Chapter 879: Crazy
"Master Huan!"
"Hello, Master Huan!"
Amid the players' greetings, Yang Huan walked into the Meazza Stadium in Milan, Italy. Oh, no, it should be called the San Siro Stadium tonight.
Because the home team tonight is AC Milan, Yang Huan walked into the visiting team's locker room.
"Hello everyone!"
As soon as Yang Huan walked into the locker room, he immediately stretched out his hand and shook hands vigorously with the players in the locker room one by one, followed by the coaching staff and staff, not sparing any one.
After shaking hands with everyone, Yang Huan stood among the players with a smile on his face.
“Thank you very much for your outstanding contribution to the team this season. The entire management team and I are very satisfied with your performance in the past few months. At the same time, we hope that you can continue to work hard.”
At the beginning of the season, when the Serie A schedule was just released, Klopp discussed the strategy for this season with the coaching staff. At that time, many players in the team had just experienced the World Cup, and their physical reserves and condition were generally not ideal.
Klopp and his team both agreed that under such circumstances, if the team insisted on fighting on multiple fronts, it would likely affect both fronts in the end. So, after consultation, Yang Huan agreed with Klopp's opinion to focus on the European war first.
After the four rounds of the Europa League group stage, the devilish schedule of five consecutive rounds will begin.
Therefore, Klopp's plan is to concentrate on the Europa League at the beginning of the league, and focus more on adjustments and familiarity in Serie A. As long as he can keep up with the first group and not fall behind, there is still a chance to catch up.
Once the Europa League group stage is decided, Inter Milan will focus all their energy on the devil's schedule.
As it turned out, Klopp's plan was implemented successfully.
Inter Milan currently ranks fourth in the league, which meets Yang Huan’s psychological bottom line.
Although there are still seven points behind Juventus, there are only four points behind second-placed Roma and only one point behind third-placed Napoli. This ranking is quite good for Inter Milan.
As long as they can maintain the fourth place in the league during the tough schedule and not fall behind, the team will be able to take advantage of the two weeks after the winter break to rest and recuperate. The second half will be the time for Inter Milan to make a strong effort.
As for why European wars should be given priority, this is what Yang Huan meant.
Juventus currently dominates the Serie A. Even though Inter Milan has a famous coach like Klopp and many stars this season, it is still a little too young to compete with Juventus.
Moreover, this season is Klopp's first season as coach. Expecting the German to achieve good results in a completely unfamiliar league in his first season is not only a high requirement, but even a bit outrageous.
Therefore, whether from a business perspective or from the perspective of team development, it is beneficial for Inter Milan to compete in European competitions.
And with four consecutive wins in the group stage and qualification as the top team in advance, this is undoubtedly a start that could not have been better.
This is why Yang Huan said that he is quite satisfied with the team.
After hearing Master Huan's praise, the players were all overjoyed.
To be honest, the team has invested a lot, but is currently only ranked fourth in the league, which makes the outside media and fans dissatisfied.
When they heard that Young Master Huan was coming, many players were still worried, wondering whether Young Master Huan would put pressure on the team.
But now it seems that Master Huan has no intention of putting pressure on them. Instead, it seems that he wants them to let go of their burdens and go into battle with a light load.
"I believe everyone knows that this is how I am. I will reward those who have made contributions and punish those who have made mistakes. If you perform well, I will definitely not let you suffer any loss. Therefore, I am discussing with the management that we should give the team a proper increase in treatment."
When the players heard this, they were all happy again, thinking that this was a sign of a salary increase.
Fassone, Blanca and Ausilio looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
They already knew that Young Master Huan came to Milan not only to supervise the battle, but also to spend money.
There is no other way, since Young Master Huan’s trick has always worked.
I heard that a few days ago in Germany, Master Huan gave a bonus of 5 million euros for the match between Hamburg and Bayern Munich. It's so awesome, isn't it?
But the effect is also obvious, all the players tried their best!
"So, I've decided that I will give out huge prizes for the next five games!"
At this point, Yang Huan chuckled, "The first game was against AC Milan, and we won. The prize money is one million euros."
Everyone exclaimed in unison, one million euros for a single game?
Although it is much less than the rumored 5 million for a single game between Hamburg and Bayern Munich, it is still not a small amount.
Unexpectedly, Master Huan then said, "The next game is against Roma. If we win, we will get a bonus of 2 million euros!"
Ah... the players exclaimed again.
"In the third home game against Udinese, if we win three games in a row, we'll get a bonus of 4 million euros!"
Wow!
This time the players were all moved!
If the match between AC Milan and Roma is a strong dialogue, then Udinese, playing at home, isn't that the same as giving away money?
Moreover, the first game is one million, the next game is two million, so if they win three games in a row, wouldn’t that be a prize of seven million euros?
"The fourth game against Lazio, the bonus for four consecutive wins, 8 million euros!"
The players were all dumbfounded.
Eight...eight million euros in winning streak bonus, so the total bonus would be fifteen million euros, right?
Wait, there is the fifth and most important game, an away game against Juventus.
Hence, all the players looked at Young Master Huan eagerly.
Yang Huan smiled slightly, "The fifth game is also the last game before the winter break. We will play against Juventus. If you can win five consecutive games, you will get a bonus of 16 million Euros!"
Stunned!
The players were all stunned!
I have seen rich people, but I have never seen such a rich person!
For five games, a huge prize of 31 million euros was offered!
Isn’t this too outrageous?
Not only the players were dumbfounded, but even the coaching staff and staff were dumbfounded.
You know, they also have a share in this bonus!
As for what Master Huan said afterwards, such as the prize money for a draw would be cut in half, or what would happen if we lost, no one could listen to him.
A bonus of more than 30 million euros is enough for them to earn in a year!
Regardless of anything else, as long as they play these five games well, they can spend Christmas however they want.
There’s no problem in going to the Middle East and pretending to be a rich man!
Yang Huan seemed very satisfied with the players' reactions and the effects he created.
He did it on purpose.
Very rich, right?
Yes, but people die for money and birds die for food. This is the truth.
Players play football for money. Without money, who will play football for you?
He deliberately gave out such a generous bonus in order to inspire the players' fighting spirit.
Aren’t they just five powerful dialogues?
Yang Huan just didn't believe it. With the huge bonus at stake, would the players not fight hard?
Those who are worried that Inter Milan won’t survive Christmas can go to hell!
"I am a man of my words. As soon as the game is over, the prize money will be transferred to the accounts of every player, coaching staff and staff. I will never break my promise!"
After finishing speaking, Yang Huan chuckled and said, "I'll be waiting for your good show in the stands!"
Looking at Young Master Huan's back as he turned and left, everyone in the locker room was still staring in a daze. I'm afraid many people were wondering if they were dreaming.
But soon, one by one they woke up.
Then, bursts of ghostly howlings came from the visiting team's locker room.
This made the AC Milan players who were in the home team's locker room in the same player tunnel feel strange. Some of them even opened the door to see what was going on with these guys.
But soon, when they stepped onto the football field and the game started, they discovered immediately that Inter Milan's players were indeed going crazy. However, even if the Rossoneri players tried hard to stay calm, it was impossible.
To paraphrase a joke from Master Huan in the stands, "Crazy? The commentator from AC Milan said we're crazy?"
"Haha, yes, that's right, we are going crazy, but we are not just going crazy ourselves, we are also going to drag the opponents in, and make them go crazy with us. And with our rich experience, we will completely defeat the opponents and see who is the king of crazy!"
These words... made Fasone and others standing by sweat profusely.
It turns out that the word "nervous" has become a compliment in Young Master Huan's mouth!

"AC Milan sent all its main players to play in this game."
"The goalkeeper is Diego Lopez and the defence from left to right is De Sciglio, Mexes, Rami and Abate."
"The midfield is Montolivo, De Jong and Poli, and the front three is El Shaarawy, Menez and Bonaventura."
"Before the game, AC Milan's head coach Filippo Inzaghi said that the Rossoneri were determined to win this game and they had to beat Inter Milan at home."
"The Nerazzurri's starting lineup is also very strong. Compared with AC Milan's 4-3-3 formation, Klopp used a 4-2-3-1 formation in this game."
"Handanovic is the goalkeeper and the defence is Alex Sandro, Blind, De Vrij and Darmian."
"The two defensive midfielders are Allan and Khedira, the three attacking players in the front court are Felipe Anderson, De Bruyne and Aubameyang, and the lone striker is Pelle."
"Compared to AC Milan's poor lineup, Inter Milan's lineup is strong. Klopp has arranged rotations in both the Europa League and Serie A, especially in the midfield and frontcourt."
"Brazilian midfielder Alan is the biggest discovery of this season. He was Nainggolan's substitute last season, but this season he has performed quite well in Serie A and has taken up a starting position. In terms of the order of appearance, he is not inferior to Nainggolan at all."
"As for the frontcourt, Morata and Dybala, who just played the full game in the Europa League, sat on the bench. They were replaced by Pelle and Felipe Anderson and Aubameyang. This is also the usual configuration in Serie A this season."
As the referee blew the whistle, Inter Milan rushed towards AC Milan like a flood, which forced AC Milan, who kicked off first, to pass the ball to the backcourt quickly.
But Inter Milan's pressure was very determined. After seeing AC Milan pass the ball, they immediately pressed forward, directly forming pressure and oppression in the frontcourt, and soon created an opportunity after intercepting the ball in the midfield.
After Felipe Anderson got the ball on the left, he got rid of the defender and passed the ball across the penalty area. De Bruyne followed up and shot directly. There was a bang and the ball hit the right post heavily, making everyone sweat.
The Belgian midfielder held his head tightly, why was he so unlucky?
The first kick actually hit the goal post?
Oh my god, it was already a sure thing!
Damn it!
But soon, Inter Milan's offensive returned again.
