Chapter 58: Strange Things

The unpleasantness at the press conference did not have any impact on Wansheng.

In his opinion, Brookson and the "Derby County Sport" he represents, and even the local Derby County media, are just clowns, who will only find trouble without trouble, and are not sincere support for the team at all, but just constantly looking for ways to make news to attract readers.

Brookson is one of them.

If it were a normal time, in the case of winning the game, Wan Sheng would also be interviewed, but this is not the case, he led the team to victory, and the questions interviewed by other media reporters are normal, but the local media have changed their tricks to do 'mocking' questions--

"Derby County were so lucky to make it three wins in a row?"

"Why don't you let Hertzger play?"

"A lot of people say you have a better personal relationship with Alfred?"

you!

Damn it!

Lao Tzu led the team to victory is luck? Who also relies on luck to get a relegation team to a three-game winning streak!?

It is Lao Tzu's right to let anyone play, and Lao Tzu still uses you to point fingers!

Thinking about the face of the reporter who asked the scathing question just now, Wan Sheng felt full of anger, and he was determined to stop paying attention to these media outlets such as "Derbyshire Sport", and these media reporters were all blacklisted by him.

However, Wan Sheng's direct refusal of Brookson's interview can be regarded as a small revenge, and if he doesn't think about those questions, he is still in a good mood.

But what he didn't expect was that Derbyshire Sport still had some skills, and as soon as the team returned to the club, he received a call from the club's president, Jie Smith.

"Wansheng, what's going on? Why did you refuse to be interviewed? Ji-Smith's question came from the other side of the phone, and his voice was very calm, like a friend asking about something, but Wan Sheng knew that Smith's tone of voice often had to have an answer, which was his authority as the president of the club.

Wan Sheng listened.

"I just received three calls in a row, all of them were reactions to your lack of serious interviews, they said that you refused to answer a question and complained to me a lot, I don't think you should do this, the team's results are important, but the image in the media is also important, I don't want the team to be affected because of this!"

After Smith finished speaking, Wan Sheng thought about it before saying, "Mr. President, first, I promise you that the team's results will not be affected in any way!" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the guys who call you must be the same reporters who know the team well. Surely there is a Derbyshire Sport? Isn't it? ”

Smith affirmed, "Yes, Wansheng, you know, Derby County Sports is the club's partner media and their coverage is important to the club's image among the fans. I don't know exactly what happened, but you shouldn't say no......"

"Mr. Smith!" Wan Sheng interrupted him, "I know what you're going to say, but I don't think the Derby County Sport report will have any impact on the team's image. You should be aware that since I took over the team, those guys have been slandering me and the whole team, and you can go and look at the news they have been covering us for the past half a month and see what they have said. ”

"I don't understand, how can the club's partner media be such a bunch of guys? If they keep doing that, they might as well not do any reporting on us, because they have been discrediting our image. ”

'So I refused to give any interviews to them, not just for myself but for the whole team.'

Wan Sheng explained.

Smith on the other end of the phone was silent, he naturally knew very well what many local media had reported on Derby County in the past half month, the team has been winning recently, but the report mentioned a lot of problems with the ability to win, as well as doubts about the whole team.

Just before the game against Nottingham Forest, they agreed that Derby County would not be able to win against Nottingham Forest, and Derby County won by two goals on the road.

Perhaps, as this young man said, we chose the wrong partner to work with?

But......

Smith was a bit hesitant, and in his opinion, the media partners were still very important because they had to do a decent amount of coverage for the Derby County club, but if it was all negative news, it seemed ...... It doesn't matter if you don't report it?

Perhaps, what the young man said was right?

Smith was silent for a while, and finally could only say, "Okay, Wansheng, I just hope this doesn't affect the team's results, and remember that relegation is the most important thing." Other than that...... Well done game! ”

"Thank you."

Wan Sheng put down the phone and shook his head with a smile.

……

The next day's media were divided into two factions, one of which gave a brief report on the game, and they were slightly surprised by Derby's two-goal win away to Nottingham Forest, while also praising Alfred and Leighton for their excellent performances, which were all positive coverage of Derby County in summary.

Most of these are neutral media from outside of Derbyshire.

Only a small fraction of them are local media.

The other faction is the local mainstream media such as Derbyshire Sport, which don't say much about Derby's victory, as if the away win against Nottingham Forest was a matter of course.

They seem to have lost interest in the team's victory, and there is not even much mention of Baker Alfred and Bolton Reitt in the report, as if the two young men were flat and had nothing to say in particular.

But they have a lot of coverage of Derby County!

Most of the article is devoted to satirizing the Derby County coach Wan Sheng's arrogance, his lack of attention, his refusal to give interviews, the obstruction of 'freedom of the press', his arrogance after winning two games, and so on.

All kinds of taunts are coming!

This is strange to many Derby County fans, who don't quite understand why the team won and why the manager of the team is treated like this.

They looked at it carefully, and it dawned on them: I see!

At the press conference, the new manager of Derbyshire, a Chinese coach in his twenties, actually refused to be interviewed, and also bluntly said that he would not accept any interview requests from "Derbyshire Sports", and refused to answer questions from "Derbyshire Sports".

If he is a famous coach in the football world, he offends the "Derby County Sport", does not accept interviews, and refuses to answer questions, which is actually nothing at all, but unfortunately, this Chinese coach is a nobody, and he has no influence in the football world at all.

Derbyshire Sports is the most influential local football news outlet in Derbyshire, and they are the partners of Derbyshire clubs, covering the whole of Derby County and even the East Midlands.

The two sides are not a heavyweight.

“…… This Chinese only led the team to win two games, these two games rely more on luck, but he arrogantly did not accept the interview, and threatened not to accept any "Derbyshire Sports" interview in the future, it is hard to imagine that a young coach from a football desert can be arrogant to such a point. ”

"It's so weird! Do we have to interview him? It was as if the earth was going to revolve around him. ”

The language of Derbyshire Sport's personal feature was full of sarcasm, "Insist on not being interviewed? Who does he think he is? We won't do any interviews with him in the future! Absolutely not! When he wants to be interviewed again, but no one will interview him at all, he will realize that he is just a nobody! ”

This is really a bit of a direct curse.

But I have to admit that the influence of "Derbyshire Sports" is not small, at least in Derbyshire, it completely overwhelms those big media, and Brookson is a very famous reporter in "Derbyshire Sport", and can even talk to many big British media, in the media world, his influence is still not small.

He and his Derbyshire Sport are able to control the local discourse in Derbyshire.

Many local tabloids have done a lot of follow-up reports, and they have described Wan Sheng as an arrogant villain, Derby County's three consecutive wins are completely due to luck, and Wan Sheng, who has become the head coach by luck and won the victory, is very arrogant no matter who he faces.

For a time, Wan Sheng was slandered as a good-for-nothing guy.

A lot of people talk about him, almost everyone in Derbyshire knows about him, and even in the East Midlands, he's been in the spotlight.

He was vilified and vilified......

Strange things were born.

Wan Sheng is the head coach of Derby County, leading the team to three consecutive wins, but in the surrounding areas of Derby, there is nothing good about him, but in other parts of England, there are many good reports about Wan Sheng.

"A young and energetic Chinese coach!"

"Maybe he will succeed in the future!"

"Under the leadership of this young coach, Derby's relegation is a great thing!"

The local Derby fans were at a loss.

Derby County fans and readers will subscribe to some newspapers, periodicals, reports about football are more from newspapers, in the era when the Internet is not yet widespread, reports and TV reports are the most mainstream news sources, the influence of Derby County clubs, obviously not mentioned much in TV reports, live broadcasts about the game can only be seen on specific football channels.

So newspapers are the most mainstream news source.

Derby fan readers subscribe to several newspapers, half of which are local Derbyshire newspapers, and the other half are big English media such as Manchester Sport, The Guardian, The Sun and so on.

As a result, the reports they found about Derby County in the local media were all negative, while the reports they found in the big English media had a lot of positive news, and some of the reports also praised Derby's achievements and praised the young manager Wan Sheng.

This...... It's weird.

Derby County fans don't know who to trust
