Chapter eight hundred and ninety seventh match day two
History is full of inertia. After Yang Cheng became the team owner last season, he would offer huge and variable winning bonuses every time he went to watch a game. This also created a mindset in the team that bosses would get bonuses if they came.
Of course, everything must be based on victory.
The opponent in this game, Southampton, is not strong in the Premier League, but weak. Occasionally, they can stage a dark horse counterattack. However, for Liverpool, who are aiming for various championships this season, Southampton
Dayton cannot be a stumbling block, victory is a matter of course, otherwise Ian Ayre would not blatantly ask the big boss for money.
However, the money spent these days has been a bit fierce. Yang Cheng felt that he had to control it, but he couldn't offend his subordinates, so he had to pretend to be angry and said, "You have the nerve to ask me for a bonus when you hit Southampton? I don't
Will you stop playing football if you are given a bonus?"
Ian Ayre was dumbfounded. This routine was wrong. During the team's pre-match meeting in the afternoon, the players learned that the big boss would come to watch the game. They all started joking and guessed how much cash reward Yang Cheng would give out. Ian
Al also felt in his heart that Yang Cheng, who had always been generous, should not hesitate to reward him, but what was the situation now? He was scolded? The big boss was angry? He was a little panicked.
After hammering for a while to achieve his goal, Yang Cheng finally said, "You should focus on playing football. Forget it this time, follow the old rules. It's up to you how to allocate the 1 million pounds."
Ian Ayer quickly said yes, feeling guilty in his heart. Today was indeed a bad match, and it was not an important game. How could he ask for a bonus from his boss? Logically speaking, he should save money for his boss from his perspective.
Damn it! Misstep! Ian Ayer kept cursing himself in his heart.
The box was quiet for a while, although the thick glass wall could not stop the enthusiastic shouts of 60,000 Red Army fans.
Ten minutes before the start of the game, Ian Ayre answered the phone and left the awkward box, went out and brought in Recosta and his friends.
"Mr. Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing recently?" As soon as he entered the door, Recosta showed his gentlemanly style and greeted Yang Cheng cordially.
Following Recosta, there was a white man with blond hair, blue eyes and a strong build. His appearance seemed a bit Germanic, so he was probably not British. Yang Cheng's eyes passed over this white man and he guessed in his mind.
, but without a pause, he said to Recosta, "I'm living a good life, how are you? I heard that your affairs are going very smoothly?"
Recosta smiled and nodded, "Everything went well. By the way, let me introduce to you. This is a friend I just met, Norwegian Air co-founder and CEO Bjorn Jos."
Yang Cheng's eyes flashed, and sure enough, he turned out to be the descendants of the Vikings. To be precise, the Vikings were also descendants of a branch of the Germanic people, including the current Danes, Norwegians, Swedes, and Icelanders, who are all descendants of the Germanic people.
Nowadays, when talking about Germanic people, they are generally defined as Germans and Swiss and Austrians who also belong to the German-speaking family.
But in the past, when the center of Europe was still in ancient Rome, the Germans were regarded as barbarians in the northern region. Later, when the center of Europe moved northward, they really entered the stage of history.
The Germans traveled to Scandinavia via Denmark, expelling the original nomadic Sami people and becoming the modern Nordic people. Most of them are actually descendants of the Germans from the Old World.
Among them, Iceland has always been considered to have retained pure Germanic blood due to its geographical location of an isolated island in the sea. Of course, with such advanced transportation nowadays, it is inevitable that some "mixed blood" will be mixed in, such as the Celts, who are also the British people.
people.
The perspective returned to the chairman's box at Anfield. After hearing Recosta's introduction, Yang Cheng first confirmed his guess in his heart, but at the same time he was a little surprised. Why did he bring the CEO of Norwegian Air to the door?
Bjornjos carries the unique domineering spirit of a Viking pirate. Even when faced with Yang Cheng, whose net worth is several times his own, his strong style does not show any restraint. He reaches out his big hand to shake Yang Cheng's hand, and squeezes Yang Cheng's hand.
His bones ached, but Yang Cheng knew he didn't mean it. These descendants of Germanic people, the stronger they shake hands, the more the other party respects you.
"Nice to meet you Mr. Yang, can 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
Si said.
When Yang Cheng heard this, he was still an acquaintance and grinned and said, "Of course, my friends all call me that. I didn't expect that we would have such a fate. Please sit down, what would you like to drink? I came to the stadium just to relax. You don't have to
Too reserved~”
The latter sentence was said to the assistants behind the two of them. Each of them brought several entourages. Of course, Yang Cheng would not kick them out. The box was big enough anyway.
Bjornjos ordered a glass of scotch, while Recosta preferred the gorgeousness brought by red wine.
Yang Cheng accompanied Bjorn and drank whiskey together. The three of them had just sat down in the middle of the court. With the referee's whistle, the game officially started.
The three of them were not in a hurry to delve into the topic, but started chatting 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 say
I don’t admit it, but the Premier League is indeed the top football league in the world. The intensity is more than one level higher than other leagues. If the Premier League teams weren’t too expensive, I would also like to buy one to play with.”
Recosta laughed a few times and didn't answer. How should he answer? Could it be that he also hates the British?
Yang Cheng doesn't know Bjorn very well, but among the many well-known companies in Norway, Norwegian Air exists. As the founder of Norwegian Air, he is naturally 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 suddenly changed. After a few minutes of testing, the players of the Red Army could no longer resist the opportunity to perform in front of the big boss and launched a crazy offensive. Under the organization of Coutinho, the midfielders pressed forward across the board.
, directly pressed Southampton within 30 meters of their own half and surrounded them. The scene was just like a training match. One side was responsible for the offense and the other was responsible for the defense. No one could cross the line.
After a few minutes of furious attack, Yang Cheng suddenly jumped up from the sofa. Even the wine glass was slammed to the ground and the expensive alcohol was sprinkled on the handmade carpet, because the team scored a goal and it was less than 10 minutes into the game.
He got off to a fantastic start. As the owner of the team, nothing makes him happier than scoring goals.
The goal was scored by forward Harry Kane. After receiving Salah's precise pass, he displayed all the qualities a center should have. He leaned closely against the opponent's center back, stopped the ball with his chest and turned around.
He raised his right leg and fired a volley, all in one movement. The powerful ball was watched by the Southampton goalkeeper and entered the net, and the score became 1:0.
The atmosphere in Anfield reached its peak in an instant, with 60,000 people cheering at the same time, no less than a small earthquake. But no one cared that the ground was shaking. The team scored a goal. At this moment, no one could stop them from celebrating.
Yang Cheng ran out of the box and shouted in the outdoor auditorium. Fans in the first few rows spotted Yang Cheng and immediately screamed and applauded. This was a tribute to their generous club owner, who did not have a large amount of money.
Investment will never bring hope for the rise of the Red Army.
Recosta and Bjornjos did not care about their reserve. They rushed out of the box with Yang Cheng and shouted to the court. At this moment, even if you are the lofty leader of a country, you cannot escape the charm of football.
The game will continue, and the celebrations cannot go on 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 around and returned to the box, clapping hands with Ian Ayre to celebrate. Harry Kane was called into the team during the winter break last year. This deal was done right. Now
He just hopes that Messi will come to Anfield as soon as possible. He can't wait to see Liverpool in its heyday.
"Ian, I don't care what method you use, you must make Messi's father agree to join Messi."
In the past two days, Ian Ayre personally flew to Barcelona to lobby people around Messi, including his father, wife and close relatives and friends. They were all infected by Ian Ayre's "enthusiasm", except Messi's wife Antone.
La and his father Jorge, almost all of his friends were persuaded and promised to give Messi the "right" advice at the "appropriate" time.
As for Antonella, he was also a little moved, because Ian Ayre proposed that as long as Messi goes to England, Liverpool will help Antonella open a brand shoe store in London, and even further develop it to New York and Los Angeles.
But although she loves her career, she loves her husband even more deeply. Moreover, with Macy’s ability to attract money, she is not short of money. Opening a store is just to pass her spare time, so she did not agree directly, but just said that she would consider it.
Compared with Antonella, Messi's father is more old-fashioned and has a very stubborn personality. He shows both greed for the pound and very cautiousness. In the conversation with Ian Ayre, he expressed concerns about the fierce confrontation in the Premier League. Once Messi
Xi suffered a major injury and was very likely to bid farewell to football early. Is it worth it? Rather than risking it, it would be better to stay in Barcelona until the end of his life. The money will be less, but the impact on their family will not be big.
However, Ian El Xiao's reasoning moved him emotionally, and he hoped that Jorge would consider the future of his grandson. The education level in the UK is far better than that in Spain, and 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 made Jorge's relatively firm heart suddenly shaken. After raising his son to be a talented person, the old-fashioned Jorge's biggest wish for the rest of his life is to let his grandson achieve greater greatness. Ian
