Chapter 965: Messi is here!
Messi’s appearance time is carefully arranged, at 15:30 on Saturday afternoon.
This time period is the so-called prime time.
The whole unveiling ceremony lasted from morning to afternoon, and the arrangement was very compact and orderly.
Messi arrived at Southampton Airport by a private jet at about ten in the morning.
After receiving Messi, the saint went to a cooperative hospital in Southampton as soon as possible, where Messi will undergo a medical examination.
Charlene Lahry accepted the invitation from Southampton to follow and report the whole process with Stephen Howard of The Sun, and multiple media and newspapers including the Guardian, Times, Sky, and British Telecom.
Among them, Sky TV and British Telecom even conducted a full live broadcast, and also gave quite heavy reports.
Compared with Cristiano Ronaldo’s appearance at Tottenham Hotspur a week ago, Messi’s joining Southampton really detonated the entire British Isles.
Southampton's operational capabilities in propaganda and momentum are even more vividly demonstrated.
In the past period of time, news has been released continuously, arousing the curiosity and attention of fans.
As early as a week ago, Cristiano Ronaldo had just finished his appearance at the White Hart Lane. The Saints started counting down for new players to join on their official website and mobile app.
At that time, everyone thought it would be Messi, and all of a sudden were aroused.
Unexpectedly, three days later, Southampton announced the recall of John Stones from Everton.
Although the fans were a bit disappointed, the 21-year-old local central defender, with his outstanding performance at Everton, won the recognition and recognition of the fans, and made everyone look forward to his prospects in Southampton.
But just three days ago, the Saints once again posted a countdown for players to join on the official website.
At this time, everyone guessed, it must be Messi, it must be!
The club is also full of firepower and actively engaged in the campaign. In the past three days, TV stations, newspapers and major websites have been reporting on Messi’s joining almost in succession, spurring the enthusiasm of the fans again and again.
Now, Messi is really here!
The expectations and enthusiasm of the fans has also reached its peak!
Charlene Laheri did not wait in the hospital, but just asked a colleague to follow there, and she returned to the Glory Stadium, because she knew that the so-called medical examination was just a formality.
Messi's physical condition has long been known to Southampton.
Many people don't know that Messi secretly received the Saint's medical examination in Argentina the day after playing the Perfect World Cup.
It is said that the medical department is not satisfied with the health of the media, because Messi has been in a state of high load in the past few years, especially in the past two years, last year’s World Cup, this year’s America’s Cup, As well as next year's America's Cup centennial, these will make Messi even the summer rest time.
Originally, Southampton meant that after Messi joined, he would get another month's rest.
Messi originally agreed.
But now, as Argentina missed the Copa America, Messi adjusted his plan. He hopes to be able to train with the team from the beginning, and he hopes to integrate into the team faster.
However, Southampton seems to have its own arrangements and calculations for this.
Charlene Lahry walked into the media work area of the Glory Stadium.
At this moment, the Glory Stadium is already full.
Everyone is looking forward to the Messi joining ceremony that will be held here in an hour.
Sky TV’s news and reports are being broadcast live on the stadium’s big screen.
In the hospital, the results of Messi's physical examination came out, there is no problem, pass it directly!
This is not surprising.
Next, Messi will sign a professional contract with the club at the Saints Headquarters in Royal Wharf, and then walk from the Saint's House through the Glory Plaza, enter the Glory Stadium, and meet everyone.
At this moment, outside the Glory Plaza, there was also a surge of people.
According to the statistics given by Southampton officials, more than 60,000 fans gathered in the stadium at this time, and more than 100,000 people gathered outside the Glory Stadium.
What an amazing and spectacular scene is this?
Charlene Laheri just got the news from Saint Harry, the Saint Harry fan club has entered the Glory Stadium in the morning, the purpose is to grab the first row of seats.
There are even more than a dozen fans from northern England who have already moved south in the early morning to witness the ceremony of Messi joining the Saints.
Two hours in advance, the Glory Stadium was fully seated and declared overcrowded.
It is conceivable that today this place is destined to be a grand event that the whole world will marvel at.
The happiest thing is the merchants of Glory Stadium.
Imagine that these 170,000 people gathered in the surrounding area. The food and drink are definitely a huge number. Haven't they all earned money?
It is reported that in the past three days, Citibank has processed a total of 140,000 fan credit cards. In order to obtain more points in exchange for free tickets, fans have generated great enthusiasm for consumption.
It can be seen that the joining of Messi is a huge development opportunity for Southampton as a whole.
Yang Huan also attaches great importance to Messi's joining.
Not only was he creating momentum for Messi's joining early, but even the stage of the joining ceremony was a lot of thought.
Taking advantage of the turf renovation of the Glory Stadium, the Saints did not immediately cover the new turf after clearing the original turf. Instead, they built a simple platform directly in the middle of the stadium, and the surroundings were paved. Green carpet.
The carpet not only surrounds the platform, but also connects the player channel, which at first glance is a bit like walking on a catwalk show.
The platform is unobstructed. Any fan who enters the stadium, sitting on it, can have a clear view of everything that happens on the platform. At the same time, every live broadcast camera in the stadium can clearly capture the platform.
Yes, this unveiling ceremony will not only be broadcast live on the WeChat platform, but will also be broadcast live by the two major Premier League broadcasters, Sky TV and British Telecom.
Such a great momentum, such a special intention, undoubtedly reflects the saints' importance to Messi.
Charlene Lahry stood in the media work area, and she couldn't help but feel unbelievable.
I still remember that when Yang Huan accepted her interview five years ago, Southampton had stood up ever since.
At that time, the Saints were still in the third division of England, and everyone took Yang Huan's remarks as a joke.
But today, five years later, the Saints have unknowingly achieved the hegemony of the Premier League triple crown, the two consecutive Champions League titles, and become the veritable top giants in Europe.
The team is not only a gathering of stars, but also attracts the world's top stars including Suarez Azar Messi.
With this set of lineups, who can compare to all of Europe?
"Quick West is about to leave the hospital!"
In the media center, I don't know who suddenly shouted, and then there was a burst of cheers from the audience.
Charlene Laheri found the live broadcast on the screen. Messi, accompanied by Southampton staff, walked out of the hospital and waved to the fans who were standing there to welcome him.
He is in a good mood and seems to be out of the shadow of losing the America's Cup final.
That's right, for a person who can achieve his achievements, a strong psychological quality is essential.
The big screen is also refreshing the latest news, indicating that Messi will appear in the stadium at a young age and the joining ceremony will officially kick off.
At the same time, it also shows the number of fans in the stadium, which has reached 60,000 in total, full!
Limited by the capacity of the Glory Stadium, the Saints couldn't break the record when Cristiano Ronaldo joined Real Madrid in the number of people greeted by Messi, but the gathering of hundreds of thousands of fans outside the stadium was amazing.
Compared to the original Cristiano Ronaldo joining Real Madrid, Messi's conversion to the Saints' appearance is really worse.
"Hello, everyone, Messi will arrive at the Glory Stadium in fifteen minutes, please move to the press conference hall!"
Staff from Southampton walked into the media center and announced the latest developments.
In an instant, everyone in the media center jumped up and filed into the press conference hall next door.
Yes, in fifteen minutes, Messi will be here to officially sign a professional contract with Yang Huan of Southampton.
As long as he signs the contract, he will completely belong to Southampton in the next five years!
Relying on the relationship with Yang Huan and being a die-hard fan of Southampton, Charlene Laheri deservedly be placed in the first row, and she will be placed in the fourth to ask questions later.
The first one, undoubtedly, belongs to Yang Huan's pro-son, the emperor of the ball from China.
Although they also specially arranged for people to follow up and report, but this time the question will be participated in the way of WeChat interaction. It is said that the question is also raised after the ballot and summing up the opinions of Chinese netizens.
The second and third are the Sun and respectively.
No way, Charlene Laheri can only be the lover, and can only ask the fourth question, and she has already prepared the question.
Very humanely, the screen in the press conference hall is also showing a live broadcast of Sky TV. They have a car dedicated to tracking the car that picks up Messi.
"You said, Master Huan is good at advertising, right?"
Sitting next to Charlene Lahry was Stephen Howard, the chief reporter of The Sun, who was smiling after the broadcast.
The car that picked up Messi was the Aston Martin Extended Conqueror, and the cars in the team were all Aston Martin and Lagonda.
It is conceivable that these cars will appear in front of fans all over the world with Messi’s live broadcast.
This ad is also amazing!
"If he heard it, he would definitely spray you and scold you. Do you think Master Huan's free lunch is so delicious?"
After speaking, Charlene Laheri couldn't help but giggled.
Steven Howard is also not smiling, this is indeed the style of Young Master Huan.
Since the live broadcast doesn't require money, it must be recovered from other places. Therefore, Young Master Huan must advertise himself and the Saints’ sponsors.
"I heard that ~lightnovelpub.net~ The Saints' medical department is not satisfied with Messi's physical examination. I guess, Messi's debut has been postponed."
Before Di Maria was due to poor physical condition, but after joining for more than a month did she make her debut.
The saints' emphasis on this aspect is evident.
Nowadays, Messi's body is not very good. He has been overused in the past few years. Now he must take a good rest.
"I don't know, I haven't received any news!" Charlene Laheri shook her head.
Stephen Howard's deep Charlene Lahry, can't guess whether she really didn't receive the news? Still refuse to say?
At this moment, there was a burst of cheers and screams outside.
Everyone in the press conference hall suddenly stood up.
Obviously, Messi is here!
