Football giants

Chapter 144 The nose is crooked
"Now broadcast a football entertainment news."

The TV anchor of the BBC TV news channel looks very calm and generous on the screen.

"All the fans know that Roman Abramovich, the owner of Chelsea, has always given people the impression of being rich and powerful. During the winter break transfer this season, he waved the oil ruble in his hand and scored the two generals Torres and David Luiz for the Blues. It cost 500 million pounds."

"Since the Russian came to the UK, he has been using money to walk. Although it has been accompanied by controversy, it has always been beneficial. However, almost none of the players and coaches he likes can resist the temptation of the oil ruble, and he has won all the assets he likes."

"But today, the Russian predator encountered the most humiliating scene after landing in the UK."

A yacht appeared on the TV screen, which was Abramovich's Eclipse.

"In order to be able to oversee the focus of the FA Cup at Southampton's St. Mary's Stadium tonight, Abramovich left London yesterday on his luxury yacht Eclipse and circled the entire southeast coast of England."

The screen cuts to a map showing Abramovich's entire route.

Go out to sea from London along the Thames River, go south from the English Channel, and then turn west.

It can be described as a lot of trouble.

"The Russians probably never thought that when he was about to arrive in Southampton, the entire yacht club in Southampton would refuse to receive him, the most luxurious super yacht in the world, on the grounds that he would never receive the enemy before the war!"

"Relevant sources revealed that Abramovich offered a price ten times higher than normal, but he still failed to convince the yacht club in Southampton, making his Eclipse unable to park in Southampton. In the end, he had to choose to park in Portsmouth, Southampton's sworn enemy city in the east, and then take a car from Portsmouth to Southampton."

The news screen switched to the live broadcast room, and the TV anchor showed a smile.

"We don't understand the world of the rich, nor do we understand the logic of the rich."

"Perhaps in the eyes of the Russians, he just thinks that it is too commonplace to go directly from London to Southampton by car."

"Even if he wants to take a car, he would rather take a yacht first, go around half of England, go to Portsmouth, which is about the same distance, and then take a car from Portsmouth to Southampton. This is called the life of a rich man."

As soon as the BBC TV news was published, it immediately had a great response among the fans.

There is even more one-sided ridicule on the Internet, thinking that Abramovich wanted to pretend to be thirteen, but was accidentally struck by lightning.

In Southampton, it was discussed almost everywhere, and everyone was hooked.

Near St. Mary's Stadium, Saints fans even posted a large stand advertisement.

In the ad, the Eclipse, dyed blue, crashed into an iceberg striped with red and white arrows, and the entire bow of the ship collapsed.

This ad foretells that the blue Chelsea will encounter Waterloo in front of the red and white Southampton.

Walking into St. Mary's Stadium, Southampton fans pulled out banners in the stands and hung them in front of the guardrail of the stands.

Some are sarcastic, such as:
"Abu, are you mad?"

"No, I'm not mad, it's just that my nose is crooked!"

There are also those who shout inflammatory slogans, such as:
"Tonight, the city is united!"

"Chelsea, you are not facing eleven people, but the whole of Southampton!"

"We're going to employ people, form a wall, and crush Chelsea!"

There are even some foul language, such as...

Thirteen thousand and six hundred characters are omitted here.

The game has not yet started, but the entire St. Mary's Stadium is already buzzing with people, and the atmosphere is very enthusiastic.

More than 3 Saints fans gathered at St. Mary's Stadium, supporting and supporting the team in different ways.

At the same time, it is very rare that Southampton's political, business and celebrities from all walks of life also came to St. Mary's Stadium to support the team.

This also further intensified the attention of this game.

It can be said that it is hot before the battle.

"Did you see just now that even the mayor, Ms. Carol Connell, is here?"

In the locker room of the home team at St. Mary's Stadium, the captain of the team, Adam Lallana, sat on his seat, bent down, tied his shoelaces, and said in a very excited tone.

"Really? Where? Why didn't I see it?"

"On the chairman's stand, sitting with Master Huan, next to the city councilor and Chief Sheriff Terry Matthews."

Adam Lallana has been in Southampton for many years. Although he was not born in Southampton, this place has become his second hometown, and he is very fond of everything here.

"They should be celebrating." Lavelle Morrison laughed wryly.

There was a burst of cheerful laughter in the locker room.

"I heard that it was Master Huan's idea to prevent Abramovich's yacht from entering Southampton." Neymar expressed admiration.

He is about the same age as Yang Huan, but when it comes to doing things, he is really far behind.

"I've also heard that it's Master Huan, that's right. He's the only one who has the ability to make the yacht clubs in Southampton unanimous."

"It's right that Abramovich hit a wall, who made him want to pretend to be aggressive in front of Master Huan?"

"That's right, Master Huan often said, don't pretend to be coercive, you will be struck by lightning!"

There was another burst of laughter in the locker room.

Luis Borini was always in the locker room. The coaching staff's locker room was next to the player's locker room, but he kept an eye on the players' movement, and then came over after checking that the time was almost up.

"Okay, everyone!"

Following Luis Borini's clapping, the players immediately turned their attention and all looked at him.

Bielsa has always been in charge of tactics, pre-match mobilization and the like, and Luis Borini is in charge.

"All of you are right. Master Huan has made a good start for us, allowing us to overwhelm Chelsea in momentum. This is something worth celebrating, but it's not the time to be happy yet."

Luis Borini's words were nodded and agreed by all the players present.

"Chelsea must be holding their breath now. I heard that Abramovich has already spoken. This game will win our Southampton no matter what. It is said that he even shouted that if Southampton cannot be won, Ancelotti will be dismissed."

The players in the locker room all looked solemn.

This time things became more serious.

"Yes, this battle is already on the line, and there is no room for loss. If we lose, it will not only be us, but also Young Master Huan, the citizens of Southampton, and all the fans who support us. They will all become laughing stocks."

"They will laugh at us. They have made so many out-of-the-box tricks, tossed so many heresy ways, and they still lost!"

After Luis Borini finished speaking, there was a chilling atmosphere in the locker room.

No one wants to be ridiculed by others, especially the opponent who is being ridiculed by oneself now.

"So, in this battle, if we fail, we will be benevolent!"

As soon as Luis Borini finished speaking, Ibramovich's burly and majestic body suddenly stood up.

"Okay, kill Chelsea!"

"Damn Chelsea!"

"Fight them!"

"We must win, we must win!!"

…………

…………

Yang Huan didn't know what was going on in the locker room, he sat in his exclusive position in the chairman's stand.

Sitting on the left is the current mayor of Southampton, Ms. Carol Connell, and sitting on the right is the top candidate for the next mayor of Southampton, the current sheriff Terry Matthews.

The latter has made it clear that he will run for the upcoming Southampton mayoral election.

The reason why this competition can attract so many political and business celebrities to participate is more or less related to this election. After all, the election is coming, and it is indispensable to put on a show in front of the public.

"Mr. Yang Huan, I have been paying attention to Southampton all the time. The stadium is full and the attendance rate is so high. I have never seen such popularity even when Southampton was still in the Premier League."

Terry Matthews said with a sigh.

When he came on stage just now, the TV station gave him a close-up, and he also appeared on the big screen of St. Mary's Stadium, and many fans and voters who supported him were applauding him, which made him feel good.

"Yes, Mr. Matthews." Yang Huan responded politely.

Sitting between two competitors, he was also quite depressed.

This sandwich biscuit is not so good!
"St. Mary's Stadium is still a bit small after all. If it can be bigger and more modern, I believe that the fans' watching experience will be better, and the football atmosphere in the whole city will be more enthusiastic and lively than it is now."

Yang Huan's words were immediately recognized by Mayor Carol Connell beside him.

"We also think so, so before, Mr. Yang Huan, you proposed to build a new stadium, and we are seriously evaluating it, but please rest assured that the government will definitely not obstruct this matter."

As soon as Carol Connell finished speaking, Terry Matthews laughed.

"I half agree with Ms. Connell's words!"

After successfully attracting Yang Huan's attention, he continued to smile and said, "I think Southampton's transformation is imminent. In addition to attracting more investment in high-tech industries, creating a most livable tourist port city on the south coast will be a great opportunity, and football is undoubtedly crucial."

In the UK, football is a religion and a powerful weapon to attract tourism resources.

"If I succeed in running for mayor, not only will I not obstruct it, I think the government should also provide the greatest policy, land and even financial support to match the ambitions of the Southampton club and build the Saints into a well-known and powerful team in the UK and even in Europe, and a beautiful business card for the city!"

Terry Matthews' words got Yang Huan's nod of agreement, but it also made Carol Conio look unhappy.

This competitor is aggressive, and it is clear that he is here to win votes.

Although Yang Huan is Chinese and has no right to vote, there is only one football team in the entire city of Southampton.

Yang Huan is the savior in the eyes of Saints fans.

Moreover, the WeChat company he founded has also been cultivated by Southampton in recent years. It is almost the only Internet company that is well-known all over the world, and it is also a company strongly supported by Southampton.

It is too much to say that he can decide the outcome of the election, but it is hard to say how much help he can provide.

At the very least, they can contribute some money to their elections.

"Mr. Yang Huan, you absolutely don't have to doubt my promise. I'm not that kind of professional politician, and I won't promise some empty promises. Please believe in my sincerity!"

Yang Huan nodded and hummed.

He is a businessman who believes in both ways, so of course he will not support which faction openly.

Just at this time, in the aisle in the distance, Kesh Harris, the fat man who came from London to watch the game, came over.

Beside him is a middle-aged European man who is about 1.7 meters tall and looks shrewd.

The two came straight to where Yang Huan was, obviously looking for him.
