Chapter 789: This Is Too Outrageous, Isn't It?
As a famous harbour city on the south coast of England with a history of more than 1,000 years, Southampton has always given the impression of being thriving, quiet and relaxed.
In the words of many international students, this is a very literate city.
For example, the residents here, almost every house, all the places that can be placed, are put with flowers and plants.
Here, you won't see the hustle and bustle of the bustling metropolis, nor the bustling lights, nor the suffocating pace of life in London, an hour's drive away.
It's slow here, everything is slow, slow and comfortable.
Under the cloudless blue sky, the sea breeze blowing slowly from the Solent Strait, the red brick houses surrounded by flowers and trees, everything is so beautiful and peaceful.
This is Southampton!
A city to live in!
But no one thought that such a city, such a group of residents whose life is so slow and almost lazy, suddenly broke out into incredible madness.
Just last night, almost the entire city was in a frenzied celebration.
Almost all of them took to the streets, celebrating in a profligate manner, as if to vent the passion that they had suppressed in their hearts for a long, long time, and perhaps even in their lives.
It's hard to describe exactly what happened in this city last night, but anyone who takes to the streets the next day and looks at the garbage and debris on the streets that were so clean that they seem to be spotless, at the broken bottles of wine everywhere, at the drunks who are still lying on the side of the road, sleeping in front of other people's shops......
Even the sanitation workers, who are punctual and conscientious on weekdays, even went out of work.
Everyone will be stunned and ask, "Oh my God, what's wrong with this city?" ”
It is even very suspicious that the riots in north London three years ago were repeated in Southampton?
Occasionally, drunks who fell on the side of the street struggled to get up with sleepy eyes, and they could smell the smell of alcohol all over their bodies from a distance, so that people would stay away and dare not approach.
But he saw you!
"Hey, excuse me, what time is it?" The drunk man scratches his scalp, looks itchy and uncomfortable.
"Half past nine in the morning!"
"Oh damn it, it's so late!" The drunk seemed to be awakened.
Turning around, I saw a few other people still lying on the side of the road, walked over quickly, and kicked lightly with my foot.
"Hey, get up, the plane has arrived!"
"Wake up, the plane has arrived!"
"Hurry up, we're too late!"
The drunkards were woken up one by one, and when they heard that it was half past nine, they were all startled.
As a result, it didn't take long for the drunks on the street to get up one by two and walk towards the north.
Some even use the running ones altogether!
"Oh my God, what the hell is going on?"
Further north, you will soon be able to hear movement.
It was loud, as if there were thousands of people making voices at the same time.
The closer you get to Southampton Airport's new main road to Glory Place, the more people and crowds become.
In the end, even the sides of the road were crowded.
The whole new main road was full of people, inside and out.
The earth-shattering sound that I heard from afar just now was made by this group of people.
"Excuse me, what's going on?"
Grabbed a passerby and asked.
"Today is the festival of our Saints fans, the team won the Champions League and the Premier League, they are marching around the city, all the Saints fans are coming, hey, you are not wearing the team shirt, you are not a Saints fan!"
With that, he broke free and walked away.
It's as if you're not a Saints fan, it's not the same person as him.
Is this still the gentle and friendly Southampton residents?
Champions League winners?
Premier League champions?
Can you make the whole city empty?
Is this outrageous, crazy?
But that's the beauty of football!
Not just in Southampton, but in the whole of South London, as well as in the surrounding area of the Saints, it was almost the same crowd, because all the fans who supported the Saints Southampton gathered here.
The newly built municipal thoroughfare, from Southampton Airport to Glory Square, was jammed with fans frantically gathered, and even the uncovered buses carrying the players and coaches, as well as the two most important championship trophies, were unable to move an inch.
But even more terrifying is in Glory Square.
On this artificial island, the black press is full of people, densely packed, all looking forward to the team's return from the parade, because there is a ceremony to welcome the St. Pauled Cup.
This is the first St. Bolled Cup in Southampton's club history!
Therefore, the whole ceremony is very grand.
……
"Young Master Huan, morning!"
"Good morning!"
Yang walked happily into the Hall of Honor of the Saints at the Glory Stadium, greeting everyone with a smile on his face.
His smile hasn't disappeared from his face since his team won the Champions League last night.
Listening to Zhuang Ziqing and Zhang Ning, he was laughing even in his dream last night, God knows if it's true or not?
Go straight to Nikola Cortez, only to find Peter Kenyon and Ron Gurley and others there.
"It's almost time, where is the team bus?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.
According to the original plan, the ceremony to welcome the Champions League trophy was supposed to take place at twelve o'clock.
But now, I don't even see the shadow of the bus.
"Young Master Huan, I'm afraid I'll have to wait a little longer." Nikolai Cortez smiled wryly.
"What's going on?" Yang Huan was a little strange.
"The road is blocked!"
"Blocked?" Yang Huan was a little surprised, but quickly laughed, "How long has it been since you got from the airport here?" It's all here! ”
Peter Kenyon also walked over at this time, and he also smiled helplessly and bitterly, "Young Master Huan, it is estimated that you can't even walk now." ”
"Really?" Yang Huan was a little skeptical, this is too outrageous, right?
"Now, why don't you ask the mayor yourself!"
Just then, Terry Matthews, who was in the Southampton market in the distance, walked over.
"Hey, Young Master Huan, congratulations, congratulations!"
This guy smiled from afar, stretched out his hands, grabbed Yang Huan's hand, and kept congratulating.
"Southampton won the Champions League, this is a glory for our city, even the queen and the prime minister and others have personally called the city government and the team, and they must be sure that Southampton will win glory for English football in the Champions League!"
This guy is so shameless and skinless, as if Southampton won the Champions League and had a contribution to it.
But Yang Huan knew in his heart, isn't this the case with this politician?
Just get used to it!
"Eh, I said, Terry, I heard the Municipal Highway is blocked, right?" Yang Huan asked curiously.
Terry Matthews smiled and nodded, "Isn't it?" People around the city, all who can come, some are Southampton hardcores, and some are purely here to join in the fun, but there are too many people, and the road is directly blocked. ”
Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly again, "Young Master Huan, we have dispatched all the police, even temporary workers, and we should be able to control the situation soon." ”
What else can Yang Huan say?
However, he really didn't expect that the citizens of Southampton and the fans in the surrounding area would be too surprising.
When Southampton won the Premier League before, although it was quite a big trouble, it was never like this.
You know, the new municipal highway is a two-way eight-lane road, and even this road is blocked, so how many people do you have to have?
However, looking outside, Glory Square was already overcrowded.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the municipal avenue is blocked.
"By the way, Ron, how's the preparation going in the studio?" Yang Huan asked again.
Although Southampton's anthem was passed down by word of mouth from fans, there was never an official version, not even a decent officially acknowledged version, and it was more of a spontaneous nature of the fans.
So, sometimes it can look messy.
Yang Huan decided to change this situation of fighting separately, so he decided to launch an official version.
Directed by Miracle Media's gold medal arranger Josh, with the royal team of Lin Yuna and Uncle Bird invited to produce it, and then recorded by the players, Southampton will launch a new version of the Saints team song.
Because Lin Yuna and Uncle Bird had a recording studio in Southampton before, they only needed to prepare a little.
The players are also in a hurry to participate in the national team's training camp to prepare for the upcoming World Cup in Brazil, so the time is scheduled for the afternoon, when all fans who follow Southampton can watch the live broadcast through the app, WeChat and official website to witness the whole process of recording the team song.
This will also be the first appearance of the official version of the team song, which is very much expected by the outside world!
After all, it was made by Uncle Bird and Lin Yun'er's royal team, and the quality was absolutely excellent.
"Young Master Huan, you're almost ready, it's time for the players!"
Yang Huan snorted and let go of a concern.
At this time, the members of the Saints Fan Club came over from the undersea hotel.
Yang Huan went over to receive him, and naturally he inevitably had another greeting and politeness.
Then came a group of guests, and the club's celebrities also came to Glory Square one after another, plus more and more reporters and media, making the whole Glory Square lively.
At the moment when the team bus arrived at Glory Square belatedly, the atmosphere of the scene was instantly brought to the peak.
If it weren't for the police surrounding the bus and isolating this group of crazy fans, I am afraid that the two championship trophies placed in the front row of the bus would have been dragged down by the fans.
was so frightened that Yang Huan hurriedly reminded the fans through the stadium broadcast that don't mess around.
He doesn't want the team to finally get a Champions League trophy, but it turns out to be like Real Madrid, breaking the championship trophy, what to put in the team's honor showroom?
Is it possible to put that tattered championship trophy in it?
Isn't that going to be laughed out of?
After a reminder from the stadium broadcast, the fans are also more self-disciplined, and the order on the scene has gradually stabilized.
The uncovered bus stopped in front of the main entrance of the stadium.
Yang Huan led Executive Chairman Nicolas Cortez, CEO Peter Kenyon, and Chief Operating Officer Ron Gulley down the steps to greet Head Coach Bielsa and the players on board.
The two trophies were held by Manuel Neuer and Ibrahimovic respectively, and the two players are also representatives of the team.
After a round of formalities, the championship trophy was placed in a conspicuous place in front of the main gate of the stadium, allowing all reporters and fans to watch and take pictures from a distance, and Yang Huan walked on the main podium on behalf of the team.
The opening session was of course a compliment to the coaching staff, the players, the club staff, thanking them for their contributions, and then introducing some of the celebrations that will be held after the team wins the championship.
For example, in the coming years, fans will be able to freely enter and exit the Glory Stadium and enjoy the team's Hall of Honor.
Don't look at Southampton's glorious history in the past, but in the past few years, the team has won a lot of trophies.
Of course, compared with those old giants, it is still much inferior.
But at least, it's not chilling, is it?
"I would like to take this opportunity to solemnly announce some decisions on behalf of Southampton!"
Yang Huan said solemnly.
