Chapter Seventy-Eight, Won't Let You Down
At noon on September 25, the press conference hall at Old Trafford was already full of people. There is still half an hour before the press conference. At this time, reporters from major British sports media have already been waiting in the hall. Reporters from the three major newspapers of "The Daily Telegraph", "The Times" and "Guardian" are sitting in the hall. In the front row, Wolf of The Sun also sat in a front row, and Hall of the Manchester Evening News also sat in it.
In addition to the reporters of these big newspapers, some English tabloid reporters also squeezed their heads to participate in the press conference. Before the press conference, all the seats in the audience were full, and even a simple bench was temporarily added in the aisle in the middle of the seats.
All reporters are very curious, what exactly will Jin Taige say today.
Never in the history of the Premier League has a manager apologised to another manager so humbly.
Before waiting for Jin Taige to arrive, all the reporters talked a lot.
One of the most talkative is Wolf of The Sun.
"Friends, today is really a rare encounter. Jin Taige, who has always been sharp-edged, actually bowed his head to others. I really want to see Jin Taige's expression right now. It will be very interesting."
"Daily Telegraph" reporter Karo Yinke also felt very curious: "According to what I know about Jin Taige, he is not a person who will easily admit defeat. Take his weekly 'dart competition' as an example. Every time he plays very seriously, sometimes we think that he is not playing a game, but treats the dart board as a Premier League game. How can such a serious and stubborn person bow to others so easily?"
The Guardian reporter Toynby also nodded and said: "Yeah, last week Kim Tiger won the darts championship that week. He was as excited as winning the league championship. I can't imagine it. Such a young head coach, who is full of chasing victory, will concede defeat to his competitors?"
Hearing the two of them talk about a "dart game", Wolff suddenly became annoyed.
The darts competition held by Jin Taige this season is once a week. At first, he invited reporters from several well-known newspapers. Later, more and more people gathered, and even reporters from some local small newspapers also joined it. Despite this, Kim Tiger never paid any attention to The Sun, let alone sent an invitation to Wolff, which made Wolff very unhappy.
This is obviously looking down on me!
It is precisely because of this that Wolff's criticism of Jin Taige in the "Sun" has intensified. On the one hand, it is to raise attention by scolding famous people, and on the other hand, it is also to vent his dissatisfaction.
After listening to the conversation between Caro Yinke and Toynbee, Wolff curled his lips: "It's just a moment and a while. At the beginning of the season, Kintiger was smug, and at that time he shouted that he would win the triple crown in the new season. Well. But just after 5 rounds, many of his team's main players are injured. How far can Jin Taige go with such a team of veteran soldiers? Just admit it early. Save the embarrassment at the end of the season.”
At this time, "The Times" reporter Leslie said with a smile: "It seems that the "Sun" has achieved a lot this year, and being able to sign a 'jumping river contract' with Kim Tiger has already attracted enough attention. In this situation, it seems that your Sun newspaper has a higher probability of winning, and by the end of the season, whether Jin Taige jumps into the river or not, The Sun newspaper will gain a lot."
Hearing this, Wolff said proudly: "You are wrong. At the end of the season, whether Jin Taige wants to or not, he will have to follow the contract, whether he wants to jump into the river or not! I will definitely Invite you in advance to come and see the fun."
All the reporters were talking, but Hall, a reporter from the Manchester Evening News, was silent.
The Guardian reporter Toynbee gave him a look: "Hall, why are you so reticent today? Is there anything you're unhappy about?"
Wolff laughed: "The head coach of the team he supports is about to be embarrassed, and of course he is depressed now. Wolff, I suggest you "Manchester Evening News" to stay close to Manchester City from tomorrow, now there are Money's Manchester City is the focus of the entire European football, and after Ferguson left, Manchester United will soon be reduced to a desolate aristocrat."
The reporters were talking a lot. At this moment, Woodward, the CEO of the club, walked into the press conference hall. The protagonist of today, Jin Tiger, came in with him.
"It's Woodward, why is he here?"
"Yeah, as the CEO of the club, it's amazing that he would come to a small pre-Carabao Cup press conference."
Five minutes ago, as King Tiger walked toward the press conference hall, he found Woodward waiting for him in the passage: "I've been waiting for you, dear Tiger."
"What are you waiting for me?" Jin Taige was taken aback.
"Of course I was at the press conference with you," Woodward said confidently.
Jin Taige couldn't help laughing and crying: "Isn't it too exaggerated that you, the CEO of Manchester United, have to attend such a small press conference?"
Woodward shook his head. "Since I saw your apology this morning, I decided to go to the press conference with you."
"You're worried about me?" Jin Taige asked.
"Of course not! From what I know about you, and your talent as a lawyer, journalist, diplomat, and actor, I'm sure that you will say something unexpected today. I'll wait and see and wait for your wonderful performance. ' Woodward winked at Kim Tiger.
Jin Taige shrugged: "Okay, I hope you won't be disappointed."
"You've never let me down, haha."
Woodward and Kim Tiger walked into the press conference hall and sat on the seats in the center of the podium. Under normal circumstances, when the pre-match press conference is held, the head coach will bring a player, and it is generally customary to bring the team captain. But because today's game was scheduled for 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Jin Taige did not bring any players in order to allow the players to have a good rest at noon.
But these are not important, because the reporters present today don't care about other people, they are only interested in Jin Taige, and everyone is looking at Jin Taige curiously.
Not to mention others, even Woodward, who was sitting next to Jin Taige, looked at Jin Taige with great anticipation. He thought to himself: Jin Taige, I hope today, as you said, don't let me down!
