0054 Departure of departure
"Coach Li, you have achieved the 5th place in the league this season, compared with the relegation success last season, you have improved significantly, is there any secret?"
"Then I can't say, otherwise in the future, other teams will learn, and we will be relegated again."
Can you say that? I can't say it.
I've crossed over, and I know which players can play and which ones can't.
The owner of the club is my brother, and I can buy whoever I want.
I tell you, when the time comes, Scotland will have to fight for independence, and Britain will leave the European Union, believe it or not.
Then another reporter started asking questions.
"Coach, you're going to play in the League Cup next season, is there anything we need to strengthen in the squad?"
'First of all, it's definitely a goalkeeper because as you know, our main goalkeeper, Paul Robinson, is going to move to Manchester United next season, so we need an experienced goalkeeper.
"Do you have a specific goal?"
Although it is rumored that Leeds United are going to bring in Dutch goalkeeper Van der Sar, the reporter still wants to listen to what Li Mouth says.
Li didn't talk nonsense with them, and told them directly.
'Fulham's goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has always been a player I admire and I hope he can be in my squad next season.'
"What about the other positions, are there any candidates?"
"We still need to look into this. Okay, one last question. ”
Li gave the last question to the reporter of the "Post", after all, it is a local person, and this preferential treatment is still necessary.
"Excuse me, who would you most like to play against in the UEFA Cup next season?"
"Serbia."
Without thinking, Lee blurted out, and then got up and left.
^^^
Lee returned to the dressing room and saw that everyone in the team was packing up their stuff, and there was no excitement at the end of the season, after all, they only finished fifth in the league and had a chance to hit the top four, but the final stage of the team lost that opportunity.
"Why don't you celebrate when the season is over?"
Lee asked several of the team's captains.
"I don't know what you're in the mood for, after all, you've only finished fifth." Smith whispered.
"Hehe, you've done a good job this season." Lee shrugged.
"Woohoo~" "Wow~"
"Quick, get out the champagne you've hidden." Smith jumped up when he heard Lee say this.
"Robin, where are you hiding the?" This was said by Kelly.
"I'm sure I'm going to let it go, what if the coach doesn't agree and gets discovered?"
At this time, Baines saw Van Persie open his cupboard, and sure enough, the champagne was hidden in his cupboard, and Baines was the one who took a shower and cleaned up his things first.
Seeing that they were so happy, Lee opened a few bottles of champagne and began to spray them and began to drink them separately.
At this time, Li applauded, attracted everyone's attention, and then said loudly.
"Everyone, everyone. Drink a little less, after all, this is the home of Bolton, you should be a little more restrained. ”
As a result, Li just finished speaking, this group of people is even more hilarious, there is nothing more enjoyable than spreading wild on other people's territory, and you can't help it.
"Everyone, everyone."
Lee raised his voice again and said to the players.
"Our boss wanted to come here to give everyone a bonus, but he didn't think that was enough...... Alain, don't spray me with wine......"
Smith had just opened another bottle of wine and sprayed it at Lee.
"The best nightclub in Manchester, the owner has already booked it, everyone goes, the boss pays, the bonus is sent there, and the cash ...... Ah~"
As soon as Li finished speaking, all the champagne began to spray towards Li.
"Long live the boss~" "Wow~"
Lee began to escape the locker room, followed by Brian Kidd and Jordi Cruyff. Chris Casper and the others continued to celebrate with the players.
"Why did you come out too, Brian is old, and you are too old?"
Lee asked Cruyff Jr.
"He's here to say goodbye to you, George." Did Kidd say what he wanted to say for Cruyff?
"Where are you going?" Lee asked Cruyff Jr. in surprise.
There are so many people on the coaching staff, and Lee feels that Cruyff Jr. is the one he talks about the most. Although he grew up with Casper and McGee in Manchester United's youth academy since childhood, Cruyff Jr. can be regarded as Lee's bosom friend in terms of coaching concepts and tactical understanding. Sometimes Lee just saw something in the game, and Cruyff Jr. was able to spot the problem right away.
Now that Cruyff Jr. is suddenly leaving, Lee must be reluctant.
Little Cruyff also scratched his head and spoke embarrassedly.
"A Dutch club called Wollewiecls invited me to come back as the team's manager and player."
"Working two jobs?"
Although Li was reluctant, Li knew that Cruyff Jr. would definitely not stay here for a long time to help him, but Li did not expect that this day would come so soon.
'You know, I want to be a manager. However, I don't want my starting point to be too high because I ......"
Lee patted little Cruyff, he knew that little Cruyff had carried too many things in his life, and his father's name would always weigh on his head, and he couldn't breathe.
"In the summer, I will choose to take the team to the Netherlands for training, how about playing a friendly match with your club, and the training camp will be arranged for you."
"Okay."
Lee held out his right hand, while Cruyff Jr. also extended his right hand, and the two held tightly together.
"George, how's it going, are you ready to go?"
At this time, the team's general manager, Tony Wilson, appeared at the end of the hallway, saw the three people at the door, and began to say hello.
Wilson had come to pick up the team and go to the bar to celebrate, and the team's owner, Michael Lee, had already left for the bar first.
"They're still inside." Lee said to Wilson.
"Why don't you leave, the season is over, do you still have a meeting?"
"I advise you not to go in now."
"Why?"
Wilson had already opened the door and was ready to go in and call the players to go.
“FXXK! My suit, don't spill me with your wine, Chris ......"
Lee and Kidd and Cruyff Jr. covered their mouths and laughed at the door.
^^^
After the team finished the game with Bolton Wanderers in Manchester, they went to the pub to celebrate the end of the season, where the team owner Michael Lee gave bonuses to the players and coaches of the team, bundles of pounds directly to the players, the players were excited, a busy and fulfilling season was over, there was no European Championship this summer, no World Cup, the players could relax.
The next morning, the players slept like dead pigs, and in the afternoon, they took the bus back to Leeds City, and after interacting with some of the fans who came to greet them, the team went to the Leeds City pub again, but this time the payer became George Lee, after all, there was a previous promise to the players to invite them to a nightclub, but it didn't work. The season is over, and Lee has fulfilled them once.
The team made an appointment to gather at the training ground at 2 p.m. on the third day, and then the holiday began.
However, before two o'clock, someone had already appeared in Lee's office.
First up came the team's goalkeeper, Paul Robinson.
His injury has not yet healed, and it is estimated that he will not be able to go far this summer, and he will continue to be out for a period of time at the beginning of next season, but this is not under Lee's control, and it is something that Ferguson needs to worry about.
Robinson came to say goodbye to Lee, because Lee had been teammates with him before, and he became his head coach again this season, and the relationship between the two was not bad, but next season they would be rivals, and they would be rivals.
Lee also used his own experience to comfort Robinson, who was also a member of Manchester United before coming to Leeds United and becoming the Leeds United coach. He told Robinson to perform well after going to Manchester United and not to lose the face of Leeds United's academy.
Next came the team's captain, centre-back Dominic Matteo.
Matteo has not played a few games this season due to injury, and after he returned from injury, he found that the team's central defender position had been taken by Mathieson and Albuchesen, and he could only be Lee's third choice in the central defender position.
At the beginning of Liverpool, it was because the then Liverpool manager Houllier reformed the team's backline and successfully formed the defensive combination of Carragher-Hyyypia-Henkuts-Babel, and Matteo had to leave his favorite Liverpool for the main position and came to Leeds United.
At Leeds he captained Leeds United alongside Rio Ferdinand and Lucas Radbe, but now he finds himself out of the starting role at Leeds United, with Matthijon and Albucheson playing consistently, and Kilgallen and Dawson needing to play as they grow, so he opted to leave once again.
Rather than opt to renew his contract with Leeds United, Mateo decided to sign Blackburn.
If it weren't for the addition of Edwin van der Sar, Lee would probably have to go to the transfer market to find an experienced main defender to lead Leeds United's young backline.
Mills, Albucheson, Matthison, and Bynes are all young people who sometimes lack a qualified leader. Ian Hart's place is also gradually being replaced by Baines, but Hart has a good mentality and is willing to stay at Leeds United, because Leeds United will have to play on multiple fronts next season, so there is no shortage of opportunities.
As soon as Li finished talking to Mateo and sent him to the door, he saw another member of the team, Eric Barker.
As soon as Lee saw this frame, he knew that Buck also wanted to leave.
The season has just ended, and not counting Buck, Lee has already sent away four Leeds United.
In addition to Cruyff Jr., Robinson and Matteo, the coach of the reserve team Lucas Radebe also submitted his resignation to Lee and general manager Wilson just this morning, Radebe does not want to take up the position of football coach anymore, he wants to return to his native Africa and contribute to charity and football in Africa.
Known in European football for his passion for philanthropy, Radebay grew up as a teenager at one of the height of the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa's history, and the poverty of his hometown deeply affected his upbringing. Since moving to Leeds United, Radebe has been actively involved in education and training programmes and promoting anti-racism to address community issues in Leeds. In 2001, Radebay participated in a book campaign that used football to successfully inspire 12,000 people of all ages to read 500,000 books. In 2000, he was awarded the International League of Nations Fair Play Award for his outstanding performance in public service in his hometown.
Wilson also approved Radebey's resignation report and offered to help Radebey's philanthropic efforts in Africa, which was also unanimously endorsed by George Lee and Michael Lee.
But Buck's arrival was completely unexpected by Lee.
"Boss, I want to transfer."
Buck was very direct and pitched his idea with Lee.
This season, Buck was the first choice to come off the bench behind Davis and Gavison, and in Davis' absence, Buck was the obvious choice to replace them. However, Lee bought De Jong from Ajax in the winter window, and Buck was ranked behind De Jong in terms of playing order, and at the end of the season, Gravison was injured, and it was also De Jong's starter Buck continued to substitute. So Buck got the idea of running away.
"Eric, I really don't want to think about it, next season we will play on multiple fronts, and Edgar is getting older, maybe a season or two......"
"Boss, I'm getting older, is it really until Edgar can't play anymore before I can compete with Nigel for the main position? I was in my thirties at the time. ”
"I ......"
Originally, Lee wanted to persuade him again, but when he thought about Davis's state, maybe after a season or two, he would still be able to run better than the youngsters.
And, as in the case of Mateo, there is room for young players in midfield to grow.
Lee had no choice but to let Buck go.
"Okay, I approve your transfer request. Let's go to the conference room. ”
Li looked at the time, and at this time the players should have arrived, waiting for Li to announce the holiday.
