Chapter 13: The Real War!
After Leiton-Bynstone's medical examination, Derby County FC announced his arrival on the official website. =
It was Derby's first signing.
The local media of Derby County is still very concerned about the recruitment of Derby County, mainly because the fans will pay a lot of attention, and the fans will naturally pay attention to them, so after the first recruitment was made on the official website of Derby County, they knew the news for the first time, and they also went to find the information of Layton Baines for the first time, and then they are now a 19-year-old newcomer who has just signed a contract with Wigan Athletic for half a year.
A newcomer? 3o million pounds?
Derby County will really buy high and sell low!
What the hell are they doing when they sell their players at a low price, but they are willing to pay a lot of money for this kind of young player who hasn't proven themselves at all? They don't understand. Then they will be more emboldened to question and satirize Wan Sheng.
"Sell so many good players and buy a 19-year-old?"
"This guy named Layton Baines is even worth more than Adam Bode, it's a joke!"
"Now Derby County will definitely go to the second division next year!"
After some ridicule, a large group of media reporters went to the press conference held by Derby County for the signing of Ryan Bynes with 'high interest', and they had already planned to question it at the press conference.
Question not only that Chinese, but also this nineteen-year-old young man! As for the young man who didn't provoke them...... Who let this young man be bought by the Chinese?
They don't think about the psychological impact it will have on a young player.
In this way, the signing ceremony prepared by Derby County for Layton Baines began, and many reporters crowded into the venue, waiting for the ceremony to begin, they were looking forward to the arrival of Leiden Baines, and also looking forward to the arrival of Wansheng, which was the first meeting between Wansheng and them in the new season.
It makes a lot of sense.
A lot of people think so.
……
Wan Sheng didn't know what these media reporters were thinking, but he was always cautious. Because he had a conflict with reporters, he wouldn't be interviewed by hostile reporters, and naturally, so did Layton Bynes, who was with him at the press conference.
He's going to use this press conference to give Leiton Bynes his first lesson, telling him that he's the boss of the Derby team, No.1, and he doesn't give interviews to any reporter. The players who attended the press conference were also looking up to him.
That's what Wansheng thinks.
It's a small disappointment, but it's still important to establish authority, but he doesn't think it will have any psychological impact on Layton Bynes, and following the head coach is the same in every team, let alone a newcomer to the professional league like Layton Bynes.
He didn't expect it to be a favor for Layton Bynes.
……
As a result, when the signing ceremony was over, it was the turn of the reporters to ease their questions, and the reporters raised their hands very enthusiastically, and the first person to stand up and ask questions was Brookson, a reporter from the "Derbyshire Sport", who was an 'old friend'. Wan Sheng has no right to prevent him from entering the venue for interviews, after all, this is what Europeans call 'freedom of interviews', but he can refuse to answer questions, and he can also have his players refuse to answer questions.
So when Brookson stood up and was about to ask Layton Bynes a question. Wan Sheng coughed lightly and said seriously, "Mr. Brookson, you should know. You're on the blacklist of my notebook, and I'm not going to give you an interview. ”
Brookson said nonchalantly. "But I'm not going to interview you, I'm asking Bynes a question."
"No, no." Wan Sheng waved his hand, "Baines is my player, and he listens to me every time, so Baines, you won't be interviewed by Brookson either, right?" ”
Hearing Wan Sheng's words, Leiden Bynes was immediately dumbfounded.
He didn't quite understand what this meant, but fortunately he was still sober and knew that when he came to a team, he would definitely not be able to go against the head coach, so he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, sir." ”
Wan Sheng nodded in satisfaction and looked at Brookson, "Did you hear that?" ”
Brookson's face flushed with anger, he looked at Bynes and asked, "You refused to be interviewed by me?" ”
Layton-Baines was at a loss, he glanced at Wan Sheng worriedly, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes." That was enough, and Brookson could only sit down and look at Wan Sheng angrily.
Now many reporters know what Wansheng means.
This Chinese himself does not give interviews and does not allow his players to do interviews...... This practice is simply ...... Abuse!?
Dictatorship!
Despicable and shameless!
A series of adjectives were read by the reporters in the audience, and Wan Sheng's approach really caught them off guard, and they didn't know how to react for a while. But then there were reporters who didn't give up trying to stand up, and as a result, Wan Sheng repeated what he had just said to Brookson, and Layton Bynes only knew how to nod his head.
The press conference after the signing ceremony went on in this way, until a reporter who was 'friendly' with Wansheng stood up and asked questions.
They are in competition with the mainstream media represented by the "Derbyshire Sport", in this case, they are naturally happy to see those competing reporters deflated, in this case, as a local small media, but have the opportunity to interview, they are naturally very happy, they also know what to ask, what not to ask, in short, the principle is 'absolutely not to make this Chinese unhappy'.
So the next press conference went very smoothly.
"Mr. Bynes, what do you think of Derbyshire?"
"What are you looking forward to in the new season?"
"I wish you every success in Derbyshire!"
"You're going to love this town soon!"
In order not to offend Wan Sheng, these reporters even said that they were currying favor with Wan Sheng, and they just asked normal and friendly questions, and even sent all kinds of blessings to Leiden Baines at best. This made Leighton Bynes feel good that he was the right person to come to Derby, and of course, he consciously ignored the beginning that the press conference didn't understand.
Wan Sheng was also very satisfied with the smooth flow of the press conference.
This kind of press conference is hello, I am good, hello everyone, in a harmonious atmosphere, a group of reporters to wish the new players the future, which is really good, and it is also an encouragement for the new players. As for the reporters who had a stiff face and a dead posture, he completely ignored them.
After the signing ceremony for Layton Bynes, Wan Sheng met with Frank Ribery and Leto Ziegler, who had come to the team for a medical examination, and they completed the medical examination normally, and then their transfer was announced on the official website of Derby County.
The arrival of the two was uneventful, and the Derby County club also held a signing ceremony for them to show that the team valued them.
But the process is basically the same.
The difference is that before the signing ceremony between the two, Wan Sheng communicated with Ribery and spoke frankly about the conflict between him and the Derbyshire media. Ribery is 22 years old after all, he is not a new professional player like Leiton Baines and Leto Ziegler, and he doesn't want his strength to put any obstacles between the two men.
During the interview of the signing ceremony in Ribery, there were also hostile media reporters who stood up to ask questions, and after being blocked by Wan Sheng's words, the signing ceremony proceeded smoothly.
By the time Leto Ziegler arrived, the hostile media reporters simply stopped coming.
Looking at the few reporters in the audience, Leto Ziegler let out a long breath, for him who was only seventeen years old. Facing too many journalists is also a stress. But the whole interview process made Leto Ziegler feel inexplicably comfortable, and in his opinion, these reporters who asked questions were simply too kind, after asking a question. And say two words of blessing, is this the British media?
Before coming to the UK, some friends told him that the British media is not easy to deal with, and the media in these big countries are very proud. But Leto Ziegler did not see this pride, he only felt kindness and warmth.
"British journalists are really good people......"
Ziegler's slightly childish heart thought silently.
……
Wan Sheng didn't have time to correct Ziegler's opinion.
On the afternoon of the signing ceremony for Ziegler, Leon Osman also came to the team. His transfer was only finalized, but Osman already knew that he was going to be loaned out this season, but the loan process was a bit unexpected, and Derby County actually bought half of his ownership, of course, it didn't affect me, so he still came to the team as soon as possible.
Derby's official website soon announced that Leon Osman had become a member of Derby, nominally on 'loan' in order to save Everton's face.
Although it was nominally a 'loan', Derby County still held a signing ceremony for Leon Osman, and the process went on as usual, by which time the hostile media had learned to be obedient and they did not come to the signing ceremony at all, which was really cold and gave Leon Osman a feeling of 'this is really a small club'.
The ensuing interview process also brought warmth to Leon Osman, and he felt that 'small clubs are also good, and watching these reporters is very good'.
But the interview process is different from the outside story.
The mainstream media in Derby County does not have the right to ask questions, but they do have the right to report, and after all, they are the mainstream media, and they have the right to speak, and their reports still have a great impact on the fans.
Their reporting is still dominated by skepticism and sarcasm.
They questioned not only Wansheng, but every player who came into the team, with Franck Francis, Osman, Baines and even 17-year-old Ziegler on their page, questioning the players who joined Derby County one by one.
These reports made Wansheng very distressed.
It doesn't matter if the reporter questions him, he doesn't care, those reports don't have a little impact on him, but when he questions his players, he is a little distressed. He is well aware of how much pressure a lot of negative press can put on a player.
Now what? Wan Sheng pondered.
He felt it was time to start a real war with these mainstream media. (To be continued!)
