Chapter 967: Messi, you are finally here!

Name:Football Giants Author:Chen Aiting
"I am here to announce to everyone very proudly..."

In the press conference hall of the Glory Stadium, people are crowded with people.

Many reporters in the back row even moved their chairs to step their feet, and raised the camera in their hands one by one. The sound of flashing lights was even more audible, but no one spoke, all staring at the podium.

"... We Southampton officially signed Messi from Barcelona!"

Yang Huan in a suit and leather shoes stretched out his hand with a smile, "Let us use the warmest applause, welcome Leo!"

There was a thunderous cheer on the scene.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Messi walking into the press conference room with his iconic silly smile.

The spotlight was almost crazy, as if all reporters were afraid to miss Messi's every move.

Messi seemed to have been used to all this a long time ago, calmly stepped onto the podium, shook hands and hugged Yang Huan, and stood beside Yang Huan.

"He is a fantastic superstar and the greatest and best player on the planet. He did a great job in Barcelona. He conquered everyone. Now he will start playing for the Saints."

"It is not easy for us to run such a superstar transfer. Therefore, on behalf of the management, I thank everyone who participated in this transfer. At the same time, we also thank Barcelona and thank you for agreeing to Messi's transfer. !"

"Finally, on behalf of the Southampton management, I once again thank Messi for choosing Southampton. I want to say..."

Yang Huan turned around and looked at Messi, "Leo, no matter how many years later, you will be proud and proud of this wise choice today. Welcome to the saint!"

As Yang Huan and Messi shook hands again, there was another round of warm applause.

After Yang Huan finished speaking, Messi walked to the front and stood on the podium.

"Thank you very much, Master Huan, the club, and all the reporters and fans who came to welcome me."

Messi stood in front of the microphone with a serious face.

"Southampton has been the best and best team in European football in the past few years, but Young Master Huan came to Barcelona in person and he told me that I can make Southampton even better."

When Messi said this, he turned his head gratefully and glanced at Yang Huan.

"Joining the Premier League and joining Southampton is a big challenge for me. However, the support of Young Master Huan, the affirmation of the club, and the enthusiasm of the fans all make me confident that I can win this challenge."

"I hope to be able to give me a more exciting performance for the fans, the team, and my teammates in Southampton!"

With Messi’s speech, the audience burst into applause and cheers again.

Immediately afterwards, the two parties formally signed a professional contract under the witness of the media reporters and lawyers.

After Messi and Yang Huan signed their names respectively, the Argentine superstar will belong to Southampton in the next five years.

Countless reporters in the audience were excited to photograph this historic moment!

There is no doubt that Messi will be the biggest star ever to land in the Premier League!

He and Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Tottenham Hotspur earlier, will make the Premier League even more fascinating!

After signing the professional contract, Yang Huan represented Southampton and presented Messi with a Saints jersey for the new season.

This is Nike's new jersey tailored specifically for Southampton, but the designer is Christopher Bailey, the chief designer from the famous aristocratic luxury brand Asprey.

It is worth mentioning that this year the Saints still invited many designers to design jerseys, sportswear and casual wear for the Saints, and the annual Saints Fashion Show will be held in August.

The only difference is that the previous fashion shows have always been held in London and have received more attention year by year.

But this year, the fashion show will be held at the Glory Stadium in Southampton, which will also become very consistent with the theme.

After Messi received the jersey from Yang Huan, he immediately showed it to all reporters and media on the scene. Messi’s name and his number in Southampton were printed on the back of the jersey.

There is no doubt that he will wear the Saints' number ten jersey.

Although reporters on the scene are used to seeing all kinds of player joining ceremonies, they even witnessed Cristiano Ronaldo joining Tottenham Hotspur not long ago.

But at this moment, they still felt surging and very excited.

From now on, the two best superstars in the world will gather in the Premier League. They are bound to continue their competitive momentum in La Liga over the past few years, and they will decide the outcome in the Premier League.

Because, if nothing happens, this contract will be the last superstar contract of their career.

Judging from the joining ceremony, Messi benefited from the platform of the Saints and temporarily took the lead.

However, who wins and loses depends on the performance on the court in the new season.

Then began to enter the media question and answer session.

Messi also opened his heart this time and took the initiative to answer questions from almost all media reporters and fans.

Among them is the sensitive question of why he chose to leave Barcelona.

For these, Messi and his team are obviously well prepared, so they are very calm and comfortable.

Don't think that Messi is a good baby, as shy as the boy next door, and mistakenly think that he is not good at dealing with the media. In fact, this is an illusion.

Standing at the height of Messi, attracting the attention of the media all the time, how could you be bad at it?

Even if he wasn't good at it at first, he should get used to it over time.

Not to mention, there is a group of teams around him, dedicated to helping him deal with these things.

After the half-hour press conference ended, Messi left the venue under the watchful eyes of the media reporters and walked into the players' locker room.

And Yang Huan and the club's management went to the Glory Stadium.

At this time, the 60,000 fans in the audience, as well as the 100,000 fans watching the giant screen off the field, are already looking forward to it.

When Yang Huan led the crowd to appear, there was a sensation in the audience, and everyone shouted, "Master Huan! Master Huan!"

In the minds of Saints fans, Yang Huan's status is not lost to anyone, including the upcoming Messi!

Because if it weren't for him, the saints would never have today.

If it weren't for him, maybe the Saints are just a team in the third division of England.

In the minds of Saints fans, superstars and celebrities are certainly important and exciting.

But in this Southampton team, only one person is indispensable and an indispensable soul.

That is Master Huan!

Yang Huan smiled and walked onto the center stage amidst the shouts of all the fans, opening his arms towards the fans.

"Let's shout louder, let the whole world hear our voice, and feel the passion of our Saints fans!"

"bring it on!"

"what!!!!!!!"

There was a frantic cheer from the audience, deafening and earth-shattering.

The emotions of everyone on the scene were ignited in an instant.

"All Saints, we did it!"

"In the past few years, we have become the best team in the world, with three Premier League champions and two Champions League champions, we deserve it!"

There was another roar of cheers from the audience.

"But should we be satisfied?"

"Do not!"

"no way!"

Everyone in the audience rushed to answer.

"Yes!" Yang Huan pointed to the stands and smiled and praised, "Yes, we shouldn't be satisfied, because we can do better, better, and we can become stronger!"

"So, today, here, I am proud to announce to everyone that in the next five years, the world's number one superstar, Leo Messi, will be with us and fighting with us!"

In the end, Yang Huan's strong shouts through the radio were masked by the screams of crazy fans on the scene.

All the fans cheered frantically and shouted frantically.

Messi, you are finally here!

"Let us use the warmest applause and the most passionate cheers to welcome our...Messi!"

Following Yang Huan's request, he saw Messi, who had already put on a Saints jersey, appeared at the exit of the player channel.

In an instant, the emotions of all the fans in the audience burst.

"Messi! Messi! Messi!!!"

Not only the more than 60,000 people in the stadium, including the 100,000 people outside the stadium, are all shouting Messi.

The Argentine superstar hugged his son. Accompanied by his parents and his wife, he slowly stepped on the green carpet and walked into the stadium. After a small half circle, he walked onto the center stage.

During the whole process, the entire Glory Stadium became a boiling ocean.

When Messi stood still on the center stage, there was an incredible surprise and joy on his face.

Outside the stadium, he has felt the enthusiasm of the Saints fans, but inside the stadium, this feeling is even stronger.

Countless people were waving at him and cheering at him.

He hadn't spoken yet, but he had already attracted cheers like overwhelming waves, pouring down from the stands, sweeping the entire stadium.

At this moment, he was really moved!

He never imagined, or even dared to imagine, that he could be so loved by fans.

This made him tremble a little, grasping the microphone in front of him with both hands, and in a slightly trembling voice, said: "I swear, I swear, I will use everything I have to maintain the dignity of Southampton and repay. What you did for me today!"

"I love you, great saints!"

After speaking, Messi also grabbed the team badge on the chest of his shirt and kissed it hard.

More than 60,000 fans cheered in unison.

Dozens of broadcast stations and countless shots have captured Messi's move at this moment.

The big screens in the stadium and the giant screens on the outer wall of the stadium are all close-ups of Messi kissing the Saints logo.

Does this look like a show?

No one would say that, because with Messi’s character, a show would not be so realistic!

He could have not kissed the club's logo, no one would blame him for it, but he did.

More importantly, he did it because of his feelings!

At this moment, he conquered all Saints fans!

Yang Huan also laughed.

He found that Messi was sincere and moved from the heart.

Perhaps the reason why he is like this is more or less because of the unfair treatment he encountered in the Argentine national team.

Or maybe it was because he gradually lost the support of the club in the last two or three years in Barcelona.

Anyway, as long as he is sincere at this moment, that's enough!

After Messi kissed the team badge, he showed off his skills on the podium, especially in the interaction with several young players specially organized by the club. Messi's outstanding footwork was amazing.

It is worth mentioning that among the young players interacting with Messi, Gao Ren and Wang Lei from China are among them. In addition, there are stars of hope from the United Kingdom, Europe, South America and other regions, all of whom are Saints Youth Training.

After interacting with the youth training players, Messi, accompanied by Yang Huan, circled the stadium, went to the front of each stand, interacted with the fans who came to the scene, and thanked them.

And every time, the fans of the Saints also responded with the warmest applause and cheers.
