Match point

Chapter 1401 Draw the line
"...I love the fans."

Gao Wen, with a smile on his face, kept a curved face, made a love gesture to the front, and then continued to maintain his posture without saying anything.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

reporter:? ? ?That's it?
What kind of stupid answer is this?The reporters were still waiting for Gao Wen's follow-up, but it turned out to be just a short sentence. Is this really good?

But obviously, Gao Wen did it on purpose, intentionally made his smile stiffen slightly, and the atmosphere gradually became awkward, but the sparks of daggers and swords dissipated quietly without knowing it, and a sense of absurdity emerged spontaneously, so that the reporters on the scene were a little confused, and at the same time Still a little irritated, what next?
Seeing that the air in the press conference hall was about to freeze, some reporters raised their hands to continue asking questions, assuming that they would not give up until their goals were achieved.

Then, Gao Wen continued to speak, seized the timing accurately, used the interrupt skill, and regained the initiative in the palm of his hand.

"Believe me, I mean it. I really, really like fans. I have always believed that spectators are an integral part of competitive sports. Any sport needs players and spectators. A game without spectators , sports without fans would be eclipsed."

"From football to basketball to rugby to tennis, every great sport has a great audience."

"So, I am willing to share time and interact with fans, not only on the court, but also off the court. Those moments are precious."

It's not a compliment, it's not a compliment, it's all from the bottom of my heart.

"but."

"I think the focus of our discussions got off track and the whole thing wasn't about the fans or about the players, it was about the line."

"Just as the game needs rules and regulations, the field also needs boundaries to define and ensure the progress of the game."

"The arena is the arena. Some order needs to be maintained, some rules need to be adhered to, and some boundaries need to be clarified. It's that simple."

"Abiding by these boundaries is to ensure the smooth progress of the game, to maintain the order of the field, and to maintain the safety of everyone - the safety of the players, the safety of the referee and the linesman, and the safety of the spectators themselves. Boundaries make sense."

"So, am I willing to sign autographs and take pictures with fans?"

"Of course! No problem! In fact, this is my honor, even if I lose the game, there is no problem. I believe this is my luck."

"But definitely not on the field, we need to respect those boundaries."

"And I believe that it is the responsibility of the tournament organizing committee to maintain those boundaries."

"It's true, it's not the end of the world, it's just a kid, God, he's just a kid! But the whole thing, in my opinion, was never about the fans or about the players, it was about how the organizing committee maintained Order and rules, how to stick to boundaries."

"This is my first time at Roland Garros. I like it here, not only because I am in the quarter-finals, but also because the audience is very gentle today."

"Here, I leave good memories, but I think that I am not important, at least not that important, because the glory and reputation of Roland-Garros are not written by me and maintained by me. It is the tournament organizing committee that should be concerned about the security gap."

Eloquent, clear, well-founded, and more importantly, sarcasm and cynicism, at the same time, a firm stand, neither humble nor overbearing.

It's amazing--

For a long time, people have known that Gao Wenying has a unique charm in dealing with the media.

But before, people always regarded Gao Wen as a "child", not only his age, but also his resume and status, and never asked about those serious topics; Opinions, voice out as opinion leaders.

The result far exceeded expectations!
The reporters expected that Gao Wen would stand on Federer's side and protect the interests of the players; but they did not expect Gao Wen to be so straightforward and bold, presenting the facts and reasoning, but he did not save face for Isein at all, and made the match The sophistry of the director was refuted to the point of embarrassment.

Great, really great——

How could they have forgotten that this rising star in front of him used to be a top student in the journalism department, and he heard that his academic performance was very good.

The eyes of the audience were sparsely focused on Gao Wen.

Gao Wen, never evading, never flickering, greeted all the scrutiny generously, and expressed with a firm attitude that he was willing to be responsible for his own words and his own views, even if it was the head-on and tough competition director Yi Thenn, he was not wavering or timid.

In the press conference hall, there was a very, very short period of blankness. The media on the scene seemed to see a calm and majestic leadership in Gao Wen, exuding from the inside out. No wonder Gao Wen was in the NCAA and later in the Davis Cup. Always able to bring the team together.

Shocked and sighed, the reporters became excited one by one:

Gao Wen's positive response should be able to ignite heated discussions, and Isaac may have to face the siege and interception again, and there are hot spots and gimmicks.

But what is amazing is that the reporters felt that the whole incident was mediocre, and there was nothing to make a fuss about. Gao Wen's point of view couldn't be more clear and correct; moreover, the reporters should be more interested in Gao Wen. It seems that the professional tennis circle It should be even more lively in the future.

Satisfied reporters, after all, did not continue to toss, and asked a few polite questions symbolically, and the press conference was declared over.

later?

The matter detonated again, and it became more and more violent.

Gao Wen's remarks became material again, appearing in other press conferences in the form of reporters asking questions and quoting, asking other players for their opinions.

Both Nadal and Murray agreed and affirmed Gawain's point of view in different ways; Djokovic thoughtfully eased Isein's attack, although he also agreed with Gawain's point of view, he still defended Isein A few words, trying to ease the atmosphere and avoid things from becoming more intense.

Not only the giants, other players have also been asked about relevant opinions, and even players who have been out have also expressed their opinions on social networks.

Later, Isein finally accepted an interview again to clarify his remarks. He believed that his words had been misunderstood. He did not mean to avoid the question, and repeatedly stated that he would reorganize the security work to ensure the smooth holding of the subsequent French Open. Put an end to the event.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Isein's attitude is a little perfunctory, because his simple and rude way of handling has once again sparked controversy——

After banning the boy fan from Roland Garros, he fired the security team for Federer's match.

One can tell at a glance that Isein just pulled a group of scapegoats to take the blame, fired those security staff to quell the controversy, but did not reflect on the reform, and probably sent a signal, "Okay, okay, I admit I was wrong , you can shut up, and forget about it.”

So, is it really over?
