Chapter 13 Interviews from China
Chapter 13 Interview from China ()
After the party, everyone returned to their homes, and Mark's words were deeply imprinted in the hearts of the three people. Van der Fate went home and told his girlfriend Sylvia about Mark's performance on and off the court today. Sylvia laughed, but after laughing, Sylvia said: "It seems that Mark is really an interesting person. I think when I first saw him, I felt that he was definitely not an ordinary person. His eyes showed a desire for victory. Such a person would never be ordinary. How could I make it a good idea."
"You look at people so accurate." After hearing Sylvia's words, Van der Fat nodded and said, "But I also feel that Mark's progress is so great, and I also believe he will succeed."
The next day, the largest newspaper in Dutch football, "Loyalty News", conducted a special report with the title "Chinese players disdain for the Dutch legend". The report stated that although Mark came on as a substitute in Ajax's debut and turned the tide and completed the reversal, it is undeniable that Mark has absolutely extraordinary talent, but talent cannot determine that the future football path will be successful. Think about the talented players before, how many of them have passed the final mediocrity like the trend. Mark is still far away to catch up with Rijkald now, let alone surpass it. Of course, Mark has the potential to become a legendary star like Rijkald. As for how to go in the future, it depends on his own efforts and luck.
It is obvious that "Loyalty" still maintains an optimistic and cautious attitude towards Mark surpassing Rijkaard. At least one game does not explain it. This also reflects the prudence of the Dutch media. Although it is a very open country, their media people are still very rigorous. This is not like a Dutch at all, but like a newspaper run by a German.
Van Gaal, a technical official of Ajax who was looking at the newspaper in the Ajax club, couldn't help but smile after looking at the "Loyalty" report on Mark. He has reason to be proud, because Mark's transfer was signed by him, and Mark's free agent's value undoubtedly made Ajax get a big advantage. Mark's outstanding performance in the last game, his current value has skyrocketed. His current conservative estimate is at least one million euros, while Van Gaal only
He signed him with a signing fee of 20,000 euros and a weekly salary of 1,000 euros. And if Mark's value goes far beyond the current amount as time goes by, you should know that European football's current midfielder with both offense and defense is hard to come by. The Dutch team has not been able to have a midfielder with both offense and defense after Rijkaard, so Van Gaal smiled happily. The better Mark grows, the more famous he will be in the club.
There is also the feeling of this. Pronk, the chief scout of Ajax Club. Pronk did not watch the live broadcast due to work, but Pronk carefully read the entire report about Mark in the newspaper the next day.
"Haha, my vision is good," Pronk said to himself while reading the newspaper: "When I recommended Mark to the club's senior management, they still had some doubts about my vision. Now you know that my chief scout is not a waste of money."
However, Mark's outstanding performance has attracted special attention from the Chinese sports newspaper "Football News", which of course has to be thanked for the convenience brought by the powerful Internet era. You should know that the Netherlands' "Loyalty News" is the largest newspaper in the Netherlands. Moreover, the Eredivisie is also a senior league in addition to the five major leagues. Moreover, the attention of Ajax is one of the most well-known teams in the world will naturally attract attention. This is not surprising. However, the video of Mark's game was discovered by a careful Dutch student and posted online.
At this time, the editorial department of the "Football News".
The editor-in-chief is furious at his subordinates. He has been in a row for several months, and his sales have not increased at all. Now he is almost suppressed by the Sports News and cannot raise his head.
However, the several reporters who were scolded were also wronged. What can Chinese football attract fans to pay attention to now? In the 2002 World Cup, the Chinese team entered the finals without any prior experience, so the Chinese market became popular again. Moreover, the Chinese team's performance in the World Cup was simply terrible. After being performed by Costa Rica, Turkey and Brazil, a goal-scoring performance, the goal was not exhausted. In fact, the Chinese fans' hopes are not high. They just hope that the Chinese team can score a goal. However, this wish has not been realized for the players. However, more than a year has passed, and the enthusiasm of the fans has gradually cooled down with the end of the World Cup. This is something that journalists can do.
Although I feel wronged, I can only think about it in my heart. At this time, I will be unable to get along with my job.
The editor-in-chief was also depressed. He also knew that the newspaper was difficult to deal with now, but the sales volume was not good and the top was looking for him directly. No matter what topic the audience liked, it was your editor-in-chief’s business. They only looked at the results.
"Ding Ding Ding" At this time, the phone rang. The editor-in-chief, who was about to curse a few more words, picked up the phone and said, "I am the editor-in-chief of the Football Newspaper. Is there anything wrong? What? Is the news reliable? OK, okay, I will read it right away. I remember the website you mentioned. Thank you so much. I will treat you to a meal next time."
The people who were trained looked at the shocked editor-in-chief for no reason. It probably was some big news, otherwise why would this damn old man be so excited?
"You log in to this website quickly." The big guy is the big guy and quickly recovered his calmness. The editor-in-chief said to his subordinates word by word: "According to reliable news, Ajax Club defeated this season's dark horse Alkmaar Club three to two in the Netherlands' first league yesterday. A Chinese player saved Ajax with one pass and one shot. Now this video is being reprinted madly on the Internet abroad."
"Bang!" Three people in the editorial department suffered a heart attack and fell to the ground.
For these media workers, the most important thing is news, and this news is undoubtedly a huge news! It is conceivable that when the newspaper with "Chinese Football Genius Conquers the Netherlands" comes out, the whole of China will be shocked.
However, as a media person, these things need to be confirmed. Although the media is no different from women, it still needs to be determined about this Chinese football genius. If the player is a Korean or Japanese, the joke will be too big, and the anger of the fans will not be able to bear to the "Football News" at that time.
The editor-in-chief immediately contacted an acquaintance in the Netherlands, and called the Ajax club to accurately verify that there was indeed a Chinese player playing in the Netherlands. Moreover, the hero who made a pass and shot in the last game was indeed a Chinese. When the editor-in-chief immediately sent someone to Amsterdam, the Netherlands to prepare for the interview.
Mark had no idea how much sensation he had caused in China. He is now training hard on the club's training ground. Due to his outstanding performance in the last game, Mark has now put on the red training suit representing the starting lineup, but Mark was not surprised by this. He felt that these things were justified, and everyone also found that Mark's smile today was much more than usual. This is because after entering the dream space this morning, Mark found that his honor points had actually improved. Not only did he get twenty points to complete the task, but he also gave him an additional twenty points to the best player system after the game. This was like picking up money, which made Mark feel excited.
Since using the "Dream Space", Mark realized that this place is simply a "gold-absorbing cave". It should not be called the "honorbing cave". If Mark does not issue any tasks in training every day, Mark really doesn't know what to do when the season ends. Before, since there was no first-team game, he basically relied on his old capital. Now that there is a first-team game, Mark finally wants to accumulate honor points. However, the benefits of being able to train in this "Dream Space" are obvious. Mark now feels that he can improve every day.
Moreover, Mark, whose doubts about himself are in the "space", also got satisfactory answers, that is, although his speed is double, it is impossible to directly cross twice as much. This requires a cumulative process, which means that Mark can finally hit double the speed through his own efforts.
Mark found on the training ground that, after the last game, his net worth soared overnight. There were twice as many fans outside the training ground than usual, and they were basically sexy Dutch girls.
However, Mark is young after all, and he is still very excited to have fans support him. He often deliberately shows off his strengths, speed and header to show his fans when confronting him.
After looking at Mark on the training ground, Koeman wanted to mention him because he had seen too many overnight players and talented talented players who became famous and lost in the nightlife off the court. His performance on the training ground was not serious and he looked like he was the best in the world. However, Mark's performance today was no different from his previous training, and he was even more diligent. Koeman nodded with satisfaction.
This training was the most difficult time for Mark to come to the Netherlands. As long as he got the ball, there were bursts of screams from girls coming from around him. What's more, at the end of the training, fans could come to take photos and sign autographs with their favorite stars, and almost all the female fans surrounded Mark.
However, Mark did not reject their enthusiasm. After all, this was the first time he had enjoyed the pursuit of fanatical fans, but Van der Fate seemed to be no less than Mark. For him, who had been famous for many years, he stood by Mark loyally and helped him block some of the enthusiastic fans. However, even so, Mark was tragic.
The enthusiasm of Dutch female fans is world-famous. After an afternoon of autographs and photos, Mark felt that his arms and face had cramped. He whispered helplessly to Van der Fate, who was full of sympathy, and said: "I would rather defend Zlatan than be punished."
"It's not a good thing to be famous," Mark spread his hands and said to Van der Fate, who was going home with him. "It seems that I'd better be low-key in the future."
Van der Fate looked at Mark with shameless expression and wanted to beat him up, but he didn't take action because he felt that Mark really had the ability to speak big. Even if Mark was famous now, he did not express relaxation during training. He still lived an otaku life every day like an ascetic. Mark's current life is basically a training ground and a Chinese restaurant, and then he went home to rest. If there was no invitation from others, there would be basically no nightlife. Even if he invited Mark himself, he would not go out with him often. As a friend, Van der Fate still admired this.
The next day, during training, I quietly brought a few "acquaintances" to me.
Although he is a "acquaintance", he does not know him. The reason why he calls him an acquaintance is entirely a face that is also an oriental. Moreover, when Mark sees the other person's outfit and expression, he must be a Chinese. As a Chinese, Mark can still distinguish the nuances between Japanese and Chinese.
Mark didn't know what happened to Momo bringing these people. Before Momo could explain to Mark, someone came out of the crowd and said, "Hello, we are reporters of Football News. My name is Lin Hai. This is my partner Guo Nu. Can we give you an exclusive interview?" Of course, he spoke in pure Chinese. After listening to the other party's words, Mark confirmed his judgment.
"Football News?" Of course Mark knew this one of the best newspapers in Chinese sports newspapers. "Of course, it's OK, but it's okay to wait until the training is over?" Although you can often meet overseas Chinese in the Netherlands, media from your own country still make Mark feel more face-saving when interviewing him. Moreover, this interview is an exclusive interview. Mark feels that his value has increased a lot now."
After hearing Mark's answer, Lin Hai and Guo's hearts were suddenly put in their stomachs. When they contacted Ajax Club, they wanted to give Mark an exclusive interview. When Ajax Club notified Mark's agent, Murong Momo. After the two parties contacted each other, Momo also felt that he should ask Mark's opinions before talking. However, due to time, the Football Newspaper should send the interview as soon as possible. Because they did not want other domestic media to become interested in Mark and then conduct an exclusive interview in advance, Momo did not notify Mark and directly brought them to the training ground. Fortunately, Mark agreed without hesitation.
"You media should not interfere with my players' training." Koeman walked out inappropriately at this time and said, "If you have any problems, you can wait until the training is over."
"Oh, I'm really sorry." Guo Nu said from the sidelines: "But we should be able to watch the training on the sidelines. We want to take a few photos to make the cover."
"As long as I don't disturb my players' normal training, it's enough." Koeman nodded and said as a default.
"Football News" and his group watched an in-team match of the Ajax Youth Team outside the training ground. Mark appeared in the midfield wearing a red training suit. Heading, speed, interception, and long pass. Mark was simply the midfield barrier of the main team. Mark, who showed his skills in front of Chinese media people for the first time, also played hard in this training game, and he simply regarded the training game as the final of the Champions League. The teammates were wondering what the wrong medicine had taken today. Although Mark was very hard in training, he seemed more domineering on the court today.
In fact, these players didn't know that Mark had a little thought, that is, since it was a Chinese media interviewing him, if he tried hard to perform, he would definitely see it in his hometown once he entered the newspaper, and then his parents would definitely be very respectful.
After the training, Mark asked the two of them to sit first, took a shower by themselves, changed their clothes, dressed up handsomely and came to see the two of them again.
When the two of them laughed when they saw Mark's appearance, they didn't bring a camera. What did this young man do in such formal clothes?
Lin Hai came to relieve the siege. Anyway, it was an oral interview, and the clothes were the same: "Hello, Mark, what place are you from?"
"Liaoning native."
"Then which team did you play for before?"
"Liaoning Youth Team, but I was terminated in advance." Mark said with some recollection, "When did you come to Amsterdam? Why didn't you receive any news in China?"
"I was discovered by Ajax's scouts when I was traveling to the Netherlands and joined the youth team. Now I am appreciated by the coaches of the first team to play for the first team, which is that simple."
Mark's words made the two of them unclear. They never expected that the young Chinese man who played for Ajax, the top team in the Eredivisie, was actually an eliminated player from a club A.
The mood of the two reporters can only be described as excitement. This is super big news! When I was young, I traveled across the ocean to the Netherlands for vacation. Now I am about to become the new king of Eredivisie. This is the thing that attracts readers' attention the most! I must dig out all of Mark's things before other media reports such as Sports Weekly, and then I will be invincible.
However, they think there should be something else to write about here, that is, to cater to some people's tastes, it can be written as the youth training system of the Dutch Ajax Club is not as good as that of the Chinese A.
This is also a traceable story, because Mark is a player eliminated by the A-A youth team but can stand out in the Ajax youth team. Doesn’t this mean that the Eredivisie is not as good as the A-A? However, as a senior media person, they think that although such a title can attract attention, it is somewhat not objective enough. You should know that the reason why Mark can stand out in the Netherlands must have something unique. These things are definitely not given to him by the A-A club, and they are looking for these things.
Chapter completed!
