Chapter 262 ZY TV's interview request

Millwall was quite excited.

After the game, the Millwall fans in the audience still sat in the middle of the stadium, constantly reminiscing about the game and experiencing the feeling of victory together.

The Millwall players were also on the pitch celebrating excitedly, and everyone hugged each other.

It's like just winning the championship, but in fact, it's just a league game, and when a Manchester United player comes off the field, he can't help but say sourly, "Just win a league game, it looks like winning the championship!" ”

"I don't know!"

This quote comes from Alan Smith.

Joey Healy, who was passing by, just heard it, so he naturally couldn't pretend that he didn't hear it, and immediately roared with a vicious expression, "Boy, do you want to fight?" ”

Alan Smith is a well-known bad boy, but 'bad' has to be divided with whom, Joey Healy's rude appearance is like a street gang-social uncle, who is very difficult to mess with at first glance, or a player who has played in the lower league, there is really no guy to mess with.

Plus, it's Neal Stadium.

If there is a conflict with the opposing player on the home court of another team, the result will not be good, Alan Smith snorted coldly, decisively took a brisk step, and quickly left the field.

Joey Healy also added arrogantly behind him, "Eggless boy!" ”

Alan Smith almost didn't breathe in anger, but he remembered Joey Healy's name.

The other Manchester United players didn't look at the Millwall players very well, the kind of eyes that were either contemptuous or hateful, it was really unpleasant, and there was no friendship between them.

Thankfully, the game was over.

Even the most mindless players know what happens at the end of the game, and there will never be a good result.

"Wait for the next fight! When you get to Old Trafford, you've got you covered! ”

There are quite a few Manchester United players who are thinking.

There was such discord between the players on both sides, and the atmosphere between the two managers was not good.

Zhang Yang waited in the middle of the bench, where he stood for a long time, and Ferguson seemed reluctant to come over, but out of the rules of the regular game, he still walked over, his face gloomy in the process.

Zhang Yang took the initiative to reach out his hand.

Ferguson just slapped his hand, then turned around and walked away, Zhang Yang hurriedly pointed at the camera on the side, and said loudly, "Look at it!" How rude! That's jazz demeanor! ”

Ferguson was so angry that he didn't turn around.

Zhang Yang shrugged his shoulders a little regretfully, and then followed a group of players into the players' tunnel.

There are quite a few reporters who have been waiting in the mixed zone for a long time.

The level of attention to this game is different from previous league games, and the direct clash between the league's second 'dark horse' Millwall and Manchester United is enough to attract the attention of all England, and there are many media outlets throughout Europe and even the world.

After the competition, the number of reporters in the mixed area was also very large, all of them exceeded 200, or because of the limited area of the mixed passage, some reporters came late and were stopped by security guards and were not allowed to enter.

There is a mixed area for interviews on the pitch so that reporters can interview the players who are coming from the pitch, and the coach is not included in the interview, because the head coach has to attend a press conference and can walk directly through the back passage.

Of course, players can do that, but often players will take the initiative to give interviews, which is not bad for improving their reputation.

Journalists in England don't have a good impression of the 'outsiders', but they don't hesitate to praise Millwall's players, because many of the players are English players, and most of the others are also European players, and star players are always popular.

Darren Bent is the favourite.

Some journalists even forwent interviews with Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, scrambling to surround Darren Bent, who was the undisputed man of the match with two of his goals helping Millwall beat Manchester United.

Darren Bent has a little experience in dealing with reporters, but it is the first time to deal with so many reporters, he is a little excited, and when asked by reporters about his 'mood', Bent made a thanks, "I want to thank the boss first, that is, Zhang Yang, the boss is a very good head coach, and he also trusts me. I chose to join Millwall because the boss's sincerity touched me! ”

'I'm sure he's a good manager and Millwall would be a good team. Now I was right, the boss was hesitant to let me start or Braniff before playing Manchester United, and he chose me. I'm glad I lived up to the trust of my boss, two goals, and when I scored the second goal, I couldn't believe it! ”

Darren Bent was about to say something, but he saw Zhang Yang shouting himself in the distance, he could only say apologetically, and then walked over.

"Let's go to the press conference! You deserve it! Zhang Yang said with a smile.

Darren Bent was even more excited.

After Darren Bent left, other players also became the subject of media interviews, and Branifer was also one of the protagonists, reporters focused on the assists contributed by Braeniff, so he talked with great interest about how he 'selflessly' gave up the opportunity to Darren Bent in the process of the last goal, "In fact, I can score if I choose to shoot!" The chances of Darren are better! I'm sure Darren will score, yes, I trust him! ”

"Football is the luck of eleven people, the strength of the team is important and I know I should do it! Darren needs to score, and his number of goals is still too small. ”

'For me, it's okay to score one less goal because I'm still in the top three scorers......

Josh Simpson next to him rolled his eyes when he heard this, and he finally discovered another side of Braniff, "This guy has an exaggerated personality, it's just that it's not easy to get along with, it turns out that when he faces reporters, he will show this side: so cheeky to brag himself!" ”

According to Braniff, he is a saint who is good at cooperating, taking care of his teammates, and giving opportunities to others.

But in reality?

Few people in the team could stand him.

However, it must be admitted that Braniff was quite good in the game, and a large part of the credit for the final goal was due to him.

That pass was really amazing!

In that case, Braniff would pass the ball to Darren Bent, and if it were him, it might be a different option.

Josh Simpson rarely echoed Braniff's words, which made the latter even more ecstatic, feeling that his selfless passing had been duly recognized and respected.

————

While Braniff was balancing the press conference with reporters, the press conference was a different kind of scene, and Zhang Yang entered the venue with Darren Bent, just in time to hear Ferguson's 'unconvinced' speech, "I was disappointed because there was only one team playing in the game and the other team was trying to keep not conceding a goal. ”

"The opponents have played well in the previous games, but this one I only saw their defense. It was a bit unfair, we played a good football and then we scored two goals and we lost the game. ”

'If I were a Millwall fan and spend £25 to watch a game like this, I would be very disappointed......

Ferguson's speech was stunned by the reporters on the spot.

It turns out that the loss can still be explained in this way?

"I'm sure every Millwall fan will be very happy with the game!" Zhang Yang shouted to announce that he had come to the scene, and then walked to the stage opposite Ferguson before continuing, "If Sir Ferguson doesn't believe it, you can find someone to do a questionnaire, it's not a difficult thing." On the contrary, I don't think the United fans will be satisfied, they have travelled from Manchester to Dogs' Island and only saw one defeat. A lot of fans will definitely feel that they shouldn't come. And our fans will be very happy with the win because we won Manchester United! (PS: Dog Island: Name of the Thames Island near Neil Stadium)

"Win Manchester United!" Zhang Yang sighed, constantly mentioning the victory, his words were like a knife to Ferguson's heart, "Yes, we won, Manchester United lost, 2-1!" Win at home, I'm glad the team won! United were three points behind them and now they can't catch up. Six points, it's interesting, we are finally solid in the league position. ”

Ferguson was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, only to realize that the young man in front of him spoke so sharply.

But in fact, Zhang Yang didn't play at all.

Zhang Yang has always known that Ferguson's saliva is very powerful, before Mourinho came to the Premier League, the Premier League was Ferguson's home stadium alone, and he kept spraying this team and that team, as if he was very powerful.

In fact?

Ferguson's 'language ability' can only be said to be very average, the powerful thing is Manchester United and his status in English football, the average coach leads the team to a worse performance than him, and he is also worried about annoying Manchester United, which has a 'heavyweight influence', and he doesn't want to spray with him at all.

Mourinho is not afraid.

Every time a war of words broke out between Mourinho and Alex Ferguson, it was always Mourinho who emerged victorious.

It's the same now.

What was Ferguson talking about? He deliberately downplayed Manchester United's defeat and satirized Millwall's conservative play?

This is unbearable!

So Zhang Yang continued to fight back with 'we won, Manchester United lost'.

In the face of failure, Ferguson had nothing to say, he could only turn around and leave angrily, Zhang Yang didn't care at all, shook his head and sighed and added, "Grace! Demeanor! ”

In fact, Zhang Yang also has a lot of respect for Ferguson.

Alex Ferguson is a respectable manager, and his Manchester United have dominated the Premier League for 10 years, which is enough to prove that he is excellent at leading the team.

It's not easy for a coach to stay on a team for a long time, and it's even harder to keep the team dominant, and many teams have a very short period of success, and after two or three seasons, they quickly degenerate, including the giants.

But United did it.

Manchester United's dominance lasted for 10 years, and only Arsenal had a chance to challenge them in the middle of the game, and the other teams didn't even get a chance, so it was quite remarkable.

But so what?

When you really play against Manchester United and stand on the opposite side of Ferguson, you can feel the hatred of this old man, 'relying on the old and selling the old', 'arrogant', 'old-fashioned and stubborn', 'disrespecting the opponent', etc., a series of words can be put on Ferguson's head, he is a respectable manager, but definitely not a respectable opponent.

————

The British media reported overwhelmingly on the match between Millwall and Manchester United that night.

'Darren Bent scored twice', 'Zhang Yang and Ferguson's post-match verbal exchange', 'Branifer's selflessness', etc., all became the subject of post-match reports and fans.

This time, there was no report to criticize Zhang Yang or Millwall.

There were many reports that were not optimistic about Millwall, thinking that playing against Manchester United would be their first defeat, and there were various analytical lineups, all kinds of disfavorable, but as soon as the game ended, all the negative topics died down, and all that remained was positive reports, and even the London area media, which were 'not very friendly' to Millwall, opened up their words to praise Millwall, and also raised the game victory to the level of 'London football beat Manchester'.

England's 'North-South Football Encounter' has always been a topic of interest for fans.

This has its roots in history.

For example, in China, you probably won't understand how there is a 'north-south division' of football teams, but England's historical heritage is like this, and it has entered the 21st century, and the division between north and south is still obvious.

Manchester is the representative city of northern football, and the representative teams of northern football are Manchester United and Liverpool.

Southern football, of course, is London.

In the past 100 years, northern football has been dominant, and the 'southern football' represented by the capital has been suppressed, and even Arsenal's historical achievements have nothing special to talk about, compared with the glorious Liverpool, Arsenal is really nothing.

The two best teams of the last decade have been Manchester United and Arsenal, and their clash between them has been dubbed the 'English derby'.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, football in the London Region has grown considerably, and now there are Chelsea, Fulham, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Charlton Athletic and Millwall in the Premier League, all six of which are from the London Region.

London fans are also desperate for 'Southern football' to beat 'Northern football'.

Manchester United are not easy to beat, even last season's champions Chelsea have not been able to beat Manchester United, and their two meetings with Manchester United have resulted in one draw and one defeat.

Millwall did.

Even the media that 'hate' Millwall can't say anything, and if they publish unfavorable reports about Millwall at this time, it will definitely cause disgust among many fans, who don't want to be complained about hundreds of times in one night.

At the time of public opinion, many Premier League managers also stood up and commented on Manchester United's loss, and Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said, "Maybe we have another competitor? ”

That being said, the Portuguese's expression also revealed a disdain for Millwall, who did not think that Millwall could compete with Chelsea, because Millwall is only a small club, and it is difficult for a small club to maintain its results all the time, and it is already a miracle that he can not pull points for Chelsea now.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger did not talk about Manchester United, but praised Zhang Yang, "Zhang Yang is a young man with a lot of ideas!" The future of football belongs to such a young man and it is no surprise that he can succeed and it is no surprise that Millwall can beat Manchester United. ”

The next day, after a day off, Zhang Yang got up a little late, but he still came to the club, sat in his office and began to think about the idea of Braniff and Josh Simpson changing positions.

But before I could get to work, there was a knock on the office door.

Bronau-Burleigh walked in and said, "Zhang, Mr. Ebenezer asked me to inform you that there are reporters who want to interview you, and besides, they seem to want to make a ......."

"Journalists from which media?" Zhang Yang is a little impatient, he doesn't give interviews on weekdays.

"It's a very influential Chinese media." Boehly explained, "I wouldn't have come if it weren't for a Chinese journalist, and Mr Ebenezer believes that being interviewed by a Chinese journalist is good for raising the club's profile in China and good for your reputation." ”

Zhang Yang hesitated.

If it is a local British journalist, he will refuse without even thinking about it, but domestic reporters should think about it, as Boehly said, there are many advantages to being interviewed by domestic reporters, and there are no disadvantages.

Zhang Yang finally agreed.

He walked to the meeting room with Burleigh, and when he saw the reporter, Zhang Yang immediately knew that he had not come in vain, because he was an interview with a reporter from the program team of ZY TV.
