Chapter Five Hundred and Seventieth Queue up and Take Turns
Michels, who created the concept of Total Football in the Netherlands, once said that football is a war!
And it's a very serious war full of life and death!
Although, it does not have flames and gunpowder!
To give a very interesting example, before each game and before the start of the second half, both opponents must line up in the locker room passage, and then the on-duty referee team will lead the team into the stadium side by side.
After that, there were a series of symbolic ceremonies such as queuing up to listen to the national anthem and exchanging team flags.
Yes, this is equivalent to the declaration of war ceremony before the war!
Football is called a war without gunpowder smoke, but it is not an exaggeration at all.
From the sand table deduction and formation of troops before the game, to the on-the-spot command during the game, the outstanding soldiers are very close to actual combat.
This is one of the reasons why football is fascinating.
But what is another word to describe war?
By the way, war is the continuation of politics!
In other words, from ancient times to the present, war is nothing more than a means, a process.
The same is true on the football field!
If a football club is compared to two countries facing each other, then what determines the outcome of a war is definitely not what happens on the field of play, but the various operations under the field of the opposing sides.
The key point in deciding the outcome of a war is who has more advanced weapons!
On the football field, the star is the most important weapon on the battlefield!
Therefore, despite the fact that football club operators call themselves gentlemen and compare professional football to a gentleman's war.
As everyone knows, when it comes to stars, especially the battle for top stars, anyone can see their faces clearly.
When Yang Huan approached the crowd, he immediately heard Abramovich chasing John Henry and Ian Ayre, calling out Chelsea's offer very boldly.
"We are willing to pay the release clause for Suarez,
Forty million pounds! "
That eager, determined look is like an old pervert who has his eyes on a beautiful little girl.
On the side, Arsenal CEO Gazidis is even more unscrupulous.
"The termination fee is forty million pounds?"
"Oh, no, no, no, we naturally don't want to use the method of termination fee to poach people, we are willing to offer forty million and one pounds!"
That appearance, that posture, seems to be saying, we have already paid an extra pound, and you Liverpool still don't kneel and lick?
John Henry and Ian Al looked at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Liverpool is really down!
Today's Red Army has long lost the glory of the traditional top four in the Premier League at the beginning of the century.
The current Liverpool is more like a mid-upstream team in the Premier League, at the same level as Everton and Tottenham Hotspur.
Of course, if you want to talk about tradition and club culture, you can still talk about it.
But these days, professional football is all about capital!
"Sorry, Mr. Abramovich, Mr. Gazidis, Suarez, we don't sell it!"
Ian Eyre does have some backbone.
Damn you, you are too bullying, are you okay?
One directly intends to use the termination fee, and the other is even more embarrassing, one pound more than the termination fee, what do you mean?
Bullying us for having no money?
Yes, we Liverpool have no money and are poor, but we will not be bullied by you!
John Henry also nodded heavily, "Yes, not for sale, definitely not for sale!"
If you really want to sell it, you will definitely not sell it to you two bastards!
After hearing this, Abramovich smiled, "Mr. Henry, Mr. Al, I'm afraid it's up to you!"
Gazidis also kept nodding.
Suarez's termination fee is 40 million pounds!
In other words, anyone who can afford the price and convince the players can directly buy out the contract.
As for whether Liverpool are willing or not, who cares?
John Henry and Ian Ayrton were furious.
Don't these two guys mean to make it clear that they are poaching Liverpool's corner?
"I must solemnly remind you that we still have a contract with Suarez, and we have a non-poaching agreement!" Ian Ayer reminded solemnly.
"Yes, there is indeed such an agreement, that's why we talked with you!" Abramovich said with a smile.
After a pause, the Russian shook his head again, "It's just that you are obviously avoiding and refusing to solve the problem head-on!"
In the whole matter, Liverpool is indeed too passive.
Who told the Red Army not to take precautions in advance?
Now, even if Chelsea and Arsenal really justifiably poach Suarez, as long as they are willing to pay 40 million pounds to buy out the contract, Liverpool can only smash their teeth and swallow their blood!
Just in time, Yang Huan came over at this time and stood between John Henry and Ian Ayre. Seeing Abrahimovic's rich and self-willed face, 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 joked, "Can Chelsea keep the top four in the league?"
Slap in the face, slap in the face naked!
Abramovich felt the burning pain on his cheeks!
Damn Xipi, although Chelsea is currently occupying the fourth place in the league, they haven't settled down yet!
With so many rounds in the league, who knows if Tottenham, Arsenal and Everton will counterattack at any time?
Yang Huan's words were tantamount to exposing Abramovich's scars, slapped him, and told him that if you want to buy Suarez, you are not qualified for the time being, so let's talk about qualifying for the Champions League next season!
The hatred in Abramovich's heart.
Damn you, Yang Huan, how did I offend you?
I'm going to poach Liverpool's corner, none of your business?
But John Henry and Ian Ayre felt the pressure off their shoulders, and 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 the transfer of Suarez, it has nothing to do with you!" Abramovich's tone was quite unfriendly.
The Russians were almost furious and issued an order to expel the guests!
"Why doesn't it matter?" Yang Huan asked with a leisurely smile, "I told Ian a long time ago that Southampton is also interested in Suarez. If Liverpool wants to sell, they must be the first to notify us."
Speaking of this, Yang Huan smiled, "So, if you want to buy Suarez, you can, stand in line and stand behind me!"
What the hell!
Everyone present almost went crazy!
Damn Xipi, you have to wait in line to poach a corner these days?
I don't know why, but John Henry and Ian Eyre laughed when they heard this, and they were so happy in their hearts.
They are also sellers, they would rather sell to Master Huan than to the aggressive Abramovich.
As for Arsenal's Gazidis, since the appearance of Master Huan, he has been silent.
Perhaps, the CEO of Arsenal is silently counting his little fingers in his heart, counting a small amount of money, planning to buy Real Madrid's Argentine striker Higuain!
Abramovich stared at Yang Huan with fire-breathing eyes, and then at Ian Ayre.
"Mr. Al, is what he said true?"
This is tantamount to telling Ian Ayer, buddy, it's time to stand in line, express your opinion!
Hang out with him? Still mess with me?
Ian Al and John Henry glanced at each other, and there was no hesitation.
Damn Sippy, you Chelsea have always been poaching opponents for a living, but Southampton is different.
There is an old Chinese saying that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish!
You, Chelsea, poached our players, and you did give money, but we lost our star players. At best, it can only be regarded as an equivalent exchange of benefits.
But Southampton is different!
Master Huan founded the International Champions Cup and the European Youth Champions League, which is tantamount to opening up new sources of income for major clubs, bringing more substantial income, and it is still a steady stream of income.
Just imagine, everyone knows how to choose, right?
Besides, Master Huan is not as overbearing as you, Abramovich!
At the very least, they also want to poach corners, but they are a gentleman, and they do it with a level, which is easy to accept!
"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 is undoubtedly considered to be a final decision on this matter.
Southampton can be regarded as fully involved in the transfer of Suarez!
Of course, don't think that Ian Al is a fool, in fact, he is smart!
Since it is a priority, it must be the priority under the same conditions.
This is of great benefit to Liverpool.
Besides, the wealthy Southampton has entered the game. No matter what, they can directly drive up Suarez's transfer price.
After hearing what Ian Ayre said, Abramovich was so angry that he was about to vomit blood!
Damn Xipi, why are you soft-boned guys all running to kneel and lick that bastard Yang Huan?
Can't you guys have some backbone?
But for this situation, the Russians have nothing to do.
In the end, he could only look at Ian Al, John Henry, and Yang Huan angrily, and nodded.
"Okay, okay, you will regret it, you will!"
After speaking, Abramovich turned and left, unwilling to stay for a moment.
Everyone can see that he will not let it go.
Chelsea currently needs a striker, which can already be said to be an imminent big trouble.
If the Blues can stabilize the top four in the league this season, supplementation is inevitable.
If you can't get the Champions League places in the top four of the league, it is imperative to strengthen the striker.
Otherwise, what will be used to compete with other teams next season?
It is foreseeable that in the next period of time, Abramovich will start to launch an offensive against Suarez!
After Gazidis saw Abramovich left, he secretly thanked himself for being wise.
In this situation, it's useless for anyone to stand out. Instead, it will arouse Master Huan's dissatisfaction and hatred. Why bother?
"Master Huan, Mr. Al, Mr. Henry, I'm going too!"
After turning around, Gazidis, who was originally smiling, suddenly became serious.
Suarez, Arsenal may be out of luck.
It seems that the next thing to talk about Higuain with Real Madrid.
You can't buy Suarez, even Higuain slipped through your fingers, right?
Yang Huan watched the two competitors leave, feeling amused in his heart.
He never put Arsenal in his eyes, and the Gunners couldn't take Suarez.
Even if Gazidis is really willing to spend 40 million pounds, Suarez will definitely not go to Arsenal!
The only one qualified to be Southampton's competitor is Chelsea!
Or Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Western Super League!
But so what?
Southampton's need for Suarez is not urgent. It just means that the introduction of Suarez is a kind of reinforcement for Southampton's striker and enriches the team's offensive routines. As for whether it can be introduced, it depends on the situation!
Besides, without Suarez, is there no one else?
For example, Dortmund's Lewandowski, this is also a very good center forward!
While Yang Huan was thinking, John Henry and Ian Al were also making eye contact.
But just when they wanted to say something to Master Huan, they were interrupted abruptly.
"Master Huan, you really made it easy for me to find for a while!" r1148
