After Paris Saint-Germain was removed from the list, I led England to victory!

At the Kearney training ground in winter, breath turns to frost, but the heat on the training field remains undiminished.

Arsenal's players, under the guidance of the coaching staff, are conducting high-intensity and targeted tactical drills.

The team's strong lead in the league has not made head coach Nagelsmann and captain Yan Yuan relax in the slightest.

After today's training session, Yan Yuan was the last to leave the training ground, just like he always is.

He carefully completed the stretching, took a hot shower, changed into comfortable casual clothes, and then drove his car back to his home in North London.

Unlike usual,

Yan Yuan had something on his mind tonight: he planned to study Manchester United's new signing carefully.

Bruno Fernandes.

He was curious why Manchester United was able to spend so much money on transfers during the winter transfer window.

Back home, Lin Jianwei was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and the aroma of food filled the air.

"You're back, sweetie."

"Mmm, Weiwei, mmm...it smells so good. Today I made beef stew with potatoes."

"Do you like it? It needs to stew for a while longer. Oh, and I also bought you some new clothes. Try them on when you have time."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yuan feigned a pitiful state and said...

"Oh? You bought me new clothes again? No way, my dear sister, I have enough clothes in my closet, and most of them were bought for me by you."

Lin Jianwei was displeased after hearing this. She wiped her hands and then used her two slender hands to rub Yan Yuan's cheeks as she spoke.

"What do you mean 'enough'? How many casual clothes do you even have? You're way short. If you don't like buying clothes, I'll buy them for you. Look at you, you're so good-looking, but you just don't know how to dress yourself."

Yan Yuan rested his chin on Lin Jianwei's shoulder and said.

"Yes...yes...I'll do whatever Mommy says..."

After spending some time cuddling in the kitchen, Yan Yuan greeted Lin Jianwei and then went to the study.

He opened his laptop and skillfully logged into a professional football video analysis platform.

They pulled up a large amount of match footage of Bruno Fernandes playing for Sporting Lisbon last season and the first half of this season.

Only one desk lamp was lit in the study, casting a soft light on the table.

Yan Yuan's expression was focused, as if he had transformed back into the commander who saw through everything on the field.

He fast-forwarded, rewound, and paused.

I watched closely every touch of Bruno Fernandes, every run, every passing choice, and his reaction after losing possession.

Time passed second by second, and Yan Yuan sometimes nodded and sometimes frowned slightly.

He saw Bruno Fernandes' excellent footwork, imaginative through balls, extremely threatening long-range shots from outside the penalty area, and tireless running coverage.

These strengths certainly justify his status as the Portuguese league MVP and his market value of 6500 million euros.

However, the longer you look at it.

A detail became increasingly clear to Yan Yuan and caught his attention.

That's Bruno Fernandes' body language during the game. When his teammates don't run to the expected position or make a passing error, Fernandes will have a very obvious habitual gesture.

He spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and showed an expression of extreme dissatisfaction and complaint on his face.

Sometimes they would even shout loudly in the direction of their teammates.

"This action..." Yan Yuan stroked his chin, muttering to himself thoughtfully.

He watched several similar clips repeatedly and confirmed that this was not a coincidence, but a common occurrence.

As a team captain, Yan Yuan knew that in high-pressure competitions, emotional release needs to be done in a way that has a huge impact on team morale.

Lin Jianwei carried the fruit into the study and, seeing his focused expression, asked softly.

"So, what do you think? Is Manchester United's new signing any good?"

Yan Yuan looked up from the screen, took the fruit, and smiled.

"They definitely have the ability, excellent technique, creative passing, and reliable shooting. From an immediate impact perspective, Manchester United's €6500 million deal is a good one, but..."

"But?" Lin Jianwei asked, puzzled.

"However," Yan Yuan said, picking up a piece of apple with his fork and pointing to a frozen image on the screen of B-Fei shrugging and complaining.

"Weiwei, look here. He seems to be very used to expressing his dissatisfaction immediately after his teammates make a mistake."

This kind of body language might motivate teammates in the short term, but in the long run, especially in adversity, it could have a negative impact on the locker room atmosphere.

The real key is being the first person to step up and pat a teammate on the shoulder after they make a mistake, telling them, "It's okay, try again next time."

Lin Jianwei leaned closer to take a look and nodded.

"You have a keen eye for detail. But perhaps it's because he's a key player at Sporting Lisbon, so the expectations are higher?"

"That's possible," Yan Yuan agreed.

"But the intensity and pressure of the Premier League are incomparable to the Portuguese league. Here, every mistake is magnified, and he needs to adapt as quickly as possible and learn to lead the team in a more mature way."

……

Before the training session the next day, Nagelsmann called Yan Yuan to his office.

Na Shuai handed Yan Yuan a glass of water and asked directly.

"Yan, have you watched any of Bruno Fernandes' new signing at Manchester United? What are your thoughts on him?"

Nagelsmann habitually seeks the opinions of the team's key players.

Especially players like Yan Yuan with extremely high football intelligence.

Yan Yuan took the water and shared his observations.

"Boss, I've watched some of his highlights and full matches at Sporting Lisbon. To be frank, he's very capable individually, especially in terms of creativity and finishing ability in attack. He could definitely bring a qualitative improvement to Manchester United's midfield."

€6500 million isn't outrageous, considering the current market and its plug-and-play nature.

Nagelsmann listened attentively, nodded, and gestured for him to continue.

"However," Yan Yuan changed the subject, repeating exactly what he had said to Lin Jianwei the night before,

"I noticed a potential problem with him; he doesn't seem to tolerate his teammates' mistakes on the field."

If the pass is not in place or the positioning is not to his liking, he will immediately shrug and complain, his emotions are very obvious.

Yan Yuan gestured with his hand to mimic B Fei's shrug.

Upon hearing this, Nagelsmann gave a meaningful smile. He walked to the tactics board and marked something with his pen:

"That's exactly what I observed, Yan."

Bruno is undoubtedly a top-class attacking midfielder, but whether he is a qualified leader, especially one who can unite the team in adversity, remains to be seen.

At Sporting Lisbon, he was the center of attention and enjoyed special privileges.

But at Manchester United, dressing room relationships are complex and the pressure is immense. His "complaining" leadership style, if not handled properly, could become a destabilizing factor in the dressing room. Taking responsibility is more important than complaining about others.

Yan Yuan expressed his deep agreement.

"Yes, boss, football is a team sport, especially in difficult times. Trust and encouragement are more effective at uniting people than blame. We might be able to do something about that when we play Manchester United in the second half of the season."

Nagelsmann looked at his captain with admiration.

"Great insight, stay focused, but more importantly, do our best. No matter who the opponent is, our tactical discipline and team spirit are our strongest weapons."

Just as Yan Yuan and Nagelsmann were conducting a professional and calm analysis.

In the domestic internet world.

Discussions about Bruno Fernandes joining Manchester United take on a completely different tone, especially among die-hard Manchester United fans.

That evening, the Douyin live stream room of Wang Yunqi, a well-known Manchester United fan and commentator, was packed with viewers.

The headline is particularly eye-catching: [In-depth analysis: Bruno Fernandes arrives at Old Trafford, is the answer to Manchester United's midfield finally here?!]

Wang Yunqi, wearing a Manchester United jersey, was extremely emotional.

"Family! Pay attention! What was the best thing Manchester United did this winter transfer window? Bringing Bruno Fernandes to Old Trafford! €6500 million? Let me tell you, it was a steal! Absolutely a steal!"

He delivered his analysis with great passion and enthusiasm.

"Look at Bruno Fernandes' stats at Sporting Lisbon! How many goals last season? More than twenty! And assists? More than ten! For a midfielder like him, folks! These stats would be top-tier even in the Premier League!"

His through balls, his long-range shots, his forward runs! This is the 'brain' Manchester United has been missing for so long! Pogba is good, but he's inconsistent; Bruno Fernandes is consistent!

The live stream chat was flooded with comments, mostly from Manchester United fans excitedly echoing the sentiment.

Bruno Fernandes is absolutely the answer to Manchester United's midfield.

I've seen his performances in the Portuguese league; he's a captain-level player.

The Premier League season is coming to an end.

However, some sharp-eyed fans have voiced different opinions:

[Brother Qi, Bruno Fernandes is good, but I've noticed he often shrugs and complains about his teammates during matches. Could this be a problem?]

[Yes, yes, I noticed that too. He seems to have a bit of a temper and gets angry easily.]

Upon seeing these comments, Wang Yunqi immediately raised his voice, adopting an attitude of "you guys don't understand football."

"Oh my god! I'm telling you, some family members can't just watch the game on the surface! Shrugging? Complaining? What kind of nonsense is this!"

He made an exaggerated shrug, imitating B.F.'s gesture, which made the viewers in the live stream burst into laughter.

"Family members, you have to think of it this way! What is Bruno Fernandes' status at Sporting Lisbon? The absolute core of the midfield! The brain of the brains! The balls he passes out are like surgical instruments, hitting exactly where he points!"

Your teammates couldn't catch you, couldn't get into position, and ruined this excellent offensive opportunity. Aren't you anxious? Aren't you angry? I'd be just as frustrated!

The more Wang Yunqi spoke, the clearer his thoughts became.

"What does this show? It shows that Bruno Fernandes has high expectations of himself and his teammates! It shows that he has a winner's mentality and cannot tolerate any flaws! This is what you call 'disappointing in someone who is not living up to his potential'!"

Besides, he put up such explosive stats all season, he's just playing awesomely, what's wrong with shrugging? That's right! That's what you call 'shrugging is justified'! If other players are capable enough to put up those stats, I'll applaud them every day they shrug like that!

His "shrug it off" attitude, coupled with his exaggerated expressions and gestures, immediately brought the atmosphere in the live stream to a climax.

Supporting fans laughed and commented "No problem" and "Yunqi is right"; even skeptical fans were amused by his twisted logic and stopped arguing.

Wang Yunqi concluded his speech with great confidence.

"So, everyone, don't worry! Bruno Fernandes' little flaw is nothing compared to his absolute talent! Just wait and see, in the second half of the season, Bruno Fernandes will definitely carry Manchester United to new heights! Manchester United's revival begins today!"

Thus, the arrival of Bruno Fernandes has created a rich and interesting tapestry of life in the football world, from the professional and calm tactical analysis room to the enthusiastic and even somewhat "unreasonable" fan live broadcast room.

Yan Yuan and Nagelsmann saw the potential risks beneath the halo, while die-hard fans like Wang Yunqi chose to unconditionally embrace the flaws of genius.

Whose vision is more accurate?

Only time will tell on the pitch in the second half of the season.

Yan Yuan and his Arsenal are ready to meet any challenge.
