Chapter 59: Football Enters the Internet Age!

Brazilian prodigy Neymar rejects Chelsea for Southampton?

The news exploded almost instantaneously across the Internet, and everyone couldn't believe it was true.

But Neymar did announce to all the fans at a press conference on the WeChat platform that he would play for Southampton in the new season, and there was also a photo of him wearing Southampton's No. 11 shirt that represents the core player.

This shows the importance that the saints attach to him.

Saints fans are excited, after the team brought in Ibrahimovic, all Saints fans are already very satisfied, but who would have thought that the team would be so big, buy out Neymar's contract for 30 million euros, and bring the Brazilian talent to Southampton.

Is this the rhythm that is going to make people heart attack?

There are even British fans who left messages on WeChat and ridiculed, "Heart patients, please stay away from Southampton!" ”

Southampton's successive largesse has also attracted a lot of media and celebrity attention.

Twitter celebrity Ronaldo left a message on his official Twitter.

'I can't predict what the future holds for this transfer, but I would say that from what I've learned, Southampton is an ambitious team and I believe that Neymar can make great strides under the Saints, under Bielsa, and I am convinced that he will be at the heart of the Brazilian national team.

Ronaldinho, who has two to three million Twitter followers, also said, "If you ask me which team is the team that catches my attention the most in the new season? I wouldn't hesitate to choose Southampton and I'm looking forward to what an attacking football team with two world-class superstars in Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Neymar can bring to the fans. ”

Kaka, who has nearly seven million followers, tweeted his best wishes to Neymar.

In addition to these three Brazilian superstars, there are other football celebrities such as Zinedine Zidane, Nedved, Diego? Flan and other stars have retweeted or replied.

Of course, there are also some unfavorable, such as Pele, he said in an interview with the Brazilian media that he is very optimistic about Neymar's switch to Southampton, he believes that Neymar should stay in China to continue to improve himself, rather than going to the Europa League too early to make money.

But as soon as Bailey's remarks were posted on the Internet, they immediately aroused ridicule among netizens.

"Usually what Bailey says, we should all look upside down."

'I can now finally rest 100 per cent that Neymar will be successful at Southampton.'

"Pele, I want to ask you, how much did Neymar give you to bribe you to speak ill of him?"

When Neymar's switch to Southampton led to a strong earthquake in South American and European football, WeChat's team was also actively expanding its territory, including Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Balotelli, Diego? Fran and other stars have successively announced the opening of WeChat star accounts.

And Neymar's press conference made the newly launched mood stamp very popular.

WeChat also announced that all fans who follow Neymar's star account can use a complete set of Neymar's mood stamps for free.

Ibrahimovic fans can likewise try Ibrahimovic's mood stamp for free.

This makes the mood stamp seem to have become a label for celebrity fans, and it immediately caused a round of fanatical pursuit on the Internet.

Especially in Brazil, the strong popularity of Neymar, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Kaka has pushed the number of WeChat registrations to a new peak.

One day after Neymar's celebrity account was registered, the total number of followers around the world was as high as 350,000, and the increase was very amazing.

In addition, Kaka's followers also reached 330,000 in one day, closely following Neymar.

Ronaldo and Ronaldinho are slightly less popular, but they are not far behind, basically more than 250,000.

While the whole world is shocked by Neymar's switch to an English One team, the British national television station BBc has grandly launched the ace program, the special program of the daily game, Saints Southampton!

A lot of people say that the daily game has been going on for almost fifty years and has been in decline, although there is still Gary? Lineker held on, but he has gradually failed to keep up with the pace of this era, and the ratings have declined.

But this time, the BBc is determined to break with the traditional characteristics of the past, except that the host is still Gary? Outside of Lineker, among the invited guests, only Alain? Shearer, because he is a former England superstar from Southampton.

In addition, the program team invited Charlene, a reporter from the Southern Echo newspaper? Lahri, let's record this show together.

When Charlene, a beautiful woman with long blond hair? As soon as Raherry appeared in front of the TV screen, the director immediately gave her a big close-up on the camera, especially her plain face without powder, and I couldn't wait to take pictures of the pores that were almost invisible to the naked eye.

This scene made all the viewers in front of the TV have to marvel at the tenderness of her skin.

At this moment, countless otaku otaku began to search for the names typed out at the bottom of the screen.

No Twitter, no Facebook, just WeChat.

In less than a minute, Charlene? Lahri's WeChat account has seen more than 1,000 followers skyrocket.

After a short introduction with a strong rhythm, the show officially entered the theme.

'I'm sure all the people were very surprised, and very strange, and we also saw that on the Internet and in the newspapers, everyone was arguing, why did Ibrahimovic and Neymar choose Southampton?

Gary? Lineker is the host of the show, and he previously talked to Roger? Moses talked about it, and it was clear that this special program was going to completely overturn the previous program tradition and create a new style of special program.

It's an attempt to breathe a breath of fresh air into the fifty-year-old's daily game.

"Alain? Shearer, you used to be the top superstar player, what do you think about that? ”

Alan? Shearer has always given people the impression that he is not good at talking in this show.

'I've been thinking about it myself and like everybody, I'm confused and I think Southampton has something to go after with these stars.

Gary? Lineker vs Alain? Shearer's answer was a little disappointed, but immediately turned to Charlene? Lahri.

Is this stunningly beautiful reporter Barbara? Slater met when he was following Southampton, and he was absolutely amazed at the sight of her, and before the show, he made a special note to Gary? Lineker, do you want to push Charlene more? Lahri.

"As an important media in Southampton, the reporter who has been following Southampton for a long time, Charlene? What do you think, Lahri? ”

Charlene? Raherry's reappearance in front of the camera, still a standard close-up, even the amber eyeballs can be seen clearly, which suddenly made her number of fans skyrocket by more than a thousand in the next minute.

"Many people may be surprised, but I personally think it's a very normal choice."

"Why?" Gary? Lineker loved this amazing topic.

"First of all, you may not be very familiar with Southampton because he is in League One, but as far as I know, Southampton has been the focus of media and fans since it was bought in late July, even before the acquisition.

Gary? Lineker laughed, "You think this is a conscious propaganda plan?" ”

"I don't think it's conscious, but I want to emphasize that this club is the most important of all the clubs I've ever seen, and we all know that the internet is gradually replacing the traditional media industry, whether it's newspapers, magazines, or even TV stations."

"In the past, the English League did not sell the online rights separately, but now, judging from the latest official figures of the English League, the future broadcast rights of the English League will be divided into three parts, the British mainland, overseas and Internet rights."

"And the growth of Internet copyright is the fastest, so we have absolutely reason to believe that professional football is flying into the Internet era!"

Lineker nodded, "I agree with you, this team does attach great importance to the Internet, and even they even arrange a press conference on WeChat for the joining of stars, but how to explain that this team is suddenly on fire?" How do you explain the willingness of Ibrahimovic and Neymar to join Southampton? ”

Charlene? Lahri smiled slightly, and this charming smile made her WeChat followers skyrocket again.

"First of all, I have to say, it seems like two things, but it's actually one thing."

"In the past, traditional media controlled news channels, and fans wanted to watch games and meet stars, so they could only use traditional channels such as newspapers, TV and magazines, and these channels inevitably poured all their resources into the most newsworthy areas, there is no doubt that the top leagues, the English and Champions League, and even the top giants such as Manchester United!"

Lineker and Alain? Shearer nodded his head again and again, and this is indeed the norm in traditional media.

"But the rise of the internet has shattered that, and I remember a lot of English teams saying that there are fewer and fewer young people who are willing to go into the stadium to watch games, and there are fewer and fewer young people who like football, but they never think about why."

"Now is the Internet era, I used to go to the ticket window to buy a ball ticket and wait in line for a long time, but now I sit at home, download a mobile app, easily pay for things, and go back when the time is about the same."

"Young people don't want to go into the stadium to watch a game, not because they don't like football, but because they don't have something that impresses them to walk into the stadium, and they don't want to wait in line for a long time to watch a game, and they don't want to watch people they don't know at all, or they don't know well."

"Young people nowadays like to get involved and want to know what the star they follow on their phones is doing and thinking, so when Ibrahimovic said on WeChat before the third round of League One that he would not be able to play in this round, the Southampton fans put up banners in the stands to encourage the Swedish centre-forward.

"So, when Southampton decided to hold a press conference on the WeChat platform, so that everyone interested could participate through WeChat on their smartphones, the young people were excited to see the excitement and ask a whole bunch of strange questions."

"But these are the questions that give them a better idea of what kind of player they are in front of them, and they can get a sense of involvement, and these people will express their thoughts and opinions on social media tools such as WeChat, Twitter and Facebook, which is equivalent to free promotion for Southampton."

Lineker nodded again in agreement, "Miss Lahri, you have solved some of our doubts, let us know clearly why Southampton is popular, do you think this marketing model of the Saints will continue?" ”

"Yes, definitely!" Charlene? Lahri is convinced of this.

Because Yang Huan confirmed her personally.

"I've gotten some insider information from some sources that Southampton is still in the trial phase of the season, but it's going very well so far, season tickets are selling out, and unlike in the past, 56 per cent of season ticket holders are women and young people under the age of 25."

"I've heard they're looking into potentially lowering ticket prices for next season to attract more fans, and not only that, but they're also planning to build a new top-class stadium in Southampton."

"Wait!" Lineker stretched out his hand to block, "Miss Lachri, I was also very excited when I heard the news, but I would like to ask about Southampton's finances, the introduction of Ibrahimovic, Neymar and other superstars, the construction of a new training base, the construction of a new stadium, and the further reduction of ticket prices, I don't know very much." ”

Alan? Shearer also looked concerned, "yes, I'm wondering, how do they keep the team running and running? ”
