Chapter 15 The War of the Opponents and the Stooges

Wansheng's way to deal with the mainstream media in Derby County is to 'use media to build media'.````

He himself has no way to deal with the media, especially the Derbyshire Sports newspaper can almost be said to be the mouthpiece of the East Midlands. They have a very large sales and readership in the Derbyshire and Nottingham, and their reports have a great impact on fans. Even if he does not accept interviews, the Derbyshire Sports newspaper can still report on him and report the entire Derbyshire team.

So it’s not very useful to just not accept interviews. The way Wansheng thought of was to support other media to fight against mainstream media led by Derby County Sports.

For the English media, sports coverage is a very important content. In the Derby area, the only teams that can be reported are Derby County. Derby County fans like to watch reports about Derby County. If any media can always lead one step ahead and get Derby County news, they are equivalent to being one step ahead.

In addition, they have interview privileges and can interview some news that other media cannot access, such as close shooting, interview pre-match preparations, etc., which will definitely lead in reporting.

This way they can take the initiative.

Wan Sheng did not tell these media reporters in detail what to report. He believed that these reporters would understand. At the same time, they were also professional, and it was meaningless to tell them himself. It was enough for him to grasp the most important point - only then did he have the right to decide who is a friend and who has the privilege!

He believes everyone will understand.

In fact, these reporters who participated in Wansheng’s personal press conference did know what to do. They knew very well that they had obtained the privilege of interviews and reporting here at Wansheng. All they had to do was to fight against mainstream public opinion in the East Midlands led by the Derbyshire Sports News.

Even if there is no Wansheng, they will do so sooner or later.

Their relationship is a business competitor.

Commercial competition is not a battlefield, but this kind of competition is much more cruel. The battlefield may also emphasize respect for the enemy. However, commercial competition is omnipotent. As long as it can defeat the opponent, any method can be done.

So they knew what to do at the first time!

...

The mainstream media, led by Derbyshire Sports, are still criticizing Wansheng, but their content has gradually transformed into "based on facts". They question Wansheng's recruitment strategy, because the players Wansheng bought are all young people who are not over 22 years old. Even if such young people have the strength, they will be in the future rather than the present.

"He might as well promote a few new players in the Derby County Youth Team." Some media said in the report.

Then these mainstream media began to analyze the experiences of four young people. Ribery was transferred from the French Second Division Ales Club. In the eyes of Derbyshire media, what is Ales Club?

Alles is just a French Ligue 2 club, and they are League One team!

English League One is much better than Ligue 2!

This player named Frank Ribery is not the absolute main player in the Alice Club. He is not valued by the club at all, so he is sold by Alice Club.

As for Leiden Bynes and Leto Ziegler, there is nothing to say. These two young full-backs can be directly transferred to the Derby County Youth Team, and there is no practical purpose at all.

Leon Ottoman?

They just talked little about Ottoman, who was Everton after all. But a loan player had nothing to say.

In short, they were full of doubts about the four new players.

Then they immediately turned the topic to Wan Sheng, saying, "This Chinese person does not allow his players to be interviewed. Even if he is the head coach of the team, he does not have the right to do so. But he still does this. Seeing him, we can all think of the Nazis during World War II. He was the great dictator (Hitler), who practiced dictatorship in Derby County. All those who opposed him were sold (Adam Bode and others) or exiled (poor Michael Johnson), and then let the team listen to him completely."

"A head coach controls the team. What should be more important is prestige and respect from everyone, not this kind of dictatorship!"

"History proved that Hitler failed, and this Chinese was doomed to fail in Derby County!"

The last sentence of the article played the finishing touch, "Look at this poor young man..."

The illustration is accompanied by a photo of Leto Ziegler looking at Wansheng weakly.

The childish face and moist eyes were really sympathetic, just like Wan Sheng did something that was angry and resentful.

As long as people who read this report will not have a good impression of Wansheng.

This is a completely extreme person who only uses the power in his hands to maintain authority and makes everyone in the team feel scared of him. Under the leadership of such a person, it is easy to imagine what achievements Derby County will have.

The player is afraid of him and will not believe him. You can imagine what kind of performance this mentality will perform on the court.

Through this report, many people seem to see scenes where Derby's strongest opponents have achieved a mess, just like during World War II, under the pressure of war between Britain, France, the United States and the Soviet Union, Germany could only surrender no matter what it did.

Before he knew it, Wan Sheng was given the title of "Great Dictator".

...

The mainstream media in Derby County are complacent about their reporting ideas. They think such reports are enough to affect fans' sense of Wan Sheng.

This is also a revenge on that damn Chinese.

But soon they found that other remarks appeared. A small media group led by Derbyshire Life began to play against them, and at the same time posted many transfers praising Derbyshire, praising new players, and even praising Wansheng.

"Introducing young players will make Derby County full of vitality! These young people are very powerful and are all geniuses..." The illustration is accompanied by Ribery's picture of playing the ball, "This kind of technology is not something that ordinary players can do."

"The Derby County gathering date is tomorrow. Before the gathering, many players have returned to the club and they have participated in the training. It is obvious that they have taken the initiative to do so. The ability to let the players take the initiative to train also proves Wan Sheng's skill in leading the team."

"Frank Ribery and four others may be the future of Derbyshire!"

“Derbyshire’s transfer strategy is correct!”

"Wansheng cleared out those players who did not contribute to the team. This was extremely correct. These people contributed very little to the team, but they were in vain to take up the quota and get their salary!"

"These people didn't have any chance to play at the end of last season. In the ten games led by Wan Sheng last season, we achieved 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses! It can be seen that selling them will not have any impact on the team."

Next, various remarks that support Derby County and Wansheng were released.

The media led by Derbyshire Life has little influence in the East Midlands region. These people didn't even know each other before and had no intersection at all, but now they stand together in their speeches.

In the eyes of mainstream Derby County media, these competitors are not threatening at all because their influence is very small.

To use a metaphor to describe it, the mainstream media led by Derby County Sports News is a martial arts master, while the media led by Derby County Life News is just some land hooligans.

But experts are also afraid of too many people...

The media, led by Derbyshire Life, knew very well that they could not compete with their opponents alone. So they used various channels to attract a large number of tabloids to surround them. Some of these tabloids, magazines, and some were purely low advertising flyer vendors, and some even sold newspapers by issuing flyers.

This large group of low-level media gathers together and has the capital to confront each other. Their advantage is that they have a large range and many reports. A small gossip newspaper is nothing. Ten small gossip newspapers all say the same thing, which is very influential.

The Derby County Sports Daily published an influential report. They could publish ten articles to confront it, and there were all kinds of statements. The Derby County Sports Daily used the powerful Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and they used Taizu Long Fist, Ten Duan Jin, Fuhu Fist, and Five Tiger Breaking Door Knife. The evil-proof sword technique without internal strength... In short, both sides fought hard, and were half a pound.

Someone from a neutral perspective commented on this matter, "This is a war of public opinion, a war between opponents and lackeys."

Who is the opponent and who is the lackey is self-evident.

...

During the public opinion war between the outside media, the first gathering training in Derby County also began. That morning, players came to the club one by one.

Most of them just returned to the team, met and greeted each other friendly and talked about holiday activities.

The atmosphere is very harmonious.

There are also many people talking about new players. Except for Bolton Reit, Ivan Cru and others, others did not know the new players, so naturally there was no communication. However, Reit took the initiative to introduce several people to people whom they knew, which also let them know the names of several new players.

Time flies quickly during conversation.

When most players changed their training clothes from the locker room and returned to the training ground, it was almost nine o'clock. Assistant coach Diamares had arrived at the training ground, but there was still no one in Wan Sheng.

It was not until 8:55 that they saw Wansheng walking towards the office building.

Then they suddenly realized that the coach had arrived long ago.

Anyone who knows Wansheng knows that he is definitely not a person who will be late. He requires everyone to abide by the time and not be late for a minute or leave early. He will do this himself. He does it very well: he comes almost the earliest and leaves almost the latest.

Wansheng is heading towards the training ground.

He felt a little excited when he saw players on the training ground from afar. The new season was coming. Thinking of his upcoming competition and the new challenge of leading the team to upgrade, he felt his blood rise and his heart beat faster.

He was looking forward to it early!

He couldn't wait to start the new season soon, but he also knew that it would be better for the new season to come slower, so that he could make the team fully prepared to meet games, so that they would have a better chance.

Wan Sheng stood beside Diamares.

He held a whistle in his mouth and nodded to the players who greeted him one by one. While looking at the time on his watch, when it was almost 58 minutes, he blew the whistle and shouted, "Get together!"

Everyone hurried over and stood in a row in a row.

Wan Sheng did not look up.

He was still staring at his watch, and he didn't raise his head until nine o'clock on time and ordered Diamares, "Call it."

Diamares took out a form and read it one by one according to the name above.

"Ox!"

"here."

"Ian Taylor!"

"exist."

"Baker Alfred!"

"..." After clicking on the names one by one, most of the players were there, except for one person - Rich Fedinnan.

"Does anyone know why Rishi didn't come?" Wan Sheng asked.

Lee Morris said, "I saw him yesterday."

At this moment, a figure came from the direction of the locker room. It was Rich Fedinnan. It could be seen that he had been running all the way from the locker room, and he didn't even put on his clothes. He gasped and ran to Wan Sheng and said, "Sorry, sir, I'm getting up late."

Wan Sheng looked at Fei Dingnan with a smile, showing his white teeth and his expression looked very friendly. He pointed to the stadium and said slowly, "Go and run five laps first, and run around the big laps."

The big circle is a regular circle to the periphery. The big circle at the Derby County training ground is nearly 500 meters, and the five circles are only 2,500 meters. Even professional players will be a little tired after running, but Fei Dingnan did not hesitate and ran away.

The old players in Derby County have long been accustomed to it. They even looked at Fedinnan with a smile, and their eyes were like saying, "Man, you're lucky."

Ribery, Oaks and others were a little confused, but they also realized that this Chinese coach has absolute authority in the club. As the media said, he really felt like a "big dictator".

These old Derby County players didn't even question his words. The guy who was late didn't hesitate at all when he said he was going to run the lap, and he didn't even frown.

The five major circles are quite a short distance, and he is only two minutes late.

They had no time to contemplate the situation of Wansheng and Derbyshire. Then Wansheng clicked their names and introduced the four Ribery to everyone one by one.

Whenever a person is introduced, Derby County players will applaud and welcome him, but they seem very enthusiastic. After the introduction, it is the turn of the head coach to "train" stage. This is true for every team. For the first time, the head coach must say something, such as some season goals, encourage players to work harder, or promise something.

Everyone stood quietly, waiting for Wansheng to speak.

They were all thinking about what Wan Sheng would say. Many people remembered what Wan Sheng said after defeating Ipswich last season, and they all looked forward to him saying some goals. They all knew that the team's goals this season were upgraded. If they could upgrade, they would be able to compete in the Premier League next season.

Under the gaze of everyone, Wan Sheng coughed lightly, his eyes swept across everyone, his face became extremely serious, and then he spoke, "Start from today..."

As soon as the voice stopped, the voice became louder, "Everyone called me Boss (Boss)!" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
