Chapter 118 Chinese Journalists

In a small hotel on the north side of Krum Avenue in London, most of the windows in the rooms on the third floor are lit, only one room is dark, and it is not that there is no light, but the light is very dim.

The room was not lit and the curtains were half drawn.

A computer screen emits bright light, shining on a young face wearing glasses. He has a standard cut-cut haircut, and his square face is a bit thin. His thick eyebrows are placed on his cheeks, giving people a kind and honest feeling.

His name is Li Jiandong, Chinese, [-] years old, a media company called "Century Online Football", and a reporter who was sent to work in the UK.

"Century Online Football" is a domestic sports media that integrates online media and magazines. Its influence covers the whole of China. However, because it only focuses on football content reports, the reports are relatively targeted and the content is too limited. For more than ten years, it was just a small media company with tens of millions of assets.

In the field of sports football, "Century Online Football" is doing very well. Many domestic fans will subscribe to the magazine "Century Online Football", or subscribe to become a member of the website to watch the latest football reports.

Li Jiandong has worked in "Century Online Football" for five years.

"Century Online Football" is only a medium-sized media, and there will definitely not be too many reporters stationed there. Li Jiandong is also the only reporter stationed in the UK by the company, so he is a reporter with a comprehensive job, and he needs to work as a part-time cameraman, interview reporter, text reporter, etc.

Li Jiandong's work is very important.

"Century Online Football" can only learn about the latest British football news through him, so Li Jiandong's work is naturally very busy.

In recent years, no TV station in China has purchased the broadcasting rights of the Premier League. For example, those big media TV stations are mostly broadcasting the Serie A. Domestic fans also know the Serie A very well, whether it is AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Roma , Lazio, an Italian team, has many supporters in China. On the other hand, the Premier League is much worse. The clubs that fans are familiar with are only a few top teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea.

Ordinary Premier League teams rarely have support from domestic fans.

One of the teams is special, and that is Manchester United's mortal enemy-Manchester City. Manchester City is known not because they are Manchester United's mortal enemy, nor because of how good their performance is, but in their formation. A player from China - Sun Jihai.

Sun Jihai is a very good defender.

So far, among all Chinese overseas players, Sun Jihai is the most successful one. He has become the main player of Manchester City.

Chinese players are a big attraction.

Chinese media will definitely focus on interviewing Sun Jihai, as will Li Jiandong. His job is to focus on English football, but the scope of this statement is too large. In fact, he has stayed in Manchester for a long time, interviewing Manchester United, which is the most popular among fans, and will also interview important players. In the competition, Sun Jihai was also the target of his key interviews.

Today is different.

Li Jiandong came to London early because there was a crucial game-Chelsea vs. Arsenal.

Both Chelsea and Arsenal are teams to watch.

Together, the two teams can fully represent London football, and this is also a London derby.

Li Jiandong’s job during the day is to go to Stamford Bridge to conduct interviews. In the evening, after summarizing the content, he is going to write a manuscript and send it back to China. Unfortunately, the interview has no substantive content. He is just a small media reporter. There is no chance to ask questions at all, and the content is just to record some things about the game.

What is there to report about this?
Li Jiandong was very distressed.

This is the case with writing work, as long as there is content to write, it is easy to write, but without content, it is like "a clever woman faces a rice cooker", and it is impossible to write decent things.

So he simply stopped, switched to the web content, and looked up the latest news about English football, which might bring some inspiration.

A piece of news immediately attracted attention——
"Under the leadership of the new young coach Zhang Yang, Millwall has won three consecutive victories after five consecutive victories, and the league ranking has risen to seventh!"

----

Young coach Yang-zhang?

Li Jiandong stared at the name 'yang-zhang' for a long time, and finally he was very sure that it was a standard Chinese name.

"That's right, it's a Chinese name! It's still a bad street name!"

Li Jiandong complained silently.

China has a population of 13 billion. "Zhang" is the common surname among hundreds of surnames. The number of people with the surname Zhang can reach tens of millions. With so many "Zhang clan members" as the basis, there are too many people named Zhang Yang , I dare not say that it can reach hundreds of thousands, but there must be tens of thousands.

Tens of thousands of people!

But...is this a Chinese?

Li Jiandong has a definite answer - no.

In North Korea, South Korea, or Southeast Asian countries, there are many people with the surname Zhang, and there are also many Chinese immigrants abroad. It is quite normal that there are non-Chinese people called 'yang-zhang' all over the world.

But Li Jiandong quickly found the real answer-yes.

After clicking on the news headline, the first line that appeared was 'Before Christmas, Dennis Wise was injured. This young man from China will take Wise's place as Millwall coach'.

"I wiped it!"

Li Jiandong was immediately excited!

Just now he was still watching the news calmly, but immediately became restless. This is really a Chinese coach!

Chinese coach!
"How is it possible? Impossible?"

Li Jiandong continued to read very patiently, "...this young head coach is only 22 years old, an age at which most players have just played in the professional league, but he has already become the head coach of the second-tier league..."

"Millwall Club don't know why they trust him..."

"But anyway, he's done a great job, he's won five of Millwall's six games since Christmas and he's taken them to seventh place in the league. , a little higher, they will have a chance to enter the 'upgrade zone'..."

"This may be the most watched event in the British Championship this season. A 22-year-old young coach is hard to imagine!"

"...So far, he has done a good job, but whether he can continue will depend on Millwall's next performance!"

"After the match between Millwall and Queens Park Rangers, Zhang Yang said in an interview with reporters that he is very confident to lead the team to continue to get good results..."

"..."

At the end of the report article, there are some ordinary analysis, so there is nothing to watch, but Li Jiandong still read the whole content patiently, and his emotions became very complicated--
Surprised, Shocked, Excited, Excited, and Unbelievable!

Li Jiandong didn't even know what he was thinking, but his normally functioning brain reminded him that the next thing to do was to confirm the authenticity of the report.

British reports may not be true.

In the UK, many reports about football stars and clubs are "hearsay". Perhaps the news obtained from secret channels will cause many doubts about whether the content is true or not.

Li Jiandong knows the British sports media very well, and after reading the report, he started to search the web.

Keywords: Millwall coaching change, publicity.

A large amount of news was immediately displayed on the web page, among which were introductory reports, which were the news disclosed, some praise reports, mostly praising Millwall’s recent achievements, and many critical reports, which were questioning Zhang Yang’s Coaching ability, not optimistic about Millwall's results.

Li Jiandong found more than [-] reports, took screenshots of each article, put them in the document, and analyzed and studied them one by one.

In the end he concluded that the news was true.

At the same time, I also learned the whole story: Before Christmas, Millwall's player and head coach, former Chelsea captain and England international Dennis Wise was injured when he played, and the injury was so serious that he needed to recuperate in bed for several months. The club appointed Zhang Yang, a 22-year-old Chinese national, as Millwall's interim manager.

The position of head coach is temporary, and the real job is still a 'match instructor', but the temporary head coach is also the head coach. When the outside world mentions Millwall's head coach, it is said to be publicity, because he has the power of the head coach.

Li Jiandong took a long breath.

From the perspective of a media reporter, he knew he had discovered big news.

Working in the UK, it is not easy to discover big news. Many news have long been disclosed by major domestic media. So far, the biggest news he has gotten is a 5-minute interview with Manchester United star Paul Scholes. The evaluation of teammate David Beckham is such an exclusive news, which immediately increased the sales of "Century Online Football" magazine a lot.

Nothing else.

When there is no exclusive news, Li Jiandong just runs around, collects all kinds of latest news, sorts them out and sends them back to China. When he encounters news that is slightly attractive, he will also write a report. His job is just like this up.

Now is a great opportunity!

A young Chinese, as the head coach of the English Championship team!
How big is this news?
Since there are no TV stations in China that have the rights to broadcast the Premier League, domestic fans’ knowledge of the Premier League is limited to the top teams, let alone the English Championship, which is a blank area of ​​domestic reports, almost no The media will send reporters to interview, and there are almost no related reports in China.

In a season, domestic fans can only see news about the Championship at the end of the season, and that is information about teams promoted to the Championship.

So this might be a scoop too!
Although the temptation of the news is very strong, Li Jiandong still resisted it. He still needs to confirm one thing: Is it because he does not know that there is a young Chinese coach coaching in the UK, or does the whole of China know about it?

This is a big problem.

He hasn't returned to China for more than three months, and he doesn't know much about the situation in China.

So Li Jiandong immediately called back to the company to confirm whether the country knew the news.
