Chapter 538: Don't take Chelsea as a tyrant

80_80813 "Master Huan! ”

"Hello Young Master Huan!"

When Yang Huan pushed open the door of the conference room and strode in, everyone in the conference room suddenly stood up in unison.

The meeting here today is all at the heart of Southampton.

These include Staptwood's head coach Bielsa, head assistant coach Luis Borini, Ramon Madoni in the scouting department, Jorge Griffa, youth team leader Les Reid and many more.

The administrative office at St. Mary's Stadium includes Executive Chairman Nicolas Cortez, Chief Executive Officer Peter Kenyon, Chief Operating Officer Ron Goorley, and other key leaders in the office.

It also includes key executives in the medical and analytics departments, such as Marcus du Satoy and Howard Hamilton, who are now key players in Southampton.

In terms of personnel alone, Southampton can afford to lose to any of the continent's biggest teams.

When Yang Huan walked into the conference room, he had a bright smile on his face and waved his hand to everyone who stood up, "All sit, all sit!" ”

He walked to the vacant position at the top and sat down directly.

After glancing at it and seeing that everyone present had sat down, Young Master Huan smiled and spoke.

"Alright, let's have a meeting!"

Yang Huan gave an order, and as the moderator of the meeting, Nicolas Cortez took the lead in speaking on the agenda of the meeting.

Peter Kenyon then gave an overview of the club's operations over the past month, as did Luis Borini from the coaching staff.

Originally, Bielsa was in charge of the athletic side, but everyone knows that Argentine madmen don't like to talk much, and even the dressing room lectures are usually handled by Luis Bolini, so the report is usually handed over to Bolini.

Overall, things are going well in Southampton.

Southampton have been very satisfying in terms of team management and results, even if it has caused quite a bit of controversy recently.

After listening to the reports from all sides, Yang Huan immediately raised his own questions.

"The team's table has slipped recently, Marcus, what do you think?"

Marcus Du Satoy is also prepared, "Master Huan, since December last year, we have actively cooperated with the coaching staff to adjust the training of the players, the purpose is to hope that the team can be in a better and better state to compete in the second half, for this reason, we have also fully learned from the practices of many teams including Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and other teams in the past ten years. ”

Yang Huan nodded, "Does that have an effect?" ”

"Well, of course!" Professor Satoy nodded confidently.

"It's about the individual players and you have to analyze them individually, but the whole situation of the team is in our plan."

"Good, good!" Yang Huan nodded in praise.

One sentence is tantamount to affirming the achievements of Professor Satoy and his team.

There are so many aspects involved in this that you need to have a lot of expertise to figure out.

Yang Huan asked himself if he didn't have this level, so he didn't want to go deeper, he just wanted to know if the team could handle it.

Since Bielsa has no problem as head coach and Professor Satoi is so confident, then there must be no problem.

"Marcelo!" Yang Huan looked at Bielsa, "Varane's situation has not been very good recently, what do you think?" ”

After Bielsa was named, he nodded: "Yes, from the own goal guide Zì's team being eliminated from the League Cup, to the two goals conceded against Manchester United, Varane's situation is indeed quite bad, but I believe he can overcome it. ”

Raphael Varane is widely regarded within the squad as a key player in the future Saints centre-back.

Nearly perfect physique, quite good technique at the feet, excellent big-picture vision, calm and mature personality all contribute to Varane's indisputable prospects.

Even if it weren't for the own goal incident and the frequent mistakes against Manchester United, Varane would have been crowned a world-class centre-back by many fans and media.

It's just that the recent mistakes have reminded everyone that he is only nineteen years old!

"What can the team do?" Yang Huan asked again.

Bielsa thought for a while, shook his head and said: "This is a psychological problem, he needs to overcome it by himself, I will talk to him more, and arrange for him to rest a few games at the same time, I believe that he can come out." ”

"What about the renewal?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

"Renewal?" Bielsa was a little surprised.

"Yes, I think that Varane has been excellent and stable this season, and it is time to start renewing his contract, which is the reward he deserves, and renewing his contract at this time can be regarded as our affirmation and encouragement to him!"

Young Master Huan's words, everyone present listened to them and nodded incessantly.

This boss is good and reliable!

The owners of other teams are all players who make trouble with their agents in order to fight for a contract extension.

But our boss is not, but sees that you are excellent and takes the initiative to renew your contract, how rare is it?

"That's it, Ron, go back and talk to his agent and negotiate a contract extension before the end of the season!"

After Yang Huan paused, he added, "Remember, he will be the core of our defense for the next ten years!" ”

This sentence is equivalent to establishing Varane's core position in the Southampton team.

How many players can be so valued by Young Master Huan?

Manuel Neuer, Toni Kroos, Ibrahimovic, who else?

Like, it's gone!

"Young Master Huan, since you want to renew Varane's contract, how will Gary Cahill's problem be solved?" Ron Gurley also asked his own questions.

So far this season, Gary Cahill has clearly fallen behind Raphael Varane and even Nastasic in the order of central defence, which has made Gary Cahill unhappy.

The main central defender of the British Empire can only sit on the bench in Southampton?

And, is it a bench within a bench?

So, during the winter break, Gary Cahill's agent began contacting buyers.

Not to mention, this connection came out immediately.

Chelsea!

The Sun has rumoured that Roman Abramovich has decided to invite Jose Mourinho, who has only recently stepped down from the Real Madrid presidency, to return to Stamford Bridge next season, while the Portuguese has asked for a central defender, and Gary Cahill is said to be the first choice.

"Does Abramovich really want it?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

Ron Gurley nodded, "Yes, Granovskia personally called me to ask for Gary Cahill's transfer fee, and I can tell that they really want it, and they are said to have been in contact with the player. ”

Yang Huan was noncommittal, with Varane maturing rapidly and becoming the backbone of the team's defense, and Nastasic also growing rapidly, Gary Cahill was obviously not reused by Bielsa at Southampton, and the transfer was transferred, which is not a big deal.

"Then you sue Chelsea, our Southampton players, under 20 million pounds, they don't expect to buy them!"

"Twenty million?"

As soon as Yang Huan's words came out, everyone in the conference room was shocked.

Twenty million pounds?

Just kidding, right?

If Gary Cahill was worth the price last summer, it was a bit of a possibility, but now that he has become a substitute, who would be so stupid as to spend ÂŁ20 million to buy someone else's replacement?

"Young Master Huan, I'm afraid Abramovich isn't so bold, right?" Ron Gurley smiled wryly.

Yang Huan laughed, "Who said no?" You don't know, our Abramovich has a lot of money, 60 million pounds to buy Tony Kroos, without blinking, and he gave it to us directly, 20 million to buy Gary Cahill, a trivial matter, if you offer too little, Chelsea will be unhappy, and think you don't treat them as tyrants! ”

Everyone knew the cause and effect well, and when they heard Young Master Huan say this, they all burst into laughter.

If Abramovich hears it, Young Master Huan will make fun of him, and he may be so angry that he vomits three liters of blood.

"Also, if you tell Chelsea again, you can buy if you like, don't buy and pull down, anyway, Gary Cahill has no shortage of interested buyers!"

Just kidding, the dignified England main international central defender, will there be any team interested?

It's just a matter of price!

Peter Kenyon felt that Young Master Huan seemed to be talking nonsense, but in fact it made a lot of sense.

Just because Gary Cahill doesn't fit Southampton's tactical style shift doesn't mean he doesn't have the ability.

Just ask, if the England international is not capable, can he become the main player of the national team? Can you partner with Terry?

Since they have the ability, the best option for Southampton is to transfer abroad, or to a mid-to-lower team, so that they will not strengthen their competitors.

If Chelsea force it, yes, you have to pay a higher transfer fee than others!

Otherwise, simply send it back to Bolton, Gary Cahill doesn't reject his old club anyway.

"Understood, Young Master Huan, we'll talk about it!" Peter Kenyon's eyes flashed and he nodded in agreement.

Yang Huan smiled appreciatively at Mr. Bald, talking to smart people is to save trouble.

"Okay, next!"

With Young Master Huan's order, one topic after another began to be discussed in the conference room.

For example, the R&D department recently proposed a new training program, including improving the team's diet, adjusting the team's training program, and a series of measures that are said to improve and improve the players' physical fitness, including improving fitness and reducing injuries.

A very important part of the training program is related to Huang Wenying's TCM massage team.

This undoubtedly aroused Yang Huan's great interest.

After investing so much money every year, can you not be happy that you are finally seeing some results?

Moreover, it can also promote traditional Chinese medicine by the way, killing two birds with one stone!

So, everyone present was there, so they just spread it out and talked about it.

After all, it's about the team, and people from all departments have to participate in the discussion.

Bielsa, who is a top player in the sporting world, believes that it should be done from a cautious point of view during the summer preparations.

It's a crucial time for the league and if something goes wrong, everyone in the team will have worked all season in vain.

It can be arranged until the summer preparation period, the risk is controllable, the scientific staff and the analysis team are always watching the team, and if there is a problem, adjust it immediately, and the impact on the new season is not great.

If it works, then promote it and the team will benefit as well.

In the end, Bielsa's mention was agreed upon by everyone, and the matter was settled.

And in February, a lot of things start to need to be planned.

For example, Southampton is preparing for the summer season, because it is still going to the United States to participate in the second International Champions Cup, so Southampton's training camp is still in the United States.

With last year's experience, this year's operation is more handy, and many things have been prepared for a long time, so there is no big problem, that is, the administrative department draws up a plan, takes it out for discussion, and then announces that it is confirmed.

There is another issue that is also very important and should be identified as soon as possible.

That's how Southampton's summer transfer market works.

As early as after the Southampton match against Arsenal, Yang Huan had a very in-depth discussion with Bielsa at St Mary's Stadium, and in the following month, both Staoptwood and St Mary's were also studying these issues.

Now, it's undoubtedly time to make a decision!
