Chapter 1020 Who can stop the Saints?

"Just now, Grandpa and my dad, did you tell me everything?"

Sitting in the car on the way home, Zhuang Ziqing asked while driving.

Yang Huan turned his head and saw a beautiful profile through the faint light coming in through the windshield. From the forehead to the arm bridge to the lips to the jaw, the lines were almost perfect, as if they were carved by God with supernatural skills.

At this moment, even Master Huan was mesmerized.

Taking advantage of the time when there were no cars ahead, Zhuang Ziqing turned around to look at Master Huan, only to find that this guy was actually staring at her in a daze. She felt sweet and angry at the same time, and couldn't help but scold him angrily, "Idiot, I'm asking you a question!"

"Oh, what do you want to ask?" Yang Huan asked.

"I want to ask, did my grandfather and my father tell you that the organization wanted to arrange for me to go to the grassroots level?"

Yang Huan nodded, "Yes, I said it all."

"Then what do you say?" Zhuang Ziqing asked.

She also found out about it tonight, and it was her father Zhuang Mingyang who told her just now. It might be arranged after the Chinese New Year.

"I respect your decision!" Yang Huan laughed, "If you want to go, then I will support you to go. I will live peacefully in the future and be the man behind you and a professional nanny. What do you think?"

Zhuang Ziqing burst out laughing when he heard it, "You? A professional nanny? Don't tease me!"

With Yang Huan's personality, could he stay at home peacefully and change his child's diapers?

How is that possible?

"If you don't want to go, then I'll go tell them and we won't go!"

Zhuang Ziqing felt particularly warm in her heart when she heard Yang Huan's words. On this cold winter night, her whole body was burning with heat.

She knew that although she and Yang Huan felt a little bit like they were following their parents' orders, they were sincere.

Yang Huan's statement was actually encouraging her to bravely create her own career, which touched her very much.

I believe every wife hopes that her husband can respect her in this way, right?

"Then do you think I can do it?" Zhuang Ziqing asked again.

She had some understanding of grassroots affairs, and she was also clear about her own personality, so she was a little unsure.

But who would have thought that after hearing this, Young Master Huan just laughed and said, "Of course, who are you? I am Yang Huan's wife. If I say you can do it, then you can do it. If I say you can't do it, then it's OK..."

Master Huan couldn't continue speaking until he was halfway through, and just kept laughing happily.

Zhuang Ziqing glared at him and said you are fat, and you really started to pant.

But no matter what, with the support from her husband, Zhuang Ziqing still felt at ease, "Thank you!"

Yang Huan also felt warm in his heart. Perhaps, this is how the relationship between husband and wife should be.

"Hey, don't say thank you, let's take some practical action."

"What?" Zhuang Ziqing was a little wary.

Normally at times like this, this stinky guy would definitely say something embarrassing that would ruin the mood?

As expected, Yang Huanle laughed happily and said, "How about we find a deserted place and study how to create life?"

Hey, you're so good, you can even talk about something like this in such a literary way?

I really admire you!

However, Zhuang Ziqing still couldn't accept the car thing.

But you can go home!

…………

While Yang Huan was living a leisurely life in China, European football was welcoming the Christmas holiday.

Around Christmas every year, the Premier League stands out and monopolizes the entire European football scene and even the attention of fans around the world.

Why do we have to schedule four rounds of league games in a tight period of ten days around Christmas?

Do you really think that the Premier League is so bored that it is deliberately discrediting itself?

Wrong. The main reason is that when all other leagues were suspended, the Premier League became the only choice for fans all over the world. During this golden time, the Premier League had no other competitors and was the only one.

Therefore, the introduction of the winter break has been talked about for so long, but in reality it has always been a lot of noise but little action, and this is the reason.

The Saints' 2015 Shopping Carnival has arrived as scheduled again.

In view of the booming results last year, this year the club, the merchants at the Glory Stadium, and the team’s sponsors all attach great importance to it and have made great efforts to publicize and promote it, with quite large discounts.

More importantly, with the trial experience last year, we are obviously more experienced this year and can handle it with ease.

Popular stores like Harrods opened early at 6 a.m., and as a result, the store's popular discounted products were snapped up in an instant by customers from the UK and Europe who heard the news.

It's not just Harrods, other stores are also seeing booming sales, even better than last year.

As the shopping carnival became more and more successful, the Saints' performance also exceeded that of previous years.

After returning to Southampton from Japan, in the first game after Christmas, Southampton defeated Arsenal 4-0 at home and won their 18th consecutive Premier League victory, which shocked fans all over the world.

Eighteen consecutive wins, who can stop the Saints?

But just two days after defeating Arsenal, the Saints drew 1-1 with Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane in North London, with Suarez and Cristiano Ronaldo each scoring a goal.

In this way, the Saints' winning streak ended at 18 consecutive wins, which is also regrettable.

However, three days later, the Saints went to east London again to challenge West Ham United away, but the score was 2-2, which was a draw again. What made everyone even more depressed was that the Saints only scored an equalizer in the last minutes of the game, with Sturridge barely escaping from the away game.

This made all Saints fans a little disappointed, but they still understood it.

In order to play in the Club World Cup, the players traveled back and forth across half the globe, and then immediately faced the devilish Christmas schedule. Even if the Saints' players had iron bodies, they couldn't withstand such a torment, right?

In just one month, the Saints played a total of eight games and flew across half the globe. With this intensity of the game, who can stand it?

Therefore, after the team drew two games in a row, head coach Ancelotti said in an interview with the media that the team was not in any crisis.

"We played five games in twelve days and traveled thousands of kilometers. This is a big test for any team, but we managed to get through it successfully."

"Yes, the team has drawn two games in a row recently, but I don't think it's a crisis."

"Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are both strong opponents. We are playing away from home. I am very satisfied with the team for achieving such a result."

As for the crisis theory widely spread by the outside media, Ancelotti said that the team will not take it to heart. They have long been accustomed to this style of media and will not take it too seriously.

"Next, we will focus on adjusting the players' physical fitness and preparing for the second half of the league."

While the Saints suffered two consecutive draws, the draw ceremony for the UEFA Champions League round of 16 was held in Nyon, Switzerland, the headquarters of UEFA, and the result of the draw was a surprise.

Defending champion Southampton drew their opponent Ajax from the Dutch League, Klopp's Inter Milan drew Manchester City, Tuchel's Hamburg drew Anderlecht, and Real Madrid drew Tottenham Hotspur.

Cristiano Ronaldo faces his old club, which is undoubtedly in line with the consistent principles of the Champions League draw.

Barcelona drew Benfica, Bayern Munich drew Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid drew PSV Eindhoven, and Monaco drew Zenit St. Petersburg.

As soon as the draw results came out, everyone thought that Atletico Madrid had the best luck, as they actually drew PSV Eindhoven, the weakest team in the group stage. The draw results for teams such as Saints, Monaco, and Barcelona were also quite promising.

However, there is no shortage of strong dialogues in the Champions League knockout rounds, such as Klopp's Inter Milan against Manchester City, the old giants Real Madrid against the upstart Tottenham Hotspur, and Bayern Munich against Paris Saint-Germain. These are also quite anticipated duels.

It is no surprise that the Saints avoid strong teams.

The reason is simple. Paris Saint-Germain and Southampton are in the same group and will not meet in the knockout stage. Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City are in the same league as the Saints and will not meet again.

Therefore, long before the draw, the media speculated that the Saints' opponent would be one of Anderlecht, Ajax, Benfica, Zenit and PSV Eindhoven. No matter who the opponent is, there is no doubt that the Saints will advance to the quarterfinals.

Yang Huan felt very depressed when he learned the results of the draw.

Among the five teams they had a chance to meet, three were their own teams and two were from other teams. As a result, they really met their own team, and unlucky Ajax could only stop in the quarterfinals.

Unless De Boer performs exceptionally well, how could Ajax possibly beat the Saints in an upset?

As soon as the draw results came out, the media and fans around the world began to speculate.

Basically, it can be seen that the Saints are still the number one favorite to win the championship.

But what is a bit surprising is that Atletico Madrid's odds of winning the championship are also very high, second only to Southampton, even surpassing Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. This is a bit confusing.

But considering that Atletico Madrid has been leading the La Liga since it defeated Barcelona in the decisive battle and successfully reversed to the top, maintaining a lead of five to seven points, its performance can be said to be outstanding.

Therefore, fans also feel that Simeone's team has a great chance of making history.

This is no wonder. Simeone's team's overall level has been steadily improving. Even after the metabolism in the past two years and the departure of a group of players, with the performance of a group of young players and a group of players introduced by Yang Huan from Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid's overall level has not declined but increased.

Today, the Colchoneros are basically maintaining their position at the quarterfinal level, and even have a hope of reaching the semifinals. Even if they encounter teams like Southampton and Bayern Munich, as long as they perform well, they even have a hope of competing with them.

Because of this, fans have high expectations for Atletico Madrid and hope that the Colchoneros can make a breakthrough.

Simeone has been feeling depressed ever since losing to Southampton in the Champions League final, hoping to have a chance to regroup and return to the Champions League, but he always ended up in the semi-finals.

After the reorganization of the Colchoneros this season, the team has been getting better and better at running-in, and the overall strength of the team is getting stronger and stronger. Simeone is also ambitious to make a difference, and returning to the Champions League final has undoubtedly become Simeone's most urgent idea.

Yang Huan and Miracle Football Group also gave Simeone their greatest support.

Previously, when watching the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Yang Huan even promised personally that if Atletico Madrid could win the championship, he would give generous rewards to every player in the team to stimulate them to achieve even better results.

This also proves Yang Huan's fairness once again.

Although many teams belong to him, he and the group management do not show any favoritism. They treat everyone equally. Whoever has the ability can play, and whoever gets good results will be rewarded.

Therefore, if Atletico Madrid wants to win the championship this season, it depends on their own abilities.

Just as the draw for the Champions League round of 16 was released, a transfer that Yang Huan had been closely following finally made a breakthrough.
