Chapter 195 Before the Game
Sitting in the spacious office, Duncan looked at a photo hanging on the wall in front of him.
This is a photo taken by reporters on the day of the championship.In the picture, Shevchenko held up the championship trophy high, and other players cheered and jumped around him, jumping and shouting.
The golden confetti falling all over the sky cast a layer of divine light on this photo.
Not to mention the green lawn and the blue ocean-like stands in the background.
The combination of gold, blue, and green is so beautiful!
Duncan thought it was very good after seeing it, so he ordered the staff to enlarge the picture, frame it and hang it in his office.
Below the photo, there is a line of small words: 2007-2008 Premier League champions - Manchester City, Manchester City!
It feels so good to be a champion!
The last round of the Premier League started uniformly, so after this round, the final Premier League standings will also come out.
Manchester City topped the list with 89 points, No.2 Manchester United with 80 points, and No.3 Chelsea with 78 points.
As for No.4...
There is no doubt, 76 points, Arsenal!
And Benitez's Liverpool ranks fifth, and next season can only compete in the UEFA Cup with Martin O'Neill's Aston Villa and Moyes' Everton.
Of course, what is even more interesting is that the top three in the Premier League have all entered the European finals:
Manchester City take on Zenit St Petersburg at the City Stadium in the UEFA Cup.
In the Champions League, Chelsea and Manchester United have turned the Champions League final into a Premier League civil war.
In any case, the Premier League has established itself as the world's number one league.
Next, everyone's attention has turned to the upcoming UEFA Cup final on May 5.
This is the first time in the history of the city stadium that it has welcomed such a major game, and it still has its own home team participating.
In order to show the importance attached to the game, the Russian Super League risked the dissatisfaction of other teams and specially adjusted the schedule, giving Zenit two weeks to recuperate. In the 11 rounds of the Russian Super League, they have only played 5 games so far.
This is definitely a real son!
Russians speaking English with a strong Slavic accent began to appear on the streets of Manchester.
Bars in the early morning and streets at midnight have become the places where many fights and fights occur most often.
Hotels, hotels, and homestays in Manchester, large and small, were all taken up by the influx of fans.
The gates of the training bases of Manchester City and Manchester United, which are adjacent to each other, gather many fans, media and the like.
The atmosphere of the final is already at an all-time high!
Before the game, Advocaat was interviewed by reporters, and he was full of self-confidence inside and outside the words.
"When we came to Manchester, we naturally pursued the championship! And we have the confidence and strength to win the championship! I admit that Manchester City is very strong. They are stronger than us! But this is not an excuse for us to lose! Along the way in the UEFA Cup, many strong players The team lost at our feet, and Manchester City will be next!"
"Of course, I know that Manchester City is very rich!" Advocaat spread his hands innocently: "They think money can buy many things, even championships! Ridiculous! Too ridiculous! We need to let the rich Manchester City understand, Champions cannot be bought with money! Didn’t the team we built with local players also reach the UEFA Cup final!”
Seeing the news in the newspaper, Duncan smiled coldly.
"Mr. Advocate hates spending money to buy people? This is the funniest joke I have ever seen!" In the newspaper, Duncan hit back: "In our home stadium, Zenit's arrogance shows their inner paleness They were scared, so they came to bluff! If you want to spend money to buy someone, who paid the record transfer fee in the history of the club, 2000 million euros to buy Tymoshchuk?"
Duncan's words made Edvocaat speechless.Edvocaat originally wanted to use Manchester City's crazy spending money to buy people as a point of attack and push him to the opposite of public opinion.
But Duncan's debunking left Edvocaat speechless.
The final result is the real chapter on the court!
……
On the day of the game, the surrounding area of the Manchester City Stadium was packed, and there were fans wearing the jerseys of the two teams to watch the game.
Now Duncan, walking to work has become a luxury. Although the distance from where he lives to the training ground is very short, there are more and more fans. They politely ask him for a photo, and have other plans to insert a business card. Or simply stop him halfway.
Even one day, a strong drunken man stopped Duncan from borrowing £[-] from him.
So then Duncan took the special car sent by the club.
When he arrived at the door, Duncan found a group of people forming a circle. When he entered the door, Duncan found that the person surrounded in the center was actually David Silva.
"Hey, David!" Duncan yelled at Silva, rolling down the window, "Get in the car!"
Silva, who was surrounded in the center, looked a little helpless.Hearing Duncan's voice, Silva ran over as if he was being pardoned, opened the door and got into the car.
At this time, his explosive power and agility are clearly revealed.
The crowd behind couldn't keep him at all.
After getting into the car, Silva was a little scared, neither in Valencia nor in Manchester City, he has never experienced such a situation.Occasionally, fans gather at the gate of the club to ask for autographs, but it's not as crazy as today!
Silva looked back with lingering fear!
Is this the final effect?
"It's so hot!" Duncan looked at the reporters outside, then turned his head and smiled at Silva, "It's the European Cup that's why it's so hot."
"Really? It's scary! I was at the door just now, and I was almost surrounded and couldn't get in."
"Buy a car, David, you will be a well-known player in the future!" Duncan said, knowing that Silva always walks to work.
"Wait until I go to get the English driver's license in the summer." Silva thought for a moment and smiled.
In this sentence, Silva bit heavily on the words "summer" and "England".
"Then I'll tell the staff to reserve a parking space for you." Duncan also smiled meaningfully when he heard this.
At the end of the season, news about Real Madrid and Barcelona buying Silva was rampant.The strong appeal of these two teams, it is difficult for any player to refuse.And in the Barcelona team, isn't there Silva's good friend, Villa?
Although he didn't play many games, Villa was recognized by Barcelona.His factor is also the factor that Silva may leave.
However, Silva's statement gave Duncan a reassurance, which at least shows that he will continue to play in Manchester City next season.
With the strong capital injection from the Middle East next season, Duncan believes that Silva will stay in the city stadium for a long time.
Judging from Silva's attitude towards Valencia, it can be seen that he is a very humane player.
"I heard... Valencia was relegated?" Duncan asked suddenly.
"Yes, that damn team owner ruined Valencia." Silva nodded sadly.
"He will always come back, after all, the team still has foundation." Duncan comforted.
Silva nodded.
He was suddenly a little moved. Duncan paid attention to Wan Luncia because of his existence!
Silva suddenly had a feeling of wanting to play football for the boss.
When we arrived at the training base, the team's bus had already stopped there.
The game is at [-]:[-] p.m., because it is the home game, so everyone gathers at the training base in the morning and takes the bus to the booked hotel.After lunch in the hotel, the team will have a collective lunch break before heading to the city stadium for the game.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the team got on the bus collectively, and when they set off from the hotel, they went to the city stadium.
What was supposed to be more than half an hour's drive turned out to be an hour today.
Along the way, there were singing and dancing Manchester City fans everywhere, and of course there were some veterans from Russia who came from afar.They were either wearing Zenit jerseys or Russian national team jerseys, and they were marching towards the city stadium one by one.
