Chapter 206 Winning the Championship
Yang Huan was a little surprised by Abramovich's behavior.
After seeing Abramovich's actions, everyone in the audience immediately turned their attention to Yang Huan.
This guy is such a smart old fox!
Anyone who can make it to this point is a shrewd person, none of them are simple.
"Thank you, Mr. Abramovich!" Yang Huan extended his hand very politely.
The two hands were clasped together, which was very polite and gentlemanly.
If it weren't for the people in the box, no one would believe that the owners of these two hands were just fighting each other.
Not to mention they had just completed a bet worth eight figures in pounds.
"I accept the defeat, Mr. Yang Huan!" Abramovich said with a smile.
"No matter what kind of players Southampton want to bring in, I am willing to pay for them and pay their salaries, even if it is top stars like Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. There is no problem."
After he said that, Yang Huan felt a little embarrassed.
With so many eyes watching, if Abramovich really were to use his money to sign Messi, it would only lower his image and status.
It seems as if he couldn't come up with the money and took the opportunity to rip off Abramovich.
Besides, he had no intention of buying Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.
If these two players were really bought, Ibrahimovic would definitely rebel.
"Don't worry, Mr. Abramovich, I'm not interested in these two superstars!" Yang Huan responded with a smile.
Abramovich felt relieved, thinking that Yang Huan's public promise was still worthy of trust.
At least if these superstars are not introduced, he will not be so worried.
But soon, Yang Huan's next words made his mood heavy again.
"But I am still very interested in Drogba. Please remember to inform him to report to Staplewood before the training camp next season. Don't go to the wrong door and go to Cobham!" After saying this, Yang Huan laughed proudly.
Staplewood is Southampton's training base, while Cobham is Chelsea's training base.
Abramovich was in a depressed mood.
Not only did he have to send Drogba to Southampton for free, he also had to help the Saints pay Drogba's salary.
How deceptive is this?
"Oh, by the way, there are also Matic and Sturridge. I am optimistic about these two guys!" Yang Huan reminded again with a smile.
The Russian's expression became even more embarrassed.
Prince William, who was standing by, also had some friendship with Abramovich. When he was pursuing Princess Kate, he even borrowed a yacht from Abramovich. So when he saw that Yang Huan and him showed some signs of reconciliation, he immediately came out to smooth things over.
"Alright, both of you, the awards will be presented soon, get ready!"
Yang Huan smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
Abramovich's face stiffened.
Speaking of awards, Chelsea has won nothing this season, not even a championship.
This made the Russians feel very embarrassed.
Especially in the FA Cup, they were eliminated by Southampton, a League One team!
On the contrary, Yang Huan received constant praise and congratulations from all sides, which made him straighten his back and laugh continuously.
This scene naturally fell into the eyes of some people with ulterior motives.
"Miss, I think he is very happy." Fengjiu had already noticed her future son-in-law in the royal box.
Zhuang Ziqing also had a bright smile on her face, and answered without thinking: "Isn't it good to be happy?"
"I see you seem to be happy for your future son-in-law!"
Zhuang Ziqing blushed and glared at her unhappily, "Who said that?"
After a pause, he stammered, "I...I won money."
"Aren't you happy about winning money?" Zhuang Ziqing asked back.
Fengjiu didn't comment, she knew what was going on.
His sight moved down from the royal box and soon fell on Long Wu behind Zhang Ning and Lin Yuna.
They both saw each other long ago.
Fengjiu's eyes were filled with a hint of provocation; she had always longed to have a fight with Long Wu.
As long as they can kill Long Wu, the Phoenix Group will be greatly proud.
Long Wu and Feng Jiu were just a drop in the ocean in the Wembley Stadium which was packed with tens of thousands of fans.
More fans still focused their attention on the field.
After Southampton defeated Manchester United and won the championship, they ran around the field in excitement.
Afterwards, they gathered on the sidelines and accepted interviews from the media.
"Excuse me Zlatan, how do you feel after winning the championship?"
A reporter pointed the microphone at Ibrahimovic.
The Swedish center was still very excited and kept laughing.
"I'm very happy. Although I have won many championships, the one I won tonight is the one that makes me happiest. I have a great sense of accomplishment because we have created a miracle that no one else has created!"
The reporter nodded heavily. "Yes, in the 100-year history of English football, no team from the third-tier league has ever won the FA Cup, but Southampton did it."
"Let me ask you again, Zlatan, what do you want to say most now? Who do you want to thank?"
"I definitely want to thank my family the most, and then everyone in the club, my teammates, our coaches, and all the staff, but the one I want to thank the most is our boss, Mr. Yang Huan!"
“He’s a very, very amazing and at the same time a very great club operator!”
"As for what I want to say most, I want to say to all Southampton fans, it's just an FA Cup, don't be too happy, otherwise when we are promoted to the Premier League this time next year, or when we win other more important championships, what will we do?"
At this point, all the reporters around and Ibrahimovic himself couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"At the same time, I also want to say that a year ago many people doubted why I joined Southampton. I believe that one year later, I have given the first answer, but this is just the beginning. I am eager to make a career in Southampton, just like Maradona did in Naples!"
The Swedish center's bold words aroused the admiration of many people.
"Zlatan, Southampton will be playing in the Europa League next year, what are your expectations?"
Ibrahimovic seemed very confident. "Although we are a second-tier league team, we beat Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United. I want to say that our strength is not worse than the Premier League teams, or even the European giants."
"Many people think that our participation in the Europa League is more of a show, but I think we should be more ambitious and look further ahead."
At this point, Ibrahimovic smiled proudly and pointed to the golden FA Cup trophy in the front row of the royal box, "Who said we don't have the strength to win the championship?"
The same interviews were also conducted throughout the comprehensive interview area.
Almost all Southampton players have become media darlings, especially several star players.
"Neymar, congratulations on being included in the Brazil national team's America's Cup squad. However, many people think that you should prove yourself on a better stage that can motivate you to improve and improve yourself. What do you think?"
Neymar shook his head. "I am very happy in Southampton. I have made great progress here."
"It always takes a long time for Brazilian players to adapt to English football, but I am very happy that I have adapted well. I am obviously stronger and more efficient than a year ago. I feel that I have integrated into the team."
"Next season, fans will see an even better Neymar!"
"Have you ever thought about leaving?" The reporter still didn't let him go.
"No!"
"Even if super clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid invite you, you won't go?"
Neymar was a little hesitant now, but still shook his head, "At least I won't consider it for now!"
Not far from Neymar, British reporters surrounded the young player Chamberlain.
"Hello, Alex. Many Premier League teams, including Ferguson, Wenger, Dalglish and other Premier League giants, have clearly expressed their interest in you. Would you consider leaving Southampton and accepting the challenge of the Premier League?"
Chamberlain hesitated, a little shy, "I haven't received any invitation in this regard."
"What if there is? Will you accept it?" the reporter asked further.
Chamberlain hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know!"
As if he was afraid of further questioning from the media, he apologized, found an excuse, and left the comprehensive interview area.
This surprised many reporters present and also gave rise to an association.
He feels guilty!
But it’s no wonder, Southampton has a bright future, but that’s just the future.
But now the teams interested in Chamberlain are all the top giants in England.
Ferguson personally said that he would bring in Chamberlain in the summer transfer window, and Dalglish also favored Chamberlain. Wenger even said that Chamberlain had the potential to become the best player in England.
Faced with such praise, which young player would not be tempted?
…………
…………
When the team captain Adam Lallana and his teammates climbed the more than 100 steps and entered the royal box.
The whole audience was shocked.
As soon as the players entered the royal box, they immediately saw Yang Huan standing next to Prince William and his wife.
"Master Huan!"
"Hello, Master Huan!"
"We won, Master Huan!"
Yang Huan was in a good mood and shook hands and hugged them one by one.
"Well done, next season we will advance to the Championship and try our hand at European competitions!"
Yang Huan was so excited that he waved his hand and said, "The world will be turned upside down!"
"Well, well said, Master Huan!"
"We all followed you!"
"Those bastards in the Championship are in big trouble!"
"Haha, let's go to the European competition and see who is unlucky enough to meet us. We will kill them!"
The people in the royal box were all frowning and sweating profusely as they watched.
Is this like a football team?
No, rather, they look like a group of fearless warriors!
But the problem is, when watching them play, they look like a pack of wolves.
A group of hungry wolves!
There is no doubt that the football field is a war without the smoke of gunpowder, and only the most ruthless and brave people can win.
Southampton used to give people the impression of being restrained and reserved.
But now, the style of this team has completely changed.
Yang Huan came, Bielsa came, and these two madmen injected crazy blood into the team.
More importantly, it brought a wolfish nature.
Watching them beat Manchester United to death on the field was a very satisfying but also awe-inspiring feeling.
The success of this team is not accidental, it would be strange if it failed.
"Congratulations, brave Southampton warriors!" Prince William shook hands with the Southampton players one by one.
Southampton's players approached the FA Cup trophy which was placed in front of Prince William and Kate.
This was the first time that the Saints stepped onto the podium at Wembley Stadium. When captain Adam Lallana saw the trophy, he was so nervous that he wanted to take it away, but was stopped by David Bernstein.
This was immediately greeted with a burst of good-natured laughter all around.
"Your people should stand in two rows around the trophy. When the prince and princess hold the trophy, you and your teammates will receive it!"
This is to allow all the reporters and cameras below to capture it.
This is no longer just an awards ceremony, it's more like a show.
In the end, Adam Lallana and Ibrahimovic stood in front of the trophy on the left and right.
The Southampton players stood in the aisle in two rows on the left and right.
When Adam Lallana and Ibrahimovic received the championship trophy from Prince William and his wife, the entire Wembley Stadium erupted in thunderous cheers.
All Saints fans sang the team anthem and "We Are the Champions" again to celebrate the championship.
Colorful paper is all over the sky, falling slowly.
Southampton players raised their arms high and held up the FA Cup trophy.
This scene was captured by countless reporters.
It also brought a perfect end to Southampton's season.
