In fact, Scarlett was waiting for Xiao Yu at the door of the apartment, just wanting to ask him if he could find an opportunity to do an interview for the Manchester City Evening News, but I don't know why, every time she saw Xiao Yu's annoying appearance, Scarlett was angry.

In the end, although she took revenge on Xiao Yu, she was also accused by the editor-in-chief the next day, which made her new and old hatred, and counted all the accounts on Xiao Yu's head, and her resentment towards him deepened.

But hate and hate, Scarlett is still very trustworthy, at least she did not take the new Manchester United as the target of attack this time, in the report, she neutrally stated her opinion, that the new Manchester United has little hope of winning.

However, there was little discussion about this game within the new Manchester United, as if everyone just treated this game as an ordinary Northwest Division B game, which is what Xiao Yu and Bruce want to see.

Two days after the draw was announced, the new Manchester United won another Northwest Division B game with a 5-1 win at the Butcher's Knife Stadium, before heading to the away stadium a day earlier.

may have felt the importance of this game to the team, and the injured Cavinson and Williams and others all wanted to accompany the team, and Xiao Yu finally agreed to their request after discussing it with Bruce.

As the new Manchester United are only a semi-professional team in England's 10th tier, it is only natural that they will not be able to live in a five-star hotel like the big clubs who visit London, they will have to stay in a quieter and comfortable hotel and train in a university training ground.

The new Manchester United starting line-up for this game was not unexpected, with Jonathan Madten and Rodri Giggs up front, the two pairs of the new United have been key to the success of the new United this season, especially Jonathan Madten, who has scored 32 goals in the league so far and is the top scorer in the 10th tier, and Rodri Giggs has also scored 21 goals.

As for midfield, Frank Clarke and Darren Lyons played as left and right wing-backs, while injuries to Martin and Ben West meant Bruce had to use a balanced position, partnering Stephen Smith and Victor Moses, but both of them were a cause for concern, but fortunately Arsenal have been the same two-man midfield approach this season.

The central defenders are still Steve Bruce and Gary Turner, and the two central defenders are getting more and more accommodating together, but because Bruce also has to juggle the responsibilities of the team's head coach, and he is too old to physically support the whole season, Danny Collins has also played a lot this season.

Kevin Evan on the right and Patrice Evra on the left, the two full-backs are the only ones available to the new United, and if they are injured again, they will be forced to play a back three.

The goalkeeper is Robert Kane, a young player who has performed well this season and is one of the more consistent performances of the new Manchester United players, but De Roysden has made it clear that they will promote Robert Kane to be the main goalkeeper next season, so even Xiao Yu will not be able to play the favor card to David Pace.

Due to the full number of injured players and the shortage of personnel, there is almost no suspense about the main squad of the new Manchester United, which has been continuously announced in the newspapers before the game.

This reminded Xiao Yu of the later Real Madrid, that is, because of the excessive attention received by the media, Real Madrid's every move was concerned by the media, and the tactics were almost impossible to speak of, and at the same time brought huge pressure to the players, which was also a major reason for Real Madrid's subsequent defeat in the Champions Cup.

"What's wrong? Didn't sleep well all night last night? In the hotel room, Walsh saw Xiao Yu, who kept yawning after getting up, which was very different from him who was always energetic.

"I went to bed late, David and Roy both made several phone calls last night." Xiao Yu casually made an excuse, in fact, the phone call between Beckham and Keane was at 9 o'clock in the evening, but Xiao Yu didn't fall asleep until 2 o'clock in the middle of the night.

I don't know why, anyway, I'm lying in bed, tossing and turning, thinking about tomorrow's game, I can't sleep, this is the first game of the new Manchester United to really qualify on TV, but the opponent is Arsenal, which makes Xiao Yu worry that his team will be defeated?

"What? Do they really want us to take out Arsenal for them? Walsh asked with a smile.

Xiao Yu smiled, "Roy thinks, if he says he can, let our players let go of their hands and feet, put the Arsenal players to death, and directly abolish two or three main players after the opening." ”

"Huh? He's so ruthless? Walsh laughed along, and everyone could tell that it was a joke.

However, Xiao Yu's imitation tone was vivid, and he had learned Keane's posture enough.

"David and the others let us not have too much psychological pressure, after all, Arsenal are too strong!" When he said this, Xiao Yu's smile froze.

Yes, everyone knows that Arsenal is like an unclimbable Mount Everest for the new Manchester United, even Xiao Yu himself knows it, but when everyone says that, you will find it difficult to accept.

People can't be blindly arrogant, but they can't be arrogant either, can they?

"You're unwilling, aren't you?" Walsh knew Xiao Yu very well, and he could see his mind at once.

Xiao Yu nodded, "Yes, I am very unwilling, although I know it very well in my heart, but in fact I still feel unwilling, especially when I get closer and closer to the game, this unwillingness will become heavier." ”

"Just a few days ago, I was telling Bruce that we can't beat Arsenal, and I thought I was very sensible, so I looked at things very clearly and organized, but now, I find that I can't judge, I just think, I'm fucking unwilling!" In the end, Xiao Yu gritted his teeth.

"It's normal, because it proves that you still have the fighting spirit, you don't want to lose, even when you're facing a game where everyone thinks we should lose, and you lose completely, you're still struggling, even if you have your last breath left, you're still struggling desperately, trying to shout, I don't want to lose!" Walsh also looked excited.

Although he is over thirty years old, he is actually still a very aggressive fan, otherwise, he would not have supported Xiao Yu until now.

"What do you think I should do?" Xiao Yu asked with a wry smile.

Walsh walked over, sat next to Xiao Yu, patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, and said: "I think you should speak up and tell the players what you think, at least let them know that you, the boss, have not given up on this game, even if this is a game that everyone will definitely lose." ”

Xiao Yu looked at Walsh, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "Andy, I really didn't find out, it turns out that you are still a lobbyist with excellent eloquence!" ”

Walsh laughed as soon as he heard this.

On the bus to Highbury Stadium, all the players were silent, everyone hung their heads, some looked out the window, some closed their eyes, and some were boredly fiddling with their fingers, but no one made a sound.

Bruce sat in the first row, and next to him was Kassel, who worked part-time as Bruce's assistant.

Xiao Yu hesitated for a while, but finally stood up.

The coughing sound was like thunder in the silent bus compartment, waking everyone up, including Bruce, who looked at Xiao Yu as he walked into the bus aisle, who was obviously brewing something to say.

"Uh...... A few days ago, the woman who lived upstairs from me, the Manchester City Evening News reporter who often covered us, told me, hey, rascal, you're fighting Arsenal and you're going to lose! ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Yu himself laughed, "After listening to it at the time, I didn't feel anything, I just thought, ah, if you lose, you lose, and it's not a shame to lose to Arsenal, but I don't know why, a few friends called me last night and said, man, don't burden yourself too much on Arsenal!" ”

"Then I've been thinking, it's like people all over the world think, we're going to lose, why?"

Xiao Yu spread his hands and asked all the players in front of him.

Although Xiao Yu is not the head coach, and he is very young, in fact, his prestige in this team is not lost to Bruce at all, because this is not an ordinary team, and it is also a team founded by Xiao Yu with all his money, if this team is compared to a person, then the head coach is the brain of this person, controlling his behavior, but Xiao Yu is the heart of this person.

"Seriously, I'm not reconciled, I'm very unwilling, I don't understand, why do you think we must lose? Is it because we're a team in the 10th tier? Or is it because Arsenal are a strong team? But once these are on the football field, does it have anything to do with the outcome of the game? ”

"Football is a game of 22 people together, and the result of the game is decided by these 22 people on the pitch, whether it is a giant, whether it is a 10th division team or a Premier League team, it has not even the slightest relationship, so I asked myself, will you be willing?" The more Xiao Yu spoke, the more excited he became.

"Tell me, guys, will you be willing?" Eventually, it turned into a question of the players.

Everyone raised their heads and stared at Xiao Yu with red eyes.

"I'm not reconciled!" The injured Cartinson was the first to stand up and yell.

"I'm not reconciled!" Evra shouted.

"Me too!" Lyons chimed in.

In the end, all the players in the whole bus stood up and shouted "unwilling"!

"Well, if you are not reconciled, then we will take back our dignity on the pitch, and then tell everyone that we are not the little Red Devils, we are the Red Rebels, we are not afraid of any opponent, even if it is a super strong team from the Premier League, we can also beat them down, because our Red Rebels are fearless!"

Bruce behind him saw Xiao Yu's subdued declaration, and immediately laughed, "This kid is quite good at demagoguery!" ”

Walsh kept nodding, "But at least after listening to it, I also felt my blood boiling, and I wanted to rush to the field and do a big job!" ”
