The press conference erupted in laughter.

Nottingham Forest coach Hart, on the other side of the rostrum, simply didn't continue to be interviewed, just looked at Zhang Yang with a wry smile, he didn't expect Zhang Yang's words to be so sharp, and he didn't expect that he really dared to say anything!

That's going to get you in trouble!

Zhang Yang's expression just now is equivalent to saying 'your mother gave birth to you because she had an affair', or 'you are not your father's child', and everyone can understand the connotation.

And so the controversy came.

Although Zhang Yang said it very gently, that is what he meant in his words.

As the manager of a Championship team, this kind of rhetoric will definitely be noticed by the FA, and under normal circumstances, it is inevitable that the matter will be investigated, and then it will be subject to warnings and fines.

And that's not the point.

The FA's fines are generally based on the severity of the matter, and the income of the club and the manager, Zhang Yang is definitely not among the high-income coaches, and he receives a fine of up to a few thousand pounds.

Millwall Club pays.

It's no problem to be flamboyant.

The key point of this approach is that it will directly offend the media!

If a journalist is humiliated, he will be humiliated by the media he represents, and then Millwall, or rather, Zhang Yang, will have to prepare for the stormy pressure of public opinion.

"Still too young!" Hart sighed.

Zhang Yang was still smiling, as if he had just said 'good morning', the reporter's face turned red with anger, and a wave of anger piled up in his heart, and he said fiercely, "You will regret saying that!" ”

Zhang Yang shrugged absently.

There was no need for the press conference to continue.

The media got the big news they wanted – the London Sports News reporter was ruthlessly abused in public by Millwall's young manager. This kind of gossip news is much more interesting than the competition!

Zhang Yang walked out of the venue.

Like Hart thought, it would be a bit of a hassle to do that, but so what? In the constant negative reports of the media, he wants to vent!

What luck?

Dog-!

Lao Tzu led the team with ability!

Most of the media don't believe this, but Zhang Yang is still very generous, and he doesn't care whether the media believes it or not.

Doesn't matter.

But when watching the reports of various media, Zhang Yang has long had his own division of the media: one is the 'support faction', such as "BBC TV", "The Times" and other media, which have affirmed his ability in their reports, and also affirmed Millwall's recent achievements.

These are the 'supporters'.

The Guardian, The Sun and other regional media are 'neutrals', they don't care about the ability to publicize it, they don't care about Millwall's results, they just interview and find some news, they don't report on it.

The 'opposition' camp has two members: Football News and London Sports News.

Both are medium-sized media outlets.

Their situation is much better than that of small media, and they can't catch up with the big media, and their influence is only in the London region, and there are basically no user readers in other regions, and they are all looking to develop, mainly reporting Championship news, and the way to attract users is to constantly report new content, exclusive interviews, and importantly, to keep making big news.

The reporter of "London Sports News" deliberately wanted to provoke the public, so as to create the big news he wanted.

This is their means.

Zhang Yang knew what the other party was going to do, if he was really provoked, he would definitely say a lot about it, and that was the trap of the other party, so he chatted with the other party in a Sven way.

As for the results, he also has them in mind.

Penalty?

The situation of Millwall Club is like that, their salary income is also public, and the FA can't punish it too much, otherwise it will make other small clubs dissatisfied.

Public opinion pressure from the media?

It's already like this, how can it be worse? It is simply unrealistic to expect the media to report his good news.

Zhang Yang is not a person who passively waits for the other party to make a move.

On the way back with the team, Zhang Yang took the lead in counterattacking, and he logged on to Weibo to send an update message-

"As Millwall's manager, I regret the quality, ethics and professionalism of some of the media.

I also had to make a very regrettable decision -

From now on, Millwall FC and Neil Stadium do not welcome reporters from "Football Newspaper" and "London Sports News", please consciously detour the reporters of these two media ~~~"

When many people in the industry saw the news, their eyes widened, and they looked incredulous - this is to ban the media!

Shut down the media?

That might be the right of the big clubs.

For example, for the influential Manchester United club, the old coach Alex Ferguson is qualified to 'block' the media, he can refuse certain media interviews with bad relations, and even do not allow certain media to report on Manchester United.

Other influential top clubs have similar rights.

That's not the right, it's the influence, as long as the influence is up to standard, it's not that the club wants the media to interview, but the media comes to interview the club.

Does Millwall have this influence?

The answer is obvious.

So many people don't understand, especially the "banned" is still "British Football News" and "London Sports News", these two focus on the Championship coverage, and have a certain influence in the London region, and are the media that report the most on Millwall. Without Football News and London Sports News, who would have reported on Millwall?

Millwall will then be unknown because fans can't find it on the news.

"It's so irrational!"

Many industry insiders commented.

After all, there are only a few people in the industry, most of the fans are supportive, and the Millwall fans are all raising their hands to support, because Millwall's recent results are very good, and they are extremely satisfied with Zhang Yang's coaching, no matter what the media says 'incompetent', 'inexperienced', 'too young', but the team has been winning, and that is the most important thing.

Other fans are a little more sensible.

So they immediately looked up what happened to make Zhang Yang send such a Weibo.

Soon they found it.

After the match between Millwall and Nottingham Forest, there was a lot of relevant news, and the Times, The Sun and other big media were involved, and the victory of Millwall became less important in comparison.

One of the better comments was, "The London Sports News reporter angered Millwall manager Zhang Yang, and the young Chinese went into a rage on the spot and greeted the reporter with insulting words!" ”

If the review is poor, he will directly say, "The Millwall coach openly insults reporters!" ”

This matter is in trouble.

When I got back to the club, the aftermath began to have an impact.

Although it was already ten o'clock in the evening, the chairman of the club, Gregory, still called and asked anxiously, "Zhang! What the hell is going on? I heard you had a bad falling out with a reporter from London Sports News? also posted on Weibo that he would 'ban' "London Sports News" and "British Football News"? ”

"Isn't that too much? We can talk to them, otherwise the club will be under a lot of pressure and I'm afraid it will affect the team's results, and we need these two media outlets to do the same, they are the ones with the most coverage of the Championship in the London Region! ”

Grigory looked worried.

The chairman's inquiry must be taken seriously, and Zhang Yang patiently explained, "Mr. Grigori, first of all, I assure you that the team's results will not be affected in any way!" ”

"It's all about those damn reporters looking for trouble! As you should know, since I became head coach, the medium-sized media in London haven't reported any good news, and our results have always been good, but the media has been in negative news! Why is that? Because of my youth! I'm Chinese! I'm the talking point! They are reluctant to admit that a young Chinese has the ability to lead the Championship and achieve good results. So they kept looking for all kinds of reasons, and they deliberately tried to smear me and the club......"

"You should have seen this in the report!"

Gregory was silent for a moment, then said, "That's true, but we need the media too!" In any club's operation, fame is very important, and if we can keep it in the news, fame equals profit, otherwise ......"

"You don't have to worry!" Zhang Yang said confidently, "It is indeed important to report, but that is in the case of poor team results, as long as the team's results are maintained, those big media will take the initiative to interview, we don't have to care about those small media at all!" ”

"You're right to say that......" Grigory hesitated.

"And I don't think the reports are useful, they have been doing negative reports, and I can't think of any use other than the impact on my personal image and the image of the club. Any team is only the result that matters, we don't need to maintain a good relationship in all aspects, as long as we can win! ”
