"hello!"

When Saint Harry and John conspired to discuss the bar in Southampton, at the door of the studio at the BBC TV station headquarters in London, the Sun's top reporter Steven Howard smiled and handed a bottle of water to Charlene Lahry, who walked out of the studio.

"Ha, Steven, you seem to be running harder recently!"

Barbara Slater, the sports director who followed Charlene Lahry, joked with some fun, and shook his lips at Charlene Lahry, "Are you going to chase our Taihua?"

"Taihua?" Steven Howard was stunned, a little surprised.

"The Flower of TV!" Barbara Slater laughed, "Not long ago, Charlene deserved it as the internal selection of our BBC employees!"

"Oh, please!" Steven Howard slapped his forehead hard, "If you really want to vote like this, she should be our circle?"

"Round flowers? What does it mean?" Barbara Slater couldn't understand at all.

"The Flower of Football Media Circle!" Steven Howard said in the end, he couldn't help laughing.

Barbara Slater and Charlene Lahry were completely amused.

"Okay, okay, don't joke, talk about serious things!" Charlene Lahry interrupted this teasing in anger.

Steven Howard did hint at her, but unfortunately, she refused from the beginning, so now the two can only be considered good friends and colleagues, and other than that, there is no other relationship.

Because she can't tolerate others in her heart!

"Okay, you guys talk, I'll go back first!" Barbara Slater stopped talking, and left after accusing him.

Charlene Lahry pointed to a room next to the studio and walked in.

Steven Howard also hurried in and smiled, "After the show you just aired, you will definitely cause controversy again, so it's better to be a little mentally prepared!"

"Why?" Charlene Lahry unscrewed the cap and took a sip of water in an elegant manner.

"It's very simple. You almost praised Southampton as a flower on the show!" Steven Howard smiled.

Charlene Lahry smiled sweetly, "Is it too much for me to perform well, right?"

"Besides, everyone who likes my show knows that I am a complete Saint Party, and they should have been mentally prepared!"

Steven Howard shook his head helplessly and laughed. He was mentally prepared because Charlene Lahry was a famous diehard and a complete Southampton loyalist.

"The four Premier League teams participating in the Champions League this year all successfully advanced from the group stage, but Manchester City lost 0-2 to Barcelona in the first leg at home, Arsenal lost 0-2 to Bayern Munich in the first leg, Manchester United lost 0-2 to Olympiacos in the first leg away, and only Southampton defeated Galatasaray 6-0 away."

Speaking of this, Charlene Lahry shrugged and spread his hands, "You tell me, am I so exaggerating?"

Steven Howard was also helpless. It was not that the opponent was too strong, but that we were too weak.

The performance of Premier League teams in the Champions League group stage is actually not too bad. Southampton has good luck in drawing lots and has not drawn any strong teams. They have won five wins and one steadily, and there is nothing to say.

Although the group where Manchester United is in is relatively average, Manchester United should qualify for the strength, so Moyes' Red Devils won four wins and two draws, and was unbeaten to qualify, and was also the first in the group.

As for Manchester City, it can only be considered a bad luck when encountering Bayern Munich, but even so, Manchester City still scored an impressive record of 5 wins and one loss and 15 points, and was tied with Bayern Munich. However, in the end, Bayern Munich scored many goals in the group duel, so he won the first place in the group.

Arsenal encountered the death group, but the Gunners' performance was also not bad, with four wins and two losses, with the same points as Dortmund and Napoli. As a result, due to the matchup, Arsenal was in the end behind Dortmund, while Napoli was forced to play in the UEFA Cup.

It can be said that the four Premier League teams performed quite well in the Champions League group stage this season.

But who would have thought that as soon as he entered the knockout round, his performance declined sharply.

If Manchester City and Arsenal are relatively Sisien, and they qualify as the second in the group, they suddenly encountered strong teams such as Bayern Munich and Barcelona, ​​the number one in the group, and it is reasonable to lose, then Manchester United lost 0-2 away to Olympiacos, which is not supposed to be.

Because Olympiacos is recognized, the weakest team among the sixteen teams that entered the knockout stage.

As a result, just when everyone thought that Manchester United had a great fortune and was going to the quarterfinals, Moyes made a big joke with people all over the world.

What's even more terrifying is that the Red Devils and Manchester United's ranking in the Premier League this season has completely fallen out of the top five. Not to mention competing for the top four in the league, it is probably difficult to get the qualification for the Europa League.

Originally, everyone was looking forward to Moyes being able to make a difference in the Champions League and continue his outstanding form in the group stage, but now, this crushing defeat has made everyone realize that Moyes is not Ferguson after all, and it is impossible for Ferguson to be.

If you really want to talk, Steven Howard can't catch up with Charlene Lahry even if you shoot.

So, every time, he could only surrender!

"Okay, I can't tell you anyway!" The chief reporter of the Sun could only admit defeat.

Charlene Lahry smiled unanimously, "Tell me, what are you asking for?"

"I heard that Southampton has been doing a lot of moves recently!" Steven Howard said tentatively.

Charlene Lahry thought to himself, indeed, it was for the sake of the saints, and raised his eyebrows, "You know everything, and ask me?"

Steven Howard was depressed, "Miss, I can only find some corners and corners, but I didn't find anything at all. If you don't understand anything, you will definitely peel my skin when you go back!"

Charlene Lahry's image of Devil Editor-in-Chief Rebekah Wade immediately giggled.

"Okay, tell me, what did you find?" Charlene Lahry also started to mess up news.

Steven Howard thought about it, "My informant told me a definite news that Southampton was going to cooperate with London Harros Mall. The specific cooperation project is not clear, but I guess, probably..."

Charlene Lahry nodded and said, "Yes, Harros Mall will enter the new stadium in Southampton!"

This is equivalent to affirming Steven Howard's guess.

A large department store or a high-end shopping mall, and entering a football field is unique in the world.

But the new stadium in Southampton is OK, because since its design, Southampton has been consciously doing this.

If you guess correctly, Harros Mall is not in the stadium, but on the double-decker bridge connecting the stadium and the land. In addition to two roads and sidewalks, there is also a large single-story building in the middle, which is connected to the ground floor and underground parking lot of the new stadium, and the architectural style is also in line with the same line.

In other words, it is not just Harros Mall, but also a lot of space inside the stadium in Southampton. By then, the venue rent alone will be a very amazing income every year.

"It seems that Southampton is very ambitious!" Steven Howard smiled.

If it is really planned by Southampton, the annual rent collected after entering the new stadium and the increase in game day income will increase the Saints' fiscal revenue by one or two, and even catch up with big income players like Real Madrid and Manchester United in one fell swoop.

"But I have a problem!" Steven Howard, as a reporter, had a very sensitive sense of news and immediately grasped the key to the problem. "Why are those businesses interested in Southampton stores?"

No one has ever done the supporting land around the stadium. For example, the corner of Bernabeu in Real Madrid was rented to people, and the price was quite good.

In addition, for example, Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, the rent within the stadium alone can charge tens of millions of pounds a year, not to mention income from tickets and VIP rooms.

But like Southampton, there are almost no one.

The reason is mainly because most stadiums are located in suburban areas, and those stadiums located in the city center generally do not have extra land, so they can only develop the interior of the stadium as much as possible.

For example, Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge is enough for the city center?

But what are the solutions?

The surrounding land belongs to others, and even the stadium does not belong to Chelsea’s own. You have to apply for it when you move, which will cause complaints. How to deal with it?

Also, like Manchester United, the commercial value of the land around Old Trafford Stadium is quite valuable, but none of them belong to Manchester United.

So, a big game like Southampton is really the only one in the top European football leagues.

But there is indeed commercial value. After all, it can attract 60,000 or 70,000 fans to the stadium every week. Many fans even like to run around the stadium on weekdays. With a little development, they have great potential.

But Steven Howard felt it was difficult to attract so many businesses at once.

Unless, Southampton has its own plan.

After hearing Steven Howard's question, Charlene Lahry smiled slightly, "Naturn has naturally a bargaining chip and plan to attract those merchants. Otherwise, would those merchants be fools?"

"What plan?" Steven Howard immediately became interested.

He sensitively realized that this was the real shocking news!

Charlene Lahry looked at Steven Howard leisurely and deliberately kept it in a silence before he said it.

“Free tickets!”

"What?" Steven Howard stood up in surprise, "Ball...the tickets are free?"

"right!"

"How is this possible?" The chief reporter of the Sun shook his head desperately. This was absolutely impossible.

Free tickets?

What international jokes are you making?

You know, after Southampton moved into the new stadium, according to the attendance rate, the average income of at least 30 million pounds per game is free? Could it be that Southampton will become a good church?

Besides, ticket revenue has always been one of the main sources of revenue for various clubs. If there is no ticket revenue, wouldn’t Southampton’s revenue be sharply reduced?

At that time, what can I use to raise so many stars?

But Charlene Lahry was obviously not surprised, as if Steven Howard's reaction had long been as expected.

This made the chief reporter of the Sun a little strange. Could it be true?

But if it is true, why does Southampton do this?

Or, why did Southampton do this?

"Steven, this plan is still being tested, but I can only say that many people are quite optimistic about this plan, so Harros Mall and some other companies and brands have chosen to settle in, because of this!"

Charlene Lahry said this, his face was filled with confidence.

“If Southampton really works successfully, it will become Southampton, no, or even the most popular tourist consumption hotspot in South London!”

At this moment, Steven Howard was really shocked!

He had thought a lot before, and even some of them were exaggerated by himself.

But what he said to Charlene Lahry at this moment was surprised to find that the reality was even more exaggerated than he imagined!
Chapter completed!
