Chapter 373 International Student Reporter
When media reporters from various countries came to Mirwall to interview Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang became really popular. The popularity was not the cliché coaching, but the language ability.
The media reporters who came to interview were not limited to the United Kingdom, but also included Italy, Spain, Germany, France and other countries. Of course, Chinese media are indispensable.
At this time, the media were surprised to find that no matter which country the reporter interviewed, Zhang Yang did not need to translate, and directly accepted the interview in the other party's language. He also spoke very fluently, so he could directly talk to all the reporters who came to interview.
This is too amazing!
Mirvoor's achievements and Zhang Yang's success in leading the team have been forgotten by many media. European media began to constantly report Zhang Yang's language skills. Spanish "Marca" and Italian "Milan Sports" used 'language genius' to describe Zhang Yang at the same time. "He is a real language genius. It is understood that he is proficient in at least seven languages, including Chinese, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese, and each language is very fluent."
“Even if he doesn’t work as a football coach, it’s enough to find a job in translation.”
Next, the British BBC TV station despised media from various countries and believed that they released outdated news. "When Zhang was intern at the BBC, he was a genius in language. His main job was news translation. Unfortunately, when the BBC wanted to promote him, he chose to leave and become a football coach."
Therefore, more media praised Zhang Yang, believing that his success is inseparable from his genius mind.
"There is a reason why Zhang Yang led Mirwall to succeed. He has a genius brain and is proficient in more than seven languages. This at least shows that his IQ is enough to crush most people!"
"The head coach is a position that requires IQ. Maybe we have found the reason why Zhang Yang succeeds!"
———
The media thought that they had found the reason for Zhang Yang's success, but it was just one-sided remarks. The only result was to let fans know that Zhang Yang was a genius of language. Zhang Yang was even more famous, and more reporters came to interview Zhang Yang.
In front of the main gate of Millwall Club, there has been a group of reporters on site for a long time. They all want to interview Zhang Yang. Even if they can't interview Zhang Yang, they will occasionally gain something, such as interviewing players entering and leaving the door, club officials, etc.
Many media want to interview Zhang Yang’s first-hand information.
That is the most valuable.
However, most of them were unable to achieve their goals because Zhang Yang received very few interviews, especially when he was on holidays and had no matter what the competition was concerned about, Zhang Yang accepted even fewer interviews.
Perhaps only some major Chinese media are exceptional.
Whenever an interview team from a major Chinese media arrives, Zhang Yang will take a look and will accept interviews most of the time, so other media will not have this treatment.
This is actually normal.
Anyone will like to accept interviews from their own media, and the same is true for other coaches and players. The arrival of their own media always makes them feel a little intimate. To talk about ordinary media, there are too many reporters coming, and it is impossible to take care of them all.
This is Millwall's holiday.
Many players participated in national team competitions, and the team's lineup was not in order, so they simply took two days off.
Zhang Yang is still in the club normally.
Players' holidays do not mean that the coaches are on vacation. The members of the coaching staff still work normally. Zhang Yang formulated a work plan to improve some tactical issues during the two-day holiday.
There are still more than a dozen reporters in front of Millwall, most of them are reporters who have "long-term squatting". The working class of journalists like this is roughly between paparazzi and regular reporters. They help their respective media representatives to squatting and be ready to interview first-hand information when major events occur.
On weekdays, if you have the chance, you will have an interview, and if you don’t have the chance, you will stay in front of the door and chat together.
More than a dozen people are very familiar with each other.
There was a special reporter with a face from East Asia. The people next to him were surprised. After a little communication, he realized that he was a Chinese man named Ruan Hailong and an intern reporter for London Sports News.
"I'm here to interview Zhang Yang."
Ruan Hailong talked about his purpose.
An old senior immediately laughed, "Interview with Zhang Yang? Haha... we all want to interview Zhang Yang, but who didn't. If you represent the Chinese media, maybe there is still a chance, "London Sports News"? Don't you know that "London Sports News" was banned by Millwall Club? Even if the club opens the interview, you are not qualified to enter!"
Ruan Hailong was stunned.
It was the first time he heard about this. When he thought about his experience, he felt a sudden realization.
Ruan Hailong is a very difficult "sea turtle". His studies are not very good, and his English level is still qualified. His family is of medium condition. In order to give him a good future, his parents spent many years of savings to support him in studying in the UK and attend a mid-range university in the UK.
Mid-end universities in the UK are schools that are slightly better than community universities.
Many mid-range universities have names, and there are several in London, such as the London School of International Business and Trade and the London School of Public Transport. Their level is at most equivalent to that of domestic second-tier universities. There must be some teaching quality, but the gap with top universities is too big.
In his first year in the UK, Ruan Hailong dreamed of going to college, returning to China to be a turtle, and finding a high-paying white-collar job in a large company, but just one year later, he almost knew he had been "deceived".
There are too many international students in the mid-range colleges and universities that Ruan Hailong attends.
The main income of this college is also contributed by international students. Many courses are specially offered for international students. He has more than a dozen Chinese students, basically all of whom are either rich or noble. When he comes to school, he just gets a foreign diploma and has no intention of continuing to develop. If Ruan Hailong had not worked hard enough, he would not even say that English was fluent.
After graduating from university, returning to China will definitely not be recognized.
Ruan Hailong knew this. After graduating from college, he did not plan to return to China. Instead, he planned to make a fortune and return to China in a grand manner after he made a career. Otherwise, he would be shameless to see his parents who had contributed to him.
The first thing Ruan Hailong faced was living expenses and visa issues.
After graduating from college, he will definitely not be able to rely on his parents. His previous income from working part-time and half-study work is difficult to support him in continuing his life. He cannot get a visa even if he works odd jobs. He must find a stable job.
Later, Ruan Hailong realized how difficult it is for Chinese people from ‘ordinary colleges and universities’ to find a job in the UK.
The UK says it is an open country, and the problem of racial discrimination has always existed. Chinese people are still discriminated against. If it is a normal occasion, it will not be shown if there is discrimination. However, if you apply for a job, the company will definitely choose British people. No matter how bad it is, people from EU countries, and even Africans have an advantage over Chinese people.
In addition, there is another consideration that the UK's tax system is aimed at foreigners, and non-EU employees have to pay higher taxes.
If it were graduates from prestigious universities such as Cambridge and Oxford, it would definitely not be so complicated. Many companies would rush to hire them, and non-EU graduates from mid-range colleges would not have any competitiveness.
Ruan Hailong worked hard for a long time until his visa was about to expire, and he found a job - an interview reporter from London Sports News.
His internship period was three months.
The internship period is unstable, and the visa extension obtained by Ruan Hailong is only at the end of the internship period.
If the internship period ends normally and gets the formal position of interviewing journalists, he can obtain a work visa and continue to work in the UK; otherwise, he will be required to leave the UK within three days.
It is conceivable how much pressure Ruan Hailong is under. He is very eager to perform well and hopes that he can be officially hired. The first task given by his boss is to interview Zhang Yang.
A face-to-face interview!
Ruan Hailong was just an intern reporter. He never expected that his first job would be an interview with the "big guy". He thought the company valued him so much, so he made a lot of preparations before coming.
Now he finally knows the reason!
London Sports News hired him not because of his ability, but because he was a Chinese.
"London Sports News" was banned by the Millwall Club, so he wanted to find a Chinese to be an interview reporter, so he got an internship opportunity. If he could not complete the interview work, his internship period would end early, and he would face the embarrassing situation of being deported after his visa expired.
———
"Old seniors" gave Ruan Hailong a lot of tips, which was almost the same as 'You have no chance than us, and it is impossible to interview Zhang Yang'. Ruan Hailong tried to communicate with the doorman. When he heard that he was a reporter from "London Sports News", he was immediately rejected, and his attitude of rejection was very bad.
Ruan Hailong went to contact the staff entering and leaving the club without believing in evil. When they heard about the reporter from London Sports News, they turned around and left without hesitation.
An elderly staff member was a little more motivated and reminded him, "Don't waste time here. London Sports News is a media that was rejected by Zhang Yang."
Ruan Hailong did not give up.
The time given to him by "London Sports News" is not indefinitely. His boss only gave him three days. If he could not complete the interview work in three days, his internship period would end early.
Ruan Hailong stayed there for two days and two nights.
When I was hungry, I went to the nearby shop, with nearly two pieces of bread and mineral water. I slept directly on the bottom of the wall at night. A policeman passed by and thought he was a homeless man and asked.
Two days later, Ruan Hailong really became a homeless man.
Millwall was conducting a gathering training that day. In the morning, Ruan Hailong saw Zhang Yang driving into the club. Before he could get forward, the car had already driven in.
He was a little desperate.
This is the last day.
If Zhang Yang is not interviewed, his internship period will end early and he will face the danger of expiration of his visa. Whenever he thinks of taking him back with failure, Ruan Hailong becomes very unwilling.
