"George, the players are on holiday, can't we take a holiday yet?"

Before the meeting had even started, Leeds United's coaching staff had not yet arrived, so a few of the first coaches and scouting staff members started gagging.

"If you win the Champions League, I'll give you a holiday, but who makes us a little bit less."

Faced with Chris Casper's question, George Lee replied angrily.

A few people just continued to talk about each other. The season is over, the whole coaching staff is relaxed, and there is a wrap-up meeting before the holidays come.

At the same time, it is necessary to prepare for the next season.

Of course, the coaching staff will be a little less troublesome, while the scouting department and data analysis department will work a little harder.

That's why Casper would have complained just now, as Leeds United finished second in the league this season while losing in the Champions League final. That means the Leeds staff will be busy this offseason, and George Lee will definitely explain a lot of things for them to do.

And Chris Casper, as the technical director, is definitely the first to bear the brunt.

Unlike other teams, most of the technical directors are just a name, and the actual affairs are handled by the people below. Casper, the technical director, is really conscientious and fully committed to the mistakes he is responsible for, and many things are mostly done by himself.

Last season was a fantastic one for Leeds United. In the Champions League, almost no one looked forward to them, but they were such a team that reached the final of the Champions League, and although they lost the game, they won the respect of the fans all over Europe.

Barcelona is like an evil dragon, and Leeds United, as a warrior who wants to slay the dragon, will not be forgotten whether he can succeed in the end or not.

But a failure to slay a dragon could not satisfy George Li's wishes, and he was not prepared to see him come this time, and the next time he made a comeback, it would be a different scene.

The Champions League final is such a miracle, if Leeds United did not reach the final, then the "Big Ears Cup" may not be so attractive to George Lee. But after reaching a final, the trophy seemed to have some magic, constantly luring George Lee to chase the ball.

"Sorry, we're late."

The arrival of Tony Wilson and scouting director Steve Walsh interrupted George Lee's reminiscences about the Champions League final.

After the two entered the conference room, they immediately found a place to sit at the front, and then everyone else stopped their conversation and began to look at George Lee.

When George Lee saw that the people had arrived, he stood up and began his speech.

"Guys, I've been in charge of this team for five seasons now and we've won a lot of trophies in those five seasons. They're in the Hall of Fame at Elland Road Stadium right now, so I won't say more. ”

"I don't think I will say which trophy should be missing in it, everyone knows it."

"In the next five years, I hope we can get this trophy and put it in the honour room of our new stadium."

Hearing George Lee talk about this, everyone realized that the team might be moving to a new stadium in the next season or two.

The new stadium was named "New Elland Road Stadium", and the names of the original grandstand with special significance were also referenced to the new stadium.

If a Champions League trophy could be used as a trophy for the new stadium, it would be a great story in football history.

George Lee continued his statement.

"So, this offseason, I think we're going to start preparing for the next season."

'I hope in the next five years we can win more than just a Champions League trophy.'

Everyone nodded in agreement. After all, the only games that the team can value now are the Champions League and the league title, and they really don't care much about the other games.

And between the two, the Champions League is more important. After all, what you don't get is the best.

"First of all, the contract renewal of the players in the team, I hope to be able to keep all the members of the team, because in my opinion we have very good players, no thorns, no tumors."

"Secondly, I think there are other teams in the team besides Allan, Charlotte, Wesley, Aljan and Gareth Jr. who have made offers for our players, and we can sell them if the offer is reasonable."

When George Li finished saying these names, everyone took out pens and wrote down these names.

It is not difficult to see that George Lee wants to revamp the forward line, and he will definitely bring in a strong striker this summer to strengthen the team's attacking firepower. Because in the names just now, the team's main striker Kuyt is not on the team's list of non-saleable lists.

The Dutch striker has been a hard-working player in his few seasons at Leeds United, but his goalscoring efficiency is a bit low at the moment, and he can't deliver effective output when the team needs attacking firepower the most.

Originally, George Lee wanted Kuyt to try the right side, but the first choice on the right side of the team was always Robben, which is understandable.

'We can give other young players a chance, we have a lot of good young players and if they don't get a chance, it's not good for them to grow, so there are definitely players to go.'

George Lee's words give a signal that some of the squad need to leave to make way for the younger players.

With that, George Lee stopped his speech and began to look at Eddie Gray and Tony Wilson.

The two men he was watching looked at each other, and then Wilson took the initiative to speak.

Wilson said: "We have been in contact with the agent and the player has said that he can transfer, but he doesn't want to stiffen the relationship with the old club and he still appreciates their manager. ”

"Yes, I appreciate it too." George Lee made a joke along with his words.

"Hahaha~"

Everyone in the room knew who the player was being mentioned, so they also knew who their manager was.

Wilson continued: "You did very well in the Champions League this time, although we didn't win the Champions League, but we showed a lot of quality and potential that was clearly better than his club. ”

"Is there anything missing?" George Lee asked.

"It seems that the player himself wants to talk to you at a distance, so you think it's better for you to go or let him come to England to talk."

George Li looked at the watch he was wearing, then looked up and said to Wilson, "Out of respect for him, I am going to Sweden in a while, so let's make an appointment to meet him in his hometown." This will also avoid the media, after all, the British and Italian paparazzi have a more smart nose. ”

"Hahaha~"

Just as everyone was laughing, Casper seemed to have noticed something, just as George Lee was looking at the time.

"George, why do you still have a ring on your hand, or do you still have your ring finger on it?"

“......”

George Lee now has the slightest desire to strangle Casper.

Everyone present, except for Wilson, obviously didn't know about George Lee and Helen, and when Wilson said this, it meant that everyone knew.

The two have already received their certificates, and they have not been notified except for their families. The ceremony was held in a church in Helen's hometown of Cardiff, Wales, which was quite secretive.

George Lee is still thinking about taking Helen to Northern Europe for her honeymoon this offseason, and now he can't let the people in this office go out and sell himself.
