Yang Huan said solemnly that he was going to announce some decisions.
Everyone present, especially those who were unaware, looked at Master Huan with concern, and the entire Glory Square suddenly became silent.
The main podium is located on the steps of the main entrance of the stadium.
It is relatively high and overlooks the people on the square.
This made Master Huan feel very proud.
He likes this feeling of being looked up to by everyone.
It's really refreshing and enjoyable.
"First of all, we want to clarify to the outside world that so far, all the news about the transfer of our Southampton players are not true.
We have not reached an agreement with any team on player transfers, so fans can rest assured."
As soon as Yang Huan said these words, there were some voices below.
Obviously, there is something wrong with Yang Huan's words.
Yes, maybe Southampton has not reached an agreement with other teams, but it is not without contact and negotiation.
He didn't say it, so it's very doubtful.
"I know that Southampton has been poached by many big teams in the past few years, and we have suffered a serious loss of players, but at that time, we had to make such a painful decision in order to prepare for the construction of a new stadium."
"But now, our new stadium has been completed.
From now on, we at Southampton can be proud to tell everyone and the world that we are determined and confident to retain our core players."
As soon as Yang Huan said these words, the whole audience immediately applauded.
"Okay, that's awesome."
"Master Huan said it well, this is what we are going to do."
"That's great.
I've been waiting for the team to do this for a long time."
"We don't sell cores every year.
When will we sell them?"
"Master Huan, you are so awesome, I love you" Saints fans are indeed quite emotional about the club's declaration.
In the past few years, the team has sold people every year, and the ones sold are all the stars.
From captain Adam Lallana, defense pillar Benatia, midfield star Stroman, to later Neymar, Gareth Bale, Vidal, etc., Southampton's stars were sold one after another.
All the Saints fans saw it and felt pain in their hearts.
If this group of players were still there, how strong would Southampton be today?
Especially looking at this group of players, all of whom are shining brightly in other teams, this makes Saints fans feel even more regretful.
Well now, the team has decided to retain the core players, which proves that Southampton intends to make a big move.
From ancient times to the present, I have never seen a team become rich by selling people.
Yang Huan was on the main podium, raising his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.
When the scene became silent again, Master Huan continued.
"I solemnly announce here that we have signed a new contract extension with five players, including Neuer, Toni Kroos, Varane, Matic and Sturridge, for the next five years and These players will continue to play for Southampton within six years.”
As soon as Yang Huan said these words, the whole audience burst into applause again. who is neuer There is no one who is the strongest goalkeeper in the world.
There have always been rumors that Bayern Munich is going to take away Neuer, but now, the team's contract extension will undoubtedly tell all poachers to get lost.
The same situation applies to Toni Kroos, Southampton's midfield coach, who is also the target of all the wealthy teams competing to poach, but now, Southampton is obviously determined to retain this midfield coach.
Varane is the backbone of the team's defense.
He has performed very steadily whether in the Premier League or the Champions League this season.
He is currently the main central defender of the French national team.
He is favored by almost everyone and will be The most powerful top central defender in Europe in the next ten years.
Renewing Varane's contract undoubtedly means that Southampton's defense core will not be empty.
As for Matic and Sturridge, the former is the barrier of Southampton's midfield this season.
He is both offensive and defensive.
He is quite good.

He is an important member of the team and is highly valued by Bielsa.
However, because he has never been able to play the absolute main position, So there have always been rumors about leaving the team, but now he has renewed his contract.
Sturridge is currently England's top forward and England's top scorer this season.
He has scored 21 goals in the Premier League and his performance is quite eye-catching.
But Sturridge is in the same situation as Matic.
He is strong enough and relatively young, but in the fierce competition in Southampton, he has never been able to stand alone and serve as the absolute main force, so he has also been tempted by the outside world.
For example, Arsenal, there have always been rumors that Arsenal will introduce Sturridge.
However, Southampton has now renewed Sturridge's contract, which at least proves that he will continue to stay with the team for some time to come.
Fans were undoubtedly overjoyed to hear this exciting news from Yang Huan.
However, in the eyes of many reporters at the scene, especially those with a keen sense of news, Yang Huan's words were still suspicious.
For example, Suarez is widely rumored by the outside world.
The Uruguayan striker is the most dazzling killer in Europe this season and the top scorer in the Premier League.
Together with Sturridge, they form a double striker with amazing lethality.
They are currently being poached by Barcelona and Real Madrid.
But Yang Huan’s name is not on the contract renewal list.
However, this does not mean that Suarez will transfer.
After all, it has only been a year since he switched from Liverpool to the Saints.
He signed a five-year contract before and now it has just begun.
It is indeed too early to talk about renewing the contract.
But stars like Hazard, Modric, Javi Martinez, David Alaba, Pogba, James Rodriguez and other players have all received attention and poaching from the outside world.
Does that mean that these players who have not renewed their contracts are likely to leave the team?
When the reporter raised his hand and asked this question to Yang Huan, Mr.
Huan in front of the podium burst into laughter.
"Please don't over-interpret it.
In fact, we have officially started the contract renewal work about three months ago.
Currently, many players' contract renewals are still under negotiation and no consensus has been reached, but we are very confident.
Able to retain players”
But Yang Huan's answer was still not satisfactory.
"Master Huan, can you tell me more specifically about Southampton's transfer strategy this summer?"
One reporter simply asked his question straight to the point.
Yang Huan laughed, "I definitely can't tell you the specific transfer strategy.
If I told you who we have our eyes on, wouldn't that expose our goal?"
There was a sudden burst of laughter, but they all felt that Master Huan was a bit evasive.
"I can only say that we are actively operating the team's transfers based on the problems that the team has exposed so far this season, the team's weaknesses and deficiencies, and continue to strengthen the team's overall strength."
At this point, Yang Huan changed the topic, "I would also like to ask all Saints fans to rest assured that our Southampton will definitely not be a short-lived team.
This year's Champions League champion and league champion will only be Our successful start.”
"I, as well as all our management, all coaching staff, all players and staff, we at Southampton have extremely strong confidence and determination.
We will not rest on our past achievements. live" "I can even say now that the Champions League championship and the league championship are all over."
"What we are looking at now is the new season.
We must continue to maintain our competitiveness in the new season and maintain our core competitiveness in the Premier League, Cup, and Champions League.
We must continue to win more championships.
More honors launch a stronger and more powerful impact."
Yang Huan's words once again received applause from countless Saints fans in the audience.
Many reporters at the scene also captured the hidden meaning of Yang Huan's words, that is, Southampton is going to change.
As usual, there are two ways to deal with a situation like Southampton, one is like Inter Milan.

A large number of heroes who have renewed their contracts live with their past achievements.
But it’s clear what the situation is at Inter Milan now.
Another way is to actively seek change, boldly break the tactical framework formed by the team in the past, and make adjustments to the team.
But the latter one brings high risk and investment.
But it’s normal, because as the Champions League final progressed, Simeone’s Atletico Madrid successfully restricted Southampton’s offense.
This was equivalent to teaching all professional coaches in Europe a lesson, telling them that in the future, they will play San Antonio Apprentice, just learn from us This is a very dangerous thing for Southampton.
As strong as Barcelona, after the Grand Slam, the tactics were figured out, but they were still disabled.
Not only Barcelona, but also Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
After their tactics were figured out, they were directly beaten in the Champions League and completely lost the wealthy teams and the European championship. pride Therefore, both options have pros and cons, and it depends on the club.
Judging from what Yang Huan said, it is obvious that the Saints will choose the latter option.
So, judging from Yang Huan's tone, it is a foregone conclusion that Ibrahimovic, Drogba and other veterans will leave the Saints.
Perhaps, from an emotional point of view, Ibrahimovic had just brought the Saints the first Champions League championship in the club's history, and then turned around and sold him.
It was indeed unreasonable.
It may even be unacceptable to many fans.
But from a rational perspective, from the perspective of a club operator, this kind of operation is reasonable and should be done.
Selling Ibrahimovic has overturned Southampton's offensive model and routines over the past four years and re-established a new offensive lineup, which will undoubtedly break and overturn everyone's understanding of the Saints this season.
In the new season, who knows whether Atletico Madrid’s tactics against Southampton will still work.
And to a certain extent, Ibrahimovic's salary is too high and he is too old.
When Suarez and Sturridge have performed well for a season and there is no problem in taking over, retaining the Swedish center , will only aggravate the hidden dangers and conflicts in the locker room, it would be better to simply sell him.
Judging from the performance in the Premier League, replacing Ibrahimovic with Suarez will make Southampton more dynamic and attack sharper.
However, without Ibrahimovic's intimidation and dominance in the frontcourt, replaced by a striker like Suarez, how will Southampton's entire midfield and frontcourt tactics be adjusted, and even follow it?
The upcoming player changes and changes are all things that the coaching staff should carefully consider.
But, at least the general direction is correct.
From Yang Huan's words that he will never live by his past achievements, it can be seen that his youth, energy and vigor are all determining the future development direction of Southampton.
But, who knows how he and the entire Saints management team will operate this transfer:
