Chapter 640

After Leeds United's victory, both players and fans celebrated that night.

This is Leeds United's best record in European competitions this century. Fans could not even imagine at the beginning of the season that their team would be one of the four best clubs in Europe.

Who would have thought that they were still worrying about keeping a place in the British Championship two years ago?

It's a feeling of ecstasy, and the fans can't contain their excitement, and neither can the players.

Because they know that the semi-finals will not be their final results. In order to win the big ear cup, everyone will put in all their efforts.

After the other two duels ended the next day, the top four seats in the European War were officially finalized.

Unfortunately, Arsenal was out and Real Madrid entered the semi-finals, which means that the situation that the British media expected to see the top four in the Premier League will not appear. However, to get two seats, it is already an important task for the English media Motivated.

Heinrich also generously gave the players a half-day vacation so that they could fully rest.

But Heinrich himself didn't have much time to enjoy the joy after the victory. He used this time to visit Mr. Jack Charlton in the hospital.

Little Jack Charlton has almost announced his return from injury, but the old Mr. Jack Charlton was admitted to the hospital for some physical reasons.

Heinrich avoided all media and went to see him alone.

The old Mr. Charlton seemed to be in good spirits. Although he was in the hospital, he was still holding the remote control and watching the replay of the Leeds United game on the TV.

When Heinrich went in, it happened to be Kaka's goal in the second half.

Old Charlton raised his arms high and did not cheer, but a smile appeared on his face.

The always serious old man seemed to be particularly easy to please at this moment. When he heard the voice and turned to look at Heinrich, his smile did not weaken at all: "Your team performed very well."

"It's our team." Heinrich smiled and sat down on the chair next to the hospital bed, and said directly, "Mr. Charlton, I would like to invite you to take up a position in the club."

This kind of invitation was sent out by Heinrich two seasons ago. At that time, he had just joined the team, and the fans were still very dissatisfied with this new young man. Heinrich's start at Leeds United was somewhat shaky.

At that time, Heinrich invited Mr. Charlton to join the club in order to consolidate his coaching position through Mr. Charlton's reputation.

Charlton readily accepted Heinrich's invitation at the time, and will attend some major events.

But now, Heinrich has become a well-deserved leader in the club, and fans will support everything he says and does.

At the beginning of this year, Charlton Sr. resigned from his only honorary position in the club and chose to go home to enjoy retirement.

But now, Heinrich came to invite again, which made Mr. Charlton feel a little surprised.

The old man sat up slightly and wanted to adjust his sitting posture. Heinrich immediately stood up and helped him adjust the position of the pillow behind him.

"You sit down." Mr. Charlton patted Heinrich's arm, and he said after seeing Heinrich sat down, "I'm old, and my body is not as hard as before, even if I accept it." I can't do too much about your invitation, even if I go to the football field to watch a game, I still have to listen to the doctor's advice, and I can't get angry, I might refuse your invitation this time."

Heinrich seemed to have expected it long ago, and he smiled: "I admit that I was selfish in the previous invitation, sir, you have helped me a lot, this time I sincerely want to invite you to come back The club doesn't need to do too much, just give players and fans some incentives."

Old Charlton was a little puzzled: "Incentive?"

"Yes, this club is actually still very young and has just started on the right track. I may be able to help them improve their cohesion, but the basics cannot be awakened overnight."

What Heinrich said was true.

Every team needs veterans to hold the lineup. Similarly, the cohesion of a team will also be reflected from their stars.

Mr. Charles is a well-deserved star player of Leeds United. For Heinrich, getting his support is far more than consolidating his coaching position, and more importantly, considering the long-term development of Leeds United.

This sincerity, old Mr. Charles felt.

However, he did not immediately agree, but patted Heinrich on the shoulder: "Come and watch the game with me."

Heinrich nodded and began to rewatch the match for the second time.

You watched it from the fans stand. Although you can observe the situation of the whole stadium from the fans stand more macroscopically, it is still not as clear as the video playback.

Because it is already the second half, Leeds United's state is much better. It can also be seen from some close-up shots that the players are very excited.

This made Heinrich shake his head with a smile.

Capital really can drive everything.

Mr. Charlton asked in a low voice: "Are you going to draw lots tomorrow?"

"Yes, but this time I won't go in person, and let Mr. Byron take full responsibility for everything." Near the end of the season, Leeds United will face a third-line battle, which makes Heinrich have to avoid all off-field activities.

The lottery is actually a form, and it will not make your luck better just because a club sends a particularly heavyweight person there.

This draw is a competition between the four clubs. Recalling the previous draw process, Heinrich doubts that he will be targeted by representatives of Real Madrid and Manchester United...

After all, there are only so many choices, and it is easy to get out of anyone who is drawn.

Mr. Charlton didn't know what to think, he suddenly laughed, and said to Heinrich: "I haven't watched the game live for a while, I hope this semi-final will not disappoint."

Heinrich was vaguely aware of it, and asked tentatively, "How about leaving a VIP seat?"

"Okay." Mr. Charlton's tone was calm, his voice was indifferent, his eyes were still fixed on the TV screen, as if he had just agreed to a trivial matter.

Heinrich heaved a sigh of relief, today's trip was not in vain.

Then the two cheered for the goal together. Probably everyone who loves football will find the same happiness as a child when watching the game.

Unlike Heinrich's ease, Mr. Byron knew that he had accepted a very difficult job.

It was already a bit embarrassing for him to attend the press conference instead of Heinrich.

Those reporters' eyes seemed to be on fire, and none of the questions they asked was easy to deal with!

Mr. Byron is not like Heinrich, who is always calm and calm. He is a little irritable and needs Heinrich to comfort him most of the time.

Facing the media alone has already exhausted Mr. Byron, and now he has to replace Heinrich to come to the UEFA draw, becoming the focus of many people's attention, and it makes Mr. Byron feel that his life is bleak... …

"There is a camera on you." Nedved, who came with Mr. Byron, reminded him in a low voice.

Mr. Byron immediately straightened his back and tried his best to restrain all his expressions. His eyes looked forward and he could see that he was a little nervous.

Nedved found it interesting, but he was very considerate and did not irritate Mr. Byron any more. He looked around the field for a week.

Compared with the grand scene of the previous lottery ceremony, this time there were much fewer people.

Leeds United was extremely low-key. Except for Nedved and Mr. Byron, there were only a few staff members, and no one from the other high-level staff was present.

Real Madrid and Manchester United are different. Their head coaches have all arrived at the scene. Mourinho went to find Mr. Ferguson just now, and the two had a very in-depth exchange.

As for Marseille, the dark horse of this year's Champions League, all the meritorious players of the chairman and head coach are present.

But Leeds United does not lack the attention of reporters and media.

Not only because Heinrich did not come to the scene, but also because two head coaches made some amazing remarks before the game.

Both Mourinho and Ferguson mentioned the blond coach who was not present at the same time, and claimed that if their club met Leeds United, then it must be Heinrich's "curse" that worked!

Thinking of this, Nedved felt a little helpless.

He bumped Mr. Byron lightly with his shoulder, tilted his head slightly and asked in a low voice: "From yesterday to today, Mr. has not been interviewed by reporters, and I haven't heard what he said again?"

Mr. Byron's face was more confident: "Don't worry, this time, not only did the husband not say anything, but I also watched Kaka and Guti closely, and I didn't let them tweet. .”

For Leeds United, whether it is drawn to Real Madrid or Manchester United, it is a bad sign. On the contrary, if it is drawn to Marseille, the possibility of promotion will be higher.

This is a tacit fact. Marseille is a well-deserved gift package among these four teams. Whoever draws will be lucky.

Nedved muttered in a low voice: "What Mourinho and Mr. Ferguson said should be a lie."

Mr. Byron nodded approvingly. Apparently, these two people didn't know that his coach had a cordial and friendly conversation with Ferguson in private.

Mr. Byron, whose nervousness has eased a lot, also had the thought to chat: "Speaking of which, Redondo was originally coming together, did he have any delays?"

"To watch his son's game." Nedved smiled and gave an explanation, but he knew in his heart that this was not the fundamental reason.

Facing the old club on the field, you can't celebrate the goal. This is a respect for the old club.

When meeting people from the former club off the court, the players are fine with talking, but it is almost impossible to have no complaints about the senior management.

If Redondo had come to the scene, there would have been a very superficial greeting with Mr. Florentino who was not far away. After all, they were both adults, and the matter had passed for a long time, so there was no reason to tear up their faces.

But as a player, Nedved is very clear that a player will have no complaints about the club, and will obey the arrangement whether he leaves or stays, but for the person who sold himself, I am afraid that he will grit his teeth with hatred in his dreams.

Redondo will not complain about Real Madrid and cannot complain about Florentino.

The difference between one word, but the connotation is very different.

In order to maintain superficial friendship, you have to make a false gesture. This is the world of adults.

Obviously Redondo was not prepared to be too demanding on himself, and it was his choice to avoid this meeting.

Mr. Byron didn't understand the inside story, and didn't think too much about it. Soon everyone's attention returned to the lottery itself.

There is not much suspense in the draw this time. The four teams will face off in pairs, and if one pair is drawn, the other pair will be known.

The first club name to appear was Marseille, and their representatives didn't seem too nervous. For Marseille, no matter who they met, it would be a fierce battle.

Could it be that the remaining three clubs looked nervous.

Mr. Byron has been comforting himself psychologically——

Well, UEFA always likes to make troubles. Wouldn’t it be great to organize a special topic about Ronaldo going home?

Keep Marseilles to yourself!

Before Mr. Byron finished comforting himself, he saw the guest pull out another small ball, unscrew it, take out the note inside, and pointed it at the camera: "Real Madrid."

Mr Byron swore he heard Mourinho's hard-pressed laughter coming from the front row...

And this also means that the Premier League civil war will reappear.

Before Mr. Byron could figure out how to react, he suddenly heard a voice with a strong Scottish accent not far away.

On the scene, the Scot only had Ferguson.

This sentence gritted his teeth: "I'm going to Leeds, I'm going now! That kid don't want to keep a bottle of wine, take them all back!"
