Chapter fifty-seven tore the skin
The stands at the City Square Stadium, a VIP private room, two middle-aged people are standing at the window and looking towards the stadium.*,,
The game was over and the players of the two teams were leaving the court. The Derby County players greeted each other happily and walked out of the field. The victory of the game made everyone smile on their faces; the expressions of the Nottingham Forest players were a little numb, and it was obvious that they were very dissatisfied with the loss of the game and were also very dissatisfied with the result.
But these two middle-aged people are looking at the two coaches who are about to enter the mixed zone.
If there is a reporter here, you can recognize them at a glance. These two are Derby County Chairman Ji Smith and General Manager Paul Wilcox.
"Two to zero, I did it so beautifully!" Ji-Smith sighed.
He felt quite emotional.
Just half a month ago, he was hesitating whether it was right to choose Wan Sheng to become the head coach, but unexpectedly, Wan Sheng could lead the team to win two consecutive victories, and the previous game meant that he had already led the team to win three consecutive victories.
Three consecutive victories!
How long has it been since Derby County won three consecutive games?
Ji Smith can't remember it. He only knows that the team's performance has been declining in the past few seasons. He is under great pressure as the club chairman. Sometimes he wonders if he is not suitable to run a club. Fortunately, Wilcox has always encouraged him.
The two are friends and have been running the Derbyshire Club together for many years.
Wilcox was standing beside him, with a smile on his face, "I just said he could do it!" he said, "This game has been won, and the team's relegation has been easier. I don't think you have to worry about losing the club in the summer."
Ji-Smith also smiled, but said, "It would be great if he could play more proactively."
"Your requirements are too high." Wilcox shook his head, "It's too difficult to win but play beautifully. The most important thing is that we won, and I think this is the most important thing."
"Maybe. I don't know how this young man did it. I was worried all the game, but in the end I won the ball and won two more goals!"
Recalling the whole game, Ji Smith felt a little moved.
Compared to Wilcox, Ji Smith is a businessman. He doesn't know much about football. Whether it is managing the team or running a club, he has to rely on Wilcox, but the club belongs to him.
"I hope he can continue to win, maybe we should consider the work in the summer," Ji-Smith narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about it suddenly, "What do you think of the new young man?"
"That tall man?"
"Yes."
Wilcox thought about it and said, "If he had another season, he might have done better."
“What level?”
"At least you can become a well-known central defender in the League One." Wilcox said.
"Where is Reit?"
"He's a genius, I can be sure."
"Two young men..." Ji-Smith thought, "In another season, they will definitely be better. It seems that this Chinese has a good vision."
...
The post-match press conference has begun.
Wan Sheng did not go back to the locker room, so he came to the venue with Hart. They walked in while talking, like two familiar friends, but in fact, they were still opponents just now, fighting wits and courage in the game.
The two sat separately on both sides of the rostrum.
The venue was large, with dozens of reporters. The two teams asked separate questions. There were more reporters sitting on the side of Wansheng. Obviously, the reporters were more interested in Derby County, not only because Derby County was the winner, but also because of Wansheng, and Alfred and Rett, who performed well in the game.
The reporters were a little dissatisfied with Wan Sheng not bringing players to attend the press conference together.
Many reporters hope to interview Alfred and Rett.
Fortunately, Reit scored goals in the first two games, and it took half a year to join the first team. Many reporters knew him well, while Alfred was purely a newcomer, and even the local media in Derby County didn't know much about him.
They hope to get more news about Alfred.
It’s a pity that Wan Sheng doesn’t want to talk about Alfred at all. He doesn’t want these reporters to influence his players, especially young people like Alfred, who performed well after just one appearance.
"He performed well." Wan Sheng had only one answer to Alfred's question.
"Rett? He is very good." Wan Sheng didn't want to say anything more about Rett.
Seeing that the reporters in the audience were still obsessed with similar questions, Wan Sheng simply said directly, "I only answer questions related to the game." He smiled and started the interview with one sentence, "Look! We won! Those who said we must have failed don't know what they are thinking now, but I said before the game that we were here to get three points."
Those Nottingham Forest reporters who questioned Wan Sheng before the game were quite angry when they heard this.
"The villain succeeds!" Many people said.
I guess more people think so, but they don’t say it out loud. However, Wan Sheng didn’t care at all. He remembered what these reporters said before, and those words sounded very unhappy. After saying this, Wan Sheng felt much more comfortable.
Wan Sheng responded calmly in the next interview.
Compared to when he first took over the team, his performance was much more natural, and he was in a good mood to win the game, so he patiently answered reporters' questions.
But there are always some people who take the initiative to cause trouble.
"You have won the first two games you coached, plus the previous game, Derby County won three consecutive games. Do you think it's related to luck?"
"Derby County has been defending the whole game. Do you support utilitarian football?"
"When do you think the team's luck will last?"
When Wan Sheng heard these 'strange and strange' questions, his face turned a little dark. He was too lazy to talk nonsense to these people, so he just said one sentence, "I refuse to answer. Next."
Fortunately, there are many ‘normal journalists’.
This time, Wan Sheng did not go to look at the notebook. Even when facing the reporters who seemed to have records in the notebook, he answered directly, and did not say anything like "We have grudges." Now he is in a good mood, so he doesn't care much about the little grudges.
But there is one person who is the exception.
Brookson.
I don't know if it's a nerve or something, Brookson also stood up and asked, "According to Nico Herzger himself, he was not injured and in good condition. Although Alfred performed well, he was not as good as Herzger. Why did you choose Alfred? Herzger couldn't even enter the big list? Many people say it's because you have a better personal relationship with Alfred. Can you talk about this?"
Brookson made full preparations for this question.
When he saw many reporters asking questions and the Chinese coach would answer, he was ready to speak, because he saw the two colleagues who asked just now, who were both people who had a grudge against Wansheng like him. Now that he asked questions, Wansheng would also answer?
But Wansheng just stared at him.
After a few seconds, just as everyone else was puzzled, Wansheng spoke, "Mr. Brookson, I will reiterate that I refuse to answer any questions from you and the Derbyshire Sports newspaper you represent!"
He really didn't want to talk nonsense with Brookson anymore.
This guy is really deadly. He has said it several times, but Brookson stood up and asked questions again and again, and the questions he asked were always so sarcastic.
Brookson immediately became angry.
Even if Wan Sheng said the last sentence, 'I refuse to answer', he would not be so angry, because many other people also received the same answer, but his angry party pointed out that he would not accept the interview. He pointed at Wan Sheng and said angrily, "I am a reporter from Derby County Sports. You should not refuse the interview from Derby County Sports. You do not have this right!"
Wan Sheng smiled disdainfully.
Many of these colleagues looked at Brookson and felt extremely embarrassed, "I have the right to ask questions, you must answer because I represent the Derbyshire Sports News! It is a cooperative media for the Derbyshire Club!"
Wan Sheng shrugged, "So what?"
He stood up, waved his hand, and walked outside the venue. Just when the reporters were a little confused, Wan Sheng stopped in front of the door and left a sentence, "Because he annoyed me, you also lost the opportunity to interview."
The reporters at the venue were all stunned, and many people looked at Brookson.
Brookson seemed to have no feeling at all, just staring at Wan Sheng and slowly walked away, and lost his figure at the corner. Brooklyn sarcastically said in anger, "What's the point of being arrogant if you win a game! What's so great about him!"
But others were somewhat dissatisfied with Brookson.
It is not easy to interview this Chinese coach. Except for the formal press conference, they cannot interview Wansheng at other times. It is too difficult to find such an opportunity.
After finally waiting for the opportunity, Brookson was disturbed.
Now that the Chinese coach has left, they naturally attributed the problem to Brookson. Even if no one has raised it for a while, that look also told Brookson that he has become the target of public criticism.
On the rostrum of the venue.
Nottingham Forest coach Hart looked at him with a smile and couldn't help but sigh, "What a guy with personality." He recalled the expression when Wan Sheng was rejected for an interview in Nottingham Forest half a year ago, he shrugged and looked indifferent, as if he had not obtained the position, which was the loss of Nottingham Forest.
At that time, Hart was a little confused and thought that this young man was too proud.
But after this game and the scene just now, he believed in his judgment - this young man is indeed very proud, but equally, he is also very capable.
Chapter completed!
