The day's training routine is almost over and the Leeds United players are being taken to a relaxation session by fitness coach Colin McGee.

Gary McAllister has also returned to his office, although he is not ready to leave work directly, as he has not yet found a house in Leeds City, but lives in the dormitory at Leeds United's Thorpe Arch training ground.

He returned to his seat, made himself a cup of coffee, and then sat down on the edge of his seat.

"Gary, I'll go first." Nigel Martin, who was sitting next to McAllister, offered to greet him.

The pair were team-mates for a while at Leeds United in the 96/97 season, so Lee George placed McAllister next to Martin.

"Okay, Gary, are you going to leave too?" After McAllister and Martin said goodbye, he saw that Gary Kelly on the other side was also leaving, and hurriedly said hello.

Now there are three people in this office, two of them are called "Gary", and I don't know if Gary Speed comes over, Martin will definitely have a special headache.

After the two men left, McAllister turned on his computer and began to write emails.

"Gary, I've heard you've got another injury, and it's a bit of a serious injury, and I think your playing career is coming to an end. But don't be too upset, because what I want to tell you is that being a coach is also very rewarding. It's been two weeks since I arrived at Leeds and my coaching role at Leeds United has completely changed my perception of what I used to do. ”

"George is really a good coach and what he's done in the head coach position is really different from what I've done before. I'm going to tell you what I've seen and heard in the past two weeks so that you can prepare in advance, and I also recommend that you read some coaching books so that you don't look out of place when you come to the team after the season. ”

McAllister thought about it for a moment, then deleted the next sentence. I'm not Speed's parent, so it's a bit rude to make people read books.

It's just that he really thinks it's really interesting to be a coach at Leeds United. But at the same time, there is a certain amount of pressure, after all, Leeds United are a strong team now, and everything about it will be noticed.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been a manager for a while, McAllister felt he might not have been able to keep up with the fast-paced model of the Leeds United coaching staff.

All the division of labor has been clearly divided, and defense, offense, tactics, and physical fitness are almost all in charge, one after another. All outdoor training sessions are staffed by data engineers to ensure that each data is kept up to date and can provide first-hand information to the Leeds United coaching staff.

While McAllister was still reminiscing, there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in."

"Hello Coach McAllister, Coach McGee asked me to have a copy of your training report, he needs to look at it while he is training." Leeds United captain Alan Smith asked as he came into the office.

"Okay." McAllister found what Smith needed in the papers next to him and handed it to him.

It's just that Smith just took the thing and didn't leave right away.

Seeing Smith stunned, McAllister asked Smith, "What's the matter, Captain?" ”

"Oh, nothing." Smith immediately came back to his senses and said, "It's just that seeing your bald head reminds me of two former teammates, who are also bald." ”

"It's Mills and Graveson." McAllister also knew who Smith was talking about.

"Yes, in the past, in the game, every time I had a conflict with Don't, they rushed over to help. Now that they're gone, I think of them when I see your bald head. ”

"Don't worry, the next time you are brought down on the court, I will rush up to help as soon as possible." McAllister joked with Smith that he knew that if he ran off the court, he would not only be sent off, but also have a bad impact on the team.

"Then it's settled." Smith turned and left.

After seeing Smith leave, McAllister continued to return to his computer and continue to write emails to Speed.

'We haven't lost lately, but we were held to a draw by Newcastle in the last round, and Newcastle's nasty striker scored a goal and actually ran to our dugout, and George almost went up to fight him.

McAllister couldn't help but laugh out loud when he thought of George Lee's madness in the game two days ago. Then after realizing that he was a little out of shape, he quickly turned his head to look around and confirmed that there was no one before continuing to laugh.

'All the players in the squad are working hard, even the injured ones, and even though I've only been here for two weeks I've thoroughly enjoyed the team. It made me feel more united and desperate than we were back then. ”

As he wrote, he flashed the Leeds United players in his mind until the figure of Smith came to mind.

'Alan Smith is a really good captain, he's kept all the Leeds traditions of the past, and I'm sure you're going to love this kid when you come.'

McAllister wrote this, and looked back at what he had written, and it was indeed less like an email, more like a phone call to talk to Speed about his parents.

After taking a sip of coffee, he reflected on his experience in the past two weeks, and was very satisfied with his current life.

Seeing that there was nothing left to write about, I clicked and sent the email.

A day later, when all the Leeds United players had finished training, Smith took the initiative to find McAllister, who was about to leave.

"Coach, it's Christmas soon. Do you need to bring the family to a Christmas party? ”

"Christmas party?"

"Yes, every year there's this part where everybody in the team brings their families to the party. At the same time, there are a lot of lucky fans, and our Mr. Chairman will give various awards, all in all, it is very interesting. ”

McAllister thought for a moment that his wife had passed away and the children were studying elsewhere, and although they would be back at Christmas, it would be even more lively if he could bring them to the party.

But he thought again. Is it possible to call David Barty and Gary Speed.

In particular, although Speed is still a player for Bolton, he is no longer ready to play due to injury, but is ready to retire after the end of the season.

After that, Speed will report to Leeds United.

If he could, McAllister would really like Speed to come and get a feel for the Leeds United vibe right now.

However, whether this idea can be feasible or not depends on the agreement of Speed and George Lee.

Obviously, Smith in front of him can't make a decision, and George Lee is still needed to make the final decision.
