Football giants

Chapter 17 Calm Down

Tyrant of China!

This was the headline on the front page of The Sun on the second day. No photo of Yang Huan was published, but a photo of Alan Pardue when he was angry.

The subtitle is one sentence, "English football is rubbish!"

The Sun was obviously well prepared for this, and used a special page on the second and third pages to introduce Alan Pardew's complaint against Southampton, and published the process described by Alan Pardew in an overnight interview.

Alan Pardue said that when he was directing the team's training, Yang Huan suddenly appeared on the training ground with a group of people, not to mention affecting the team's normal training plan, and even dictating his plan, asking the coaching staff to change the training content according to his requirements, but Alan Pardue refused.

"I absolutely cannot tolerate a layman who knows nothing but money, blatantly overriding the head coach. That is absolutely unacceptable to any dignified professional head coach, and it is a disgrace to professional football!"

As for the conflict itself, Alan Pardew described the club's new boss as an arrogant, ignorant and cruel guy, saying that the reason he had a conflict with Yang Huan was that Yang Huan despised English football and criticized English football as rubbish.

Here, the Sun also interviewed Alan Pardew's assistant and several players who chose to leave the team with Alan Pardew. They also confirmed Alan Pardew's remarks and believed that the club's new owner did not understand football at all.

"The feeling he gives me is that he thinks that he can buy everything with the money in his hands. He doesn't know what respect is at all, and he doesn't know what the rules of professional football are. But Mr. Alan Pardew fought back bravely!"

In order to increase credibility, Alan Pardue also mentioned Nicola Cortez, believing that at the scene, Nicola Cortez supported Alan Pardew, and hoped to dissuade the new boss from dismissing the team coach at a critical moment before the season. However, Nicola Cortez was angrily reprimanded by Yang Huan, and his power was also emptied.

Alan Pardew said that he will not compromise, and has filed a complaint with the England Coaches Union, asking the coaches to seek justice for him, and in order to prove his character, he will not accept the contract liquidated damages from Southampton.

"I will not accept even a penny from this Chinese!"

As soon as this report in The Sun was published, it immediately set off a huge storm throughout the UK.

Ever since Yang Huan brought Zhang Ning to the Oulos Mall and became a hit, almost every day there were news reports about Yang Huan, especially after he gave up the Premier League team and chose Southampton, which attracted the attention of the media.

But no one thought that after acquiring Southampton just now, the head coach of the team, Alan Pardew, who is also a well-known young coach in English football, would be fired. This immediately attracted the attention of the entire English football world.

But what really made this incident a topic of national concern in the UK and even in Europe was that, according to Alan Pardew, Yang Huan was described as a dictatorial tyrant who humiliated English football.

This made it unacceptable for the English who had just returned from the World Cup. So in less than a day, countless netizens launched a campaign on the Internet. More and more netizens logged on to Southampton's official website and left messages asking Yang Huan to leave. This even caused the server of Southampton's official website to crash.

British netizens, who could not find a channel to vent their anger, shifted their targets to the media and the FA, demanding that the media should play a role at this time, put pressure on Southampton, and help Alan Pardew seek justice.

At the same time, the fans also demand that the FA must impose the most severe punishment on Southampton's behavior of disrespecting the head coach, especially the upstart behavior of the Chinese boss.

Many well-known British columnists also keenly seized the opportunity to participate in this turmoil.

"I never think that these international capitals who don't understand football at all, and may even have no interest in football, enter the UK and invest in English football. It has the slightest help in the development of our football level. On the contrary, I think they are poisoning our football market while they are desecrating our football."

"Think about the fact that in the past few years, with the influx of international capital, the cost of fans watching football has become higher and higher. More and more devout fans are farther and farther away from the stadium. Many of them can't even go to the bar to watch football. Isn't it because of this kind of international capital that just wants to make some money and leave?"

"I think we should conduct a deeper introspection. We don't need these dirty money. We need a pure football environment. Let's say NO to international capital together!!"

When the entire British media and the Internet seemed to be celebrating a festival, and the whole of the UK was raging, Nicola Cortes couldn't sit still in his office at St. Mary's Stadium in Southampton.

"We have to respond as soon as possible, what do you think, Sun?" Nicola Cortez looked at the calm Sun Yue in front of him.

He wondered, does this guy care nothing about Southampton?
Otherwise, how could he be so calm in the face of this situation?As if nothing happened?
Sun Yue was sitting on the office chair, his right hand was shaving the nails of his left hand, without raising his head, "Calm down, Nicholas, it's okay."

"What's wrong? The servers of our official website have crashed!"

"This can only prove that the server of our official website is too bad, and we should change another set of equipment." Sun Yue moved his left hand to his mouth, exhaled, and blew off the shaved fingernail skin.

"Also, I've seen our official website, it's too bad, it's not interactive at all, what age is it, we need to quickly find some people to re-create the official website, and then create a mobile app, so that those who leave messages to scold us will be more convenient, and they can scold us with just a few buttons on the mobile phone, how cool it is!"

Nicola Cortes slapped his forehead hard, "My God, Sun, don't you understand the seriousness of the matter? Even the England Coaches Union sent a fax, asking us to go to London within a week to clarify this matter as soon as possible."

"Isn't it a week? Don't be nervous!" Sun Yue was still very calm.

At this time, there were several knocks on the office door, and a British blonde front desk girl came over, "Director, the Times is calling, hoping to conduct an exclusive interview with our boss."

"In addition, the Guardian, Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, Southampton's local Southern Echo, BBC Southern TV, etc. all hope to conduct an interview with us to understand the whole process of the matter."

When Sun Yue heard this, he stopped his hands, raised his head, and thought about it seriously.

Nicola Cortez said quickly from the side: "Sun, this is an opportunity, we should stand up and clarify."

But Sun Yue lowered his head again, "Forget it, it's useless to clarify now, reply to these newspapers and TV stations, just say, in two days."

"Two days?" Nicola Cortez was about to crash just like the server of the official website.

Most of the British are still living in the afterglow of the never-ending empire in the past. What they hate the most is being looked down upon by others. That's why Alan Pardue dared to say this, just to incite public opinion. If they continue to let things go, who can guarantee that nothing will happen?

"Oh, that's right!" Sun Yue stopped the girl at the front desk, "Go to the Chinese Small Commodities Wholesale Market at the wharf and buy some exquisite and practical small gifts. The value of a single piece is around [-] pounds. If you want something that can be put in your pocket, buy [-] pieces."

"Understood, I'll go right away."

Nicola Cortes waited until the door was closed again, then shook his head and said, "I don't quite understand, Sun."

"You will understand in two days!" Sun Yue said with a smile.

"In the past two days, you can enjoy this feeling of being besieged and concerned by the media and everyone. It's very fulfilling!"

When the entire UK and Europe were hyping about the incident between Southampton and Alan Pardew, Yang Huan, Zhang Ning and Long Wu, accompanied by Kesh Harris, appeared in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The person who picked him up was Fernando Hidalgo, a famous Argentine agent.

According to Kesh Harris’ introduction on the road, Hidalgo was originally the assistant of the Argentine football giant Muscati. The latter is a well-known vampire in the world football.

Argentine striker Diego Milito who just helped Inter Milan win the Triple Crown is his player.

However, in the past few years, Hidalgo's business in Europe has been shrinking, so the arrival of Yang Huan and others is very welcome.

Hidalgo warmly received the four of them, Yang Huan, and they left the airport non-stop after the meeting, and checked into the hotel booked by Hidalgo, where someone was already waiting for him.

Carlos Porter, the chairman of the Banfield club who just won the first spring league championship trophy in the club's history, has been waiting anxiously in the hotel for this, as Hidalgo said, a rich man from China.

"Hello, Mr. Potter!"

As soon as Yang Huan saw Carlos Potter, he stretched out his hand, and the latter also shook hands with Yang Huan quickly.

It was Hidalgo who facilitated this meeting, so after introducing the two to each other, he was in charge of the beginning.

"Carlos, Mr. Yang Huan has just completed the acquisition of England's traditional strong team Southampton. He wants to improve the strength of the team in a short period of time. Just like the reason why you are sitting here, I believe that there is no need for everyone to say anything."

Hidalgo has explored the way before. Although James Rodriguez is an important member of the team, Banfield is willing to sell. At present, there are two buyers, one is Porto, and the other is Southampton in front of him.

After hearing that Southampton was also interested in James Rodriguez, Carlos Porter postponed the progress of the negotiations with Porto because he felt that this was a rare good opportunity to start the price.

"Yes, my friend, Fernando, we don't need more politeness, I am very interested to hear Southampton's offer."

The purpose of Yang Huan's trip is not specifically for James Rodriguez. The Colombian is just a player he took along the way, but he knows the Colombian's potential better than anyone else.

In the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, James Rodriguez was one of the most dazzling stars in the World Cup.

"I don't know what price Porto offered you?"

Carlos Porter and Hidalgo looked at each other, and the latter nodded secretly, "600 million euros!"

In fact, Porto is still wrangling at the price of 500 million.

Yang Huan and Zhang Ning knew the winks from Hidalgo and Carlos Porter.

"Then I will also offer 600 million pounds, which is 700 million euros!" Yang Huan offered the price without hesitation.

Neither Carlos Porter nor Hidalgo expected that things would go so smoothly. Could it be that the Chinese didn't bargain?
"Think about it. I always use cash for my business transactions, but I only use RMB. You promise, we will go through the formalities, and the money will be deposited into your account. However, you have to provide someone to help us apply for a labor certificate for James Rodriguez."

James Rodriguez has not participated in the national team competition yet, nor does he have a second EU nationality, so he can only apply for the special talent clause, which requires an authoritative certificate.

Carlos Porter winked at Hidalgo again, and the latter saw clearly that Yang Huan was a one-off price and would not make a second offer, so he signaled him to agree quickly.

After passing this village, there may not be this store.

"Okay, deal!" Carlos Porter didn't say much, 700 million euros is considered a very good price.

After hearing this, Yang Huan stood up, "I'm sorry, Mr. Potter, I have something very important to do. When you come to England some other day, I will treat you well. I also hope that we will have the opportunity to cooperate again!"

He has a list of Banfield in his hand, but he doesn't like anyone except James Rodriguez.

"Definitely, definitely!" Carlos Porter politely shook hands with the big benefactor.

Yang Huan took Zhang Ning out of the living room, accompanied by Hidalgo, took the elevator upstairs.

The target of his trip was waiting for him in the guest room upstairs.
