Chapter 1042 Yes, we are going to lose our temper!
"Didn't they say that recently the fans of Tianjin Taida are very dissatisfied with the club, so the attendance is very low?"
When Yang Huan arrived outside the Water Drop Stadium in Tianjin, what he saw was a huge crowd of people.
This couldn't help but surprise Master Huan, who was not very familiar with the Chinese Super League.
"Master Huan, that depends on the specific circumstances." Fang Wei, CEO of Guoen, who made a special trip to Tianjin International Airport to pick him up, explained with a smile.
"The match between Tianjin and Beijing has always been the most watched match by fans of both teams. The attendance rate of each match is quite high. In the past few years, basically every match between Beijing and Tianjin has exceeded 40,000, and this year's match is expected to exceed 60,000."
"So many?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.
"Yes, this game is our domestic debut. We didn't play very well in the previous warm-up games, but they were all played abroad against strong teams. Although the fans are a little disappointed, they are also looking forward to it. This game is our domestic debut, so it will definitely attract the most attention."
Fang Wei smiled and analyzed, "In addition to the grievances between Beijing and Tianjin, there are countless Guoen fans coming from Beijing, and there are also many local fans in Tianjin who come to see our big-name stars. Naturally, the stadium is full."
Big-name stars can often drive the ball market, which is normal.
No one is exempted from this, both at home and abroad.

The enthusiasm of Beijing Guoan fans is well known, and the Workers' Stadium is the hottest gold medal ball market in the country.
But along with it come controversies, such as Beijing cursing, or the bias of the Beijing media, etc., which are also problems.
"We have communicated with Tianjin, and they also attach great importance to it. After all, this is their home ground."
"That's good!" Yang Huan nodded.
"Our professional football has just started to develop, especially in recent years, the trend of younger fans is obvious, social pressure is high, fans need to vent, which is also normal, but we must pay attention to the guidance of public opinion."
The stadium has become a place for venting, and this is happening all over the world.
For example, in Europe, when the football market is the hottest, it is often the worst time for the economy.
Why?
Because fans need to vent, the football field serves as such a venting platform.
But this does not mean that the club should just let it go, because that is not acceptable.
"In the past, our club's image was not very good and domestic fans' impression of us was not very ideal. This is of course a problem of a minority of fans, but we also have some responsibility."
In Yang Huan's opinion, Beijing Guoan had a bad image in the past, and the club did not take responsibility. On the contrary, it was somewhat suspected of adding fuel to the fire.
Why do I say so?
On the one hand, it is to maintain the hot ball market and create a devilish home atmosphere and attendance. At the same time, it is also to divert conflicts and divide the fans' attention.
Generally speaking, if a club invests less and performs poorly, the fans' anger will definitely be directed at the team management.
Even Florentino Perez of Real Madrid has to endure the anger of fans because of the team's poor performance, and even worries about stepping down. It is conceivable that this rule is the same all over the world.
In this case, the best way for the club is to find excuses and divert the conflict.
Over time, the clubs that should have been responsible for guiding the fans have instead been fanning the flames behind the scenes, which has undoubtedly further exacerbated this phenomenon.
Now, Yang Huan believes that it is necessary for the club to take responsibility and improve its image.
"Master Huan, we are already doing it!" Fang Wei said.
Master Huan had already mentioned this when he was assigning the work, so Fang Wei did not dare to neglect it.
"Professional football is very realistic. It relies on strength. If we win, it's our ability. If we lose, it's because we are not as skilled as others. Only by looking for the reasons in ourselves can we make progress. We should not always blame others for the problems..."
At this point, Yang Huan smiled faintly, "I'm not Mourinho!"
Fang Wei burst out laughing when he heard this. Mourinho was really shot even when he was lying down.
But it’s no wonder, who asked him to coach Manchester United?
According to the British media, Manchester United invited Mourinho to restrain Southampton's Guardiola.
Therefore, it is not unfair for me to be teased by Young Master Huan now.
But Master Huan is right, overall strength is what matters on the football field.
The level of referees varies, and misjudgments are inevitable. Even because the playing styles of the teams are different, the treatment of misjudgments will definitely be different, but this cannot be said to be a conspiracy.
Even in the Premier League, everyone knows that teams like Southampton and Arsenal control the ball and the tempo. In order to disrupt them, their opponents will certainly adopt tactics with more fouls, so the proportion of misjudgments will be higher.
This is a high probability event!
Not to mention the Premier League, isn't this a very common thing in La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, and even in the Champions League and the World Cup?
In the World Cup final, De Jong even made a super fast kick against Xabi Alonso, but nothing happened in the end, right?
Fang Wei understood very well what Master Huan meant. Losing the game and losing points is not a solution to blame others. It is impossible to make progress. The only way to make progress is to look for the reasons in oneself, discover and correct the problems.
Not only him, but the entire management team of Beijing Guo'en, all clearly felt that Master Huan's management of the club and his business philosophy had undergone earth-shaking changes from before.
To give a simple example, management used to say that Beijing fans had too high demands and expectations of the team and that the team was under too much pressure.
But Master Huan told Fang Wei very bluntly that since you are in Beijing, you must be prepared to bear the high demands and high expectations brought by Beijing fans. If you can't even meet these, what qualifications do you have to gain a foothold in Beijing?
So, not long ago, when Fang Wei was interviewed by the media, he stated very domineeringly that if Guoen did not win the championship this year, it would be a failure and it would be his dereliction of duty!
Such a powerful statement and such firm determination have never been seen before.
The Guoan fans were also very encouraged after hearing this. They believed that the club was going to do something big this time. They even shouted out such slogans and determination, so they were all very excited.
It's not just Fang Wei, the entire management team is like this.
This is also thanks to Fang Wei, who quickly reorganized the management team of Beijing Guo'en in a short period of time. By improving the management structure and rectifying morale, he reactivated the vitality of the team and made the team a brand new one.
Yang Huan looked at the crowd outside the stadium from afar, and his heart was also full of anticipation for the upcoming game and the upcoming season, but he was very confident.
He has confidence not only in his own players, but also in Pochettino and Fang Wei.
"It's almost time, let's go!"
Because of the flight delay, Yang Huan rushed here immediately after landing. He also wanted to meet with the players before the game started to boost their morale.
After all, this is the first game of the new season. If we play well in the first game, the next games will be much easier.
There was a constant stream of people coming and going in the entire Water Drop Stadium.
The staff were all busy with their work and not many people paid attention to anything else.
Even if someone recognized Yang Huan occasionally, they would just pass by him and then turn around to give him a glance, but no one would come forward to say hello or anything, and he arrived at the locker room unimpeded.
Fang Wei rushed forward before Master Huan and knocked hard on the locker room door.
The door opened, and a member of the local coaching team came out. When he saw Fang Wei, he looked behind Fang Wei and exclaimed, "Master Huan?"
"Can I come in?" Yang Huan asked with a polite smile.
"Uh..." The staff was a little surprised.
The club owner wants to come to the locker room and asks if he can enter?
No way?
Didn’t they just barge in before?
"Go ask Pochettino and tell him that I want to meet with the players. If it's not convenient, then forget it." Yang Huan said calmly.
It's like talking about something very important.
The local coach, whom Yang Huan didn't know, was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded and said "oh", turned around and ran in without even closing the locker room door. This made Yang Huan smile bitterly and shook his head.
If Pochettino was planning targeted tactics inside at this time, and someone from Tianjin Taida happened to pass by outside, wouldn't they be overheard?
Fang Wei gave an awkward smile, took a step forward, and gently closed the door.
Ten seconds later, the door of the locker room was seen opened again, and this time it was Pochettino who opened the door.
"Hello, Mauricio!" Yang walked towards him with a smile and stretched out his right hand from a distance.
"Hello, Master Huan!" Pochettino shook Master Huan's hand tightly.
"How do you feel?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.
Pochettino nodded, "There are still many problems, but I am confident!"
"Very good!" Yang Huan praised with a smile, "As long as you have confidence, I have confidence in you!"
Pochettino nodded gratefully and made a gesture of invitation.
Yang Huan followed him into the locker room.
"Master Huan!"
"Hello, Master Huan!"
"You are finally here, Master Huan!"
As soon as they came in, the players started greeting each other, some in Chinese, some in English, and all kinds of languages.
"Hey, Team Dragon, thank you for your hard work!"
"Wu Lei, you performed well in the warm-up match. Keep it up. I am very optimistic about you!"
"Hey, Zhang Chengdong, the player you're facing in this match is a Portuguese Super League player. Beat him and prove yourself!"
"Ha, Zlatan, I just read in the newspaper that their central defenders are as tall as you. I think you're in trouble!"
"Oh, John, let me tell you, their striker used to play for Jutus, you better be careful!"
"Xavi, in China, you have at least millions of fans watching you, so don't be nervous and don't mess it up."
"Kaka, shut up those doubters who think you are old!"
He recognized each player and offered a word of encouragement as he passed by each one.
The players were also very encouraged by Master Huan's move, and excitement was evident in their eyes.
Yang Huan returned to the players only after shaking hands with them all.
"The game is about to start. I don't understand the professional issues. All I can do is tell you that I have absolute confidence in you. I will not be shaken by one game, a period of time, or even a season's performance."
"You don't need to play for me, you should play for yourself and for the fans outside who risked their lives to come to the away game."
"Listen, they're already going crazy in the stands outside!"
"What about you?"
The foreign players didn't understand what Master Huan said, but the local players were all amused and laughed.
"Master Huan, we have been holding it in for long enough. We have been wanting to explode for a long time!"
"Yes, we are going to freak out!"
