Chapter 293 Anyway I Believe
When Yang Huan, Zhuang Ziqing, Long Wu and Feng Jiu walked onto the chairman's stand at Wembley Stadium, the entire stadium was already crowded with people and the noise was deafening.
Wembley Stadium, which can accommodate 90,000 fans, was almost full.
When Yang Huan appeared in the stands, he was immediately noticed by the Saints fans at the scene. All of a sudden, all 40,000 Saints fans in the stadium were shouting Yang Huan's name, which shows how popular he is in this team.
And what about Yang Huan?
He just smiled calmly, waved to the fans around him, and walked away.
"Master Huan! Miss Zhuang!"
Sun Yue and Nicola Cortes both came forward.
When they saw Zhuang Ziqing, they were all a little surprised.
The last time I saw her, she came to work, but now she is about to become my own boss.
"All the members are here, you should make arrangements quickly!" Yang Huan instructed.
Sun Yue and the other man immediately nodded in agreement.
"Master Huan, Mr. Bernstein just told me to invite you to the royal box."
Yang Huan laughed, "I guess Abramovich might be thinking about me!"
Sun Yue and Nicola Cortes both smiled.
It's so unlucky for Abramovich to have met our Young Master Huan!
Yang Huan took Zhuang Ziqing along the grandstand aisle and went directly to the royal box.
As soon as he appeared, he started looking around.
As a result, there was no trace of Abramovich.
"What are you looking for?" As soon as Prince William saw him, he immediately stood up and waved with a smile.
"Come, there's room here!"
Yang Huan walked over with a smile.
Prince William and the other men in the box were all amazed when they saw Zhuang Ziqing coming out of the corridor.
When I met Zhang Ning before, I thought she was extremely beautiful, rare in the world.
But who could have thought that another Zhuang Ziqing would appear so soon, who was equally beautiful and elegant.
In fact, many people present had seen her at the Duke of Westminster's previous banquet.
But seeing her at night is charming, and seeing her during the day makes her look even more graceful.
"Brother, you are really awesome. Did you really catch up?"
While shaking hands with Yang Huan, Prince William whispered some gossip.
Awesome!
When they met for the first time that night, he gave her a piece of jewelry worth 10 million pounds.
In the blink of an eye, they even put on couple outfits.
I can't help but admire him!
"Are you impressed?" Yang Huan smiled, feeling very proud.
"I admire you!" Prince William was really impressed.
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're so afraid of your wife. Do you want me to teach you a few tricks? I guarantee you'll make my apprentice completely obedient. If you ask her to sit, she won't dare to stand. If you ask her to go east, she won't dare to go west."
When Prince William heard this, he frowned and asked, "Is it okay?"
"Okay, why not?"
Suddenly a voice came from behind, scaring him so much that he trembled all over.
"No, I'm scolding him. Is that reasonable? Where in the world can there be a man who is afraid of his wife? I'm respecting my wife. Do you know what respect means?" While saying this, the guy winked at Yang Huan.
It was as if he was saying, Boss, I'm just here to make things look good, don't ruin my show!
Yang Huan sighed in his heart, what a useless guy!
No wonder. It is said that Princess Kate performed much better than him in school. It was only after a long time of hard pursuit that our Prince William finally got her. I'm afraid it's only natural.
Zhuang Ziqing looked at Prince William as if he was playing a face-changing game, which was very funny.
"He is afraid of your senior sister. If your senior sister stomps her feet, his legs will definitely go weak!" Yang Huan said with a smile.
Prince William is busy saying nice things to Princess Kate.
This was the first time Zhuang Ziqing heard that when the two appeared in public, they always acted respectful to each other.
I didn't expect that he would be like this in private.
"Mr. Yang Huan!"
At this time, an old man in his sixties with white hair came over.
"Hey, Chairman!" Yang Huan stood up immediately.
Isn’t it the English Football Association Chairman David Bernstein?
"Mr. Yang Huan, many people have told me today that your new Southampton jerseys violate the rules."
"Violation of the rules?" Yang Huan pretended to be dumbfounded. "How is it against the rules?"
David Bernstein knew in his heart that he had already done this, but he could never admit it, right?
If you admit it, doesn't that mean you will be punished with thirty lashes before the case is even tried?
"The main problem is the sponsor. You now have logos on the cuffs, the back collar, and both sides of the hem. It's too commercial."
Yang Huan was delighted when he heard this. "Chairman, without these commercial sponsorship incomes, how can we support so many stars?"
"Someone revealed that your so-called sponsors are actually your own companies, especially the Chiron family, who sponsored the cuffs of your jerseys for 30 million pounds for no reason. How can anyone believe it?"
Yang Huan curled his lips, "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway!"
David Bernstein smiled bitterly. He knew that he had no way of convincing this young master.
Who can blame them for being so rich?
Moreover, it is really difficult to say about sponsorship, and it is difficult to investigate, time-consuming, laborious, and thankless.
If you really want to make a fuss, then look at Manchester City. Is such a high sponsorship fee reasonable?
It's unreasonable, everyone knows there is a problem.
But if you really want to check, they have a contract and everything is done according to the rules, so what can you find out?
Besides, on the one hand you want financial health, but on the other hand you don't allow people to manipulate things behind the scenes. If you have the final say on everything, the team will definitely not accept that.
If we really want to investigate, which team in the Premier League or even the entire European professional football world has no problems with its finances and operations?
However, as usual, I still have to say something.
"Chairman, in our lower-level leagues, there seems to be no restriction that we cannot advertise on jerseys?"
David Bernstein nodded. "There is no written rule."
"That's fine. We've been very low-key. Look at how small the logos are."
David Bernstein smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Well, I'm just saying this. You guys should pay attention."
"Don't worry, I understand!" Yang Huan smiled and nodded in agreement.
What he actually meant was, I have already talked to you about this, if things get really bad, we will inevitably have to make some gestures, so you must not be stubborn, just cooperate with us and things will be over!
In fact, due to the high attention paid to Southampton, the English Football Association has also benefited a lot.
This season's League Cup and FA Cup have both been very popular, with the Championship having secured the highest league title sponsorship in recent years, and the Community Shield being broadcast live in more than 100 countries around the world.
These are a huge bargain!
Without Southampton, everything would be a big discount!
"What's the matter?" Zhuang Ziqing was a little surprised. She didn't quite understand.
"Nothing!" Yang Huan smiled proudly.
"I don't know where this turtle bastard came from. He's been picking on us and causing trouble for us all day long. If I find out, I'll throw him into a gay bar to pick up soap!"

Ha Qiu!
In the North Dressing Room at Wembley Stadium, Ferguson had a severe sniffle.
The old Scottish man rubbed his scarlet rosacea and cursed.
"You sneezed for no reason. Damn it, someone must be saying bad things about me behind my back. What I despise most is people who gossip behind my back!"
When he said this, assistant coach Mike Perrin, who was standing next to him, was watching his face and trying hard to hold back his laughter.
I don't know who reported to the English Football Association that Southampton's jerseys were in violation of regulations.
But he didn't dare say this, otherwise, the old man would definitely skin him alive and pull out his tendons.
"How are the preparations going?" Ferguson stood up.
"The players are all back, waiting for your lecture!"
Ferguson nodded heavily, walked out of the coaches' lounge and into the players' locker room.
The eleven starting Manchester United players looked up when they saw Ferguson.
The goalkeeper is De Gea, who just transferred from Atletico Madrid in Spain in the new season.
The Spanish goalkeeper is tall but thin. He took over from Van der Sar and is under a lot of pressure.
The back line is Evra, Evans, Ferdinand and Smalling.
The central midfield partnership is Carrick and Cleverley.
The two wingers, Ashley Young who just joined this season is on the left, and Nani is on the right.
The two forwards are Rooney and Welbeck.
This lineup is the strongest lineup Ferguson has assembled after leaving aside the injured players.
They performed best in a series of warm-up matches in the United States during the summer, which led to Manchester United's five consecutive wins.
As Ferguson walked over, everyone's eyes fell on him.
The Scottish coach is experienced and knows exactly what to do at this time.
"Last season, on this stadium and in this locker room, many of you were licking your wounds of failure. I believe you have not forgotten it!"
No one said a word, but from the looks in their eyes, one could tell that they were all recalling the FA Cup final three months ago.
"In that battle, we lost. Not only did we lose the FA Cup, we also lost our dream of winning the treble, and we also lost the subsequent European Champions League. At the same time, we also lost our dignity and spirit as a strong team!"
Ferguson was talking with saliva flying around, looking extremely excited.
The players were obviously moved by him and became excited one by one.
"After that game, we became the laughing stock of everyone. When they mentioned Manchester United, they said we were a loser team that lost to a League One team. They said you guys are not worthy of wearing Manchester United jerseys. You are the shame of Manchester United!"
Ferguson's roar made the eleven players even more excited.
"I want to tell you that the rules and dignity on the football field must be fought back with one victory after another!"
Everyone felt the power of Ferguson's every word.
"I am very grateful to God. He arranged the first official game of the new season for Southampton. He gave us a chance to get revenge. This time, we will use a victory to regain our dignity!"
"We want to use a victory to tell all those who laugh at us that we are the Red Devils Manchester United!"
All the players kept nodding their heads, obviously motivated by Ferguson.
"Our opponent is a team from a lower league. We have already lost once. This time, it is our last chance!"
"If we lose this game again, I believe you will know the consequences better than me!"
"This is a game I can't afford to lose. I just want to win, not lose!"
Ferguson almost shouted the last sentence, shocking all the players.
This is his signature hair dryer lecture!
Every player looked up and looked at Ferguson.
The old Scottish coach had a determined look on his face.
His players also looked determined!
This battle is their do-or-die battle, they can only win, not lose!
