Chapter 33: Southampton from the stars

   China’s capital fourth ring road, Shunjing Hot Spring Hotel.

   Ibrahimović pushed open the door of the luxurious ambassador suite and walked in with a look of fatigue.

   Behind him, the door closed automatically with a bang.

   The tall and sturdy Swede walked towards the living room, took off his shirt while walking, showing a strong muscle, sat down on the soft cloth sofa, and grabbed the TV remote control on the mahogany coffee table.

   One click, the whole room was filled with a voice that he could not understand at all, Chinese.

   chose the channels at random, he didn't know what he wanted to watch, because he didn't understand every channel.

   Lying on the sofa, listening to the language he didn't understand, watching the actors on TV, he didn't understand what he was talking about.

   But he is still driving, because it is a little lively.

   Since he and Guardiola fell out on the spot six months ago, he feels that he is more and more isolated in Barcelona. He doesn't even have a speaker, and he always looks like a lone ranger.

It’s as if Barcelona’s China trip was arranging a hotel room. All teammates formed a team. In the end, only Ibrahimovic took the place. In order to avoid media speculation, Barcelona arranged a room for him. Special treatment like coach Guardiola, luxurious ambassador suite.

   On the surface, this is a special treatment for the Swedish center, but in fact, everyone knows that it is because no one wants to live in the same room with him. This shows how embarrassing his current position in Barcelona is.

On the first day of the training camp for the new season, Ibrahimović looked down and took the initiative to approach Guardiola and talked to him about the situation in the new season. Because of the current feelings of Ibrahimovic in the transfer market. There are very few interested teams, and the Swede said in a low voice that he is willing to stay in Barcelona and actively cooperate with Guardiola.

   He even promised that he would do his best to cooperate with Messi, including actively participating in defense.

   But Guardiola only had one sentence from beginning to end.

   "How do we continue?"

   He said this sentence four times in total. By the fourth time, Ibrahimovic finally couldn't help it, so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, he slammed the door angrily and left Guardiola's office.

   Then, Barcelona announced the introduction of David Villa, which almost blocked the hope left by Ibrahimovic.

   The Swedish center himself made up his mind to leave the team. He didn't want to stay in Barcelona for even one minute.

If you can.

   But things backfired. Many things are not something you can do if you want.

   Barcelona chairman Russell told him very clearly that he could go anywhere except Madrid.

   Because of the grudge with Mancini, Ibrahimovic blocked the possibility of going to Manchester City.

   The only remaining top league team is AC Milan.

Galliani is an old fox in transfer negotiations. He keeps talking outside, but he has repeatedly reiterated that the possibility of introducing Ibrahimovic is only 50%. The reason is Ibrahim. Morovich's salary is too high.

   An annual salary of 9 million euros, AC Milan hopes to talk about 5 million euros, and in terms of transfer fees, AC Milan will certainly not be able to give Barcelona the 40 million euros they want. They have no money at all.

   Therefore, this transfer can only continue to drag.

No one knows when    is dragged.

   This kind of life is a torment for Ibrahimovic.

   got up from the cloth sofa, the TV was not off, and stepped on the mahogany stairs to the attic.

   This is the privilege of the Deluxe Ambassador Suite, the room is in the attic.

   entered the room, lay down on the bed, turned on the laptop beside the bed, and several messages popped up as soon as he connected to the Internet.

   Ibrahimović clicked on one of the news items, with the headline: The saint's new master is arrogant and narcissistic, drowning in the saliva of netizens.

   clicked in and found that it was a report about Saint Southampton.

In an exclusive interview with a reporter from the Southern Echo, the club’s chairman Yang Huan said that he firmly believes that his team is the strongest team. At the same time, he is also ambitious to introduce the best scorers in the world, and in the shortest possible time. Southampton has become the strongest new football force in Britain and even Europe.

   Some of his words were ridiculed and mocked by the media and netizens.

For example, Yang Huan said that Southampton can play against such giants as Manchester United and Chelsea. This is ridiculed by many fans and the media as arrogance. A League One team is delusional to challenge the traditional power. This is not arrogance. what?

   Ibrahimovic looked at it, but felt strange in his heart. Did Yang Huan make a mistake?

   Does he have to say that we are a League One team, we are inherently inferior to Manchester United and Chelsea, inferior to those Premier League teams?

   Is it necessary to be humbled and kneeled on the ground, seeking the approval and sympathy of the general public to survive? Is it humble?

   In Ibrahimovic's opinion, whether you are humble depends on your heart, not what you say or do.

Another thing that has been criticized is that Yang Huan’s words to introduce the world’s best scorer were immediately spread on the Internet, especially on Weibo. Aite came to Aite one by one, and many Aite arrived. Ibrahimovic's Weibo.

   "Messi, Messi, I heard that you are going to Southampton, really?" This is Gerard Pick’s Weibo.

   "What? Messi, you are going to the legendary Southampton, are you crazy? Is that the team you can go to?" This is Puyol's Weibo.

   "Oh my God, Messi, you have the opportunity to go to the legendary Southampton? So happy!" This is an unknown man.

"(An emoji with a raised hand) Excuse me, which national league team is Southampton? I searched through the league tables in Europe, but I didn’t see this team? Is he from the stars? Cosmos team?" I don't know who is selling cute tricks.

   "Haha, if you go to the English League and flip down, you can find Southampton in the second floor parking lot in the basement of the Premier League!" Gerard Pique replied again with an expression of no thanks.

   "Oh, can they play the Champions League?"

   "No!"

   "Europa League?"

"also can not!"

   "The Premier League is always okay, right?"

   "I'm sorry, it still doesn't work."

   "Could it be that they want to play in the Champions League?"

   "Wrong, they don't know it will take a few years to get to the championship."

   "Could it be... (with a sweating expression), they are the legendary World First League League One?"

"Congratulations, you got it!"

   "Messi, go. It is the dream of all professional players to play in the League. What's more, it is a great honor to play for the super giants Southampton in the League. You should go, you must go."

   Gerard Pique replied at this time: "Yes, I dream of playing in the League, but Southampton doesn't want me."

   "It's so pathetic, I sympathize with you, buddy!"

   Ibrahimovic saw Barcelona players ridicule and satirize Southampton on Weibo, and he was very angry.

   He knew in his heart that the world's strongest attacker, Southampton boss Yang Huan, was himself, not anyone else.

   Is Messi the only one in the eyes of these people?

   He had a bad impression of the Barcelona players, and he always felt excluded from them. Now when he hears their sarcasm at Southampton, it seems to be aloft, stepping on other people’s heads and pointing at others. Why are they?

   just because they have won the so-called six crowns? Just because they are super giants?

A sentence from Yang Huan suddenly appeared in Ibrahimović’s mind. The giants have nothing to be proud of, because they have also come from a small team step by step, and they may even be beaten at any time. Back to the original shape.

   There is no need for a small team to be inferior. As long as there is backbone, determination, and fighting spirit in the heart, the small team will definitely have a rising day.

   "I believe that in the near future, I will let Southampton put all the giants on their feet!"

   This sentence resonated in Ibrahimovic's heart.

   As early as the Ajax period, he set aspirations to surpass all football players and become the best top star in the world, and he has been working hard towards this goal.

   Everyone only noticed how much he said, but few people paid attention. Behind the unknown, how much he did, how much hardship and sweat he paid.

   Without these, how could there be today's Ibrahimovic?

   It seems like now, no one else knows what Southampton did, but Ibrahimovic knows.

After Yang Huan took over, this League One team showed great courage. It has successively introduced Benatia, Varane, and Hames from teams from France, Germany, the Netherlands and other countries. Rodriguez, David Alaba, Carvajal and Stroman and other players.

According to Raiola, although these players are not well-known, they all have a common characteristic. Young ~lightnovelpub.net~The past vision and quality of Southampton's scout network shows that these players are all quite strong. Not bad. For this reason, this League One team has spent more than 10 million euros in transfer fees.

At present, Southampton is still actively operating a number of players. Among them, Ibrahimović knows that it is the top star Neymar from Santos in Brazil. Santos just scared Chelsea away with a transfer fee of 35 million euros. , But Southampton made an offer of 30 million euros.

   Now I am waiting for the reply from Santos and Neymar's owners.

   There is no doubt that this is a team with great courage.

   Coupled with the invitation of the world coach Bielsa, Ibrahimovic has no doubt about the future prospects of Southampton.

   Thinking of this, Ibrahimovic couldn't help but have a strong desire, just like when Maradona decided to switch from Barcelona to Naples.

   Didn’t all of you say that I’m not good? Aren’t they all saying that Southampton’s team is not good?

   Well, I will go to a team that all of you look down on. I want to lead this team to a strong rise!

   I just want to prove to all of you that missing Barcelona is not my Ibrahimović’s loss.

   On the contrary, missing me Ibrahimovic is your biggest loss in Barcelona!

   Thinking of this, Ibrahimović copied his cell phone, pressed a number, and called his agent.

   He decided!
