Chapter Ninety-Six: Broken Love, Hot Love!

After returning to Leeds from London, the Leeds United team was extremely happy, and everyone was surprised by Simon? Grayson took two days off, which was an unprecedented blessing for the Leeds United players, but it happened after the Young Guards had gone through the devilish schedule of the 'Gunners', 'Reds' and 'Blues' and picked up four points from three games.

That night, Zach? Thompson received a call from Melissa from New York, which made him very excited, since Melissa went to the United States, she had only called twice in the past 20 days, Zach? Thompson called six or seven times, but Melissa either hung up after saying a few words, or simply didn't answer.

"Merry, I miss you!"

Zack? Thompson picked up the phone and began to tell that he missed it, and that Melissa was not by his side, so he didn't even know how to arrange the two-day vacation tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

"Shaq, I miss you too! It's just that...... You know, I'm really busy right now, I have to do a lot of professional training every day, I have to meet a lot of producers, and I'm really tired. But congratulations, it's exciting to beat Chelsea away from home and I think you're already heroes with Jonny, Ben and Carlos! ”

Melissa's family are all Leeds United fans, and although she no longer has time to cheer on the team at Elland Road, she is still more concerned about the recent situation of the "Young Guards", at least she can learn about it through her mobile phone.

Zack? Thompson listened proudly: "Ha, Merry, this is nothing, I just want to be your hero!" There is an idiom in China called 'heroes save beauty', and I, a hero, only want to save you, a beauty! ”

"Shaq, thank you!"

"Merry, when are you coming back?"

"Shaq, I'...... Well, I think I'm going to be here for a while, I've got some contracts from designers to train here and there are a couple of big outfits to do, so ...... Maybe it will take half a year or even a year. ”

"So long?"

Listened to Melissa, Zach? Thompson was stunned, he originally thought that Melissa went to the United States to develop a modeling career just for fun, but he didn't expect that it had only been less than a month, and she seemed to have developed very well over there.

"Yes, Shaq, I'm just starting out in my career, and I need to be based here in New York, and it's not for a short time, so ...... Shaq, let's break up. ”

Melissa's tone was flat, listen to Zack? Thompson's ears were like thunder on the ground, Melissa was his first love, and he also enjoyed the sweetness of the two of them together, and even he felt that Melissa was already his only relative in this world, Zack? Thompson has no parents, his parents have never been there when he was in China, and there is only Melissa in this world except football.

But now...... Melissa is breaking up with me!?

No way!

In his previous life, Lao Tzu was a [***] silk who didn't even have a girlfriend, but I didn't expect that my career would develop well after being reborn and moving my soul, and this love and myself seem to be 100,000 light years away!

Zack? Thompson held the phone for a long time and didn't say anything, and Melissa also left him time to think over there, silently waiting for Zack? Thompson spoke.

"Whew-"

Zack? Thompson let out a long breath, "Okay, Merry, I respect your choice!" Home...... And your things, I'll pack them up and send them to your parents' house, right? ”

"Yes, good!"

Zack? Thompson could feel his heart broken, that feeling...... It seems that the whole person's soul has been torn apart, but the last little bit of humble self-esteem in his life made him say the last sentence flatly: "Okay, so be it." ”

"Smack!"

Zack? Thompson closed the mobile phone in his hand, and his big hand clenched the phone tightly, and the good quality Samsung mobile phone was clutched by him and made a slight "rattling" sound.

"Ahh

Vacant land -

Zack? Thompson let out a roar and threw the mobile phone in his hand on the floor, shattering the display screen and electronic components.

"I**! No way! The dog's ............"

Zack? Thompson burst out a string of Chinese national curses at the empty room, and his angular face was also extremely hideous!

Although now Zach? Thompson was already nineteen years old, but his mind was younger than his actual age, and he never had a chance to experience love, a noble thing that seemed childish but pure in China, until Melissa came into his life.

Two lives as a human being, and finally through the soreness of first love!

**After a pass, Zach? Thompson calmed down a bit, and there was only one feeling in his heart............ I want to drink!

Zack? Thompson can't remember which song said that the most effective drug for treating labor pains after a broken love is alcohol, but he now thinks it makes too much sense!

It's simply the truth!

If you want to drink, you can't drink alone, Zach? Thompson immediately thought of his good brother Jonny? Hausen and Ben? Parker, glanced at the shattered phone, Zach? Thompson grabbed the landline at home and called it out, and now he thinks Zach? Thompson, a half-otaku, is really reliable, in modern England, he still keeps a landline and a tape recorder, just to wait for those water, electricity and gas arrears notices, really...... Wonderful!

Jonny...... It's me, come out and drink with me, and you drive to pick me up...... Go to **girlfriend, Lao Tzu fell out of love, Lao Tzu just broke up with his girlfriend...... Okay, I'll wait for you...... I'm going to call Ben now! ”

It's one o'clock in the morning, Jonny? Hausen was sleeping with his girlfriend at this time, and when he heard Zach? Thompson fell out of love and immediately agreed without a word.

After putting down the phone, Zach? Thompson gave Ben again? Parker called, this good boy has a girlfriend, but he lives at home, and he promised to come over as soon as he received the call.

Johnny? Hausen, Ben? Parker, this guy vs. Zack? Thompson's situation is very well understood, they all know that this little brother has unfortunately lost all his relatives, Melissa is almost all his dependence, don't look at his image as a tough guy on the court, but in fact, his spiritual world is still very fragile, especially in terms of feelings, so when they know Zach? Thompson actually fell out of love and immediately became worried, Zach? Thompson doesn't say that he just wants to drink, even if he wants to take drugs and beat people, the two of them will follow.

Who made them the "Leeds Three", not only on the football field, but also in life they are also a small group!

Johnny? Hausen, Ben? Parker's two boys have been obsessed with Porsche recently, one got a sports car and the other got an SUV, and there were no cars in Leeds City in the early morning, and the two boys drove the car very fast, and the "Leeds Three Musketeers" got together after thirty minutes, and then sat Jonny together? The Hausen SUV drove to Leeds' most famous nightclub............

When the "Leeds Three" collectively went to a nightclub to get drunk, Simon? Grayson, however, had a meeting with the coaching staff after returning from London, and then went to Ken? Bates in the chairman's office at Thorpe Arch Training Base.

In the office, Simon? Grayson met two people, one was the miserly old man Ken with silver hair? Bates, the other is a tall, handsome, deep-eyed middle-aged man, a former German legend...... Oliver? Bierhoff!

"Hello Mr. President! Hello Oliver! ”

Simon? Grayson took the initiative to greet the two as soon as he entered, Ken? Bates is still the club's president, while Bierhoff is the future owner, and although his coaching record is good enough, it is better to have a lower stance against those who control their own destiny.

Willing? Bates and Bierhoff were sipping red wine, both with smiles on their faces, and it was clear that the change of ownership was going well.

"Simon, come, I'll introduce you to ......"

Simon? Grayson laughed and said, "Mr. President, I will not be unfamiliar with Oliver of the German team!" Euro '96 was the greatest comeback I've seen so far! Oliver, you're my idol! ”

"Hahahaha, Simon, thank you for the compliment!"

Bierhoff laughed happily and knew that his best moment was the Euro 96 final against the Czech Republic, when he came off the bench and scored two goals to help Germany come from one goal behind to become the king of Europe, which is also his pride, and it is worth being remembered for being remembered.

Wait for Simon? After Grayson sat down, Ken? Bates poured him a glass of red wine and brought it over, while Bierhoff smiled and lit a cigar for him.

"Simon, the deal between me and Oliver has been completed and now the club is in liquidation, and I will leave when that is done. But Oliver says he can get all the work done in the winter move, and after watching our away win over Chelsea today, he said he had to meet you and have a good talk with you. ”

Bierhoff to Simon? Grayson smiled and nodded: "Simon, today's game is really exciting, it is a classic battle of our Leeds United defeat our mortal enemy, I am sure that the fans will remember it for a long time to come!" My good friend Summerer was there to watch the game and he spoke very highly of your coaching ability! ”

"Oh!?"

Simon? Grayson looked at Bierhoff in surprise, isn't it rumored that Samer is the candidate to replace him, and now Bierhoff has obviously sent goodwill to himself...... What's going on?

Bierhoff laughed and said, "Simon, you've probably heard that Summerer will replace you as the head coach of the team, right?" ”

"Well, I heard that."

Bierhoff said it very bluntly, Simon? Grayson didn't shy away from it, either.

Bierhoff nodded and said: "Simon, I can tell you that this is not a rumor, we did consider replacing you with Summer, but after our investigation, my team and I unanimously decided that you are the best person to lead this team, Madias made a report to evaluate you, he gave you the highest evaluation, he said that your control of the team is unique, and this team can only move towards a better future under your leadership!" So...... Simon, now you can rest assured that you will continue to be the manager of Leeds United until we have fulfilled your existing contract and we will see how it goes, how about it? ”

"No problem!"

Simon? Grayson has a smile on his face, he still has three and a half years left on his contract with the club, which is not too short.

Bierhoff laughed and said, "Well, let's talk about the future of the team!" Well, Simon, you know, we bought the team, but I think I'll have to talk to you about the specifics in detail, to be precise, we don't have the backing of a consortium, in fact, my team and I are just backed by a venture capital firm, with a total investment of 200 million pounds, and we spent 120 million pounds to buy the team. However, Simon, you can rest assured that although we will not invest the remaining £80 million all at once, but when the winter transfer comes, I will prepare you with 30 million pounds of transfer funds to strengthen the team, and the other is that we will follow the tradition of English football, the transfer rights are still in your hands, you can choose to buy players within the scope of the funds, and my team and I will bring people back to you after evaluation. And I guarantee that the transfer of the club will be completed before the winter transfer period, and all the work will not be affected. How's that, Simon, are you happy with this arrangement? ”

After listening to Bierhoff's words, Simon? Grayson's eyes lit up, he is a professional in the football circle, and naturally knows that it is very risky to buy Leeds United with venture capital like Bierhoff, but even in this case, the German is willing to provide him with 30 million pounds as transfer funds in the winter transfer, which is really unexpected.

"Yes, I'm satisfied! Mr. Oliver, I will try to lead the team to good results! Of course, you don't want me to win the trophy, do you!? ”

"Hahaha, of course not, that's not realistic for Leeds United right now, like you said, the top six! Qualification for next season's Europa League! What do you think? ”

"No problem!"

"Well, Simon, I wish us a great time together!"

"Happy working together!"

Simon? Grayson and Bierhoff raised their goblets together, and the two glasses made a "ding" sound when they touched each other, which signaled that the head coach and future chairman of the "Young Guard" was about to start a new love affair at this time.

Willing? Bates just smiled and watched all this, he bought Leeds United for only 10 million pounds eight years ago, and now he has sold 120 million pounds, although he invested some money in the middle, but the huge profit still makes the miserly old man feel satisfied.

But Ken? Bates believes that with the shrewdness of the Germans, Bierhoff and his team did not make a loss-making deal, but fully calculated the value of Leeds United Football Club, which is now more than 80 million pounds in terms of the value of Leeds United's players, and considering the club's healthy financial situation, Thorpe Arch Training Base, Elland Road Stadium, etc., etc., the Germans spent 120 million to buy Leeds United is really not expensive.
