Yang Huan really didn't take the bet with Abramovich very seriously.
Neither Matic nor Sturridge is the type that comes ready to fight.
Their arrival will at best enrich Southampton's lineup and contribute to the team's multi-line operations next season.
Manchester United, which has reached the FA Cup final, has already won the Premier League title and will enter the UEFA Champions League next season.
According to the rules, Southampton, which also reached the FA Cup final, will participate in the Europa League next season.
This is undoubtedly a very attractive opportunity for Southampton.
For the top clubs, the Europa League may be worthless, with not much prize money but a lot of games.
But for Southampton, this is a rare opportunity to show their strength and the influence of the club.
Next season's English Championship, League Cup, FA Cup, and Europa League will be fought on four fronts, and the competition tasks are very stressful.
Therefore, it is imperative for the team to further expand its lineup this summer.
Even without Matic and Sturridge, Yang Huan can definitely introduce other players to achieve his goal.
Relatively speaking, what Yang Huan is most concerned about is the FA Cup.
Southampton need a trophy After a year of hard work, players also need a championship trophy It is rare that after successively killing the Premier League giants such as Arsenal and Chelsea, he can then kill Manchester United in one go.
This will greatly enhance the morale and fighting spirit of everyone at Southampton.
Therefore, Yang Huan wanted to win this game, but it was not just for this bet.
After stepping down from the royal box, Yang Huan took the elevator directly to the locker room passage below the stands.
As soon as I walked out of the elevator and around the corner, I saw the referee team walking down the court.
Leading the way is Martin Atkinson, a card-playing madman who is well-known in English football.
This international-level referee is very strict in law enforcement, but many people jokingly call him a Chelsea fan, because the Blues basically won every Chelsea game he officiated.
True to his name, Martin Atkinson always had a serious face even when he walked off the court.
Even if he saw Yang Huan, he just glanced past without stopping at all.
On the contrary, the assistant referees following Martin Atkinson all smiled and nodded at Yang Huan and said hello.
However, these people did not stop, but went straight to the referee's lounge.
"Looks familiar, who is it?"
Yang Huan was a little confused.
But there are so many referees in England, how can he remember who is following whom?
When Yang Huan walked outside the south locker room, he didn't hear anything going on inside.
You can guess that everyone inside should be very depressed at this time.
Southampton has played so far, and there is really no way to blame anyone for conceding goals.
The characteristics of Stroman and Vidal have always been like this.
They have never been the kind of traditional midfielders who can hold their position.
To be honest, the last time the team played Chelsea, the problem of the midfielder was already exposed.
If Ferguson, the old fox, doesn't take advantage of it, then his years of wandering will be in vain.
If we really want to be held accountable, we have to go back to the beginning of the season.
After Mascherano switched to Barcelona, Yang Huan failed to introduce a high-level midfielder to the team in time that met the team's tactical needs.
This also made Yang Huan determined to introduce a high-level midfielder to fill the team's tactical weaknesses no matter what the cost this summer.
Yang Huan stood outside the door, hesitated for a while, raised his hand, and knocked gently on the door of the dressing room.
Knock knock knock In the originally silent locker room, when they heard a knock on the door, everyone immediately looked over.
Luis Borini walked over to open the door and was shocked to find the boss standing outside.
"Master Huan, why are you here?"
Yang Huan's sudden appearance made everyone in the locker room stand up.
"Master Huan" "Master Huan, okay" The players greeted Yang Huan in a chaotic manner.
"Everyone, please sit down."
Yang Huan stretched out his hand to signal the players to sit down.
Players, you looked at me and I looked at you.

They hesitated for a moment, and then at Yang Huan's urging, they all sat down.
"I have no other intention, I just came to see everyone."
Yang Huan walked to the middle of the players with a smile.
He rarely came to the locker room because he felt that this was not where he should be.
Even at Staplewood, Yang Huan paid great attention to maintaining the authority of the coaching staff, especially head coach Bielsa.
So, he looked at Bielsa and said, "Can I say a few words to them?"
Bielsa knew that Yang Huan respected him, so of course he would not say no and immediately nodded in agreement.
"I know everyone cared about me before.
Although the matter has been resolved, I still want to apologize to everyone."
After saying that, Yang Huan really bowed his head to the players and apologized.
"Master Huan" The players suddenly stood up again.
Yang Huan stretched out his hand again, motioning for them all to sit down, have a good rest, and don't move.
"I promised, I said, my responsibility is to let all the players who join Southampton play in peace and contentment.
I feel very ashamed that something like this happened this time, but I promise it will not happen again."
He didn't believe it.
After this incident, the company could be said to be in ruins.
In the future, other underground gangs will have to weigh their own weight if they want to take advantage of Southampton.
"Your job is to win games on the football field, and my job is to make sure you can play in peace."
The players listened and nodded.
This is indeed the agreement and tacit understanding between Yang Huan and the team.
But Yang Huan's words made them all clearly understand their responsibilities again.
That's playing football and winning games "I don't understand the specific, tactical things, but I want to say one more thing, don't give up, the game has just begun."
Yang Huan smiled, "Just now in the stands, Chelsea's owner Abramovich said that after conceding the goal, our odds at William Hill plummeted, and everyone was no longer optimistic about us, even Abramovich.
Ramovich said that if we win, he will let us pick any star in his team for free and pay back the salary.”
The players were in an uproar after hearing this.
Is this Abramovich a genius?
But soon, they realized one after another that he was not a captain, but looked down on Southampton.
He thought that after falling behind by one goal, it was no longer possible for Southampton to win.
This made everyone present feel annoyed and angry.
"I estimate that Ferguson must be laughing his head off now, and many media must have already thought about what to write on the front page of tomorrow's newspapers."
When Yang Huan said this, he shook his head, "But I still believe in you, don't give up, the game has just begun."
After saying that, Yang Huan nodded to Bielsa, turned around and walked out of the locker room.
During the whole process, Yang Huan didn't say much, nor did he make any passionate remarks.
But he ignited a fire in the hearts of every player in the locker room.
Do you remember those powerful words you said in an interview with the Southern Echo yesterday?
Do you still remember that Haikou was praised in an exclusive interview with BBC TV before the game?
Do you still remember the expressions of those media reporters sitting in the stands, waiting to see Southampton jokes anytime and anywhere?
Also, those Saints fans in the stands who are eager to see their team win have not given up yet, right?
Ibrahimovic sat in his seat, raised his head, looked at the door of the locker room, his eyes seemed to be breathing fire.
What he hates most is being looked down upon.
But unfortunately, some people look down on him now He was unwilling and unable to accept it, so he wanted to fight back But how many teammates have the same thoughts as him?
No matter Ibrahimovic suddenly stood up straight and looked around at his teammates.
"Damn it, we shouted nice slogans before the game, but when it came to the game, did we try our best?"
The Swedish center's question made the other ten players present ask themselves questions.
Have you really tried your best?

"I don't care.
If we can't win this game, how can we have the dignity to go back to Southampton?
We said so much before, it's all bullshit.
We did so much before, and it's all of no use."
Ibrahimovic's words made other players seem to have rekindled their hopes.
"Master Huan is right, the game is not over yet.
As long as we don't give up, there is still hope."
Captain Adam Lallana also stood up to boost the team's morale.
"That's right."
Vidal also stood up, "I am responsible for conceding the ball in the first half.
I will definitely get the ball back in the second half."
Stroman also stood up and patted Vidal on the shoulder, "I also have a responsibility, we fight side by side."
"Yes, as long as we work together, there is nothing we can't do."
"We at Southampton can defeat Arsenal and Chelsea, then we can still defeat Manchester United now."
"Well said, kill Manchester United" "Fuck them to death, fight them" Bielsa and Luis Borini listened to the passionate words of the players and were greatly encouraged in their hearts.
On a tactical level, what they can do is actually very limited.
Southampton's Achilles' heel is obvious, and so is Manchester United's weakness.
Therefore, to a certain extent, it is no longer a tactical duel.
Because everyone knows the basics and is very familiar with each other.
What is being tested now is morale and fighting spirit, who can persevere to the end.
In such a final, mental strength is more important than tactics and strength.
After a fifteen-minute break, the two teams returned to the playing field.
In the stands, Southampton fans and Manchester United fans were still fighting for dominance in the stands.
Although they were at a disadvantage on the scene, Southampton fans were not at all inferior to Manchester United in terms of momentum.
On the contrary, because the team fell behind, the fans' fighting spirit became even higher.
When Yang Huan returned to the royal box, she happened to hear Wilkinson and Prince William sitting in the back row discussing the game trend.
The opinion of England's respected coach is that Southampton is in a very bad situation, but there is still a chance.
"How long the midfield combination of Scholes and Carrick can last is a question."
Wilkinson's view is spot on.
“If we want to change, who to replace is also a question.”
"Another point is that Manchester United's counterattack is indeed very threatening, but Bielsa will definitely make targeted adjustments in the second half.
Once the counterattack is contained, how will the positional attack be played with Hernandez alone at the front?
It doesn’t work” Wilkinson's eyes are very sharp.
"Southampton's Vidal is of little use.
How to make good use of him, or simply replace him, requires Bielsa to weigh the pros and cons."
"How Manchester United adjusts in the middle of the midfield and the arrow forwards is also a problem."
Having said this, Wilkinson looked at Yang Huan, who was sitting next to Princess Kate, and nodded with a smile.
“So, the first half is just the appetizer, the real main course is in the second half” In fact, at the beginning of the second half, the two sides went toe-to-toe with Maimang, and the fight was very brutal
