Football giants

Chapter 111 The Seriously Underrated Team
"******,******,******!!!!"

Angrily walking back to his seat, Greg looked viciously at the grandstand opposite in the distance.

Yang Huan was enthusiastically pulling Don Blaustein to introduce some of his ideas and ideas.

Just now, Don Blaustein expressed his willingness to sponsor Southampton's stadium advertisement in the FA Cup.

Starting from the third round, the FA Cup matches will basically be broadcast live by TV stations, either the BBC or local stations.

Once there is a live broadcast, the advertisement of the stadium becomes valuable.

Seeing the two people on the opposite side chat happily, Greg was so angry that he had the urge to explode his lungs.

"********, isn't he just a starlet who hasn't been popular for a few months? It's all set up like this? More than 1000 million pounds? Fuck you, I'll be a joke?" Greg cursed angrily.

He had forgotten that just now he was willing to pay so much money, but the bid was not as high as the other party's.

The more I think about it, the more annoyed I feel, isn't he a star?

If you, a Chinese, can make it, why can't I make it?

After thinking about it, Greg immediately took out his mobile phone and called his colleagues in the United States.

"I want to shoot a commercial, you go and hire me the best male singer in the United States, I want him to create a commercial song for Budweiser, at all costs, the most important thing is to be popular!"

After hanging up the phone, Greg stared at the rostrum opposite him indignantly.

"Didn't you just hold out an Uncle Bird?"

"I'm going to praise a singer who is better and more influential than Uncle Psy."

"Let's wait and see!"

After finishing speaking, he simply didn't even watch the game, turned around and left.

This focus battle, which attracted the attention of 24 teams in League One, ended with Southampton beating Huddersfield 4:1. Huddersfield finally failed to fulfill the wish of all League One teams and sniped Southampton.

In the past 21 rounds of League One, Southampton has won [-] wins, drawn [-] and lost [-]. Especially after experiencing the trough of the first three rounds, Southampton followed closely and won [-] consecutive victories in one breath.

This is not only a record in League One, but also the entire English football world is amazed by this South Coast revival team.

Leading the opponent by [-] points, even if the league is not halfway through, this has already made countless opponents feel desperate.

At the very least, it is as difficult as ever to win the championship from Southampton.

After the victory over Huddersfield, Yang Huan went to the dressing room in person and expressed his appreciation for the outstanding performance of the players without hesitation.

Yang Huan also encouraged players not to be satisfied with League One, but to take a longer-term view and amplify their ambitions.

"I like ambitious players. Because of ambition, you will be motivated, and will not be satisfied with the status quo, and will continue to make progress. Therefore, I hope you can be more ambitious."

"League One is nothing, and the English League Championship is nothing. We should set our sights on the FA Cup and strive to prove our strength in this cup and that vote of Premier League teams!"

Yang Huan's remarks were not only recognized by the players and the coaching staff, but also by the Southampton fans.

Since the relegation of the Premier League, Southampton has been in a slump all the way and has been in a slump. In the past two years, it has even encountered a financial crisis.

But after Yang Huan took over the team, he not only brought the world's top stars to Southampton, but also pulled Southampton out of the quagmire of debt in one fell swoop, and created a Southampton team with super combat effectiveness.

Such a team should not be in the League One, but should be in the Premier League!

The outside media also gave a very high evaluation of Southampton's recent performance.

The head office of the Southern Echo published a commentary from Southampton's Charlene Lahiri on an important page of the Echo, believing that Southampton's strength is fully capable of competing with the Premier League teams.

When she participated in the recording of the BBC's daily game program, she also said very firmly, "The team with the most hope of becoming a dark horse in the FA Cup is undoubtedly Southampton!"

…………

…………

clap clap clap!
The recording had just ended, accompanied by a round of applause, director Roger Moses, accompanied by Barbara Slater, walked into the program recording site of the daily game, he looked at Charlene Lahiri with a smile, and appreciated her performance in front of the camera more and more.

If she was still a little nervous when she first participated in the recording of the daily game, now she has undoubtedly adapted to this change in style, and even her speech and judgment are becoming more and more bold and sharp.

This is a very good phenomenon, because the last thing the audience in front of the TV likes is trying to guess the answer to the question. They like you to tell them the answer directly.

"Charlene, that paragraph just now was so beautiful!" Roger Moses was very happy with his masterpiece.

After watching only one episode of the daily match, he concluded that Charlene Lahiri should not be a reporter, but a host.

This woman has an excellent image and temperament, so she should be shown in front of the camera.

Sure enough, Charlene Lahiri became popular overnight, and her popularity has been rising steadily since then. Now she has become a must-have popular guest in daily games, and has been enthusiastically praised by countless fans. BBC TV is also considering creating a football program for her.

"You're welcome, Mr. Moses!" Charlene Lahiri smiled faintly.

Roger Moses is also used to her indifference. "I heard that you have a close relationship with Southampton. What do you think of the current strength of this team?"

Charlene Lahiri replied almost without hesitation, "There is no opponent in League One."

"Where is the British Championship?" Roger Moses was not surprised.

"There is no opponent!"

This surprised Barbara Slater, "They are just a League One team."

"It's a League One team with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Neymar, Vidal and Neuer, Barbara!" Charlene Lahiri reminded that these four players are currently Southampton's biggest stars.

But in Charlene Lahiri's view, Southampton's powerful stars are not the only ones.

Lambert is a qualified and very capable substitute. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has missed several times, and he has taken on the responsibility of attacking the city very well. Adam Lallana and Chamberlain are one of the biggest discoveries of Southampton this season.

Needless to say, James Rodriguez, after a run-in at the beginning of the season, his performance is getting better and better.

In terms of midfield, Isco is gradually taking on the big role, Strowman has already taken the lead, Pogba and Ravel Morrison have also shown impressive progress, plus Schneiderlin.

Southampton's set of midfielders may not be famous enough, but in terms of combat effectiveness, even in the Premier League, they will not be inferior.

The three teenagers in the defense are indeed young, but they are also very strong. Whether it is David Alaba on the left, Carvajal on the right, or Varane in the center, they all performed very steadily. Under the command of Benatia and Neuer, Southampton's defense line is solid.

Although these players are all overshadowed by the starlight of the superstars, their own superior strength is beyond doubt.

This is a seriously underrated team!

"What if it's the Premier League?" Roger Moses asked again with a smile.

Charlene Lahiri thought for a while, "It depends. If it's a downstream team, I think Southampton has a great chance of winning. If it's a midstream team, Southampton has a certain chance of winning. But if it's the top upstream teams, I don't know."

Strength, or in other words, the combat effectiveness of a team on the field, this is something no one can predict before the game.

Even the head coach of the team has no way to guarantee what level his team can play.

"I don't know?" Roger Moses laughed, "It's fun and interesting not to know."

After a pause, the director of the BBC thought of another question, "I heard that Southampton has deep grievances with Manchester United and Arsenal, isn't it?"

Charlene Lahiri smiled slightly, "Both sides hate each other to the bone."

Manchester United hated Southampton, mainly complaining that Southampton forcibly poached Pogba and Ravel Morrison, but these two teenagers performed very well in Southampton, and Ferguson was even more annoyed.

As for Southampton hating Manchester United and Arsenal, it is mainly because of the bonus incident.

As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents.

Manchester United and Arsenal are so unkind, it's no wonder the Southampton players don't hate them.

As for Arsenal, it seems that they came out purely to play soy sauce, to gain a sense of presence, and even to pull hatred.

"The fans should be looking forward to the duel between these three teams!" Roger Moses said with a laugh, turned around and left.

Barbara Slater also nodded meaningfully at Charlene Lahiri and left.

Leaving Charlene Lahiri standing there alone, after dozens of seconds of recollection, she suddenly realized.

He took out his mobile phone, found Yang Huan's phone number, and called directly.

"Hey, our Young Master Huan is in a meeting!" It was Long Wu who answered the phone.

"Tell him that I have something very important."

Then came the sound of footsteps, and then heard Yang Huan's voice.

"What's the matter? I'm busy, so hurry up."

Charlene Lahiri was taken aback for a moment. She rarely saw Yang Huan with such a serious attitude towards work, so she couldn't understand it.

"You're in the third round of the FA Cup and then you start to meet the Premier League teams."

The Premier League teams start to participate in the FA Cup from the third round, that is, from January, which is considered the privilege of the Premier League teams.

"Well, yes, what's the matter?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.

Did you call just to say this?
"I want to remind you to pay attention to the two teams Manchester United and Arsenal. It is best to arrange more people to spy on the information. I also have some private information here."

"Can't be so unlucky? 64 teams, these two are drawn?"

From the perspective of theory and probability, it is indeed extremely unlucky to draw such a lottery.

"Anyway, trust me, you won't be wrong!" Charlene Lahiri was very serious.

After hearing this, Yang Huan smiled easily, "Okay, I understand."

Listening to his casual appearance, it seems that he doesn't take Manchester United and Arsenal seriously.

"Aren't you worried?" Charlene Lahiri couldn't understand Yang Huan's thinking logic.

A League One team, no matter how strong it is, is not afraid to meet Manchester United and Arsenal?
"Worried?" Yang Huan laughed, "We plan to be a dark horse. We don't have the strength to challenge a strong team. It's almost as good as a dead horse. We're a dark horse!"

"From the moment we decided to be a dark horse, we were ready to challenge the top giants!"

"Manchester United and Arsenal are really drawn, that's even better. Damn it, I've already suffocated my anger, and it's time to clear the stage and kill them!"

Charlene Lahiri smiled bitterly, but she could only smile bitterly.

I don't know whether to say he is too confident or arrogant.

But no matter what, she said and did what she should say and do.

"Don't worry, beauty, you bring me information, and when I finish reading it, I will send you a note!"

This sentence once again revealed Yang Huan's romantic nature.

Charlene Lahiri spat angrily and hung up the phone.

But her face turned red.

　Thank you for the monthly ticket of the book friend [Non-Shining Stone]!

　　Thanks to the book friend [Feng Xiaoxiao] for the reward. I am mainly too stupid, but I have seen what everyone said.

　　Be sure to pay attention to this problem in the future!
　　By the way, ask for a monthly pass, ha ha!
