Chapter 34 Reconciliation(1/2)
After the game, the head coach of Everton's youth team stood up and walked to the home team's coaching bench.
"Congratulations, this is a wonderful game." He said some diplomatic words in a perfunctory manner, and hurried to the court. Those young players who had lost so aggrievedly obviously needed his enlightenment.
When he left, he made way for the middle-aged man behind him. At this time, he had taken off his peaked cap, revealing short golden hair and a bitter face that looked slightly older.
If Levi were here, he would definitely recognize him as Everton's first-team coach - David Moyes!
He led Everton into the upper echelons of the Premier League and won two Premier League Coach of the Year awards in ten years. However, he encountered the "genius" Moyes who failed after taking over from Sir Alex Ferguson as Manchester United coach!
Also, who can give orders to the Everton youth team coach and make Rooney, who is already a member of the first team, obedient? Who else could he be?
Eddie Gray was still standing there and did not move. Logically speaking, the status of the head coach of the first team is higher than that of the head coach of the youth team. If it were anyone else, he would have taken the initiative to step forward.
p>
But Eddie is different. Whether it is his experience as a player or his qualifications in his coaching career, he is far better than Moyes in front of him. You must know that he was not only the main left winger of Leeds United in its most glorious era, but also as early as 1982.
He had already served as the head coach of the Leeds United first team at that time.
As for Moyes, he was unknown as a player and his coaching career has just started. If Everton hadn't suddenly emerged this season and miraculously reached the top four in the first half of the season, I'm afraid Eddie Gray wouldn't even know this guy.
.
However, the reason why Eddie didn't move was not because of these reasons. He didn't care about seniority either. However, as far as this game was concerned, he was the winner.
In his opinion, how can a winner take the initiative to welcome a loser?
Moyes smiled bitterly. He has encountered this kind of scene many times. After all, this is his first year in the Premier League. Those old British coaches who value tradition and qualifications do not want to see him, but he sees it.
Much more.
So he didn't care and took the initiative to come to Eddie.
"Mr. Gray, I have to say that the boys from Leeds United performed very well."
"Thank you, you are not bad either." Eddie's voice was rare and gentle, which was his reserve as a winner.
"That No. 66..."
"Sorry, I have no intention of selling players." Before Moyes could finish speaking, Eddie Gray rejected him without hesitation.
This very rude interruption made Moyes a little unhappy, and he responded in a subtle way: "As far as I know, Leeds United's current financial situation is not very good."
"Really? Well, let's see, it's not impossible to get Lee," Eddie said with a smile, "If Rooney can be exchanged."
Eddie Gray's words are really too bullying. Who is Rooney? A super genius who emerged at the age of 16 and a member of the England national team. His worth is at least 20 million in the transfer market, and Lee
As for Wei, this is just the first game of his youth team. The two of them are completely different.
Hearing these words, even with Moyes's self-restraint, he couldn't help but feel angry.
"Humph, Leeds United is not the Leeds United it was two years ago. I don't think Mr. Ridsdale will refuse a generous offer."
"As long as I am still in Sopuak, I have the final say on the transfer of youth team players!" Eddie Gray replied rudely, "Now, I need to be with my players."
p>
After saying that, he walked into the players' corridor without looking back, leaving Moyes alone in a daze, with his sad and bitter face getting darker.
Well, as expected, the winner's reserve is only temporary. As long as someone touches his reverse scales, Eddie will still be the cannon that explodes at the first touch.

In the stands, Fraser and Andy were very excited.
This is not because of this victory. After all, for two well-informed senior fans, a youth team victory is really insignificant.
But for Andy, he seemed to have found a new direction in life in this game.
For Fraser, the bet that made him famous because of his article finally came to a conclusion, and the outcome was unexpectedly exciting. This made his writer's soul burn brightly, and he couldn't wait to publish the next one.
reported.
"Andy, wish you good luck!"
"Mr. Fraser, you too!"
The two shook hands, smiled at each other, and then continued their lives.

When Eddie and David walked into the players' locker room, the scene in front of them made them couldn't help laughing.
Levi, who was surrounded by everyone in the center, looked helpless. All his clothes were gone except his underwear, and he was soaked from head to toe.
Milner, while cheering with the crowd, was still holding a bucket of water to pour water over Levi's head.
It seems that this guy is the initiator.
By the way, although Milner was promoted to the first team for this game, because the first team played earlier this round, he was able to rush over after the game and fully witnessed Levi's performance in the second half.
p>
Milner, who has always loved teasing others, naturally found ways to bully our killer hero, and even called it a celebration for him.
"Okay, my boys," Eddie said with a rare smile, "If you don't stop, you will have to clean the locker room today."
Everyone hurriedly stopped, and Li Wei was finally freed.
"Good job, guys!" Eddie looked around at the young players in the room, nodded with satisfaction, and then fixed his gaze on Levi, "Especially Li."
Being praised by the boss alone is rarer than a hen crowing!
The crowd that had been quiet just now became noisy again, with whistles and strange screams. Milner and Carson, who were close to Levi, even hugged Levi, and Carson's big hands began to ravage him crazily.
Levi's hair.
"Okay, okay, let poor Li go." Facing these teenagers with strong hormones, Eddie also had a headache, "Let's all go take a shower. If anyone catches a cold, they won't be on the list for the next game.
."
This sentence was the most lethal, and everyone dispersed in a hurry.
"James, you didn't play, didn't you? Why did you join in the fun?" Eddie Gray glanced at Milner who was mixed in the crowd.
"Uh, boss, I came over from Beeston and I was sweating. We just happened to go wash up together," Milner said solemnly, but he was thinking in his heart: Wouldn't it be too miserable if I was left alone with the boss?
.
After saying that, Milner hugged Levi next to him and started chatting pretendingly.
"Li, you scored a goal in the first game, so you should treat everyone to a meal, right?"
"Uh, no need, I was just lucky..." Levi still wasn't used to Milner's excessive enthusiasm.
"Of course, you work in a restaurant, don't you? We will go to the restaurant where you work tomorrow and help you attract business!" Seeing that Levi still looked embarrassed, Milner made a decision directly.
p>
"That's it, I'm going to call someone!" After saying that, Milner trotted into the shower room.
"Everyone, in order to celebrate Li's debut, we are going to have a big meal tomorrow!"
Milner's voice came from afar, and Levi smiled helplessly, just let him go, just treat it as soliciting business for Boss John.
However, Levi obviously underestimated Milner's appeal. When he came out after taking a shower and changing clothes, he found that almost all his teammates had reached an agreement, and Carson even came over and asked:
"Li, I heard that you are going to cook in person tomorrow?"
With his eyes shining, he obviously still remembers Levi’s craftsmanship last time.
Well, the rumors are getting more and more outrageous, and they even ask him to cook. But thinking about the dark dishes in Billy Bar, Levi feels that he might really have to cook it himself.
However, although everyone seemed very excited, there was one person who remained indifferent.
Lennon is very confused now, very confused.
As Milner's good engine oil, Milner could not help but pull him, but Lennon seemed less interested in doing so.
After all, he lost the bet.
Although he once wanted to lose on purpose and let his boss arrange for Levi to appear, it was still difficult for him to accept it after he really lost.
It's not that he was still worried about the first time they played against each other. At that time, it was more because he was ashamed and angry at losing to an unknown person. But after this period of training, especially the game just now, he actually recognized the Chinese.
, although I still have to be stubborn.
Besides, it doesn't matter if he loses a month's salary. As the proud son of the youth training camp, his salary is not comparable to that of a newcomer like Li Wei, but apologizing in front of the whole team is really too much.
What a shame!
How could Lennon accept this?
Based on this mentality, it is absolutely impossible for him to have a drink with Li Wei at this time.
It was naturally impossible for Levi to ignore the star player and roommate he met for the first time in this world. He walked towards Lennon, but in his mind he recalled the scene before he came on as a substitute:
"Lee, wait a minute." Coach David stopped Levi, who had just finished tightening his shoelaces and was about to play.
Li Wei was stunned for a moment and turned around.
"Lee, Aaron came to see Eddie this morning," David said with a mysterious smile on his face, "Do you know what they said?"
"Wha...what?" Levi was completely confused.
To be continued...
