Carrington Training Base, Manchester, Press Hall.

Andy was holding a trophy with a smile on his face, poss, the flash under the stage was constantly flashing, and the local TV station in Manchester sent a film crew to shoot Andy throughout the whole process.

After some interaction, Andy breathed a sigh of relief after taking a seat on the podium, although he was also very happy to win the Premier League Player of the Month, but the half-hour process of keeping a smile and changing different poss for people to take pictures was really tedious.

"Andy, first of all, congratulations on winning the Premier League Player of the Month award in the second month of your first season in the Premier League, and you also broke the record for the youngest player in this award since its inception in '95, do you have anything to say?" The Guardian reporter first asked a question of medium distance.

"First of all, thank you to all the friends who voted for me to support me, without your support and encouragement I would not have been able to get this award, so thank you, I hope that next month, next month, or in the future I can always win this award, but unfortunately I also know that it is difficult, so thank you again, I will continue to work hard."

Andy knew that the award seemed to be chosen by a sports journalist, so he thanked everyone very politely, and then revealed his ambitions in the form of a joke.

The reporters in the audience also applauded, but as the press conference continued, some sharp questions were soon thrown.

"Andy, we interviewed the coach of the national team, Mr. Hoddle, and he admitted that you have been in good form lately, but you are still not mature enough, and you need more training to be selected for the national team, what do you think about that?" The Times reporter stood up and asked directly.

Andy is actually very unhappy, you must know that four of his teammates have been selected for the national team, including Phil Neville, the backcourt jack-of-all-trades, and he was not selected, and he has been holding back the fire in his stomach for the past few days.

"I respect Mr. Hoddle very much, maybe he has his way of choice, it is a great honor to be selected for the national team, as long as the national team needs me, I will wait for his call unconditionally, I hope to be able to do my part, I am indeed still young, I will improve myself better through training and competitions, thank you!" Andy calmly answered the reporter's questions, if it weren't for his agent Paul Smith who reminded him yesterday to use these media to spray Hoddle, he would have said what he really thought in his heart, instead of saying the above things out of his mouth.

Andy's answer to the formula disappoints the media below who were expecting a big news, how could they not see Andy's insincerity, but they didn't continue to dwell on it, for them, if the national team has a poor record, then they have one more reason to spray Hoddle.

"Andy, hello, we are a group of reporters from China, I am a reporter from CCTV, first of all, congratulations on your achievements in the Premier League, in fact, we want to do an interview with you, but your press officer, Ms. Demis Catherine, said that I want to ask for your consent." At this time, a man in his thirties with glasses stood up and introduced himself in English.

Andy was also very strange when he first entered the interview hall, how there were about a dozen reporters who were obviously yellow in the middle of a large group of white and black reporters, and now he was also shocked to hear that they were from China!

"Yes, right now, nice to meet you." Andy immediately announced the end of today's press conference in English to press officer Demis Catherine and other reporters after saying this sentence in Chinese. …,

Under the grumbling of British reporters and the curious gaze of Demis Catherine, Andy stepped down from the rostrum and shook Ogue's hand.

Manchester United's press officer, Demis Catherine, returned to the press room after seeing off other journalists, and she was honestly wondering why Andy, who had never been interviewed, would be interviewed by a Chinese media outlet.

"Maybe it's a quarter of his Chinese ancestry." She thought.

※※※

The scale of this Chinese press corps is obviously not small, with more than a dozen people, including text reporters, photojournalists, men and women.

Andy had already shook hands with the group of reporters at this time, it was not that he had never seen his compatriots in Chinatowns abroad, but this feeling of seeing reporters from the motherland abroad was completely different, so he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.

Well, in fact, as a post-90s generation, in his previous life, he also saw the well-known host Oga in sports news, but it was not football news that he didn't care about at the time, but basketball news, and even a few faces in this group he was familiar with.

Fortunately, Andy's excitement was quickly overshadowed by the enthusiasm of the Chinese press corps, which was even more excited than he was.

As soon as they saw Andy standing between them and shaking their hands, they stood up excitedly, flashing lights, and several young female reporters even screamed.

Andy really couldn't understand how in this era without the Internet, how could a Chinese reporter thousands of miles away come to interview him, so he quickly asked Ohga this question.

"We came to the UK to interview you, you are now the 'No. 1 star in China', the domestic fans are very interested in you, and your performance in the European Champions Cup is fantastic." Oga is the leader of the team, and he answers Andy's questions.

"Thank you, thank you for your care for me, thank you Chinese fans, I think I will definitely have the opportunity to go to China in the future, I will definitely meet these fans when the time comes, thank them for their support to me!" Andy actually understands the mentality of Chinese fans very well, in his previous life, as an ordinary person, he would also go to the NBA because of Da Yao and support the Rockets, and later Da Yao retired due to injury, he was sad for a while, and he didn't pay attention to the NBA again until Jeremy Lin's appearance, which has nothing to do with what sport or team, it is completely a sense of pride with the same root.

"I have to play better and not let down the people who support me." Andy found that he had one more goal to play, although he only had less than half of the Chinese blood in his life, he had blood from the Celestial Empire in his body after all, which is why Chinese fans supported him.

Andy happily took photos with reporters one by one, shook hands, and several female reporters hugged him directly to take a group photo, and they said excitedly: "Now I hug you on behalf of countless female fans in China." ā€

Andy enjoyed the atmosphere, so he was responsive to everyone's requests and didn't start the official visit until it was over.

"Andy, how did you become a soccer player?" Oga asked.

Andy smiled and said: "Like all children in England, I played football from primary school to secondary school. ā€

"But according to the British media, you were in high school in the United States, and you became a rugby star in those three years, and now you have become a star through your own efforts, and we think it's really incredible!" When Oga asked this question, his expression was very exaggerated.

Andy scratched his head and said, "As you know, when my grandparents died, I went to the United States with my parents, and I could only play rugby in the United States, and I played there for three years, and when I returned to England, I joined Manchester United. ā€ā€¦,

"Can you tell us more about the process and the process?" Oga said on the side.

"I'm afraid it's very difficult, it's too long, I can't finish it at once, let's talk about it later when I have a chance." Andy was a little speechless.

"We're going to be in England for a week, so let's find time to go into more detail?" Oga continued his efforts.

"Okay, I'll try to cooperate with you." Andy couldn't bear to refuse them.

"Andy, have you considered playing for the Chinese team?" After asking a few more questions, Oga puts a difficult problem in front of Andy.

Andy was silent, he has a certain feeling for China to be honest, and he also has a certain sense of identity, because he has the blood of Chinese in his past life and this life, but in the era of the Internet explosion in his previous life, even if he didn't care about football, he had seen a lot of negative reports, so he really didn't know how to answer this question.

All this made Andy never think about playing for the Chinese national team at all, and in fact, Andy's expectations for the England national team are not rising to the height of patriotism, he sees the national team as a new challenge and a necessary process in his career, he wants to prove himself more through the national team career, and the other is to meet the expectations of his grandfather Edward Sr.

For people who have lived in a foreign country since they were children or for reborn people like Andy, in fact, they have this kind of thought, as they grow older, the concept of the country in their hearts will become weaker and weaker, because they will find that they are different from everyone else around them, and the original country is impossible to go back, which is actually a very embarrassing situation, so slowly the concept of the country in their hearts will gradually fade.

"You know, I have dual citizenship of the United Kingdom and the United States, and I haven't received an invitation from China, maybe I'll think about it when I get it, and you know it's something that needs to be considered." Andy didn't want to hurt the other party's heart, so he could only try to be as careful as he could use his words.

The reporters at the scene couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but soon they were relieved, they are all people in the Chinese football circle, can they not know that China will not take the initiative to invite Andy, to let Andy enter the Chinese national team, the only possibility may be Andy to Beijing, crying and shouting, kneeling at the door of the Football Association to beg these officials to let him enter the national team, but this seems impossible...

People are so popular now, and they have made achievements in different countries and different sports that others dare not imagine, why should he go to Beijing to kneel and beg for help.
