Chapter 921 Our Goal Is the Sea of ​​Stars!

"Less, you are the technical director of Southampton. You are responsible for a large part of the Saints transfer operation, and now I want to ask you a few questions on behalf of the fans, is that okay?"

In front of the camera, Charlene Lahiri asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Les Reed, a special guest in a neat suit, nodded in agreement.

"What transfer plans does Southampton have this summer?"

"Our transfer plan has always been very clear. Whether it is the fans, the management, or the coaching staff, they are very satisfied with our current lineup. We have a group of very good high-level stars, and we have gathered a group of very good young people. rookie."

"This season, Pogba and Kovacic have gradually provoked the midfielder. Harry Kane is the top scorer in the Premier League. Martial's performance is also quite amazing. Ravel Morrison, Stanley Players like Turic are as good as ever."

"So, we are quite satisfied with the current lineup and will not make too many adjustments."

"Really?" The host Charlene Lahiri looked skeptical, "But, we know that there are many problems in the defense, and even now many people say that the key to the Champions League final between Southampton and Bayern Munich lies in the Saints. defense line, what do you think?"

Les Reed nodded, "This kind of argument is normal. Real Madrid's defense is not good, Barcelona's defense is also problematic, is Bayern Munich's defense okay? Our current defense of the team, and this batch Defensive players, very satisfied."

"Varane's performance this season has proved that he is a world-class central defender, and he is still very young and still improving. Although Nastasic and Laporte have made many mistakes, their performances are also good. It's worth looking forward to, so we don't think there will be any problems with the team's defense."

"Then what do you mean, the defense will not sign in this year?"

"No, no, no, I didn't say that!" Les Reed shook his head immediately, "I mean, our signings are not because the players are not performing well, but just to strengthen the team's lineup."

Charlene Lahiri chuckled, "I have received news that Southampton intends to recall Stones, a local teenager who is on loan at Everton. I wonder if this news is true?"

"Hmm..." Les Reed nodded, "This is indeed one of the options we are considering."

"Okay, let's move on to the next question!" Charlene Lahiri smiled slyly, as if she had seen the excitement of the fans watching the video.

Stones, the best local central defender in the Premier League this season, once made Chelsea pursue him for a summer.

It was Charlene Lahiri and her sidelines who were the first to reveal the truth.

It turned out that Stones was on loan at Everton from Southampton.

At that time, this incident caused a huge repercussions in British football, and everyone was taken aback, understanding why Chelsea could not buy Stones.

But now, Charlene Lahiri's question obviously made Les Reid reveal a hint that the Saints will recall Stones to strengthen the defense.

This will undoubtedly be a great joy for Saints fans.

"A fan asked me to ask you, Rice, what do you think of Messi?"

"Messi?" Les Reid was a little surprised, "He is a great star."

Charlene Lahiri chuckled, "Les, you obviously don't want to talk about this issue."

Les Reed was a little embarrassed, but didn't answer.

"Can you tell me, have the Saints ever thought about introducing Messi?"

"Uh... this... I haven't got any news about it for the time being."

Charlene Lahiri smiled, "But as far as I know, your scouting team once had contact with Messi's team. The place was just after Barcelona's 2-0 away game against Elva. He hit two balls, and you seem to be checking his physical condition."

"No, there is absolutely no such thing!"

"Really not?" Charlene Lahiri raised her voice.

"No!" Les Reed denied again.

But his tone sounded like a very guilty feeling, a bit self-deprecating.

"Okay, it's okay if you don't admit it, then I'll ask you again. As far as I know, Messi's father has been to Southampton and is already planning to find a house in Southampton, do you know?"

"I don't know!" Les Reed shook his head.

"Oh, no, I mean, I only found out after reading the news in the newspaper, and Messi himself denied that anyone helped him find a house in Southampton, so I don't think there is anything to say about it."

"Okay, but, Messi once mentioned that if he leaves Barcelona, ​​the team he most wants to join is Southampton, and I can prove that your people have had contact with Messi, and Messi's family is also there. Southampton is looking for a house, but you tell me it's okay, how can I believe that?"

"I..." Les Reed was a little speechless, "I don't quite believe it myself."

Charlene Lahiri chuckled, "Then you mean to admit that Southampton wants to buy Messi?"

"Yes, I want to buy it, but can we afford it?" Les Reid shook his head and said, "The media also said that the offer from Barcelona is 250 million euros, we..."

"No, no, no, Rice, that is liquidated damages. In fact, the Spanish media have disclosed that as long as any team can make a sincere offer, Barcelona will consider releasing it. Their psychological price should be at Around 200 million euros."

"Yes, 200 million euros, my God, do you think we can afford this money? Also, how much is Messi's salary? Twenty million euros, including the British tax rate, we have to bear four Do you think we can afford the cost of tens of millions of euros?"

If you think about it carefully, it seems that you really can't afford it!

But who was Charlene Lahiri?

"I received news that Rice, the Saints' jersey sponsor Nike will pay part of the transfer fee for the Saints, and at the same time increase the sponsorship amount. The Saints will become the team with the highest jersey sponsorship expenses in the world."

Les Reed has that look of surprise you know.

"In addition, I also got news that Qatar Airways is also willing to bear part of the transfer fee and increase the amount of sponsorship. It is estimated that the two major sponsors will share the transfer fee of about 100 million euros for the Saints, plus other sponsors, Together with our partners at Glory Square, Southampton will raise close to €150 million or so."

Speaking of this, Charlene Lahiri smiled slightly and said very firmly: "That is to say, if the Saints really plan to introduce Messi, there will be 150 million euros of funds that will be sent to the door on their own initiative, and The Saints just have to take care of the rest themselves."

Les Reed shook his head, "Charlene, I don't know where your news came from, but do you think it's possible?"

"Possibly, absolutely possible!"

On the other hand, Les Reed showed a very depressed expression, I was speechless when you said it with such certainty.

…………

…………

When the whole of Europe is speculating about whether Messi will leave Barcelona, ​​and which team he is most likely to switch to after he does leave Barcelona, ​​the well-known self-media program of oil-and-earth football has launched a new program.

This is normal, because off-site is once a week.

What is not normal is that the special guest of this episode is the technical director from Southampton, Les Reid.

At such a sensitive time, it is interesting to invite Southampton's technical director.

Long before the recording of the show, he called on all fans and users to express their views and asked various questions to Les Reid on his WeChat public platform outside the venue.

Adhering to her usual off-court attitude, Charlene Lahiri did not disappoint. In the second half of the show, she also fired repeatedly when asking questions on behalf of fans.

Especially in the final stage, when asked about Messi's transfer, Reed was speechless, and all the audience and fans who watched the video were hooked. Isn't this just revealing the truth naked?

"Messi! It seems that the Saints really want to buy Messi!"

"My God, the Saints' lineup is already strong enough, do you want to buy another Messi?"

"This is simply against the rhythm of the sky. From now on, the Premier League will enter the Saints Dynasty!"

"Who says it's not? Look at Les Reed's appearance. He must know the inside story, but he can't say it. It's really embarrassing him enough to be asked so hard!"

"Yeah, but the lineup of Saints is too outrageous, it's too extravagant!"

"When I saw this video, I cried, my poor Arsenal, why are you so unlucky?"

"Hey, upstairs, we're talking about saints, what's the matter with Arsenal?"

"That's right, why don't you cry for no reason? You, Uncle Wenger, are all right!"

"You don't know, I am a die-hard Gunners fan. When I see the Saints today, think about our Gunners. We also build stadiums. You build and build, from the League One to the Premier League, to the Champions League, and by the way. Won three Premier League titles and a Champions League."

"It's also the construction of the stadium. You have built a huge star lineup, and now you have to hook up with Messi, but what about us? We have built ourselves from a wealthy team to a hanger!"

"Uh... It seems really sad to hear this poor gunman brother say that."

"Isn't it? When it comes to Arsenal and our great saints, I think the biggest difference is that we have a young master Huan!"

"That's right, our young master Huan is a bull, and his operational ability is called a blast. Among other things, how many teams in Europe can put together this lineup?"

"Isn't it? I keep telling people that the lineup of the Saints, if thrown out by a random substitute, is at the level of tens of millions! Master Huan's ability makes people dissatisfied!"

"Who says it's not? If you want me to say, we great saints are all thanks to Master Huan!"

"Yes, thanks to Master Huan, we have such a good life!"

"Hey, our great saints are no better than before, we are going to defend the Champions League!"

"Isn't it? Compare Arsenal with us, cut!"

"Wow, Kaka, we actually have a day to kill Arsenal, fun, fun!"

"Long live Young Master Huan!"

"Support buying Messi, we want to be super giants!"

"With Messi, Hazard, Suarez, Cesc Fabregas and Di Maria, our team is full of superstars. Looking around the world, which team can be as luxurious as ours? So star-studded?"

"More importantly, our combat effectiveness is beyond the charts. It's okay to be invincible in the Premier League, and we have even reached the Champions League."

"Thinking about all the local tyrants in the Premier League, they are all supported by us. You think, how sour it is?"

"What is the Premier League? Our goal is Europe, the sea of ​​stars!"

"Yes, let those Galaxy Battleships, Greenwood Hollywood, Dream Team, etc. all stay under our feet. We just want to step on the corpses of this group of traditional giants and achieve unprecedented ambitions. !"
