Chapter 146 I Bet

Abramovich sat in the stands at St Mary's Stadium.

His left and right positions are vacant, and then there is the team's chief executive Ron Gurley.

Around his position, thirty black-clothed bodyguards were scattered everywhere, leaving many positions empty.

This is the pomp of the Russian super rich!

But in this pompous stage, in the crowded stands of the entire St. Mary's Stadium, it seems like a small pebble thrown into the vast ocean, not even a spray can splash, let alone attract the attention of the audience. .

Sitting on the hard seat, Abramovich scolded Southampton's poor stadium hardware in his heart.

But in his heart there is no lack of envy and jealousy.

At least, Southampton's home atmosphere is surprisingly hot.

The game is about to start, and the atmosphere in the stadium is getting more and more warm, especially when the warm-up band rushed into the St. Mary's Stadium and swept the audience with the best rock music, it ignited everyone's hearts. passion.

He has to admit that Southampton is really good at creating a home atmosphere.

"Ron, why are they doing so well at home? Our attendance keeps dropping?"

Abramovich asked Ron Gurley next to him with a serious look.

The latter was originally the deputy of former Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon. Ron Gurley took over as CEO after Peter Kenyon had a conflict with Abramovich and left Chelsea. .

Because of this, he has always been conscientious and conscientious, and he also has lingering fears about this boss who holds the power of life and death, who seems to be kind, but actually likes life and death.

When he asked this question, his heart trembled.

This question is not easy to answer!

"It's a lot of things," Ron Gourley said ambiguously.

Abramovich pressed on, "Let's hear it."

Ron Gurley pondered, "On the one hand, our style of play is really not pleasing enough, from the technical style of the players to the overall tactical characteristics of the team, we are unable to play a hearty and gorgeous offensive football.

"

This was established during the Ranieri era and reached its peak during the Mourinho era.

Even many later coaches, including Ancelotti, who broke 100 goals in his first season in charge, couldn't break it.

Abramovich has always had a knot in his heart.

He longed for Chelsea to play brilliant and flamboyant attacking football, but he couldn't.

"anything else?"

Ron Gurley thought for a while, "There's another point, I think it has something to do with the aging of the players."

Seeing that Abramovich didn't say anything, he knew to continue.

"The aging of the players will inevitably lead to the rigidity of the team's tactical style. The lack of the smooth running that fans appreciate now will lead to the loss of a pleasing wave of offensive, and our group of players are basically watched by fans. An old face that has been around for many years and lacks freshness."

"The team's tactical style lacks freshness, and the players also lack freshness. Coupled with the gradual aging of the players in recent years, the team's competitiveness has declined year by year, and ultimately the team's home attendance rate is not high."

Abramovich still didn't say anything, stared straight ahead and listened silently.

"Actually this is true in many fields, such as Hollywood."

"In Hollywood, after a star has made a blockbuster commercial, there will definitely be a sequel, but usually a third film is made, no matter how good the box office is or how much fans like it, the film company will not consider it in a short time. For the fourth film, even if we want to do it, we must replace the entire star team and replace it with a new set of faces."

This is a business law in the film industry, and it applies to football as well.

Looking at Chelsea, this group of players in the team are basically old faces, and they will inevitably suffer from aesthetic fatigue.

Having said that, Ron Gurley looked at Abramovich with a bit of hesitation.

In the end, he still spoke up.

"Actually, the UK, or all the fans who love the Premier League, are tired of the current situation in the Premier League."

"Before the rise of Chelsea, the Premier League was always dominated by Manchester United and Arsenal, so the rise of Chelsea almost triggered a major earthquake in Premier League football and even European football. The momentum was amazing."

"But after we won the championship for two consecutive years, Manchester United recovered and Arsenal declined. The Premier League has become a game between Chelsea and Manchester United, especially the semi-finals, which are monopolized by several powerful teams. Arsenal lacks ambition to win the championship. , aiming at the semi-finals every year, it has caused the dissatisfaction and indignation of countless fans."

"At the end of the day, they're sick of this cliché."

"In this case, they need the stimulation of fresh blood. Although Manchester City has appeared in the Premier League, Southampton, which is not in the League One, is not as noticeable because everyone is looking forward to a game, and the **silk counterattacks the rich and handsome. The drama is in the Premier League!"

"Right now, the whole of England, the whole of Europe, the whole world, is looking forward to one thing."

"That is, whether Southampton can really win back to the Premier League, whether they can continue the money-burning game, and even challenge the status of traditional strong teams, and even win the Premier League championship!"

Having said that, Ron Gurley had to admire in his heart.

From the perspective of promoting and marketing a brand concept, Southampton is really very successful.

They not only displayed their own brands, but also exported their own ideas, attracting countless resonating fans around them and fanatically paying attention to their every move.

Abramovich didn't speak the whole time, just sat and listened silently.

It was not until Ron Gurley finished speaking that he smiled proudly and turned to look at Ron Gurley.

"They won't have that chance!"

Chelsea won't allow it, Manchester United won't allow it, neither will Arsenal nor Liverpool.

Southampton have performed well this season, but there are already teams conspiring to dig their corners.

It is foreseeable that the better Southampton performs, the harder the opponent's corner will be.

If Southampton does not have a good response, then their final result will be the same as all other mid-level teams, becoming a star processing factory for the top players, and they will be stepped on in the middle area of ​​​​the pyramid.

Ron Gurley is also very clear that the competition in the football industry is very cruel, especially the competition of capital.

To put it bluntly, the star is a scarce commodity, and there is no market for it.

The most important thing for tyrannical teams is money, and they have a huge poaching advantage.

Just at this time, Abramovich's phone rang again.

Immediately after that, Pini Zahavi said with a wry smile, "Roman, he refused!"

Abramovich stood up abruptly, grabbed the guardrail with one hand, and scolded ****** through gritted teeth. He had the urge to drop the phone next to his ear, but he quickly calmed down and looked at Luo En Gourley.

"How much chance do we have in this game?"

Ron Gurley didn't know how to answer. Before a football game is over, who would dare to say a sure win?

"According to William Hill, almost 94 per cent of bettors bought us Chelsea, and we let Hemisphere."

Abramović hummed and spoke to the phone again, "Again, 50 million pounds, if he wins, I will give him two players for free, and if he loses, he will sell Neymar to me! "

When it comes to Neymar, the fire in Abramovich's heart erupted uncontrollably.

He just failed to sign, but when he turned around, this damn League One team dug up Neymar.

what is this?

Is this a slap in the face?

Why did he go to great lengths to drive the Eclipse into Southampton, just to slap that Chinese man in the face.

But now, the face was not made, but he slapped his face.

If he doesn't ask for it back, he won't be reconciled!

"Roman, this..." Pini Zahavi thought this was crazy.

But Abramović didn't listen to him, "Tell him again, you can bet if you dare, the conditions are easy to negotiate, and if you don't dare to gamble, you're a coward, that's all!" He just hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, he looked down and muttered, "Ancelotti, you better give me a big score to win this game!"

Just then, the lights of the stadium dimmed.

All the lights in the audience were concentrated at one point and fell on the exit of the player tunnel.

A lively and beautiful girl, wearing a Southampton jersey, walked out of the player tunnel amid the cheers of the fans and the focus of the lights.

There were many young female dancers gathered around her.

But in this group of people, her innocence, her beautiful appearance, her slenderness and vitality all stand out.

"Who is she?" Abramović was taken aback, this woman was so beautiful, she was outrageously beautiful.

He swears that he has never seen such a beautiful woman in his life!

Even if he never liked Oriental women, he couldn't help but be moved.

Especially the lively vigor that exudes from her.

"She?" Ron Gurley looked at her intently, "Oh, her name is Lin Yuner, a female star who has become popular recently. She seems to be Korean. It is said that Yang Huan made her popular."

At the beginning, Yang Huan smashed Aston Martin in South Korea because of her, and it was also published in major British newspapers.

"Really?" Abramovich's eyes flashed a strange color, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

He was moved!

…………

…………

"Master Huan, Mr. Abramovich has made a final offer, a transfer fee of £50 million. Once we win, Southampton will let it go. If we lose, Mr. Abramovich will let you go. Chelsea pick two players."

"Free transfer!"

When Pini Zahavi said this, everyone around was stunned.

This is no longer a bet, this is simply a fight.

Is it because Yang Huan didn't let him park the Eclipse in Southampton, so he wants revenge?

"Is he so confident?" Yang Huan also felt that this condition was a bit outrageous.

Pini Zahavi couldn't help laughing, he also thought it was outrageous.

But there is no way, he is just a microphone to convey it.

"Mr. Abramović also said that if you dare to gamble, you can gamble. If you are not satisfied with the conditions, you can negotiate. If you don't dare to gamble..."

He didn't dare to say the last sentence of the coward, for fear that Yang Huan would be angry with him.

Yang Huan was also angry when he heard this.

I dare not bet?

Damn, there is nothing in this world that I dare not gamble!

I was forced to the door by others, and there were so many people around me watching. If I didn't dare to gamble, how embarrassing would I be?

"Okay, I bet!"

Yang happily stood up again.

"However, I have one condition!"

Pini Zahavi saw Yang Huan let go, and he was relieved, "Conditions? Say whatever you want!"

"Although they are a Premier League team and we are a League One team, I don't think we are weaker than them at all, so you tell Abramovich, no matter how much you bet, I will accompany you, but we not only don't need him to let , we are the home court, we let them, even if we lose in a draw!"

Yang Huan's words were arrogant, but it made Nicola Cortez's heart tremble.

What a great advantage, Master Huan doesn't need it, and gives it to the other party in return, this...

But he is also a man of backbone.

There is a saying that goes well, losers don't lose.

In this case, if you admit defeat, it is really hard to tolerate. ()
