"Southampton, why is it Southampton again?"
In a mansion in the West End of London, Abramovich slammed a newspaper in his hand on the table.
After getting up early in the morning, he was in a good mood, but suddenly it turned from sunny to cloudy, and he even felt like a heavy rain was coming.
"Why do these reporters keep staring at Southampton?
What benefits have the Saints given them?"
Abramovich has always been confused about this.
Logically speaking, the transfer market is so lively, but there is too much material to report on.
Why do they keep reporting on Southampton?
I’m not sure about the rest, but at least in the past period of time, Southampton has occupied the front pages of almost all major newspapers in the UK and even major newspapers in Europe.
Do they have this influence?
Granovskya sat aside tremblingly, not daring to say anything.
In fact, she is clear about this issue.
At the end of the day, Southampton are all about hype.
In fact, the Saints are not afraid to tell reporters that they just want to hype.
And the reporters?
For the sake of sales and to stimulate fans, they were happy to see it and even actively cooperated with Southampton's hype.
Azpilicueta joins Tottenham Hotspur Saints sign Tottenham Hotspur youth center Harry Kane Ibrahimovic joins Paris Saint-Germain Cesc Fabregas returns to Premier League, joins Saints Javi Martinez sets Bayern Munich transfer fee record and lands in Bundesliga Southampton makes another move, Monaco's talented forward Martial joins the Saints James Rodriguez joins Real Madrid for huge price These transfers, one after another, were released in advance, allowing reporters to get wind of the situation, and conduct in-depth digging and investigation, to the club's official announcement, the truth was revealed, and the entire transfer process was in an orderly manner.
If you say this was not deliberately arranged, who would believe it?
I really thought those industry elites at the Southampton News Department were all vegetarians.
At least in terms of news and publicity, Chelsea is inferior to Southampton.
Even in terms of relationships and networks in the British media field, Chelsea lags far behind the Saints.
They are so professional in this aspect
Therefore, the Saints have been able to occupy important pages in major British media and even major European media for a long time.
James Rodriguez joined Real Madrid for a sky-high price of 100 million pounds, which completely detonated the entire European football world.
Almost everyone couldn't believe it and thought it was crazy, but it just happened.
And just when the whole world was shocked by this, the Saints' first team quietly left for training in China.
Then some reporters began to notice that Modric's name was not included in this training list at all.
This means that the Croatian midfielder transfer soap opera is coming to an end.
As a professional manager, Granovskya has often heard people mention the Saints.
Almost everyone in the industry who mentions the Saints, whether they are friendly or hostile, will basically deny that the Saints are the most professional and efficient football club in European football, if not one of them.
As revealed by Marca, Real Madrid decided to introduce James Rodriguez.
From the time Florentino personally went to Southampton to negotiate with Yang Huan to the final signing of the contract, it took less than ten years.
Two hours.
It would be impossible for Chelsea to do this.
Therefore, Granovskia is well aware of Southampton’s treatment in the newspapers and is really envious of it.
Abramovich also has a bit of a weird personality.
After he gets angry, no one pays attention to him, and he calms down after a while.
"Marina, how is the progress of introducing Stones?"
the Russian asked.
This summer, Chelsea's signings in the transfer market have really hit a wall at every turn, which is very unfavorable.
Among the several first-choice targets that have been delineated before, the only one who still has hope is Stones.
This young English native has just emerged.
He is a rare technical central defender with extraordinary potential.
At present, Chelsea's central defender is also in trouble, so it is imperative to introduce Stones.
It can even be said that it is done at all costs "I called Robert Elstone several times, but he never gave his nod on Stones' transfer.

As for the player, he is still changing agents and we have not been able to get direct contact with him yet."
Abramovich closed his eyes and exhaled heavily, "How much did we give him?"
"Fifteen million pounds." £15 million For a 20-year-old central defender who has only played in the Premier League for one season, it is already a pretty good price.
You know, when Everton introduced Stones from Barnsley in the English Championship in January 2013, it only cost 3 million pounds.
In one and a half years, it has increased significantly.
Five times, isn’t it enough?
"Originally, we planned to use Lukaku's transfer to talk to Everton, but we had an agreement with Everton, and Everton was not willing to entangle Lukaku with Stones. ,so"
Abramovich didn't say anything, just let out another long breath.
"Forget it, if Everton is still biting hard, go ahead and give me money to pry open his mouth, and take down Stones no matter what."
"clear" "Also, how are the transfers to Italy and Hamburg going?"
Abramovich asked with concern.
This summer, Abramovich completely entrusted Chelsea's reorganization plan to Granovskia and Mendes.
Each of them was responsible for a part.
Among them, Mendes was responsible for the transfer of Italy and the transfer of Hamburg.
Calhanoglu.
"I don't know.
I'll call back and ask Mendes."
"Yeah" Abramovich nodded, but quickly looked at Granovskya.
"Marina, call him now and I'll talk to him."
"good" Granovskia quickly took out her cell phone, found Mendez's phone number, and called directly.
After two beeps, the call was connected.
"Hey, Marina, do you have a problem with me?"
Mendes asked over the phone.
"The boss wants to tell you" After Granovskia finished speaking, he immediately handed the phone into Abramovich's hand.
"Hey Jorge, it's me."
"Hello, Roman" "Now that the team has started training, I would like to know how your progress is going."
There was some movement on the other side of the phone, and it was obvious that Mendes wanted to find a quieter place to talk.
"Roman, I have already contacted Cuadrado of Fiorentina.
The problem is not big.
Rakitic of Sevilla has basically solved it, but the situation of Inter Milan and Hamburg is a bit troublesome.
They refuse to let go. " Abramovich closed his eyes and showed an impatient expression, "Jorge, then you have to find a way to get them to let go.
We don't have much time now, and Jose keeps urging them.
We must The transfer needs to be completed as soon as possible.”
After thinking about it, Abramovich gritted his teeth and said, "In this way, you can appropriately increase the offer price for the transfer of several players.
The most important thing now is to introduce players.
You understand what I mean."
"clear" "I heard that Arsenal and Manchester United are also interested in Ranocchia and Icardi.
You have to do it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be protracted to get entangled with them."
"Okay" Mendes nodded in agreement.
"Oh, by the way, Roman, I have been dealing with something in Asia recently.
The transfer of Cuadrado and Rakitic.
You asked Marina to send someone to follow up.
Basically, everything has been negotiated, just some details.
Terms, not a big problem.”
"Okay, let's wait until you return to Europe" After finishing speaking, Abramovich hung up the phone.

With the introduction of a winger madman from Serie A and a fierce midfielder from La Liga, Chelsea's strength has been strengthened, and Abramovich's heart has become much more relaxed.
I won’t be accused of doing nothing anymore, right?
Jorge Mendes hung up the phone from Abramovich and suddenly felt like his head was pounding.
If he was still able to deal with the transfers of Cuadrado and Rakitic with ease, then Icardi, Ranocchia and Calhanoglu made Mendes somewhat timid.
When Yang Huan just completed the acquisition of Atletico Madrid, he immediately took a thunderous approach to him and cut off his hand in Atletico Madrid.
Even now, this incident has left an extremely deep impression on him.
There is no doubt that Yang Huan is doing great things.
At least, in the past few years, he has been invincible in Europe and quickly established his own football empire.
Mendes has to admire this ability from the bottom of his heart.
Both are rich men and bosses, but Abramovich is far behind Yang Huan in this aspect.
Mendes had already suggested that Abramovich take this path, so many Chelsea players were sent to PSV Eindhoven and Portuguese Super League teams to play games and gain experience.
But later, Abramovich chose to give up halfway.
But judging from the current situation, there is no doubt that Yang Huan's choice is wiser.
As a football agent, he knew very well that even if he couldn't make friends with someone like Master Huan, he certainly couldn't offend him.
This is why he resolutely chose to quit Atletico Madrid to save face for Master Huan.
But now, I really have to offend Master Huan for Chelsea’s sake If it was a month ago, Mendes might have had this idea, but now, he doesn't After hanging up the phone call from Abramovich, the Portuguese agent took a deep breath, forced out a smile, and walked back to the conference room he had just walked out of.
As he told Abramovich on the phone, he was in Asia.
And it’s in Longhai, China.
This is the conference room of Southampton's China office.
The person sitting inside was clearly Yang Huan.
"I'm sorry, Master Huan, there are too many trivial things.
I'm really sorry."
Yang Huan smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry anyway."
Mendes smiled apologetically and immediately asked his negotiators to continue negotiations on the specific terms and details of the player treatment contract offered by Southampton.
After several days of consideration, Di Maria decided to join Southampton after Bielsa personally called him.
And because Southampton's training camp was arranged in China, and all the important players of the club came to China, Mendes had to personally come to Longhai from Europe to discuss the players' personal treatment issues.
It was only after arriving in Longhai that Mendes was surprised to hear that Southampton had signed three more sponsorship contracts.
After the team successfully defended the Premier League title and won the Champions League, the Saints re-signed sky-high sponsorship contracts with major sponsors such as Nike and Qatar Airways.
The commercial value is quite astonishing.
But what surprised Mendes even more was that the Chinese market was so big and amazing.
Just these three contracts can bring Southampton over 10 million in revenue a year.
And it is said that there are many large financial groups vying to cooperate with the Saints, which is really shocking.
"Jorge" Yang Huan suddenly stood up.
"What are your orders, Master Huan?"
Mendes quickly stood up.
"Leave it to them to handle such small matters.
Let's go out for a walk."
Mendes looked at his assistant and seemed to think there was no problem, so he nodded.
"Okay, Master Huan, please":
