Zhang Shun first arrived at London's Siathrow Airport on the morning of that day. (No pop-up ads)

The fatigue of the long flight did not make him sluggish, and his eyes were bright, and he knew that this was a quick man.

Instead of staying in the capital of the British Empire, Zhang Shun boarded a train from London to Newcastle.

British Rail is privately owned, and even the tracks are privately owned. Fares are not cheap compared to China, with fares from London to Newcastle generally costing between £30 and £50 each way. In particular, train fares in the UK are fluctuating, and planning ahead and buying in advance can cost a lot less, and there is a lot of difference between first-class and regular fares. This time, because it was a temporary trip, Wang Yang only helped Zhang Shun buy a train ticket for more than ten hours in advance, so the ticket price was relatively expensive, a one-way ticket from London to Newcastle cost 108 pounds, and generally if you book ten days in advance, it only costs thirty or forty pounds! 108 pounds of train tickets, this can be called the most expensive train ticket Zhang Shun has ever bought. Although this train ticket can be reimbursed, it still makes him tremble in distress.

Sitting on the train, Zhang Shunxian had no intention of admiring the exotic scenery outside the train window, he kept writing, drawing, and thinking in a notebook. Yang Fan's birth has aroused great interest in this veteran sports media worker, and he is considering making a big topic.

And the key to this topic is this interview with Yang Fan. He presets a variety of questions in his notebook, as well as some possible contingencies in case of unexpected situations. This is the experience he has summed up in his work over the years, and he has never fought a battle that he is uncertain about.

"Uncle Zhang, here. Wang Yang was already waiting at the exit of the train station, and when he saw Zhang Shun dragging his luggage out first, he waved his hand and shouted loudly.

Looking at this energetic young man, Zhang Shunxian's face showed a smile, he admired Wang Yang, from this young man's body, he saw the spirit of his work and life just now.

"Good car. Zhang Shun got into the car first and said with a smile.

"Rented. Wang Yang said while driving, "Knowing that you are coming, I rented this car, and I think it will be more convenient to rent a car." ”

"Hmm. Not bad. Zhang Shunxian nodded, "Give me the rental invoice when the time comes, and I will reimburse you." ”

"That's embarrassing. Wang Yang said awkwardly.

"I'm not happy, forget it. ”

"Ahh Zhang Shunxian immediately laughed.

"Uncle Zhang, where are you going now?" Wang Yang asked Zhang Shunxian while driving.

Zhang Shunxian opened his notebook and did not answer immediately. Wang Yang knew Zhang Shunxian's habits, and he didn't ask. Sure enough, half a minute later, Zhang Shunxian sorted out the work schedule again and said, "At this time, is Rigburton's training over?"

"Probably not. Wang Yang replied.

"Then go to Rigberton, I can't wait to meet this Yang Fan now. Zhang Shunxian smiled, "You don't know, as soon as our report about him came out, the response was very enthusiastic." ”

"Really?" Wang Yang was happy, he had the greatest credit for this report, and the response was enthusiastic, and he was naturally one of the happiest people.

"Well, everyone is very interested in Yang Fan. Zhang Shun nodded first and tapped on his notebook, "I summarized a few points, one is, how did Yang Fan come to Newcastle? Also, how did he get into the Newcastle youth team? What are his technical characteristics? Has he ever played in a domestic club? I can give an answer to this, I inquired, there is no club in China that has a young man named Yang Fan who has ever been in their echelon. Well, what fans are more concerned about is, is it possible for Yang Fan to enter the first team?

"In the first team, it's not possible for the time being. Wang Yang shook his head, "How can the first team be so easy to enter." In my opinion, it would be good for Yang Fan to continue to guarantee his place in the Newcastle youth team. The strength and level of Newcastle's youth team are no worse than those of the domestic Chinese Super League teams. ”

Regarding Wang Yang's statement, Zhang Shunxian nodded noncommittally.

"In addition, there are some people in the country who are skeptical. ”

"What do they suspect?" asked Wang Yang immediately, and at the same time skillfully turned the steering wheel and entered a main road, which merged with the rolling traffic.

"They don't believe that our report is true and that it is suspected of being fabricated. Zhang Shunxian said.

"Didn't they see the picture? Also, if they don't believe it, they can go to Newcastle's official website and see it for themselves. Wang Yang said angrily, this report is very successful, this is his achievement, he is proud, and now he is accused of making it up, this is the biggest humiliation for a 'media person', can he not be annoyed?

Zhang Shunxian smiled, "What are you anxious about." It's also a sad phenomenon to say that fans are so disheartened by Chinese football that they will now be skeptical of even some positive reports. What we want to do this time is to show a real, flesh-and-blood Yang Fan in front of everyone's eyes. Believe me, when the time comes, even those who are skeptical now will cheer for the fact that we can produce such a good young man. Doubt and disappointment are only because there is no hope, and even a glimmer of light will light up the expectation in the eyes. ”

"'Doubt and disappointment are only because there is no hope in sight, and even a glimmer of light will light up the expectation in the eye. Wang Yang silently recited this sentence in his heart, read it twice, and then he nodded heavily, "Uncle Zhang, I understand." ”

"Got it, just drive well. Zhang Shunxian smiled with satisfaction, "British people are just different from others, they have to drive on the left side, otherwise I can have a good time." ”

"I can't trust your driving skills. Wang Yang quipped.

"Stinky boy. ”

Alexon Owens, the janitor at the Rigburton training base, looked in surprise at the two dusty Chinese in front of him, who claimed to be journalists who had come from China to interview Yang Fan.

Yang Fan has been excellent during this time, and Alexon Owens is definitely the happiest person, he knows best how hard this Chinese young man is!

Hearing that these two people were Yang Fan's compatriots and came to interview Yang Fan, Alexon Owens was very polite, but these two people did not have interview certificates, so he naturally couldn't let them in, and could only report to the top.

Yang Fan is still part of Newcastle's Under-19 youth team, so Alexon Owens called youth team coach Kenny Washington.

Kenny Washington was studying the tactics of Sunderland, opponent in the next Youth League, and was surprised to hear the janitor say that there were two Chinese reporters who wanted to interview Yang Fan, one of whom was said to have just arrived from distant China. You must know that Yang Fan is just a youth team player, and he can't imagine that a youth team player can bother the media to come to interview him.

This is also Kenny Washington's ignorance of the current situation and poor living environment of Chinese football, and the current situation is very sweet for the Chinese football media, as long as it is a little bit of positive news that can bring uplifting energy.

"Is the lads' training over?" asked Kenny Washington.

"Not yet. Someone replied.

Hearing this, Kenny Washington turned to the janitor on the other end of the line and said, "Alexon, tell them, if you want an interview, go through the normal procedure." ”

Of course, Kenny Washington could not have been unaware that if he had followed the normal interview procedures, it was estimated that Yang Fan would have been in Germany when the two Chinese reporters were allowed to interview Yang Fan. However, what is this about him, the manager has never been interested in the media. Naturally, there is no obligation to sacrifice the team's training and meet the media's requirements for interviews.

Alexon-Owens looked at the two Chinese slightly apologetically, "Sorry, distant friend." What Mr. Washington means is that you need to submit a formal interview request to the club, and then we'll arrange for an interview. ”

Hearing the janitor's answer, Zhang Shunxian and Wang Yang were a little disappointed. However, there was no other way but to leave first, and then make a formal interview request to Newcastle and wait for notice.

"Have you noticed?" Back in the car, Zhang Shun said to Wang Yang first.

"What?" Wang Yang replied casually as he started the car, stepped on the accelerator lightly.

"We said that we came to interview Yang Fan, and the attitude of the janitor changed. Zhang Shunxian said.

"Ah, I think so when you say that. Wang Yang said.

"What does this mean, it shows that Yang Fan is indeed good, otherwise even an old janitor has this attitude. Zhang Shunxian said, "Ordinary people are the most emotionally faithful, and they are not members of the club's public relations department with a formulaic smile." His attitude can only show that he likes Yang Fan, and even Yang Fan's fans. ”

Wang Yang glanced at Zhang Shunxian, who was talking eloquently, in surprise, and was grateful, knowing that Zhang Shunxian was teaching some work experience, and these details can only be understood after years of work accumulation.

"Where are we going now?" asked Wang Yang.

"Let's go to the hotel. Zhang Shun replied first. Then he pointed outside and continued, "Just find a place to live near this training base." It also makes it easier for us to interview. ”

Wang Yang nodded. Turn right at the front junction and he knows there is an express hotel there.

Zhang Shunxian was tired from the journey, so he sat in the passenger seat and closed his eyes to rest. It's just that the mood is a little irritable, and I thought it would be a smooth interview, but I didn't expect some twists and turns. Moreover, Zhang Shunxian always felt that something was wrong in his heart, and he couldn't tell what was wrong, but he felt that this interview might not be completed so easily.

"Wang Yang, how much do you know about this Yang Fan?" asked Zhang Shun first.

"I can't really talk about this, after all, I haven't been in direct contact. Wang Yang said, "However, there is one thing I think should be right, Yang Fan's character, how to say it, is more stubborn, not right, I will talk about these things, you can think about it yourself." As he spoke, he began to tell Yang Fan's anecdotes as he drove, focusing on the public bet that Yang Fan made with a reporter from the Newcastleville Post.

Zhang Shunxian's eyes narrowed, this young compatriot is really a little different......

He is looking forward to this interview even more.
