Football giants

Chapter 202 Questioning hand

Regarding the bet with Abramovich, Yang Huan really didn't take it very seriously.

Neither Matic nor Sturridge is the type who can fight. Their arrival at most is to enrich the thickness of Southampton's lineup and contribute to the team's multi-line battle next season.

Manchester United, which has reached the FA Cup final, has won the Premier League title and will enter the UEFA Champions League next season.

According to the rules, Southampton, who also reached the FA Cup final, will participate in the Europa League next season.

This is undoubtedly a very attractive opportunity for Southampton.

For the top giants, the Europa League may be tasteless, there are not many prize money, but there are many games.

But for Southampton, this is a rare opportunity to show their own strength and club influence.

Next season's English Championship, League Cup, FA Cup, and Europa League will be fought on four fronts, and the competition tasks will be very stressful.

Therefore, it is imperative for the team to further expand the lineup this summer.

Even without Matic and Sturridge, Yang Huan can definitely introduce other players to achieve his goal.

Relatively speaking, Yang Huan is most concerned about the FA Cup!

Southampton need a trophy!
After a year of hard work, players also need a championship trophy!
It is rare to kill Manchester United after killing Premier League giants such as Arsenal and Chelsea successively. This will greatly improve the morale and fighting spirit of everyone in Southampton.

Therefore, Yang Huan wanted to win this game, but not just for this bet.

After stepping down from the royal box, Yang Huan took the elevator directly to the dressing room passage below the stands.

As soon as he walked out of the elevator and passed the corner, he happened to see the referee team walking off the court.

Walking in the front is Martin Atkinson, a maniac who is famous in English football.

This international-level referee is very strict in law enforcement, but many people jokingly call him a Chelsea fan, because the Blues basically won all the Chelsea games he was law enforcement.

As the name suggests, even when Martin Atkinson walks off the court, he always has a straight face, very serious.

Even if they saw Yang Huan, they just swept them away without stopping at all.

On the contrary, the assistant referees following Martin Atkinson all nodded and greeted Yang Huan with a smile.

However, none of these people stopped, but went straight to the referee lounge.

"It looks familiar, who is it?" Yang Huan was a little puzzled.

But there are so many referees in England, how can he remember who is with whom?
After walking outside the south locker room, Yang Huan didn't hear any movement inside.

It can be guessed that the people inside should be very depressed at this time.

Southampton has played so far, really there is no way to blame who lost the ball?
The characteristics of Strowman and Vidal have always been like this. They have never been the kind of traditional midfielders who can stand up.

To be honest, when the team played against Chelsea last time, the problem of the midfielder had already been exposed.

If Ferguson, an old fox, doesn't take advantage of it, then he's been fooling around for so many years.

If you really want to be held accountable, you have to catch up to the beginning of the season. After Mascherano switched to Barcelona, ​​Yang Huan failed to introduce a high-level midfielder for the team in time to meet the team's tactical needs.

This also made Yang Huan make up his mind. No matter what the price is this summer, he must introduce a high-level midfielder to fill the weakness in the team's tactical puzzle.

Yang Huan stood outside the door, hesitated for a while, raised his hand, and gently knocked on the door of the dressing room.

Knock~knock~knock~
In the originally silent locker room, when they heard the knock on the door, everyone immediately looked over.

Luis Borini went to open the door and was surprised to find the boss standing outside.

"Master Huan, why are you here?"

Yang Huan's sudden appearance made everyone in the locker room stand up.

"Master Huan!"

"Master Huan, good!"

The players greeted Yang Huan in a disorganized manner.

"Sit down!" Yang Huan stretched out his hand to signal the players to sit down.

Players looked at me and I looked at you, hesitated for a while, and sat down under Yang Huan's urging.

"I have no other intentions, just to come and see everyone!"

Yang Huan smiled and walked among the players. He rarely came to the locker room because he felt that this was not where he should be.

Even at Stapletwood, Yang Huan paid great attention to maintaining the authority of the coaching staff, especially the head coach Bielsa.

So, he looked at Bielsa, "Can I have a few words with them?"

Bielsa knew that Yang Huan respected him, so of course he wouldn't say no, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

"I know that everyone cared about me before. Although the matter has been resolved, I still want to apologize to everyone."

As he said that, Yang Huan really bowed his head at the players, as if apologizing.

"Master Huan!" The players immediately stood up again.

Yang Huan stretched out his hand again, motioning them all to sit down, have a good rest, and don't move.

"I promised, I said, my responsibility is to let all the players who joined Southampton play with peace of mind. I feel ashamed that this happened this time, but I promise there will be no next time!"

He couldn't believe it anymore. After what happened this time, the company can be said to be in a state of collapse.

In the future, other underground gangs will have to weigh their own weight if they want to attack Southampton.

"Your job is to win games in football and it's my job to make sure you play football."

After hearing this, the players kept nodding their heads. This was indeed an agreement and tacit understanding between Yang Huan and the team.

But Yang Huan's words made them all clearly understand their responsibilities once again.

That's kicking the ball and winning the game!
"Specifically, I don't understand the tactical level, but I want to say one more thing, don't give up, the game has just begun!"

Yang Huan smiled, "Just now in the stands, the owner of Chelsea, Roman Abramovich, said that after conceding a goal, our odds on William Hill have been blown out, and everyone is not optimistic about us. Even Abramovich said that if we win, he will let us pick a star from his team for free and pay him back."

The players were in an uproar when they heard this.

Is this Abramovich Kyle?

But soon, they realized one after another that he was not Kaizi, but looked down on Southampton!
He thinks that after falling behind by one goal, it is impossible for Southampton to win!

This annoyed and angered everyone present.

"I guess, Ferguson must be laughing now, and many media must have already thought about what to write on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper!"

When Yang Huan said this, he shook his head, "But I still believe in you, don't give up, the game has just begun!"

After speaking, Yang Huan nodded to Bielsa, then turned and walked out of the locker room.

During the whole process, Yang Huan didn't say much, and he didn't make any passionate remarks.

But he ignited a raging fire in the hearts of every player in the locker room.

Do you still remember those eloquent words you said yesterday when you were interviewed by the Southern Echo?
Do you still remember Haikou who boasted in the interview with BBC TV before the game?
Remember the expressions of those media reporters sitting in the stands, waiting to see Southampton jokes anytime, anywhere?
Also, those Saints fans in the stands who are eager to see the team win, they haven't given up yet, have they?
Ibrahimovic sat in his seat, looked up at the door of the locker room, his eyes seemed to be breathing fire.

What he hates the most is being looked down upon.

However, some people look down on him now!
He was unwilling and unable to accept it, so he wanted to fight back!

Just how many teammates have the same thoughts as him?

Never mind!
Ibrahimovic suddenly stood up straight and looked around at his teammates.

"Damn it, we chanted nicely before the game, but in the game, did we try our best?"

The Swedish center's question made the other ten players present ask themselves.

Are you really doing your best?
"I don't care, this game can't be won, what face do we have to go back to Southampton? We said so much before, it was all bullshit, we did so much before, it's all fucking useless?"

Ibrahimovic's words made other players seem to rekindle their hopes.

"Master Huan is right. The game is not over yet. As long as we don't give up, there is still hope!" Captain Adam Lallana also stood up to boost the morale of the team.

"That's right!" Vidal also stood up, "I am responsible for the conceded goal in the first half, and I will definitely get it back in the second half!"

Strowman also stood up and patted Vidal on the shoulder, "I am also responsible, we will fight side by side!"

"Yes, as long as we work together, there is nothing we can't do!"

"We can kill Arsenal, we can kill Chelsea, we can kill Manchester United now!"

"Well said, kill Manchester United!"

"Fuck them to death, fight with them!"

Bielsa and Luis Borini were greatly encouraged when they heard the passionate words of the players.

On a tactical level, there is actually a limit to what they can do.

Southampton's Achilles heel is obvious, and Manchester United's weakness is equally clear.

Therefore, to some extent, it is no longer a tactical duel.

Because everyone knows the basics and is very familiar with each other.

What is tested now is morale and fighting spirit, who can persevere to the end.

In such a final, mental strength is more important than tactics and strength!
…………

…………

After a 15-minute break, the opponents returned to the field of play.

In the stands, Southampton fans and Manchester United fans are still relentlessly fighting for the dominance of the stands.

Although the scene was at a disadvantage, the Southampton fans did not lose to Manchester United in terms of momentum.

On the contrary, because the team is behind, the fighting spirit of the fans is even more high-spirited.

When Yang Huan returned to the royal box, he happened to hear Wilkinson and Prince William sitting in the back row discussing the trend of the game.

The opinion of England's venerable coach is that Southampton is in a bad situation, but there is still a chance.

"How long the midfield combination of Scholes and Carrick can last is a question."

Wilkinson's view can be described as hitting the nail on the head.

"If you want to change, who to change is also a problem!"

"Another point is that Manchester United's counterattack is indeed very threatening, but Bielsa will definitely make targeted adjustments in the second half. Once the counterattack is contained, how will the offensive position be played? Hernandez alone will not work at the front!"

Wilkinson's eyes were very sharp.

"Southampton's Vidal is not very effective. How to make good use of him, or simply replace him, requires Bielsa to weigh the pros and cons."

"Manchester United is in the middle of the midfield and how to adjust the arrow forwards. This is also a problem."

Having said that, Wilkinson looked at Yang Huan who was sitting beside Princess Kate, and nodded with a slight smile.

"So, the first half is just an appetizer, and the real main course is in the second half!"

In fact, at the beginning of the second half, the two sides fought against each other, and the fight was very fierce.
