"Hello, Mr. Bart!"

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Xiao Yu!"

At the gate of the Newton Heath training base, Xiao Yu shook hands politely with Barth, assistant to the FA CEO, and then greeted the members of the investigation team who followed Bart one after another, and then welcomed the guests into the training base.

"Mr. Xiao Yu, I heard that the total area of this base is 165 acres?" Bart casually asked Xiao Yu who was walking beside him.

Xiao Yu smiled and nodded, "Yes, Mr. Bart, this is well documented in the Municipal Axe. ”

"That must have cost a lot of money!" Bart said with a smile, not knowing if he was complimenting or something else.

When you go to the temporary office building, you can see that there is infrastructure everywhere around, and the training building will not be ready for use for at least a year, and the training facilities such as the green belt fence and standard field will be another month or two.

That's why the training base can't be built until after the league ends.

"Or, I can show you around!" Walsh offered to ask.

Bart nodded to the group behind him, and they all followed Walsh and Cassel.

Xiao Yu invited Bart into the office.

"Mr. Xiao Yu is Chinese?" As soon as Bart saw the furnishings and layout of Xiao Yu's office, he could see it.

Xiao Yu nodded, "My family has always had a very Chinese tradition, for example, I usually prefer to drink tea rather than coffee. ”

After the host and guest sat down, Bruce sat on the sidelines to accompany them.

'Frankly, Mr Bart, we were all surprised that the FA had shortlisted our club for a guaranteed place, knowing that we were just a new club.

Xiao Yu said his doubts very straightforwardly.

'That's true, but we also saw the quality of the new Manchester United, you did really well last year in the North West Division Division, winning the title six rounds early, breaking the goals scored and conceded records in the 10th Division, and you won the Challenger Cup in the North West League, and you reached the third round of the FA Cup, all of which was surprising.

"Frankly speaking, Mr. Xiao Yu, when you decided to establish the new Manchester United, none of us thought that you would be able to achieve so many brilliant results in just one season!"

Xiao Yu smiled politely, "But this is only the tenth level of the league!" ”

"Of course," Bart also smiled, "actually, a number of Northwest Division B teams reacted to FA officials last year, and they felt that the home game against the new Manchester United caused them considerable pressure, not only on the pitch, but also off the pitch, they were a little overwhelmed. ”

"For example, in the opening match of the Northwest Division B, New Manchester United played Lick away, and it was a wonderful game, and the new Manchester United won as a matter of course, but after that game, Lick had to spend a sum of money to hire people to clean up and tidy up the stadium stands, and after that game, many Second Division teams had to pay a sum of money to hire a group of security personnel, and sometimes even the police, once they faced the new Manchester United at home."

Xiao Yu felt helpless about this, because he couldn't say, then let's limit the number of fans who go with the team to the away stadium!

"According to our survey, the average home attendance of the new Manchester United last year was around 3,760, and even if you put it in the English second division, I am afraid that many teams will not be able to do this." Bart said with admiration.

According to the information released by the new Manchester United, the number of official members of the club has exceeded 20,000, and the growth trend is very fast, and many of them are located near Manchester.

That said, there is still room for the new Manchester United's home attendance to rise.

It is precisely because of this that Xiao Yu desperately wants to have a bigger home stadium.

'The FA's decision to shortlist the new Manchester United was made after a lot of deliberation and I hope you will think about it. Bart suggested.

After the FA has made a shortlist, it is customary to visit the team's home stadium and training ground, and at the same time, the team can also consider whether to accept the FA's escort according to its own situation.

If it is not accepted, then the next steps will not be continued, and once accepted, a series of relevant reviews will begin, in addition to the assessment of the team's hardware and software facilities, and more importantly, the financial status reported by the team.

…………

…………

After sending off the inspection team, Xiao Yu and his party walked back to the office.

During this time, there have been many discussions around whether the new Manchester United should accept the guaranteed place.

Walsh is fully supportive of acceptance, because he thinks that the team should have a better space for development, especially since the current players of the new Manchester United are generally from the high-level leagues, even in the national league, it is not without the strength of a fight, in this case, then why continue to stay in the Northwest Division A?

Kassel is a staunch refusal, he believes that the team should move forward step by step, once it is in the national league, but it is relegated, so what to do? Maybe I'll be laughed at by someone when the time comes!

As for Bruce, he is a neutral party and thinks it is okay to accept it or to reject it!

So, when everyone walked back to Xiao Yu's office and sat down, they all immediately looked at Xiao Yu again, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Frankly, I say, it's a lot of pressure!" Xiao Yu said with a wry smile.

He regards the new Manchester United as his son, although he knows that his son is a genius and talented, but when he hears that his son is going to be sent directly from elementary school to high school, I believe anyone will hesitate.

"I asked a lot of fans in the bar last night, and they were basically divided into three factions, one agreed and one opposed, and the last one was neutral, just like we are in now!" Walsh also smiled wryly.

This is a decision that no one dares to take lightly.

New Manchester United is developing very strongly, but once they are relegated, who knows if they will be relegated?

Once relegated, who can guarantee that the new United will be able to regain their glory?

Xiao Yu glanced at everyone, and he found that it was difficult to find answers from them, so he could only rely on himself.

From receiving the fax to now, five days have passed, and Xiao Yu has also seriously considered it for five days.

As a time-traveler, Xiao Yu's biggest advantage is that he has more than ten years of football knowledge than others, including some stars who are still unknown now, but will be like heaven in the future, so he found Evra and Messi.

But there were only two players.

The reason why the former was found by Xiao Yu was because he happened to leave the academy of Paris Saint-Holmes at that time and was about to leave football; The latter was because he was seriously ill, and Xiao Yu spent money to treat him, nothing more.

With the advent of the information age, there are fewer and fewer players like Ballack, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Klose who have risen from the lower divisions to become superstars, and with the emphasis on youth training by professional clubs, it is generally difficult for good seedlings to fall into the hands of amateur teams.

Looking at it from another angle, even Xiao Yu can't guarantee that once his team stays in the amateur league for a few more years, once Evra, Messi, Curtis, Ismael and others grow up and are favored by big clubs, will they be able to keep it?

Raul is loyal to Real Madrid, that is because Real Madrid is a super giant, Maldini is loyal to AC Milan for the same reason, in a low-level team, where to find a permanent standard-bearer?

Sometimes, professional football is so cruel!

If Xiao Yu doesn't want to lose Messi and Evra in the future, then he can only keep upgrading, and if he wants to upgrade anyway, isn't it just an opportunity now?

Xiao Yu's so-called biggest advantage, in the lower the level of the amateur league can play a smaller role, if the new Manchester United is now a Premier League team, Xiao Yu dare to guarantee that he can form a strong team with the strength to win the championship in a season, but in the lower league, Xiao Yu does not dare to guarantee.

It's not that he can't find a good player, but even if he does, people won't come!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu took a deep breath, he felt that he had found the answer.

"I've been thinking a few days ago, if we accept the FA's escort, are we going to go to the national league and come back, or stay there, or even try to win the title?" Xiao Yu asked suddenly.

The three people present immediately looked at Xiao Yu with a thoughtful expression.

"Steve always taught the players that we have to have the belief to win, so I also told myself that whether we stay in the Northwest Division or keep the National League, we have only one goal, and that is to fight for the championship!"

Xiao Yu's words surprised the three of Bruce.

When they were thinking about this issue, they were just struggling with whether they could be relegated smoothly after being escorted by the team.

The national league title is a distant dream for a semi-professional team that has just won the 10th division.

"A year ago, someone said we were dreaming about starting a club; Later, some people said that it was a dream for us fans to run a club; Later, some people said that we wanted to win the championship in a dream, but now? Our club is running very well, we won the title, are we dreaming? ”

Xiao Yu stood up with excitement now, because he had just made a very amazing decision.

'If it's a dream, then I would say, let's make the dream bigger and bigger, preferably big enough to shock everybody, make all the teams feel threatened, make them scared, just like we scared Arsenal at Highbury Stadium before.

Bruce and Walsh are thrilled to think of that game, which was considered by fans to be the best game of the season, and despite the loss, the new United earned the respect of their opponents, won the applause of the fans, and welcomed their dignity at Highbury.

"Would you like to accompany me in this dream?" Xiao Yu smiled and stretched out his hand

ps: There is one more chapter in the evening, continue to ask for tickets!
