Football giants

Chapter 236 Inside Story
UK, London, The Sun newspaper headquarters.

"Editor-in-Chief, big news, hot big news!"

Steven Howard slammed open the door of editor-in-chief Rebekah Wade's office.

The editor-in-chief of The Sun was so frightened that he jumped up from his office chair. Before he could turn off the video from a certain island country that was playing on the computer, there were vague sounds like ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

What's more, there is a tissue box next to the computer on the desk.

Anyone who is a man can hear what this is doing.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Steven Howard was startled immediately, and turned around to open the door to go out.

"Come back!" Rebekah Wade was angry and annoyed.

How can we let him go out at this time?

As soon as he walked out, didn't those people outside know that some shady things were going on inside?

At that time, the whole office still doesn't know what it will look like.

You know, the most indispensable thing in the editorial department of The Sun is the spirit of gossip.

"Before you come into my office next time, remember to knock on the door first!" Rebekah Wade was a little annoyed.

Sit down on the office chair again, close the playback software in the computer, or even turn off the computer directly.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

If the person who walked in at this time was not Steven Howard, the most pleasing reporter of The Sun, any other person would definitely be scolded by him at this time.

"Editor-in-Chief, big news!" Steven Howard was also knowledgeable.

The most important thing now is to erase the scene just now from my mind forever, pretending that I didn't see anything.

"What big news?" Rebekah Wade began to get into character a little bit.

Steven? Howard immediately took out the IPAD and sent it to Rebekah Wade.

"This is the exclusive inside story of Charlene Lahiri, chief reporter of Southern Echo."

Insider resource sharing as part of a partnership between The Sun and The Southern Echo.

"About Southampton?" Rebekah Wade took it and asked casually.

When I saw it, I was so surprised that I almost slipped the IPAD in my hand.

"Nike building a training center for Southampton?"

Oh my God, is there any more startling news and rumors than this?

"Isn't Southampton's sponsor Adidas? Didn't they just sign a sky-high contract? Why did they get involved with Nike again?" Rebekah Wade asked questions one after another.

Steven Howard had a wry smile on his face, but he didn't have an answer either.

"Is this news true?" Rebekah Wade's first reaction was fake news.

At least it could be fake news that Southampton is hyping itself up.

"I confirmed it with Charlene Lahiri, and it's absolutely true."

Rebekah Wade was surprised, "Why? Why is Southampton?"

who knows?
"The editor-in-chief, perhaps, can only say that life against the heavens cannot be explained." Steven Howard didn't have an answer either.

The office fell into silence for more than ten seconds, and both of them were thinking about some problems.

"I've been receiving news before that Nike and Adidas fought bloody battles to get Southampton's jersey sponsorship. In the end, Adidas won at a sky-high price. But I didn't expect that Nike ran to build a training center for them. The value is as high as 3000 million pounds, which is unreasonable!"

That's £3000!
If it were in other cities, other Premier League teams would be able to build three Premier League-level training bases.

What kind of training center is so bullish?
"There must be something wrong here, there must be something we don't know!"

Rebekah Wade was very sure.

Nike and Adidas are not open to charity, the negotiation strength of these two consortiums are very good.

I didn't see that Real Madrid has been appealing to Adidas since the second phase of the Galaxy Battleship, asking for a price increase.

But two years have passed, and the price is still being negotiated.

Although everyone knows that once the negotiation is settled, it will be a record-breaking price.

But why do you compare Southampton to Real Madrid?
"What do we do now?" Steven? Howard asked with concern.

This is his headline.

The two major consortiums are vying for the top and trying to sponsor Southampton. There must be topics of concern to fans.

Rebekah Wade thought for a moment and nodded.

"Needless to say, tomorrow morning, headlines, you have a good talk with Charlene Lahiri, so that the reporters in the newspaper can collect as much relevant information as possible through their own network and channels."

"Tomorrow, we will use a large space to report on this matter and dig out the inside story."

"The inside story?" Steven Howard was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood.

What the editor-in-chief means is that if there is an inside story, report it, if there is no inside story, even if there is an inside story, report it!

The scene that happened at the headquarters of the Sun newspaper also happened at the headquarters of major newspapers in the UK.

Even in many well-known newspapers in Europe and the world that received the news, such things are happening.

It has become a typical feature of media all over the world to use imagination to catch wind and shadow.

At the same time, on the Internet, some news websites rushed to release this news immediately, which immediately aroused the attention of countless netizens.

"Wow, that's awesome, let Nike and Adidas sponsor at the same time."

"This is the only one in the whole world!"

"The great saints are different, and the awesome people are different!"

But doubts were soon raised.

"Really? Nike and Adidas sponsored at the same time? How is this possible?"

"That's right, I think this must be fake news fabricated by a brain-dead editor."

"As far as I know, Nike and Adidas are incompatible, how can they sponsor a team at the same time?"

"And it's a Championship team."

But more people are still watching the excitement.

"Nike and Adidas sponsor a team at the same time, how does this game work?"

"Simple, Nike sponsors the jersey and socks, Adidas sponsors the shorts and boots."

"Wow Kaka, isn't this too joyful?"

"Southampton is really powerful. It can make the two major consortiums take the lead. Besides them, who else can?"

Some netizens who like to watch the excitement forwarded this news one after another, and it quickly aroused a crowd of onlookers on Facebook, Twitter and WeChat Moments.

Many who supported Southampton were delighted with this piece of news.

But there are also some people who believe that this is impossible and that this is fake news.

When the fans retweeted, they liked some of Aite's stars who are often bubbling on the Internet.

"Pique, Pique, what do you think about Southampton?" A Barcelona fan asked Barcelona defender Gerard Pique.

Pique quickly replied, "I called the person in charge of Nike Spain and they said it was fake news."

"real or fake?"

"I am very familiar with the person in charge of Nike Spain, and I have inside information. Since he said it was false news, it must be false." Pique replied again.

"Southampton is too shameless. They can do this kind of self-promotion."

Pique quickly posted a tweet, "Everyone must understand that the English Championship doesn't attract much attention, it just needs to rely on some lace news to win the attention of the fans, and exaggerate the income a little bit, otherwise how can we support those stars?"

Soon, another one was posted.

"Everyone in the football circle knows that there are so many stars in Southampton, but almost none of them are really popular. Ibrahimovic, Neymar and Neuer are all depreciating greatly. Facts have proved that relying on burning money is just the behavior of nouveau riche.

Pique's tweet was quickly forwarded by several of his teammates.

These days, Barcelona's limelight is overwhelming, especially just won another Champions League, and it is even more thriving in football. Countless fans almost worship Barcelona.

With the rising tide, the attention of Barcelona players has also skyrocketed.

As a result, their tweets quickly attracted a lot of attention on the Internet.

Countless netizens took this news to refute it, thinking that the previous reports on the website were all fake news.

"Ignorance editor, look at what Pique from Barcelona said. He is very familiar with Nike's top management and has confirmed it. The news is fake. You are still hyping it up. How shameless?"

"That's right, people have confirmed that it's fake news, and they still refuse to stop. It's too reckless."

"I can only say that today's online editors are not going out to find news, but conceiving news at home."

"It must have been paid by Southampton to make such a rumor!"

This immediately attracted a counterattack from Southampton fans.

"Pike? Is his news channel reliable? Can he get the core secrets of Nike's top management?"

"There are so many NC fans these days. They actually choose to trust Pique instead of news websites?"

"In my impression, Pique is just a big mouth. Who does he think he is?"

"Yes, it's just a big mouth that doesn't twitch."

Gradually, two opposing camps immediately formed on the Internet, and some people even started dating.

In the camp that supports Southampton, someone hit Yang Huan.

Yang Huan didn't bother to explain, so he replied, "The doubters are waiting to read tomorrow's newspaper!"

This sentence is very short, and there is no inside story, and it is quickly seen as a sign of guilty conscience.

The skeptics headed by Pique and others quickly gained the upper hand, because no one would easily believe such a thing.

Will Nike and Adidas sponsor a team at the same time?
How can this be?

Could it be that what super giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona can't do, can a Championship team do?
Anyone who knows a little bit about football and is a little bit more rational knows that this is likely to be a rumor.

Pique even replied to Yang Huan's WeChat in the air.

"Tell me, boss, how much did you spend for this?"

This immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Yang Huan's WeChat fans again, thinking that this big-mouthed Barcelona central defender is too crazy.

But there was nothing he could do about it.

But just when the supporters of the Great Saints couldn't hold on.

The next day, some well-known newspapers in Britain, Europe and even the world reported the incident one after another.

There are even many newspapers digging very carefully, including the sponsorship of Nike to build a Nike training center for Southampton.

These newspaper reports undoubtedly gave the supporters of the Great Saints the most powerful counterattack.

If it is only reported by one or two websites, it can also be called fake news.

But now, so many newspapers, including The Sun, The Times, Daily Mail, Bild, Marca and Aspen, and even Barcelona's L'Equipe Daily Sport are reporting on this incident.

Is this still fake?
The excited Southampton fans immediately launched a counterattack.

"I said it was impossible last night, stand up!"

"Look, the newspapers all over England are reporting it, it must be true!"

"Those who say doubts, why don't they dare to speak?"

"Have they all become dumb?"

"Haha, this is what they usually do. After doubts, the truth is clarified, and they shrink their heads and act like turtles!"

"This group of shrinking turtles is such a virtue. If you lose, you can't be more generous, admit it?"

Soon, some netizens approached Gerard Pique, the Barcelona star who yelled the loudest last night.

"Pike, Pique, your inside information seems to be false, what do you think?"

"Your friend is really the head of Nike's Spanish region? Are you sure it's not the manager of a store in Barcelona?"

But the stubborn Barcelona central defender refused to admit defeat.

"Who doesn't know that newspapers can be bought and misled now, as long as you have money!"

"Even now, I still feel that this is impossible!"

"Unless you have stronger evidence to prove it!"

After finishing speaking, he looked like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and gave a look like you are coming to bite me.
