150. Chinese journalists

After the game against Fulham, the transfer window ended and the team also entered a three-day holiday. Most of the Crystal Palace players did not have national team competition duties. Only Onyewu and Boateng were regular visitors, so the holiday was important to most players.

It is happy for people, but painful for Onyewu and Boateng.

If others don’t say it, let’s talk about Boateng. In essence, Boateng can only be regarded as an out-and-out German, and he is only related to Ghana by blood. His brother Jerome Boateng did not join Ghana, but

Plays for the German team.

An expedition that wastes people and money is a physical torture for the players. Wen Sheng really doesn't want them to participate, but there is no other way. The national team who disobeys orders will be tricked.

During the three-day holiday, Wen Sheng took Cheryl to travel to Barcelona two days ago.

After he returned to London on the third day, he went to Bournemouth to visit his friend Eddie Howe. The English League One was in progress and he even watched a game at Bournemouth with great interest.

.

Back at the Crystal Palace on September 4, General Manager Morelli gave Wen Sheng a special guest, well, a Chinese reporter to be precise.

Wen Sheng's identity is from England, but he is also of Chinese descent. There is no trace of his parents and relatives in his previous life, but Daniel has relatives.

There are actually relatives of Daniel's father in China. Wen Sheng remembers that "he" should have an aunt and grandmother living in a small town in the southwest.

As a time traveler, he hurried back to China to look for his parents after arriving. He failed and never went back.

He is Chinese at heart. He misses China very much and misses the noodles served in the morning stall. However, when he knew that his parents were no longer in this time and space, he resisted returning to China, so he has always avoided the topic of China. His grandparents

He never mentioned before that he was going back to visit his aunt and grandma there.

Last season in the English Championship, he gained a certain reputation in England, but the domestic sports media, which has always been looking for Chinese-American subjects, did not pay attention to him, maybe because the attention of the English Championship was relatively low.

Now suddenly a Chinese reporter wants to interview him. Crystal Palace is not what it used to be. During the Carlton Trusteeship, it was useless to go to the club to interview Wen Sheng. They didn't want to deal with such trivial matters. The reporters could only go there.

Stop Wen Sheng at the training base or visit him directly.

Now during Parish's reign, Crystal Palace's favorite thing is publicity. There are a lot of official publicity. It is not as difficult for outside media to interview Wen Sheng as it used to be. Tell the club and Parish can arrange it.

, Wen Sheng couldn’t refuse.

Nowadays, everyone is following the path of globalization. Parrish and others do not have strong capital in the first place. Trying to open up the world market is a correct choice. At least it is more reliable than joining the cheerleading team.

The reporter's name is Wei Zhong. Wen Sheng also often read sports media newspapers in his previous life. He knew this person well. He was called "Wei Cannon" by netizens. He liked to fire cannons and attacked indiscriminately. He would fire on anyone he didn't like.

Chinese football has been going on for many years, but it still hasn't gotten anywhere, and it's getting worse and worse.

When it comes to the reasons, everyone is clear about it, but none of the solutions are reliable.

As for Wen Sheng himself, as a Chinese, he supports the national team, but the foundation of the national team comes from the foundation of football. Without the foundation of football, everything is empty.

Of course, Wen Sheng doesn't have any solutions.

The more he gets exposed to the reality of football, the more he realizes that football is a systematic, complicated, and long-term project that cannot be done by scratching his head and holding back a few sentences. Therefore, he has no ideas and cannot make good suggestions.

Precisely because he couldn't do anything about it, he was far from disgusted with the reporters who fired shots. Just talking about the facts, some of what they said still made sense.

Morelli introduced Wei Zhong, and Wen Sheng smiled and exchanged greetings with him in Mandarin. The clarity of his speech made Wei Zhong speechless.

"Your Mandarin is so good!"

"Mr. Wei, I am a Chinese! My father is Chinese! I am also Chinese, and of course I am a British citizen now!" Wei Zhong is indeed not annoying. He is tall and big, and he is over forty but not greasy.

Wen Sheng had a good impression of him.

"I've met a lot of Chinese people, but this is the first time I've heard your standard Mandarin! It's said that you rarely come back to China!" Wei Zhong held Wen Sheng's hand and smiled.

After introducing each other, Wen Sheng invited Wei Zhong and Moleri to his office. Moleri whispered to Wen Sheng on the way: "Promote our team well! Parrish now plans to open a Chinese official website of the team.

The website is trying to use your name!"

"Do I have any benefits?!" Wen Sheng joked. After hearing this, he immediately thought that Parish was going to use him as a gimmick. Does this mean that his position as head coach is more stable?!

If you think about it, the get out of class will be over in a few months, then this gimmick will be meaningless, right?!

"You can discuss the benefits with him yourself!" Morelli chuckled.

Wen Sheng thought to himself that Parrish was quite financially savvy. There were few football players in China, but there were a lot of fans. If he took advantage of it, he might be able to make a lot of money in China.

However, he did not understand the operation of this aspect. He was a top student at the London University School of Economics, and he almost returned all his knowledge to the teacher.

….

The rest of the time is Wei Zhong's exclusive interview with Wen Sheng.

His report will be the first Chinese media to conduct an exclusive interview with Wen Sheng, a Chinese coach.

The interview went very smoothly. The only problem was with Wen Sheng's resume. Wen Sheng was very familiar with it and there were no mistakes or problems at all.

At the end of the interview, Wei Zhongcai asked, "What suggestions do you have for the development of Chinese football?!"

The past two years have been the darkest moments for Chinese football. The crackdown on counterfeiting has put many football players in jail. Chinese netizens are pessimistic about the future of the national football team. The positive sentiment of the 1990s has disappeared.

"To be honest, I personally don't understand Chinese football, so I don't have any good suggestions! Because suggestions that don't understand the situation are just blind instructions and nonsense!" Wen Sheng rejected Wei Zhong's proposal.

However, Wei Zhong insisted on Wen Sheng giving him something. He said that if you say something, it will show that you, an ethnic Chinese, are devoted to China and everyone will like you.

Wen Sheng was speechless but unable to refute this reason. This was propaganda. Probably because he spoke Mandarin well, Wei Zhong became more direct. Gimmicks, gimmicks, all gimmicks!

Wen Sheng began to hate that he would become a gimmick.

But he still held back.

After thinking for a while, he said to Wei Zhong: "If we can vigorously develop youth football coaching training at the national level, it would be best to study in Europe!"

"From the perspective of a coach, this is my advice, because youth training coaches are crucial to the growth of young players. I have been engaged in youth training before I became the head coach of Crystal Palace. Here in Europe, we are more professional and have a better understanding of youth training.

The requirements for training coaches are also very high. If China wants to develop football, coaches cannot ignore it and should make it a focus!"

At the end, Wen Sheng said cautiously: "What I'm talking about is just my own suggestions. It's not very professional! Just don't mention it!"

Wen Sheng said this, but Wei Zhong thought he was being modest.

However, this suggestion gave Wei Zhong an idea.

"Daniel, are you interested in participating in this job?! On behalf of the Chinese football people, I would like to ask you to participate in such a plan!"

Watfak! Wen Sheng was immediately shocked. I was just a suggestion. How could I be free to participate in this job?!

And you are a damn reporter, how can you lead such a thing?!

Seeing Wen Sheng's silence, Wei Zhong added: "I know you are very busy at work and it is difficult to have time! What I mean is that you always have connections in European football. Can you help contact some good lecturers?

If China offers courses, we can also organize a group of coaches who are willing to learn to come to Europe for practical training!"

Wen Sheng was a little displeased by Wei Zhong's gimmick nature, but his words were sincerely for the good of Chinese football, and Wen Sheng was really touched.
