Red Rebels

For the next few days, Xiao Yu was extremely busy.

On the second day after crossing over, Xiao Yu decided on the spot to name the club Manchester United Football Club [FC United of Manchester], referred to as FC Manchester United, but people inside the club like to call the new Manchester United directly, nicknamed the Red Rebels.

Since there are still four vacancies in the Northwest Division Two, the FA let the new Manchester United directly join the Northwest Division Two, but this will have to wait until the FA informs the other clubs in the Northwest Division Two, Only with the consent of most clubs can the new Manchester United join.

Of course, generally speaking, as long as the FA agrees, other clubs will not object.

Since David Pace has already agreed before that he will lend the Butcher Knife Stadium to the new Manchester United for free, there is no need for the new Manchester United to find a new stadium for at least a year. , found a temporary training ground in the Newton Heath area.

Newton Heath is very sacred in the hearts of Manchester United fans. It is the birthplace of Manchester United Club.

It is precisely because of this background that when Newton Heath agreed to let the new Manchester United train here on weekdays, the British newspapers immediately hyped the new Manchester United.

For new United fans, moving into Newton Heath is as much a celebration as returning home.

After finalizing the home court and training venue, Xiao Yu rented a small office near the Newton Heath training ground as a temporary office for the new Manchester United club. The official office staff is only Xiao Yu for the time being. Walsh He and David volunteered to help, and are still recruiting a clerk who can do chores, but the salary is definitely not high.

On the day when the new Manchester United club was established, Xiao Yu did not celebrate it. This is just one of the lowest amateur clubs among the more than 7,000 clubs in England, and there is nothing worth celebrating at all.

"If one day we make it to the Premier League, or if we have our own stadium and training ground, then I will definitely celebrate and let the whole of Manchester hear our voice!" Xiao Yu politely declined After the celebration suggestion from the Red Plate Legion fans club, he said.

Due to the approaching of the World Cup in France, the attention of the whole world has gathered in France, so this amateur club established in Newton Heath, Manchester, England did not attract much attention, but the local newspaper in Manchester briefly reported it, but the length Both are short.

After the establishment of the club, the selection of trial players has also come to an end.

According to statistics, a total of more than 1,300 people participated in this seven-day trial training. Excluding some of them who were obviously here for soy sauce, such as the taxi driver Jim, there were more than 500 people who passed the initial registration review.

According to the feedback from the Football Association, this number is definitely a new record for the number of trial training of all start-up clubs, and it is the kind of record that is far ahead of the second place and far ahead.

Seventeen out of more than 500 people have to be selected. This undoubtedly shows the cruelty of the trial training, but at the same time, it also guarantees the strength of the new Manchester United club. Many newspapers have even concluded that the new season's Northwest Division B champion has already No need to fight, just give it to the new Manchester United.

Although the final 17-man list has not yet been released, it is not difficult to see the strength level of this new team from the qualifications of the few who have been selected.

Not to mention Rodriguez, he is the younger brother of Ryan Giggs. He is 21 years old this year. He is fast and has good skills. Although he may not be able to play in the professional league, it is more than enough to play in the amateur league.

Since Xiao Yu already knew the strength of Rodriguez, he signed a contract with him in advance. He can receive a salary of 60 pounds a week from the new Manchester United, and there is an additional bonus for scoring goals.

Carl Markinson,

28 years old, defensive midfielder, professional player, played for Roseham in the second division for three years, and then moved to the National League. He is a native of Manchester. He is very supportive of Xiao Yu's move to establish a new Manchester United, so when he heard the new Manchester United Manchester United trial training, he rushed over immediately.

Incidentally, on the second day of the trial training, he knocked out Xiao Yu who was playing football, which directly led to Xiao Yu's time travel.

In the original history, when the new Manchester United was established in 2005, Karl Makinson was the head coach of this club. At the same time, he led the new Manchester United to upgrade for three consecutive years. It must be more than enough to play in the amateur league.

Darren Lyons, a right midfielder, is not fast, but his height of 185cm and excellent jumping give him an advantage in high-altitude balls, but what really makes the new Manchester United value is his precise cross, and his An earth-shattering long shot, and his set ball also has a certain skill.

When Xiao Yu first saw this player who had just terminated his contract with a professional club in the National League and joined the new Manchester United, a message appeared in his mind, this 31-year-old veteran would become the new Manchester United's David Beckham.

In addition to the above three people, there is another one that I have to mention is Jonathan Matten. The 22-year-old striker also played for the English National League before. His grandfather was Charlie in the "Busby Children" Maiten, so he would rather be relegated to the fifth level, return to the Northwest Division B, and play for the new Manchester United.

It is precisely because of these four high-level champions, and most of the other players participating in the trial selection are from high-level leagues, that even though the new Manchester United has just been formed, it is immediately regarded as a The favorites to win the Northwest Division Two.

Although the team's prospects are promising, Xiao Yu still dare not be careless.

Since this period of time, he has visited Steve Bruce whenever he has the opportunity, and he has not talked to him about the invitation. This time he changed his strategy and specifically consulted him about the operation of the team and player contracts. .

Steve Bruce also knew everything, and gave detailed answers to Xiao Yu's questions. At the same time, he also put forward some suggestions for the current situation of the new Manchester United. team because that is the foundation of any club.

In addition, Steve Bruce also helped Xiao Yu buy some training equipment. Since Xiao Yu currently has limited funds, he couldn't spend as much as those wealthy clubs, so Bruce helped Xiao Yu choose one that is commonly used in daily training. These are undoubtedly not Xiao Yu's specialty.

"Thanks to you, otherwise I really don't know what to do!"

These words have become what Xiao Yu said to Bruce the most in the past few days, and the latter usually just smiled and didn't take it seriously.

In fact, Xiao Yu guessed right, Bruce really wanted to develop on the road of football coaching, which was the main reason why he left Birmingham, but after leaving, no club has contacted him, but Xiao Yu She is infatuated with him and pesters him for help.

In the process of helping the new Manchester United, while helping Xiao Yu, Bruce also learned a lot. For example, Xiao Yu is only running an amateur club now, so there are so many things to worry about. What about running a giant in the Super League?

There are also training grounds, club infrastructure, etc., all aspects, many subtleties that Bruce ignored before, but they are constantly emerging in the process of the new Manchester United from scratch, which will definitely have a positive impact on Bruce's future coaching career. It helps a lot.

Of course, while Xiao Yu was busy preparing for the establishment of the club, he also did not forget to solve the money problem.

As a time traveler, Xiao Yu's biggest asset is his familiarity with the next few years, so he knows very well that the champion of the French World Cup is the French team, and the top scorer is Suker from Croatia. He scored 6 goals, and The biggest dark horse is Croatia, which broke into the semi-finals.

If these were placed in 2010, it would not be a big problem for football fans, but back in 1998, before the start of the World Cup, this was undoubtedly priceless inside information.

But Xiao Yu didn't just bet blindly. He spent a few days in Walsh's bar, learned about the betting process from the experienced betting masters in the bar, and then proceeded cautiously based on his own experience. Make decentralized betting.

Xiao Yu's betting money was not much, only 700,000 pounds, but it was equivalent to Xiao Yu's entire belongings, and all the remaining money was remitted to the account transferred to the new Manchester United to serve as the club's operating funds.

After dealing with these matters, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. If history has not changed much, then according to his betting method, according to the current odds, and deducting the money he intentionally made a wrong bet, he can at least get a profit. The profit is about 30 million pounds.

This is because Xiao Yu wants to avoid attracting people's attention. If he does it freely, otherwise, he may be able to earn more.

After finalizing the betting for the World Cup betting, Xiao Yu began to focus on the team again.

Due to the different number of players coming to each position for trial training, many positions have a surplus of players, while some positions are quite scarce, such as left back and goalkeeper.

The special position of the goalkeeper makes Xiao Yu dare not be careless. Bruce said that if it is not enough, he will find a way to rent one from a high-level team, but the left back will be in trouble, because there will not be many left feet participating in the trial training. , and most of them still play forwards or wingers. If they switch to play left back, it is really uncertain.

"It seems that we still need to find a qualified left back for the team!" Xiao Yu didn't like to rely on luck.

But as a new club that has just been established, there are no scouts, no reputation, and even the head coach has not yet been determined. Where can I find players?

No way, he could only ask David Pace for help, but he was as worried as Xiao Yu, because his team also lacked a left-footer, and they had always relied on right backs to play soy sauce.

At this time, Xiao Yu really realized why the left foot will be so popular in European football in the next few years, why Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, and even the talented Brazilian national team will feel headaches for the left back.

But thinking of this, Xiao Yu suddenly thought of a person, isn't he just a left-footed general?
