The town of Lyuri is small and has a small population, and despite an amateur team and a history of national players like Thierry Henry, football in the town is still lagging behind.

But in such a small town, to find a player, it is undoubtedly a needle in the bottom of the sea.

Fortunately, Xiao Yu was not stupid, he took a taxi directly, and found out that there was only one backward football field in this town, so he simply took a taxi to wait here.

The team in the small town of Laighly is the kind of amateur team that has no organizational surname, just a group of players who like to play football get together to form an amateur team and participate in the lower amateur leagues in France, so their stadium is also very rundown, it is a stadium that can only accommodate 2,500 people, and there is not even a protective measure, and you can enter it casually.

When Xiao Yu walked into the court, he saw that there were already people playing with the ball on it, all of them were a group of children, playing with the ball, the oldest of them was ten years old, and the youngest was six or seven years old, all of whom had no formal football training, but when the ball was between you and me, it brought them bursts of cheerful laughter.

At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, a few young people in their twenties began to enter the stadium wearing football jerseys, and they obviously didn't care about Xiao Yu, who was sitting in the shade of the trees, because the stadium was open to the public, and anyone could enter.

Gradually, the number of people in the stadium began to increase, and they simply divided into two groups to play practice matches.

These people are very loose, and they all play street football in normal times, except for some of the most basic football rules, there is nothing else, there is no referee, no manager, and no tactics, and they can play whatever position they are assigned.

Xiao Yu had been staring at these players very carefully, and he couldn't see the familiar faces from these dozen people.

"Am I wrong? He's not here? Xiao Yu couldn't help but doubt himself.

But since it's all here, let's just watch a game.

As with most amateur games, the game was played in a tight and tactical manner, with both sides playing messily and without any organization, and even the goalkeeper would rush out of his own half to participate in the attack, while everyone else laughed out loud at the behavior.

Sometimes, the pure joy of football is more vividly reflected in this kind of street football.

When the game was halfway through, a dark-skinned figure ran in from outside the court, not tall, maybe only more than 1.6 meters, but it looked very young and fast, ran to the field, directly took off a uniform that should be worn by a part-time worker, and did not rest, just practiced dribbling on the sidelines.

As soon as the young man entered the court, Xiao Yu's attention was focused on him, because after he looked at it carefully, he confirmed that this person was the player he was looking for.

"I can't do it, Patrice, come on!" There was a player on the pitch who was not physically fit and asked for a substitution.

The black boy came on the field, but did not appear on the left side of Xiao Yu's consciousness, but stood in the middle of the midfield.

Since there is no tactic to speak of, let alone the central defenders cutting forward, even the goalkeeper often rushes out of the penalty area, so the players in the middle of the midfield are often squeezed to the wings.

The speed of the black teenager is very fast, compared to those amateur players, his basic technical skills are very solid, and he should have received many years of formal football training, but in the eyes of Xiao Yu, who has watched countless stars and games, and his appreciation ability is okay, he does not look outstanding at all.

No wonder Paris Saint-Les Les Mains would look down on him!

Of course, he stands out from the crowd of amateur players.

If nothing else, his incredible speed and explosiveness are enough to be a sharp weapon.

I remember that there was a sentence in Stephen Chow's movie [Kung Fu] in later generations, martial arts in the world are invincible, only fast is not broken!

If you are facing an experienced defender with a good sense of positioning, fast speed may not be able to stand cheap, but in a group of amateur players, speed is almost everything.

Although the black teenager played as a central midfielder, in fact he often pulled to the wings, using his speed advantage to impact the opponent's defence, but after that, the tragedy was that the cross was either unusually erratic, or there were no teammates in place, and it was wasted again and again.

"What's his name?" Xiao Yu came to the side of the player who was substituted and asked casually in English.

"Patrice Evra, what's wrong?" The man, apparently not expecting to meet a foreigner, was stunned for a moment, and replied in English, but not in a slippery manner.

"It's nothing, I just think he's fast and in good physical condition, just ask." Xiao Yu replied with a faint smile.

"Well, he's the fastest we've ever had."

"If I'm not mistaken, he should have had formal soccer training, right? His basic technical skills are okay. ”

The man nodded and looked at the field, "Yes, he trains with the junior team at Paris Saint-Holmin, but the big clubs don't look down on him, so he comes back, and he will come and play with us when he has time." ”

Indeed, Evra is 17 years old this year, and there is almost no other conspicuous place except for his speed, if it weren't for Xiao Yu knowing his future achievements, I'm afraid no one would care at all.

According to Xiao Yu's later memories, Evra will transfer to the semi-professional club Masara in Group B of Italy this year, but he will not be reused there, and a year later, he will transfer to Monza in Serie B, and he will not be able to play until he returns to China to play in the Nice team of the French second division and is transformed into a left-back, which began to show his true strength.

It was because of his outstanding performances in the French league that Patrice Evra was spotted by Manchester United's Alex Ferguson, joined Manchester United, and soon became the club's main player on the left, and then became one of the best left wing-backs in football.

Such a future world-class left-sided king is still reduced to the point where he can only play with amateur teams, but it is believed that it is precisely because of the setbacks he has suffered in recent years that have contributed to his later success.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but think of Ballack at this time, if he had been a few years earlier, he might have been able to add the future German superstar to the new Manchester United squad.

The players on the pitch played for more than half an hour, and they were also tired, and a few began to shout that they wanted to rest.

A group of players came off the pitch to drink water and rest, but Evra was the only one who walked to the pitch and practiced in front of the stands to see how others reacted, obviously getting used to this kind of training for him.

"Hello, Patrice Evra!" Xiao Yu walked over and took the initiative to say hello.

"Hello!" Evra looked at the stranger who suddenly ran over to say hello with some shyness, "May I ask who you are?" ”

"My name is Xiao Yu, I'm from Manchester, I want to know, are you interested in playing in Manchester?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile.

"Manchester?" Patrice Evra was taken aback, "You're a scout for Manchester United? ”

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, quickly realized his speech problem, shook his head and smiled, "No, we are the new Manchester United, and we will compete in the second division of the northwest of England in the new season, I hope you can join our team!" ”

"Northwest Division B ......" Evra muttered to himself, obviously searching in his mind for what level of England this league was, but in the end, he found that he couldn't find the answer at all.

'We're in the 10th tier of England, so we're definitely lower than Lejully in terms of league level, and we've only just started this year, but we've already signed a couple of professional players and you're another one we hope we'll be able to sign.

"Is it full-time?" Evra asked with concern.

'Of course, but we certainly won't be paid much, but we can guarantee that you will play, and you know, the English league system is very strict and the competition at every level is very high, especially in Manchester, where even the most dilapidated stadium is full of scouts from Manchester United or Manchester City, and as long as you have the quality, you will definitely not be buried.

For the time being, Xiao Yu felt that the new Manchester United did not have the slightest fame at all, so he could only pull up the tiger skins of his two neighbors to act as his banner, after all, they were all in the same city.

After speaking, Xiao Yu also specially took out the documents that could prove his identity and handed them to Evra's hand.

The latter looked very carefully, looking at the photo on the ID card and Xiao Yu himself, as if he wanted to see if it was true, and finally confirmed his identity, but to his surprise, Xiao Yu was still the chairman of this club.

"Our club is a new club formed to rebel against Murdoch's takeover of Manchester United, hence the name New Manchester United." Xiao Yu saw that Evra was obviously struggling with the name of the club that was very similar to Manchester United, so he took the initiative to explain.

Evra suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember, I saw your report on TV!" ”

"Really? That's great, at least it proves that I'm not lying, isn't it? For the first time, Xiao Yu felt that Xiao Yu of the United Kingdom had really done a pretty good thing for himself, at least opening up the popularity of the new Manchester United.

"By the way, what about your parents?" Xiao Yu saw Evra's hesitation and embarrassment, and knew in his heart that how could a 17-year-old boy easily make a decision that might affect his life?

"Can you take me to meet them?" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

may have felt that Xiao Yu's first impression on him was not bad, plus he had always told the truth and could make people believe, coupled with his desire to play professional football, so Evra nodded and walked out of the stadium with Xiao Yu.

"Hey, Patrice, going back so early?" The young man who communicated with Xiao Yu just now was a little surprised, Evra said that he had to train until dark.

Evra had something on her mind, so she just nodded, but remained silent and continued to walk forward.

Xiao Yu followed closely behind him and walked out of the football field.

From beginning to end, no one in the football field noticed Xiao Yu's appearance at all, and no one knew Xiao Yu's identity.

However, Patrice Evra was not seen again at the stadium in the small town of Lyurly for the next two days, and when he asked his parents, he was told that he had gone to England to play
