston Villa look at him.

"Haha, happy? That Fang Jue of Vera is all about my son, indicating that you are a real genius." The old Neymar patted his son on the shoulder, "You will be better than Messi and Ronaldo. !"

"Son, you have to play the game against Aston Villa tomorrow." Old Neymar cheered up for his son, "I better help Santos kill Aston Villa!"

"In this way, we will have more confidence to make a price." The old Neymar waved his arm. "The real super genius is priceless! Of course, we must show greater sincerity."
