Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 452 Busy Christmas
Beckham's injury was really serious.

When Wang and Li arrived at the Madrid hospital, they saw Beckham's right leg wrapped in gauze and fixed on the bed when they entered the ward.

Seeing this situation, Wang Li was very worried. He immediately called a doctor and asked about Beckham's injury.

"His calf muscle is torn and he needs to be hospitalized for observation for a period of time. It is initially estimated that he will have to recuperate for at least two months before he can return to the court."

The attending doctor, Mr. Fernandez, looked very worried. He continued: "However, he had an old injury on his calf. This injury is likely to lead to the recurrence of the old injury. He needs to recuperate here for a while. The specific recovery time is still unknown. Further observation is required."

After hearing this, Wang Li became even more worried.

So, the two walked into the room directly, and Victoria was also there. She was peeling an apple next to her, and when she saw Wang Li and the two walking in, she immediately greeted her to sit down.

Wang Li gave way, walked to Beckham's bed, looked at his gauze-wrapped legs, and asked, "David, how do you feel?"

Beckham's face looked good, and he didn't seem to be worried about his situation: "It's nothing, I just missed the game for two months." After speaking, he got up and patted Wang Li on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The ball The team's performance depends on you, and I want to win a European Champions Cup medal this year."

"Don't worry, David, there will be a chance."

Beckham nodded, took the fruit that Victoria handed over, pointed at the two of them, and asked, "By the way, when are you going to get married?"

Speaking of this, Wang Li had a bitter face.

After the game yesterday, Cole came to his house to visit Angela, and brought a Christmas gift from Earl Edward to the two, so he chatted with Cole, and then he realized that marrying the little princess of the British royal family is so important. trouble.

Originally, Wang Li thought that after meeting Earl Edward and Queen Elizabeth, the two could be free.But in fact, according to the traditional aristocratic etiquette of the British royal family, he had to visit many noble elders, such as Earl Edward's brother, Prince Charles, and so on.

After the unanimous consent of these noble elders, the two can officially become a couple, and then there will be a reception to let these noble elders bless them together.

Of course, it's okay not to do this, but without the blessings of these elders, there will always be something missing in marriage.

After the two get married, Queen Elizabeth will grant him a title, usually a baronial title.

Generally speaking, those who have contributed to the country or are very famous figures in the UK will be awarded titles by the Queen, but most of them are the lowest jazz titles, which are just a symbol, such as Ferguson's jazz title.

Baronet is a watershed. This kind of noble title is usually rewarded to British people who have made great contributions, or to members of the royal family. After marrying Angela, Wang Li obviously belongs to the members of the royal family.

The title of baron is not granted at will with the queen's consent. The permission of these noble elders is also very important, which has a meaning of blessing in it.

Up to now, although royal power is only a symbol, and the title of nobility is only an honor, but in the social circle of the upper class, a title of nobility is very important. If you don't have this title, you will be looked down upon by others. The title of nobility can be accepted by the upper-class social circle as a matter of course, this is the meaning of it.

Although Wang Li didn't care about this, for Angela's sake, he had to get the support of these noble elders, and if he could have a noble title, it would be very helpful for his future development.

After all, football cannot be his life.

However, Wang Li didn't make it clear in this regard, it was all his responsibility, and it was useless to complain helplessly.

After chatting, several people talked about Beckham's injury.

"When will the final diagnosis result come out?"

Victoria said worriedly: "The doctor said it will be a week later, I think this Christmas, we will spend it in the hospital."

Wang Li nodded, "Take good care of your injuries. With me here, you can rest assured of the team's results."

"Haha, I hope I can keep hearing good news. Alan, how do you feel about La Liga? There is nothing wrong with your appearance. You have performed really well recently, with consecutive hat-tricks."

"That's nothing." Wang Li said with a smile: "I think La Liga's defense is a bit worse than that of the Premier League, and Real Madrid is also very strong."

"Your strength is still strong. I used to think that a striker who can score goals every game is already very efficient, but after seeing you, I believe that football skills can reach this level." Beckham said. Mu felt a little sentimental, and said: "Hey, my condition is getting worse and worse. Maybe in a few years, I have to leave the green field."

Speaking of this topic, the atmosphere in the room became a little heavy.

Victoria took the lead and complained to Beckham: "I told you a long time ago that I would let you go to the American professional league. There is still a chance to enter Hollywood. With your reputation, there must be no problem."

Hearing this, Beckham frowned and said, "I don't want to tell you this, I only like European football!"

Wang Li nodded, he understood Beckham's mood very well.

In the past two years, Beckham's performance in the national team has become worse and worse. In a game last year, he missed a penalty kick. Jamie Carragher even had a big fight with him and reported in the media Accused him of being the 'pest' of the national team.

Although there are many personal factors in Carragher's accusation, it also shows that Beckham's performance in the England team is indeed not good.

For football players, previous injuries will always have an impact on their status. Beckham is such a person. As a representative of the England team, he has suffered too many injuries. This makes him nearly 30 years old. His condition declined rapidly.

However, his love for football cannot be compared with money or the future.

Victoria's suggestion is very good. If Beckham goes to the American professional league, he will definitely get a lot of money because of his reputation, but since then his football has changed. It is not passionate football, but performance. Just for fun.

This kind of performance can even be compared to a clown on the green field. People who really like football will not make this choice.

At least Wang Li will not, he would rather retire directly.

"We're going back to London in a while, and we'll see you again next week."

After they chatted for a while, Wang Li greeted Beckham and rushed to Madrid Airport with Angela.The day after tomorrow is Christmas, and the two need to get to London as soon as possible. After all, London is their real hometown.

However, this is for Angela.

In Wang Li's view, the distant ancient eastern country is his real hometown. Although he has no relatives there, the only relatives of his father, and he still can't find a hint of kindness, but that land can still let him know. A taste of home.

"Maybe when I get old, I will choose to go back there?"

Wang Li shook his head. There is a taste of his hometown, and he can really feel at home when he goes back once in a while, but if he lives there all the time, maybe he will miss Europe again.

After all, my hometown is my hometown, but it is not suitable for long-term residence.

After Wang Li and Angela returned to London, they went directly to visit Earl Edward, and then they went to Clackwell Road together to spend Christmas with Ellis and Wang Hai.

Although the two are not yet married, everyone regards Angela as their own family.

While having afternoon tea that day, Wang Li met his grandfather, Mr. Wilbur again. After two years of changes, Wilbur seemed to be much older, presumably because of his busy schedule.

However, when Wang Li saw him, Wilbur looked relaxed.

"I donated half of my shares to public schools in London to help them improve the construction of sports programs." Wilbur said with a smile on his face: "Now my shares are very small, and all the company's affairs are handed over to With other people taking care of it, you can enjoy your old age in peace.”

After hearing this, Wang Li had no expression on his face, but he was full of respect for the old man in his heart.

Wilbur has worked hard all his life and accumulated hundreds of millions of pounds in property. Half of his company shares are worth at least 3000 million pounds, because Wang Li is the only child of Ellis. Two years ago, Wilbur had been I want Wang Li to continue to study, and then help him take care of the company's affairs and inherit his property.

However, Wang Li did not agree, he did not want to leave football.

But now, seeing that Wang Li's ability is stronger than his own, Wilbur is so relieved that he is willing to donate half of the property he has earned in his life. I am afraid that the remaining half is only for Wang Li. Think about it, and be afraid that something will happen in the future.

This kind of practice and behavior is very common among the wealthy class in England, but Wang Li still couldn't help thinking of the practices of those rich people in his previous life. Those people would only leave their money to future generations, and even if they had money, they would not donate a single cent. , which is the difference between the two.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Wang Li. He is also very happy that Wilbur can enjoy his old age in peace. After all, this cheap grandfather is really good to him.

Christmas in London is lively.

The whole street is covered with all kinds of Christmas trees, with many gifts hanging on them. On this day, Angela actually pulled Wang Liwan to pretend to be Santa Claus to deliver gifts to the passing children.

Wang Li was also very interested in this idea, so he agreed.

The two bought a lot of exquisite gifts from a large toy center, put them on a street corner, and put on Santa Claus clothes to send gifts to the passing children.

This experience made Wang Li feel good, at least he did something meaningful.

Wearing Santa's clothes in the neighborhood, the two are not afraid of being seen through, but the news reporters who report on Christmas still approach them and ask questions about the reasons for giving out gifts and so on.

This made Wang Li very embarrassed, because he didn't want to reveal his identity.

"We are voluntary. I hope to bring joy to the children in London. Yes, that's it." Facing the reporter's interview, Wang Li said.

In fact, the two were just doing a romantic thing.

When the reporter asked them to take off their hats, both of them shook their heads, knowing that this would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

Even so, they made it to the evening's premiere news on BBC Radio Television, a program about Christmas celebrations, in which the reporter described the duo as the only 'Santa's' in London with no purpose or identity.

However, not long after this column aired, a fan in London posted a post on the BBS sub-column of BBC Radio and Television—"Reveal the true identity of the unknown Santa Claus——Alan Wang!"

Due to the appearance of Wang Li's name, this post attracted the attention of many people in an instant. Another reason is that the reason for this post is very clear, which is a pair of shoes.

In the interview broadcast by BBC Radio and Television, the Santa Claus on the left was wearing a pair of Nike's new 'Allen style' casual shoes, which were specially designed and made by Nike for Wang Li in December. According to reliable sources, the commemorative edition of the sneakers will not be officially released until February.

So where did this 'Santa Claus' get these shoes.

These English people don't think about "piracy". It is really rare to see fake and shoddy goods in the UK. At least this kind of goods cannot be bought in London. European laws severely crack down on "counterfeiting". For a little profit, I dare not fake it at all.

In fact, this style of shoes has already been sold in shopping malls in the ancient eastern country, but the British can't buy the same style of shoes at all. After all, Nike has not officially released them. This is the "gap" between Europe and the East. .

These have nothing to do with speculation. In short, after watching the BBC TV program, many, many British people believed that Santa Claus was Wang Li, and the other Santa Claus with a female voice was of course the little princess Angela.

"Alan did a public welfare work at Christmas, but he refused to give his name. His behavior is in stark contrast to some stars and stars who do public welfare work for fame. I think we can also learn from this. It can be seen that Allen's success is not only convincing in football skills, but also convincing in other aspects." One day after Christmas, BBC TV seemed to be reporting with conclusive evidence.

At this time, Wang Li and Angela had already started their 'visiting trip'.

They did not go to visit Queen Elizabeth, because during the Christmas period, the queen needs to participate in many related activities, so they can only visit Prince Charles.

Prince Charles, 57, is the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

Like Earl Edward, he is also a soldier and served in the British Navy for six years in his early years. He is also the first member of the British royal family to receive a bachelor's degree.

In 1952, Prince Charles was created Duke of Cornwall and later Earl of Carrick, Baron Renfrew, Isles of Scotland and Lord Great Steward.It wasn't until 1958 that he was named Prince of Wales (a title reserved for the heir to the British throne during his reign) and Earl of Chester.

Now, Prince Charles is very happy, because on April 4 this year, he just held a low-key wedding with his lover Camilla, who has been in love for 9 years, at Windsor City Hall in a civil registration way. It is worth mentioning that Queen Elizabeth also Pray for them in church.

Undoubtedly, Prince Charles is a supporter of free love.

In the early years, the royal family designated his wife Diana for him, but their marriage was not happy. Although they gave birth to Prince Harry and Prince William in 1982 and 84, the two soon separated.

With this background, there is no pressure on Wang and Li. They are also in free love. Presumably Prince Charles has no reason to object.

Sure enough, the visit went smoothly.

Hearing that Wang Li and Angela were coming to visit, Harry and William were very happy. They also came to Charles's manor that day. The purpose was to meet Wang Li. Yes, they were also fans.

So, several people had a very friendly exchange, during which Prince Charles also congratulated Wang Li and Angela on their happiness, and said that on the wedding day, he would definitely attend the church ceremony.

The attitude of Prince Charles made the two of them heave a long sigh.

Among these aristocratic elders, Prince Charles is the most influential, because he is Angela's uncle, while other royal elders have no reason to object to their marriage. After all, the relationship is not so close, and they will not Really do something about it.

Now, it seems that only Queen Elizabeth's hurdle is left on the road to marriage.

However, Angela is very confident about this. She grew up in Buckingham Palace since she was a child, and she is the most beloved granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth. With this relationship, for Angela's happiness, Queen Elizabeth really has no reason to object.

After a three-day visit, the two returned to Madrid after a two-day rest in London.

For a player, La Liga is indeed more comfortable than the Premier League. At least there is a winter break for Christmas. Thinking about last season, Wang Li was even busier during the Christmas period. It is absolutely impossible to have so much free time Yes, this is all due to the rules of the Premier League.

At this time, the winter break of La Liga has passed for more than a week, and it is time for them to return to Madrid.

On the day they arrived in Madrid, Wang Li and Angela went to the hospital to visit Beckham. He was really worried about Beckham's injury. As his good friend, Wang Li didn't want Beckham to miss out because of the injury. The World Cup in Germany, in that case, will definitely be a heavy blow to Beckham.

Perhaps this is Beckham's last chance to participate in the World Cup, and if his injury cannot heal, then no matter how much McLaren trusts him, it is impossible to call him into the England team.

"how is the situation?"

As soon as he entered the hospital, Wang Li did not go directly to Beckham's ward, but found Dr. Fernandez to inquire about the situation.

"The old injury relapsed, the foot muscles recombined slowly, and the muscles and bones were strained. It is initially estimated that he will have to recuperate for at least 6 months, at least within half a year. It is impossible for him to step into the green field."

What Fernandez said made Wang Li's heart sink. He didn't want his good friend to encounter such a situation.

Six months!
After such a long time, even if Beckham returns to the green field, his state will definitely be affected. No matter how famous he is, it may be difficult for him to enter the England team, and even if he enters the England team, if he wants to It's almost impossible to do something.

Before seeing Beckham, Wang Li knew that he must be extremely depressed right now.

"Do you really want to try?"

Standing at the door of the ward, Wang Li said silently in his heart, and then said to himself, "Let him decide for himself."
