Chapter 083 Crazy Premier League

On the second day of the match with West Bromwich Albion, everyone was a little absent-minded on the training ground of Manchester City.

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

It's Zhang Yang, and now he is also a little uncomfortable. In Ligue 1 and Serie A, he was already on holiday. At this time, he is probably on the flight back to China.

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

Now, there is no winter break in the Premier League. Zhang Yang doesn't even have time to return to China for New Year's Day with his family. He is also a little depressed. After all, he is only in his twenties, and it's time to fall in love with home.

Seeing that the players were a little frustrated, the assistant coach of Manchester City didn't say anything. He used to be a player and could understand the players.

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

Subsequently, head coach Mark. Hughes said to 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 there will be a promotional video for Manchester City. This news really surprised many Manchester City players and staff. Everyone knows the importance and benefits of shooting a league promotional video. However, in general, Sky TV only looks for Manchester United, Arsenal or Chelsea and Liverpool. A rich family came to shoot, why? Because the traditional giants of these teams have countless fans outside the UK.

As for Manchester City, it has never been treated like this, because Manchester City fans are mainly in Manchester. Another reason is that Manchester City's strength is too ordinary and its influence is too small.

So, at this time, I heard the head coach Mark. In Hughes' words, Manchester City players, especially some veteran players, were surprised.

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

Sky TV has bought out the broadcasting rights of the Premier League in recent seasons. Any promotion of the Premier League as much as possible to attract 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 pay more attention to Sky TV about what the upstart will make this summer. And there is not much attention to Manchester City's competition itself.

This situation changed until Manchester City announced that Zhang Yang officially joined the team for £7 million.

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

Zhang Yang's personal influence is the most important factor that prompted Sky TV to make such a decision.

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

In the following league, Manchester City, under the leadership of Zhang Yang, once took a leading position in the standings, which made everyone look at Manchester City with new eyes. Although Manchester City's results have also fluctuated since then, Manchester City has never fallen out of the top six, and the point gap with the leader Liverpool has even been maintained within six points.

Sky TV's ratings statistics also show that when the team broadcasts Manchester City's game, the ratings are gradually increasing, which also makes Sky TV's evaluation of Manchester City very good, and even their commentators begin to have a good impression on Manchester City, such as Sky TV's gold medal commentators. Di. Gray, at first, was just a flamboyant fan, but he didn't like Manchester City at all. Now, Eddie. When Gray was commenting, he also began to praise Manchester City, because under the leadership of Zhang Yang, the team did play well, especially when Manchester City beat Arsenal 6-1 at home and Manchester United 4-2 away, which had long been praised by some Sky TV staff. It is regarded as one of the best games so far this season.

Sky TV also has a more positive evaluation of Manchester City in its own program, instead of blindly entangling in the "upstart image" brought by Manchester City's strong financial background.

This also makes the Manchester City Club get more prestige and benefits invisibly, so the relationship between Manchester City Club and Sky TV is still good.

After learning that Sky TV intends to produce a Christmas enhanced version of the Premier League promotional program, the Manchester City Club immediately contacted Sky TV, hoping to consider helping the Manchester City Club to promote it. Sky TV also believes that the Manchester City team is popular now. After another promotion, the effect may be better. Some, which is also conducive to improving the ratings of the game.

Therefore, after internal discussion, they also readily 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 ratings of TV stations will continue to improve. Everyone is happy.

The name of this promotional video is Crazy Premier League. Although the promotional video will also choose the information of some small and medium-sized teams, it will not exceed half a minute. The top priority of the promotional video is naturally Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and other big clubs; BIG4 is naturally English. The facade of Lan football, their record is great, and they have a large number of stars. Such a team can attract the wide attention of fans all over the world.

In Sky TV's plan for this program, Manchester City is not the most important part, just because after the Manchester City Club made a request for cooperation with Sky TV, the TV station communicated about this matter and analyzed some data again, which also scared Sky TV. With a jump, Manchester City Club's record, especially their goal efficiency, is the third-ranked team in the Premier League. Moreover, because of the joining of Zhang Yang and other stars, Manchester City's brand market value is also the fastest in the Premier League. Especially after Manchester City's 6-2 massacre of Arsenal at home, the team's attention has soared. On Google, the number of keywords searched for Manchester City and publicity is more than double that a month ago.

After urgent consultation, Sky TV decided to give Manchester City Club five minutes of publicity time, which is only to Manchester United and Chelsea's seven minutes, and is in the same position as Liverpool and Arsenal, which is more than five minutes!

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

Plus Robinho, as well as Modric and Wright. Phillips, Manchester City often played big scores after the start of the new season, including the slaughter of Portsmouth 7 to 0 at home and Arsenal's 6 to 2 at home. It can be said that Manchester City's most shining is their offensive line. This is also the target of Sky TV's publicity.

In the whole shooting, what Manchester City's stars have to do is very simple, that is, to cooperate with the photographer's shooting and show their best ball skills. Of course, this kind of publicity work is not a formal game, so the more fancy it is, the better, the more exciting the shooting, the better the fans are happy they are, the more the publicity will be. Success.

Although it is just a publicity campaign for a show, Manchester City's players are still very enthusiastic. Everyone knows that being able to appear in the league's promotional video is also very good for the improvement of their influence.

Of course, although everyone wants to show their faces, they will not come to grab the scene. Moreover, Sky TV also has a list. Only the players on the list will have more 'plays'.

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

This is an offensive player. Among the defensive players, there is only one Maclele.

"Which one of you will come first?" The director asked.

"Come first, Robby." Zhang Yang said to Robinho. The latter nodded happily, and then Brazil walked to the photographer's camera. After promising countless benefits, he asked Richards and Compani as supporting roles to show his dexterous foot skills and ability.

Alfaim, the chairman of Manchester City Club, who looked at all this not far away, couldn't help nodding with satisfaction. Zhang Yang took the initiative to let Robinho come first. This is an attitude that shows that Zhang Yang is broad-minded, and this is a smart young man. Zhang Yang's position in the team is beyond doubt, even if Zhang Yang is not the first. Let's shoot, but in post-production, Zhang Yang will also be the focus of the whole team, so Zhang Yang doesn't care about competing for this 'first'. Instead, it's better to be more generous and give it to his partner.

Of course, Robinho is not unaware of this, but Robinho is still happy that Zhang Yang is willing to give him face and let him come first.

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

However, now it seems that this kind of worry is not needed. On the one hand, Zhang Yang's strength and absolute strength make Robinho soft. Another point is that Zhang Yang is not as domineering in the team as some people think. This young man is tough when dealing with problems and when he should be tough. At ordinary times, I am very good at things, pay attention to uniting teammates, and do a good job.
