Chapter 158 Mendes and Mourinho
For a while, all kinds of praise, such as the tide of the Seine River, came to Zhang Yangyang. Countless media, the so-called football experts, compared Zhang Yang with some famous shooters in world football. This is not surprising. For example, the Netherlands and Serie A have a successor to Basten every year. Similarly, the media are talking about this comparison. In their opinion, only this comparison can arouse the infinite reverie of fans, which is also a selling point.
Some say that Zhang Yang's style is like Inzaghi, and some say that it is like the current King of Arsenal Henry. However, after the game between Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain, there is a saying among Marseille fans that it has become popular. They say that Zhang Yang is like Drogba, mainly because Zhang Yang's foot under the pull of Yepes. The goal was scored, which made the Marseille fans with the 'Droba plot' find some glorious memories.
However, Zhang Yang himself does not like this kind of comparison very much. In fact, for a shooter, the current fans' memories of the former shooter will make him very unhappy, which means that he has not reached a height, so that the current fans are enough to forget the height of the former.
It can be said that the media will compare Zhang Yang with world superstars such as Inzaghi and Henry, which is definitely the biggest praise for this young man. However, of course, Zhang Yang also knows that he would rather believe that there are ghosts in the world than what the media said. This is his first Ligue 1 season, a game. Hat trick, the media praised himself like this... He had no doubt that if he didn't score goals in two consecutive games, he would fall directly from the sky. The higher the praise, the worse the fall.
※※※※※※※※※
Zhang Yang still remembers that not long ago, before he fell into a goal drought, although there were also media such as the Feigaro newspaper who hacked himself, most of the media still praised it. Then, there was no goal in a game, and then there was no play in the game, and all kinds of doubts and criticisms came one after another.
And during the previous ban, all kinds of criticisms, butchers, executioners, no professional ethics, not worthy of playing football, and so on, the sky is like a knife. Now, after the comeback, a hat trick. All kinds of flattery and praise came back, and it became more and more intense.
Although this is only Zhang Yang's first professional season, and he is still young, Zhang Yang is no longer a rookie when facing all kinds of comments from the media. After experiencing the twists and turns of some time ago, Zhang Yang can already treat all kinds of comments from the outside world calmly. When he talked on the phone with China, Dad He and the eldest brother did not forget to teach Zhang Yang often, and warned him to recognize himself, guard against arrogance and impatience. When he was criticized, he should not be discouraged, and when he was praised, he should not be self-righteous. Never forget the essence and original intention of playing football. It's not wrong to be young and frivolous, but when you need it, you should keep an indifferent heart as much as possible.
Of course, Zhang Yang knows that he is a few pounds. Compared with Henry, he can't catch up with it now. He is the 'King of Hybri', one of the greatest shooters on the planet. He has won the Premier League golden boots, the Premier League champion, the World Cup champion, and the European Cup champion. He is just a professional student. In the first season of Ya, it is really incomparable.
You can catch up with Henry as your own goal, but if you really take what the media says, you will be a big fool.
※※※※※※※※※
The world of football is actually like this. The winner is the king. If you win the game and perform well, you will be immediately praised. But if you don't perform well, you will immediately fall down and fall miserably.
Zhang Yang will still read newspapers, pay attention to the media's comments on himself, and try to ignore the noise of the media. Their praises, and listening to them, his heart is naturally comfortable. That's all. Don't take it too seriously.
As for the media to interview himself, Zhang Yang also said that as long as the team agrees, he will cooperate seriously. If the team does not agree, he has no choice.
After experiencing the ban, Zhang Yang is also more mature than before. He began to truly integrate into his current life. He is a public figure and a football star. Every move is not a trivial matter.
Many young players are a little carried away in the face of media praise after they have just become famous. At first, they don't know how to work hard, and eventually become mediocre.

After the game, Zhang Yang returned to his residence and received a phone call from his family. Dad was very happy. He saw his son's excellent performance on TV, which made Zhang's father, who was worried that Zhang Yang's condition did not know whether he was good or bad after the suspension, was relieved. During this period, Zhang's father often called. Give it to Zhang Yang and urge him not to relax his requirements and train hard when there is no competition. At this time, Zhang Yang agreed with a smile, and occasionally spoke ill of himself, saying that he was not good at training one day, which attracted his father's reprimand. In fact, it may be just a mistake in Zhang Yang's training, but Zhang Yang magnified the mistake. He likes to listen to his father's scolding and nagging, which will make him wander abroad alone and feel the care of his family through this electromagnetic wave.
In fact, he himself trained quite hard, not to mention the normal training. After the training, he also practiced with his teammates Yahioi and Louis of the youth team, returned to his residence, and practiced himself to death in the copy. If it is said that the team works the hardest, it must be publicity.
Behind the success is the sweat that others can't see.

Mendes was not surprised that he received a phone call from Mourinho. In the match between Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain, he did not go to watch the game live, but watched it in front of the TV. He was already in Barcelona at this time. There was something wrong with the renewal of the contract between Deco and Barcelona. He came to deal with it.
When he saw Zhang Yang scored twice in the game, Mendes laughed. He also saw Mourinho in the stands on TV. He knew that Zhang Yang's performance was enough to move Mourinho.
Thinking of the moment when I recommended Zhang Yang to Jose before, this proud guy was a little disapproving tone, and Mendes was a little angry. The players recommended by my super agent Mendes were all quality-assured.
"Hey, Jose, how was your trip to France?" Mendes said with a smile, "That I'Ivoire boy is good. I heard that he scored a goal."
Mourinho frowned. He is a proud guy. Of course, he doesn't like others to talk to himself in a proud tone, and Mendes on the other end of the phone seems to know Mourinho's temper. Mendes immediately smiled and continued, "Okay, I'm not kidding. Is my player like this? I told you, you will be bright."
His player in Mendes' mouth naturally refers to publicity at this time.
※※※※※※※※※
"A good young man with potential." Mourinho immediately gave a positive answer. He learned about the signing process between Mendes and Zhang Yang before, and joked, "I didn't expect you to pick up such a treasure when you went to Marseille."
"No, no, no, this is not picked up." Mendes said, "This is the result of my hard work. God rewards hard work."
Mourinho shook his head, and this old friend was so virtuous.
"Jose, do you know what attracts me most?" Mendes suddenly asked.
Mourinho shook his head and said he didn't know. His impression of Zhang Yang is limited to this game. He really doesn't know much about anything else, so he didn't mention that he wanted to bring Zhang Yang to Chelsea at all. Mourinho is not the kind of head coach who will sign a check after watching a game.
"seriously." Mendes said, "Compared with his talent, I appreciate his serious attitude more. Any great player is not because of talent, but because of their efforts and attitude."
Mourinho nodded. He agreed with this, and he was really interested in publicity, because Mourinho himself is a head coach who pays great attention to the attitude of the players. His players may not be the kind of talented genius, but he must be a strict executor of tactics on the court. The training is serious, and the competition is serious.
※※※※※※※※※
"So, you recommended this young man to me." Mourinho said.
"No, no, no." Mendes shook his head, "He is not suitable for your Chelsea."
"Why?" Now it's Mourinho's turn to be surprised, he asked.
"Your Chelsea doesn't have his position now. I believe it's the young man you follow called Kalu, who is just a substitute." Mendes answered himself. He knew that the answer was yes, so he continued, "Zhang wants to play the main force. Now for him, the substitute of the rich family is unacceptable. Now is the time for him to grow the fastest, and playing the game is the most important."
Mourinho knows that Mendes is right. Even if he buys Kalu, this Iodivish young man is also a substitute in Chelsea. It's good to be able to play more than a dozen games in a season.
※※※※※※※※※
"Jose, let me ask you a question." Mendes suddenly asked seriously.
"You said." Mourinho was a little surprised.
"If I could run Zhang Yang to join Chelsea, would you give him the first substitute?" Mendes asked that he did not ask for the main force's identity. He knew that it was impossible, but if he was the first substitute, he believed that both he and Zhang Yang could consider it. The intensity of the Premier League is much higher than that of Ligue 1. In addition to the Champions League, which is also helpful for Zhang Yang's growth.
"Impossible." Mourinho said without any hesitation that Chelsea's front line is full of talents. Even if he is the first substitute, there are two or three stars to compete. Zhang Yang obviously has no chance.
"Forget it." Mendes said with a smile, "Don't regret it in two years. At that time, it will cost a lot of money.
"No one will make me regret it." Mourinho said, but when he said this, he had no reason to hesitate when he thought of the boy who staged a hat-trick today.
※※※※※※※※※
"Yes, are the Ukrainians going to you?" Mendes asked Mourinho that as a super agent, he was still well informed about these things in the football circle.
"Don't ask me about this." Mourinho said with a sneer.
When Mendes heard Mourinho's tone, he stopped asking. He knew that Mourinho never asked to buy Shepchenko. It was Chelsea boss Abu who loved Ukrainian nuclear warheads.
Thinking of this, Mendes secretly said that it was a pity. Now Zhang Yang is just emerging. If he waits for another season or two, if Shepchenko leaves AC Milan at that time, he is willing to run Zhang Yang to join the Rossoneri.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yang is still a complete rookie, and it is almost impossible to gain a foothold in a rich family.
