If you want to talk about what Fang Jue hates the most now, it is the African Cup.

Premier League teams use African players second only to the Ligue 1, but Ligue 1 has a winter break of at least about two weeks. Therefore, for Ligue 1 teams, the impact is not that big. The biggest impact is that there is no winter break. Instead, the Premier League, which has the most intense competitions during the Christmas holiday to the New Year's Day holiday.

Especially in some relegation teams, the proportion of African players is relatively high.

During almost every African Cup, some teams were affected and even eventually relegated.

What made Fang Jue very angry was that there was the African Cup in 2012 and last year, and there was the African Cup this year, which never ended:

The African Football Association announced that the African Cup will be changed to odd years, because considering that if the next African Cup is held in 2015, it will be three years later, which is not possible. So, 2013 will simply be the "first" African Cup after the "odd years" reform.

At that time, when the African Football Association announced the news of the 2013 African Cup in South Africa, the Premier League was full of criticism.

Aston Villa has only one African player in the team, and is one of the teams with fewer African players among the Premier League teams.

However, Fang Jue still has a headache and scolds people.

After returning from injury, Mane has been in very good shape recently, and can even be said to be one of the best players in Aston Villa.

...

Mane is both happy and worried about going to South Africa to play the African Cup.

The simple young man is happy to serve the country.

However, he was also worried about his position as the main player in Aston Villa.

During the period when he was injured, De Bruyne seized the opportunity and obtained the main position, and performed quite well.

When Mane returned from injury, De Bruyne was injured. The Senegalese young man also reminded Fang Jue in his excellent condition that he was very good.

Now, Mane is going to play in the African Cup, and De Bruyne has returned from injury, and has a very beautiful direct free kick in the semi-finals of the League Cup.

This made Mane distressed, and he was worried that his job would not be secured.

Assistant coach Werner reported to Fang Jue that the Senegalese boy has been a little worried these days.

Fang Jue found Mane to talk, and Sadio Mane expressed his concerns.

This kid!

Fang Jue almost laughed out loud. This kid is still the same as before. Fang Jue still remembers that when he was in Ibiza, he saw this kid for the first time. Mane drank a bottle of water in the hotel. He was very worried. He didn't know if he would charge an extra fee. Later, the kid was injured and was in a bad state. However, he didn't dare to tell the coach that he was afraid that he would be abandoned and lose his job when he was injured.

...

Fang Jue didn't say much.

The next day, he called Mane to the office and took out a contract extension.

"Sadio, sign."

Mane did not sign, and the boy called his agent, Ms. Marina Mendez, and sent her the contract.

Marina quickly replied, saying that there is no problem and she can sign it.

Mane still did not sign. The boy read the contract carefully and touched it for about half an hour before he picked up the pen to sign.

"Can you understand?" Fang Jue asked.

"I can't understand." Mane smiled silly, touched the back of his head, and said, "I just feel relieved after reading it so seriously."

"I signed it, renew the contract, don't worry." Fang Jue said angrily.

"Don't worry." Mane laughed.

"Get out." Fang Jue cursed, "Remember, I don't want you to come back from injury in the African Cup."

"Remember." As Mane spoke, he carefully packed his contract and put it in his bag.

Fang Jue later heard that Mane, who had always chosen to practice more after training, did not practice more this day, and the kid was worried that the contract would be lost. As soon as the training was over, he quickly returned to his residence and locked the contract into his own safe.

It is said that the most valuable "furniture" in Mane's house is this safe, which is customized by this kid for a very high price.

...

Subsequently, Aston Villa Club officially announced the renewal of the contract with the club's Senegal offensive player Sadio Mane.

Mane's contract was extended to June 30, 2017.

In the new contract, Mane's salary increased from £38,000 to £50,000 per week, officially entering the ranks of Aston Villa's high salary.

After signing the new contract, he felt at ease. Mane then left Birmingham and went to South Africa to meet with the Senegal national team.

Belgian young player De Bruyne was also officially announced to renew his contract with Mane.

A year and a half ago, De Bruyne received a weekly salary of £15,000 after joining Aston Villa.

This salary obviously cannot match the current contribution this Belgian young player has made to the team and his abilities.

In the new contract, De Bruyne's salary doubled, increasing to £30,000 a week.

On January 19, the 23rd round of the Premier League.

There are many highlights in this round of the league.

Tottenham Hotspur 5th place in the league faces second Manchester United at home.

The fourth place in the league, Chelsea faces seventh place Arsenal at home.

Aston Villa will also visit Hawthorn Stadium, facing West Bromwich, who performed well this season away.

In this game, Aston Villa defeated West Bromwich 2-0 away.

Brazilian central defender Thiago Silva took advantage of a corner kick and headed the ball to score.

Ha Mei assisted Lewandowski to score a goal that secured the victory.

...

However, the game process was not as smooth as the score showed.

After the game, the media praised West Bromwich, who was at home for playing very tenaciously.

However, in Fang Jue's opinion, West Bromwich was kicking dirty.

Ha Mei, who performed well today, was injured by Oden Wenjie in the game.

If the team doctor hadn't told Fang Jue after initially insisting that Ha Mei had no big problem and would have been fine after more than a week of cultivation, Fang Jue would really have fired at West Bromwich.

In the Premier League, several teams have always been known for their fierce style, including West Bromwich and Reading.

The next night, Fang Jue invited Mendes to have coffee and discussed Ha Mei’s contract renewal.

In the summer of 2011, Aston Villa signed Ha Mei, but because he could not get a labor certificate, he had to rent the Colombian boy out.

Last summer, Ha Mei returned on loan, and Aston Villa helped Ha Mei get a labor certificate through the "Special Genius Terms Hearing".

The Colombian boy who returned to the team received a weekly salary of £20,000.

As an important rotation player last season, Ha Mei scored 14 goals for Aston Villa in various competitions and had 16 assists.

Especially in the Champions League, the Colombian boy performed well, with 5 goals and 6 assists.

After Bale left this season, Ha Mei became Aston Villa's main player.

He has scored 7 goals and 6 assists for Aston Villa in all competitions.

It is indeed inappropriate to continue to earn a weekly salary of 20,000 pounds with such performance, and the outstanding performance of the Colombian boy has attracted the attention of other giant teams.

...

The contract renewal negotiations between Aston Villa Club and Ha Mei have been in progress for some time.

Mendes is currently insisting on asking for a weekly salary of £50,000.

Fang Jue said that he could only give a weekly salary of 40,000 pounds.

Speaking of this, both sides already have a good idea:

If there are no unexpected situations, the two sides may eventually reach an agreement on a weekly salary of £45,000.

This is the amount of salary Modric has received in Assad Villa at present.

Of course, Modric has not completed the renewal with Aston Villa. What is certain is that the salary amount on the new contract of Croatians will definitely increase significantly.

At this time, Marina brought her son in.

"Hi, San Diego, come to my grandfather." Mendes immediately greeted his grandson happily.

But the little guy came over first and kissed Fang Jue on the face. Fang Jue asked happily, "Do you miss dad?"

Mendes's face was very bad. He knew what the truth was, but he was invisible and saw this scene with his own eyes. For an old father, the desire to hit someone was uncontrollable.

"I am the godfather of Santiago." Fang Jue forced his explanation.

It would be fine if this was not explained, but after explaining, Mendes became even more angry.

However, the little guy shouted "Grandpa" at Mendes, and no matter how angry he was, he could only disappear (forced suppression).

Mendes quickly said goodbye and left. He was worried that he would get angry if he would continue to stay there. He glanced at his daughter's big belly, and he was even more angry and itchy.

Of course, it was also to avoid embarrassment, because after a while, Papa came to meet with his son.
