Chapter 201 What a nice person!
Abramovich had disliked Yang Huan for a long time, especially after the humiliation he suffered at St. Mary's Stadium last time, he transferred all his resentment to Yang Huan and hated him to the core.
But the problem is, this is a civilized society. Even if you hate him, you can't secretly find someone to kill him, right?
So he has been waiting for the opportunity to take revenge.
Now, as the opportunity came, he immediately seized it, added insult to injury, and severely humiliated Yang Huan and his Southampton.
A League One team that's just lucky. What can it use to compete with a Premier League team?
The Russians' rude and pointed slap in the face made many people in the stands look unhappy.
Even though many people present supported Manchester United, no one would act so ungentlemanly.
Prince William and Princess Kate were having a good chat with Yang Huan just now, but after hearing what Abramovich said, they both looked obviously unhappy. They thought that this Russian was too nouveau riche.
Yang Huan was also angry, but he suppressed it and laughed, "It turned out to be Mr. Abramovich. I didn't expect you to come to watch the game. I'm sorry, I didn't see you just now and didn't say hello to you. Sorry!"
This sudden apology made everyone around feel strange.
Why does it feel like Yang Huan wants to keep things quiet?
Abramovich also found it strange. This guy didn't look like such a coward at all.
Sure enough, after apologizing, Yang Huan continued talking with a chuckle.
"Mr Abramovich is a good man. He knew that we were short of players at Southampton, so he told me that I could pick anyone from the Chelsea team, including Drogba and Terry. I could take whoever I liked. His generosity really made me feel embarrassed."
Abramovich's face darkened. This bastard actually exposed his scars?
Many people present couldn't help but smile.
A rumor was circulating throughout the upper-class circles, that is, Abramovich lost a bet with Yang Huan, but as a result, the other party looked down on the stars of Chelsea's first team and symbolically poached two young players from the youth team to make up the number.
This became evidence for many people to secretly ridicule and mock Chelsea and Abramovich.
"Look, this final is between Southampton and Manchester United. Mr. Abramovich ignored Chelsea's Premier League game and came to us to show his concern for Southampton. I am so touched. What a good man! What a good man!"
While the FA Cup final was being held, the Premier League was also being held and Chelsea had an away game.
Yang Huan's words were ambiguous. On the surface he was praising him, but secretly he was mocking him.
You Chelsea can't even make it to the final, so what qualifications do you have to criticize us Southampton?
At least we made it to the finals. Did you guys do that? Can you do it?
This made Abramovich snort coldly, but he couldn't think of any rebuttal for a while.
"However, if I were Mr. Abramovich, I would definitely not dare to enter this stadium. Even if I came, I would definitely keep my tail between my legs and not dare to say a word in front of the team that once defeated me. It would be embarrassing!"
If Yang Huan had been evasive before, this last sentence was a direct counterattack.
"You..." Abramovich couldn't sit still anymore.
"What about me? Did I say something wrong?" Yang Huan pretended to be stupid and spread his hands.
"Is Chelsea's jersey going to be white? Or red?"
Everyone knows that Chelsea's jersey is blue!
"By the way, let me tell you one more football rule, Mr. Abramovich. You cannot change the color of your jerseys in the middle of the season!"
Many people present couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This is a sarcasm and irony that Abramovich does not understand the rules of football.
Since arriving in London, Abramovich has shown his wealth and power, quickly made a name for himself, and tried his best to get into high society. Although he has made many friends, many people secretly dislike him.
Also a foreigner, Yang Huan quickly made a name for himself after arriving in the UK, but Yang Huan's approach was more high-end and classy. He developed the world-famous WeChat, founded a world-renowned gaming company, and even made games that Princess Kate plays.
More importantly, Yang Huan has done so many things, but he has never thought about joining the upper class.
Even the meeting with Prince William and Princess Kate was initiated by the two of them.
Just now, Wilkinson was asked to go and invite him in person.
That's the difference!
So, at this moment, Abramovich took the initiative to provoke trouble, and Yang Huan counterattacked and scored, which further won the favor of this group of people.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Abramovich stared at Yang Huan, his eyes seemed to be blazing with fire.
"I'll bet with you again, do you dare?"
Yang Huan laughed. "I am happy to play with anyone who invites me to gamble, but the question now is not whether I dare or not, but what do you have to gamble with me? I don't like any of your players. Do I think I am interested?"
Everyone thought it made sense.
In any bet, there must be chips that both parties want to get.
Now Abramovich wants to get Southampton players, but the problem is that Yang Huan is not interested in Chelsea players.
How is this kind of bet concluded?
"I think you are scared?" Abramovich sneered.
Now the situation is that Manchester United is one goal ahead of Southampton, and Manchester United has the advantage in strength.
So most people basically think that Manchester United has a sure win.
"Afraid? There is no such word in my dictionary!" Yang Huan is also the kind of person who cannot stand provocation.
"Do you dare to take another gamble?" Abramovich pressed on.
Everyone immediately looked at Yang Huan again.
Now that we have been pushed to this point, we can no longer retreat. It would be embarrassing if we retreated further.
The last time the two sides exchanged bets through Pini Zahavi as an intermediary, but this time they were face to face, and the situation was more intense.
"Okay, I'll play another round with you!"
After finishing speaking, Yang Huan immediately opened his chips, "I know that Mr. Abramovich has always wanted to save face. I will give you a chance. If you win, I will return the two players, Matic and Sturridge, to you. But I don't know what Chelsea can give me?"
This is also where Yang Huan is smart.
Frankly speaking, at this point in the game, who dares to say that they are confident?
If Yang Huan was asked to gamble with Neymar or other players, he would be reluctant to do so.
It would be better to just use the two players that were won before as bargaining chips again, so that we won’t feel bad if we lose.
Moreover, this sounds very nice, and no one would suspect that Yang Huan was timid.
"Okay, old rules, two for two, you decide who you want." Abramovich also got angry.
The two of them were talking to each other so openly that everyone in the royal box was excited.
This is all a big gamble!
It is not common to see a gamble of over 10 million pounds!
"I'm really not interested in your players. They are old and highly paid. They are typical high-paid, low-productivity players!"
Abramovich immediately got angry and blurted out, "I'll give you my players and pay your salary!"
Everyone was in an uproar.
It seems that this Russian will not give up until he achieves his goal this time.
But Yang Huan still looked very reluctant, "Even if you do this, I will just be reluctant to take a liking to one of your players."
"who?"
"Drogba!"
"Okay!" Abramovich agreed without hesitation.
"As long as you win, I will give you Drogba and help you pay your salary during the contract period!"
Yang Huan got excited when he heard this, "I agree too, as long as you win, I will pay the salaries of Matic and Sturridge!"
No matter how you calculate this deal, Yang Huan will not lose money.
Because Abramovich couldn't possibly give these two unknown rookies too high a salary unless he wanted the stars in the team to revolt.
But Drogba himself is a top superstar, and it is natural that such a player has a high salary.
"What about the other one?" Abramovich thought about making a bet quickly.
To be honest, he really didn't care about the matter of 30 or 20 million pounds. Who made him so rich?
"I told you, I only like one of you. How about I trade two of you for one?" Yang Huan said with a smile.
What Abramovich hates most is the feeling of being stepped on. "I don't need you to give in. I will trade two for two. It doesn't matter if you don't like my players. If you like someone, I will buy him for you and pay your salary."
Everyone in the box was in an uproar.
It seems that Abramovich is determined to fight to the death today!
But it’s no wonder, everyone wants to fight for this face in front of so many people!
Yang Huan laughed and nodded, "Okay, we have a deal!"
"Then let's ask everyone here, including the prince and princess, to be witnesses!"
"Deal!" Yang Huan made the decision on the spot.
After the two men placed their bets, they ignored each other, said nothing more, and sat down.
"Mr. Yang Huan, are you sure?" Princess Kate turned her head and asked with concern.
This princess who came from a commoner family not only had an outstanding temperament, but was also very approachable, which left a good impression on Yang Huan.
“Not sure!”
"Ah?!" Princess Kate was surprised.
Prince William was also a little surprised. "Why are you betting so much when you are not sure?"
If you do the math, the total amount of bets is at least tens of millions.
"Whether you can win the bet or not is different from whether you dare to bet or not. If I lose the bet, there is nothing I can do. I am not as skilled as others. I admit it. But if I dare not bet, then I am a coward. I, Yang Huan, would never do such a thing!"
Prince William is also a man, he kept nodding as he listened, he could understand.
Sometimes a man just needs to have the courage to catch up even when he knows he is going to lose.
At this moment, he really admired Yang Huan.
At the very least, if it were him, he might not have the courage.
It was also at this moment that he truly regarded Yang Huan as a friend worth making friends with and valuing.
Below the field, Southampton's morale had been severely hit since Manchester United scored a goal.
On the contrary, Manchester United organized several excellent counterattacks and offensives.
Especially Nani on the left was very active.
But Carvajal on Southampton's right is also very stable.
This former Real Madrid youth right-back is good at both offense and defense. In this game, Bielsa gave him the task of defending.
Therefore, when Manchester United's attack was the most fierce, Carvajal performed very well in several one-on-one competitions with Nani.
Nani was frozen and had no performance, but Rafael on the right suddenly made two runs and created threats.
But Southampton also arranged their defense very well.
In the end, the score of one to zero was maintained until the end of the first half.
As soon as the whistle sounded to signal the end of the game, Yang Huan stood up.
Apologized to Prince William and Princess Kate.
"Mr. Yang Huan, you are not trying to deal with the referee?"
Abramovich looked at Yang Huan's back with a sarcastic laugh.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Martin Atkinson is a fan of our Blues. He is always strict in enforcing the law. You can't count on him."
After hearing this, Yang Huan turned around and laughed, "You still have an hour, Mr. Abramovich. I hope that in an hour, you can still laugh like you do now!"
After saying that, Yang Huan turned and left, leaving behind an extremely confident back.
Abramovich's face froze and he felt secretly resentful.
One hour?
Humph, in an hour, let’s see who of us can’t laugh!
