Chapter 146 What is offending a reporter

"It has been ten minutes since the second half. Leiden Oriental's head coach Xiao Ming still did not appear on the coach's seat, and Irish striker Robbie Keane, who was replaced by him during the midfield, also did not appear on the bench... Did something happen during the midfield? However, the players on the field of Leiden Oriental did not seem to be affected, and their offense continued... Oh! The ball has entered! Phillips, who had just been replaced, broke through Reading's goal with a kick in the penalty area, Leiden Oriental led two goals at home!"

The commentator chattered and in these ten minutes he completely became a gossip bricklayer, constantly proposing scenes such as "Morning Xiao Ming's blood splashing locker room, Little Keeen's Wind and Snow Mountain Temple". He mentioned that Leiden East's two goals lead was almost the only thing he talked about was related to the situation on the field...

At this moment, Xiao Ming and Keen came out of the player channel one by one. Xiao Ming turned around and said something to Keen while walking. Keen listened to Xiao Ming's words seriously, and kept nodding while listening.

"Ah... they came out, and there seemed to be no conflict. The expressions of the two people were normal... But what happened in the locker room, which made them appear ten minutes late? You should know that Xiao Ming is the head coach of Leiden East. It is rare for him to not command the game on the sidelines."

Seeing Xiao Ming and Keen come out without any abnormality, the commentator could only swallow his doubts back into his stomach and start paying attention to the game again.

"How is the score now?" Xiao Ming didn't know that he had come out ten minutes late, which had caused many speculations and murmurings. He sat down in the coach's seat on his own, and asked MacDonald: "What is the score now?"

"Two to zero, Kevin scored a goal just now." MacDonald replied. Seeing that there was nothing unusual between the two, MacDonald also put his heart back in his stomach - as long as these two guys with personality did not have a conflict.

"It seems that these guys are playing well." Xiao Ming sat down and waved to Keen: "Come on, Robbie, sit next to me."

Seeing Keen sitting down beside Xiao Ming, the other substitutes looked at Keen in surprise, with a hint of envy and jealousy in their eyes.

"Please carefully observe the running positions of your teammates, pay attention to Kevin's movements on the court. His speed is not faster than you, and his skills may not be as good as you. Even his body is not as strong as you, but he can score many goals every season." Xiao Ming whispered in Keane's ear: "I will not send you to the stage until you have the ability to play as his substitute for him. The faster you learn, the earlier you will play."

Keane nodded vigorously, his eyes full of confidence.

Phillips is 24 years old this year, seven years older than him. Last season, he was the number one scorer in the league, but Keane believed that Xiao Ming said, "You Keane is my future main striker." Yes, Phillips is indeed more effective than himself on the court now. It can be seen from the fact that he can score goals as soon as he comes on the bench. But Keane also knows that Phillips' technical characteristics are basically fixed now, and he is still far from reaching the peak!

After I integrated into the team, when I adapted to the pace of the England game, are you still afraid that I would not be able to get the starting opportunity?

The head coach is right. He barely did not perform well on the court, but he was not as good as after lying on the court for a while, and his appearance was awesome!

Thinking of this, Keane clenched his fists tightly - he had to be confident! At least he could get enough appearances in the team!

Due to the differences in technical characteristics, Keane's only competitor in the team is actually Phillips. During the long season, he will definitely get enough opportunities to play. It depends on whether he can grasp it!

What I am participating in now is no longer a small youth game, but a regular and cruel professional football! If you can't even adapt to the rhythm of the League One, let alone the future Premier League or even European games!

Xiao Ming saw the changes in Keane's facial expression. He nodded secretly. He had never doubted Keane's strength. Although Keane was criticized as the "leader of the mid-range team and a cancer of the giants" in later generations, he performed poorly in Inter Milan and Liverpool, but he performed quite well in Tottenham and Coventry. However, Xiao Ming believed that if he had not changed several clubs and had not obtained stable chances of playing except Tottenham, his goal rate would definitely not be worse than any famous Premier League scorer.

Moreover, he is only seventeen years old and has enough room for training. He has changed the trajectory of Jin Klaze. In history, after coming to Manchester City for three seasons, Jin Klaze left sadly after following Manchester City to the League Two, and has never made any results since then. Xiao Ming believes that under his command, although Jin Klaze has not played in the Premier League, he will definitely perform better after adapting to the English football style.

If you can change Jin Kraze yourself, you can change Robbie Keane.

This feeling of cultivating a player makes his achievements bigger than in history, and even more than spending money, collecting the best players in the world is even more fulfilling.

When he went to attend the press conference, Xiao Ming felt something strange.

Although Leiden Oriental defeated Reading two goals at home and continued to rank at the top of the League One standings, this shouldn't be any news that made the reporters look extremely excited. Looking at the reporters sitting in the audience, all of them were full of excitement, and their eyes looked like wolves.

"Did these guys take the wrong medicine?" Xiao Ming thought with some confusion. He hadn't thought that it was because he came out of the locker room ten minutes late that the reporters became so excited, wanting to dig out the secrets in the Leiden Oriental locker room.

This is also caused by Xiao Ming being a not competent coach. An experienced coach will of course think about what impact he will have on the sidelines ten minutes late. Even if he wants to teach Keen a lesson, he has to change his time. However, Xiao Ming feels that convincing Keen while the iron is hot is better. If he is treated coldly for a while, one is that there is no good opportunity to convince Keen, and the other is that it is easy to make Keen really dissatisfied. At that time, it will not be easy to achieve such good results as before.

With his personality, let alone not being too sure that his lateness will cause other people to speculate, even if he knows, he will probably sneer and get Keen done first.

In his opinion, it is easier to let a young player with potential wake up earlier than to prevent the outside world from causing speculation.

After a while, Xiao Ming knew why these reporters were so excited.

After Reading's head coach Brivante arrived at the scene, the two coaches casually said some of their views on the game - there was nothing to say about the game itself. Although it was a battle of revenge in Leiden East, the game process was calm.

After saying that, it was the turn of the reporter at the scene to ask questions. Xiao Ming casually pointed to a reporter with the most active movements and the most excited expressions, and his eyes were shining. Then, after hearing the reporter's self-report, Xiao Ming felt a little regretful...

"I am a reporter from The Sun." As soon as he heard that this reporter was the most famous tabloid reporter in England, Xiao Ming sighed. He really didn't understand why a reporter from the Sun would appear in a Class A game. As a fan who liked Liverpool in his previous life, he had no favoritism for the newspaper that added fuel to the fire after the Hillsborough tragedy and falsely accused the death of the 96 Liverpool fans who were football hooligans.

"May I ask why, Mr. Xiao, you came out of the locker room ten minutes late before the start of the second half?" The reporter stared at Xiao Ming and asked this question.

"Does this have anything to do with you? Does it have anything to do with the game?" Xiao Ming asked back quietly. As soon as he heard this question, he knew why these reporters were so excited. Xiao Ming would not tell the truth that he was trying to relieve Keen in the locker room. He would not be so stupid.

"We also noticed that Robbie Keane, who was replaced in the middle, also postponed ten minutes and appeared on the bench... What happened in the locker room?" The reporter looked at Xiao Ming with a winning smile: "Is it related to Keane's transition in the middle?"

Xiao Ming glanced at the reporter and asked casually: "Did you notice that he came out with me? Have you noticed that he was sitting next to me in the second half? What do you want to ask?"

The reporter's smile stopped and he immediately said: "We want to know the truth."

"Okay, if you want the truth, I will give you the truth." Xiao Ming smiled, then looked like he suddenly realized: "By the way, you are a reporter from the Sun, right? No wonder you are so interested in the truth. The most famous truth in English football history was published by the Sun."

Xiao Ming said this very obscure, but the face of the Sun reporter changed immediately - after the Hillsborough tragedy, the Sun's report slandered the dead Liverpool fans was named "The Truth" - a rather ironic title.

Seeing that the reporters were speechless, Xiao Ming didn't want to continue to get entangled with them: "Okay, there is only one truth...that is-"

He elongated his voice, and when the reporters were all raising their ears, he continued: "I accidentally fell in the locker room, twisted my feet, couldn't walk, and asked Robbie to help me with medicine and massage."

"Plop" the sound of someone falling off a chair.

A reporter from the Sun looked at Xiao Ming with a embarrassed look: "Why do you need Keen to come for a massage? Is there no team doctor in Leiden East?"

Xiao Ming looked at the Sun reporter with surprise: "There are team doctors, but the second half of the game has begun. Of course, the team doctors must first prepare to deal with emergencies on the sidelines. I think the players' bodies are more expensive than myself... As for why Keane? He has been substituted and will not play in the second half. He is the only one who is the only one who is not going to ask him for?"

"..." The Sun reporter was speechless. After a while, he couldn't help asking: "Did you really twist your feet?"

Then he saw Xiao Ming upside him, and saw that Brivante was sweating profusely, and he moved the chair to the side without hesitation.

Xiao Ming shook his feet with a joke: "Do you want to come up and take a look? If you want to see, help me take off my shoes. I was injured and I couldn't take off my shoes... But you should be careful, I have athlete's foot, don't blame me if it's smothered..."

The press conference was held this time, and there was no way to continue. The host quickly ended the press conference. Xiao Ming put his feet off the table in a daze, and then left the scene without any abnormality.

Brivante, who left behind him, turned to look at the reporters who were talking, shook his head, and then quickly left the scene.

"I admire your courage very much, Xiao." Briyunt gave Xiao Ming a thumbs up: "But if you do this, aren't you afraid that the reporters will cause trouble for you?"

Xiao Ming glanced at the coach he didn't know, and felt that he had no malice. Then he shook his head: "What trouble can they cause me? I'm not afraid of being fired... Besides, as long as they have good grades, they will naturally come around like flies... As for reporters, they are the targets to use. No matter how good you are to them, they will still put in the wrong place when you are in trouble."

Briyunt looked at Xiao Ming's back thinking about it, and then smiled bitterly.

"I probably can't do this forever."

Sure enough, in the newspapers released the next day, most media criticized Xiao Ming fiercely.

Especially the Sun, in addition to not believing Xiao Ming's explanation and believing that Xiao Ming is a liar who is used to lying, he also thinks that Xiao Ming is a rough man who is not educated and has a great disrespect to others at the press conference. Even the Sun's reporter claimed to sue Xiao Ming because Xiao Ming asked him to take off his shoes!

After reading these newspapers, Xiao Ming smiled and threw it away. If you want to sue me, just sue me. When I receive the summons, I will talk about it. But the other players began to look at Xiao Ming with admiration. Our Chairman is so awesome! Faced with those reporters who dare to play like this, the players don’t look down on those reporters who only know how to play with their pens but often criticize the player in the newspaper for his poor performance and the coach’s poor arrangement. Although Xiao Ming’s behavior offended many reporters, it made the players in the team support him a deeper level.

Of course, Xiao Ming did not know that his actions would have a huge impact in the future, and he gave him great help at a certain period of time. Now, he felt unhappy just because he couldn't stand the reporter's treasure and was afraid that the world would be in chaos.

However, Keane secretly ran to Xiao Ming after a training session and told Xiao Ming that many reporters have asked him what was going on in the locker room these days. He was all evasive by saying that he was helping Xiao Ming massage. After Xiao Ming finished laughing, he quickly let the team's players unify his caliber. He didn't want to be too much energy before the next game began.

In the third round, Leiden Oriental will go to Nottingham. The away challenge is also two games and two wins, tied for the top of the scoreboard with Leiden Oriental, just because of one less goal difference. Nottingham Forest, which ranks second.

Nottingham Forest is a strong opponent. Although they have been relegated for the second time after the establishment of the Premier League, Brian Claff, who created the Nottingham dynasty for the team, also left the coaching position one year after the establishment of the Premier League, but for the English League One team, Nottingham Forest is still an unbeatable team. The glory of the two Champions League championships is beyond the reach of most Premier League teams, let alone the English League One team.

Nottingham Forest struggled in the Premier League last season. During the winter break, their captain Stuart Pierce became the team's player and head coach. However, it is obvious that this head coach with Oak Heart who has done a good job in Manchester City and England's U-21 youth teams in the future did not become an excellent head coach at this time. After the season, Forest was relegated, and Pierce also left the forest in disgrace to join Newcastle.

The head coach of Nottingham Forest is Dave Bassett, a coach who has coached in the English sub-league for a long time, but it is obvious that he is the most suitable head coach for the Forest. The two consecutive victories show that he has quickly controlled the team. Moreover, although Nottingham Forest has been relegated, their foundation is still there. Although Pierce, a captain-level official, chose to leave, most of their main players remained. With their ability to win third place in the Premier League last season, their strength is still above most of the English League One teams.

This will be the first away game of Leiden Oriental in the new season. The main reason why Leiden Oriental did not perform well in the league last season is that their away winning rate was too low. This game will be a bargaining factor to test Leiden Oriental's away combat ability. After the failure of last season, Xiao Ming will no longer underestimate any opponent in the English League One.

I will never allow myself to fail this season, otherwise similar things will continue to happen like Hakker than they choose to leave. If I want to stop such things from happening again, I have to become stronger.

When driving to Nottingham, Xiao Ming thought silently in his heart.

Huckby has scored three league goals in two rounds of the league in Coventry, and his outstanding form has made everyone look at him. Now some people have even compared him with the Liverpool golden boy Michael Irving who has emerged...
