Chapter 400 Why Is He a Lunatic?

When Yang Huan arrived at Stapleswood, he saw people outside the gate of the training base.

It was decorated with lanterns, as if it was going to be a festival.

When the crowd saw the Lagonda Conqueror, they immediately branched out and let Yang Huan go there.

Some people even started shouting at Young Master Huan, apparently recognizing Yang Huan.

"Too many people!" Long Wu was driving in front and laughed.

"Let me get off at the gate!" Yang Huan said.

Although there are many people, they are very well behaved.

When the security guard Peter opened the door and let Yang Huan's car in, the fans outside were very disciplined, and no one wanted to rush in.

It can be seen that, in their eyes, Stapletwood is the core of the team, a holy 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 a good mood, his face was flushed as if he was bloodshot.

"Master Huan, many of them came before dawn. I was so frightened that I thought something happened!"

Although he was a little complaining, Peter laughed so much, not to mention how happy he was.

After so many years, when has Southampton been as beautiful as it is now?

Champions of the Europa League!

This is something that all Southampton fans have never dreamed of before!

In the past, they dreamed, at most, that Southampton would return to the Premier League, or even avoid relegation in the Premier League.

But now, he has returned to the Premier League, including two domestic cup championships, and also won a Europa League championship.

This is Southampton's first European champion in more than 100 years of history, can they not be excited?

"How many people are there?" Yang Huan asked with a laugh.

Standing inside the gate, outside the security room, looking out, I can only feel that there are people everywhere.

"I'm afraid there are thousands of people here, and I received news that today is a celebration in the whole city. Those shops, schools, etc. are all closed, I'm afraid they're going crazy!" Peter was very excited. said.

"Really?" Yang Huan was a little surprised. Even schools and shops were on holiday?

Isn't that outrageous?

There are about 200,000 people in Southampton, 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 the development of fans in the student group.

For example, students can enjoy discounts on football and season tickets.

There are not many teams that give discounts to students, and giants 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 these students finish their studies, they will not necessarily stay in the UK, but will go back to their country.

At that time, they will bring back their feelings for the saints.

This has huge benefits for Southampton's future development.

And it's not just students from Southampton who come to watch football at St. Mary's Stadium. There are even many students from London, Oxford, Cambridge, and even Manchester who come to Southampton to watch football.

The saints are also very hòu to these students,

Unlike other teams that put student tickets in some garbage-free locations.

Instead, the Saints specifically place students in a relatively well-placed area.

Also because of the various details made by the club, Southampton has a very good evaluation among the students.

The club has also launched a series of considerate services for other fan groups.

Although the team increased more operating costs, it brought a better experience to fans and greatly improved the team's image.

Peter didn't know that his own 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 also heard from Harry last night that their Saint Harry, as well as several other official fan clubs, plan to start today and hold various celebrations in the next few days. At that time, the city will definitely be very lively!"

Yang Huan couldn't help nodding, "Then tell Harry if you need help, even if you don't talk to the club!"

"Understood!" Peter nodded in agreement with a smile.

Yang Huan patted Peter on the shoulder again, gave a few words of encouragement, turned around and left to think about the training building.

In the parking lot of the training building, there is an open-top double-decker luxury bus, which the team specially rented.

The outside of the bus has long been dyed with Southampton's colors and team logo, as well as four championship trophies.

This represents what Southampton has achieved in the past season!

When Yang Huan passed the bus, he saw several youth team boys in the team talking around the bus.

Listening to their tone of voice, it seems that I can't express the envy, and I wish I could board the bus and follow the players of the first team to go on a tour.

Yang Huan recognized many people from it.

Such as England native rookie Luke? Shaw, Chambers, Prowse, Patrick? Roberts and so on.

There are also young players from outside Southampton, such as Januzaj, Kovacic and so on.

The whole team, whether it is Bielsa, or Griffa and Madoni, who are in charge of the youth training, are full of praise for the level of these young players, thinking that they will definitely be able to support Southampton in the next few years. big flag.

Moreover, they also performed quite well in a youth team event invested and planned by Yang Huan this season.

These people are the hope of Southampton's 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 a smile.

In fact, Yang Huan was not much older than them, but at this time, he had to wave and smile with them pretending to be mature.

"Don't be envious, work hard to improve your strength, and it won't take long for you to get on this bus!"

The group of young generals all burst into laughter one by one, but kept nodding their heads.

"only……"

Yang Huan deliberately paused to make everyone quiet down.

"At that time, what we want to celebrate is not the British Championship, what the Europa League, we want to celebrate the Premier League, and the European Champions Cup, I hope you can bring the Premier League trophy, and the Champions League St-Bride's Cup. , all hanging on the team bus!"

The boys were all excited at once.

Premier League?

It used to be so far away, but now, it is so close to them.

Next season, the team will be in the Premier League!

As for the Champions League, it is a stage only to dream of.

Can see Southampton's performance in the Europa League this season, who dares to say that the Champions League is very far away?

Hearing the encouraging encouragement from Young Master Huan, this group of teenagers seemed to be greatly encouraged.

When Yang Huan walked to the second floor, they all shouted to go back to training.

Seeing that look, Yang Huan couldn't help but smile.

Go down the corridor on the second floor, past Bielsa's head coach's office.

The door of the Argentine madman's office was open, but the people in the office turned their backs to the door and stared at the wall blankly.

There are some sticky notes cluttered on the walls, with the names of two football greats on top.

"These are the names of two of the greatest managers in Argentina's history."

Although Bielsa didn't look back, she 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 suddenly inexplicable in thinking.

In the eyes of normal people, there are many things that are not necessary to worry about, but they can make him think for a few days.

This is a true guy!

"Menotti!" Bielsa pointed to the one on the left, then to the right, "Bilardo!"

Yang Huan has heard the names of these two people, both of whom are great coaches who led Argentina to the World Cup championship.

But he was curious. Could it be that something stabbed this Argentine lunatic?

Otherwise, how could Bielsa stare at the wall 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 muttering to himself.

I believe that even if the person standing beside him at this time is not Yang Huan, but someone else, he will say the same.

Sometimes, people have to find someone to talk to.

It's actually a very painful thing to keep everything in your heart.

"Menotti is typical of aestheticism, while Bilardo is typical of pragmatism, they represent the two extremes of Argentine football."

Speaking of this, Bielsa suddenly turned around and smiled at Yang Huan.

"You know what? It took me sixteen years to study both of them, eight to Menotti, and another eight to Bilardo before I started coaching Newell's Old Boys."

If it was just a smile, Yang Huan wouldn't think there was any problem.

But this smile, plus this sentence, made him feel a creepy feeling.

Sixteen years, darling!

How crazy, how unbelievable is it for someone to spend sixteen years preparing to become a head coach?

Moreover, it is said that Bielsa's family background is quite good, belonging to the upper class of Argentina. His brother was once the foreign minister of Argentina, and his sister was also the mayor of a big city in Argentina.

Such a person who spent 16 years just to become a head coach?

Yang Huan has heard people say that Bielsa is an Argentine lunatic.

But it wasn't until this moment that he really felt why he was a lunatic!

This kind of person is not a lunatic, so who is a lunatic?

"Menotti values ​​those ethereal inspirations the most. He thinks football is unpredictable, but I don't agree!"

"Because I believe that no one person 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, a player, Depend on this kind of thing?"

Although Yang Huan didn't quite understand the core of football tactics, he also felt that it was indeed the case.

What is the most important thing about modern football tactics?

Stablize!

Long-term, stable high-level performance!

The team is like that, the stars are like that, you can't be successful without stability.

"Bilardo is the exact opposite. He likes to study opponents through a lot of videotapes. He thinks football is predictable, so he is a formulaist, some people say it is dogmatic, but I am different from him."

Having said this, the Argentine turned his head back and smiled, with a hint of wisdom.

"He studies routines and opponents for defense, and I am different, I am for offense!"

After the end, he laughed a little at himself, but also smiled a little complacently.

"At this point, I am the same as Menotti. Everything we do is for attacking!"

Yang Huan suddenly had a feeling that Bielsa's coaching career has actually been pursuing his own football philosophy and turning it into reality!

He is not Menotti or Bilardo, he is Bielsa!

A unique Bielsa!

Maybe every head coach is like that!

They may have been nurtured and influenced by countless predecessors, and they are constantly learning the strengths and advantages of others.

But in their bones, they are still pursuing their own way of football!

It is a football philosophy that cannot be described in simple words, nor can it be explained clearly.

It can't be simply boiled down to words like offense, defense, balance, and ball control.

Only by understanding!

By showing the performance of the team on the court, let the people watching the ball comprehend it by themselves.

Some people understand, some people don't.

Football is like this, isn't it the same with life?
