32. The boring launch
"The Sun" is a famous British gossip tabloid. It is very good at digging up the stories behind celebrities. It is not easy to dig up Wen Sheng's roots.
Of course, The Sun is also unpopular with major clubs. They once fabricated stories about the Hillsborough tragedy, which aroused strong dissatisfaction from Liverpool and has been banned ever since.
However, "The Sun" can still participate in the press conferences of other teams if it wants to.
Wen Sheng didn't expect that the boss he carefully selected would be the lousy "Sun" newspaper.
The question is very acute, Wen Sheng felt nmp in his heart.
The smile on his face gradually solidified, "Journalist, I think your remarks are suspected of racial discrimination!"
In the flash of calcium carbide, Wen Sheng reacted quickly and directly pointed the issue to racial discrimination.
Speroni's dark tree thumb, yes! That's how to deal with it.
"I don't mean to discriminate against you!" Fisher replied innocently, with an indifferent expression on his face.
"It's not up to you to decide whether it's racial discrimination or not!" Wen Sheng snorted coldly.
"We will truthfully report your behavior today to your media!" the press officer said in a timely manner. We want to complain.
From just one sentence, saying that Fisher is suspected of racial discrimination, there may be insufficient evidence. Fisher can say that I am not racist, but that I am only discriminating against coaches of descendants from China, a football desert. This is bound to be a confusing account.
But Wen Sheng's purpose is to give everyone a warning, it doesn't matter, everyone else has to think about how to ask questions anyway.
The first question went nowhere, and the reporter who asked the second question changed his strategy. Instead of talking about bloodline and other nonsense, he said that Wen Sheng was too young and had no previous experience of coaching a professional team.
"Every coach has his first time, and I'm having my first time now! It's just that my first time was at Crystal Palace, and my first time was only 25 years old! Then it attracted everyone's attention.
, I understand that this is normal! But now that a game has not been played, you have raised questions. I think this is inappropriate. Let’s wait and see whether it will work!”
Next, some people still questioned Wen Sheng's ability.
"I have answered this similar question above. I will not repeat it again. Let's wait and see!"
In fact, the reporters knew that it was impossible to dismiss Wen Sheng because of their questioning, but they still asked similar questions. It was just digging a hole, asking Wen Sheng to make some bold words, and then they could laugh at him if they didn't realize it.
Little did he know that Wen Sheng had always said we would wait and see, wait and see!
They had no choice but to ask Speroni instead, even if they wanted to die.
"The team situation is very good and Daniel is a good choice! He has been working with us for a long time, we all know his ability and we all support him! He will be an excellent coach!"
Of course Speroni wanted to praise Wen Sheng.
"Mr. Wen, what do you think of your next opponent Barnsley? They have been unbeaten in six league games. How do you plan to deal with such a strong opponent in tomorrow's game?" The press conference lasted half an hour.
won, and then finally some reporters gave up and began to care about tomorrow’s football game.
In fact, Barnsley's level is limited, and its own strength is worse than that of the original Crystal Palace, but as the reporter said, the recent form has been very good. They have not tasted defeat since the end of October, and they were tied in the last round of the league.
defeated Newcastle at the top of the league, ending Newcastle's seven-game winning streak.
Such a team is a considerable test for Crystal Palace, which is suffering from internal and external problems.
"I have to admit that they are indeed a very strong team and will bring us a great test! But I have great confidence in our offense!" Wen Sheng said about offense deliberately.
"Wen, you mean you will insist on attacking!" the reporter asked.
"No, we will safeguard the honor of Selhurst Park and we will give fans confidence!" Wen Sheng said vaguely.
This is a suspicious strategy, mainly used on Barnsley head coach Mark Robins.
Afterwards, the reporters continued to talk, but Wen Sheng responded appropriately and completely remembered Speroni's teachings, giving the reporters an ethereal feeling.
Coming from the Internet age, no one knows the destructive power of public opinion better than Wen Sheng. If his grades are good, he will definitely show off his character and pretend to be a master in front of reporters. But when everything is zero, according to Speroni
As said, it is best to be low-key and silent. Don't dig too big a hole for yourself.
Some holes cannot be filled. Media criticism and malicious hype will plant a seed in the hearts of fans and even trustees. This seed will sprout and overturn Wen Sheng's position as head coach.
The reporters came excitedly but left disappointed, just as boring as the press conference two days ago.
"Julian, did I do a good job?!" The press conference ended, Wen Sheng and Speroni walked side by side.
"Great! Those reporters are probably going to be pissed off! They came because they liked your stunt, so they probably left in despair! But I guess they can also make up stories!" Speroni patted Wen Sheng.
smiled over his shoulder.
"I don't care! The most important thing is the team's performance! If the results are good, no matter how many stories they make up, it's all in vain! I won't take those stories to heart!" Wen Sheng said he didn't care, but in fact he was still very worried.
Eager to prove oneself, what a great feeling it would be if the media were touting it.
However, he made up his mind not to look at outside public opinion to avoid being psychologically affected.
As usual, we work overtime in the evening. The team's work is not for a game against Barnsley, but for the entire league, so now Wen Sheng and his coaching staff will have a lot of work.
When Wen Sheng and the coaching staff were thinking about targeted tactical design, his grandfather Charlie called and told Wen Sheng that a reporter came to interview him and whether he should politely refuse.
"Grandpa, do you know that the Chinese have a word?! Praise! Now I have become a piece of news, and everyone is digging behind me, but being famous is not a big deal for me at this stage.
It’s a good thing, the higher they praise me, if I fall down one day if I’m not careful, they will step on me hard!”
How could Charlie not understand this truth? This was also the reason why he was asked to ask about his grandson when he was interviewed.
"You are right, then I will reject them! I will tell your uncle and the others not to accept interviews from reporters!" Charlie was very concerned about Wen Sheng's career future.
It is said that Wen Sheng took the position of the head coach of Crystal Palace. Charlie's old friends called and asked if he was his Chinese grandson. Back then, Charlie's daughter married a Chinese, which still attracted a lot of attention. Many of them were
Charlie, an old supporter of Crystal Palace, was very proud in front of everyone.
"Thank you, Grandpa! Actually, it's not impossible to accept the interview, I just think it's not appropriate at this stage!"
"Well, I get it! Do your best! I heard from Wayne about your situation, maybe you won't be disbanded at all! I believe you will become the official head coach one day!"
"I will! See you on the court tomorrow!"
"Okay, see you there or see you!" Charlie also said naughtily.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Sheng walked back to the office and complained: "These reporters are so pervasive now that they actually found my grandparents!"
"Hey, it would be a good idea if I didn't find your dog to dig up your background!" Lawrence sneered. The paparazzi business in England is very prosperous and they are all-pervasive.
"But it's better to let your family members speak cautiously at this stage!" Deli gave advice. He is not a top star and it is difficult to get special attention from the media, but he also knows how powerful the media is.
"Don't worry, I will handle it carefully! The most important thing now is the team's performance, I won't care about anything else!" Wen Sheng nodded, and everyone returned to work.
Chapter completed!
