When Yang Huan was at St Mary's Stadium in Southampton, pro? Witnessing Southampton's 3-0 win over European hegemon Bayern Munich with an aggregate score of 6-0, there were also countless fans stationed in front of the TV in China.

Although the Champions League game was played in midweek and was scheduled in the early hours of the morning, it still couldn't stop this group of fanatical fans.

What is it like to see a football team invested by a Chinese owner reach the Champions League final?

I believe that this question that was asked before the game on Zhihu will get thousands of answers!

In the living room of the Zhuang family in the capital, not only Zhuang Mingyang and his wife, but also Old Man Zhuang, Zhuang Ziqing, and even Zhuang Zicheng all went home specially to accompany their families to watch this key event.

When the referee's whistle blew, everyone in the living room was overjoyed.

"Alright, the game is finally over!"

The voice of He Wei, a TV commentator on Capital TV, came from the TV.

'Southampton miraculously reached the Champions League final, which was a surprise to everyone.

"Yes!" The famous CCTV commentator and former international player Xu Yang also praised it.

"The Saints have been underestimated in the past, performing well in the group stage and the round of 16 knockout rounds, everyone thought it was lucky to draw lots, but in the quarterfinals, they defeated Real Madrid, and in the semifinals of the semifinals, they killed Bayern Munich, which proved their strength very well!"

"I think this team is definitely going for the championship and has the quality to win the championship!"

"Haha!" He Wei laughed, "Indeed, many people who were saints before were empty names, but now they ...... If you paraphrase a popular phrase on the Internet, your face is swollen! ”

"Isn't it?" Xu Yang also smiled, "The strength of Southampton's team itself is not weak, if you look at the existing team lineup, this team is definitely ranked in the top five, coupled with the four-year integration of head coach Bielsa, it is definitely not surprising that this team has its current performance." ”

"Yes, the British Times also did a special feature before, in a questionnaire survey of fans, the biggest contributor to Southampton's outstanding performance is generally considered by fans to be management, then the manager, and then the players."

"Not bad!" Xu Yang also agreed, "In modern professional football, the role of management is quite huge, and there is a common saying in the football circle that the victory or defeat of a game is basically doomed the moment you walk into the field." ”

"In other words, the decisive factor is off the field!"

"Yes, that's critical!" Xu Yang nodded, "And from the past few years, Southampton's management seems to be very professional, and many of their decisions and actions have broken the fixed thinking of traditional professional football in the past." ”

"For example, they took the lead in using online press conferences, and now, four years later, other teams are starting to follow suit; And their so-called Saints fan club, whose membership fees alone are as high as 100 million pounds a year, and in the past year or two, there have been high calls for expansion. ”

He Wei hummed, "Yes, these have completely broken our understanding of traditional professional football in the past, but what surprised me the most was their new stadium. ”

"Well, that's right!"

"I have a friend who is engaged in real estate research, and he told me that Southampton's game has attracted considerable attention throughout Europe, because they have completely subverted a lot of traditional commercial real estate models."

He even told me that Southampton had only been launched for a short time, but it had already achieved considerable success, which directly led to the market value of football teams in some big cities in Europe, because the investment predators began to pay attention to this area!"

"Haha, that's right, that's why I said that Southampton has always been subverting the way we used to think about traditional football."

As a former international player, Xu Yang has personally experienced professional football and has a deeper understanding.

"Football, especially professional football in Europe, we used to think that it was already very developed, but Southampton once again broke this impression on us, it told the world with facts, wrong, it is still very, very backward, it still has a lot of potential that has not been tapped."

"You see, his new stadium includes artificial islands, and the total investment is said to be as high as 500 million pounds, but now the income from the new stadium in a year is conservatively estimated to be more than 300 million pounds, and the return on investment in two years is too shrewd!"

He Wei smiled again and nodded admiringly, "But only Southampton can have fun." ”

"Yes, I heard that the Saints held a sponsor conference, which is said to integrate sponsors, and then will continue to integrate partners, which means that the Saints are dominating in this business feast, and it is being transformed into a business cooperation platform, which is where everyone is optimistic about this team!"

"That's right!" He Wei's analysis of Xu Yang also feels very reasonable.

At this time, the camera shifted from the players who were reveling on the St. Mary's pitch to the stands.

Red, full of fans in red and white quiver shirts, there were too many of them.

"This is St. Mary's Stadium, more than 30,000 people, full of seats, the atmosphere is very fanatical!"

The camera moved and ended up in the chairman's stand.

"This is the management of Bayern Munich, we see Rummenigge, this is the ......"

Xu Yang hurriedly picked up on the side, "Herbert Heiner, the acting chairman of Bayern Munich, is also the chairman of Adidas. ”

"That's right! In addition, we also saw that the management of Southampton also came to greet the senior management of Bayern Munich, this is the bald man, known as the strongest professional manager in Europe, Peter Kenyon, next to Ron Gulley. ”

"Both of them are the hottest professional managers in Europe right now, one is the CEO of the Saints, the other is the chief operating officer, and the one who came over next to him, oh my God, look, Yang Huan!"

"Isn't it? It is indeed Yang Huan, I heard that he will appear in the stands every game, so young! ”

"Yes, what impressed me the most about him was the wedding of the century, even Prince William of England drove a wedding car for him, you say, how good this must be!"

"Well, I have a friend in the UK, and he told me that Yang Huan is now very open in British society, and has almost become the favorite topic of discussion in British high society, and his every move is also very attention-grabbing."

"Yes, Southampton has just announced the operation mode of the new stadium, and Tottenham Hotspur has immediately followed suit, announcing that it will follow the model of Southampton in north London, and it was sprayed as plagiarism, haha......"

"Actually, there should be no plagiarism, I heard that Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton are strategic alliances, the relationship between the two clubs is very good, and one is in North London, the other is in Southampton, the two teams are one south and one north, just sandwiched Arsenal and Chelsea in the middle, hehe......"

"Teacher Xu, you say, what will Yang Huan say when he sees Rummenigge?"

"Well, maybe they're talking about player transfers!"

"yes, I've heard that a lot of transfers are negotiated in this situation."

"Well, however, Bayern Munich's players, I'm afraid it's difficult to be favored by Southampton, to put it mildly, the current Saints three lines, players in each position, even if not stronger than Bayern Munich, but at least not weak."

"Is it Bayern Munich poaching Southampton players?"

"Well, there's a possibility!"

……

Capital TV was very generous this time, extending the live broadcast by a few minutes, allowing all fans to witness Southampton's post-match celebrations.

Among them, the most interesting is undoubtedly after the game, the Saints players, including the players on the bench, under the leadership of captain Neuer, bowed to the fans in the stands on all sides one after another to thank them.

It's all part of Southampton's after-game routine.

The fans are God!

Southampton doesn't just talk the talk, it does it!

"My brother-in-law is too good, he killed Real Madrid first, and now he has killed Bayern Munich, and the Champions League championship is already secure!" Zhuang Zicheng was more out-of-tant, and cheered excitedly.

He is also a die-hard fan, and recently fell in love with Southampton because of Yang Huan's relationship.

This time, seeing Southampton reach the Champions League final, he was also excited.

On the contrary, it was his father Zhuang Mingyang, who asked very strangely: "Isn't this just the final?" Is it guaranteed to win the championship? ”

When Zhuang Zicheng heard this, his smile suddenly froze, and his face was full of contempt.

He looked around again and made sure that there were no outsiders, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

If this problem is known to outsiders, then he will be embarrassed.

A hardcore senior fan, there is a dad who can't even recognize the team?

"Dad, another team that reaches the Champions League final, it will be Atletico Madrid." Zhuang Ziqing glared at his younger brother, blaming him for not being big or small, and he was not serious about his father.

"Atletico Madrid?" Zhuang Mingyang still didn't figure it out.

Madrid, he knows, Athletic, he knows, but Atletico Madrid......

"It's the Spanish team that Ah Huan bought from the Qian family!"

"What?" Zhuang Mingyang was a little surprised, "Is that the Spanish team that claimed to have almost bankrupted the Qian pit?" ”

No wonder he was surprised, because it was unbelievable!

When Qian bought Atletico Madrid, he simply fell into a huge trap.

But how long has it been? In a year or two, in the hands of Yang Huan, this team has taken on a new look, not only is it full of strength, but it also reached the Champions League final in one go, isn't it too shocking?

"Yes, that's the one!" Zhuang Ziqing nodded proudly.

Yang Huan's glory is also hers!

"Dad, this is called turning decay into magic, and this is how powerful my brother-in-law is!"

Zhuang Mingyang really can't understand it, but he doesn't doubt it, after all, his baby son-in-law is surprised by everything, and there are not many more of them.

However, the two teams participating in the Champions League final are their own, and it is enjoyable to think about it!

It's just that I don't know if Yang Huan will be entangled in his heart, which team should he support in the finals at that time?

Southampton is a team that has been painstakingly managed for many years and carefully cultivated.

But the problem is, Atletico Madrid is not bad either.

Not to mention the strength of the Sheets in recent years, the lineup of Atletico Madrid, plus a Simeone, is not far behind compared to Southampton.

Besides, in terms of squad and business potential, Atletico Madrid may not lose to Southampton.

In this case, both teams are pro-sons, but the left hand or the right hand is indeed a very tangled thing.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, this kind of happy trouble, it's a headache, that's also Yang Huan's business.

As for those of us who are on the sidelines, just watch the show!

"Actually, Dad, let me tell you, this is just the tip of the iceberg." Zhuang Zicheng said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Zhuang Mingyang frowned, looking at his son a little unangry.

That look seemed to say, if you kid dare to play tricks again, believe it or not, I'll beat you?

Zhuang Zicheng suddenly didn't dare to say more, "I also only found out not long ago, it turns out that my brother-in-law started to secretly invest in Bitcoin four years ago." ”

"Bitcoin?" It's a fresh name, but it's not unusual, because it's been so popular for a while, isn't it?

"Yes, and dare I say he's the most Bitcoin holder in the world, but what? Last year, when Bitcoin rose to its highest price, he secretly sold it all, and I don't know how much he earned, but at least, I estimate it to be billions of dollars. ”

"Billions of dollars?" Not only Zhuang Mingyang, but even the old man Zhuang who originally bowed his head as if he was asleep raised his head.

"Yes, Bitcoin was almost worthless at the beginning, so this money was almost earned for nothing."

Zhuang Mingyang was a little surprised and looked at Zhuang Ziqing, who was also very surprised, obviously not knowing that there was such a thing.

"What did he do with such a large sum of money?"

"Acquisition!"

"Acquisition?"

Zhuang Zicheng nodded and smiled, with indescribable admiration in his expression, "Yes, he has recently eaten more than a dozen small companies with strong technology and R&D capabilities in Germany, France and other European countries in one go. ”

When Old Man Zhuang heard this, he and Zhuang Mingyang glanced at each other, and they all showed expressions of appreciation.

Money, it's a good thing, but it's not very useful.

In an era when money was being printed all over the world, there was no need to keep money at all.

On the contrary, technology, especially the world's leading technology, is too important, too critical.

This kid is still smart!

What a beautiful hand!
