The scene of the press conference.

Zhang Yang glanced at the reporters in the audience, with a kind smile on his face, and many flashes shone through, and his expression did not change in the slightest.

Journalists began to ask questions.

But not for flamboyance, but for Ebenezer.

When the press officer announced the start of the press conference, Ebenezer opened his mouth and said that the question session should start with himself, citing that he had experience with the club and represented Millwall FC.

But everyone knows that this is a kind of protection for publicity.

Ebenezer knows what journalists are concerned about, starting with Millwall's situation: "After Dennis Wise's injury, the club had to find someone to replace him, but now that the winter break is approaching, it is very difficult to find the right fit, especially with the heavy post-Christmas fixture schedule, which is very important for us. ”

"Gregory is thinking about digging from within the club, we think the club should be more democratic, as you can see before, we did a fan support dig on the website, and Zhang won by a landslide......

Ebenezer then began to introduce Zhang Yang, "Zhang is a very good match commander, and our three consecutive wins have proven his ability. Many people think that he is just a young man, but young talents deserve more opportunities. ”

"Mr. Gregory and I are very sure that Zhang will be able to replace Wise's injured vacancy, which is to take over the managerial position and lead the team to the next league game."

Then the reporter began to ask questions constantly, and their questions were very pertinent—

"Mr. Ebenezer, how do you think a young man in his early twenties with no experience in professional football can do a good job as head coach of Millwall?"

"Why not Frederick?"

"I don't know what the fans think, but the voting on the site cannot be used as the only criterion for judging. What do you think about this? ”

"How could Millwall crush a young man in his early twenties?"

"Does Millwall have an idea to develop the Chinese market? Otherwise, why find a Chinese to be the head coach? ”

“……”

Every question is pertinent, and every question is difficult to answer.

Ebenezer still coped with it calmly, as if everything was unbearable, but the occasional refusal and the cold sweat on his forehead still showed that he was not as relaxed as he appeared.

Zhang Yang has been watching.

He was grateful for what Ebenezer had done to protect him, but there was no doubt that this was a press conference against him, and no matter what Ebenezer did, he would not be able to escape.

When Ebenezer frowned and faced a sharp-tongued reporter, Zhang Yang coughed vigorously, and immediately removed the fixed microphone and held it in his hand, his voice and movements attracted the attention of the audience.

Zhang Yang stood up with a smile on his face, "I think, Mr. Ebenezer has said enough, it's time for me to do now." ”

Ebenezer frowned slightly.

The reporters in the venue were all excited, they had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Ebenezer always has an official tone, no matter what the targeted questions are, they have become boring things in his mouth, if Ebenezer is kept answering, the big news will become small news, and the fans will find the report boring.

This Chinese is different!

As long as he is willing to speak, every sentence may be worth reporting!

Zhang Yang paced two steps on the rostrum, he was like a speaker who had just stepped onto the stage, calmly arranged his collar, and his coherent movements were not awkward at all, and then he said, "Everyone should know that this is a press conference for me." Here, I should be the main character. ”

"So let's give Mr. Ebenezer a little rest."

"At six o'clock, Millwall's official website announced a news about me, yes, yes, I became Millwall's manager. Actually, you guys got the news a little late, and I got my contract in the afternoon. ”

"Some people may wonder why the manager is determined so quickly?"

'The answer is very simple, because tomorrow is the game, if you don't know the manager, it will affect the game, it will affect the performance of the team, and every point now is very important for Millwall!'

Zhang Yang said a short paragraph, then pointed his hand to the audience, and when everyone didn't know why, he smiled, "By the way, as an aside, I don't think that Millwall's press conference to confirm the head coach will come to so many media." ”

"I just counted, there were 125 people in the room, and the people of the club, including Mr. Ebenezer and myself, there were only 9 people in total, and if you calculate it in elementary school math, there were 116 people here today!"

"116 people!" Zhang Yang opened his mouth exaggeratedly, "Sorry, I'm a little nervous!" You should be able to understand that, right? ”

"I was just wondering why a two-hour story could attract so many journalists. We're not Manchester United, we're not Chelsea, maybe they can't because two hours is too short! ”

"I thought of why, and that was because of me? Right, I'm too young! I have no experience as a professional player, nor do I have any experience with professional football, and I am still a Chinese, perhaps most of you, have never heard of Chinese football, yes, our country is a football desert in your understanding. ”

"Well, you're all here for me, anyway. I feel honored! I think it's a privilege to have the opportunity to be the manager of Millwall and I have to admit it's a rare opportunity and some people lack a certain amount of luck even if they have the ability. Obviously, I had very good luck. So here, I would like to thank Mr. Grigori who has trusted me and, of course, Mr. Ebenezer. ”

Zhang Yang turned around, seemingly a little thirsty.

He picked up the mineral water on the table, took a sip, and then took the bottle and paced, "But I think it may also be Millwall's luck, because I will help the team to win more games." ”

"Of course, this is not yet confirmed, but time will tell."

"Alright, let's move on to the Q&A."

Zhang Yang sat down after speaking.

The audience became noisy, and many reporters couldn't believe their ears, what did this young Chinese say just now?

Is he the lucky one for Millwall as head coach?

It's ridiculous!

They came to Millwall's press conference, and it was the right decision, and that sentence alone was enough to laugh for two days!

When the press conference entered the question session, many reporters spontaneously quieted down, and then raised their hands one by one.

The press officer called a front-row reporter.

It was a Sky Sports reporter, and there are very few Sky Sports reporters at the press conference of the average Championship team, and they will basically only cover the top big clubs.

This reporter is a middle-aged man with eyes, he has a Sven expression, and he is a little inconspicuous in the crowd, but no one dares to underestimate a "Sky Sports" reporter, and the news they cover is basically on TV as long as it can be reported.

Sven's eyed man got up and asked, "Mr. Zhang, can I call you that?" ”

"Of course, your Chinese pronunciation is very standard."

Sven-eyed man continued, "You just said that you are lucky for Millwall to become the head coach, maybe I can take this as confidence? But do you know that being the manager of a Championship team at your age is not in line with the mainstream view? The consensus is that your qualifications are not the right fit for a responsible managerial role. Do you have anything to say about that? ”

Zhang Yang looked at the other party with a smile and asked rhetorically, "Do you think the mainstream view of the outside world is that I am not suitable to be the head coach of Millwall?" ”

"yes?"

Sven's eyes were a little puzzled.

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "But my opinion is diametrically opposite. I think most of the people are looking for me as a manager. ”

"How is that possible!" Sven's eyed man shook his head, looking like 'you're dreaming'.

Zhang Yang smiled, "Do you know why the club chose me as the head coach? I was chosen, there were nearly 70,000 fans who participated, and I got more than 90 percent of the votes. Do you think that the choice of more than 60,000 fans is not the mainstream, but thousands of fans are? ”

Sven's eyes were stunned for a long time with his mouth open, and then he took a breath and said, "But that's not what the media world thinks. ”

"Have you investigated?"

Sven's eyes shook his head.

"Without investigation, there is no right to speak, maybe you should investigate and then ask questions! Next! ”

Sven's eyed man sat down stunned.

The next question was asked by a reporter from The Times, who has two mustaches and, importantly, seems to be trying to help Sven get back face: "I'm sure most of the reporters in the room don't think you're a good fit to be Millwall's manager. If you don't believe me, we can do an investigation on the spot......"

Before the mustache could finish speaking, Zhang Yang interrupted, "So what? ”

"What?"

"I mean, so what? There were more than 100 people in attendance, which is too small compared to more than 60,000 fans. ”

"But we're journalists, and our reports will be seen by a lot of people!"

Zhang Yang looked at him suspiciously, "So do you think that if your report can be published in The Times, then you are the mainstream?" Or do you want to express that you can use the tools of public opinion to influence the judgment of the public? ”

The mustache was dumbfounded.

There were so many fellow reporters present, and if he dared to say that, the Times would dare to sweep him out the next day.

So he could only sit down sullenly.

"Next."

Next, Zhang Yang and the reporters started a war of words.

Each reporter's questions were very targeted, but Zhang Yang was calm and unhurried, avoiding the important and constantly looking for a breakthrough point to counterattack, and six reporters in a row were defeated, they wanted Zhang Yang to have nothing to say, but as a result, they suffered a bitter fruit.

Finally, the reporters found out that this young man was not easy to deal with on the surface, and they gave up deliberately targeting, and the problem became normalized—

"What do you think of Millwall?"

'Tomorrow is the game against Ipswich Town, are Millwall ready? Can you announce the roster in advance? ”

'Are there any plans for Millwall in January?'

“……”

Zhang Yang suddenly became much kinder, and he answered seriously in turn.

The press conference went into a normal rhythm.

Ebenezer and the press officer looked at each other, their expressions were quite surprised and complicated, "If this kid becomes a press spokesman, he will definitely have a very promising future." ”

"That's right! He worked for the BBC before! ”

The two of them found some comfort.
