Chapter 1077 This bastard is here!
As the Champions League final draws closer, the football fever in Southampton is heating up.
On the highway from London to Southampton, as soon as you enter Southampton, you can feel the heat of the European Champions League coming towards you.
After getting off the highway and entering the city of Southampton, you can see huge advertisements, posters and celebrations related to the Champions League everywhere in the streets and alleys. Some of them come from UEFA, some are organized by the Southampton City Government, some are hosted by the Saints, and more are from businesses and sponsors.
Everyone can clearly feel that Southampton is fully prepared to welcome this world-renowned football feast.
In order to better prepare for this UEFA Champions League final, everyone from the British government to the Southampton City Government has made sufficient preparations and invested a lot of manpower, material resources and resources in this feast.
The two teams in this Champions League final are Southampton from home and Atletico Madrid from Spain.
Judging from the past practices of the Champions League finals, this matchup will definitely attract countless fans to Southampton.
Although the Saints are a local team, their appeal and influence have long spread beyond Southampton. Not only in the areas around London, but also in Birmingham and even in the central and northern regions such as Manchester, the Saints have many fans.
Not to mention the Champions League final, even the regular Premier League games can attract many fans from outside Hong Kong.
It is entirely predictable that countless fans from the UK, other European countries, and even outside Europe will gather in Southampton to share this feast.
Atletico Madrid is from Spain, and it will surely attract a large number of Spanish fans to Southampton to cheer for the team they support.
Such a large group of fans flocked to Southampton, they not only came to watch the game, but also to go sightseeing, vacation, shop and consume. This can greatly promote the development of Southampton's tourism industry, but it also brings huge challenges.
In fact, to some extent, it is also a great stimulus to the development of tourism in London.
Therefore, in order to better serve the fans during the Champions League final, Southampton and the British Tourism Association have simultaneously formulated a series of policies, including price controls on hotels and guesthouses to ensure sufficient rooms.
In the two months before the Champions League final, with the completion of the old city renovation, a total of three five-star hotels began operating in Southampton. Together with the existing hotels and guesthouses in the surrounding areas, the supply of rooms should have been relatively sufficient.
But what no one expected was that as soon as the list of players for the Champions League final was released, the hotel was snapped up by fans from all over the world.
Not only the areas around Southampton, but also rooms in central London and south London have been booked, becoming hard to find, and prices have risen significantly compared to usual times.
In this regard, the British Tourism Association also reluctantly admitted that there is indeed a shortage of supply.
At the same time, in order to facilitate the travel of fans, during the Champions League final, the operating hours of buses, cars and trains between Southampton and London will be extended, and more flights between London and Madrid will be added.
According to data released by the British government, on the day of the Champions League final, the number of flights in and out of airports around London and Southampton will reach a peak, setting a record high.
This also shocked everyone.
You know, London has hosted the Champions League final before. Wembley Stadium once hosted the Champions League final twice in three years, but none of them attracted the attention of fans all over the world like it does now.
In addition to travel, the Southampton City Council has also done a lot of preparatory work.
The old town renovation project has been completed. In the commercial plaza built on the site of the Saints' original St. Mary's Stadium, a grand UEFA championship celebration will be held during the Champions League final.
During the event, UEFA will display the Champions League trophy and the St. Bledsoe Cup to all fans, and will also host a series of exciting activities and competitions, such as freestyle football exhibitions, five-a-side football matches, football concerts, and football training courses offered by professional coaches.
When welcoming the Champions League trophy to Commercial Square, Southampton Mayor Terry Matthews said that Southampton has many enthusiastic fans, a world-class football stadium, and an outstanding team like the Saints.
As mayor, he believes that Southampton has the confidence and ability to successfully host this year's Champions League final.
At the same time, Terry Matthews also called for more fans to come to Southampton to share this football feast.
Not only the official, but also the sponsors of the two participating teams in the Champions League final have invested heavily and held a series of related activities in Southampton and London, hoping to use the platform of the Champions League final to showcase their brands.
Southampton and Atletico Madrid officials were also not idle. Both teams cooperated with hotels, travel companies and other parties to provide fans with hotel and air ticket booking services early on.
Just like the last time the two teams reached the Champions League final, this time, the tickets that the Saints and Colchoneros received from UEFA were not sold to the public, but were given directly to the team's senior member fans.
This means that only UEFA's tickets are left on the market, making them hard to come by. The prices of tickets in the hands of scalpers are rising steadily, even to quite outrageous prices.
Neither UEFA nor the participating teams can do anything about scalpers.
It was in the midst of such a huge football craze that swept across southern England that the Champions League final finally arrived.
"Master Huan!"
A group of young people wearing uniform Southampton jerseys walked into the Tingyuxuan Teahouse in Glory Square with great momentum.
Not to mention, looking at the movement they made, they were really imposing. People who didn't know them would think they were the Italian mafia.
Oh, no, if they only look at the guy in the lead, they should be more suspicious that they are terrorists from the Middle East.
Well, it should be the remnants of Bin Laden!
When Yang Huan heard the shout, he immediately frowned and cursed inwardly, "Nimmy, this bastard is here!"
Isn’t the man in the lead the little prince from the Middle East, Hamad?
Hamad is indeed a shameless guy.
Who could have imagined that the guy who looked like a Middle Eastern show-off who had never seen a beautiful woman in his life would now become a little Middle Eastern thief who was harming ignorant girls in London.
Especially in the past few years, after he joined the Saints Fan Club, he has become the number one figure that many members follow.
Of course, compared with transcendent figures like Yang Huan and Prince William, there is still a big gap. Even compared with local figures like Hugh Grovena and John Cock, he is slightly inferior.
But there is nothing we can do, as the little tycoons in the Middle East have a lot of money.
Even if they are the second generation of rich people, there are differences, okay?
I saw this group of guys coming in front of Yang Huan and shouting in unison, "Master Huan!"
Yang Huan nodded helplessly and amusedly, indicating that they could do whatever they wanted.
Please don't act like I'm a gangster boss, okay?
Then everyone dispersed.
"Hey, Hamad, why did you grow a beard? You look like Bin Laden!"
As soon as Master Huan saw Hamad, he burst into laughter.
Hamad scratched his beard proudly, "Hey, Master Huan, how is it? Sexy, right?"
“Oh shit!” Yang Huan felt like he was going to collapse, and he raised his middle finger.
Hamad chuckled and said, "I've been chasing after that female star recently, haven't I?"
"Oh, is that the one you shamelessly went to meet by using my name?" Yang Huan directly exposed him.
Even Hamad, who was thick-skinned, couldn't help but blush, "Master Huan, is that all in the past?"
Yang Huan smiled but said nothing. This guy would do anything to pick up girls.
"She said I wasn't rugged enough, so I thought about it and realized that this body was given to me by my parents, so I had no choice but to make do with it. So I just grew a beard, isn't that a bit more rugged?"
Yang Huan laughed out loud when he heard this, and he felt like teaching Prime Minister Hamad's son a lesson.
Nimei, what does it mean to make do?
It seems that you are not satisfied with the way your parents created you, right?
"Master Huan, I've decided to hold a dance party in a few days. Please give me some face."
"Oh, forget it, this kind of occasion is not suitable for me!" Yang Huan immediately shook his head.
"Please, I am very serious this time and I have invested a lot of feelings in you. You don't want to see your brother break up, right?"
"If my breakup gets out, you'll be embarrassed, right?"
Yang Huan burst out laughing. Needless to say, he must have promised that the female star would invite him to attend her event.
"I can't help it. When I'm out, my wife tells me not to pick wild flowers on the roadside. I can't help her."
Hamad suddenly felt bitter, "I am really serious this time, it's true love, and you don't support me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from behind him.
"I say, little prince, when have you ever been in love but not truly in love?"
Yang Huan looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Gavin Patterson, the CEO of British Telecom, the guy who was known for unbuttoning three buttons.
"Yes, he told me it was true love last time, and I even lent him my castle. But, this bastard broke up with me in less than two months!" Hugh Grove, who was walking beside Gavin Patterson, laughed.
"What he calls true love means he really doesn't love me!" John Cock also said.
Hamad was immediately depressed. "How can you treat your friends badly?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Yang Huan pointed at Gavin Patterson and said, "You have led him astray. Go and deal with him!"
Gavin Patterson made an OK gesture, no problem.
I don’t know whether Hamad had been strictly abstinent since childhood, or he was born a playboy, or he was led astray step by step by Gavin Patterson. In short, after hanging out with Gavin Patterson, this guy was completely depraved.
Of course, it was only his body and emotions that were corrupted, but this guy had gradually taken over their family's investments in the UK and Europe in the past two years, and was doing quite well.
The most famous of these is the Gaming Competition League.
This organization has now become an authority in the fields of e-sports, mobile gaming, etc. It not only plans competitions, but is also actively developing supporting services, and has considerable development potential.
However, Hamad is only a small shareholder. The largest shareholder is Yang Huan, and many members of the Saints Fan Club have shares.
With Gavin Patterson, a playboy with connections, and Hamad, Hugh Grovener, John Cock and others who are all young and energetic, when they get together, the topics they talk about are of course entertainment, women, and the like.
After chatting for a while, Mubarak of Manchester City, Woodward of Manchester United, Gazidis of Arsenal, Daniel Levy of Tottenham Hotspur, as well as the CEO of the Premier League Scudmore, the Chairman of the FA Bernstein and others, also arrived at the Glory Square one after another.
As soon as they arrived at Glory Plaza, the first person they looked for was Young Master Huan.
As a result, the Glory Plaza was crowded with people, and the third floor of Tingyuxuan was also very lively.
