I firmly believe that Neymar is in the Saints and in Bielsa. Under the adjustment, he can make great progress. I firmly believe that he will become the core force of the Brazilian national team."

Ronaldinho, who has two or three million Twitter fans, also said, "If you want to ask me which team is the most attractive to me in the new season? I will choose Southampton without hesitation. I am very I look forward to what a pleasing offensive football that this League One team with two world-class stars, Ibrahimovic and Neymar, can bring to fans."

Kaka, who has nearly seven million fans, expressed his blessings to Neymar on Twitter.

In addition to these three Brazilian superstars, there are also some other football celebrities, such as Zidane, Nedved, Diego Forlan and other stars who have reposted or replied on Twitter.

Of course, there are indispensable ones. For example, Pele said in an interview with Brazilian media that he is very optimistic about Neymar’s move to Southampton. He believes that Neymar should stay in the country and continue to improve himself, not prematurely. Go to the European league to make money.

But as soon as Bailey's remarks were posted online, they immediately aroused ridicule from netizens.

"Usually, what Bailey said, we should look upside down."

"I can finally rest assured that Neymar will succeed in Southampton."

"Pele, I want to ask you, how much money did Neymar give you and bribe you to speak ill of him?"

When Neymar’s switch to Southampton caused a strong earthquake in South American football and European football, the WeChat team was also actively expanding its territory, including Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Balotelli , Diego Fran and other stars have announced the opening of WeChat star accounts.

And Neymar’s press conference made the newly launched mood stamps very popular.

WeChat also announced that all fans following the Neymar star account can use a set of Neymar mood stamps for free.

Fans of 　　 Ibrahimovic can also try Ibrahimovic’s mood stamp for free.

This makes the mood stamp seem to become a label for celebrity fans, and immediately caused a round of fanatical pursuit on the Internet.

Especially in Brazil, the super popularity of Neymar, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Kaka has pushed the number of registered WeChat accounts to a new peak.

Neymar’s star account was registered for one day, and the total number of followers worldwide reached 350,000, and the growth rate was amazing.

In addition, Kaka's following fans reached 330,000 in one day, just behind Neymar.

Ronaldo and Ronaldinho are slightly less popular, but they are not much more popular, basically more than 250,000.

When the whole world was shocked by Neymar’s switch to a League One team, the British national television BBC grandly launched the ace program, a special program for the daily game, Saint Southampton!

Many people say that the daily competition has been nearly fifty years old, and there has been a decline. Although Gary Lineker is supporting it, it has gradually failed to keep up with the pace of this era, and the ratings have also declined.

But this time, the BBC is determined to break the traditional characteristics of the past. Except for the host is still Gary Lineker, among the invited guests, only Alan Shearer, because he is a former England superstar from Southampton .

In addition, the program team invited Southern Echo reporter Xia Lin Laheri to record this program together.

When Charlene Lahry, a stunning beauty with long blonde hair, appeared in front of the TV screen, the director immediately gave her a big close-up on the camera, especially her unadorned face, which she hates to connect. The pores that are almost invisible to the naked eye are photographed.

This scene made all the audience in front of the TV marvel at the delicate skin.

At this moment, countless otaku otaku began to search for the name typed at the bottom of the screen.

No Twitter, no Facebook, only WeChat.

In less than a minute, Charlene Laheri’s WeChat account fans increased by more than a thousand.

After a short introduction with a strong rhythm, the show officially entered the theme.

"I believe everyone is very surprised and very strange. We have also seen that on the Internet and in the newspapers, everyone is arguing. Why would Ibrahimovic and Neymar choose Southampton?"

Gary Lineker is the host of the show. He had talked with Roger Moses before and clearly mastered this special program to completely overthrow the previous program tradition and create a new style of special program.

This is an attempt to inject a fresh air into the fifty-year-old daily competition.

"Alan Shearer, you used to be the top star player, what do you think of this issue?"

Alan Shearer always feels that he is not good at talking in this show.

"I have been thinking about this problem myself, and like everyone else, I am more confused. I think there must be something in Southampton worth pursuing by these stars."

Gary Lineker was a little disappointed with Alan Shearer’s answer, but immediately turned to Charlene Laheri.

This stunningly beautiful reporter was met by Barbara Slater while following Southampton, and she was amazing at first sight. The festival also urged Gary Lineker to push Charlene Laherit more. .

"As an important media in Southampton, the reporter who has been following Southampton for a long time, Charlene Laherit, what do you think?"

Charlene Laheri appeared in front of the camera again, still a standard close-up, and even the amber eyeballs were clearly visible, which immediately made her the number of fans skyrocketed again in the next minute. More than a thousand people.

"Perhaps many people are surprised, but I personally think that this is a very normal choice."

"Why?" Gary Lineker likes this amazing topic.

"First of all, you may not be very familiar with Southampton because he is in the League of Legends. But as far as I know, since Southampton was acquired in late July, it has always been the focus of the media and fans, even Before the acquisition, it was already a topic."

Gary Lineker laughed after hearing this, "Do you think this is a conscious propaganda plan?"

"I don't think it is conscious, but I want to emphasize that this club is the team that values ​​the Internet channel the most among all the clubs I have seen, and all of us know that the Internet has gradually replaced it. The traditional media industry, whether it's newspapers, magazines, or even TV stations."

"In the past, the Premier League did not sell online copyrights separately, but now, according to the latest official data from the Premier League, the future broadcast rights of the Premier League will be divided into three major parts, the British local, overseas and Internet copyrights. ."

"The Internet copyright has grown the fastest, so we have every reason to believe that professional football is rapidly entering the Internet age!"

Lineker nodded, "I agree with you that this team really values ​​the Internet very much, and even their star joining press conferences are arranged on WeChat, but how to explain this team's sudden fire? Now? How to explain that Ibrahimovic and Neymar are willing to join Southampton?"

Charlene Laheri smiled slightly, this charming smile once again caused her WeChat fans to skyrocket.

"First of all, I must say that these seem to be two things, but they are actually one thing."

"In the past, traditional media controlled news dissemination channels. Fans who wanted to watch games and get to know the stars could only use traditional channels such as newspapers, TV and magazines, and these channels would inevitably devote all resources to the most news. The field of value, there is no doubt that the top leagues, the Premier League and the Champions League, and even the top giants such as Manchester United!"

Lineker and Alan Shearer nodded again and again, which is indeed the norm in traditional media.

"But the rise of the Internet has broken these. I remember many Premier League teams are saying that now there are fewer and fewer young people willing to enter the stadium to watch the game, and fewer and fewer young people like football, but they are Never thought about why."

"This is the Internet age. I used to go to the ticket window to buy a ticket for a long time, but now I sit at home, download a mobile app, and pay easily, and then go again when the time is about."

"Young people refuse to enter the stadium to watch the game, not because they don’t like football, but because they don’t want to enter the stadium. They don’t want to line up for a long time to watch a game, let alone go. See some people who don’t know or are unfamiliar playing football."

"Young people now like to participate and are eager to know what the star who is following on their mobile phone is doing and thinking. So when Ibrahimovic was in the third round of League One, he said on WeChat that this round When he was unable to play, Southampton fans put up banners in the stands to encourage the Swedish center."

"So, when Southampton decided to hold a press conference on the WeChat platform, so that all interested people could participate in it through WeChat in their smartphones, young people were eager to watch the show and put forward themselves. A lot of strange questions."

"But for these problems, UU reading www.uukānshu.com allows them to better understand what kind of person the player in front of them is, and they can also get a sense of participation from them. After these people participate, they will be on WeChat. Posting your thoughts and opinions on social tools such as, Twitter and Facebook is tantamount to a free promotion for Southampton."

Lineker nodded again in agreement, "Miss Laheri, you have solved some of our doubts and let us know clearly why Southampton is so popular. Do you think this marketing model of Saints will continue? ?"

"Yes, it will!" Charlene Laheri was very convinced of this.

Because Yang Huan confirmed to her personally.

"I got some inside information from some sources. Southampton is only in the trial phase this season, but the progress is very good at the moment. Season tickets are sold out. Unlike in the past, the season ticket holders have 5%. Sixteen are women and young people under twenty-five."

"I heard that they are studying that the next season may lower the ticket price and attract more fans to the stadium. Not only that, they are also planning to build a brand new top stadium in Southampton."

"Wait!" Lineker stretched out his hand. "Miss Laheri, I was also very excited when I heard this news, but I would like to ask, with the finances of Southampton, Ibrahimovic, Neymar and other superstars have to build new training bases, new stadiums, and further reductions in ticket prices. I don’t really understand.”

Alan Shearer also looked concerned, "Yes, I'm very surprised, how do they maintain the management and operation of the team?"
