Yang Huan didn't know that Manchester United was determined to dig into his corner, and he was not interested in knowing.

After announcing Messi's arrival, he dealt with some aftermath in Southampton before returning to China for a vacation.

Once this person has been working for a long time, even if it is a machine, he has to stop and change the oil, and clear the oil circuit, right?

It wasn't until Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes made a bloody and tearful phone call that Young Master Huan was pulled back into the whirlpool of European football.

There is no way, as a worldly person, how can you ignore mundane things?

Jorge Mendes' cry was not entirely unreasonable, he ran hard to seduce Barcelona, begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and finally persuaded Barcelona to pay 35 million euros and decided to buy Monaco's Argentine midfielder Biglia.

But as a result, Michael Bolingbrook, the CEO of Nimeh and Monaco, had already reached an agreement with Manchester United to sell Biglia to Old Trafford for 45 million euros.

Isn't that all the hard work Jorge Mendes has made before in vain?

Yang Huan had no choice but to appease him with kind words, promising that if there was a big deal, he would definitely find Mendes to do it.

The Portuguese were purely just to ask for a favor in front of Young Master Huan, and they accepted it when they saw it, and readily agreed.

Yang Huan sighed, shaking his head and smiling secretly in his heart.

Michael Bolingbrook is making money for himself, and he has made an extra fifteen million euros for no reason, is he still not happy? It's hard to find such a good subordinate with a lantern!

After hanging up Mendes' phone, Yang Huan also felt that his vacation was almost over, so he set off for the United States.

One of the main reasons why Southampton has arranged a training camp in China this summer is the Premier League carnival held by WeChat Video, which includes Southampton's trophy exhibition.

As the European hegemon of the Premier League three times in a row and the Champions League twice, coupled with the background of Chinese investors, the Saints have quickly become the most popular European giants among domestic fans in recent years.

Under the guidance of Miracle Media, the first warm-up match after Southampton's summer training camp was arranged in Longhai, China, against Tottenham Hotspur, who had just introduced Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid.

This game has caused a huge repercussion in China, and it can be said that the whole country is paying attention.

Messi vs. Cristiano Ronaldo, such a gimmick is absolutely appealing.

However, it is a pity that Cristiano Ronaldo played the whole game in this warm-up game, but Messi only played half the game before being replaced by Sanchez.

But even so, Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice, and Messi also scored a goal.

Southampton defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4-2 to win their first warm-up match.

This pinnacle duel between the Premier League giants and the world's top superstars quickly detonated the entire summer warm-up match.

After this match, Southampton went to the United States, and the matches between the two major regions of the International Champions Cup were also hotly matched.

And the Saints have once again proved their strong appeal in North America.

Southampton's first international Champions Cup match in North America was played at Century Link Stadium in Seattle on the West Coast.

It's the home of the Seattle Seahawks, with a capacity of 67,000, but this game has poured in more than 70,000 fans.

As a result, in front of the fans in attendance, the Saints beat Manchester City 3-1.

Although Manchester City's two new signings, Aboubakar and Kevin De Bruyne, both played, and Southampton's 150 million euro Messi did not even make the squad, the Saints still proved their strength with a dominant performance.

Judging from the two games against Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, the media is still relatively satisfied with Ancelotti's coaching.

The Italian coach has basically inherited Bielsa's tactical system and has not made much changes overall.

Even, in terms of arrangement, it basically follows Bielsa's main force last season.

Neuer was in goal, Luke Shaw, Aymeric Laporte, Raphael Varane and Chambers at the back, Toni Kroos in midfield, Paul Pogba and Cesc Fabregas up front, and Eden Hazard, Luis Suarez and Alexis Sanchez in the trident.

Superstar Lionel Messi only played half of the Premier League match against Longhai, and against Manchester City in the International Champions Cup, he didn't even make the squad.

It's not that Messi is injured, but because of the advice given by the team doctors after a detailed examination of Messi's body.

Southampton have given several players who will be playing in the Copa America this summer, such as Danilo, Oscar and Angel Di Maria, extended leave to give them a good rest.

Although Messi was stimulated by the Copa America and was reluctant to continue the holiday, the team doctors were unwilling to let him participate in high-intensity training and games too early, but developed a targeted recovery training plan for him.

There is no way to do it.

You must know that Messi has really been overused in the past few years, especially in the last two years, and his body is already quite tired, and it can even be said that if he doesn't adjust and recover well, Messi will continue to be injured in the future.

So, out of protection, Southampton will not prematurely arrange Messi to play.

After beating Manchester City in their opening game, the Saints continued south along the west coast and soon followed up with a 3-0 win over Juventus and a narrow 2-1 win over Bayern Munich to make it three wins in a row in the group stage of the International Champions League.

Later, in the knockout round of the semi-finals, the Saints defeated Atletico Madrid 2-0 and reached the final.

This time, the final was scheduled to be held in New York against Southampton and Real Madrid.

Carlo Ancelotti met his old club again, but he showed no mercy to his subordinates, taking advantage of the fact that Benitez's team had not yet been formed, and defeated Real Madrid with a clean 4-0 victory and won the North American championship of the International Champions Cup.

Suarez was voted the top scorer in North America with six goals in five games.

But surprisingly, it was Saints midfielder Paul Pogba who was voted Player of the Match.

After Di Maria's delayed return due to the Copa America, Paul Pogba stepped into the team's midfield, but the French midfielder was surprising with four goals and five assists in five games.

Especially in the final, Pogba shot two passes and was voted the best player of the final.

This also made everyone sigh at the strong bench strength of the Saints, and at the same time made people full of curiosity about Southampton's lineup in the new season, with Pogba's excellent performance, he definitely deserves a main position.

However, Di Maria's performance last season was equally impressive, so who should be the one to blame?

Others are of the view that Cesc Fabregas, who had been average in the International Champions Cup, should be taken and replaced by Paul Pogba in partnership with Di Maria.

Also looking forward to it is the combination of the front trident.

Perhaps stimulated by Messi's joining, Sanchez performed quite vigorously in the International Champions Cup, and he had the determination and courage to defend his main position even in the face of Messi.

In the case that Messi will definitely occupy one of the positions, who Ancelotti will win has also become a big suspense.

Atletico Madrid, also in the North American division, finished third.

Simeone's side have made only one signing this season, and that is the Brazilian Willian from Tottenham Hotspur.

But for the Sheets, it's more like strengthening the bench.

However, judging from the performance in the International Champions Cup, the four midfielders of Isco, Krichowiak, Ilia Ramendi and Koke have performed very steadily, and the overall strength has improved steadily compared to last season.

The North American division is very popular, and the Asian division is also exciting.

In particular, Inter Milan, which introduced midfield reinforcement Pjanic, won five consecutive victories in one go, successively defeated Barcelona, Manchester United and other giants, and won the Asian championship.

Jurgen Klopp's line-up is not too surprising, with the backline largely continuing from last season's set-up, with the main changes being in midfield.

Pjanic played the role of playmaker in midfield, and he partnered Khedira and Nainggolan to great effect.

In the forward midfield position, Dybala undoubtedly pressed Jovetic and played the role.

Up front, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the main force, with Felipe Anderson on the left and Cuadrado on the right.

Inter Milan's attacking combination was full of attacking power, scoring 15 goals in five matches in the International Champions League, which was quite vigorous, and the defence was very solid, conceding only three goals.

This also makes people look forward to the performance of Jurgen Klopp's team in the new season.

On the contrary, Monaco, who shone last season, were eliminated in the group stage this season.

Koeman's side enjoyed a round of metabolism after sending off the likes of Biglia, Tulalang and Capoue.

The arrival of Schneiderlin, Sanson and Wanyama has made the competition in midfield fierce.

Koeman tried several different combinations, but none of them worked very well.

Judging from the performance of the International Champions Cup, Monaco still has a long way to go if they want to continue their excellent performance last season.

However, on the front line, although the new signing Hernandez is a newcomer, he has shown aggressive spirit from the beginning, and has the ability to compete with Mitrovic for the number one striker, and his performance in the International Champions Cup has also overwhelmed Warcraft II.

Due to the lack of plans to expand the International Champions Cup in the near future, coupled with the shortage of participating places, teams such as Hamburg and Ajax have not been able to participate in the International Champions Cup, but they have participated in the North American Challenge and Asia Invitational Tournament organized by Miracle Media.

It is worth mentioning the burger.

On Tuchel's recommendation, Hamburg signed German midfielder Geiss from Mainz this summer, while spending another 30 million euros to bring in Gotze from Bayern Munich, and the two players form Hamburg's midfield squad for the new season with Weigel.

At the back, Ginter replaced Dickmeier at right-back, Dante and Emre Can formed a centre-back combination, left-back Kolasinac, plus goalkeeper Oblak, Hamburg's squad can also be described as strong.

Judging by the performances in the warm-up games, Tuchel's side are also worth looking forward to.

At least, with Hamburg's current cards, the chances of competing for the league title are still relatively small, but there should be little problem in retaining Champions League qualification.

This is also very in line with Yang Huan's positioning of the Hamburg team.

At least in the next two or three years, the Hamburg team will be more of an accumulation.

Giving up too early to fight Bayern Munich for the title is not necessarily a good thing for Hamburg.

Of course, Hamburg will not be aiming for the title, but if given the chance, they will certainly go for it.

After all, the Bundesliga kings have not seen a championship trophy for decades, and if they can win a trophy and stimulate the fans, it will definitely be a good thing.

As soon as the International Champions Cup came to an end, the time entered August.

Southampton returned to England from the United States to prepare for the Community Shield against Arsenal.

And Yang Huan also ushered in a big event.

That's the Premier League chairman's summit in March.

This time, it's noticeably different.
