Chapter 181 I Came All the Way Here, Not Just to See You
The Chinese reporters said that there was no good show to watch, so they dispersed.
Then they noticed Ji Leng standing outside the training ground.
Someone clicked their lips and shook their heads: "It's so naive! It's a waste of time!"
"Oh, some people just don't look back until they hit the south wall, and they won't die until they reach the Yellow River..."
They mocked Ji Leng mercilessly.
During this period of time, these Chinese journalists based in Valencia have seen too many new faces like Ji Leng. They all came to Valencia full of confidence, thinking that they could handle Chang Sheng like Yan Min and get the same opportunity to interview Chang Sheng alone like Yan Min.
Then everyone finally withdrew in disgrace. Some female reporters were still crying when they left, and they didn't know what Chang Sheng said to them, so they didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade...
Because they have seen a lot, they have long since given up any illusions and expectations.
When everyone wanted to come to interview Chang Sheng, they were still the same. Because they know it's impossible.
Even if Yan Min succeeds once, it doesn't mean they can all succeed. Who knows what's the story between Chang Sheng and that woman... Maybe it's Chang Sheng's girlfriend or not.
The Chinese journalists who were planning to leave saw that strange face intending to take the initiative to be humiliated. With the mentality of watching a play, they didn't leave and stayed to watch the play.
※※※
Ji Leng has been hesitating, and finally he chose to stay.
He was on a plane and a train, and he couldn’t understand a word the people on the road said. He ate instant noodles and biscuits that he brought from China, and he read Chinese-Spanish dictionaries along the way to relieve his boredom. .
After coming to Valencia so hard, how can I turn around and leave?
Come here, even if you know the other party's attitude is not good, you have to give it a try, even if you fail, you will be reconciled.
So he chose to stand on the sidelines, waiting for Chang Sheng to come out.
※※※
When Chang Sheng walked down from the training ground, he discovered that there was a different situation on the side of the training ground than usual.
as usual,
before he came out. The place is basically empty, and the Chinese journalists have already dispersed, because they know that it is impossible for them to accept their interviews.
But here today, there is actually a Chinese reporter.
Chang Sheng couldn't help but take another look at this person.
The person who came was carrying a backpack, and a somewhat worn suitcase was placed by his leg.
He noticed that the visitor was holding a... Chinese-Spanish dictionary and a map in his hand. Although folded up. But he could still see that it was a map of Valencia.
He moved his gaze up again and saw the other person's face.
His hair was disheveled, his beard was unshaven, his face was haggard, and he looked like he hadn't rested well.
Chang Sheng has been here for more than a season, and this is the first time he has seen such a distressed reporter that he wonders if this person is really a reporter?
Which newspaper is not reliable? Send a reporter who doesn't even understand Spanish?
But when he looked at the dusty reporter in front of him, he suddenly felt very kind.
Because the appearance of this reporter reminded him of how he was when he was looking for a job in Getafe, and he was also carrying a backpack. Pulling the suitcase, he broke into the office of Getafe Chairman Flores and accepted his interview.
Flores didn't dislike her ugly appearance and gave herself a chance.
In the end, he officially set foot on the professional football stage from Getafe.
If Flores hadn't given him this chance at the beginning, it was only because of his embarrassing face and dust. Then maybe all the stories after this will be completely non-existent...
When I saw this reporter, I thought of myself.
Of course Chang Sheng knew why this reporter came to him.
But Flores was able to give himself a chance back then, why couldn't he give this reporter, who was in a situation similar to his own, a chance?
So he stopped in front of the reporter.
※※※
"Fuck! No?"
"What's happening here?"
"Hey, this shouldn't be!"
"Who can tell me if I read it wrong?"
"You read that right, Chang Sheng did stop in front of that unfamiliar face!"
When they saw Chang Sheng stopped in front of Ji Leng, a group of reporters were all dumbfounded, and then they screamed as if they had been poked at the G-spot.
Things are not at all what they imagined. They didn't go according to the script they thought, and they were greatly stimulated by this scene.
"Did that face say something? Who can see his mouth?"
"It seems that there is no..."
"This is bloody hell!"
※※※
"Are you a fan looking for my autograph?" Chang Sheng asked knowingly.
Ji Leng shook his head: "No, I don't want your autograph, I want to be able to interview you."
"A reporter?" Chang Sheng stared at him. His expression was not friendly, and it was not at all obvious that he intended to give this person a chance.
But maybe this is just a small test...
"Yes, I am a reporter from "Today Morning Post". I hope to have an exclusive interview with you. There are many fans in China who care about you..."
Chang Sheng interrupted the other party: "But you should know that I don't accept interviews from Chinese reporters."
"Then Yan Min from "Strength Sports"..."
"It was just a misunderstanding. I didn't accept her interview, but just chatted with her casually." Chang Sheng shook his head, his attitude seemed very firm.
※※※
"Ha! I knew it! I knew it!"
"See it? See it! This is what happens when you go for an interview!"
"A cat or a dog who came out of nowhere actually wanted to interview Chang Sheng... Ha! This is the standard ending!"
"Chang Sheng shook his head, apparently he once again rejected the reporters' invitation to interview!"
"Haha! Great joy!"
"We've been squatting here for so long, and we haven't had the opportunity for an exclusive interview. How can it be possible to come out of the country and want to be interviewed?"
"This is the cruel reality, let's go back to China!"
Seeing Chang Sheng shaking his head, the reporters who were watching from a distance immediately gasped.
They like to watch those domestic reporters suffer, because they have been here for a season, but they have not been able to get an interview with Changsheng. If those domestic reporters are allowed to pick peaches like this. How could they be willing?
※※※
After Chang Sheng shook his head, he asked about this reporter. He seemed very interested in Ji Leng.
"I noticed that you are holding a Chinese-Spanish dictionary...don't you speak Spanish?" He pointed to the dictionary in Ji Leng's hand.
Ji Leng looked down, since he got on the plane, he has never left this dictionary.
"I don't know Spanish, and I don't even know much English." Ji Leng smiled wryly.
"Then why are you still here?"
Ji Leng certainly doesn't want others to know about those things inside them. Internal conflicts should not be spread outside.
So he just said, "The job requires it."
"Can't you find a reporter who can speak Spanish or English in your newspaper?"
Ji Leng didn't want to talk more, but said: "They don't have time, but I have more time..."
Chang Sheng felt that Ji Leng had something to hide, but...it had nothing to do with him.
He remembered what Yan Min had said to him.
To occupy the position of public opinion...
He always felt that there was no suitable candidate for this job.
Now this reporter appeared in front of him.
He began to wonder if this was fate.
With so many reporters, he just liked Ji Leng.
Maybe it's because Ji Leng's current appearance is too similar to what happened to him back then, which resonates with him, or it's because of his nostalgia for his past.
Now he has one last question to ask, pointing to the Chinese reporters watching in the distance, he said: "I think you should have heard from those people. No one can interview me. Why don't you go? "
"I came all the way to Valencia, not to see you, and then turn around and leave." Ji Leng said. "I've come here, I always have to give it a try. Otherwise, I feel panicked."
Chang Sheng laughed when he heard what he said, and he nodded: "Very well, then let's go to the office to talk."
Ji Leng suddenly understood this sentence. But he was stunned.
He thought he had heard wrong.
Didn't it mean that this head coach is difficult to approach?
Except for Yan Min, no one can approach him, interview him...
Why is it so easy for me?
Chang Sheng took two steps, turned around and saw that Ji Leng hadn't followed, so he hooked his hands at him: "Come on!"
Ji Leng just woke up like a dream, and hurriedly followed with his suitcase.
※※※
When the reporters saw Chang Sheng turned and left, they all thought the story between the two of them was over.
Many people think that this is the standard ending every time a reporter meets Chang Sheng...
Who would have thought that it would be at this moment. They stopped again when they saw Chang Sheng, and then hooked Ji Leng.
So Ji Leng also picked up his suitcase and followed Chang Sheng's buttocks, one in front of the other. Just like that, he ran towards the small two-story building.
A group of reporters are completely dumbfounded - what is the situation?
That unfamiliar face actually followed Chang Sheng away?
Does this mean the interview was successful?
But what method did he use to make Chang Sheng agree to his request?
The reporters looked at each other in shock.
"This... this is unscientific!"
※※※
In Chang Sheng's office, Ji Leng has returned to normal.
While Chang Sheng made him coffee, he looked at the office. The cabinet is full of various materials, documents, and video tapes, and these are also placed on the table, which seems a bit messy.
Behind the winning chairs is a large blackboard with a bird's-eye view of the stadium. There is still the tactical map of the last game against Mallorca.
There is also a laptop on the table, which is turned on, and the fan makes a low buzzing sound.
It can be seen from the office that the head coach seems to be very dedicated.
Passing the brewed instant coffee to Ji Leng, Chang Sheng sat down on his chair and looked at the reporter sitting on the sofa diagonally opposite.
"I don't know your name yet, Mr. Reporter."
"Ah, I'm sorry. Ji Leng. Season to season, warm and cold." Ji Leng said as he took out his business card from his pocket and handed it over.
Chang Sheng took a look and was stunned.
Because it says: "Today Morning Post" social department reporter...
"Aren't you a football reporter?" Chang Sheng asked in surprise.
Ji Leng was very embarrassed, he would not have handed over his business card if he had known earlier. If you let the other party know that you are just a reporter from the social department, not a football reporter, will you disagree with the interview?
He had no choice but to explain embarrassingly: "Uh, the sports department doesn't have that many people..."
Chang Sheng waved his hand: "Okay, can we start the interview?"
Ji Leng nodded: "Okay."
"Fine. Let's go."
Ji Leng took out a notebook and recording pen from his bag.
His questions were recorded in the notebook. Although he was trying to catch the ducks on the shelves, he still made detailed preparations for the job. In addition, he would also take shorthand notes at any time during the interview.
The recording pen is to record the whole process otherwise, so as to avoid missing things.
The specific interview manuscripts were sorted out after listening to the interview recordings after returning home. Although he is not a sports reporter, he has been doing it for seven years and he is familiar with it.
"So... can we start with your experience of leaving China and studying in Europe?"
"no problem."
"I've heard it said that your current success is inseparable from your early study tours. It is generally believed that you have seen many different styles of football and learned from everyone. That's why you are today. Achievement, your improved -taka tactics are also derived from these experiences of yours... Do you agree with this statement?"
Chang Sheng has indeed seen similar references in other media.
He realizes that his success will always make everyone doubt it.
Because he jumped up too fast, too fiercely.
Nothing can explain his success at Getafe and Valencia.
Naturally, it is impossible for him to tell others that he has a master coach system, so everyone's doubts about him will always exist unless he gives a reasonable explanation.
Now this statement can be regarded as a reasonable explanation.
But in fact, this paragraph of manager may be the reason for his "brother"'s success, definitely not his own...
Chang Sheng nodded: "Yes, that experience had a great impact on me and benefited me a lot... In addition, a united and excellent team is also the reason why I can succeed..." (to be continued)
