Zhang Kuang: BOSS, what if I deliberately played along with the reporters to stir up buzz?
Reporter: "Then you become the core in Manchester United, and others are pushing your butt?"
Zhang Kuang: "Of course, no, no one is the absolute core in Manchester United. Opportunities here are given to those players who can seize them.
Therefore, in Manchester United, everyone cooperates. No one helps whom, no one has to give the ball to someone to shoot, and others do not have the right to fire. I don't need to say this, right? Everyone can see how Manchester United has been over the years.
Although I have always said that I want to be the core of the offense, it is not that I want to take away the right to fire, but that I want to have a fair right to fire. Only the core will have a fair right to fire.
I don't think the team can be carried by one person's unrestricted firepower, but by the joint firepower of his teammates to complete the victory and win the championship."
At this time Ferglin coughed and spoke.
"You don't need to create this kind of topic to defraud money. 18-year-old Zhang is creating traffic. He is young, but he is not your tool to stir up trouble."
The reporter continued to ask, "Of the teams you just mentioned that can compete for the championship in the five major leagues, you first chose Juventus, and then you chose Manchester United because you knew Sir Ferguson would not retire.
What about the other teams? You said Real Madrid, Barcelona, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, but you won't go, what about Inter Milan, AC Milan, Chelsea, and Arsenal?"
Zhang Kuang: "Those who are ambitious have no strength, those who have strength have no ambition, and those who have both ambition and strength have chaotic management. Therefore, they are not my choice for the time being. When they have both strength and ambition, and their management is good, they may cooperate if both parties are willing."
Zhang Kuang's words immediately made the reporters' eyes light up again. This comment was very sharp.
Reporter: "Which team has ambition but not strength? Which team has strength but not ambition? Which team has strength and ambition but poor management?"
Zhang Kuang blinked at the reporter. "Guess! Okay, don't ask any more questions related to this? I've answered enough, you can ask Jazz and Mr. David."
Next reporter. "Zhang, your prediction accuracy before World Cup was amazing. You guessed correctly that France and Italy groups were eliminated. How did you do it?"
In the following games - will Brazil and Argentina stop in the quarterfinals? Will Spain win the championship? Will your predictions continue to come true?
Some people say that you knew the script in advance. Is there really a script for the World Cup competition? Where did you get it?"
Zhang Kuang spread his hands. "I don't have a script, and it's not like a goddess can predict the future. Everything I get is based on analysis. I just said it casually. Who knew that everything was wrong? What can I do? I blame my analysis for being too accurate?"
The reporters in the audience smiled knowingly, and then another reporter asked.
"Are you sure you figured it out through analysis? Do you know analytical tactics?"
"Otherwise? Do you really believe that I know the script in advance? The key is where did I get the script? I am a China person and had never been to Europe before December last year.
Just look at my appearance and my skin color, and you will know that I absolutely cannot be the illegitimate son of a high-ranking official from FIFA."
"Haha..." The reporters in the audience laughed again.
"Since it's not someone's illegitimate child, and I didn't buy a book to make a profit, then who gave me the script? What's the purpose of giving me the script? Just so that I can reveal the answer to the media in advance? Do you think FIFA is stupid?
In addition, people who say that I have the ability to predict the future, if I had that ability, would I still come to play football and be a player? Do you think this is a prince experiencing life? Do you have to suffer this?"
Reporter: "But we know it's not hard for you to be a football star. You've played with a lot of women."
Zhang Kuang: "Well, um, you slandered me. Did you see that this reporter slandered me? He slandered me!"
Press Officer: "Okay, okay, friends from the media still have the opportunity to ask the last question to Zhang Kuang. The rest of the questions to ask are for the Jazz and David."
At this time, the press officer pointed to a China reporter.
Reporter: "Zhang Kuang, why did you choose jersey No. 33? Why not choose No. 7, No. 9 or No. 11? After all, you are the core of the offense."
Zhang Kuang: "Currently, there are people wearing jerseys with these numbers. It is very impolite to take other people's clothes by force.
Robbery is not the gene of my culture. I am a China person, and we do not have the habit of being robbers. Besides, I think whether I am the core of the offense has nothing to do with my jersey number. Just because I wear No. 33 does not mean that I cannot score goals.
And the players who wear No. 7, 9, and 11 must have scored more goals than me? I don't think. People with strength will not care about these trivial matters at all. What I care about is whether my teammates are united on the field and whether they try their best to win. Thank you."
Bang bang bang...
Zhang Kuang Unexpectedly, his last answer won applause from the reporters.
In fact, many of Manchester United's teammates were also watching this news release, and they were all watching it at Rooney's home. Rooney specially invited everyone to his home today, because England stopped in the top 16, so they all came back to rest.
"Wow, our new teammate's eloquence is even better than Downing Street's press spokesman." Rooney smacked his lips and said while shaking his red wine glass.
O'Shea smiled, "At least he is good at uniting his teammates, isn't he? That's good. I don't want to cooperate with someone who is very alone."
"Only? It's impossible. I know Zhang's teammate very clearly. He is not enthusiastic about training, nor is he an ascetic like Cristiano Ronaldo, who has all kinds of taboos and controls women.
I heard that he has many women in private, and he plays with several at a time. I believe it is easy to get along with such a teammate." Rooney said with a smile.
"No," Evra shook his head, "If you are with this kind of person, you will only feel inferior. When the time comes, you won't be able to do anything anymore. You can only look at him, and if you get on well with him, you will even give him a push on his butt, then..."
"Haha..."
The dozen or so teammates at home were all laughing so hard. Zhang Kuang had just said at the press conference not to push people's butts, and they talked about this.
--
The current news release conference continues. The reporters no longer ask Zhang Kuang, but instead ask Ferguson and David. When it is their turn, the two of them answered more normally and more formally.
So, the problems are just that, and they have been able to cope with those problems over and over again for many years.
After the release meeting, Ferguson, David, Zhang Kuang, and Jonathan were together.
Ferguson: "Zhang, don't be fooled by reporters anymore. They end up fanning the flames and creating topics. It will be good for you to accept fewer interviews."
"BOSS, everyone calls you that, let me call you that too. In fact, I deliberately said these very controversial things. I also know why they asked, but in fact, it doesn't hurt to make the topic bigger, right?"
Zhang Kuang said with a smile.
Ferguson was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhang Kuang in surprise.
"There are benefits, but you have to analyze whether there are more benefits or more disadvantages."
"BOSS, don't worry, I will control this. If I want to compete with Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi for Ballon d'Or, I must not only score more goals than them, but also be more popular than them. Otherwise, how can the captains of the national team and media friends vote for me?
Moreover, UEFA also needs me to be a topical person. They not only need me to create topics in Europe, but also hope that I will drive the popularity of Asia.
Of course, the more topics I talk about, the more attention Manchester United will receive, the better the stock price will be, and the stronger the commercial value will be.
So, this is a win-win situation. Then, why don't I deliberately create some topics?" Zhang Kuang's words made David·Gill open his eyes and be a little stunned. He didn't expect that the player they signed also understands business operations and has such clever methods?
Ferguson felt slightly unhappy. He was about to say something, and then Zhang Kuang continued to take over the conversation.
Zhang Kuang: "Of course, I know BOSS, you want the players to focus more on the court, and you don't like the players doing so many bad things outside.
But, what if I have the attribute of 1:0 every day? Whether it's the league or UEFA Champions League, I can score more than one goal in every game. Do you think this is still a thing?"
Ferguson: "Boy, I'll give you half a season's chance. Don't let it go, or I'll let you know what Ferguson's method is."
Zhang Kuang was happy. "Don't worry, BOSS, if I can't do what I say, it's up to you to do whatever you want."
"Okay, then you can handle your personal matters. The team will gather on the 12th and go to Toronto on the 13th."
"Roger that, BOSS, I'll report in on time."

After that, Zhang Kuang went for a physical examination and went through the procedures related to "Genius Clause". Finally, everything was settled and he officially became a member of Manchester United.
After getting out of Carrington Training Ground, Zhang Kuang sat in the car and looked outside, with infinite emotion in his heart. This will be the new Qidian in his career.
At the same time, the Manchester United official website updated an announcement on time, with red letters on a black background, concise and powerful:
"Manchester United Football Club is pleased to announce that our club has reached an agreement with Ligue 1 Auxerre Club. China Player Zhang Kuang will officially transfer and sign with Manchester United Club on July 1, 2010. He will wear the No. 33 jersey and the contract will be for five years.
I look forward to Mr. Zhang Kuang showing his unprecedented talents and personal abilities and creating a better future with Manchester United. I wish him the best years at Manchester United!"
At the same time, Auxerre's official website also released an announcement:
"Auxerre Football Club confirms that Player Zhang Kuang has completed all procedures for the transfer to Manchester United. Thanks to Zhang Kuang for his contribution to the club in the past six months, and I wish him all the best with Manchester United."
Two announcements were released at the same time.
The time is just right.
The moment the message came out, the entire Internet exploded.
On Weibo, the topic "Zhang Kuang officially signed a contract with Manchester United" rushed to the top of the hot list within ten minutes.
It's not number one on the hot search list, it's number one on the hot search list.
The reading volume exceeded 300 million within half an hour.
The reason for this is that there is an eye-catching picture and text on the headline of Sina Weibo.
"It's official! It's really official! Zhang Kuang is going to Manchester United!"
"Ferguson personally took action and intercepted Hu successfully. Manchester United fans, please give Sir Alex a thumbs up!"
"Manchester United has become more promising again. Cristiano Ronaldo has been lost and a Zhang Kuang has been added. The structure of Manchester United is still stable."
"Ferguson still has great ambitions. It seems he doesn't want to retire."
"Yes, wait"
"No. 33? Why No. 33? Not No. 7 or No. 9?"
"Zhang Kuang chose it himself. He didn't want to steal the numbers of Owen and Berbatov."
"I love this layout. I love it."
"China player wears Manchester United jersey for the first time. Although it is No. 33, it is also Manchester United!"
"Damn it, I want to buy a Manchester United jersey from Zhang Kuang."
"Me too."
"Buy together."
"Where do you buy it? The official website? The official website is down."
The Manchester United official website did crash. It was not because of a hacker attack, but because too many China fans rushed to the official website to buy Zhang Kuang's No. 33 jersey. The server could not support it and went down directly.
Manchester United's public relations department quickly issued an emergency notice: "Due to excessive traffic, the official website is under emergency repair. Thank you to fans around the world for their enthusiastic support."
At this moment, China fans account for 90% of Manchester United's global fans, and half of them are other fans of Asia. They also like Zhang Kuang, a player who is handsome, goalscoring, beautiful and very popular.
