Chapter 357: Hot Goods

"Really? Who is it?"

When Yang Huan heard this, he immediately became excited.

The more he does this job of digging people's corners, the more he finds it more enjoyable.

Especially if you can disgust Abramovich, it will be even more enjoyable.

It's best to make him so angry!

"I heard that Chelsea's technical team has taken a fancy to Tottenham Hotspur's Luka Modric!"

"Modric?" Yang Huan frowned.

This player is very good. If I remember correctly, in his previous life, it seems that he switched to Real Madrid this summer.

After going to La Liga, his performance under Mourinho was quite mediocre at first, but later Ancelotti's performance was eye-catching. Together with Harvey Alonso, he helped Real Madrid win the tenth Champions League. The limelight is very strong.

"There are many teams looking at Modric. Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United have also been eyeing him for a long time."

"Really?" Yang Huan didn't expect that the Croatian midfielder would be so popular.

"However, there is no team bidding for the time being, and they are probably waiting and watching."

Yang Huan nodded, "What about Gareth Bell?"

Tottenham Hotspur have performed well in the Premier League this season, and the top four are expected.

Among them, three players, Gareth Bale, Modric and van der Vaart, contributed greatly.

Especially Gareth Bale, the Welsh winger can be said to be overtaking in a corner, faintly surpassing Rooney and becoming the hottest star in the current Premier League.

"There are many teams looking at Gareth Bale. Manchester United and Real Madrid both want him."

Yang Huan wanted to laugh when he heard that, Manchester United is interested in everyone, but in the end they can't get anyone.

"Oh, by the way, Chelsea have also taken a fancy to Porto's Brazilian striker Hulk."

"Hulk?" Yang Huan immediately remembered.

Many fans in the previous life called him the Hulk Hulk.

As the name suggests, he has a very strong body and is very eye-catching in Porto, especially after the center Falcao switched to Atletico Madrid, Hulk even attacked the team for the Porto striker.

Chelsea have always had the habit of signing from the Portuguese Super League in recent years, so it is not surprising to see Hulk.

Besides, as soon as Drogba and Sturridge transferred, the weakness of Chelsea's shortage of major generals was obvious.

"Then let him!" Yang Huan said with a smile.

When Raiola heard it, he immediately laughed, "Then I will release the news immediately, saying that we will also introduce Hulk!"

"Well, give Abramovich a slap in the face, lest this old boy think I'm easy to bully!"

Yang Huan's philosophy is also very simple, if people run wild on you, don't you dare to fight back?
"Master Huan, what plans does the team have this summer?" Raiola asked with concern.

To say that the current Southampton lineup is indeed strong enough.

Needless to say on the front line, Drogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic occupy the center position. There is no better center forward than them in the world. In addition to Sturridge, there is Mitrovic in the youth training camp.

Southampton's striker can be called top luxury!
For wingers, Neymar, James Rodriguez, Ravel Morrison, and Markovic, who has played several times for the team in the youth team this season, are also quite well equipped.

In the summer, Eden Hazard, who was booked last season, will also come.

At that time, the Saints' wingers were awesome!

Of course, neither Neymar nor Hazard is considered the top for the time being.

But unless Yang Huan intends to bring in Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ribery and Robben, who else in the world is better than Neymar and Hazard?

In the middle, although the combination of Vidal, Stroman and Toni Kroos is accompanied by certain controversies, it is considered stable and has good strength. In addition to Matic, Isco, Pogba, there is also a Kovacic in the youth academy.

Southampton's midfield configuration is also quite powerful.

On the defensive line, although Carvajal and David Alaba are young, they both have two years of professional league experience.

Carvajal's outstanding performance in the Europa League has also attracted the attention of many La Liga teams, including Real Madrid.

Harvey Martinez, Varane, Gary Cahill, Nastasic and Laporte, this central defender configuration is not top-notch, but it fits the characteristics of Southampton.

The double goalkeeper configuration of Neuer and Courtois on the goalkeeper is also top-notch.

In this way, if Southampton really wants to sign up, I am afraid they still have to make a fuss in the midfield.

Yang Huan knows the current situation of the team well.

The team will be promoted to the Premier League next season, and the competition will be more intense.

Having won the League Cup this season, multi-line battles will be indispensable at that time.

Therefore, the stability of the lineup is very important.

Also because of this, the team's signings will be more inclined to strengthen and further technicalize.

This is the goal jointly established by Yang Huan and Bielsa. Southampton must unswervingly go on the road of technology, because this represents the future development trend of the English team.

Thinking of this, Yang Huan sighed.

"For signings, there is no target yet, but there is one for transfer!"

Raiola looked at Yang Huan strangely.

"Well, Schneiderlin submitted a transfer request, and Bielsa and I agreed!"

"Schneiderlin?" Raiola was a little surprised, "Really want to sell?"

This is the star of hope who is well-known in the English league and even in European football.

Most of the fans are familiar with the players through the media, so they may not know them very well.

But people in the football circle have their own channels and judgments.

As a star of hope, Schneiderlin once received invitations from many wealthy teams, but in the end, in order to accumulate game experience, he chose Southampton with better youth training. As a result, he played the main force in Southampton for two seasons.

In the third season, Yang Huan bought the team. Although Vidal, Stroman and other players were introduced later, Schneiderlin was still able to occupy a position in the first team, and even play the main force.

Although there have been mistakes in this process, Schneiderlin's strength and potential are still very optimistic.

But last summer, Southampton made a big effort to strengthen. After the introduction of Toni Kroos and Matic, Schneiderlin completely lost his position and became a substitute for Toni Kroos and Matic. He could only play in some tasteless games occasionally.

But this French midfielder is only 21 years old, and he has at least the strength to gain a firm foothold in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, and even become the main force.

As for potential, at least it is the main force in the middle and upper reaches of the Premier League, and the level of a wealthy substitute player.

But it's such a player, but Southampton said let it go!
This surprised Raiola.

Unknowingly, Southampton's strength and lineup configuration have become so strong that even I am amazed.

Those British reporters are right, Southampton's configuration to play in the British Championship is pure abuse!

Yang Huan also felt it was a pity, but the players desperately wanted more chances to play, and Bielsa couldn't give him that.

Southampton's current signing standard must be at least the rotation level of the giants.

For example, Toni Kroos and Matic a year ago.

As for Schneiderlin, let alone guaranteeing the main position, there is no way to promise even the number of appearances.

In desperation, I can only choose to let go, good for everyone!

"Master Huan, Schneiderlin is a good seed. Once it is released on the transfer market, it will definitely be a hot commodity!"

Yang Huan knew in his heart that Schneiderlin would definitely arouse the interest of the Premier League midstream and even upstream teams including Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.

"Don't worry, no one will rob you, this matter will be left to you!" Yang Huan said with a chuckle.

Only when there is an entry, there is an exit. It is impossible to rot all the players in your hands!

He is used to this.

It can only be said that when Southampton keeps raising its team goals, there will always be some unsuitable players who are forced or voluntarily leave the team. This is the cruelty that professional football must experience.

"Thank you, Master Huan!" Raiola was very happy.

Of course, there is a commission for signings, and there is also a commission for selling people.

Yang Huan is taking care of Raiola's business.

"Okay, let's go watch the ball!"

Yang Huan laughed, "The person visiting tonight is our number one enemy in Southampton!"

…………

…………

The number one mortal enemy Yang Huan mentioned was Portsmouth.

The hatred between the Pompeii Legion and the Saints has a long history, so both sides attach special importance to this game.

When Southampton was in decline, Portsmouth was promoted to the Premier League and it was booming.

But now, Southampton has been promoted back to the British Championship, leading No.2 Reading by more than [-] points. With only ten rounds left in the league, winning the championship is already a certainty, and promotion is only a matter of time.

But the Pompeii Legion was miserable. Before the start of the season, they were deducted ten points because of the financial crisis. After the start of the season, Portsmouth's ranking has been declining all the way.

Even Coventry and Downs Carter, who are farther down the list, didn't score much more.

In this battle, Portsmouth made every effort to score points in the away game and escape the relegation zone by the way.

Unexpectedly, Southampton went all out at home.

Drogba's two passes and two shots, together with the goals of Toni Kroos, Lavelle Morrison and Pogba, helped Southampton finally beat Portsmouth [-]-[-] at home, further stepping their rivals into the abyss of relegation.

Fans throughout St. Mary's Stadium were in a carnival.

Shame before the snow!

Wasn't Portsmouth the Premier League stepping on Southampton's corpse back then?
Now, the Saints have their revenge!

Let's see if you still dare to be so arrogant in Portsmouth in the future!
After playing Portsmouth, Southampton soon ushered in the league's second-ranked Reading.

This is a hard stubble, notoriously difficult to fight.

However, at St. Mary's Stadium, Southampton still played steadily. With two goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, they defeated Reading [-]-[-] at home.

After this battle, there are eight rounds left in the Premier League, but Southampton has already led No.2 Reading by as many as 26 points, and won the Championship trophy ahead of schedule!
This is also the second championship trophy that Southampton has won after the League Cup, and the team is still advancing in the Europa League and FA Cup, and the limelight is the same for a while!
After winning the British Championship, the draw for the Europa League quarter-finals knockout round is also freshly released.

Southampton's opponent this time is Athletic Bilbao in La Liga.

This is the Basque Lions eliminated Manchester United!

Therefore, the results of the draw have been released, and England fans have issued appeals, hoping that Southampton can avenge Manchester United.

Just after the Europa League draw, Southampton ushered in the knockout round of the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Sitting at home against Tottenham Hotspur.

The North London team also came prepared this time, not only playing with all the main players, but also giving Southampton enough attention.

Even club chairman Daniel Levy also traveled with the team.

But Levi went south, obviously not just to supervise the war!
