When Fabregas was accompanied by head coach Bielsa and executive chairman Nila Cotes, Yang Huan sat behind the scene while being questioned by reporters and media on the spot.

When the Independent reporter attacked Fabregas and asked why he chose Southampton instead of returning to Arsenal, Fabregas's answer made Yang Huan feel uncomfortable.

Although Southampton is in the limelight now, there is still a gap compared to the real giants.

The most obvious thing is that Southampton does not have its own Fabregas!

Perhaps, following the current path of Southampton, continue to move forward. After a few years of accumulation, the Saints will slowly accumulate the foundation of the giants, but at least it is not possible yet.

As for the issue of the Independent News reporter just now, Yang Huan can only be a joke.

People say that Arsenal fans are somewhat idealistic, which is not wrong.

If, according to Simon Hughes's point of view, even if Fabregas can't play the ball and is sluggish, he might as well not have any salary or something. Anyway, he just needs to return to Arsenal.

Why?

There is nothing else, this is called loyalty!

This is worthy of Arsenal, isn't it?

But everyone knows that this idea is simply nonsense, and it is even more than just nonsense!

The reason why professional football is professional football is because playing football is a profession for players.

Changing a club is like changing jobs.

Fabregas jumped from Arsenal to Barcelona, ​​just like he was from a well-known local company in the UK to the top 500 in Spain. As a result, he was unhappy in the top 500 in the world and wanted to return to the UK to find a job.

Who has the rules? You must go back to the original company?

The original company never thought about asking for it, but you still have to ask others to go. If you don’t go, you mean you are disloyal and have moral problems?

Only those who say this kind of words and think this way really have problems!

However, Fabregas's answer just now also made Yang Huan have many ideas.

Among them, the most important point is how to provide enough protection to players, which is very important.

It’s like a company that not only has five insurances and one fund, it also provides you with additional protection, such as placement, such as life help, or helping your children find a school, etc.

"Peter, Ron, we have a wealth of finances now, and we must keep up with the player protection next. We are not only providing players with the best in the world at the Glory Stadium and Steptwood, but also providing players with as much help and service as possible outside the scope of the club."

"Only in this way can they have a sense of belonging, affection, and feel at ease. They will do their best to win the game on the court. Do you understand what I mean?"

Both Peter Kenyon and Ron Gurley nodded together.

Young Master Huan’s meaning is very clear, and they all understand it.

Many welfare measures for serving employees are already quite common in large companies, but they are still rare or even non-existent in the football circle, because in the eyes of the club, this is equivalent to an additional increase in their own operating costs for no reason.

Don't think it's just a joke. Almost all football clubs, even those big teams, still live in an era when they make money while lying down, because they are unique!

But in the near future, under the erosion of the capital wave, these teams that are trying to make money, and even some wealthy families, may not be able to hold on and be eliminated, which is very normal.

Just like Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Hamburg, Ajax and other teams that were once glorious were eventually eliminated by professional football.

If you can't keep pace with the times, it's only a matter of time before you get eliminated!

While Yang Huan was thinking about the problem, the press conference outside continued.

This press conference attracted more than one million people's attention and live broadcasts on the Internet, which was quite shocking, and it could even be said to be a grand event in the Internet sports circle.

Southampton has accumulated rich experience in this area and has done a good job in fan interaction.

During the entire press conference, fans on the Internet were also able to actively participate in it and ask questions.

For example, a Saints fan asked Bielsa a question: Modric, who is about to be sold, and Fabregas introduced, who is better?

This is also a typical thinking and problem for Internet fans.

So, when this question appeared on the big screen in the press conference hall, there was almost a burst of laughter.

Many reporters even made a fuss, waiting to see how Bielsa answered this sharp question.

You know, Modric has not officially left the team, and Fabregas is sitting aside. How do you answer?

But after Bielsa looked at the question seriously, he answered it seriously.

"These are two players of different styles." This is his first sentence at the beginning.

"If we look at the game ability, the two are almost equal and they are both very outstanding midfielders, but Seske's skills are more delicate, vertical passes are more threatening, and forward attack and scoring skills are also quite excellent. These are the things that he is better than Luca."

"But Luca's ability to carry the ball, his ability to get rid of the ball, as well as his running and tenacious defense in the game, are better than Seske. This is a very valuable and excellent feature of a midfielder in modern football tactics."

"No player is perfect, and they are at the top in all aspects. They will have their own strengths and weaknesses. So I think there is no stronger statement from Modric and Fabregas. As long as they are given a tactical environment that suits them, they are all the best world-class midfielders."

Many reporters present fell down one after another. Is this too stern?

However, it seems that this is a kind of Tai Chi practice.

But soon, the next question was the reporter on the scene, and someone asked another question immediately, but this time it was Fabregas, "How do you evaluate what Bielsa said just now?"

If it was a little obscure before, then this time it would be a very straightforward way to provoke and disagree.

Fabregas was very clear about the tricks of the media reporter and said with a smile: "Marcelo told me these words before, and I am also very clear about his requirements and expectations for me. I believe that in Southampton, I can find the strongest Fabregas."

He almost said it in person. I have figured out all the little thoughts of you guys. Don’t show off your skills anymore!

And the next problem is also difficult to deal with.

A Saints fan asked a question online, that is, in Barcelona, ​​Fabregas plays forward, but Southampton introduced him as a midfielder, so the fans asked, what do Fabregas prefer to score goals and assists?

Fabregas also responded calmly to this issue and said that he prefers assists.

"I have played a forward for a long time. I am cruising near the opponent's penalty area. I have to face the opponent's defense directly. Although I have scored a lot of goals, I still find that I prefer to drag behind. I enjoy assists. Watching my passes and helping my teammates score goals is a very happy thing."

Yang Huan was very satisfied with Fabregas's answer in the background and was very conscious of the general situation.

"He is still so mature and calm!" Peter Kenyon said with a smile.

When he was at Manchester United, he almost introduced the 16-year-old Fabregas.

When he was at Chelsea, he also wanted to introduce Fabregas, who was in his early twenties.

Therefore, he is quite familiar with the Spanish midfielder.

Yang Huan kept nodding. Precocious puberty was something that Fabregas had been talked about for many years.

Otherwise, could he play for Arsenal at the age of sixteen?

Can you squeeze Vieira out early, take the center of the midfield, and carry Arsenal's captain's armband?

Theoretically speaking, Bielsa's words just now were not wrong.

Fabregas and Modric are the same midfielder, and in terms of game ability, it is difficult for both sides to distinguish.

To a certain extent, Fabregas's advantages are exactly Modric's shortcomings, and the advantages of Croatian midfielder are exactly Fabregas' shortcomings.

But both of these players have a weakness, and even Fabregas is unable to gain a foothold in Barcelona's midfield because of this, that is, the ability to build offensive and defensive order.

Football matches are very complex and full of unpredictable changes.

But in fact, there is a type of player with a nearly predictable ability.

Or it should be said that they can use every run, every pass, every reception, slowly, step by step to figure out the offense and defense ideas, steadily control the rhythm of the game, and build the team's offense and defense one by one.

In modern football tactics, offense and defense are already inseparable and integrated.

This has higher requirements for players who control the team's offensive and defensive order, both in terms of technology and awareness.

Therefore, Pirlo's front and rear midfielder is known as one of the greatest changes in football tactics in the past decade.

Because he has this ability!

This is true for Harvey, and so is Harvey Alonso.

So who is the next one?

Busquets?

No, the closest one is Tony Cross!

This is a midfield commander-level player and the core of Southampton's offense and defense.

Although he is often not as outstanding as Modric, Vidal, or James Rodriguez, it is precisely his seemingly monotonous and unimaginatively stable pass, silently building Southampton's offensive and defensive order.

It's like this glory stadium in Southampton.

When everyone mentions architects, they only think of Norman Foster.

Who knows Huang Ying?

Who knows the unknown architects of Foster Architects?

Whether it is Fabregas or Modric, they lack the ability to build offensive and defensive order by Tony Cross.

This is also why Fabregas was not only unable to replace Xavi in ​​Barcelona, ​​but was even forced to push his position forward.

Yang Huan suddenly realized a very interesting question, that is, almost everyone felt that Southampton introduced Fabregas to replace Modric.

But in fact, this is really the case?

One of the important reasons why Southampton scored a lot of goals last season is that Tony Kroos, who is good at building offensive and defensive order, and Modric, who is good at getting rid of and pushing with the ball, is good at last pass and outstanding footwork in the penalty area, and has made very impressive assist data.
