Chapter 37: Interviews
"Don't think that you can bribe me by giving me ice cream. Although ice cream is my favorite, I am a person with principles." Although 11-year-old Susu said so, she took the ice cream unceremoniously The skillful unpacking and the disposable spoon started the "battle".

She's not a principled person at all like she says
Li Zihan found it very interesting. From the very beginning, this child had been looking at him with vigilant eyes, as if he was guarding against a thief.

And Susan was really embarrassed: "I'm sorry, you know our family's situation, I've been busy all the time, and I don't have time to take care of Susu."

Although Su Su was very impolite, the way Susan looked at her was still extremely doting, just like a loving mother looking at her own princess.

Li Zihan smiled nonchalantly: "I know, I am actually an orphan, and I have been very mischievous since I was a child."

Although Susan and Li Zihan had known each other for several months, this was the first time she heard that Li Zihan was an orphan.In her mind, most Chinese players spend money at home to send them to football schools. Although she was surprised, Susan didn't ask much.

On the contrary, Susu, who was eating ice cream, looked at him with softer eyes. People who have no parents since childhood are very sensitive in this respect.

Elaine seemed very curious: "Big star, big star, tell me how you came to Italy to play football, how did you survive when all the Chinese overseas players are wiped out? You must know that you are like this in Juventus. It seems that the only Chinese player to join the largest club is Dong Fangzhuo, who was at Manchester United, but he has basically never played for Manchester United in official games."

Li Zihan couldn't help but smile, as if all the Chinese were curious about how he "bleached" into Juventus, Li Zihan had to repeat what he told Susan about playing.

Like a curious baby, Elaine kept asking Li Zihan some unnutritious questions, such as what do you like to eat?what color do you like?What constellation?Do you have a girlfriend?
When Li Zihan answered that she didn't have a girlfriend, Elaine was obviously happy, and Susan rolled her eyes at the side. This little girl's last question is the point, right?

Li Zihan is not a talkative person. Throughout the evening, it was Elaine who asked questions. This bachelor's house.

When the night began to darken, the three of Susan bid farewell to Li Zihan and went back after Elaine asked for her autograph and group photo with satisfaction.

When Susan was about to get home, she realized that she didn't seem to have taught Li Zihan today, and she shook her head secretly because it was because of Elaine.

And Yi Lian quickly turned on the computer after returning home, wrote today's line on her Weibo, and then attached a photo of them going to the Juventus Arena to watch the game and taking a group photo with Li Zihan.It is said that the photos on women's Weibo are either food, beautiful clothes and jewelry, or narcissistic photos of themselves.

But Yi Lian is obviously different. She likes to post the scenery and customs of her travels when she was studying in Europe on Weibo.

After it was over, Yi Lian excitedly went to register a "Li Zihan post bar", but the compatriots in China were too enthusiastic, and there were more than a dozen post bars that started with Li Zihan's name.

Elaine thought about it and then she typed "Run in the name of Hanniang" in the name column.
In the end, I also posted the content of the chat with Li Zihan tonight and Li Zihan's photos in my registered new bar.

I have to say that in this way, this post bar with a particularly weird name seems more "official". At least no post bar of Li Zihan can get Li Zihan's life photo and autograph.

And when Li Zihan and Susan were chatting about each other, Conte also welcomed a group of guests in his office.

Conte looked at the two people in front of him: "You mean you want to interview Li?"

Zhang Cheng is a reporter for China Sports Weekly in Italy. Although there have been many scandals in Italian football in recent years, news emerges endlessly every year.But as a weekly Chinese newspaper, they don't get any first-hand news here, let alone exclusive news.

Their so-called Italian branch basically reprints reports from foreign media and then translates them and sends them to China for publication. These are basically what are often used in the circle.

Just when they were following Naples and trying to find a way to get an exclusive interview with Cavani, Italian media colleagues have been reporting on a Chinese player in recent weeks.

"Gazzetta dello Sport", "Gazzetta dello Sport", "Corriere de Corriere" and "All Sports" and other mainstream Italian football media reported on Li Zihan with the same headline "Super Substitute from the Mysterious East". He is roughly regarded as the Chinese version of Solskjaer.

Under the "investigation" by Zhang Cheng and his assistant Wang Lei, it was discovered that no media had obtained an exclusive interview with this rising Italian football star so far, and the two of them immediately became bloody.

Chance!The Italian media can't get the interview, can't we as compatriots get it?You must know that Chinese people living abroad will have a great sense of intimacy when they see Chinese people. We may not say that this sweet pastry in front of the Italian media is about to be eaten by us.

So the two of them ran from Naples to Turin.

What they don't know is that the reason why the Italian media didn't get Li Zihan's news interview was all blocked by Conte. He didn't want those bastards' pens to affect his disciple's career path.

You must know that in football, there are not a few geniuses ruined by the media.You score a goal and they say you're awesome, but when you don't score a goal they'll say you're an idiot
"Yes, Mr. Conte. As a compatriot of Li Zihan, many domestic fans hope to know everything about him." Zhang Chengda said awe-inspiringly.

Conte wondered: "There are many fans after just playing a few games?"

"Oh, Mr. Conte, you don't understand China's national conditions. You must know that Li Zihan's popularity in China now surpasses Pirlo and Buffon of your club, and keeps up with Milan's Balotelli."

Kong Tiping curled his lips: "Although that bastard played well, his personality is too bad. I didn't expect this kind of guy to be very popular in your country."

Zhang Cheng didn't explain that, he was only thinking about Li Zihan.

"Look, when can we do an exclusive interview with Li Zihan?"

Previously, the Italian media themselves were able to block it, but the Chinese media, as Li's compatriots, were really hard to block it.

Conte thought for a while and said: "This matter has to be decided by Li himself. How about this? Let me ask for you. If Li agrees, you can come to interview him. If he doesn't agree...I like you and don't disturb me. Player, he is still very young. The future of young people is always full of potential, I don't think you want to ruin your talented compatriot, do you?"

Zhang Cheng, an old sports media person, naturally knows what Conte means. He nodded and said seriously: "No problem, sir, we hope that he can grow up 'healthy' more than you do."

Conte smiled, and it seemed that the other party understood very well, so he got up to see off the guests.

"These European coaches are all cheaters. We're just interviewing them. What's the trouble? They can delay them for an hour or two at most, and they often trip us up." Wang Lei, who left the Vinovo training base, said An indignant expression.

Zhang Cheng, who was in his forties, smiled, and said to the guy who just graduated from college: "Xiao Wang, you are still young. I don't know the twists and turns, but most of the head coaches hate it to death. Those of us who work in the media, such as Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United, are one of them."

"A lot of media write irresponsibly for the sake of sales and circulation, and make random comments. In the end, it is these players who suffer."

"So most of the head coaches will not easily let them be interviewed for the sake of their players, especially this kind of new players who are not deeply involved in the world. They are easy to be eaten by reporters. So we must write something. Think twice."

Wang Lei nodded thoughtfully.

Young people who have just graduated are easy to take care of, although they have no experience and are impulsive.But they are full of enthusiasm and hard work. Those who come out of the ivory tower often believe in the beauty of this world, and our group of old people... Hey, we have reached the point where we are shameless because of the annual bonus.

On the training ground the next day, Conte told Li Zihan about the interview, and Li Zihan agreed after thinking about it.

For such a showy thing, there is a problem with the person who refuses...

At the end, Conte told Li Zihan not to answer questions that he didn’t understand, and he either said he didn’t know or kept silent about the things he didn’t pay attention to—Conte was afraid that Li Zihan would be tricked by the reporters.

Li Zihan met Zhang Cheng and Wang Lei in the interview room of the training base during the training break at noon. Basically, every club's training base has interview rooms, meeting rooms, and press conference halls.

Zhang Cheng is a middle-aged man who is a bit blessed, always has a faint smile on his face, and he looks like the kind of "glib" person.

And Wang Lei could tell at a glance that this guy was a stunned young man who had just graduated, and when he saw Li Zihan, his face was a little excited.

"Hello, Li Zihan. We are reporters from the domestic "Sports Weekly". I am Zhang Cheng, and he is my assistant Wang Lei." Zhang Cheng introduced himself.

Li Zihan shook hands with them respectively.

"This time we are here mainly to interview you, that is, to ask you a few questions, and then take a few photos of your training. Let domestic readers and fans get to know you, and you must know that you have been very popular in China recently." After sitting down, Zhang Cheng went straight to the topic.

"I know, I often read Weibo when I'm free. To a large extent, I can learn about some domestic affairs on Weibo, such as which movie is about to be released, that celebrity has an affair, and that urban management beats people." That's it, that corrupt official is gone." Li Zihan made a joke with a smile.
