On July 5, Aston Villa conducted open training at the Beijing Workers' Sports Department.

This was just an open training class, which attracted tens of thousands of fans to watch on the spot, and the atmosphere was very lively.

On this day, the Barcelona Club officially announced that the team introduced the 5-year-old Premier League Golden Boot from Aston Villa Club for a transfer fee of 9 million euros (75.5 million pounds). Uruguayan star Luis Alberto Suarez Dias. Both sides have signed a contract for five years. Barcelona warmly welcomed the great offensive player to join.

Aston Villa Club later issued an announcement confirming the transfer, thanking Suarez for his contributions during his time at Aston Villa, and wishing the Uruguayans good luck in the future.

Suarez himself also spoke on his personal website and announced his departure, and wrote a letter to the Aston Villa fans to say goodbye. The Uruguayan said that he would always support Aston Villa and thank the enthusiastic Aston Villa fans.

World football was shocked.

After selling Bale to Real Madrid for 100 million pounds, Aston Villa actually sold Suarez to Barcelona for 75.5 million pounds.

...

Some media used the title ‘Aston Villa Supermarket?’.

"Milan Sports" stated that when Milan fans around the world were angry about the departure of Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva, Aston Villa, who introduced these two players, was even more excessive. The departure of Bale and Suarez, to some extent, can be seen that Aston Villa has no ambition and their depravity has become more thorough...

The British "Guardian" also criticized Aston Villa for selling Bale and Suarez in succession. The newspaper believed that Aston Villa's behavior of selling stars one after another in order to build a new stadium is stupid. 'We can foresee that Aston Villa will fall faster than Arsenal!'

Fang Jue's old friend Tony Parker even opened a column to talk about Aston Villa's transfer situation.

"I sold De Gea and introduced Ter Stegen. What can Ter Stegen do? He can't do anything. This is an inexperienced young man..."

"If the change in the goalkeeper's position is just a small mistake, then the departure of Bale and Suarez fully demonstrates Fang Jue's stupidity. In his eyes, the players are money. This is a guy with only money in his eyes... He is destroying Aston Villa, Aston Villa fans, you must stand up bravely and drive this guy who cheats the world and steals the name. He will only destroy the great Aston Villa..."

After Bale transferred to Real Madrid, Aston Villa sold Suarez to "cash out" at a high price. The impact of this incident was really too great.

So much so that the news that Aston Villa Club then officially announced that the team introduced Polish scorer Robert Lewandowski to Dortmund for 35.5 million euros (900,000 pounds) did not attract much attention.

"Suarez is very good, I wish him all the best in Barcelona."

"Robert is a very good player. He is competent for Suarez's position after he left. I know him. He is very, very, very good." Fang Jue was interviewed by the media before the match between Aston Villa and Beijing Guoan.

However, the media did not agree with his words, especially in foreign media, the other party felt that his "stupid operation" in this transfer market was criticized.

On the contrary, because Fang Jue mentioned Lewandowski, this actually caused Lewandowski to be burned.

The media that angrily accused Fang Jue of selling Suarez to cash out pointed the finger at Lewandowski, not thinking that the Poles could replace Suarez.

Tony Parker even criticized on his own show, "Can Suarez score 31 goals in one season? What can Lewandowski do? Can he score 20 goals in one season? No! He is just a victim who bought it to block the fans' mouths after Fang Jue sold Suarez."

Fortunately, Tony Parker is still very 'rational'. He knows that Lewandowski scored 4 goals in the Bundesliga last season, and is not a mediocre person who has no ability, so he scored 0, but he didn't dare to say it too low.

...

"Don't pay attention to the media." Fang Jue called Lewandowski, who was worried that his old subordinates would be affected by the media's mean remarks.

"Boss, how many goals do you think I can score?" Lewandowski was in a good mood and seemed not to be influenced by media opinions.

"The more, the better!" Fang Jue said with a smile, "Everyone says that thirty balls are obstacle avoidance for Premier League scorers, but in my opinion, this is not a problem for you. I hope you can break this obstacle avoidance every season because you have such ability! I have always believed it."

"Boss, do you really think so?" Lewandowski was surprised. Of course he had confidence in himself, but Fang Jue said that he could score thirty goals every season, which he dared not think about.

"The only reason I agree to Suarez's departure is because I know that the team can welcome better players!" Fang Jue said. With his relationship with Lewandowski, some words do not need to be avoided.

"I won't let you down, boss!" Lewandowski was moved by Fang Jue's trust and praise. What else could he say was only a determination.

"I have confidence in you." Fang Jue said happily.

Fang Jue was very happy that Lewandowski was able to return to the team. This was the top shooter he trained and a real direct player.

...
