But now, when he heard his mother nagging in that unique voice, he felt it was the damn best sound he had ever heard...

Thank God, I still have a complete family!

※※※

After chatting about family matters with his mother on the phone, and incidentally learning a bit about the private life of this William Clark he had possessed, William Clark finally said goodbye to his mother, hung up, climbed back upstairs, and returned to his own room.

Sitting on the messy bed, William Clark was lost in thought.

This conversation with his mother brought back many memories of his own—memories from his previous life. Some were the same as those of this William Clark, while others were quite different. After all, they were two different people, even born at different times, with a full ten years' age difference.

Speaking of birth dates... William Clark suddenly remembered that his mother had once told him he almost had an older brother or sister—or rather, he almost got replaced by his older brother or sister.

Ten years before he was born, his mother had been pregnant once.

But in response to the national “late marriage and late childbirth” family planning policy, that child was aborted. At the time, his mother was only twenty-three.

Later, his mother told him that she had actually hesitated for a long time and suffered a lot before making such a decision—after all, it was a life.

After that, the couple got busy with work, and the idea of having a child faded. Although they tried a few times, they never succeeded, and the thought faded even more.

It wasn’t until ten years later, in 1982, that William Clark was born. By then, his mother was already thirty-three—a true case of late marriage and late childbirth... As for “superior birth and upbringing,” well, that was another matter...

So, why did this person have the same name as William Clark, and even look somewhat similar?

Perhaps it was because they were originally of the same root and origin, of the same family and bloodline...

In his previous life, his brother was gone, so he existed. In this life, his brother was born, so naturally, he himself was gone...

That’s why he crossed over into this person’s body, spanning thirteen years of time and space, from China in 2012 to Spain in 1999.

Maybe it was because, in this timeline, there was someone with the same blood, the same lineage, drawing him in.

That’s also why the previous William Clark didn’t feel any aversion to his possession, and even entrusted his most cherished things to him.

Because he believed in himself—they were, after all... brothers!

It was that blood connection that allowed the two to break through the barriers and constraints of time and space to meet, and it was also this feeling that made the older brother choose to believe his younger brother could help him fulfill his unfulfilled dreams.

So the younger brother came from 2012 to 1999.

As for the older brother?

William Clark raised his head and gazed out the window at the sky, lost in thought.

Did he go to 2012 to take his place, to be filial to the same parents?

He laughed.

My dear big brother, whom I didn’t even get a chance to greet, I hope that in a new environment, you can still stand out, just like you worked so hard to become a youth coach at Real Madrid. Gold will shine wherever it is, right? Help your little brother change the way others see him. Oh, and if that guy named Sullivan gives you trouble again, just hit him—I’ll take responsibility... I hope you inherit my fighting skills, you know your little brother has never lost a fight, ha!

As for your dream, just leave it to me!

Chapter 5: You Will Regret It Too!

The two brothers actually had the same hobbies and the same dreams, so it’s no wonder that even separated by different times and spaces, they were still brothers.

That day, William Clark didn’t go anywhere. He spent the whole day reorganizing the room, digging out many of his brother’s things, including several photo albums. Through those photos, he gained a more direct and clearer understanding of his brother’s experiences.

All the photos were group shots of him with players, or snapshots at various training grounds.

Other than football-related photos, there were no other pictures. There were none of him in front of historical sites or landmarks.

This guy really loved football...

William Clark sighed in his heart.

Maybe that’s why his brother didn’t resent him for taking over his body—because he, too, was someone who loved football deeply.

It’s just that his brother had the chance to become a coach, while he was only a fan.

But now he had also become a coach—albeit a fired one...

Now, what William Clark needed to consider was how to inherit and continue his brother’s dream, which was also his own dream.

If he could stay at Real Madrid, it would be a good thing for both of their dreams.

But in the end, he was still kicked out.

And most importantly, he had to become a qualified coach—a real coach.

His brother was, but he was not.

He didn’t even know how to train a team. Although he had been desperately observing and learning these past few days, his progress was limited—after all, the time was too short.
