Chapter 486: Temptation
On 12 January, Everton were held to a draw at home by Manchester City, with Jagielka and Neville going off injured.
On 20 January, Everton drew away to Wigan Athletic.
Two draws, two wins for Manchester United, and all at once the four-point advantage was erased.
Moyes blamed himself a little, still underestimating the impact of the Christmas schedule, ginger is still old and spicy, and Ferguson is a real thief.
Athletes who are good at long-distance running are all in the back, catching up little by little, and then overtaking, Manchester United is a master.
However, David Moyes did not have time to adjust, with the Carabao Cup semi-final against Chelsea coming up in midweek.
This will determine the first team to reach the Carabao Cup final this season.
*****
On the bus to Goodison Park, the Chelsea players were on fire, and Tang Zhenglong's thief was so hateful that he knocked them out of £500,000.
Especially Barak, who was embarrassed and thrown home, was originally going to frame Tang Zhenglong, but he didn't expect to be photographed ugly.
Suddenly, someone spoke: "Do you think Tang Zhenglong's bastard still has a video?" ”
There was a chuckle in the hearts of the people, it was very possible.
"Why don't you test it later?"
"How to tempt?"
Ballack said: "We asked a Chelsea staff member to pretend to be a reporter, Tang Zhenglong is very greedy for money, as long as he pretends to bid 1 million pounds for the video, Tang Zhenglong will definitely be tempted, provided he still has the video in his hand." ”
At this time, the newcomer Anelka was puzzled: "What video?" ”
“……”
"Well, Nikolai, it's okay to tell you, but you have to keep it a secret."
Barak gave a brief account of what had happened.
"It's Tang Zhenglong's bastard......"
"What? He also has a grudge against you? ”
Anelka's move to Chelsea has only been 10 days ago, mainly due to the tension between Grant and Drogba, who met Tang Zhenglong when he played at Bolton Wanderers and formed a bond.
"That's right, that guy is a bastard."
Someone laughed and said: "Tang Zhenglong will be our teammate next season." ”
"Then we'll let him pick up soap every day."
"Hahaha."
Across the street, on the Everton bus, Tang Zhenglong's whole body suddenly tightened, as if he had just picked up soap.
"What's going on? Could it be that someone is cursing me behind my back? ”
According to the old legend, if someone says bad things about a person behind his back, then he has feelings, such as eyebrows jumping, sneezing.
When I came to the stadium and walked on the way to the locker room, a well-mannered person who looked like a reporter walked over.
"Hello Don, I'm a reporter for The Sun."
Tang Zhenglong waved his hand, "I don't accept interviews." ”
"My name is Stephen."
"Whatever your name, I can't even be interviewed by you."
Tang Zhenglong ignored the other party, and just as Tang Zhenglong was about to leave, Stephen spoke: "I'll pay 1 million pounds." ”
……
Tang Zhenglong turned around and came back.
"What did you say?"
"I'll pay £1 million."
Tang Zhenglong shrugged, "So what? ”
"I'm going to buy the video you have in your hand, it's what happened at the Michelin-starred restaurant two weeks ago."
Tang Zhenglong chuckled in his heart, how did this guy know that I kept the video?
Such a wonderful thing, how could Tang Zhenglong be willing to delete it? When I go back to Chelsea in the future, if my teammates bully me, that thing can save my life.
Tang Zhenglong pretended to be stupid and said, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”
"Don't pretend, don't pretend, there's a reliable source, the waitress told me that day, you had dinner with the Chelsea players."
When it comes to waitresses, it is a bit reliable, Tang Zhenglong believes half of it.
Stephen saw that Tang Zhenglong seemed to believe it, so he stepped up.
"Don, I can sell up to £3 million, but I can only close it in 10 minutes, and if you can't get the video, then I'll leave."
"Think about it, making 3 million in 10 minutes, this is probably the easiest money to make."
£3 million?
Tang Zhenglong was really moved, but what if this was fake?
"By the way, wouldn't you ask Linda about it?"
"I'll think about it."
Stephen looked at his watch, "I'll only wait for you for 10 minutes, and if you don't come, forget it." ”
"Yes."
"By the way, can I take a look at your press card?"
"No problem."
Back in the locker room, Tang Zhenglong hid in the toilet and called Linda.
"Hey, I'm looking for a favor from you."
"What's the matter?"
Tang Zhenglong told the matter.
"You check it for me."
"There's no need to check, he's 100% fake."
Tang Zhenglong Khan.
"Why?"
"Although The Sun is a tabloid, we have a very strict process when we buy news, and besides, our newspaper is really not called Stephen."
"100% sure?"
"Of course."
"Thank you."
hung up the phone, Tang Zhenglong also guessed a ten**, it is estimated that the Chelsea gang is worried that they still have the video in their hands, and they are looking for someone to test themselves, fortunately I know the insiders of "The Sun", otherwise I would have been fooled?
"It's dangerous."
Tang Zhenglong went back to find Stephen.
"How? Do you figure it out? Time is coming up? ”
"Stephen, first of all I want to tell you that your intelligence is right, I did take the video, but then I destroyed it, it's a pity."
Stephen was stunned, "Really? Is this a £3 million video? Think about it again. ”
Tang Zhenglong smiled: "I also want to make this money, but the video has really been destroyed by me." ”
"Well, all I can tell you is a pity."
******
"Destroyed?"
Ballack was a little suspicious, and his teammates looked at each other.
"Are you sure you're not wearing a goof?"
"No, it can be seen that Tang Zhenglong is tempted, but he really doesn't have a video."
"I really didn't expect Tang Zhenglong to be a person who keeps his promises."
Everyone expressed disbelief.
Soon, both sides appeared in the tunnel of the players.
Barak stepped forward and took the initiative to pat Tang Zhenglong's shoulder.
"Don, is the video really destroyed?"
"Nonsense, I, Tang Zhenglong, do what I say."
"I didn't expect you to keep your promise."
"I'm the person who keeps my promise the most, don't worry, you spend the money, and it'll be fine."
When it comes to money, Barak still hurts.
At this time, Tang Zhenglong and Anelka's eyes met.
"Hey, you're in the wrong place, this isn't Bolton."
Anelka looked at Tang Zhenglong coldly.
"You don't disgust me."
'So you're coming to Chelsea, congratulations, you can be my substitute next season.'
Anelka is almost stupid, to be Tang Zhenglong's substitute? Then he will definitely ask for a transfer right away.
"By the way, did Didier really have a conflict with the coach?"
Barak was a little sweaty, it seems that this matter should not be told to Tang Zhenglong.
"No, no, those are all nonsense from the media, it's almost time to play, and I'll talk about it when I have time."
