Red Rebels

Before coming to Manchester, Drogba called his uncle and told him about his situation. The uncle also agreed with his decision and thought that since people were interested in him, it would be better to go and have a look first. Happening.

Michelle Goba also learned that Xiao Yu, the owner of the new Manchester United, is a very famous investor in the United States. He owns valuable properties in the United States, is quite famous on Wall Street, and is also a shareholder of the famous Apple. People's club, should not lie.

With his agent, Drogba got off the plane in Manchester, and when they walked out of the gate, they saw someone holding up the sign of the new Manchester United in the distance, and they immediately greeted them.

"Hello, Mr. Drogba?" the chubby man holding the sign asked as soon as someone approached.

Drogba nodded, "Yes, may I ask who you are?"

"I'm a staff member of the new Manchester United, my name is Jim, and I'm the newly hired reception driver by the club!" Fat Jim was very proud and proud when he talked about his identity.

reception driver?

Drogba was a little unfamiliar with this position, but he was a club employee anyway, so he didn't have much suspicion, so he followed Jim into the Audi that he drove.

This is one of the new cars that New Manchester United bought recently. It is the club's public car. Jim accepted Xiao Yu's employment, quit his job as a taxi driver, and entered the new Manchester United as a driver.

Don't underestimate the low status of the position of driver, but in fact, there are a large group of people rushing to be the job. Jim still directly got a place through relationships, otherwise he may not be able to be elected.

"By the way, do you want to go to the stadium first, or go to the training base first?" Jim asked, driving in front.

Drogba thought for a while, "Go to the stadium first!" He must have thought that the new Manchester United office was at the stadium.

In fact, the offices of many clubs are arranged in the stadium, such as Manchester United, Real Madrid and so on.

When the players came to the city, they could see that the stadium was under construction from a distance, and the large construction vehicles went back and forth, making the whole stadium noisy and very harsh.

"The club's stadium originally only had three stands, but it was far from being able to meet the needs of fans. Therefore, urgent construction is currently underway to build the northern stands, which will bring the club's stadium capacity close to 14,000."

Although compared with Old Trafford and Maine Road, the stadium of the new Manchester United is still very small, but in the eyes of fans such as Jim, this is already very valuable. You must know that the club has only been established for three years, and it is possible to have a It's not easy to have your own stadium.

"You... the club has only been established for three years?" Drogba had some doubts about this.

Jim smiled and led him into the stadium from the main gate, and then led by the staff to the exhibition hall.

The whole exhibition hall is very chic, with several trophies in the window, and newspaper clippings, which record every major event since the establishment of the new Manchester United, such as the introduction of players, such as a key game. The victory of the game and so on.

Walking around the exhibition halls, Drogba had to admit that he was attracted to this particular club, a very unique club with a unique appeal, especially where it came from.

"What's this?" His agent didn't know much about football, so he didn't have as much emotion as Drogba. Instead, he was interested in the display windows of many footballs on the side of the exhibition hall. There were also some signatures on the footballs. In front of it is one name after another.

"Hehe, this is the game ball for all the players to score their first goal for the new Manchester United, with their autographs on it!" Then Jim began to familiarize himself with those who had scored for the new Manchester United. of players, he knows almost every one of them, and everyone is familiar.

"This one is called Curtis Davis,

He is a player trained by our team's youth training camp. He is 16 years old this year and is the team's vice-captain. He started playing for the team in the second half of last season. He played very well and scored several goals. The ball, this is the first goal he has ever scored! "

Drogba stared blankly at the football that was obviously used many times. The name on it was very conspicuous and very young. Obviously, the players who signed it were not used to signing autographs, so the autographs were not particularly good-looking.

"What about this one next to it? There's blood on it!" Drogba's agent asked.

Jim pointed to the bloodstained football and said proudly: "That's Curtis' blood. He played against Brighton away last season. This game is related to the championship. Curtis is the team captain for the first time. In the first starter, when he headed the ball in the opponent's penalty area, he accidentally scratched his face with a shoe spike, and blood splashed on the ball. Later, the players left the ball without wiping the blood, and sent it here. Save it to tell everyone who visits that the new Manchester United has such a hard-edged central defender."

"Now Curtis has been selected for the England U18 national team. He is also the youngest in that team and comes from the lowest level in the league, but it is said that he will be entrusted with a heavy responsibility and play the starting role!" Speaking of Curtis, Jim is very proud.

When he was queuing up to sign up for the trial training when the team was founded, Curtis was behind him. For this reason, he often used this to show off, saying that he was the first of all to know Curtis.

Drogba looked at everything in the exhibition hall. He was a little crazy. There is no such exhibition hall in the Le Mans club, and few French clubs have heard of such an exhibition hall. It must be a display of the trophies and honors the team has won, not the goals of the players.

Of course, the trophies won by the team are also displayed in the exhibition hall of the new Manchester United, but they are not particularly conspicuous. Obviously, these trophies, which symbolize honor, and the goals of the players, as well as the club's History is placed in the same position.

This is really a different club!

Drogba thought to himself!

…………

…………

From the City Stadium, Drogba returned to the Newton Heath training base with Jim.

Like everyone who saw the training base for the first time, Drogba was surprised that the new Manchester United could have such a modern training base, especially when Jim introduced him to all the facilities in the base. Xiao Yu's investment in the club.

It is impossible to invest so much without a little love!

Since the season is over and the players and coaches are on vacation, the training grounds are empty.

Neither Xiao Yu nor Mourinho were at the training base, so Jim took Drogba to the training base first.

When I came to the training ground of the youth team, I saw a few teenagers training there from a distance. Well, it would be more appropriate to say that it was actually playing.

"Hi, Uncle Jim!" Messi greeted as soon as he saw Jim.

The other players followed suit, all of them living in the neighborhood, including Michael Johnson, John Obie Mikel, Ismail Miller, who were obviously training.

"Come on, Ismail!" Messi shouted on the left, then accelerated to dribble the ball and cross.

The ball quickly came to the goal, and the tall Mikel squeezed Ismail desperately with his body. Under his interference, the latter lifted his foot to unload the low ball from Messi to his own. Left, then turned around under Mikel, and volleyed, the ball... Deflected!

"Hey, Ismail, your movements are wrong!" Michael Johnson in the distance immediately ran over.

"What's wrong?" Ismail was a little unconvinced.

Johnson pulled the ball over and demonstrated against the tall Mikel. His movements were smoother and more technical than Ismail, and his movements were more standardized. The adjustment is very good, and the next shot is very light and not strong, but it gets into the dead corner of the goal very accurately.

"Look, Michael is right, you should be lighter, and after turning around, don't be in a hurry, because you are pressing Mikel, and you have enough time to adjust the angle." Messi who followed him also analyzed.

Drogba in the distance thinks this group of kids is very interesting. The guys named Michael Johnson and Messi are very skilled, but the guy named Ismail is much rougher, which makes him more on the sidelines. After watching the training for a while, I couldn't help laughing several times.

"Hey, big man, why are you laughing, come here if you have the ability!" Ismail had already seen the dissatisfaction of this infuriating guy on the sidelines, so he simply challenged him.

"Me?" Drogba felt a little surprised.

"Yes, it's you!" Ismail challenged directly.

Drogba looked at Jim, who shrugged, "It's okay, outside of training time, his challenge to you is reasonable and allowed, you can consider whether to fight or not!"

As a fan, Jim would love to see this kind of game.

Drogba also happened to be wearing loose clothes, and it happened that his feet were a little itchy, so he walked into the arena with a smile.

The rules of the game are very simple, Messi passes 5 balls from the left and right flanks, then Michael Johnson passes 5 balls from the middle, and then sees who has more chances to seize.

At first Drogba felt that this was too childish, but after he came off the court in person, he realized that he was wrong.

The first is the black kid behind him, who is very strong, bulky, and strong against him. Drogba can hardly stand him, and then Messi and Johnson pass the ball very fast. In this case Down, it is not easy to deal with the confrontation behind, but also to easily unload the ball, turn around and shoot.

The most important thing is that Drogba's skills are very rough. Although he can unload the passes of Messi and Johnson, he is always pushed by Mikel behind him and loses his position, and then loses the opportunity to shoot.

This time he was surprised to find that the playful training of these little devils is really no joke at all.

Seeing Drogba deflated, Ismail smiled, as if he was happy to see a hapless guy who was more useless than himself, and asked provocatively: "Hey, big man, do you want to play indoor football for a while?"
