Chapter 44: The Jersey
After the game, Zhang Tiehan became the focus of reporters.
Coming out of the locker room, I walked into the passage and met various reporters waiting there, who looked over excitedly and waited to interview Zhang Tiehan.
This battle even made Zhang Tiehan a little scared, and the eyes of those reporters were like a man-eating beast, and he was the beast.
Brekin shoved him from behind, pushing him into the crowd, "Zhang, they're waiting to interview you!" After saying that, he smiled evilly at Zhang Tiehan, and he, Ridell and the others left gracefully, and Zhang Tiehan gritted his teeth when he saw it.
"You wait for me!" Zhang Tiehan shook his fist at Brekin.
Soon he would have to face a mob of reporters --
'What do you think of West Bromwich Albion, especially that goal, what do you think of West Bromwich Albion's defence?'
"How are you feeling when you win the game?"
"What do you have to say about being the Man of the Match for the first time?"
"How did you leave Manchester United, you performed so well, why did Manchester United put you up for sale?"
"Do you consider yourself a genius? Do you feel stressed? ”
"Acclimatization to Wigan's environment? Have you ever wondered how long you're going to stay here? ”
Wait a minute.
All kinds of questions made Zhang Tiehan dizzy.
He was still thinking about solemnly accepting interviews with reporters just now, so that his fame and prestige would increase, but now in this situation, he didn't know how to deal with it, he had no experience in this area.
Zhang Tiehan glanced at many reporters, and suddenly grabbed a microphone, many reporters were still asking questions, and immediately shut up when they saw his action, and they all quieted down and waited for Zhang Tiehan's answer.
With so many questions, it was impossible for Zhang Tiehan to answer them one by one, he didn't hear them too clearly, and he didn't know how to answer them.
So in the face of these reporters, Zhang Tiehan stopped and immediately shouted in a rough voice, "Quiet! ”
It was quiet just now......
Zhang Tiehan looked left and right in embarrassment, in the face of so many eyes, he felt more nervous than on the field, he exhaled, cleared his throat and said, "My name is Zhang Tiehan, you better remember this name, I will become a big star!" Well, that's it, see you again! ”
After speaking, without waiting for the reporters to react, he immediately pushed away the crowd and ran away.
Running straight around the corner, he slowed down in fear.
Those people, it's terrible!
……
At the post-match press conference, head coach Jewell received a lot of questions about Zhang Tiehan.
Jewell also wanted to protect Zhang Tiehan and prevent him from contacting the media so early, but now the situation is that the reporters are crazy, and their questions are all related to Zhang Tiehan.
There was no way to do it, so Jewell could only answer a few questions about the game.
"Defending is our tactic, and I was surprised by Zhang's goal, but it was also expected, we focused on quick counterattacks, and Zhang was very fast, so he became an important part of my tactics."
"Ellington and Makarocchi also did well, but unfortunately their luck was not good, and that goal Zhang did a good job."
"Of course he's physically strong! What the? How strong is it, you ask? You can go and interview his girlfriend. Jeville made a rare joke.
"I don't know what other people think of Lu Dao, Zhang is very fast and has good ability, but that kind of goal can't be replicated."
When Jewell answered the question, he deliberately downplayed Zhang Tiehan's goal, which was for Zhang Tiehan's sake, he didn't want his players to be praised too highly, and then if the performance was not good, it would be bad to have psychological problems.
However, the reporters did not pay attention to that at all, they only cared about the news that was worth reporting, and they were very dissatisfied with Jewell's answer.
But they can't help it.
Jewell didn't bring Zhang Tiehan to the press conference at all, they couldn't find Zhang Tiehan, they could only ask Jewell questions, and as for the other Wigan Athletic players, they didn't have much value at all.
The only value may be to hear what they have to say about Zhang Tiehan, but the player's words are not as important as Jewell, the manager who single-handedly brought Zhang Tiehan from Manchester United to Wigan Athletic.
Alexia was also among the reporters at the press conference.
She is just a rookie journalist, but in this group of reporters, she has quite a status, because she represents Manchester Sport, and most of the reporters are small media reporters, so her status is quite high.
Originally, the reporter's questions came in order, and she was ranked third, but she didn't expect to give up the question, and it wasn't until ten minutes later that Alexia stood up and asked, "Mr. Jewell, do you think it was luck about that goal in the game?" ”
Alexia can't accept Zhang Tiehan's ability to score goals at all, it's good for a defender to defend well, and he actually scored the only goal, which is not equivalent to slapping her in the face.
She said to her face that Zhang Tiehan would never succeed.
So she put the goal down to 'luck'.
After the question, she also said conclusively, "As far as I know, Wigan Athletic's number 13 is a pure defensive player, he can't play well with the rest of the team, and before that goal, Riddle broke the ball and went straight to the ball with a big kick, but luck got to the feet of Macarocchi." ”
Although it was only the first time to interview alone, she did a lot of work, and even memorized the names of every player on the field at Wigan Athletic, and read a lot of information about each player.
She did a lot of work for her analysis.
As soon as Jewell heard the question from the female reporter in front of him, he immediately became a little annoyed, he wanted to downplay Zhang Tiehan's goal, but he didn't want the reporters to report too much and raise Zhang Tiehan too high, but he didn't want others to deny his player's efforts.
"That's not luck, I'm telling you very clearly that defense is my tactic, clearance is also my tactic, Riddle's long balls are very accurate, if you know a little bit about my team, you won't ask such questions." ”
"We did a lot of tactical demonstrations before the game, and Zhang's speed was also our means of attacking."
Jewell stared at Alexia and said, "Plus, Zhang isn't a pure defender, and this isn't his first goal in the league!" ”
Being ridiculed by Jewell in person, Alexia was a little embarrassed, her face was not very good-looking, but she gritted her teeth and asked, "Do you think that is not luck, does it mean that Zhang may score the same goal again?" ”
The question was rather acute, almost forcing Jewell to admit something.
But obviously Alexia is inexperienced as a football journalist, and the kind of questions are very poignant, and the problem is that as the person being asked, Jewell can choose not to answer.
The other reporters also shook their heads secretly, this female reporter from Manchester Sports was still too young.
Sure enough, Jeville just shook his head, "I refuse to answer this question. ”
The manager has every reason not to answer such a sharp question, which is also the unspoken rule of public figures in interviews with reporters.
No matter how unwilling Alexia is, she can only sit down, even if she is a reporter for Manchester Sport, she is still a reporter, and this is Wigan, JJB Stadium, Wigan Athletic's turf.
……
At the end of the game, Wigan Athletic returned to the club en masse, and the whole team was disbanded.
A lot of the players are still talking about today's game.
For example, Bregin, he took a fancy to Zhang Tiehan's jersey, and Zhang Tiehan took off the torn jersey during the game, and then assistant coach St Bront specially brought the jersey back to the locker room.
At first, no one noticed, Zhang Tiehan wanted to throw it away, but was stopped by Bregin.
"What are you kidding, Zhang! It's torn up in the game, and it's a big proof that you scored that goal......"
"What do you mean?" Zhang Tiehan was a little dazed.
Riedel walked over and took the jersey and said with a smile, "Zhang, since you want to throw it away, just give it to me!" ”
Bregin immediately complained, "Andy! What do you mean, that's what I fancy first! ”
"So what, Zhang wants to give it to me, you say yes? Sheet! Ridell shot back.
Hearing the three arguing, several teammates who were about to leave also came over in fun and immediately joined the competition.
Zhang Tiehan was even more dazed, "What do you mean?" This jersey is torn......"
"Stupid!" "If you put this jersey online, I think there will be a lot of people willing to buy it!" ”
"Spend a lot of money...... "Bregin's face was a little complimentary.
"Big price, how much is that?" Hearing that there was money to be made, Zhang Tiehan immediately asked.
Ellington came over and explained, "I've heard that the daily necessities of those stars can sell for more than 10,000 pounds at charity auctions...... Your jersey means a lot, I think I can sell it for 2,000 pounds! ”
"Two thousand pounds, you say?" Zhang Tiehan was overjoyed and immediately snatched the jersey.
Brygin grumbled, "Nathan, why are you telling him...... Zhang, let's discuss, you give me the jersey, I'll help you sell it, and then how about 55 percent?"
"How much does that sell for?" Zhang Tiehan said cautiously, a thousand pounds is a lot, which is equivalent to a week's salary now.
"Two thousand pounds...... Bregin said uncertainly.
"Okay, you sell it and give me a thousand pounds!" Zhang Tiehan decided to take a thousand pounds for free, and he didn't have to do anything, he was still willing to do this kind of good thing.
"That's it!"
Brygin happily took the jersey, but didn't see that both Ridell and Ellington shook their heads and walked away.
