Naturally, the old Nelson were extremely enthusiastic about George's return. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After all, it would be obviously impossible for the old Nelson and his parents, who were parents, not to be proud to see their son who had been away from home for a long time finally come home and become so promising.

And when the old Nelson saw that George actually brought a woman home this time, and it was also the pearl of the Hood family, Elizabeth Hood, the old Nelson could be said to be in tears, and the level of enthusiasm suddenly rose to a new level!

After many years, I finally saw my son bring an adult of the opposite sex other than Adele to the house as a guest!

Obviously, even in Western society, parents are quite concerned about their children's love life and marital status. It's just that because this is George's private matter, it is not easy to meddle, and the two old men feel guilty for not being able to help George when he was planning to start a business, so the old Nelson couple did not interfere with George's love life, but held a resigned mentality.

Of course, although it is said that marriage is free, with the status of the Nelson family, it is obviously an unrealistic fantasy for George to find a wife according to his own preferences and tastes, which is a common phenomenon in all countries, especially for a hereditary aristocrat like Nelson.

Therefore, when they learned that George had chosen the daughter of the Hood family, who had been friends with the Nelson family for generations, a stone in the hearts of the old Nelson finally fell to the ground.

Because the old Nelson attached great importance to their son's marriage, Elizabeth, who had just established a relationship with George, was naturally treated hospitably by the other party, and constantly asked the other party about future plans (such as when she planned to get engaged to George). Even Adele complained to George after dinner with some disgust, saying that it felt like Eli's status in the family had been plummeting since she arrived......

"Haha, don't be angry~ At least in your brother and me, Adele, you will always be my most precious treasure. After listening to his sister's complaints, George touched Adele's head dotingly, felt his sister's soft and silky hair, and smiled to comfort someone who was having a little temper, "Okay, my Royal Highness, it's Christmas Eve, and you have to spend this holiday happily." ”

"Is this true?" Hearing George's words, Adele suddenly smiled, and that smile was enough to melt the ice and snow, "Then brother, I will depend on you to feed me in this life~"

Although the most important matter of the engagement, whether it was the old Nelson or George or Isabella, it was better to settle the matter as soon as possible, so as to avoid any more surprises after long nights. After all, old Nelson had also heard of the private actions of some people in the family, so he naturally would not take it lightly.

However, this matter is still in a hurry, at least, this time it is absolutely impossible to do it during the Christmas period. After all, Elizabeth's Hood family still knew nothing about it - Viscount Stanley Hood's daughter had always thought that Elizabeth was spending Christmas with her best friend Adele in London.

Therefore, if George was engaged to Elizabeth without informing the Hood family, not only would the Hood family be unable to get by in terms of face, but it would also be a big blow to the prestige of the Nelson family. Not to mention, will old Stanley, who learned of George's secret move, raise his cane all over London to hunt him down......

Of course, even if the two did not make a private agreement for life, in the eyes of old Stanley, George, a stinky boy, was the most likely to run away from his baby daughter, and his impression of him would naturally not be much better.

After a warm Christmas Eve with his family and lovers, George hurried back to London the next morning - after all, tomorrow was Tottenham's day, and as the team's manager, he had to lead by example and oversee the team's training at the training ground.

Even though it's Christmas, with a game against Portsmouth tomorrow, George and the players have to keep their families together and prepare for the upcoming matchup. For Tottenham, who have been winless in two consecutive league games, the team really can't afford another draw or defeat at this time!

In this way, the time finally came on December 26, and the whole Tottenham team arrived in Portsmouth in the southeast of England on time to prepare for the evening match against the Pompeii Army!

Although American businessman Milan Mandridge bought the historic club in 1999 and invested heavily in Portsmouth, Pompeii's results have not improved much, and they have always hovered in the second division, and there is always a little gap between promotion to the Premier League. However, following the arrival of Harry Redknapp, the rejuvenated Portsmouth finally managed to secure a direct promotion as League One champions last season, fulfilling their long-cherished dream of returning to the Premier League.

And this summer, the elder Redknapp has made full use of his deep connections in English football, bringing many veterans with rich Premier League experience to Portsmouth, not only strengthening the overall strength of the team, but also bringing valuable top-flight experience to Portsmouth, so that the team can deal with the Premier League games more easily, and increase the chances of the team succeeding in relegation at the end of the season.

Heatlop, Primes, Arjan De Zeou, Stefanovic, Hayden Fox, Tim Sherwood, Kevin Harper, Nigel Kwashi, Svitoslav Todorov and Teddy Sheringham, five of Portsmouth's starting line-up for this game were over the age of 30, and four were over the age of 33. Clearly, Redknapp Sr. intends to use the home advantage and the experience of the veterans in the squad to increase the likelihood of the team stealing points from Tottenham.

And George's side also has no intention of releasing the water. Goalkeeper Petr Cech, the back four from left to right, Matthew Taylor, Nemanja Vidic, Ledley King and Phil Neville, the middle of the midfield is a combination of Carrick and Kompany, Ribery and Darren Anderton are separated, and Didier Drogba and Robbie Keane are up front.

Since realising that Bierovka and Darren Anderton can't get out of the traditional winger pattern no matter how much he puts it on the line, George has tried to avoid having both players play at the same time, resulting in a lack of depth in the game.

As the biggest star in the Portsmouth team, the 37-year-old Sheringham has been in poor form this season, and he is no longer the one he played at Manchester United two years ago. However, despite this, the elder Redknapp chose to trust the veteran in this game, putting Sheringham, who has only three league goals so far, into the starting line-up.

The elder Redknapp did this for two reasons: first, because the team is currently limited in manpower, and Sheringham can already be considered the most reliable striker in the Portsmouth team, and second, because Sheringham was swept away by George Nelson. So, in this direct clash with Tottenham Hotspur, Sheringham will certainly do everything in the game to prove to George what a wrong decision it was to get him out of White Hart Lane in the first place!

If George knew what the old Redknapp was thinking at this time, he would definitely laugh and say to the old Redknapp that you think too much. You know, Tottenham Hotspur's record this season has been a huge improvement from last season, and the current situation of being in the top four of the table at the halfway point of the season has greatly enhanced George's prestige among fans. At the same time, new signings Didier Drogba, Toney and Villa have also shown good potential and quality, making Tottenham fans forget about the aging Sheringham very quickly.

Therefore, no matter how Sheringham played in this game, the fans will not blame George for this incident. At most, after the game, I sighed that Jiang was still old and spicy, or that several of his own forwards were too inexperienced and needed to be further honed.

Despite Sheringham's performance in the game, his age and frailty were no longer able to break through the central defence of Ledley King and Nemanja Vidic, let alone penetrate the Tottenham goal. On the other hand, on Tottenham's side, the forward partnership of Didier Drogba and Robbie Keane can be said to complement each other, and the Portsmouth defenders tried their best to resist the combined impact of the two.

In the end, in the 18th round of the English Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur, who visited Fratton Park, had the last laugh with the goals of Drogba and Robbie Keane, winning the game with a score of 2-0, ending the league's two-game winless streak and winning all three points away from home!

After the game, George and his players did not choose to stay overnight in the port city, but drove back to London from Portsmouth overnight. Because in two days' time, they have a match against Charlton Athletic in the 19th round of the Premier League at White Hart Lane!

There is no winter break, there are three games a week or two games in three days, which is the most iconic part of English football, and it is also the most unbearable for the players.

Of course, in return for the absence of a winter break and a busy schedule, the average income of Premier League clubs and players is a cut above that of the other major leagues. Under the temptation of such a sugar-coated shell, players and coaches have complained about the Premier League's extremely dense schedule without a winter break, but if the resumption of the winter break is really put on the table, most of them will probably vote against it in the first place.

Especially for footballers with a very limited professional lifespan, in order to earn enough for the rest of their lives in just a dozen years, between a mere week of Christmas holidays and high salaries, most players will probably choose the latter without hesitation. Otherwise, why don't they choose to play outside the Premier League, instead complaining and staying in the Premier League?
