Chapter 267: Expedition to England
When the plane lands in London, Cologne will immediately rush to Newcastle.
When he arrived in the UK, Stevens received many requests for interviews, including from The Sun.
The Sun, the UK's most unruly but also one of the most influential outlets, gave Stevens a headache and seemed to have little reason to turn them down.
"The Sun" specified that it was required to interview Tang Zhenglong, this ...... Are you kidding.
It would be impossible to throw Tang Zhenglong to The Sun, but The Sun is not a vegetarian either, and reporter Steve said that if Cologne disagrees, then he will ask more tricky questions during the pre-match press conference.
In the end, Cologne agreed to Steve's request for an interview, but the time was limited, only 15 minutes, and the location could only be at the hotel where Cologne was staying, which Steve accepted in its entirety.
*****
For Tang Zhenglong and "The Sun", the festival is a very strange thing, I have heard of it, but I have never cared about it.
But this is the first time that The Sun has interviewed Tang Zhenglong.
"Don, welcome to England."
"You've probably heard of The Sun."
"Of course."
"And what was your first impression of The Sun?"
Tang Zhenglong thought for a while, "The women in the newspaper wear very little. ”
Burst.
"That's for sales, and the British don't like to see too many clothes."
"Huh."
In fact, Britain and Germany are different in terms of newspaper scale, and many things of the Sun would not be possible in Germany.
"As a Chinese, do you not know much about the grievances between English and German football?"
To tell the truth, Tang Zhenglong really doesn't care much, just like a Chinese can hardly really understand the gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid.
"I know, but I don't quite understand it, after all, I'm not German."
"Well, change the subject."
"Do you know this person?"
The man in the picture is Newcastle's greatest goalscorer in history – Alan Shearer.
But Tang Zhenglong really doesn't know him.
"I seem to know, but I can't name it."
"He's Alan Shearer."
Steve introduced some of Alan Shearer's background.
Tang Zhenglong pretended to nod.
'I'm looking forward to meeting Mr. Alain on the pitch.'
Sweat.
"Don, he's retired."
……
'Well, I rarely watch the Premier League.
"Why?"
"Because I don't think the Premier League has any technical content, it's not good-looking."
Steve was dumbfounded for a second, "The Premier League is not technical? ”
"Don, you can say that the style of the Premier League is different from other leagues, but the Premier League has no technical content?"
"It's home to some of the best players in the world."
Tang Zhenglong nodded, "I know, but I tend to fall asleep watching Premier League games, and the ball always comes back and forth, like a single pendulum." ”
"I'm not saying the Premier League is bad, it's just that I basically fall asleep nine times out of 10 times in the Premier League." Tang Zhenglong scratched his head after speaking.
Steve has worked at The Sun for so many years, and he thinks that his face is already very thick, but he is very Tang Zhenglong, and he is really Too young, too simple.
"Don, that means you won't play in the Premier League even if you have the chance?"
'I didn't say that, if Manchester United had invited me, I would have considered it.'
Manchester United?
Inviting you?
Why don't you take off?
"Don, you're really too humorous, what else do you have to say about the Premier League? Or you can say it all in one go. ”
"Is that okay? Wouldn't it be too direct? ”
"No, it won't."
"I think the Premier League's labour certification system is too cumbersome and has to be changed."
"Also, there is no winter break in the Premier League, we are players, not coolies, and Christmas is not for us."
"I will never join the Premier League until the Premier League has a winter break."
"Also, the team doctor in the Premier League is terrible, there are so many misdiagnoses, this can't be compared with the level of medical care in Germany."
"Also, the referees in the Premier League are terrible, the scale is so wide, this is a football stadium, not a rugby stadium, and if Cech plays in the Bundesliga, he will definitely not encounter such a thing."
"And ......"
"Stop."
Steve looked at his watch, "Don, it's time, I've got to go." ”
"Don't, I'm not done yet, five more minutes, I can talk to the coach."
Steve smiled: "No, I think it's better to follow the rules." ”
Tang Zhenglong wondered, didn't he say that "The Sun" was the most unruly? It's weird!!
Steve breathed a sigh of relief after leaving, Cologne only gave him 15 minutes, originally he was quite unhappy, now think about it, fortunately Cologne only gave 15 minutes, otherwise it would be miserable, this guy is too good to say.
You can say, why don't you go and become a lawyer!!
After Steve left, Stevens called Tang Zhenglong over, "You didn't talk nonsense, did you?" ”
"Nope."
"You didn't off reporters, did you?"
"Of course not, he liked me very much, and when he left, he complained that 15 minutes was too short."
"Fifteen minutes is enough."
Tang Zhenglong pouted, disapproving.
*****
On the streets of Newcastle, a fan took out a 35p and took a copy of The Sun from the newsstand, opened the sports edition, and the midweek UEFA Cup game was the game, and he wanted to see the latest news, such as the availability of his team's leading goalscorers Martins and Duff.
It's also about what tactics the manager will use and what the opponent is doing.
Looking down, this old brother saw an interview with Cologne's main scorer Tang Zhenglong.
"The main shooter? That's probably a bit capable. ”
Continue to watch, it was okay at first, introducing Tang Zhenglong's goals this season and last season, as well as the goals in the League Cup.
"Not bad."
Looking at it, this old brother's face became more and more ugly, white at first, and then turned red.
"You put p."
"Watching the Premier League will fall asleep? Then you must have something wrong with your brain, I watch the Premier League with a lot of enthusiasm. ”
"What? You don't come without a winter break? What are you? You don't even want to come to the team. ”
"Poor health care in the UK?"
"What? The only team that could join is Manchester United, and the rest are not considered? ”
"If you don't watch it, if you don't watch it, you'll be so angry that you can't sleep."
*****
Rupert Murdoch, the boss of The Sun, has to report any abnormal situation in the company, after all, the media is about word of mouth.
Today, Murdoch was debriefed by his subordinates, and the public relations department of The Sun received a large number of calls from the public.
"What's going on?"
"I'm here to apologize."
"Apologize?"
Murdoch was stunned, "What apologies?" ”
"They said that they used to think that "The Sun" was the most shameless in the world, but now they feel that they are wrong, and it turns out that the most shameless person in the world is Tang Zhenglong."
"Tang Zhenglong? Who is Tang Zhenglong? ”
