Located in the north of London, the town of Hitchin has a population of just over 30,000 and is a very quaint traditional English town.

Along the country road at the entrance of the town all the way north, you can see a large supermarket chain called Sansbury on the side of the road, which is the largest and only large supermarket in the town, so business is always very good.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the door of the supermarket opened, and the employees who had already been prepared inside were already dressed in neat uniforms and were already standing in their own areas, waiting for the arrival of customers.

The supermarket's site manager, a middle-aged man in his forties, walked around the store with a roll call book.

In the areas he passed along the way, the service staff greeted him with awe, just because the pen in his hand determined their salary today.

The middle-aged man always had a straight face, expressionless.

When he came to the frozen food section, he suddenly stopped.

"Joel!" The middle-aged man shouted.

A young man immediately ran out of the side, first looked around, and suddenly found that there was one less person in the area he was responsible for, hurried over, and whispered: "Yesterday he went to participate in the Zhou Yue League, played the whole game, and may be coming now." ”

The Zhou Yue League is an amateur regional league that is dedicated to holding matches in Zhou Yucai, and it abounds all over England.

The middle-aged man nodded, "Lost or won?" ”

"Won, 5:0, he knocked the opponent's striker off the field!" Joel said with a smile.

When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately nodded happily, "Then did he wear a jersey with the logo of our supermarket?" ”

"Of course, I reminded him!"

The middle-aged man nodded incessantly, and the pen on the roll call book hit a hook, and Joel was relieved when he saw it.

"Wait a minute, he comes to work, you give this to him!" Before leaving, the middle-aged man seemed to remember something, dug into his pocket for a while, and took out a note with a string of phone numbers written on it.

"Whose phone number?" Joel asked.

"I don't know, I heard that it's a football club, looking for Dave, you just leave it to him." After saying that, the middle-aged man left, and went to don't go to roll call.

Joel took the note, looked at the string of numbers, folded them carefully, and put them in the pocket inside his waterproof uniform.

After about an hour, a young Englishman ran in from outside, and when he walked into the store, he sneaked around, and the female colleague at the cash register made a safe gesture to him in his busy schedule, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

This young man is very tall, at least 1.90 meters tall, and at the same time strong and strong, but he doesn't look bulky at all, he walks like a tiger, but he has a sunny smile on his face, and he should have a good relationship with the rest of the store, at least there are people who keep greeting him along the way.

"Dave, what's the matter with you? What time is it? Joel came out of the freezer with a piece of goods, and when he saw his companion changing shoes, he immediately complained.

"What? The manager scolded you? Dave asked with a smile.

Joel shook his head, "Not really, but he just came to take the roll call." ”

When Dave heard this, his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Seeing him like this, Joel was glad that his prank had succeeded, "But as soon as he heard that you were playing in the logo jersey of the store, he let you go." ”

"Hehe, that's right, I should talk to him about the sponsorship another day!" Dave put on his shoes and jumped to his feet, with a decent bounce.

"Come on, dear Brother Joel, I'm doing this heavy work, you rest!"

After speaking, Dave took the frozen goods in Joel's hand with one hand, and the heavy goods that Joel was holding breathless just now became very relaxed when it arrived in Dave's hands.

"You're a frighteningly strong monster!" Joel said with emotion.

As soon as Dave came to work, he was immediately busy in the frozen food area, and Joel had just taken care of the things that he hadn't sorted out for a long time, and it didn't take long for him to get it done.

"Oh, by the way, Dave, the manager told me just now that someone came looking for you yesterday." Joel suddenly remembered and pulled the note out of his pocket.

"Really? How did I not know? "Dave has a look on his face that you don't want to lie to me.

Joel shook the note in his hand, "You ran ahead of schedule yesterday, he came at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, you should be ready to play football at that time, can you be separated?" ”

Dave shrugged, "Then you say, what is he looking for me?" ”

"He said he represented a football club and just left a phone number for you to be interested in contacting him."

As soon as he heard this, Dave's whole body was shocked, and after a while, he walked over and grabbed the note from Joel's hand.

"Dave, could it be the London team?" Joel was obviously familiar with Dave, and knew that Dave's desire was to become a professional footballer.

"Probably not, the teams there don't look down on us, remember the team from London that we met last time in the league on Sunday? They beat us, but they deliberately played with us, I don't like the team there! Dave was still indignant when he thought about it.

"Then maybe it's a team from somewhere else, you go and call him back, at least someone found it here in person, it should be a little sincere!" Joel persuaded from the sidelines.

Dave looked at the note for a while, and finally put the note back in his pocket, and didn't say anything, "Let's do things first, and then we'll talk about it after work!" ”

In the Sansburi supermarket, Dave and Joel are in charge of the sale of frozen food, and the simple thing is that these frozen things are usually heavy, and it takes strength to take them in and out.

Joel is the kind of person who is very good at accounting, but he is not very good at physical work, but Dave is strong and strong, and he is very neat in his work, and always helps Joel do his job, so that the latter can concentrate on weighing at the front desk.

Supermarket business in the morning is not very good, usually until close to noon to arrive at the first wave of peak season, all supermarket staff can only wait for this wave of peak season to be busy before they can go to eat in batches.

As usual, Joel went to eat first and then came back to change Dave.

"Hey, Dave, remember to call!" Before Dave left, Joel reminded.

Dave nodded and walked out of the supermarket with his head down.

There was a phone booth near the entrance of the supermarket, and Dave had his hands in his pockets, a note with a phone number on the left and a coin on the right.

Hesitating, Dave slowed down, but finally made his way to the phone booth.

Taking a deep breath, Dave pulled out the coin, slipped it into the phone, and pressed the phone number on the note.

"Hey, hello, Xiao Yu, who is it?" A very magnetic man's voice came from the phone.

"Hello, I...... I'm Dave Kitson," Dave said, as if he was afraid that the other party wouldn't remember who he was, and added later, "Employees at the supermarket in the small town of Hitchin Tsunbury." ”

"Oh, hello, Dave!" Xiao Yu on the other side of the phone immediately remembered, "I couldn't go to look for you yesterday, they said that you went to play football in other places, I originally planned that if you didn't call me, I would go back to you in the next few days!" ”

"Thanks, I heard you're a scout for a football club, right?" Dave asked in a trembling voice, looking excited.

"I think I'm representing the new Manchester United, have you heard of our team? A new team in Manchester! Xiao Yu asked.

Dave thought for a moment, "Is it that new team made up of Manchester United fans?" ”

"Yes, we played in the North West Division B last year, won the double, and this year we were escorted to the national league by the FA, I would like to ask you, are you interested in playing in our team."

Dave hesitated, last year the amateur team of Hitchin Town invited him, but he turned it down, because the opponent is also a low-division team in the regional league, he thinks it is better to participate in this kind of team as it is now, because he has a good job now, and at the same time, he can play football with friends every week.

But once you go to an amateur team, how much can you get on a part-time contract? He also had to go to training, which would definitely cost him his job at the supermarket.

But now it's obviously different, the teams in the national league, the fifth division of the English league.

"Excuse me, is it a professional team over there?" Dave asked again.

Xiao Yu smiled, "Last year was semi-professional, but this year it will be turned into a professional team, I think if you still have any questions, maybe you can come to Manchester to see in person, the cost is borne by our team, so that you can also have a more intuitive understanding of our team, if you agree, we can talk about the contract on the spot." ”

Dave was obviously persuaded by Xiao Yu's words, and after thinking about it for a while, he made an appointment with Xiao Yu, and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Dave was still standing in the phone booth, staring at the note in his hand in a daze, and couldn't believe for a long time that a professional club had found him.

"Am I dreaming?" Dave asked mutteringly.

Xiao Yu on the other side of the phone hung up the phone and showed a happy smile, because it was this phone call, half of the powerful center forwards that Capello liked when he coached England in the future already belonged to the new Manchester United.

As for the next negotiations, Xiao Yu is confident that he can keep him in Manchester, as the ambitions of the new Manchester United will excite all players who want to develop in football.

After cleaning up his mood, Xiao Yu turned around and walked back to the Italian restaurant he had just walked out of.

Although he was still in London the previous evening, he had now arrived in a small town on the outskirts of Rome in Italy, and at the same time he had found the man he was looking for.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Alberto!" Xiao Yu smiled and apologized to his guest

PS: New day, new ticketing!
