Chapter 546 Five Months and Forgiveness [Second Update]
Hearing his son's question, John Hall frowned slightly.
Although the green smoke was lingering, an indescribable disappointment was revealed between the simple frown of the old Sir, just like the blue smoke after burning a cigar, quietly permeating the whole room...
He stood up.
As if thinking about something, he walked slowly to the window.
He stretched out his hand and opened the beige plaid curtain...
It was already late at night outside, but with the help of the orange halo of the street lamps, one could still see the tender little green shoots on the old apple tree in the yard...
Hall couldn't help but think of the scene when he planted this fruit tree with his wife and children when he was young. At that time, 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, the snowman of winter...
Thinking about it, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but draw a soothing arc.
The look of disappointment gradually disappeared from his face.
After all, the person sitting in front of him is his only son...
He turned around, looked at his only son, and asked seriously after a while, "Henry, what kind of person do you think Crazy Li is?"
"he?"
Henry thought about it seriously: "A magical, arrogant, and sometimes rude guy, he always does things unexpectedly... However, in many cases, I have to admit that the methods he adopts can always achieve the most perfect results!"
Hall smiled.
"Son, in a way, your description is indeed accurate..."
The old jazz took another sip of his cigar, and said slowly: "I remember when he first appeared in front of me, he boldly threatened to buy Newcastle together with me, and also demanded to take control of the team's controlling stake... But, the person I almost sat in my living room before was a lunatic who escaped from a mental hospital... But, he finally convinced me..."
The scene two years ago appeared in Hall's mind.
He went on to say: "However, my son, it seems to me that you have not really known Crazy Lee for such a long time..."
Hall's expression became serious, he stared at Henry, and said seriously: "You have to remember that no matter how you evaluate it, Madman Li is first and foremost a proud person..."
"A proud person always has his own principles in doing things..."
"So, you don't have to worry about Newcastle's current financial problems at all, worrying that this is Madman Lee trying to shake off the burden..."
"A proud man like him would not do such a thing..."
"In fact, three consecutive board reports have shown that Newcastle's finances are very healthy, even the healthiest club in the entire Premier League. It is slowly making profits. As you said, there is unlimited room for appreciation..."
"As you asked, I don't know why he wants to sell his shares at this time...Maybe, for him, there are more important things for him to do than Newcastle...Or, is he tired of the current game and life?"
"My son, now is your chance to fulfill your dream..."
"...Although you don't want to admit it, Madman Li is like a conscientious father. He has already prepared everything for his successor in Newcastle. Son, as long as you don't make fatal mistakes, in the next four to five years, you will be the most glorious club owner in the Premier League!"
Speaking of this, John Hall took another deep puff of the cigar attached to the emerald cigarette holder. The wrinkles on his face were like the lines of wisdom carved by the years. He suddenly warned his son severely: "At any time, I hope you can maintain a good relationship with Crazy Lee...As the respect of Real Madrid Chairman Florentino, he would spare no expense to be with Crazy Li who is four or 50 years younger than him. So, no matter what happens, don't take the initiative to be an enemy of him!"
Henry nodded.
This is the first time his father has spoken so harshly to him in more than 20 years.
Even though he hid the disappointment in his father's eyes a few minutes ago, Henry was keenly aware of it...
…………
…………
Time goes on.
After the battle between Manchester United and Newcastle was about to end, what did Madman Li return to the chairman's box and what the other major shareholder of the club, Sir John Hall, said, gradually became a mystery that no one mentioned...
The Premier League continues the Romance of the Four Kingdoms, and Newcastle also won consecutive victories in the next Premier League——
The away game defeated Everton 2:0.
Defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3:1 at home.
The away game defeated Aston Villa 4:2.
The three consecutive victories have allowed the Magpies to firmly bite the blue team Chelsea, which is leading by scoring goals, in the standings, and the hope of winning the championship has been retained...
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 partners Owen and Ronaldo were injured again!
This is not the first time the two have been injured this season.
The increasing age makes their injuries more and more frequent.
Moreover, looking at the careers of the two, there has never been a major injury or a minor injury. In the past few seasons in Newcastle, it is already a miracle that they can guarantee to play more than 30 games per season...
On May 5th, Newcastle will go to Stamford Bridge to challenge the current leader, the blue team Chelsea. This is a battle involving thousands of fans all over the world. The winner will directly win the Premier League title in the 8-09 season, while the loser will soon be forgotten by history!
For Newcastle, the absence of Owen and Ronaldo has had a huge impact.
Rijkaard has no other good forwards besides Gigi, unless the Dutchman chooses to change...
However, the effect of hasty changes is not good.
What's more, this game is still played away at Stamford Bridge...
……
[Black Swan] After thinking about it, I found Li Tongfan.
"Haha, Frank, I know who you came to me for..."
In the office, Li Tongfan crossed his arms and smiled proudly: "Don't worry, Frank, you will definitely get him before you play against Chelsea, I promise!"
Rijkaard breathed a sigh of relief.
It is definitely a very easy thing to work with such a smart club president who was born as a head coach like Madman Li.
At the beginning of this season, after accepting Newcastle's invitation, Rijkaard was very worried that his coaching ideas would be inconsistent with a crazy chairman like Madman Lee, and worried that Madman Lee, who was used to treating himself as the team's head coach, would interfere with the team's operations and his right as a head coach by virtue of his strong prestige in the locker room...
But now it seems that everything is my own thinking.
Instead of interfering with his work in the locker room, Crazy Li has always cooperated very well, allowing him to quickly establish his own authority shortly after he came to Newcastle... The two have always cooperated closely!
As a head coach, isn't the expected environment exactly like it is now?
Rijkaard left the office satisfied.
However, before stepping out of the office, [Black Swan] did not forget to say: "Li, you'd better let him report to the first team as soon as possible. I hope that before the match against Chelsea, the team can have sufficient 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.
……
……
10 minutes later.
Chairman's Office.
Li Tongfan leaned on the window sill behind his work with his hands folded, and looked at the 1.9-meter-long strong boy in front of him with a serious expression, and the expression in his eyes gradually became satisfied...
Compared with five months ago, the boy in front of him has changed a lot——
His skin was much tanned, and his long flaxen hair, which could have been tied into a horse's tail, was shaved into a square inch at the moment. The hairs stood up straight towards the sky like brushes.
This is exactly what Li Tongfan expected to see.
After a while, Li Tongfan finally showed a smile on his face.
"I'm very happy, Andy, it seems that now you really understand what to do in order to be considered a real professional football player!"
Andy Carroll was still a little apprehensive at first, but he was ecstatic when he heard so much from the chairman. He raised his head and looked at Li Tongfan as if asking...
Li Tongfan nodded affirmatively: "Yes, Andy, I think...now you can report to the first team!"
Andy Carroll was thrilled.
Five months, five full months, he bid farewell to the first-team games, stayed away from the pursuit of the media and fans, silently followed the reserve team to train, followed the reserve team to play games with almost no spectators...
For a 20-year-old striker with a promising future, these five months are like hell. You must know that after the end of the season, the 2010 World Cup will be held in a blink of an eye. Like many English players, he is eager to represent the England team in South Africa...
During this period, Liverpool and other Premier League teams contacted him more than once in private, hoping that he could transfer, and promised that after the transfer, he would be given a main position to help him hit the squad for the 2010 World Cup in England and South Africa...
However, Andy - Carroll refused!
Yes, he longs for a main position, longs for a first-team starting opportunity, longs for a glorious appearance in the World Cup in South Africa in the summer of 2010...
However, compared with these, Carol has always felt that the person's forgiveness to him is the most important thing!
So, he persisted!
In addition to training silently and hard, Carol has been enduring the kind of life that was absolutely boring for him before, rejecting old friends, bars and beautiful women, rejecting media interviews, rejecting everything that has nothing to do with football...
After five long months, Carol finally got what he wanted most!
This 1.9-meter-tall boy didn't know what to say for a while.
Tears rolled in the eyes, endured it several times, and finally flowed down...
This is tears of joy and tears!
Also the tears of repentance and birth! !
At this moment, Li Tongfan was also moved by Andy Carroll's emotions. He walked over and patted the boy on the shoulder, and said with a smile——
"Andy, you're one of the most football-loving players I've ever met..."
"...I know that you have already humbled Nasser, Steven and Juan, and they all forgave you... Go ahead, the team needs you now, and Stamford Bridge on May 5 will be your stage. Believe me, as long as you work hard, the World Cup may not just be a dream for you!"
