"Snapped!"

In a bar called Saint Harry not far from St. Mary’s Stadium, the bar owner Harry, who has a bad scarlet wine nose, slammed his beer bottle to the ground, frightening the bar that was so noisy and quiet. Down.

　　 "You guys are talking bullshit!"

Harry is fat, typically over-alcoholic. He drank a lot tonight. He walked wobbly, but climbed up to the bar counter and pointed at all the people in the bar. They were basically Old customers at the bar.

　　 "What is excess? What is arrogance? What is arrogance?"

　　 When Harry screamed, his mouth was full of saliva and stars sprayed everywhere.

　　 "We have endured long enough, I **** had enough!"

　　 All the diehard Saints fans present were silent.

Just now, they are still expressing their opinions on a series of remarks made by the new boss. Most people think that the new boss is a bit arrogant. After all, it is a League One team, but threatened to challenge all the giants. Offend many people.

"I was a fan who joined the club in 1978. That year, the team was promoted from the second tier to the first tier. Since then, in decades, we have never been downgraded until 2020. In 2005, we were relegated from the Premier League. What was our slogan at the time?"

"We returned to the Premier League the following year, but every year since then, we have repeatedly shouted to attack the Premier League, but in 2009, we were relegated again in disgrace from the second level of the Premier League. why?"

　　 Faced with Harry's spitting voice, everyone present was silent.

"Humble, reserved, restrained... what can these bring us? Our imperfections, our humility, what can we bring? Walcott, Gareth Bale, we look at our outstanding players, Leave our team one by one, do we have a way?"

　　 When he said this, two lines of muddy tears fell from Harry's red eyes.

The feelings of more than 30 years, the faith from childhood to adulthood, Southampton seems to be his life. He hopes that he can be a saint for a lifetime, and that his children and grandchildren can continue to be a devout saint. .

　　 But now young people like Manchester United, Chelsea, and Manchester City. Who knows you Southampton?

"In 2009, the team encountered a financial crisis. Our club management was incompetent. The team went bankrupt and was managed by government agencies. Matthew Le Tissier, our God, he was everywhere in this city. Run and call on more Southampton fans to donate to help the team tide over the difficulties, but the result?"

　　 "Five hundred thousand pounds, we only took out five hundred thousand pounds!"

　　 "What does this mean? This means that Southampton is worth only half a million in all of us!"

"But people, the Chinese you are accusing and criticizing, he did not hesitate to invest 15 million yuan. He wants to invest 30 million yuan in the team’s training base. He has already spent more than Ten million, what qualifications do you have to blame and criticize others?"

　　 "Is he wrong? Isn't he right? Why should we be afraid of those Premier League teams? We are one person less than them? Or are we weaker than them? We are inherently worse than them?"

　　 The whole bar was silent, everyone was silent and speechless.

"You will never forget how those **** Portsmouth people humiliated us. When we were relegated from the Premier League but they were upgraded from the Premier League, they humiliated and ridiculed us unscrupulously. But we are powerless to let them humiliate and sarcasm, that is a shame to all Southamptonians!"

Portsmouth is also on the south coast of the United Kingdom, a small city that has developed rapidly in recent years, and Brighton further east. Both of these emerging cities have replaced Southampton and become the banner city on the south coast. aims.

　　This has also led to a very strong atmosphere of rivals between the three cities, especially Southampton and Portsmouth, which are almost a replica of Manchester and Liverpool on the South Coast.

　　 It is said that when the train from Southampton to London was opened, the nearby Portsmouth people would rather take a longer route than take the train to Southampton. This tradition has not changed even now.

However, in recent years, Southampton has been incorporated into the London Economic Circle and has become a livable city. More and more Londoners choose to work in London during the day and live in Southampton at night. This has led to the rapid development of the surrounding area of ​​Southampton. It has become a seaport metropolis, but Portsmouth has not changed much, it still looks like a small port.

In the eyes of the Portsmouth people, the only thing they can compare to Southampton is that their team's performance in recent years is much better than Southampton, even if they have dropped from the Premier League to the Premier League in the new season. .

　　 is still one level higher than Southampton, isn't it?

　　 "Peter, what do you think?" Harry suddenly pointed to a middle-aged man in his 50s in the bar.

His name is Peter, nicknamed Saint Peter. He is the goalkeeper of the team at Stapleswood, but he is a person respected by all Saints fans because he gave up working as an engineer in London twenty years ago. Choosing to return to Southampton to work as an ordinary janitor for his job, and to do it for 20 years.

　　 The position of door guard is very low and insignificant, but he can understand many inside stories that fans outside cannot understand. Peter is highly educated and has his own independent thinking and judgment ability, so he is very important among Saints fans.

"The new boss is very young, only twenty years old, and a bit silly, but I can see that he has a very firm heart in running Southampton. I heard someone say that he was in Stapleswood yesterday afternoon, and he immediately made a decision. The budget for the new training base has been increased from 30 million pounds to 50 million pounds, and it is required to be completed within two years."

　　 "Wow!" Everyone present was in an uproar.

　　 The 30 million pounds before is already a big deal, and now another 20 million pounds is invested?

"Not only that, the team has been reporting on new players in the last two days. I have also seen them play. They are very capable and very young. I heard Martin Hunter say that Bielsa is very positive about these new players. The players are very satisfied, the price is not high, but the strength is outstanding."

　　 "According to Martin Hunter's assessment, no surprises, there is no problem upgrading in the new season."

　　 Upgrade, this word is too tempting for fans of Southampton!

　　 "And Martin Hunter also said that the team is still continuing to sign in. I heard that at least two top stars will be introduced."

　　 "Two big-name players? Is it true?"

　　 "Really introducing two big-name stars?"

　　 "Who? Peter, have you heard of who it is?"

　　 As soon as Peter's voice fell, the bar suddenly became noisy again, and everyone rushed to ask.

　　 "I don't know who it is. This is the club's operation. It's confidential. I definitely don't know it. However, I heard that the progress is okay, but it has not been finalized. After all, we are the League One team."

　　 Everyone agrees with Peter's words. The League One teams do not have much appeal to top stars.

　　 However, from the club's daring to run top stars, it is not difficult to see the team's ambitions.

　　 "My mother, I've had enough!" I don't know who it was, and he smashed the beer bottle in his hand on the ground.

　　 "Even the new owner, who was not a fan of Saints, has such ambitions. Is it possible that we are die-hard fans of the Saints, but not as good as him? Then what right do we have to say that we are die-hard saints?"

　　 "Yes, fucking, the new boss has done this, what we fans didn't say, one word, support to the end!"

　　 "Yes, support to the end!"

　　 "Maybe we have no money, but we must support the team!"

　　 "Support Southampton, support the new boss!"

　　 Saint Harry was standing on the bar. Hearing the turmoil in the crowd below, he shouted loudly, "Everyone is quiet, everyone is quiet, listen to me!"

　　 Everyone fell silent, looking at this fat rosacea.

"In the past, we in Southampton never had a rigorous fan organization. Now we have a new owner. We want to form a brand new team and build a brand new club. Then we have to have a decent fan organization. So, tomorrow I’m going to apply to the team to create an official fan organization called Saint Harry!"

　　 "Okay, Saint Harry!"

　　 "This name is good, count me!"

　　 "Count me too!"

　　 "My whole family will join!"

　　 "We and the whole family will join us!"

　　 The following group of people suddenly enthusiastically supported it.

"Harry, we'd better create a website to attract more fans, as well as those young fans. Now many of Southampton’s diehards are old fans. We should actively attract more young fans to join. They are this. This city, the future of this team." Peter proposed below.

　　 Harry nodded vigorously, "Okay, just do it, we will start preparing tomorrow!"

"it is good!"

"Great!"

　　 "We need to organize more activities, and watch every game, so that the guys who look down on us in Southampton will look at the power of our saints!"

　　 "Yes, scare them to death!"

In the midst of the crowd, the former legendary star of Southampton, Matthew Le Tissier, is always sitting in an inconspicuous corner, watching all this silently, he feels that Southampton fans have passed by for many years. The enthusiasm for football is rapidly emerging.

　　 This city has had a football passion that has not been felt for too long!

　　 In the past few years, the economy of this city has been developing, but it is always regrettable.

　　 That's because there is no football.

　　 In the UK, a city without football always has a bit of regret.

　　 Suddenly, Matthew Le Tissier understood the intention of the new boss of the team. He is encouraging more and more people to find football passion. He is trying to make football the faith of this harbor city again.

　　 His seemingly arrogant remarks actually spoke out the voice of the Saints fans and inspired their enthusiasm.

　　Who doesn't think your team is the strongest?

　　Who wants to admit that his team is inferior to others?

　　 "Perhaps, he can really lead Southampton to a revival!"

　　 Matthew Le Tissier still underestimated Yang Huan's ambitions, because the most peak moment in Southampton's 100-year history was an FA Cup champion in 1976.

　　 That is also the only championship trophy in Southampton's history for a top domestic event.

　　 For Yang Huan, an FA Cup champion, this goal is too small.

　　 Just as Matthew Le Tissier walked out of the Saint Harry’s bar and was walking on the way home, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

　　 An unfamiliar caller ID.

After 　　 was connected, the person on the phone said directly.

　　 "Hello, Mr. Matthew Le Tissier, this is Yang Huan!"
