Chapter 43: Fame begins to emerge, and notoriety spreads far and wide!
Players lounge.
McCarthy called Song Wen out alone and said helplessly:
"Song, your behavior just now was a bit too arrogant."
Hearing McCarthy's words, Song Wen shrugged in confusion.
"What's wrong? If an apology is useful, what do we need the police for?"
"That's not what I meant," McCarthy shook his head. "I will handle Douglas's matter. But there were so many reporters here just now. If your words and actions are released, it's inevitable that..."
"It's not dead, it's not dead," Song Wen consoled him. "I don't rely on fans to help me score goals on the field. You know, I never care about these things. When I was in China, I was scolded a lot, let alone here."
Song Wen's answer left McCarthy somewhat helpless to refute.
Because this kid really doesn't seem to care about his image.
But as the coach of the team, he still wanted to protect his players. Thinking that the media announcement of Douglas and Song Wen's discord had probably been leaked, he tentatively said, "Then the press conference later..."
Song Wen's eyes lit up, and he interrupted without hesitation: "I must go to the press conference!"
McCarthy knew the boy would answer like this.
He was a little confused about Song Wen. He clearly didn't care about his fans or his image, but he particularly liked going to press conferences.
How could McCarthy know that Song Wen didn't care about his fans, but only cared about his haters.
Not long after, the staff came over and led McCarthy, Song Wen and others to the interview room.
Looking at the simple interview room and the few reporters, Song Wen couldn't help but miss the days when he was interviewed in China.
Although the Chinese national football team cannot even beat the lower-level teams in the English Championship, its hardware facilities and attention are not something that the mere English Championship teams can match.
What Song Wen didn't know was that it was because his performance in today's game was too outstanding, coupled with the internal conflicts in the team that were reported after the game, that attracted more media reporters. Otherwise, only a few media would come to interview as a formality.
As soon as Song Wen appeared behind McCarthy, reporters turned their cameras to him.
McCarthy also knew that Song Wen was undoubtedly the protagonist today, so he just sat aside quietly and didn't even bother to turn on the microphone.
As a player making his first appearance in the Championship, Song Wen had previously been unknown and almost no one knew him.
Of course, when Song Wen scored his first goal and broke the record for the fastest goal by a new player in the Championship, these media had already begun investigating Song Wen.
Asian orphans.
I have been in the Ipswich professional team for nearly a year but have never played.
In the match against the Chinese national team some time ago, he scored four goals, provided two assists to his teammates, and helped the opponent to score an own goal, helping Ipswich to a 7:0 score.
When these media first found out about this news, their first reaction was not shock but suspicion and verification.
Because it was hard for them to believe that a national team would be beaten 7:0 by a team at the bottom of the Championship.
The media felt that this was definitely fake news.
When they began to verify the truth on Chinese social media, their suspicion of Song Wen quickly turned into suspicion of football.
Since this was just a friendly match, not many people abroad paid attention to these things.
But as the media verified this explosive fact, the Chinese national football team's magical record of 7:0 soon spread to every inch of the British Isles.
Song Wen contributed six goals and four assists in the two games combined, averaging three goals and two assists per game. Such data naturally attracted countless media reporters to flock to him.
"Hello Song Wen, today is your first appearance in the English Championship and you have achieved such a good result. How do you feel now?"
The reporter's initial interview was very official.
Song Wen also gave two very official answers, such as "very excited and very happy".
But soon, the topic of the interview began to deviate and become increasingly sharp.
"Some media reported that you went to a spa called Chun Yang Spa on the eve of the match against Fulham Football Club. Does this have anything to do with you running out of energy after ten minutes on the field?" "It is said that when you were in China, you made a lot of bad comments about the Chinese national football team. What was your purpose?"
"Fulham got three red cards. Do you think that's fair?"
These questions from second-tier media made coach McCarthy frown and he wanted to interrupt several times.
But Song Wenming was only seventeen years old, but he was very adept at dealing with these media, and his answers were flawless. Even McCarthy wondered whether he could be as comfortable as Song Wen.
"After the game, we saw that you and your teammate Douglas seemed to have some disputes. Douglas wanted to shake hands with you, but you refused. Is this true?"
McCarthy instinctively became nervous when he heard the reporter's question.
What was coming had finally come. He just hoped that Song Wen could smooth over the matter as he had done before.
However, Song Wen nodded with a smile.
"This is true."
Even the reporter who asked the question was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect Song Wen to so openly admit that he had a conflict with his teammates.
"May I ask what the reason is?"
McCarthy lowered his head and remained silent.
Things have come to this point, and since Song Wen has already admitted it, there is no other way.
Fortunately, Douglas was indeed in the wrong in this matter. As long as Song Wen explains it clearly, even if others find fault with him, they can only say that Song Wen is not broad-minded enough.
However, Song Wen's next remarks made McCarthy drop his jaw.
"Ah~ There's no special reason. I just saw Douglas wipe his poop with his hands, so I felt a little disgusted."
Song Wen's words stunned everyone present. Only then did McCarthy understand what Song Wen meant by overestimating his moral bottom line.
This kid seems to have no moral bottom line at all.

The next morning.
Diaomao rushed into Song Wen's room early and woke Song Wen up from his sweet dream.
He stayed up all night last night reading the news and now he can't bear it anymore.
"Song, wake up! Something terrible has happened. The internet is full of negative information about you!"
Song Wen rubbed his eyes and picked up his phone to look at it.
#Douglas took the initiative to show his friendship but was scolded by Song Wen, because he was too tired to high-five Song Wen when he left the court#
#Aluk said he was attacked by Song Wen's discriminatory remarks during the game#

#Songwen is disliked by 70% of British people, while 20% say they have no feelings#
#Genius or cancer? Sports quality or human character? #
As he read the news releases, Song Wen's eyes became brighter and brighter.
These media are like this, as long as they are given some groundless information, they can always perform very well.
Just one game.
Song Wen's football skills began to become famous in England.
But his notoriety has begun to spread far and wide, and one day he will be known to everyone in Great Britain.
Song Wen looked through it again and found another piece of hot news.
#Norwich coach says Song Wen has more luck than strength and is an opponent that is easier to study and target#
Song Wen had just woken up and his mind was a little confused. He subconsciously asked:
"What's Norwich doing?"
"Norwich is our opponent in the next game!"
Diaomao's expression seemed a little excited.
"If only I could play, it's an East Anglian derby!"
