Chapter 375

When media reporters from various countries came to Millwall to interview Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang really became popular, not because of the clichéd coaching, but because of his language skills.

The media reporters who came to interview are not limited to the United Kingdom, but also include Italy, Spain, Germany, France and other countries. Of course, Chinese media are indispensable.

At this time, the media were surprised to find that no matter which country the reporter was interviewing, Zhang Yang did not need an interpreter at all, and directly accepted the interview in the other party's language, and he also spoke very fluently. He was able to talk directly to all the reporters who came to interview.

This is too amazing!
The results of Millwall and Zhang Yang's success in leading the team have been forgotten by many media. European media began to report on Zhang Yang's language skills. Spain's "Marca" and Italy's "Gazzetta dello Sport" both used "language genius" To describe Zhang Yang, "He is a true language genius. According to reports, he is proficient in at least seven languages ​​including Chinese, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese, and he uses each language very fluently."

"Even if he doesn't work as a football coach, it's easy enough to find a job as a translator."

Next, the British BBC TV station despised the media of various countries, thinking that they published outdated news, "When Zhang was an intern at the BBC, he was a language genius. His main job was news translation. Unfortunately, when the BBC wanted to promote When he was, he chose to leave and become a football coach."

So more media praised Zhang Yang, believing that his success is also inseparable from his genius mind.

"There is a reason for Zhang Yang to lead Millwall to success. He has a genius brain, which can be proved by being proficient in more than seven languages. This at least shows that his IQ is enough to crush most people!"

"The head coach is a position that requires a lot of IQ. Maybe we have found the reason for Zhang Yang's success!"

----

The media thought they had found the reason for Zhang Yang's success, but it was only a one-sided statement. The only result was to let the fans know that Zhang Yang is a language genius. Zhang Yang's reputation has grown, and more reporters have come to interview Zhang Yang.

In front of the main entrance of the Millwall Club, there has been a group of reporters squatting for a long time. They all want to interview Zhang Yang. Even if they can't interview Zhang Yang, they will occasionally gain something, such as interviewing players who come in and go out, club officials and so on.

Many media want to interview Zhang Yang's first-hand information.

That is the most valuable.

However, most of them failed to achieve their goals, because Zhang Yang received very few interviews, especially during the holidays, when there was no business related to the competition, Zhang Yang received fewer interviews.

Perhaps only some big Chinese media are special cases.

Whenever an interview team from a major Chinese media comes, Zhang Yang will record an interview, and most of the time he will also accept interviews. Other media do not have this kind of treatment.

This is actually normal.

Anyone would like to be interviewed by the national media, and other coaches and players are the same. The domestic media will always have some intimacy when they come. If we talk about ordinary media, there are too many reporters who come here, and it is impossible to take care of them all.

Today is a holiday in Millwall.

Many players went to participate in the national team's game, and the team's lineup was not complete, so they simply took two days off.

Zhang Yang still came to the club normally.

The players' vacation does not mean the coaches' vacation. The members of the coaching staff still work normally. Zhang Yang's work plan is to take advantage of the two-day vacation to improve some tactical issues.

There are still more than a dozen reporters in front of Millwall, most of them are 'long-term stay' reporters. The working class of such reporters is roughly between paparazzi and regular reporters. The media stays on site, ready to interview first-hand information when a big event happens.

During weekdays, I interviewed whenever I had the opportunity, and stayed in front of the door and chatted together if I didn’t have the opportunity.

A dozen people are very familiar with each other.

Among them was a special reporter with a face from the East Asian region. People around him were surprised. After a little communication, they found out that he was a Chinese, named Ruan Hailong, and was an intern reporter for London Sports News.

"I'm here to interview Zhang Yang."

Ruan Hailong talked about his purpose.

Some seniors laughed immediately, "Interview Zhang Yang? Haha... We all wanted to interview Zhang Yang, but no one did. If you represent the Chinese media, maybe there is still a chance, "London Sports News"? Don't you know , Has "London Sporting News" been blocked by the Millwall club? Even if the club opens interviews, you are not eligible to enter!"

Ruan Hailong was stunned.

It was really the first time he had heard of this incident, and when he recalled his own experience, he felt a sense of enlightenment.

Ruan Hailong is a very difficult "sea turtle". His studies are not very good, and his English level is not good enough. His family conditions are moderate. In order to make him have a good future, his parents spent many years of savings to support him to study in the UK. , attending a mid-range UK university.

British mid-range universities are schools that are slightly better than community colleges.

Many mid-range colleges and universities have a name to the outside world, and there are several in London, such as the London School of International Business and Business and the London Institute of Public Transport. The gap is too big.

In the first year when Ruan Hailong came to the UK, he still dreamed of finishing university, returning home to be a sea turtle, and finding a high-paying white-collar job in a big company, but after only one year, he almost knew that he was "deceived".

Ruan Hailong's mid-range college had too many foreign students.

The main income of this college is also contributed by foreign students. Many courses are specially designed for foreign students. He has more than a dozen Chinese classmates, who are basically rich or expensive. They come to school just to get a foreign diploma. Wanting to continue to develop, if Ruan Hailong didn't work hard enough, he wouldn't even be able to speak English fluently.

After graduating from such a university, returning to China will definitely not be recognized.

Ruan Hailong is aware of this. After graduating from university, he didn't plan to return to China, but planned to make a living. He waited for a little career before returning to China, otherwise he would really lose face to his parents who had paid for him.

The first thing Ruan Hailong faced was living expenses and visa issues.

After graduating from university, he definitely can’t continue to grow old. The part-time work and part-study income before can hardly support him to continue to live, and he can’t get a visa for part-time jobs. He has to find a stable job.

Afterwards, Ruan Hailong realized how difficult it is for the Chinese in "ordinary colleges" to find a job in the UK.

Britain is said to be an open country, and the problem of racial discrimination has always existed. Chinese people are still discriminated against. If ordinary occasions are fine, discrimination will not be shown, but if you apply for a job, the company will definitely choose the British, no matter how bad it is. People from EU countries, even Africans have an advantage over Chinese.

Another consideration is that the UK tax system targets foreigners, with non-EU employees paying higher taxes.

For graduates from prestigious schools such as Cambridge and Oxford, it is definitely not so complicated. Many companies will rush to hire, and non-EU graduates from mid-range colleges are not competitive.

Ruan Hailong worked hard for a long time until his visa was about to expire before he found a job - an interview reporter for "London Sports News".

His internship period is three months.

The internship period is unstable, and the visa extension that Ruan Hailong obtained was only until the end of the internship period.

If the internship period ends normally and he gets a formal position as an interview reporter, he will be able to obtain a work visa and continue to work in the UK; otherwise, he must leave the UK within three days.

You can imagine how much pressure Ruan Hailong is under. He is very eager to perform well and hopes that he can be officially hired. The first task given by his boss is to interview Zhang Yang.

Want a face-to-face interview!
Ruan Hailong is just an intern reporter. He never expected that his first job would be an interview with a "big shot". He thought it was because the company valued him so much, so he made a lot of preparations before coming here.

Now he finally knows why!

"London Sporting News" hired him, not because of his ability, but because he is Chinese.

"London Sports News" was blocked by the Millwall club, so he wanted to find a Chinese to be an interview reporter, so he got an internship opportunity. If he couldn't complete the interview work, his internship period would end early. Face the embarrassing situation of being deported when the visa expires.

----

The "old seniors" gave Ruan Hailong a lot of suggestions, basically meaning "you have no chance than us, and it is impossible to interview Zhang Yang." Ruan Hailong tried to communicate with the guard, and heard that it was a reporter from "London Sports News", I was immediately rejected directly, and the attitude of rejection was very bad.

Ruan Hailong went to contact the staff who came in and out of the club unbelievingly. When they heard the reporter of "London Sports News", they turned their heads and left without hesitation.

An older staff member was kinder and reminded, "Don't waste your time here. The London Sports News is the media that Zhang Yang named and rejected."

Ruan Hailong did not give up.

The time given to him by "London Sporting News" was not unlimited. His boss only gave him three days. If he couldn't complete the interview within three days, his internship period would end early.

Then Ruan Hailong stayed for two days and two nights.

When I was hungry, I went to a nearby store, got nearly two pieces of bread and mineral water, and slept directly under the wall at night. A policeman thought it was a homeless man and asked about it.

Two days later, Ruan Hailong really looked like a homeless man.

On the same day, Millwall was having a training session. In the morning, Ruan Hailong saw Zhang Yang driving into the club.

He was a little desperate.

This is already the last day.

If Zhang Yang cannot be interviewed, his internship period will end early, and his visa will soon be in danger of expiring. Whenever he thinks of going back with failure, Ruan Hailong becomes very unwilling.

What should he do...
