The air in Manchester is terrible!
Kevin Strowman walked out of his home in southern Manchester, raised his head, glanced at the gray sky, sighing in his mind.
At this moment, he didn't know what was going on, he thought of the blue sea and blue sky of Southampton.
There is also the fresh air that comes in front of you when you get up every morning and open the door.
Compared with an old industrial city like Manchester, Southampton is indeed too livable.
But what can be done?
As a professional player, he can only follow the club’s transfer arrangements, and Manchester City has offered him a generous salary.
With his outstanding performance at Manchester City this season, the team has begun to talk to him about a contract extension and salary increase.
Once the new contract is negotiated and returned to Southampton, I am afraid the Saints will not be able to tolerate him.
Unless, he is willing to cut his salary to join!
Thinking of this, Kevin Strowman couldn't help but shook his head and laughed, full of sorrow.
Recalling that two years ago, I was just a little-known little figure in the Dutch second division. Who would have thought that, two years later, he has become one of the most famous midfielders in European football?
All this depends on Southampton and on the Premier League!
Just yesterday, his team just finished the 38th round of the Premier League.
There is no hope of winning the championship, and there is no need to worry about losing the top four in the league, so Manchester City lost to Norwich 2-3 at home very neatly, and Stromman, who is in hot form recently, scored twice and swept Manchester City's Two goals.
Now, Manchester City has no games.
I am afraid that today, that is, to take a walk to the training base, the team will begin to disband!
Stromman thought to himself, bowed his head and walked towards the garage.
But just when he opened the garage door with the remote control and was about to walk in, he heard a car bang outside the door.
Then I heard someone outside, shouting at him, "Excuse me, is this Kevin Strowman?"
Stromman turned his head and found that it was an Englishman in his thirties, wearing the uniform of a courier company and holding a blue courier bag in his hand.
The meaning is very obvious, with its own express delivery!
"Yes!" Stroman quickly walked over, opened the door, and went out.
"The express mail last night, please sign for it!"
The courier pointed to one of the locations on the parcel and motioned to Strohman to sign.
Stromman took the pen readily, and signed his name.
"Uh, Mr. Stromman, can I trouble you with something?" the courier asked Stromman with a smile.
It seemed a little nervous, as if he was afraid of being rejected.
"Ok?"
"Our whole family are Manchester City fans!" As if afraid that Strowman would not believe it, the courier also specially opened the uniform opening to reveal the Manchester City sky blue jersey inside.
"My son likes you so much. His birthday is coming. Could you please take a photo with me and sign a name. I plan to give him a birthday gift?"
Stromman was taken aback, then smiled and nodded, "Of course, no problem!"
The courier was immediately overjoyed, hurriedly took out his mobile phone and walked to Stromman's side.
"It doesn't matter, you can get closer, just like a good friend!" Stromman encouraged with a smile.
The courier was immediately flattered and passed by, almost hugged Stromman, and then turned on the selfie mode.
"Uh, Mr. Stromman, can you trouble you any more than an eggplant gesture?"
"Eggplant?" Stroman smiled bitterly, but he still satisfied the good dad's wish.
A selfie is quickly completed.
Then the courier took out the signature book and handed it to Stromman.
The Dutchman picked up his pen and thought for a while, "By the way, may I ask, what is your son's name?"
"Billy! Billy Jones!"
"Oh!"
Stromman immediately wrote three lines of words on it.
"Billy, happy birthday to you! Kevin Strowman!"
The courier immediately picked him up like a treasure, thanked him, and he was very polite before leaving.
Stromman smiled and shook his head, turned and walked home.
While walking, I looked at the courier bag, which turned out to be from St Mary's Stadium in Southampton.
At this time, Stromman took it very seriously, and quickly opened the courier bag and found that there were two ball tickets inside, and a blank paper with a few lines written on it.
"Thank you for your contribution to Southampton, Kevin!"
"May 22 is a special day. I sincerely invite you to the St. Mary's Stadium and witness this legendary and great moment with us!"
"Thank you forever!"
"Yang Huan!"
I don't know why, after reading this letter, Kevin Strowman's eyes were wet.
Master Huan wrote to him?
And it seems to be handwritten, which shows sincerity!
He even knew that he had a new girlfriend, it was amazing!
All the things that used to be in Southampton instantly came to Kevin Strowman's heart.
Although he has left Southampton, it does not prevent him from going to St. Mary's Stadium in such a crucial battle to cheer for Southampton!
In the 38th round of the Premier League, Southampton defeated Sunderland 2-0 away.
The league leader Manchester United defeated West Bromwich Albion and continued to maintain their two-point advantage against Southampton.
But the situation has completely reversed!
Although Southampton missed two points, it missed one game.
In other words, as long as Southampton defeated Stoke City at home in the last match of the 37th round of the Premier League, it would be able to complete the reversal of Manchester United and take advantage of one point. Get the trophy of the Premier League!
This will be the first championship trophy in the top league in Southampton's 100-year history!
Therefore, Master Huan said in the letter that this is a legendary and great moment!
However, in this battle, Southampton's opponent is the difficult Stoke City team, are you sure?
But in any case, Stromman decided that he must go south to watch the battle!

"Ma Dexi, have you received the courier?"
Just walked into Chelsea’s Kearney training base, Adam Lallana ran into old teammate Benatia head-on.
The captain of the former saint rushed forward and asked with concern.
"Well, I got it!"
Benatia doesn't speak much, he belongs to the character who talks less and does more.
But this kind of personality suffers a lot, especially in Chelsea now. Benatia’s performance is sometimes good and bad, more because of his partner and his own injuries, but Benatia never Justify yourself.
This caused Chelsea to question him.
There are even rumors that Benítez will sell Benatia for cash after Mourinho takes over the Blues after his get out of class is over.
A large part of this is because of Benatia's character.
If he could speak more and justify himself, the situation would be different.
Adam Lallana felt sympathy for Benatia's situation in his heart, but said nothing on the surface.
"Then are you going to go?"
Benatia didn't think much, nodded and said: "Well, after the dissolution, we may live in London for a few more days, so..."
Adam Lallana understands.
"How about you?" the Moroccan star asked.
Adam Lallana chuckled, "I will definitely go. I heard that the seven-star undersea hotel of Young Master Huan is about to open. I plan to check it out and take a vacation."
The construction of the seven-star undersea hotel has been underway for three years. The cost is staggering, but it has also caused a huge response.
Especially in conjunction with the entire old city reconstruction project of Southampton, Southampton has completely become a shining pearl on the south coast of England, attracting the attention of countless people.
At least, this is one of the most liveable cities in England.
The old town used to be dilapidated and could not attract many people, but now it is different. As soon as the renovation project started, the seven-star undersea hotel project and the new stadium project in Southampton have all entered the final stage.
The two iconic buildings, as well as the vast reconstruction of the old city, are proving to everyone that Southampton will be turned into a new and rising tourist city with a livable seaport in the UK.
Faced with such a city, anyone with a little vision and a little money knows that they want to buy a house.
"Then do you think the team can be sure?"
Benatia asked worriedly.
Although the Stoke City team is currently ranked 13th, you must know that this team definitely has the strength of the top ten.
Tony Pulis is also a wonderful work in English football.
He obtained the English coaching license at the age of 19 and the European coaching license at the age of 21. He is considered one of the oldest coaches. Since then, he has been coaching in the low-level leagues and accumulated more than 20 years of rich coaching. experience.
He coached the Stoke City team twice from 2002 to 2005 and from 2006 to the present.
When he entered the palace for the second time, he took Stoke City from the relegation team of the English Championship to the Premier League and gained a firm foothold.
Tony Pulis is known as the coach who is best at organizing defense in English football, but the defense of any team he has coached is very strong.
While the entire Premier League is gradually pursuing the continentalization of tactics, and when teams such as Southampton, Arsenal, Swansea, Liverpool and other ball-handling and offensive football-style teams began to appear, Tony Pulis completely abandoned the ball-handling tactics.
What he is best at is defeating opponents with very little possession, and he believes in Capello's one-to-zero doctrine.
But this has a lot to do with his inability to train offense.
Just like this season's Stoke City team, the number of goals conceded is ranked seventh in the Premier League, but the number of goals scored is the bottom of the Premier League, only four more goals than the Queens Park Rangers who have been relegated early.
Therefore, Tony Pulis has the ability, and the advantages and disadvantages are equally obvious.
Good at defense, but not good at offense. Such a head coach can often only bend in the middle and lower reaches of the team. It is difficult to be valued by the middle and upper reaches of the team, because the top teams are more on offense.
At the very least, you have to balance offense and defense!
There is even news that Tony Pulis will dismiss get out of class after this season.
The Stoke City team, which has been firmly established in the Premier League for several consecutive seasons, has also begun to feel dissatisfied with its meritorious coach. The management hopes that the team can play more beautifully and more offensively.
There is no doubt that Tony Pulis is not good at this.
Therefore, the final battle against Southampton will undoubtedly be Tony Pulis's self-redemption battle.
After taking it down, even if he can't keep the Stoke City team's handsome position, at least he has shown his coaching ability to the world.
By that time, you are so famous, you are afraid that no team will come to you?
As for Southampton, it advocates offensive football and is known for its passionate and crazy offense.
This kind of team is often Tony Pulis best at dealing with it.
Because you defend it, the counterattack will be very deadly!
Therefore ~EbookFREE.me~ the outside world is also full of worries and suspense for this game.
After a season of battle, especially the hard pursuit of the last six months, Southampton finally caught up with Manchester United.
The gains and losses of the league championship are no longer controlled by Manchester United, but firmly in their own hands.
It depends on the saints up and down, whether they can hold it, hold it firmly!
Adam Lallana knows that the Stoke City team is difficult to deal with, but he appears confident.
"Never underestimate the Saints' desire for a league championship!"
The former Saint Captain looked at the blue sky in the distance, as if immersed in some very sacred and inviolable memory.
"We have been waiting for it for more than a hundred years!"
"This time, I must never pass by it again!" r1148
