Derby County are close to the FA Cup semi-finals after their win over Everton.

The next day, the FA Cup quarter-finals were fully concluded, with Manchester United beating Fulham 1-0, Arsenal beating Portsmouth 5-1 and Millwall beating Tranmere 2-1 over two legs, so that the FA Cup semi-finals were all produced, and the final four were Manchester United, Arsenal, Derby County and Millwall.

The focus of the media report is the match between Derby County and Everton, because this one is the only game that can be called an 'underdog', in terms of strength, Everton is still very strong as a Premier League powerhouse, and Derby County is only a League One team, the difference between the two teams is a league level, and most of the public opinion supports Everton, and Derby County is considered to be 'arrogant', ' The synonym of arrogance', especially before the game, was reported and criticized, but now on the contrary, Derby County won and won by three goals away from home, which made many so-called 'football people' and 'football commentators' fall through their glasses.

Wan Sheng's words in the post-match press conference became the headline of many media reports, 'From now on, Derby County are already a strong team!' This is a statement that describes the game between Derby County and Everton, Derby County won a tight victory, and they can fully say that they are a strong team.

However, when it comes to the game, more people are concerned about the strength shown by the entire Derby County team, as well as the performance of the various players in Derby.

The most eye-catching player is undoubtedly Gary Cahill, who scored two goals.

Cahill was almost perfect in this game, he was active throughout the game, scoring two goals, especially the last direct volley, which showed extraordinary individual ability, and his age is 24 years old, which happens to be the best age for a professional footballer. As a result, many media outlets have reported on Cahill, and various top league clubs have also expressed their interest in Cahill.

Soon there were rumours in the media that many clubs were interested in Cahill, including Middlesbrough, Everton, Aston Villa, Manchester City, and even Arsenal, who were still unbeaten in dozens of games in the Premier League. He also said of Cahill, "I love him as a very good striker and I think he would be the best partner for Thierry Henry."

There will always be two focal points in English football, one is Alex Ferguson and the other is Arsene Wenger.

Whatever Wenger says, it is always news in the media, let alone when he highlights players from other teams, and everyone knows what it means for a Frenchman to be interested in a player. That means the player is likely to have the opportunity to play for Arsenal.

Another player on the radar is Franck Ribery.

Franck Franck Ribery has been a standout performer on the left side of the Derby County and although he was not as bright as Cahill in this game, he was also the second-best player in the team, with Manchester Sport giving him a rating of 8. The same score as Gary Cahill's score suggests that Manchester Sport believes Ribery's table is also perfect.

What's even more appealing is that Ribery is two years younger than Cahill, only 22 years old so far. Such a young, technically talented French player naturally attracts a lot of attention.

In addition to Ribery, other outstanding players in Derby County are also in the spotlight. Morris, Osman, Baines, Ivan Crewe, etc., each of these players has been commented on by some media to a greater or lesser extent, and at the same time, it has also broken the news that such and such a team is interested in such and such a player.

It is worth mentioning Leon Osman.

In the game with Everton, Osman was the starter, his appearance in this game is not very conspicuous, but in the manager's vision, it is natural to see Osman's role in the Derby County's full-field pressing defense, Moyes saw this, and it just so happened that Osman was loaned to Derby County from Everton, although Derby County has half ownership, but after the loan expires, it is still necessary to return to Everton, the only problem is that the two sides reached an agreement when the loan was on loan, Derby County paid Everton £1 million to buy half of Osman's ownership, but if Everton wanted to recall Osman, they would have to buy back the half of the ownership according to Osman's value at the time.

How much is Ottoman worth now?

According to Osman's table in Derby County this season, his value has at least doubled, from about 2 million pounds to about 4 million pounds, that is to say, if Everton wants to recall Osman, he must pay 2 million pounds to buy back half of the ownership, in this case, whether to recall Osman, David Moyes really has to think carefully, after all, 2 million pounds is definitely not a small amount of money, Even for Everton, especially Osman's appearance is not so conspicuous, can he return to Everton to show that he is good? When he comes back, maybe he will only be a fringe player? £2 million for a strong substitute would have to be carefully considered, let alone a fringe player, which would be a bit of a luxury for Everton

In the mixed reports, there is still praise for Derby County as a whole, after all, Derby County won against Everton, they are the winners, and there is reason to enjoy praise.

But some of these media outlets are embarrassed.

This refers to the 'hostile' media that supported Derby County before the game, the most representative of which is the Daily Mirror, the Daily Mirror praised Derby County because they hoped that Wan Sheng would be negligent, but they failed to get the expected result, but Derby County won Everton strongly, and other neutral media have praised Derby County, so how should they report it now?

There is no doubt that the hype needs to be continued.

It's a must.

It is impossible for them to say good things about Derby before the game, Derby County won, and they will become bad things about Derby County after the game, this attitude of casual reporting is not what the big media should do, because it will make readers very dissatisfied, so they just vomit blood and continue to report on Derby, and at the same time send some praise.

That's not what Brand wants to see.

The point is that this is not the main thing, the Daily Mirror, as one of the two 'tabloids' in England (the Daily Mirror and The Sun), cannot be like those small media outlets, which are just written to do some praise and report. That kind of reporting is meaningless to them, and it's a complete suspicion of 'making up the word count', so they have to report the actual content as well.

How does the actual content come about?

To do an interview, it is best to go directly to the Derby County club to interview the manager Wan Sheng, and even worse, to interview some Derby County players, Brand will definitely not do that, because he knows that damn Chinese will definitely refuse his interview, and he has no face to stand in front of other media colleagues who interview Derby, because he is now doing positive coverage of Derby.

So the task was given to Glenn.

Glenn was just a trainee journalist, and no one knew him. Maybe he can get something out of it by going to the town of Great Derby?

Brand thought so

Glenn didn't expect his new job to be doing interviews, and in fact, he's been looking forward to it since he became a trainee reporter.

Journalists, naturally, want to do interviews, and the whole thing is boring in the office to watch some competitions and then write some manuscripts, which is not his ideal job, and he hopes to go out like other reporters. Conduct interviews and surveys with various celebrities face-to-face, and then make real reports based on the content of the interviews.

Now he has the opportunity, and it's what he's been waiting for, to interview Wan Sheng and then make a positive report based on the content.

This excites Glenn.

After receiving a new job assignment. He packed his things in the morning and went to the town of Great Derbyshire, London is not far from Derbyshire, and he had already arrived in the town of Great Derbyshire at noon, and then went directly to the Derbyshire Club to do an interview.

In Glenn's imagination. Go to Derbyshire Club to do an interview, that is, go to Derbyshire Club and report the name of the Daily Mirror. Then he was able to ask some questions face-to-face with Wan Sheng, and he could also go to the club to do some filming and so on, but it turned out that there was a gap between thinking and reality, especially for a reporter representing the Daily Mirror, coming to the town of Great Derby County to cover the Derby County Club was definitely not a good job.

Glenn had to huddle in the middle of a group of reporters who were told they could enter certain areas of the club to do some interviews after Derby's daily training session was over, and Glenn was left alone outside the club.

"Why don't you let me in?" Glenn was a little confused.

The dutiful doorman looked at Glenn haughtily and gave him the answer, "Because you are a reporter for the Daily Mirror, the Derby County Club rejects the Daily Mirror." ”

The reason is as simple as that.

Now the whole Derby County club, including all the staff, has a good impression of Wan Sheng, because Wan Sheng has led Derby County to achieve unexpected results, the team results are good, the club will run well, and these staff members have also received more bonuses, this qiē is of course very related to Wan Sheng, and the doorman uncle is also one of them, and he will naturally faithfully carry out Wan Sheng's request - refuse those hostile media and reporters.

Glenn represents the Daily Mirror, undoubtedly among the Derby County club's rejections.

Glenn felt a little embarrassed to see his peers enter the club for interviews and he was stopped outside, and he kept explaining that he was here to do positive interviews, but the doorman didn't pay attention to it at all.

In the end, Glenn could only leave with regret.

Standing in front of the Derby County Club for an afternoon, and then being told that he couldn't enter the club, Glenn's mood can be imagined, but he was more worried about work, he called a little nervously to tell Sù Brand the news, but what he didn't expect was that Brand didn't blame him.

"It's okay, Glenn, you can work there, report to the society to help you reimburse your room and board expenses, you have to be prepared to continue interviewing, but I hope you can gain something, this is also a test of your ability to interview with the outside world"

Brand said.

Glenn didn't understand that Brand would be so easy to talk to, he thought he had messed things up, but it was really good to be like this, although he couldn't get into the Derby County club, but he had been in the town of Great Derby, and he definitely had the opportunity to do an interview.

But in reality, Brand never thought that Glenn would be successful on the first day.

In Brand's view, this interview work is almost impossible to complete, because the Derby County club rejects the Daily Mirror, he and Wan Sheng have so many grievances, entangled for so long, naturally have a deep understanding of Wan Sheng, the Derby County Club, in his opinion, that damn Chinese will not compromise like the media, he said that if he wants to reject the "Daily Mirror", then he will definitely refuse, so the biggest gain, it is good to be able to interview a few Derby County players, he sent Glenn out, that is, to show an attitude, Letting people know that their athletic department is doing their best to do interviews, and that Glenn is a trainee journalist is also an experience for him, and young people always have to face some setbacks.
