Chapter 202 Questioning Hands

Yang Huan didn't really care about this bet with Abramovich.

Neither Matic nor Sturridge is the type that can come to 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, who have reached the FA Cup final, have already won the Premier League and will reach the 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 prizes, but there are many games.

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

Next season's Championship, League Cup, FA Cup, and Europa League will be played on four fronts, and the pressure of the competition will be very high.

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

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

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

Southampton need a trophy!

Players need a championship trophy after a year of hard work!

After killing Arsenal and Chelsea and other Premier League giants, it is rare to kill Manchester United in one go, which 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 off the royal box, Yang Huan took the elevator directly to the dressing room passage below the stands.

As soon as I walked out of the elevator and passed the corner, I saw the referee team walking down the court.

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

This international referee enforces the law very strictly, but he is dubbed by many as a Chelsea fan. Because of the Chelsea games he enforced, the Blues basically won them all.

man as his name suggests,

Even Martin Atkinson walked off the court with a serious face.

Even if he saw Yang Huan, he just swept away without stopping.

On the contrary, the assistant referees who followed behind Martin Atkinson all nodded towards Yang Huan with a smile and greeted him.

However, these people did not stop, 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?

Walking outside the south locker room, Yang Huan didn't hear anything inside.

As you can guess, the people inside should be very depressed at this time.

Southampton have played so far, who really can't blame the loss of the ball?

Strowman and Vidal have always been like that, they've never been the traditional midfielder who can hold their positions.

To be honest, the last time the team played against Chelsea, the problem of the midfielder was exposed.

If the old fox Ferguson doesn't make use of it, then he has been a scumbag 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, who met the team's tactical needs.

This also made Yang Huan make up his mind. No matter what the cost this summer, he will 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 knocked gently on the locker room door.

Knock ~ Knock ~ Knock ~

In the originally silent locker room, when a knock on the door was heard, everyone immediately looked over.

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

"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 disarray.

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

Players, look at me, I look at you, hesitated for a while, and then sat down under the urging of Yang Huan.

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

Yang Huan walked to the middle of the players with a smile. He rarely came to the locker room because he felt that he should not appear here.

Even at Stapleswood, Yang Huan paid 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, of course he would not say no, and 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."

Having said that, Yang Huan really bowed his head at the players and made an apology.

"Master Huan!" The players suddenly stood up one by one.

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 join Southampton play with peace of mind. I feel ashamed that this happened this time, but I promise it won't happen again!"

He doesn't believe it anymore. After this incident, 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 when they want to attack Southampton.

"Your job is to win games on the football pitch, and my job is to make sure you can play with peace of mind."

The players listened, nodding one by one, this is indeed the 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 is to kick the ball and win the game!

"Specifically, I don't understand things at 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, Chelsea's owner Roman Abramovich said that after we conceded the ball, our odds at William Hill were leaked, and everyone was not optimistic about us, even Abramovich Ramovic all said that if we win, he will let us pick any star in his team, free and pay back."

The players were a little stunned.

Is this Abramovich Kai?

But soon, they gradually realized that he was not Kaizi, but looked down on Southampton!

He thinks that after a goal behind, it is impossible for Southampton to win!

This made everyone present annoyed and angry.

"I guess, Ferguson must be laughing now, and many media must have already thought about how to write the headlines of tomorrow's newspapers!"

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, turned and walked out of the locker room.

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

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

Remember those powerful words I said in an interview with the Southern Echo yesterday?

Do you still remember Haikou boasting in an exclusive interview with a TV station before the game?

Remember the faces of the 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 still haven't given up, have they?

Ibrahimovic sat in his place, looking up at the door of the locker room, his eyes looking like they were about to breathe fire.

What he hated most was being looked down upon.

But unfortunately, some people look down on him now!

He was not reconciled and could not accept it, so he wanted to fight back!

Just how many teammates have the same mind as him?

Never mind!

Ibrahimovic suddenly stood up straight and looked around at his teammates.

"Damn, we shouted our slogans nicely before the game, but when it comes to the game, have we tried our best?"

The question from the Swedish center made the other ten players in the field question themselves.

Did you really do 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's all bullshit, we did so much before, and it's useless at all? "

Ibrahimovic's remarks made other players seem to have renewed hope.

"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 team's morale.

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

Stroman also stood up and patted Vidal on the shoulder, "I also have a responsibility, we fight side by side!"

"Yes, as long as we work together, nothing is impossible!"

"We Southampton can take out Arsenal, take out Chelsea, then we can take out Manchester United now!"

"Well said, kill Manchester United!"

"Fuck them, fight with them!"

Bielsa and Luis Borini were also greatly encouraged when they heard the enthusiastic remarks from the players.

On a tactical level, what they can do is really limited.

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

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

Because everyone knows the bottom line and knows each other very well.

The test now is morale, fighting spirit, and who can persevere to the end.

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

…………

…………

After a fifteen-minute break, the opposing sides returned to the playing field.

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

Although the scene is at a disadvantage, the fans of Southampton are not at all lost to Manchester United in terms of momentum.

On the contrary, because the team fell behind, the fighting spirit of the fans was even more high.

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 view of England's most respected coaches is that Southampton are in a pretty bad position, but there is still a chance.

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

Wilkinson's view can be described as sharp.

"If you want to change, it's also a question of who to change!"

"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 positional attack be played? Hernandez is at the top alone. It doesn't work!"

Wilkinson's eyes are very sharp.

"Southampton's Vidal has little effect. How to use him well, 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 forward, that is also the 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, the real main course is in the second half!"

In fact, at the beginning of the second half, the two sides went head-to-head against Maimang, and the fight was very tragic. ()
