Chapter 557 Five Months of Time and Forgiveness

Hearing his son's question, John Hall frowned slightly.

Although the green smoke was lingering, it was an unspeakable smell of disappointment, but it flowed out between the simple frown of the old jazz, like the cyan smoke after the cigar burned, quietly permeated the whole room... He stood up.

It seems to be thinking about something, slowly walking to the front of the window.

He stretched out his hand and opened the beige plaid curtains... It was late at night outside, but with the help of the orange halo of the street lamp, he could still see the old apple tree in the yard. I don't know when he had quietly turned out the tender little green buds... Hall couldn't help thinking of taking his wife when he was young. The scene when the son planted this fruit tree. 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 in winter... Thinking about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help outlining a soothing arc.

The look of disappointment gradually disappeared on his face.

After all, the person sitting in front of him is his only son... He turned around and looked at his only son for a long time and asked seriously, "Henry, what kind of person do you think the crazy Li is?"

"He?"

Henry thought about it seriously: "A magical, arrogant and sometimes rude guy who always does things unexpectedly... But in many cases, I have to admit that the method he takes can always achieve the most perfect effect!"

Hall smiled.

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

The old Jazz took another puff of cigar and said slowly, "I remember that when he first appeared in front of me, he shamelessly threatened to buy Newcastle with me, and also asked for a controlling stake in the team... However, the man I used to sit in my living room was a person who ran away from a mental hospital. The madman who came out... However, he finally convinced me..."

The scene two years ago came to Hall's mind.

He continued, "However, my son, in my opinion, 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 what you judge, the madman Li is a proud person in the first place..."

"A proud person always has his own principles..."

"So, you don't have to worry about what's wrong with Newcastle's current finances at all. You're worried that this is crazy Li getting rid of the burden..."

"A proud person like him can't do such a thing..."

"In fact, three consecutive issues of board reports show that Newcastle's finances are very healthy, even the healthiest club in the Premier League. It is slowly making a profit. As you said, there is unlimited room for appreciation..."

" As you asked, I don't know why he gave up his equity at this time... Maybe, for him, there are more important things for him than Newcastle to do... Or, he is 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, the madman Li is like a conscientious father who has already prepared everything for his successor in Newcastle. Son, as long as you don't make fatal mistakes, you will be the most glorious club owner in the Premier League in the next four or five years!"

At this point, John Hall took another sip of the cigar connected to the emerald cigarette holder, and the wrinkles on his face were like the lines of wisdom carved by the years. He suddenly and sternly warned his son: "At any time, I hope you can maintain a good relationship with the madman Li... to Floren, the president of Real Madrid Tino is better than Li, a madman 40 or 50 years younger than him, so no matter what happens, don't take the initiative to be his enemy!"

Henry nodded.

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

A few minutes ago, the disappointed eyes in his father's eyes. Although he covered it well, Henry was keenly aware of the passage of time.

About the end of the battle between Manchester United and Newcastle, the madman Lee returned to the chairman's box and what he said to Sir John Hall, the other major shareholder of the club, gradually became a puzzle that no one mentioned... The Premier League continued the four-nations, and Newcastle also won consecutive victories in the next Premier League. - Kill Everton 2-0 away from home.

Defeat Tottenham Hotspur 3:1 at home.

Defeat Aston Villa 4:2 away.

Three consecutive games of victories have made the Magpie Legion firmly bite the Blues Chelsea, who rely on the lead in winning goals, and retain the hope of winning the championship... The only thing that worries Newcastle fans is that in the penultimate third round of the away challenge to Aston Villa, the team's front line is gold. Partners Owen and Ronaldo were injured again!

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

The increasing age gradually makes their injuries more frequent.

Moreover, looking at the careers of the two, major injuries and minor injuries have never been broken. It is a miracle that they can be guaranteed to play more than 30 games in each season in these seasons in Newcastle... On May 8, Newcastle will go to Stamford Bridge to challenge the current leader Chelsea, which is an involvement. In the battle of Tianwang Mountain with thousands of fans around the world, the winner will directly win the Premier League in the 09-10 season, and the loser will soon be forgotten by history!

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

Rigecard has no other striker except for [mixed-race rice bucket] Gigi, unless the Dutch chooses to change the formation... However, the effect of the hasty change of formation is not good.

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

"Haha, Frank, I know who you came to me for..."

In the office, Li Tongfan held his chest and smiled proudly: "Don't worry, Frank, you will definitely get him before playing against Chelsea, I promise!"

Riekard breathed a long sigh of relief.

It is definitely a very easy thing to cooperate with the crazy Li, the chairman of a smart club who comes from the head coach.

At the beginning of this season, after accepting Newcastle's invitation, Rijkard was very worried that his coaching ideas would be inconcord with the madman chairman like the madman Li. He was worried that the madman Li, who was used to treating himself as the team's head coach, would interfere with the team's luck with his strong prestige in the locker room. I have the right to be the head coach... But now it seems that I think too much about everything.

Instead of interfering with his work in the locker room, the madman Li has always been very cooperative. Soon after he came to Newcastle, he quickly established his own authority... The two have been cooperating intimately!

As a head coach, isn't the expected environment like this?

Rijkard left the office with satisfaction.

However, before stepping out of the office, [Black Swan] did not forget to tell him: "Li, you'd better let him come to the first team to report 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 Chairman.

Li Tongfan leaned his hands on the window sill behind the work with his chest in his arms, and looked at the strong teenager of more than 109 meters in front of him with a serious expression. His eyes gradually became satisfied... The teenager in front of him has changed a lot compared with five months ago - his skin was tanned a lot, and it turned out that a ponytail could be tied out. Ba's long linen hair was shaved into a plate inch at this moment. Her hair stood up hard towards the sky like a fresh brush. The outline of her rough face was a little less frivolous and floating, and a little more firm and calm... This is exactly what Li Tongfan expected to see.

After a long time, Li Tongfan finally smiled.

"I'm very happy, Andy. It seems that you really understand what to do now. You are a real professional football player!"

Andy Carroll was still a little nervous. Hearing so much of the chairman, he was ecstatic. He looked up at Li Tongfan as if asking... Li Tongfan nodded for sure: "Yes, Andy, I think... Now you can report to the first team!"

Andy Carroll is excited.

For five months, for a whole five months, he said goodbye to the first-team game, away from the pursuit of the media and fans, silently followed the reserve team to train, and followed the reserve team to play the game that almost almost watched by the audience... For a 20-year-old shooter who became famous, these five months are simply Like hell, you should know that after the end of the season, it will be the 2010 World Cup in a blink of an eye. He, like many English players, is also eager to represent the English team in South Africa... During this period, Liverpool and other Premier League teams contacted him more than once in private, hoping that he Being able to transfer and guarantee that he can be given the main position after the transfer to help him enter the list of the 2010 World Cup in England and South Africa... However, Andy Carroll refused!

Yes, he longed for a main position, a starting opportunity for the first team, and a boundless appearance in the South Africa World Cup in the summer of 2010... However, compared with these, Carol has always felt that that that person's forgiveness for him is the most Important!

So, he persisted!

In addition to training silently and hard, Carol has been enduring the kind of life that is absolutely extremely boring for him in the past, rejecting his former friends, rejecting bars and beauties, rejecting media interviews, rejecting everything that has no light as football... After a long five months, Carol finally waited for What he wants most!

This teenager, who was 1.9 meters tall, didn't know what to say for a while.

Tears circled in my eyes, endured a few times, and finally flowed down... These are tears of joy!

It is also the tears of repentance and rebirth!!

At this moment, Li Tongfan was also moved by Andy Carroll's emotions. He gently came over and patted the teenager on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Andy, you are one of the most football-loving players I have ever seen..."

"... I know that you have already told Nasser, Steven and Juan, and they have forgiven you... Go ahead, the team needs you now. Stamford Bridge on May 8th will be your stage. Believe me, as long as you work hard, the World Cup may not be just one for you. It's just a dream!"
