Chapter 378 This is a conspiracy

A few days later, in the physiotherapy room at Southampton's Staplewood training base.

Yang Huan and others stood outside the door, waiting anxiously, and couldn't help walking back and forth.

When the door of the therapy room was opened and Huang Wenying walked out, Yang Huan immediately went to greet her.

"How's it going, Old Huang?"

Huang Wenying is an old Chinese medicine doctor in her sixties. She wears a simple Chinese medicine robe, has short hair, and has a rosy complexion. If you don't look closely, you can't see any wrinkles on her face, which shows that she takes good care of herself.

Following behind Huang Wenying were his two favorite disciples and Xiaobu, who was considered half a disciple.

"Master Huan, it's no problem." Huang Wenying has been engaged in the traditional Chinese medicine industry all his life. He is very experienced and confident.

Yang Huan was not worried whether the treatment could be successful. It was just a sprained ankle.

The key question is whether we can catch up with the competition.

"There are only two or three days left until the FA Cup final, and less than a week until the Europa League final. Will it be in time?" Yang Huan asked with concern.

Not only him, but everyone around him also looked concerned.

Especially Toni Kroos, who walked out of the physiotherapy room, had a face full of anxiety.

Master Huan went all the way to China for him and invited a famous Chinese medicine doctor to treat his ankle injury.

This touched the young German player's heart.

Looking at the football world, where can we find such a good boss?

"Xiao Bu has been doing very well these past few days and has recovered very quickly. I just took a special look and he is almost there."

Toni Kroos himself felt that it was about enough.

He can walk, run and exert himself now, but he just feels that he is not fully recovered yet.

But there should be no problem in playing the game.

"Can we compete?" This is what Yang Huan cares about most.

Huang Wenying thought for a moment and said, "I can't guarantee that. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Although it's just a sprain, I have to return to the competition field in just a few days and endure such an intense professional competition. I personally think it's a bit risky."

Southampton's opponent in the FA Cup final is Liverpool.

Although everyone knows that Dalglish will be sacked after the end of this season.

But the Red King and Liverpool are eager to win a trophy and avoid the regret of winning nothing this season.

Therefore, Liverpool will definitely fight hard in this game!

For a player who has just recovered from an injury and is faced with a tough and tenacious opponent, the risk is indeed too great.

And four days after the FA Cup final, Southampton will travel to Romania to participate in the Europa League final.

The opponent is Atletico Madrid!

After hearing what Huang Wenying said, Toni Kroos felt a little anxious and immediately volunteered to fight.

"Master Huan, Mr. Bielsa, I think I can play!"

Yang Huan glanced at Bielsa, who happened to be looking over there as well.

The two looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.

Bielsa nodded, walked over and patted Toni Kroos on the shoulder, "It's okay, just rest assured and recover from your injury. You can play in the Europa League final against Atletico Madrid!"

"No, I..."

Yang Huan waved his hand and said, "It's decided!"

In the defensive midfielder position, Southampton also has Schneiderlin and Matic.

Especially Matic.

The Serbian defensive midfielder has formed an effective rotation mechanism with Toni Kroos this season.

In the second leg of the Europa League semi-final in which Toni Kroos was absent, Southampton defeated Sporting Lisbon. Although Stroman performed best, it was precisely because Matic was in the defensive midfield and in control of the overall situation that the offensive threats of Stroman and Vidal were stimulated.

In terms of creativity and organizational ability, Matic is not as good as Toni Kroos.

But the Serbian has stronger defensive capabilities and good passing ability, and can be considered a pretty good defensive midfielder.

Southampton's Strootman and Vidal are in good form now, and with the addition of Matic, it should not be a problem for them to suppress Liverpool's incomplete, old, weak and sick midfield.

As for the frontcourt, Southampton has almost no injuries and will definitely be able to suppress Liverpool!

Therefore, Toni Kroos' absence should not have much impact against Liverpool.

Speaking of which, this is also thanks to Yang Huan's continuous large-scale investment in the past two years.

After the establishment of the club's analysis and research center, Southampton players have suffered fewer injuries this season.

Just like Drogba, he was injured all the time at Chelsea before, but after coming to Southampton, not only did he not get injured again, but his condition got better and better, and he started a round of goal competition with Ibrahimovic.

There are also players like Sturridge, who is also known for his sickly condition. But after coming to Southampton, he has no injuries or illnesses and everything is going well.

All of this is thanks to the club's set of high-tech products and equipment, which help the team analyze and understand the players' bodies, understand their movements, and take immediate preventive measures and adjustments once an injury warning appears.

By the end of the season, other teams were either riddled with injuries or exhausted.

Only Southampton became more and more courageous and full of energy as the game went on!

“That’s right!”

Yang Huan suddenly thought of something very interesting.

Everyone immediately looked at him.

"Isn't there going to be a pre-match press conference for the League Cup tomorrow?"

"Yeah!" Bielsa nodded. As is customary, he announced the team's roster for the expedition to London.

"I'll spread the word that Toni Kroos is seriously injured and will definitely miss all games this season!"

"Ah?" Toni Kroos was stunned when he heard it.

No, didn’t Mr. Huang from China just say that there is no problem playing in the Europa League final?

Yang Huan laughed, "Smoke bomb, Toni Kroos and Matic are two different types of players, we will create an illusion and say that Toni is seriously injured and can't play, then all Atletico Madrid's preparations will be aimed at Matic!"

When Bielsa and everyone else heard this, they all burst into laughter.

Smoke bomb?

This is played a lot in the field of football!

Ferguson and Mourinho are both masters among them!

What Master Huan meant was to set a trap for Atletico Madrid!

"Master Huan, it would be best if we reveal our true identity inadvertently!" Peter Kenyon suggested with a grin.

Yang Huan frowned, not being able to figure it out for a moment.

"In fact, it's very simple. The fact that so many of us are here is serious enough in itself."

Peter Kenyon's words immediately made Yang Huan understand.

In fact, Peter Kenyon, Nicholas Cortes and others came here to join in the fun, mainly because they wanted to see how magical the traditional Chinese medicine that Master Huan invited from China was.

But outsiders don’t know.

If the reporters saw that all of Southampton’s core executives were here, they would definitely be thinking, Oh my God, this must be a big deal that even Yang Huan is alarmed!

"Great! Great! This is a good idea!" Yang Huan immediately clapped his hands in approval.

With this start, everyone else immediately started brainstorming.

"In the past few days, many fans have come to watch our training, and some reporters have mixed in with the fans!"

Ron Gourlay said this with a mischievous smile, "We don't need to do anything. Just wait a minute, everyone will go out with a stern face and a very bad mood, and the reporters will all notice that something is wrong."

"Haha, yes, if Toni Kroos limps out at that time, everyone will know it!"

"Those reporters will definitely make a big fuss about it. The most important thing is that at the press conference tomorrow, we will never admit it. We will insist that Toni Kroos' injury is not serious, but he did not appear in the roster and did not participate in daily training!"

"Wow, if we really do this, won't we be able to fool those reporters?"

"Let's do it!" Yang Huan made the decision on the spot.

Huang Wenying and others had just arrived, and when they heard this group of people talking to each other, all of them were calculating against their opponents, reporters and media, they felt so stupid in their hearts, "Oh my God, what kind of people are these?"

Xiao Bu was laughing happily, her idea was very simple, to support the young master, that's right!

…………

…………

"What?"

In the head coach's office at Liverpool's Melwood training base, Dalglish stood up in surprise.

"Toni Kroos is out due to injury, ending the season early?"

If the person who told him the news wasn't his right-hand man Steve Clark, he wouldn't have believed his ears.

"Didn't the news just come out not long ago that Toni Kroos has returned to the training ground and is training alone?"

Steve Clarke nodded. "Yes, I read the news too. But I heard that it was because he returned to the training ground early that his condition recurred and his injury worsened!"

Dalglish sat back in his chair, frowning, obviously considering the reliability of this news.

"If Toni Kroos is really injured and out, then Southampton's defensive midfielder must be Matic!"

Steve Clark said with great certainty.

Schneiderlin has also made a few appearances this season, with mixed performances.

No one will deny the potential of the French midfielder, but before the crucial competition, Southampton must trust Matic.

Dalglish nodded. With Toni Kroos absent, it is indisputable that Matic will play as the defensive midfielder.

But, is it really true that Toni Kroos can't play?

Southampton is such a weird team!

When Toni Kroos comes on the pitch, the Germans' defensive ability is not very good, so Vidal and Stroman cannot stay too far away from him. They have to suppress their own offense and participate more in defense.

In this way, Liverpool's midfielder Spearing has a chance!

But if it was Matic who played, the Serbian defensive ability is excellent, Vidal and Stroman would definitely press forward to participate in the attack, and using Spiering at this time would be courting death!

Why did Sporting Lisbon lose so badly?

It is because they did not expect that after Matic was replaced by Toni Kroos, Southampton's two midfielders would burst out with such amazing offensive power. They did not even expect that Bielsa would let Vidal and Strootman so determined to attack.

As a result, Sporting Lisbon lost miserably!

Liverpool should learn from the experience of the Portuguese Super League team!

"Where does this news come from?" Dalglish had to be cautious.

Steve Clarke immediately replied: "Henry Winter of the Telegraph, his colleagues saw with their own eyes that Tony Kroos was limping out of the medical room with his feet bound."

At the end, he added one more sentence.

"I heard that all the senior executives of Southampton were present, and even the club owner Yang Huan came back from China!"

Henry Winter is trustworthy.

When the England national team's midfield was competing for a position between Gerrard and Lampard, Henry Winter and Martin Samuel of the Daily Mail had a heated argument. The former was a die-hard Liverpool fan, and the latter was a die-hard Blues fan.

But sometimes, who can tell what is true and what is false?

He was fine before and had even started recovery training, but now with the FA Cup final approaching, he suddenly got injured.

Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?

And after he was injured, he was photographed by reporters. Was this really not intentional?

Ferguson, Wenger, Mourinho and other bastards are all very good at this. There's no guarantee that Bielsa won't learn from them and throw a smoke bomb as well!

Thinking of this, Dalglish slapped his thigh hard.

“This is a conspiracy!”

"Conspiracy?" Steve Clark was stunned.

"Yes, Southampton will definitely play Toni Kroos in the FA Cup final!"

At this point, Dalglish had no choice but to say
