Chapter 30: Insolent Questioning

Chapter 30 Wuwang’s doubts

Although Fernandez showed a very confident look in Zhang Yang, Fernandez was also a little upset. Zhang Yang's performance in the first day of training was really bad. Of course, what Fernandez was worried about was not Zhang Yang's poor technical ability. After all, he was mentally prepared for this. What he was worried about was that Zhang Yang's self-confidence was hit!

What he admires the most is the fighting spirit. In Fernandez's view, technical ability and other things can be gradually improved. However, not everyone has this fighting spirit and persistence. If Zhang Yang has no confidence and no such fighting spirit, then he will really have to give up on this young man!

On November 4, 2005, three days before the match against Le Mans, it was also the second day after Zhang Yang came to the first team of Marseille.

In the morning, the drizzle started to fall and the whole sky became foggy. This made the air smell a little wet and cold.

Fernandez came to the training base in advance to wait for the players. Looking at the rainy weather, he was in a worse mood. He was under great pressure now. Marseille's record was extremely bad. His current points were only a few points higher than the relegation zone. Fernandez knew that if the team could not get out of the predicament in the next few games, his great plan in Marseille would only end here.

Fernandez looked at the gate of the training ground and was observing which players would come to the training base early. This is an attitude. At some point, it is not enough not to be late. When the team is facing difficulties, the head coach of course hopes to see that the players can consciously discipline themselves and perform more positively.

"What will that kid's mood be like?" Fernandez also wanted to observe Zhang Yang to see how this young man is today? He is depressed? Or pretend to be normal? Or can he still remain optimistic?

Standing at the door, Fernandez heard a sound of footsteps, which seemed very clear in the quiet rain and fog. Then, through the rain and fog, the head coach of the Marseille team saw a figure running, to be precise, he was rushing to take the ball. This person's skill in driving the ball is very average, he would bring the ball to lose the ball, and then stop and keep running forward.

Although he had not seen his face clearly, Fernandez immediately recognized who it was. In the first team of Marseille, who could have such a bad dribbling skill? Fernandez looked at the young man who was gradually approaching in the distance, looked at him and the ball at his feet, and smiled with relief. There was no need to ask the questions he wanted to ask just now. Those words of comfort seemed to be unnecessary.

※※※※※※※※※※

"Good morning, Zhang Yang." Zhang Yang approached. Fernandez raised his hand to say hello.

"Hello, Mr. Fernandez." Zhang Yang's attention was on the ball just now, which was the fortress he wanted to conquer. At this moment, he looked up and saw head coach Fernandez. He picked up the ball, raised his head and ran to Fernandez with his chest raised to say hello.

Looking at Zhang Yang's forehead, I don't know if it was sweat or rain, and looking at the smile on the young man's face, Fernandez's mood seemed to have improved a lot, and it seemed that he was much clearer in front of him.

“Are you still used to living here?”

"It's pretty good, I like it here." Zhang Yang said loudly, cracking his mouth and revealing his white teeth.

"How about physical strength?" Fernandez asked with a smile.

"Okay, I'm full of strength." Zhang Yang said as he raised his right hand and made a move to show his muscles.

"That's good." Fernandez smiled and patted Zhang Yang on the shoulder. He signaled that he could go to the locker room to change his clothes first, "Go quickly, take a hot shower first, don't catch a cold."

"OK."

"I wonder, will Fernandez give me a chance to play?" Zhang Yang ran to the locker room while thinking in his heart. This morning he turned on his computer and just learned that he had entered the roster. This surprised him and was very excited. Entering the 18*** roster means that he will go away with the team, but this does not guarantee that he can get the chance to play.

※※※※※※※※※※

Like Zhong Dajun, he was puzzled and surprised by the 18-man roster of Marseille. The Marseille team with poor record has always been the focus of media attention. The media hopes to take it over and put it under a high-power magnifying glass to study it.

The match between Marseille and Le Mans is also the life-and-death line set by the French media for Marseille head coach Fernandez. Although Marseille club chairman Diouf has always insisted that he will continue to trust Fernandez and will not consider changing coaches, the media insisted that not to look at what Diouf said so nicely now, once Marseille loses away to Le Mans, Fernandez will inevitably be dismissed!

This 18*** roster released in advance quickly became the focus of media attention. It was very simple. Because the media has been speculating about what changes Fernandez would make on the offensive line in this game to cope with the embarrassment of front-line employment. Then they found that zhang, who appeared in the 18-man roster, was a strange name. Who is this kid?

The game between the Marseille Youth League and the Paris Saint-Germain Youth League has very little influence. Only a few local media in Marseille have reported on this game and mentioned Zhang Yang. The media in other places will not mention the Youth League at all. Even the media in Paris have only brought this game in one sentence and did not mention Zhang Yang's name. Therefore, the 'zhang' in the 18-person roster of Marseille players is completely unfamiliar to them.

The paparazzi's ability and sense of smell are endless. Someone immediately found the small-scale report of the Marseille Youth Team vs. Paris Saint-Germain Youth Team in "Atlanie" and found a description of Zhang Yang's words from the reports.

"Young people from far and mysterious China."

“I haven’t had a professional game.”

"It's been only ten days since joining the Marseille youth team."

Some basic situations about Zhang Yang's arrival in France were quickly revealed by these people.

Although Zhang Yang joined the Marseille team freely and did not spend a single branch of the Marseille team, he joined the Marseille youth team or the Marseille first team. This is the team and Zhang Yang's affairs. But he can make trouble when he has nothing to do, and the media, who don't mess around with things, exaggerate and criticize this matter at once.

Many media questioned Fernandez's vision and also questioned Zhang Yang's ability.

Fayes, a critic of the Lyon Tribune, said sarcastically and sarcastically, "A player from China and an amateur player from China are regarded as a life-saving straw by Fernandez. Is there really no other striker available for the Marseille team? Who can tell what the Chinese team ranks in the world? Sorry, I don't know."

There are also media who don’t know how they got the training scene after Zhang Yang came to the first team of Marseille that day. They vividly and even added fuel to the fire to describe the training process of that day, and laughed at Zhang Yang as much as possible. Finally, they asserted in the report: "A player who can stop the ball and be two meters away from his body, an amateur player who only has experience in the French Youth League game, oh, to be precise, it is only 30 minutes of experience in the Youth League game, and a player who can’t even stop the ball. This is Fernandez’s choice when the offense is unfavorable? This is Fernandez’s sharp striker? Either Fernandez went crazy, or the world was crazy!"

"As far as we know, after Zhang Yang came to France, he went to many teams to request trial training, but he has not been able to succeed. Even some amateur teams rejected this young man... Did Mr. Fernandez get some inspiration from Ribery, and he began to believe in the amateur players' heroes? Hey, Mr. Fernandez. Are you sure you are awake?"

"Lyon Club was the first team to apply for trial training at Zhang Yang. At that time, Zhang Yang hoped to go to this giant team to try out. However, after the club knew that he was a Chinese player with no professional experience, he refused him without hesitation."

※※※※※※※※※※

The news media have been so "a big fight" against an unknown player. It is mainly because of the deterioration of the relationship between Marseille head coach Fernandez and the French media. Because Marseille's poor record, the media's criticism of Marseille has never stopped. Recently, it has even become more and more intense. Even before each round of league games, the media will be happy to sentence Fernandez to death in advance, claiming that Fernandez may be dismissed at any time.

Faced with these criticisms from the media, Fernandez certainly had reason to be angry. The famous French coach fired a fire at the media, and the two sides fought a war of words, and the relationship became worse and worse.

Just two days ago, Fernandez even asked the Marseille news and public relations department to announce a long list of names of some French media. Fernandez said that given the negative impact of these media reports on the normal training and competition of Marseille, the Marseille door is now closed to these well-known media and will not accept interviews from these media for the time being.

As soon as Fernandez's announcement came out, it was immediately furious. In the Western world, which is typified by "freedom of the press", Fernandez's move was simply a full-scale war with the media. For a moment, the media's criticism and criticism of Marseille and Fernandez's criticism and criticism of Marseille again... Such a quarrel also led to Zhang Yang, a young man who had just signed with the Marseille team and was promoted from the youth team to the first team, and he was in trouble. In addition, Zhang Yang's identity as an amateur player and his origin from China, which has always been considered a "football desert", the media initially questioned Zhang Yang's ability with tinted glasses. Now, all this has become the most direct evidence and reason for the media to belittle Zhang Yang and question Fernandez's unknown recognition.

To put it bluntly, the spearhead of these people is Fernandez, and Zhang Yang is just suffering from the disaster.

Fernandez has read all these media articles. For a new player, especially a young man from the amateur league like Zhang Yang, facing such doubts is almost a catastrophe. Because he has not done anything, he has been completely labeled as "no". His psychological quality may be drowned directly in the saliva of these media.
