Chapter 789 Is This Too Outrageous?
As a well-known seaport city on the south coast of England with a history of more than 1,000 years, Southampton has always given the impression that it is thriving, yet quiet and leisurely.
If you use the words of many international students, this is a very cultural and youthful city.
For example, the residents here, in almost every house, all the places that can be placed are decorated with flowers and plants.
Here, you can't see the hustle and bustle of traffic in the bustling metropolis, nor the bustling and charming lights, nor the tense and suffocating rhythm of life in London, which is an hour's drive away.
It's slow here, everything is slow, comfortably slow.
Under the cloudless blue sky, in the sea breeze blowing from the Solent Strait, the red brick houses surrounded by flowers and green trees, everything is so beautiful and peaceful.
This is Southampton!
A city to live in!
But no one thought that such a city, such a group of residents whose life rhythm was almost lazy, suddenly broke out into unbelievable madness.
Just last night, almost the entire city was thrown into a frenzied celebration.
Almost all the people took to the streets, celebrating unrestrainedly, as if they wanted to vent the passion that had been suppressed in their hearts for a long, long time, maybe even a lifetime that they had never had before.
It is difficult to accurately describe the madness that happened in this city last night, but anyone, as long as they walk on the street the next day, look at the garbage and sundries on the road that was originally clean as if it was spotless, and look everywhere Visible broken wine bottles, looking at those drunks who are unconscious, still lying on the side of the road, sleeping in front of other people's shops...
Even the sanitation workers who were punctual and responsible on weekdays actually went on strike.
Everyone will be stunned and ask, "My God, what's wrong with this city?"
It is even very doubtful. Could it be that the riots in North London three years ago were repeated in Southampton?
Occasionally, there would be drunks who fell down on the street, struggled to stand up sleepily, and could smell the alcohol on his body from a distance, which made people stay away and dare not approach.
But he saw you!
"Hey,
what time is it now? The drunk man scratched his scalp, looking itchy and uncomfortable.
"Nine thirty in the morning!"
"Oh, damn it, it's so late!" The drunk seemed to be awakened.
Turning around, seeing several other people still lying on the side of the road, they walked over quickly and kicked lightly with their feet.
"Hey, wake up, the plane is here!"
"Wake up quickly, the plane has arrived!"
"Hurry up, we're running out of time!"
The drunks were woken up one by one, and when they heard that it was half past nine, they were all shocked.
The result was very fast. Not long after, the drunks all over the street got up one by one and walked towards the north.
Some even simply run!
"My God, what is going on here?"
Going further north, you will soon be able to hear the movement.
The momentum was very loud, as if thousands of people were making their voices at the same time.
The closer you get to the new main road connecting Southampton Airport to Glory Square, the more people there are and the more crowded it gets.
In the end even both sides of the road were crowded.
The entire new main road, inside and out, is full of people.
The shocking momentum heard from afar just now was made by this group of people.
"Excuse me, what's going on?"
He stopped a passerby and asked.
"Today is our Saints fans' day. The team won the Champions League and the Premier League. They are parading around the city. All the Saints fans are here to participate. Hey, you are not wearing the team's jersey. You are not a Saints fan. !"
After speaking, he broke free and left.
It seems that if you are not a Saints fan, you are completely different from him.
Is this still a mild and friendly Southampton resident?
Champions League?
Premier League champions?
To be able to make the whole city empty?
This is too outrageous, too crazy?
But that's the beauty of football!
Not only in Southampton, but even in the entire south of London and the surrounding areas of the Saints, almost all the streets are empty, because all the fans who support the Saints Southampton have gathered here.
From Southampton Airport to Glory Square, the newly completed municipal avenue was completely blocked by frantically gathered fans. Even the team was carrying players, coaches, and the most important two championship trophies. Uncovered buses are also difficult to move.
But what is even more frightening is the Glory Square.
On this artificial island, there are dense crowds of people everywhere, all eagerly looking forward to the team's return from the parade, because there will be a ceremony to welcome the St. Brad's Cup next.
This is the first St. Bradley Cup in the history of the Southampton club!
Therefore, the whole ceremony is very grand.
...
"Master Huan, good morning!"
"Good morning!"
Yang Huan walked briskly into the Saints Honor Exhibition Hall of the Glory Stadium. With a smile on his face, he greeted everyone.
Since the team won the Champions League last night, his smile has never disappeared from his face.
I heard from Zhuang Ziqing and Zhang Ning that he was laughing even in his dreams last night, God knows if it's true or not?
Headed straight for Nicola Cortez, only to find Peter Kenyon and Ron Gurley among others.
"It's almost time, where is the team bus?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.
According to the original plan, the ceremony to welcome the Champions League trophy should be held at twelve o'clock.
But now, even the shadow of the bus is not seen.
"Master Huan, I'm afraid we have to wait a little longer." Nicola Cortes said with a wry smile.
"What's going on?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.
"The road is blocked!"
"Stuck in traffic?" Yang Huan was a little surprised, but soon laughed, "How long did it take to get here from the airport? You can even walk here!"
Peter Kenyon also came over at this time, with a helpless wry smile on his face, "Master Huan, I guess I can't even walk now."
"Really?" Yang Huan was a little skeptical, isn't this too outrageous?
"Hey, how about you ask the mayor yourself!"
Just at this time, Terry Matthews from the Southampton market in the distance came over.
"Hey, Master Huan, congratulations, congratulations!"
This guy smiled from a distance, stretched out his hands, grabbed Yang Huan's hand, and kept congratulating him.
"Southampton won the Champions League, which is a credit to our city. Even the Queen and the Prime Minister have personally called the city government and the team, affirming that Southampton will bring glory to English football in the Champions League!"
This guy is so shameless, he said it as if Southampton won the Champions League and he had a contribution.
But Yang Huan knew in his heart, isn't this the case for all politicians?
Get used to it!
"Hey, let me tell you, Terry, I heard that the Municipal Avenue is blocked, right?" Yang Huan asked curiously.
Terry Matthews just laughed, nodded and said: "Isn't it? People around, all who can come, some are hardcore Southampton, and some are just here to join in the fun. As a result, there are too many people. blocked the road."
Having said that, he smiled wryly again, "Master Huan, we have dispatched all the police, even temporary workers, and we should be able to control the situation soon."
What else can Yang Huan say?
However, he really did not expect that the citizens of Southampton and the fans in the surrounding area were too surprised.
When Southampton won the Premier League title before, although there was quite a commotion, it has never been like this.
You know, the new Municipal Boulevard has eight lanes in both directions, and even this road is blocked, how many people would it take?
However, looking outside, the Glory Plaza was already overcrowded.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Municipal Avenue is blocked.
"By the way, Ron, how are the preparations going in the recording studio?" Yang Huan asked again.
Although Southampton's team song is passed on by fans, there has never been an official version, not even a decent official version. It is more of a spontaneous nature of the fans.
So, sometimes it will look messy.
Yang Huan decided to change this situation of fighting each other, so he decided to launch an official version.
Josh, the gold medal arranger of Miracle Media, invited Lin Yuner and Uncle Psy's royal team to produce, and then the players collectively recorded, Southampton will release a new version of the Saints team song.
Because Lin Yuner and Uncle Psy had a recording studio in Southampton before, so they only need to prepare a little bit.
The players are also rushing to participate in the national team's training camp and prepare for the upcoming World Cup in Brazil. Therefore, the time is arranged in the afternoon. At that time, all fans who follow Southampton can watch the live broadcast through APP, WeChat and the official website , Witness the whole process of recording the team song.
This will also be the first appearance of the official version of the team song, which is highly anticipated by the outside world!
After all, it was made by Uncle Psy and Lin Yuner's royal team, and the quality is absolutely outstanding.
"Master Huan, everything is almost ready, the only thing missing is the players!"
Yang Huan hummed, and let go of one of his worries.
Just at this time, members of the Saints Fan Club came over from the Undersea Hotel one after another.
Yang Huan went to receive him, so it was unavoidable to exchange pleasantries.
Afterwards, a group of guests and famous club members also came to Glory Square one after another. Coupled with more and more reporters and media, the whole Glory Square became extremely lively.
At the moment when the team bus arrived at the Glory Square belatedly, the atmosphere on the scene was brought to its peak in an instant.
If it weren't for the police surrounding the bus to isolate this group of crazy fans, the two championship trophies placed in the front row of the bus would have been dragged down by the fans long ago.
Yang Huan was so scared that he quickly broadcast through the stadium to remind the fans not to mess around.
He doesn't want the team to win a Champions League trophy with great difficulty, but in the end they act like Real Madrid's drama of breaking the championship trophy. What will they put in the team's honor exhibition hall?
Could it be possible to put that tattered championship trophy in there?
Isn't that going to be laughed out of your teeth?
After being reminded by the stadium broadcast, the fans became more self-disciplined, and the order on the scene gradually stabilized.
The uncovered bus stopped in front of the main gate of the stadium.
Yang Huan took executive chairman Nicola Cortez, CEO Peter Kenyon, and chief operating officer Ron Gurley down the steps to greet coach Bielsa who got off the bus. And all the players in the car.
The two championship trophies are held by Neuer and Ibrahimovic respectively, and these two players are also representatives of the team.
After a round of formalities, the championship trophy was placed in a conspicuous place in front of the main gate of the stadium, allowing all reporters and fans to watch and take pictures from a distance, while Yang Huan walked onto the main podium on behalf of the team.
At the beginning, of course, it is inevitable to praise the coaching staff, players, and club staff, thank them for their contributions, and then introduce some celebrations that will be held after the team wins the championship.
For example, in the next few years, fans can freely enter and exit the Glory Stadium and enjoy the team's honor exhibition hall.
Don't look at Southampton's lack of glorious history in the past, but in the past few years, the team has won many championship trophies.
Of course, compared with those veteran giants, it is still much inferior.
But at least it's not shabby anymore, is it?
"Taking advantage of this opportunity, I also solemnly announce some decisions on behalf of Southampton!"
Yang Huan said with a serious face.
