At the end of the day's training, the players dragged their tired bodies and left the training base one after another.

Becoming professional players in the professional league, their salaries are different from before, and most people can rent a comfortable apartment near Newton Heath, and they can not share a house with two or three people.

Patrice Evra, Curtis and John Terry share a flat and have all moved out of their fans' homes to live in a neighbourhood not far from the training ground, walking to and from the stadium every day.

But unlike the usual conversations and laughter on the way home, Curtis was a little silent today.

"What's wrong? First time starter and feeling a lot of pressure? "Patrice Evra has been a good friend for more than two years, and they are the first people in this club.

Curtis shook his head, but nodded again, a little dazed.

"Don't do that, Curtis, isn't it just a start? Besides, professional players need to go through this once, and although you came too suddenly, you should know that if you take your chance, you will be a regular in the first team! Terry explained.

Curtis has been eager for a long time to be the main player in the professional team, he and Evra joined the team at the same time, but Evra has already established himself in the team, although his main position was robbed by Abidal this year, he can still get a lot of opportunities, but Curtis has been able to play in the youth team and the reserve team because of his age.

It reminded Curtis of what manager Jose Mourinho had said when he left the club.

"Don't be nervous, little bastard, you can do it, as long as you play normally according to your usual ability!"

But can it be normal?

In the past, it was a youth team and a reserve team game, and it was not very important, but now it is a first-team team, a regular English and C professional league game, and maybe a league highlight on the weekend, even if Curtis usually has no heart and lungs, it is not calm at this time.

"By the way, did you tell your parents?" Evra suddenly remembered.

When Curtis heard this, he immediately shook his head, "No, not yet, I just knew!" ”

Terry grinned and nudged him, "Then go ahead and tell your mom and dad that you're going to start for the team this Saturday to see if they'll come to watch the game." ”

Curtis shook his head, "Probably not, my dad is very busy with work, my mom is busy, and they are both far away in London, so they won't come to see me play!" ”

That being said, Curtis decided to make a phone call.

As soon as he ran into the apartment, Curtis locked himself in the room, took out his mobile phone, trembled his right hand, dialed the familiar mobile phone number, and soon there was a beep in the earpiece.

"Hey, Dad, I'm Curtis!" After the phone was connected, Curtis said with some trembling.

"Well, son, what's the matter?" Davis was obviously busy on the other side of the phone, and he had always been so busy.

Curtis hesitated, gritted his teeth, and said: "I just came back from training and the manager Mr. Mourinho told me that I will start tomorrow's game!" ”

"Oh, it's starting again, that's good, you're going to have a good game, you know?"

Curtis nodded heavily, "Dad, will you come to watch me play?" His tone was full of anticipation.

"It depends, son, I've been very busy lately, I'm afraid I can't get away, by the way, who is your opponent?"

"Brighton, Daddy!" Curtis was a little disappointed.

"Oh, it seems to be strong, but it's okay, son, come on!" Davis encouraged Curtis with two words.

After hanging up the phone, Curtis collapsed in disappointment on his bed, he knew that his father's busy work was all about taking care of the family, but how he still wished that his parents could come to Manchester to watch him play, this was his first professional league starter, and how he wished his parents could be with him to witness this moment.

…………

Davis on the other end of the line hung up the phone and quickly got busy again.

Finally, he got out of work and returned home, where his wife had prepared a fragrant meal waiting for him.

"Honey, Curtis called today!" Davis said with a smile as he ate.

Although he doesn't have much time to look after his son, Davies is still very proud of his son, who has always been the captain of the youth team at the new Manchester United and is highly regarded by the club.

"Really?" Mrs. Davis said with a smile.

"Well, I heard that he has another game to start tomorrow, this guy looks like he's excited, it's not the first time to start, look at his excitement, don't mess up when the time comes!" Davis shook his head and smiled.

"No, our son is great!" Mrs. Davis laughed and said, "Who's the opponent?" ”

Davis thought for a moment, he didn't pay much attention to it just now, "Like, it seems to be called Brighton, I should have heard it right......"

But as soon as these words came out, Davis himself was stunned, and looked at his wife in disbelief, who was also stunned.

Davies suddenly jumped up from the table, ran to the briefcase he had just brought home, grabbed a newspaper from it, flipped through the sports edition, and soon found the match preview in an inconspicuous corner, which clearly said that tomorrow at 4 p.m., Manchester City Stadium, the new Manchester United host Brighton.

"Heavenly ...... Oh my God, yes...... It's League C, I thought it was a reserve team! Davis looked at his wife in disbelief.

Mrs. Davis had already come to his side, staring at the newspaper announcement in a daze, "This is Curtis's first professional league game, my dear!" ”

"yes, no wonder he called me out of the blue and asked if I wanted to go and watch him play!" Davis said regretfully.

"And how do you answer?" Mrs. Davis asked with concern.

Davis looked annoyed, "I'm ...... I didn't hear it at the time, I thought it was a reserve game, so I told him I was busy and didn't have time to go, and he must have been disappointed! ”

After saying that, Davis immediately shook his head, "No, there is still time, I will call to book a ticket immediately, it really can't be done, we will take the train overnight!" ”

He would never let himself miss the opportunity to watch his son's first professional league game, otherwise, he would have regretted it to death!

The weather on the second day was very good, the sky was clear, and it was a rare good weather.

The team's bus slowly drove into the parking lot of the City Stadium, and the red bus immediately caused a burst of cheers from the surrounding teams, who all happily welcomed the Warriors who were about to take to the court like heroes.

Jose Mourinho stepped off the bus first, immediately attracting praise from the fans, the Portuigan who has only been in charge for a short time, but he has already conquered the hearts of the club's fans with his ability and achievements.

Then every player comes down with a burst of cheers and applause, they are all the objects of support, and despite the departures of Distin and Stansson, the new United fans are worried about the game, but no matter what, they still support the team.

Distin officially transferred to Newcastle yesterday, taking advantage of the latter's injury-ridden season, New Manchester United slaughtered the opponent fiercely, and Newcastle paid a transfer fee of 1.8 million pounds for Distin.

Of course, according to Xiao Yu's knowledge, Newcastle has earned it.

As for Stansson, he has also left the new United for Birmingham, and Bruce paid him a transfer fee of 750,000 pounds, which is ten times what the latter was worth when he joined the new Manchester United, and it is said that Bruce, who is also struggling with the right side of the defense, has been eager to put Stansson in the starting line-up for the next league game.

The new Manchester United, who were also full of injuries, lined up Patrice Evra, John Terry, Curtis and Bosingwa in the backline, with goalkeeper Amunia starting in place of Schmeichel due to his injury.

The front three are still Kitson, Malouda and Hleb, and the midfield trio is Juninho Jr., Arau Diarra and Essien, and Paulsen is a bit injured, so he was not scheduled to start.

The five players on the bench were Crouch, Palacio, Wright Phillips, De Rossi and Hangrande, the latter of whom was not well injured and, although not serious, would certainly not have played Mourinho unless he was forced to do so.

The remnants faced their fierce rivals, and the new Manchester United was very underestimated by the media before the game, especially the bets made by the bookmakers, which were all biased towards Brighton, who had a full squad and had performed well recently.

Everyone agrees that the back line will be the most fatal flaw of the new Manchester United in this game, because Patrice Evra and Bosingwa are both strong in attack and weak in defence, Curtis is under 16 years old and is starting for the first time, so such a backline configuration is really worrying.

Even so, when Curtis stepped off the bus, the fans gave him a round of applause to encourage him, a child of the new United themselves, who had been here since the first day of the club's existence, and all the fans wanted him to succeed and stay with the club for the rest of his life.

"Curtis, Curtis!"

As the players were about to enter the locker room, Curtis suddenly heard a familiar voice calling out to him from the crowd.

"Daddy, Mommy!" Curtis suddenly saw his parents squeezing out of the crowd, and was a little stunned, tears almost bursting out of his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Mourinho smiled and patted Curtis on the shoulder, "Little bastard, go, I'll give you five minutes!" ”

When Curtis heard this, he immediately thanked Mourinho, and then ran to his parents, seeing the two of them like this, Curtis couldn't have imagined that they came overnight, which made him particularly moved.

"Curtis......" Davis hugged his son hard, trying to say a lot of words of encouragement, but in the end he couldn't say anything, and his wife wiped tears from her eyes.

"Dad, Mommy......" Curtis was equally speechless.

"Good job, son, your mother and I are staring at you from the stands!" Davis motioned for his son to catch up with the team.

Curtis nodded heavily, his expression extremely resolute!
