Football God.

Guti was stunned there at the time, unable to make any response for a while.

Heinrich didn't seem in a hurry, with a smile on his face, but his eyes never left Guti, as if he was waiting for Guti's response wholeheartedly.

Little Etock had come running in with Tom in his arms, his little face flushed.

But Tom was as calm as ever, and he was still a little kitten when he came here, but after Heinrich taught him to save the ball, the little kitten became longer and more domineering. Up to now, Tom's pair of The blue-green eyes are getting clearer and brighter, and you can pretend to be a lion with a hood.

But no matter how domineering he is, Little Tom is always unexpectedly gentle and tolerant when he meets a child. At this moment, the little guy obediently puts away the sharp nails on his paws, leaving only the soft nails. The meat pad was placed on Etok's shoulder, his head rested on Etok's neck, and his soft belly was unsuspectingly against the little golden wolf, very close.

The black cat, whose body temperature was higher than normal, was like a ball of fire. Etok ran into the sun room with a smile on his back.

"Papa, Thomas was so good just now, he saved me several balls!" Etok happily lifted up Tom to show Guti.

Guti reached out and took Tom, and little Tom glanced at him without moving, his eyes fixed on Guti's hair.

Probably Heinrich changed Tom’s aesthetics. Now little Tom has a surprisingly fondness for shiny things. It is said that the colors of objects captured by cats are different from those seen by humans, but little Tom is particularly fond of them. Blonde.

Even if it was the first time seeing Guti, little Tom didn't have any resistance, and obediently lay down next to the pillow of the recliner, poking the tip of the man's hair with the tip of his tail, maybe even pressing it with the meat pad Tired of playing, he yawned a little and lay down on his paws.

However, none of the three noticed Little Tom's small movements. Guti, who had been watching them play the whole time, was naturally proud of his child's shooting skills. Even if the opposite was a cat, he was able to hit the ball within the range of the door frame from such a long distance. It has already made Etok surpass his peers by a large margin.

Touching Etok's hair, Guti asked with a smile: "Why do you call him Thomas?" He clearly remembered that Heinrich said his name was Tom.

Little Etok scratched Tom's chin with his fingers, his glasses didn't look at Guti, and he had a bright smile on his face: "Uncle Ricardo said his name is Thomas."

Uncle Ricardo...Uncle Ricardo...

The surprise after being questioned by Heinrich just disappeared at this moment, and Guti can't wait to put his son on his shoulders and drop him directly back to Madrid!

However, Heinrich could feel Etok's sincere joy. After all, in Heinrich's eyes, Etok always had an innate arrogance, and he would never allow that kind of " Stupid" expression appeared on his face.

But ever since he saw Guti, the little guy immediately became happy like a little squirrel, which was enough to show that Kaka was right, Etok was indeed dependent on Guti.Heinrich also remembers clearly that Etok once said a word with his head held high when he kicked Guti.

"I, papa, of course the best player in the world!"

It's a pity that Golden Wolf probably hasn't heard Etok say it to his face. After all, the little Golden Wolf is a little guy with a harder mouth than his father.

Guti was still sitting there, the massage rollers were still massaging his leg muscles persistently, Etok sat on the sofa beside him, and fell asleep after a while.

Without waiting for the two adults to move, Tom jumped onto the sofa by himself, bit a corner of the thin quilt with his mouth, and pulled it up with great effort to cover the little Etok, who was rolled into a fluffy ball by himself. He stuffed himself into Etok's arms and fell asleep too.

"Etok is indeed an obedient kid with amazing talent. He will become the core midfielder of Leeds United in the future."

When Heinrich spoke, there was a faint smile on his face. This was not just to make Guti happy. For Heinrich, Etok was indeed a good young player.

And compared to his current striker position, Etok is more suitable as a midfielder, and the club is indeed training and demanding him according to a good midfielder standard.

Guti actually didn't care too much about Etok's position, or he had absolute confidence in Heinrich.

It's just that Guti has another opinion on this sentence: "Why can't he be the core of Real Madrid?"

Heinrich glanced at Guti, those beautiful blue-green eyes mixed with warm light in the sun, more gentle and amiable than usual: "He won't leave, and I won't sell him, I thought Etock had made it clear to you."

Yeah, yeah, to be clear, this kid nearly hugged his neck and yelled at him at Christmas so he couldn't get back to Madrid!

Thinking of this Guti felt even more awkward, Jin Lang sat there sullenly.

Heinrich measured his body and looked at him with his head propped up: "Why don't you try to come to Leeds United? If you want to leave Real Madrid, Leeds United is actually a good place to go, isn't it?"

Guti's breath was stagnant. In fact, he had never thought about the option of Leeds United before.

Anyone who says that the Golden Wolf will end up at Leeds United next season will probably think he is crazy!

But it seems that it is not good to refuse directly now. When Guti was looking for a suitable sentence in his head how to refuse tactfully without hurting feelings, Heinrich continued to say:

"By the way, do you remember the jersey of Leeds United? Decades ago, the chairman of Leeds United changed the jersey of Leeds United to pure white because of the excellence of Real Madrid at that time and the record he admired for Real Madrid. of."

……what?

"Our fan group is called the White Rose Army. During the game, the whole stadium is pure white, which is very beautiful."

Ok?

"If you don't mind, I'm going to return Etok's dormitory and let him live in Ricardo's house. You know, Lucado has a child named Luca, who is very cute. Etok should I’m very happy with my decision.”

=. =

Guti stared at Heinrich, and couldn't say anything angry at the man's smiling face. He could only grit his teeth and say, "Adrian, Etok is my son!" You are threatening, It's kidnapping!

Heinrich smiled and said: "You know I didn't joke with you, dear Jose, we can't let little Etok live in the dormitory all the time, he still needs the care of adults."

Guti stood up abruptly as if he was about to leave, but he heard a soft grunt from Etok in his sleep.

"papa..."

With this sound, Guti was fixed on the spot, and Heinrich behind him gave Etok a thumbs up in his heart.

Well done!

Looking at his son with a complicated expression, Guti walked over and sat down at the little guy's feet, lying on the sofa and staring at little Etok. Heinrich's voice was still as gentle as usual: "I I sincerely invite you, Jose, in my opinion, Leeds United has attractiveness and combat effectiveness, and you are also the player I need, maybe this will become a choice for you in the future, won’t it?”

Guti looked back at Heinrich with his arm resting on his pillow, and finally lost his anxiety. His expression told the German that he was thinking.

In fact, Guti rarely thinks about the future. Compared with those players who need to make countless choices about their career path, Guti's experience in this area is very scarce.

After all, Guti has only had two kinds of clubs in his heart since childhood.

One is called Real Madrid and the other is called other clubs.

Choosing to leave Real Madrid does not mean that Guti does not love it, it is precisely because of his love that he is willing to leave to make room for the future of Real Madrid, but his future is uncertain after deciding to leave.

In the past ten years, countless clubs wanted to poach Guti from Real Madrid, but they all received negative responses. This is a player who would rather sit on the bench in Real Madrid than go to other giants. In Real Madrid, Guti Dee has played too many positions, even as a guard. Apart from his passionate support, I really can't think of any reason for a forward player to play a guard.

It seems like every club has a diehard like that.

Gerrard is to Liverpool, Totti is to Roma, Buffon is to Juventus.

Guti, for Real Madrid.

One person is one city.

Just like Alan Smith of Leeds United, there are countless speculations about his career, but putting aside those prejudices and controversies, a person who is willing to sell himself to his mortal enemies for his beloved club, just to give the club the funds to survive , Such a player is almost declaring his loyalty with his career.

But now Guti is not the first choice of those rich teams. His position on the field determines that he has to support the entire club. In addition to physical reserves, he also has the inheritance of will.

No one can guarantee that Golden Wolf Guti can devote all his strength to clubs other than Real Madrid. Even if Real Madrid has not listed Guti now, everyone, including Golden Wolf himself, knows that there are probably no clubs that can show sincerity. There will be too many.

This is a player who is not good at choosing his own future. He needs others to push him behind, otherwise this person may even play in some unknown clubs!

This is not difficult to understand, after all, except for Real Madrid, all clubs look the same to Guti.

Heinrich made the invitation with sincerity, and he has full confidence in Guti's playing style.

In Real Madrid, Guti did not have a fixed position. He played as a forward, as a midfielder, and as a central midfielder.

As he himself said, he is loyal to Real Madrid, and he will go wherever Real Madrid lacks in the team, which is probably the best proof of this sentence.

Heinrich didn't just favor Guti because of his good relationship. What's more, he took a fancy to this person's ability to pass and pass the ball like an elf within a certain range!

Position is never important, imagination is the best proof of Guti.

But when Guti shook his head, Heinrich knew that he might not be able to get the result he wanted today.

"I can't answer you yet." Guti hesitated for a long time before speaking.

Heinrich had an "I understand" expression on his face: "You can go back and ask Raul, or ask Fernando, anyway, there is still half a season, I am not in a hurry."

Guti was punctured. Well, he knew that the two people he had the best relationship with in Real Madrid, Raul and Redondo, actually had a good relationship with the person in front of him.

Gritting his teeth, Guti didn't speak, and Heinrich thoughtfully ignored this topic and began to talk about other things.

It's just that occasionally, "the white jersey looks good" or "Ricciardo is a good man" seems to be mentioned inadvertently, which stirs the Spaniard's heart like a small feather, and silently shifts the balance in his heart.

When Etok woke up, Guti picked him up and took him to the bathroom to take a shower, while Heinrich picked up his mobile phone slowly and continued to chat with the Portuguese in Manchester by text message.

Ronaldo: 'Solved? '

Heinrich: 'Hmm :)'

Ronaldo: 'You seem to be in a good mood. 'Otherwise, this person never sends emoticons randomly.

Heinrich: 'Yeah, I can see the hope of double-killing Manchester United next season. '

Ronaldo: '...'

Heinrich: "If Leeds United can enter the Champions League and meet Real Madrid, they can probably try it too." '

Ronaldo: 'If you really draw together, it will be your fault. '

Heinrich: ':)'

===

Entering January, the various clubs in the Premier League also started the schedule of various competitions in the cold wind.

Because only England among the five major leagues has no winter break, which makes each team have to face multi-line battles without the European Cup schedule.

Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup.

The result of the accumulation of various events is that the whole month of January is like a devil, and the arrangement is very tight and airtight.

"If I can vote, I must vote for the FA." When the coaching staff and several captains had a meeting, the No. [-] captain Schmeichel couldn't help complaining.

Heinrich couldn't help frowning as he looked at the game schedule hanging high above the meeting room.

Leeds United used a rotation lineup for the cup matches. The League Cup is a combination of substitutes and main players to qualify for the knockout rounds. Heinrich didn't bother about this, he returned everything to After Makelele, the French arranged everything in order.

But what followed was the FA Cup match. Given that Leeds United did not qualify for the League Cup when Heinrich arrived last season, this was the first time Heinrich faced a domestic third-line battle. .

The semi-finals of the League Cup, the knockout rounds of the FA Cup, and the most important league.

"Boss, I have a suggestion." Makelele, who is the assistant coach and also the coach of the second team, raised his hand and said after getting Heinrich's nod, "After the winter break, there will be European competitions." With the addition of competitions, I am afraid that the team will often face the situation of double matches a week, can we... can we give up one of the competitions?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes focused on Heinrich.

In fact, it is not unheard of to strategically give up one or two lines in multiple battles. In fact, every team will face this situation.

Compared with the European war and the league, the domestic cup competitions, the FA Cup and the League Cup, seem a lot weaker.

Fortunately for the League Cup, since Heinrich has promised Leeds United's second team players, promising that they can achieve their own success in this competition, then he will not cut players on this front.

Compared with the League Cup, the winner of the FA Cup can qualify for the Europa League. This is how Leeds United qualified for the Europa League this season, but the current goal of Leeds United is to hit the Champions League. Guaranteed, then the Champions League seat is safe, and the FA Cup is not so important.

From a rational point of view, Heinrich hopes to get a good result in the FA Cup as the defending champion.

But in the long run, it is indeed a waste to spend the time and energy of the players on a game that does not bring practical significance. Heinrich thought for a few minutes and looked at the coaching staff and several captains: "If I choose to forego the FA Cup, do you have any opinion?"

Hearing Heinrich's words, everyone had a look of relief on their faces.

They are actually very afraid that Heinrich will still pursue the FA Cup, and they will not object, but correspondingly, they need to put in much more effort.

Especially Kaka, when he heard Heinrich's words, he felt rejoiced. After all, he still has to think about the next World Cup. As the absolute core player of this World Cup, Kaka understands His physical condition is likely to affect the performance and future of the Brazilian national team.

With the established strategy, Heinrich no longer hesitated. Since then, he has not made any plans for the FA Cup, and even the team lineup is a complete mix of second-tier teams and echelons.

There are many players of the right age, and it is good to take advantage of this opportunity to let them play games.

However, Heinrich did not delegate the on-the-spot command of the FA Cup to Makelele, but chose to play by himself. After all, most of them are young people, and they will not send any first-team players. Heinrich needs to be present Side, even just standing can give children some peace of mind.

At the end of the meeting, Mr. Byron did not leave the meeting room, but stayed and said to Heinrich: "Sir, we have reached an agreement with Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga. They are willing to sign Mertesacker Sold to Leeds United for 600 million euros."

This price is not expensive for the current market, but compared with the previous low prices for Premier League teams to buy Bundesliga players, Bremen definitely raised Mertesacker's worth.

Heinrich was not surprised by this time. After all, Leeds United is now well-known. The 8000 million purchase of Kaka brought not only monetary output, but also declared to the whole of Europe that Leeds United is not short of money!

Once this impression is formed, it is not surprising that many clubs will increase their prices when dealing with Leeds United.

But Mr. Byron obviously didn't just want to talk about Mertesacker. He turned off the video about Mertesacker on the big screen and turned on another one.

That name made Heinrich a little strange.

"Because the club didn't let scouts look at midfielders or attacking midfielders, some information didn't come back. But I watched a replay of their game when I went to Bremen. Sir, I think you will Want to see this player."

At the beginning of the video is the player's information, with a lot of words. What impressed Heinrich the most was the pair of very abrupt big eyes.

Chubby, very conspicuous on that not-so-big face, it made Heinrich instantly think of sea bream...

Or Nemo...

Heinrich, who had an instant impression of this player, did not speak, but chose to quietly watch the video on the big screen.

From the bottom of his heart, he is not looking forward to this player. After all, he has just read the information that the German player is a midfielder. Now he has the best midfielder Kaka in the Leeds United team. There doesn't seem to be much point in buying another one.

After all, Heinrich has to consider not only the interests of the club, but also the interests of the players. Buying players before the World Cup is a gamble. It is responsible for the players.

What's more, this is a player who has already been selected for the German national team. As a German, Heinrich will naturally not cheat his own national team.

But half an hour later, Heinrich was already standing in front of the screen watching, holding the remote control, and freezing a clip.

It was a battle of focus. Werder Bremen played against Bayern Munich. After the young German midfielder took the ball, he made a pass. The ball was like a scalpel and cut through the opponent's defense with precision, and passed to the striker!

Whether or not the goal will be scored is not within the scope of Heinrich's consideration. All he cares about is the German's performance.

"Mesut Ozil."

He whispered the player's name in his mouth, and Heinrich looked at the intense and dense schedule of the club next to him. Heinrich leaned against the table and thought for a long time, and finally looked at Mr. Byron.

"Go to the transfer department, we need to have another meeting."

The author has something to say:

Discussion about who Etok likes best

Guti: Of course I like me the most!

Etock: Well, yes

Guti: ...Huh?

Ettoker: Yeah

Guti: (Listen, the sound of flowers blooming!)
