Another day passed, and the game was approaching.

In London, there were a number of media reporters flocking to the Arsenal club for the last press conference before leaving for Cardiff, Wales, and Arsene Wenger will take Thierry Henry with him to talk about their team, about the Carabao Cup final, and he will patiently answer questions from reporters.

Arsenal's press conference hall is large enough to accommodate more than a hundred journalists, but there are quite a few people standing in the back row for interviews.

Among the reporters in the audience, there were many reporters from other countries, but most of them were European reporters, and one of them had a square face, short black hair and slightly yellow skin, which made people know that this was an East Asian.

In fact, he is a Chinese, his name is Zhang Dengfeng.

Zhang Dengfeng is a reporter from Sina Sports, he came to England to do football interviews, as a football city in the south of England, London is naturally the top priority, and he came to Arsenal to do some understanding of the situation at Arsenal.

In fact, Zhang Dengfeng doesn't care about the League Cup.

As a reporter, the topics that domestic fans care about are what he wants to care about, and the influence of the League Cup is not far away in China, Chinese fans are more concerned about the Premier League, the Champions League, even if it is a cup in England, the FA Cup is what Chinese fans care about, the League Cup? Even many Chinese fans have never heard of it.

Therefore, after the press conference began, when some reporters asked questions about the League Cup, Zhang Dengfeng did not even listen carefully, and these news were of no use to him at all.

Until a reporter asked such a question. "Mr. Arsene Wenger, what do you think of Wigan Athletic's No. 13 Tiehan-Zhang?"

tiehan-zhang……？

Zhang Dengfeng muttered the words of these three tones. It felt strange and familiar. He thought for a long time before he reacted, this Nima is a Chinese name!

What's going on?

Apart from Manchester City's Sun Jiwai, are there any other players who play in the Premier League? Impossible! If there is such a player, it makes no sense that he will not be heard.

Zhang Dengfeng didn't know why, but he was in a lot of spirit.

Just listen to Arsene Wenger, "I know him, he's only 19 years old, but now he is the top scorer in League One, I don't question his ability to win the League One Golden Boot." Such a great young man is something that every coach loves. I'm the same, but we're opponents now and I'm going to get my players to keep an eye on him. ”

Nineteen years old, League One Golden Boot ......

Zhang Dengfeng got these two important words from Wenger's words, plus the name just now, he found that he really needed to understand something.

But other reporters were concerned about other passages in Arsene Wenger's words, such as the phrase 'This wonderful young man is what every coach loves, and so do I'. Could it be understood that Arsene Wenger threw an olive branch to Wigan Athletic players before the Carabao Cup final?

The reporters present were overjoyed, and they all felt that they had not come in vain today. Just one sentence is enough to write a good report.

……

Zhang Dengfeng is not as 'gossipy' as those media, it should be said that as a reporter, he is also very gossipy. However, the content of the gossip is different from the type of things that other reporters care about, and he cares more about this newly emerging Zhang Tiehan.

After leaving the press conference. He immediately looked up Wigan Athletic's profile and looked up the profile of their player Zhang Tiehan.

If it can be confirmed that this is a Chinese player. That must be earth-shattering news!

Unfortunately, Zhang Dengfeng did not get the result he wanted, Zhang Tiehan, indeed a pure-blooded Chinese, but a German-Chinese player, which made him feel slightly disappointed, but on the other hand, he was also surprised by Zhang Tiehan's excellence.

Nineteen-year-old top scorer in League One!

After being in Europe for so long, Zhang Dengfeng naturally knows the meaning of the English League One Golden Boot, which represents an excellent striker goalscorer, not to mention that this outstanding striker goalscorer is only nineteen years old and is still a German-Chinese player.

Taken together, the amount of information is worth his reporting.

There are too few outstanding players in China.

Even if he is only a Chinese and not a Chinese player, he still deserves China's attention. China has always been a country that attaches great importance to blood, as long as there is Chinese blood, no matter what nationality it is, it will make people think that he is a Chinese, because the bloodline itself is the common root of the Chinese.

After making up his mind, Zhang Dengfeng immediately decided to go to Wigan for an interview.

……

On the other hand, the German media also noticed Zhang Tiehan.

Zhang Tiehan came to England as a teenager and has been playing in the Manchester United Academy, and only joined Wigan Athletic Club last summer and became a regular professional player, but he has not yet registered with the German Football Association, that is, the German Football Association has no information about him at all.

There is no information about football, and the German media will not care about League One or the League Cup in general, so they naturally do not know that there is such a young player in Germany.

Until this League Cup final!

Wigan Athletic, Zhang Tiehan, the top scorer in the English League, etc., these together are enough to attract the attention of the German media, and many German reporters who came to London for interviews, like Zhang Dengfeng, immediately went to Wigan to get first-hand information.

Two days before the finals, Wigan suddenly saw a surge in the number of reporters.

Among them, there are local media in Manchester, there are media from other parts of England, but there are also a large number of foreign media, most of which are German media, and the arrival of many media reporters has surprised Wigan Athletic Club, after all, even if it is the League Cup final, they are only one of the teams involved, and the other team, Arsenal, will receive more attention.

The scene made Wigan Athletic Club so happy that they immediately organised a press conference before the match.

Jevier attended the press conference.

It's just that he didn't bring any players with him, and his reason was that 'my players are doing closed training', which made many media reporters who came to interview unhappy. But they also have no way to do closed training before the final. Such reasons are sufficient, and they cannot refute them.

Then they could only interview Jevier. Ask him questions about Zhang Tiehan.

As a Chinese reporter, Zhang Dengfeng was also particularly noticed by Wigan Athletic Club, after all, he was from far away China, and they were all very proud of such a reporter's interview, so Zhang Dengfeng got a chance to ask questions.

"Mr. Jewell, can you tell us a little bit about Zhang Tiehan on the Thirteenth? Like, what role does he have in the team, and. His importance in the team. Zhang Dengfeng asked.

Other journalists were also in good spirits.

In Wigan Athletic, the two who have attracted the most attention are Zhang Tiehan and Riedell, compared to the latter, Zhang Tiehan is only nineteen years old, and he is the main striker shooter, so he obviously receives more attention.

Jewell groaned and said with a light smile, "Zhang is a good player. When I was in the youth team of Manchester United, it was very good. So I brought him to Wigan, where he showed his great individual ability just as I expected. He's an integral part of the team right now, of course, just look at the number of goals he's scored in the game. I know his role in tactics. ”

'He's the team's most important goalscorer, the number one scorer. I think that's enough to say something, next. We have a Carabao Cup final against Arsenal and Zhang will definitely start and if we want to compete for the title, we have to rely on Zhang's ability. ”

Jewell said, not sparing praise for Zhang Tiehan at all.

This made Zhang Dengfeng and a group of German reporters who came to interview very happy, but the local reporters in England disdained Jewell's words, no matter how good Zhang Tiehan was, he was just a League One player for the time being, and they were more concerned about the sentence 'We want to compete for the championship'.

Haha......ha

Wigan Athletic want to compete with Arsenal for the League Cup? It was simply the biggest joke in a few days!

……

Arsenal and Wigan Athletic held their last pre-match press conferences, so the next day, reporters had coverage of the Carabao Cup.

"Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger threw an olive branch to Zhang!"

"Arsene Wenger: I admire Zhang!"

'Jewell: Will we fight Arsenal for the league title?' Title: Do You Believe It? ’”

Wait a minute.

There are a lot of reports, the report about Zhang Tiehan can still be seen, the report about the League Cup is a bit bleak in the eyes of Wigan Athletic, tomorrow is the final battle at the Cardiff Millennium Stadium, but in the eyes of most people, the decisive battle is meaningless, and there is no suspense about the outcome of the game.

But in any case, all the reporters covering the Carabao Cup and the two teams have come to Cardiff, Wales, and the match between the two teams will also be played at the Cardiff Millennium Stadium.

Wigan Athletic and Arsenal both flew to Cardiff, arriving at the airport at the same distance of only half an hour.

When the Wigan Athletic team walked out of the airport corridor, they saw a large number of fans and reporters at the exit of the airport, and the cameras were placed there one by one, and they couldn't count them. The players were very excited, and even though they often see reporters now, this lineup of reporters still makes them really feel the atmosphere of the tournament, and it feels as if the attention of the whole world is focused on them.

As soon as the team walked out of the corridor, the reporters immediately took crazy pictures!

The Wigan Athletic players waved at the reporters with smiles on their faces, they were all excited and happy, but the joy only lasted long...... When their attention shifted to the fans, the mood was a lot lower.

There are thousands of fans who come to the airport to greet them, but these thousands of people are basically wearing Arsenal jerseys, and it is rare to see fans wearing Wigan Athletic jerseys, that is, these fans are actually here to welcome Arsenal, and they don't care at all.

Everyone immediately lost interest.

But when they reached the most popular crowd, they still saw a group of Wigan Athletic fans, those Wigan Athletic fans waved wildly at them, several of them also held a big banner, which said - Wigan Athletic, we support you, go to the Millennium Stadium to kill Arsenal!

The banner was so conspicuous that everyone looked at it.

As a result, they all saw familiar faces, a group of the purest Wigan fans, who can be seen at every home stadium, even in everyday life.

Among them are also the female family members of the players, such as Dali, such as Janet...... Another example, Beth, seeing these familiar faces, as well as their expectations and shouts, the Wigan Athletic players immediately felt a hundred times more energetic, as if there was a voice saying-

We are not without supporters!

At this time, I heard a sharp and melodious female voice shouting, "Our heroes, go to the Millennium Stadium to kill Arsenal, you can do it!" ”

The other Wigan fans shouted along.

The neat shouts were obviously arranged for a long time, and the Wigan Athletic players were very excited when they heard this shout, and they all waved at the fans and shouted at the fans regardless of the surrounding fans and reporters-

"Don't worry! We'll do it! ”

"We're going to kill them and win the championship!"

Among them, Zhang Tiehan's rough voice by shaking his arm was even more outstanding, and the shouting was heard clearly by everyone around him, "Ha Lu Haha, what is Arsenal?" They are a group of little women, girls, we are men, we are warriors, we will let them know how good men are! ”

When a group of unscrupulous teammates heard this roar, they immediately muted their voices, and they all laughed along with Ha Luha. (To be continued......)
