Chapter 4 Historical Overlap

The white ghost flashed into the Belgian's penalty area, and the ball rolled lightly towards the goal. It passed the goalkeeper's fingertips and slowly...

Master Yang's thoughts instantly returned to that brightly lit night.

On May 21, 2008, the Russian capital Moscow, Luzhniki Stadium. The two sides against Manchester United and Newcastle United were Manchester United. Two Premier League teams competed for the final ownership of the European Champions League on this day.

Thousands of Chinese fans crossed the border and came to Moscow from various places in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and China. It seems that there have never been so many Chinese people on the Red Square since the Stalin era. They wore Newcastle jerseys, and some even wore Chinese team jerseys. There is no doubt that the Chinese support the Newcastle team because they have a Chinese coach.

In addition to the reasons for Chinese coaches, more European fans have seen the horror of Newcastle this season. Let’s see what kind of players they have. The bad boys led by Bowyer, including Patton, Alan Smith, Tevez, and technical players led by Montlivo, including Di Maria, Enzobiya, Duff, and a speed forward represented by Dong Fangzhuo and Martins. The tower represented by Dzeko and Carol.

Bloody! Delicate! Tough! Unrestrained! Pleasant style of playing makes English fans proud. Even their competitors, Arsenal's head coach Wenger, had to admit: "This team is different from the previous Arsenal, and its style of playing is more aggressive."

In addition to the occasional instability of such a team, perhaps in time, it can become a force that shocks Europe. However, at this time, Newcastle's internal state is a hopeless mentality.

Boss Ashley has been slow to renew his contract with Yang, who protects the player. The conflict between the two is irreconcilable, and even Hiller mediates from it to no avail. The players said that as long as the head coach leaves, they will choose to transfer in the summer. Even some club staff said that "the current boss is disgusting."

Now there is only the last game of the entire season left - the Champions League final. A best farewell gift.

In front of us is a better team, Manchester United, the Premier League champion in the 2007-08 season.

Van der Sar, Giggs, Scholes, Rooney, and Irving, Carrick, Ferdinand, and Evra who were in their prime.

Stability is exactly the advantage that this Manchester United has and that Newcastle does not have.

Among the luxurious private rooms in the stands, there were several unique Arabs. Some were wearing unique Arab white gowns and white cloth to wrap their heads, while others were wearing suits and tied dresses like modern business elites.

One of the fat men in traditional costumes looked at the competition in the stadium and asked in confusion: "Brother, have you already decided which club to buy?"

The middle-aged man in the suit pointed to the stadium: "The club has it, but the club I want to build is not like this. I want to make this club the number one in the world. Moreover, you are my spokesperson, you must have feelings for football, and you must make the English respect us. This is not something you can buy with pounds."

The fat man smiled and showed an understanding expression on his face: "I understand, what you said is my highest guidance. However, having feelings for something can easily affect rational judgment."

"The club is just a box, and I want to use it to hold the best coaches and players in the world. In Manchester, my club's name must be more prominent than the team in red."

Speaking of this, Manchester United scored a goal first on the court. Scholes made a cross, and Irving quickly inserted it from the far point and scored.

The fat man smiled and didn't say anything. This goal was tantamount to the boss's ambition just now, like a "slap in the face". For him, the football club is just a political signal, or a protective umbrella. The effect of money laundering is far greater than making money. Just watch it and have fun.

The middle-aged man in the suit pursed the thin upper and thick lips unique to the West Asians. He thought a little sourly: I'm afraid the best coach is among two teams. One Scottish old man and the other Chinese young man.

If anyone knows the two Arabs who are chatting, they will first be surprised at the wealth they have. The middle-aged man in the suit is called Sheikh Mansour, the chairman of the Abu Dhabi Consortium. The fat man in the robe is called Al Fahim, the CEO of the Abu Dhabi Consortium. One is the boss and the other is the person who executes the specific execution. Even if Al Fahim is just an executor, his financial resources are equal to that of Chelsea Abu, and the wealth Mansour has is unfathomable, because behind Mansour is the entire UAE country.

The club Mansour mentioned just now is the Blue Moon Manchester City team, who is also in Manchester. No one knows, when the Chelsea boss has tightened his wallet, what will the new Arabs bring to the Premier League?

Newcastle's starting strikers are Martins and Tevez. Newcastle, which are almost all ground transmission, no longer depends on the fulcrum of high centers. Just like Henry and Borgkamp before Arsenal, the Nigerians and Argentines are like two sharp blades wandering in dangerous areas, and they can always find the most dangerous place. All the midfielders have to do is pass the ball to their feet.

Of course, if necessary, Mr. Yang will put Carol and Dzeko, produced by youth training, on the court. Two tall players are rising under Mr. Yang. They are hailed as the "Newcastle Twin Towers" by the English media. They have exploded in full swing this season and have shown their age. Not only high-altitude bombing, but even "Yingzaji-like running position" can be shown in them. No wonder Dzeko always thanks Mr. Yang for his changes in his career after scoring. "He taught me how to play football with a new mind."

Just as the first half was about to end, Martins broke into the penalty area and tripped by Vidic, who was defending him, and the referee called a penalty kick.

Penalty!

"Bastard, FxxK, are your eyes blind?" This is the roar from Florida.

"He is diving, can't you tell me?" Ferdinand, as the captain, certainly had to stand up and support his teammates.

The referee's hand was unwaveringly pointing at the penalty point. This penalty would not change. Newcastle's player quickly picked up the ball and ran towards the penalty point.

A smile appeared on Mansour's face, which was interesting. Football matches should be so interesting. I heard that this Chinese is also a very interesting person. If he can win the Champions League, you might as well consider letting him be the head coach of Manchester City.

Newcastle's first penalty kicker was Tevez. It was a coincidence that the Argentinian came to Newcastle. Originally, Irving's departure made Yang think of Aguero who was so prosperous in Belgium, but Aguero's mind was not in the cold Britain. Aguero, who was full of desire for competition, planned to transfer to the warm Spain because his opponent Higuain was there.

At this time, it was a compensation for the release of Irving. Sir Freud revealed a piece of news to Mr. Yang. Tevez of West Ham was preparing for a transfer, and now it was an opportunity to take action.

For 15 million pounds, Tevez and Mascherano bought it in packages and paid another pounds in two years. Even Ferguson did not expect that the two Argentines would integrate into the team very quickly, and Tevez scored a goal in his second start. Whether it was with Martins, Dong Fangzhuo, Dzeko, Carol, Tevez could have a good chemical reaction.

Before a two-team match, Sir Freud even said to Mr. Yang with some regrets: "I should really fucking Irving should be for you Teves." But this is just a saying. Irving's value is not only on the stadium, he is already part of the entire Manchester United brand.

The Argentine's hot temper later caused him trouble. One day after Christmas, Tevez hit the buttocks of Chairman Ashley's car - the collision was obviously intentional. The Argentine did not stop the car after the crash, but chose to go away. Ashley, who was rolling and crawling out of the car, was furious when he saw the sports car taillights that disappeared from afar, demanded Tevez apologize and ordered Mr. Yang to punish Tevez.

"Carlos, why did you hit the Chairman's car?" Mr. Yang asked Tevez privately.

"There is no reason. It's just that he is unhappy." Tevez was disdainful to explain why to Master Yang.

"Will you apologize to him?"

"Impossible! You will do whatever he wants!" The scar on Tevez's face jumped.

Mr. Yang smiled and shook his head: "Carlos, you were wrong. I am the head coach, I have to protect you." Mr. Yang never mentioned this again, but chose to stand on the side of the players. Newcastle fans could only see a furious chairman in the media, a forward who scored goals, and a head coach who was calm and composed. The team was moving forward in this delicate balance.

Teves stepped on the grass on the court and glanced at the left and right goal posts. The ball was kicked in and it was a draw, and both sides stood on the same starting line again.

Teves runs up, swings his legs, pauses, and turns his ankle.

Van der Sar judged the wrong direction...

The ball hit the post and popped out of the field.

I don't even have a chance to shoot one more shot.

Lei Dong clenched his fists and roared at the sky.

Teves clenched his fists and roared at the sky.

The figures of the two overlapped.
