Red Rebels

"Hello, Mr. Bart!"

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Xiao Yu!"

At the gate of the Newton Heath Training Base, Xiao Yu shook hands with FA CEO Assistant Bart politely, and then greeted the members of the inspection team who followed Bart, and then welcomed the guests in. the training base.

"Mr. Xiao Yu, I heard that this base has a total area of ​​165 mu?" Bart casually asked Xiao Yu who was walking beside him.

Xiao Yu nodded with a smile, "Yes, Mr. Bart, this has been recorded in detail in the city government."

"It must have cost a lot of money!" Bart said with a smile, not sure if it was a compliment or something else.

When I came to the temporary office building, I could see that there were infrastructure constructions all around. Among them, the training building would take at least a year to be put into use, and the training facilities such as the green belt fence and the standard field would take another one or two years. months.

This is also the reason why the training base cannot be put into construction until the end of the league.

"Or, I can show you around!" Walsh volunteered.

Bart nodded to the group behind him, and they all followed Walsh and Cassel immediately.

Xiao Yu invited Bart into the office.

"Mr. Xiao Yu is of Chinese descent?" Bart could tell when he saw the furnishings and layout of Xiao Yu's office.

Xiao Yu nodded, "My family has always had Chinese traditions. For example, I prefer to drink tea instead of coffee."

After the host and guest sat down, Bruce sat beside him.

"Frankly, Mr. Butt, we are all surprised that the FA has included our club in the shortlist for the recommended places this time. You know, we are just a new club that has just been established."

Xiao Yu expressed his doubts straight to the point.

"Although it is true to say so, we have also seen the strength of the new Manchester United. You performed very well in the Northwest Division 2 last year. You won the championship six rounds ahead of schedule, and broke the goals and conceded records of the 10th division. , At the same time, you also won the Challenger Cup of the Northwest Division League, and reached the third round of the FA Cup. Everything is amazing."

"Frankly speaking, Mr. Xiao Yu, when you decided to form the new Manchester United, none of us would have imagined that you would be able to achieve so many brilliant achievements in just one season!"

Xiao Yu smiled politely, "But this is only the tenth level league!"

"Of course," Bart also smiled, "Actually, last year, many Northwest Division Two teams reported to officials of the Football Association that they believed that the home game against the new Manchester United would put them under considerable pressure. Not just on the pitch, but off the pitch, they were a bit overwhelmed."

"For example, in the opening game of the Northwest Division Two, New Manchester United challenged Leake away. Clean up the stadium stands, and after that game, many second division teams had to pay a lot of money to hire a group of security personnel, and sometimes even the police, once they played against the new Manchester United at home.”

Xiao Yu felt helpless about this, because he couldn't say, so let's limit the number of fans accompanying the team to the away game!

"According to our survey, the average attendance rate of the new Manchester United at home last year was around 3,760. Even if this number is placed in the English Second Division, I am afraid that there are still many teams that cannot achieve this." Bart is not without admiration explain.

According to the information released by the new Manchester United, the number of official members of their club has exceeded 20,000, and the growth trend is very fast. Many of them are located near Manchester.

That is to say, there is room for the new Manchester United's home attendance to rise.

It is precisely because of this,

That's why Xiao Yu desperately wants to have a bigger home court.

"The FA's inclusion of the new Manchester United on the candidate list is a decision made after full deliberation. I hope you can think about it carefully." Butt suggested.

After the FA has listed the candidate list, it is customary to go to the team's home court and training ground to conduct some inspections. At the same time, the team can also consider whether to accept the football team according to its own situation. Total walk.

If you don’t accept it, you don’t need to continue with the next steps. Once you accept it, you will start a series of related reviews. In addition to the assessment of the team’s hardware and software facilities, what is more important is the financial situation reported by the team. .

…………

…………

After seeing off the inspection team, Xiao Yu and his party walked back to the office.

During this period of time, there have been many discussions surrounding whether the new Manchester United should accept the recommended quota.

Walsh fully supports and accepts it, because he feels that the team should have a better room for development, especially the current players of the new Manchester United are generally from high-level leagues, even in the National League. , if this is the case, then why continue to stay in the Northwest Division A?

Kassel is a firm opponent of the party. He believes that the team should move forward step by step. Once it enters the National League but is relegated, what should we do? Maybe he will be ridiculed at that time!

As for Bruce, he is a neutral party, and he thinks it doesn't matter whether he accepts or rejects it!

So, when everyone went back to Xiao Yu's office and sat down, they all looked at Xiao Yu again, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Frankly speaking, I mean, there is a lot of pressure!" Xiao Yu said with a wry smile.

He regards the new Manchester United as his own son. Although he knows that his son is a genius and very talented, when he hears that his son is going to be sent directly from elementary school to high school, I believe anyone will hesitate for a while.

"I asked a lot of fans in the bar last night, and they were basically divided into three factions. One faction agrees, the other opposes, and the last faction is neutral. It's the same as our current situation!" Walsh also smiled wryly.

This is a decision that no one dares to be careless about.

The new Manchester United's development momentum is very strong now, but once they are skipped and recommended, who knows if they will be relegated?

Once relegated, who can guarantee that the new Manchester United can regain its glory?

Xiao Yu glanced at the crowd, he realized that it might be difficult to find the answer from them, he could only rely on himself.

Five days have passed since I received the fax, and Xiao Yu has also thought about it seriously for five days.

As a traveler, Xiao Yu's biggest advantage is that he has more than ten years of football knowledge than others, including some unknown stars who will flourish in the future, so he found Evra and Messi.

But there are only these two players.

The former was found by Xiao Yu because he happened to be leaving Paris Saint-Germain’s youth training camp at that time and was about to leave football; the latter was because he was seriously ill, and Xiao Yu spent money to treat him, that’s all.

With the advent of the information age, there are fewer and fewer players like Ballack, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Klose who have improved themselves from low-level teams to become superstars. As professional clubs attach importance to youth training, good seedlings are generally It is difficult to fall into the hands of amateur teams.

Looking at it from another perspective, even Xiao Yu can't guarantee that once his team stays in the amateur league for a few more years, once Evra, Messi, Curtis, Ismail and others grow up, Being favored by a big club, can I still keep it?

Raul is loyal to Real Madrid because Real Madrid is a super giant, and Maldini is loyal to AC Milan for the same reason. If it is a low-level team, where can we find a standard-bearer who will be effective for life?

Sometimes, professional football is so cruel!

If Xiao Yu doesn't want to lose Messi and Evra in the future, then he can only keep upgrading. If he wants to upgrade anyway, isn't now a chance?

Xiao Yu's so-called greatest advantage will be less effective in the lower-level amateur leagues. If the new Manchester United is the Premier League team, Xiao Yu can guarantee that he can form a team with the ability to win the championship in one season. A strong team with great strength, but in the low-level league, Xiao Yu can't guarantee it.

It's not that he can't find good players, but even if he finds them, they won't come!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu took a deep breath, he felt that he had found the answer.

"In the past few days, I have been thinking, if we accept the recommendation of the FA, will we go to the National League to sneak back, or stay there, or even strive to win the championship?" Xiao Yu suddenly asked .

The three present all looked at Xiao Yu thoughtfully.

"Steve often lectured the players, saying that we must have the belief that we must win, so I also told myself that whether we stay in the Northwest Division League or recommend to the National League, we have only one goal, and that is to win the championship!"

Xiao Yu's words surprised all three of Bruce.

When they were thinking about this issue, they were always just wondering whether they could successfully relegation after being sent to the team.

The national league championship is a distant dream that is elusive for a semi-professional team that has just won the tenth division championship.

"A year ago, some people said that we were dreaming of setting up a club; later, some people said that it was a dream to run a club based on our fans; and later, some people said that it was a dream that we wanted to win the championship, but now? We The club is running very well, we won the title, are we dreaming?"

Xiao Yu stood up excitedly now, because he had just made a very surprising decision.

"If it's a dream, then I would say, let's make the dream bigger and bigger, preferably big enough to shock everyone, make all teams feel threatened, make them afraid, just like we It was the same way Arsenal were terrified at Highbury before."

As long as they think of that game, Bruce, Walsh and others are full of excitement. It was a game that was considered by the fans to be the best game of the season. The stadium has won the respect of the opponent, won the applause of the fans, and also ushered in its own dignity.

"Are you willing to accompany me in this dream?" Xiao Yu smiled and stretched out his hand.
