"Hello, Denis!"
"Hello, Martin!"
At Manchester Airport, the well-known host of Red Rebel TV, Martin? Samuel received a report from France's [French Football] reporting team Denis, who is a senior executive of French football magazine, and came to Manchester for only one purpose, hoping to produce a special report on the Red Rebels Newton Heath Academy.

"Frankly, Denis, I'm curious if the winner of this year's European Ballon d'Or has been revealed?" Martin? Samuel gossiped as he would love to get a little bit of the inside scoop so that he could boost the ratings of his show.
Dennis smiled and shook his head, "You know, Martin, I can't say much!" β
"But I can guess!" Martin? Samuel laughed mischievously, "He must be from the Red Rebels, right?" β
Dennis smiled, "That's what you guessed!" β
Martin? Samuel laughed, he knew he had guessed correctly, but it wasn't something very difficult to guess, in fact, the Red Rebels had a number of players who were the favorites of the year, and the Magic Quartet in the front court was almost finalized, and one of them must win the award.
The question is, who is it?
All four players were perfect, with Sergio Aguero being the worse and the lowest likely winners, but Ronaldo, Messi and Kaka were all so good that anyone deserved to win the award, especially so far this season, when the Red Rebels have won on all fronts, putting these three players in the limelight.
From a professional point of view, Kaka's award is even more deserved, after all, the Brazilian has played a crucial role in the Red Rebels, and Ronaldo's form has dropped slightly this season after two seasons of peak performance, but his quality should not be underestimated.
As for Messi, he has shown an uncontrollable goal momentum, and his performance seems to follow the trajectory of Xiao Xiaoluo's ascension to the throne that year, everyone is optimistic that he will be the next footballer, but no one knows if he can play this year.
"Martin, we have a tight schedule, do you have any better arrangements?" On the bus back to Manchester, Dennis asked with concern that he was worried about returning to France as soon as possible.
"Of course, don't worry, Denis, a Red Rebels Under-13 game against Manchester City, a Premier League game against Fulham, and an interview with Newton Heath training base, but Mr. Mourinho can't arrange time, so I can only invite the Academy director, Coach Mulensteen, for you according to your request!"
When Denis heard this, he immediately nodded happily, which can already guarantee that his trip to Manchester will be a full return!
"Thank you so much, Martin, when can we start?" Dennis asked anxiously.
"Right now!" Martin? Samuel laughed.
The car sped directly from the ring road, and when passing the Red Rebel Stadium, Dennis took a few long shots with his camera, and then kept marveling at the artistic surname of this luxurious stadium, as well as the strength of the Red Rebel Stadium, which has never been captured by opponents, which is the pride of the Red Rebels.
Shortly after passing the Red Rebels Stadium, Martin? Samuel and his entourage made their way to the Manchester City Academy in the northern part of the city, next to the City Stadium.
Although it was only a game for the U13 age group, it also attracted the attention of many fans, and the scene was also crowded, and Manchester City also specially arranged staff to maintain order at the scene.
"Wait a minute, don't look dumbfounded!" Martin? Samuel reminded.
Dennis didn't know why, so he could only smile, but as soon as he approached the court, he immediately found the most eye-catching scenery in the crowd around the court.
Xiao ...... Feather?! Eva...... Snow?! And also...... David Beckham, the ...... Oh, my God! Dennis pointed in disbelief into the distance, Xiao Yu and Beckham were talking, but it was obvious that they had also noticed Martin coming in? Samuel, smiling, nodded to the acquaintance in greeting, and then talked to himself.
Martin? Samuel nodded with a smile, "Of course, you should know that there are three very good players in the Red Rebels U13 team, one is the number one center in the team, Xiao Yu's adopted son Gao Ren!" β
Gao Ren, the name Denis, is no stranger, he is known as another bright talent rising in the Red Rebels' academy, he has broken almost all academy goals and assists records, excellent physical fitness, very fast, very well-rounded, is the future star of the Red Rebels.
There have been a number of Premier League teams who have unknowingly conspired to get Gao Ren, and even Manchester City once bid as much as 15 million pounds, hoping to buy out Gao Ren's apprenticeship contract directly, but unfortunately, when they learned that Gao Ren is Xiao Yu's adopted son, they completely dispelled this idea.
"The number one assister for the Under-13s, David Beckham's eldest son, Brooklyn, is a full-time midfielder with great skills and a big-picture vision, and he is only 10 years old this year, and he has only recently been promoted to the Under-13 age!"
"Ryan? Davies, a young rookie who returned to England from Australia to play for the Red Rebels, is the number one striker in the Red Rebels' U13 team, 11 years old this year, with excellent skills, and is known as the new Messi of the Red Rebels. β
Listening to Samuel reading these names one by one, Dennis was not surprised, these names are not unfamiliar to him, in the era of information so transparent, as long as young players perform a little better, they will immediately be dug up by the media, especially living in a super giant team like the Red Rebels.
Looking at the number of reporters and media around the scene, there must be countless scouts and coaches lurking in the crowd, and these young rookies want to go unnoticed, which is absolutely impossible.
"Martin, can you help me arrange a few questions for Xiao Yu and Beckham?" Dennis asked, with some anticipation, this is the kind of treatment that countless football journalists can only dream of.
Sure enough, Martin? Samuel shook his head, "I'm sorry, Denis, it's not that I don't want to help, it's that Mr. Xiao Yu doesn't take care of things now, so he won't be interviewed!" β
Dennis couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he heard this, but his attention was quickly drawn to the game.
It was a no-brainer game, with the Red Rebels dominating throughout, with Goren opening the scoring with an indirect free-kick to head past City's Under-13s before heading in the back of the net with another overhead kick.
Ryan? Davis and Brooklyn? Beckham is not far behind, and these two young players are also very active in the game. Davis scored two shots and two passes, and Brooklyn scored a hat-trick of assists.
The outstanding performance of this group of young players led the Red Rebels U13 to defeat Manchester City U13 2:8 away!
"If it's a game of the same age, there are very few teams in England, England, even Europe, and even the whole world that can compete with our Red Rebels' Academy!" Martin? Samuel said with some smugness.
Dennis didn't want to admit it, but he had to accept it.
One of the most obvious examples is this season's early-season training camp, the Red Rebels academy chose to train in France, and French football has also been specially tracked, but the Red Rebels team has beaten some of the proudest youth teams in France to the ground, and achieved a complete victory, which also makes people have to accept their strength and lose convincingly.
"They will be the hope for the future of the Red Rebels!" Dennis muttered.
And when he thought of this, he was even more interested, and wanted to understand what kind of environment could cultivate so many football talents for the Red Rebels.
Martin? An hour after the game, Samuel took Dennis and his party to the Newton Heath training base to interview the Red Rebels' academy director, the famous Dutch youth coach Mulensteen.
........................ "Hello, RenΓ©! β
"Hello, friend from France!" Muhrensteen seems to be very relatable, which is a trait that an academy coach must have, and it is difficult for someone to teach these children without affability.
The TV camera was focused on Mulensteen, and the Dutch was clearly unnatural, but he did his best to cooperate.
"Judging from the momentum of this year's European Ballon d'Or, as well as the top five World Footballer of the Year rankings announced by FIFA, the Red Rebels occupy the vast majority of the places without exception, and the top three may have a very large surname, what do you think about this?"
"I think it's not so much the victory of the players as the victory of the Red Rebels, the victory of the system that the Red Rebels have created and adhered to over the years, and the victory of the concept of youth training that has been adhered to for many years." β
"At present, several players who are very popular, Ronaldo, Aguero and Messi are all players who came out of the Red Rebels Academy, they all came to Manchester at the age of 15 or 16, and after being carved by the Red Rebels Academy, they were promoted to the first team, and then became the world's top superstar, what kind of environment can create such a group of stars?"
"Kaka is also a youth product!" Mulenstin reminded with a smile, "I think there is only one key to youth training, persistence!" We at the Red Rebels have invested a lot of money and money in the youth system every season, and we have a professional coaching staff and team doctor at every age group who can provide the best football knowledge and physical protection to the players. β
"Not only that, our training is very scientific, we will teach each player the best and most suitable development path according to their aptitude, we encourage them to play their own role, and encourage them to develop their own surname."
When Denis heard this, he immediately asked: "But the surnames of young players are too obvious, which often leads to an increase in trouble, but as far as I can see, the Red Rebels don't seem to have much trouble in this regard!" β
Muhrensteen smiled wryly, "It's all young people, it's impossible to have no trouble, for example, we often get reports from nearby fans that they saw young players dancing in a certain nightclub, but our attitude towards this is to guide, not restrict, we will try to make them understand the harm of this kind of behavior to them." β
"We attach great importance to the cultural curriculum, not only for the sake of the future of the players, but also for the philosophy of our youth system, first learn to be a person, then learn to be a good person, and finally play good football!"
"You put the football last?" Denis was a little surprised.
"Of course, compared to life, you will find that football is actually very small, so every child around 10 years old enters the Red Rebels Academy, our first requirement is to study, like ordinary children, live in the homes of fans in the vicinity, take the team bus to school every day, study like ordinary people, without the slightest exception."
"Including children in the homes of nearby fans?"
"Yes, we have buses to and from school, training and home every day, which are provided by the club for free and are a big expense in the youth system!"
"We have always encouraged the parents of the players to join the youth program, after all, the family counselling and the education of the team are complementary to each other, and the development of any person is indispensable to the help of parents, and we have a number of psychologists, teachers and staff to help and counsel these children."
Dennis nodded in admiration, in this regard, the Red Rebels' academy is indeed more advanced than other teams, but recently many teams have begun to compete with the Red Rebels to learn from what the Red Rebels are doing.
"I heard that in the Red Rebels academy, there is an unwritten rule that players who fail in their studies will not be allowed to play in games, is that true?"
"That's right, but not a failing grade, it's a noticeable regression, Cristiano? Ronaldo was banned several times and he almost had to leave the team because of that, but I'm glad he stayed and understood that we were doing it for his sake. β
"What about Messi? What kind of kid was he in the Academy? β
Muhrensteen suddenly laughed, "Leo is a very shy little ghost, he has been like this since he was a child, but when he first came to the team, the situation was really bad, he had some physical problems, the team was only a low-level league team at the time, and spent a lot of money to treat him, that period of time was simply a catastrophe for him, but fortunately, Mr. Xiao Yu, the team and his family were all around to support and encourage him." β
"Another very important feature of the Red Rebels Academy is that it is said that they are eaten together in the restaurant, is that right?"
"Yes, the first-team players, the Academy players, the coaching staff, the staff, even the senior management of the club, all had a meal together to make everyone understand that every player in the Red Rebels is just part of the club and no one is special!"
"But there are a lot of young players who can't help but leave Newton Heath!" Dennis smiled wryly.
Mulensteen smiled heartily and nodded in the affirmative, "That's for sure, we have a strong first team, although the academy is very good, and every season there is a group of young and promising rookies, but it is impossible for all rookies to play for the first team, so some young players can only look for opportunities outside the team, and some even go straight to college." β
"Is there a clear rule on how many academy players must be in the Red Rebels' first team?"
Muhrensteen shook his head, "No, absolutely not, but we pay attention to one thing, and that is competition!" β
"If the local youth player does not meet the requirements of the club's first team, and rashly promotes him to the first team in order to meet the target, it is a seedling to help grow, which is not a good thing for the team and the players; On the other hand, if a player has enough quality, he can pose a threat to the first-team players through his performances, compete with them, and even push them to the bench to win opportunities for himself! β
"Whether it's the first team or the academy, we put a lot of emphasis on competition, because we believe that competition is the driving force behind each other's progress, and in this regard, the current situation of our team is very good, the vast majority of the first team are players from the academy, they are very familiar with each other, tacit understanding, this is our huge treasure!"
"So how do you transfer the rookie embryo that came out of the academy to Mourinho?"
'It's very simple, the first-team coaching staff such as Jose Mourinho and Kassel, as well as the scouting department such as Boas, are keeping a close eye on the Academy, and we have a lot of games in the Academy every year, which allows every player to get a lot of training opportunities and as long as they show quality, they immediately attract the attention of the first team.
"Is this how Messi was also excavated?"
"Yes! Mourinho often watches the academy games and training, he was impressed by Messi's skill when he first saw him, he is a genius, he has been since he was a child! β
"When Messi won some awards, he once mentioned you among the people he thanked, as a mentor that Messi respects, what do you think of Messi's current development momentum?"
"He's an incredible player, like Ronaldo, Kaka and Sergio Aguero, they're all very good, Messi's technique is the most delicate of all, almost no one can guard him one-on-one, but he still needs to improve the aggression he plays." β
"The shy surname has made Messi, but at the same time it has also become a stumbling block for Messi to go further, I know very well with Mourinho and Moniz and others, and we have given him a lot of advice, thinking that he should be more proactive and more aggressive, and I am glad that he has found and improved on this problem."
"Messi's explosion this season and the progress he has made has a lot to do with this, and we all believe that as Messi rises and matures, he can bring more help to the team, and then our Red Rebels will become stronger!"
After hearing this, Dennis couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, this trip was fruitful, "Last question, Mr. Mulenstin, the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year are about to be announced, who do you think is more qualified to be elected for the many big-name superstars in the Red Rebel Army?" β
Muhrensteen was stunned, isn't this tantamount to letting him make a choice?
The palm of the hand is meat, and the back of the hand is also meat, so what can he do?
Mulenstin is an honest man, he doesn't know how to be so twisted and turned, and after hesitating for a while, he said with a red face: "I can't answer this question, in my heart, they are all equally good, and they all deserve these honors!" β
After hearing this, Dennis and everyone at the scene couldn't help but laugh.
It was also after this interview that the major awards at the end of the year also kicked off one after another!
