Chapter 897 Match Day (2)
History has inertia. After Yang Cheng became the owner of the team last season, every time he went to the scene to watch the game, he would give out a huge amount of winning bonus. This also made the team have a thinking inertia. Of course, everything still has to be based on victory.
The opponent in this game, Southampton, is not strong in the Premier League, but it is weak. Occasionally, it can stage a good show of a dark horse counterattack, but for Liverpool, which is aiming for various championships this season, Southampton Dayton can't be a stumbling block, victory is a matter of course, otherwise Ian Ayer wouldn't brazenly ask the big boss for money.
However, the money spent these days has been a bit aggressive. Yang Cheng felt that he had to control it, but it was not easy to face his subordinates, so he pretended to be angry and said, "Do you have the nerve to ask me for a bonus if you hit Southampton? I don't If you give a bonus, you won’t play football?”
Ian Ayre was dumbfounded, this is not the right way. During the team’s pre-match meeting in the afternoon, the players learned that the big boss would come to watch the game, and they joked one after another, guessing how much cash reward Yang Cheng would give out. Ian Al also felt that Yang Cheng, who has always been generous, should not hesitate to encourage her with bonuses, but what is the situation now? Be scolded? The big boss is angry? He was a little panicked.
After beating for a while to achieve the goal, Yang Cheng let go, "You should put your mind on playing football, let's forget it this time, follow the old rules, 1 million pounds, how to allocate it is up to you."
Ian Ayer quickly said yes, blaming himself in his heart. Today is indeed a bad day, and it's not an important game. How can he ask the boss for a bonus? It stands to reason that he should stand on the boss's side and save the boss money.
Damn it! unwise! Ian Al kept cursing himself in his heart.
The box was quiet for a while, although the thick glass curtain wall did not stop the enthusiastic shouts of 60,000 Red Army fans.
10 minutes before the start of the game, Ian Ayre answered the phone and left the awkward box, going out to bring Recosta and his friends in.
"Mr. Yang, it's been a long time. How are you doing?" As soon as he entered the door, Recosta showed his demeanor and greeted Yang Cheng cordially.
Following Recosta came in, and there was a blond, blue-eyed, strong Caucasian man, who looked a bit Germanic, so he probably wasn't British. Yang Cheng glanced at the Caucasian man, and at the same time guessed in his heart , without a single pause in his mouth, he said to Recosta, "I am doing well, how are you? I heard that your affairs are going very well?"
Recosta nodded with a smile, "Everything is going well, by the way, let me introduce you, this is a friend I just met, Bjornjos, the co-founder and CEO of Norwegian Air."
Yang Cheng's eyes flickered. Sure enough, they were the descendants of the Vikings. To be precise, the Vikings were also descendants of the Germanic people, including the current Danes, Norwegians, Swedes, and Icelanders.
Nowadays, Germanic people are generally defined as Germans and Swiss and Austrians who belong to the German family.
But in the past, when the center of Europe was still in ancient Rome, the Germanic people were regarded as barbarians in the northern region. Later, when the center of Europe moved northward, they really entered the stage of history.
The Germanic people went to Scandinavia via Denmark, expelled the original nomadic Sami people, and became the current Nordic people. Most of them are actually descendants of the Old World Germanic people.
in,
Due to its geographical location in an isolated sea, Iceland has always been considered to retain pure Germanic ancestry. Of course, with such developed transportation, some "mixed blood" are inevitably mixed in, such as the Celts—that is, Great Britain people.
Returning to the chairman's box at Anfield, Yang Cheng heard Recosta's introduction, first confirmed his guess in his heart, and at the same time was a little surprised, why did he bring the CEO of Norwegian Air to the door?
Bjorn Joss has the unique arrogance of Viking pirates. Even in the face of Yang Cheng, whose wealth is several times that of his own, he has a strong style without restraint. He stretches out his big hand and shakes Yang Cheng. The bones hurt, but Yang Cheng knew that he didn't mean it. The descendants of these Germanic people, the stronger the handshake, the more respect they have for you.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Yang, may I call you Jason? Many years ago, I had a conversation with your father at a party in New York. Your father is an excellent entrepreneur, and I admire him very much." Bjorn Joe S said.
When Yang Cheng heard this, he was still an acquaintance, grinning and said, "Of course, my friends call me that. I didn't expect that there is such a fate between us. Please sit down and drink something? The purpose of coming to the stadium is to relax. You don't have to. Too formal~"
The latter sentence was addressed to the assistants behind the two of them. The two of them each brought a few entourages. Of course, Yang Cheng would not drive them out, anyway, the box was big enough.
Bjorn Joss ordered a scotch, and Recosta preferred the opulence of red wine.
Yang Cheng accompanied Bjorn to drink whiskey. The three of them had just sat down in the middle of the field. With the whistle of the referee, the game officially started.
The three of them were not in a hurry to get into the topic, but chatted about football. Bjorn couldn't hide his excitement and pointed at the players on the field, "I also often watch the Premier League. Although I don't have a good impression of the British, I have to I don’t admit it, but the Premier League is indeed the top football league in the world. Compared with other leagues, the intensity is more than one level stronger. If the Premier League teams are not too expensive, I would also like to buy one to play.”
Recosta laughed a few times and didn't answer, why did he answer? Could it be that he hates the British too?
Yang Cheng doesn't know much about Bjorn, but among the well-known companies in Norway, there is Norwegian Air. As the founder of Norwegian Air, he is not short of money, but the Premier League team is like those supercars. Some people who seem to be rich can't afford it.
At this time, the situation on the field changed suddenly. After the first few minutes of testing, the players of the Red Army could no longer bear the opportunity to perform in front of the big boss, and launched a crazy offensive. Under the organization of Coutinho, the midfielder pressed the whole line. , directly pressed Southampton within 30 meters of their own half to encircle and fight.
After attacking wildly for a few minutes, Yang Cheng jumped up from the sofa, even the wine glass was slammed to the ground, and the expensive alcohol was spilled on the handmade carpet, but he didn't feel bad at all, because the team scored a goal and the opening time was less than 10 minutes He got off to a fantastic start, and as the owner of the team, nothing makes him happier than scoring goals.
The striker Harry Kane scored the goal. After receiving a precise pass from Salah, he played all the qualities a center forward should have. Swinging his right leg was a volley, and the movement was done in one go. The ball was watched by the Southampton goalkeeper and entered the net. The score on the field became 1:0.
The atmosphere at Anfield climbed to the peak in an instant, 60,000 people cheered at the same time, no less than a small earthquake, but no one cared that the ground was trembling, the team scored a goal, and at this stall, no one could stop them from celebrating.
Yang Cheng ran out of the box and shouted in the outdoor auditorium. Fans in the front rows saw Yang Cheng and immediately sent screams and applause. This was a tribute to their generous club owner, who did not have a lot of money Devotion is absolutely not in exchange for the hope of the Red Army's rise.
Recosta and Bjorn Joss didn't care about being reserved, and rushed out of the box with Yang Cheng, shouting to the field, at this moment even if you are the king of a country, you can't escape the charm of football.
The game will continue, and the celebration cannot last forever, and everyone has a hunch that the next celebration will not be too late.
Yang Cheng waved his arms a few more times, then turned back to the box, and clapped hands with Ian Al. During the winter break last year, Harry Kane was called into the team. This deal was done right. Now He just hopes that Messi will come to Anfield as soon as possible, and he can't wait to see the prosperity of Liverpool at that time.
"Ian, no matter what method you use, you must let Messi's father agree to join Messi."
In the past two days, Ian Ayre personally flew to Barcelona to lobby Messi's people, including his father and wife, as well as close relatives and friends, all of whom were infected by Ian Ayre's "enthusiasm", except for Messi's wife Anton La and his father Jorge, his friends, were almost persuaded to promise to give Messi the "right" advice at the "right" time.
As for Antonella, I am also a little bit excited, because Ian Ayer proposed that as long as Messi goes to the UK, Liverpool will help Antonella open a brand shoe store in London, and even further develop to New York and Los Angeles.
But although she loves her career, she loves her husband even more deeply. Besides, with Macy's ability to absorb money, she is not short of money.
Compared with Antonella, Messi's father is more staid, with a very stubborn personality. He not only showed greed for the pound but also was very cautious. West suffered a major injury and is likely to bid farewell to football in advance. Is it worth it? Instead of taking risks, it is better to die in Barcelona. The money is a little less, but it has little impact on their family.
However, Ian Ayer understands it with reason and emotion, and hopes that Jorge can consider the future of his grandson. The education level in the UK is far better than that in Spain. With Messi's financial support, the future of the children should be broader. It should not be limited to the Latin world, English is the mainstream language in the world today!
Sure enough, these words shook Jorge's originally relatively firm heart. After training his son to become a talent, the biggest wish of the old-fashioned Jorge for the rest of his life is to let his grandson achieve greater greatness, Ian Al tickled his itch nicely.
