Chapter 1233. Please Continue My Dream for Me!

In the ward, the air became quiet. Southgate looked at Alison sitting by the bed and suddenly smiled.

Alison was stunned: "Gareth, why are you laughing?"

"When they were all in the room just now, I was still sad because I couldn't lead the team to the World Cup, but now that it's quiet, I suddenly feel a lot more relaxed."

Southgate said, his eyes full of relief.

"Now that I'm lying here, what else can I think about? I've been depressed and sad, holding myself back? I don't think it's necessary. This group of young players is very good. No matter who takes them to the World Cup, they will perform well. I'm sure! Since it's fate that makes me lie down, I won't struggle."

Alison didn't speak. She wanted to see something from Southgate's face, such as whether Southgate was really relieved, or whether he was comforting himself.

But Alison saw nothing.

Southgate said softly: "Go and see what Kim Tiger is doing outside, and then invite him in. I have something to do with him."

Alison nodded, and he found Jin Taige on the seat next to the door.

"Coach Tiger, Gareth is looking for you."

Jin Taige raised his head, and Allison found that there was also a hint of sadness on his face.

"OK."

Jin Taige walked into the ward, but Alison did not go in. She closed the door from the outside, leaving space for the two men, and then sat where Jin Taige was sitting just now, silently in a daze.

Kim Tiger sat next to Gareth. He opened his mouth and was about to say some comforting words, but before he could say anything, Southgate spoke first.

"Tiger, I want to ask you a favor, can you?"

Jin Taige was stunned, and he did not hesitate: "No problem! As long as I can do it, I will do my best!"

"I knew you would agree." Southgate smiled. He moved slightly to move his numb legs. "Tiger, I have been thinking about the World Cup for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be like this." It’s such a shame that it’s shattered.”

"Well...you don't need to comfort me first, please listen to me. When I learned about my illness, I was very sad at first. I was even annoyed why I didn't wait until after the World Cup to find out about my illness?"

"But I thought about it carefully, maybe this is God's arrangement. God wants us to trade the World Cup for life and time in the future. He must want to do it for my own good. You must think so, right? "

"I am very calm now, lying here with great peace, waiting for everything to come. Maybe it is a good thing, who knows for sure. Whether it is for my personal health or for the England team. Maybe another person leads the England team. , can make the England team perform better, who can say for sure."

"Tiger, although we have known each other for a long time, we have not been together for a long time. I only know you from your performance in leading Manchester United. I am still a little unfamiliar with your personality and character. But The conversation between the two of us this morning made me feel very close to you!"

"This morning, you said that your dream is also to win the World Cup. At that time, I felt that life was really amazing. It was really an unparalleled luck to meet someone who had the same dream as me. I even saw us at that time The image of winning the World Cup together! Only a few hours have passed.

Those images will never be realized..."

"I just told you that I wanted to ask you for a favor. Now I want to confirm again. Can you agree to it?"

Jin Taige nodded firmly again: "No problem!"

Southgate had a serious look on his face. He struggled to get up from the bed and even pulled the infusion line, with a slight expression of pain on his face. But Southgate didn't care. He stared into Kim Tiger's eyes and said extremely seriously: "Tiger, I want to ask you to continue my dream for me!"

Jin Taige didn't understand: "Continue the dream?"

"That's right! I want to ask you to take over the England team instead of me, become the new coach of the England team, lead this group of talented young people to Russia, lead them to win the World Cup, and win the whole world!"

After Southgate said this, the room was quiet for nearly two minutes without anyone speaking.

After a while, Jin Taige spoke slowly, with a very complicated expression: "Gareth, I just promised you that as long as I can do it, I will help you do it! But this matter is not I can make the decision."

"Gareth, don't get excited. Listen to me explain to you. If I were a free agent now, I would agree to you without hesitation, but I am now the coach of Manchester United, and I have signed a lifetime contract with Manchester United. Unless Manchester United decides to break up with me, it is absolutely impossible for me to leave Manchester United!"

"The England team is in a special situation now. You have been changing between old and new in the past two years, and you have just completed the upgrade of the team. These young people need a stable head coach and a long-term growth plan, so that they can England are getting stronger!"

"If possible, I think you should choose a coach within the team to take over your position. They are more familiar with these players. Otherwise, the Football Association can also consider some famous coaches who do not have contracts and let them become the England team. For example, Professor Wenger does not have any contract now, and his many years of coaching Arsenal have made him very familiar with the players of the England team. If he leads the team to Russia, I believe he will get good results. !”

"No matter what choice the FA makes, I believe it will be much better than mine. I am just a temporary technical consultant and I have a contract. It is really difficult for me to shoulder your trust. I am really sorry."

After being rejected by Kim Tiger, Southgate was not in a hurry. He seemed to have considered this situation in advance. He continued: "Tiger, don't you also have a contract with Manchester United now? You still come to the England team."

"My technical consultant is just a temporary contract..." Jin Taige explained.

"Then you will become the interim coach of the England team. After leading the team to the World Cup, you will return to Manchester United. How about this?" Southgate said decisively.

"This..." Jin Taige was stunned for a long time, not knowing how to answer, "Ignoring your and my personal wishes, the Football Association may not agree with this temporary coach alone, right?"

At this moment, the door to the ward suddenly opened, and Jintiger and Southgate heard a word come in before they saw the person coming.

"The FA agrees!"
