In the dining room of his house on Henningswell Island, George Lee finally connected to the Internet and started video chatting with Eddie Gray on his computer.
Several other people were watching the broadcast of the Champions League final on TV in the living room.
Annie was the only one who kept taking out dried cod fish from the snack bag, putting it in her mouth and nibbling on it.
The Champions League final between Arsenal and Barcelona is now entering the halftime period, with Arsenal temporarily leading 1-0.
In the MSN discussion group of the Leeds United coaching staff, some people have already begun to discuss whether Arsenal and Liverpool will enter the Champions League together next season, or whether Liverpool, who finished fourth, will play in the Europa League.
Because of the emergence of Lee George, in the previous season 2004/05, the season when Liverpool won the Champions League, there was no such thing as Everton fourth, Liverpool fifth, and the five Premier League teams entering the Champions League.
Therefore, if Arsenal wins the Champions League this season, it is still unknown how many teams will enter the Champions League next season. It depends on UEFA's specific statement.
Of course, the premise is that Arsenal wants to win, but according to the development of the story that George Li knows, Barcelona will counterattack in the second half, and Arsenal ends up hating the Stade de France.
"The Swede watched our Europa League final broadcast with me. He also admires our Leeds United very much, especially you, George." Gray has returned to Leeds and is reporting on Ibrahimovic's transfer progress with Lee George. .
"You say that, but I feel uneasy. Just say it." After hearing Gray's words, George Li's tone did not sound like he had already captured Ibrahimovic.
"Uh~, indeed." Gray could only tell the truth, "We have many competitors. Juventus' relegation is certain, but the Swedes prefer to stay in Italy and play football."
"He still doesn't like us Leeds United, right." George Lee couldn't help but feel a little regretful. This is the second time Ibrahimovic has rejected Leeds United.
"It can be said that the two teams that want to introduce him are mainly the two teams in Milan. AC Milan may be more promising."
"Humph, really?" It's just that Li is not optimistic about AC Milan. After all, this team will also be affected by the phone scandal.
"However, he didn't say anything. He said that if he comes to the Premier League next time, his first choice must be our Leeds United."
"Hmph, the third surname...then he has to go to La Liga, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1 before coming to our place. At that time, let alone Karl and Sean, even Erling can Play football for me and attack the city."
"Anyway, he didn't say anything to death, right?"
"In this case, we can only choose other forwards this summer. Eddie, you have to take a proper rest and get busy. I'm sorry that you couldn't come with us in the UEFA Cup final."
"It's okay. The team is developing so well. I think I will have many opportunities to participate in awards and parades."
"Let's not give up on the Swedes and continue to follow up, but you don't have to be personally involved. We should still focus on Ruud van Nistelrooy and Kuyt. We must win one of them in these two summers."
"Can."
"For the rest, we will continue to follow up as planned in the previous meeting. If there is any transfer, please contact me in time."
"Okay, do you want to go to Germany?" Gray asked George Li.
We had previously agreed to go to Germany to watch the World Cup together to inspect players, but when we talked about it just now, George Li changed his mind and wanted to stay in Northern Europe for a while longer and not go to the World Cup.
After all, in his team planning, there are only three teams he wants to inspect in this World Cup: England, the Netherlands and Sweden.
As for England and the Netherlands, he is already familiar with them and cannot be more familiar with them. As for Sweden...
Besides Ibrahimovic, is there anything else?
George Li clicked on a webpage and began to check the roster of the Swedish national team.
As he looked at it, he suddenly saw someone he was more interested in.
"Hey, hey, hey, is the network not good... George, can you hear me?" Gray called out to George Li loudly in the headset.
"I heard it. I'm looking at the World Cup rosters of several teams. Please pay attention to someone we can consider transferring."
"Who?" Gray asked curiously. He always admired George Li's eye for people.
"That's the one from the Swedish team..."
After George Li finished speaking, he returned to the living room and watched the game with Helen and the others.
Sure enough, in the second half, Barcelona took advantage of one more player and scored two goals in the 76th and 81st minutes to reverse Arsenal and win the Champions League.
"Okay, let's leave tomorrow for the Faroe Islands."
After the game, George Li also asked several others to take a rest and leave for the next destination tomorrow.
When George Li was also about to take a rest, he looked back at the TV that was not turned off.
Barcelona, European Super Cup, hehe...
Interesting.

"I didn't expect that Coach Li would come here in person."
The speaker was the head coach of the youth team in the Faroe Islands. Although there are several clubs here, they are all semi-professional.
After all, it is impossible for a country with only 50,000 people to have professional clubs, let alone club youth teams.
There are many football fields here, and the children here like to play football.
Because the dimensions here are relatively high and the days are particularly long in the summer, the young players here may have to play for more than ten hours.
For example, the Charlotte players who are training with the Faroe Islands youth team have been playing and playing from early morning until night, and it's not dark yet.
Helen and Anne have come over several times to deliver food.
"As you know, I'm here this time. One is here to represent the club and talk to you about cooperation. Starting next season, Leeds United will send a group of young coaches who have just obtained coaching qualifications to come here to help. You train young players.”
"Thank you very much. Our pressure can be reduced. You also know that there are not many regular coaches here..."
George Li waved his hand to show that he knew the situation here, and then held the other person's hand with both hands.
"It will be fine. After all, our chairman is a generous and kind man. He is willing to do some charity activities." George Li said a few good words about his brother, "The second one is that I will do it in my own name." I will donate a batch of supplies to you, such as footballs, sneakers, socks, clothes, etc. I hope you won’t dislike it.”
"How could this happen?" The opponent's coach was extremely grateful to George Li for his generosity.
"And that, my son Winter wants to invite some of your outstanding young players to watch games at Leeds United and Ajax next season, and he will pay for the expenses. You may not know, but he is a rich man. A little rich man."
"Haha~" The coach of the Faroe Islands youth team was even more happy, and he could hardly close his mouth.
Seeing that the atmosphere had reached this point, George Li finally said the last thing he wanted to do here.
"I think that little player wearing No. 14 has good skills. I wonder if he is interested in joining our Leeds United youth team. As soon as I saw him, I thought he had a lot of future." Li George pointed to the shooting training on the field. Faroe Islands young players.
"No. 14, right?" The coach didn't refuse. After all, there are almost no opportunities to play and train in big clubs in the Faroe Islands. "Edmundsson! Come here!"
"Oh~"
A blond boy who looked slightly older than Wallace heard the coach's shout and ran over.
