Chapter 57: Muzzle 1 to Manchester United

　　 Roger Moses sits in the office of the director of sports at BBC headquarters, playing with his mobile phone.
He is considered to be the first batch of registered WeChat users. It was three days before Ibrahimovic’s press conference. He learned from a text message of a reporter friend that there was such an application, so he downloaded it In the phone.
　　 With this play, he can't let go.
　　 He found that a lot of information spreads very fast on WeChat, and this app never crashes.
　　 In the past two days, there has been a vibe throughout the UK that Southampton will hold another press conference tomorrow.
　　 Same as Ibrahimovic’s previous game, it will still be placed on the WeChat platform.
　　 The difference is that this time they didn’t even say who the star to be introduced was.
　　 As the director of the sports department of BBC TV, Roger Moses has to admit that this is a premeditated news hype.
　　 and it’s something that has never been done before in football.
　　 Southampton brings the Internet to football!
　　叩叩～
　　 "Come in!" Roger Moses shouted after hearing the knock on the door.
　　 Barbara Slater, the program director of the Sports Department, came in.
　　 "We have just received news that Ferguson is bombarding Southampton in Manchester." Barbara Slater said as soon as he entered the door.
　　"Southampton was bombarded? Why?" Roger Moses put down his phone, looking strange.
　　Barbara Slater smiled, "I heard that Southampton used 2.5 million pounds to forcibly pick up the two talented rookies in Manchester United, Paul Pogba and Ravel Morrison."
　　 "That culprit?" Roger Moses was a little surprised.
Ravel Morrison’s talent is superb. Everyone who sees him playing will involuntarily marvel and praise him as a genius. But the problem is that this kid is born too complicated and has a weird personality. Going astray is a troublemaker.
　　 "Yes, didn't Ferguson transfer them to the youth team before? This time the management agreed to the transfer of £2.5 million in Southampton, which is said to have bypassed Ferguson, but who knows?"
Roger Moses listened, slapped his hands on the desk with excitement, and smiled gleefully, "Wow, the old Scottish man must be mad now, and what qualifications does he have to bombard others? A year ago, he was from Le Havre used this method to dig Paul Pogba forcibly?"
　　Barbara Slater also smiled and nodded, "You should know that he has always been like this."
　　 In the old Chinese saying, only state officials are allowed to set fires, and people are not allowed to light lights.
The relationship between the BBC and Ferguson and Manchester United has always been very bad. This is because the BBC filmed a documentary that exposed the inside story of Ferguson’s third son as an agent, who was in some of the transfer operations of Manchester United, which caused Manchester United. The indignation of the fans was then blocked by Ferguson.
　　 Since then, the BBC has never been able to obtain all first-hand information about Manchester United. Even in some official occasions, Ferguson will only arrange for the assistant coach to leave the country, just to avoid BBC TV.
　　 "Good guy, I got into Ferguson when I came to England, Southampton seems to be determined to do it!" Roger Moses was a little excited thinking about it.
　　 In recent years, English football has become more and more lively, especially with the influx of international capital into English football, it has made them all engaged in news and media work.
　　 At the very least, don’t worry about themes and topics that do not promote sales.
　　 "Since Ferguson is not happy, then we don't mind making him more angry!"
Roger Moses stood up with a smile, "Tonight’s news will extend the coverage of this transfer. By the way, I would like to introduce the ins and outs of Paul Pogba’s transfer last year and this year, as well as the introduction. Come to Southampton."
　　 After a pause, he glanced at this right-hand man who has been in the media for 20 or 30 years, "You should know how to do it?"
　　 "Understood!" Barbara Slater agreed with a smile.
　　Since there is no match with Ferguson, the enemy's enemy is a comrade-in-arms, and the muzzle must be the same!
　　 All the things that upset Ferguson, the BBC doesn't mind doing it.
"By the way, please contact us. Tomorrow Southampton will hold another WeChat press conference. Last time it attracted a lot of attention. This time we must pay attention to it. You send an application to Southampton and say Hope to cooperate and let us accompany them to film and report."
　　 "Inform Gary again, tomorrow night we will temporarily add a special program for the daily competition, focusing on Southampton!"
　　 Roger Moses clearly captured that Southampton’s use of the WeChat platform’s press conference has aroused considerable attention and repercussions among young people in the UK and even in Europe. It is very necessary for the BBC to respond to this.
　　 "Director, why do you value Southampton so much?" Barbara Slater was puzzled.
　　 There are so many teams in League One, even if Southampton was once a Premier League powerhouse, but that was how many years ago.
　　 If you really want to talk about influence, Southampton is also the result of a series of new methods of operation after the Chinese boss acquired the team this summer, as well as the successive large-scale operations in the transfer market.
The daily game is the BBC’s ace program, and it has a very important weight in the hearts of fans. The hosts include Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer, Alan Hansen and other former English football stars. They are generally It was broadcast on the evening of the Premier League and Champions League matches and other match days, and the ratings remained high.
　　 Although there are occasional special programs, they are usually after major events.
　　 Like Roger Moses, for a League One team, a special program was recorded, unprecedented.
Roger Moses is also aware of Barbara Slater’s doubts. She is the director of the program and is responsible for the program arrangement, so she smiled and explained: "I just received the news that ITV has decided to increase South The intensity of the live broadcast of the Ampton match is not only that, but China, Europe and other countries in the world have already shown a keen interest in broadcasting the Southampton match."
　　 Speaking of this, Roger Moses smiled, "Although Southampton is now a low-level league, it is a star team in the low-level league. The League Cup was eliminated, but we have the FA Cup."
　　 "Director, do you mean that our FA Cup should focus on live broadcasting the Southampton game?" Barbara Slater was even more surprised.
　　 After the broadcast rights of the Premier League were occupied by Sky TV, the most precious resources of the BBC at present are the FA Cup and Premier League matches.
　　 "Don't you think that it is interesting for a team with superstars like Ibrahimovic to encounter the strong players in the Premier League?"
　　Barbara Slater understood.
　　 The FA Cup has always been regarded as a hotbed of unpopularity, but over the years, the FA Cup has become less and less upset.
　　 Without the unpopular FA Cup, no fans would be interested.
　　 Roger? Moses is trying to win Southampton and further promote the weight of the FA Cup.
　　 "I understand!" Barbara Slater did understand.
　　…………
　　…………
　　 "We have been kept in the dark. I believe they have reached an agreement long ago. This approach is very disappointing. In my opinion, they did not show even the slightest respect for Manchester United!"
　　 "This is a betrayal of Manchester United!"
After Manchester United officially announced that Paul Pogba and Ravel Morrison had switched to Southampton for a package price of 2.5 million pounds, there may be private contacts between Southampton and the two former Manchester United players. He was very angry and said that he did not rule out appeals.
"This is not a single incident. I want to say that it has had a very bad impact on our youth training system, making our internal people panic. Their defection not only caused us to lose two very valuable players, but also caused us Had an extremely bad influence."
　　 Southampton immediately held a press conference. The head of the team's marketing department and the head of the news and public relations department, Sun Yue said at the St. Mary Stadium very seriously that Ferguson's accusations were unfounded and unreasonable speculations.
　　 "I don't think Ferguson has any reason to blame others, because he has been doing the things he said. Do you still need me to give examples for everyone?"
　　 "Southampton brought in Paul Pogba and LaVille Morrison. Before signing, we did not sign any private agreement. Even in the terms of our contract, we did not give players any unrealistic promises."
　　 "We contacted Manchester United and showed interest in two of their players who had submitted written transfer applications because they were sent to the youth team, and offered a suitable price. They agreed. The whole thing is as simple as that."
　　 "I don't think we have any violations."
　　 Paul Pogba also confirmed this in an interview with Southern Echo reporter Charlene Laheri.
"Southampton did not promise my first-team main position, they just told me that here, I can play a lot of games, playing with Ibrahimovic and some other top players, playing together, improve together."
　　 "This makes me eager to join Southampton, not just for money."
　　 As for what Ferguson said, Pogba is a defect this time, because he does not respect Manchester United. Pogba also responded.
"When I came to Manchester from Le Havre a year ago, he promised to let me play more games, but in the absence of people in the first team, he didn't trust me at all and never considered giving me a chance. When I put forward the hope that I could make more contributions to the team, he gave me the answer, go back to the youth team!"
"I can't understand why he feels that I don't respect Manchester United enough, because I moved freely from Le Havre, but now I have made a seven-figure transfer fee for Manchester United? Or, does he think I don't have Bowing his head to confess his mistake, it violated his authority, and it seemed to be insufficiently respected."
　　 "But I want to say, if I have another chance to choose, I will still say to him, no!"
Regarding Southampton’s introduction of Paul Pogba and Lavelle Morrison from Manchester United, after Ferguson’s shelling and Southampton’s powerful counterattack, it immediately became a major event in the entire English football scene and even caused it. The attention of European football.
　　 Pogba and Morrison, two talented new stars who are only seventeen years old, appeared for the first time on the pages of major European media.
　　 Raiola also stood up and accepted an interview with the Italian media, accusing Ferguson of being too domineering and lacking respect for the players.
For a time, on the Internet and in the media, the transfer between Manchester United and Ferguson and Southampton quickly caused huge discussions and controversy ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Most fans were divided into two factions. Noisy on the Internet and newspapers.
　　 Some people think there must be something wrong with Southampton. They must have contacted the players privately and encouraged them, which caused Manchester United to become passive.
　　 But someone quickly fought back, thinking it was a conspiracy theory, and there was no evidence at all.
　　 And Manchester United itself is not clean enough. Back then, Pique was poached from Barcelona, ​​and Pogba was poached from Le Havre. I don’t know how many times such things have happened. Who is qualified to talk about others?
　　 BBC TV also carried out key reports on sports news, and subtly guided the audience to believe that this was a thief shouting and catching a thief, and Ferguson often did this.
　　 This is the BBC, and its influence in the UK is equivalent to China's CCTV.
　　 So, when the BBC shouted, the whole of Britain was fried, and the major newspapers chose to stand in line and open fire.
　　 The Sun is a Red Devils, but the Manchester City Evening News firmly supports Southampton and strikes at Manchester United.
　　 The Times, Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, Independent, Mirror and other media also have their own positions.
　　 This made the entire United Kingdom so noisy because of this transfer valued at only 2.5 million pounds.
　　 In this situation, as the center of the storm and the initiator of the incident, Southampton once again held a press conference.
　　 And in this press conference, a grand launch of the team's latest introduction, a talented rookie from Brazil.
　　 Neymar!
