Chapter 68 Live

The Derby County club has received more attention, and naturally the number of media reporters came to interview.

These media reporters came to interview Derby County, not all with good intentions. Some of the media are just neutral, and some are completely hostile to Derby County. Only a few are supportive of Derby County.

This may sound strange, but it's actually quite normal.

The regional exchange of points in English football is very obvious. The media in London will only support the team in London, and the media in Manchester will only support the team in Manchester. Naturally, only the Derby County regional media supports Derby County. The Nottingham Forest regional media in the Delands area will not support Derby County. On the contrary, these media want to see Derby County perform poorly. Who makes Derby County and Nottingham Forest sworn enemies?

Therefore, most of the English media who came to interview are not supportive of Derby County, but those foreign media, who seem to be very friendly. This is also because Derby County's performance is good or bad has nothing to do with them. They say some good things about Derby County, It’s okay to praise Derby County, especially those countries that have players playing for Derby County, such as the Belgian media to which Leto Ziegler belongs, are very friendly when they come to interview. They hope to interview Ziegler and know Qi. Geler's state, etc., and it is worth mentioning the Chinese media.

The CCTV interview team was directly rejected by Wansheng before. Gao Xiang, the column leader, is still a very influential guy in China. He said that Wansheng would be blocked.

His influence is not small, but it is absolutely impossible to say that he can affect all media in China. Online media, such as Xinlang and Sohu, do not care about Gao Xiang. If a domestic leader speaks, they will initiate a corresponding response. . As for a director of CCTV? Who is this guy?

Even if you know, don't care.

Because the internal composition of CCTV is also very complicated, not all of them are of one mind. Gao Xiang is influential, and others are also very influential, especially those leaders with official titles. That's really influential. If I can be a leader, I won't be the leader of the column group by myself, so Gao Xiang's 'blocking' influence is there, but after a month has passed, as Derby County's performance has not declined, more Many media began to report Wansheng and Derby County under his leadership.

Wansheng will not appear on TV. Gao Xiang's influence is still relatively large in the field of television. But it’s different on the Internet. Many netizens and fans are constantly discussing Wansheng. In various sports and football forums, a lot of Wansheng’s names can be found. Discussion, these aspects, Gao Xiang is absolutely unable to stop.

Director of CCTV?

In today's society, the rich are the uncles. As a Baidu company with a monopoly on the domestic network, it doesn't even bother a CCTV director. It is also impossible for them to block a star coach who is discussing hotly on the Internet for the sake of each other's words.

In short, there are still many Chinese media reporters who came to Derby County to interview.

Although it is difficult for them to interview Wansheng directly, they can take a picture of Derby County's training and conduct some interviews with Derby County players and staff to learn about Wansheng from life and training. These interviews and reports also attract domestic fans.

In these interviews and reports, Derby County seems to be very low-key, especially in England as a whole, compared to Chelsea, Manchester United and other giants, Derby County is really low-key.

Christmas is coming, and all kinds of transfer news, war of words, Christmas wishes, etc. are also coming. In football, it is the war of words between Ferguson and Mourinho that is worth watching. Manchester United coach Ferguson said in his capacity as a visitor, Chelsea's bid for the Premier League title may well fall apart in the future as they are likely to suffer consecutive setbacks against teams from the north of England.

Mourinho was very dissatisfied with Ferguson's remarks. He bluntly said that Ferguson's record is not qualified to evaluate Chelsea at all. "Your results in the south are not good."

Ferguson believes Chelsea have only made two expeditions north of Birmingham, losing 1-0 to Manchester City and 1-0 to Middlesbrough.

In the second half of the season Chelsea will face Blackburn, Everton, Bolton, Newcastle and Manchester United successively. "Chelsea will find it very difficult to score points in the north."

This is prophecy.

It’s not enough to beat Mourinho, Ferguson is not spared for Wansheng, he thinks Derby County will collapse directly after Christmas, “They will collapse directly, because of injuries, because of the intensive schedule, I suggest they give up the league Cups, FA Cups and League Cups, so by the end of the season, they might just barely finish seventh in the league!"

This is obviously sarcasm.

The sixth in the league has the qualification to participate in the UEFA Cup next season, and the seventh in the league... There is nothing. From the perspective of club revenue and role, the seventh in the league is really no different from the 17th in the league.

Wansheng did not respond to this. Before Christmas, he was leading the team to prepare for the game, and he was not in the mood to fight Ferguson. As for Ferguson's remarks, he only said, "The results will prove everything!"

In fact, Wan Sheng felt like Ferguson was a clown at all.

Especially now, Manchester United's performance is obviously very poor, this old man always stands up and plays tricks, as if he is afraid that others will forget him, as for what he said, it is meaningless at all, let alone Derby County, in his memory. In this season, Chelsea won the championship, and they won the championship a few rounds in advance, so Chelsea will definitely not collapse after Christmas, so the predictions Ferguson said are equivalent to bullshit.

Wan Sheng didn't even bother to pay attention to the old man, so he let him be arrogant.

Wan Sheng, however, took Ferguson's words in his heart, thinking that when this difficult time is over, he will slap the guy in the face to let him know that he is responsible for what he says. As for whether the other party will Spitting blood out of anger, whether this violates the traditional virtue of the Chinese people's 'respect for the old and love the young' is not within the scope of Wansheng's consideration.

However, Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho, who is about to lead his team to play consecutive games on Christmas and New Years for the first time, is very disgusted with Ferguson's pointing at this time. , he stood up to the media and said, "If we lose points, then they are right, but if we continue to expand the lead? This will prove them all wrong. Let's wait and see."

Mourinho was dismissive of Ferguson’s claim of losing points in the north. “Before I say us, let me remind you that Manchester United also lost a lot of points in the south, 3 points at Stamford Bridge. They lost at Putsmouth. 3. Dropped 2 at Fulham, 2 at Derby, there seems to be little doubt that they will have problems playing in the south, so we'll see if we have problems in the north Bar."

With the war of words between the two, time passed day by day, and soon Christmas came.

Christmas day. Wansheng gave all players a day off. The Christmas battle is coming. In the face of the upcoming 10-day 4-game schedule, it is really good to have a holiday. On the day before Christmas, Wansheng also rarely attended the activities of the next club. He sent his blessings to the fans in his own way.

"My message to the fans at Christmas is remember your family is much more important than football. Don't focus too much on football over Christmas and New Years and don't worry about whether Derby County is top or third Fourth. Winning or losing doesn't matter that much at this point."

Wan Sheng rarely said some philosophical remarks, which made him feel a little taller.

"What you should really care about is the people you love. It's the world, it's peace. Those things are so much more important than football."

These words surprised many people. After all, Derby County is only a small club. They thought that development needs more attention and the support of fans, but this coach from China actually reminded fans not to pay too much attention to Derby County on Christmas?

But people who really know Wansheng can hear the overtones of Wansheng. He hopes that the outside world can give the team the least pressure and interference during the most critical period of the team, so as to keep the whole team in good condition. state to deal with the game.

In the last Christmas interview, Wansheng also responded positively to the reporters' topic of the league championship, saying, "The biggest competition is who will become the champion at the end of the season. This game during Christmas is not very meaningful. Knowing we're going to have four tough games, it's pretty normal to drop points in a game. So what we're going to do during this time is to try and win as many points as possible."

......

Christmas is not destined to belong to Wansheng.

On this day, Wansheng invited his uncle Wan Baoming to celebrate Christmas together. The two are uncles and nephews, and they are also abroad. Although Christmas is not a festival for Chinese people, they do as the locals do and follow the lively atmosphere of foreign countries. Unexpectedly, Kevin - Tagore also came.

When Kevin Tagore pushed open the door and walked in, his face was full of reluctance. It felt so full of resentment. Before Wansheng could ask what happened, he saw a tall woman walking behind Tagore. Hair, black eyes, hot body, very beautiful.

"Your new girlfriend?" Wan Sheng asked Tagore in a low voice.

Tagore reluctantly said, "That's my sister!"

"Sister?" Wan Sheng was stunned for a moment, then he smiled, "Really elder sister? It's popular now that elder sister and younger brother..."

"Go away! Your thoughts are so dirty! That's my sister." After Kevin-Tagre finished speaking, he pulled the woman and introduced, "Ella."

"This is Wansheng."

Kevin Tagore sat down on the sofa with his head down after the introduction. Ella's eyes lit up when she saw Wan Sheng, and said, "You are Wan Sheng? I heard you mentioned before."

"Ming?" Wan Sheng was puzzled by the name.

"It's your uncle, Ming," Ella explained.

Wan Sheng was stunned for a long time before he could react, Wan Baoming? How is this going? But his mind turned extremely fast, this woman was Kevin Tagore's sister, she knew Wan Baoming, and seeing Kevin Tagore's unhappy face... Wan Sheng understood immediately.

He immediately rushed upstairs and shouted in Chinese, "Uncle, your girlfriend is here!"

Only he and Wan Baoming could understand Chinese, even if he said it wrong, it didn't matter. Sure enough, his guess was accurate. There was a sound from upstairs immediately. Wan Baoming quickly walked downstairs and said hello to Ella. Speaking of which, the two of them looked like a couple, and they were very close.

Looking at the appearance of the two, Wan Sheng was a little stunned, and he looked at Kevin Tagore. After staring at Wan Baoming for a few more times, he finally couldn't help dragging Wan Baoming over. He walked aside and asked, "You and her... is she really your girlfriend?"

Wan Baoming nodded shyly.

Wan Sheng looked at him and almost vomited. "Why is a big man shy? You have a girlfriend and don't even tell me... She's still Kevin's sister? I... Damn. How did you meet?"

Wan Sheng was really surprised.

"..."

After Wan Sheng asked a question, Wan Baoming slowly explained.

It turned out that he went to a party with Tagore, met Ella at the party, and then the two talked and had a good impression of each other, knowing that Ella and her boyfriend broke up for half a year, so the two got together like this.

After listening to these remarks, Wan Sheng rolled his eyes... This feels a bit too simple, doesn't it? And this guy invited Ella for Christmas? What does it mean he doesn't know?

in England. Two single men and women spend Christmas together. It almost means that the relationship is close to a certain level, and it is almost the point of direct marriage.

In other words, the two will get married next year?

Kind of unimaginable.

After learning about the general situation, Wan Sheng was also very happy for Wan Baoming. Before he came abroad, Wan Baoming had been single, but now he can find a girlfriend to marry, which is also very good, especially Tagore's sister. In the Chinese parlance, this is called kissing and kissing, right?

As for Tagore's dissatisfaction... just ignore it. Now is the era of free love, and the younger brother can't control the elder sister.

But soon as the four of them prepared the Christmas dinner together, Wan Sheng and Kevin Tagore were all unhappy. The two stared blankly at the pair over there who kept showing their affection, as if they had become the foil for the Christmas dinner.

It felt like... tsk.

After having dinner again, Wan Sheng couldn't take it anymore. He finally understood why Kevin Tagore seemed so unhappy. It was really helpless for the two of them to be together, so he just left.

Walking on the street, looking at the town full of Christmas atmosphere, thinking of Wan Baoming and Ella... Should I get married too?

Wan Sheng smiled wryly and shook his head.

He also doesn't know where his love ends. Maybe it's a bit too extravagant to think about it now. In the end, Wan Sheng shook his head and went to Dali's house.

It would be nice to spend Christmas with Dally too.

Although Dali has always disagreed with marriage and said it very firmly, Wan Sheng has nothing to do about it, but at least the relationship between the two is still very close, and if we spend Christmas together, Dali will be very happy, right?

......

Derby County regrouped for training after Christmas.

Two days later, the team ushered in the first game of the Christmas War, and it was also the most watched of the four games of the Christmas War. Derby County welcomed Liverpool at home.

Before and after Christmas, Derby County looked very low-key, while Liverpool looked even more low-key. Their results were not outstanding, and Benitez was not an eye-catching coach, so although many people paid attention to this game, it was not at all before the game. make fire.

The two teams played against each other on the work schedule. Derby County beat Liverpool 1:2 away at Anfield, so this time back at home, there is no media to promote any 'crisis' remarks, or to say that Derby County is difficult to win. class words.

As a result, the game between the two teams was uneventful.

But what is certain is that both Wansheng and Benitez hope to win, but this game is very difficult for Liverpool to win. They still have striker problems and their offensive ability is not strong. With the solid defense and fast-break football style used by Sheng, after 90 minutes of competition, Derby County finally had the last laugh.

1:0, Derby County beat Liverpool at home.

The best performance in this game was Kluivert, because Kluivert scored the only goal, and the last time the two teams met, Kluivert also scored the first goal, so the game Later, many media used 'Liverpool nemesis' to describe Kluivert. In fact, Kluivert scored only four goals in the league, but two of them were Liverpool goals. This is really Liverpool's goal in Crewe Yvette's men were a little unlucky.

After the game against Liverpool, Derby County did not have any time to rest, because the 19th and 20th rounds of the Premier League were 27 and 28 consecutive days. No matter which team in the Premier League sees such a schedule, it will have a headache.

Soon the next morning, Derby County all assembled to go to Manchester together to adjust Manchester United's sworn enemy Manchester City away.

This is the first time Derby County have played against Manchester City this season.

Manchester City's performance last season was average, and in the end they were only able to avoid relegation. Coach Keegan did not lead the team to play any new ideas. In the summer, Manchester City basically did not have any personnel changes. On the contrary, after a season, the team's personnel further deteriorated. , the English media are basically taking a wait-and-see attitude towards Manchester City's performance.

But it is worth mentioning that this is the game that the Chinese media cares about the most, just because Manchester City has a Chinese player - Sun Jihai, and the head coach of Derby County is also a Chinese. Naturally, this game has attracted the attention of many domestic fans. For this reason, Xinlang Sports will also broadcast the game online, which is a benefit for domestic fans. After all, there is no broadcast rights for the Premier League in China. If CCTV does not intervene, it is difficult to see the live broadcast of Premier League games in China.

Now, here's your chance.

The domestic emphasis on the game has also affected Wansheng, Derby County and the club to some extent, because many Chinese media came to interview before the game, and Xinlang Sports also asked Wansheng for a special interview before the game.

Wan Sheng wanted to refuse at first, but thinking of a rare live game in China, which is also a rare opportunity to face-to-face with domestic fans, he finally agreed.

After receiving a positive reply, the reporters who came to interview Xinlang were also very happy. Now, few media have the opportunity to conduct special interviews with Wansheng. There is nothing special about this aspect at home and abroad. Wansheng agreed to the interview request. They felt that At the same time of excitement, he also began to conduct a lot of publicity before the game, which further increased the popularity of the live broadcast.

Obviously, the ratings for this game will be very high.
