Chapter Fifty-Eight Strange Things

The unpleasantness at the press conference did not affect Wansheng at all.

In his opinion, Brookson, the "Derby County Sports News" he represents, and even the local media of Derby County, are just clowns who only make trouble for nothing. They are not sincere support for the team at all. Be the first to do news to attract readers.

Brookson is one of the representatives.

Normally, when the game is won, Wan Sheng will also be interviewed, but this is not the case. He led the team to victory. The questions that other media reporters interviewed are normal, but the local media did it in a different way. 'sarcastic' questions --

"Derby County is so lucky to have won three straight?"

"Why not let Hertzig play?"

"A lot of people say you and Alfred have a better personal relationship?"

Fuck you!

Heck!

Is it luck that I led the team to victory? Who T-M-D also relies on luck to let a relegation team have a three-game winning streak! ?

It is Lao Tzu's right to let whoever appears, and Lao Tzu still uses you to point fingers!

Thinking of the face of the reporter who asked the snarky question just now, Wan Sheng felt full of anger, and he was determined to ignore these media, headed by Derby County Sports, all of these media reporters were blacklisted by him.

However, Wan Sheng directly refused Brookson's interview, which was considered a small revenge. If he didn't think about those questions, he would still be in a good mood.

But what he didn't expect was that "Derby County Sports News" was still a bit capable. The team had just returned to the club when he received a call from the club's chairman, Gee Smith.

"Wan Sheng, what's going on? Why did you refuse to be interviewed?" Ji-Smith's question came over the phone. His voice was calm, like a friend asking something, but Wan Sheng knew that, Questions in this tone of Smith often have to have an answer, which is his authority as the club president.

Wan Sheng listened.

"I received three calls in a row just now, all of which were that you didn't take the interview seriously. They said that you refused to answer all questions and complained to me a lot. I don't think you should do that. The team's performance is very important, but in The image in the media is also very important, I don't want the team to suffer because of this!"

After Smith finished speaking, Wan Sheng thought about it and said, "Mr. Chairman, first of all, I assure you that the team's results will not be affected in any way!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the guys calling you must be journalists who know the team well. There must be Derby County Sports? Isn't it?"

Smith affirmed, "Yes, Wan Sheng, you have to know that Derby County Sports is a partner media of the club, and their coverage is very important to the image of the club among the fans. I don't know what happened, but you should not be denied..."

"Mr Smith!" Wan Sheng interrupted, "I know what you're going to say, but I don't think the Derby County Sports report will have any effect on the team's image. You should be well aware that since I Since taking over the team, those guys have been slandering me and slandering the entire team, you can go and read the news they have reported to us for the past two weeks and see what they have said."

"I don't understand, how can the club's media partners be such a group of guys? If they keep doing this, they might as well not do any reporting on us because they keep smearing our image."

"So I refuse to do any interviews with them, not just for myself, but for the whole team."

Wan Sheng explained.

Smith was silent on the other end of the phone. He naturally knew very well what the local media had done to Derby County in the past two weeks. The team has been winning recently, but the reports mentioned many Wansheng's ability and the impact on the whole team. team doubts.

Just before the game against Nottingham Forest, they also agreed that Derby County could not beat Nottingham Forest, and Derby County completed the away two-goal victory.

Perhaps as the young man said, we chose the wrong partner?

but……

Smith is a little hesitant. In his opinion, the cooperative media is still very important, because they have to do a considerable amount of reports on the Derby County club, but if these reports are all negative news, then it seems... It doesn't matter if the reports are not reported. ?

Perhaps this young man was right?

Smith was silent for a while, and finally he could only say, "Okay, Wansheng, I just hope this doesn't affect the team's results, remember that relegation is the most important thing. Besides... this game Well done!"

"thanks."

Wan Sheng put down the phone and shook his head with a smile.

...

The voices in the media on the second day were divided into two factions. One faction made a brief report on the game. They were slightly surprised by Derby County's two-goal victory over Nottingham Forest. Layton complimented, and in conclusion, the faction is all about positive coverage of Derby County.

Most of these are neutral media from areas outside Derbyshire.

Only a fraction of them are local media.

Another faction is the local mainstream media, led by Derby County Sport, who don't talk much about Derby County's victory, as if the away victory at Nottingham Forest was a matter of course.

They seem to have lost interest in the team's victory, and there are not many mentions of Baker Alfred and Burton Reiter in the report. It's like these two young people's performance is flat, nothing special. The same can be said.

But their coverage of Derby County is a lot!

Most of the space is used to ridicule Derby County manager Wan Sheng for being arrogant and arrogant, not giving interviews, blocking ‘press freedom’, and being arrogant after winning two games.

All kinds of ridicule are coming!

This makes many Derby County fans feel very strange, they do not understand why the team won, but the team manager will be treated like this.

When they looked at it carefully, they suddenly realized: So it is!

At the press conference, the new coach of Derby County, a Chinese coach in his twenties, actually refused to be interviewed, and also bluntly stated that he would not accept any interview requests from Derby County Sports Daily, refusing to answer any questions from Derby County Sports News. " question.

If it is a famous football coach who offends Derby County Sports Daily, refuses to be interviewed, refuses to answer questions, it is not a big deal at all, but it is a pity that this Chinese coach is a nobody, and he has no influence in the football world. Arguably.

The "Derby County Sports News" is the most influential media in Derby County's local football news. They are the partner of the Derby County club, and their influence covers the entire Derby County and even the East Midlands.

The two sides are not a heavyweight.

"...This Chinese only led the team to win two games, which depended more on luck, but he was arrogant and refused to be interviewed, and threatened to accept any "Derby County Sports" in the future. In interviews, it is hard to imagine that a young coach from a football desert can be so arrogant."

"That's weird! Do we have to interview him? It's like the earth is going to revolve around him."

"Derby County Sports Daily" reporter Brookson's language on his personal feature is full of irony, "Insist on not being interviewed? Who does he think he is? We will not do any interviews with him in the future! Absolutely no! Wait until he wants to be interviewed again. , but when he finds that no one will interview him at all, he will realize that he is just a nobody!"

It's a bit of a direct insult.

But I have to admit that the influence of "Derby County Sports News" is not small, at least in Derby County, it completely overwhelms those big media, and Brookson is a fairly well-known reporter in "Derby County Sports News", even with many British When the big media speaks out, in the media world, his influence is still not small.

He and his "Derby County Sport" can control the local language of Derby County.

Many local tabloids have done a lot of follow-up reports. They described Wansheng as an arrogant villain. Derby County achieved three consecutive victories entirely by luck, and by luck, Wansheng became the head coach and won the victory regardless of the face. Everyone is very arrogant.

Wansheng was slandered as a useless guy for a while.

A lot of people talk about him, almost everyone in Derbyshire knows about him, and even in the East Midlands, he's a figure in the spotlight.

He was vilified and vilified again...

Strange things happened.

Wan Sheng is the head coach of Derby County. He led the team to three consecutive victories, but in the surrounding areas of Derby County, there are no good reports about him. On the contrary, in other parts of England, there are no reports about Wan Sheng. Less praise.

"A young and energetic Chinese coach!"

"Maybe he can succeed in the future!"

"Under the leadership of this young coach, Derby County's relegation situation is very good!"

The local Derby County fans were at a loss.

Fans and readers of Derby County will subscribe to some newspapers and periodicals. More reports about football come from newspapers. In the era when the Internet has not yet been widely used, reports and TV reports are the most mainstream news sources. The influence of Derby County Club is obviously in Not much was mentioned in the TV coverage, and the live broadcast of the game was only available on certain football channels.

So newspapers are the most mainstream news sources.

Generally, fans and readers of Derby County will subscribe to several newspapers, half of which are local Derby County newspapers, and the other half are major English media, such as "Manchester Sports News", "The Guardian", "The Sun" and so on.

As a result, the reports they found about Derby County in the local media were all negative news, while the reports found in the big media in England contained a lot of positive news. Some reports also praised Derby County's achievements and the young head coach. Wansheng.

This is... so weird.

Derby County local fans and readers don't know who to trust.
