Chapter 43 Public Figures

David Beckham has fled the heartbroken France since the World Cup, and has been depressed and listless even when he is vacationing in the Caribbean with his fiancée, Victoria Adams. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

At first, he would yell at the reports on TV and in the newspapers about him being sent off for kicking an opponent in a match against Argentina because he was provoked by Simeone, but then the overwhelming public opinion condemned him as a public enemy.

He felt that his whole body was going to collapse during that time, and he didn't dare to turn on the phone, or watch TV and newspapers. He was afraid of the ridicule and accusations that appeared in the media.

He even began to have nightmares at night, in which he returned to England and was spurned by everyone, and the reporters tried to eat him with their mouths open.

But life had to go on, and with the help of Victoria Adams, who was already pregnant, he returned to Manchester, the city he had lived in since his youth, after his holiday.

At the beginning of the training camp, the reporters came to Manchester like vultures smelling blood, blocking the door of the Carrington training base to interview him.

David Beckham was on the verge of crying, but the club and Alex Ferguson, the owner who had been very him, did not cooperate, and the reporters slowly left as time went on.

David Beckham is very grateful for the support and encouragement of his teammates during this time, without them, he may not have come out so quickly, especially the new young man named Andy said in front of everyone at that time, "If it were me, I would take the Argentine straight to the hospital, as for the media is a bitch", he thought it was just a gesture of goodwill from his new teammates and did not take it to heart.

"The new season is about to start, and hopefully the boss will give that lad a chance to play." As David Beckham drove the car, he thought of the tall, muscular and polite young man who trained hard every day.

The speed of the car was very fast, and it was about to arrive at the Carrington training base in a blink of an eye.

"Damn journalist, here we go again!" David Beckham cursed at the group of reporters in front of the door, wondering why it hadn't been a long time since I came, and with the new season just a few days away, the vultures were still trying to dig up my scars.

David Beckham pretended to be calm and drove in through the base gate, but strangely enough, the group of reporters just glanced at his license plate and turned their heads, without even taking a photo.

"Is there a new big move in the club?" Puzzled, he got out of the car and headed to the locker room.

"This kid works so hard to come so early every day." David Beckham couldn't help but think of himself a few years ago as he looked at Andy, who was already practicing around the pole on the training ground.

Before 9 o'clock, everyone in the Manchester United first team was already lined up on the training ground waiting for the arrival of the coach.

Alex Ferguson was very surprised that there was a media interview with Andy, knowing that this young man was only new to the team and had not appeared in the Premier League before, but the club's press officer, Demis Catherine, who was standing in front of him, told him that it was true.

"Alright, then you can go with me and inform him." Alex Ferguson could only agree that even as a powerful manager, he could only cooperate with the call from the boss just now.

Alex Ferguson and Brian Kidd headed to the training ground with blonde hair and a professional suit, the club's press officer, Demis Catherine.

After a while, all the players on the training ground saw 2 old men and 1 beautiful woman. …,

"Andy, there's a reporter from the United States who wants to interview you, so you and Ms. Catherine should go to the next press conference." Alex Ferguson said a word to Andy in the team and was ready to call the other players to start training.

"Sir, it's training time, if you want to interview, you can arrange it after my lunch meal, and I will give them half an hour." Andy expected what was happening as soon as he heard that it was a reporter from the United States, so he replied very calmly.

"Andy, you are a player of the club, you have to accept the arrangement of the club and cooperate with the club." Before the startled Alex Ferguson could speak, the female press officer Demis Catherine couldn't hold back her words, you must know that the press hall is now full of ace reporters from many well-known sports media in the United States, and what a great opportunity for Manchester United to open up the American market and expand its global influence, although now she doesn't know why these Americans came to interview this unknown young player.

"Madam, my contract does not sell my image rights first, and secondly it does not say that I must be interviewed during training time, so I have the right to refuse you to arrange my interview at my training time, as for those reporters can choose to wait or leave." Andy replied without being arrogant or humble.

Everyone on the training ground was stunned, no one thought that the child in front of him, who was usually polite and had heard that his family was very good, would say this.

"Alex, this is your new signing, is he so uncooperative with my work?" The young and beautiful female press officer was furious, knowing that she had not met such a player in the seven years she had graduated from university and worked at the club.

"Demis, my dear, he's right, just let those reporters wait there, maybe you can show them around our base, and when we're done with the training I think Andy will work with you." Alex Ferguson was also reluctant to say so, although he admired Andy's approach to training.

Demis Catherine looked at Andy angrily and left angrily in her 5-inch shoe.

"Andy, you're so cool!" Phil Neville had become Andy's best friend, and the first one couldn't help but scream.

Roy Keane and Sheringham, who were steady in the team, just shook their heads helplessly, and as for the not very famous substitutes Bromqvist and David May, Johansen looked at Andy with envy.

David Beckham realized that the large group of reporters had not come to him, but to interview Andy, which made him even more curious about the young man in front of him, and he walked up to Andy and gave him a thumbs up.

Andy smiled kindly at David Beckham, who had been on the phone from his parents a few days ago and had already known that he had not joined any college football team in the United States, and that the American football season had started in mid-August, but he did not expect the reporter to come so quickly and find Manchester United so quickly.

Well, Andy refused to be interviewed, but he couldn't let the press officer, Ms. Demis Catherine, take a tour of the Carrington training base without reporters, so the group of American reporters soon set up a gun and sprint on the side of the training ground to take pictures, but they were only filmed for a moment after Alex Ferguson protested.

The two-hour training ended in an eerie atmosphere, and every teammate on the field was speculating about why Andy had attracted so many reporters.

"Andy, Andy, are you very famous in the United States, why do so many reporters want to interview you?" When Phil Neville arrived in the locker room, he was the first to ask curiously. …,

At this time, all the teammates in the locker room stopped what they were doing, no matter what age people are always curious, and he also wants to know the answer.

Andy smiled at Phil Neville, who was about to stick to him, and replied: "Didn't I tell everyone that I play football in the United States, but I am the No. 1 high school runner in the United States, and I haven't chosen any college to participate in the summer camp now, so those reporters are here, it's as simple as that!" ”

Andy spread his hands and answered their questions in front of the crowd in the locker room.

The people in the locker room were even more curious, and Giggs, who has always liked sports, couldn't help but ask, knowing that English rugby is also very popular, but he couldn't figure out why a high school football star would have so many reporters to interview.

Andy could only explain to them how popular football was in the United States, and how football in the United States was different from that in England, where a group of players finally took a shower and went to dinner together.

Ms Demis Catherine feels that the recent period has been the most frustrating since she became a press officer for Manchester United, first because of David Beckham's red card, she had to deal with a group of reporters who wanted to discredit the club, and today a group of reporters, most of whom were from the United States, and she went to inform the players to participate in the interview and was refused.

Thinking of the idiotic look she received when she questioned why they interviewed a high school player in the American journal, she was going crazy as she was waiting for Andy in the cafeteria at the moment.

Well, she then asked the British reporter who came with her, and the reporter was kind enough to explain it to her, but she still didn't understand why a high school football star player came to the top 10 sports media in the United States.

Looking at Andy, who was still chatting with his teammates and eating slowly, and the players in the restaurant looking at him with playful eyes, Demis Catherine was even more angry, if it weren't for the boss's excitement early in the morning to take care of her and cooperate with the reporter from the United States, she would have wanted to leave directly.

After lunch, Andy changed into a casual T-shirt and trousers from the morning under the murderous eyes of Demise Catherine, put on the New York Yankees baseball cap that his father gave him, and went to the press room.

Although Demis Catherine was dissatisfied with the teenager in front of him not wearing a Manchester United shirt, he still applauded Andy when he saw that the T-shirt on his chest was unbuttoned and unbuttoned, revealing a silver-white cross and strong muscles.

Andy sat down in his chair with a relaxed demeanor directly on a flash light, and his front was already full of microphones and recording equipment, and he was not alarmed after seeing this scene countless times in the United States, and greeted several familiar New York media with a smile.

"Hello Andy, I'm a reporter for Sports Illustrated, and we'd love to know why you gave up rugby to play football in England." The reporter who first asked the question spoke of English football with a look of contempt.

"I miss my high school years in the United States, but you know my grandfather is 75 years old and he doesn't want to go to the United States, and his body is not even adapting to the weather in London, so I chose to accompany him in the UK as his only grandson, and as for football, I played it from the age of 5 to 14 and I also loved the sport, so I joined the team while accompanying him." Andy spoke straight to his heart.

There was a round of applause, and Britain and Americans still have great respect for people who value family.

"Andy, I'm from The New York Times, and like you, I'm a Yankees fan." The reporter first got closer to the relationship between the two, and then asked: "As a member of the three-time high school championship team and a three-time double MVP, all the universities have offered you high scholarships, and even many teams in the NFL have said that if you participate in the draft, they are willing to offer you a contract of up to more than 3 million US dollars, but as far as we know, the contract provided by your current football club is only 250,000 pounds a year, which is less than your scholarship, will you regret it." ”…,

Well, the New York media wanted to make trouble, they didn't want to see their New Yorkers give up football.

'First of all, I want to say that I don't regret my choice, for me my family is more important than money, and I haven't proven myself yet, so I think this contract is very good, considering that players of my age are only tens of thousands of pounds a year. Andy replied with ease.

Although the American media was disappointed with Andy's choice, they still kindly raised questions such as, "Will you play rugby in the future?" "Which do you find more appealing, English football or American football?" and "Do your parents support your decision?" But the British reporters who followed it began to ask questions.

"Andy, we know you're a successful rugby player, but do you think you'll be successful in football?" A reporter asked.

"Of course, I've been trained in football since I was a kid, so you can look up the championships." Andy replied confidently.

"Andy, have you broken up with Beyoncé Gisele North now, what does your sister Angelina Jolie think about you coming to the UK, and according to our information, your girlfriend in the UK is the famous model Kelly Brooke, who has been dating you since she was 14 years old, how did you deal with your relationship." A journalist threw out the question.

Andy glanced at the obscene middle-aged reporter and found that it was from The Sun, and said directly: "That's my private life, it has nothing to do with you, next!" ”

"But we have the freedom to interview, and according to our information, you are still a descendant of a nobleman, you are too rude." The obscene middle-aged reporter shouted unconvinced.

"I also have the right to refuse interviews, and I only be polite to people who are polite to me, and you know that I am a descendant of an aristocracy, and if you had been hundreds of years ago, you would have been in prison." Andy retorted unceremoniously.

"Half an hour has come and I'm going to take a lunch break, so thank you to all the American media for their concern for me, and to the fans who supported me, thank you!

Andy looked at his watch and said politely, and under the stunned gaze of press officer Demis Catherine, he walked out of the press conference hall, and the American reporters who had become accustomed to it were calling to prepare for tomorrow's front page, and the British reporters who had not yet received such treatment were surprised.

As soon as Andy came out of the release hall, he was surrounded by several teammates who were curious to follow and watch, and they were shocked again when they were secretly hiding outside to watch just now.

"Andy, you've won so many awards in the United States in three years, it's amazing!" Phil Neville said as he dangled in front of Andy.

Nicky Bart also said enviously: "You don't go for millions of dollars a year, you come here to play football, you are too good!" ”

The athletic Ryan Giggs just wanted to discuss with Andy more ways to make himself stronger, so he kept pulling him to ask.

David Beckham also followed, and he saw Andy's calmness in the face of reporters and wanted to learn, so he also enthusiastically communicated with this little teammate, hoping to become a real friend with him.

It was a day when all the United players were amazed at what Andy had achieved before, but it was just the beginning for those who didn't understand American culture.

On the second day, the third day, a week before the start of the Premier League, not only reporters came from the United States, but some young American fans came to the Carrington training base and held up signs hoping that Andy would return to the United States, and some female fans even cried until they fainted after seeing Andy.

The British media, which followed suit, immediately joined the group, and as the understanding of Andy deepened, some media controlled by the descendants of the aristocracy proclaimed that it was "the success of British elitist education, the victory of British education over the United States." He even listed Andy's honors in football and equestrianism from childhood to adulthood. …,

British sports newspapers and magazines claim that "English football beats American football".

People Culture magazine called Andy "the sweetest man who shames us with his attitude towards family." ”

The Sun, of course, is not far behind, reporting on every woman around Andy and analyzing Andy's relationship with them at a daily rate of one page per day.

Under this big coverage, he has not played a minute in the Premier League, and his heroics on the rugby pitch and his photos on the Manchester United training ground appear in newspapers and magazines every day.

The tall, handsome and toned Andy has aroused the admiration of countless British girls, and now he is very helpless to look at the playful expressions of his teammates, and the floor of the locker room is full of gifts sent from all over the country, including photos and personal belongings of those girls.

"Andy, you're the one I've been looking for, and now I have to look at your poster every day to fall asleep." Phil Neville pretended to be a woman's voice and read.

"Look at me here, look at me here, this woman's boobs are really big." Andy Cole shouted holding a picture aloft.

As the captain, Roy Keane could only look at the group of young people and smile helplessly, saying that he also liked this hard-working and physically strong child, so he also followed everyone to joke about Andy.

Andy didn't expect things to turn out like this, but he likes his teammates in front of him and the group now, so he is just a teenager and laughs with his teammates.

The success of the past is only the past, and now I want to be successful again in this team and on the football field.

Thinking of the upcoming new season, Andy felt a burst of excitement, and his body couldn't help but tremble a little.

PS: Andy's first season, the first game is coming, are you looking forward to it? Under everyone's care, the book has also been strongly promoted, thank you again! Continue to ask for recommended collections! Thank you to the declining boy who has always supported me, the vice spotted bamboo dolphin bend, the commentator Qin Shi, and the point i
