Naturally, the old Nelsons were extremely enthusiastic about George's return. After all, it is obviously impossible for the old Nelsons as parents not to feel proud when they see their son who has been away from home for a long time finally come home to reunite and become so successful.
And when the old Nelsons and his wife saw that George actually brought a woman home this time, and it was also the jewel in the eye of the Hood family, Elizabeth Hood, the old Nelsons and his wife could be said to have tears in their eyes, and their enthusiasm suddenly increased by another level. Stairs!
After so many years, I finally saw my son bring an adult member of the opposite sex, other than Adele, to his home as a guest!
Obviously, even in Western society, parents are very concerned about their children's emotional life and marital status. However, because this was George's private matter, it was not easy to get involved, and the two old people felt guilty for not being able to help George when he was planning to start a business. Therefore, the old Nelsons did not make any changes to George's love life. What kind of interference, but a kind of letting things go.
Of course, although it is said that there is freedom of marriage, given the status of the Nelson family, it is obviously an unrealistic fantasy for George to find a wife based solely on his own preferences and tastes - a well-matched person can do this no matter which country he is in. A common phenomenon, especially for hereditary nobles like Nelson.
Therefore, when they learned that George had chosen the eldest daughter of the Hood family, who had been friends with the Nelson family for generations, a stone in the hearts of the old Nelsons finally fell to the ground.
Because the old Nelsons attached great importance to their son's marriage, Elizabeth, who had just established a relationship with George, was naturally entertained by the other party and constantly asked about her future plans (such as when she planned to get engaged to George). Even Adele complained to George a little bit after dinner, saying that she felt that her status in the family had begun to plummet since Ellie arrived.
"Haha, don't be angry~ At least to your brother and me, Adele, you will always be my most precious treasure." After hearing his sister's complaints, George touched Adele's head lovingly, feeling The younger sister's soft and silky hair smiled and comforted someone who was losing his temper, "Okay, my princess, today is Christmas Eve, so you should spend this holiday happily."
"Are you serious?" After hearing George's words, Adele suddenly beamed with joy. That smile was enough to melt the ice and snow, "Then brother, I will have to rely on you to support me for the rest of my life~"
Although on the most important matter of the engagement, both the old Nelsons, George and Isabella all believed that this matter should be finalized as soon as possible to avoid any unexpected situations in the long nights and dreams. After all, old Nelson had heard about the private actions of some people in the family, so he would not take it lightly.
However, this matter cannot be rushed after all. At least, it is absolutely impossible to do it during Christmas this time. After all, Elizabeth's Hood family still knows nothing about this matter - Viscount Stanley Hood, a daughter-in-law, always thought that Elizabeth was spending Christmas in London with her best friend Adele.
Therefore, if George silently gets engaged to Elizabeth without notifying the Hood family, not only will the Hood family be embarrassed, but it will also be a big blow to the reputation of the Nelson family. Not to mention, after learning about George's secret plot to Chen Cang, will old Stanley chase him all over London with a cane?
Of course, even if the two of them had not made a private life-long commitment, in the eyes of old Stanley, George, a brat, was the most likely guy to kidnap his precious daughter, so his impression of him would not be much better.
After spending a warm Christmas Eve with his family and lover, George hurriedly drove back to London early the next morning - after all, tomorrow was the day of the Tottenham game, and as the team's head coach, He must lead by example and go to the training ground to supervise the team's training work.
Although today is Christmas, there is a game against Portsmouth tomorrow, so George and the players have no choice but to focus on spending time with their families and prepare seriously for the upcoming game. For Tottenham, which has lost two consecutive games in the league, the team really can't afford another draw or loss at this time!
In this way, the time finally came to December 26. The entire Tottenham team arrived in Portsmouth, located in southeastern England, on time to prepare for the game against the Legion of Pompeii in the evening!
Although the American businessman Milan Mandric acquired this club with a long history in 1999 and invested a lot in Portsmouth, the results of the Pompeii Legion have not improved much, and they have always failed one after another. The Premier League is lingering, and there is always a slight gap between being promoted to the Premier League. However, after the arrival of Harry Redknapp, the new-look Portsmouth finally managed to qualify for direct promotion as League One champions last season, realizing their years-long dream of returning to the Premier League. .
And this summer, the old Redknapp gave full play to his deep connections in English football and brought many veterans with rich Premier League experience to Portsmouth, which not only strengthened the team's The overall strength has brought valuable top-level league experience to Portsmouth, allowing the team to cope with Premier League matches more easily and increasing the team's chances of successfully avoiding relegation at the end of the season.
Hislop, Primus, Arjan Dezeu, Stefanovic, Hayden Fox, Tim Sherwood, Kevin Harper, Nigel Kwasi, Svetoslav Todorou Husband and Teddy Sheringham, five of Portsmouth's starting lineup for this game are over 30 years old, and four are over 33 years old. It can be called old-fashioned. Obviously, the old Redknapp intends to use the advantage of the home court and the rich game experience of the team's veterans to increase the team's possibility of grabbing points from Tottenham.
And George also had no intention of letting go. Goalkeeper Cech, the four defenders from left to right are Matthew Taylor, Vidic, Ledley King and Phil Neville, the midfielder is the combination of Carrick and Kompany, Ribery and Da Len Anderton is separated on the left and right, with Drogba and Robbie Keane partnering up front.
Ever since he realized that no matter how much he emphasized, Bierovka and Darren Anderton could not break away from the traditional winger's playing mode, George tried his best to avoid playing the two at the same time, causing the team to appear in the game. The offense lacks layering.
As the biggest star in the Portsmouth team, the 37-year-old Sheringham's state this season can only be considered unsatisfactory. He is no longer the same player he played at Manchester United two years ago. However, despite this, old Redknapp still chose to trust this veteran in this game and put Sheringham, who has only scored three league goals so far, into the starting lineup.
The old Redknapp did this for two reasons: first, because the team currently has limited manpower, and Sheringham can already be regarded as the most reliable forward in the Portsmouth team; second, because of Sheringham Tom was kicked out by George Nelson. Therefore, in this direct confrontation with Tottenham Hotspur, Sheringham will definitely do his best in the game to prove to George what a wrong decision it was to drive him away from White Hart Lane!
If George knew what the old Redknapp was thinking at this time, he would definitely smile and say to the old Redknapp that you are overthinking. You know, Tottenham Hotspur's record this season has been greatly improved compared to last season, and being firmly in the top four in the standings when the season is about halfway through has greatly enhanced George's prestige among fans. At the same time, the newly joined Drogba, Tony and Villa also showed great potential and quality, making Tottenham fans quickly forget about the aging Sheringham.
Therefore, no matter how Sheringham performs in this game, fans will not blame George for this matter. At most, they can just lament after the game that they are still too old, or that their forwards are too inexperienced and need further training.
Although Sheringham's performance in the game cannot be said to be unworkable, he is old and frail and can no longer break through the central defense line composed of Ledley King and Vidic, let alone penetrate Tottenham's goal. On the Tottenham side, the forward pairing of Drogba and Robbie Keane can be said to complement each other. Portsmouth's defenders tried their best but could not withstand the combined impact of the two.
In the end, in the eighteenth round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur, who were away at Fratton Park, had the last laugh thanks to goals from Drogba and Robbie Keane, with a score of 2-0. Winning this game ended two consecutive rounds of winless league games and scored all three points in the away game!
After the game, George and the players did not choose to stay overnight in this port city, but took a bus from Portsmouth back to London overnight. Because two days later, they will have a match against Charlton in the 19th round of the Premier League at White Hart Lane!
There is no winter break, and the schedule is always three games a week or two games in three days. This is the most iconic part of English football and the most intolerable to the players.
Of course, in return for the lack of winter break and intensive schedule, the average income of Premier League clubs and players is also higher than that of other major leagues. Under the temptation of such a sugar-coated bullet, although players and coaches complain about the Premier League's extremely intensive schedule without a winter break, if the matter of resuming the winter break is really put on the table for discussion, Most of them will probably vote against it at the first opportunity.
You can't have your cake and eat it too, especially for football players whose career lifespan is extremely limited. In order to earn enough for the rest of their lives in just a dozen years, between a mere week's Christmas vacation and a high salary, most players are afraid that They will choose the latter without hesitation. Otherwise, why don't they choose to play outside the Premier League, but insist on staying in the Premier League while complaining?
