All football matches for the 0304 season have ended. Outside Beckham's villa in Cheshire, reporters and paparazzi from major British newspapers have set up their guns.
Beckham, who plays for Real Madrid, just returned to the UK this week to prepare for the upcoming 2004 European Cup in Portugal. Before reporting to the national team, Beckham invited some of his England national team teammates and former club teammates to host a party at his villa. Of course, some of Victoria's friends in the entertainment industry will be attending the party. So as long as a car stopped outside the villa, the flashes of reporters and paparazzi never stopped.
"Who would have thought that Porto actually won the Champions League." A reporter kept pressing the shutter and taking pictures of a car parked in front of the villa while talking to another reporter next to him.
"Yes, it is said that their head coach will become the head coach of Chelsea next season." The reporter from "The Sun" returned to the reporter just now. The camera in his hand was also taking pictures non-stop. He did not want to miss anything. For a moment, after all, people who can come to such a party are more or less worthy of digging up some news materials.
"Has it been confirmed?" This reporter from a local Manchester tabloid was obviously not as well-informed as his friend from The Sun.
"It's basically confirmed. A better team, higher salaries, a bigger transfer budget, what's the reason to say no?"
"The Russians are really rich. How much can they spend this summer?"
"50 million? 60 million? 80 million? Maybe 100 million is also possible." The reporter from "The Sun" said casually.
"Who were those two people who just entered?" The tabloid reporter stopped what he was doing, perhaps thinking that these two people he didn't know were not worth wasting film.
"I'm not sure either." The reporter from "The Sun" also stopped.
"It's Chris Casper, and Colin McGee." The reporter from the "Yorkshire Post" next to them told them the answer.
"Are you from the entertainment industry? It doesn't look like it." The tabloid reporter thought he was an 18th-tier starlet.
"They are Beckham's former teammates. They are all from Manchester United's youth training. They are the same as Giggs, Scholes and Neville, but they have not played for Manchester United."
"Oh!" the tabloid reporter was obviously surprised by his colleague's erudition.
"The two of them will appear on the Leeds United coaching staff next season, and it is said that McGee will serve as Leeds United's fitness coach."
"Leeds United is really an amazing team. Who would have thought that they would perform like this in the second half of the game and successfully avoid relegation." Reporters from "The Sun" also began to join their conversation.
The topic of Leeds United's successful avoidance of relegation is the favorite thing to talk about among all Premier League fans recently, as is the topic of the Champions League coach's upcoming appointment as Chelsea coach. On November 8, 2003, Leeds United lost 1-6 as a guest to another newly promoted team, Portsmouth. Three days later, head coach Peter Reid was dismissed from his post. The original plan was for Eddie Gray to be the team's head coach, but Eddie Gray recommended to the club another 30-year-old Chinese coach, George Lee, to serve as the acting head coach.
The amazing result is that this young Chinese acting head coach not only led the team to catch up in the second half of the season and successfully avoid relegation. They also made connections everywhere, which enabled Leeds United to be successfully acquired by a large Chinese consortium at the end of the season, preventing this historic club from being taken over by a local consortium led by bankruptcy experts.
"Why hasn't that magical acting head coach shown up today?" A reporter from a local Manchester tabloid sounded a bit unnatural.
Because with his perfect performance in the second half of last season, the experience of this magical acting Chinese head coach George Lee was also exposed by major media. In fact, Lee George, like Chris Casper and Colin McGee, also came from Manchester United's youth training and was once known as the darling of the Carrington training base. However, due to a serious injury when he was in the youth team, he did not play for Manchester United. He moved to Leeds United in 1996 and then moved to Ajax after playing for two seasons. Later, due to injury, he ended his playing career prematurely and retired before the age of 30. He started at Ajax and worked as a coach for two years before coming to Leeds United to start a new coaching career.
When reporters interviewed Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson, Sir Alex Ferguson once mentioned: "If it weren't for that damn tackle, I would have a genius comparable to Paul Gascoigne."
Later, through the unremitting efforts of the paparazzi, people learned that the other protagonist of that so-called "damn tackle" was the host of today's party, David Beckham.
"It seems to have arrived a long time ago, earlier than us reporters." A reporter from the Yorkshire Post said, "One of the waiters inside is a friend of mine. He just sent me a message telling me that George Li is very Came here a long time ago.”

"Hey, long time no see, you two." Beckham, who was greeting the guests at the door of the villa, opened his hands and hugged his two old teammates after seeing his two old friends.
"Hello Chris, hello Colin." When two members of the Leeds coaching staff got off the bus, Victoria listened to Beckham's introduction and got to know these two former teammates of her husband.
"Hello, Victoria.", "Hello, Victoria."
After greeting each other, Casper and McGee walked into Beckham's villa. When they saw their head coach adjusting his wine glass and chatting with a black beauty, they did not walk over, but walked in the opposite direction to the children in the garden.
In the garden, a tall man held Beckham's 2-year-old son Romeo in one hand, and held many balloons in the other hand to distribute balloons to a group of naughty children.
"This is for you, Carl.", "Brooklyn, this is the red one for you.", "Is there any kid who hasn't gotten one yet?", "Sean, are you sure you don't want one?"
"Oh, Peter!" McGee joked towards the tall man, "You don't have to retire at all, you can let Paul Robinson sit on the bench."
Paul Robinson is Leeds United's current main goalkeeper.
"Yes, you can save 100 footballs. If we don't have a transfer budget, we can cash out Paul for millions of pounds." Casper also joined in.
"OK, let's go play, kids." The tall man dismissed the group of naughty children and walked towards the two Leeds coaches with Romeo in his arms.
Peter Schmeichel just retired from Manchester City last year. He just took a year off after retiring and was invited by George Lee to join the coaching staff of Leeds United as the goalkeeper coach.
"But actually, we are not short of money." Schmeichel said to Kasper.
"Yes, if we hadn't performed so poorly last year and no big names were willing to come to us, we could have just written checks in the transfer market like Chelsea." McGee added.
"So what George said, money can't be spent until we win the European championship."
"Without championships, there are no stars; without stars, there are no championships."
"Didn't this year's Porto prove that you can win the championship without big names?" Kasper interjected.
"This is not what you, the physical coach, should worry about, Colin." Schmeichel said to McGee, "You should think about how to give the players the physical fitness to meet George's tactical needs."
"George is there, what are you talking about with that black beauty?" McGee quickly changed the topic.
"It seemed like he was rapping or something." Schmeichel arrived a little early after all.
"Damn if George is going to sing tonight."
"Let us get drunk and pass out first."
George Lee's tone-deafness was something that all Manchester United teammates were afraid of at the time.
"I would rather face the old man's hair dryer all night than listen to George sing a song." Casper saw George Li clinking glasses with the black beauty, and he also picked up a glass of wine and walked over to George Li.
