block?

In the offices of the Manchester Telegraph, a middle-aged man stood up with only a lock of hair on the back of his head, his mouth wide enough to hold two eggs.

He is Davies, editor-in-chief of the Manchester Telegraph.

He concocted the news about the "Kaka and Eriksson fight".

Although he added vague words such as "allegedly" and "according to revelations" in some clips, the influence of his report was still very large, as can be seen from the crowd of reporters at Manchester City's training base the next day.

And with this report, the sales volume of this issue of "Manchester Telegraph" is also the highest in the past year!

All these make Davis, who is the editor-in-chief, quite proud.

On the one hand, the sales of newspapers have increased, and on the other hand, it can also hit Manchester City, which he hates, by the way.

The best of both worlds.

But now, someone dares to block a media? !
Isn't this a joke?

In the West, the media is called the "fourth power" besides administrative legislation and judiciary, which shows the status of the media in society.

"Yes, Manchester City has already issued an announcement. Their head coach threatened that whether it is Manchester City's pre-match or post-match press conference, or any other activities, we will not allow them to participate!"

"damn it!!"

Bald Davis is furious!

The Chinaman! !

How dare he do this? ! !
Does he know what he is doing?

Block the media! ?
Such tricks can be used, which made Davis furious, but at the same time, he didn't know what to do for a while.

Although the media is the "fourth power", it is the uncrowned king.

But Gao Bo didn't block all the media, just his family.

The Manchester Telegraph is just a regional newspaper whose influence is limited to Manchester. What power can they have?
Their energy, of course, is nothing more than shaking the pen on the newspaper.

"We lodged a solemn protest against the Manchester City club's interference with press freedom. We are a formal media organization. We have the right to participate in any pre-match and post-match press conferences organized by the Football Association. Manchester City has no right to refuse our interview. Gao Bo's current behavior is interfering with press freedom and suppressing freedom of speech!!!"

The next day, the Manchester Telegraph sternly protested in its report.

Soon, Gao Bo responded.

On February 20th, at the press conference before the match against Southampton in the sixth round of League No.[-].

Since it was an away game, the "Manchester Telegraph" still got the chance to enter the field.

But when they got the chance to ask questions, Gao Bo refused to give any answer.

"Anyone else have questions?"

Gao Bo saw that the scene had fallen into silence, so he stood up straight away, ready to leave.

At this time, a reporter couldn't stand it anymore.

"This is England, Mr. Gao Bo! I want you to show enough respect for the freedom of the press in the UK!"

"I respect the freedom of the press! Sir!" Gao Bo turned his head and said, "I have the freedom not to accept interviews!"

The reporter choked, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, other reporters stood up.

"You have no right to block The Manchester Telegraph."

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Bo reached out to stop the other party: "This newspaper spread rumors and caused troubles. It has no sense of media responsibility at all. It's just a moth in the media circle. I'll say the same thing. Either they have to produce evidence to prove the authenticity of their reports, or they have to publish an apology to my players and my team in the newspaper! Otherwise, they don't want to enter the press conference hall of Manchester City!"

After speaking, Gao Bo walked out of the press conference hall.

In this way, the pre-match press conference against Southampton really didn't have much content about the game.
Davis, the editor-in-chief of the "Manchester Telegraph", has no other options now, and his pressure has become unprecedented.

Because the main readers of The Manchester Telegraph are Manchester locals.

If they can't get any first-hand news about Manchester City, it is equivalent to losing more than half of Manchester's market-in Manchester, the number of Manchester City fans is definitely not lower than that of Manchester United fans!

For a tabloid that can only survive in this area of ​​Manchester, losing half of its readers' subscriptions is undoubtedly a huge loss, and even poses a threat to the survival of the newspaper.

Davis is a Manchester United fan, but it does not mean that the "Manchester Telegraph" is a media that favors Manchester United.

Therefore, if the newspaper's sales decline, Davis, as the editor-in-chief, undoubtedly needs to bear the main responsibility.

Now in front of Davis, there is a way to get rid of the pressure soon.

Didn't Manchester City say that as long as they apologize in the newspaper and admit that they are cowardly, the matter will be over.

But Davis is unwilling! !
Although he has no evidence of the fight between Kaka and Eriksson-in fact, this matter was fabricated by Davis after hearing about it, how could there be evidence!

But what era is it now.

Now is the era of information explosion.

There are a lot of fake news, when did Gao Bo become a master of counterfeiting?

Davis only felt that he was unlucky. Fabricated news is nothing new in the media circle.

When there is no news to write, just say "allegedly", "according to inside information", "according to unnamed person's revelation", the following news can be written casually, right?
Of course, it can't be casual, even if it is made up, it has to be made up with some logic.

In Davis' view, the conflict between Kaka and Eriksson has logic.

How could Eriksson, who was robbed of the main position, be willing in his heart.

Since he is unwilling, it is possible to have a conflict with Kaka.

Davis felt he was reasonable.

But there was another thing that kept him going.

That is, is Kaka a temporary outbreak, or has he really recovered his peak level?

On this point, public opinion in England has mixed reactions.

But Davis firmly believes that there are hands and feet here.

A 30-year-old veteran who has gone downhill for two or three years, suddenly regained his peak?

Who can believe this kind of thing!
Davis believes that in the next game, Kaka will definitely be the focus of the disciplinary committee's doping center. At that time, it will be even more difficult for Gao Bo to play tricks!
He decided to wait until after this game, if Kaka does not perform well. That is his chance to play Davis!
I fucking wrote you to death!

Davis stroked his bald head and grinned.

In fact, discussions about Kaka's status continue.

Many media even believe that Gao Bo may not dare to start Kaka in the game against Southampton.

Even if there is no problem with Kaka, what if he is not in good condition?
In this case, wouldn't it be impossible to wash it off even if it fell into the Yellow River.

Some media believe that Gao Bo should let Kaka continue to prove his strength!

Anyway, Kaka basically didn't play much in Real Madrid in the first half of the season, and his physical fitness is absolutely no problem.

But Gao Bo didn't pay attention to such remarks.

He also believes that Kaka will handle this issue by himself.

The pressure of the media is something that every player in England may encounter.

The media here is extremely developed, and the paparazzi of Fleet Street are watching all the troubles all the time.

In history, many stars chose to leave the Premier League because of this suffocating media environment.

Fortunately, Kaka's sinking in the past few years has made him used to such an unfriendly media environment.

He held back his energy and wanted to slap those media who looked down on and questioned him severely!
