Chapter 57: The Opponent Changes
Fan Shang went a little late to the post-match press conference, first apologizing to the opposing head coach and reporters, and then sat down in his place. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Vincent was clearly not stingy with his words today, first praising his team, then naming Poborski and Smitchell as good players, and finally questioning Zidane's goal.
Before each reporter asks a question, Fan Shang always asks which newspaper the reporter belongs to. Until a reporter said he was from Le Figaro.
"Hello, I want to ask you a question before you ask a question." Fan Shang preempted the reporter and said
"Okay, you ask," the reporter said
"Did you write the article about me in the sports section of your newspaper a few days ago?"
"Yes," the man affirmed, and there was no embarrassment.
"Thank you, you can ask questions," Fan Shang said politely
"Thanks, I wonder what you think of Bayern Munich, opponents in the UEFA Cup final?" The reporter asked
"I think Bayern Munich are a strong team and I'm looking forward to the final." After Fan Shang finished speaking, the whole audience looked at him in confusion, because he was speaking Chinese.
Fan Shang looked at the reporters below, and his heart was secretly refreshed. Then he got up and bowed, and walked out of the press conference in style. Leave the reporters with their glasses shattered.
The reporter of Le Figaro hated Vincent even more, and he had already decided to be a staunch Vincent black. "I'm Teddy. Vidroll is a newcomer, but you don't need to make fun of me. We'll see. "This one's name is Teddy. Vidrol's reporter mentally drew a big slash for Vincent.
It was a sleepless night for Bordeaux fans. After the news spread that the team had qualified for the League Cup final, tens of thousands of fans, men and women, young and old, gathered in Victory Square in the heart of the city. Some held the names of the supporting players in their hands, some held the Bordeaux team logo in their hands, some held scarves, and some simply made a copycat League Cup to hold. These fans of all stripes are here for one purpose, they are happy, they are excited, they want to celebrate the team they support.
The celebration has been going on here, and it is only at two or three o'clock in the morning that the excited fans begin to slowly disperse. Then it was time for the next day's newspaper.
The front page of the local Bordeaux newspaper was almost exclusively dedicated to the Bordeaux club that qualified for the league final. Bordeaux's "South-West Newspaper" used 4 pages, and almost every player and coach sang praises to them.
The news of Bordeaux's promotion was also reported in the media elsewhere in France, not as exaggerated as the Southwest newspaper, but it was also in a prominent place.
The reaction of the rest of the European media has been much muted compared to the French media. In addition to Germany's Bild analysing their title rivals for Bayern Munich. Others, such as The Sun, Marca and several Italian sports newspapers, only reported on the score and the teams that had qualified, and the rest were largely omitted.
Fan Shang looked at a few newspapers now, and his heart was happy, "At this time, I have finally shown my face, not only in France, but also in Europe." "He doesn't know yet that the media outside of France are just passing it off. Except for those who may have read the newspaper in Germany, no one else will know of such a person as Vincent.
While Vincent was dreaming, his opponents in the League Cup final, Bayern Munich, had changed dramatically.
The day after the elimination of Barcelona, Bayern Munich announced the dismissal of current head coach Otto the Great Rehhagel, and his successor is the current president of the club, the football emperor Beckenbauer.
Vincent got the news after he arrived at the club. As soon as I heard it, I was stunned at first, the head coach who brought the team to the League Cup final was fired by the team? It's incredible, isn't it?
Facing Rohr, who told him the news, Vincent asked, "Haven't you heard that Affreru has any opinion about me?" Vincent's first reaction when he heard the news was impossible, and his second reaction was that I wouldn't be like Otto the Great.
"You're kidding, Affleru has eyes." Luo Er couldn't help but laugh when he heard Fan Shang's words, "How can you think that?" You have such good grades, who would dare to fire you easily. Now that you're going to be fired, the fans can burn down the Afflerrou house. ”
"I'm really scared that Afflerrou will do the same paranoia that Muslim used to be the head coach again." Fan Shang shook his head with a wry smile, and then he was a little excited, "Then isn't our chance greater?" ”
"Don't think about it, I heard that Rehhagel is not a matter of record, it is that he is not in agreement with several players in the Bayern Munich team, and the club chose to support the players, so they swept him away." Røhr got some gossip from some of his fellow Germans.
Fan Shang thought for a moment and nodded.
An iron-fisted manager like Rehhagel is really not suitable to coach a big club, and he can't get along with big names. In the future, Otto the Great's success was achieved by leading the grassroots team, Kaiserslautern, Greece.
Fan Shang is afraid when he thinks about it now, if he hadn't blocked Dugarry first, maybe Fan Shang would have followed in Rehhagel's footsteps now.
Now the football emperor has come to the front of the stage from behind the scenes, and with his prestige, Bayern Munich's internal contradictions must have been solved. Bayern Munich without contradictions will be even more terrible than the previous ones.
"Hey, what a headache. Otto the Great has come to a football emperor, why can't we get along with the royal family? Fan Shang sighed.
"Also, getting to the final is already a big breakthrough. In the end, if you don't win the championship, no one will deny your results. Rohr reassured
"Didn't Napoleon say that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. Who of us doesn't want to win the championship, you, me, or the players? Everybody wants to win the championship, so don't say no to it now, it's a demoral boost, but we still have to encourage the players and motivate them. If they want to kill Bayern Munich's players before the game against Bayern Munich, it will be in place. "Fan Shang feels that if there is hope, he must work hard
"No wonder you can be a good manager, I can't do it. It turns out that I am the soldier who doesn't want to be a general. Rohr said self-deprecatingly
"You're now the general's brainpiece, aren't you satisfied?" Fan Shang teased
"Yes, General, willing to serve you." Rohr said seriously.
Then both of them laughed, a few jokes were in Fan Shang's heavy heart, and he felt a little comforted.
