21 An apology in a different way

Scarlett stood there stunned, forgetting to even take a picture, so much so that she waited until all the United players had walked into the aisle before she chased after her and snapped a hard shot.

Xiao Yu walked out of the office, received the Manchester United stars with a happy face, arranged them into the office, and then he saw Scarlett with a camera.

"Hello, Miss Reporter, can you discuss something?" Xiao Yu walked over and asked with a smile.

Scarlett thought that Xiao Yu was going to stop her from interviewing, so she put the camera down and said in a somewhat unkind tone, "I said, my name is Scarlett Elan, and I am an intern reporter for the sports section of the Manchester City Evening News." ”

"Well, Miss Elan, they're just here to support our friends, and while they're not worried, I don't want them to get into even the slightest bit of trouble for this, can you agree?" Xiao Yu still had a smile on his face.

But in Scarlett's opinion, this guy is a bit hypocritical, and what he says sounds like intimidation.

"Friends?" Scarlett was a little surprised, she couldn't see that this kid was so wide-ranging, and so many Manchester United stars came to support him.

"Yes, they are all my friends, and besides, if you will promise me, I can give you a scoop as compensation, I promise, this news is definitely not known to anyone else, you are the first!"

Scarlett hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was indeed easy for people to create gimmicks with the presence of so many stars here, such as the stars were showing support for the new Manchester United in this way, or they were dissatisfied with some of the club's policies.

But Scarlett is clearly not the kind of unscrupulous journalist, she likes to pay attention to evidence rather than chasing after the wind.

"Okay, I promise!" Scarlett nodded in agreement.

"You just saw Steve Bruce, who has accepted our club's contract and will be our player-manager for the next three years."

Scarlett was taken aback at first, but quickly frowned, "That's it?" ”

"That's right, Miss Reporter, I promise, you're definitely the first reporter to know about the news, really!" After speaking, Xiao Yu didn't entangle him more, and went straight back to the office.

Scarlett stared at Xiao Yu's back, gritting her teeth with hatred in her heart, such a piece of news, even if Xiao Yu didn't say it, she would be able to find out in the warm-up game later.

But even so, Scarlett doesn't plan to report on those stars, in addition to agreeing to Xiao Yu, but also because she thinks it's not good, but she will definitely say in the report that these stars came to cheer and so on.

Although she was very unhappy with Xiao Yu, Scarlett continued to stay in the stadium, and she sat in the stands, staring at the entrance of the stadium and the office.

As the time drew closer, more and more fans began to enter, and players from both sides of the game arrived, entering the rudimentary locker rooms on the left and right sides of the stadium gates.

Although it was an amateur warm-up match, De Roysden invited three part-time referees from Manchester, and the ball boys around the pitch were all from Droisden's youth team.

There were more and more fans, and Scarlett found that the originally mottled stands were gradually dyed bright red, and sitting among the fans, she only heard the voices of the people around her, some singing, some cheering, and some chatting.

The chaotic grandstand made Scarlett feel depressed for a while, and the quiet stands at Old Trafford seemed to her taste, even though many long-time fans in the newspaper criticized Old Trafford for becoming more and more uneventful.

…………

…………

When the time was fixed at 4 p.m., the referee on duty blew the first warm-up game since the establishment of the new Manchester United.

The new Manchester United used a 442 formation in this game, and the goalkeeper was Robert Kane, an 18-year-old young player on loan from Droisden, the 1.86-meter-tall goalkeeper was a little thin, but he was very flexible and had good reactions, and he had been in Droisden before but was a substitute goalkeeper, but he didn't get any chances.

The centre-back is Steve Bruce's alongside 25-year-old Garay Turner, who has been playing in the English amateur league before, is 1.88m tall, has good heading skills, and is physically strong, but his technique is rough at his feet, and his slow turning speed is his biggest flaw.

At left wing-back is Patrice Patrice Patrice Evra, a 17-year-old Frenchman who is very fast and has come to terms with his drop-off after a period of training with Steve Bruce.

Right wing-back Kevin Evan, 28, who trained in United's Academy and has since been involved in the amateur team, is 183 tall and physically strong, but slow enough to play at centre-back.

In midfield, Karl Maternson was paired with Stephen Smith, with the former playing at the back and leaning towards defence, while Smith was given more of a forward and organisational role.

On the left flank is 23-year-old Ricky Verence, whose only strength is speed.

The right midfielder is Darren Lyons, who is nicknamed the new Manchester United Beckham by Xiao Yu, a set-piece master on the field of the new Manchester United, and the most dangerous passer of all the players of the new Manchester United, especially his curling crosses and long balls from the back, which can always create a threat.

The strikers were partnered by Rodri Giggs and Jonathan Maiden, who have performed well in training matches, especially the latter, and as a former professional, Maiten's scoring ability has been a guarantee of the new United's attacking firepower this season.

In addition to the eleven players on the pitch, there were also substitutes from the new Manchester United on the bench.

The substitute goalkeeper is 19-year-old David Green, who is 1.91m tall, Roy Williams at right wing-back but occasionally on the left, Danny Collins at centre-back, Ben West at back, Victor Moses in midfield, Frank Karak on the left, Adam Hamme, who can play as a right midfielder and striker, and David Bell as a striker.

Since they couldn't participate in the game, Messi and Curtis accompanied Xiao Yu to stand on the sidelines, help pick up the ball, and watch the ball by the way.

When the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, it was De Roysden who kicked off first.

As a team in the North Division, Droysden has bought three players this year, one of whom is a striker who was once the top scorer in the League C, but now he is over 30 years old, but his strength is still there.

Like many England teams, De Roysden also played in a 442 formation, with parallel positions in the midfield, so at the beginning of the game, the two sides fought fiercely in the midfield, and even Jonathan Maiten was asked by Steve Bruce to return to the defense, leaving only Rodri Giggs alone.

In an amateur team like this, you can never ask for a high level of skill and tactics in addition to the intensity, after all, they are all composed of a group of amateur players, so most of the time the referee is the protagonist.

Not a misjudge, of course, but a whistle for a foul.

It was clear that both sides were more defensive than they were, so they didn't get too many decent chances until the 23rd minute of the first half, when Stephen Smith cut off the opponent's pass with a sliding tackle in midfield and passed it straight to Rodri Giggs in front.

Although not as fast as his brother Ryan Giggs, Rodri Giggs was still very fast, and De Roysden's defenders could not stop him at all, so they could only pull him down after he broke through, and the new United won a free-kick in front.

It was too far away to go straight to the door, but Darren Lyons' free-kick arced and found Steve Bruce in the far corner, who could only swing the ball down the middle of the pitch due to the interference of the opposition centre-backs.

Carl Marginson slapped his horse and slammed his right foot into a slam shot.

This guy usually said that he had never shown even a little bit of long-range shooting kung fu in training, and now he just saw the ball flying over, and there was no one in front of him, so he had the mentality of trying it out, but who would have thought that the ball would hang directly in the upper left corner of the goal.

The ball is in! 1:0!

All the fans at the scene immediately cheered, like a pot of boiling water, instantly igniting all the passion, and the entire butcher's knife stadium completely turned into a sea of joy.

Carl Maternson, who scored the first goal since the founding of the new Manchester United, although it was only a warm-up game, this goal will definitely go down in the history books of the new Manchester United.

All the new Manchester United players came to Matkinson because of their love for Manchester United, which led them to the new United United, so although they didn't get along for a long time, they all had a good relationship.

But Marginson put aside all his teammates, went straight to the side of the court, came to Xiao Yu, hugged him hard and desperately, and then shouted loudly in his ear, "I'm sorry!" ”

Since the last time he injured Xiao Yu, Marginson has always felt guilty, he wanted to apologize to Xiao Yu, but he couldn't say anything, because he has never been a person who is good at expressing his emotions, so he can only secretly make up his mind in his heart, and when he scores the first goal for the new Manchester United, he will apologize to Xiao Yu.

As a midfielder, Martinson has never scored in an official match, so he originally thought that he would never get a chance again, but who would have thought that he would score in his first game for the new Manchester United, and it was such a wonderful goal!

Scarlett in the stands was originally going to hunt down Marginson's joyful expression after scoring a goal, but who knew that he found out that he hugged Xiao Yu, so she naturally took this one, and took several photos in one go.

Xiao Yu was a little out of breath when he was hugged by Marginson, he desperately broke free from him, gasped for a few breaths, looked at Marginson, who had already walked back to the court, and shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"You bastard, you don't have to apologize!"

Messi and Curtis next to him had funny expressions, and thought to themselves, such an apology is really unique!

ps: Wow, the vote in favor of the Red Rebels and the Red Devils to become mortal enemies is close to 45%, it seems that everyone is a very evil group of people, haha!!

In fact, there are only 4 options to vote for, otherwise, teams such as Liverpool, Leeds United, Bolton, Chelsea and other teams should join in, and they are all mortal enemies of Manchester United fans!
