Football giants

Chapter 47 The Great Choice
Yang Huan sat in a corner of the studio, on the sofa in the reception area, watching the big TV in front of him.

The TV is connected to the computer host on the side, and two pages are opened. The left half shows some real-time data of WeChat users.

For example, the total number of registered users of WeChat has exceeded 150 million, and the upward trend is still very fast.

At this moment, there are more than 80 active WeChat users online, and more than 50 of them are paying attention to the press conference.

On the right side of the big TV screen, the situation of the press conference is being broadcast. Ibrahimovic is sitting in front of the camera and is using a mobile phone. Later, he will use his mobile phone to interact with all the fans and answer their questions.

The press conference hall was specially designed by the staff for this Internet event. All users who entered the hall, except the media who had received the invitation code in advance, all other fans and users would receive a code number.

Wait, some random fans will be selected and allowed to ask Zlatan Ibrahimovic their own questions.

But Ibrahimovic has the right to decide whether to answer.

This rule also automatically receives information notifications after all users enter the press conference hall.

Not only that, all questions and answers will be transmitted to each user's mobile phone WeChat, and even the status of the questioner and answerer at this moment will also be displayed on it.

This is undoubtedly a different press conference. Yang Huan did not attract nearly [-] fans at the Bernabéu Stadium like when Real Madrid introduced Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, he used such a different press conference to attract the attention of media and fans all over the world.

"Master Huan, it's time to start." Zhu Liangcheng walked over and reminded.

He himself was also very nervous. For this press conference, he and his team had carefully prepared for a long time.

Today, it's the difference between success and failure.

Yang Huan was also a little nervous, "I heard that the WhatsApp server is down today, is it?"

"Yeah." Mentioning this, Zhu Liangcheng was a little excited, "They have been free for a limited time in the past few days, which has made their users rapidly increase, and they have now exceeded 300 million. However, the increase in users may be too fast, and the traffic surge directly caused their server to crash. It has been six hours, and it has not recovered yet."

Seeing that Yang Huan was in a good mood, Zhu Liangcheng smiled and said, "I have already arranged for people to promote it on Facebook and Twitter. I believe it will attract more users."

Yang Huan nodded appreciatively, "As long as today's press conference can arouse strong repercussions, and tomorrow's newspapers, media and websites will promote it again, we will welcome more users to join us in the next few days."

In the past, only media organizations could participate in the press conferences of teams and stars. The fans mostly attended the meet-and-greets, and they sat in the stands and watched from afar.

But this time Yang Huan used the Internet to give all the fans a chance to communicate with the stars face to face.

Even if this kind of opportunity is only the exchange of words and pictures, this is already a huge innovation.

At least, in the traditional football world, it has never appeared.

Zhu Liangcheng was also full of confidence, "Then, Master Huan, I'll go get ready."

Watching Zhu Liangcheng leave, Yang Huan looked at the TV screen again and found that the total number of registered users had exceeded 160 million.

At this time, the doorbell rang outside the gate, and someone ran to open the door.

Not long after, Zhang Ning walked in with Huang Ying, Sun Yue, Nicola Cortez, Kesh Harris and others.

"Why are you here?" Yang Huan stood up and asked with a smile.

Nicola Cortez and Kesh Harris both came to Yang Huan's studio for the first time. They were both surprised by the mess in the studio, and some couldn't figure out why Yang Huan held such a special press conference.

But all the things related to the Internet these days are very high-end and high-end concepts, so it shouldn't be bad.

"Such a rare opportunity, we must come to see it." Kesh? Harris said with a smile.

Although Huang Ying is already an employee of the studio, she is only in charge of game level design. She doesn't know anything about WeChat, but she just finds it interesting because she is also a WeChat user.

Everyone came to the reception area and each found a place to sit down. Zhang Ning naturally sat beside Yang Huan, but for some reason, Huang Ying sat on the other side of Yang Huan.

Yang Huan looked to the left, and then to the right. They were all beautiful women, and there was a kind of blessing of being equal to others hugging left and right.

Sensing Yang Huan's ambiguous eyes, Zhang Ning was used to it, and glared at him calmly, while Huang Ying lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at him again, but she couldn't change positions anymore.

Amidst Huang Ying's timidity, the press conference finally started.

Charlene Lahiri sat in the office of the Southern Echo newspaper headquarters, looking at the WeChat in front of her, waiting for the start of the press conference. Around her, many of her colleagues and even the editor-in-chief of the newspaper were paying attention to the press conference on WeChat.

"Congratulations, you have the right to be the first to ask questions, please prepare your questions."

As this reminder message came, Charlene Lahiri immediately began to write the message.

At this time, at the press conference, the host was using words and pictures to introduce Ibrahimovic to everyone, and these were obviously prepared before. All the text introductions and pictures were clear at a glance, very concise and clear.

Not to mention those fans, even ordinary people who didn't know football before, after watching it, they will at least have an impression in their minds that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the best and most outstanding football player in the world.

"Next, we invite our first questioner to ask a question."

As soon as Charlene Lahiri saw this message, she immediately sent out the message she had carefully prepared before.

"Hello, I'm a reporter from the Southern Echo, Charlene Lahiri. I want to ask Zlatan Ibrahimovic, what made you decide to join Southampton?"

After sending the message, Charlene Lahiri thought it might take a minute or two, but unexpectedly, the reply came soon.

Ibrahimovic replied: "I know that many people have the same doubts, because they think that Southampton is a League One team and failed to participate in the Champions League. Not to mention European football, even in English football. It is not a strong team, and it is even a bit inconspicuous."

"But I want to say that I joined Southampton because I believe that this humble team will soon shock the whole world."

"We have the best head coach, the best players, and a more ambitious owner. We believe that Southampton will soon return to the Premier League and enter European competitions."

"Perhaps, many of you still cannot understand my choice today, but I believe that in the future you will agree and admire the choice I made today, a great choice!"

Ibrahimovic's answer was arrogance of a typical Swedish center. He not only claimed to be the best player, but also regarded today's transfer as a great choice, which also made reporters who knew Ibrahimovic secretly smile.

At least the person answering the question on the phone is really Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

"Please ask the second questioner to ask."

"Hello, I'm Simon Garcia, a fan from Barcelona, ​​Spain. I would like to ask Zlatan Ibrahimovic, don't you think joining a League One team from the super giant Barcelona is a kind of depravity?"

As soon as this question came out, everyone who watched the live broadcast on their mobile phones was very surprised.

Such a sharp question is difficult to see in a general press conference, but hidden behind the phone, as an ordinary fan, he dared to ask such a question.

"I don't think this is a kind of degeneration. The so-called depravity mainly depends on the person himself. In my opinion, joining Southampton is not only not going downhill in his career. On the contrary, I am challenging the pinnacle of my career."

"Maybe you think this is a kind of depravity, it's because you're a coward, but I'm not!"

At this time, the host sent another message, "Please ask the third questioner to ask."

"Hello, I'm a fan from London, England. My name is John Reagan. Excuse me, what do you think of your year in Barcelona? How do you evaluate your teammates and head coach in Barcelona?"

"Those are two questions, but I can answer them!"

Ibrahimovic quickly replied, "I feel that my year in Barcelona was a farce. Through me, everyone can see clearly what is going on in Barcelona. I don't think it is my problem, because they took the initiative to ask for me, but they compromised in the face of difficulties and chose to sacrifice me."

"As for my career in Barcelona, ​​I think I proved my strength, but unfortunately, Barcelona missed a great star who was enough to help them create a legendary history."

"Among Barcelona's teammates, Messi is undoubtedly the best. He is the most talented player in the world. However, in my eyes, he, Xavi, Iniesta and others are all obedient elementary school students. They will do whatever the club and the head coach ask them to do, and they dare not violate or disobey in the slightest."

"For Guardiola, I think he is a fantastic head coach, but at the same time he is also a counselor. He can't take responsibility like a man. On the contrary, if there is a problem, it must be someone else's problem and has nothing to do with him."

"So, Eto'o is gone, and so am I!"

Ibrahimovic's remarks were too sharp and too tit-for-tat.

All the media and reporters who followed the press conference were overjoyed. These words will definitely become the focus of media hype tomorrow.

"Mr. Ibrahimovic, don't you feel that your evaluation of Guardiola is very contradictory?"

This is the fourth questioner, and the questioner is a reporter from the Spanish Daily News.

"What's the contradiction? An excellent head coach can't be a counselor?" Ibrahimovic asked back.

"Excuse me, after joining Southampton, what is your greatest wish?" This is the fifth questioner, from Southampton.

"What I want to do most is to lead Southampton back to the Premier League and enter European competitions. It is best for me to meet Barcelona. I am eager to prove my strength in Barcelona's penalty area!"

"Zlatan, I'm from New York, USA. Do you like the NBA? They say you can play basketball."

"Oh no, I don't like basketball at all, I like taekwondo, I'm a black belt."

He quickly added, "I heard that you are from the United States. That's great. I like Angelina Jolie."

"Hi, I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina, what do you think of Messi?"

"Some people say he's the best player on the planet, but I've never seen it that way because a year ago, if he wasn't putting pressure on the club, he should have been on the wing, passing the ball for me."

"Ibrahimovic, what do you think the Saints are missing in the recent period of time, Southampton's start is not ideal, one draw and one loss?"

"One of the best players in the world is still missing, and that is me, Zlatan Ibrahimovic!"
