Chapter 758 Master Huan, let’s pack up!

"Master Huan!"

"Hello, Master Huan!"

…

Amid the overwhelming cheers of the fans outside and the greetings of people in front of the office lobby, Yang Huan, accompanied by Long Wu, walked into the club's office door with a smile.

"Hi, Tang, long time no see. I heard you got promoted and got rich recently. Congratulations. I must treat you!"

"Oh my goodness, Marcus, so good to see you, old friend!"

"You are from...MetLife. Oh, yes, I remember now, but we have to talk about this later!"

"Hey, oh my god, isn't this Qatar Airways' Tarsem? Welcome to St Mary's!"

…

As soon as Yang Huan walked into the lobby, he immediately became the focus of everyone's attention, including the staff of the club's reception department.

He ran up to him immediately, followed closely beside Young Master Huan, and introduced the guests to him one by one.

Yang Huan is a human brain, not a computer, so he cannot know so many people.

Therefore, there must be special reception staff in the club to help.

Otherwise, it would be no fun if you fail to recognize someone or if some misunderstanding occurs.

Those present were all sponsor representatives who were attending the sponsor conference that Southampton was about to hold.

Almost all of them are senior executives, at least at the level of department heads.

After Yang Huan finally dealt with this group of people, he went straight into one of the meeting rooms under the arrangement of the club staff. Pini Zahavi and others were already sitting there.

"Hey, Pini!" Yang Huan saw Pini Zahavi as soon as he entered the door.

To be honest, if it is divided into inside and outside the goal, Yang Huan would rather deal with Pini Zahavi and others than deal with those sponsors outside. The reason is very simple. Those people outside are too long-winded and too complicated.

"Hi, Kia, Giuliano!"

After Yang Huan greeted them, he turned around and said to the club employee who accompanied him in, "Give me a cup of coffee, less sugar, thank you!"

The employee immediately agreed to go with great joy.

It felt like it was a great honor for him to be ordered around by Young Master Huan.

And what about Master Huan?

He breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the top of the meeting room, and sat down with a tired look on his face.

"How's it going? Ron told you about Barbosa, right?"

Joorabchian and Bertolucci nodded immediately, "Yes, Master Huan, it's all settled."

"That's good!" Yang Huan also nodded. It would be great if the problem could be solved.

With Southampton's current status and influence, there is no need to care too much about the agent's face, especially agents of the level of Joorabchian and Bertolucci.

But Yang Huan has always adhered to one thing: harmony brings wealth.

When arranging Oscar's transfer, Yang Huan got to know Joorabchian to some extent.

He discovered that this guy was not a mercenary vampire as portrayed by the outside media.

To be honest, if he really is such a person, the players would not be willing to cooperate with him for a long time.

He and Bertolucci are almost the most capable agents in managing Brazilian players. Many Brazilian rookies go abroad through their management. However, many of their businesses are not in the four major leagues, so their reputation is not very well-known.

"How is it? Is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

Oscar performed well in the Southampton team. The player was also conscientious and the agent did not make trouble. In addition, the team introduced talented new Brazilian players such as Gerson, Kennedy and Barbosa, which naturally left a good impression on Yang Huan.

Joorabchian and Bertolucci looked at each other, then at Pini Zahavi, and the Israeli nodded, as if telling Joorabchian that if you have something to say, just say it quickly, because Master Huan's time is very precious.

Taking a deep breath, Joorabchin stood up, pulled out a document from his briefcase, and respectfully handed it to Master Huan, "Master Huan, this is a file of players. The players in it are all Brazilian players we operate in Ukraine, most of whom are in Shakhtar Donetsk."

Yang Huan frowned slightly, feeling a little puzzled. Why were they sending me this player information?

But the moment he took it, he suddenly remembered.

Over the past six months, Ukraine has been in turmoil and even war, with Donetsk being the hardest hit.

In March this year, Crimea declared independence and was incorporated into Russia's territory, which caused an uproar around the world.

There is no doubt that Russia has gained an advantage, but it has been sanctioned by European and American countries. Ukraine is also in constant war, and the army is even approaching Donetsk and Luhansk and other regions. The situation is tense.

Thinking of this, Yang Huan understood a little.

"You mean, your players want to leave Shakhtar Donetsk?"

Both Horabchine and Bertolucci were a little surprised. They didn't expect that their ideas would be exposed so quickly by Master Huan. This made them unable to utter a word of the words they had prepared for a long time.

But it’s better this way, so they don’t have to waste any more time talking.

"Yes, Master Huan!" Horabchin did not hide it.

Bertolucci also explained: "Master Huan, it's not that our players are unprofessional, nor are we inciting the situation. It's just that the current situation in Ukraine, I believe you are also aware of it. War may start at any time and anywhere, and even a world war may be triggered. Therefore, we and the players have to find a way out, especially for their families!"

World War?

Yang Huan doesn't think so. After all, starting a world war now is not an easy task.

However, the current situation in Ukraine is indeed quite tense.

Even when Yang Huan traveled through time in his previous life, during the Brazil World Cup, the situation in Ukraine had not eased at all.

It should be said that it is understandable that players consider leaving under such circumstances.

"What did the Donetsk miners say?" Yang Huan asked as he opened the document.

This move undoubtedly gave great encouragement to Joorabchian and Bertolucci.

If Young Master Huan had no interest in them, he would never have looked through this document, right?

"Master Huan, I have contacted Linat Akhmetov, the president of Shakhtar Donetsk. His requirement is that the players must strictly abide by the contract unless a team is willing to pay the transfer fee for the players."

Yang Huan nodded. This was normal. Even in times of war, the Donetsk miners would never do such a loss-making business.

"Although Shakhtar Donetsk has repeatedly assured that the team will move to a safe place to ensure the safety of the players and their families, the players are still very worried. If a war breaks out, this kind of guarantee will be of no use at all, right?"

"Yeah!" Yang Huan didn't know whether he heard it clearly or not, but he nodded anyway.

In fact, his attention was all on this document, and there were really quite a few good treasures in it.

For example, the biggest name is the legendary Croatian right-back Srna, a talent that even Ferguson coveted, but he ended up spending his career at Shakhtar Donetsk and failed to shine in European football.

There is no way around it. Srna's salary at Shakhtar Donetsk and his own personality make him have no desire to play in the top European leagues, but this player's strength is definitely not bad.

In addition to Srna, the bigger names are Zielinskiy, who joined Barcelona at the beginning, and Rakitskiy, who was later rumored to be linked with Chelsea and Bayern Munich. Both are Ukrainian central defenders with quite good strength.

There is also the striker Eduardo da Silva, who once played for Arsenal but broke his leg. He is a Brazilian national but chose to play for Croatia.

As for Brazilian players, the most famous one is undoubtedly the talented midfielder Douglas Costa. In 2010, Shakhtar Donetsk spent 6 million euros to bring him from Gremio to Ukraine.

There are also talented midfielders like Wellington Nem, Fred Jr., Alex Jr., etc. who have long been famous in Brazil and are currently playing for Shakhtar Donetsk.

But the more famous one is the current Brazilian international, Bernard.

This is a talented winger who has already been famous in Brazil. He has basically got a ticket to participate in the Brazil World Cup. His strength is evident.

There are two others who left an impression on Yang Huan. One is the forward Luis Adriano, who has nothing to do with the center Adriano who used to play for Inter Milan, but this player is also very strong.

This season, he served as the main striker for Shakhtar Donetsk and scored 19 goals in 25 league games. He also made six appearances in the Champions League, scoring two goals, and made two appearances in the Europa League, scoring two goals. His performance was quite good.

But the Brazilian striker's most impressive performance was in last season's Champions League group stage against the Danish team Nordsjælland. The opposing player was injured and when the game was restarted, according to convention, Shakhtar Donetsk should have kicked the ball to Nordsjælland.

In fact, William, who was playing for Shakhtar Donetsk at the time and is now in Tottenham Hotspur, did the same thing, but in the end, for some reason, the ball was passed to Luis Adriano, and after receiving the ball, this guy went straight to the goal and scored the goal.

Because of this incident, fans from almost all over the world are accusing and criticizing him for his lack of sportsmanship.

But few people remember that he scored a hat trick in that game.

Very fast, with a keen sense of smell, active and diligent running, excellent technique, good dribbling ability, and superb shooting skills, Luis Adriano can do so much in the frontcourt.

There have even been calls that he should join the Brazilian national team as a genuine center forward.

There is another player who is also worth noting, the midfielder, Fernando.

Unlike Fernando who plays for Manchester City, this Fernando is from Gremio and transferred to Shakhtar Donetsk last summer. He is only 1.73 meters tall, short but very flexible, and a rare defensive player in the midfield.

As early as when he was playing for Brazil, he had been selected for the national team many times and participated in the 2013 Confederations Cup. He just wasn't able to be a main player, but at least he was quite capable.

In addition to the players mentioned above, there are also Brazilian players like Tyson, Ismaili, Ilsinho, etc., who have occupied a place in Shakhtar Donetsk, but they are either unknown and play as substitutes, or they are very old and do not meet Yang Huan's interests and preferences.

Therefore, Yang Huan just glanced at the situations of these players and did not pay too much attention to them.

When Master Huan was looking at the players' information, Joorabchian, Bertolucci and others were a little nervous.

They all received the news that Young Master Huan was buying up teams in Europe, including Anderlecht, Sparta Prague, Austria Vienna, Basel and other teams, all of which were brought under Young Master Huan's command.

Although these teams are not well-known around the world, they are all capable of participating in the Champions League.

If their players want to leave Shakhtar Donetsk, the ideal choice, of course, is to join a mid- or lower-level team in the top league, or to a top team in a mid- or lower-level league.

Whatever choice you make, there will be great risks.

But if we can convince Master Huan to buy all these players, with the ability of the teams under Master Huan to cultivate players, it will not be difficult for the players to stand out as long as they have enough level.

If he can even perform well in the Champions League, his value will double at any time and anywhere.

Thinking of this, Horabchine and Bertolucci couldn't help but look at Master Huan again, their eyes full of desire, as if to say, Master Huan, pack up!
