After Derby County defeated Everton, it is close to the semi-finals of the FA Cup.↑

The next day, the FA Cup quarterfinals had ended in full swing. In the other three games, Manchester United defeated Fulham 1-0, Arsenal defeated Portsmouth 5-1, and Millwall eliminated Tranmill 2-1 in two rounds. In this way, all the FA Cup semi-finals were produced, and the final four were Manchester United, Arsenal, Derby County and Millwall.

The focus of media reports is the match between Derby County and Everton, because this game is the only game that can be called an "unpopular". In terms of strength, Everton is still very strong as a Premier League powerhouse. Derby County is only a League One team, with one league level different from the two teams. In addition, most public opinion supports Everton. Derby County is considered to be synonymous with "arrogance" and "arrogance". Especially if there are thousands of wins before the game, it has been reported and criticized in various ways. But now the opposite is that Derby County won, and it also won three goals away from home, which has made many so-called "football players" and "football commentators" fall below their glasses.

What Wan Sheng said at the post-match press conference became the title of many media reports, 'From now on, Derby County is already a strong team!' This sentence can describe Derby County's suppressive victory in the match between Derby County and Everton. They can completely say that they are a strong team.

However, regarding the game, more people are concerned about the strength shown by the entire Derby County team and the performance of various Derby County players.

The most eye-catching player among them is undoubtedly Cahill, who scored two goals.

Cahill's performance in this game can almost be said to be perfect. He performed actively throughout the game, scoring two goals, especially the last one who directly volleyed, showing extraordinary personal abilities. He is 24 years old, just the best age for a professional player. So many media reported on Cahill, and various top league clubs also expressed their attention to Cahill.

Soon there were rumors in the media that many clubs were interested in Cahill, including Middlesbrough, Everton, Aston Villa, Manchester City, and even Arsenal, who remained unbeaten in the Premier League for dozens of games. This rumor is correct and conclusive. After Arsenal defeated Portsmouth, head coach Wenger talked about the match between Derby County and Everton. He also talked about Cahill, "Love him is a very outstanding striker. I think he will be Henry's best partner..."

English football always has two focus points, one is Ferguson and the other is Wenger.

No matter what Wenger said, he can become news in the media, let alone the focus on players from other teams. Anyone knows what the Frenchman is interested in a player means. That means that the player may have a chance to play for Arsenal.

Another player who has attracted attention is Ribery.

Ribery has always performed well on the left side of Derbyshire. Although he is not as dazzling as Cahill in this game, he is also the second best player in the team. Manchester Sports' scored Ribery with 8 points. It is the same as Cahill's score, which shows that Manchester Sports' believes that Ribery's performance is also perfect.

What's even more attractive is that Ribery is two years younger than Cahill and is only 22 years old so far. Such a young and skilled French player can naturally attract a lot of attention.

In addition to Ribery, other players in Derby County who performed well have also attracted much attention. Morris, Ottoman, Bynes, Ivan Kreu, etc., each of these players has received more or less comments from some media, and also revealed news that a certain team is interested in a certain player.

It is worth mentioning that Leon Ottoman.

When playing against Everton, Ottoman started. His performance in this game was not very conspicuous, but with the head coach's eyes, it was naturally possible to see the role of Ottoman in Derby County's pressing defense. Moyes saw this. It happened that Ottoman was loaned to Derby County from Everton. Although Derby County had half the ownership, he still had to return to Everton after the loan period expired. The only problem was that the two sides reached an agreement on loan that Derby County paid Everton 1 million pounds to buy half of Ottoman's ownership. However, if Everton wants to recall Ottoman in the future, he must buy back the ownership of this half according to Ottoman's value at that time.

How much is Ottoman worth now?

Many media still have an evaluation of players who perform well in the League One. According to Ottoman's performance in Derby County this season, his value has at least doubled, from around 2 million pounds to around 4 million pounds. In other words, if Everton wants to recall Ottoman again, he must pay 2 million pounds to buy half of the ownership. In this case, David Moyes really needs to think carefully about whether to recall Ottoman. After all, 2 million pounds is definitely not a small amount of money, even for Everton, especially Ottoman's performance is not so conspicuous. Can he perform well when he returns to Everton? After he comes back, he may only be a marginal player? It requires careful consideration to buy a strong substitute of 2 million pounds, let alone buy a marginal player, which is still a bit luxurious for Everton.

......

Among the various reports, Derby County was still well received. After all, Derby County defeated Everton and they were the winners and had reason to enjoy praise.

But some of these media are embarrassed.

This refers to the "hostile" media that supported Derby County before the game. The most representative of them is the Daily Mirror. The reason why the Daily Mirror praised Derby County was that he hoped that Wan Sheng would be careless, but they failed to get the expected results. Instead, Derby County defeated Everton strongly. Other neutral media praised Derby County. How should they report on it now?

There is no doubt that...there is still a need to continue to be touted.

This is a must.

They can't say good things about Derby County before the game. Derby County won, and they become bad things about Derby County after the game. This kind of casual reporting attitude is not something that the big media should do, because it will make readers very dissatisfied, so they even vomit blood and continue to report on Derby County, and at the same time send some praise.

This is not what Brand hopes to see.

The key is that this is not the main thing. As one of the two major "tabisters" in England (Daily Mirror and The Sun), the Daily Mirror cannot just write some praise reports like those small media. Such reports are meaningless to them and are completely suspected of "making up words", so they must also report the actual content.

How do you get the actual content?

To do an interview, it is best to go directly to the Derby County Club to interview head coach Wan Sheng. No matter how bad it is, he has to interview some Derby County players. Brand will definitely not do that, because he knows that damn Chinese will definitely refuse his interview, and he has no face to stand in front of other media colleagues interviewing Derby County because he is now doing positive reports on Derby County.

So the task was handed over to Glenn.

Glenn is just an intern reporter and no one knows him. Maybe he can get something by going to the town of Great Derby County?

Brand thought so.

......

Glenn didn't expect that his new job would be to do interviews. In fact, he has always been looking forward to it after becoming an intern reporter.

The reporter naturally has to interview, and is bored in the office to watch some competitions and then write some manuscripts. This is not his ideal job. He hopes to go out like other reporters. He will conduct interviews and surveys face to face with various stars, and then conduct real reports based on the interview content.

Now he has a chance, and it is the one he has been looking forward to - interviewing Wansheng and then making positive reports based on the content.

This excited Glenn.

After receiving the new job task, he sorted out his things in the morning and went to the town of Great Derby County. London was not far from Derby County. At noon, he had already arrived at the town of Great Derby County and then rushed directly to the Derby County Club for an interview.

In Glen's imagination, he went to Derbyshire Club for an interview, that is, to Derbyshire Club and reported the name of the Daily Mirror. Then he could ask some questions face to face with Wan Sheng, and do some shooting at the club, etc., but it turned out that there was a gap between thinking and reality. Especially for reporters representing the Daily Mirror, visiting Derbyshire Club in the Greater Derbyshire Town is definitely not a good job.

Glen had to squeeze in among a group of reporters. It was not until the daily training in Derby County was over that these reporters were told that they could enter specific areas of the club for interviews, and Glen was stopped outside the club alone.

"Why don't you let me in?" Glenn was a little confused.

The loyal guard uncle looked at Glen proudly and gave him the answer, "Because you are a reporter from the Daily Mirror, the Derby County Club rejected the Daily Mirror."

The reason is that simple.

Now the Derby County Club, including all staff, have a good impression of Wan Sheng, because Wan Sheng led Derby County to achieve unexpected results. The team has good results, and the club will operate well. These staff members have also received more bonuses. Of course, this has something to do with Wan Sheng. Uncle Guard is also one of them. He will naturally faithfully implement Wan Sheng's request - rejecting those hostile media and journalists.

Glenn represents the Daily Mirror, undoubtedly among the Derbyshire Club rejections.

Seeing his peers entering the club for interviews and being stopped outside, Glenn felt a little embarrassed and annoyed. He kept explaining that he was here to do a positive interview, but the guard ignored him.

In the end, Glenn had to leave with regret.

After standing in front of the Derby County Club Department for an afternoon, and then being told that he could not enter the club, Glenn was in a state of conceivable mood, but he was more worried about work problems. He called him with some anxiety and told Brand the news, but unexpectedly, Brand did not blame him.

"It's okay, Glenn, you're working there. The newspaper will help you reimburse your food and accommodation expenses. You must be prepared for continuous interviews, but I hope you can gain something, which is also a test of your ability to interview externally..."

Brand said so.

Glenn didn't understand that Brand was so easy to talk to. He thought he had messed up, but it was really good to do this. Although he couldn't get into the Derby County Club, he had been in the Greater Derby County Town and would definitely have the opportunity to do an interview.

But in fact, Brand never thought that Glenn would be able to successfully interview on the first day.
Chapter completed!
