Chapter 247: Digging the Foot of the Wall
"I heard that in the FA Cup final, Southampton's owner Yang Huan made a bet with Roman Abramovich."
Sadie cautiously spoke of the rumors he had heard.
"Bet?" Drogba frowned.
Needless to say, he is definitely Abramovich's bet.
"I heard that Abramovich wants to poach Neymar, but Southampton won't sell it, so I made a bet that if he loses, Southampton will have to agree to push Neymar into the transfer market."
Drogba's face was solemn, and the feeling of being someone else's bet was really uncomfortable.
"Go on."
Sedie sighed, "It's not just you, Matic and Sturridge are both bets. ”
Drogba sneered.
At least, Lao Tzu is not alone, but has two companions.
"Abramovich bet on Manchester United to win, Yang Huan bet on Southampton to win, and as a result, Southampton won, Abramovich lost three players."
Maybe it was to make Drogba feel better, or maybe the news he heard was indeed the case, Sedie's next words were a bit of a change for Yang Huan, the future boss.
"I heard that there was no designation that it was yours, but it was just said that if Abramovich lost, any player in the Chelsea team could be picked by them, but after Yang Huan won, he said that he could only look at Drogba in the whole Chelsea team."
Drogba listened, and his chest was quite high.
It can be seen that the young owner of Southampton is still very knowledgeable.
The most hateful thing is Abramovich, who actually took all the players in the team as a bet, which is too unusual!
"Does everyone else on the team know?" Drogba asked lightly.
Sadie thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I don't know." ”
But soon, another sentence was added.
"But I'm sure I'll hear some rumors about it."
Even I was able to gather this kind of intelligence, and the big brokerage firms must have collected more, closer to the real insider.
"If he does this, the morale of the team will definitely plummet!" Drogba sneered disdainfully.
Sedie was also a little helpless, "For a rich man like them, what do the players think in their hearts, how can they take care of it?" ”
It's millions of pounds, and who cares what the players think?
With that kind of effort, you can make more money and bring in stars.
'I've also heard that Southampton have just completed a £60 million transfer.
"Sixty million pounds?" Drogba's dark face was filled with a look of shock.
"Who?"
Sedie shook his head, "I don't know, I've just heard people mention it, they say that Southampton have booked the transfer bid for this summer in advance!" ”
Who's to say it isn't?
Now that the transfer market is so sluggish, why did you pay 60 million pounds to bring in a midfielder?
"It seems that this Championship team is really ambitious!" Drogba, on the other hand, has a different outlook on Southampton.
If Ibrahimovic is left off as a substitute, if Southampton commits to the main position, Drogba feels that with the ambition and courage of this team, it is not impossible to go and play for himself.
But now, as long as he thinks that he is going to be a substitute for Ibrahimovic, his heart is very uncomfortable.
Why?
Just because he joined a year before him?
"Sadie." Drogba's eyes flashed with determination.
He has also experienced countless ups and downs, ups and downs, and his heart has been tempered very firmly.
"Hmm." Sadie listened intently.
"Let's go to Southampton!"
"Really going?" Sadie was a little surprised.
Drogba nodded heavily, "Since people don't take us seriously and don't want to keep us, it's no fun to continue to stay!" ”
Sadie thought about it and nodded to make sense.
"Ibrahimovic is very strong, but I'm not a vegetarian either, no matter how strong he is, I have to fight with him to see who is the world's No. 1 center forward!" When he said this, Drogba exuded a domineering aura of a demonic beast.
This is the world's top center, the momentum that Drogba should have.
Sadie was also immediately deeply infected.
As long as Drogba wants to do it, he believes that there is nothing that cannot be done.
'As for Chelsea and Roman Abramovich, they will definitely regret their decision now!'
Drogba clenched his fists hard, his muscles were exposed, he gritted his teeth, and said word by word.
"One day, I will settle today's grievances with them completely!"
…………
…………
In the second half of June, with the U21 European Youth Championship and the Toulon Cup and other events coming to an end, the Copa America began to enter the field of vision of fans.
Although Southampton is a Championship team, two players have been able to compete in the Copa America.
They are Vidal, the main midfielder of the Chilean national team, and Neymar, the talented star of the Brazilian national team.
As for the other cousin Xiàn good Hames? Rodriguez, who has not yet been selected for the Colombian national team, represented Colombia in the Toulon Cup, and defeated Pogba and Schneiderlin's French team to win the Toulon Cup.
As the new season approaches, the transfer market is also starting to get hot, and the news is frequent.
The most glamorous of these is undoubtedly Chelsea.
After bringing in Benatia and Adam from Southampton for £30 million and £40 million respectively? After Lallana, Chelsea continued to make big moves, bringing in youngster Romelu Lukaku from Belgium's Anderlecht for £22 million.
This is a rookie center who is favored by the outside world as the new Warcraft.
In addition, midfielder Mereles was brought in from Liverpool for 15 million pounds.
New boss Villas-Boas has vowed to overhaul Chelsea in a way that will bring the Blues back to competitiveness.
And the Portuguese manager, who is regarded as Jose Mourinho II and has just led Porto to the treble, is also expected by Chelsea fans.
Manchester United is not to be outdone, after the Saints youngster Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was snatched away by Arsenal, Ferguson successively brought in goalkeeper De Gea from Atletico Madrid for about 20 million pounds, and Phil from Blackburn? Jones, who brought in winger Ashley from Aston Villa? Yang.
With three transfers costing nearly £60 million, Manchester United's new season can be described as ambitious.
It is rumored that Ferguson was very dissatisfied with the fact that he persevered on all three fronts last season, but in the end he only won the league title, and he was determined to make a difference in the Champions League and domestic cups in the new season.
As Manchester United's sworn rivals, Manchester City's movements are not small.
Poached the key player Nasri from Arsenal, as well as the main left-back Klich, brought in midfielder Hargreaves from Manchester United, and brought in Argentine striker Sergio Aguero from Atletico Madrid for 45 million pounds.
All kinds of measures make people look forward to Manchester City's new season.
Even after purging stars such as Bam Adebayo, Santa Cruz, Boateng and Bellamy, Manchester City's squad is still amazingly large and has steadily improved, and it is one of the favourites to win the English League in the new season.
And when the media in Britain, Europe and even the world are generally hyping up these wealthy and powerful forces, they always mention Saint Southampton intentionally or unintentionally.
Even many reporters have not noticed that I don't know when Southampton has begun to be put into the ranks of Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and other teams.
This kind of ranking is very strange, and the logic is very strange.
Because Southampton is a Championship team, but Manchester United and other teams are giants.
However, when it comes to the UK, it is always inevitable that Southampton will be mentioned.
There are even a lot of fans who are very close to Southampton's every move.
When the heroes were in the transfer market and were very wealthy reinforcements, Southampton successively sold the team, including the captain Adam? Lallana, the main central defender Benatia and other eleven players.
What a hemorrhage!
This also makes people pay attention to Southampton.
Because after selling the player, they have recovered a total of more than 100 million pounds, plus the successive signing of multiple sponsorships such as the Chiron family, Heineken, Nike and Adidas, Southampton's financial resources are definitely not a problem.
But heading into late June, the team has yet to make any moves in the transfer market.
This has also caused concern among many Saints fans.
Especially when Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City and other giants are all on a big buying.
Rumours in the media are even more continuous, and even many media are suspecting that Southampton can no longer hold on.
Just when fans were looking forward to it, Southampton was the first to announce that the team had brought in England international centre-back Gary from Bolton Wanderers for £7 million. Cahill.
The homegrown English star caught the eye of a number of English teams, including Manchester United, last summer and is worth £25 million.
But no team made a move.
In the summer of this year, with only one year left on his contract, Sun Yue represented Southampton and went north to Bolton to negotiate the England international, and the price of 7 million pounds can be described as cheap.
This was also interpreted by the outside world as Southampton filling the void left by Benatia's transfer.
But there are still concerns that the new season will start with Raphael Varane and Gary? Will Cahill's centre-back combination be able to meet the team's multi-front operations, and whether teenager Nastasic can help the team.
This is also a concern for many people.
Before announcing the introduction of Gary? The day after Cahill, Southampton once again officially announced that the team had brought in youngster Danny from Chelsea. Sturridge, the transfer fee will not be announced.
The announcement was also made on Chelsea's official website.
This immediately drew a strong reaction from the outside world.
Southampton went to dig into Chelsea's corner?
Cow, it's so awesome!
Saints fans are even more excited on the Internet.
'Didn't you Chelsea come to poach our players? Gifts are still exchanged, and we will dig yours too! ”
But soon, the Chelsea fans fought back.
"We dug up the two of you, and you only dug up one of us, what are you arrogant?"
However, the following day, Southampton FC quickly gave the fans the weapons to fight back again.
The official website and WeChat announced at the same time that the team brought in Serbian midfielder Nemanja from Chelsea? Matic.
The transfer fee is still not announced.
This time, the fans of Southampton were in revelry.
"Two against two, it's flat!"
"Any idea why the transfer fee wasn't announced? Save face for you, you know? ”
"Wow, the Sun said that these two players are on a free transfer!"
"Southampton has picked up a big bargain, look at Sturridge, look at Matic, the strength is not said!"
"Chelsea are the wrongdoers, don't explain!"
"I finally know now, the team's transfer operation is too powerful, there is wood?"
"Three players, strengthen three positions, three lines in the front, middle and back, very pragmatic!"
"I said a long time ago, Young Master Huan will never let us down!"
"Long live Young Master Huan, continue to dig into the corners of Chelsea, we support you!"
There are also Chelsea fans who are questioning the management's transfer operation, thinking that bringing in Adam at such a high price? Lallana and Benatia, but sent Sturridge and Matic away for free, this is simply a cheat.
"We have reason to wonder if the management took Southampton's money?"
There are even a number of Chelsea players who have expressed their incomprehension of the team's transfer operation when they are interviewed by the media.
This even includes leaders like captain John Terry and Lampard Lampard.
But Chelsea's troubles have nothing to do with Southampton.
The day after the announcement of the introduction of Nemanja Matic, Southampton played for Gary? Cahill, Sturridge and Nemanja Matic held a press conference on WeChat.
With the experience of the previous operation, this time it is even more skillful to operate.
Coupled with the fact that WeChat itself has nearly 400 million users, and the impact of Ibrahimovic's press conference last year, this press conference has also attracted the attention of more than one million WeChat users.
Most of them are native to the UK.
And after this press conference, Yang Huan took a WeChat message, just a sentence.
"Tomorrow morning at half past nine, who would be interested in going to Heathrow Airport to pick up?"
Although there is only one sentence, it has been turned by countless fans and fans who pay attention to Yang Huan.
Even the major British newspapers have made a report based on this sentence.
Many people are speculating, who is the player Yang Huan is going to pick up the airport?
Could it be Drogba, who has been rumored to be in the outside world for a long time?
But soon, this one was left out.
The reason is very simple, Drogba is already in London, so why bother to run to Heathrow Airport to pick up the airport?
As a result, Heathrow Airport was crowded with thousands of Saints fans from Southampton, London and the surrounding area, as well as reporters and interview teams from major media outlets in the UK and Europe early the next morning.
Even BBc, Sky, Independent and other TV stations have specially arranged for film crews to go to Heathrow Airport.
Those who don't know about that posture still think that it is a visit from a foreign leader.
Who would have thought that what caused this qiē was just a sentence from our young master Huan?
