Chapter 221: Huan Young Master's Thighs

Southampton's training building has only two floors.

This is the same as football training bases all over the world, low buildings.

The first floor is the fitness room, swimming pool, lounge, recreation room, locker room, medical room, etc. The second floor is the office of the coaching staff, the head coach's office, and two conference rooms, one large and one small.

Behind the training building is the living area.

The living areas of the first team and the youth team are connected together and share a two-storey building.

The ground floor is a restaurant, and the second floor is a room dedicated to the players sleeping.

All rooms and facilities are decorated in strict accordance with the standards of five-star hotels.

Even the restaurant on the ground floor is strictly implemented to high standards.

By the way, the management system of the entire training base will be modernized.

Just like a restaurant.

Every day, the person in charge of the restaurant will receive information from the medical department, the coaching staff, or the research center, which will request the restaurant to prepare meals for the players according to the physical conditions, injuries and other aspects of different players.

There will be nutrition experts in the research center to track this area and provide the most professional advice for the restaurant's meal preparation.

Even if necessary, the restaurant will feed back the players' dining conditions to other departments and record them in detail.

This is just the restaurant's interaction with other departments.

In the entire Staplewood, there is a very close interaction and connection between almost every department and every working group, and what maintains all of this is the high-tech project that Yang Huan started to promote a year ago. Technology management system.

Including Yang Huan himself, Bielsa and others, there is an APP in the mobile phone.

Let them connect to the system anytime, anywhere and see everything here.

The whole system is very complicated and requires constant debugging and constant running-in.

But there are some areas that have matured and are starting to work.

For example, data analysis.

A lot of money has been invested in Yang Huan,

The introduction of two technical experts, including Marcus du Satoy and Howard Hamilton, plus a research team composed of graduates from Oxford, Yale, Stanford and other famous schools, makes Southampton's data analysis capabilities fast promote.

And all of this is ultimately reflected on this side of the computer screen in Bielsa's office.

"Me and Marcus, and Howard, tried to do statistics and analysis of all our games last season, you know what I found?"

Yang Huan was depressed, how do I know what you found.

"Speak directly to the point!"

He found that almost all technical gurus like to show off and sell off.

You will die if you don't sell it?

Bielsa smiled awkwardly, "I found that our midfield is not lacking in defense."

"What do you mean?" Yang Huan didn't quite understand.

"To give an example, from a data point of view, a midfielder's defense is good, which can be reflected in many aspects, such as midfielders' interceptions, steals, and even fouls."

Yang Huan can understand this.

According to the data giant, everything can be explained by data.

It doesn't make sense because you don't have enough data.

"If we analyze it according to this line of thinking, we have no shortage of interceptions, no shortage of steals, and no shortage of fouls in the midfield."

Having said that, Bielsa called up a set of charts with some comparisons.

And the object of comparison is still the Premier League team.

From the chart, Southampton's midfield defensive data is not lost to the Premier League team, even better than Arsenal, Manchester United, is worse than Chelsea.

But for so many years, the Blues have always been a team known for their defense, and defense is naturally good.

The main thing here is that Strowman and Vidal's performance is too eye-catching.

"You mean we don't need a defensive midfielder?"

All along, everyone, including Bielsa, has been telling Yang Huan that Southampton lacks a midfielder.

Bielsa smiled awkwardly, "We lack a midfielder, but we don't lack defense."

"Then what?" Yang Huan seemed to understand.

"A very important reason why our midfielders have not been able to play stronger combat effectiveness is that our midfielders are too far behind the top teams in terms of organizing and distributing the ball."

With that said, he called up another chart.

The object of comparison is still a few strong teams in the Premier League, but this time the gap is huge.

Compared with Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester City, etc., Southampton's midfield is the worst in creating chances.

"Our midfield is seriously holding back Ibrahimovic!" Bielsa came to this conclusion.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has really scored goals in League One and the FA Cup.

However, according to Bielsa's statement, if Southampton's midfield can be improved by a grade, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's attacking power will be stronger.

Even the likes of Neymar will perform better.

"From a tactical point of view, as well as Ibrahimovic's characteristics, Adam Lallana's position should be removed, because many functions of this position overlap with Ibrahimovic's, resulting in waste."

"In midfield, Vidal and Strowman are great, but we need a commander, a commander."

Now Yang Huan really understood.

"You mean, we need a commander like Pirlo?"

Bielsa nodded, "Theoretically yes, but Pirlo's age, I don't think it suits us."

"Harvey Alonso?" Yang Huan asked again with a smile.

This player is both offensive and defensive, and is definitely a commander-level baby worth starting.

"Can you talk about Real Madrid?" Martin Hunter shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Xavi Alonso is not old enough to be old enough. How could he throw away the core of Real Madrid and come to Southampton to play the Championship?

"So, Busquets doesn't do it anymore."

Yang Huan felt that how much would it cost Barcelona to sell Busquets?

Besides, he has absolutely no love for the Barcelona Oscar winner.

"By the way, in addition to the midfielder, I plan to comprehensively improve the team's ball-handling ability in the next season. Therefore, we need to introduce another player for the central defender."

Southampton currently has four central defenders, Benatia, Varane, Jose? Fonte and Sibourne.

Looking at the whole season, Siberne basically did not get any opportunities and has been transferred out on a free transfer.

Jose? Wundt is also interested in League One teams, and it is estimated that they will also be available.

There are only two players left, Benatia and Varane. Even if Nastasic was introduced last season, there are only three, and two are teenagers, which is somewhat thin.

"I know this. I have asked Raiola to contact him before, and there will be news soon."

Yang Huan also remembered his bet with Abramovich.

"By the way, I've finalized a few Chelsea players."

Bielsa was a little surprised, all the poaching went to Chelsea?

"Who?"

"Matic, Sturridge, and..." Yang Huan also deliberately sold a pass, and when everyone looked over, he said with a smile, "...Drogba!"

"Drogba?" Bielsa lost his voice in surprise.

The young coaching staff member Pablo Quiroga stood up on the spot with a look of disbelief.

"My darling, are you going to Chelsea to poach Drogba?"

Yang Huan looked at the fuss of these guys and thought it was very funny.

"Who is interested in digging, Chelsea is so enthusiastic, they took the initiative to send it!"

However, no sane person would believe this.

They will only think that Young Master Huan has made a big deal this time, and went to the local tyrant Chelsea to poach people.

Too arrogant!

"Marcelo, you can decide what to do with these three players. If you can use them, keep them and use them. If you can't use them, just sell them."

Yang Huan's casual remark shocked everyone present even more.

Listening to the tone, it doesn't seem that he is really poaching.

"Master Huan, these three players... what's going on?" Bielsa asked with a wry smile.

"It's all said, Chelsea gave it away for nothing, don't you believe it?"

Is it easy these days, to be honest?

"Really free?" Martin Hunt felt suspicious.

"Nonsense, no matter how good Drogba is, he is also a veteran. Am I interested in digging him?"

What Southampton is most interested in is the little comrades with thin skin and tender meat.

Speaking of which, he also found it funny, "Abramovich is doing everything he can to curry favor with me and hug my thighs, so not only is it a free gift, but he is also willing to pay the salaries of these players. Tell me, they are so enthusiastic. , can I refuse? Are you embarrassed to refuse?"

The crowd nodded.

It is so enthusiastic that refusing it will offend people!

Hearing that Abramovich came to hug Master Huan's thigh so hard, everyone's eyes on Yang Huan became a little different.

To say that this young master Huan is indeed special enough.

Always do something that isn't astonishing to die.

If Abramovich hugs someone else's thigh, people may still be a little skeptical.

But it is absolutely possible to hug Young Master Huan's thigh.

For a time, the eyes of this group of people were filled with something called worship.

Yang Huan felt it, and was a little proud.

Look at the shock of you guys, I haven't said it all yet?

If you knew that Abramovich was going to give me a Messi, wouldn't it break your little hearts?

After the shock, back to the topic.

"Matic and Sturridge have performed very well during the time they were on loan, especially Sturridge, who stayed!" Bielsa pondered the earthquake caused by the arrival of the three players.

"Let's just sell both Lambert and Barnard up front, Jason Bunchen, and Matic in the midfield. Hammond is also sold to streamline the team's lineup."

Yang Huan also had no opinion.

In this group of people, Lambert is a little familiar, and the others are not famous.

But even Lambert was twenty-nine years old, and while there was still a bit of a market, he would make a move when he should.

"Okay, you can discuss these things!"

Yang Huan himself is not a professional, at best an amateur fan.

Therefore, in the professional field, he has no place to speak.

But his biggest characteristic is that he respects knowledge and talents.

Since you don't understand it, let someone who understand do it, that's right.

Taking advantage of the free time now, Yang Huan simply called Raiola again to find out about the progress of the transfer.

"Minuo, I found that your efficiency has decreased recently!" Yang Huan's first sentence was criticism.

Mino Raiola on the other side of the phone smiled bitterly, "It's hard to talk, Master Huan."

My eldest young master, it's not that I'm inefficient, it's that your requirements are high, and you choose not for sale. Is it easy for me?

Yang Huan was cheerful and nodded, "That's right, it's not a high-level player, we Southampton don't even look down on it!"

"How is it? How are you doing in Spain?"

"It's still talking, it's a bit stuck."

"what is the problem?"

"The club is a matter of money, and the players are a bit of a problem."

"Um?"

"Next season, he wants to play in the Europa League."

"Nonsense, we Southampton can also play the Europa League. Isn't the Europa League that they participate in in Spain and the Europa League that we participate in England not the same competition?"

Raiola still smiled wryly.
