Red Rebels

Since it was an internal training match, no referee was arranged and the score was not calculated, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the team headed by Keane and Giggs was clearly ahead, at least Giggs scored alone. Hit five or six goals.

After playing a training game, the players all scattered aside to rest, drink water, and there are training tasks waiting for them later.

"Hello, Xiao Yu!" Keane and Giggs walked over side by side. For professional players, this kind of training game is not very intense, and it is like walking in a garden.

"Hello, Roy, Ryan!" Xiao Yu greeted them with a smile, and then introduced Messi and his son beside him.

"Messi, do you want to sign?" Xiao Yu asked coldly.

Messi froze for a moment, then quickly came to his senses, nodded vigorously, then scratched his head in distress, and faltered, "I...I didn't bring my autograph book!"

After hearing this, everyone suddenly burst into laughter.

"What's your name?" Giggs walked a few steps forward, squatted down, and asked.

"Leo Messi!" Messi replied tremblingly. He never dreamed that those superstars on TV would appear in front of him, and even squatted down to talk to him.

"Oh, Leo Messi, I remember! Are you a player?" Giggs asked again.

Messi looked at his father, Jorge nodded, and he nodded immediately, "Well, yes!"

"It seems that you should have outstanding skills, but your body is a bit thinner. If you want to become a professional player, you need to exercise more and make yourself stronger!" Giggs encouraged with a smile.

Being encouraged by Giggs, Messi nodded excitedly.

"Playing football in England, you can't do without your body!" Keane said seriously.

Xiao Yu nodded. He knew this better than anyone else. For example, Veron, the white wizard's skills are beyond doubt, but it was because of his lack of physical confrontation that he was unable to integrate into Manchester United, and was finally approved. High-priced parallel imports.

"Roy, are you scolding Ryan? His physical fitness was not good back then!" Bruce walked over with a smile.

They are old acquaintances at Manchester United, and Bruce is their leading brother, so when he spoke, Keane and Giggs didn't say anything more.

"But Roy is right. You should pay attention to this aspect." Bruce also knew about Messi's physical problems, so he reminded Xiao Yu cautiously.

The latter knew that the vision of these professional stars was sharper than his own, so he humbly accepted Bruce's proposal.

"Or you can try to control your diet. I have a friend in Manchester who is a dietitian. You can ask him for help. I have tried it myself and the effect is not bad!" Bruce continued to recommend.

"Alright, you can try it! I plan to find an opportunity to take him to Manchester Royal Hospital for a detailed physical examination in the next two days. In addition, I also have his physical data from the past year or so here. It should be able to Find the most effective and reasonable treatment plan."

Xiao Yu smiled and agreed, asking for a call from the diet and nutrition expert.

"Then you are right to find him. He is an authority in this area and has many friends. Ask him to introduce a reliable expert." Bruce said with a smile.

Jorge on the side was moved when he heard it. These were just the first time they met, but each of them was very concerned about Messi's condition, for no other reason than because he was a new player signed by the new Manchester United.

This had to make Jorge feel that signing the new Manchester United was really the right step, especially when he saw Xiao Yu's concern for Messi, which made him believe in his decision even more.

"Steve, that Evra, what do you think?" Xiao Yu asked Bruce after asking Walsh to take Jorge and his son around.

"The speed is very fast, some basic skills,

Can be qualified for the main force of the amateur league, or the substitute of the low-level professional league. Bruce thought for a while and said.

Xiao Yu was secretly shocked that the future world-class left-back was said to be like this, but after thinking about it, it is no wonder that Evra is indeed very ordinary now. Apart from speed, he really doesn't have many other specialties.

"I don't think he is suitable as an attacking winger. His skills are a bit rough, and he is a little hesitant when passing others."

In this training game, Giggs and Evra are in the same position, so he is also a member who has the right to evaluate.

"Well, my suggestion is, can he move his position back and become a left back, you know, our team also lacks a left back now." Xiao Yu suggested.

In terms of team tactics, he will put forward his own opinions, but the decision is still made by those experts, that is, the team's head coach.

Of course, Steve Bruce is not yet the head coach of the new Manchester United, but it should be said that he is slowly falling into the trap set by Xiao Yu and cannot extricate himself.

"His running ability is good, and he has a lot of fighting spirit, and he is young. It is not bad to be trained as a left back." Keane also expressed his opinion.

After hearing this, Bruce nodded, apparently accepting everyone's opinions.

It was only then that Xiao Yu realized why the head coaches like to have their own coaching team, because they also need to find someone to discuss and help them, but now the new Manchester United has only Bruce.

Coaching staff, scouts, staff, these are the key links that the new Manchester United will add next.

Of course, these also require funds.

Xiao Yu suddenly wished that the World Cup would be over as soon as possible, so that his own funds would be in place as soon as possible.

With money, it will be more handy to do things!

"By the way, Andy approached me before, asking if I want to arrange some warm-up matches, what do you think?" Bruce suddenly remembered.

"A warm-up match?" Xiao Yu frowned.

"Well, this is the first game since the establishment of the new Manchester United!" Bruce said cautiously.

After thinking about it for a while, Keane suggested: "Why don't you play with Manchester United, and Ryan and I will go back and discuss with the old man."

"Will he?" Bruce asked.

"Should be, he had a big fight with the board of directors about Xiao Yu's establishment of a new club before, and later said that the establishment of the new Manchester United was forced out by the gangsters of the board of directors. warm-up match."

Unexpectedly, when Keen said it, Xiao Yu immediately vetoed it.

"No, if I want to play against Manchester United, then I hope it will be in the Premier League, or in the FA Cup, League Cup, rather than a warm-up match, because I believe that it will definitely be a record in the history of Manchester United and the new Manchester United. A legendary game! Besides, now is not the time for us to challenge Manchester United!"

Both Keane and Giggs were a little surprised. Xiao Yu's attitude made them feel strange. Could it be that he had resentment towards Manchester United because he established the new Manchester United?

But after thinking about it again, Keane and Giggs couldn't help but understand that Xiao Yu didn't hate Manchester United, but the guys who brought the bad money into Old Trafford, so he stubbornly wanted to use his own way to prove yourself right.

It was the first time Keane and Giggs agreed with someone who wanted to beat United.

"Let's play a game with Droysden, when their team gathers for training!" Xiao Yu suddenly suggested.

The three of Bruce were taken aback for a moment, but they soon understood Xiao Yu's intention. He was expressing his gratitude to David Pace in this way.

"Good guy!" Keen patted Xiao Yu's shoulder vigorously. Obviously from this moment on, the name Xiao Yu appeared in his friend list.

The same goes for Giggs.

No matter who the opponent is in the warm-up match, Bruce will have no objection, let alone Droysden.

After finalizing the object of the first warm-up match, it is natural to finalize a few more warm-up matches to prepare for the new season's Northwest Division B League, Division B Northwest Division League Challenger Cup, and of course, Xiao Yu's Dream City. I dare not say that I can win the championship in a few years, the FA Cup that all English clubs can participate in.

"It seems that I don't expect to compete with you this year, Steve!" Keane shrugged and said regretfully.

Although the new Manchester United has registered for the FA Cup, as a Premier League team, Manchester United will start playing directly from the third round of the FA Cup, but as the tenth level, the new Manchester United must start playing from the initial preliminaries.

No matter how strong the new Manchester United is, they can pass the preliminaries and the four qualifying rounds, but in the first round of the main match, with the addition of professional teams such as England B and C, it is almost impossible for the new Manchester United to pass this hurdle , let alone eliminate two consecutive rounds of strong teams to enter the third round, and then have to be lucky to meet Manchester United.

"That's not necessarily the case, who knows what happened on the football field?" Xiao Yu retorted with a smile.

"Xiao Yu is right, not necessarily!" Bruce also booed.

Now Bruce has increasingly regarded himself as the head coach of the team.

…………

…………

The sun was setting, and the setting sun dyed a large area of ​​the western sky red.

Keane and Giggs walked out of the Butcher's Knife Stadium, looked back, and found that Bruce was still on the pitch directing the new Manchester United players how to cooperate, how to pass the ball, even the smallest details.

"It seems that he is going to coach this team!" Giggs said with a smile.

"Of course, otherwise he wouldn't have called us to help him teach these players a lesson, but he will definitely be an excellent head coach!" It was obvious that Keane was convinced by Bruce.

"Why?" Giggs wondered Keane's affirmation.

"You will know later, this is not an ordinary team, a group of fanatical fans, a strong and good head coach, coupled with a persistent and ambitious owner, this will become a frightening team. team!"

"But it should be impossible to be promoted to the Premier League within at least ten years!" Giggs sighed regretfully.

A trace of resentment flashed in Keane's eyes, and he could naturally hear what Giggs meant, that is, modern professional football is no longer just football, but also money.

A club's promotion depends not only on its competitive performance, but also its financial resources. Any football giant in the world is rich and powerful. Therefore, with the process of professionalization, although there are still many poor teams that can suddenly rise, It became a dark horse at once, but it was quickly exposed for the simple reason that the players were poached and the funds were short!

This is still compared to those low-level professional teams. It is conceivable that as the new Manchester United at the bottom of the English league, it is undoubtedly more difficult than reaching the sky if they want to upgrade and enter the Premier League.

"However, from those reveling fans, as well as Xiao Yu, Bruce and others, I saw the pure Manchester United again. Ryan, don't you think that Old Trafford is much quieter now?" Keane's words were full of sarcasm.

The increase in ticket prices has driven away those real fans who like to watch football, but has attracted more fans who don't understand football at all, and don't like to watch football. False fans with steak, which is why Old Trafford is getting quieter.

Does football have to be so complicated? Can't it be simpler?

PS: I suddenly wondered, what kind of scene would it be if the new Manchester United appeared at Old Trafford?
