Chapter 20: Scotch Whisky

At half-time, the fans on the pitch slowly learned that Moyes was leaving, and although some extreme fans could not accept the sudden blow and began to yell at Moyes, many other fans were still willing to support their manager with applause.

Obviously, the fans' thoughts are much simpler than the club's board of directors, since they like Moyes, they want to support his decision, not to mention that it is not another rich club that poachs him, but to return to Scotland to coach the national team that he has always dreamed of, most of the fans are just reluctant to let Moyes leave from their hearts, so some fans actually wrote a large banner on the spot "Celebrate home, wait for return", and chanted Moyes's name in unison.

In the Everton lounge, the players were listening to Moyes explain to them the problems in the first half and the way they played in the second half, no one spoke, everyone looked at their brother coach quietly, when Moyes finished speaking, everyone did not move, still waiting for Moyes to speak, Moyes's departure, how it will affect their future, they don't know, so they want to hear what Moyes himself has to say.

However, there are at least three people in the lounge who are snickering in their hearts right now: the main striker McFadden, the backup goalkeeper Torna and the backup midfielder Cameron, because they have one thing in common, they are Scottish.

"Look, I don't think my first international debut is too far away." Cameron winked at McFadden, who was five years his senior, and compared to the famous Scottish striker who has scored 13 goals in 40 international appearances, the youngster who has been described as Scotland's future midfielder has only played for the national youth team so far.

McFadden glanced at his little brother, and he knew how he felt, just as he had been six years ago.

"Okay, I originally wanted to talk to you after the game, originally, this matter was finalized this morning, I know, everyone may have ideas in their hearts, will blame me, in the beginning of the season to leave in such a hurry, but I also know that everyone will understand me, as a professional footballer, playing for the country is our greatest responsibility, although Scotland is now part of the Kingdom of Great Britain, we do not talk about politics, but, at least in football, Scotland has always been a country of reading, Now she needs me to go back and serve my country, so I can only say sorry to you. ”

At this time, Chairman Bill, who rarely walked into the Everton lounge at halftime, suddenly appeared at the door, and before the players could open their mouths to speak, Bill opened the conversation box first, "This time Davy's determination is very strong, and I can't keep him, so I can only think of the last way, which is to let you and the fans know the reality that he is leaving during the middle of the game, and I hope you can keep him for me, but obviously I was wrong, seeing the reaction of the fans, hearing what he said just now, I know, I can only look for a new manager right away, and the change of manager at this time will definitely have a big impact on Everton's results this season, but I have never blamed Davy, telling everyone that he is even willing to pay two million pounds in liquidated damages, but of course this will not make him pay, the Scottish Football Association has promised to pay this fee, bless you, David. With that, Bill quickly left.

The players began to applaud slowly, they were moved, moved by Moyes's patriotism and Bill's magnanimity, and they gathered around as before, praying together with Moyes for the second half victory.

Just when the players were about to play, Bill suddenly ran back, his face appeared a surprising red, as if he had drunk too much Scotch, he hugged Moyes, and announced loudly in a somewhat trembling voice, "The latest news, I just spoke to the Scottish Football Association on the phone, and they agreed to my last suggestion, Everton gave up the two million pounds in liquidated damages, and they also promised to let David be the head coach of Everton and Scotland at the same time, at the end of this season, David will officially turn around and play in the European Championship qualifiers, of course, this season's international match in Scotland will also let David command, which is good for all of us, after all, the Scottish players except for Rangers and Celtic basically play in the English league, and David can still perform his duties as the head coach of the Scottish team here. ”

Sure enough, it was great news, and the lounge was full of jubilation, and Moyes excitedly crossed and thanked God as if he couldn't believe it.

The players also went up to hug Moyes, and only the backup goalkeeper Torna, who had not spoken much, said to Cameron with some unhappiness, "This is over, and our national team will have fewer opportunities to play." ”

Cameron was stunned, "Why?" David is still our coach and he's always going to take care of us. ”

"What do you think, if he leaves, then we are his former players, and it is normal for him to take care of a little bit, but now he is still the coach of Everton, in order to avoid suspicion, he may not recruit us into the national team." Cameron listened, and became depressed.

"What do you think, whether you can enter the national team or not, it depends on our ability and condition, you guys, let's talk about Everton's starting line-up." McFadden, the eldest, taught the two younger brothers a lesson......

Everton's morale was boosted as soon as they came on in the second half, and it was soon up to be led again by Welsh right winger Simon Davies.

Wenger felt that something must have happened to Everton at halftime, which greatly boosted the morale of the players, and he also knew the news that Moyes was leaving, so the professor didn't understand why these Everton players were so excited, and he didn't think much about it, so he hurriedly adjusted the lineup, allowing Mark Karl to replace SiWalker, who had a somewhat reduced physical strength, so that Helder could go up more, hoping to use the midfield's possession and breakthrough to create more opportunities for the two forwards.

The professor's idea paid off, and five minutes later, Helde broke through Cahill's defence, faced the oncoming Lescott, and after a Marseille maneuver, he played a clever pass to Aguero who came up to meet him, and finally the Argentine delivered the fatal blow.

The Everton man, who was equalized again, then played a lot of threatening balls, I don't know if it was the excitement that caused the action to deform, or Moyes did not go and used up Everton's luck, twice on the net and once on the post, the score was still fixed at 2-2.

"Lao Liu, I invite you and the professor and Scotch whisky."

"Okay, when are you leaving?"

"Don't leave for now, you can come to me and Whiskey at any time."
