Chapter 827 Welcome to Southampton

Southampton’s financial revenue soared last season. Firstly, the increase in Premier League broadcast fees, and secondly, the Champions League broadcast fee share is also higher than before. In addition, Southampton’s current stadium capacity has increased, and the entire stadium’s income is even higher. There is a leap forward.

So last season, Southampton's revenue ranked among the top ten in Europe for the first time, ranking seventh in Europe with a season revenue of 3000 million euros, second only to the six top teams of Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Manchester City, Bayern and Paris. The club beat Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and other Premier League powerhouses.

And obviously, their next revenue will increase.

Because after they won the Champions League for five consecutive times, their reputation has risen again, and many sponsors have increased their sponsorship numbers. After all, Southampton is a huge brand now, and they are tied to them. For these big brands, it is also an extremely important thing.

If there was no difference between sponsoring Southampton and sponsoring other teams before these big brands, now it really starts to make a difference.

The fact that all games last season were sold out gave Ji Ya the courage to continue to expand the stadium. Originally, the Saints Stadium had already left enough room for expansion when it was built, and it can be expanded to a maximum of 5000 seats. ——The main reason is that this piece of land is too large, so more redundancy can be left when building.

Soon, Southampton announced to the outside world that it will expand the Saints Stadium, expanding the current capacity of 5 people to 7000 people. If the supply of tickets is still in short supply, then it will be expanded again .

This news made the fans of Southampton cheer again. They all said that this is a wise move, because there were many old fans who went to the game every year last season, because they failed to get the package tickets. So there is no way to go to the scene to watch the game!

Now after a wave of expansion, they are much more likely to grab tickets.

So the fans have praised the club for what the fans are anxious about, and it is simply a model of serving the fans!

When Southampton was bustling up and down, Vinicius Junior came to Southampton quietly.

This new star, who was signed by Southampton two years ago, still had an outstanding performance in the past two years-Flamengo did not stop cultivating him because he was about to leave in two years. The 500 million pounds that Southampton paid was paid in installments, and the first installment was only 1000 million pounds. If Vinicius does not get any training opportunities in the past two years, then the follow-up money will not be given to Flamengo. .

Even for Brazilian clubs, this is not a small amount of money. After all, this is not the era of Neymar. At that time, Brazil was still one of the BRIC countries, and the economy was quite good, so Brazilian clubs could keep people. Now Brazil has moved from gold to gold. Bricks have turned into golden pigs, the country's economy is not good, and the club's economy is naturally not much better.

And Vinicius himself also lived up to his expectations. After a season of training, he participated in the South American Under-17 Championship, and then scored seven goals in nine games, and won the best player and top scorer. The fame has also risen throughout Europe, but the major clubs who heard the news found that Southampton had signed him a year in advance...

This makes people very depressing. Southampton used to only grab semi-finished products, but now they are starting to grab raw materials. How can this make others live?

In any case, Vinicius is still growing. He played 17 times in 32, scored four goals and assisted once. In the past half season, he played [-] times and scored six goals. Three assists.

However, his value cannot be seen from these figures. His excellent ball feel and physical fitness with speed and flexibility are the key to his being favored by everyone. Deviation, is the next Neymar.

After coming to Southampton, Ji Ya saw him immediately.

"After two years, it's finally your turn."

As soon as Ji Ya saw Vinicius, he shook hands with him enthusiastically, which flattered the Brazilian boy.

Although he is old and mature, he still feels nervous when meeting a top coach like Ji Ya.

"Don't be too nervous. I have been paying attention to your performance in the past two years, and your growth has met my expectations. But you also know that coming to England from Brazil is a big change. The environment is completely different, so although you have changed, I will not let you enter the first team immediately, but let you adapt to the youth team for half a season, and then give you a chance, don't say that I deliberately left you alone." Ji Ya said with a smile.

"I know, sir." Vinicius said in poor English.

"You have already started to learn English by yourself, which is great. Although I can also speak Spanish, it is also very tiring to speak tactics in two languages ​​twice in the locker room." Ji Ya nodded in satisfaction .

"I... have no problem listening, but it's a bit difficult to speak." Vinicius said.

"That's enough."

Ji Ya snapped his fingers, then stood up from the desk: "Go, I'll take you to the training base."

Following Ji Ya, Vinicius left the office building, passed a training field, and came to a row of bungalows with complete facilities: "Originally, for young players from abroad, we can designate some local residents for you and They live together to better adapt to life in Southampton, but since you can speak and speak English well, then you don’t have to worry about it. After all, it’s mainly about passing the language barrier. In terms of taking care of your life, we are still the ones. The staff are more professional.”

Du Yue introduced Vinicius to a kind uncle in his 50s: "This is Lambert, the life director of our training base. He will help you arrange all aspects of life. As for any specific For the details, you can just talk to him directly."

Lambert smiled and extended his hand to Vinicius: "Nice to meet you, Brazilian boy."

Vinicius took Lambert's hand and smiled.

"There are still Sancho and Alvarez living here, before there were Valverde, Araujo and De Ligt, but they have all found a house outside now, after you fully adapt to life here , or you can go out and find a place to live by yourself." Ji Ya said to Vinicius.

"Okay, sir, I will adapt here as soon as possible." Vinicius nodded.

"Very good. With such an idea, I will definitely be able to play well in Southampton."

Ji Ya laughed, and finally reached out to Vinicius: "Welcome to Southampton."
