World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 398 Media Meeting
"Mr. Gao Yuan, do you think that as a Chinese, you can control a Portuguese super battleship like Maritimo?"

It was a middle-aged man with blond curly hair in the front row who asked this question.

As soon as this question came out, the air at the scene seemed to stagnate. This question obviously had some racial discrimination.

Gao Yuan was slightly displeased, but he still replied politely: "I think many qualities are needed to become an excellent sailor, but nationality and race are obviously not among these qualities."

The middle-aged reporter who asked the question seemed to realize that the question he just asked was inappropriate, so he continued: "Mr. Gao Yuan, don't get me wrong, I am not a racist, and I have a high respect for your country and nation. It's just—"

Suddenly, he changed the subject, "It is an indisputable fact that the level of Chinese football is very low. As a coach from a country with weak football, do you think you have the ability to guide Portuguese players?"

Gao Yuan frowned, this guy was obviously here to find fault.

Gao Yuan held back his breath and asked, "I didn't ask for advice, your name and name."

"I'm Duncan Canthus, columnist for A BOIE."

It turned out to be your kid!Gao Yuan cursed secretly in his heart.He still remembered that when he first came to Portugal, this guy was the one who scolded him the most in the newspapers.

"Mr. Kansas, there is an old saying in China that Lu Yao knows horsepower, and time will tell people's hearts. If you want to know whether I am competent, please pay attention to my next performance in leading the team, instead of presupposing positions in advance and making judgments for granted."

Gao Yuan's answer was neither humble nor overbearing, and did not allow Kansas to take any advantage.

But Kansas was still unyielding, and continued to ask sharp questions, as if he would not give up until he cut off a piece of meat with this knife-like question.

"Mr. Gao Yuan, as far as I know, you don't have any professional league experience. Although you have achieved pretty good results in Brazil, it is not a professional league after all, it is just a regional championship. And considering your age and resume, some people suspect that in your coaching staff, the former DB team coach Ballista may have played a greater role. But this time, there is no Ballista in your team. Do we have reason to doubt your coaching experience?"

This is very unreasonable. On the one hand, it denies Gao Yuan's brilliant achievements in Brazil, and on the other hand, he attributes the main reason for Gao Yuan's success to other people without any basis.

Wang Zi, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but said angrily: "What you said is completely your subjective conjecture, without any factual basis. Could it be that the Portuguese media can just say whatever they want without conducting research and research before publishing their remarks?"

Gao Yuan wanted to stop Wang Zi, but the incident happened suddenly, and Wang Zi's words had already been spoken, so it was hard to stop.

Kansas is like a poisonous snake, deliberately provoking the Chinese, always ready to catch mistakes in their answers, and then exploit them.

Now he finally got his chance.

"Mr. Wang Zi, I don't know what your China is like, but Portugal is a free and democratic country, and our media enjoys freedom of speech. Please don't use your ideology to judge my system and culture. In addition, our media upholds the glorious tradition of freedom of the press, and you can fully express your views and speeches. Does this make you Chinese feel uncomfortable?"

Kansas sneered and said that he deliberately went online, and he wanted to portray these Chinese people as autocratic and ignorant, opposing Portuguese culture.

Gao Yuan glanced at the club press officer beside him, but saw that the other party didn't have the slightest intention to come forward to make a rescue or stop asking questions.

There are only two explanations for this behavior, either the press officer is an idiot, or they are in the same gang.Although this press officer can't be said to be slick, but at least he seems to have a normal IQ, so there is only one truth, and someone is behind his back.

Hehe, some people are really vengeful!
Gao Yuan gently pressed Wang Zi's shoulder with his hand, motioning for himself to answer this question.

"Mr. Kansas, you misunderstood what my players meant. We have no disrespect for your country's media at all. Going back to the question just now, although the Sao Paulo State Championship is a regional championship game, you, as a senior reporter from the Portuguese media, must be more familiar with the weight of teams such as Sao Paulo, Palmeiras, Corinthians, and Santos than me, a visitor from the Far East. In addition, you think I have no experience in professional leagues and lack of experience. I just want to say that the great Prince Henry has never had experience in sailing. Influence him to be recognized as the greatest navigator in the world!"

Prince Henry (1394-1460), the Prince of Portugal, was known as the "navigator" because he set up a nautical school and rewarded nautical careers. He promoted Portugal's age of great voyages. With his support, Portugal became the most powerful maritime overlord of that era.He has also become the most respected great man in the hearts of the Portuguese people!
Gao Yuan cited the example of Prince Henry in order to win the cultural identity of the Portuguese media present.Sure enough, as soon as this remark came out, all the Portuguese present nodded, and even the aggressive Kansas couldn't continue to make excuses on this issue, because Gao Yuan pulled up the banner as a tiger's skin, and denying Gao Yuan was tantamount to denying Prince Henry's navigator status.

Although Gao Yuan has dealt with this problem, the dissatisfaction in his heart has accumulated more and more, and the chewing gum in his mouth seems to be a little bitter.

Kansas's task today is to make trouble, to make the newcomers of China stumble in front of the media.But Gao Yuan was like a Tai Chi master, using softness to overcome rigidity, and dispelled all his heavy punches invisible. He didn't get any benefits at all, so he set his target on Wang Zi who came with him.

"Mr. Wang Zi, as far as I know, you are the direct descendant of coach Gao Yuan. No matter from China or to Brazil, you have followed Gao Yuan closely. Now that you have come to Portugal together again, I want to know why you have such a close relationship. Is his tactics inseparable from you? Or he has special care for you. If you leave him, you will not be able to gain a foothold in other teams?"

Anger flashed on Wang Zi's handsome face. He was young and full of vigor, how could he bear such arrogance, besides, the other party not only insulted himself, but also insulted his most respected high-ranking director, which is tolerable or unbearable!

Just when Wang Zi was about to explode, Gao Yuan turned off Wang Zi's microphone, and then stared coldly at Kansas sitting in the front row opposite without saying a word.

For a while, no one knew what was going to happen, and the hall fell into an eerie silence.

There was only the sound of Gao Yuan chewing gum.

Kansas was stared at by Gao Yuan. He didn't understand why this young Chinese could have such a great power.

Suddenly, Gao Yuan spit out the bitter chewing gum in his mouth in one gulp, but he just slapped it right between Kanses' eyebrows.

"Next question," Gao Yuan said coldly.

Like a furious lion, Kansas jumped up, trying to rush up to find Gao Yuan, but the club's security guards, staff and other reporters dragged him out of the media meeting hall.

After being disturbed by Kansas, the media meeting broke up unhappy.

However, the Maritimo Club and the media reporters from all walks of life know one thing, that is, this new Chinese head coach is a ruthless character, not to be trifled with!
