Hearing his son's question, John Hall's brow furrowed slightly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Despite the smoky smoke, it was an indescribable taste of disappointment, but it was revealed between the simple frown of the old sir, like the cyan smoke after a cigar had been burned, creeping over the room...... He stood up.

As if thinking about something, I slowly walked to the window.

He reached out and pulled back the beige lattice curtains...... It was already late at night outside, but with the help of the orange halo of the street lamp, I could still see the old apple tree in the yard, and I don't know when the tender green shoots had quietly appeared...... Hall couldn't help but think of the time when he was young and planted this fruit tree with his wife and children, when his wife was still alive, his son was smart, handsome and obedient, the hope of spring, the dark green of summer, the fruit of autumn, and the snowman of winter...... Thinking about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but outline a soothing arc.

That look of disappointment gradually disappeared on his face.

After all, the person sitting in front of him now is his only son...... He turned around, looked at his only son, and asked seriously, "Henry, what kind of person do you think, madman Lee?" ”

"Him?"

Henry thought about it seriously: "A magical, arrogant, and sometimes rude fellow who always does things unexpectedly...... However, many times, I have to admit that the approach he takes is always able to achieve the most perfect results! ”

Hall smiled.

"Son, in a way, your description is indeed accurate......"

The old knight took another puff of his cigar and said slowly: "I remember when he first appeared in front of me, he was ashamed to threaten to buy Newcastle with me, and also asked for a controlling stake in the team...... But the guy I almost used to sit in my living room was a madman who had run out of a mental hospital...... However, he eventually convinced me......"

Hall remembered the scene from two years ago.

He continued: "But, my son, it seems to me that you haven't really known the madman Li ...... for so long."

Hall's expression began to become serious, he stared at Henry, and said seriously: "You must remember that no matter how you evaluate it, the madman Lee is first and foremost a proud person......"

"A proud person will always have his own principles when doing things......"

"So, you don't have to worry about Newcastle's current financial problems, I'm worried that this is the madman Lee getting rid of the burden......"

"A proud man like him wouldn't do such a thing......"

"In fact, three consecutive board reports have shown that Newcastle are very financially healthy, even the healthiest club in the Premier League, and that it is slowly making a profit, and as you said, there is no limit to ...... appreciation."

"As you asked, I don't know why he was selling his stake at this time...... Perhaps, there is something more important for him than Newcastle to do...... Or, is he tired of his current game and life? ”

"My son, now is your chance, go and fulfill your dreams......"

“…… Although you don't want to admit it, but the madman Lee is like a dutiful father, who has already prepared everything for his successor in Newcastle, son, as long as you don't make fatal mistakes, in the next four or five years, you will be the most glamorous club owner in the Premier League! ”

With that, John Hall took another hard puff on the cigar attached to the emerald cigarette holder, and the wrinkles on his face were like the lines of wisdom carved by the years, and he suddenly warned his son sternly: "At all times, I hope that you will be able to maintain a good relationship with the madman Lee...... With the dignity of Florentino, the president of Real Madrid, he did not hesitate to break the festival and better with the madman Li who is forty or fifty years younger than him, so no matter what happens, you should not take the initiative to be an enemy of him! ”

Henry nodded.

This was the first time in more than 20 years that my father had spoken to him so harshly.

The look of disappointment in his father's eyes a few minutes ago, though he had concealed it well, was keenly aware of it.............................. The clock goes on.

As the battle between Manchester United and Newcastle drew to a close, what the madman Lee said to Sir John Hall, the club's other major shareholder, when he returned to the chairman's box, became a mystery that no one mentioned...... The Premier League continues the four-nation affair, and Newcastle also won back-to-back Premier League games - beating Everton 2-0 away.

Beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 at home.

Defeated Aston Villa 4-2 away.

Successive victories in three games have kept the Magpies' hopes of winning the title alive in the table with a firm grip on the Blues, who rely on winning goals to lead the table...... The only thing that worries Newcastle fans is that in the penultimate round of the away game against Aston Villa, the team's golden striker duo Owen and Ronaldo were injured again!

This is not the first time the pair have been injured this season.

As they grew older, their injuries became more frequent.

Moreover, throughout the careers of the two, major injuries and minor injuries have never been broken, and it is a miracle that they can guarantee more than 30 appearances per season in these seasons at Newcastle...... On May 8, Newcastle will travel to Stamford Bridge to challenge the current leader Chelsea, which is a battle involving thousands of fans around the world, and the winner will directly win the Premier League title in the 09-10 season, and the loser will soon be forgotten by history!

For Newcastle, the absence of Michael Owen and Ronaldo has had a huge impact.

Rijkaard has no other striker on hand other than Gigi, unless the Dutchman chooses to change the line-up...... However, the hasty change of formation did not work well.

What's more, this game was still played at away Stamford Bridge............ [Black Swan] found Li Tongfan after thinking about it.

"Haha, Frank, I know who you're coming to me for......"

In the office, Li Tongfan clasped his hands to his chest and smiled very proudly: "Don't worry, Frank, before the game against Chelsea, you will definitely get him, I promise!" ”

Rijkaard let out a long sigh of relief.

It's definitely a very easy thing to work with a smart club president like Maniac Lee, who comes from a head coach.

At the beginning of the season, after accepting Newcastle's invitation, Rijkaard was very worried that his coaching ideas would not be at odds with a madman like Lie, and that Lee, who was accustomed to thinking of himself as the head coach of the team, would use the powerful prestige he had erected in the dressing room to interfere with the operation of the team and his rights as a manager...... But now it seems that everything is a matter of thinking about it too much.

Far from interfering with his work in the dressing room, the madman Lee has been very cooperative, allowing him to quickly establish his own authority soon after arriving at Newcastle...... The intimacy of the two people who have been working together!

Isn't that exactly what you want to be in as a manager?

Rijkaard left the office satisfied.

However, before stepping out of the office, [Black Swan] did not forget to advise: "Lee, you better let him report to the first team as soon as possible, I hope that before the game against Chelsea, the team can have enough training time to help him integrate into the ......team as soon as possible."

"Frank, don't worry!"

Lao Li patted his chest and made an OK gesture.

………… Ten minutes later.

Office of the President.

Li Tongfan leaned on the windowsill behind the work with his hands on his chest, and looked at the strong young man in front of him with a serious expression, and the look in his eyes gradually became satisfied...... The young man in front of him had changed a lot compared to five months ago—his skin had become much darker, his long flaxen-colored hair, which had been able to pull out a horse's tail, had now been shaved to a slab, and his hair stood up hard towards the sky like a brush, and his rough facial contours were a little less frivolous and floating, and more resolute and calm...... This is exactly what Li Tongfan is looking forward to.

After a long time, a smile finally appeared on Li Tongfan's face.

"I'm very happy, Andy, it seems that now you really know what to do to be a real professional footballer!"

Andy Carroll was still a little apprehensive in his heart, but when he heard so much about the chairman, he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and he looked up at Li Tongfan as if he were asking...... Li Tongfan nodded affirmatively: "Yes, Andy, I want to ...... Now you can report to the first team! ”

Andy Carroll was thrilled.

For five months, five full months, he said goodbye to the first team, away from the media and fans, and quietly trained with the reserves, playing with the reserves in games that were barely watched...... For a promising 20-year-old goalscorer who has made a name for himself as a teenager, it can be like hell for five months, and after the end of the season, the 2010 World Cup is just around the corner...... During this period, Liverpool and other Premier League teams have contacted him more than once in private, hoping that he can transfer, and assured that he will be able to give him a main position after the transfer to help him impact the 2010 World Cup in England and South Africa...... However, Andy Carroll refused!

Yes, he is hungry for a regular position, for a first-team start, for a chance to be in the summer of 2010 at the World Cup in South Africa...... However, compared to these, Carol has always felt that that the person's forgiveness for him is the most important thing!

So, he persevered!

In addition to training silently and hard, Carroll has always endured the kind of life that was absolutely boring for him before, rejecting his former fox friends and dogs, rejecting bars and beautiful women, refusing media interviews, and rejecting everything that has nothing to do with football...... After five long months, Carol finally waited for what he wanted most!

This 1.9-meter-tall teenager didn't know what to say for a while.

Tears swirled in circles in my eyes, and I endured it several times, but finally flowed...... These are tears of joy!

Also tears of repentance and rebirth!!

At this moment, Li Tongfan was also moved by Andy Carroll's emotions, he gently walked over and patted the young man's shoulder, smiled and said, "Andy, you are one of the most football-loving players I have ever met......"

“…… I know you've already humbled Nasser, Steven, and Juan, and they've forgiven you...... Go, the team needs you now, Stamford Bridge on May 8 will be your stage, believe me, as long as you work hard, the World Cup may not be just a dream for you! ”
