Red Rebels

This was another rare sunny day, Xiao Yu came to the Newton Heath training base early.

The main body of the training building of the training base has been completed, and the rest is decoration and the introduction of equipment. As for the laboratory of the training base, it has already been put into use, and Xiao Yu has invested a lot of money one after another. Can't see much effect.

But this kind of research stuff is like this. When you deal with him every day, it is difficult for you to feel his role, but once you lose him, you will find that he is so important to you.

Is this a bit like Real Madrid losing Makelele?

"Morning, Xiao Yu!" Bruce arrived at the training base on time as usual.

As long as it is during the training time, Bruce will arrive at the training base on time, and then start to arrange the training content with the coaching staff, and at the same time arrange the training venue himself.

But today, he came to find Xiao Yu uncharacteristically.

"Morning, Steve, what's the matter?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile.

In Manchester, as long as he can see the sun, he is in a good mood.

"It's something, I think it's necessary to talk to you first!" Bruce seemed to want to laugh, but he couldn't.

"About the team?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile.

Bruce shook his head, "About the coach!"

"Oh, don't worry, I will start to expand the coaching staff and youth team coaches as soon as possible, but you know, this is not something that can be done overnight, you need to give me some time, you know, recently I am busy with the new stadium. matter."

With the improvement of the club's performance, many young players around have come to the club to sign up, hoping to enter the club for training. The new Manchester United will not refuse this, as long as they have a certain talent, they will be admitted.

In addition, the club also cooperates with nearby schools and sends coaches to these schools for football training, so that the club can also discover younger players from them and then cultivate them.

These are all part of the youth training system of the English team. Those who can really go to the Newton Heath training base for training are usually outstanding players among their peers, and the others are scattered in the school.

With the expansion of the new Manchester United youth echelon, the manpower hired by the coaches is getting tighter and tighter. Bruce mentioned to Xiao Yu before that the size of the coaching staff should be expanded and some youth team coaches should be recruited.

"No, Xiao Yu, I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about me!" Bruce hesitated, and finally decided to speak out, after all he didn't expect to catch Xiao Yu by surprise.

"About you? What's the matter, Steve?" Xiao Yu asked with concern.

"You know, in June this year, when I was on vacation, a League Two team contacted me, hoping that I could be their head coach, but I refused."

Xiao Yu nodded. Bruce had mentioned this matter during the chat, but Bruce had an agreement with Xiao Yu at that time that he would coach in the club for another year, so he rejected the other party's invitation.

Now that Bruce mentioned it again, Xiao Yu suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Did they find you again?"

"It's not them, it's Birmingham, you know, it's hard for me to say no to this club!"

After Bruce left Manchester United, he went to play in Birmingham. Later, he served as the head coach and became famous in this club. It can be said that in Xiao Yu's previous life, Bruce and Birmingham were inextricably linked.

It's just that he didn't expect that this club really came to him!

"Birmingham's performance in the League One has been very good in the past few years. In the past two years, they were almost promoted. Although this year's performance has dropped, the hope of promotion is still quite high. Are they planning to change the head coach at this time?"

Bruce shook his head.

"No, it's not now, it's the end of the season, whether or not Birmingham get promoted to the Premier League this season, they're going to change the manager, and they think I'm the right man for them, you know, they're tired of being in the Premier League for three years in a row. Just drop the chain at the door."

When Xiao Yu thought about it, he was right. For more than a year, Bruce’s achievements in coaching the new Manchester United were obvious to all. Although Xiao Yu’s signings played a big role in this, Bruce’s training was also very important. The new Manchester United have created a fearless iron-blooded army.

Anyone who has doubts should look at the new Manchester United's performance against strong teams in the past two seasons, as well as at critical moments. The most classic game in the first half of the season.

In that game, Bruce's tactics completely suppressed Kidderminster, which can better reflect Bruce's level.

"Half a year later?" Xiao Yu smiled wryly. He felt that he should thank Bruce at this time and tell himself the news half a year in advance so that he could be prepared.

Birmingham's sincerity to Bruce is unquestionable, and Bruce's affection for Xiao Yu is unquestionable. What should really be blamed is that the damn rules allow the new Manchester United to slowly climb up step by step.

If the new Manchester United were now a Premier League team, would Bruce still go?

"I know I'm sorry, Xiao Yu, but you know, I don't want to give up this opportunity, but you can rest assured that in the next six months, I will help you bring the new Manchester United to England C, and at the same time I will take As many champions as possible, that's my promise to you."

After Xiao Yu heard this, he smiled wryly.

"Steve, it looks like you've really made up your mind, so there's nothing to discuss?"

Bruce shrugged, "Although it's just a verbal agreement, you know, I won't break my promise!"

Yeah, Steve Bruce is not the type to break his word!

Talking here, Xiao Yu immediately knew that Bruce's determination to leave no longer needed to be retained, because he would not look back. Even if Birmingham did not change coaches at the end of the season and he lost his job, he would not stay in the new Manchester United.

He is so arrogant, he has long felt that the new Manchester United can no longer satisfy him, so even if Birmingham does not want him, he would rather lose his job and wait for the opportunity of a high-level team than lead the new Manchester United, one step at a time climb up.

The former world-class central defender keeps his eyes on the top of the league all the time. This is a real Steve Bruce!

Can you say he was wrong? This is his pursuit, and he is also very benevolent!

"I understand, Steve, I respect your decision, and at the same time I hope you can change your mind, even though I know it's unlikely!" Xiao Yu said with a wry smile.

Bruce smiled. He felt that Xiao Yu knew him quite well. If it wasn't for the low level of the new Manchester United, it would be really nice to work with Xiao Yu. players, while not interfering with the team's skills and tactics.

There are not many club owners like this!

"I hope you can keep this matter a secret, Steve, you know, I don't want the team to be distracted!" Xiao Yu said after thinking for a while.

Bruce nodded, "Don't worry, so far, apart from the boss in Birmingham, you, and me, no one else knows."

"I still want you to promise me one thing!" Xiao Yu suddenly thought of a very important thing.

"Well, tell me!"

"After the season, don't take players away from the team!" Xiao Yu stared at Bruce.

In the current new Manchester United club, there are not only young players such as Zikic, Krzynovic, Paulson, and Abidal who have shown outstanding strength, but also Essien, Messi, and Curti. Bruce and other promising future stars, with Bruce's familiarity and understanding of them, naturally he would not fail to see the talents of these players.

Xiao Yu managed the new Manchester United. It can be said that in terms of the team, he was completely relieved to leave everything to Bruce, so when Bruce decided to leave and change jobs to other clubs, Xiao Yu could agree, but he would not agree with him leaving the club. Poach the players brought by Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu would never do wedding dresses for others!

Facing Xiao Yu's gaze, Bruce obviously hesitated. It could be seen that he had a preference for many players in the club, and once he went to Birmingham in the British Championship, with money and a high salary, Xiao Yu was really worried. , Can these players withstand the temptation?

"I can only promise you, Xiao Yu, if I see a new Manchester United player, I will definitely discuss it with you as soon as possible. Unless you decide to sell, otherwise, I will not take anyone here!"

Xiao Yu smiled helplessly, he knew that it was not bad for Bruce to make such a promise.

When Van Gaal's contract with Ajax expired, he went to Barcelona and promised the chairman of Ajax that he would never take a player away from Ajax, but what happened? The De Boer brothers, Litmanen and others were brought to Spain in the season when he entered Barcelona.

In the previous life, the reason why Xiao Yu had always had a bad impression of Van Gaal, even though he had achieved brilliant achievements, Xiao Yu still didn't like him was because of his treachery back then.

But this is the reality, a reality that no matter how capable Xiao Yu is, he can't change it!

"Steve, I think next, the coaching staff should train Crouch's header more. In addition, I will talk to Professor Fryer and others, and try my best to help Crouch arrange a training program to strengthen his physical fitness." training form."

Bruce was taken aback for a moment, but soon understood, and nodded in agreement with some shame.

Zikic, this young Serbian and Montenegro player who has performed very well this season, is strong and tall, I am afraid that the new Manchester United will not be able to keep him. The only question is, after this season, will he be brought to Birmingham by Bruce? Or was it taken away by other teams at a high price?

At the same time, Xiao Yu had to think ahead of time about the candidate to succeed Bruce as the head coach of the team in half a year, as well as the possible troubles Bruce would bring after leaving the team.
