Chapter 248 Beat Chelsea, let me go!(1/2)
"Do you know who is coming today?"
In the waiting hall of Heathrow Airport, a group of familiar reporters gathered together to chat.
There is still half an hour left, and it is still early, chat and kill time.
Most people shook their heads, only the Sun reporter nodded.
"I've investigated it, and at 9:25 this morning, a plane from Spain landed at Heathrow Airport."
Now everyone's eyes looked at the Sun reporter very differently.
It seems that even if you are a paparazzi, smart people still take advantage of it.
"Spain? Could it be Xavi Martinez?"
"It must be, didn't the Spanish media report before?"
There are no airtight walls in this world.
This is even more true in the transfer market.
Since the end of last season, the entire transfer market has been hyping up various transfer rumors.
The media also wishes to spread more news about this kind of thing, thereby promoting sales.
Therefore, sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
"Is this Harvey Martinez really that strong?" a reporter asked curiously.
"Who knows?"
"I heard that Barcelona and Real Madrid also think he is good. As the captain, he led the Spanish U21 to win the championship in Denmark. His performance is indeed quite good. He has a defensive midfielder and good ability to take balls and shoot balls."
"It seems quite in line with the outside world's positioning of Southampton's midfield defects."
A football lineup is like a puzzle, and the players are one of the pieces on this puzzle.
The Southampton midfielder lacks a drag-back midfielder, which is already a consensus last season.
Now, the introduction of Harvey Martinez is undoubtedly just enough to fill out this vacancy.
The strength of Athletic Bilbao's midfielder may not be very outstanding, but first of all, he is a Spanish international.
These days, the Spanish internationals are like their local household registration books, with an additional attribute aura.
"It seems that Southampton really plans to do a big game in the new season!"
"Who said no?"
"But this team has made too much money. So far, the seller has sold about 75 million pounds. The sponsorship fee of Adidas is 30 million pounds. In addition to Heineken and the sponsorship of Kelone Family, the income is amazing."
"I heard the news before and heard that they were going to recruit members."
“Member? What member?”
“A thousand core saints members.”
"Just one thousand people?"
"Yes, not much, not much, exactly one thousand."
"Wow, aren't you going to snatch it crazy?"
Who doesn’t know that Southampton is developing the most powerfully in the world today?
Especially in the eyes of the younger generation, supporting Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and so on is considered Ultra.
If young people do not support Southampton, they will not be able to keep up with the times.
"It shouldn't."
"Why?"
Everyone looked over curiously.
The person who spoke was a reporter from the Southern Echo, and he obviously enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by his peers and questioning him.
"I also heard that although there are only one thousand members in Southampton, the membership fee is very amazing, up to one hundred thousand pounds."
"What?"
"Hundred thousand pounds?"
"You're stupid!"
"How is that possible!"
Almost everyone expressed surprise in unison, and shook their heads.
"Do you know how much is the membership fee for Manchester United?"
“Thirty-two pounds!”
"Do you know how much the membership fee is for Real Madrid and Barcelona?"
"One hundred and fifty euros and one hundred and thirty-seven euros!"
"Southampton wants to recruit members, which is understandable, but the membership fee is as high as 100,000 pounds. This is already the annual fee for the most advanced VIP private room in the Arsenal Emirates Stadium. Who is so stupid to join Southampton as a member?"
"That's right, even if you are stupid, you don't have such a stupid way."
"From my opinion, the rich second generation in Southampton is not short of money, but he thinks that people all over the world are like him and are not short of money."
"I dare say that no one will give it to the membership fee of 100,000 pounds!"
"Yes, whoever gives it to anyone is an idiot!"
The young reporter from Southern Echo News smiled bitterly, and he just talked about some gossip he had inquired about.
"However, I heard that Prince William and his wife seemed to be joining the association."
As soon as these words were said, everyone was surprised again.
"What?"
"How is that possible?"
"Do they have the money to join?"
Everyone said everything, and almost everyone questioned this.
But it is undeniable that they were all surprised.
Amazing membership fees, a thousand limits, plus Prince William and his wife, this gimmick is so powerful!
From the perspective of news practitioners, not hyping up hype is really a bad professional ethics.
Just at this moment, I don’t know who it was, so I shouted in the waiting hall.
"Look, people are coming out!"
For a moment, the fans and reporters in the waiting hall were like ants that had been stabbed, and were in chaos.
Everyone rushed to the gate.
Soon, I saw the tall Harvey Martinez slowly walked out of the airport gate accompanied by his agent and brother. As soon as they appeared, the entire waiting hall was in full swing.
"Have, look here!"
"Harvey Martinez, look here, I'm from The Times!"
"I'm from BBC TV. Can I accept our interview?"
"Can you tell me why you chose to join Southampton?"
"I want to ask, how much money Southampton has given you to choose to play in the Championship?"
"Tell me, do you think joining Southampton has a future?"
The reporters rushed up, and the fans who were originally waiting around were squeezed and immediately resisted.
The entire airport gate suddenly became a mess.
Harvey Martinez and the other two were obviously stunned.
Too crazy, right?
I joined Southampton, not a big team.
Why are these reporters and these fans so crazy?
Looking at the agent and brother beside him, Harvey Martinez's eyes cast doubts.
Are you sure I join the Championship team?

"BBC TV's midday news report."
"At 9:25 this morning, Spanish international Xavi Martinez arrived at Heathrow Airport. He will go to Southampton to join the traditional powerhouse Saints Southampton."
"At that time, thousands of fans gathered at Heathrow Airport and more than 100 reporters from afar, which caused a commotion on the scene. In the end, the airport security guards had to go out in groups, so they could barely maintain order on the scene."
