Chapter 386 The Most Powerful Newcomer

"It's raining nicely"

Through the window of Lagonda Conqueror, Yang Huan looked at the world outside covered with drizzle. Instead of feeling depressed, he thought it was pretty good.

The weather in England is like a woman's mood, changing at any time.

The weather was good yesterday, but it started raining near noon today.

Southampton defeated Liverpool 3-0 in the FA Cup final last night and successfully defended the FA Cup title.

After the game, Yang Huan invited all the team members, including all the members of the Saints Fan Club, as well as the English Football Association, the Premier League and some British political and business celebrities, to Wangjiang Pavilion in West London for a big celebration.

The party lasted until the middle of the night, and the team returned to Southampton. Gavin Patterson and others went to Hamad's yacht to hold their party, and Prince William returned to Buckingham Palace.

Yang Huan spent a night with Zhuang Ziqing in the cozy mansion at One Hyde Park. Not satisfied with the whole night, he woke up in the morning and enjoyed a delicious breakfast that he couldn't tell anyone about. He didn't head south until the afternoon.

Whenever Yang Huan thought of Zhuang Ziqing lying lazily on the bed when he left home, not wanting to move at all, with a look of exhaustion and satisfaction on her face, his heart couldn't help but become hot again.

What a charming little fairy.

"Master, where are you going?" Long Wu turned around and asked as the car got off the highway.

Yang Huan has several places in Southampton, including his home, WeChat headquarters, St. Mary's Stadium and Staplewood training base.

"Let's go to the training base," Yang Huan said after thinking for a while.

The WeChat company and the game company are now on the right track. Yang Huan just controls them remotely and then goes on to be a decoration.

As for Miracle Entertainment, its core business has been moved to China, and a branch has been established in Hollywood, USA.

After all, the main markets for Psy, Yoona and Horikita Maki are still in Asia and North America.

Although there is an office in Southampton, it is more like an empty shell and there is no point in going there.

At home, I do miss Xiaobu's service, but I just had a few battles last night and this morning. How can I fight again now?

As for the training base, we have to pay more attention to the team.

At Yang Huan's command, the car quickly arrived at the Staplewood training base.

"Get off at the door." Yang Huan shouted.

Long Wu quickly stopped at the gate, near the security room.

"Master Huan" Peter ran over and opened the car door, holding an umbrella.

Yang Huan quickly got out of the car, and Long Wu immediately drove away and went to the parking lot.

"Peter, how's it going?"

Saint Peter was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Master Huan meant and started laughing.

"Master Huan, it didn't rain this morning, so we held an open training session. Many reporters and fans came. From what I saw, there must be scouts mixed in."

Yang Huan frowned when he heard this, "A lot?"

Logically speaking, Southampton now only has one opponent left, and that is Atletico Madrid.

Why are there so many scouts here?

"I don't know, but from what I can see, there are at least six or seven of them. I seem to know some of them, but they are not in the same group."

Yang Huan immediately understood that these bastards were here to target his players.

It's no wonder that Southampton will be in the Premier League next season. With the purpose of improving their own strength and weakening their competitors, poaching from Southampton is undoubtedly the wishful thinking of many Premier League teams.

Besides, Southampton is definitely the most eye-catching dark horse in European football this season.

It is undoubtedly more rewarding to recruit players from such a team.

"Don't worry about them. If they like to watch, just let them watch." Yang Huan didn't take it to heart at all.

As he, Peter Nian, Ron Gourlay and others finalized the team strategy, Southampton's players are currently divided into different types by the management.

For example, Ibrahimovic is currently the backbone of Southampton, and the team's marketing strategy revolves around him, so no matter what, Ibrahimovic will not be sold.

At least, it will definitely not be sold in the next two or three years.

And then there is Neymar.

Both Bielsa and the team management believe that Neymar has the potential to succeed Ibrahimovic in terms of strength, potential and image, so the Brazilian will not sell him.

The same can be said of Toni Kroos, Varane, Javi Martinez and Neuer.

Among them, Neuer is the captain of the team and plays an important tactical role in Bielsa's tactics.

Southampton advocates high-position defense, so Neuer's activity area is not the small penalty area, but the large penalty area.

He is not only the team's goalkeeper, but also the last link in the team's passing system.

To use the term Yang Huan had heard in his previous life during the Brazil World Cup, this is called a sweeper goalkeeper.

Southampton will not easily move this central axis

Of course, if you offer a sky-high price, it is not out of the question.

"Are they training indoors?"

Peter nodded, "Yes, there is a closed training in the afternoon. It happened to be raining, so we are all in the indoor training ground."

After saying this, Peter couldn't help but laugh, "I heard that Tony Cross has fully recovered."

When this was mentioned, Yang Huan couldn't help but laugh.

That's why I say it rains so well.

“I’ll go take a look.”

Yang Huan patted Peter on the shoulder, took the umbrella from his hand, and ran straight to the indoor training ground.

Staplewood has two indoor training grounds, one for the first team and one for the youth team.

There is also a Nike training center under construction.

Indoor training grounds and Nike training centers are different.

The former is an ordinary training ground, but it has been turned indoors.

But the latter is a breakthrough experiment of Yang Huan, which will gather the world's top high-tech equipment to assist players in various trainings, and basically adopt digital management and control to collect various data of players.

For example, the virtual training system is currently being debugged intensively.

The player put on a virtual reality helmet and walked into a room.

The virtual reality helmet will play some game scenes converted from the first-person perspective to give players an immersive feeling, and the serving machine in the room will automatically send out various types of balls with different strengths and speeds based on the video to test the players, and will finally provide an analysis data.

The entire virtual training system has many targeted subcategories, such as shooting, passing, stopping, heading, etc.

At present, this system has been assembled and is in the debugging and running-in stage.

When Yang Huan passed by the door, he went in to take a look.

Experts and researchers from some prestigious universities in the UK, the US and Europe are all very busy.

Seeing this situation, Yang Huan would of course say a few good words to encourage them.

Yang Huan had seen Dortmund’s practice room in his previous life, but it was too rough and too simple, not at all high-end.

Southampton is currently building four virtual training systems, specifically for different types of training programs. One of them is specifically for goalkeeper training. After all, the goalkeeper position is also very critical.

These training system rooms look much more sophisticated and have more high-tech elements than those in Dortmund.

After Yang Huan made his inspection, he turned around and walked towards the indoor training ground of the first team.

Having just won the FA Cup last night, Southampton is full of fighting spirit.

When Yang Huan came in, he happened to see Bielsa stopping training and explaining one of the targeted tactics to Toni Kroos.

"If I were Simeone, Toni Kroos couldn't play, and the midfield combination of Matic, Strootman and Vidal, my first thought would be how to hold the ball in the midfield and pass it to Falcao in front."

Falcao is one of the hottest scorers in La Liga this season, second only to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

This Colombian center forward is extremely skilled in shooting with both feet, very comprehensive, and a real headache.

"So, when defending, you have to mark Diego," Bielsa explained to Toni Kroos, holding a tactical board in his hand, "Stroman and Vidal also need assistance."

Several people in the midfield nodded immediately.

"But when attacking, pay attention..." Bielsa quickly moved the chess pieces with player numbers on them on the tactical board.

"Tony, once we get the ball, you must immediately get behind Diego and move forward to receive the pass from your teammates."

Toni Kroos kept nodding.

"Diego's offensive ability is indeed very good, but his defensive ability is not very active. Once you go around, he may not follow you to defend. Even if he does, we still have two central defenders who can also provide support after we move away."

It can be seen that Toni Kroos has a heavy task in this game.

According to Bielsa, when defending, he has to keep a close eye on Diego, and when his team has the ball, he also has to connect the midfield and the front and back fields. This is indeed a big test for the players.

However, Toni Kroos has been doing quite well this season since joining the team.

Atletico Madrid uses a 4-2-3-1 formation, while Southampton usually uses a 4-3-3 formation, with three players competing in the middle of the midfield.

If Toni Kroos can suppress Diego, then Southampton's midfield will be able to suppress Atletico Madrid, and the whole situation will come alive.

As for the flanks, Southampton had an almost overwhelming advantage.

Neymar and James Rodriguez will play on the two flanks, suppressing Atletico Madrid's left and right full-backs in front. In a one-on-one situation, Southampton has a clear advantage.

Moreover, Southampton's usual tactic is that the wingers take the ball and cut inside to create threats in the unguarded area in the middle. In conjunction with this, the two full-backs boldly move forward to create tactical width.

In the absence of an advantage in individual ability, if Atletico Madrid wants to ensure a solid defense, it must pull the wing players in the midfield back to actively participate in defense.

But in this case, Atletico Madrid can only retreat across the board

As for the frontcourt center, Ibrahimovic alone can suppress the opponent's two central defenders, no problem at all

Bielsa's calculations are very shrewd, but the key to winning the game depends on the players and the opponent's targeted tactics.

After hearing this on the sidelines, Yang Huan couldn't help but feel more confident.

As long as Simeone fell into the trap and thought that Matic was the starting player, Southampton would have won at least 70% of the game.

If Bielsa's targeted tactics are effective, then he can basically win 80% to 90% of the game.

Thinking of this, Yang Huan couldn't help but feel very happy.

If Southampton really wins the Grand Slam this season, and advances to the Premier League with the title of quadruple champion and Europa League champion, wouldn't all the Premier League teams be in awe?

Well, the season hasn't even ended yet, but the English media has already started hyping it up.

What did you say?

Southampton will become the most impressive promoted team in Premier League history

But Yang Huan doesn't just want to be a dark horse for promotion

If you want to be the blackest one, you must strive to be the blackest one.
