The clubbing of the new Manchester United players did not attract much attention in England, the same thing often happens, after all, it is outside the stadium, and I believe no one expected that Mourinho would punish the players for this matter.

However, after the punishment was introduced, the atmosphere on the training ground became more active, and they were more engaged in training, especially the players who made mistakes, while Drogba and others continued to practice after training.

In the more than a year since he came to the new Manchester United, Drogba's progress has been very obvious, and he always seems conscientious on the field, and off the field is as low-key as ever, never rumors, basically staying at home, or accompanying his wife and son to go shopping and so on.

In Mourinho's plan for him, he has reached the first step, which is to lean on the opponent to receive the ball and cooperate with his team-mates, and then he has to try to make himself able to turn calmly after receiving the ball, which is difficult, but he knows that by overcoming this, he can step into the ranks of first-class centre-forwards.

The club has helped Drogba a lot in this regard, which is why he turned down offers from several teams and chose to stay in the team, he is 24 years old, he knows that if he does not improve, he will probably be like this for the rest of his life, so he does not want to stop his progress, he desperately wants to be able to go further.

There are other players who share Drogba's minds, which makes the atmosphere of training for the new United very strong.

And those players who have been punished are also happy to accept it, because they are well aware of the team's rules, during midweek games, players are forbidden to return to their homes after 12 o'clock, and Curtis and others were photographed at 2 o'clock in the morning.

They made mistakes, they were punished, they were suspended for three games and they had to prove themselves again in training.

The new Manchester United will face Preston North End in the second round, playing at home, and this will be the first time the new United will appear at Old Trafford.

Nearly 20,000 season tickets have been sold for the new Manchester United this season, which is really surprising to the club, and the sales of 179 VIP boxes at Old Trafford are also quite good, although not comparable to Manchester United, but also unexpected by the new Manchester United, and there are still fans coming to book.

Xiao Yu was a little nervous about his team's first appearance at Old Trafford, worried that he would not be met with hostility from the Red Devils fans, especially when he received the record for ticket sales for his first home game, and he was surprised that the new United were able to attract 45,000 fans to the stadium.

You know, in the past, the Red Rebels' home stadium was only more than 14,000 full, but now compared with more than 45,000 fans, the attendance of the new Manchester United has increased so much, which is really surprising.

"More people are still coming for the gimmick!" Mark David said with a smile.

Xiao Yu has to admit that this is the first home game of the season for the new Manchester United, especially at Old Trafford, which is really exciting and stressful.

"Whether you can retain this group of fans depends on the operational ability of your Ministry of Commerce!" Xiao Yu smiled and patted Mark David on the shoulder, he is now the first person in the business development of the new Manchester United.

"I said it's a lot of pressure, boss, look at Jose's starting lineup, he's clearly here to stir things up!" David said with a smile.

Mourinho's starting line-up for this game is really incomprehensible, except for the people inside the new Manchester United, everyone outside is wondering, it stands to reason that even if the league is midweek, there is no need to rotate at the beginning of the season, and it is so large.

In this game, the new Manchester United's starting striker is Drogba, the two wingers are Ronaldo Jr. and Hleb, the forward is Kaka, and the two midfielders are Juninho Jr. and Senna, and the configuration of the midfield is not much of a surprise.

But the problem is at the back.

Patrice Evra's starting XI was replaced by Philippe Lahm, with Nemanja Vidic and Giorgio Chiellini in central defence, Kolo Toure at right wing-back and Petr Cech in goal.

Terry and Curtis, the two players who have the most tacit relationship with each other, have not been able to appear in the starting lineup, and neither of them has been injured, which immediately attracted the attention of the media, who said that they could not understand it, and some even suspected that the two players were going to transfer.

"Don't worry, David, we've never been blown out on our home turf, and I have confidence in Jose." Xiao Yu heard about the punishment, and he also knew that he should give these little guys some hardship, otherwise, they would be fluttering if they had a little bit of success, so how could they have high hopes in the future?

Xiao Yu also personally found Curtis, Terry and other punished players one by one, and scolded them fiercely, thinking that they couldn't tell the difference, and in the case of the team's tight competition, they even had the leisure to go clubbing, thinking that Mourinho's punishment was still too light.

No one thought that Xiao Yu, who seemed to get along well in Pingyue, would also get angry, which made Curtis and the others more aware of the mistakes they had made, so they were more engaged and worked harder in training to prove their introspection.

"By the way, what did the police say?" Xiao Yu asked with concern.

For this game, Xiao Yu even came forward in person, hoping that the police department could send someone to help maintain order in the stadium, and at the same time, he separated the fans of the Red Rebels, Manchester United and Preston North End because he was worried that the three parties would cause a conflict, after all, they would stay at Old Trafford for two years.

"It's already here, everything is going in order, don't worry, Andy will take care of this!"

Speaking of which, Mark David was a little surprised to see Ferguson appear at Old Trafford in the distance, especially when he saw Ferguson walking towards the two, he knew that he was looking for Xiao Yu, so he left after saying a few words to Xiao Yu, and specially said hello to Ferguson before leaving.

The highest respect should be paid to the architect of Manchester United's empire, whether it is the Red Rebels or the Red Devils, and Manchester United would not be the real United without him.

Xiao Yu stood at the window, from which he could see the crowded stands below, and hear the tsunami-like sound of the mountains and rivers passing from the stadium, especially the uniform team song of the Red Rebels fans.

Before the game, the Red Rebels fans had reached an agreement, in the previous home games, they were divided into turns, so that the 90 minutes of the game were filled with the cheers and singing of the Red Rebels fans, but today they were different, they planned to open up, everyone sang in a big chorus, and made as much noise as possible.

Although the glass of the windowsill is well sealed and soundproofed, you can still hear the movement coming from the stadium.

The stands are still red, but under the effect of the lights, the green and gold lines are particularly dazzling, and some fans who watch the game are wearing Red Devils jerseys, but in a large sea of red with green and gold lines, they are slowly submerged, and they also sing the team song with the Red Rebel fans.

"It's really an uplifting team song, I heard you wrote it yourself, right?" Ferguson asked with a smile.

Listening to his tone, I didn't know what he meant by this, but Xiao Yu still nodded, "Yes, I think this team song is very suitable for our current situation, we are still very young!" ”

"But you've set a whole bunch of unattainable records, and they've done a bunch of memorable things over the years, and you should be proud!"

Xiao Yu looked at Ferguson in some surprise, the latter always stared at the stands below, his old face showing remembrance and sadness, such emotions are rarely seen in the domineering Ferguson.

"Believe it or not, when a person is old, he will begin to be afraid of death, even if he is brave when he is young, when he is old, he will start to be afraid, because he is afraid, so he will desperately grasp anything that he values, he will become stubborn, he will become unkind, and even ...... Unreasonable! ”

When Xiao Yu heard this, his heart couldn't help but tremble, yes, Ferguson is already 61 years old, and he is already a gray-haired old man, but Ferguson doesn't say it, Xiao Yu unconsciously forgets his age, and imagines him as a peak middle-aged man who is full of courage and energy at the same time.

But in reality, he is really old.

"I don't interfere with the team's training very much now, we have a well-developed technical and tactical system, I have a group of great assistants who carry out my philosophy, I just need to be in charge, it's easy, but even so, they are still worried that my body will not be able to stand it, do you say it is fragile?" Ferguson asked with a wry smile.

Xiao Yu's impression of Ferguson is a stubborn and strong person, but he didn't expect him to be a completely different appearance today.

"Maybe, I mean maybe, Sir, you should consider retiring!" Xiao Yu kindly proposed.

After hearing this, Ferguson couldn't help laughing and nodded: "Of course, I will retire, everyone has a moment to retire from the front, but not now." ”

Speaking of this, Ferguson turned his head to look at Xiao Yu, his eyes were full of appreciation, "I think the two of us have a lot of similarities, do you know which place is like it?" ”

Xiao Yu not only didn't feel that this was an insult, but felt that it was an honor, because being able to hear this sentence from the proud Ferguson proved that Ferguson was on the same level as him, otherwise he would not have said this.

"Don't you admit defeat, Sir?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile.

Ferguson laughed even harder, and kept nodding, "Yes, don't admit defeat, everyone suspected that you couldn't afford to run a club, but you succeeded, and you see, how good it is now, and you have participated in European competitions, you just rely on a temperament that does not admit defeat, and this temperament has also been passed from your body to the team, to the manager, to the players, to everyone in the club, in the blood, it is like a virus, infecting them." ”

"This is a spiritual inheritance!"
