ball at foot

Zhao Yaning did not expect that the reporters would have arrived before Christmas.At the end of the day's training, Zhao Yaning met the reporter who came to interview him at his home.

"Hello, I'm Li Fangqiong, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency. I'm very glad that you accept my interview."

Of course you are very happy.Zhang Yuan couldn't help saying something in his heart.

All CCTV wanted for the program was a 5-minute clip, but these guys insisted on sending a five-member team to Monaco to interview Zhao Yaning.It was said that he wanted to interview, but in fact, didn't he come here to travel because he saw Zhao Yaning spend money and found a fool?

But now that you've come, don't say what you shouldn't say. [

"Shall we start now? Don't you need some makeup?"

Li Fangqiong looked Zhao Yaning up and down, and her eyes made Zhao Yaning immediately feel disgusted.What the hell do these guys do?Are they really sports reporters?Do athletes still need makeup for interviews?

"These are reporters from the special column group, please cooperate." Zhang Yuan reminded Zhao Yaning from the side, and Zhao Yaning nodded, but still declined the suggestion of makeup.

"We noticed that when you returned home today, it was already five o'clock in the evening, and it's already the winter break. Are you still training?"

The reporter spoke in a calm tone, and Zhao Yaning’s anxiety eased a lot, “Yes, the coach told me that I need to accumulate energy this winter and prepare for the second half of the season, so I still have to go to the club every day now. Get training."

"You can't ask for leave even for an interview?" Li Fangqiong was slightly dissatisfied.

Her dissatisfaction is naturally justified.She came to Zhao Yaning’s house at 10 o’clock in the morning hoping to interview, but Zhao Yaning was not here.After contacting Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan took them around Monaco and asked them to interview Zhao Yaning at night.Although they had a good time this day, Zhao Yaning's attitude of not paying attention to them made Li Fangqiong a little unhappy.

She has never been treated like this in Taiwan.When I heard that it was an interview with CCTV, who would dare to put on airs for her among those high-ranking officials, rich people, and celebrities?Waiting here for a day made her very unhappy.

"Sorry, I didn't know you were here. The coach didn't allow us to use phones in the locker room or on the training ground, so we were cut off from the outside world as soon as we stepped on the training ground. I didn't know until I came back."

This statement made Li Fangqiong look better, "Is your coach Deschamps?"

"Well, it's Mr. Deschamps." Zhao Yaning nodded and made some explanations, "This regulation is to prevent us from not training well when we are in the team, and it is very helpful to us."

Li Fangqiong didn't refute him, but just wrote it down, "Then, let's start our interview officially. First of all, I want to ask, you came to France nearly two years ago, during these two years, you were able to gain a foothold in France , must have gone through a long time of hard work. May I ask what impressed you the most?"

"The club's regulations are completely different from those in China." Zhao Yaning thought for a while and said, "Our club has a diet, we have to weigh every week, and there are regulations on rest time. These things are domestic, but there are others. Things, there are no regulations in domestic clubs. For example, we require that in the locker room, no phone calls, no newspapers, and all kinds of things to kill time are not allowed. At the same time, in the club, it is stipulated that you must shake hands with your opponent every game, and you must go to the club every day. The first thing to do must be to say hello to your teammates. There are also rules on wearing club uniforms in public, and the use of some appellations. These things are very different from those in China. There are no special rules for such things in China, but here very strict."

"What's the use of these things?" Li Fangqiong was a little puzzled.

"It can make the atmosphere of the club better and everyone's relationship better." Zhao Yaning scratched his head. During training, if you make a good move, your teammates will applaud you, and if you score a good goal, your teammates will celebrate. Here, you can easily feel everyone’s kindness and encourage you to play well. Everyone gets to know each other quickly, and this atmosphere helps me a lot.”

If it's domestic, it's probably like taking the whole team out for a meal, a drink, or even a night with a woman.Zhang Yuan thought silently beside him that the difference in soft culture was actually no less than the problem of technical training.It's just this question that this reporter can't understand.

"Who do you think helped you the most during this time in France?" The reporter asked another question.

"It's hard to say. Coach Kubis was the first person to appreciate me. He brought me to Ajaccio and was willing to give me the main position. Coach Petit was the one who taught me the most technically. Man, he let me know what real football is. And Sebastian, he has been my teammate for the past two years, helping me to get familiar with the team and adapt to life, he has helped me a lot. And Zhang elder brother……"

Zhang Yuan stood in the distance and waved at him, telling him to stop talking. [

"Okay, it seems that you have a good stay in France, and there are many kind-hearted people helping you." The reporter recorded Zhao Yaning's words, "So, did you encounter a lot of hardships in France alone? For example, racial discrimination or something ? It should be difficult for Europeans to accept people of yellow race?"

This question made Zhao Yaning embarrassed, "I'm sorry, the club has regulations. Questions like this that involve race, religion, politics, etc. are not allowed to answer."

Football clubs always encounter some similar problems. These sensitive topics are related to sports, but they have a great impact when spoken out by players.Although Monaco does not attach great importance to such issues like Real Madrid and Barcelona in Spain, there are also relevant regulations in the club.

"Even facing the media like Xinhua News Agency, can't you be flexible?" Li Fangqiong said with a smile.

It’s okay to be nice to others, especially you can’t talk nonsense.You are China Central Television, what will I do if you give me a big hat for provoking racial relations?

"There are no exceptions. Football is about politics. These things are not allowed to be mentioned. And there is nothing to say about these aspects. It's all good."

Zhao Yaning still didn't dare to say nothing at all, so he could only try to say something on the sidelines.But this kind of attitude made Li Fangqiong very dissatisfied. She snorted coldly and continued, "Then, let's talk about the national team. You should know that Yao Ming of the Basketball Association signed an agreement with the national team." , always obey the call of the national team, the World Championships, the Asian Games, and the Olympic Games are willing to return to China at any time. Why didn’t you sign a similar agreement with the Football Association?”

Zhao Yaning didn't know how to answer this question.He discussed this issue with Zhang Yuan, and it was very clear from the discussion between the two at that time: this kind of agreement can be verbal, but it cannot be on paper. After all, NB is just an American professional basketball league, and it doesn't have much power. If Yao Ming wants to return to China to participate in the competition, they can't control it, and they are not qualified to control it.But in the football circle, this is not acceptable.Who knows what the coach is thinking?If such a thing is signed, what if the coach won't let him go?The Football Association is indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful the Football Association is, the AFC and FIFA are still in charge of it. The Football Association is under the management of the General Administration of Sports and the Football Federation. Offended, such a matter of great importance is not in the hands of the Football Association.

"Sports are different, and situations are different." Regarding this question, Zhao Yaning could only vaguely pass, "But when the national team needs me, I am absolutely obliged."

The reporter nodded and wrote these down, "Then, can I ask an extra question about things other than football. You know, domestic fans care about you very much, and many people want to know more about you. Would you like to reveal some personal information to us?"

"This..." Zhao Yaning looked at Zhang Yuan's gesture, "No problem."

"You have a very high income now. Have you ever thought about doing something to repay the society, the country, and the elders in your hometown for their kindness in raising you?"

Zhao Yaning could see that Zhang Yuan’s face sank not far away.But he is willing to talk about this issue, "Well, I have thought about it. I can't help you with other things. I just want to set up a football training base in China and train some players. I know Some Africans are doing this, and I also want to learn their methods and make some contributions to the country."

"Our country is not Africa. I don't think you need to pay for this money. It is enough for you to use your reputation to make some contributions to the country." Li Fangqiong continued, "Well, let's talk about your private life. Is it? Everyone is also very concerned about this."

"No big deal, just normal training, games and then going home to rest..."

"What about entertainment?" Li Fangqiong asked, "For example, playing computer games or something? And what kind of food do you usually eat here in France? Do you have any favorite dishes?"

"Recreational activities are playing table tennis or billiards. These things are available in the Latubi base. Besides, they sometimes go out to ride bicycles. I don't think it's fun, so I don't go there very much." Zhao Yaning tried hard to recall his own Things, "We usually eat nutritious meals at the base, and the coach doesn't allow us to eat outside. But the nutritious meals are very good. Recently, the coach found a place that sells pasta, which is responsible for cooking for us."

Li Fangqiong recorded this, and then raised her head again, "Very well, thank you, then, can I talk about your personal issues? Do you have a girlfriend? Can you tell me something about her?"

"Yes." Zhao Yaning still blushed when he said this, "But I can't talk about her. She won't let me talk about it."

Zhang Yuan sighed, throwing embarrassment to the whole country, is there anyone who is afraid of this kind of thing to talk about?

"Since this is the case, then I have nothing to ask. Finally, I wish you good results in France and you can play even better." Li Fangqiong chatted with Zhao Yaning for a while before saying goodbye to Zhao Yaning, and left with Zhang Yuan Zhao Yaning’s home.

"What's the matter with him?" Li Fangqiong's face changed as soon as he left Zhao Yaning's house. Say it! We are journalists, so we can’t say anything! We are helping him, why does he ask so many questions! There is something wrong with his attitude. How can we have such an attitude towards interviews? We have no interviews in the upper department. No one dares to speak to us like that.”[

Zhang Yuan cursed secretly in his heart, why didn't you say these words just now?You know that the higher-ups have decided to make a special program for Zhao Yaning, you can’t afford to provoke Zhao Yaning, so take me as a manager to vent your anger, right?

But you're quite right to be so angry, I really can't afford to offend you.

Zhang Yuan accompanied the smiling face, and it took a long time for Li Fangqiong to calm down, "However, we still have a task tomorrow. We have to go to the Monaco Club to interview Didier Deschamps and the assistant coach. You can arrange it."

I arrange it?I arrange things for Club Monaco?You think highly of me.

Zhang Yuan muttered a few words silently in his heart, but he also knew that he had to do this matter himself.

Hope nothing goes wrong.
