Chapter 275 The Biggest Parallel Import in History

"Hello, Tony. I'm Charlene Lahri, a reporter from the Southern Echo. I want to ask you why you gave up Bayern Munich and chose to join Southampton in the English Championship."

This was the question asked by Charlene Lahiri, the first questioner at the WeChat press conference.

This is also a privilege exclusive to Charlene Lahiri. Everyone knows that she has a close relationship with Southampton.

"It was a very difficult decision to leave Bayern Munich, but I don't think it was that bad to join Southampton."

"Yes, we are a Championship team, but we are also an ambitious team that has just achieved great results. I firmly believe that we can return to the Premier League next year and make a difference in the European arena."

"I am still young, I need more games to train and accumulate more experience. I am willing to grow together with Southampton!"

“That’s why I came to Southampton!”

Toni Kroos's answer was very detailed and his attitude was very good, which made people very satisfied.

Charlene Lahiri's keen intuition unique to women and the nose of a professional journalist made her notice a detail.

When he referred to Southampton, he used us!

This is a detail worth discussing.

Does this mean that he has accepted and started to integrate into the Southampton team?

Charlene Lahiri has never doubted Southampton's cohesion.

Yang Huan has poured a lot of effort and energy into this team, and the most commendable thing is their cohesion!

This cohesion made Southampton very tenacious on the field.

"Hello, Tony, I'm a reporter from Bild. I want to ask you, the 60 million euro transfer fee has set the highest transfer fee record in German football, breaking the fee that Gomez paid to join Bayern Munich."

"What I want to ask is, this is an honor, but also a pressure, what do you think?"

The reporter's questions were also very professional.

Countless young players have failed because they could not bear the pressure of transfer fees.

Is Toni Kroos next?

"I don't know how the two clubs negotiated, but from Southampton's offer, I can feel their sincerity and I am very grateful."

"You are right, this is an honor, but also a pressure, but what I want to say is that I will not think too much about it, I will do my best on the court and show my best side, this is my way to repay Southampton."

"Someone told me not to feel pressured. He firmly believed that I deserved this salary, or even higher. I am very grateful to him. I will work hard to prove that he is right!"

Immediately, a reporter changed the question at the last minute.

"Who is this person? Is it the head coach Bielsa?"

"No, our boss, Mr. Yang Huan."

"Of course, Bielsa also gave me a lot of encouragement and support. He said he knew how to use me well!"

The press conference continues.

"Hello, I want to ask this question to Mr. Marcelo Bielsa."

"Excuse me, many people who have watched the Bundesliga and are familiar with Toni Kroos think that he is a midfielder with more classical characteristics, or even a front midfielder, but in the Premier League, this type of midfielder is generally difficult to adapt to."

"Mr Bielsa, how will you help Toni Kroos integrate into the team?"

This is also the characteristic of this press conference.

In the past, the stars participated alone, but now head coach Bielsa has to accompany them.

This is also the result of the team's comprehensive consideration, to avoid Toni Kroos being unable to control the situation alone.

Another consideration is to clarify to the public that Bielsa does not like Toni Kroos's remarks.

As soon as Bielsa saw that there was a question being asked to him, he immediately thought about it for a moment and then answered it.

"I talked to Tony about this and he impressed me very much. He is a humble kid. At the same time, his hard work and outstanding skills on the training ground make me believe that he is a very promising midfielder in the future."

"We had a very in-depth discussion about the team, tactics and the future. I am confident that he will be able to adapt to the team and the Premier League very quickly."

"Also, I want to remind everyone that his physical fitness is actually not bad!"

Some people in the discussion forum didn't believe it and immediately went to check Tony Cross's information.

My goodness, at 1.82 meters tall and 74 kilograms, she is not very strong, but at least she is not the kind of Daiyu who will fall down if hit.

After all, he is a German player, how bad can his physical fitness be?

"Mr. Bielsa, when Toni Kroos first debuted, many people thought he looked like the German attacking midfielder Schuster. The famous coach Hitzfeld also said that German football had not seen such a talent for a long time. Toni Kroos' idol is the French star Micoud."

"It can be seen that the position that Toni Kroos wants to play most is attacking midfielder. Does this mean that Southampton will use him to fill the vacancy left by captain Adam Lallana?"

Bielsa gave an answer to this question without even thinking about it.

"I'm sorry, I can't reveal the team's tactics, but I can be sure that Toni Kroos and Adam Lallana are two different types. No one can replace the other. Players can only be themselves forever!"

The same question was soon posed to Toni Kroos.

"Bielsa is a great coach and I respect him very much. As for the position, I haven't thought about it yet."

"I have played in many different positions at Bayern, including left winger, attacking midfielder, midfielder and defensive midfielder. I will definitely obey the coach's arrangements."

"What if you were given a choice?" a reporter asked provocatively.

Toni Kroos thought for a moment and said, "Then I hope to stay in the middle!"

The center is like the backbone of a team.

The center of the midfield often represents the core of a team!

Everyone can see that Toni Kroos has great ambitions at Southampton.

Yang Huan was at the headquarters of WeChat and had been paying attention to the WeChat press conference.

The large LCD screen showed that the total number of users attending this press conference had reached more than 7 million, with the largest number of users coming from the United Kingdom and Germany.

"This kid is quite confident!" Yang Huan praised with a smile.

Toni Kroos bravely gave his answers to reporters' provocative questions several times.

This is also what Yang Huan hoped he would do when they chatted last night.

His physical fitness is actually not bad, his skills are also quite outstanding, and his passing vision and overall view are also quite outstanding.

It can be said that except for his poor defensive skills, he is an almost perfect midfield commander.

After only two days of training with him, Bielsa said with certainty that his best position was defensive midfielder.

An organizing midfielder similar to Pirlo and Xabi Alonso.

Interestingly, Toni Kroos is also quite good at set-pieces.

Judging from the current situation of the team, Javi Martinez retreated to center back.

This is something that both Yang Huan and Bielsa agree on.

For another central defender, Gary Cahill, Varane and Nastasic will compete and rotate.

In order to maximize Ibrahimovic's strength, the attacking midfielder was removed and replaced by three midfielders.

Vidal and Stroman occupy one of the positions, and the other position depends on Toni Kroos.

Of course, Matic is pretty good too.

Yang Huan remembered that before the time travel, Matic was introduced by Chelsea in January 2014. As a result, he soared like a rocket in that six months, establishing himself as a first-class or even top midfielder in Europe.

In addition, Isco, Pogba and Schneiderlin are also very powerful.

Judging from Bielsa's arrangement, Toni Kroos will undoubtedly become the core player of the team. He will be given maximum control of the ball and be responsible for the team's midfield and offensive planning.

Therefore, Yang Huan asked Toni Kroos to be braver and more confident so that he could take on this important task.

But just when Yang Huan was satisfied with the progress of the press conference, he smelled something strange.

"It's strange. Why aren't those pissy reporters going crazy today?"

Logically speaking, it's unscientific!

Aren’t those journalists just trying to disgust people in every possible way to gain sales?

Why does today's press conference feel like it's all about love and affection?

Zhu Liangcheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Master Huan, isn't it better if there are no reporters to make things difficult for you?"

Yang Huan curled his lips, "It's good, but it's not satisfying enough!"

These days it's so peaceful and calm that there's no topic. Without topic, who would pay attention?

But as soon as these words were spoken, a reporter immediately got angry.

"Hello, I'm a reporter from the Daily Mail. Many people are worried that with a value of 60 million pounds, you are likely to become the biggest fake in the history of English football. Tony, what do you think?"

When Yang Huan heard this question, he immediately clapped his hands.

"That's great, Daily Mail, I'll remember you!"

He just wanted it and someone immediately delivered it to his door. How thoughtful, isn’t it?

The biggest bust in Premier League history so far is Shevchenko for Chelsea.

Torres' performance has been very poor since he transferred from Liverpool, but he has just arrived and has not admitted that he is a fake.

And even if he is a fake, if Toni Kroos performs poorly, his price tag of 60 million would make him the biggest fake in the history of English football.

Toni Kroos seemed a little angry and only replied with one sentence.

"I will use my performance to disappoint everyone who thinks this way!"

This statement is also very majestic and powerful, awesome!

But in Yang Huan's opinion, he still feels a bit like a good kid.

"If it were me, I would have started to scold him right there, damn, who is the parallel import? You are the parallel import? Your father is a parallel import, your mother is a parallel import, your whole family, young and old, are all parallel imports!"

“That’s the fun!”

Yang Huan laughed and joined in the fun.

Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin standing by had sweat pouring down their faces.

The only one who could do this and offend the media is our Young Master Huan.

Looking across the whole of the UK, how many people have such strength?

"Now, all the elements are in place, the media is going to celebrate!"

He guaranteed that early tomorrow morning, there would be a lot of media and a large number of fans hyping this up.

Even for a long time in the future, they will be waiting anxiously for the moment when Toni Kroos gets unlucky and becomes a fake.

From a certain perspective, this is exactly the attention Southampton wants!

"Old Zhu, Old Wang!"

"Master Huan!" The two men came over immediately.

Yang Huan nodded, "Hurry, get ready. The media will definitely hype this up tomorrow. We have to strike while the iron is hot and send out the promotional video for recruiting members."

"Understood!" They both nodded.

Wang Lin hesitated, but finally asked, "Master Huan, is the membership fee really 100,000 pounds?"

"Nonsense, can what I say be false?"

"But the media says that only fools would join the club."

When Yang Huan heard this, he was not angry but happy instead.

"The person who said this is a fool!"

"But it doesn't matter. Even if they are really fools, I will prove to them that there is no shortage of a thousand fools in this world!"
