Thorpe Arch Training Ground.

On a small pitch on the training ground, Leeds United players and members of the coaching staff are engaged in an alternative football training match.

Peter Schmeichel rolled the ball to Colin McGee, who played at the back, and McGee passed directly to John Sheridan, who was also not too old on the side, and then Sheridan pushed Gravison, who was defending him in a yellow vest, while carrying the ball, and Graveson did not grab it, but followed him on the side.

It wasn't until Sheridan passed the ball to Alf Haaland that Haaland leaned in on Mills behind him and passed the ball to George Lee, who was plugged in.

At this time, the other players didn't mean to defend George Lee anymore, but just watched their head coach go in and slash in.

George Lee then calmly used a pendulum past goalkeeper Scott Carson to push the ball into the empty net.

"Wow~" "Woohoo~"

"Scott, you're too inferior."

Players wearing other colored vests on the field were heckling on the sidelines.

Carson also pretended to be angry, picked the ball out of the goal, and got angry at his teammates.

"You bastards, you don't defend when you see the leader coming, you're really a bunch of sycophants."

"Scott, you can knock your head down."

Carson also laughed, he could have just shot and held the ball, but seeing that it was his own head coach, he thought about it.

“du，dudu~”

Brian Kidd, who was the referee, blew the whistle and then announced the result.

"When the time of the game came, Player B coached the team 3-1 and Player B won. This is followed by Player B against Player C. ”

Then I watched as the coaching team of Lee George, Casper, McGee, Sheridan, Peter Schmeichel, Alf Haaland, and Leiden Baines, who was inexplicably assigned here, began to walk off the field.

Another group of players in red vests got up and started playing.

Smith picked up the red vest and put it on his body, got up and patted the grass on his buttocks, and said loudly.

"Brothers, get rid of Group B and avenge the game you just lost!"

"Come on!" "Hey~" The other players in the red vests responded.

The seven-man small-field game being played within Leeds United was due to the recovery training that took place the next day after the match against Roma.

Because the team played very well in yesterday's game, George Li offered to invite all members of the team to dinner after the afternoon training and eat high-calorie fast food such as pizza, fried chicken, and French fries.

It was a great response from all the players, and in the second half of the season, when the schedule was tight, it was really nice to have an opportunity to relax and improve the cohesion of the team.

So George Lee simply switched the recovery training to a small seven-a-side training match and made a bet that the worst team would pay for the pizza dinner.

As soon as he finished speaking, the players accused the head coach of wanting to escape the order, and he said that he would have a dinner party, but he wanted to hire someone to help him bear the cost of pizza.

Then there was the sudden offer of Leyton Bynes to have George Lee form a team with a coaching staff, so that the team was basically unlikely to win. The proposal was widely agreed upon by the players, with some of the good ones even saying that they wanted to see the manager put on a bicycle performance.

George Lee couldn't resist them, and really led the coaching staff to form a team of 7 people.

Originally, the coaching staff was just seven people, but the elderly Brian Kidd offered to be a referee, and he didn't want to play any games with current players on the field with old arms and legs. So the lack of a coach team forcibly pulled Leighton Baines, who came up with this crooked idea, into this team.

In addition to Edgar Davis and Hart, who are injured, volunteered to be linesmen, there is also Andy Gray, whose wife has given birth to a child and is on leave, is gone.

The rest of the squad was just 21 and were divided into three groups, led by three captains, Smith, Kelly and Edwin van der Sar. Group B, which just won, was led by Kelly, while Group C, which just came on the field, was led by Smith.

George Lee and the members of the coaching staff gasped and sat on the bench on the sidelines, when Team A's Del Vis, wearing a blue vest, handed over a bottle of water to George Lee and sat next to him.

"Boss, it turns out that you don't brag, you are really good at cycling, at least better than me."

"Average." George Li is still relatively thin-skinned.

In the game just now, it was obvious that Team B was not playing seriously, otherwise it would not have been possible to score 3 goals from the coaching team in 15 minutes, so George Li played freely on the field, and really performed fancy work such as pedaling bicycles and croquettes for everyone, and finally scored with a pendulum.

Del Vig watched his head open the water bottle, took two sips of water, and was ready to say something, but did not speak.

George Lee saw what he was thinking and took the initiative to speak.

"Do you want to change your style of play yourself?"

"Yes, I don't feel like I'm as fast as I used to, and I feel like my knees are stiff when I run, and I don't dare to exert myself."

"I listened to the team doctor and I asked Coach McGee about the situation in the morning."

"What do they say?"

"It's not optimistic, after all, the knee and ankle are two places where athletes don't recover easily after two injuries, especially big injuries."

"Yes, sir."

"I know you want to prove yourself in a different way, but I don't like the way you played yesterday. I don't like to stop the ball when I'm on the counter-attack, it affects the effectiveness of the whole team. Or that sticky ball play doesn't survive in the Premier League, you know? ”

"I ......"

"Before I was 20 years old, I had speed, I had skills, and I played all those things with my feet. But after I played a couple of games for Manchester United that weren't very important, I found that as soon as I showed those things, I was brought down and then I was rolling on the ground with my knees and my ankles. ”

Del Vig looked at his manager's leg and knew the reason he was retiring was due to a car accident.

But in fact, before George Li was in the car accident, his legs and feet were also constantly injured, and he basically belonged to the type of glass man.

George Lee continued.

'Do you know why I don't like to play as a midfielder, because I know it's not a good position in the Premier League, it's too tempomatic. One person is grinding, and the whole team is waiting for him to attack. When I got hurt, I was like, if I hadn't pedaled that bike and had just switched past him, I wouldn't have been injured, I might still be on the pitch today, I'm still an active player. ”

"I think it's better for you to be a coach."

"There are some things that others have already suffered, and if you come to tell you again, you must listen to persuasion."

"Coach, what do you want to say?"

'When I was an Academy player, I rode every day to train until one day I got drenched in the rain and fell into a mud puddle, you know the weather in England. That bike stayed with me for a long time, and I rode him every day from Coach Alex Ferguson's house to the Trafford training ground. Then I went and asked my brother, our Mr. President, what could be done. ”

"What do you say, Mr. President?"

"He brought me an Aston Martin the next day and asked me to drive it to training. You know, I wasn't old enough to drive. I remember him telling me that. ”

"What?"

"He had to fall three times before he changed the car, and he wanted me not to try to drive again after the second fall because it hurt every time."

"Mr. President, you seem to be cool."

"Later, I found out that cars are better than bicycles, and they are not afraid of wind and rain, so what more do you need...... Sorry, I'll take the phone...... Hey, you say...... Don't let it in...... Okay, I'll come out for a moment. ”

"What's wrong, boss?"

"Our pizza arrived, but the security guard at the door was too dedicated and said he didn't know who would order so many pizzas, thinking it was someone playing a prank. Let's go, come with me to the gate, let's talk as we go. ”

^^^

In the parking lot, Del Vig held the helmet handed to him by George Lee, a little crying and laughing.

"Boss, didn't you say you don't want a bicycle when you have a car?"

"Don't talk nonsense, get in the car, motorcycles don't get stuck in traffic, you know?"

With that, George Lee started his Vespa scooter.

"Tutu Tu~"

George Lee led Delwig towards the training ground gate.
