Chapter 5: Blogger Godman!
It was the second matchday of the Premier League.
There are 10 matches in each round of 20 teams in the Premier League, and by the second matchday, there are only two games to be played, one is the 'farmer' Fulham vs Blackburn, and the other is the 'Gunners' Arsenal and Bolton Wanderers.
When Zhang Yang came home from work, the first game was almost finished, and the second game was just about to start.
Zhang Yang decided to use text live broadcast to attract the attention of fans.
When there is half an hour before the start of the game, he is familiar with the player lists of the two teams in advance, understands the characteristics and abilities of each player, and when it comes to the text live broadcast, he does not need to say 'the number of players of such and such a team', but directly say the player's name, which will appear to be 'more knowledgeable about the ball'.
Finally, the time is almost up.
Zhang Yang opened the live broadcast screen, and another webpage opened Weibo, and five minutes before the start of the game, he sent out the first Weibo update message--
"The following 'personality publicity' brings you a new experience of the Premier League match text live broadcast!"
This message is a teaser.
Although the account has the attention of thousands of followers, the effect of this message is not very good, and I have waited for a long time after sending it, and there are only three comments below--
"The blogger is talking again?"
"Do a text live stream? Looking forward to being as godly as yesterday! ”
"Bubbling!"
Zhang Yang looked at the pitiful three comments and thought about it carefully to know why.
Yesterday was the match between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, and most of the fans were fans of the two teams, but today it became a match between Arsenal and Bolton, and the fan base has changed, and it is unrealistic to expect Chelsea fans to watch Arsenal games.
Zhang Yang was not discouraged, but just waited seriously.
If it is other text live media, before the start of the game, it will introduce the situation of the two teams, such as why a certain player did not play, the performance of a certain star player in the last game, etc., but Zhang Yang will not do that, he is just waiting for the game to start.
Finally, as the referee's whistle blew, the game began.
"It's time to use your abilities!"
Zhang Yang smiled and drew three playing cards.
"Three of spades, nine of hearts, six of spades." He muttered in his mouth, but there was a series of game images in his mind.
That was the next five minutes of the game between Arsenal and Bolton.
Of all the game footage, the most impressive was none other than Arsenal striker Bergkamp's cross from outside the box, Henry's header was saved by Bolton goalkeeper Jascoleneen.
Zhang Yang typed the first Weibo message for the game--
"Arsenal are better than Bolton, sitting on home advantage, and they will inevitably press hard at the beginning. With the help of veteran Bergkamp, Henry will have a chance. But Bolton's goalkeeper Jascolainen will be the biggest obstacle for Henry to complete the goal! ”
This piece of news seems to be bland, but it reveals a lot of information.
A very small number of fans who paid attention to the update news of 'Personality Publicity' immediately replied--
"Where do you see that Jascolainen is in good shape?"
"Of course Henry has a chance!"
"Arsenal are always on the offensive and everyone knows they're pressing!"
Seeing these news, Zhang Yang just smiled faintly, until the game appeared in that scene: Bergkamp picked up a cross into the penalty area, and Henry's header was saved.
Zhang Yang started a new round of divination.
"Block Four, Block Nine, Block J!"
"Flush!?"
"Will there be a goal?"
The next moment a clear picture appeared in my mind, Bolton midfielder Campo took a corner, striker Petersen's header was saved, and in front of the Arsenal penalty area, midfielder Speed rushed into the pile and fired into the net.
Bolton are going to score!
The second Weibo message for the game was immediately sent out--
'Arsenal have to defend without forgetting it. Next, Bolton counter-attack is likely to find an opportunity, there is a corner kick that needs special attention, Peterson and Speed need to be closely guarded, otherwise they will definitely be scored by Bolton! ”
This message was sent out more than the reply just now.
In just half a minute, there were more than a dozen messages at once--
"Bolton strikes back? No kidding! ”
'Now Arsenal are in complete control of the game, Bolton don't have a chance at all!'
"The blogger is grandstanding, and the identification is complete!"
"On the top floor!"
"If Speed can score, I'll eat the keyboard live!"
Seeing the reply of 'eating the keyboard', Zhang Yang finally replied to the message for the first time, "I look forward to it." ”
Soon there will be a reply message below, "If you don't score, you eat?" ”
"Yes."
The 'bet' between the two did not cause much turmoil, but the next game was absolutely unexpected by fans, and the situation seemed to be exactly like the 'personality publicity' Weibo update said, Bolton launched three waves of attacks in a row, making Arsenal tired for defense, Campo's kick ball, so that Peterson got a chance, and finally Speed made a supplementary shot into the net.
"Blogger Godman!"
The fans were stunned!
————
In fact, few fans who really watch the game will pay attention to Weibo messages.
This was the case at a pro-Arsenal fan bar in north London, where dozens of fans were always in attendance whenever there was an Arsenal game.
The fans prepared beer and other things to celebrate, and whenever Arsenal had a good performance, they drank beer together, and when Arsenal won the game, they celebrated together.
But not everyone is serious about watching the game.
Soccer matches can be tedious at times, especially when the tempo of both teams slows down, and the game can be a bit drowsy.
Hanson Davis was a twenty-year-old who got a job as a waiter in a bar instead of continuing his studies after graduating from high school.
He is also an Arsenal fan.
However, compared to those fanatical fans, he just likes the Arsenal stars and is not so enthusiastic about the game.
So when Arsenal played, he only occasionally offered drinks to the guests, and Davies also paid attention to the relevant Weibo news.
Davis didn't pay attention to the message from a 'flamboyant' account at first, but when he compared it to the game on the screen, he immediately became quite surprised.
After seeing Bolton actually finish the goal, Davies jerked to his feet and held up his phone and shouted, "Maybe you should look at this." ”
"What did you say?"
When Bolton scored and the fans in the bar were in a state of frustration, most of them didn't care about Hanson Davis, but after Davis stressed twice, there was a bald head who asked, "Hansen, what are you talking about?" ”
"Bildt, this is it! Look at it, Weibo! ”
"Weibo?"
"Yes, there was a guy who predicted Bolton Wanderers to score three minutes in advance!" Hansen Davis explained.
"That can't be!"
Bildt took his phone and looked at the message and the update time, "Are you sure?" ”
"Of course, I saw that just now."
There was a fat man next to him, who put the beer on the table, and leaned over to take a few looks, "Could it be a delay in the TV signal?" ”
"yes, it must be so, damn it!"
Bert said affirmatively, and others followed suit, but many people still asked Hanson Davis for a 'personality' Weibo account, and took out their mobile phones to pay attention.
Many people don't know how to play Weibo yet, some of them also download one, or get next to their friends to take a look, and soon they see that the 'personality' Weibo has been updated with a message--
"Bolton will have another chance! Arsenal have to pay attention to the defense. Ashley Cole will be the man of the defense! ”
