Elland Road Stadium, Leeds City.

Leeds United's UEFA Cup quarter-final at home to Basel reached the 75th minute of the second half.

On the scoreboard on the sidelines, it was written 3-0, with the home team in front.

A substitution was underway at this time, with Leeds bringing on Morten Pedersen for Alan Smith, who was a great performer today.

Smith had just gone to hand Van der Sar the captain's armband and walked off the pitch to the applause of the crowd.

In the last game against Manchester City, Smith did not play because of the red card, so he broke out in this game.

The continuous external media opinion did not knock down the young Leeds United new captain, but made him more mature.

Today he replied to all the questions with three goals.

After hugging the head coach, Smith returned to the bench and high-fived his teammates one by one.

With Leeds now leading 5-0 on aggregate and less than 20 minutes to go, it can be said that Basel has no chance of turning the tables around.

George Lee also sat back in his seat and began to wait for the game to end.

At this time, Chris Casper, who was on the side, handed over the computer to the assistant and began to come over and sit next to George Lee, and whispered to Lee.

"You had to take us to Southampton the day before yesterday, did you really go to see that Gareth Bale?"

"That's right." George Lee replied.

Of course, it's to see Bell, who else can I see. Theo Walcott has already bought Arsenal for £5 million plus add-ons in the January Cup, and it is said that it could be up to 12 million pounds.

"Are you sure it's really him?"

"What the hell are you trying to say?" George Lee was asked by him.

"I don't think that kid is a good fit for us, really."

"Why?" George Lee was very curious, not to mention that he knew Bale's future achievements, not to mention that he took them to see the game that Bale would play later, which was also Bale's professional debut, why did Casper decide that Bale was not suitable for Leeds United.

"Do you think he looks like an animal? I don't know if you have read a book about the mythology of the East, which talks about a very powerful monkey with a stick, and more than 100,000 people can't beat him. ”

“......”

"You first took us to look at Ben Thatcher, Joey Barton, and Newcastle, who didn't play, but I don't think it's a good deal from your point of view...... No, good-tempered players, plus that weird-looking kid from Southampton. ”

“......”

"As a good friend of yours, I just told you that, if you really have a violent ...... If you have that tendency, I can refer you to a psychiatrist, recommended by my friend. ”

"Get out!"

"You really don't have to ......," Casper asked again.

"Get out!"

Casper walked away, and then Brian Kidd came to George Lee and started talking to him.

"What did Chris tell you?"

"Something outside of the game, a little thing." George Li is really afraid of Casper's big mouth and going around talking nonsense.

"I thought he was telling you about the players on the field."

"Which one?"

"Well, that's the one that just came up."

Kidd pointed to the No. 17 who had just come on Basel.

George Lee took a closer look at the player, the name on the number 17, "RAKITIC".

That's right, it's really Rakitic, who is still young, and he has just replaced Japanese midfielder Koji Nakata.

"See what?" Lee George asked Kidd.

'The physical condition should be good, and judging by his few passes, the ability to read the game is good.

As soon as he finished speaking, Rakitic showed his other side, breaking through the door of the Van der Sar handle with a long-range shot in front of the penalty area.

Rakitic did not celebrate after the goal, but ran back with the football in the goal.

The next day, just as the Leeds United team was basking in the joy of reaching the last four of the League Cup, George Lee got very bad news in his office in the afternoon.

George Lee received a call from Stuart Gray, the current head coach of the reserve team, and immediately rushed downstairs to the reserve team's playing field.

"What about people?" As soon as Lee arrived, he asked Stuart Gray.

"I was sent directly to the hospital, and the team doctor looked like the old place, and I was sent directly to the hospital."

"You continue to direct the game, I'll go to the hospital." After saying that, he left immediately.

Stuart Gray stayed on to direct Leeds United's reserves and Nottingham Forest's reserves.

On the way to the hospital, George Lee called the team's doctor and the team's youth director, Frank Gray, who was watching the game at the time, and finally figured out what happened.

Delwig was injured again and was often seconded to the reserve squad to play for the reserve team because of the lack of first-team opportunities.

Then, not long after Delvig came on in the second half, he fell to the ground because of a foul by his opponent. Then he fell to the ground clutching his knees.

George Lee went straight to the hospital in Leeds.

When he arrived at the ward, he found that Derwig was not in the ward, only the Norwegian brother who accompanied Dervig, Jan Arnessen, who was also playing in the reserve team, was waiting.

"Where's Ness?" George Lee asked Arneson.

"I'm going to get some other tests."

"What do you say about the previous results?"

"Cruciate ligament tear."

Lee George was stunned, a torn cruciate ligament is one of the biggest injuries to an athlete, not to mention that Delwig is already the second time.

George Lee couldn't help but feel sorry for De Villech, thinking that when he was in Norway, he saw the talented young player Jan Arneson by chance, and then wanted to bring in Arneson with a try-and-see attitude, and when he went directly to talk to the club, Spartan Sappsburg recommended Delwig to him.

Although Leeds United was a relegation team in the Premier League at the time, it was certainly not a level compared to a small Norwegian team like Sparta-Sappersburg.

Therefore, Spartan Sappsburg are happy to have their player selected by Leeds United so that they can at least get a transfer fee. Although that money is not worth much to Leeds United and George Lee, it is a lot of money for Spartan Soupsburg and can be used to improve a lot of things in the club.

Later, Delvig and Arneson came to Leeds United together, and both of them were unfamiliar with each other, so they lived and trained together, but Delvig was in the reserve team and Arneson was in the youth team. It didn't take long for Derwig to be transferred to the first team and he was given some appearances and impressive performances.

It's just that after Christmas last season, Del Vig suffered a torn cruciate ligament in a game against Manchester City and was out for the season.

After more than half a year of recovery, Delwig made a comeback, and after the comeback, Delwig's proud speed was gone, and he even wanted to change his style of play, and was educated by Lee.

George Lee recalls the scenes from Del Wish.

I thought of Delwig's last-minute goal against Manchester City.

I remembered that Delwig used his speed to eat the opposing full-backs in the game against Arsenal.

I remembered the crappy bicycle that Delwig had stepped on in the race against Roma.

I remembered Delwig sitting on the back of his little scooter, holding a pizza and pretending to be a delivery man.

......

"Knock knock~"

There was a knock on the door to the ward.

George Lee quickly looked up, thinking that Del Vig had returned from checking.

It turned out to be a man in a suit with a player from Nottingham Forest.

As soon as he came in, the man in the suit grabbed George Lee's hand.

"George, apologize."

George Li was stunned, why did he apologize.

At this time, the Forest player next to him quickly leaned over and bowed, and then shouted, "I'm sorry!" ”

"Coach Li, George, he ......" The middle-aged coach immediately realized that something was wrong, because the person opposite was also called George, "George Wood he really didn't mean it, he trained very hard, although he was not very talented, but he always insisted on practicing more......"

The middle-aged coach kept explaining to George Li, hoping to get forgiveness and forgiveness from the other party, after all, one of his young players injured one of the other party's professional players, and he also heard on the way here that it was a torn cruciate ligament.

George Li could tell from the other party's words that the other party cared about this young player very much, and then began to look at this young player.

Judging from his face, the young man is very young, estimated to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he is very tall, and he looks in good physical condition, with a wheat-colored complexion and not exaggerated muscles, wearing a red jersey of the Forest team, and the number 55 printed on his trouser leg.

Forest, Wood, No. 55.

George Li seemed to have thought of something, and immediately asked the coach opposite.

"Coach, what's your last name?"

"Donn, Tony Donn."
