When Yang Huan arrived at Staplewood, he saw people everywhere outside the training base gate.
It was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it look like it was a festival.
When the crowd saw the Lagonda Conqueror, they immediately separated a lane to let Yang Huan pass.
Some people even started shouting "Master Huan", obviously recognizing Yang Huan.
"There are too many people," Long Wu said with a smile as he drove in front.
"Let me get off at the gate," Yang Huan said.
Although there are many people, they are all well-behaved.
When security guard Peter opened the gate and let Yang Huan's car in, the fans outside were all well-behaved and no one wanted to rush in.
It can be seen that in their eyes, Staplewood is the core of the team, a sacred place that cannot be offended.
Yang Huan got out of the car, and there was a burst of cheers from outside.
Saint Peter was in an extremely good mood, and his face was as red as bloodshot.
"Master Huan, there were many of them, and they came before dawn.
I was so scared that I thought something had happened."
Although he was complaining a little, Peter was smiling so much that he couldn't be happier.
After all these years, when has Southampton ever been as beautiful as it is now?
Champion of the Europa League This is something that all Southampton fans could not even dream of before.
In the past, the most they dreamed about was that Southampton would return to the Premier League or even avoid relegation in the Premier League.
But now, they have returned to the Premier League, won two domestic cup championships, and also won a Europa League championship.
This is Southampton's first European championship in more than 100 years of history.
How can they not be excited?
"How many people are there?"
Yang Huan laughed and asked.
Standing inside the gate and outside the door of the security room, looking out, I just feel that there are people everywhere.
"I'm afraid there are thousands of people coming here, and I received news that the whole city is celebrating today.
All the shops, schools, etc. are on holiday.
I'm afraid they will go crazy," Peter said excitedly.
"Really?"
Yang Huan was a little surprised.
Even schools and shops were on holiday.
Isn't this too outrageous?
Southampton has about 200,000 people, of which 40,000 to 50,000 are students, and a large part of the students are international students from all over the world.
Therefore, in the past, the Saints have always attached great importance to developing fans among the student base.
For example, students can enjoy discounts when purchasing game tickets and season tickets.
Not many teams give students discounts for purchasing tickets.
Rich teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea do not have this benefit.
But Southampton gave it, and the discount was not small.
The reason is also very simple.
After finishing their studies, these students may not stay in the UK, but will return to their home countries.
At that time, they will take their feelings for the saints back with them.
This will be of huge benefit to Southampton's future development.
And it’s not just students from Southampton who come to St.
Mary’s Stadium to watch football, there are even many students from London, Oxford, Cambridge, and even Manchester who come to Southampton specifically to watch football.
The Saints are also very kind to these students, unlike other teams that give student tickets to some garbage positions.
On the contrary, Saints specifically places students in a relatively well-located area.
Also because of all the details the club has done, Southampton has a pretty good reputation among the students.

The club has also launched a series of considerate services for other fan groups.
Although the team has increased more operating costs as a result, it has brought a better experience to fans and greatly improved the team's image.
Peter didn't know that his words made Master Huan make so many associations, and he seemed to be still immersed in the excitement and joy of the celebration.
"Master Huan, I heard from Harry last night that their Saint Harry, as well as several other official fan clubs, plan to hold various celebrations starting today and in the next few days.
By then, this city will definitely be extremely lively.”
Yang Huan couldn't help but nod, "Then tell Harry, if you need any help, just ask the club."
"Understood" Peter nodded and agreed with a smile.
Yang Huan patted Peter on the shoulder again, said a few words of encouragement, turned around and left the training building.
In the parking lot of the training building, there is an open-top double-decker luxury bus parked, which the team specially rented.
The outside of the bus has long been dyed with Southampton's colors and team emblem, as well as four championship trophies.
This represents what Southampton have gained over the past season.
When Yang Huan passed the bus, he saw several boys from the youth team talking around the bus.
Listening to their tone, it seemed that they were unspeakably envious and wished they could board the bus and go to the parade with the first-team players.
Yang Huan recognized many people among them.
For example, England's local rookies Luke Shaw, Chambers, Prowse, Patrick Roberts and so on.
There are also young players from the youth training that Southampton brought in from outside, such as Januzaj, Kovacic and so on.
Everyone on the team, whether it is Bielsa or Griffa and Madoni who are in charge of youth training, are full of praise for the level of these young players and believe that they will definitely be able to support Southampton's success in the next few years.
Big flag.
Moreover, they also performed quite eye-catching in a youth team event invested and planned by Yang Huan this season.
These people are Southampton's hope for the future.
"Master Huan" "Hello, Master Huan" "Master Huan, good morning" As soon as these young generals saw Yang Huan approaching, they immediately greeted each other with smiles.
In fact, Yang Huan was not much older than them, but at this time, he had to pretend to be mature and wave and smile at them.
"Don't be envious, work hard to improve your strength, and you will definitely be able to get on this bus before long."
All of these young generals burst out laughing, but they kept nodding.
"only" Yang Huan paused deliberately to calm everyone down.
"At that time, what we want to celebrate is not the English Championship or the Europa League.
What we want to celebrate is the Premier League and the European Champions Cup.
I hope you can combine the Premier League championship trophy with the Champions League St.
Petersburg Cup. , all hung on the team bus.”
All these boys were suddenly excited.
Premier League It used to be so far away, but now, it's so close to them.
Next season, the team will be in the Premier League As for the Champions League, it is a stage that only dreamers can dream of.
But seeing Southampton’s unstoppable performance in the Europa League this season, who dares to say that the Champions League is far away?
Upon hearing this exciting encouragement from Master Huan, each of these young generals seemed to be greatly inspired.
When Yang Huan walked up to the second floor, they all shouted to go back to training.
That look made Yang Huan smile.
Walk along the second-floor corridor and pass Bielsa's head coach's office.
The door to the Argentinian lunatic's office was open, but the people in the office had their backs to the door and stared blankly at the wall.
There are some sticky notes scattered on the wall, with the names of two football greats on the top.
"These are the names of two of the greatest managers in Argentina's history."
Although Bielsa didn't look back, he seemed to see Yang Huan standing at the door.
Yang Huan didn't think this lunatic was pretending, because he was such a nonsensical person.
Always thinking suddenly and inexplicably.
And there are many things that a normal person would not worry about, but they can make him think about them for days.
This is a serious guy who will fight to the death.

"Menotti" Bielsa pointed to the one on the left first, then pointed to the right, "Bilardo" Yang Huan has heard of the names of these two people.
They are both great coaches who led Argentina to win the World Cup.
But he was curious, could there be something irritating this Argentine madman?
Otherwise, why would Bielsa be staring at the wall in a daze for no reason?
"The two of them represent two different styles of football."
Bielsa still didn't look back, looking at the wall, a bit like mumbling to himself.
I believe that even if the person standing next to him at this time was not Yang Huan, but someone else, he would still say this.
Sometimes, people have to find someone to talk to.
Keeping everything in your heart is actually a very painful thing.
"Menotti is a typical aestheticist, while Bilardo is a typical pragmatist.
They represent the two extremes of Argentine football."
When he said this, Bielsa suddenly turned back and smiled at Yang Huan.
"You know I spent sixteen years on both of them, eight years with Menotti and another eight years with Bilardo before I started coaching Newell's Old Boys."
If it was just a smile, Yang Huan wouldn't think there was anything wrong.
But this smile and this sentence made him feel creepy.
Sixteen years, darling It is crazy and unbelievable that a person spends sixteen years preparing to become a head coach.
Moreover, it is said that Bielsa's family background is quite good and he belongs to the upper class in Argentina.
His brother was once the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Argentina, and his sister was also the mayor of a big city in Argentina.
Such a person spent sixteen years just to become a head coach Yang Huan has heard people say before that Bielsa is an Argentine madman.
But it wasn't until this moment that he truly felt why he was a madman If this kind of person is not a lunatic, then who is the lunatic?
"What Menotti values most is those ethereal inspirations.
He believes that football is unpredictable, but I don't agree."
“Because I believe that no one can keep that inspiration forever, because it is always fleeting.
The next time, I don’t know when it will come, how can that team or a player?
Do you depend on this kind of thing?”
Although Yang Huan didn't quite understand the core of football tactics, he felt that this was indeed the case.
What is the most important aspect of modern football tactics?
Stablize Long-term, stable and high-level performance The team is like this, and so are the stars.
Without stability, you can't talk about success.
"Bilardo is just the opposite.
He likes to study opponents through a lot of video tapes.
He thinks football is predictable, so he is a routineist.
Some people say it is dogmatic, but I am different from him."
At this point, the Argentinian looked back and smiled, with a hint of wisdom.
"He studies routines and opponents for defense, but I am different, I study for offense."
At the end, he smiled a little self-deprecatingly, but also seemed a little complacent.
"On this point, Menotti and I are the same.
Everything we do is for offense."
Yang Huan suddenly had the feeling that Bielsa had been pursuing his own football philosophy throughout his coaching career and transforming it into reality.
He is not Menotti or Bilardo, he is Bielsa A unique Bielsa Maybe every head coach is like this They may have been influenced by countless predecessors, and they are constantly learning the strengths and advantages of others.
But deep down, they are still pursuing their own way of football.
That is a football philosophy that cannot be described in simple words, nor can it be explained clearly.
It cannot be simply reduced to offense and defense:
