When Yang Huan arrived at Staupwood, he saw that outside the gate of the training base, there were people everywhere.

The lanterns are colorful, as if they are going to celebrate a festival.

When the crowd saw the Ragonda conqueror, they immediately branched out and let Yang Huan pass.

Even someone began to shout Young Master Huan, obviously recognizing Yang Huan.

"There are too many people," Ryugo said with a smile as he drove in front of him.

"Let me get out of the car at the gate," Yang Huan said.

Although there are many people, they are very well-behaved.

When security guard Peter opened the gate and let Yang Huan's car in, the fans outside were very well-behaved, and no one wanted to rush in.

It can be seen that in their eyes, Staupwood is the heart of the team, a holy place, and there is no place to be offended.

Yang Huan got out of the car, and there was a burst of cheers outside.

Saint Peter was in a very good mood, and his face was red as if congested.

"Young Master Huan, there are many of them, they came before dawn, and I was so scared that I thought something was happening."

Although he complained a little, Peter couldn't have laughed more.

After all these years, when has Southampton been as beautiful as it is now?

Europa League winners

This is something that no Southampton fan could have dreamed of before

In the past, they dreamed of Southampton returning to the Premier League and even relegation in the Premier League.

But now, he has returned to the Premier League, not to mention the two domestic cup championships, and also won a Europa League title.

This is the first European title in Southampton's more than 100-year history, can they not be excited?

"How many are there?" Yang Huan laughed and asked.

Standing inside the gate, outside the door of the security room, I only felt that there were people everywhere.

"I'm afraid there are thousands of people here, and I received the news that today is a celebration for the whole city, and those shops, schools, etc., are all on holiday, I'm afraid I'm going crazy," Peter said excitedly.

"Really?" Yang Huan was a little surprised, even the school, the store or something, are on holiday?

Isn't that outrageous?

Southampton has about 200,000 people, of which 40,000 or 50,000 are students, and a large number of students are students from all over the world, so in the past, the Saints have always placed great emphasis on developing fans among students.

For example, students can get discounts on tickets and season tickets.

There are not many teams that give discounts to students, and big teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea do not have this benefit.

But Southampton did, and the discount was not small.

The reason is simple: after finishing their studies, these students do not necessarily stay in the UK, but return to their home countries.

At that time, they will bring back this affection for the saints.

This is a huge benefit for Southampton's future development.

And it's not just students from Southampton who come to St Mary's to watch the game, there are even many students from London, Oxford, Cambridge and even Manchester who come to Southampton to watch the game.

The Saints are also very kind to these students, unlike other teams, which place student tickets in some garbage slots.

Instead, the Saints placed their students in a relatively well-located area.

It is also because of the details made by the club that Southampton has a very good evaluation among the students.

The club has also launched a series of intimate services for other fan groups.

Although the team has increased more operating costs as a result, it has brought a better experience to the fans and greatly improved the team's image.

Peter didn't know that his words made Young Master Huan make so many associations, and he seemed to be still immersed in the excitement and joy of celebration

"Young Master Huan, I also heard Harry say last night, their Saint Harry, and several other official fan clubs, all plan to start today, and in the next few days, they will hold all kinds of celebrations, and when the time comes, the city will definitely be extremely lively."

Yang Huan couldn't help nodding, "Then you can tell Harry, if you need any help, just talk to the club."

"Understood," Peter smiled and nodded in agreement.

Yang Huan patted Peter's shoulder again, said a few words of encouragement, turned around and walked away to the training building.

In the parking lot of the training building, there is an open-top double-decker luxury bus, which the team has specially rented.

The exterior of the bus has long been painted with Southampton's colours and team crest, as well as four championship trophies.

This represents Southampton's achievements over the past season

When Yang Huan passed by the bus, he saw several youth team boys in the team talking around the bus.

Listening to their tone, it seemed that they could not express their envy, and they wished that they could board the bus and go to the parade with the players of the first team.

Yang Huan recognized a lot of people from it.

For example, England rookies Luke Shaw, Chambers, Prowse, Patrick Roberts and so on.

There are also Academy players brought in from outside Southampton, such as Januzaj, Kovacic and many more.

The whole team, whether it is Bielsa, or the person in charge of youth training! Griffa and Madonie are full of praise for the quality of these young players, believing that they will certainly be able to support Southampton in the coming years.

And they also performed quite eye-catching in a youth team event invested and planned by Yang Huan this season.

These are the people who are the hope for the future of Southampton

"Master Huan"

"Hello Young Master Huan"

"Master Huan, good morning"

As soon as these young generals saw Yang Huan coming over, they immediately greeted them one by one with a smile.

In fact, Yang Huan was not much older than them, but at this time, he had to pretend to be old and wave and smile at them.

"Don't be envious, work hard to improve your strength, it won't be long before you can definitely get on this bus"

The group of young players all laughed one by one, but they all kept nodding.

"It's just ......"

Yang Huan paused deliberately to calm everyone down.

"When the time comes, we will not celebrate the Championship, the Europa League, we will celebrate the Premier League, and the European Cup, and I hope you can hang the Premier League trophy and the St. Bride Cup in the Champions League on the team bus."

The group of boys was suddenly excited.

Premier league?

It used to be so far away, but now, it's so close to them.

Next season, the team will go to the Premier League

As for the Champions League, it is a stage that can only be dreamed of.

Seeing Southampton's impressive performance in the Europa League this season, who dares to say that the Champions League is far away?

Hearing this exciting encouragement from Young Master Huan, this group of young generals suddenly seemed to be greatly encouraged.

When Yang Huan walked up to the second floor, they all shouted that they wanted to go back to training

That look, Yang Huan couldn't help but laugh.

Pass the corridor on the second floor and past Bielsa's manager's office.

The door to the Argentine maniac's office was open, but the people in the office were staring at the wall with their backs to the door.

There are sticky notes on the walls, and at the top are the names of two great footballers.

"These are the names of two of the greatest managers in Argentine history."

Although Bielsa didn't look back, he seemed to see Yang Huan standing at the door.

Yang Huan didn't think that this madman was pretending, because he was such a nonsensical person.

Always thinking about it all of a sudden and inexplicably.

And many things that are not necessary to worry about in the eyes of normal people can make him think for many days.

This is a guy who is more serious than death

"Menotti" Bielsa pointed first to the left and then to the right, "Bilardo"

Yang Huan has heard the names of these two people, both of whom are great coaches who have led Argentina to win the World Cup.

But he wondered, could it be something that stimulated the Argentine madman?

Otherwise, how could Bielsa be staring at the wall for no reason?

"The two of them represent two different styles of football"

Bielsa still didn't look back, looking at the wall, a bit like muttering to himself.

I believe that even if it was not Yang Huan who was standing beside him at this time, but someone else, he would say so.

Sometimes, people have to find someone to talk to.

It's actually a very painful thing to keep everything in your heart.

"Menotti is the quintessential aesthetician, while Bilardo is the quintessential pragmatist, representing the two extremes of Argentine football."

When he said this, Bielsa suddenly turned back and smiled at Yang Huan.

"You know what? I spent sixteen years studying both of them, eight to Menotti and another eight to Bilardo, before I started coaching Newell's Old Boys. ”

If it was just a smile, Yang Huan wouldn't think there was anything wrong.

But this smile, coupled with this sentence, made him can't help but have a creepy feeling.

Sixteen years, my dear

How crazy, what an unbelievable thing it must be for a guy to spend sixteen years preparing to become a head coach?

And it is said that Bielsa's family is quite good, belonging to the upper class of Argentina, his brother was once Argentina's foreign minister, and his sister is also the mayor of a large Argentine city.

Such a person, who spent sixteen years, just to become a head coach?

Yang Huan had heard people say that Bielsa was an Argentine madman.

But it wasn't until this moment that he really felt why he was a madman

This kind of person is not a madman, so who is a madman?

"Menotti values ethereal inspiration the most, he thinks football is unpredictable, but I don't think so"

"Because I believe that no one can keep that inspiration forever, because it's always fleeting, and the next time, I don't know when it's coming, how can that team, that player, rely on this kind of thing?"

Although Yang Huan doesn't understand the core of football tactics very well, he also feels that this is indeed the case.

What is the most important thing about modern football tactics?

Steady dìng

Long-term, stable dìng high-level performance

It's true for the team, it's the same for the stars, and you can't be successful without stability.

"Bilardo is the opposite, he likes to study his opponents with a lot of videos, he thinks football is predictable, so he is a routineist, some say dogmatism, but I am different from him."

Saying this, the Argentine looked back and smiled, with a little bit of wisdom.

"He studies routines, he studies opponents, it's for defense, and I'm different, I'm for offense"

At the end, he laughed a little self-deprecatingly, but also a little smug smile.

"This point, I am the same as Menotti, everything we do is for the attack"

Yang Huan suddenly had a feeling that Bielsa's coaching career had actually been pursuing his own football philosophy and turning it into reality

He's not Menotti, he's not Bilardo, he's Bielsa

A one-of-a-kind Bielsa

Probably every manager is like that

They may have been nurtured and influenced by countless predecessors, and they are constantly learning the strengths and advantages of others.

But in their bones, they are still pursuing their own way of football

It is a philosophy of football that cannot be described in simple words, and it is impossible to explain it clearly.

It can't be simply reduced to words like offense, defense, balance, and ball control.

It can only be achieved by comprehension

On the pitch, the team's table is shown and the spectators can comprehend it for themselves.

Some people understand, but some people don't.

This is true of football, but is it also true of being a human being?
