Red Rebels

November is a rainy season in the UK, the temperature is not low, but the rain is very cold, just like the water sprinkled from the sprinkler in the garden, it is cold on the body, and people can't help but feel a wave chill.

On the training ground of the first team at the Newton Heath training base, all the players persisted in training in the mud. They were still hardworking and tenacious, and even made some intense moves from time to time. It is very common here, and everyone is used to it.

Mourinho stood on the field with a cold face, next to his assistant Faria, he would blow the whistle in his mouth from time to time, and then call the game to stop, indicating how the player passed the ball just now, run how how.

The game in October was quite tense, because there was an extra Pioneer Cup, and the participants in this cup were all professional clubs in League C and League Two. The FA Winners Cup is different. The Pioneer Winners Cup teams can get a corresponding bonus every time they advance to a round. The minimum is a few thousand pounds, and the highest reaches the North-South Championship finals, and they can get a bonus of 40,000 pounds. The promotion bonus is still very considerable.

For this money, the new Manchester United did not value it very much. In addition, the league fell behind, so Mourinho focused more on the English League C. Eliminated by Notts County from League Two.

However, in the English C League, the new Manchester United achieved 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in five league games in October. In this way, the new Manchester United scored 10 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in the first 16 rounds of the English C League, accumulating 33 points Ranked 4th in the League C League standings, Brighton with 38 points is even better than the new Manchester United, followed by Cardiff with 36 points and Blackpool with 34 points.

After entering November, the schedule is relatively easy, especially the new Manchester United has been eliminated in the Vanguard Cup, which makes them only need to deal with three league games and the first round of the FA Cup throughout the month.

But this does not mean that the schedule of the new Manchester United is very easy, because in their three league games, two of them are against their direct opponents who have been promoted, that is, they will play against Brighton at home on November 11th on Singles Day, and on November 21st. , the 19th round of the English C League, the away game against Blackpool, and the middle opponent challenged Essex away.

In this way, the November game of the new Manchester United is very important. Whether they are opened up by their competitors or reversed, and they will directly climb to the top three in the league depends on these two strong dialogues.

But when Mourinho was nervously preparing for the game, two generals in the new Manchester United team were suddenly poached.

…………

…………

Xiao Yu braved the pattering rain and came to the training field of the first team. He looked up at the sky, it was a little dark, but the players on the field were training very hard.

Since the drainage facilities of the training ground at the Newton Heath Training Base are still being perfected, the training ground looks very muddy. After seeing this, Xiao Yu frowned deeply. He felt that he had really lacked consideration in this regard.

But it’s no wonder that he has never had experience in this area, and when the club is developing vigorously, other people are also busy with their own things, and it is inevitable that there will be some negligence, which leads to the imperfect drainage facilities of the training ground. Yu decided to improve as soon as possible after the end of the season.

In addition, the matter of the indoor training ground should also be put on the agenda. After all, in this rainy day, if there is an indoor training ground, the players will be much more relaxed.

The 90 minutes of intense and intense training was over. The players came down from the training field panting heavily. When they saw Xiao Yu standing on the sidelines, some greeted him from a distance, while others came over.

"Boss, you're back!" Curtis stepped forward with a smile.

He's almost 16, taller and more muscular than ever, and he's been doing well in the youth teams as captain of the new Manchester United youth team,

This season, he was promoted to the reserve team by Mourinho, trained with the first team, and represented the team in reserve team games.

By the way, only professional league teams can participate in the reserve team games, so when the new Manchester United was in the National League, players could only participate in the under-19 youth team games, which is different from the reserve team games language.

Xiao Yu smiled and patted Curtis on the shoulder. He watched this kid grow up with his own eyes. Now he is even taller than Xiao Yu. The most rare thing is that he has made rapid progress. Heading is a strong point, but the sense of position, stealing, marking and other aspects are very good, but there are some problems with Bruce.

Mourinho's requirements for central defenders are stability. He doesn't like the kind of hard-working and frizzy players, because he will feel that it is a land mine. He doesn't know when it will be detonated by the opponent. It will be miserable, so he is training He has repeatedly criticized Curtis.

But everyone knows that Mourinho's criticism is because he values ​​it very much. I haven't seen Terry, who was criticized the most by Mourinho earlier in the season, and now he is the core of the team's defense.

"Work hard, buddy, you are our future!" Xiao Yu smiled helplessly.

Curtis was taken aback, but quickly understood why Xiao Yu said that. He knew that some players wanted to leave, so he walked over with a smile and hugged Xiao Yu tightly, "Don't worry, boss, I don't want to leave." Will go, unless, you sell me!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu almost burst into tears. He thought of Curtis’s sudden rush from London, and how his parents had hoped for him to go back to London many times in the past few years, but he always chose to stay in New Zealand. Manchester United, even if this is just a team in the English League C.

"I won't sell you, Curtis, never, unless you want to leave!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"This is so helpless, boss!" Curtis smiled very happily. Seeing that his teammates were about to leave, he bid farewell to Xiao Yu, "I'm going to take a shower, and we have to play indoors for a while. football."

Players passed by Xiao Yu one after another, and everyone greeted Xiao Yu happily, except for Distin and Stasson.

They were the two players who submitted written transfer applications to Mourinho. When they saw Xiao Yu, they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

"You're back!" Mourinho came to Xiao Yu's side, obviously feeling a little looser in his shoulders.

When Xiao Yu was around before, he always felt that his defense had a wall to rely on. No matter how bad he retreated to the wall, Xiao Yu would take care of everything for him, but during Xiao Yu's absence, Mourinho Some seem to have lost their backbone.

Not just him, but the whole team.

In the past, we could see Xiao Yu at the training base every day, and everyone just thought it was normal, but he left suddenly for more than half a month, but everyone missed him very much, and always felt that something was missing.

"Tell me about the situation, Jose!" Xiao Yu and Mourinho walked slowly on the path next to the training ground without worrying about the rain.

"Birmingham wanted to get Stasson. They knew that Stasson would not be the main player in our team, so they promised him the main position. He came to ask me a few days ago and told me his thoughts frankly. He said If I can give him the main position, he will stay, otherwise, he wants to leave, and I am very frank, I can't do it!"

Xiao Yu walked slowly and listened quietly. He knew very well that Stasson was not the type of full-back that Mourinho liked. His defense was really good, but he lacked offensive ability, and his speed was rather slow. , This is a bit incompatible with Mourinho's tactics, so even if Bosingwa performed very mediocre this season, Stazon failed to get many opportunities.

Last season, Stamsson was the main player of the team. This season, he was suddenly robbed of the main position by a newcomer. He must have a big gap in his heart, and Birmingham is a League One team. Bruce knows him very well. , promised to give him the main position, and anyone would want to leave.

"Where's Distin?"

Mourinho looked at the players who ran into the training building one after another, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Newcastle in the Premier League made an offer of 1 million pounds to us. They want to take Distin away. I asked him, He admitted that Newcastle had been in touch with him and although he didn't mention it, he's been absent-minded in training these days and I can see he wants to go too."

Newcastle, Xiao Yu has paid attention to this Premier League team recently, because Sun Jihai from China is currently training with this team, and the Chinese media has been paying attention all day long. Injuries to defense players are serious, and there are said to be as many as 12 injured in the first team.

The Chinese media believe that this is a favorable factor for Sun Jihai to join Newcastle, but Xiao Yu once joked to Cassel and others that this transfer is useless, but who would have thought that Sun Jihai's joining Newcastle has not yet been decided. On the contrary, the defender has become the coveted object of others.

Frankly speaking, in the face of the temptation of the Premier League team, it is very difficult for the new Manchester United to keep people, unless Xiao Yu wants to break up, but this is obviously the worst and most irrational result, because it will make other players What do you think?

Why Barcelona would rather lose a lot of money, would rather be ridiculed than send Ibrahimovic to AC Milan, because they know very well that if they force people to stay, the result will only be a loss for both sides.

The transfer market in England is very lively recently, especially the outstanding central defenders. Tottenham’s Campbell is leaving. Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are all interested in him. Leeds United have already bought Ferdinand of West Ham United. The transfer fee is England's first-day price of 18 million pounds, which is also the first-day price of a defender in the world.

Now Newcastle has extended its tentacles to the new Manchester United, and according to the situation, they are very confident to take Distin away, otherwise, they will not directly make an offer.

Xiao Yu really didn't care about £1 million, but his real headache was what would happen to the team after Distin left?

This is the real headache!

Maybe Curtis should be on top, give him a chance!

Xiao Yu thought, but in this way, will the team's performance be affected?

This was a consequence that Xiao Yu had to consider.

But it was clear that this was not the only thing that troubled him.

That night, Xiao Yu suddenly received a call from Scarlett.

"Hey neighbor, do you know who I saw?"

"Who is it?" Xiao Yu asked angrily.

"Your manager, Mr. Jose Mourinho, do you know who is sitting with him?"

Xiao Yu was stunned when he heard this!
