Chapter 83 America's Cup

Ljungberg has been very annoying recently. Although he expressed his loyalty to the team at the end of the season, he has not received any response from the club.

This year, he didn't play much.On the one hand, it was due to inexplicable injuries, and on the other hand, it was the high positions of newcomers such as Hleb and Eboue, which squeezed Ljungberg's playing time.

Even so, Ljungberg's statement "As long as he stays, it is acceptable to be a substitute" did not receive the slightest response.

Maybe it's time to find a new club.

West Ham may be good, the club is in London and there is no need to move.The owner of West Ham has money and is willing to spend money. As long as there is a head coach of sufficient level, he may be able to play in the UEFA Cup or something...

Lying on his back on the beach chair, Ljungberg thought wildly until a voice called him up.

"What a coincidence, you're here, Freddie~!" The voice was a young man, but Ljungberg immediately recognized the middle-aged white-haired man standing behind the young man. That was the coach of Everton. Moyes; and then, Ljungberg remembered that the young man in front of him should be Duncan, the head coach of Manchester City.

This head coach is a recent star figure in the Premier League, frequently appearing in major online and print media.He led the team with a record of 12 victories in 12 games, which made him unparalleled for a while.

Among the 12 wins in 12 games, there is a game against Arsenal.In that game, Manchester City beat Arsenal 3:2, Ljungberg watched 90 minutes from the bench.

But what makes Ljungberg strange is how Moyes, the Everton coach, got mixed up with Duncan, the Manchester City coach.

Do these two people have anything to do with each other?

Maybe it's just a vacation, just a chance encounter.Ljungberg guessed.

Compared with Duncan, he and Moyes are a little more familiar, but the two of them are friendly, the kind who nod and say hello when they meet.

The three met here by chance, but there was nothing to talk about.The arrival of Duncan and Moyes seems to be just that acquaintances met and came to talk.

After a few words, the three separated.But Duncan fell behind and gave Ljungberg a business card, and said, "If you can't get along at Arsenal, you can come to Manchester City. What West Ham can give, Manchester City can also give."

Seeing Duncan's leaving figure, Ljungberg's expression narrowed.Now that the league has just ended, Arsenal have not publicly said that they want to sell him.Ljungberg just had a slight idea of ​​"if the contract cannot be renewed", and he didn't even tell his agent.

How did Duncan know that he had the idea of ​​leaving, and that he was going to West Ham?
Ljungberg couldn't help but recall that recently Duncan got a new nickname called "Wizard".

"Did he see it from the crystal ball?" Ljungberg smiled and threw this ridiculous idea out of his mind.He looked at the business card, thought about it, and threw it into his bag.

Let's talk about everything after the holidays are over.

----------------

After a tanning lap on Margaret Island, the America's Cup is finally overdue.

Duncan and Moyes boarded a plane to San Cristobal, where Venezuela and Bolivia will play the opener.

However, compared with the World Cup and the European Cup, the Copa America is still quite tasteless.The reputation of the players is poor, and the reputation of the cup is far less famous than the Copa Libertadores.As the number one strong team in the tournament, players such as Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and Kaka in the Brazilian team did not even sign up for this Copa America.The main players from Mexico and the United States are still participating in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. In order to avoid the fatigue of continuous combat, it is likely to make large-scale adjustments to the lineup for the America’s Cup. Among them, the US team only selected nine main players to participate in the America’s Cup.

Even so, the "Brazil Second Team" who came to Venezuela is still the number one favorite to win the tournament.

Of course, it is tasteless for the giants, but for some small countries, it is an opportunity to sell their players to the world.No matter how tasteless the America's Cup is, it is also an intercontinental competition.Whether there are any competitions such as the Olympics or the World Cup this summer, the Copa America is the biggest stage.This only intercontinental stage is sure to attract attention from all over the world.Perhaps a highlight performance in a certain game can win the favor of a European giant for a player, and embark on the road to stardom...

This is exactly the case. For European teams, South American players are synonymous with low prices, superb skills, and sharp dribbling.

In addition to Duncan and Moyes, other European clubs also sent their scouts to scout the Copa America.

South American players have always been synonymous with "high quality and low price, exquisite technology".They are often talented and talented, and as long as they are polished a little, they are a piece of jade in the rough.

Who can guarantee that they will not find the next Ronaldinho from these players?
A total of 12 teams participated in this America's Cup, divided into three groups, the top two in each group and the two No.3 with the best results qualify to form the knockout quarterfinals.

The top two favorites, Brazil and Argentina, advanced without any suspense, while Brazil's Robinho ranked first in the scorer list with 4 goals in three games.

Of course, Robinho did not lead alone. In the Mexican team that entered the knockout round, a young player named Castillo also led with 4 goals in three games.

In the Ecuador team, Suazo, who fell behind twice and equalized the score for the team, is also eye-catching; the host Venezuela can make a historic entry into the knockout round, and the home team's forward rookie Maldonado has contributed a lot...

Compared with the bland game, the players are obviously more eye-catching.

Compared with the eye-catching forward Castillo, Moyes is very fond of Mexico's left forward Guardado. This player has extremely fast speed on the wing, excellent physical flexibility, and extremely high football IQ. Very much to Moyes' taste.

But after inquiring about Guardado's worth of more than 600 million euros, Moyes kept his mouth shut.Compared with the strikers who urgently need to be supplemented, Everton can't afford so much money to buy wingers.

At this time, Moyes couldn't help looking at Duncan on the side. Although he hadn't announced it yet, Moyes vaguely knew that the owner of Manchester City had given Duncan a large sum of money.Guardado and Duncan definitely don't like it. A few days ago, Moyes heard Duncan ask about Robben's offer...

In the end, after 20 days of competition, Brazil defeated Uruguay, Argentina defeated Mexico, and the South American duo met in the final.

This final is a duel between Argentina with Riquelme and Veron as the core, and Brazil's second team led by Robinho.

Although Riquelme delivered a perfect answer with 5 goals and 5 assists in six games, in the final, Brazil's three midfielder tactics killed the lonely dancer's path.

3: 0!

In the end, with the goals of Baptista, Alves and Ayala's own goal, the Brazilian team defeated the old rival Argentina 3:0 in the final and was crowned the champion.

After the chicken ribs, the chicken feathers ended.

With 6 goals in 6 games, Robinho unsurprisingly became the top scorer and most valuable player of this Copa America; Castillo, who played in the Greek League, soared 200 times, and initially joined the team with 6 euros. He, at the end of the Copa America, is worth more than 1200 million pounds...

In the final selection of the best team of the game, Brazil and Argentina each accounted for five players, and the only player from other countries was Castillo.

The America's Cup came to an end, and with a notebook full, Duncan got on the flight back to England.Moyes started his vacation trip, while Duncan will go back to implement the long-planned "transfer war".

After a month, the Football Association's approval for the transfer of the team has reached the final stage...
