In a small hotel on the north side of Clum Avenue in London, most of the windows in the third floor rooms were lit, and only one was dark. When you look closely, you will find that it was not that there was no light, but that the light was very dim.

The room was not turned on, and the curtains were half-tugged.

A computer screen emits light and shines on a young face wearing glasses. He has a standard buzz cut, his square face is a little thin, and his thick eyebrows are placed on his cheeks, giving people a kind and kind feeling.

His name is Li Jiandong, a Chinese, 31 years old, and is a media company called "Century Online Football", and a reporter who works in the UK.

"Century Online Football" is a domestic sports media that integrates online media and magazines. Its influence covers the entire China. However, because it only focuses on reporting football content, the report is relatively targeted and the content limitations are too great. It has been established for more than ten years and is just a small media company with assets of tens of millions.

In the field of sports football, "Century Online Football" does a good job. Many domestic fans will subscribe to "Century Online Football" magazine, or subscribe to become a website member to watch the latest football reports.

Li Jiandong has been working in "Century Network Football" for five years.

"Century Network Football" is just a medium-sized media, and there will definitely not be too many interviewers. Li Jiandong is also the only reporter stationed in the UK in the company, so he is a comprehensive reporter, who needs part-time cameraman, interview reporters, text reporters, etc.

Li Jiandong’s work is very important.

"Century Online Football" can only learn about the latest British football news through him, so Li Jiandong's work is naturally very busy.

In recent years, China has not purchased the broadcast rights of the Premier League. For example, major media and TV stations mostly broadcast the Serie A live, and domestic fans also have a lot of knowledge about the Serie A. Whether it is AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Rome, Lazio, an Italian team, they have many supporters in China. In contrast, the Premier League is much worse. The clubs that fans are familiar with are only a few limited top teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea.

There are very few domestic fans in ordinary Premier League teams.

One of the teams is special, that is, Manchester United's arch-rivaled enemy, Manchester City. Manchester City is known not because they are Manchester United's arch-rivaled enemy, nor because of how good their performance, but because there is a player from China in their team - Sun Jihai.

Sun Jihai is a very excellent defender player.

So far, among all Chinese overseas players, Sun Jihai is the most successful one, and he has become the main player of Manchester City.

Chinese players are a big highlight.

Chinese media will definitely focus on interviewing Sun Jihai, and Li Jiandong is the same. His job is to focus on English football, but this statement is too wide. In fact, he has been in Manchester for a long time and interviews Manchester United, which is the most popular among fans, and will also interview important games. Sun Jihai is also his focus on interviewing.

It's different today.

Li Jiandong came to London early because there was a crucial game - Chelsea played against Arsenal at home.

Chelsea and Arsenal are both highly-watched teams.

The two teams combined can represent London football, and this game is also a London derby.

Li Jiandong's work during the day is to go to Stamford Bridge Stadium for an interview. At night, he summarized the content and planned to write a manuscript to send it back to China. However, it is a bit regrettable that the interview did not have any substantive content. He was just a small media reporter and did not even have the chance to ask questions. The content only recorded some competitions.

What's there to report on this?

Li Jiandong was very upset.

This is what you do writing work. As long as there is content, it is very simple to write, but without content, it is like a "a skillful woman faces a cook without rice". She can't write anything decent.

So he simply stopped, switched to the web content, and looked for the latest news about English football, which might bring some inspiration.

A message immediately attracted attention-

"Under the leadership of the young new coach Zhang Yang, Mirwall won three consecutive victories after five consecutive victories, and the league ranking rose to seventh place!"

———

Young coach yang-zhang?

Li Jiandong stared at the name of 'yang-zhang' for a long time, and finally he was very sure that it was a standard Chinese name.

"Yes, it's a Chinese name! It's a bad name!"

Li Jiandong complained silently.

China has a population of 1.3 billion. The "Wang" is a big surname among the hundreds of families. The population of the surname Wang can reach 100 million. With these many "Wang clan members" as the basis, there are too many people called Zhang Yang. I dare not say that it can reach hundreds of thousands, but there must be tens of thousands of people.

Tens of thousands of people!

But...is this Chinese?

Li Jiandong has a definite answer - no.

There are many people with the surname Wang in North Korea, South Korea, or Southeast Asian countries, and there are many Chinese immigrants abroad. There are people called 'yang-zhang' all over the world, which is normal.

But Li Jiandong quickly found the real answer - yes.

After clicking on the news title, the first line that appears was 'Before Christmas, Dennis Wise was injured. This young man from China replaced Wise as the coach of Millwall's.

"Don't let me do it!"

Li Jiandong was immediately excited!

Just now, he was still watching the news calmly, but immediately became uneasy. He is really a Chinese coach!

Chinese coach!

"How is it possible? Impossible?"

Li Jiandong continued to watch with great patience, "...This young head coach is only twenty-two years old, and most players are just playing in the professional league, but he has become the head coach of the second division..."

“Milwall Club doesn’t know what it is for trusting him…”

"But no matter what, his team-leading performance is excellent. Since Christmas, Millwall has played six games. He has led the team to win five victories, which also helped the team to reach the seventh place in the league in this life. Going up a little further, they have the opportunity to enter the 'upgrade zone'..."

"This may be the most eye-catching thing in the Championship this season. It is hard to imagine a young coach of 22 years old!"

"… So far, he has done well, but whether he can continue depends on Millwall's next performance!"

"After the competition between Millwall and Queen's Park Rangers, Zhang Yang said in an interview with reporters that he is very confident in leading the team to continue to achieve good results..."

“…”

At the end of the report article, there were some ordinary analysis, so there was nothing to watch, but Li Jiandong still patiently read the entire content, and his emotions became very complicated.

Surprised, shocked, excited, excited, and unbelievable!

Li Jiandong didn't know what he was thinking, but his normal brain reminded him that the following thing to do is to determine the authenticity of the report.

The UK's reports may not be true.

In the UK, many of the reports on football stars and clubs are "heard-telling". Perhaps whether the information obtained from hidden channels will cause many doubts whether the content of the information is true.

Li Jiandong knows British sports media very well, and after reading the report, he starts to search for web pages.

Keywords: Millwall changed coach, Zhang Yang.

A large number of news was immediately displayed on the web page, including introductory reports, which were disclosed news and news. Some of the praises were mostly praising Millwall's recent achievements, and many criticisms were questioning Zhang Yang's coaching ability and not optimistic about Millwall's achievements.

Li Jiandong found more than 20 reports, each of which was classified and screenshot, and put it in the document, comparing and analyzing and researching one by one.

Finally he concluded that the news was true.

At the same time, I also learned about the whole story: Before Christmas, Millwall's player and head coach, former Chelsea captain, England international Dennis Wise was injured when he appeared. The injury was so serious that he needed to recuperate in bed for several months. Later, Millwall Club appointed Zhang Yang, a 22-year-old Chinese, who served as Millwall's interim head coach.

The head coach position is temporary, and the real position is still the "match instructor", but the interim head coach is also the head coach. When it comes to Millwall's head coach, everyone should say it is a good thing because he has the power of the head coach.

Li Jiandong breathed a sigh of relief.

From the perspective of media reporters, he knew that he had discovered big news.

It is not easy to discover big news when working in the UK. Many news have been disclosed by domestic media for a long time. The biggest news he has received so far is a five-minute interview with Manchester United star Paul Scholes, including an evaluation of former teammate David Beckham. It is such a scoop that increased the sales of "Century Online Football" magazine a lot.

There is nothing else.

When there is no scoop, Li Jiandong just runs around, collects all kinds of latest news, sorts it out and sends it back to China. When he encounters slightly attractive news, he will also write a report, and his job is just like this.

Now is a great opportunity!

A young Chinese served as the head coach of the English Championship team!

How big news is this?

Since there is no TV station in China that has the right to broadcast the Premier League, domestic fans’ understanding of the Premier League is limited to the top teams. Not to mention the English Championship, the English Championship is a blank area for domestic reports. Almost no media will send reporters to interview, and there are almost no related reports in China.

In one season, domestic fans can only see news about the English Champions League at the end of the season, which is also the information about the promotion of the English Champions League team.

So this could be a scoop!

Although the temptation of the news was very great, Li Jiandong still held back. He still needed to make sure one thing: did he not know that there was a young Chinese coach coach in the UK, or did he not know in the whole of China?

This is a big problem.

He hasn't returned to China for more than three months, and he doesn't know what the situation is in China.
Chapter completed!
