Chapter 35: Bridges

Catherine's inadvertent reminder allowed Zhang Yang to grasp the crux of the matter.

He took a closer look at the video of the game, and the part he paid the most attention to was the footage of Queens Park Rangers manager Bridges.

In the full-game video, Bridges didn't appear in many shots.

The half-balding middle-aged man, who is too ordinary-looking to attract the attention of spectators and the media, looks more like an ordinary staff member than the head coach of a side team when standing on the sidelines in a suit.

After viewing the video of the whole game, Zhang Yang still saw a few images of Bridges, and every time he appeared in front of the camera, he had a headphone plugged in his left ear.

It may have been used by the coach to make a call, or it may have been used for recording, Zhang Yang was not sure of his guess, but he found that Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson did not wear headphones, and then searched the web for the coaches of other games, and found that only a small number of managers would do so, but they would not wear headphones all the time.

After a series of searches and analysis, Zhang Yang somewhat confirmed his guess: this semi-bald middle-aged man was probably listening to the 'Voice of the Premier League' program, and because of this, he heard his judgment on the game, and then made targeted adjustments.

This judgment made Zhang Yang not know what his mood was.

In a way, it is a great affirmation that the manager of an English Championship team directs the game, adjusts tactics and personnel according to his own judgment of the game.

On the other hand, Zhang Yang has a feeling of 'ability being stolen'.

"See through the process of the game" is his ability, he uses his ability to share with the audience on the show to gain support, and the other party uses the content he shares to adjust the strategy for the game.

This is tantamount to indirectly 'stealing intelligence', and it also directly affects the accuracy of predictions.

For a whole night, Zhang Yang was thinking about it, he was a little psychologically unbalanced, a little worried, and a little funny about Bridges's approach, and he also had some expectations: If all the managers do this in the future, then he will become the one who really controls the game?

That's actually pretty good!

When he woke up the next morning, Zhang Yang figured it out a little, his judgment of the game was so accurate, no wonder Bridges would do that, which also showed that his high level of analysis of the game was an affirmation of his ability.

That's all he can think.

Because it's hard for him to do something.

"Maybe in the future, when we talk about the game, we will judge what is happening? This will not affect the game, even if the coaches of both sides listen to the show, there is no time to make adjustments. ”

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Yang's mood is much better.

The first day of the new week will be very busy, crowded all the way, when he walked into the office, Zhang Yang felt a little tired, he sat in the position to take a nap, but within a few minutes, many colleagues came.

"Zhang! Your show yesterday was fantastic! ”

"I listened to it all at home! It's really interesting to look at the TV screen, you say it first, and then it happens!"

"I doubt you're the reincarnation of God, yes, football God!"

"We listened in the office, and Isaiah played the radio, and it was funny, and Pol didn't say anything."

“……”

Everyone came around and chattered, and Zhang Yang could only laugh and deal with them one by one.

When Spoh arrived, he came over like everyone else, but what he said was much more substantial, "Zhang, you don't have to work today." In the morning, I went to the financial settlement of the salary, and in the afternoon, I could go to the personnel office of the headquarters, and Harris had already said hello. ”

Zhang Yang didn't understand who Harris was, but he still understood the general meaning.

Several colleagues cast envious glances.

Although they belong to the same BBC staff, the gap between the branch and the headquarters is still quite large, first of all, in terms of salary, the salary of the employees of the headquarters is higher, and the salary gap between ordinary employees and ordinary employees is about half a level.

From the perspective of salary, the transfer from the foreign media department to the headquarters is an improvement.

There will be many opportunities to leave the country when working in the headquarters, most of the headquarters are TV channel departments, there are many TV column groups, even the most ordinary staff members, will occasionally appear on the column to make a cameo.

Zhang Yang was valued by Lineker to go to the headquarters, and he will definitely be able to see him on TV in the future.

You can imagine how envious my colleagues are.

When it was time to work, the colleagues around him finally left, Zhang Yang enjoyed a rare quiet, and at this moment, he suddenly heard Andy ask with some inferiority, "Zhang, you are going to the headquarters tomorrow, I always feel a little awkward." Well, I've gotten a little used to you lately. I wonder if we'll be friends after you're gone? ”

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Of course, Andy, why do you say that?" ”

"I'm just a small person, and I never thought I'd make friends with big people." Andy whispered.

In any other setting, this might have been a travesty.

Zhang Yang smiled bitterly, "I'm just adjusting my work, what big people are not big people." And speaking of which, I'm still an intern. ”

Andy's eyes were full of affirmation, "No, Zhang, I'm sure you're going to be a big guy soon." I feel that way. I hope we can still be friends then. ”

"No matter what time it is, we will always be friends."

Zhang Yang said.

Andy is a good person and an ordinary person, he can't see it on weekdays, but his personality is actually a little inferior, maybe because he hasn't found a girlfriend at the age of thirty, or because he used to be a refugee.

But no matter what, Andy helped himself a lot, and he was also his first friend, and he felt a little sad at the thought of leaving, and there was no Andy behind him.

Just when the two big men were sad for the future, a shout came, "Zhang, someone outside is calling you!" ”

Zhang Yang saw a beautiful woman standing in front of the door.

That's Frida?

He walked over with some confusion and greeted Frida, "Evans, long time no see, what?" Something? ”

"It's him!"

Frida pointed to a half-bald middle-aged man in the hallway, "He looked for you, but he couldn't get in, so I brought him over." ”

"Thank you, Evans!"

Frida smiled sweetly, "By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet, I heard that you're going to the headquarters?" Maybe I'll see you on TV in the future. ”

"Thank you."

Zhang Yang expressed his gratitude again.

The two didn't know each other very well, just a day-long 'ex-colleague', and after a few words of greeting, Frida went back to work.

Zhang Yang looked at the half-bald middle-aged man, and the moment the other party turned around, he immediately shouted in surprise, "Bridges!" ”

"You know me?"

"Queens Park Rangers Manager!"

"What an honor!"

"I stared at you carefully for more than two hours yesterday!"

"That's my pleasure!"
