It was another rare sunny day, and Xiao Yu came to the Newton Heath training base early.

The main body of the training building of the training base has been completed, and all that remains is the decoration and introduction of equipment, as for the laboratory of the training base, it has already been put into use, and Xiao Yu has invested a lot of money one after another, but it has not been able to see much effect yet.

But that's the way this kind of research works, when you deal with him every day, it's hard to see what he's doing, but once you lose him, you realize that he's so important to you.

Isn't this a bit like Real Madrid losing Claude Makelele?

"Morning, Xiao Yu!" Bruce, as always, arrived at the training base on time.

As long as it is training time, Bruce will arrive at the training base on time and then start arranging training with the coaching staff, as well as setting up the training ground himself.

But today, he came to Xiao Yu unusually.

"Morning, Steve, is there something wrong?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile.

In Manchester, as long as he can see the sun, he is in a good mood.

"It's a bit of a thing, I think it's necessary to talk to you first!" Bruce seemed to want to laugh, but he couldn't.

"About the team?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile.

Bruce shook his head, "About the coach!" ”

"Oh, don't worry, I'll start working on the coaching staff and the youth coaches as soon as possible, but you know, it's not something that can be done overnight, you need to give me a little time, you know, I've been busy with the new stadium lately."

With the improvement of the club's performance, many young players around have come to the club to sign up, hoping to enter the club for training, and the new Manchester United will not refuse to come, as long as they have a certain talent, they will be accepted.

In addition, the club also cooperates with nearby schools to send coaches to these schools for football training, so that the club can also find younger players and then nurture them.

These are all part of the youth system of English teams, and the ones who do train at Newton Heath are usually the best players of their age around them, while the rest are scattered around the school.

With the expansion of the new Manchester United youth team, the coach's rental manpower is becoming more and more tight, and Bruce has mentioned to Xiao Yu before that the size of the coaching staff should be expanded and some youth team coaches should be recruited.

"No, Xiao Yu, I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about me!" Bruce hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to say it, after all, he didn't want to catch Xiao Yu off guard at that time.

"About you? What the hell is going on, Steve? Xiao Yu asked with concern.

'You know, in June, when I was on holiday, I was approached by a League Two team who wanted me to be their manager, but I turned it down.

Xiao Yu nodded, Bruce had talked about this matter during casual conversation, but at that time, Bruce had an agreement with Xiao Yu that he would coach in the club for another year, so he refused the other party's invitation.

Now that Bruce mentioned it again, Xiao Yu suddenly felt an ominous premonition rise in his heart.

"Did they find you again?"

"It's not them, it's Birmingham, you know, it's hard for me to say no to this club!"

After Bruce left Manchester United, he went to Birmingham to play, and later he became a head coach, and it was also in this club that he became famous, it can be said that in Xiao Yu's previous life, Bruce and Birmingham had an inextricable relationship.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that this club would really come to the door!

"Birmingham have had a good run of results in League One in recent years, they were almost promoted in the previous two years, and although their results have dropped this year, there is still a lot of hope for promotion, so are they going to change managers at this time?"

Bruce shook his head, "No, not now, it's the end of the season, whether this season, whether Birmingham are promoted to the Premier League or not, they will change managers, and they think I'm the best fit for them, you know, they're tired of dropping the chain on the back of the door for three years in a row." ”

Xiao Yu thought about it, yes, for more than a year, Bruce's achievements in coaching the new Manchester United are obvious to all, although Xiao Yu's reinforcements have played a great role, but Bruce's adjustment is also very crucial, at least he has built the new Manchester United into a fearless iron-blooded army.

But anyone who doubts should look at the new Manchester United in the past two seasons against strong teams, as well as the results in key moments, almost all wins, in the 12th round of this season is a big away win over Kidmminster, hailed as the most classic game in the first half of the season.

In that game, Bruce's tactics comprehensively suppressed Kidderminster, which was more indicative of Bruce's level.

"Half a year later?" Xiao Yu smiled bitterly, he felt that he should thank Bruce at this time and tell himself this news half a year in advance, so that he could be prepared.

Birmingham's sincerity to Bruce is unquestionable, and Bruce's affection for Xiao Yu is not in doubt, what is really to blame is that this damn rule allows the new Manchester United to slowly climb up step by step.

If the new Manchester United are now a Premier League team, will Bruce still go?

"I know I'm sorry, Xiao Yu, but you know, I don't want to give up this opportunity, but you can rest assured that in the next six months, I will help you bring the new Manchester United to the League C, and at the same time I will win as many titles as possible, this is my promise to you."

After Xiao Yu heard this, he suddenly smiled bitterly.

"Steve, it looks like you've really made up your mind, and it's not negotiable?"

Bruce shrugged, "It's just a verbal agreement, but you know, I'm not going to break my promise!" ”

yes, Steve Bruce isn't the kind of person who doesn't keep his word!

Talking about this, Xiao Yu suddenly knew that Bruce's determination to leave no longer needed to be retained, because he would not look back, even if Birmingham did not change the coach at the end of the season and he was unemployed, he would not stay at the new Manchester United.

He is so arrogant, he has long felt that the new Manchester United can no longer satisfy him, so even if Birmingham does not want him, he would rather lose his job and wait for the opportunity of the high-level team, rather than lead the new Manchester United and climb up step by step.

The former world-class centre-back keeps his eyes on the top of the league, and this is a real-life Steve Bruce!

Can you say he's wrong? This is his pursuit, and he is also very benevolent!

"I understand, Steve, I respect your decision, and I hope you'll change your mind, even though I know it's unlikely!" Xiao Yu said with a wry smile.

Bruce smiled, he felt that Xiao Yu knew him well, if it wasn't for the low level of the new Manchester United, it would be really good to work with Xiao Yu, at least he would be very happy to bring you some excellent and young players, and at the same time would not interfere with the team's skills and tactics.

There aren't many club owners like that!

"I want you to keep this a secret, Steve, you know, I don't want the team to be distracted!" Xiao Yu thought about it and said.

Bruce nodded, "Don't worry, so far, no fourth person knows except the boss of Birmingham, you, and me." ”

"I still want you to promise me one more thing!" Xiao Yu suddenly thought of something very important.

"Well, you say!"

"After the season, don't take players away from the team!" Xiao Yu stared at Bruce.

In the current new Manchester United club, there are young players such as Kic, Knovic, Paulson, Abidal and other young players who have already shown very good strength, as well as promising future stars such as Essien, Messi and Curtis.

Xiao Yu runs New Manchester United, and it can be said that in terms of the team, he is completely relieved to leave everything to Bruce, so when Bruce decides to leave and jump ship to another club, Xiao Yu can agree, but he will not agree to poach the players brought by Xiao Yu from the club.

Making wedding dresses for others, Xiao Yu will not do it!

Bruce obviously hesitated in the face of Xiao Yu's forced gaze, it can be seen that he has a preference for many players in the club, and once he goes to Birmingham in the Championship, with money and high salary, Xiao Yu is really worried, can these players withstand the temptation?

"I can only promise you, Xiao Yu, if I fall in love with the new Manchester United players, I will definitely discuss with you as soon as possible, unless you decide to sell, otherwise, I will not take anyone here!"

Xiao Yu smiled helplessly, he knew that it was good for Bruce to be able to make such a promise.

When Van Gaal's contract with Ajax expired and went to Barcelona, he patted his chest with the chairman of Ajax and promised that he would never take a player from Ajax, but what was the result? The De Boer brothers, Litmanen and others were brought to Spain in the season when he was in charge of Barcelona.

In his previous life, the reason why Xiao Yu had a bad impression of Van Gaal, even though he had made very brilliant achievements, Xiao Yu still didn't like him, because of his treachery back then.

But this is the reality, a reality that no matter how capable Xiao Yu is, he can't change it!

"Steve, I think the coaching staff should train Crouch's headers more, and I will talk to Professor Flair and others to help Crouch arrange a training schedule to strengthen his physical fitness as much as possible."

Bruce was stunned for a moment, but soon understood, and nodded a little ashamedly in agreement.

Kic, this very good performance this season, strong and tall Serbian and Montenegro youngster, the new Manchester United may not be able to keep him, the only question is, after this season, will Bruce bring him to Birmingham? Or was it taken away by other teams at a high price?

At the same time, Xiao Yu had to think in advance about the choice of the head coach of the team to replace Bruce in half a year, as well as the possible troubles after Bruce's departure

ps: Brothers are worried, Lao Chen will show his attitude first, there will be no tragic plot, we are writing a YY novel, please rest assured!
