Chapter 921： Our goal is the stars and the sea!

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

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

"Of course!" Special guest Les Reid in a neat suit nodded and said yes.

"What are the transfer plans for Southampton this summer?"

"Our transfer plan has always been 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 youths. Rookie."

"This season, Pogba and Kovacic have gradually provoked important midfield duties. Harry Kane is the top scorer in the Premier League. Martial's performance is also quite amazing. Ravel Morrison, S Turic and other players are as good as ever."

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

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

Les Reid nodded, "This statement is normal, Real Madrid's defense is not good, Barcelona's defense is also problematic, is Bayern Munich's defense okay? Our current defense against the team, and this batch Defensive player, very satisfied."

"Varane's performance this season proves 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 performance is also It’s worth looking forward to, so we don’t think there will be any problems with the team’s defense."

"Then you mean, the defense line will not sign up this year?"

"No, no, no, I didn't say that!" Les Reid shook his head immediately, "I mean, we signed up not because the players were not performing well, but just to strengthen the team's lineup."

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

"Hmm..." Les Reid nodded, "This is indeed one of the options we considered."

"Ok, then let's continue to the next question!" Charlene Laheri smiled slyly, as if she had seen the excitement of fans watching the video.

Stones, the most outstanding local defender in the Premier League this season, once allowed Chelsea to pursue a summer without it.

It was Charlene Laheri and her off the court who took the lead in revealing the truth.

It turned out that Stones was loaned to Everton in Southampton.

At that time, this incident also caused a huge response in the British football. All the talents were surprised to understand why Chelsea could not buy Stones.

But now, Charlene Laherit’s question clearly made Les Reid reveal a hint that the Saints will recall Stones to strengthen the defense.

This will undoubtedly be a great pleasure for Saints fans.

"Some fans asked me to ask you, Les, what do you think of Messi?"

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

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

Les Reid was a little embarrassed, but did not answer.

"Could you tell me, have the Saints ever thought of introducing Messi?"

"Uh...this...for the time being, I have no news about this."

Charlene Laherit smiled, “But as far as I know, your scout team had contact with Messi’s team. The location was after Barcelona’s 2-0 away game against Elva, when Messi scored. After two balls, you seem to be testing his physical condition."

"No, there is absolutely no such thing!"

"Really not?" Charlene Lahiri raised her voice.

"No!" Les Reid denied again.

But his tone sounded, always giving people a feeling of guilty conscience, a little bit to cover up.

"Ok, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it, then I will ask you again. As far as I know, Messi's father has been to Southampton, and has already planned to find a house in Southampton, do you know?"

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

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

"Okay, but Messi has personally mentioned that if he leaves Barcelona, ​​the team he most wants to join will be 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 told me, it’s okay, how can I believe it?"

"I..." Les Reid was a little confused, "I don't believe it myself."

Charlene Laherit smiled, "Then you mean, admit that Southampton wants to buy Messi?"

"Yes, I want to buy it, but can we afford it?" Les Reid shook his head. "The media also said that Barcelona's offer was 250 million euros. We..."

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

"Yes, 200 million euros, my goodness, do you think we can get this money? Also, what is Messi's salary? 20 million euros, including the UK tax rate, we have to bear four The cost of tens of millions of euros, after this account is calculated, do you think we can afford it?"

After careful calculation, it seems that I can't afford it!

But who is Charlene Lahry?

"I have received news that Les, the Saints' shirt sponsor Nike will pay a portion of the transfer fee for the Saints and increase the sponsorship amount. The Saints will become the team with the highest shirt sponsorship in the world.

Les Reid showed a surprised look that you even knew about it.

"In addition, I have also received news that Qatar Airways is also willing to bear part of the transfer fee and increase the amount of sponsorship. It is expected that the two major sponsors will share a transfer fee of about 100 million euros for the Saints, plus other sponsors. And the partners of Glory Plaza, Southampton will raise nearly 150 million euros in funding."

Speaking of this, Charlene Laheri smiled slightly and said confidently: "That is to say, if the Saints really intend to introduce Messi, 150 million euros will be sent to the door on their own initiative. The saints only need to bear the rest."

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

"Probably, absolutely possible!"

Les Reid showed a depressed expression. You are so sure that I was speechless.

…………

When the whole Europe was hyping about whether Messi will leave Barcelona, ​​and which team he is most likely to switch to after he really leaves Barcelona, ​​the famous oily turtle football from the media program launched a new program.

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

What is unusual is that the special guest for this episode of the show is the technical director of Southampton, Les Reid.

At such a sensitive time, it is interesting to invite the technical director of Southampton.

As early as before the show was recorded, off-site was on his WeChat public platform, calling on all fans and users to express their views and raise various questions about Les Reid.

Adhering to the attitude that has always been off the court, Charlene Laheri did not disappoint. In the second half of the show, when she asked questions on behalf of the fans, she also fired repeatedly.

Especially in the final stage, when asked about Messi’s transfer, Les Reid was speechless, and it made all viewers and fans who watched the video hooked. Isn’t this just revealing the truth naked?

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

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

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

"Who said no? Look at the look of Les Reid, he must know the inside story, but he can't say that it is really embarrassing for him to be asked so hard!"

"Yes, but the lineup of the Saints is too outrageous, too luxurious!"

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

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

"Yes, don't cry for no reason? Your Uncle Wenger is all right!"

"You don’t know, I’m a **** gunner fan. Seeing today’s saints, think about our Gunners. We are also building stadiums. You built it. From the League to the Premier League, to the Champions League, you also took it by the way. Three Premier League champions and one Champions League champion."

"The same is building the stadium. You have built a huge star lineup, and now you have to hook up with Messi, but what about us? Building and building, we have built ourselves from the giants!"

"Uh... it seems really sad to hear this poor gunman elder brother say this."

"Isn't it? When talking about Arsenal and our great saint, I think the biggest difference is that we have a young master!"

"That's right, our young master Huan is a cow. The operational ability is called a bombardment. If nothing else, just this set of lineups, how many teams in Europe can we get together?"

"Isn't it? I always tell people that the lineup of Saints, if you throw out any substitute, is of tens of millions! Young Master Huan's ability is not acceptable!"

"Who said no? I want to say, our great saint can have today, it all depends on Master Huan!"

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

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

"Not? Compare Arsenal with us, cut!"

"Wow, Kaka, UU reading www.uukānshu.com, we also had a day of burying Arsenal. It's fun, fun!"

"Long live Master Huan!"

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

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

"More importantly, our fighting power is so powerful that we won't be invincible in the Premier League, and we have reached the Champions League."

"Think about all the tycoons in the Great Premier League, who are all supported by us, you say, is this so sour?"

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

"Yes, let those galaxy battleships, shaded Hollywood, dream team, whatever, all stay under our feet. We are going to step on the corpses of this group of traditional giants and achieve unprecedented ambitions. !"
