Chapter 964： Super saint

"Hey, Harry!"

When the owner of Saint Harry's bar, Lees Nose Harry passed the Glory Plaza security room, and the security guard standing at the door smiled and greeted him. He was among the Saints fans, but he was a celebrity.

Especially the Saint Harry's Bar he founded, which was in the club's official magazine.

"Hi, you are on duty this morning."

"Yes."

After greeting each other, Harry quickly passed the security check in the security room, got on the bridge, and went straight to the artificial island.

It was still early at this time, and the shops in the Glory Plaza had not yet opened for business. They did not start until around noon at the earliest, so the huge Glory Plaza seemed very empty.

As soon as Harry walked into the Glory Square, a van parked at the entrance of the staff passage, as if loading goods.

At first, he thought it was for the delivery, but gradually he didn't feel right.

Because he is the keeper of Southampton, Paul.

"Strange, what's the matter?" Harry was a little puzzled.

He is a very curious person, especially at this sensitive time, so he walked in the direction of the truck.

"Hey, Paul!"

Paul heard the voice, turned around, Harry, and immediately laughed, "So it's you, Harry."

"What's the matter?" Harry walked over and found that he was loading goods.

But what is even more puzzling is that the goods loaded by the stadium staff are nothing but the turf of the stadium.

"Hehe, you know, the turf also has a lifespan. The stadium needs to be replaced with a new batch of turf."

Harry said, there is nothing fuss about.

Southampton’s style of play pays attention to smooth passing and receiving, and the requirements for the turf are very high, so the glory stadium also attaches great importance to the maintenance and replacement of the turf, which is not surprising.

"How long will it take to change?" Harry asked casually.

The replaced turf is said to be useful and will be sent to some places in need for free.

"Well, usually, it will be faster, but this time it will be longer."

"Why?" Harry was a little strange. "The weather has been nice these days."

"It has nothing to do with the weather!" Paul said with a smile, "The above has already notified that there will be activities on the Glory Stadium in a few days, and the turf is not going to be laid for the time being. I will wait until the activities are over."

"There is activity?" Harry was taken aback.

It is actually quite normal to arrange activities on the football field.

For example, Wembley Stadium is often leased to people to hold rugby games, or to hold concerts and concerts.

But the Glory Stadium has not been rented out yet.

"What big man is coming? What kind of activity?"

"You don't know?" Paul raised his brow and smiled slightly.

"How do I know..." Harry was taken aback when he said this, "Could it be that..."

"You said, I didn't say it!" Paul laughed loudly, "Probably you will be notified in the next two days."

Harry stood there in disbelief, and the staff used an electric car to send the piles of turf out of it and loaded it into the truck, a little bit stunned.

Messi is coming!

He really is coming!

The strongest superstar in the world is about to join Southampton!

An unprecedented feeling of happiness enveloped Harry, this feeling did not even exist when Ibrahimovic joined the team that year.

You know, at the time, the Swedish center, although powerful, just encountered a Waterloo in Barcelona.

But Messi is completely different now. He is truly the world's number one superstar, at the peak of his career.

Moreover, Ibrahimovic's strength and personal image are not as good as Messi.

"Paul, can you tell me what is the specific situation?" Harry quickly grabbed Paul's hand and asked.

"Uh...I am not very clear about the specific situation. I only know that the club intends to hold an unveiling ceremony, and that is, all fans with club season tickets and memberships can enter the Glory Stadium for free."

After a pause, Paul added: "It is said that when the time comes, the entire Glory Plaza will also cooperate with the promotion, and you will be notified soon."

Harry nodded, of course.

Messi’s joining ceremony will not know how many fans will attract.

If Glory Plaza doesn't know how to take this opportunity to cooperate with publicity activities, wouldn't the management of the square be sprayed to death by merchants' saliva?

If Paul’s information is not wrong, that is to say, as long as the fans with the club’s season ticket and membership can enter the stadium for free, first come first served.

In other words, whoever comes first will be able to grab the front row.

At the thought of this, Harry burned.

He is not doing it for himself, because he is here. Isn't it easy to get a good position?

The key is that his fans will!

"Can't say any more, Harry, I have to go in to work!" Paul patted Harry on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Paul, I will invite you to drink a week later, for free!" Harry said with a smile.

Paul suddenly laughed. This lees-nosed guy always bribes with wine, but I like it!

On the way back to the bar, Harry had already begun to figure out in his mind that he must pass this news to the fans of his fan club as soon as possible, and let those fans who do not have memberships but want to participate in the Messi debut ceremony. Hurry up to apply for membership.

…………

…………

A fiery red Aston Martin successor drove past Southampton Ring Road.

Passing through the former site of the original St. Mary's Stadium, it was razed to the ground not long ago.

When I arrived at the Royal Wharf, I quickly found a position in the internal parking lot and got in.

He heard a creak of the brakes, and the car stopped safely.

A young British man in his early thirties, wearing a neat suit and tie, got out of the car.

After tweeting twice, after locking the door, he stepped on his shiny leather shoes and walked towards the Glory Square.

If there is no special reason, no one can drive into Glory Plaza. This is the rule established by Southampton.

When he passed the security gate, he showed his ID, swiped it, green light, and passed.

He is the president of Citibank's Southampton branch and the youngest branch president in Greater London.

Just like the city he was in, it was the morning sun rising in the morning, about to shine.

It was still early, but after he passed the bridge, the gate of Harry's Bar was full of people.

Not only that, a long line of people also extended to the door of the Citibank business hall.

Uh, no, it should be extended from the gate of the Citibank business hall.

what happened?

Jamie Crowder walked over quickly and came to the gate of the business hall.

The door has been opened, but the black security guard of the bank guarded the door like a big enemy, not letting anyone in, and always answered inquiries, "Excuse me, it’s not business hours, please wait. ."

Then there was a complaint in the crowd.

"Hey, Jordan, what's the situation?" Jamie Crowder asked, frowning as he walked over.

"Hey, Mr. Crowder!" Jordan, the black security guard, nodded and saluted immediately.

"That's right, they are all fans of Southampton and are ready to apply for fan membership cards."

The fan membership card, a credit card used by Southampton to count fan points, was launched by the Saints in cooperation with Citibank. All fans have one card. It is a real-name system and cannot be resold or loaned. It is a certificate for Saints fans.

"Get a membership card?" Jamie Crowder frowned.

Of course he knows what the membership card is. This is something he and the Southampton club worked together. For this reason, he is still greatly admired at the headquarters.

Except for the period when it was just launched, although there are usually many people to do it, when will it be like now?

This long line of people almost lined up on the bridge, there are hundreds of people, let alone?

"Eh, you belong to the bank?" A fan in the front line, wearing a Saints jersey, obviously respected by the black security team Jamie Crowder, asked aloud.

"Yes, I am the branch president, Jamie Crowder."

"Oh, hello, Mr. Crowder!" The fan was also very polite. "But, can you please start business as soon as possible."

"Why are there so many people?" Jamie Crowder was a little strange.

"Don't you know?" The player was a little surprised.

Not only him, but many people around him were equally surprised.

It feels like, not knowing is a rather outrageous thing.

"What the hell?" Jamie Crowder was a little embarrassed, he didn't want to be looked at like this.

"Messi's debut ceremony, as long as you have a membership or a season pass, you can enter for free."

Jamie Crowder was taken aback, what else?

The long dragon lined up in front of him couldn't help but smile inwardly.

He would never have thought that Messi still has such an attraction.

You know, this is just a joining ceremony.

According to what they said, it is estimated that Southampton tickets will become extremely popular.

"Mr. Crowder, can you trouble you to start business as soon as possible. There are more and more people now, and there will be more later."

"Yeah, we arrived first when we received the news. Others will definitely come later, when there will be more people."

"Isn't it? Hurry up, let's do it first. When I look back, I have to think about how to spend and earn points."

"Messi really joined, and he will definitely join in the new season!"

"Not? I just want Messi to join, how strong our team is!"

"In the future, we will be super saints, we will kill the gods when we meet the gods, and we will kill the Buddhas when we meet the Buddha!"

A group of Southampton fans talked about the prospect of Messi joining, and they were all overjoyed.

Jamie Crowder is a bit distressed. It is definitely not possible to open business early, but now there are indeed more and more people, and he hastened to ask for help from the City of London.

However, before asking for help, Jamie Crowder did not forget to call Southampton and asked about Messi's joining ceremony without complaint. As a result, he did not expect that the Saints were also innocent.

"We originally just wanted to attract season tickets and member fans to participate but we don’t know where the news went. As a result, the news was spread ten or ten, so now we all know the news, let alone Southampton. Yeah, even people from London and even other cities in the UK are coming here one after another, just like going to a market during a festival."

Jamie Crowder accepted the explanation and apology from Southampton, and it is estimated that they are indeed unwilling to have this situation.

It can only be said that who can imagine that Messi’s joining ceremony is still so attractive to ordinary fans?

It is estimated that by then, the entire Glory Plaza will be crowded again.

The number one superstar in the world is still the number one superstar in the world after all!

At least Cristiano Ronaldo of Tottenham Hotspur has joined without such great momentum and battle.

Even North London this time attracted more than 30,000 people to the White Hart Lane Stadium.

But compared with Messi, it is still a lot inferior.
