Before coming to Manchester, Drogba made a phone call with his uncle and told him about his situation, and he agreed with his decision, thinking that since people were interested in him, it would be better to go and see what was going on.

Michelle Goba also learned that Xiao Yu, the owner of New Manchester United, is a very famous investment businessman in the United States, owns a lot of valuable property in the United States, is quite famous on Wall Street, and is also a shareholder of the famous Apple Company.

With his agent, Drogba got off the plane in Manchester, and when he walked out of the gate, he saw someone holding up a sign of the new Manchester United from a distance, and they immediately greeted him.

"Hello, Mr. Drogba?" The chubby man holding the sign asked as soon as he saw someone approaching.

Drogba nodded, "Yes, may I ask who you are?" ”

"I'm a staff member of the new Manchester United, my name is Jim and I'm the club's new receptionist!" When Fat Jim talked about his identity, he was very proud and proud.

Reception driver?

Drogba was a little unfamiliar with the position, but he was a club clerk anyway, so he didn't have much suspicion, so he followed Jim into the Audi he drove.

This is one of the new cars that New Manchester United recently bought, which is considered a public car of the club, and Jim accepted Xiao Yu's employment and quit his job as a taxi driver to join New Manchester United as a driver.

Don't underestimate the position of the driver, but in fact, there are a large number of people rushing to be it, Jim still through the relationship, directly to get a place, otherwise he may not be able to be elected.

"By the way, do you want to go to the stadium first, or do you want to go to the training base first?" Jim asked, driving in front.

Drogba thought for a moment, "Let's go to the stadium first!" "He must have thought the new Manchester United office was in the stadium.

In fact, many clubs' offices are arranged in stadiums, such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, etc.

When the players came to the city, they saw that the stadium was under construction from a distance, and the large engineering vehicles were going back and forth, making the whole stadium noisy and very harsh.

"The club's stadium originally had only three stands, but it was far from meeting the needs of the fans, so urgent construction is currently underway to build the north stand, which will bring the club's stadium capacity to nearly 14,000."

Although the stadium of the new United is still small compared to Old Trafford and Maine Road, in the eyes of Jim and other fans, this is already a rare thing, you know, the club has only been established for three years, and it is not easy to have a stadium of its own.

"You ...... Has the club only been around for three years? Drogba was a little skeptical.

Jim smiled and led him through the main gate into the stadium, and then led by the staff to the exhibition hall.

The whole exhibition hall is uniquely furnished, with several trophies in the windows and newspaper clippings that record every major event since the founding of the new Manchester United from the beginning, such as the players brought in, such as the victory in a key surname game, etc.

After a walk through the exhibition hall, Drogba had to admit that he was attracted to this particular club, a very unique club, with a unique attraction, especially the origin of this club.

"What is this?" His agent didn't know much about football, not as much as Drogba, but he was interested in visiting a lot of football windows on the side of the exhibition hall, and there were some autographs on the football, and the front of the football was one name after another.

"Oh, that's the ball of the game when all the players scored the first goal for the new Manchester United, and it was their signature!" Then Jim began to introduce the players who had scored for the new Manchester United one by one, and he knew almost every single one, and he knew every single one.

"It's Curtis Davis, a 16-year-old player from our Academy, vice-captain, who started playing in the second half of last season in the third division and did really well, scoring a couple of goals, and it was his first goal!"

Drogba looked at the football that had obviously been used many times, the name on it was very conspicuous and green, and it was obvious that the players who signed the autograph were not very used to signing people, so the autograph was not particularly good-looking.

"What about this one? There's blood on it! Drogba's agent asked.

Jim pointed to the bloodstained football, proudly said: "That's Curtis's blood, last season away to Brighton, this game is related to the championship, Curtis started for the first time as the captain of the team, when the opponent's header in the penalty area, he was accidentally scratched by a shoe spike in the face, and the blood was splashed on the ball, and then the players left the ball, and the blood was not wiped and sent here to preserve, so as to tell all the visitors that the new Manchester United has such an iron-blooded central defender." ”

'Curtis is now called up for the England Under-18 squad and he's the youngest of those squads, coming from the lowest level in the league, but he is said to be given the task of starting the game! Speaking of Curtis, Jim is very proud.

When he first lined up to sign up for the team's trial, Curtis was behind him, and he often used it to show off, saying that he was the first of all to know Curtis.

Drogba looked at everything in the exhibition hall, he was a little stupid, there is no such exhibition hall at the stadium of Le Mans club, and it is rare for French clubs to hear of this kind of exhibition hall, and even if there is, it must be to show the trophies and honors won by the team, not these goals of the players.

Of course, the trophies won by the team were also displayed in the exhibition hall of the new Manchester United, but they were not particularly conspicuous, and it was obvious that these trophies were deliberately placed on the same footing as the goals scored by the players and the history of the club.

It's a club like no other!

Drogba thought to himself!

…………

…………

Coming out of the City Stadium, Drogba followed Jim back to the Newton Heath training base.

Like anyone who saw the training base for the first time before, Drogba was surprised that the new United could have such a modern training base, especially when Jim introduced him to all the facilities in the base, and he was even more surprised by Xiao Yu's commitment to the club.

You can't put that much into it without love!

With the season over and the players and coaches on vacation, the training base was empty.

Xiao Yu and Mourinho were not at the training base, so Jim took Drogba to the training base first.

When I came to the youth team's training grounds, I saw a few teenagers training there from a distance, well, in fact, it would be more appropriate to say that it was playing.

"Hi, Uncle Jim!" As soon as Messi saw Jim, he immediately greeted him.

They were greeted by other players who live in the neighborhood, including Michael Johnson, John Obi Mickel and Ismael Miller, who are clearly all training.

"Here, Ismail!" Messi shouted on the left flank, then accelerated to dribble and crossed.

The ball soon came to the goal, the tall Mikel desperately squeezed Ismael with his body, and the latter was under his interference, raising his foot to unload the low flat ball from Messi to his left, and then pressed Mikel to turn around, pull out his foot and volley, the ball... Off!

"Hey, Ismail, you're not doing the right thing!" Michael Johnson in the distance immediately ran over.

"What's wrong?" Ismail was a little unconvinced.

Johnson pulled the ball over and showed against the tall Mikel, his movements were smoother and more technical than Ismail, and the pulling action was more standardized, after pulling the ball, he adjusted his body well, and the next shot was very light, not much force, but it was very accurate to drill into the dead corner of the goal.

"Look, Michael is right, you should be lighter, and then after turning around, don't be in a hurry, because you're holding Mikel down and have plenty of time to adjust the angle." Messi, who followed along, also analyzed.

Drogba from afar thought the group of imps was quite interesting, the guy named Michael Johnson and Messi was very skilled, but the guy named Ismael was much rougher, which made him watch the training on the sidelines for a while, and he couldn't help but laugh several times.

"Hey, big man, what are you smiling at, you have the ability to come!" Ismail had long been dissatisfied with the angry guy who was smiling on the sidelines, and simply challenged him.

"Me?" Drogba was a little surprised.

"Yes, that's you!" Ismail directly challenged.

Drogba looked at Jim, who shrugged his shoulders, "It's okay, outside of training time, his challenge to you is reasonable and allowed, you can consider whether to fight or not!" ”

As a fan, Jim would love to see this kind of game.

Drogba happened to be wearing loose clothes, and his feet were a little itchy, so he walked into the field with a smile.

The rules of the game are simple, Messi passes five goals from each of the left and right wings, and then Michael Johnson passes five more balls from the middle, and then sees who has more chances.

At first, Drogba thought it was too childish, but it wasn't until he got down that he realized he was wrong.

First of all, the dark-skinned little devil behind him, very strong, very big, very strong in the confrontation, Drogba almost couldn't stand him, and then Messi and Johnson passed very fast, in this case, it is not easy to deal with the confrontation behind him, but also to unload the ball easily, turn and shoot.

And the most important thing is that Drogba's skills are very rough, although he can unload Messi and Johnson's passes, but he is always pushed by Mikel behind him to lose his position, and then lose the opportunity to shoot.

At this moment, he was surprised to find that the playful training of this group of imps was really not a joke at all.

Seeing Drogba eating deflated, Ismael smiled, as if he was happy to see the unlucky guy who was even worse than himself, and asked defiantly: "Hey, big man, do you want to play indoor football for a while?" ”
