Chapter 22 Only One Last Solution
After Charlene Lahri sent Yang Huan away, she did not feel any resentment in her heart, but instead felt relieved.
There is even a hint of gratitude.
She took some precious photos and believed that she could hand in the work well.
Not long after she walked back to the terminal hall, two veteran employees of the newspaper, John and William, finally found her.
"I say, why are you still here? It's almost ten o'clock now, where are you?" John asked angrily.
"Yeah, didn't you say it was 9:20? Now it's already past that time, and you still haven't found the person? How are we going to report back?"
William's first thought was to shirk responsibility. "Anyway, I don't care. We are just here to help you. If you don't get the information, go back and find a way to explain it to the editor-in-chief. It has nothing to do with us."
"What does it have to do with us? Maybe it was just an intelligence error on her part. There are so many such things. Just learn a lesson from it. It's best not to try to be in the limelight next time." John also followed suit and taught Charlene a lesson.
Charlene Lahiri looked at her two colleagues with her amber eyes. She could see from their faces that they were not looking for anyone at all. Maybe they were hiding somewhere to eat something secretly, or drink coffee. There were still some stains at the corners of their mouths.
But she didn't point it out, because she was new and had no qualifications at all.
"I have taken photos, absolutely exclusive inside information." After saying that, Charlene said no more, turned around gracefully, and said, "Let's go back." She also walked towards the parking lot.
John and William looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Did you really take the photo?
How did you take the photo?
This is impossible!
But Charlene was so confident, how could they refute her?
The two immediately chased after him.
"Charlene, it was really photographed, who was it?"
"Yeah, who is Southampton's new head coach?"
Charlene Lahiri was more cautious. She didn't want too many people to know about it, fearing that the news would leak out and she would lose this rare and exclusive information. "Go ask the editor-in-chief yourself when you get back."
John and William were stunned again, and they saw the anger in each other's eyes.
"Humph, isn't it just an exclusive report? Is there any need to be so arrogant?"
"You always use the editor-in-chief to pressure us? Sooner or later, I'll have the chance to teach you a lesson!"
"This woman is so beautiful. We have to have enough fun with her before we teach her a lesson."
"Hehe, of course. It would be best if she kneels down and begs for mercy."
Although Charlene did not hear what the two men behind her were saying, she could sense ill intentions from their eyes and laughter, and her disgust for them grew even stronger.
In comparison, she really felt that Yang Huan was not that annoying.
At least this person is not vulgar.

Ha Qiu!
In a Bentley driving from London to Southampton, Yang Huan sneezed loudly.
"It must be that damn girl who is scolding me. I must find a chance to take revenge!"
Yang Huan wiped his nose with a tissue and said indignantly.
Isn't it just asking a few questions about my daughter's privacy? Is there a need to be so vindictive?
He didn't know that he had really wronged Charlene Lahiri.
The whole process of picking up people was actually part of Yang Huan and Sun Yue's plan. No one else saw it except Charlene Lahiri.
As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. If you want the media to hype and publicize your product, you have to give them some benefits first and reveal some clues to them. Otherwise, who would be interested in knowing who the head coach of your English League One team is?
Charlene Lahiri is undoubtedly the flaw that Yang Huan deliberately wanted to expose to the British and European media.
With Charlene Lahiri's exclusive insider information, more and more media will begin to pay attention, explore and dig into whether Bielsa really wants to coach Southampton and what reasons made Bielsa make such an amazing choice?
And the media attention will also bring rewards to Southampton.
At least now, several companies have expressed their intention to sponsor Southampton's jersey advertisements for the new season.
But Yang Huan was not in a hurry, because he still had some killer moves that he hadn't used yet!
As for when he launches his killer move, he must dig out all of Charlene Lahiri's privacy.
This is no exception for Yang Huan.
"Marcelo, I have an appointment with Ibrahimovic's agent. Are you interested?"
It had been heard before that Yang Huan wanted to introduce Ibrahimovic. Although Bielsa felt that the possibility was slim, he was still very interested. However, he felt a headache when it came to contacting the agent.
"No, I prefer the stadium and training ground." Bielsa shook his head.
Yang Huan nodded and said "hmm", but didn't say anything more. He knew that Bielsa was a person who didn't like to be long-winded.
"Some of your assistants have arrived ahead of time. I'll have someone take you to Staplewood to meet them later."
Bielsa agreed without saying much. He just turned his head to look out the window, as if thinking about something.
This time, the coaching team that the Argentine head coach brought to Southampton only has three people, but they are all very experienced coaches. Among them, chief assistant coach Luis Borini has followed Bielsa for many years and is responsible for the implementation of specific training programs. He is very good at physical training, player management and motivating team morale.
The 42-year-old Argentine coach Claudio Vivas is a typical Bielsa follower. In the past few years, he has been serving as an assistant in mid- and lower-level teams in mainstream European leagues and is very familiar with continental European football. But Bielsa only said one sentence to dig him out of Santander Racing and bring him to Southampton.
It is said that Claudio Vivas is very good at training team tactics, especially offensive tactics.
The last one is also the youngest, only 28 years old, the Argentine Pablo Queiroga, but he has been following the Argentine madman since Bielsa coached Chile. He has his own unique way of physical training, which fits Bielsa's tactical style very well and is favored by the Argentine madman.
Bielsa himself is a very versatile head coach, so he does not have high requirements for his assistants, but his three major assistants are also not simple, and each has his own specialties.
In addition to these three assistants, Yang Huan plans to implement the European continental system in Southampton, which inevitably involves the reform of youth training, so he poached two youth training experts from Boca Juniors through Bielsa.
The 75-year-old Argentine Jorge Bernardo Griffa was the defensive core of Atletico Madrid's La Liga title win in the 65/66 season. He is the head coach of Boca Juniors' youth team and has decades of experience in training young players. He is regarded as Boca Juniors' most valuable youth training asset.
Seventy-year-old Ramon Madoni, a good friend of Jorge Griffa and the chief scout of Boca Juniors, has selected many stars including Tevez, Riquelme, Cambiasso and Gago under his keen eye.
After arriving at Southampton, these two youth training experts will act as consultants. Griffa will assist Bielsa in implementing youth training reforms in Southampton, while Madoni will help reorganize Southampton's scouting system.
From the current perspective, Southampton will usher in a strong Argentine football flavor.
This was also a decision Yang Huan made after careful consideration.
As two of the world's two major football kingdoms, Brazilian stars have always been very creative and spiritual, but Brazilian players are not as good as Argentine players in adapting to European professional leagues.
From this point it is not difficult to see that Argentina's youth training model is more suitable for Southampton.
Even Barcelona, the most dazzling team in today's football, has a strong Argentine youth training flavor behind its entire youth training system, in addition to the profound Dutch football imprint. This has a lot to do with the fact that Cruyff once had an in-depth understanding of Argentine football and youth training.
"Let me tell you something first."
The Bentley was driving on the highway, Bielsa suddenly turned his head and spoke to Yang Huan on the other side.
"What's the matter?" Yang Huan was a little surprised and puzzled.
This guy is always weird and his thoughts are very jumpy.
"The time is too tight. It may be difficult for the players to adapt to my tactics at the beginning of the new season. I need some time."
Bielsa looked at Yang Huan, the Argentine who looked like a scholar, as if he wanted to find something from Yang Huan's eyes, or perhaps he had been looking for something called trust.
Yang Huan smiled and didn't think much about it, "I understand, just go for it, even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up!"
Bielsa looked at Yang Huan deeply again and smiled, "If you want to recruit players, give priority to the central axis, especially the back, the deep midfielder, the central defender and the goalkeeper."
"Any requests?" Yang Huan asked.
"The deep-lying midfielder should be good at defense and cover a larger area, such as Liverpool's Mascherano, but Schneiderlin is also enough. The central defender should be the type who can pass the ball. The goalkeeper needs to cover a larger area and be good at attacking, because I will push the defense forward."
Bielsa's signature tactic is to press the defense forward, with high-intensity pressure and pressing in the midfield and frontcourt, which is his famous skill.
It is said that Guardiola once sought advice from him before coaching Barcelona.
"What about the wing?" Yang Huan asked again.
"For full-backs, their main focus is to get in and participate in the attack, so speed is very important."
At this point, Bielsa calculated the time and realized that it would soon be August, so the transfer operation was somewhat urgent.
"If there is not enough time, there is no need to introduce so many positions at once."
Yang Huan nodded lightly. In fact, the transfer operation had already been carried out after he completed the acquisition of Southampton. In the next period of time, he will do his best to bring a star to Southampton.
He believed that with Bielsa in charge and the squad he had assembled, if Southampton could not be promoted, then he should really go and bang his head against the wall!

While Yang Huan and Bielsa were discussing the team's signings, Alan Pardew was also at home in the Wimbledon area of London, anxiously discussing something with his assistants.
Almost all British newspapers published the news today that Southampton will sue Alan Pardew!
The football industry has always had an unspoken rule of self-regulation, and it is very rare to involve government judicial organs. Even when Redknapp and others were involved in a case of accepting illegal funds, no government agencies were involved.
Southampton's counterattack undoubtedly surprised Alan Pardew and others, and made them feel at a loss.
"What should we do? What should we do?" Alan Padu couldn't sit or stand, and asked in an almost roaring tone.
Yesterday, he was still a hero in the eyes of British fans, but early this morning, he was completely reduced to a bear.
A hypocritical and shameless bear!
At that time, he just wanted to vent his anger, but he didn't expect things to turn out like this.
"I've asked a lawyer," one of the assistants raised his head, now also looking worried, "If we really go to court, we will definitely lose. There is no chance of winning at all."
Alan Padew had an urge to go crazy. He regretted it very much now. He regretted why he was so stupid to do such a thing and be caught by others.
Early this morning, the entire British media began to condemn his behavior, and his reputation was completely ruined.
The possibility of continuing to coach a professional team in the future is very slim.
But these are not what he is worried about. He is only worried about one thing now: what should he do if he is really sued?
"The lawyer also said that we only have one last resort."
"What method?" Alan Padew asked quickly.
