Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 427 Live Call
Millwall Club, Office Building Meeting Room.

The club's press officer, Richardson, contacted various media more than two hours in advance and informed that a press conference would be held at [-] o'clock to respond to some recent news.

The media reporters also got news that Zhang Yang would appear at the press conference in person.

If it is a routine press conference, most of the time there is no head coach to participate, only the press officer will come forward to give some answers and responses to the recent internal and external games, player conditions and club affairs. It will be different if the head coach participates. Especially recently, the Spanish media have continuously reported that Zhang Yang is infinitely close to Real Madrid, so more media reporters want to interview Zhang Yang.

All the media in London rushed over as soon as they got the news.

By 05:30, there were already dozens of reporters on the scene, and many reporters arrived one after another.

Reporters are waiting in the venue.

They chatted with each other about the latest news, and they didn't look too anxious, because the news given by the Millwall club was that the press conference would be held at six o'clock, and the club's press conference would usually be held on time, but the head coach might not When six o'clock arrives, most of the time the press officer will preside first, and Shanshan will be late when the head coach is "free".

"Available" does not mean how busy the head coach is, but depends entirely on the head coach's mood.

During this period of time, the sky is dark and early, and the training of each team ends before five o'clock later. The head coaches are generally free, but most of the head coaches don't care about the so-called 'routine press conference' , For example, Manchester United coach Ferguson once bluntly used "drinking coffee just now" to explain the reason for his lateness.

The reporters who arrived all had the mental preparation of 'it will be good to see Zhang Yang at 06:30'.

That’s what Borto, a reporter from The Times in the front row, thinks. He is a football reporter, and he is generally in charge of various teams in the London area. The press conference will also act as a front-line reporter to interview the coaches and players of various teams.

"The Times" is one of the most influential media in the UK. Borto can naturally sit in the front row. The one sitting next to her is a female reporter. Borto has seen it many times. She is the representative of "Television Sports" Frieda.

In the past two years, "Television Sports" has developed rapidly and has become one of the largest online media in the UK. However, its online media scale and influence are difficult to compare with "The Times", let alone, "The Times" is mainly For offline businesses, the distribution of text newspapers is the main business. The scale and influence of the two are not at the same level. "Telecom Sports" can only be regarded as a "second-tier media".

Reporters representing the 'second-tier media' certainly cannot sit in the front row, but it's different at Millwall Club. Everyone knows the partnership between "Telegraph Sports" and Millwall. "Telegraph Sports" can be said to be Millwall. It is natural for journalists to sit in the front row, not to mention that Borto also knows some gossip: Frieda used to work for the BBC, and worked with Millwall coach Zhang Yang for a period of time.

This relationship is very close.

In the media circle, a reporter who has a personal friendly relationship with a celebrity is of great help to his work. Just pointing at the news of a celebrity is enough to support a reporter's work.

Zhang Yang is no ordinary star, he is the head coach of a club, and Millwall has many star players.

Frieda has this kind of relationship, and it is very easy to get news.

Borto was a little envious. He took the initiative to ask Frieda, "Is there any gossip? What is Zhang Yang going to say today?"

Frieda frowned and thought for a while, then hesitated and said, "Should it have something to do with the rumors from Spain?"

Recently, the hottest news related to Millwall is that Zhang Yang will be the assistant coach of Real Madrid, but tomorrow is the match day, so there must be an opportunity to be interviewed. What is the reason for rushing to hold a press conference today?

Borto couldn't figure it out, so he continued to ask Frieda to see if there was any inside information, and Frieda just shook her head and said, "I don't know the situation, otherwise I don't need to sit here and wait."

Bolto was right.

There was a sudden noise from behind, Borto stood up and looked over, and found that other people were looking out of the door, and then he noticed that two people walked in together, one of them was the press officer Richardson, and the other was... ... publicity! ?

It is publicity!

"Come so early?" Borto was a little surprised.

Many people in the venue were as surprised as Borto. Usually, the head coaches of various clubs are late to attend the press conference. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang would arrive early, and he even came 10 minutes earlier.

Really dedicated!

Many reporters who were thinking of 'missing the dinner time and waiting an extra hour' were immediately moved, and immediately looked at Zhang Yang who was sitting on the stage with fiery eyes.

Borto immediately raised his hand to ask questions.

Just as Zhang Yang sat down, he tried to adjust the microphone. When he saw someone raising his hand, he immediately coughed lightly, waved his hand to signal for silence, and then said, "Don't ask anything, don't say anything, everyone keep quiet. Calderon, the president of Real Madrid, will call and I think you will get what you want to know."

Hearing what Zhang Yang said, the reporters were about to stuff an egg into their mouths, and then there was a 'hula', and the scene became heated. Everyone started discussing it, and the press officer immediately reminded loudly, "Keep quiet!"

Zhang Yang added, "If anyone makes any noise and disturbs my conversation with Mr. Calderon, I'm sorry, but I can only invite you out."

"..."

Immediately, the scene became extremely quiet, and the reporters were very cautious in their discussions. At the same time, everyone's eyes were burning, and they were very excited and looking forward to it.

Zhang Yang wants to talk to Calderon?

Probably in front of everyone, let's talk about Real Madrid's invitation to be an assistant coach?

This is the big news!
----

Zhang Yang put the phone on the table, then raised Erlang's legs and waited leisurely.

The reporters in the audience also waited.

1 minutes.

5 minutes.

Soon it was six o'clock, but the phone didn't ring. Zhang Yang frowned, thinking whether he should ask about Andy's situation, otherwise it would be embarrassing if the other party didn't call.

Zhang Yang didn't show it, but he was still a little impatient. He stared at the phone screen carefully.

1 minutes.

2 minutes.

3 minutes... Time seemed to slow down. At [-]:[-], the screen of the mobile phone finally lit up, and a number reminder from Madrid, Spain appeared on the screen. Zhang Yang smiled slightly and showed the screen to the reporters After taking a look, he turned on the speakerphone, pointed the phone's microphone at the microphone, and lightly pressed the 'Answer' button.

Immediately from the opposite side came a voice in Spanish, "Hello."

Zhang Yang: "Hi, sorry, I'm not used to speaking Spanish, please use English."

The other side was silent for a while, "Okay, is this Mr. Zhang, the head coach of Millwall?"

Zhang Yang: "Yes."

Opposite: "I'm Real Madrid Sports Manager Mijatovic. In the afternoon, I contacted your agent, Mr. Andy. He said that you hope to have a direct conversation with Mr. Calderon?"

Zhang Yang: "Yes, I said so, what about Mr. Calderon?"

Mijatovic: "He's here too. Wait a minute."

While waiting, Zhang Yang picked up his mobile phone and smiled towards the audience. All the reporters held their breath for fear of disturbing the special scene. Some of them had recording pens, almost all of them were turned on, and all kinds of camera equipment They kept shooting, and everyone knew that there must be big news that caused a sensation in Europe.

Soon there was another voice from the opposite side, with a slightly crooked English tone, "Hello, I'm Calderon, is this Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Yang: "Hi, Mr. Calderon, I'm Zhang Yang."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Calderon expressed his attitude of inviting Zhang Yang, "I believe you heard that Real Madrid sincerely invites you to join, so what do you think? What are the conditions, we can say now, if we If you can promise, you will try your best to promise.”

Calderon adopted the attitude of 'delaying'. Even if Zhang Yang wanted to join immediately, he still hoped to delay for a while, so that more news could be reported by the outside world, and by the way, let the fans know how difficult the process of poaching Zhang Yang is. .

So when talking with Zhang Yang, he would first ask Zhang Yang what conditions he had, and then he would say 'consider it', and release the news by the way, and give a reply after a week.

This can drag on for a long time.

Zhang Yang doesn't have time to play charades with Calderon, let alone think about Calderon's thoughts, "Conditions? No, no, I think you made a mistake, Mr. Calderon? I'm not interested in going to Real Madrid, As an assistant coach."

"In addition, let me remind you, Mr. Calderon, no matter what conditions you promise, I am not interested in being a bargaining chip for you to buy people's hearts!"

Calderon was surprised by the word-by-word standard English answer. His English level was not so fluent, and he thought he had heard it wrong. "What?"

Zhang Yang repeated, "I said, thank you for your kindness. I don't plan to leave Millwall, nor do I consider going to Real Madrid as an assistant coach. I have no such plan."

----

After Mijatovic noticed that Calderon said 'what', the smile on his face froze.

He couldn't hear what was said on the other end of the phone, but he knew that his bad feeling had come true.

The answer given by the other party is definitely not an agreed answer.

As for why they disagreed, probably Calderon and Zhang Yang knew about it.

What Mijatovic didn't know was that a large group of reporters were listening to the conversation between the two, and every word in it was recorded by the reporters, and he quickly understood it.

Calderon didn't know either.

When he heard Zhang Yang's refusal, he realized that the first sentence he said was 'a bargaining chip to buy people's hearts'.

A bargaining chip to buy people's hearts?
It’s good to know this kind of thing in private. It would be too embarrassing to say it out. Calderon was immediately annoyed, but he remained calm. Agree, as long as delay for a period of time, can also achieve a certain purpose.

Calderon suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and continued to "patiently" persuade, "Real Madrid is a giant in Spain and Europe. We are the best team. At your age, even if you come to Real Madrid as an assistant coach, It is also a pretty good opportunity. And as long as you work for a few years, you will have the opportunity to actually coach Real Madrid..."

"In addition, don't think about winning people's hearts and the like. I admit that there are considerations in this regard for inviting you to Real Madrid, but I also really appreciate you. We are willing to offer a higher salary contract than the first-line coaches. I believe you will not reject……"

Zhang Yang listened patiently for a long time, then asked with a smile, "It's more expensive than the first-line coaches? How much?"

"How about an annual salary of more than 500 million euros? This salary is comparable to that of the top stars."

"It's really tempting." Zhang Yang laughed, "Unfortunately, I'm still not interested. I appreciate your appreciation, but it doesn't mean I will accept your invitation. In addition, I don't think Real Madrid is better than Milwaukee. Erqiang, if you don’t believe me, I will prove it to you in the Champions League in February, beating Real Madrid at the Bernabeu might be a good match.”

Calderon never expected that Zhang Yang would refuse so simply. When he was about to say something again, he heard a sentence from the other side that almost kicked him into the abyss——
"By the way, Mr. Calderon, I forgot to tell you that I am holding a press conference here. Because of the rumors in the media recently, I am planning to clarify the rumors to the reporters, so our dialogue is open, and I believe that , journalists heard what they were interested in."

"That's it, then. Bye!"

"Beep beep..."

----

The moment the phone was put down, there was a sudden boom in the venue, and the reporters couldn't hold back any longer, and excitedly discussed.

This live news is too hot!

The whole conversation with Calderon was broadcast live, and the content was even more exciting. Calderon even admitted that inviting Zhang Yang to join Real Madrid was a 'means to win people's hearts'.

This is crazy!
Looking at the discussion in the audience, Zhang Yang coughed lightly and then said, "I believe you got what you wanted, so the press conference is over here. Sorry, there is still a game tomorrow, so I will leave early."

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he left the scene.

The excitement of the reporters had no effect because of his departure, just like Zhang Yang said 'you got what you want', isn't it?In the phone recording just now, there was a lot of nonsense, but a few very crucial sentences were quickly dug out.

There is another quite classic--
Zhang Yang: "Mr. Calderon, no matter what conditions you promise, I'm not interested in being a bargaining chip for you to buy people's hearts."

Calderon: "Don't think about winning people's hearts or anything. I admit that I have this consideration in inviting you to Real Madrid..."

Calderon admitted that 'inviting publicity is a way to win people's hearts'!

As long as the news is reported, it will definitely cause a big shock in Real Madrid, and the reporters can't help but prepare to read Real Madrid's jokes!
