Chapter 82 Moyes and the Champions League final

After spending a week, based on his past and present memories, Duncan drew up a list of the players he needed and boarded a plane to Athens, Greece.

There, the final game of the season - the Champions League final - will be played at the Olympic Stadium in Athens.The two sides in the final are exactly the same as in 2005, AC Milan and Liverpool.

On the flight, Duncan ran into an acquaintance.

"Who do you think will win?"

"Liverpool, after all, they have the psychological advantage of two years ago, and AC Milan is too old." Moyes thought for a while, pinching his chin.

"You won't accept benefits from Benitez, will you?" Duncan said.

"No, I'm not an economic company, why does he give me benefits?" Moyes looked serious.

"Okay, then I'll bet on AC Milan." Duncan nodded: "But such a dry bet on the team doesn't have a lottery. How about we make a lottery?"

"What lottery? I have no money." Moyes cried poorly.

"Don't want your money! Let's do this! If I lose, I'll mortgage Cordella and Harman to you; if you lose, you can choose Arteta and Lescott to me, how about that?" ?” Duncan had a harmless smile on his face.

"Why don't you die..." Moyes rolled his eyes wildly.

Swapping players must be nonsense.In the end, the two agreed that the loser would be responsible for the other party's air ticket and hotel room to Venezuela.

Why Venezuela?

Because this summer, the Copa America will be held in Venezuela.As the head coach and scout, Venezuela is the next stop for Moyes and Duncan.

"If I have a player I like, don't grab it with me!" Moyes said sourly after learning that his letter had entered Manchester City.He has no doubt that once he shows his love for a player, Duncan will grab it without hesitation.

"I'm just rich, you bite me!" Duncan laughed wildly.

Just as Duncan remembered, this much-anticipated Champions League final was regarded by AC Milan as a battle of revenge.Before the game started, AC Milan showed the slogan of revenge.As the background wall of the shocking reversal two years ago, AC Milan wanted to give Liverpool a taste of being a background wall.

Before the game started, some Liverpool fans entered the stadium with fake tickets, causing a riot.Fortunately, Duncan knew this scene a long time ago through the memory of his previous life, and pulled Moyes into the field two hours in advance.

"Hey, anyway, you are also a head coach! How do you buy a ticket and also buy an ordinary stand?" Duncan knocked on Moyes' ticket, puzzled.

"Ordinary tickets are cheap!" Moyes plausibly said.

"Everton gave you a few bucks a week, and you can't even afford a box ticket? You're so good at it!" Duncan hated iron and steel: "No, you come to my Greater Manchester City, and I will give you a ticket." You pay double wages."

"That's great!" Moyes smiled: "I work in Manchester City, can I work as a part-time head coach at Everton?"

"roll……"

In the end, Duncan dragged Moyes, who was shabby, into the box.

He suddenly understood that Everton had been making small fuss all these years, not only because the club had little financial resources, but also because they had a stingy head coach.

This Champions League final was exactly the same as Duncan remembered. With Inzaghi's two ghostly goals, AC Milan defeated Liverpool 2:1 and avenged their revenge two years ago.

But whether this champion has healed the wounds of the Milanese is another matter.

In the post-match press conference, Benitez expressed great dissatisfaction with the team's offensive players.He said that this summer will definitely transform the team's offensive players.

AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed his gratitude to the players, and once again pointed out that Kaka is not for sale. Real Madrid's attempt to buy Kaka will never come true...

The Champions League final came to an end, and there was a lot of chicken feathers.Duncan and Moyes spent a few days in Athens before boarding a flight to Venezuela.

"Actually, I have something to do at home. Otherwise, I would not go to Venezuela." Before boarding the plane, Moyes said.

Thinking of having to bear the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the two of them, Moyes felt ashamed.If you dare, you might as well sell Arteta.

But Duncan saw through Moyes' lies and insisted on dragging Moyes not to let him go.The two chatted like this and boarded a plane to Venezuela.

In Venezuela, there is still a week before the opening of the Copa America.This week, you can naturally play with ease.

Moyes persuaded Duncan, who wanted to explore the Mayan pyramids, and the two went to Margaret Island, a famous tourist destination near the capital of Venezuela, to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the Caribbean coast.

The island has a strange custom of sunbathing naked.How could it not be a pleasure to chew betel lang and look at beautiful women in swimsuits under the beautiful sunlight?
Of course, compared with the expensive Mayan pyramids, Sunshine Beach is obviously free of money, and you can sleep as long as you want...

Since it is a beach famous for sunbathing naked, Duncan naturally couldn't let go of this opportunity to "feast his eyes".It is said that there is a celestial island on the coast of France, and the residents on the island are all naked, but Duncan believes that this sunny coast is also not too much.

"Hey, Steben, look over there..." Moyes suddenly patted Duncan and pointed to the distance.

"What?" Duncan was upset when he was interrupted to look at the beautiful woman.

"That man over there..." Moyes pointed to a man lying on a beach chair.

"You are also interested in men? I can't see that you still have this hobby!" Duncan looked at Moyes with admiration.

"That man... looks like Ljungberg..."

"Which Ljungberg?"

"Frederick Ljungberg, the Arsenal one..."

A dusty memory flooded Duncan's mind like a flood.

In 1996, Arsenal recruited Wenger from the remote island country as the team's head coach.Wenger then bought French players such as Pettit, Vieira, Henry, Pires, etc., creating Arsenal's French gang.In addition to the French gang, Wenger chose the Swede Ljungberg as the team's right midfielder.

Next, under the leadership of Arsene Wenger, Arsenal moved forward one year at a time with their heads held high.During the heyday of Ferguson's Red Empire, Wenger's Arsenal was the only team that could rival Manchester United.

In the 03-04 season, Arsenal reached its peak. They were unbeaten in 49 consecutive games, breaking the 115-year record of the Premier League.

In that undefeated Arsenal, there are many players that people talk about: the great Henry, the core Vieira, the technical Pires, the elegant Bergkamp, ​​the amazing Cesc Fabregas...

If these people are red flowers, then Ljungberg is an out-and-out big green leaf.

Looking back at the undefeated Arsenal, what people remember about Ljungberg is just that Ljungberg who galloped all over the field and actively struggled to score. By the side of the stars, Ljungberg was willing to be that big green leaf.But he never loses the chain. When he needs to appear, he will always appear in the right position in time.Ljungberg and Pires are Arsenal's famous magic wings in the Premier League.

But what Duncan thought of was another thing. In the summer of 2007, Ljungberg had already passed his 30th birthday.

At the age of 30, it means that a player has accumulated enough experience; at the age of 30, it means that a player has begun to decline; at the age of 30, Wenger will treat the old players with the "one signing per year".

It's realistic and cruel.

Although there has not been any news of Ljungberg's move recently, and Ljungberg has expressed his loyalty to the club that he is willing to renew, but Duncan knows that when Henry went to the Nou Camp this summer to seek the European Champions League, he did not get it. Ljungberg, who has any response from the club, can only leave the team he has struggled for for nine years and join West Ham...

Now that I'm leaving, why can't I come to Manchester City?
