Wang Shuai and his party arrived in Birmingham at the end of June, and Aston Villa's meeting date was still a month away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The reason why Info came so early was to arrange his own start and stay, and on the other hand, because on July 1, Aston Villa arranged a signing ceremony for Wang Shuai.

This is the first time that an English team has held a signing ceremony for an Asian player. However, given the close relationship between the team owner and Wang Shuai, coupled with Wang Shuai's annual salary of 3.5 million pounds, he can barely reach the top ranks of the Championship, so this signing ceremony has become a matter of course.

The signing ceremony took place in the press room at Villa Park, which is where the team gives pre-match and post-match interviews. In fact, the signing of Wang Shuai and the team has been completely completed the day before, and today is just a formality, in fact, the focus of the whole ceremony is not in Wang Shuai's signing process, but in the reporter's questions later.

The press hall is not too big, and fortunately, there are not too many reporters who come, after all, Aston Villa is only a Championship team, and Wang Shuai is not very popular in Europe, and most of the reporters who come are local reporters from Birmingham and domestic reporters. As for the national mainstream media like The Times and The Guardian, not even a single figure is to be seen.

As mentioned before, there are three professional teams in the city of Birmingham, and the local newspapers and media also have their own support. It's just that West Bromwich Albion's team is located in the suburbs, with few people to follow and few media to support them, so Birmingham is basically a situation where Aston Villa and Birmingham City are on the side.

And now at the signing ceremony of Aston Villa, in addition to the media who support Villa, there are also a lot of media who support Birmingham City. Fortunately, the British are more gentlemanly, and the two groups of people did not cause conflicts in the venue.

There are five domestic media, the first of which is the old wave sports represented by He Tao, and then there is the search wolf that hacks Wang Shuai from time to time, and Wang Shuai is more surprised that He Tao actually chatted happily with the female reporter who searched the wolf, and Wang Shuai himself looked at the female reporter a little familiar. The remaining three media, in addition to Wangju Sports, the other two are all from TV stations, namely Huaxia TV and Youzhou TV in Wang Shuai's hometown.

On the team's side, not counting the press officer, a total of four people were present: Jian Xia, the former chairman and current team manager, Zhou Wenhai, the current chairman, Wang Shuai, the protagonist of the day, and Leif, the head coach who has just signed a contract with the group.

This lineup, if you don't know, you may really think that this is a signing ceremony for a Chinese team.

……

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the signing ceremony began on time.

The first is the signing link, but this is just a formality, the contract is fake, and after Zhou Wenhai handed over a symbolic check of 3.5 million pounds to Wang Shuai, this link will end, and the whole process will last less than ten minutes.

Then, Wang Shuai showed off his skills in front of many reporters, which was a piece of cake for him. And Wang Shuai's skills have also relieved some media close to Villa, who have been worried that the team has spent a high salary to sign in an Asian player with little ability, and now it seems that this yellow man still has two brushes.

Finally, the most important part of the reporter's question and answer session begins.

Aston Villa is a British team, and most of the reporters present are also British journalists, so even if the protagonists today are Chinese, the language in the venue is mainly English. Fortunately, at the moment when Wang Shuai signed a contract with Vera, he systematically sent a language pack, and now Wang Shuai's English proficiency is not worse than that of British residents. Jane Xia has always lived in the UK, and her English proficiency is not covered. Among several people, the worst English is estimated to be Zhou Wenhai, but after all, he is a graduate of a key university, and he has also passed English level 6, even if he can't understand a few words, the press officer next to him will also work as a translator. So after an interview, there is no obstacle.

"Hello Mr. Jane, what are the arrangements for the Flying Fox Group to change the chairman of the team?" The first to ask a question was a reporter from the Birmingham Daily News, which is one of only a few completely neutral media outlets in Birmingham, and the largest of these outlets. Of course, there is no such thing as the mainstream media. And their problems are generally decent, just like this question.

"I'm sorry, this design group is confidential, I don't have anything to say, I'm sorry." In fact, there is no secret in this matter, but Jian Xia can't directly say that Zhou Wenhai is the son of the boss.

"Hello Mr. Jane, Wang Shuai's joining was promoted by you, what changes will he bring to the team?" The second to ask was a reporter from Birmingham Sport, a newspaper that is fully pro-Aston Villa and the largest of the pro-Villa media.

"None of us can predict the future, but if we just look at it from the perspective of strength, I believe that the addition of Wang Shuai will definitely make the team's performance take a big step forward."

"Hello Mr. Leif, we have received news that you did not know about Wang Shuai's joining before, is that so?" The journalist belongs to Birmingham City, the largest media outlet supporting Birmingham City FC, which is a semi-monthly magazine. The order of neutrals first, then supporters, and finally opponents has also become the usual order for the Birmingham team to be interviewed.

"It's a complete nonsense." Reiff denied it, although he knew that what the other party said was true, and he himself was dissatisfied with this matter, but he is now the manager of Villa, and his speech must be beneficial to the team, and there is no word about the conflict in the team.

"Wang Shuai, what is your goal after coming to Aston Villa?" This time it was a Chinese reporter, and it was everyone's acquaintance, He Tao.

"Haha, the word 'goal' is a bit broad, so let me put it this way, I believe that the goal of every player must be the same, which is to win every game, and I will do the same."

"Wang Shuai, you have few defeats in domestic competitions, will you bring this result to Aston Villa?" This time the question was asked by the wolf-searching reporter who had chatted with He Tao before.

Wang Shuai was a little puzzled, didn't Sowolf always like to hack himself? Why is today's problem so "normal"? However, Wang Shuai didn't think much about it, so he answered this question: "To paraphrase what Manager Jian just said, none of us can predict the future. ”

"Wang Shuai, your performance in China can be called invincible, can your answer just now be understood as that you have lost your self-confidence after coming to England?" The reporter did not sit down, but immediately followed Wang Shuai's answer with another question.

Wang Shuai sighed slightly, sure enough, the dog can't change to eat x. (To be continued.) )
