The 0304 season has all been completed, and outside Beckham's Cheshire villa, reporters from major British newspapers and paparazzi have set up long guns and short guns.

David Beckham, who plays for Real Madrid, returned to England this week to prepare for Euro 2004 in Portugal. Before reporting to the national team, David Beckham invited some of his England national team team-mates and former club team-mates to a party at his villa. Of course, the party will have some of Victoria's friends in the entertainment industry. So as long as there was a car parked outside the villa, the flashing lights of the reporters' paparazzi never stopped.

"Who would have thought that Porto would have won the Champions League." A reporter kept pressing the shutter and snapping pictures of a car parked in front of the villa, while talking to another reporter next to him.

'Yes, their manager is said to be the manager of Chelsea next season.' The reporter from The Sun replied to the reporter just now, and the camera in his hand was also non-stop, and he didn't want to miss a moment, after all, people who can come to this kind of party are more or less worthy of digging up some news material.

"Is it already decided?" The journalist from the local tabloid in Manchester is clearly not as well-informed as his friends at The Sun.

"It's basically certain. A better team, a higher salary, a bigger transfer budget, what's the reason to say no? ”

"Russians are really rich. How much can they afford to spend this summer? ”

"50 million? 60 million? 80 million? Maybe 100 million is possible. The reporter of the "Sun" said casually.

"Who are those two people who just went in?" The tabloid reporter stopped what he was doing, perhaps thinking that these two people he didn't know weren't worth wasting on film.

"I don't know." The Sun's reporters also stopped.

"It's Chris Casper, and Colin McGee." A reporter from the Yorkshire Post next to them told them the answer.

"In the entertainment industry? It doesn't look like it. "The tabloid reporter thought it was a 18th-line star.

"It's David Beckham's former team-mates, all of them came through the academy at Manchester United, like Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Neville, but they didn't play at Manchester United."

"Oh!" Apparently the tabloid reporters were surprised by the erudition of their peers.

'The two of them will be on the Leeds United coaching staff next season, with McGee said to be Leeds' fitness coach.

'Leeds are such an amazing team, who would have thought they would play like this in the second half of the game and avoid relegation. Journalists from The Sun also began to join the conversation in their conversation.

The topic of Leeds United's relegation success has been as much a favourite conversation among all Premier League fans as the Champions League coach about to become Chelsea manager. On 8 November 2003, Leeds United lost 6-1 at Portsmouth, another newly promoted team, and manager Peter Reid was removed three days later. The original plan was for Eddie Gray to be the head coach of the team, but Eddie Gray recommended another 30-year-old Chinese coach in the team, George Lee, to be the acting head coach.

Miraculously, the young Chinese acting head coach not only led the team to catch up in the second half of the season and successfully relegated from relegation. There was also a lot of matchmaking that allowed Leeds United to be successfully bought by a large Chinese consortium at the end of the season, avoiding the historic club from being taken over by a local consortium led by bankruptcy experts.

"Why hasn't that amazing acting head coach shown up today?" The tone of the reporter from the homegrown tabloid in Manchester was a little unnatural.

Because with the perfect performance in the second half of last season, the experience of this magical acting Chinese head coach George Li has also been exposed by major media. In fact, George Lee, like Chris Casper and Colin McGee, also came from Manchester United's academy and was once hailed as the darling of Carrington's training base. It's just that he didn't play for Manchester United because of a major injury in the youth team, and he moved to Leeds United in '96, and then moved to Ajax after two seasons. After retiring early before the age of 30 due to injury, he started at Ajax and started a new coaching career at Leeds United after two years as a coach.

In an interview with Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, the old man said: "If it weren't for that damn tackle, I would have had a talent comparable to Paul Gascoigne." ”

Later, through the unremitting efforts of the paparazzi, it became known that the other protagonist of that so-called "damn tackle" was none other than the owner of today's party, David Beckham.

"It seems like we've already arrived, earlier than us reporters." A reporter from the Yorkshire Post said, "One of the waiters inside is a friend of mine, and he just sent me a message telling me that George Lee had been here very early. ”

"Hey, long time no see, both." Beckham, who was greeting the guests at the door of the villa, opened his hands and hugged the two old teammates after seeing the two old friends.

"Hello Chris, hello Colin." Victoria listened to Beckham's introduction and got to know the two of his husband's former team-mates as the two Leeds coaching staff members got out of the car.

"Hello, Victoria." "Hello, Victoria. ”

After exchanging greetings, Casper and McGee walked into Beckham's villa. When they saw their head coach holding his wine glass and chatting with a black beauty, they didn't walk over to the garden kids.

In the garden, a tall man holds David Beckham's 2-year-old second son, Romeo, in one hand and a lot of balloons in the other, where he distributes balloons to a group of bear children.

"Here's for you, Carl." "Brooklyn, this red one for you." "Are there any children who haven't gotten it?" "Sean, are you sure you don't want one? ”

"Oh, Peter!" McGee joked at the tall man, "You don't have to retire at all, you can put Paul Robinson on on the bench." ”

Paul Robinson is Leeds United's current first-choice goalkeeper.

"Yes, you can save 100 footballs. If we didn't have a transfer budget, we could have cashed Paul out for millions of pounds. Casper joined in.

"OK, let's go play, kids." The tall man finished sending away a group of bear children and walked towards the two Leeds coaches with Romeo in his arms.

Peter Schmeichel, who retired from Manchester City last year and took a year off after retiring from football, was invited by George Lee to join Leeds United's coaching staff as goalkeeper coach.

"But actually, we're not short of money." Schmeichel said to Casper.

'Yes, if it weren't for our poor results last year and no big names wanted to come to us, we could have written cheques in the transfer market like Chelsea.' McGee added.

"So what George said, we can't spend money until we win the European Championship."

"Without champions, there are no stars; There are no stars, and there are no champions. ”

"Didn't this year's Porto prove that you can win the championship without big names?" Casper interjected.

"That's not what you, a strength and conditioning coach, should worry about, Colin." Schmeichel told McGee, "You have to think about how you can get the players the fitness they need to meet George's tactical needs. ”

"George is there, what are you talking to that black beauty?" McGee quickly pulled away from the topic.

"It's like rapping or something." Schmeichel arrived a little early, after all.

"Damn, if George were going to sing tonight."

"Let's get drunk and faint first."

George Lee's incomplete pentatonic tone was something that all United team-mates feared at the time.

"I'd rather face the old man's hair dryer all night than listen to George sing a song." Casper saw George Lee and the black beauty clinking glasses, and also picked up a glass of wine and walked over to George Lee.
