No. [053] Round: The Birmingham team is very strong
Seeing the two of them coming, the man surnamed Zhong immediately stretched out his right hand to the two of them and introduced himself: "Hello Answater and Mr. Aitken, our reporter Zhong Dajun from China's "Sports Weekly", this is my assistant An Xiaoxi. ”
The long-haired shawl beauty immediately stepped forward, and also stretched out her white and tender Rouyi to the two, and introduced herself: "Hello, I am An Xiaoxi, a reporter from "Sports Weekly"! ”
Ainswater and Roy 61 Aitken saw the long-haired Oriental beauty's eyes light up, and they stepped forward to shake hands with An Xiaoxi.
Beautiful women are welcomed everywhere they go.
Roy 61 Aitken said even more enthusiastically: "Miss An, she went to work in a foreign country at such a young age, she is really young and promising. ”
An Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Hehe, Mr. Roy praised him, Xiaoxi was flattered!" ”
At this time, two other oriental men waiting outside also walked up and introduced themselves.
One of them, a somewhat bald guy in his forties, called Zhao Kang, and another handsome young man in his twenties called Zhao Ji, and the Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty was the same name, what a big guy.
The two men also reported their own homes, and they were both reporters for China's "Football News". The two also put forward their intentions and wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with Dongfang Chen.
Now Dongfang Chen is popular in China, after they sent back the news that Dongfang Chen played as a substitute in the Championship and scored a hat trick back to China, the domestic fans were very excited, and the sales of their "Football Newspaper" and the number of visits to the website were rising slowly.
Dongfang Chen's stunning watch made Chinese fans excited, and they were all very proud.
Now, "Football News" naturally hopes to take advantage of this fire to get an exclusive interview with Dongfang Chen.
Seeing that the four in front of him all showed their intentions, the assistant coach of the Birmingham team, Roy 61 Aitken, gestured to Ainswater with his eyes.
Answorth nodded his head to indicate that he knew, and then he turned to the four who had come from afar and said, "Excuse me, everyone! At this stage, neither the Birmingham team nor Dongfang Chen will accept exclusive interviews from media reporters. ”
Hearing this, the four of them were shocked and very anxious.
Zhong Dajun immediately said: "Mr. Ainswater, we are from China, we have an exclusive interview with Dongfang Chen, and our report is also sent to China, which seems to have little impact on the preparation of the Birmingham team!" ”
Answater shook his head slightly and said regretfully: "To be honest, the club hopes to cooperate with the Chinese media. However, now is not the time, and Dongfang has also refused to participate in an exclusive interview. I regret this. ”
An Xiaoxi and Zhong Dajun glanced at each other, and then An Xiaoxi stepped forward and said, "Mr. Answatert, can't you be accommodating, there is no other way?" ”
Answater shook his head helplessly and said, "It is true that I cannot be interviewed by media reporters now, but our Mr. Chairman hopes to be able to meet you." ”
Hearing this, Zhong Dajun and An Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately they didn't have no chance.
At this time, Roy 61 Aitken explained: "Because this week is going to be a double game, we are playing a lot of heavy games and training is tight, so at this time, we can't let some other things interfere with our preparation for the game. ”
Listening to Roy 61 Aitken's explanation, An Xiaoxi and Zhong Dajun were overjoyed, so to speak, the Birmingham team and Dongfang Chen have not always been unreclusable, but not now, after this week's double match is over, they will definitely have the opportunity to interview Dongfang Chen.
Zhong Dajun and An Xiaoxi relieved their hearts and followed Answater to meet Yang Jiacheng, the chairman of the Birmingham Club, and of course Zhao Kang and Zhao Ji also followed.
Roy 61 Aitken is back on the training ground and continues to train the team, and they can't let up at all.
This week, Birmingham City will have a double game of the week, and in midweek, the day after tomorrow, Birmingham City will take on Crystal Palace at their home stadium. At the weekend, Birmingham City will continue to host Sheffield Wednesday.
Crystal Palace's strength is not particularly strong, they are not in the ranks of the superb, but their strength should be able to be in the middle of the Championship, so this team Birmingham team should not be underestimated.
Sheffield Wednesday are now fifth in the league, eight points clear of Birmingham City and seven points clear of second-placed Wolves.
Therefore, Sheffield Wednesday's strength is still very strong, and the Birmingham team cannot underestimate the opponent.
Overall, this week's game is still relatively difficult for the Birmingham team, because the opponents in both hands are very strong during the week, and the Birmingham team must prepare seriously.
Because it was a double game a week, the players of the Birmingham team only had half a day of rest before they began to resume training.
Although they are now at the top of the Championship, McLeish is still very cautious because the top two teams will be promoted directly after the Championship, and then the third to sixth teams will compete in the promotion play-offs for the last place.
Wolves and Reading are only one point behind Birmingham and Reading are only six points behind Birmingham, and if Birmingham want to get a direct promotion place, they will have to go all out in every game to win any opponent.
It's a two-game week but it's Birmingham's home stadium and McLeish will certainly be hoping that Birmingham can make it two wins in a row to extend their lead.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Birmingham head coach McLeish said: "Crystal Palace are not weak, we will definitely be ready for this game, play this game seriously and get the three points we want. ”
Naturally, the media reporters asked their most important questions, and they asked: "May I ask Mr. McLeish, will Dongfang Chen be in the starting list in this game, he is in such good form, will you give him more playing time?" ”
McLeish knew in his pre-match press conference that reporters were going to ask questions like that, and now almost every time he appears in front of them, reporters ask questions like that, and he's getting tired of being asked now.
McLeish immediately said: "Dongfang Chen is a very important member of our team, he is very helpful to our team. He's also very strong and he's been in great form lately. But I have to think about the whole team, so he's still not in the starting line-up for this game, he's still on the bench. ”
Suddenly, a very beautiful oriental long-haired beauty stood up and asked: "I am An Xiaoxi, a reporter from China's "Sports Weekly", may I ask Mr. McLeish, if you do this, does Dongfang Chen have no complaints?" He's the best form striker in the team right now! ”
Macleish was not surprised by the beauty of this oriental beauty, but when he heard this beautiful woman ask such a question, Macleish's interest in appreciating the beauty suddenly disappeared.
McLeish replied with a cold face: "I believe Dongfang Chen will understand me and the team, sometimes, the sharpest killer does not have to draw the gun himself, as long as he sits on the bench, he is the biggest threat to the opponent, so it is not a bad thing for him to sit on the bench." ”
Hearing McLeish's answer, An Xiaoxi had no choice but to sit down again.
Hear Dongfang Chen in this game. will not start, the reporter of Crystal Palace is relieved, this perverted guy is lucky not to start, if this guy starts, Crystal Palace must not be beaten into a plug by him.
Dongfang Chen's previous goal efficiency was really high, he came off the bench in two games, scored a hat trick, and scored six goals in about 90 minutes, which was enough to scare many people.
Originally, the media of Crystal Palace were still afraid that Dongfang Chen would start in this game, but now listening to what McLeish said, they are much more relaxed.
Of course, they also think that McLeish is right, and even a striker like Dongfang Chen is sitting on the bench, which is enough to scare Crystal Palace. The Crystal Palace side will definitely be worried at any time, worried about when this guy will come up, and what kind of performance will he have after he comes up?
Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Crystal Palace manager Neil 61 Warnock said: "Birmingham are a very strong team and they are the favourites to get promoted to the Premier League this season. The team is against them, and we are ready for it. ”
Neil 61 Warnock added: "We are not very good at the moment for Crystal Palace and our task this season is to stay from the legion so we want to take a point in this game. ”
Neil 61 Warnock added: "Dongfang Chen is indeed a very strong player, and I feel extremely sorry that I didn't bring him to Crystal Palace in the summer. Of course, his high salary is also a big obstacle to joining Crystal Palace. ”
Now Crystal Palace's financial situation is not very good, originally at the beginning of this season Neil 61 Warnock was planning to leave Crystal Palace, but after the persuasion of Crystal Palace, he stayed, and continued to lead Crystal Palace in the Championship.
When it came to the summer transfer, in fact, Neil 61 Warnock was still more interested in Dongfang Chen, but unfortunately Dongfang Chen's super high salary and transfer fee of one million euros made Crystal Palace retreat.
Neil 61 Warnock continued: "Dongfang Chen did not start today, I feel very lucky, he has been in such good form lately, I don't think anyone wants to hit his muzzle. Of course, as Mr. McLeish said, even if Dongfang Chen is on the bench, he is full of threats. ”
Neil 61 Warnock said: "I have to think about Dongfang Chen because he has the ability to change the direction of the game. The Birmingham team were lucky to be able to bring in Dongfang Chen in the summer. I think this is Birmingham's most successful signing this summer, if not the best in the club's history. ”
At this time, Neil 61 Warnock is crazy to praise the Birmingham team and Dongfang Chen, he hopes to use these remarks to make the Birmingham team and Dongfang Chen float up, and despise their Crystal Palace team, so that their Crystal Palace opportunity will come.
When the Crystal Palace players were interviewed by the media before the game, they were all touting the Birmingham team and Dongfangchen, and it was clear that they had received instructions from manager Neil 61 Warnock to show weakness.
Crystal Palace striker Allen 61 Cole said in an interview with media reporters before the game: "Dongfang Chen's strength is very strong, he will be our biggest enemy. Of course against a strong Birmingham City side we don't have to ask too much and we hope to be able to take a point away from St Andrews. ”
