Chapter 347 Bonuses are given out!

"Mr. Yang Huan!"

When Yang Huan, Zhuang Ziqing and others left the rostrum and entered the VIP lounge behind the stands of Wembley Stadium, they saw English Football Association Chairman David Bernstein and Howard Wilkinson walking towards them with smiles on their faces.

The two had obviously just finished presenting the championship trophy in the royal box!

"Hello, Mr. Bernstein, Howard!" Yang smiled and shook hands with the two men one after another.

Howard Wilkinson was most familiar with Yang Huan. He obviously noticed Zhuang Ziqing behind Yang Huan and smiled amusingly.

"Master Huan, would you like to introduce yourself?"

David Bernstein was also laughing. This white-haired old man is actually a pretty nice person in private.

"My fiancée, Zhuang Ziqing!" Yang Huan introduced with a smile.

"Hello, Miss Zhuang!"

"Ms. Zhuang, you are the most beautiful Chinese person I have ever seen. Master Huan is so lucky!"

"Thank you!" Zhuang Ziqing responded with a very reserved smile.

The three of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, and it was a rare occasion for them to meet, so they stood in the aisle of the rest area and started chatting.

Seeing them chatting, Zhuang Ziqing said something to Yang Huan, and left with her brother and Feng Jiu, saying that she would wait for him outside.

"If I had known you were here, I would have invited you to the royal box!" Wilkinson said with a smile.

David Bernstein looked amused. "Before the game, the owner of Cardiff City vowed that the team could fight against Southampton. But as soon as the game started, they lost the ball in the first minute and lost four goals in the first half. He was so angry that he couldn't even speak!"

It cannot be said that Cardiff is too weak.

This season's Championship is hailed as the most competitive season in history.

But even in such a tragic season, Southampton still achieved the highest league points in the same period in history.

After all, Southampton is too strong!

"Fortunately, he didn't blame our jerseys for the loss like Ferguson did!"

When David Bernstein and Wilkinson heard this, they burst into laughter.

This young master is still talking about this matter. Come to think of it, Ferguson must be quite depressed!

Isn't it just a casual complaint?

"He admitted defeat with a clear conscience, but speaking of jerseys, we have also received some protests recently. You still have to be prepared. The Premier League has clear regulations. If you fail to pass it, it will be very troublesome!" David Bernstein advised.

To be honest, Yang Huan's taking over of Southampton has directly brought huge profits to the English Football Association.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just the FA made a lot of money from the FA Cup, League Cup and Community Shield competitions in the past two seasons.

And the extra profit came from Southampton.

"What's the trouble?" Yang Huan sneered, "If they don't let us play in the Premier League, we can just pack up and come back to play in the Championship. Who's afraid of who?"

David Bernstein and Howard Wilkinson looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time.

Is it possible to do this?

Why don’t you want to play in the Premier League and come back to play in the Championship?

You know, the share of the Premier League for a season is at least 50 to 60 million pounds, and you don’t want it?

In their opinion, what Master Huan said were all decent words.

Anyway, everyone just needs to know about this kind of thing!

"But speaking of the Premier League, the situation of Premier League teams this season is not ideal!" Wilkinson said with a sigh.

Yang Huan frowned, "What's the matter?"

"You haven't received the latest news about the European war yet?"

Yang Huan nodded.

"Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea, four top teams, participated in the Champions League. Manchester City and Manchester United were eliminated in the group stage and fell into the Europa League, while Arsenal and Chelsea entered the round of 16!"

"Well, it looks like the first round of the round of 16 knockout round will be tonight!"

David Bernstein shook his head and smiled bitterly, "That's right, Arsenal faced AC Milan, but ended up losing 0-4 at the San Siro Stadium!"

Yang Huan didn't remember what the score was in his previous life, but when he heard this score now, he was shocked.

The decline of Serie A is well known to everyone, and now there is even talk that it has fallen to the fourth league.

But Arsenal actually lost like this away from home, it's such a shame for the Premier League!

"Chelsea drew Napoli. Everyone had high hopes for them, but in the end, they lost 0-3 away from home!"

Wilkinson also looked disappointed.

Once upon a time, Premier League teams were very competitive in European competitions, even occupying three of the top four spots on several occasions.

But now, they were beaten so badly by a team from the Serie A, it's really sad!

"Judging from the results of the first round of the knockout stage, the possibility of Arsenal and Chelsea advancing is almost gone, very slim!"

After listening to Wilkinson's words, Yang Huan also expressed his agreement.

Although it was an away game, the team lost so badly that it would be extremely difficult to equalize the score at home.

"So, now we can only rely on the Europa League to save face!"

In fact, England’s performance in the Europa League is not ideal either.

Manchester City and Manchester United were the third place winners of the Champions League group stage and advanced directly to the knockout stage.

But several other English teams failed to advance from the qualifiers and group stages.

Only Southampton!

"So now the entire English football industry is pinning its hopes on Manchester City, Manchester United, and you!"

Yang Huan didn't quite agree with what Wilkinson said.

Will industry insiders place their hopes on Southampton?

How is that possible!

They should be looking forward to the performance of Manchester United and Manchester City in the Europa League!

As for Southampton, advancing to the knockout stage is already an overperformance!

In the Europa League round of 16, the Saints' opponent was Valencia from La Liga.

The Bats are currently ranked third in the La Liga and are extremely strong and should not be underestimated.

Manchester United's opponent is Athletic Bilbao, and Manchester City's opponent is Sporting Lisbon of the Portuguese Super League.

All three English teams encountered strong opponents!

But relatively speaking, Southampton is undoubtedly the least favored.

Who made the Saints a second-tier league team?

Anyone who says that he is optimistic about the Saints will probably be laughed to death!

Yang Huan didn't say anything verbally, but he was secretly calculating in his heart.

What industry insiders?

It's all a bunch of shit!

With the English Championship already secured and a League Cup title secured, ensuring that they will be able to participate in European competitions next season, Southampton’s next focus will be the Europa League!

We must strive to make a breakthrough in the European arena!

It would be best if all the Premier League teams were defeated, so that we, Southampton, can show our power!

…………

…………

There was a long convoy of cars traveling on the motorway from London to Southampton.

With the headlights on, from a distance it looks like a winding dragon of lights.

Walking in the front was a luxury bus.

In the pitch-black night, you can’t see the body of the car, nor can you see what’s going on inside the car.

But from inside the car, you can clearly see the scenery along the way outside the car rapidly receding.

After a 90-minute final, the players were all tired and exhausted.

But as soon as they took a look at the League Cup trophy in the front of the carriage, they all became excited again.

The championship trophy is the highest reward for professional players’ hard work!

The carriage was dark and everyone was resting.

Some were listening to music, some were sleeping with their eyes closed, and some were playing with their mobile phones, each doing their own thing.

Until suddenly, a ding sound was heard, which made people's hearts skip a beat.

Damn the information sound!

But soon, there was another ding!

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

Message alert sounds kept coming out one after another, some from Apple phones and some from Android phones.

This made everyone in the car feel strange.

"Hey, the bonus is here!" Someone suddenly shouted in the dark carriage.

"Yes, bonuses are given!"

“Is this true or false?”

"Information, just read the information yourself!"

“Mine has been sent too!”

"Wow, isn't this too efficient? The competition just ended and the prize money has already been distributed?"

"Haha, no wonder Master Huan asked us to discuss the bonus distribution in the locker room just now. It turns out that the bonus will be distributed soon!"

"This bonus was transferred directly to our company account to avoid taxes!"

"That's awesome! What on earth did Young Master Huan use?"

"Master Huan is a man of few words. He does what he says. It's really hard to disobey him!"

"Yeah, where in the world can you find such a good boss?"

"Four million pounds? They give it out as soon as they say it, that's awesome!"

There was a burst of amazed and applauded sounds in the carriage.

Matthew Le Tissier, who was sitting in the front row of the bus, received a phone call at this time. Then he stood up, asked the driver to turn on the car lights, and then clapped his hands vigorously.

"Everyone, according to the bonus distribution plan we agreed on earlier, the money has been transferred. Let's check to see if the amount is correct!"

"right!"

"I'm not wrong here!"

"Yeah, I'm not wrong either!"

"I have more, it seems to make it a whole number!"

"Haha, then you have to treat me!"

"Yes, I got a lot of bonus, so I have to treat you all!"

"Get away from me, I gave you a few extra bucks, it's my treat, it should be at least a few thousand pounds!"

"Haha, who told you to give me more bonuses?"

Matthew Le Tissier raised his hand again, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone, Master Huan just called and has a message for everyone!"

When everyone heard this, they suddenly became quiet and looked at the leader.

"Both Arsenal and Chelsea suffered crushing defeats in the Champions League round of 16. Their hopes of advancing are slim. Just now, the chairman of the English Football Association said that there is no hope for the Champions League. The next step is the Europa League!"

"You are not only carrying the expectations of Southampton fans, but also the hopes of the entire English football!"

After hearing this, everyone raised their heads, straightened their chests, and shrunk their stomachs, feeling much more majestic.

When did English fans start placing their hopes on a Championship team?

This has always been the treatment given to top Premier League teams!

"We have already distributed the bonus for winning the League Cup. Master Huan said that this is a small amount. If we win the Europa League, the team will give everyone the bonus of more than 6 million pounds, plus the extra 100,000 pounds of betting bonus promised before!"

Everyone in the car was stunned when they heard this.

Southampton's odds in the Europa League are more than 80 times, which is more than 8 million pounds.

Add to that the prize money of more than 6 million pounds for winning the championship, that would be nearly 15 million pounds!

Oh my god!

With this calculation, everyone can get hundreds of thousands!

It’s even higher than many people’s annual salary!

It's scary, isn't it?

“I believe that no one will doubt Master Huan’s promise, so I hope that everyone can do their best to defeat their opponents in the upcoming games, especially in the Europa League!”

Many people did not hear clearly the last sentence of Matthew Le Tissier.

Because their minds are full of calculations about how much money they can get.

A prize of 15 million pounds!

This is even more than the bonuses that those top teams get for winning the Champions League!

It's incredible!

If this gets out, won't all the football stars in the world be defeated?

Which team in the world can offer such a generous bonus?

Young Master Huan has made such an amazing promise, can we not fight for our lives?

no!

Absolutely not!

“We fought hard!”

I don’t know who shouted first in the dark carriage.

"Yes, we fought!"

"That's right. Master Huan is so good to us. If we don't fight, are we still human beings?"

"Whether you win or lose, just fight first!"

"Okay, let's do it. No matter who our opponent is, we'll just go all out and fight!"

"Let's fight, let's fight!"
