Soccer: If they're using these kinds of cheats, what's the point of training?

When Zhang Kuang woke up the next day, he found a message from his agent Jonathan informing him of the headline story in The Sun and asking if he was free to go to the agency that day.

Zhang Kuang was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected The Sun to be so bored as to interview those four women. The key question was, did those four women actually agree to be interviewed?

This?

Don't these four women care about their reputations? They're openly exposing their involvement in this kind of group sex to the media?

His arrogant values ​​have been overturned once again; he really knows how to let go.

So he went downstairs and bought a copy of The Sun. After reading the whole report, he was speechless. What kind of nonsense was this?

Forget it, I'll just go to the agency and see what they have to say.

The Sun's report was translated into various languages ​​in the shortest possible time and then spread around the world online.

This content has sparked a tsunami of discussion on social media in various countries.

In China, five of the top ten trending topics on Weibo are related to arrogance—"Arrogant Four Joys," "Arrogant The Sun," "Arrogant and Four French Women," etc.

"Damn it, to be honest, this reporter from The Sun spoke my mind. I don't want to criticize his arrogance at all; on the contrary, I envy him."

He not only brought glory to the country on the sports field, but also to Chinese men and to all Asian men in bed. Tell me, which other Asian man can get four white women to sleep with him and then praise him afterward?

"Wow, now that you mention it, it's true. Arrogance is the pride of Chinese men. So why should we criticize him? We should support him!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Support Zhang Kuang! Let's vindicate Chinese men!"

"I support Zhang Kuang for showcasing the masculinity of Chinese men to Western women!"

"support……"

"Don't you people know that as a football player, this kind of behavior is tantamount to ruining your own career?"

"Yes, how can you support such morally corrupt arrogance?"

"Exactly, it's unacceptable for someone to act so arrogantly. If it were me, it would be fine..."

"..."

In France, L'Équipe's commentary was more restrained in its title: "The Arrogance Effect: When a Chinese Player Becomes the Talk of Parisian Art Circles."

The article writes:

"This interview in The Sun shows us a different side of him than his flamboyant persona on the pitch. On the pitch, he is violent, direct, and unreasonable."

His goal-scoring methods are simple and brutal—long-range shots, headers, and close-range finishes. He overwhelms opponents with power, tears apart defenses with speed, and conquers the skies with his leaping ability.

But in the descriptions of those four women, Zhang Kuang was handsome, charming, interesting, thoughtful, and had superb bedroom skills. He could talk to you about Wong Kar-wai's films, about Martha Graham's dances, give you specific art advice, and discuss the differences between Eastern and Western philosophy.

These two completely different images are concentrated in the same person.

This is perhaps what makes Zhang Kuang truly special—he is a multi-dimensional, three-dimensional, and complex person. He is not simply a "goal machine," he is an interesting person.

On Twitter, a large number of people are discussing:

"Shit, is this real? Is there really such a perfect man? I want him so badly."

"Hey upstairs, watch your step. With that big beard, you shouldn't get involved. Chinese men are conservative, and I doubt they'd be very interested in men with big beards."

"You're talking nonsense! That's discrimination! How do you know Zhang from China doesn't like big beards? Can you decide his sexual orientation?"

"Dude, wake up. If he really liked men, the news wouldn't be about him with four girls, it would be about him with four handsome guys."

"Couldn't he be a two-pronged guy? How can you be so quick to conclude that he doesn't like a big beard like mine?"

"...Fine, you win. Why don't you try going to find Zhang from China?"

"Hmph! I don't have his number, otherwise he would definitely have his eye on me."

"..."

"Really? Is this true? I doubt even someone as strong as Jackie Chan could be this arrogant. I declare that Zhang Kuang is my second idol after Bruce Lee. Any man who can demonstrate the prowess of the Chinese in the West is someone I admire."

"That's true. Bruce Lee conquered Western men, while arrogance conquered Western women!"

"Good news, let us strengthen the might of the Chinese people!"

"Baka! Why did the Chinese manage to do something so important in boosting the virility of Eastern men?"

"Terrible! We Korean men are the strongest in the East."

"Really? I heard that Korean women can seduce Korean men using only their thumb and forefinger."

"Ah, do you want to die?"

"..."

The internet was abuzz with discussion, and many star players and even some idiots felt a surge of resentment and resolved to challenge Zhang Kuang.

Mario Balotelli has already made arrangements; he has secretly arranged to meet eight girls, aiming to double the number, and he wants to prove that he, Mario, is the strongest man on earth.

He not only arranged for girls, but also for cameras and reporters. He wanted to prove himself. However, during the challenge that night, he collapsed when he reached the third girl. He failed the challenge and could no longer continue no matter how hard he tried.

Then he told the reporter that he truly admired Zhang Kuang, who was indeed very powerful, even a bit more powerful than Mario.

Of course, these are all digressions, things that will happen later. Now that Zhang Kuang has gone to the agency, the people there look at him with a strange expression.

Some girls' eyes hold a hint of eagerness, while some men's eyes hold a longing that wishes they could share some of their abilities.

"Hi, Zhang, you're here? Please have a seat, we're discussing something about you."

Jonathan gestured for Zhang Kuang to sit down, and then everyone continued their discussion.

Jonathan: "Zhang, you know what? You're getting a lot of attention these days, the media seems to be talking about you all the time. So, what are your thoughts on this?"

"Thoughts? What thoughts? I don't have any thoughts." Zhang Kuang was a little confused.

"Well, that's how it is. Generally, players in this situation will only do one of three things:"

The first step is to apologize, to acknowledge to the public that your private life has made them feel morally uncomfortable, and therefore to apologize.

The second option is to bribe the media and the parties involved to keep quiet. As long as the media and the parties involved don't speak out, the matter will lose its appeal.

Thirdly, let the hype grow, then strategically maneuver to reverse the positive feedback. This approach is actually more appealing to clubs and brands because it allows them to see your commercial value.

After Jonathan finished speaking, Zhang Kuang finally understood that this was how it could be done. The main problem was that he had never understood or been familiar with these things in his two lifetimes combined.

He thought that all a football player needed to do was keep scoring goals, and that the media attention and public discussion were irrelevant.

It turns out that there are also media relations, commercial value, and future transfer matters behind this.

Zhang Kuang thought for a moment and said, "The third option is to find some media outlets to write some advertorials to build my playboy image. This way, I'll have some buzz, my image won't be too bad, and my commercial value will be higher."

Jonathan clapped his hands, very excited.

"Great, it seems you don't mind the troubles your popularity brings. You are indeed very suitable for the path of a traffic star. Controversy and popularity will only help your future business."

Zhang laughed wildly: "Ha, you're worried I'm not shameless enough, aren't you? Don't worry, I don't care at all if the media knows about my relationships with many women."

Also, Jonathan, I'll be surrounded by more women from now on, so get used to it and help me with public relations. Don't worry, although I enjoy playing around with women, I have principles.

First, I won't touch minors; second, I won't solicit prostitutes; third, I won't engage in same-sex relationships; fourth, I won't go to Denmark to try bestiality; fifth, I won't engage in group sex parties while intoxicated.

Jonathan: "Zhang, aren't you worried that indulging in women will drain you and affect your health?"

Zhang Kuang waved his hand: "Jonathan, this is exactly what I wanted to tell you. You don't need to worry about this at all. As for the reason, you don't need to ask."

Don't worry, I care about my career more than you do. I dream of becoming the king of football, and I know that in my heart. You just need to handle my business partnerships and media image.

Jonathan shrugged. This was the second time Zhang Kuang had stated that he understood the impact of his behavior on his career, so there was no need to say anything more.

"Some media outlets want to interview you, for an exclusive interview. Will you accept?"

"I'll take it, but not now. It's best to wait until I'm number one on the goalscoring charts. Of course, it would be even better at the end of the season."

"Why so late?"

"That way I'll be able to speak more confidently and assertively in interviews."

"A brand has contacted us, wanting you to be their spokesperson. Will you accept?"

"I'm not taking it for now; we'll talk about it at the end of the season."
