Chapter 539 Don't take Chelsea as a local tyrant(1/2)
"Master Huan!"
"Hello, Mr. Huan!"
When Yang Huan pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in with big strides, everyone in the conference room immediately stood up.
All those who met here today were the core senior executives of Southampton.
Including Steptwood's head coach Bielsa, chief assistant coach Louis Borini, Ramon Madoni of the scouting department, Jorge Grifa, youth training consultant, Les Reed, the top leader of the youth training department, etc.
The St. Mary's Stadium executive office includes executive chairman Nikola Cotes, CEO Peter Kenyon, Chief Operating Officer Ron Gurley, and the head of other core departments of the office.
It also includes core executives in the medical and analytical department, such as Marcus Doo Satoy and Howard Hamilton, who are now crucial members of Southampton.
Judging from the staffing alone, Southampton is not inferior to any giant team in the European continent.
When Yang Huan walked into the conference room, she had a bright smile on her face and waved her hands to everyone who stood up, "Sit, sit, sit!"
I walked to the empty seat at the top and sat down directly.
After glanced at him and saw that everyone present had sat down, Young Master Huan smiled and spoke.
"Okay, let's start the meeting!"
At Yang Huan's order, as the host of the meeting, Nikola Cotes took the lead in speaking on the meeting agenda.
Immediately afterwards, Peter Kenyon introduced the club's operating conditions in the past month, and Louis Borini, the coaching staff, also introduced the team's game situation.
Originally, Bielsa was responsible for the competition, but everyone knew that Argentine madmen didn't like to talk much, and even Luis Bolini was usually responsible for the training in the locker room, so the report work was usually handed over to Bolini.
Overall, everything in Southampton is progressing smoothly and quite well.
Whether it is in the team operation or the game performance, Southampton is very satisfactory, even though it has caused quite a bit of controversy recently.
After listening to reports from all aspects, Yang Huan immediately raised his own questions.
"The team's performance has declined recently, Marcus, what do you think?"
Marcus Do Satoi was also prepared for a long time. "Master Huan, since December last year, we have actively cooperated with the coaching staff to adjust the players' training. The purpose is to hope that the team can compete in the second half in a better and better state. For this reason, we have also fully learned from the practices of many teams including Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and other teams over the past decade."
Yang Huan nodded, "Is that effective?"
"Well, of course!" Professor Satoy nodded confidently.
"The players need to be analyzed in detail, but the overall situation of the team is in our plan."
"Okay, very good!" Yang Huan nodded and praised.
One sentence is equivalent to affirming the achievements of Professor Satoi and his team.
There are many aspects involved, and you must have very professional knowledge to figure it out.
Yang Huan asked himself that he was not at this level, so he didn't want to understand in depth. He just wanted to know whether the team could handle it.
Since Bielsa has no problem as the head coach and Professor Satoi is so confident, there is definitely no problem.
"Marcelo!" Yang Huan looked at Bielsa, "Varane's situation has not been very good recently. What do you think?"
After being named, Bielsa nodded and said: "Yes, from the own goal that caused the team to be eliminated from the League Cup to the two goals that played against Manchester United, Varane's situation is indeed quite bad, but I believe he can overcome it."
Varane is recognized as the core player of the future Saints central defender within the team.
Almost perfect physical fitness, pretty good footwork skills, excellent overall view, and calm and mature personality have created Varane's undisputed prospects.
Even if it weren't for the own goal incident and frequent mistakes against Manchester United, Varane would have been awarded the title of world-class central defender by many fans and media.
However, the repeated mistakes in recent times have reminded everyone that he is only nineteen years old!
"What can the team do? Yang Huan asked again.
Bielsa thought for a while and shook her head, "This is a psychological problem. He needs to overcome it himself. I will talk to him more and arrange for him to take a few rests at the same time. I believe he can get out."
"What about renewing the contract?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.
"Renew the contract?" Bielsa was a little surprised.
"Yes, I think Varane has performed well this season and is very stable. He should start renewing his contract. This is the reward he deserves, and renewing his contract at this time is also our affirmation and encouragement to him!"
After hearing what Mr. Huan said, everyone present nodded without stopping.
This boss is so good, reliable!
The bosses of other teams are all players who make trouble through their agents to fight for a contract renewal.
But our boss is not. It’s because you perform well and it’s rare to ask you to renew your contract on your own initiative?
"That's all, Ron, go back and find someone to negotiate with his agent, and negotiate a contract renewal before the end of the season!"
After Yang Huan paused, he added, "Remember, he will be our core defense in the next ten years!"
This sentence is equivalent to establishing Varane's core position in Southampton.
How many players can be valued so much by Young Master Huan?
Neuer, Tony Cross, Ibrahimovic, who else?
It seems, it's gone!
"Master Huan, since you are going to renew your contract with Varane, how can you solve Gary Cahill's problem?" Ron Gurley also raised his own question.
So far this season, Gary Cahill has obviously lagged behind Varane and even Nastasic in the order of playing in the centre-back, which makes Gary Cahill very dissatisfied.
The main player of the British Empire, the central defender, can only sit on the bench in Southampton?
And, is it the bench among the bench?
So, during the winter break, Gary Cahill's agent began to contact the buyer.
It's true that this connection came out immediately.
Chelsea!
According to rumors from the Sun, Abramovich decided to invite Mourinho, who had just been dismissed from Real Madrid coach next season, to return to Stamford Bridge, while the Portuguese asked to introduce a central defender, and it is said that the first choice is Gary Cahill.
"Does Abramovich really want it?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.
Ron Gurley nodded, "Yes, Granovskiya called me personally and asked about Gary Cahill's transfer fee. It can be heard that they really want it, and they are said to have contact with the players."
Yang Huan refused to argue. With Varane quickly matured and becoming the backbone of the team's defense and Nastasic also grew rapidly, Gary Cahill was obviously not valued by Bielsa in Southampton, and the transfer was also transferred, and it was no big deal.
"Then tell Chelsea that our Southampton players are less than 20 million pounds, and they don't expect to buy them!"
"Twenty million?"
As soon as Yang Huan said this, everyone in the conference room was shocked.
Twenty million pounds?
Just kidding?
If Gary Cahill was worth this price last summer, it was a little bit possible, but now he has become a substitute. Who would be so stupid to spend 20 million pounds to buy someone else’s substitute?
"Master Huan, I'm afraid Abramovich is not so generous, right?" Ron Gurley said with a wry smile.
Yang Huan laughed, "Who said there was no? You don't know. We Abramovich had a lot of money. We bought Tony Cross with 60 million pounds without blinking. We even gave it to us directly. We bought Gary Cahill for 20 million. It's a small matter. If you offer too little, Chelsea will be unhappy and think you don't treat them as a rich man too much!"
Everyone knew the causes and consequences, and when they heard Young Master Huan say this, they burst into laughter.
If Abramovich heard it, Young Master Huan would make fun of him, and he might be so angry that he vomited three liters of blood.
"Also, tell Chelsea again, if you like to buy, buy it, and if you don't buy it, Gary Cahill is not short of interested buyers anyway!"
Just kidding, will the main national central defender of England still have no team interested?
It's just a matter of price? High or low!
Peter Kenyon felt that Master Huan seemed to be very nonsense, but in fact it made sense.
Gary Cahill is just not suitable for Southampton's tactical style transformation, which does not mean that he is not capable.
Let me ask, if the England international is not capable, can he become the main player of the national team? Can he partner with Terry?
Since you are capable, the best choice for Southampton is to transfer to foreign countries or mid- and lower-level teams, so that you will not strengthen your competitors.
If Chelsea forced it, you can, and you have to pay a higher transfer fee than others!
Otherwise, I'd just send it back to Bolton. Anyway, Gary Cahill wouldn't reject his old boss.
"I understand, Master Huan, we will get the talks!" Peter Kenyon's eyes flashed and he nodded in agreement.
Only then did Yang Huan smile at the bald man with admiration, talking to smart people was easy to save trouble.
"Okay, next one!"
With Young Master Huan's order, one topic after another began to be discussed in the conference room.
For example, the R&D department recently proposed a new training plan, including improving the team's dietary structure and adjusting the team's training programs, which are said to be able to improve and improve the physical fitness of players, including improving physical fitness and reducing injuries.
A very important part of the training program is related to Huang Wenying's traditional Chinese medicine massage group.
This undoubtedly aroused Yang Huan's great interest.
I have invested so much money every year, and now I have finally seen some results. How can I be unhappy?
Moreover, you can also promote traditional Chinese medicine by the way, killing two birds with one stone!
