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

Indeed, neither French nor European law states that it is illegal for a man to have relationships with four women, as long as it is consensual.

"But, but, you've set a bad example, encouraging some of your fans or young players to follow your example and do the same. Wouldn't that create chaos? This is the kind of behavior that everyone doesn't want to see—your violation of moral boundaries."

"That's what the reporter from The Sun said."

"Haha, so does Denmark's allowance of bestiality violate moral boundaries? Does the presence of red-light districts and brothels throughout Europe violate moral boundaries? Does the Czech Republic's production of adult films violate moral boundaries?"

"Don't politicians and wealthy people who casually exploit women cross moral boundaries? I've also heard of missionaries engaging in pedophilia; doesn't that cross moral boundaries? Why don't you criticize and question these phenomena? Why do you question a foreigner who is acting legally and compliantly?"

Almost all the reporters were dumbfounded. Was this the sharp response a football player should give?

Is this a boy who is only eighteen years old?

This arrogant attitude is quite different from those uncultured, academically challenged European players. He even understands critical thinking? That's interesting.

"But you can't deny that as a football player, you have to abide by many club rules, and most club rules don't allow players to be overly obsessed with women, because it's bad for the players."

"That's what the reporter said."

Zhang Kuang: "What does it mean to be obsessed with women? If you're married and have sex with your wife every night, does that count as being obsessed with women? Does that mean athletes can't get married? Because once you're in a relationship or married, you definitely can't help but have sex with her."

"That's different!"

"What's the difference? Isn't it the same kind of relationship? Isn't it the same kind of thing where you just go to sleep exhausted after venting? What's the essential difference between doing the same thing with your wife or other women? There's no difference."

Besides, it's not illegal, nor does it violate team regulations. It's not like I'm playing passively, skipping training, or disrupting team unity. So, what's the problem?

He retorted arrogantly and sharply.

The reporters exchanged bewildered glances. This Zhang from China was quite something; he had managed to leave them speechless, a first in the football world.

"But you're setting a bad example for teenagers and young players."

"If you're really afraid of corrupting teenagers, then shut down brothels, define Czech filming crews as illegal, ban bestiality venues in Denmark, eliminate red-light districts in the Netherlands, and monitor the behavior of the powerful and wealthy who philander with women and children. Wouldn't that be more meaningful than watching my behavior?"

The arrogant tone wasn't harsh, but it left the reporter with a sense of helplessness, unable to refute it.

"Aren't you worried that being obsessed with women will affect your career?" a reporter asked.

Zhang Kuang laughed and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I care about my career more than you do. I know the impact of my actions on myself. I'm an adult and I will take responsibility for my actions."

"Are you saying that many football clubs have wrong rules for their players?" a reporter asked.

Zhang Kuang: "I didn't say these things are wrong. It's fine to regulate young players under 18 who lack self-control, but I'm 18 years old. I'm an adult."

Reporter: "Zhang, you've scored 9 goals in three league matches, currently ranking 6th on the goalscoring charts. When do you think you'll reach the top of the charts?"

Zhang Kuang: "That's the question we should be asking the players. Nine goals in three games, then in three or four more games, I should be number one. It's a very simple math problem."

"Huh? You're so confident you can score two or three goals or more every game?"

"I have a lot of confidence in myself. I'm a striker, and my job is to keep scoring goals. That's my firm belief, and the Golden Boot is my fundamental goal."

"What other purpose is there besides the basic one?"

"Helping the team win the championship after realizing one's own value is a basic quality of a player."

Are you confident of winning the league title this year?

"Of course I'm confident, but it's not enough for me to be confident alone. We also need the teamwork and hard work of everyone in the team. After all, football is not a sport where one hero can win the championship."

Reporters were surprised by Zhang's mature handling of the media; he seemed more like a seasoned veteran than an eighteen-year-old player.

"That……"

The reporters then asked many more questions, which Zhang Kuang answered one by one. When he saw that the reporters had no more questions, he said goodbye and entered the base.

As soon as Zhang Kuang entered, everyone gave him a thumbs up. They all listened to Zhang Kuang's interview outside and were truly impressed by his ability to handle reporters; he was really amazing.

Zhang Kuang chuckled, then went to change his gear to prepare for training.

"Zhang, you've got the air of a football superstar. To be honest, none of our players can answer reporters like this yet," Humbert said, patting Zhang Kuang on the shoulder.

"Yes, Zhang, your answer was excellent. I was so excited to see those reporters unable to refute it," Dennis Olicch nodded in agreement.

"Haha, those are minor issues, well..."

Just as Zhang Kuang was about to boast, head coach Fernandez arrived.

"Alright, we can talk after training. Let's get back to training."

Following Fernandez's words, everyone began training. Meanwhile, reporters outside the base surrounded the training ground and started taking pictures. Since they were already there, they figured they might as well make the most of it.

But just an hour later, the news broke!

L'Équipe: "China's Arrogance: My Sexual Relationships with Four Women Are Legal and Compliant; Criticize Me First—Criticize Brothels, the Powerful and Wealthy, the Church, Denmark, the Czech Republic, etc."

The Sun: What constitutes womanizing? Does having sex with your wife every night after marriage count as womanizing?

Le Monde: "China's Zhang skillfully counters a barrage of questions from reporters."

Yomiuri Shimbun: "Never before has an Asian player so fiercely fought back against the global media in Europe."

United Daily News: "Zhang Kuang is not only good at scoring goals and womanizing, but his silver tongue is even more formidable."

……

In addition to the numerous media reports, there were also enthusiastic comments from netizens and even sarcastic remarks from the opposing coach.

On February 5th, at the pre-match press conference for Grenoble's match against Auxerre in the 23rd round of Ligue 2, Grenoble's head coach, Mohamed Bazdarevic, told reporters:

"Yes, we are the bottom team. Facing the strong Auxerre, we will try our best to defend, especially against their Chinese player Zhang."

These days, all the news is about him. He is indeed very powerful. He is good at scoring goals, good at playing with women, and good at trash-talking. Our players are all afraid of him.

However, we also have Asian players on our team. Our number 22, Daisuke Matsui, is a Japanese international. He told us not to be afraid of that Chinese player, because China has been their defeated opponent before. So, what will the outcome be? We'll wait and see.

When the reporter relayed Mohammed's words to Fernandez, Fernandez shrugged.

"As we all know, we're not a team that talks big; we only shut our opponents up with results. I don't know if China is a defeated opponent of Japan, but I believe Zhang from China will definitely show the Japanese national team players what an Asian cannon is in tomorrow's game."

When news of the clash between the two head coaches reached the internet, it caused a sensation on the Chinese and Japanese internet.
