Chapter VII Press Conferences
At eight o'clock in the morning, Carrington's training base, Manchester City's press conference room was already surrounded by a flood of reporters. At today's press conference, Manchester City will throw out several bombshell news. Despite the rumors that have been circulating before, Manchester City have not responded positively, and today Manchester City will respond to these news positively.
At this time, Wang Xuan was in the chairman's office to meet with the new chairman of the team. The club's new president, also an Arab named Kardun al-Mubarak, walked out of the office with him after exchanging a few words with him. Coupled with Fran and Fahim, several of them will be present at the next press conference.
Wang Xuan's appointment as Manchester City's head coach was only confirmed yesterday, and only a few people knew about it. So, when Manchester City's press officer, Gareth Bales, first learned the news, he was really shocked.
When Bales saw Wang Xuan in person, he was even more shocked. Bales knew about today's press conference, and he secretly prayed for Wang Xuan in his heart, "I hope this young Chinese will not be eaten by that group of reporters for a while." ”
Soon the press conference began, and after a brief speech by Bales, Wang Xuan and Fran walked into the reporters' sights together.
When the reporters saw Wang Xuan's face, the mouth that opened in shock could stuff an egg.
"Manchester City's new manager is this guy? An Asian? ”
"It's no wonder Bales said the new coach was 'unexpected,' which was so unexpected."
"Is it April Fool's Day?"
There was a terrible silence in the press room for a moment, but then the shutter filled everyone's ears, and the flash illuminated the press room. Wang Xuan always kept smiling, and he still wanted to leave a good impression on the media reporters he met for the first time!
Soon Fran took the microphone and smiled: "This is the new manager of Manchester City - the king from China." He will lead Manchester City to new heights......"
"Chinese?"
"It's still a Chinese?"
"Is there football in that country?"
"I seem to have heard of a few Chinese before, but now there is no news."
"That's the player, have you heard of the coach in China?"
"Not at all."
There was a lot of noise in the press room, and Fran handed the microphone to Wang Xuan. Wang Xuan was a little nervous, but he quickly stabilized his emotions, he first introduced himself and then said: "As the manager of Manchester City, it has opened a new chapter in my life, and I will lead Manchester City to meet new challenges." ”
Wang Xuan's speech was also brief, and Bales opened the Q&A session immediately after Wang Xuan's speech.
The question session was what everyone was looking forward to, and soon a Guardian reporter stood up and asked contemptuously, "Who are you?" ”
Wang Xuan felt the disdain of the reporter, and such a tone and expression were no stranger in the time he was looking for a job before. Wang Xuan didn't care originally, but it didn't mean that he was happy to be despised. The smile on his face slowly retracted, and he replied, "I introduced myself just now. ”
"Of course I heard you introduce yourself, but I'm still curious to know who you are, do you understand what I'm asking, or do you not understand? Ha ha! The unbridled laughter of the somewhat balding middle-aged reporter completely angered Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan also saw that this guy was provocative, the smile on his face completely retracted, he glanced at Bales, and asked, "A reporter can only ask one question at a time, right?" ”
Bales was still worried that Wang Xuan would be overwhelmed just now, but Wang Xuan's question, he still reacted quickly and nodded "um".
Wang Xuan turned his head, looked directly at the reporter who provoked him, and said coldly: "Next." ”
Busengren was stunned, the Guardian is one of the three major newspapers in the UK, he has always felt that he is very awesome, he has been doing football interviews for so many years, and the only time he seems to be deflated is in London, in front of the madman named Mourinho. He never thought he would be deflated in front of a nobody's Chinese.
Busengren was just about to have a seizure when the next reporter was already on his feet. This is a reporter from the Manchester City Evening News, which has always been pro-Manchester City, and this reporter's questions are not as sharp as Bussengren's just now. 'Are you happy with City's current squad? What adjustments will be made? What are the team's goals for this season? ”
"The squad is now more complete and there will be some minor adjustments. In addition, my goal this season is to try to win every game and win every championship. Wang Xuan didn't know why he had made such a slightly arrogant answer, but he didn't feel anything wrong after saying this.
But he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and the reporters in the audience didn't think so.
"This Chinese is too crazy!"
"Arrogant Chinese think football is a gamer?"
But now it's time for questions, and the next reporter's question is quickly thrown out.
'How did you become the manager of Manchester City?' The journalist's implication is that he doesn't deserve to be Manchester City's manager.
"Oh, my name is Wang Xuan." Wang Xuan's temper also came up, he greeted him with a smile as soon as he came out today, but he didn't expect that this group of reporters didn't appreciate it, and they were all kinds of disdain and contempt for him. When there is no capital, Wang Xuan may endure it, but now that he has capital, how can he endure the unreasonableness of this group of reporters.
Yesterday at home, he had already thought very clearly. To this group of reporters, he greeted them with a smile first, and if the reporters gave face, then everyone would be easy to say. If this group of journalists doesn't give face, then I'm sorry. For people who are shameless in their faces, there is nothing polite at all. Anyway, as a head coach, his achievements in leading the team are the most important thing, and this group of reporters does not pay him a pound's salary, what does he have to worry about?
"Next!" Wang Xuan stiffened his face and said coldly.
"Manchester City are rumoured to have been bought by a consortium from the Middle East, you wouldn't be the illegitimate son of the owner behind the takeover of Manchester United! Ha ha! Another reporter asked.
"The Sun? I'll sue you for rumors and slander, next. ”
The Sun, as the largest lace gossip newspaper in the UK, is most interested in the topic of illegitimate children, but this reporter obviously does not think that Wang Xuan will really sue him.
Wang Xuan's performance shocked Bales and Fran very much, and Fran finally felt that the boss seemed to have a little reason to choose Wang Xuan today.
The reporter's question was radical, and Wang Xuan's answer was also very radical. Today's press conference is fast drawing to a close with the introduction of the new head coach. Next, Bales terminated the reporter's questions and took the press conference to the next part......
