Chapter 33 Southampton From the Stars

The Fourth Ring Road, the capital of China, Shunjing Hot Spring Hotel.

Ibrahimovic pushed open the door of the luxurious ambassador suite and walked in with a tired face.

Behind him, the door slammed shut automatically.

The tall and strong Swede walked to the living room, took off his shirt as he walked, exposing his strong muscles, sat down on the soft fabric sofa, and grabbed the TV remote control on the mahogany coffee table.

As soon as he pressed it, the whole room was filled with a voice he couldn't understand at all, Chinese.

He chose channels at will, and he didn't know what he was watching because he couldn't understand every channel.

Lying on the sofa, listening to a language he didn't understand, watching the actors on TV, he didn't even understand what he was talking about.

But he still drove, because it was a little more lively.

Since he fell out with Guardiola on the spot half a year ago, he has felt more and more isolated in Barcelona, ​​he doesn't even have a single person to talk to, and is always like a loner.

It was as if Barcelona China was arranging hotel rooms. All teammates formed a team. In the end, only Zlatan Ibrahimovic was alone. In order to avoid the media hype, Barcelona arranged for him a room with the host. Coach Guardiola-like perks, luxurious ambassador suites.

On the surface, this is a special treatment for the Swedish center, but in fact, everyone knows that it is because no one wants to live with him in the same room, which shows how embarrassing his current position in Barcelona is.

On the first day of the new season's training camp, Ibrahimovic lowered his face and took the initiative to find Guardiola and talk to him about the situation of the new season. There are very few interested teams, and the Swede said in a low voice that he is willing to stay in Barcelona and actively cooperate with Guardiola.

He even promised that he would do his best to cooperate with Messi, including actively participating in defense.

But Guardiola has only one sentence from start to finish.

"How shall we proceed?"

He said this sentence a total of four times. On the fourth time, Ibrahimovic finally couldn't help it. He was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and slammed the door and angrily left Guardiola's office.

Then, Barcelona announced the introduction of David Villa, which almost blocked the hope left by Ibrahimovic.

The Swedish center himself has made up his mind to leave the team, and he doesn't want to stay even one more minute in Barcelona.

if you can.

But it backfires, and a lot of things aren't what you want to be able to do.

Barcelona president Roselle told him very clearly that he could go anywhere except Madrid.

Because of the grievances with Mancini that year, the possibility of Ibrahimovic going to Manchester City was blocked.

The only remaining team in the top league is AC Milan.

Galliani is an old fox in transfer negotiation. He is currently making rumors outside, but he has repeatedly reiterated that the possibility of introducing Ibrahimovic is only 50%, because Ibrahimovic Movic's salary is too high.

With an annual salary of 9 million euros, AC Milan hopes to talk about 5 million euros. In terms of transfer fees, AC Milan will definitely not be able to give Barcelona the 40 million euros that they want. They have no money at all.

so,

This transfer can only continue to drag on.

No one knows when it will be delayed.

These days are a torment for Ibrahimovic.

Standing up from the fabric sofa, the TV was not turned off, and stepped on the mahogany stairs to the attic.

This is the privilege of the Deluxe Ambassador Suite, the room is in the attic.

After entering the room, the whole person lay on the bed, opened the laptop by the bed, and several messages popped up as soon as it was connected to the Internet.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic clicked on one of the news headlines: The new master of the saint is arrogant and narcissistic, drowned by netizens.

Click in and find that it turned out to be a report about the Saints Southampton.

In an exclusive interview with a reporter from the Southern Echo Daily, Yang Huan, the chairman of the club, said that he firmly believes that his team is the strongest team, and at the same time, he is also ambitious to introduce the best scorer in the world, in the shortest time. Southampton has become the strongest new football force in the UK and even Europe.

However, some of his words were ridiculed and ridiculed by the media and netizens.

For example, Yang Huan said that Southampton could fight against giants such as Manchester United and Chelsea. This was ridiculed by many fans and the media as arrogance. A League One team is delusional to challenge traditional tyrants. This is not arrogance. What?

Ibrahimovic looked at it, but felt strange in his heart. Did Yang Huan make a mistake?

Does he have to say, we are a League One team, we are not as good as Manchester United and Chelsea, not as good as those Premier League teams?

Do you have to be kneeling on the ground, seeking the approval and sympathy of the general public, in order to survive? Is it called modesty?

In Zlatan Ibrahimovic's view, humility depends on your heart, not what you say or do.

Another thing that has been criticized is that Yang Huan said that he wanted to introduce the best scorer in the world. This was immediately spread on the Internet, especially on Weibo. One by one Aite came to Aite, and many Aite arrived Ibrahimovic's Weibo.

"Messi, Messi, I heard that you are going to Southampton, is that true?" This is Gerard Pique's Weibo.

"What? Messi, are you going to the legendary Southampton? Are you crazy? Is that a team you can go to?" This is Puyol's Weibo.

"My God, Messi, you have the opportunity to go to the legendary Southampton? So happy!" This is a nobody.

"(An emoji with a raised hand) Excuse me, which National League team is Southampton in? I've looked through the league tables in Europe and I can't see this team? Is he from the stars? Team Cosmos?" I don't know who's selling cute stuff.

"Haha, you go to the English League and scroll down. You can find Southampton in the second-floor parking lot in the basement of the Premier League!" Gerard Pique replied again, with a thankless expression.

"Oh, can they play the Champions League?"

"cannot!"

"Europa League?"

"also can not!"

"The Premier League is always okay, right?"

"I'm sorry, but it still doesn't work."

"Could it be that they are going to play the Championship?"

"Wrong, they don't know how many years it will take to get promoted to the Championship."

"Could it be... (with a shocked and sweaty expression), they are the legendary League One in the world?"

"Congratulations, you got it!"

"Messi, let's go. Playing in the League One is the dream of all professional players, not to mention the super giant Southampton who plays in the League One. It is a great honor. You should go, you must go."

Gerard Pique replied at this time: "Yeah, I dream of playing in League One, but Southampton doesn't want me."

"It's so pathetic, I pity you, man!"

Zlatan Ibrahimovic got angry when he saw Barcelona players sneer at Southampton on Weibo.

He knew in his heart that the strongest attacker in the world that Southampton boss Yang Huan said was himself, not anyone else.

Is there only Messi in the eyes of this group of people?

He didn't have a good impression of Barcelona's players. He always felt that he was excluded from them. Now he hears their sarcastic tone of Southampton, as if they are high above others, stepping on the top of others' heads, pointing fingers at others, why are they?

Just because they won the so-called six crowns? Just because they are super rich?

The words of Yang Huan suddenly appeared in Zlatan Ibrahimovic's mind. The giants have nothing to be proud of, because they have come step by step from small teams, and they may even be beaten at any time. back to its original shape.

There is no need for small teams to feel inferior. As long as they have the backbone, determination, and fighting spirit in their hearts, small teams will surely rise one day.

"I believe that in the near future, I will let Southampton put all the giants under their feet!"

This sentence resonated in Zlatan Ibrahimovic's heart.

As early as the Ajax period, he set his ambition to surpass all football players and become the best top superstar in the world, and he has been working hard towards this goal.

Everyone only noticed how much he said, but few people paid attention to how much he silently did, how much hard work and sweat behind the unknown.

Without these, how could Ibrahimovic be today?

It's as if no one else knows what Southampton has done, but Ibrahimovic does.

After Yang Huan took the helm, this League One team showed great courage, and successively introduced Benatia, Varane, James R. Rodriguez, David? Alaba, Carvajal and Strowman and other players.

According to Raiola, although these players are not famous, they all have one thing in common: youth.

Based on the vision and quality of Southampton's scouting network in the past, it can be seen that these players are quite good. For this reason, this League One team has spent more than 10 million euros in transfer fees.

At present, Southampton is still actively operating a number of players. Among them, Ibrahimovic knows that it is the top star Neymar from Brazil's Santos. Santos has just used a transfer fee of 35 million euros to scare away Chelsea. , but Southampton has made an offer of 30 million euros.

Now waiting to hear from the owners of Santos and Neymar.

There is no doubt that this is a strong team.

Coupled with the invitation of the world famous coach Bielsa, Ibrahimovic has no doubts about the future prospects of Southampton.

Thinking of this, Ibrahimovic couldn't help but have a strong desire in his heart, just like when Maradona decided to switch from Barcelona to Naples.

Didn't all of you say I can't do it? Isn't everyone saying that Southampton is a bad team?

Well, I will go to a team that you all look down on, and I will lead this team to a strong rise!

I just want to prove to all of you that missing Barcelona is not my loss for Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

On the contrary, missing me Ibrahimovic is the biggest loss for you Barcelona!

Thinking of this, Ibrahimovic copied the phone, pressed a number, and called his agent.

He has decided!
