Chapter 460: Premier League, Here We Come!

80_80813When the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score of 4 to 1 was finally fixed on the electronic scoreboard of Sun Life Stadium, and at the same time, everyone present was shocked.

Is this still a promotion horse in the Premier League?

Is this really the Saints team that sank in League One two years ago?

In just two years, this team already has the strength to compete with the top European giants?

Even defeated the formidable Barcelona 4-1?

Draw with Manchester United, win Bayern Munich, beat Real Madrid and eliminate Juventus......

There is no doubt that the International Champions Cup is full of gold.

Just for the high appearance fee, the mouth-watering generous prize money is enough to ⊥ all the big teams to do their best.

It was in such a fierce competition that Southampton stood out, defeated one opponent after another, and won the championship trophy of this warm-up competition, which shocked everyone

The broadcast cameras at the Sun Life Stadium kept switching back and forth, from the elated Southampton players to the Barcelona players who lost the game and looked extremely depressed.

Each of them had disbelief written on their faces, but they were helpless.

Gerard O Peake sat on the turf with a nearly collapsed ass.

It's a pity that his great aunt couldn't convince Villanova under the pretext that he came.

Perhaps, he couldn't say it at all.

What happens in the locker room, who knows?

Anyway, in the second half, Vilanova replaced Puyol with Argentine player Mascherano but left Pique on the pitch.

As a result, the tragic Barcelona centre-back was ravaged by Didier Drogba.

Seeing him sitting on the turf, full of grievances and a sad expression on his face, it makes people wonder, how many people have he been wheeled by?

Villanova stood on the sidelines depressed, looking at Bielsa in the distance.

He lost

Not because of the players, but because he is not as good as others

For Vilanova, who has finally been promoted from the Barcelona assistant coach and has the ambition to play more than one game in the Barcelona coaching position, it is undoubtedly very painful to admit this.

But facts are facts

In this game, Bielsa defeated him with tactics

In the stands of Sun Life Stadium, Yang Huan laughed and watched Peter's Nien, Ron Gurley and others keep accepting everyone's congratulations.

It's just a warm-up cup, but it's also a championship, isn't it?

Besides, the prize money from this championship is quite good.

But Yang Huan was even happier with the team's run-in progress, which was very smooth

In the second half, Bielsa led 3-0 and rotated his team significantly.

By the 60th minute of the game, all 11 players had been replaced.

Including goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, he was replaced by the new substitute goalkeeper, Brazilian international Giulio Cesar.

It was only a few days ago that Southampton announced the transfer of players from Inter Milan, with Cesar taking a pay cut to join Southampton.

The person in charge of running this transfer is Italy's chief agent, Raiola.

Another midfield configuration, the combination of Isco, Nemanja Matic and Pogba, is also very eye-catching.

After Barcelona took advantage of Southampton's big substitutions to pull a goal back, Drogba beat Pique's header at the crucial moment, and the cross from Lavelle Morrison on the right flank came from Lavelle Morrison.

But before that, Pogba's long-range shot from the edge of the box hit Mascherano and bounced off the right.

Hazard's appearance on the left is also remarkable, although not as good as Neymar, but it is also quite good.

The team was able to run in to this kind of process, and Yang Huan was quite satisfied with the progress.

At the same time, there is also a lot of confidence in the new season of the Premier League.

Finally, it took two years to get back to the Premier League, and if it can't be more than one, it's a bit unbearable

Looking at the rostrum, the presidents and owners of the other teams who are also competitors all have grim faces, which is undoubtedly the greatest praise for Southampton.

Yang Huan is now full of ambition and confidence, full of confidence and expectation for the new season of the Premier League

Premier League, here we come

Southampton stunned the world with a 4-1 win over Barcelona in the final of the International Champions Cup

This is not an underdog team, and even in the past two years, countless fans and non-fans have been very familiar with this team.

However, no one would have imagined that this team would be so strong

In the past season, Southampton have won two domestic cups and one Europa League, but everyone knows that domestic cups are not very important, and the Europa League has not faced too strong giants.

But this time it was noticeably different

Of the eight teams participating in the International Champions Cup, Real Madrid and Barcelona are both considered to be the two strongest teams in football today, Bayern Munich won the Champions League last season, and there is no doubt about the quality of Ferguson's Manchester United.

Juventus have steadily improved in recent years, rising very quickly, and have superstars such as Andrea Pirlo and Gianluigi Buffon in the squad.

Manchester City may be a nouveau riche, but this team won the Premier League last season

Although Arsenal's strength is not strong, it is also a team that has stabilized the knockout stage of the Champions League and the top four giants in the Premier League

Such a cup configuration is no longer something that can be described as luxurious.

That's the level of competition at the level of the Champions League

But Southampton defeated strong opponents one after another in such a fierce competition and won the final championship

How can this not be shocking? Not amazed?

Overnight, almost all the world's media were reporting and paying attention to this team, this final, this cup competition.

It's unbelievable, isn't it?

Is there anything more dramatic than a Premier League promotion horse that has knocked down so many big teams?

On the Internet, the eyes of countless fans swept to Southampton.

But at the same time, another one is paying attention to another event.

That is the third-generation Divine Comedy cooperated by the goddess Lin Yun'er and Uncle Du Ziteng, Little Apple

Among the more than 70,000 fans at Sun Life Stadium, a considerable number of them went for Uncle Bird and Lin Yun'er.

Their focus is obviously not on the game, the International Champions Cup is more like a giveaway, and Uncle Bird and Lin Yun'er are the protagonists they care about the most. This has made fans enthusiastic, either in person or waiting in front of the TV, just to witness this moment.

Coupled with the conscious promotion of the organizers, the entire event has sparked a frenzy in the United States.

It is also because of this that James Murdoch will attach so much importance to the broadcast rights of the game in the next three years.

And after more than half a month of brewing and foreshadowing, when it came to the finals, this enthusiasm was finally detonated, and Little Apple had just finished singing for less than ten minutes, and Uncle Bird, Lin Yuner and Little Apple had become the hottest people on WeChat, Twitter and Facebook to discuss this song.

When Miracle Media was the first to release the song of Little Apple on the Apple Store, in less than half an hour, the song rushed to the top of the Apple charts, which is quite an astonishing number.

Early the next morning, the front page headlines of Uncle Bird, Lin Yuna and Little Apple, as well as new stations such as Southampton and the International Champions Cup, triggered a frenzy again.

Fox Sports has also benefited from this.

The reason is very simple, they used drones for the first time during the live broadcast to shoot several full-HD videos of the high-altitude overhead shooting of Sun Life Stadium, which clearly showed the whole process of Uncle Bird and Lin Yun'er's singing, as well as some clips of the game.

On these, they were immediately pushed to the top of the popular list by crazy fans.

But if that's all there is to it, then it's nothing.

On the third day, Miracle Media held a press conference in Miami to announce the fruitful results of the first International Champions Cup.

The first is that Manchester United and General Motors' Chevrolet brand have reached a sponsorship agreement for a six-year contract with a total value of up to 300 million pounds, which translates to 560 million US dollars.

This was followed by Southampton, which announced that TMHIFA American casual clothing would become an official partner of the Saints for five years and a total of £30 million, or £6 million a year.

At the same time, Intel, a well-known chip company, also sponsors advertising on the inside of Southampton's jerseys, and in the next five years, Southampton will have the Intel logo on the inside of the jersey, as well as the tv11ine logo.

For this purpose, Intel will pay Southampton a total of £25 million in sponsorship fees.

Apple has also announced that it will become Southampton's Official Consumer Electronic Equipment Partner for a five-year period of up to £25 million, a small portion of which will be paid for through Apple's electronic devices.

MetLife has also announced that it will sponsor advertising space on the left and right hems of Southampton jerseys for a total value of £50 million over five years, which is also an exclusive sponsorship, and MetLife will become a global premium partner of Southampton, the only insurance company with Southampton's trademark and star image rights license.

The latter will also launch a range of Saints and Southampton stars.

Following Southampton, Miracle Media also announced that Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Arsenal had all signed sponsorship contracts during the International Champions Cup, including giants such as Microsoft.

At the end of the press conference, Sun Yue said that the first International Champions Cup was not only a great success in terms of the operation of the event, but also a shocking achievement in terms of business operations.

"We have signed a total of ten sponsorship contracts worth more than £500 million for the teams participating in the competition, with more than a dozen contracts currently on the way and expected to be signed in the near future."

This immediately shocked the whole world

We all know that Americans have money, but who would have thought that American companies would be so rich

In more than half a month, a contract of 500 million pounds was signed

It's incredible

As soon as the news reached Europe, almost the whole of Europe was shocked

When Europe encountered a European debt crisis and the income of countless teams plummeted, the big gold mine of the United States suddenly appeared in front of everyone, shining with gold and dazzling, how could people not be moved?

For a while, the International Champions Cup was no longer a warm-up cup in the eyes of everyone.

It has turned into a money printing machine, the best platform for all European teams to land in the American market

In less than a day, the phone at the office of Miracle Media's London headquarters in the United Kingdom was almost blown up by the European professional teams who heard the news.

All the teams are asking one thing, will it be held next year? Expansion of the army? Is there still a lack of teams?

That spectacle once again sparked a lot of hype in the media around the world.

At the same time, it also made the seven giant teams that have signed five-year contracts happy.

At least I don't have to be like other teams now, grab the head, right?

But there are also some teams that regret it so much that their bowels are blue

Especially AC Milan's Galliani and Chelsea's Roman Abramovich.

Why do others go to the United States to participate in the competition, and we also go to the United States to participate in the competition, and people make a lot of money, but they are empty-handed?

What's more, people plan to go again next year, what about themselves?

Whether the North American Invitational will be held next year or not is an unknown one

It's really depressing to think about, why did you lose your mind and reject Miracle Media in the first place?

Now that people are famous, even if you find the door to post it upside down, I'm afraid people may not pay attention to you

The International Champions Cup is on fire now, and you are still missing a team?

A newspaper in the London area broke the news that Abramovich scolded Marina Granovskia and Bruce Buck at Stamford Bridge.

After Galliani returned to Milan, he was also called by Berlusconi and criticized him.

Barbara even took the opportunity to demand that he hand over more power to further weaken Galliani's influence in the Rossoneri.

But none of these news items have attracted much attention from fans and the media.

The reason is that there is naturally a fierce material that is more worthy of their attention.
