No miracles happened, with Leeds suffering their second defeat of the season on the road.

At 0-2, Ibrahimovic's two goals helped Inter Milan reach the round of 16, while also keeping Leeds United out of the knockout round.

After the game, many of the Leeds United players were lying on the ground, and some were sitting on the ground watching the Inter players celebrate.

They were not reconciled, and they ended this season's Champions League journey.

Youngsters like the young Bynes, Carson and Lennon, who came off the bench later, were secretly wiping away tears.

"Don't cry, stand up."

Smith came to Baines' side, pulled up his teammate, and began to comfort him. As everyone knows, his own eyes are also red, but he didn't cry.

After shaking hands with Mancini, George Lee came to the field to comfort his players.

Several members of the coaching staff, except for Kidd who came to the court to find Mills, and Milner who was there to comfort them. The rest of the coaching staff were silently packing up.

Schmeichel and Erling Haaland smiled at each other as their coaching careers at Leeds United were coming to an end.

After Christmas, they will travel to clubs in Norway and Denmark to coach.

It's a shame not to be able to move forward with Leeds.

However, in the three years at Leeds United, they also won good honors, 1 UEFA Cup, 1 UEFA Super Cup, 1 League Cup.

But it's a pity to be eliminated from the Champions League.

McGee, on the other hand, looked at the data on the computer with Casper and began to analyze the reasons for the loss. The two of them will continue to work at Leeds United.

And Sheridan, Martin, and Howe all put away their lost emotions and prepared to leave.

Although they lost the Champions League, Leeds United continued this season.

The players on the field also got up one by one, tidied up their clothes, and began to leave the field one by one.

Smith even came to the Leeds United fans who came after him and bowed to the fans who came from afar.

George Li watched all this from afar.

Finally, when it was all over, he accompanied Smith to the locker room.

^^^

The two came to the locker room, and neither of them spoke all the way, just walking side by side.

"Can we come again next year?" Smith sniffed and finally spoke to his head coach at the door of the locker room.

'Yes, but in the top two in the league, we don't even have to play in the play-offs.' In order to ease the atmosphere, George Li also made a little joke.

"Then I'm going to do my best, boss."

"Let's go inside." George Lee motioned for Smith to enter the locker room.

The two stepped into the locker room one after the other to find the team's president, Mike Lee, and general manager, Tony Wilson, already waiting for them in the locker room.

"Coming?" It seemed that Lee Mike was talking to the players about something, and stopped when he saw Lee George come in.

When Wilson saw George Lee come in, he took the initiative to pull George Lee out of the door and let Michael Lee continue to speak inside.

The two walked out the door.

Seeing that there were still some people outside, Wilson pulled George Lee to a place where there was no one at a distance.

"Give." Wilson pulled out a cigarette and handed it to George Lee.

"I don't smoke." Lee George refused, and he was now curious to know what Wilson was pulling him out for.

"Mike said that everyone must be uncomfortable after being eliminated, so he came to comfort the players for you, after all, you must not feel good in your heart."

"Is that all? Then I'm going to listen to it too, so that he can comfort me too. George Lee made a gesture and prepared to leave.

"No, I have other things." Wilson saw that George Lee was leaving, and quickly grabbed him.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Regarding the transfer, first of all, what do you think about the elimination of the Champions League this time?"

"I still say that a successful club doesn't happen overnight. Although I didn't have much hope for the Champions League this time, I was also very unwilling to be eliminated like this. ”

"Then buy it, who made you refuse to spend money this summer." Wilson lit his own cigarette and smoked it slowly.

'Now in addition to the wingers, I need a good midfielder.

"Gone?"

"There may be a few other young players, like the Bale mentioned before, you must take it for me." At the mention of Bell, George Lee's eyes lit up.

The next time he has the Welshman, he will definitely blow up McCone when he meets Inter Milan.

"That's fine, it's just ......" Wilson took another deep drag on his cigarette, but some of the words were more difficult to say.

"Is it ......?" George Li vaguely guessed something.

"That's right, someone might want to leave."

^^^

Back in the league, Leeds began to dedicate themselves to the league.

After the team was eliminated from the Champions League, although there was a brief loss, it recovered immediately.

At Lee's suggestion, the team did a few things.

First of all, the club's president attended the wrap-up meeting in the dressing room and suggested that the team would increase the prize money for the Intercontinental Cup if they finished third in the group after the final Champions League group game.

And he said he would be equally happy if he could defend the League Cup.

Then the general manager of the club began to renew the contracts of several key players and potential players of Leeds United.

Especially when Charlotte Black saw the £5,000 a week salary written on his contract, he even thought of buying a motorcycle.

However, when he saw that the head coach sitting opposite was his future brother-in-law, he immediately put away this unrealistic idea and decided that it would be more practical to buy a bag for his girlfriend.

After Charlotte left, Wilson even asked Lee George.

"Is it less to give, will it be poached by other teams, after all, Rooney went to Manchester United for more than this price, I have always felt that Charlotte's potential is no worse than Rooney."

"You think he's in high esteem, but do you think he's going somewhere else?"

After saying that, George Li smiled evilly at Wilson, and Wilson smiled maliciously when he saw it.

After completing the contract renewal of most of the players, George Li also put down his hanging heart, he was afraid that after the team was eliminated, the players would have the idea of leaving.

After all, although Leeds United's recent situation is good, but in the face of some big clubs in other countries, George Lee does not guarantee whether the players under his account will leave.

It's like something Wilson just told him about the other day.

Just as George Lee was about to continue discussing the matter with Wilson, George Lee's phone rang.

It was Helen calling.

"What's wrong......

"Invite us to dinner?"

"Are they all going? Is his salary enough for so many people? ”

"Okay, okay, I'll ask them."

"Where to eat?"

"Go...... Well......"

Wilson watched George Lee cut off the phone, and then prepared to get up and leave, because he had just heard that Helen seemed to be going to have dinner with George Lee, so he thought that he was off work now, so he wouldn't bother the two of them.

"Tony, don't go." Lee George stopped Wilson.

"What's wrong?"

"Helen told me that Charlotte had a new contract and wanted to invite us to a meal and thank us."

"The whole team?" Wilson was curious, after all, Charlotte was not the only one who signed the contract, and he signed the cheapest one, so it was not his turn to come for a treat.

"No, it's just a few family members, a few people who are closer."

"You mean the family?" Wilson exclaimed, he was glad that the other party could treat him as a member of the family, and he had ordered this meal today, even if it was fast food.

"That's right, why don't you ask if Mike is free?"

"Okay, where is the hotel?" Wilson decided to ask clearly, after all, he took this dinner very seriously, and he must clean up when the time comes.

"Charles fried fish, that's their main store, the one where Mr. Black is." George Lee named the location of the dinner.

"Charles...... Fried fish ......"

"Don't like it?"

"It's not...... Carl gave it to me at the beginning, and it tasted good. ”

Wilson looked at his suit, and he already felt the need to change into a tracksuit or something.

^^^

In the evening, this meal was enjoyed by the guests and the hosts.

Facing a large table of high-calorie food that they can't usually eat, Lee Mack and Wilson, two people who are usually used to eating high-end restaurants in suits and leather shoes, drank a full 3 dozen beers.

In the end, Mike Lee, who drank too much, even suggested that fish and chips would be eaten at the club's Christmas dinner this year, but when the club dinner was over, he asked the store to bring it over.

He also asked Olsen what other well-known fast food restaurants in Leeds were, and gave them all the names and ordered them together when the time came.

As a result, Olsen reported a dozen piccerias, burger joints, and so on, while Anne on one side added five dessert shops.

“OK！ OK！ Li Mike said that he would satisfy them when the time came.

And the "Aunt Tony" in the mouths of several children behind them has also started snoring because they have drunk too much, holding Li Mike's arm.
