Chapter 415 The Big Brother Behind Everton
On August 8th, in the fourth round of the Premier League, Everton drew 25-0 with Blackburn at home, and Tang Zhenglong also stopped scoring consecutive goals.

After the game, Moyes expressed his satisfaction with the game.

"We are not Manchester United, our goal is not to win the championship, I am very satisfied with the current results."

The reporters snickered a little.

4 matches, 3 wins and 1 tie, accumulating 10 points, such a result is too late to laugh, Moyes is starting to play X.

On September 9st, Everton defeated Bolton 1-2 in an away game and resumed their winning streak.

5 points in 13 rounds, the same points as Liverpool, temporarily ranked second because of the disadvantage of goal difference, but such a result can make Everton fans happy.

In the next round, the team will face Manchester United led by Ferguson, and the fans expect the team to beat Manchester United.

*****
Bill Kenwright.

A theater producer and former actor, he is a diehard Everton fan who bought a 1999/2000 stake in Everton for £2 million in 3.

Now he is no longer the largest shareholder, but he is still the real decision maker of Everton.

He is used to coming to the administration building early in the morning, looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, he can see the players training.

As a loyal fan of Goodison Park, he bought Everton shares more out of love, just like Berlusconi invested in AC Milan.

Not just investing, but participating, it's playing Football Manager for real money.

Bill Kenwright was a punctual man, he had an appointment, looked at his watch, Moyes should be arriving soon.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

"Yes."

Bill Kenwright emailed Moyes yesterday about meeting him today.

"Coffee or tea?"

"black tea."

Bill Kenwright poured Moyes a cup of tea and they sat down.

"David, the team's performance is very good, it was named the best team in the Premier League in August."

Moyes smiled brightly, "Thank you boss."

But Moyes also knew that the boss would definitely not be able to call him over for this in person.

"Boss, what's the matter, you can just say it."

Bill Kenwright rubbed his hands.

"I called you here to talk to you about Tang Zhenglong."

"Tang Zhenglong? What happened to him?"

"Do you think we have the possibility to sign Tang Zhenglong?"

Moyes' heart skipped a beat.

"This... I'm afraid it's impossible."

"I heard that Tang Zhenglong and Chelsea's liquidated damages are 6000 million pounds, which is a huge amount of money, but I think we can find a bank to borrow this money. Tang Zhenglong is definitely worth investing in."

Moyes was dumbfounded, he didn't expect the boss to move this idea.

You must know that Zidane transferred to Real Madrid for 7500 million euros a few years ago. I thought Tang Zhenglong's liquidated damages were already astronomical.

"Number one, it's really a huge sum of money."

"Secondly, I think Chelsea are the club with the least money."

Bill Kenwright laughed, "It has nothing to do with Chelsea. What I offered was liquidated damages. Just deal with Tang Zhenglong. Do you think he will refuse the annual salary of 1000 million pounds?"

Moyes was even more shocked.

The team is not a one-person thing, which seriously undermines the team's salary balance.

"It would seriously disrupt the salary balance of the team."

Bill Kenwright said with a smile: "Look at how many goals Tang Zhenglong scored alone, I think this is appropriate."

Bill Kenwright is a businessman. He sees problems in terms of money. Players are the same as commodities, and the price is clearly marked, and it all depends on the value.

And Moyes can't do this. As a head coach, he has feelings for the players.

"Love a soldier like a son" is not empty talk. It is said that football is a war in peacetime, and the head coach of the team is the marshal.

"Boss, the league has just started, even if you have any plans, please keep it secret, especially for Tang Zhenglong, I'm afraid it will affect his state."

Bill Kenwright laughed, "Of course I know that."

"I just hope you brainwash Tang Zhenglong more and tell him that Everton is the team that really suits him."

"Brainwashing?"

Moyes almost died of sweat.

Bill Kenwright patted Moyes on the shoulder, "Go to work, David."

*****
Ferguson has had a bit of a bad season.

前5轮，红魔2胜2平1负，仅仅积8分。

Among them, they drew with Portsmouth and Reading, and were defeated by Manchester City.

Ranked 8th in the league, Ferguson's heart is bleeding. After the players who shaped the Red Devils in the last century slowly retired, now Ferguson needs to rebuild a Premier League giant.

In fact, judging from the lineup, Frings has already built a good team, and the rest is to run in and grow.

Although Rooney was injured, the offensive power of Ronaldo, Saha, and Tevez is beyond doubt.

The midfield is controlled by veteran players like Scholes and Giggs. Ferguson is very relieved. The defense is Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Sylvester and Van der Sar.

These people also reassure Ferguson enough.

What the old man is looking forward to is a big victory, which can sweep away the previous haze and let Manchester United regain the feeling of winning.

When they came to Liverpool, the reporters began to pester Ferguson. The hair dryer was not in vain, and Ferguson also opened his mouth wide.

And there are very few people in the Premier League who dare to provoke Ferguson.

"My lord, there is a saying called the Everton whirlwind, have you heard of it?"

"No, I only care about opponents like Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Everton? We don't compete for the UEFA Cup qualification."

"..."

Don't be so worried.

Ferguson kicked Everton out of big4 with this sentence. Although the truth is true, it is a bit heartbreaking from Everton's perspective.

"I think it's normal to perform better in the first few rounds. For example, Newcastle did it before, and of course they didn't win the championship in the end."

"The league is a marathon, not a sprint."

"My lord, what do you think of Tang Zhenglong? He scored 7 goals in [-] games."

Ferguson smiled: "I still think of Newcastle. Shearer used to be very good at scoring goals, but... it seems that they can't shake the status of Manchester United."

"My lord, if you have a chance to buy Tang Zhenglong, how much are you willing to pay?"

"How much did you pay for Chelsea?"

"1800."

"Well, I'll offer 900."

puff!
With Tang Zhenglong's current performance, you only pay 900 million yuan?Everyone is sure that Ferguson is making a fuss.

"My lord, you are joking."

"Of course not. In my opinion, 900 million is still a loss. I don't like players who don't participate in tactics. Have you ever seen any of my players not obey orders?"

"Kean?"

"David?"

"Who dares not to listen to my tactics."

"So Tang Zhenglong is at Manchester United, he is useless at all, why should I pay 900 million pounds for him?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard it. They knew that Ferguson was lying, but why did it sound so reasonable?
