932 I am just me!

As the most influential football reporter in German football, as Gran Nak, he didn't need to appear in today's occasion again. He no longer needs to chase news like a young reporter. He can completely wait for the news in the office with his legs crossed his legs, and then write a few comments, spend some money on the manuscript, and life is not as comfortable as it is.

But today, he seemed to have returned to his identity as an intern, entered the Bernabeu press conference venue early, seized the first row early, and then crossed his legs, took out his Android phone and cut fruit there.

"The gold medal reporter came here in person and arrived so early, it was rare!" When Grannak was a little immersed in playing games, a familiar voice came from beside him. I saw Pozzo, the editor-in-chief of the Milan Sports Daily, sitting next to him with a smile on his face. Obviously, someone had already booked a seat.

Grannak looked up at the person, as if he thought this person was not as interesting as the fruits in the game, so he lowered his head and said, "Aren't you too? Don't tell me, you happen to be in Madrid!"

Pozzo smiled unabated, sat upright in his seat, looking directly at the chairmanship area in front of the press conference, which was higher than the press seat. This was to allow Real Madrid's head coach to stand in a higher place and allow all reporters in the audience to easily photograph him, rather than to show that Real Madrid's head coach was arrogant.

"I'm here!" Pozo sighed and said.

Grannak's hand shook his fruit and directly missed a banana, but he quickly cut it hard a few times, cutting all the apples, strawberries and the like on the phone screen, but it seemed that it was not very satisfying.

"Hey, Gran," Pozzo suddenly thought of a question. "Will his contract with the German Football Association end in 2014?"

Gran Nakr didn't raise his head, and he clicked it, which was considered an admission.

"It seems that we will say goodbye to our old friend soon!" Pozzo obviously thought of something.

"Don't worry, unless he wins the World Cup, he will never be able to retire!" Grannak said.

"What did he say?" Pozzo asked.

Grannak did not say anything, "He didn't say it, but I can see it!"

Pozzo smiled, his hands wrapped around his head and stretched his waist, "But we still have to think about it again. Without him, how should we media people live, the manuscripts will probably be lost by a lot."

"A lot of manuscripts like you that have no nutritional value will be missing, but I don't think I will lose it!" Grannak suddenly attacked Pozzo.

The latter always smiled, but said sarcastically: "Of course, who made you a gold medal reporter? I'm not!"

Youdao is a peer-to-people, one is the chief German reporter and the other is the chief Italian reporter. When they get together, they naturally don’t convince each other. But they have a good relationship with each other, and they always tease each other when they meet each other.

Perhaps, there is a group of people whose friendship is often based on sarcasm and jokes.

As time gets closer, big names appear one by one. For example, Matayana, the deputy editor-in-chief of Ass, also came to the scene in person, but Alfredo, who has a close relationship with Yang Cheng, did not appear. Maca also sent his chief reporter to appear on the scene.

Almost all of them are stepping on the time point. They enter the venue 10 minutes earlier than the press conference and then sort out the things. After all, they are all big names, and some subordinates or intern reporters have helped them occupy the best position.

Yang Cheng is famously on time, so when he arrived at 11 o'clock, he saw him walking out of the backstage accompanied by Florentino. The appearance of the two of them immediately caused a burst of crazy photos from the reporters on the scene, but more of them were reporters in the back row. The group of big figures sitting in the front row naturally did not need to chase after him to take photos. Their purpose was to interview.

There were many familiar faces present. When Yang Cheng walked out, he saw the group of old friends in the front row, smiled and greeted him, then walked to the rostrum, and stood alone with Florentino in front of a microphone.

Everyone knows that the two giants of Real Madrid held this press conference together. The matter that had been hyped for a whole year was finally coming to an end. The result that everyone was waiting for was finally coming to light.

"Thank you all for attending today's press conference!" Florentino said first after the venue was quiet, "Today, we invited so many journalists from all over the world to the Bernabeu. The main reason is that there is a change in personnel and wants to announce it. On behalf of the board of directors and management of Real Madrid, I have officially accepted the resignation letter submitted by Mr. Yang Cheng."

"After playing all the games in the 2011/2012 season, Mr. Yang Cheng will officially leave the position of Real Madrid head coach. The current chief assistant coach in the team, our former great captain, Raul will become the head coach of Real Madrid next season. Mr. Yang Cheng and I agree that Raul is the best candidate for the team."

While Florentino was speaking, the reporters below kept recording, while the group of reporters in the front row were staring at the two people on the stage, as if they were trying to dig out more and more rich details and content from their words and deeds.

"We are very grateful to Mr. Yang Cheng for all the honors he has brought to the club in the past six years. He is our pride and a hero in the minds of all Real Madrid fans. We will never forget the happiness he has brought to us. I wish him better and better performance on the new stage."

"Although Mr. Yang Cheng resigned from his position as head coach of Real Madrid, he will continue to serve in Real Madrid's management. He will continue to serve as the club's director of the athletics and technical director. He will also be the consultant to the new head coach of Raul next season. We believe he will continue to make outstanding contributions to the club."

When Florentino finished speaking, he pointed his right hand at Yang Cheng and signaled to give the rostrum to Yang Cheng to speak.

The reporters in the audience immediately burst into an extremely warm applause, both for Florentino and welcome Yang Cheng. They all hoped to hear him telling him about leaving Real Madrid from Yang Cheng's mouth.

Yang Cheng stood in front of the microphone and waved his hand at the reporter below, and the venue immediately calmed down.

Everyone looked at the man in unison. He was wearing a straight suit and looked very clean. He no longer appeared in training suits like he usually did, but such details represent his determination.

"There is a saying in my motherland. There is a banquet that will be separated in the world, which means that everything will end one day, and everyone will be separated, and I am no exception."

"In the past decade, I have gained a lot and lost a lot!" Yang Cheng spoke very slowly. It is obviously different from the speed and concise he had when holding press conferences on weekdays. "But what I am most proud of so far is that I can say with a clear conscience that I have never been sorry for anyone."

When he talked about this, Yang Cheng had no intention of pausing, but there was a burst of warm applause at the scene, which forced him to swallow back the words he wanted to say and paused.

"I have to thank my assistants, my players, and also thank you many people present. Without your help, I would definitely not be able to be today, of course. I also want to say sorry to some people, especially colleagues from the Ministry of Commerce of the team I have coached. I know that there must be many people who hate me in their hearts and wish I could leave early."

When he talked about this, he had a relaxed smile on his face and showed no sign of grudge. This made many people present smile because Yang Cheng's stubbornness is famous. Especially in the pre-season training camp, the team was banned from participating in some commercial activities, especially those that affected the training, and there was no need to even talk about it.

So, there is a reason why people from the Ministry of Commerce don’t like him.

But if Yang Cheng himself is considered, the people from the Ministry of Commerce will definitely love him to death, because as long as you get the operating rights of Yang Cheng's golden paint sign, all commercial operations can be easily carried out, and twice the result is twice the result with half the effort. Even those biggest superstars do not have such appeal and influence.

"I believe that there must be many reporters present who hate me in their hearts, because some of my practices have obviously hurt their interests, but I still have a saying today that the relationship between media and football has become harmonious and complementary, but can this promote the development of the two major fields in a row?"

"A reporter once told me, Mr. Yang Cheng, we no longer need to report on the competition. What we are looking for is scraps, gossip, interesting news, and creating controversy is the king. We must use the first few sentences to attract the attention of readers. We must use titles that are so big that we find incredible to achieve shocking results."

When Yang Cheng said this, he smiled, "In the past decade, I have been a beneficiary of this reporting model, but I have also been a victim of this reporting model, so this makes me very clear that many times, football, business and media must distinguish clear boundaries."

"I have no right to ask for anything. This is purely an experience and advice from an old man who is about to leave this field!"

There are many reporters below who have different expressions. Some people obviously think that Yang Cheng’s words have positive significance, but some people must think that he should not say that, but no matter who it is, they have to admit it. This is a big truth.

It was when Yang Cheng was about to leave that he would tell the truth so frankly.

"Leaving Real Madrid is not an easy thing for me, but as I said before, anything will end. No matter how reluctant you are or how sad you are, you have to make a choice."

"I love Real Madrid. I hope to fight side by side with this team all my life, stand with all Meilingge, cheer for this team, and I sincerely hope that Real Madrid without Yang Cheng can become better."

"And I myself, I never think I am such an amazing person, I never think I am a star, I don't think I have any commercial value. If I make a choice, I hope very much, everyone and all media in the future. When I mention the name Yang Cheng, I can simply introduce it. He was once the head coach of Real Madrid, for me, this is enough!"

"I hope everyone remembers that Yang Cheng, as the head coach, is because that is my favorite self!"

Yang Cheng's words once again received a burst of warm applause from the audience.

This head coach with the most influential and commercial appeal in football today, in the end his greatest wish is to hope that all media can report him as a footballer, rather than a star or a superstar.

This wish seems humble and insignificant, but in fact it is so far away.

Not to mention anything else, so many reporters gathered at the Bernabeu press conference venue. Could it be that they are aimed at the head coach of Real Madrid? Wrong, they are all for Yang Cheng's influence and appeal. Without these, I'm afraid they may not be following Yang Cheng as much as they are now, and paying attention to Real Madrid's every move.

Sometimes things in the world are really like sieges. People inside try their best to come out, but people outside try their best to squeeze in, and it looks like a game where God is playing the world.

…………

…………

The next day, when the front page headlines of major newspapers around the world posted the news that Yang Cheng would leave Real Madrid after the end of this season, the whole world was in a mess. Especially Real Madrid fans all over the world seemed very excited, and even some extreme Real Madrid fans who could not control themselves had a problem. They were arrested by local police.

In Madrid, Real Madrid fans seemed to be the calmest, but there were still thousands of Real Madrid fans who arrived at the Valdebebas training base early in the morning, held high the banner of Yang Cheng at the gate of the training base, shouting slogans. The number of people increased, and in the end it exceeded 30,000.

This immediately alarmed the Madrid police. They arranged personnel to come to the scene to maintain order, but Real Madrid fans did not disperse at the gate for a long time. Some of them even shouted that they would go on a hunger strike here. If Yang Cheng did not stay in Real Madrid, they would go on a hunger strike to the end.

Yang Cheng was in the training base, but he did not show up from beginning to end because he didn't know how to face this group of emotional fans. He was very grateful to the fans for their support and affirmation, but he had to leave.

Real Madrid's official immediately arranged personnel to go to the Valdebebas training base to appease the fans, and said that Yang Cheng had only resigned from Real Madrid's head coaching position, and he would continue to serve in Real Madrid's management and serve as the club's technical director, and did not leave Real Madrid.

However, the fans were obviously not satisfied with such changes. They protested excitedly. Some extreme fans even said that if they could not keep Yang Cheng's words, Florentino would have to step down.

The news that Yang Cheng was leaving Real Madrid has been circulating, but the official did not give an explanation. Everyone was in his heart and subconsciously asked a question mark, because the official statement has a veto power, no matter how true or vivid you were before, it would be fine. As long as the statement given by the official is negative, then it would be negative.

But now, the official statement is affirmative, which is equivalent to cutting off all Real Madrid fans' last hope, making them feel unacceptable.

Although it only took 6 years, they followed Yang Cheng along the way, survived the team's trough, and tasted the joy and happiness of their peak period. This made all Real Madrid fans agree with Yang Cheng from the bottom of their hearts, believing that he is synonymous with Real Madrid's head coach and the only candidate.

They couldn't accept it suddenly, even more so some people thought that Florentino and other management were forcing him to go away!

Conspiracy theories often have a lot of room for survival when they are sensitive, which forced Florentino to hold another press conference the next day to explain everything to the outside world, saying that the club had tried every means to keep Yang Cheng, but in the end, Yang Cheng chose to leave.

"We have no reason at all, and we should not stop him from pursuing our goals. If we support him and respect him, we should give him blessings and encouragement, so that he can prove himself again on a new stage!"

Florentino's words also won the convincing of rational fans, especially the news revealed from Yang Cheng's Weibo. He has a very good relationship with Florentino and the club management. It is obvious that there is no trace of conspiracy. It is just that Yang Cheng himself chose to retreat bravely.

On the third day, at the press conference of the King's Cup final, Yang Cheng answered many reporters' questions. He said that he left Real Madrid to be more focused on the German national team, hoping to make a difference in the upcoming European Cup and the 2014 Brazil World Cup.

"I am very grateful for their love. I love Real Madrid and will always fight side by side with Real Madrid fans. My departure is only temporary. When I fulfill my wishes and goals, I will definitely come back!"

As soon as Yang Cheng's words were heard, in addition to a small number of extreme fans who continued to be dissatisfied, other Real Madrid fans gradually accepted this fact. They also knew that even if Yang Cheng came back, he would definitely not be the team's head coach or other positions, but like them, he would be an ordinary Real Madrid fan.

But no matter what, although they are reluctant to part with each other and sad, they still have to bless Yang Cheng, because this is the best reward for Yang Cheng. However, this group of Real Madrid fans also said that they will give Yang Cheng an unforgettable farewell for life.

However, no one knows what kind of farewell is, because everything is going on in secret.
