Aston Villa's English local players are just average among the top Premier League teams, not too many, nor too few.

For example, this season, Manchester United's first-team English players even had as many as thirteen.

Arsenal only has five local players in England.

Fang Jue chose English local players mainly for the sake of Aston Villa's development.

Judging from the integration of football culture and the integration of the team, youth training > household registration book > foreign players, it is best if it is youth training + household registration book. This is very high in adaptation to the entire league culture, the degree of recognition, centripetal force and loyalty of the club.

Also, the team has a large number of local players and will also promote the support of more fans.

The two players with similar characteristics and similar strength will definitely have higher net worth than foreign players and are more popular with fans.

Well, a household registration book is important (high value).

Local fans and media also have a higher degree of recognition of resident account players. Generally speaking, if the two players perform similarly, resident account users will be more favored by fans and media.

Of course, the most important thing is that Aston Villa's household registration book number is close to the cordon, otherwise Fang Jue would not have mentioned Elliot Paris of the reserve team as the first team as three goals, which is what it takes.

Fang Jue must put the expansion of the introduction of resident account players on the agenda. No, to be precise, it must be taken into action.

Then, Fang Jue saw the player information provided by the system.

John Stones…

...

Fang Jue picked up the landline microphone at the office and said, "Notify Mr. Cox to come to my office."

"Okay, boss." said the angry female secretary.

Kidd Cox is the scout leader in the Aston Villa club's local area in England.

"Kidd, Barnsley's young centre-back John Stones, talk about this guy," Fang Jue said.

Cox did not answer immediately. He thought about it and sorted out his thoughts, "I have an impression of this guy. Someone has submitted his report, but the scout team is not very optimistic about this guy."

"Why?" Fang Jue frowned and asked.

"Stones is too thin," Cox said, remembering some information about the young man in his mind. "He is very tall, 73 inches (186 cm), but he weighs only 150 pounds (68 kg). Such a body is not capable of fighting."

"Is this the reason why you gave up stalking Stones?" Fang Jue was angry.

"There's another reason," Cox said. "We noticed that this young man likes to stick to the ball and is not decisive in handling the ball. Yes, there are some minor problems, which may not be anything else, but in the center back position, these bad habits are fatal."

As he said that, Cox turned around and pulled the ball to protect the ball.

"I remember in a report submitted by Francisco, Stones turned around and protected the ball in the penalty area three times in one game, which was very dangerous." Cox became more and more excited, and he could naturally see the boss's intention to come to him. The boss is optimistic about Stones.

Fang Jue was optimistic about Stones, but the scout team gave up the player, which was a mistake in the scout team.

Although no scout department can ensure that its vision is always accurate, in fact, the scout department can ensure more than 50% accuracy, which is very awesome.

However, it doesn’t matter if you make a mistake in your work, you just happened to be "catched by your boss" and there is a problem.

However, Cox does not think it was their work mistake. He is a standard technical gull with a low emotional intelligence, which can be said to be a bit stubborn.

Cox does not think that the local scouting department he is responsible for giving up tracking Stones was a wrong decision. The conclusions they came to after analysis and observation are reasonable and well-founded.

"It's not a problem for young people to grow up."

"If you like sticking to balls and are not decisive, these habits can be changed."

"Also, if you like sticking to the ball, it means that the player has good foot skills. He is very confident in his foot skills. Such a player can be trained to be a central defender from the ball."

"Boss, I admit that what you said makes sense," Cox said. "But I still stick to my judgment of this young man."

"Very good, I like your attitude of sticking to your own judgment." Fang Jue nodded.

Cox was surprised, "Boss, aren't you angry?"

"Why am I angry?" Fang Jue smiled and said, "As a technical department, you can stick to your opinions. This is a good thing. As long as you are not perfunctory, but the conclusions drawn after team analysis and discussion, it is a qualified job."

"But, Stones..."

"Stones's business is an exception," Fang Jue said, "This is not your work mistake. If it were someone else, he might be confused by the illusion."

Boss Aston Villa leaned back tactically, "This guy is lucky and I discovered it."

"I'm still not optimistic about Stones," Cox said.

Fang Jue glanced at this guy, are all technical mates emotional intelligence?

"Then let's wait and see." Fang Jue smiled faintly and said confidently.
