Chapter 556 Oh my God, is this true?

“Time’s up!”

"Next? That's all for the training. Thank you for your hard work!"

As chief assistant coach Borini blew the whistle, the players on the training ground breathed a sigh of relief.

Bielsa's training has always been known for its high intensity. The time is neither too long nor too short, just ninety minutes, but every minute requires full concentration and full effort. The intensity is not much different from a game.

Therefore, after 90 minutes of high-intensity training, every player was sweating profusely, and many even took off their jerseys to reveal their muscular upper bodies.

Don't underestimate the players. Even Neymar, who looks very thin and has poor physical fitness on TV, has enviable muscles after taking off his shirt.

Borini stood in the middle of the training ground, directing his colleagues in the coaching staff to pack up the equipment and props on the training ground. Then, looking at the players walking towards the locker room exhausted, he sighed with regret.

From the training sessions over the past two or three days, he could clearly feel the psychological changes in the players on the team.

As a coach, his feelings are the most intuitive and accurate.

After all, it’s because of the league!

Southampton has remained unbeaten since the 13th round when they played against Newcastle.

The league ranking is also rising steadily, firmly entering the second place in the league, and there is not much suspense about qualifying for the Champions League.

But this person is just so unsatisfied sometimes.

When Southampton was at the bottom of the league, everyone's goal was to get out of the relegation zone as soon as possible and rush to the middle.

When the team fought back to the middle and entered the upper reaches, the players' eyes were on the Champions League zone.

Well, with a series of consecutive victories in the middle of the season, the team not only successfully entered the Champions League zone, but also rushed into the top three of the league.

Especially after defeating Manchester City, the team successfully counterattacked and ranked second in the league. Everyone's hearts swelled again.

Because in front of them stands the towering mountain of Manchester United!

At that time, the ten-point gap in the league was really nothing in front of Southampton, who were on a winning streak.

Just three games!

But what frustrates everyone is that after several rounds, Manchester United is still scoring points steadily.

The gap is still ten points!

This will make Southampton's group of pursuers feel powerless.

Sometimes, Borini wondered if Southampton's ambitions were too big.

I heard that Master Huan placed a large bet at the bookmaker on Southampton to win the championship. In addition, in some daily conversations, Master Huan also revealed that Southampton has the strength to win the championship and should definitely make an attack on the championship.

This has brought huge impact within the team!

Master Huan, he is a god-like figure in the Southampton team. Who wouldn’t submit to him?

One word from him is much more useful than a hundred words from the coaching staff!

But because of this, when players feel the huge gap between ideals and reality, psychological gap is inevitable.

As an experienced coach, Borini feels that the most pragmatic strategy for Southampton is not to challenge the league championship, but to maintain the league runner-up position.

As the saying goes, if you take too big a step, you may easily fall into trouble!

He was even a little worried. If this kind of psychological gap affected the players' performance, then let alone challenging for the league championship, they might not even be able to maintain their top four position in the league!

You know, teams like Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and others are all eyeing us and chasing us relentlessly!

Thinking of this, Borini shook his head and sighed helplessly.

Master Huan is a smart man and a very good boss, but he still underestimates human nature!

But just as Borini uttered this sigh, he saw a golden Aston Martin Lagonda Conqueror driving in from the direction of the gate in the distance and stopped steadily in front of the training building.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Huan got out of the car, looked around, and when he saw Borini, he nodded in greeting.

"Hurry up and pack up, I'll go!"

Borini thought something had happened, so he immediately put down his work and left the training ground.

Suddenly, all the coaches on the training ground noticed Young Master Huan, and they were all wondering what had happened.

"Master Huan!" Borini quickly came downstairs to the training building.

At this time, Bielsa had also received the call and went downstairs.

"Let's go to the locker room!"

After saying that, Yang Huan took the lead and walked towards the locker room.

Bielsa and Borini looked at each other and immediately hurried to follow, with Long Wu following at the end.

"Can I come in?"

Yang Huan stood outside the gate, knocked on the door a few times, and then shouted.

"Master Huan?"

"Is it Master Huan?"

"Of course, Master Huan, please come in!"

"I'll open the door!"

The door to the locker room was immediately opened.

As soon as Yang Huan walked into the locker room, he saw a scene that was hard for outsiders to imagine.

Ibrahimovic was naked and walking around; Neymar was wrapped in a bath towel, like a beauty just out of the bath; Gareth Bale sat in front of the wardrobe with his arms and legs spread out, not minding being seen, and grinning...

In short, people who don't know the truth would definitely mistakenly think that something shameful was happening here before they came in.

Little did they know that this was just the most common scene in the locker room.

This is also why there are usually no female employees in team locker rooms.

"Master Huan, why are you here?"

Yang Huan smiled and said, "I'll treat you guys to a meal!"

"real?"

"Nonsense, there's no money to be made by fooling you, and I'm afraid you won't give me face!"

Yang Huan's words immediately attracted a response from the players.

"Master Huan, if you invite us to dinner, we will definitely go, right?"

"Yes, I originally had an appointment with my girlfriend for dinner, but since Master Huan is treating, I will definitely go!"

"Yes, I must go!"

Yang Huan smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"As for me, I came here today not only to treat you to a meal, but also to talk to you about something!"

When the players heard this, they immediately understood what Master Huan wanted to talk about and fell silent.

There are still ten rounds left in the Premier League. Manchester United is ten points ahead and winning the championship is almost a foregone conclusion.

Of course, some people have analyzed that Manchester United’s next opponents include Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea, but except for Arsenal, the others are home games, which is also quite advantageous for Manchester United.

On the other hand, Southampton's next opponents are also strong, especially in the 30th and 31st rounds, when they will play Liverpool and Chelsea in succession, while also taking into account the European arena. In the 36th round, they will also challenge Tottenham Hotspur away.

These games are all tough battles and not easy to win!

As for Manchester City, they will be playing away against Everton, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, so the pressure is also great.

From this point of view, Manchester United has a huge advantage, which is quite amazing.

In fact, according to some newspapers, we can already be considered to have won the championship ahead of time!

This also made Southampton, who were ranked second, feel very depressed.

Or, you could just win the championship ahead of time and put an end to my hopes. Then I can put an end to it all and save myself a lot of trouble.

Or you might as well not make your advantage so big that it makes people feel hopeless. Then you can have a good fight to see who is the real strong one.

But unfortunately, your advantage is there, and I am in a dilemma!

Moreover, the Southampton players were somewhat unwilling in their hearts.

If Southampton hadn't lost too many points at the beginning of the season and had it been difficult to catch up now, I'm afraid they wouldn't have to watch Manchester United leave them far behind. It makes me feel frustrated and regretful just thinking about it!

When Yang Huan saw how quiet the locker room was, he understood what was going on and smiled.

"I just went to St. Mary's Stadium and asked them to start working on a new reward plan for the team."

When the reward plan was mentioned, everyone present's eyelids jumped, and immediately all their eyes fell on Young Master Huan.

This concerns their vital interests, how can they not care?

"I know the current situation and position of the team. I also know that there are many people out there, even many so-called experts, who are giving us advice. Almost the vast majority of people think that there is no hope for the league championship!"

"To be honest, I also feel that our hope of winning the league title only exists in theory!"

This is Ferguson's last season as coach of Manchester United. Everyone in the Red Devils is determined to give Ferguson a glorious exit, so the Red Devils' form has remained very stable this season.

Now, you ask Manchester United to lose ten points in ten league games?

Is this possible? Is this realistic?

But even though everyone was mentally prepared, when they heard Young Master Huan say this, their eyes suddenly dimmed, and they were obviously more frustrated and disappointed.

Unexpectedly, Yang Huan changed the subject at this time.

"But I just don't believe in evil."

"I just don't understand. Whether Ferguson retires or not is none of my business. Why should he win a league title and have a glorious exit before he retires?"

"If that's the case, what about us? In Southampton's history of more than 100 years, we have never won the English Premier League championship. If we talk about tragedy, we are much more tragic than Ferguson. Why can't we get it?"

When Yang Huan said this, everyone in the locker room was shocked.

Could it be that even with the situation having developed to this point, Young Master Huan still refuses to give up?

Borini glanced at Bielsa, as if asking, do you really want to continue gambling?

Bielsa shook his head helplessly, there was nothing he could do!

"I don't believe in evil or fate. I believe that our destiny is controlled by ourselves and our future is created by ourselves."

"I believe even more that if we give up now because of a few comments and analyses from others, and we sacrifice the results that so many of us have worked together to create over the past few months, then we deserve to fail and deserve to be trampled under the feet of Manchester United for the rest of our lives!"

The players all stared at Yang Huan and listened to his words. Some were stimulated, while others were not.

"I believe that nothing in this world is predetermined."

"Those who say Manchester United is a sure winner will probably change their tune as soon as the Red Devils lose a game. Do you believe it?"

Many players began to nod.

The media nowadays have no moral integrity.

"I believe that there are countless possibilities waiting for us in the future. Which path we take and what kind of ending we will have are determined by our own actions. If we give up now, we are doomed to gain nothing!"

"But if we still have aspirations for the championship, then we only have one choice, to win the remaining ten league games and then wait for Manchester United to make mistakes!"

"I believe that as long as we win these ten league games and create huge psychological pressure on Manchester United, the Red Devils will definitely make mistakes. Even if they don't make mistakes, even if we really can't win the championship in the end, we have nothing to regret. At least, we tried our best."

"By then, at worst, we will become the most miserable runner-up in the history of the Premier League!"

Many players present couldn't help but smile from the bottom of their hearts when they heard this.

"I am a person who loves gambling, so this time, I will bet on myself!"

Yang Huan raised his right hand and pointed his index finger. "Ten million pounds. This is the championship bonus I promised you before. Now, I have changed it. As long as you win the remaining ten games, no matter whether you win the championship in the end, the ten million pounds will be yours!"

Everyone in the locker room was stunned!

Everyone was stunned, looking at Young Master Huan in disbelief, they were all stunned!

Didn't they say that only if you win the championship will you get 10 million pounds?

Now, I don’t have to win the championship, I just need to win the remaining ten games to win 10 million pounds?

Oh my god, is this true?

Am I dreaming?
