0013 Braveheart

"What's written on it?" Jordi casually asked George Lee, who was looking at the text of the notice on the wall.

Today is the second day of the friendly match with Queen's Park, George Lee gave the team a half-day off after the team's morning training, and he himself walked casually through the streets of Glasgow with Cruyff Jr.

Yesterday's game, Leeds United is still a 6-1 victory over Queen's Park, 7 goals were scored by Leeds United players, the only goal conceded was after the opponent's corner kick, Leeds goalkeeper Paul Robinson attacked, did not see the ball rubbed by the teammate in front of him, suddenly disguised behind him, he reached out to fish back when it was too late, and the ghost got the ball into the goal.

Several players who had just returned from the European Championship were all on the sidelines, with Glen Schal netting Leeds' final goal.

"It seems to be an introduction to William Wallace."

"That Scottish national hero?"

"Yes, it's about Wallace being caught by the English at Rob Easton, Glasgow, and then crushed to London."

"Didn't he go to the peace talks because he agreed, and then he was caught in a trap?"

"You're in the movie, do you still have a story with the prince and princess in the movie?"

"Yes, yes, Mel Gibson's film, 'Braveheart.'"

Cruyff Jr. apparently knows most of Wallace from movies.

"Wallace is best known for his ability to defeat the strong with the weak, leading his group of robbers and rabble to defeat the elite troops of England repeatedly."

"Are you thinking about our new season?"

In the face of Cruyff Jr.'s question, George Lee did not answer.

"The Ambush of Mount Rodun, the Battle of Lanark, the Battle of Lake Doggat, the Capture of Danotta Castle......" George Lee kept reading the words of the billboard.

"He's such a great character." Little Cruyff listened and sighed.

"I heard that in the Stirling area, there is also a William Wallace monument, which seems to be not far from Glasgow, so I knew there to see it."

"I don't have a chance today, the training camp in Scotland is over in a few days, you can go and see it."

"No, let's bring Sean with me next time. This kid has always said that he wants to play for Scotland when he grows up, and he hasn't been in Scotland for a few days. ”

"He's a poor kid too, and it's good to have met your family, otherwise ......"

"What is the reason for Wallace's ultimate defeat, you say?" George Lee looked at the sign and asked Cruyff Jr.

"Generally, the failure of this kind of uprising is nothing more than inexperience, inferior equipment, and quick success."

"His starting point is too high, for the sake of freedom, for the sake of Scotland, he can't go back. He didn't have a good foundation, he could only win every battle, not lose, and once he lost, he would never recover. ”

"George, actually, ......" Cruyff Jr. knew what Lee was trying to say.

George Lee is only in his early 30s this year, but he is already the head coach of a Premier League team, his previous coaching career can almost be said to be a blank, and his previous assistant coaching career in Ajax and Leeds United was not long.

"Have you seen the schedule for the new season?" George Lee changed the subject.

"Look, you mean ......"

'That's right, our first game was on Elland Road, against Arsenal. George Lee said.

"Yes, the FA really gives us face."

'Thierry Henry, Bergkamp, Pire, Ljungberg and Patrick Vieira, can we withstand the attack?'

George Lee is mainly worried about the first game of the new season, and if he prepares for a summer and ends up with a heavy defeat at home, it will be a disaster.

Little Cruyff couldn't think of any way to comfort him for a moment.

"Remember what ifs I said in my meeting two days ago?" George Lee saw that Cruyff Jr. didn't say anything, so he asked him.

"Then why do you only use the explanations of the British, Dutch, and Nordic players?"

"Yes, I think there are no big clubs in Northern Europe or the Netherlands other than their own players..... Hey, don't look at me like that, Jordi."

"You played there, I came out there...... George, don't overdo it. Little Cruyff glared at him.

"The Bosman Act has hurt Ajax too much, Jordi, you know that."

"yes." Little Cruyff also sighed.

"I went on to say that I want the Dutch and Nordic players to have more belonging in my team, at least they will not be poached by the Spanish and Italian teams."

"That's right, it's relatively easy for England to go back home, isn't it?"

"Is that why you went to Manchester United in the first place?"

"No, I went for Sir Alex Ferguson, whose charisma fascinated me...... Hehe. Little Cruyff himself couldn't say any more.

"The other day, when I was talking to Coach Martin, he told me a piece of Celtic's history. George Lee said.

"Oh?"

He said that when Celtic won the Champions League, almost all of their players and coaches were born within 10 miles of Celtic Park, and the furthest was only 30 miles. George Lee said.

"Wow, that's amazing."

"I can see that Coach Martin was very proud when he said it, although he was not the one who won the championship."

"He's not bad, that year's Europa League, just a little bit."

"Jordi, did you think the Celtics would ever happen?" George Lee asked Cruyff Jr.

"No, the current development trend of football, a large number of excellent players from other countries have poured into the Premier League, and then a large number of foreign capital will enter the Premier League, and the competition in the Premier League will be more intense."

"So, the Celtic thing won't happen again, right?"

"Yes, unless you have 11 boys of your own and let them play for Leeds, it has to be consecutive, otherwise your first child will retire when you reach the age of the last one." Cruyff Jr. joked.

"Don't be, none of those three bunnies are going to play for England in the future."

"It's a good thing for a child to have an opinion, you see that I don't have a chance, otherwise I can only live in the shadow of my father for the rest of my life."

"You don't look like a Surinamese, Jordi."

Many people in the Dutch team are of Surinamese descent, like Davies, Gullit and so on. And George Lee means that Cruyff Jr. can choose to represent Suriname if he doesn't want to live in the shadow of his father.

Cruyff Jr. said to George Lee: "George, you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself, it's not William Wallace that you should be looking at. ”

"Oh, why?"

"His soldiers are old aristocrats, rabble, and you're not, you have good players, you're backed by two big conglomerates, England and the Netherlands, you just have to work your way up and lead Leeds on the right path."

"Hehe, when you say that, I think my coaching staff is a drag." George Lee in turn made a joke about Cruyff Jr.

"I'll go back and tell Chris that we can't do this to you, but Brian won't let you go." Cruyff Jr. immediately threatened.

"No, I'll ask you to drink, whiskey on rocks, authentic Scotch whisky."

"Isn't it possible that I drink whisky in Scotland and still drink imports?"

"Let's go, let's go now." George Lee pulled little Cruyff and prepared to walk forward.

"Wait a minute, George." Cruyff Jr. stopped Lee and began to say to George Lee very seriously, "You shouldn't look at William Wallace, you should look at King Arthur." ”

"Why?"

"Because you have a high starting point, and the members of our coaching staff will always help you to get to the throne like a knight of the round table."

The sudden affection of "......" little Cruyff made George Li speechless all of a sudden.

"You just have to learn one thing from William Wallace."

"What?" George Li asked curiously.

"Have a brave heart."
