Afternoon, overcast, Thorpe Arch training ground, head coach's office.
George Li held a cup of coffee in his hand and watched the young players of the youth team training on the training ground. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the photo placed in the cabinet. It was a photo of George Li and a beautiful white woman. The woman was holding a baby in her hand.
^^^
"Where am I? What's wrong with me?" George Li just opened his eyes, but the headache made him immediately close his eyes again.
"Wake up!" A group of people in white coats surrounded the hospital bed. When they saw the person waking up, they started to get busy.
George Li was originally an overseas student in the UK. He graduated from the Department of Physics of Oxford University. After graduation, he did not choose to return to China. Instead, he stayed in the UK and worked in data analysis for the Premier League team Brentford. Brentford performed well in the Premier League in the 22-23 season and is expected to impact the European Division before the end of the season.
George Li was originally very proud. Because of his excellent work and the good performance of the team, his leaders were prepared to give him a generous bonus after the season. At the same time, I met an international student from the Netherlands at an alumni party two days ago. They had been chatting in full swing for the past two days, and George Li felt that his single career was about to end.
George Li finished his day's work and was going to have a date with a Dutch school girl to discuss his future life. Just after shutting down the computer and standing up, I suddenly felt dizzy and then lost consciousness.
"Where is this?" When he woke up again, he found himself lying in the hospital, surrounded by a group of doctors. There were various medical instruments on the table next to him, and they were beeping and beeping. With.
The door of the ward opened, and three men in suits walked in. They wanted to come over and take a look at George Li lying on the hospital bed, but were stopped by a doctor, and then they started to communicate.
"...I'm awake, I just woke up...It's not life-threatening...Yes, yes, yes...We will try our best...but..." The doctor and the three men in suits were talking. What, two of the three men in suits are older, in their fifties or sixties, and one is younger, probably in his thirties.
George Li felt his headache come back again, and he fainted again after a while.
When he woke up again, he found the three men in suits sitting beside his hospital bed, looking at him.
"George, George, how are you feeling?"
"Mike, go and call the doctor." The older man in a suit asked the young man in a suit next to him to call the doctor. The two men's faces have similar edges and corners. They should be father and son. They both have ZG faces, but Speaking of it is in English.
This time George Li saw it more clearly.
"I, where am I?" George Li's throat was hoarse.
"George, please stop talking and lie down." Another older man in a suit said, but his English sounded different from the previous two people, but he had the face of a foreigner.
At this time, a man in a suit named Mike came in with a doctor. A group of doctors began to examine George Li again.
^^^
Three days later, George Li was lying on the bed, or the new George Li was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling in a daze.
He traveled back in time from 2023 to 2000. The original owner, George Li, went to see Jesus because of a car accident, and George Li happened to be reborn into him.
The original owner, George Lee, is a Chinese football player in the UK. He is a member of Manchester United's youth training and a talented player. However, due to injuries, he failed to realize his talents, so he did not play on behalf of Manchester United, which is full of talents. Instead, he moved to Leeds United in 1996 and spent two seasons with Leeds United before moving to Ajax.
During the offseason in the summer of 2000, I originally planned to return to my home in Yorkshire, England, to briefly reunite with my family, and then return to the Netherlands with my wife to watch the 2000 European Cup. Unexpectedly, on the way to Leeds Bradford International Airport, he encountered a car accident.
George Li was seriously injured and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
George Lee's wife, Vanessa Lee, died after resuscitation failed.
A female friend of Vanessa's in the car and two passers-by died at the scene.
"Dong dong." There was a knock on the door.
The man formerly named Mike pushed open the door and came in, holding a three or four-year-old boy in his arms.
"George, I'll bring Winter to see you."
"..."
"Winter said he missed his mother." Mike Li looked a little lonely.
"Come, come to daddy." George Li was a little weak and waved to the little boy.
The child named Winter got off Mike Li, walked to George Li's side and held his big hand, tears streaming down his face.
"Dad, is mommy really gone?" the little guy cried, "is what Uncle Mike said true?"
"..."
"Winter, you have to be a strong child." Mike Li squatted down and hugged Winter and said.
The little boy cried in his uncle's arms while holding his father's hand.
It took Mike Li a long time to coax him and finally made him stop crying.
The little boy is the child of George Li and Vanessa. George Li's wife Vanessa is Dutch and met him when they were studying in Leeds, England. The two got married in 1996. Vanessa spent two years with George Lee at Leeds United, and later went to Ajax at Vanessa's suggestion.
Because Vanessa herself is Dutch, and Vanessa's father, George Li's father-in-law, is the older man in a suit with a foreign face that Li saw when he just woke up. Bill Ross is a famous businessman in Amsterdam. He is also a member of the Ajax Board of Directors. Therefore, although George Lee is not the main starting player after moving to Ajax, he will not sit on the bench.
It can be said that Vanessa, a good wife, played a very important role in George Li's football career, but such a beautiful and gentle woman passed away at a young age.
"Dong dong." Although the door of the ward was open, it was knocked twice, indicating that someone was about to come in.
Another man in a suit who came in with Bill Ross and Mike Lee before came to see George Lee. He was George Lee's father, Jim Lee, a well-known Chinese banker in Yorkshire and a famous billionaire in Leeds.
Their family came to Britain very early at the end of the Qing Dynasty. After several generations of hard work and development, the family business is now very large. It not only involves finance, catering, light industry, etc., but is now preparing to enter the entertainment and sports industries.
In short, their family is still very famous in the British Chinese circle.
"I have something to talk to you about." Jim Li said, not sure if he was talking to Mike Li or George Li who was lying on the bed.
"Do you need me to take Winter out?" Mike Li said.
"No, no, let's talk together."
"Okay." Mike Li, who had just stood up, found a stool and sat down again, hugging Winter as well.
"That's right, Vanessa's friend's name is Ann, Anmalai..."
"Annmarie." Mike Li reminded.
"Yes, Annemarie."
"..."
"Isn't Anne Marie a single mother..."
^^^
In the head coach's office at the Thorpe Arch training ground, George Lee's thoughts returned to reality.
At this time, the coach of the youth team, John Sheridan, walked in. Also coming in were two children of about ten years old wearing training clothes.
"George, I didn't disturb you."
"No, no."
John Sheridan hung up his boots and retired after last season. He was invited by his mentor Eddie Gray to come to Leeds United, where he had played for eight seasons, as a youth training coach. Eddie Gray resigned from the coaching staff after last season and became the team's director of football.
"These two children of yours are really a problem for me." Sheridan took the coffee handed over by George Li and took a sip, "I just wanted to transfer Sean to U14, but he didn't agree to have to be with Karl in the team. Together, stay in U12.”
Carl Olson, 9 years old, is the son of Vanessa Lee's friend Anne Marie. He was orphaned after Anne Marie and Vanessa were killed in a car accident. After the accident, at the suggestion of Jim Lee, he was orphaned. Adopted by George Lee.
Sean Wallace, 11 years old, is the son of two passers-by who were killed in the accident. When the accident happened, Wallace was protected by his mother. Although he was injured, he miraculously survived and was later adopted by George Lee.
"Sean, what's going on?" George Li straightened his face and acted like an old father.
"As an older brother, I want to take care of Carl in U12." Wallace lowered his head and said.
"You are such a good brother, then why don't you go to the Ajax youth team to take care of Winter."
"No, we're not going, we're going to Ajax and Bill will make all three of us play for the Dutch national team when we grow up."
Vanessa had a wish during her lifetime that their children could represent the Dutch national team when they grow up, win the World Cup, and become another football champion after Pele and Maradona.
After her death, Lee George first started his coaching career at Ajax and served as a tactical coach on the Ajax coaching staff. Later, he returned to the UK to join Leeds United and first served as the team's assistant coach. But his two adopted sons Olson and Wallace returned to the UK with him, while his biological son Li Winter was left with his grandfather and continued to live in the Netherlands. He would only return to the UK with Li George and the others during holidays. Reunion.
"I, I'm Norwegian, how can I play football on behalf of the Netherlands? I want to lead Norway to the World Cup." The younger Karl spoke at this time. His mother Annemarie is Norwegian and grew up in Leeds. I was classmates with Vanessa when I was studying abroad.
"Oh, Winter is going to win the World Cup on behalf of the Netherlands, Carl you are going to win the World Cup on behalf of Norway, what about you Sean?"
"Then I will represent Scotland and win two World Cup runner-ups." Wallace takes care of his two younger brothers at all times.
"..." These words made George Li and Sheridan quite speechless.
"Okay, let's go home. Say goodbye to Coach John."
"goodbye."
"Goodbye, Coach John."
"Goodbye, future world champion and world runner-up." Sheridan said goodbye to the father and son. "Please help me say hello to another future world champion tomorrow."
"Come on, let's go back and pack our bags."
Tomorrow, George Lee will take Olsen and Wallace to the Netherlands. After staying in the Netherlands for a few days, he, together with Bill Ross and Lee Winter, will go to Portugal to meet Jim Lee and Mike Lee. Went to watch this year's European Cup.
