"Karl, after I got off the field, you were the captain of the team, how did I explain to you at that time?" Steve Bruce asked sharply as he grabbed the armrest of the bus with one hand and pointed to Carl Marginson, who was sitting in a seat not far away.

It was obvious that the head coach's tone was not good, and all the players, including Xiao Yu and Walsh, who were sitting at the front of the bus, paid attention.

"I ......" Marginson was a little weak-hearted, he had never been the kind of person who was good at words.

"My task is that in addition to fulfilling the responsibility of being a midfielder, you also have to supervise your teammates, not to relax in the slightest, to maintain absolute mental concentration for the whole 90 minutes, but do you think about it, did you do it in the next 20 minutes?" Bruce looked hot and asked, pointing to the players.

No one dared to say anything at this time.

"Patrice, you performed very well in this game, you are very active, the opponent's back line is so sudden that you can't find the north, congratulations, you are famous, ** is famous in the Northwest Division B League!" Bruce walked over to Evra's side as he spoke, speaking louder and louder.

"You were so active in the first half with the lightning speed of the opposition half, where did you go in the second half? I've given you a task of 90 minutes, not 45 minutes, and you tell me, if you still do the same in the second half, will the opponent dare to press out and play? Tell me, Patrice! ”

Evra was so frightened that she stood up, hesitated, and replied, "Don't dare!" Mr! ”

Bruce patted Evra on the shoulder in relief and motioned for him to sit down, "You are a very talented player, you are only 17 years old, the club and I value your future, you should not be satisfied with the results achieved in the amateur league, do you remember Gary Neville?" He is your role model! If you don't reach his height for a day, why should you be satisfied? Why relax? ”

Evra looked pensive, and Bruce let him go for the time being.

Instead, he walked up to Jonathan Maiten and smiled, "We owe it to you today, Jonathan, for being the first player to score a hat-trick in the history of our club, and in the first official game, you will go down in history, but I am unfortunate to tell you that in the next game, you will be on the bench!" ”

At first, Maiten thought that he was going to be rewarded, and he was very happy, but when he heard this, he stood up in disbelief and asked, "Why, sir?" ”

Bruce stared at him and said word for word: "Just because you played like shit in the second half!" As a player who has played in the national league, do you think you are proud to score a hat-trick against such a low-level amateur team? ”

"It's not just Jonathan, Patrice, Carl, Smith, you're all on the bench for the next game!"

As soon as Bruce's words came out, not only the players were surprised, but even Xiao Yu and Walsh were surprised.

11 main players, 4 replaced at once?

Walsh wanted to make a sound, but was stopped by Xiao Yu, and made a secret signal to stop him.

Yes, since he believes in Bruce, no matter what he does, Xiao Yu feels that he should fully support him!

"I declare here again that my team only needs the kind of player who can play wholeheartedly in 90 minutes of play, the kind of player who can only play good football in the half game, and shit in the half game, no matter how good it is, I will not use it, if you feel wronged, or think that I am unfair to you, then good, you can choose to leave!"

"The team in my mind is a team of 11 people, not a team that can't play without anyone, let alone a team that can't win without anyone, I won't compromise, this is the bottom line, everyone who wants to play must give me your fighting spirit and determination and convince me, because I am the only decision-maker who decides whether you can play or not!"

With that, Bruce sat back in his seat, and the whole bus was silent, and no one spoke.

"Xiao Yu, don't you think what Steve said just now was too serious? Most of them have never played professional football, so they are not afraid of causing conflict? ”

Back in Newton Heath's training ground office, Walsh closed the door and asked with a bitter face while pulling Xiao Yu.

Although this team belongs to Xiao Yu, in fact, Walsh also contributed a lot, and he is also worried about the future of the team.

"Andy, I believe Steve is measured, he has a rich and brilliant career, he is a model of a professional footballer, so we should believe in him, and I think there is nothing wrong with his hard name request, we are not an amateur team like Lick who is purely playing with a ticket surname, our ambition is to rush to the Premier League, and even become a giant!"

Walsh thought about it, and suddenly understood what Xiao Yu meant.

Just as Xiao Yu pursued Steve Bruce desperately in the first place, he just wanted to inject a tough and bloody soul into this team at the beginning of the club's establishment, making it an invincible iron-blooded army.

It takes time to accumulate and precipitate to cast an iron-blooded army, just like it took Ferguson and Wenger more than ten years to cast Manchester United and Arsenal, so Xiao Yu wants to start from low-level games and slowly inject a resolute and unyielding soul and a bright sword-like blood surname into the new Manchester United.

And Bruce also used facts to prove that his team can win without the main force.

Despite the absence of four key players in the second round of the league, the new Manchester United still managed to defeat the visiting Silston side 2-0 thanks to goals from Rodri Giggs and David Bale, winning two games and topping the table with eight goal differences.

The Butcher's Knife Stadium was attended by a total of 3,741 fans, once again filling the stadium and breaking the previous stadium attendance record held by the new Manchester United and as long as you see the game and there are many unticketed spectators cheering and cheering outside the stadium, it is not difficult to imagine how popular the new United really is.

After the game, Manchester Municipal Axe's consultation council on the new Manchester United's desire to buy out the District Athletic Stadium and the surrounding land was officially convened, and Andy Walsh, as the representative of the new Manchester United, attended the meeting on behalf of Xiao Yu.

"In principle, the municipal axe agreed to our buyout proposal, but there is still a slight disagreement on the price, after all, there are already many real estate developers who are interested in using this land for real estate development."

After returning from the council, Xiao Yu immediately pulled Walsh into the office for a discussion, along with Bruce.

"The real estate developers paid all at once, but obviously we can't do it, but in our favor, the municipal axe doesn't want the district athletic stadium and the surrounding land to become commercial."

"In terms of price, we should try to fight for it, and as for the payment method, we can consider a more down payment, such as half of the down payment and the rest of the debt within two years." Xiao Yu thought for a while and said.

Bruce shook his head, "This won't work, I've also seen the District Athletic Stadium, it's terrible, even if we buy it, it will definitely take a while and spend a lot of money to repair it, otherwise it won't be put into use at all." ”

"Yes, Xiao Yu, I have calculated, it will cost at least 100,000 pounds to repair the stadium, and if you want to build the north stand of the stadium as you said before, it will cost at least 500,000 pounds." Walsh looked at Xiao Yu with a complaining expression that you don't know Mi Gui if you don't belong home.

There are no stands on the north side of the District Athletic Stadium, which makes the District Athletic Stadium can only accommodate 6,000 people, but Xiao Yu plans to build the north side of the grandstand to make the whole stadium look more perfect, so that it can accommodate at least 10,000 people, so that this stadium can at least meet the needs of the new Manchester United in the next few years.

"It's not about the money, it's about us getting the land, and as you can see, our stadium simply can't meet the needs of the fans, and I'm sure that as we get better and better, there will be more and more fans."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yu suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, Andy, you can find a chance to clarify in the bar, just say that even if our club really buys the new stadium, the price of our tickets will still remain at 5 pounds, and I will definitely not pass on the financial burden of buying the stadium to the fans, we are the new Manchester United, not Manchester United!"

As soon as it was reported that New Manchester United intended to acquire the land of the District Athletic Stadium, some fans began to worry that New Manchester United would increase the price of tickets after buying their new stadium, so Xiao Yu felt the need to clarify.

"If the team is not promoted to the national league, there is really no need to mention the price of the ticket!" Bruce also supported Xiao Yu's decision.

The £5 ticket price is in the middle of the amateur league, but it is low in Manchester, and once in the national league, the average ticket price is at least £10-15, and then the average ticket price increases by around £1-5 for each higher level of the professional league.

It's a pricing rule that all teams across England refer to each other, and once you get to the Premier League, it costs at least £20 to watch a game, which is the highest level in England.

Xiao Yu still remembers that after being bought by the Glazers, the average ticket price of Manchester United rose all the way, and finally reached a staggering 40 pounds, and you must be a member of the club to have such a price, and Old Trafford can accommodate 76,000 fans, so the ticket income per game can reach at least 3 million pounds, which is only calculated according to the minimum ticket price income, otherwise it will be higher.

It is precisely because of Manchester United's ticket revenue and attendance that whether it is Murdoch or the later Glazer family, they can smoothly mortgage the bank through Manchester United's future ticket revenue expectations, and then bring a lot of money to buy the club.

Whenever he thought of this, Xiao Yu secretly swore in his heart that no matter what happened in the future, he would not let the new Manchester United go public, because the listing of the football club itself is the biggest disaster!

PS: Tomorrow is furious, book a recommended ticket for the next week!!
