Returning back to England

It has been a month since John met Dr. Mike, and his ankle has healed completely.

Dr. Mike was pleased when he reexamined John's ankle, and he gave him his approval to return to play football.

Right now John was in his brother's office drinking coffee.

"I never knew you established a company here in the US, Steve." John remarked to his brother.

His brother smirked when he heard this. He then changed the subject and said, "Tell me, John, what is your plan now? Are you going back to Spain to join another football youth academy"?

John shook his head and said to Steve, "No, I am going back to England, and I will join a football youth academy there."

Steve was surprised when he heard this at first, then he smiled and asked, "I see, are you going to join the Manchester United Youth Academy? It is your favorite club, after all."

John smiled at Steve first, and then he answered him, "I haven't decided yet, Steve. I will check which football club holds an open trial. This is the best way for me to join a football club because I don't have an agent yet."

Steve nodded his head in understanding and said, "I can introduce you to a friend of mine. He is a famous football agent, and in my opinion, he is better than Mendes."

John was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Who is this football agent Steve?"

Steve smirked and said, "His name is Mino Raiola."

When John heard this name, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and exclaimed, "I heard about him; he is the agent who represented Nedved."

Steve nodded his head to John and continued, "Not only Nedved, he also represented Thuram, Bergkamp, and many football stars. Now he is also representing the Swedish rising star Ibrahimovic, who is playing for Inter Milan."

Steve was shocked when he heard this, and Steve continued, "Since you are only 15, you can't sign a contract with him yet. If you want him to be your agent, I can sign him in your stead since I am your guardian."

John thought for a moment, and then he answered Steve, "I want to meet him first, big brother, before I decide. Give him my mobile number and ask him to meet me in London."

 Steve smiled in satisfaction and nodded his head. He then said to John, "Good answer, John. I know that you want to follow Dr. Mike's advice and recruit a fitness trainer and nutritionist, so I will transfer £100,000,000 to your account today."

John raised his eyebrows in shock and said urgently, "Wait a second. When did you become this rich, and why are you giving this much money?"

Steve laughed when he heard this and explained to John, "My investments in Spain and here in New York did very well. John, I was able to buy a baseball club when the financial crisis took place. I made a lot of money from my investment in the club."

John was shocked at first. He sighed and thought to himself, "Steve is a business genius; that's why when Dad was alive, he always appreciated him more than me."

Steve then interrupted John's thought and asked, "So when do you want to return to England? I can lend you my personal jet."

John smirked and commented, "I didn't know that you bought a personal jet, brother."

Steve smirked back and said to John, "You need to enjoy life, John. I am making a lot of money after all."

John laughed loudly when he heard this, then he answered Steve's question, "I plan on going back to England as soon as possible, Steve."

Steve nodded when he heard this, then he made a phone call. "Ronald, prepare the jet. I and my brother will use the jet to fly to London."

After Steve hung up the phone, he stood up, and John looked at Steve in surprise. He then asked, "You are coming too?"

Steve nodded. "I have some business in Manchester, so I'm going to accompany you to England, and then we will part ways when we arrive at London."

John nodded after hearing this, and he didn't ask any more questions. The two brothers then left together.

Next day

Steve and John arrived early in the morning in London. They had breakfast together. After the breakfast, Steve bid farewell to John and went to Manchester.

John booked a room in a hotel; after booking a room, he started walking around London aimlessly.

"The first thing I need to do now is look at which football club in London is going to hold an open trial; if there is none, I will look elsewhere," John thought to himself.

John noticed a post office nearby when he was walking. He then smiled softly when he remembered his childhood; he always begged his late mother to buy a lottery ticket when he was a kid because it was fun.

"Well, those days were the happiest time of my life." John thought to himself.

He entered the post office and bought a lottery ticket.

After buying the lottery ticket, he exited the post office while holding the ticket with a smile.

He then put the ticket in his pocket and said to himself, "Well, it is time for me to go to an internet cafe and check if any football club in London is going to hold an open trial soon."

John then started looking for an internet cafe; when he found one, he entered the cafe and started his research.

He found Tottenham Hotspur F.C. will be holding an open trial next Monday.

John smirked upon discovering this and thought, "I must be really lucky. I need to book a spot in this trial immediately."

John then filled out the open trial online application. After he finished filling out the application form, he submitted it.

John stood up, paid what he awed the cashier and exited the cafe after filling out the application
