454 Media Darling
The harmony and joy of the press conference will never last less than thirty seconds. There are always reporters who can't wait to break the situation and try to create explosive points-
Otherwise, it would be a fan meeting, not a press conference.
The same is true now.
"So, Manning, Favre, Rogers, what do you think of these three quarterbacks?"
This is an extremely difficult problem, especially Brett-Fafer.
During this offseason, Favre's series of operations hurt the hearts of Green Bay Packers fans, and the whole city was filled with a mixed emotions of anger and sadness:
On the one hand, they did hate Fafer's repeated and betrayal of rebellion, disrupting the team's preparation plan; and they also tried to transfer to the Minnesota Vikings in the same area, which was even more disgusting.
On the other hand, no one can deny Favre's greatness and excellence. He left countless glory and legends in the Green Bay Packers, and the players and the team made each other successful and left countless beautiful memories.
Positive and negative emotions are intertwined, and it is hard to describe them in one word, so "Fafu" has become a taboo topic, and fans are unwilling to mention it too much, otherwise, even curses and complaints seem to be betraying themselves and memories.
Since Lu Yiqi took office, Favre has been a particularly sensitive topic, and the news media has never mentioned it-
It’s not because I’m afraid of angering Lu Yiqi or offending Thompson, but because Lu Yiqi is not worth enough.
As a rookie coach, his views and remarks on Favre are insignificant and do not deserve attention. Even today, Lu Yiqi's words are still too light, but they just mentioned Big Manning, so a reporter took a snake and raised it on the ground with a stick.
In fact, although the question is difficult, the official answer template also exists objectively and is a little boring, but it can ensure that the answer will not be hit by the thunder.
Lu Yiqi was not surprised by the emergence of such a problem, even later than expected. "The three quarterbacks are undoubtedly excellent players, and their excellence does not require my evaluation or appreciation; but I do not think that the past, present and future need to be placed together to discuss and compare."
He!
The reporters at the scene immediately became turbulent, and they all flocked to them like sharks smelling blood.
"You mean, who is the past? What does this statement mean?"
There was no need for Rus to ask questions at all, and the other reporters could no longer hold back, and their radiant eyes immediately surrounded Lu Yiqi - this was definitely a burst point.
Lu Yiqi chuckled, "Ha, I'm just talking about the peak period of the quarterback career. Undoubtedly, around thirty years old should be at its peak. Going forward will look a little younger and need to accumulate more experience; going backwards will become more experienced, but you need to face more challenges brought by youth and body."
cunning!
A change of concept changes the focus, but how could the reporters let it go easily?
Lass then asked, "So, what do you mean is that Favre is already in the past? Should he retire?"
"Thanks to the reporter for giving me the opportunity to explain, rather than interpreting it myself, otherwise I wouldn't imagine how thrilling the title of the front page headline tomorrow."
In the tense confrontation between you and me, Lu Yiqi still had time to make jokes, and the reporters on the scene were also amused and crying.
"Faver used to be the Green Bay Packers, but now he belongs to the New York Jets. His performance and condition should be judged by New York fans. The Green Bay Packers' present and future belong to Rodgers, and I believe this young quarterback can lead the team to a bright future."
He still cleverly changed the concept, but Lu Yiqi's answer was impeccable. If the reporters wanted to continue attacking, they could only take it out of context.
treacherous!
The reporter on the scene still wanted to struggle, "So, Manning and Rogers, what do you think?"
"I respect Manning, but I believe in Rodgers. I think they are players at the same level and it is an honor to have our own cornerstone quarterback. In today's game, Rodgers proved himself that he has the ability to defeat any opponent, and my task is to realize the potential of the team and move towards victory."
Lu Yiqi's answer really makes the reporters feel powerless, not just the content of the words, but the most important thing is tone, tone and expression. It can resolve the attack power of the question without moving, and make full use of the reporter to achieve his goal-
It can be imagined that after today's press conference, Rogers' confidence will rise to a higher level, and the beliefs of Green Bay fans will be firmly united.
Looking at the annoyed and depressed expressions of her colleagues, Valerie felt a sense of pleasure: she used to be defeated by herself, but now everyone is defeated by one. Moreover, she can watch and witness all this with her own eyes, which is really interesting, but she enjoys it a little.
But Valerie still did not forget her mission.
"Coach Archie, after winning this game, do you think the Green Bay Packers are back on track? Has the positioning of this season changed?"
"No, of course not." Lu Yiqi said firmly, "The Green Bay Packers' goal has always been to enter the playoffs and has not changed since the beginning of the season. We have been working towards this goal. Winning this difficult victory is very worthy of celebration and cheering, but after today, we must return to the starting point and continue to prepare for the next game."
"The team's record is only three wins and four losses. Are you sure the playoffs are still the goal?" Russ was a little angry.
"Of course." Lu Yiqi's answer was not hesitant at all, and even the explanation was owed. He hit back like a wall.
Russ couldn't help but choke.
Other reporters at the scene couldn't help but start rubbing their hands: Lu Yiqi is really so popular.
Young and under thirty years old are definitely juniors in the league, which may be a challenge for the team; but for the media, it is an opportunity.
The wisdom, sharpness, calmness, decentness and humor shown by Lu Yiqi at the press conference completely overturned people's fixed impression of the head coaches of the 32 teams in the league. It emerged like a beautiful landscape, and every word and action can create countless gimmicks.
Not to mention the rest for the time being, today's press conference alone is enough. The reporters only need to intercept any small part of the conversation to create storm waves. Taking things out of context is their strength - they need such a strong and lively character to emerge.
Now the reporters gradually understand Roger Goodell's idea and intention to push Lu Yiqi. Even if he suffered four consecutive defeats, Goodell still did not give up Lu Yiqi, not only because Lu Yiqi is a unique young coach under the age of 30 in the league, but also represents the Asian market; more because Lu Yiqi represents youthful vitality and vitality, which is what the league needs.
What's more, Lu Yiqi is a truly smart person, and his seemingly sharp words did not leave much handles. The alliance can still create a classic image of "young young coach".
From the perspective of commercial promotion, who wouldn’t like Lu Yiqi like this?
