our champion dream

Chapter 84 The first press conference in life
After the game, Li Xiaoming, who was holding champagne in the player tunnel, was stopped by all the reporters, whether they were from England or from China.

Everyone can see who the best player in this game is, and his debut itself is a big gimmick.

Li Xiaoming, whose jersey was still wet, stood in front of the background board printed with the sponsor's LOGO, and was bombarded by the reporters.

"Have you thought about playing in this game? Well, no, I thought it would be fine just to attend the awards ceremony." Li Xiaoming shook his head, "But as a substitute player, don't you want to be ready to play at any time? Are you ready?"

"Did Ferguson encourage me before playing? Yes, including on the court, none of my teammates encouraged me to play at my own level."

"How does it feel to debut? Well, it actually feels the same as the warm-up match, except that the number of spectators is larger. This is a game, even just a high-level warm-up match. I am very happy to win To the Championship, but I don't want the curse of the Community Shield to come to Manchester United, of course, my personal performance is not bad, I am very happy."

"How do you comment on the teammates? Everyone is very good, they take good care of me, and cooperate with me. I know that I am only a rookie, and I am very happy to receive the support of my teammates. Without their support and cooperation, I would have It is impossible to have such a performance. After all, football is a team sport, and it is not as important as a team to win the limelight..."

"What, you said my goals were covered? How do you know, this reporter has a good eye! I also hope you can support me a lot. I promise that I will cover up once or twice when I have the opportunity."

The reporters laughed.

Li Xiaoming answered everyone's questions one by one, neither hurried nor slow, neither humble nor overbearing, coping very calmly.The Chinese journalists who did not ask questions were watching him, surprised and appreciative of his performance.Professional players, especially Chinese professional players, always give people the impression that their limbs are not well developed, but their minds are simple.Talking and doing things are always full of slots, which can easily lead to hatred and dissatisfaction.

But soon, Ferguson took Li Xiaoming away, and he had to attend an official press conference.Many reporters followed suit.

Li Xiaoming followed carefully with his head down. It was his first time attending a press conference. He glanced at Chelsea's coach Carlo Ancelotti on the rostrum. He had already sat on the rostrum with Lampard.At this time, Ferguson walked in, countless flashing lights flashed, and Li Xiaoming's eyes dangling behind him had to be narrowed.

Ferguson nodded towards the reporter sitting on the seat, and then sat down.He glanced at the host who hosted the press conference.

Li Xiaoming sat down and turned his head to meet Lampard's gaze. He nodded and smiled slightly, and Chelsea's deputy also smiled and nodded at Li Xiaoming.

As soon as the buttocks were seated firmly, the host announced the start of the press conference, and the reporters quickly asked questions enthusiastically.

A reporter stood up and said: "Two coaches, I am a reporter from the Guardian. What do you think of this game?"

Ancelotti said: "I think the result is a bit disappointing for us, after all, we were the better team to some extent, but for some reasons, we lost the game."

Ferguson slightly pursed his lips and smiled: "I don't have any opinion. Manchester United won the victory, but I want to say that this victory is not personal, but the whole team."

As soon as Ferguson's words came out, many reporters understood that the old man was trying to protect Li Xiaoming, trying to keep this kid from being noticed by so many people.But the reporter will not let him do so.

As the least busy media in the British media industry, the reporter of "The Sun" straightened his back and said: "Starting from tonight, I think Li Xiaoming's name will become famous in England, Europe and even the world." , then I would like to ask, are the Jazz satisfied with his performance?"

Ferguson covered his forehead and exclaimed, damn it, he was still asked this kind of question, but after calming down for a while, Ferguson glared at the reporter angrily, and said: "Li Xiaoming is a genius, no doubt he is one of Manchester United's great players this summer. Important signings. To be honest, I didn't expect him to play so well. In fact, I replaced him just to ensure the state of Scholes. After all, this is just a Community Shield. Our real challenge is still there The league, the Champions League. As for Li Xiaoming, I think he is just doing what he should do. I am very satisfied with his performance, but what young people need is to continue to work hard to keep improving."

The reporter of The Sun was obviously very dissatisfied with Ferguson's indiscriminate talk about him, and continued: "In the second half of the game, Li Xiaoming helped Manchester United win the championship with two goals. the starting lineup."

Ferguson was already a little angry at this time, but he suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "No, I don't think so, I admit that this kid has very high talents, and even his future is not in some But now what he needs is time to learn and experience real professional football, I can only promise that he will get enough playing time, that's all."

All quiet. . .The Sun newspaper reporter obviously wanted to continue chatting about this issue, but soon Ferguson's microphone was moved to his face by Li Xiaoming.

All the media looked at Li Xiaoming in unison. Li Xiaoming suddenly felt like a frog being targeted by a snake. He swallowed and coughed lightly, and said, "That Sun reporter, well, I know you are very famous in England. Newspaper, I am very glad that you can pay attention to my performance, but I think my boss is right, I still need to learn a lot from Paul and the others, and they are all very good to me. I can’t explain anything, although I know that I’m really good, very good, super good, but I still hope that you can give me more space, when I can appear on the field with my consistent good and stable performance, I think that’s when I will When you guys can really compliment me. Thank you all for loving me."

The corner of Ferguson's mouth twitched. Although he was very satisfied with Li Xiaoming's game and what he said to the reporters, those boastful words still had a strong personal style.For the first time, he felt that this game should bring captain Gary Neville.

There were good-natured laughter off the court, and everyone liked the answer of this modest but very real young man.

A middle-aged man stood up and said, "Hi, I'm a reporter from the Daily Mail. I want to ask Li Xiaoming what you think about Chelsea."

Ancelotti, Ferguson, and Lampard gasped at the same time, but Li Xiaoming pondered for a while and said: "I think it is my blessing to be able to compete with so many stars, whether it is Coach Ancelotti , or Frank Lampard, John Terry, Michal Ballack, Petr Cech, and Didier Drogba I've only seen them on TV a year ago, I never imagined One day I can play with them. I think Chelsea are very strong, I respect this team, but at the same time I want to beat such a strong opponent, but this time I was lucky to beat them, but as the season progresses Chelsea It will become stronger and stronger, and our Manchester United will also become stronger and stronger, and we will compete against each other at that time and look forward to it."

The reporters looked at each other after hearing this. At that time, they felt that this kid was not a rookie. The way he answered was neither humble nor overbearing. From the left and right, he couldn't catch any loopholes at all.And Ancelotti and Lampard looked at Li Xiaoming curiously. The black-haired boy did answer very decently. He didn't embarrass his team or his opponent at all.

Seeing that there was no passion here, the reporter turned his guns to Ancelotti and Lampard.

"Mr. Frank Lampard, Mr. Carlo Ancelotti, what do you think of the performance of Manchester United's number seven?"

Lampard looked up at the light tube on the ceiling, thinking in his heart why he hadn't smashed the damn reporter to death, and said disappointedly after a long time: "I think his performance is very good, I am very happy that he is my fan, I am very happy. It's a pity that he didn't come to my team, but the transfer period is not over yet, anything is possible."

Lampard, whose IQ is as high as 180, can cause a commotion among reporters as soon as he speaks.

Ancelotti also went on to say: "A very talented young man. It is a pity that they did not choose to go to Chelsea when they came to Europe from China. If they came, I think our club will sign him desperately. After all, the conditions we can offer are very attractive. But for young people, they still need to continue to work hard."

After the routine press conference, the reporter was satisfied with getting some news materials to write about. After the two sides shook hands, they walked back to the locker room.

Ferguson walked in front, analyzing Li Xiaoming's mistakes in the game just now, while going to the locker room. After walking to the locker room and opening the door, he found that there was no one behind him.At this time, the passage next door, leading to Chelsea's dressing room, was packed with people, and then a group of shirtless men personally sent Li Xiaoming back to the passage of Manchester United's dressing room.Fortunately, there were no reporters at the scene. If it was impossible for this scene to be filmed, there might be fake news about the fight between Chelsea and Manchester United in the dressing room after the league.

One of the big black guys waved his hand at Li Xiaoming and said, "Li, come to London next time, come find me, and I'll treat you to something to eat."

And another man who was not angry and arrogant said: "Although you scored me two goals, I like you very much. If you can't get along there, come to me. Leo can't beat me."

Li Xiaoming waved at them, carried a big bag, walked to the dressing room, looked at the stunned Sir Ferguson and asked, "Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Ferguson narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a sneer, "Where have you been?"

Li Xiaoming didn't seem to feel the murderous look inside, he lowered his head and straightened the blue clothes inside and said, "I'll go over there to find them to get the ball uniforms. Name, and brought me a bag to put it in, in the future, I will go to Arsenal, Liverpool, and also when I am playing in the Champions League, these are very precious."

Ferguson said with a half-smile: "You kid, you don't mind collaborating with the enemy, but you still want to get it into the hands of that old guy Wenger, you kid, hehe."

Speaking of which, Ferguson kicked Li Xiaoming into the locker room, and shouted loudly: "Li, kid, ran to cooperate with the enemy, and he actually asked for an autograph from Chelsea."

After finishing speaking, Ferguson closed the door of the locker room.Then there was a scream from the door.

"Oh, Rooney, I'm not saying Lampard is better than you. You are the number one star in England."

"Leo, it was John who said he was better at hitting. Don't do that, I'm afraid of heights."

"Paul, don't look at me like that, you are a legend."

"...Don't slap your face, I still have to rely on my face to make a living."

"what!"

Ferguson was listening outside, and couldn't help showing an inexplicable smile.

That night, Li Xiaoming's performance against Chelsea had already appeared in the sports news of TV stations all over the world, and his goal was replayed over and over again.

The name of "Li Xiaoming" also began to be mentioned frequently, even though some announcers and hosts might not be able to pronounce his name well.

In China, the media are even more crazy about it.

The online media, in particular, gave full play to their quick response. Five minutes after the game ended, the first news feature had already appeared on the portal website.

In the middle of the night, I don’t know how many portal websites and traditional media office buildings are brightly lit, and reporters and editors are working overtime.

And the excited Chinese fans couldn't wait to watch the news reports. They swiped their screens and posted posts on some professional forums to express their excitement.

In the football forums, the Premier League section, Manchester United section, Chinese football section, and every big post bar were all "slaughtered" by Li Xiaoming's name.

All kinds of passionate speeches are full of people's attention.

"...I'm really convinced. I didn't expect Li Xiaoming's first appearance to be so amazing! To be honest, I feel like I have experienced a dream now! Two goals, a championship."

"Do you have a big translation of how foreign forums and media comment on the performance of this game? I really want to see it!"

"The latest news, the English media has already given the score for this game. Li Xiaoming, who came off the bench, scored 10 points! He was the best player in the game! He also won the champagne and trophy for the best player, the second floor Above the picture, there is a picture and the truth.!"

"How did the English media evaluate it?"

"It is said that the commentator of Sky TV who was in charge of explaining the game has become a fan of Li Xiaoming."

"It's amazing!"

"Li Xiaoming! Xiao Xiao! New hope for Chinese football!"

"This game is enough for me to play for a year! Dongfang Zhuo and others are all rubbish, and Li Cai is the No. 1 overseas student"

……

Li Qingru rubbed her reddish eyes, it was almost dawn and she was still awake because she was still chatting with a person far away in Europe, looking at the photos he was sending.The entire dressing room was covered by Li Xiaoming with 22 jerseys, including those from Chelsea and Manchester United. Li Xiaoming made a funny gesture of love towards the camera.And his Red Devil No. [-] was signed with his own name, and "For my favorite teacher, Lily."

Tonight, many people may be like Li Qingru, unable to fall asleep in the excitement for a long time... But no one can feel the excitement and excitement in Li Xiaoming's heart so closely like Li Qingru.

※※※

Because the game is played at night.So after the game, Manchester United stayed in London for a whole day before flying back to China. As a standard Englishman, Rio Ferdinand patted his chest and took Li Xiaoming to see the wonderful London, but in Ferguson Under repeated entrustment, Leo and his group did not take Li Xiaoming to the nightclub, but kept some aspects of Li Xiaoming's purity. However, it is clear that Li Xiaoming still felt the pain of becoming famous. He, Leo and his teammates As soon as you appear on the street of a certain attraction in London, you will find yourself surrounded by countless fans flocking to you.
