Chapter 134: A Model for the Press (2-in-1 Chapter)
Reporters stood in the interview area of the players' tunnel, waiting for the Brescia players to greet the spectators before leaving the field. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
They gathered in twos and threes, discussing Zhang Shu's performance on the lawn on the side of the field, and the TV broadcast signal was switched to other lines shortly after the game, so the audience in front of the TV did not see Zhang Shu's provocation to Zenoni, but the media reporters faithfully recorded the picture of Zhang Shu rolling and struggling on the turf.
"Isn't it a bit too much for Zhang Shu to do this? . . ." A Chinese reporter whispered to his companion.
"Obviously, I won the game, so I have to be forgiving and forgiving."
"In fact, Zhang Shu's performance in this game was so good, anyone with a discerning eye knows that those remarks before the game are nonsense, why bother."
"It does feel too petty. It damages the image of our Chinese. β
"Fake falling is obviously unreasonable, and Zhang Shu also uses this to mock his opponent, which is really unwise."
These words are the thoughts of most Chinese journalists, and in traditional Chinese thought, after defeating the opponent, it is best to save a little face for the opponent, and it is best to say a few words such as "accept and concede", "Your Excellency is also very powerful, and you will win a fluke in the future".
Like Zhang Shu, who wins and taunts his opponent, is usually a villain - or the kind of cannon fodder villain can do, it will inevitably give people a feeling of villain's ambition.
This kind of Zhang Shu makes them need to spend more energy to help him beautify his image when he returns to China after sending reports.
Although most of them hacked Zhang Shu in their own articles when they first came into contact, when they enjoyed the benefits of Zhang Shu's increased status, these Italian reporters quickly changed their attitudes.
They will still publish the news that should be published, but when it comes to writing specific reports, they will choose to report from a positive perspective as much as possible.
After all, the better Zhang Shu develops, the more important they will be in the newspaper, and the strongest relationship between strangers is this community of interests.
It's just a pity that Zhang Shu always does these things that challenge their business ability. He was happy, and the reporters would inevitably pull out a few more hairs when they went back to write.
"If he is Da Yao's kind of character, our report will be easy to write~~" someone sighed.
Someone immediately refuted his idea.
"If he's Da Yao's kind of character, we don't have anything to write about!"
This sentence made the reporters present laugh knowingly.
When the Brescia players returned from the pitch, the reporters who had just been chatting in the aisle rushed to the edge of the interview area and shouted hello to their target players.
"Zhang Shu, this way! This way! Chinese reporters shouted at Zhang Shu.
They occupy one of the largest booths in the interview area, and as there are always many Chinese reporters covering Zhang Shu after the game, as Zhang Shu's position in the team becomes more and more important, the club has specially removed the partitions between several cubicles for them to use.
This is also one of the conveniences that Zhang Shu has brought to them, seeing that other Italian reporters can only huddle in small cubicles in twos and threes, and after asking a question, they must get out of the way and let others in the queue behind them come, and the sense of superiority of Chinese reporters arises spontaneously.
"Xiao Zhang, it feels a little bad for you to provoke others like that in the end." Before starting the interview, a middle-aged reporter reminded Zhang Shu. "It's easy for people who don't like you to have an excuse to say you're not graceful."
The news with Zhang Shu has been almost a few months, and they are already very familiar with each other, so he kindly made a suggestion to Zhang Shu.
"I know." Zhang Shu nodded, but there was no shame on his face. "It's not very graceful, but..."
"Cool?" He asked the reporters in front of him seriously.
"It's not. Xiao Zhang. That one.. You treat your image badly like this... The middle-aged reporter felt that Zhang Shu had mistaken the point of the problem.
"I'll just ask you, are you cool?" Zhang Shu didn't take his words at all, and asked again.
The middle-aged reporter was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head a little embarrassed.
βγγγγγγ It's a little cool! β
Hearing this answer, Zhang Shu smiled happily, and soon other reporters followed suit.
That's right, in the eyes of these mature people, Zhang Shu's behavior is not graceful, but also a little childish, maybe some people who hate him will think that he is a little neurotic.
But they have to admit that seeing Zhang Shu persistently follow Zenoni to perform fake falls, they do have an inexplicable pleasure in their hearts.
You say that we can't win against you if we don't fake it? Now not only do we not win by faking falls, but we have to make up for them after the game!
"As long as it's cool." After laughing for a while, Zhang Shu made a summary. "Okay, I'm going to go to the post-match press conference, and we'll see you later."
He waved at the reporters, turned and ran away.
"Huh? Huh? Wait a minute... Wait... β
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Shu had already disappeared, and a group of reporters were left looking at each other.
"He just said press conference? Mazzoni is going to take him to a press conference? β
"Mazzoni really has a big heart... Isn't he afraid of Xiao Zhang talking nonsense? β
"You don't care what he thinks, let's go to the press room first to take a seat while there are fewer people."
So under the puzzled eyes of Italian reporters, this group of Chinese rushed towards the press hall with equipment on their shoulders.
When Zhang Shu returned to the locker room, Mazzoni had been waiting for him for a while.
"Zhang, take a shower faster, we don't have much time."
"Okay! You're done now! Zhang Shu took off the jersey three times and jumped into the bathroom. Hastily washed away the sweat from his body, and in less than 10 minutes, he ran out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.
"Daddy! Dad! I've got it! β
Mazzoni nodded to him, turned around and walked out of the locker room, Zhang Shu hurriedly changed his shoes and heels.
"Zhang! It's a little better. Don't say what you shouldn't say! Before Zhang Shu ran out of the locker room, Igor shouted at him from behind.
"Got it!" Zhang Shu ran out with a smile
Watching his figure disappear outside the locker room, Igor shook his head.
"Forget it, I don't think it's useful for me to remind you." He whispered to himself.
'I'm not going to resign, the club is very supportive of my work and although the current form of the squad is not very optimistic, I believe we will be able to stay in the first division at the end of the season.'
In the press conference hall, Atalanta's head coach Vavasoli was frustrating the reporters' siege on him. Except for the match between Roma and Inter Milan, which cannot affect the relegation situation, the results of the 27th round of Serie A have all been released. Atalanta have slipped to 15th place in the standings due to this big defeat and are officially in the relegation zone.
Before the game, Zhang Shu ridiculed Vavasori about his imminent departure, and even placed a β¬10 bet at the bookmaker, which seems likely to be a prophecy.
"Zenoni had said before the game that Zhang was not his opponent, but in this game we saw that he had little effective defense against Zhang, and it was from him that Brescia opened the gap first. What do you think, Coach Avasori? Was it due to a mistake in the pre-match information? A reporter asked.
"There's nothing wrong with Zenoni's performance in this game, and of course, Zhang's performance is a little bit better. 1:5 is not a normal scoreline, it is not a reaction at a real level between the two teams. We weren't very lucky today and conceded three goals in the first half completely disrupted our plans. Faced with this sharp question, Vavasoli replied forcefully.
"When you say bad luck, do you mean Taibi's mistakes? This isn't the first time he's made such a low-level mistake, will you lose trust in him? Immediately, a reporter seized on the loophole in Vavasori's words. In the face of this upcoming head coach, they have no compassion, if they can provoke conflicts between the team players and the head coach, it will be beneficial to them.
But Vavasori was not fooled. "No, no, I'm just saying bad luck. Any player will make mistakes, but the consequences of the goalkeeper's mistakes are more serious, so they are magnified, and in my heart Taibi is still a good goalkeeper. β
"Alright, that's pretty much it, I'm going back to my teammates now."
After answering a few simple questions, Vavasori stood up and signaled that the press conference was over.
After a big defeat, he was not interested in accepting the harassment of reporters.
"Coach Vavasori, wait a minute!" "Wait a minute! Answer two more questions! "One! Just one question! β
Leaving behind the reluctant voices of the reporters behind him, Vawasol escaped from the press conference hall without looking back.
"Cut, coward!" A reporter scolded in a low voice. The focus of the post-match press conference was on Vavasori, who danced so happily before the game that reporters wanted to see how the underdog could quibble now, who knew that the opponent would run away like this.
They were not interested in the victorious Mazzoni who was about to appear, and the reporters could imagine what it would be like. In the face of the cunning Mazzoni, they don't think they can get any answer other than clichΓ©s.
Now they've started to sort out the Q&A and prepare the press release for the next one.
Only the Chinese reporters who occupied the best seats in the first few rows were excited, and they knew that Zhang Shu was coming.
As one of the protagonists of the war of words a few days ago, Zhang Shu, who dares to say anything, is there a better post-game interview subject than this?
In particular, Zhang Shu still came as a victor, and as the same Chinese, they are also honored. Before the game, they watched too many reports of the Italian media singing about Brescia, and they also held their breath in their hearts.
Now it's up to Zhang Shu to help them vent this breath on the Italian media and the failed Atalanta.
With a creak, Mazzoni pushed open the door of Brescia's dilapidated press conference hall and appeared in front of the reporters.
The Italian reporter glanced at Mazzoni, then buried his head and continued to organize his manuscript, at first Mazzoni will summarize the game, anyway, it's all clichΓ© nonsense, just record it with a recording pen, there is no need to listen carefully, it is better to do something else.
It was the commotion of Chinese journalists that caught their attention.
What are these Chinese excited about? Isn't it just that Zhang is doing well? It's not like there hasn't been a game before, why are you so excited?
Soon they knew why, and the door to the press room creaked again, and another man walked in and sat down next to Mazzoni.
"Zhang! It's Zhang here! Mazzoni actually brought Zhang to the press conference! β
Usually, Mazzoni rarely brings players to press conferences together, and even if he does, he brings more mature and stable players like Baggio, Filippini, and Guardiola.
So when I saw Zhang Shu, the reporters below were also excited, Mazzoni has changed his sex! This is the second time he has brought Zhang to a press conference, right? Mazzoni also brought him after the last "middle finger" match against Lazio fans, and that time made all the media have a good party.
Although Zhang Shu didn't play as big as last time, it doesn't matter, as long as you open your mouth, there will always be hot spots, which is about to become a law.
They only hope that Mazzoni's post-match summary can end soon, so that the press conference can enter the reporter's question session as soon as possible.
Finally, Mazzoni put down the microphone and lay back in his chair. The crowd below instantly raised their arms.
As is customary, the first to get up and take the rhythm is always the journalist from Brescia's official website.
"Congratulations to Coach Mazoni, does this mean we are one step closer to next season's Champions League with a big win after a draw?"
There was a boo from below, and it was a waste of everyone's time to ask such a question.
Mazzoni answered the question in detail, analysing the possibility of Brescia entering the Champions League from various angles, and the reporters below were full of anxiety.
The next few pro-Brescia media asked similar questions, they got hints from the press officer in advance, asking them to ask more decent questions, although I don't know why Mazzoni brought Zhang Shu here, but did not give Zhang Shu a chance to speak, but adhering to the good cooperation with Brescia all along, they still asked questions according to the previous agreement.
Of course, Mazzoni didn't want reporters to ask Zhang Shu questions, and Zhang Shu's next step was completely unpredictable for him, so for the sake of insurance, Mazzoni wanted to keep Zhang Shu's time to answer questions as short as possible.
Eventually, the press officer handed the microphone to a reporter who was not native to Brescia.
"Zhang, we noticed that you kept provoking Zenoni after winning the match, is your approach lacking in grace?"
The reporter's first question tickled the itch of most of the reporters below, and they prepared their pens and waited for Zhang Shu's answer.
"Provoke your opponent after winning? Are you mistaken? To be reasonable, I provoked them before and after the game. Zhang Shu adjusted the position of the microphone and replied righteously.
Ha ha! Well done! Sheet! The following group of reporters who are not afraid of big things are happy to write books.
In the past, those who had a lively war of words before the game, and died down after the victory of the game, were simply weak! A player like Zhang is a role model in the press! There is news of Zhang's participation, and we can fry it from a week before the game to a week after the game without repeating it! (To be continued.) )
