Chapter 402: Enemy with the entire Premier League
Even after Yang Huan walked out of Bielsa's office, he was still extremely excited.
I am still immersed in the shock of Bielsa's words: "As long as the players do what I want, I will be invincible."
At the same time, he is more confident about the future of Southampton.
He believed that with Bielsa's character, he would not defeat a weak team.
This guy has integrated his passion for football, offense and victory into Southampton's blood.
Now it seems that Yang Huan's decision to choose Bielsa was a wise one.
As he thought about it, our Young Master Huan couldn't help but feel good about himself and even a little proud.
Peter Nian, Nicola Cortes and Ron Gourlay appeared behind Master Huan at some point.
The three guys were puzzled when they saw Young Master Huan suddenly laughing for no reason.
They looked at each other and nodded in unison.
Could it be that Master Huan had successfully hooked up for one night?
Possibly
Given Master Huan's personality and character, he would only smile like this if he succeeded in hooking up with a beautiful woman...
Uh...how should I put it?
A little bit erotic, but also a bit complacent.
If Yang Huan had the ability to read minds, he would definitely ask Long Wu to throw these three bastards down from the second floor.
Do I, the great Young Master Huan, look like this kind of person?
Needless to say, it is definitely not
If anyone dares to say yes, I will throw you all into the gay bar to pick up soap
As they walked, they arrived at the executive meeting room and suddenly stopped.
As soon as he stopped, the three people following him also braked suddenly.
Yang Huan heard the noise and turned around, looking at them strangely, "Why?"
"Nothing." Nicola Cortes quickly shook his head.
Yang Huan didn't find it strange. These three guys must have come to say goodbye to the players.
"By the way, since we're here, let's go inside and sit down. I have something to tell you."
"Oh," all three agreed.
When they arrived at the meeting room, Yang Huan recounted the process and results of his communication with Bielsa.
Peter Nean and Ron Gourlay have both been involved in football for many years. Nicola Cortes was a banker before. Although he has only been in charge of Southampton for three years, he is a veteran football fan and has some understanding of football.
When they heard Bielsa's ideas and concepts relayed by Yang Huan, they were all filled with amazement.
Apart from anything else, one cannot help but admire Bielsa's enthusiasm and persistence for football.
"Master Huan, are these the questions you were thinking about just now?" Peternian was a little surprised.
"Yes, what else do you think I am thinking?" Yang Huan asked back seriously.
The three of them looked at each other again, and immediately smiled bitterly.
Okay, we all misunderstood.
Master Huan is not having a hookup, but is thinking about the team
It's a pity that we had such wild thoughts. We are so sorry to Master Huan.
The three leaders of Southampton did not have any major objections to Bielsa's ideas and demands mentioned by Yang Huan.
In fact, many things are actually about money.
But for Young Master Huan, problems that can be solved with money are not problems at all.
So, Bielsa's request is fine.
If this happened to other teams, it would probably take a long time and might even be greatly reduced.
But in Southampton, it went surprisingly smoothly.
"By the way, Peter, is there any news from the Premier League Chairman Summit?" Yang Huan asked with concern.
Peternian laughed, "Actually, it's just those teams that are talking."
"Oh?" Yang Huan became interested.
"In the past, the most active and powerful Premier League chairmen's summits were Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Leeds United, but after Leeds United was relegated, Newcastle took over, but the Magpies were also relegated later."
Yang Huan listened silently.
It was at this time that he remembered that Peter Nian had served as the CEO of Manchester United.
He must have attended such occasions many times on behalf of Manchester United, and later on on behalf of Chelsea.
So, relatively speaking, Peternian must be familiar with all of this.
As for Nicola Cortez and Ron Gurley, they are definitely unfamiliar.
The former has never attended the Premier League Chairman's Summit, and the latter was too short.
"In recent years, Liverpool has changed its American owner, Chelsea has changed its owner Abramovich, and recently even its CEO has changed. Arsenal has lost David Dunn. The so-called power group at the Premier League Chairman's Summit no longer exists."
"At most, David Gill of Manchester United still has some influence."
Yang Huan didn't find it strange, as Manchester United was definitely the most successful team in the 20-year history of the Premier League.
The Red Devils' influence in the Premier League is absolutely unquestionable.
"This season, the 20 Premier League teams, including Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, West Ham United, Fulham, Aston Villa, Queens Park Rangers, Reading, Sunderland and Southampton, are all controlled by foreign owners or capital consortiums. In addition, shares of Arsenal are also held by foreign owners."
"People like this don't have much say at the Premier League Chairman's Summit"
Yang Huan thought it made sense.
If Southampton did not have Peter Neymar, he would have remained aloof even if he attended the Premier League chairman's summit as long as it did not concern him.
As the saying goes, everyone should mind their own business and not worry about other people's problems.
My own affairs are already a headache enough, who can take care of other people?
"The protests against Southampton this time were not concentrated, but rather scattered. It was just a few teams including Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal that initiated the initiative, and everyone else followed suit."
Now Yang Huan had a general idea of what was going on.
As Peter Nian said, these teams are jealous of Southampton's ability to advertise on jerseys, and they also want to get a piece of the pie, so they are making a fuss.
"According to you, these teams are not united, but a group of scattered sand?" Yang Huan laughed.
As long as there is no unity, things will be much easier.
As the saying goes, the world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit, the world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit.
It's good to be scattered, it's easy to defeat them one by one
"It is indeed a mess, but the goals are more consistent."
Yang Huan hummed, smiled faintly, and said nothing more.
"Master Huan, Levy from Tottenham Hotspur called me and talked about this matter." said Nicola Cortes.
"What did he say?"
Yang Huan had a good influence on Levy. This guy had come to Southampton to learn and they had cooperated.
What’s more interesting is that Tottenham Hotspur’s short-term goal is also to be in the top four of the league.
Originally, Tottenham Hotspur should be the team that fears Southampton the most, but the teams that Tottenham Hotspur hates the most are Arsenal and Chelsea. The former is their mortal enemy, and the latter had a falling out because of the Arnesen incident.
In the spirit of "the enemy of my enemy is, oh no, a comrade", it is not surprising that Tottenham Hotspur is trying to build relations with Southampton, and Levy is also very interested in Schneiderlin.
"Levi didn't say anything, he just mentioned that someone would use the jersey incident to protest at the Premier League Chairman's Summit, so let's prepare early."
Yang Huan thought about it and it made sense. Tottenham Hotspur was not Southampton's vanguard. It was good enough that they could tip off.
"Thank him for me," Yang instructed with a smile.
Nicola Cortes immediately nodded in agreement.
"There's no good banquet, there's no good meeting, but I just want to go and see what they can do to me."
Yang Huan, on the other hand, looked fearless.
Nicola Cortes was a little worried, "What if they force us?"
"Force me?" Yang Huan laughed. "The fat meat is already in my mouth, how can they make me spit it out?"
Peter Nian also laughed and nodded in agreement.
"Besides, do we force them? Sure, but who will pay for the liquidated damages? If they are willing to pay for us, then I don't mind. If we don't want to advertise, then we don't want to advertise. What's the big deal?"
But the question is, isn't it Young Master Huan who has the final say on how much the penalty is?
"I think the reason they are making a fuss is that they want to relax the restriction and not push it too hard," Ron Gourlay said with a smile.
Yang Huan snorted coldly and said proudly: "If they really make me unhappy, I won't play in the Premier League. I will go back to the Championship and see what they can do to me."
Peter Nian, Ron Gourlay and Nicholas Cortez looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
They are looking forward to promotion to the Premier League day and night.
But Master Huan, you are so different. After being upgraded, you want to be downgraded?
If this gets out, won’t those teams that want to be promoted but can’t be so angry that they vomit blood?
However, on second thought, it is not difficult to understand Yang Huan's confidence.
Southampton was promoted to the Premier League with the title of quadruple champions. If they had a falling out over jersey advertising and were relegated back to the Championship, it would be easy to explain to the outside world by saying that Southampton did not meet the Premier League's review system.
But the question is, are the fans happy?
How many fans around the world are now eagerly waiting for Southampton to enter the Premier League and make a big splash?
Also, are the TV broadcasters happy with this?
Without saying anything else, Southampton's current reputation in the Premier League is not inferior to traditional giants such as Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool. At best, it is slightly inferior to Manchester United and Chelsea.
But Southampton's media influence is not inferior to any team, including Manchester United.
This kind of team is a sweet commodity.
Sky TV couldn't wait to come and transform the broadcasting system of St. Mary's Stadium.
If Southampton does not play in the Premier League next season, what will Sky, BT, E Independent, EpN and other broadcasters think and see?
Would they like to see Southampton play in the Championship next season?
After all, Southampton is no longer the League One team it was two years ago.
Not to mention the newly promoted teams and underdogs like Sunderland and Reading.
This is a strong team aiming for the top four and even the championship.
Young Master Huan has the confidence to say such words.
As soon as he understood this, Peternian immediately raised his head, straightened his chest, and shrank his abdomen.
The strong, the strong, if you are not tough, how can you be considered a strong person?
If you are frightened by a few words from others and give in, won't they come and shit and piss on your head in the future?
"Okay, that's it."
Yang Huan had a plan in mind and made the decision on the spot.
"When the time comes, Peter, you will accompany me."
Peternian nodded and agreed.
With an old hand like him around, it would definitely be much easier for Yang Huan to do things.
"This is how it's done. Our team is tough on the field and not ambiguous off the field either."
Yang Huan shouted with an arrogant smile, "I will show our players that we in Southampton are not afraid of anyone, even if we are enemies with the other 19 teams in the Premier League."
"Master Huan, well said," Peternian clapped his hands and applauded.
"Then let's give him a try and see who is tougher," Ron Gourlay also cheered with a smile.
Even Nicola Cortes couldn't help nodding and applauding.
That is indeed the truth.
Amidst the cheers, Sun Yue, Cash Harris, Zhao Yuanfang and others arrived.
They were obviously not there just to attend the team's farewell party.
Instead, it brought Yang Huan a long-awaited good news.
However, Hamad, who came with him, looked as if he was about to kneel down before Master Huan as soon as he entered the room.
What's going on?
