Michels, who created the Dutch Total Attack concept, once said that football is a war.
And it’s a very serious, life-and-death war.
Although, it does not have beacon fire and gunpowder smoke To give an interesting example, before each game and before the start of the second half, both teams must line up in the locker room tunnel, and then the referee team on duty will lead the team into the stadium side by side.
Afterwards, there were a series of rituals with certain symbolic meanings, such as lining up to listen to the national anthem and team flags, and exchanging team flags.
Yes, this is equivalent to the declaration of war before war.
Football is called a war without gunpowder, but it is no exaggeration at all.
From the sand table deduction and troop formation before the game to the on-the-spot command during the game, the outstanding soldiers are all very close to actual combat.
This is one of the reasons why football is so fascinating.
But there is another sentence that describes war.
How do you say it?
By the way, war is a continuation of politics In other words, from ancient times to the present, war has been nothing more than a means and a process.
Same thing on the football field If a football club is compared to two countries playing against each other, then what determines the outcome of the war is definitely not what happens on the field, but the various operations below the stadium of both opponents.
The key to determining the outcome of a war is who has the more advanced weapons On the football field, the stars are the most important weapons on the battlefield Therefore, despite the fact that football club operators consider themselves gentlemen, they compare professional football to a gentleman’s war.
As everyone knows, when it comes to the competition for stars, especially top stars, anyone can see their faces clearly.
When Yang Huan approached the crowd, he immediately heard Abramovich chasing John Henry and Ian Ayre, shouting Chelsea's offer very boldly.
"We are willing to pay Suarez's release clause, £40 million."
That eager and determined look was like an old pervert who had his eye on a beautiful little girl.
Arsenal CEO Gazidis on the side was even more unruly.
"The termination fee is £40 million."
"Oh, no, no, no, of course we are not willing to use termination bonus to poach people, we are willing to offer 40 million and one pounds."
That look, that posture, seems to be saying, we already have an extra pound, and you, Liverpool, still don’t kneel down and lick it
John Henry and Ian Ayre looked at each other, and both could see the helplessness in the other's eyes.
Liverpool is really in decline Today's Red Army has long lost the glory of the traditional top four in the Premier League at the beginning of the century.
Liverpool now is more like a mid-to-upper-tier team in the Premier League, on the same level as Everton and Tottenham Hotspur.
Of course, when it comes to tradition and club culture, we can still talk about it.
But these days, professional football is all about capital.
"Sorry, Mr.
Abramovich, Mr.
Gazidis, Suarez, we don't sell" Ian Ayre still has some backbone.
Damn you, you're so bullying, is there anything wrong with you?
One directly planned to use the termination fee, and the other was even more slapped in the face, paying one pound more than the termination fee.
What does that mean?
Bullying us for having no money Yes, we in Liverpool have no money and are poor, but we will not be bullied by you.
John Henry also nodded heavily, "Yes, I won't sell it, I definitely won't sell it."
If I really want to sell it, I definitely won’t sell it to you two bastards.
After hearing this, Abramovich smiled and said, "Mr.
Henry, Mr.
Al, I'm afraid it's not up to you."
Gazidis kept nodding.
Suarez's release clause is £40 million In other words, anyone who can afford the price and convince the players can buy out the contract directly.
As for whether Liverpool wants it or not, who cares?
John Henry and Ian Elton were furious.
The intention of these two guys is to make it clear that they are poaching Liverpool.
"I must solemnly remind you that we still have a contract with Suarez, and we have a non-poaching agreement," Ian Ayre reminded solemnly.
"Yes, there is indeed such an agreement, that's why we are talking to you," Abramovich said with a smile.

After a pause, the Russian shook his head again, "It's just that you are obviously evading and unwilling to solve the problem head-on."
In the whole matter, Liverpool was indeed too passive.
Who made the Red Army not take precautions in advance?
Now, even if Chelsea and Arsenal really legitimately poach Suarez, as long as they are willing to pay 40 million pounds to buy out the contract, Liverpool can only lose their teeth and swallow blood.
Just in time, Yang Huan came over at this time and stood between John Henry and Ian Ayre.
Seeing Abramovich's face of being willful if he was rich, he immediately laughed.
"I said, Roman, if I remember correctly, Suarez wants to join a team that can participate in the Champions League."
After a pause, Yang Huan smiled jokingly, "Can Chelsea keep the top four in the league?"
Slap in the face, slap in the naked face Abramovich felt a burning sting on his cheek Damn it, although Chelsea currently occupies the fourth position in the league, they are not yet secure.
With so many rounds left in the league, who knows whether Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Everton will counterattack at any time.
Yang Huan's words were like opening up Abramovich's scars, slapping him in the face and telling him that if you want to buy Suarez, you are not qualified yet.
You can wait until you qualify for the Champions League next season.
The hatred in Abramovich's heart.
Damn it, Yang Huan, how have I offended you?
What I want to poach is Liverpool, it’s none of your business But John Henry and Ian Ayre felt the pressure on their shoulders relax, and they couldn't help but look at Yang Huan gratefully.
At this time, in their eyes, Yang Huan is simply the messenger of justice.
"Yang Huan, what we are talking about now is Suarez's transfer.
It has nothing to do with you."
Abramovich's tone was quite unfriendly.
The Russians were so furious that they ordered them to be kicked out.
"Why doesn't it matter?"
Yang Huan asked with a calm smile.
"I have told Ian a long time ago that Southampton is also interested in Suarez.
If Liverpool wants to sell, they will be the first to notify us."
At this point, Yang Huan chuckled and said, "So, if you want to buy Suarez, okay, line up and stand behind me."
What the hell Everyone present almost went crazy.
Damn it, you have to line up and take turns to poach people these days.
I don't know why, but John Henry and Ian Ayre both burst into laughter after hearing this, feeling so happy in their hearts.
They are also selling people, and they would rather sell to Master Huan than to the aggressive Abramovich.
As for Arsenal's Gazidis, he has been silent since Master Huan appeared.
Perhaps, Arsenal's CEO is silently counting his little fingers in his mind, counting the small sums of money, planning to buy Real Madrid's Argentine striker Higuain.
Abramovich stared at Yang Huan with eyes that were about to burst into flames, and then looked at Ian Ayer.
"Mr.
Al, what he said is true."
This is tantamount to telling Ian Ayre, man, it’s time to take sides, show your stance.
Fuck with him or with me?
Ian Ayre and John Henry looked at each other without any hesitation.
Damn it, Chelsea have always made a living by poaching opponents, but Southampton is different.
There is an old Chinese saying that goes like this: It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.
You, Chelsea, did pay money to poach our players, but we lost our star players.
At best, it can only be regarded as an exchange of equal benefits.
But Southampton is different.
Master Huan founded the International Champions Cup and the European Youth Champions League, which is equivalent to opening up new financial resources for major clubs, bringing more abundant profits, and a steady stream of income.
Just think, everyone knows how to make a choice, right?
Besides, Mr.

Huan is not as domineering as Abramovich.
At the very least, I also wanted to poach people, but he acted like a gentleman, and he did it to a high level, making it easy for people to accept it.
"Mr.
Abramovich, I'm sorry, we did reach an agreement with Southampton.
If we want to sell Suarez, we will give priority to Southampton."
Ian Ayer's statement undoubtedly finalized this matter.
Southampton is fully involved in Suarez's transfer Of course, don’t think that Ian Ayre is a fool.
In fact, he is smart.
Since it is a priority, it must be priority under the same conditions.
This is of great benefit to Liverpool.
Besides, the wealthy Southampton has entered the game and can directly drive up Suarez's transfer price no matter what.
After hearing what Ian Ayre said, Abramovich suddenly felt so angry that he almost wanted to vomit blood.
Damn you, why are you weaklings all kneeling down and licking that bastard Yang Huan?
Can't you guys have some backbone?
But there is nothing the Russians can do about this situation.
In the end, I could only look at Ian Ayer, John Henry, and Yang Huan angrily, and nodded.
"Okay, okay, you will definitely regret it, you will definitely" After saying that, Abramovich turned and left, unwilling to stay for a moment.
Everyone could see that he would never give up.
Chelsea currently needs a striker, which can already be said to be an imminent big trouble.
If the Blues can secure the top four in the league this season, supplementation is inevitable.
If they cannot get a Champions League spot in the top four of the league, it will be even more imperative to strengthen the forward line.
Otherwise, what can we use to compete with other teams next season?
It is foreseeable that Abramovich will start to launch an offensive against Suarez in the next period of time After Gazidis saw Abramovich gone, he secretly congratulated himself on his wisdom.
In this situation, there is no chance for anyone to stand up.
Instead, it will arouse the dissatisfaction of Master Huan and attract hatred.
Why bother?
"Master Huan, Mr.
Al, Mr.
Henry, I'm leaving first too" After turning around, Gazidis, who was originally smiling, suddenly became serious.
Suarez, Arsenal may be out of business.
It seems that the next step is to have a good talk with Real Madrid about Higuain.
You can't afford to buy Suarez, and even Higuain will slip through your fingers.
Yang Huan watched the two competitors leave, feeling funny in his heart.
He has never taken Arsenal seriously.
The Gunners can't win against Suarez.
Even if Gazidis is really willing to shell out 40 million pounds, Suarez will definitely not go to Arsenal.
The only one qualified to be Southampton's rival is Chelsea Or Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Western Premier League But so what Southampton does not have an urgent need for Suarez.
It is just that the introduction of Suarez will strengthen Southampton's striker and enrich the team's offensive routine.
As for whether it can be introduced, it depends on the situation.
Besides, without Suarez, wouldn’t there be someone else?
For example, Dortmund's Lewandowski is also a very good center.
While Yang Huan was thinking, John Henry and Ian Ayre were also making eye contact:
