Chapter 640, Master Huan, You Are Serious!

"Master Huan!"

Just as Yang Huan walked out of the lobby and was about to go upstairs, he was stopped by someone who was chasing after him.

Looking back, it turned out to be Drogba.

"Didier?" Yang Huan was a little surprised, "What's the matter?"

The dark-skinned Drogba was a little embarrassed, "Can I have a chat outside?"

Yang Huan shrugged, "Of course, what's the matter!" After finishing speaking, he responded with a smile.

Only then did Drogba nod in relief.

The two walked from another passage, avoiding the lobby, to the open-air dining area outside.

In recent years, the Wangjiang Pavilion main store has been undergoing renovations. A scenic tree-lined path has been specially built along the entire River Tester for guests to take a walk before and after meals.

"Master Huan, I..." Didier Drogba and Yang Huan walked on this tree-lined path, but their words faltered.

Yang Huan smiled slightly, "Didier, do you know? In my eyes, we are not just the relationship between the owner and the players!"

Drogba was taken aback, besides this level, what else is there to do?
"We are still friends!" Yang Huan said with a smile.

The tone he used gave people confidence, proving that he was not lying.

"We Chinese are very enthusiastic and like to make friends. Since you came to the team and participated in the dinner for the first time, you dared to fight with me face to face, and I regarded you as a friend!"

Drogba felt overwhelmed after hearing this.

Who doesn't know that with Master Yi Huan's influence and status, those who can call him friends are not simple people.

Although I have achieved many achievements in my career as a professional player, players are just players. Compared with a big man like Master Huan, players are nothing at all.

Do not believe?Try it in a few years and see how many people will often mention Drogba!
Even, it won't take a few years, but now, because he gradually became a substitute among the substitutes in Southampton last season, his chances of playing have dropped sharply, and his attention is not as good as before.

Fortunately, Southampton is also actively helping him and building momentum on WeChat, and he also insists on updating WeChat every day to check his presence, which has benefited him a lot.

Drogba was very moved and took a deep breath, "Master Huan, I want to ask, can I stay in Southampton?"

After asking, Drogba looked up at Master Huan nervously.

He knew that his request was a bit unreasonable, because he continued to stay in the team and did not contribute much to Southampton.

The current number one center forward in the team is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but everyone can see that the Swedish center has gradually been threatened, and Suarez is the most likely candidate to replace the Swedish center.

When Bielsa was in the North American training camp, he also specially rehearsed Suarez's lineup as a center forward. He paid attention to the fast-paced interspersed running and passing cooperation of the frontcourt trident, which is in line with the future development trend of the Southampton team's tactics.

In this case, Drogba stayed in the team and really did not contribute much to Southampton.

But who knows, as soon as Drogba finished speaking, Yang Huan laughed.

"If you don't mention it, I might talk to you too!"

Drogba was a little surprised, Master Huan wants to talk to me?
"Come on, go sit on the gazebo by the river!"

The two walked into a traditional Chinese gazebo one after the other, and sat down.

"You know, the team's work in the new season mainly revolves around two points. One is the Premier League. We hope to ensure a strong impact on the Premier League title, and even successfully defend the title!"

Drogba has also heard about this. With Southampton's strength, as long as Suarez and Sanchez are well-tuned, and the midfield configuration is adjusted, it is indeed possible, because the timing is too good.

Manchester United has just changed coaches and left a core soul, Ferguson. The Red Devils have lost their strong cohesion.

What's more, the newly appointed Moyes has performed poorly in the transfer market. So far, none of the strong support the Red Devils want has come, and there is no way to talk about the replacement of the team.

This also makes people full of worries about Manchester United's Premier League prospects!
The same is true for Chelsea. Although Mandzukic was introduced, Adam Lallana was left, and even Juan Mata may leave the team. The center forward, midfielder and defender that Mourinho required when he took office, and the latter two strong supporters have not yet been found.

Especially the full-backs, Ivanovic is on the right, but Ashley Cole on the left has no one to replace him.

The most terrible thing is the midfielder. Mourinho's team eats the midfielder very much. If the waist is hard, the Portuguese madman can play well.

But in the end, Chelsea's midfield signings are still at a loss.

Needless to say, Liverpool, the Red Army's current lineup configuration, the goal can only hit the top four in the league.

As for the newly promoted local tycoon Tottenham Hotspur, the same is true. Regardless of their strength, if Boas can bring this team into the top four of the league, he can be regarded as qualified.

Arsenal's strength has improved a lot this season, and they have scored Ozil, Higuain and Flamini. However, the Gunners have been weak for many years. This season, they have invested a lot of money to make up for the homework left behind in the past few years. It is possible to reach the top four in the league, but they are still far away if they want to win the championship!
The only rival to Southampton is Manchester City!
Pellegrini's team itself is very strong. After Chilean engineers came to power, they cleaned up the redundant personnel of the team, but also introduced powerful famous players such as Keylor Navas, Fernandinho, Negredo, Jovetic, and Demichelis. Manchester City's competitiveness has taken another big step forward.

If there is no accident, Southampton's strongest competitor this season is Manchester City!
But Manchester City's problem is also very interesting. From the face of the cards, this team is really strong, but if it really comes to the game, it gives people a feeling that they have not played at all.

Most of this has a lot to do with the head coach they hired.

There is a saying that is quite true, a raging soldier, a raging general, a general who is incompetent and exhausts the entire army to death!

Whether it is Mancini or Pellegrini, there is more or less the kind of leadership that imprints a deep personal mark on the team in a short period of time!

It is precisely because of the combination of the current situation in the Premier League that Southampton will set the goal of this season to compete for the Premier League title.

"Our other goal is the Champions League!" Yang Huan waited until Drogba digested his words before continuing, "We hope the team can advance from the Champions League group stage!"

Drogba got it.

The team's goal for the new season is to strive to defend the Premier League and advance to the Champions League group.

It should be said that these two goals are not a particularly big challenge for Southampton.

"The UEFA Champions League is completely different from the Europa League. I believe you know this!"

Drogba nodded, because there are many strong teams in the civil war who have become soft-footed shrimps in the Champions League.

Just like Manchester City, is it strong enough?
But Manchester City's performance in the Champions League is embarrassing and does not match their lineup at all.

On the contrary, it is like Arsenal. This team has not won a championship in the Premier League for many years, and has even been ravaged by Manchester United and Manchester City. However, in the Champions League, Wenger is sure that Arsenal will break through the group stage every year and advance to the top [-].

But don't underestimate this point, because it represents an income gap of over ten million!

"I have talked with Bielsa and others. With the team's current lineup configuration, it is entirely possible to advance to the group stage of the Champions League unless the team is drawn to the death group.

Just kidding, Southampton's strength is not weak at all!

Even if Gareth Bale, Neymar and Vidal are gone, Southampton is still tyrannical in terms of strength.

"So, we need a group of players with rich experience in the Champions League to help the team adapt to the fierce competition in the Champions League and the different styles of play of our different opponents."

When Drogba heard this, he finally understood what Master Huan meant.

In terms of experience in the Champions League, Drogba does not lose to Zlatan Ibrahimovic at all, and even has more than the Swedish center forward. He is definitely the most experienced veteran in the team.

"Didier, even if you don't bring it up, we still hope you can stay. Your experience and experience will help us achieve our goals for the new season!"

Speaking of this, Yang Huan paused, "However, I don't want to lie to you. With the current team configuration, if you continue to stay in the team, I'm afraid more will appear as a substitute. We have no way to promise you the main force. Therefore, we hope you think carefully. If you want to stay, we welcome it. If you want to leave, we will only regret it!"

After Drogba heard it, his expression was serious, "Master Huan, you are serious!"

The Ivorian took a deep breath, "Although I was forced to leave Chelsea and come to Southampton, I have gained a lot in the past period of time, and I am very grateful to you and the team for taking care of me."

"Without you, I'm afraid I would have left the mainstream European leagues long ago, let alone now, I still occupy a place in the Premier League championship team. Therefore, as long as the team needs me, then I will stay, not to mention playing as a substitute, even if there is no game, I am willing!"

Yang Huan immediately nodded with a smile, "Alright, let's make a deal like this!"

In fact, Yang Huan understood in his heart that the reason why Drogba considered staying in the team was because of his own interests.

When he participated in the training camp in the United States this summer, his agent was actively running for him, wanting him to switch to the MLS after leaving Southampton. Miracle Media also helped him, and now things are a little bit better.

In this case, if he leaves Southampton and switches to other small teams, then this transfer is likely to end without a problem, because no matter from which point of view, poaching people from Southampton is quite an advertising effect.

Furthermore, Drogba's current salary and bonuses are all paid for by Abramovich, which is so much a year that other small teams simply cannot afford.

Therefore, it is necessary for Drogba to stay in the team, whether it is from the next consideration or from the analysis of interests.

Of course, the Ivorian staying in the team is also very beneficial to Southampton.

The only downside is that Drogba will occupy one of Southampton's 25-man squad.

But compared with the help that the Ivorians can bring, this seems too insignificant.

After Yang Huan sent Drogba away, he picked up his mobile phone and talked to Peter Kenyon, who also agreed to take over to deal with the following matters, and Yang Huan also mentioned Kaka's transfer.

The joining of the former World Footballer is also a big challenge for Southampton.

However, the Research and Analysis Center was quite optimistic about this transfer. The business department was very excited and shouted to make a big splash. Yang Huan felt that as long as Kaka could use his experience to help Southampton on the field, then the deal would be worthwhile.

As for bringing Kaka back to his peak state...

Do not make jokes!
People who are 31 years old, is it possible?
