The third floor of the audience seats on the west side of the Stade de France, adjacent to the rostrum, is for media reporters to shoot and use, the live broadcast room of the British BBC TV station is set up in this area, Zhang Yang followed the staff, entered the live broadcast site, and the personnel inside were preparing.

"Zhang! You're finally here! ”

Jeff Harris held up his big belly and walked over enthusiastically to shake hands with Zhang Yang and Andy, "Long time no see, we've been waiting for a long time!" ”

"There's still time, right?"

"The show needs to be prepared." Harris explained, "The Champions League final is once a year, the most important football show! I'm really worried that something will happen. ”

In fact, the BBC TV program team is also prepared, they will find a few guests every time, some of them are guests on the show, some are 'spare' guests, generally 'spare' guests will be just to watch the game, can act as a guest figure, if the 'spare' guests can't be used, they can also receive a transfer, can be used will become real guests, enable the 'temporary guest' cooperation terms.

If Zhang Yang has any personal problems that can't come, the BBC column team can only choose 'alternate' guests to supplement.

Zhang Yang did not refute Harris's words, but asked, "What about Mr. Lineker?" ”

"Over there." Harris pointed to the side, and Lineker was looking across the railing, unaware of the arrival of Zhang Yang.

"Then I'll go."

"Okay, let's get ready! Looking forward to your play today! ”

Zhang Yang walked over to greet Lineker, and after a warm greeting, Lineker instructed him to make preliminary preparations.

There must be a reason for coming two hours early, and being a guest does not mean going directly to the court, you need to do some preliminary preparations, such as memorizing the squads of the two teams, knowing the corresponding numbers of each player, and then understanding the focus news before the game, as well as the history of the two teams, which will be used in the live broadcast.

For the guests, the more they know, the better.

BBC TV's Champions League column team, after preparing ten pages of content for Zhang Yang, each page has thousands of words, all about the content of the two teams, Zhang Yang needs to read all the content, and it is best to be able to memorize them.

That's why Harris is in a hurry.

Zhang Yang didn't have the habit of reading the information first, Harris was worried that Zhang Yang wouldn't be able to remember the information, and the players with the corresponding number wouldn't know it at that time, so the situation would be a little embarrassing.

This is not a problem for publicity.

With the ability of 'memory strengthening', Zhang Yang can easily write down a lot of things, although it consumes a lot of energy, but in fact, most of the content on the information he knows, and even a lot of the information is not available, he also knows very well in his heart that it is not a big problem to read the information or not, and the most important job is only to memorize the set lines.

————

In the process of making memories, Andy also began his work.

This work was a bit of a surprise.

Zhang Yang is cooperating with BBC TV as a football commentator, and it is not the first time that the two sides have cooperated, and there is no problem in it.

Due to last year's success, the cooperation fee has long been negotiated - 100,000 pounds, a rather frightening fee, you know, the average football commentator, on the TV station is even free, many famous football people are willing to do it, because on the BBC can increase their own fame, there is already a good cooperation fee, such as some very famous football people, on the show as a guest, the cost is up to 50,000 pounds.

This is already the world's top fee.

Think about it.

As a guest in a live football match, the time is only three hours at most, 50,000 pounds, an average of nearly 17,000 pounds per hour, converted into RMB at the current exchange rate, and the prize is 80,000 yuan.

80,000 in one hour!

This is already quite a terrifying price, but because of the influence, the cost of Zhang Yang's cooperation has reached 100,000 pounds, and the average salary for one hour has reached 160,000 yuan.

Zhang Yang is very satisfied with this.

However, he did not expect that there would be an unexpected gain, BF Sporting Goods and BBC TV have teamed up to advertise during the live broadcast of football.

Not only during the live broadcast, the advertisements of the brand logo on the screen, but also the advertisements worn by the commentators and guests, or of course, the 'small head' of the cooperation fee, because the time for the live broadcast room to appear in front of the fans is very short, and the appearance rate is not high, and the cost will not be high.

Lineker is a commentator for BBC TV, so of course there is no problem, but the BBC TV program team has no right to make decisions for Zhang Yang.

This is also a problem.

The TV screen is all BF Sports logos, and the commentators are also wearing BF Sports clothes, only Zhang Yang is wearing another brand, and there will definitely be some incomplete****** the person in charge of F Sports is talking to Andy about it.

"Ten thousand pounds!"

Andy refused, "This will have an impact on Zhang's image, if he wears BF Sports clothes, it will make fans mistakenly think that he is an endorsement for BF Sports, but in fact, Zhang has not signed any sports brand endorsement contract." ”

This is an impasse.

In fact, 10,000 pounds is not a lot, and the pictures that appear on the TV screen will not last more than fifteen minutes before and after.

But Andy's statement can't be refuted.

Zhang Yang has not signed a sportswear brand endorsement contract, and if he wears BF Sports clothes, he may be mistaken for an endorsement of the BF Sports brand.

This also left the head of BF Sports speechless.

Andy has something else to say, "The appearance rate of the guests is not high, but Zhang's commentary, you should know, like last year, after the Champions League final, for more than ten consecutive days, and even until now, there have been media reports on the live broadcast at that time, and Zhang's photos have appeared in many news." So, if the cost is less than £50,000, we don't think about it. ”

The head of BF Sports almost vomited blood in anger, he found that the black guy in front of him was not easy to deal with, and one mouth was 50,000 pounds, and the cost was too high.

The head of BF Sports couldn't make a decision, he could only call the company's top management, but then got this reply, "Promise him, 50,000 pounds to get Zhang's friendship is worth it, in fact, the company is considering signing several football coaches to be the image spokesperson for the brand." ”

The person in charge of BF Sports suddenly realized, and then he began to discuss with Andy, and the possibility of publicizing the endorsement of BF Sports also made Andy feel that the asking price was too low.

————

The Champions League final is about to begin.

Players from both sides have already entered the stadium, and the fan chanting in the audience has become louder.

The soundproofing equipment of the column group is not bad, but the ears will still be filled with noisy cries, and it is in this environment that the BBC's commentary work begins.

Lineker had already begun analysing the game by the time the players from both sides were photographed, and he began with pre-match news to explain the preparations for the game.

Then it was Zhang Yang's turn to speak.

"Zhang, which team are you optimistic about?" Lineker's direct inquiry aroused the interest of fans, and many people knew that Zhang Yang's judgment was very accurate, and whichever side he supported would have a higher winning rate.

This is certainly not for sure.

But Zhang Yang's influence in English football is there, and almost all fans who support Arsenal want to hear Zhang Yang say that Arsenal will win.

Zhang Yang will not let himself fall into the trouble of 'not supporting his own team', Arsenal is an English team, the BBC is mainly in front of England fans live broadcast, he smiled and analyzed the two teams, "I know Arsenal very well, Arsene Wenger's team is good at fast attack, that kind of fast-paced and smooth attack, as long as you can play, you can break the door of any team in the world!" ”

"Barcelona are a team that is good at control, their football, especially the combination between the players, is gorgeous, and when you play a smooth game, it's like the art of football in the game, which makes everyone fascinated...... It's a bit too early to say who will win or lose between the two teams, and I never jump to conclusions before the game! ”

'But I want Arsenal to win, I'm old friends with Arsene Wenger and I like the Arsenal style.

Facing England fans on BBC Live, Zhang Yang naturally said that he supported Arsenal, and he did not support Barcelona, but before the game, he found a reason: if Arsenal won the championship and Gallas left Chelsea, he would almost certainly choose Arsenal.

In order to have a chance to get the world's top defensive players, Zhang Yang feels like an old friend or something...... Forget it, personally, he wishes Wenger can rewrite history and defeat Barcelona, but as the manager of Millwall, from the perspective of developing the team, he still hopes that Barcelona can win.

It's a bit of a contradiction.

So Zhang Yang just wants to analyze the game from a neutral point of view, and at the same time, he is still a little puzzled: Wenger said that he would wear headphones to listen to the BBC live, did he really bring headphones?

So in the game, should something be revealed?

If Arsene Wenger had heard his words and made some key tactical adjustments, maybe he could have rewritten the history that was to come, right?

That's interesting!

Before, Zhang Yang thought that he would not help Arsenal, but now he thinks that the situation seems to be very interesting, so it can be regarded as his own achievement, right?

Zhang Yang's mood is complicated.

————

When the match between Arsenal and Barcelona began, Zhang Yang officially entered the working state, and what he had to do was to follow Lineker's questions and analyze them.

A football commentator is a person who chats with the commentator during the gap between games.

When the game is very intense, there is no need to say anything, Lineker will keep talking about the game, and he can't interject at all; When there is a gap in the game, that is, the pace of the two sides slows down, or a wave of offensive ends, or there is some controversy, it is necessary for the guests to answer.

Zhang Yang, with his own unique style, still makes some predictions for the next games.

In the eleventh minute, Arsenal got a set-piece opportunity, Zhang Yang predicted, "It is very difficult to score this goal, Arsenal does not have players similar to Ronaldinho and Xavi, it is not easy for them to score the ball directly, there is a chance to do a combination, but Barcelona will definitely block Henry's point tightly." ”

The next thing the fans saw was that Arsenal failed to seize the opportunity, it was difficult, and Pire's shot was easily held in Valdés' arms, which also disappointed Arsenal fans.

The biggest turning point of the game came in the 18th minute, when Ronaldinho broke free from the middle and suddenly squeezed a through ball with his right foot, Eto'o cut in time to get past Lehmann, who had knocked him to the ground, only to be brought down by Lehmann on the edge of the box, and Gyuli followed up on the right side with a low shot from a tight angle into the empty net.

It's a goal!

Lineker's goal shouts blurted out, only to notice that the Norwegian referee Hauge had whistled, which meant that the goal was invalid, and the referee showed a red card to send Lehmann off.

The BBC television screen showed slow motion as Lehmann's hand grabbed Samuel Eto'o's left ankle and the referee gave him an undisputed red card.

Arsene Wenger replaced Pire with Almunia and Arsenal had one less man to play, and the formation could only become 441, which was a very unfavourable situation.

Ronaldinho took a free-kick from 16 yards and curled a right-footed curling over the wall and wide of the left post.

Arsenal's sending off goalkeeper is a big event, they can only play with ten men, many people began to worry about Arsenal, Zhang Yang cheered Arsenal up, "Ten players are very dangerous, but one less is not the same as losing, in many games, one less person, but it will motivate other players to perform well." 441 has one less attacking player, which has a very big impact on the team, but Arsenal also defended well and they had chances to keep the goal. At the same time, their fast attack can still threaten the opponent. ”

Zhang Yang was actually just comforting the Arsenal fans, he didn't think about anything else.

But the fans in front of the TV don't see it that way, mainly Zhang Yang is a little too 'god' in the prediction game, many people feel that Zhang Yang is saying, "Arsenal's performance will not be affected, and the next performance will not be bad!" ”

Arsenal fans have regained their confidence, and many fans are still full of anticipation, and some fans even thought, "It's good that Lehmann was sent off, and it will definitely be worth it in exchange for a flamboyant sentence." ”

However, the next game was disappointing, Arsenal did not have any special performance, the game situation was once suppressed by Barcelona, for a while, Barcelona was playing around Arsenal in the half, and there was one less attacking player in the front, and it was difficult for Arsenal to attack.

In football, one person is too important.

Barcelona has one more person than Arsenal, so they don't have to care too much about defense at all, Arsenal has only one person in the front, and it's too simple to keep an eye on it.

Many fans have begun to leave messages, thinking that the myth of flamboyant 'match prediction' is about to be shattered--

"Zhang Yang's prediction may not be accurate!"

'He said Arsenal would have done better, but Barcelona had an overwhelming advantage!'

"The game is out of balance!"

"I still remember last year, Zhang Yang commented on the game and supported Liverpool, and as a result, Liverpool scored three goals in a row! It should have been luck, he couldn't always guess! ”

“……”

In fact, Zhang Yang didn't guess at all, he just wanted to comfort Arsenal fans, he didn't expect the impact to be so big, and if he knew, he would definitely regret saying that.

When the game reached the 34th minute, Zhang Yang didn't regret anything.

He smiled.

In the 'prediction' view, Campbell helped Arsenal score their first goal!
