Chapter 965 Messi is here!

Messi's appearance schedule is very particular, at 10:30 p.m. on Saturday.

This period of time is the so-called golden time.

The entire debut ceremony lasted from morning to afternoon, and the process was arranged very compact and orderly.

Messi arrived at Southampton Airport by a private plane at around 10 a.m.

After receiving Messi, the Saints immediately went to a Southampton hospital where Messi will undergo a medical examination.

Charlene Lahry accepted the invitation from Southampton to follow and report on the entire process with Stephen Howard of the Sun, as well as the Guardian, Times, Sky TV, BBC, Independence, British Telecom and other media and newspapers.

Among them, Sky TV and British Telecom even conducted a full live broadcast, and the BBC also gave quite heavy reports.

Compared with Cristiano Ronaldo's appearance at Tottenham Hotspur a week ago, Messi's joining Southampton has really triggered the entire British Isles.

Southampton's operating capabilities in publicity and momentum are fully reflected.

In the past period of time, news has been constantly released, 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 Stadium, and the Saints began counting down for new players on their official website and mobile app.

At that time, everyone thought it would be Messi, and they were all aroused.

But unexpectedly, three days later, Southampton announced the recall of John Stones from Everton.

Although the fans were a little disappointed, the 21-year-old local central defender won the recognition and recognition of fans with his outstanding performance in Everton, and made everyone look forward to his prospects in Southampton.

But just three days ago, the Saints once again posted the countdown on the player franchise on the official website.

Everyone guessed this time, it must be Messi, definitely!

The club is also full of fire and actively engaged in creating momentum. TV stations, newspapers and major websites have been reporting on Messi's joining in the past three days, and has repeatedly stirred up the enthusiasm of fans.

Now, Messi is really here!

The fans' expectations and enthusiasm have also reached their peak!

Charlene Lahry did not wait in the hospital, but just asked a colleague to continue stalking there, and she returned to the Glory Stadium because she knew that the so-called physical examination was just a formality.

Southampton has long known Messi's physical condition.

Many people don’t know that Messi secretly underwent a physical examination from the Saints the day after playing Perfect Continental Cup.

It is said that the medical department is not satisfied with the physical condition of the media, because Messi has been in a high load state in the past few years, especially in the past two years, last year's World Cup, this year's Copa America, and next year's Centennial Messi has not even had time to rest in the summer.

Originally, Southampton meant that after Messi joined, he would get another month of rest time for class.

And Messi also agreed.

But now, as Argentina missed the Copa America championship, Messi has adjusted his plan. He hopes 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 workspace at the Glory Stadium.

At this moment, the Glory Stadium is full.

Everyone is looking forward to the Messi joining ceremony that will be held here in an hour.

News and reports from Sky TV are being broadcast live on the big screen of the stadium.

In the hospital, Messi's physical examination results came out. There was no problem, just pass it directly!

This is not surprising.

Next, Messi will sign a professional contract with the club at the Saints headquarters at the Royal Pier, and then walk through the Saints House through the Plaza de Glory, enter the Stadium of Glory, and meet everyone.

At this moment, outside the Glory Square, there were also people rushing.

According to the official data provided by Southampton, more than 60,000 fans gathered in the stadium at this time, and there were more than 100,000 people outside the Honor Stadium.

What an amazing and spectacular scene?

Charlene Lahry just got news from Saint Harry that the Saint Harry fans had already entered the Glory Stadium in the morning, with the purpose of grabbing the seats in the first row.

There were even more than a dozen fans from northern England who had already gone south early in the morning to witness the ceremony of Messi joining the Saints.

Two hours in advance, the Honor Stadium was full and declared overcrowded.

It is conceivable that today this place is destined to be a grand event that the whole world is amazed.

The happiest thing is the merchants at the Glory Stadium.

Just imagine, these 170,000 to 80,000 people gathered in the surrounding area, and what they eat and drink were definitely a huge number. Haven’t they all made a fortune?

It is reported that Citibank has applied for a total of 140,000 fans' credit cards in the past three days. In order to get more points in exchange for free tickets, fans have developed a great enthusiasm for consumption.

It can be seen that Messi's joining is a huge development opportunity for Southampton as a whole.

Yang Huan also attaches great importance to Messi's joining.

Not only did he build momentum for Messi's franchise early, but he even put a lot of effort into the stage of the franchise ceremony.

Taking advantage of the transformation of the turf at the Glory Stadium, after the Saints cleared off the original turf, they did not immediately cover the brand new turf, but directly built a simple platform in the middle of the stadium, and green carpets were laid around them.

The carpet not only surrounds the platform, but also connects to the player's passage. At first glance, it looks a bit like walking on a catwalk show.

There is no obstruction around the platform. Any fan entering the venue can see everything that happened on the platform at a glance. At the same time, every live broadcast camera in the stadium can clearly capture the platform.

Yes, this debut ceremony will not only be broadcast live on WeChat platform, but will also be broadcast live by Sky TV and British Telecom, two Premier League live broadcasters.

Such a huge momentum and unique intention undoubtedly reflects the saints' emphasis on Messi.

Charlene Lahry stood in the media work area, looking at the stadium stands, and then looking at the simple but not simple central platform, she couldn't help but feel incredible emotion.

I still remember that five years ago, Yang Huan said in an interview with her that Southampton has stood up since then.

At that time, the Saints were still the third-level team in England, and everyone regarded Yang Huan's words as a joke.

But five years later, the Saints have unknowingly achieved the three-time Premier League championship and the two consecutive Champions League titles, becoming a veritable top giant in Europe.

The team is not only a gathering of stars, but also attracts world-class superstars such as Suarez, Hazard, and Messi.

With this lineup, who can compare to the whole of Europe?

"Look, Messi is leaving the hospital!"

In the media center, someone suddenly shouted, and then the audience cheered.

Charlene Lahry looked at the big screen and found that it was broadcasting live. Messi, accompanied by Southampton staff, walked out of the hospital and waved to the fans who were waiting for him to welcome him.

He looks in a good mood and seems to have come out of the shadow of losing the Copa America final.

Yes, strong psychological qualities are essential for those who can achieve such achievements.

The latest news is also refreshing on the big screen, saying that Messi will appear on the stadium in an hour and the franchise ceremony will officially begin.

At the same time, the number of fans on the stadium is also showing, with a total of 60,000 people, full seats!

Due to the capacity of the Glory Stadium, the Saints were unable to break the record when Cristiano Ronaldo joined Real Madrid in terms of the number of people who welcomed Messi, but the grand gathering of more than 100,000 fans outside the court was amazing.

Compared to Cristiano Ronaldo's appearance at Real Madrid, Messi's appearance as a Saint is even better.

"Hello, everyone, Messi will arrive at the Glory Stadium in fifteen minutes. Please move to the press conference hall!"

Southampton staff walked into the media center and announced the latest developments.

In an instant, everyone in the media center jumped up and entered the press conference hall next door.

Yes, in fifteen minutes, Messi will officially sign a professional contract with Southampton Yang Huan.

As long as he signs the contract, he will completely belong to Southampton in the next five years!

With her relationship with Yang Huan and as a hardcore Southampton fan, Charlene Lahry was well-deservedly arranged in the first row, and she will be arranged in the fourth to ask questions later.

The first one, undoubtedly, belongs to Yang Huan's own son, the Emperor of Football from China.

Although they have specially arranged people to follow up and report, this time the question will be participated in through WeChat interaction. It is said that the question was also raised by the Emperor of Understanding Qiu after voting and summarizing the opinions of Chinese netizens.

The second and third are the Sun and the BBC respectively.

There was no way, Charlene Lahry could only be the lover and had to ask the fourth question, and she had already prepared the question.

What’s very humane is that the live broadcast of Sky TV is also broadcasting on the screen in the press conference hall. They have cars that specifically track the pick-up and drop off Messi.

"You said, how good is Mr. Huan to advertise, right?"

Sitting next to Charlene Lahry was the Sun's chief reporter Stephen Howard. After seeing the live broadcast, he smiled.

The car that picked up Messi was the extended version of the Conqueror of Aston Martin, and the cars in the convoy were all Aston Martin and Lagonda.

It is conceivable that these cars will appear in front of fans all over the world with the live broadcast of Messi's debut.

This advertisement is also very good!

"If he hears it, he will definitely swear you and scold you. Do you think Young Master Huan's free lunch is so delicious?"

After saying that, Charlene Lahry couldn't help but giggle.

Steven Howard couldn't help but smile. This was indeed the style of Young Master Huan.

Since live broadcasts are not expensive, you must pay back the cost from other places. Therefore, Young Master Huan must advertise for himself and the saints' sponsors.

"I heard that the Saints' medical department is not satisfied with Messi's physical test. I guess Messi's debut will have to be postponed."

Before, Di Maria had a bad physical condition and only made her debut after joining for more than a month.

The saints attach great importance to this aspect.

Nowadays, Messi is not in good health. He has been overused in the past few years, so he must have a good rest now.

"I don't know, I didn't hear the news!" Charlene Rahry shook his head.

Stephen Howard looked at Charlene Lahry deeply, but couldn't guess whether he had really received the news? Or was he unwilling to say it?

At this moment, bursts of cheers and screams suddenly came from outside.

Everyone in the press conference hall immediately stood up one by one.

Obviously, Messi arrived!
Chapter completed!
