Chapter 107 Blocking the Media
There was laughter at the press conference.

Hart, the coach of Nottingham Forest, was on the other side of the rostrum. He didn't continue to accept the interview at all. He just looked at Zhang Yang with a wry smile on his face. He didn't expect Zhang Yang's words to be so sharp, and he didn't expect that he really Dare to say anything!

That's going to get you in trouble!

Zhang Yang's statement just now is tantamount to saying 'you were born after your mother had an affair', or 'you are not your father's child', and everyone can understand the connotation.

Then came the controversy.

Although Zhang Yang spoke very politely, that was what he meant.

As the head coach of a British Championship team, this kind of nonsense will definitely be noticed by the FA. Under normal procedures, it is inevitable that things will be investigated, and then they will be warned and fined.

That's not the point.

The fines issued by the FA are usually based on the severity of the matter and the income of the club and the head coach. Zhang Yang is definitely not among the high-income coaches, and the fines he received are at most several thousand pounds.

Millwall can afford it.

Zhang Yang is fine.

The key point of this approach is that it will directly offend the media!
The humiliation of the reporter is equal to the humiliation of the media he represents. Then Millwall, or Zhang Yang, will be ready to face the pressure of the stormy public opinion.

"Still too young!" Hart exclaimed.

Zhang Yang was still smiling, as if he just said 'good morning' just now, but the reporter's face was flushed with anger, and he said fiercely, "You will regret saying that!"

Zhang Yang shrugged indifferently.

There is no need for the press conference to continue.

The media got the big news they wanted-the reporter of "London Sporting News" was mercilessly insulted by Millwall's young coach in public.This kind of gossip news is much more interesting than the game!
Zhang Yang walked out of the venue.

As Hart thought, it would definitely be a bit troublesome to do that, but so what?In the media's constant negative reports, he just wanted to vent!

what luck?
Shit-shit!
I lead the team by virtue of ability!
Most of the media don't believe this, but Zhang Yang is still very generous, he doesn't care whether the media believe it or not.

It doesn't matter.

But when watching the reports of various media, Zhang Yang has long had his own division of the media: one is the 'supporters', such as "British BBC Television", "The Times" and other media have affirmed him in their reports His ability also affirmed Millwall's recent achievements.

These are tantamount to 'support faction'.

The "Guardian", "The Sun" and other regional media are all 'neutral'. They don't care whether Zhang Yang is capable or not, and they don't care about Millwall's performance. They just interview and find some news, and they don't target to report.

The 'opposition' camp has two members, the English Football News and the London Sporting News.

Both are medium-sized media.

Their situation is much better than that of the small media, but they cannot keep up with the big media, and their influence is only in the London area. There are basically no users and readers in other areas, and they are all looking for development. They mainly report on the news of the English Championship. The way is to constantly report new content, exclusive interviews, and another important point is to constantly create big news.

The reporter of "London Sports News" deliberately wanted to provoke Zhang Yang in order to create the big news he wanted.

This is their means.

Zhang Yang knew what the other party was going to do. If he was really irritated, he would definitely say a lot about it, and he would have fallen into the other party's trap, so he chatted with the other party in a polite way.

As for the result, he also considered it.

fine?

This is the case with the Millwall club, and their salary income is also public. No matter how the FA punishes them, it is impossible to be too high, otherwise it will make other small clubs dissatisfied.

Media pressure?
The situation is already like this, how could it be worse?It is simply unrealistic to expect the media to report his good news.

Zhang Yang is not someone who passively waits for the opponent to make a move.

On the way back with the team, Zhang Yang made a counterattack first. He logged on to Weibo and sent an update message——

"As Millwall manager, I regret the quality, ethics and professionalism of some of the media.

I also had to make a regrettable decision——

From now on, the Millwall Club and the Neal Stadium do not welcome reporters from the "British Football News" and "London Sports News", please detour from these two media~~~"

Many people in the industry saw the news, their eyes widened, and they looked like they couldn't believe it-this is to block the media!
Block the media?

That might be the right of the big clubs.

For example, like the influential Manchester United club, coach Ferguson is qualified to 'block' the media. He can refuse interviews with some media that have a bad relationship, and even allow some media to report on the Manchester United club.

Other influential top clubs also have similar rights.

That is actually not power, but influence. As long as the influence reaches the standard, it is not that the club wants the media to interview, but the media eagerly come to interview the club.

Does Millwall have this influence?
The answer is obvious.

So many people don't understand, especially the "British Football News" and "London Sports News" who made publicity about "blocking". Millwall's most covered media.Without the "English Football" and "London Sporting News", which media will report on Millwall?
At that time, Millwall will become unknown, because fans can't find relevant news on the news.

"Too irrational!"

Many people in the industry commented.

After all, there are only a small number of people in the industry, and most of the fans are pointing out their support. Among them, Millwall fans are all raising their hands to support, because Millwall's recent results are very good, and they are very satisfied with Zhang Yang's coaching, no matter what the media says 'Incompetent', 'inexperienced', 'too young', but the team has been winning, and that's the most important thing.

Other fans are more sensible.

So they immediately looked up what happened to make Zhang Yang post such a Weibo.

Soon they found it.

After the match between Millwall and Nottingham Forest, relevant reports were everywhere, and big media such as "The Times" and "The Sun" were involved. In comparison, Millwall's victory has become unimportant .

One of the better comments is, "The reporter of "London Sporting News" angered Millwall coach Zhang Yang, and the young Chinese went crazy on the spot and greeted the reporter with insulting words!"

Those with bad reviews just said directly, "Millwall coach publicly insulted reporters!"

The matter exploded.

By the time I returned to the club, the follow-up effects began to take hold.

Although it was already ten o'clock in the evening, Gregory, the chairman of the club, still called and asked anxiously, "Zhang! What's going on? I heard that you and the reporter of "London Sports News" had a bad relationship? Weibo said to 'block' "London Sports News" and "British Football News"?"

"Is this too much? We can discuss it with them, otherwise the club will be under a lot of pressure from public opinion. I am worried that it will affect the team's performance, and we also need these two media to report. They are the University of London. The media with the most coverage of the Championship matches in the region!"

Gregory looked worried.

The chairman's inquiry must be taken seriously. Zhang Yang patiently explained, "Mr. Gregory, first of all, I assure you that the team's performance will not be affected in any way!"

"This incident is caused by those damn reporters looking for trouble! You should also know that since I became the head coach, those medium-sized media in the London area have not reported good news. Our results have always been very good. But it has always been negative news! Why is this? Because I am young! I am a Chinese! I am a topic! They are not willing to admit that a young Chinese has the ability to lead the British Championship and achieve good results. So they kept looking for various reasons, and deliberately tried to smear me and the club..."

"You should have seen these in the report!"

Grigory was silent for a while, and said, "That's true, but we also need media reports! Fame is very important in the operation of any club. If we can keep being reported, fame is equal to income, otherwise..."

"You don't have to worry!" Zhang Yang said confidently, "Reporting is indeed important, but that is when the team's performance is not good. As long as the team's performance is maintained, those big media will take the initiative to interview. We don't have to care about it at all. Those small media!"

"You're right to say that..." Grigory still hesitated.

Zhang Yang continued, "And I don't think those reports are useful. They have been making negative reports. I can't think of any use other than affecting my personal image and the image of the club. Any team only has results. Most importantly, we don't need to maintain a good relationship in all aspects, as long as we can win!"
