Since it was an internal training match, there was no referee and no score was calculated, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the team led by Keane and Ryan Giggs was clearly ahead, at least Giggs scored five or six goals alone.

After a training match, the players all went aside to rest, drink water, and have training tasks waiting for them.

"Hello, Xiao Yu!" Keane and Ryan Giggs walked side by side, and for a professional player, such a training match is not very intense, and it is a leisurely stroll.

"Hello, Roy, Ryan!" Xiao Yu greeted them with a smile, and then introduced them to the Messi father and son beside him.

"Messi, do you want an autograph?" Xiao Yu asked coldly.

Messi was stunned for a moment, quickly came to his senses, nodded vigorously, and then grabbed his head in distress, and said hesitantly: "I...... I didn't bring my autograph! ”

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.

"What's your name?" Giggs took a few steps forward, crouched down, and asked.

"Leo Messi!" Messi replied tremblingly, he never dreamed that those superstars on TV would appear in front of him and crouch down to talk to him.

"Oh, Leo Messi, I remember! Are you a player? Giggs asked again.

Messi looked at his father, Jorge nodded, and he immediately nodded, "Well, yes!" ”

"It seems that you should have excellent skills, but the physical aspect is a little thinner, and if you want to be a professional player, you need to exercise more and make yourself strong!" Giggs smiled encouragingly.

Being able to get Giggs's encouragement, Messi suddenly nodded excitedly.

"You can't play in England without your body!" Keane said very seriously.

Xiao Yu nodded, he knew this better than anyone else, such as Veron, there was no doubt about the white wizard's skills, but due to the lack of physical confrontation, he was unable to integrate into Manchester United, and was finally approved as a high-priced parallel import.

"Roy, are you counting Ryan? His physical fitness was not very good back then! Bruce walked over with a smile.

They were old acquaintances at Manchester United, and Bruce was their big brother, so Keane and Ryan Giggs didn't say anything more as soon as he spoke.

"But Roy is right, you should pay attention to this aspect of the problem." Bruce also knew about Messi's physical problems, so he cautiously reminded Xiao Yu.

The latter, knowing that these professional stars have a sharper eye than himself, humbly accepts Bruce's proposal.

"Or you can try to control the diet, I have a friend in Manchester, he is an expert in diet and nutrition, you can go to him for help, I tried it myself and it works well!" Bruce went on to recommend.

"It's okay, you can try it! I also plan to take him to Manchester Royal Hospital in the next two days to find a specialist for a detailed physical examination, and I also have his physical data for the last year or so, so I should be able to find the most effective and reasonable treatment plan. ”

Xiao Yu smiled and agreed, asking for the call of the diet and nutrition expert.

"Then you are right to look for him, he is an authority in this area, and he has many friends, let him introduce a reliable expert." Bruce said with a smile.

Jorge on the side was moved when he heard this, these were just the first time they met, but they were very concerned about Messi's condition, not for anything else, just because he was a new player signed by the new Manchester United.

This had to make Jorge feel that the signing of the new Manchester United was really not wrong, especially when he saw Xiao Yu's concern for Messi, which made him even more convinced of his decision.

"Steve, that Evra, what do you think?" Let Walsh take Jorge and his son around, Xiao Yu asked Bruce.

"It's fast, and I have some basic skills, so I can be the main player in the amateur league, or a substitute in the lower professional league." Bruce thought for a moment and said.

Xiao Yu was secretly shocked in his heart, the future world-class left-back was said to be like this, but when you think about it, it's no wonder that Evra is indeed very ordinary now, except for speed, he really doesn't have too many other specialties.

'I don't think he's suitable for an attacking wing-back, he's a bit rough and he's a little hesitant to pass.

In this training match, Ryan Giggs is in the same position as Patrice Evra, so he is also a member of the team that has the right to judge.

'Well, my proposal is to move him back and play as a left wing-back, you know, we're missing a left wing-back right now. Xiao Yu proposed.

When it comes to the tactics of the team, he will give his opinion, but it is the experts, the head coach, who decides.

Of course, Steve Bruce is not yet the manager of the new Manchester United, but it should be said that he is slowly falling into the trap laid by Xiao Yu and cannot extricate himself.

'He's a good runner and he's got a lot of fighting spirit, he's young and he's good at left wing-back. Keane also spoke his mind.

After hearing this, Bruce nodded, apparently accepting everyone's opinions.

Xiao Yu realized why the head coach likes to have his own set of coaching teams, just because they also need to find someone to discuss, and they also need someone to help them, but now the new Manchester United is only Bruce.

The coaching staff, the scouts, the staff, these are the key points that the new Manchester United will add next.

Of course, these also require funding.

Xiao Yu suddenly wanted the World Cup to end quickly, and his funds would be in place as soon as possible.

With money, it's even easier to get things done!

"By the way, Andy approached me before and asked if I wanted to arrange some warm-up matches, what do you think?" Bruce suddenly remembered.

"Warm-up match?" Xiao Yu frowned.

"Well, this is the first game since the new Manchester United were formed!" Bruce said cautiously.

Keane, who was on the side, thought about it for a while, and then proposed: "It's better to have a fight with Manchester United, and I'll go back to the old man with Ryan to discuss." ”

"Will he?" Bruce asked.

"It should be willing, he had a big quarrel with the board of directors about Xiao Yu's formation of a new club before, and then said that the establishment of the new Manchester United was forced out by the turtle grandsons of the board of directors, and this is just an ordinary warm-up game."

As soon as Kean said it, Xiao Yu immediately vetoed it.

'No, if you want to play Manchester United, then I want it to be in the Premier League, or in the FA Cup, or in the League Cup, not in the warm-up game, because I believe it will definitely be a legendary game in the history of Manchester United and the new Manchester United! Besides, it's not time for us to challenge Manchester United! ”

Keane and Ryan Giggs were a little surprised, Xiao Yu's attitude made them feel strange, could it be that he had a grudge against Manchester United because he had established a new Manchester United?

But after thinking about it again, Keane and Ryan Giggs couldn't help but understand that Xiao Yu did not resent Manchester United, but resented the guys who brought the copper smell into Old Trafford, so he stubbornly wanted to prove himself right in his own way.

For the first time, Keane and Ryan Giggs have taken a look at someone who wants to beat Manchester United.

"Let's fight Droysden while their team gathers for training!" Xiao Yu suddenly proposed.

Bruce and the three of them were stunned, but they soon understood Xiao Yu's intentions, he was showing his gratitude to David Pace in this way.

"Good guys!" Kean patted Xiao Yu's shoulder hard, obviously from this moment on, the name Xiao Yu was added to his friend list.

The same is true for Ryan Giggs.

No matter who the warm-up opponent is, Bruce will not have an opinion, let alone Droisden.

After finalizing the object of the first warm-up match, it is natural to finalize a few more warm-up matches to prepare for the new season of the Northwest Division B League, the Northwest Division Northwest Division Challenger Cup, and of course, the FA Cup, which Xiao Yu never dreamed of winning the championship in a few years, and all English clubs can participate.

"Looks like I don't expect to compete with you this year, Steve!" Keane shrugged his shoulders and said with regret.

Although the new Manchester United have registered for the FA Cup, as a Premier League team, Manchester United will play directly from the third round of the FA Cup, but as the new Manchester United in the tenth division, they must play from the initial qualifiers.

Even if the new Manchester United is strong and can pass the preliminaries and four rounds of qualifying, but in the first round, with the addition of professional teams such as League B and English C, it is almost impossible for the new Manchester United to cross this hurdle, let alone eliminate two rounds of strong teams in a row to enter the third round, and then be lucky to meet Manchester United.

"That's not necessarily, what happens on the football field, who knows?" Xiao Yu retorted with a smile.

"Xiao Yu is right, not necessarily!" Bruce followed suit.

Now Bruce has become more and more of a head coach of the team.

…………

…………

It is said that the thin western mountain, the sunset dyes a large area of the western sky.

Keane and Ryan Giggs walked out of the butcher's knife pitch and looked back to find that Bruce was still on the pitch directing the new Manchester United players on how to play together and how to pass the ball, down to the smallest detail.

"Looks like he's going to coach this team!" Giggs said with a smile.

"Of course, he wouldn't have brought us in and taught him a lesson, but he's going to be a great manager!" It can be seen that Keane is quite convinced by Bruce.

"Why?" Giggs was surprised by Keane's affirmation.

"You'll know later that this is no ordinary team, a group of fanatical fans, a strong and brilliant manager, plus a persistent and ambitious owner, it will be a terrifying team!"

"But if you want to be promoted to the Premier League in at least ten years, it shouldn't be possible!" Giggs sighed not without regret.

A hint of indignation flashed in Keane's eyes, and he could naturally hear what Giggs meant, that is, modern professional football is no longer just about football, but also about money.

The promotion of a club does not only rely on competitive results, but also financial resources, any football giant in the world, all of them are wealthy, so with the process of professionalization, although there are still many poor teams that can suddenly rise and become dark horses, but they are soon exposed to their original shape, the reason is very simple, players are poached, and there is a shortage of funds!

This is still compared to those low-level professional teams, it is conceivable that as the new Manchester United at the bottom of the English league, if you want to be promoted, if you want to enter the Premier League, it is undoubtedly more difficult than climbing to the sky.

"But, from those carnival fans, as well as Xiao Yu, Bruce and others, I see pure Manchester United again, Ryan, don't you think Old Trafford is a lot quieter now?" Keane's words were full of sarcasm.

The increase in ticket prices has forced away those true fans who like to watch football, but it has attracted more pseudo-fans who don't know football at all, don't like to watch football, and just come and walk, or know a few political and business celebrities, drinking red wine and nibbling on steaks, which is why Old Trafford is getting quieter and quieter.

Football, does it have to be so complicated? Can't it be simpler?

PS: I suddenly wondered what it would be like if the new Manchester United were at Old Trafford.

I really like the discussion in the book review area, and everyone is welcome to discuss more and give more opinions!
