Chapter 237 I'm so mad!

"Evidence? I wonder if this evidence is strong enough?"

Yang Huan forwarded a Youtu.be video on his WeChat.

This was a press conference held by Nike in the United States, solemnly introducing the cooperation between Nike and Southampton.

It was mentioned that Nike will spend 30 million pounds to build a virtual training center for Southampton.

No one knows what the virtual training center is.

But it sounds extremely high-end and classy.

As soon as all the netizens saw this video, they went wild.

“It turns out to be true!”

"Wow, Southampton is really awesome this time!"

"It's just shocking, what on earth is that virtual training center?"

"It sounds very high-tech. I'm curious too!"

"Southampton is unique in that they are sponsored by both Nike and Adidas."

"Wow, I'm a saint. I'm proud!"

Soon, the Saints fans came to the door and found Gerard Pique.

"Hey, Sausage Lip Pick, do you think this evidence is strong enough?"

"It seems that your friend who is in charge of the Spanish region did not tell you the truth!"

"You've been tricked, you know that? Idiot!"

"If I were you, I would be so ashamed that I would commit suicide!"

"Master Huan slapped us too hard in the face. He didn't give us Barcelona Pikenbauer any face at all!"

"As the world's top central defender, I, Gerard Pique, swear to lick Southampton's chops from now on!"

"There's a saying that's right, you really can't be too Pique!"

"Pique, as a die-hard Barcelona fan, I want to say that you have ruined Barcelona's reputation!"

"The shame of Catalonia, just commit suicide by disembowelment!"

Faced with overwhelming condemnation, Gerard Pique chose to remain silent.

But reporters and the media refused to let him off so easily.

The next day, countless reporters even rushed to Pique's doorstep and blocked him there, just to interview Gerard Pique and ask him how he felt.

But this rich second-generation Barcelona man who is usually very unscrupulous is now hiding at home and refuses to go out.

As the person in charge, Yang Huan was unwilling to give up easily and soon launched another killing move.

"As the owner of Southampton, I feel the need to make further clarifications."

"Gerard Pique said that all the stars who joined Southampton were depreciating and their value was shrinking. I will provide some evidence, and everyone can just watch the fun."

"Just to be clear, I rejected these offers without hesitation!"

Yang Huan's so-called evidence was just some pictures, which turned out to be the photos of the legendary transfer fax that countless fans had heard of for a long time but had never seen.

In these photos with a lot of mosaics, you can clearly see that a team has offered a high price of 50 million euros for Neymar, which is much higher than when Southampton introduced Neymar a year ago.

Neuer's value has also increased, with the asking price reaching 30 million euros.

In addition, Carvajal, who has already secured his position as the main player on the right side last season, and left-back David Alaba are both worth more than 10 million, and main central defender Benatia is worth as much as 20 million.

From this quotation, everyone can clearly see that the value of Southampton players has not dropped, but has increased!

And this was just someone else's offer, Southampton didn't agree to it at all.

If the player really wants to transfer, his value must be higher than the offer price.

This made the Saints fans happy.

Many fans rushed to Pique's Twitter with evidence to refute him and wanted to ask him what he actually said.

One fan even made a flyer and posted it on Pique's doorstep.

It’s so embarrassing!

It’s too cruel!

This made many media in Catalonia and Barcelona fans begin to sympathize with Pique.

After all, this guy just has a big mouth.

When a Spanish reporter interviewed Yang Huan about this matter and asked whether the Southampton fans were going too far, Yang Huan supported the Southampton supporters without hesitation.

"If this is too much, then what about Gerard Pique's previous remarks?"

"His words and deeds on Twitter have always been arrogant, and he always looks like he needs to be punished. He spread rumors about us before, saying he had inside information. Well, show us, where is your inside information?"

"He said our stars were devalued, which was a malicious rumor and hurtful to us, but I showed him the facts to prove it. Will he apologize? Has he come out to take responsibility for his words and deeds?"

"This incident is just a lesson for him. Let him learn to keep his mouth shut in the future!"

In fact, the Daily Sports also reported it.

Barcelona management also gave Gerard Pique an internal warning, believing that some of his words and deeds damaged the club's image and asked him to pay attention to his words and deeds in the future.

But this incident made more people notice that Southampton’s supporters are increasing day by day.

Who would have thought that there are so many Saints fans in Catalonia?

The whole Gerard Pique incident was just a sideshow.

After Southampton signed Adidas and Nike successively, the team's style was immediately raised, and there were obviously more big-name sponsors coming to them than before.

This was also what Yang Huan expected, but he still asked Sun Yue to make the team more prestigious and raise the sponsorship fee. After all, to become a famous team, they must have the demeanor of a famous team.

At the very least, it shouldn't give people a petty feeling, right?

So, generally speaking, Southampton has no interest in discussing sponsorships below three million pounds.

This further caused media reporters to follow suit and hype the incident.

But the problem is that sponsors still come knocking on the door.

What can we do?

"Boss, Drogba wants to meet you."

On the Eclipse yacht in London's Canary Wharf, head waiter Marina Granovskia said with a sad face.

A few days ago, Drogba's agent made a shocking revelation in front of the media, which put Chelsea in a very passive position.

Abramovich was furious and scolded her, even...

"You are such a loser. You can't even do a small thing. What's the point of keeping you around?"

It's too much to use this word to insult a woman.

Abramovich's roar still lingered in Granovskia's ears.

As the saying goes, one who eats someone's food will be soft-hearted, and one who receives someone's gifts will be oblig

If you want to hold on to this thick thigh, you have to swallow your anger.

"No!" Abramovich responded bluntly.

When I mention Drogba, I think of the hateful Yang Huan, and my mood becomes unhappy.

Damn it, losing a top center to him for no reason, how can he swallow this?

"But he refused to go to Southampton until it was made clear to him."

As soon as Granovskia finished speaking, there was a bang.

Abramovich slammed the table and stood up, causing the bottle of red wine and the wine glass on the table on the top floor of the yacht to fall onto the deck and break into pieces.

Granovsky's heart trembled, he was startled, looked at his boss's gloomy eyes, and immediately lowered his head.

"Not going? Is it up to him to decide?" Abramovich said in a bad tone.

Granovsky didn't dare say anything more.

Having followed Abramovich for so many years, she knew better than anyone that speaking at this time would only bring disaster.

A close friend should not do such boring things.

"Don't think that he can rely on the fact that some fans like him, or even want to influence the team's decision-making. He doesn't deserve it!"

By the end, Abramovich was a little angry.

What he hated most in his life was subordinates who disobeyed his wishes.

What happened to Drogba?

Isn't he just a star player?

Without me giving him salary and bonus, would he be where he is today?

What? Now that you have grown strong, you are starting to want to rebel?

Does he have this ability?

Granovskia still kept his head down, not daring to speak or look up, but just stood there silently, listening.

"Go, tell Drogba immediately, he only has two choices!"

Granovskia immediately memorized it carefully and remembered it well.

"Either he reports to Southampton, or he'll sit on the bench at Chelsea for the rest of the year!"

Abramovich said at the end, with a fierce look on his face.

It was obvious that he wasn't kidding.

Drogba has one year left on his contract.

But for a 33-year-old veteran, not playing a game for a year is almost the same as retiring.

After all, once such a veteran's form cools down, it is basically impossible to regain it.

"I'll remember that!" Granovskia nodded in agreement.

"It's just... the fans..."

Seeing Abramović's cold eyes again, she immediately swallowed back the rest of her words.

After a few seconds of silence, Abramovich began to change the subject.

He didn't want to dwell on Drogba's affairs.

"What has Yang Huan done recently?"

Granovskia looked up at his boss's expression and when he felt that he was ready to speak, he spoke.

"Southampton has been making big moves recently. First, they signed a five-year sponsorship of 30 million pounds with Adidas..."

"What?" Abramovich stood up suddenly, his face full of shock.

"Thirty million pounds? Five years?"

Granovskia was a little nervous, but nodded, "Yes, it has been officially announced."

"What the hell is our team's marketing department doing? A Championship team that only won one FA Cup had a sponsorship fee of 30 million pounds a year. But what about us? How many championships have we won and how much is our sponsorship fee?"

Faced with Abramovich's thunderous anger, Granovskaia did not dare to take over the conversation.

So far, Chelsea has signed a sponsorship contract with Adidas with an annual sponsorship fee of 10 million pounds.

It's just that in the last two years, the Blues have been hoping to improve the contract.

But the price Chelsea offered was only 20 million pounds.

Why did Southampton get 30 million pounds in sponsorship fees?

Abramovich doesn't care about the 20 million pounds, but he can't swallow this humiliation.

Damn, comparing yourself to others is really frustrating.

Why is Southampton worth 30 million while Chelsea is only worth 10 million?

Why?

"Tell Ron Gourlay that the contract renewal negotiations with Adidas are suspended!"

Granovskia raised his head sharply. Pause?

This has been discussed for almost a year, and now we are calling for a pause?

But now Abramovich was very angry and she didn't dare to say anything more.

She even wished Ron Gourlay would die sooner rather than later.

In this way, she will also have more power and opportunities.

"Go on."

Granovskia looked at his boss again before continuing.

"Southampton has also signed a contract with Nike, which has decided to invest £30 million to help Southampton build a virtual training center at its Staplewood training base."

"30 million? Virtual training center? Nike?"

Abramovich lost his voice again.

He wondered if he had heard it wrong.

Adidas has just sponsored Southampton, and now Nike is giving them money again?

Oh my god, my heart!

After a few rapid breaths, Abramovich felt a pain in his heart.

He felt the blood in his body rushing up and rushing to his head, and he was shaking with anger.

Are Nike and Adidas both fucking crazy?

Why are you all supporting Southampton?

A few years ago, when I spent nearly 100 million to build the Cobham training base, I didn’t see you guys supporting me so hard!

But now, you all are running to cling to the support of a newly promoted team in the Championship?

I'm so mad!

I am so mad!!
