Chapter 23 Let him come to the first team
Chapter 23 Let him come to the front team
The celebration of Zhang Yang, Yashioi and Louis did not last much time, because he turned his head and saw several journalists walking to him and they surrounded him.
"Which country player are you?"
"Are you an Asian French player?"
"When did you join Marseille?"
Zhang Yang had never experienced such a situation. He scratched his head a little. This was not because he was afraid of this kind of scene. It was because the questions asked by these reporters were too fast, just like a cannon. His only thing was that his poor French level could not keep up with other people's speech speed. These French journalists spoke fast and had slang, which was not the French that Zhang Yang learned to look up dictionary.
At this time, head coach Pierre rushed over to help Zhang Yang clear the situation.
"I'm sorry, my players are going back to the locker room, and they can't accept any interviews." He winked at Zhang Yang, meaning he told him to leave quickly and return to the locker room quickly.
Pierre is protecting young players. He doesn't want Zhang Yang to be watched by the media just now, and then he brags about it again. This is not good for the growth of young players. In addition, Pierre has another consideration. Many teams now do not understand Zhang Yang, let alone Zhang Yang's strength and characteristics. Even some basic information is probably not mastered. In this way, it provides the possibility for Zhang Yang to become the team's surprise. Once the media pays too much attention to Zhang Yang, it will not have this effect.
According to Pierre's idea, this is just a game in the Youth League, and these reporters are only interested in Zhang Yang at this moment. Maybe after the enthusiasm is over, they will no longer pay attention. So, he stopped the reporters now, and maybe these reporters will not come again tomorrow. After all, compared with the Ligue 1, the excellent performance of a game in the Youth League is really nothing!
Zhang Yang glanced at the head coach with a eager look. Then, under the urgency of Pierre, he returned to the locker room unwillingly. In fact, he hoped to be interviewed by the media. As young people, who don’t want to be famous, think that the newspapers and TV were all covered with their names and photos, and they were reporting on themselves, Zhang Yang was a little excited.
Moreover, he was eager to be famous for going to newspapers and TV. There was another reason. He wanted to buy all these newspapers that reported on himself, and then send them back to his country to give his buddies one at home. Zhang Yang knew that this was the best gift for those who cared about him. Although they couldn't understand the French on it, they understood! And would be very happy.
Seeing Zhang Yang and others walking towards the player corridor and disappearing into the corridor, these reporters were anxious.
Obviously, Pierre underestimated the interest of these journalists in Zhang Yang.
Yes, it’s not a big deal for a young man in the Youth League to perform well in a game, but if this young man is a yellow-skinned, dark-haired Eastern player, how could these reporters not pay attention to it, and how could they not flock to find out what happened? Maybe this would be a good report that is not big or small.
After all, Asian players are relatively rare in the French league.
Pierre obviously did not expect the enthusiasm of the reporters. He was a little busy in the face of the questions from these reporters.
"Mr. Pierre, I heard that player No. 27 is Chinese?"
"Mr. Pierre, when did you complete such a contract?"
"May I ask, how much does this young man spend on the transfer fee for the Marseille club?"
"Is he a transfer with zero value?"
"Is this game the young man's debut? Can you evaluate his performance?"
"We noticed that his stopping skills are very bad. Does this mean that his skills are very bad?"
"May I ask, what prompted the Marseille team to sign this young man?"
"Name, what is his name? God, the names of the Eastern people are so difficult to pronounce. Can you pronounce his name, Mr. Pierre?"
Pierre no longer remembers how long it was last time he was surrounded by reporters and asked questions. It seemed that Nasri performed well in the youth team.
Seeing that head coach Pierre was surrounded by reporters, the irritable assistant coach Mark Levi came to rescue him. He pushed away the reporters arrogantly and shouted loudly, "Come and ask me if you have any questions."
This sentence immediately helped Pierre to clear the situation. The reporters didn't care whether it was the head coach or the assistant coach who answered the questions. The key was to get first-hand information.
"May I ask, about that player No. 27..."
"Yes, we need to know the situation of that kid and everything."
The reporters repeated the question that Pierre just asked.
After Mark Levi and other reporters asked questions in a mess, their loud voices rang out again, "I'm sorry, I'm just a goalkeeper coach. I have nothing to tell you about these questions. You should ask Mr. Head Coach."
The reporters quickly went to find Pierre at this time, and there was no Pierre there. They looked at the fierce Marseille goalkeeper coach and assistant coach, and wanted to go up and punch him twice.
“It’s so inconsistent.”
"Yeah, it's so mean."
“We have the right to ask questions.”
Mark Levi ignored these people at all. He squeezed out the crowd and walked away, leaving only the dissatisfaction behind him. Anyway, after entering the player corridor, he could not hear these dissatisfactions or even insults, so he was too lazy to pay attention to them. His temper was already very good. If this was his previous temper and the reporter said rudely, he would definitely be full of old fists.
Just after the game ended, Marseille's first-team coach Fernandez and assistant coach Hiltney quietly left the stadium. At that time, the reporters were surrounding Zhang Yang and then surrounded the youth team's head coach Pierre, which allowed them to escape. Otherwise, the Marseille's first-team coach would not be so easy to escape.
The head coach and the assistant coach came to the underground parking lot of Egul Park Stadium and got into a Volvo. However, the car did not start and there was a conversation between the two.
The conversation is about Zhang Yang.
"I believe you have seen this young man's performance, too." Fernandez asked his assistant Hiltney.
Hiltney nodded. No matter how disdainful Zhang Yang out of preconceived inertial thinking, he disapproved and disbelief of Zhang Yang's strength, but in this game, it was a fact that Zhang Yang scored a goal on the bench and created a penalty kick. If you only look at this answer, it would undoubtedly be quite excellent for a newcomer's debut.
"I have an idea, I plan to recruit him into the first team, what do you think?" Fernandez asked his assistant.
"Uh-uh-a?" Marseille's first-team assistant coach Hiltney suddenly raised his head. He was frightened by Fernandez's words. His mouth widened and looked at the team's head coach. Hiltney's expression was very similar to the shocked expression he had when Zhang Yang scored the goal before.
The assistant coach of Marseille first team wanted to ask the coach if he was joking, but after looking at Fernandez's expression, he knew that this was obviously not joking!
Fernandez is serious!
At least, at this moment, the head coach is really considering this possibility.
Hiltney felt that it was necessary to stop Fernandez from joking behavior. He did not think that just relying on a young man's performance in a game in the Youth League means that the young man is qualified to enter the first team.
"It's only one game. I think it needs to be observed for a while?" Hiltney said his suggestion.
Fernandez shook his head, "Do you think our forward line can continue to support?"
Hiltney stopped talking. The first team forward main player Luindula was injured and would be absent for several months, which has made the Marseille team's forward short of people. Fortunately, the 33-year-old veteran Michael Pagis is in good shape this season. This former French international seems to have found the second spring of his career this season. However, the Marseille team seemed to be cursed. In the training the day before yesterday, Pagis fell to the ground in an injury and fell to the ground. After X-rays, it was found that the left and right femoral bones were cracked, which means Michael Pagis will be absent for at least two months. Such an injury will also be a big blow to a 33-year-old veteran.
In addition, the team's other striker, Senegal international Nion, has not performed well, so now the Marseille team's forward line is really no longer available.
Hiltney thought about it and really needed to select a shooter from the youth team to the first team to temporarily enrich the team's offensive line. Thinking of this, he shut up and stopped talking.
He just provided his own advice, and the last one who made the decision was the head coach. In the Marseille team, although Fernandez was relatively democratic, as long as Fernandez made up his mind, everyone else must obey unconditionally. The Holy Godfather has absolute authority at the Villodham Stadium.
In this way, the conversation between the two determined Zhang Yang's fate. Fernandez would call the youth team head coach Pierre in person the next day and transfer Zhang Yang to the first team.
Zhang Yang's residence is an apartment called Bastead, which has a total of 35 dormitories and 4 classrooms. However, the training grounds of traverse delamartine are still 20 minutes' drive away.
