On the second day of the game against West Bromwich, everyone was a little absent-minded on Manchester City's training ground.

Christmas is coming, and the players who have been fighting for half a season are physically and mentally exhausted and inevitably get a little distracted.

Even Zhang Yang is a little uncomfortable now. He has already had a holiday in the Ligue 1 and Serie A. At this time, he probably has already boarded a flight back to China.

Zhang Yang has not been able to spend the Spring Festival with his parents and relatives for several years, because during the Chinese New Year, it is the time when the European League is in full swing. He can only take advantage of the Christmas holiday to return home and spend the New Year's Day with his family, which is also considered to be a filial piety.

Now, there is no winter break in the Premier League, and Zhang Yang has no time to return to China to celebrate New Year's Day with his family, and he feels a little depressed. After all, he is only in his twenties and is at home.

Seeing that the players were a little discouraged, Manchester City's assistant coach didn't say anything. He was once a player and could understand the players.

At this moment, the team's head coach Mark Hughes accompanied the club's general manager and chairman Alfaim, and there were several people beside and behind them.

Then, head coach Mark Hughes told everyone with a smile on his face, asking the whole team to cooperate with Sky TV to shoot a set of promotional videos about the Premier League. The name of the promotional video is "Crazy Premier League".

I heard that I wanted to shoot a promotional video for Manchester City. This news really surprised many Manchester City players and staff. You should know that everyone knows the importance and benefits of shooting league promotional videos. However, generally speaking, Sky TV only asks Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool to shoot. Why? Because the traditional giants of these teams have countless fans abroad.

As for Manchester City, there has never been such treatment, because Manchester City fans are mainly in Manchester. Another reason is naturally because Manchester City's strength is too average and its influence is too small.

So, at this time, when I heard the words of head coach Mark Hughes, Manchester City players, especially some old players, were surprised.

Of course, there are also some who are not surprised. Zhang Yang and Robinho became much calmer. When they were AC Milan and Real Madrid, they were well-informed and the teams they played for were also top European giants. They have experienced such things and didn't think there was anything special.

Sky TV bought out the broadcast rights for the Premier League in recent seasons. Any promotion to the Premier League as much as possible and attracting more fans to watch the game is the top priority of Sky TV's work.

Before the start of this season, no one took Manchester City seriously. Even after the Abu Dhabi consortium announced the acquisition of Manchester City Club, people paid more attention to Sky TV's situation on what the upstart would make this summer. And there was no too much attention to Manchester City's competition itself.

This situation changed until Manchester City announced that Zhang Yang officially joined the team for 75 million pounds.

Sky TV immediately decided that in the first round of the Premier League, in addition to broadcasting the league opening game of Arsenal, it would broadcast Manchester City's away game against Aston Villa.

The most important factor that prompted Sky TV to make such a decision.

The influence of stars in modern football has reached a huge level of influence.

In the subsequent leagues, Manchester City once ranked as the leader in the standings under Zhang Yang, which made everyone admire Manchester City. Although Manchester City's performance fluctuated in the subsequent period, Manchester City never fell out of the top six, and the points gap with the leader Liverpool has even remained within six points.

Sky TV also shows that when the team broadcasts Manchester City's game, the ratings are gradually rising, which also makes Sky TV's evaluation of Manchester City very well. Even their commentators have begun to have a good impression of Manchester City. For example, Sky TV's gold medal commentator Eddie Gray was just a fan of Zhang Yang at the beginning, but he didn't like Manchester City, the upstart. Now, Eddie Gray began to praise Manchester City when commenting, because, under Zhang Yang's leadership, this team did play well, especially Manchester City defeated Arsenal 6-2 at home and 4-3 away from home, which has long been praised by some staff of Sky TV. It is believed that one of the best games so far this season.

Sky TV also made a relatively positive comment on Manchester City in its own program, rather than just entangled in the "nova image" brought to people by Manchester City's strong financial background.

This also made Manchester City club gain more reputation and benefits invisibly, so the relationship between Manchester City club and Sky TV is still good.

When he learned that Sky TV was planning to produce a Christmas enhanced version of the Premier League promotion program, Manchester City Club immediately contacted Sky TV, hoping to consider helping Manchester City Club promote it. Sky TV also believes that Manchester City is now popular and may have better results after promotion again, which is also conducive to improving the ratings of the game.

Therefore, after internal discussion, they also happily agreed that this enhanced promotional video can only give Manchester City at least five minutes.

In this way, the team's influence and image will be better, and the TV station's ratings will continue to increase, and everyone will be happy.

The name of this promotional video is "Crazy Premier League". Although the promotional video also selects some information about small and medium-sized teams, it is all mentioned, and it will not exceed half a minute. The top priority of the promotional video is naturally Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal. BIG4 is naturally the face of English football. They have a great record and have many stars. Only such a team can attract widespread attention from fans around the world.

In the plan for Sky TV this time, Manchester City was not the most important part of the program, just because, after Manchester City club requested cooperation to Sky TV, the internal station communicated specifically about this matter and analyzed some data again, which also shocked Sky TV. Manchester City's club's record, especially their goal efficiency, is the third-ranked team in the Premier League. Moreover, because of the joining of stars such as Zhang Yang, Manchester City's brand market value is also the fastest-growing Premier League, especially after Manchester City massacred Arsenal 6-2 at home, the attention of this team soared. On Google, the number of keywords searched for Manchester City and Zhang Yang was more than twice as many as a month ago.

After emergency consultations, Sky TV made a decision to give Manchester City club five minutes of publicity, second only to seven minutes between Manchester United and Chelsea, and is on the same position as Liverpool and Arsenal, both of which are more than five minutes!

In addition, as a non-hero team, Zhang Yang ranked second in the Golden Ball Awards, with a total score of only five points higher than Cristiano Ronal, which itself shows Zhang Yang's influence.

In addition, Robinho, Modric and Wright Phillips, Manchester City often plays big scores after the start of the new season, including the massacre of Portsmouth at home and the game of 6-2 at home. It can be said that the most star-studded thing about Manchester City is their offensive line. This is also the target of Sky TV's focus on publicity.

During the entire shooting, the stars of Manchester City have to do very simply, just cooperate with the photographer's shooting and show their best skills. Of course, this kind of publicity work is not a formal game, so the more fancy it is, the better it is. The more explosive the shooting it is, the better it is. The fans are happy to watch it, and the more successful the publicity will be.

Although it was just a promotional event for a show, Manchester City players were still very enthusiastic. Everyone knows that being able to appear in league promotional videos is also of great benefit to improving their influence.

Of course, although everyone wants to show their faces, they will never come to steal the show. Moreover, Sky TV also has a list, and only players on the list will have more "scenes".

On this list, Zhang Yang's name is the first, followed by Robinho and Modric, and of course, Wright Phillips.

This is an offensive player, and among the defensive players, there is only one Marklele.

"Who are you going first?" asked the director.

"Robi, come first." Zhang Yang said to Robinho. The latter nodded happily. Then, Brazil walked to the photographer's camera. After promising countless benefits, he found Richards and Kompani as supporting roles to show his agile footwork skills and extraordinary abilities.

Manchester City Club Chairman Alfaim, who was watching all this not far away, could not help but nodded with satisfaction. Zhang Yang took the initiative to let Robinho come first. This is an attitude, which shows that Zhang Yang is broad-minded and is a smart young man. Zhang Yang's status in the team is unquestionable. Even if Zhang Yang is not the first to shoot, Zhang Yang will be the focus of the whole team in post-production, so Zhang Yang doesn't care about fighting for this "first". Instead, it's better to be generous and give it to his partner.

Of course, Robinho didn't know these things, but Robinho was still happy when he was willing to give him face and let him be the first to come.

"The relationship between the two of them is good now," said Cook, general manager of Manchester City Club. When Robinho came to Manchester City, the senior management of Manchester City Club had been worried about the conflict between the two and the concern that Robinho would challenge Zhang Yang's core position.

However, now it seems that this kind of worry is no longer needed. On the one hand, Zhang Yang's strength and absolute strength have made Robinho surrender. Another point is that Zhang Yang is not as arrogant as some people think in the team. When this young man deals with problems, he is tough when he should be tough. In normal times, he is very good at doing things, pays great attention to uniting his teammates, and does a good job.
