Chapter 146: I bet
Abramovich sits in the stands at St Mary's Stadium.
His left and right positions are vacant, and then there is the team's executive officer, Ron? Gulley.
Around his position, thirty black-clad bodyguards were scattered everywhere, and many of the director's positions were empty.
This is the pomp and circumstance of the super-rich in Russia!
But this pomp and circumstance, in the crowded stands of St. Mary's Stadium, seemed to be like a small pebble thrown into the ocean, and it couldn't even splash a wave, let alone attract the attention of the audience.
Sitting in a hard seat, Abramovich cursed Southampton's terrible stadium hardware.
But there is no lack of envy, jealousy and hatred in my heart.
At the very least, Southampton's home atmosphere is surprisingly hot.
The game is about to start, and the atmosphere in the stadium is getting more and more enthusiastic, especially when the warm-up band rushed into St. Mary's Stadium and swept the audience with energetic rock music, which ignited the passion in everyone's hearts.
He has to admit that Southampton is really good at creating a home atmosphere.
"Ron, why are they doing so well at home? And our attendance has been declining? β
Abramovich asked Ron beside him with a stern face? Gulley.
The latter would have been former Chelsea seat executive Peter? Kenyon's deputy, in Peter? Kenyon had a conflict with Roman Abramovich, and after leaving Chelsea, Ron? Gulley took over as executive officer.
Because of this, he has always been very conscientious, and he also has lingering feelings about this boss who holds the power of life and death and seems to be kind, but in fact likes life and death.
When he asked this, my heart trembled.
That's not a good question to answer!
"It's due to a lot of things." Ron? Gully said ambiguously.
Abramovich pressed on step by step, "Tell me about it." β
Ron? "On the one hand, our style of play is really not pleasant, from the technical style of the players to the overall tactical characteristics of the team, we can't play hearty and gorgeous attacking football. β
This was laid down in the Ranieri era and reached its peak in the Mourinho era.
Even a number of later managers, including Carlo Ancelotti, who scored 100 goals in his first season in charge, couldn't break it.
Abramovich has always had a knot in his heart.
He was hungry for Chelsea to play a hearty attacking football, but he couldn't.
"What else?"
Ron? Gulley thought for a moment, "Another thing I think has to do with the ageing of the players. β
Seeing that Abramovich didn't say anything, he knew to continue.
"The aging of the players will inevitably lead to the rigidity of the team's tactical style, the lack of the kind of smooth running that fans appreciate now, and the loss of the pleasing tide of offensive, and our group of players are basically old faces that fans have seen for many years, lacking freshness."
"The lack of freshness in the team's tactical style, the lack of freshness in the players, coupled with the gradual aging of the players in recent years, has made the team's competitiveness decline year by year, and finally the home attendance of the team is not high."
Abramovich still didn't say anything, staring ahead and listening silently.
"Actually, this is true in many areas, such as Hollywood."
"In Hollywood, after a star makes a blockbuster commercial blockbuster, there will definitely be a sequel, but generally when the third part is filmed, no matter how good the box office is and how much fans like it, the film company will not consider making a fourth part in a short time, even if it is to be filmed, it must replace the entire star team and put on a new set of faces."
This is a business law in the field of film, and it also applies to football.
Looking at Chelsea, this group of players in the team is basically old faces, and it is inevitable that they will be aesthetically fatigued.
Speaking of which, Ron? Gurley looked at Abramovich with some hesitation.
Eventually, he spoke up.
"Actually, the UK, or all the fans who like the UK, are tired of the current situation in the UK."
"Before the rise of Chelsea, England was always controlled by Manchester United and Arsenal, so as soon as Chelsea rose, it almost caused a major earthquake in English football and even European football, and the momentum caused was very amazing."
"But after we won the championship for two consecutive years, Manchester United was restored, Arsenal declined, and England became a game for Chelsea and Manchester United, especially the semi-finals, which were monopolized by several powerful teams, and Arsenal lacked ambition to win the championship, aiming at the semi-finals every year, which caused the dissatisfaction and indignation of countless fans."
"At the end of the day, they're tired of this kind of clichΓ©."
"In this situation, they need the stimulation of fresh blood, although Manchester City appeared in England, but not as eye-catching as Southampton in League One, because everyone is looking forward to a drama of ** Silk counterattack against Gao Fu Shuai in England!"
"Right now, the whole of England, the whole of Europe, and even the whole world, are expecting one thing."
"That is, whether Southampton can really return to the UK, whether they can continue the money-burning game, and even challenge the status of the traditional powerhouses, and even win the English championship!"
Speaking of which, Ron? Gulley also had to admire in his heart.
In terms of brand concept of publicity and marketing, Southampton is really a success.
Not only do they showcase their brand, but they also export their own ideas, attracting countless resonant fans around them and fanatically following their every move.
Abramovich didn't speak, sitting silently and listening.
All the way to Ron? When Gurley finished speaking, he snorted and smiled proudly, and turned to look at Ron? Gulley.
"They won't have such a chance!"
Chelsea won't allow it, Manchester United won't allow it, and neither will Arsenal nor Liverpool.
Southampton have been excellent this season, but there are already teams plotting to dig into their corners.
Predictably, the better Southampton will be, the more aggressive the opponent's corner will be.
If Southampton don't do a good job of coping with it, they will end up like all other mid-table teams, reduced to the star processing plant of the top giants, trampled in the middle of the pyramid.
Ron? Gulley is also well aware that competition in the football industry is very cruel, especially for capital.
To put it bluntly, football stars are a scarce commodity, and there is no market for them.
The last thing that Haoqiang teams lack is money, and they have a huge poaching advantage.
Just then, Abramovich's phone rang again.
One pick-up, Pinny? Zahavi smiled wryly over there and said, "Roman, he refused!" β
Abramovich stood up, grabbed the guardrail with one hand, gritted his teeth and cursed, ****** the urge to drop the phone next to his ear, but he quickly calmed down and looked at Ron? Gulley.
"What are our chances of winning this game?"
Ron? Gulley doesn't know how to answer, before a football game is over, who dares to say that it is a sure win?
"Pretty much 94 percent of bettors have bought us at Chelsea, and we've got half a half."
Abramovich snorted and spoke into the phone again, "Mention it again, fifty million pounds, if he wins, I'll give him two players for free, and if he loses, sell him Neymar to me!" β
At the mention of Neymar, the fire in Abramovich's heart erupted uncontrollably.
He had just failed to recruit him, but when he turned around, the damned League One team had Neymar in their hands.
What is it?
Is this a slap in the face?
Why did he go to great lengths to drive the Eclipse into Southampton, just to slap the Chinese in the face.
But now, instead of making a face, he slapped his face.
If he doesn't get this breath back, he won't be reconciled!
"Roman, this ......" Pinny? Zahavi thought it was crazy.
Abramovich didn't listen to him, "If you sue him again, if you dare to bet, you can bet, the conditions are easy to negotiate, and if you don't dare to bet, you are a bad seed, that's all!" "I just hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, he looked down and muttered, "Ancelotti, you'd better give me a big score to win this game!" β
At this time, the lights of the stadium dimmed.
All the lights in the stadium were concentrated at one point and fell at the exit of the players' tunnel.
A lively and beautiful girl, wearing a Southampton jersey, walked out of the players' tunnel amid the cheers of the fans and the focus of the lights.
She was surrounded by young female dancers.
But in this group of people, her purity, her stunning beauty, her tallness and vitality are all so prominent.
"Who is she?" Abramovich was stunned, this woman was so beautiful, so beautiful.
He swore that he had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life!
Even he, who has always disliked Oriental women, can't help but be thrilled by it.
Especially the lively vitality that emanates from her.
"She?" Ron? Gulli looked at it intently, "Oh, her name is Lin Yun'er, and the female star who has become popular in recent times seems to be Korean, and it is said that Yang Huan is popular." β
At the beginning, Yang Huan smashed Aston Martin in South Korea for her, and it was also published in major British newspapers.
"Really?" A hint of discoloration flashed in Abramovich's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled.
He's tempted!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Master Huan, Mr. Abramovich has made the final condition, a transfer fee of 50 million pounds, once we win, Southampton will let it go, if we lose, Mr. Abramovich will let you pick two players in the Chelsea team."
"Free transfer!"
Pini? When Zahavi said this, everyone around him was stunned.
It's not a bet anymore, it's just a fight.
Could it be that because Yang Huan didn't let him stop the Eclipse in Southampton, he wanted to take revenge?
"He's so confident?" Yang Huan also felt that this condition was a bit outrageous.
Pini? Zahavi couldn't help but laugh, he also thought it was outrageous.
But there is no way, he is just a microphone, just conveying.
"Mr. Abramovich also said, if you dare to bet, you can gamble, if you are not satisfied with the conditions, you can talk again, and if you don't dare to bet, you will ......"
He didn't dare to say the last sentence, for fear that Yang Huan would be angry with him.
When Yang Huan heard this, he was also angry.
I don't dare bet?
Damn, there's nothing in the world that I wouldn't dare bet on!
I was forced to the door of my house, and so many people around me watched, if I didn't dare to gamble, how embarrassed would I be?
"Okay, I'm betting!"
Yang Huan stood up again.
"I have one condition, though!"
Pini? Zahavi looked at Yang Huan's relieved mouth, and his heart was relieved, "Conditions? Just say it! β
"Although they are a British team, we are a League One team, but I don't think we are weaker than them at all, so, you sue SΓΉ Abramovich, no matter how big the bet is, I will accompany you, but not only do we not need him to let us, we are at home, we let them, even if we lose in a draw!"
Yang Huan said this arrogantly, but Nikolai on the side? Cortez's heart shook.
What a good advantage, Master Huan doesn't want it, forget it, and give it to the other party in turn, this ......
But he is also a man of backbone.
There is a good saying, a loser does not lose.
In this case, if you admit defeat, it will be really intolerable.
