Some people say that the British are very serious and rigid, but in fact, if you really understand the British, you will find that they are not just blindly rigid, but they are always full of rationality.

Even if it was just a warm-up match for primary school students, the school was still well organized, and the team's tactics were very characteristic of England, that is, long passes and hanging.

Since the equaliser from Ismael, Windsor have clearly strengthened their defence down the middle, with Michael dropping back a bit, making it more difficult for opponents to pass the ball to Ismail.

Since you can't pass the ball on the ground, you can simply pass the ball in the air, and Ismael is taller than Curtis anyway.

But the effect of the high-altitude ball is not obvious, first, the passing efficiency of the young players is really bad; Second, although Curtis's height is a little shorter than Ismail, he has a better sense of positioning and anticipation than Ismail, so he can always get stuck in front of Ismael and push the ball out.

Windsor's attack was monotonous, handed to Michael, who was either split or plugged through, but in the end it was definitely in the hands of Messi.

The diminutive Argentinian teenager was so fast and skilled that once the ball reached his feet, it was like it was on his legs, and almost no one could break it off from his feet.

Soon, before the end of the first half, Messi scored two more goals to exceed the score again.

"Hey, Leo, you're doing awesome!" Patrice Evra gave a thumbs up to Messi, who was drinking water and running over.

Messi shook his head modestly, he played with Newell's old boys' youth team in Argentina, where the players are stronger than these primary school students, they have all been trained in professional football for many years, but there, Messi's performance is still excellent.

Seeing Messi like this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but be a little worried.

In his previous life, Messi played in Argentina, and then went to Barcelona, and the environment was very competitive, but after coming to Manchester, the new Manchester United did not even have an academy, let alone give Messi some challenging games to stimulate his growth and progress.

Will this limit Messi's growth?

When Xiao Yu threw the question to Bruce, the latter's answer made him feel relieved.

"Messi's most urgent thing now is to heal his illness, and Derek also said that a situation like his is not suitable for long-term intense sports, so the current environment of our club is the best for him."

After talking about Messi, Bruce pointed to Michael in Windsor with interest.

"This player has a lot of characteristics in passing, and he is very balanced, he has good technical skills, he is very talented, as for the one called Ismail, although he is tall, he is very fast, and his skills are also outstanding, but the most eye-catching thing is his strength to admit defeat."

"So, you're interested in them?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile.

Bruce nodded unabashedly, "Didn't you ask me to help you find a few good academy coaches?" ”

"Hmm, found it?" Xiao Yu asked in surprise.

Bruce nodded, "Well, Keane introduced a Carrington academy assistant who is said to have left a few months ago, and I have a friend in Birmingham who has promised to come over and have a look, if it's suitable, to stay and use it then, but I want to warn you that setting up an academy system can be quite expensive." ”

Xiao Yu immediately laughed when he heard this, "I have recently made a lot of money from investing in stocks in the United States, I am no longer the poor ghost I used to be, I am now a generous old rich man, the stadium needs to be bought, the youth training system must be established, and the training base must be improved, as long as I give me some time, I will definitely satisfy you!" ”

Bruce was also happy when he heard this, but his expression when he looked at Xiao Yu was full of admiration.

Xiao Yu's dedication to the new Manchester United can be seen by everyone, he went bankrupt to build the club, and now he has done everything possible to take out his entire net worth to invest, as soon as he earns a little money, he joins the investment and construction of the club, so love the club, love the chairman of football, Bruce dare not say that it is unique, but at least he has only seen such one.

"By the way, Walsh, you went to the municipal axe for another meeting yesterday, what did they say?"

Walsh sighed, looked at the children resting on the field, shook his head with a wry smile: "It's still the same, divided into two factions, one faction wants to sell, the other faction does not buy, and now it is making a lot of trouble, in the end, they are still worried that our results are too poor, and it is a new club that has just been established, you know, Manchester City also wants to get this piece of land, they have long felt that the Maine Road stadium is too narrow." ”

Xiao Yu was very helpless about this, could he use the money to buy the FA and say, hey, guys, I'll pay 10 million pounds, let's go to the Premier League!

Everybody knows that's impossible!

Although there are often players who are guaranteed to be sent to the English National League, it is also an amateur league, once you want to be promoted from the national league to League C, League B, League One and even the Premier League, you can only use the results to speak, no results as a basis, no one wants to fool around.

After all, the professional league is all about interests, and no one is willing to give up easily!

"Take your time, Xiao Yu, it's going to get better!" Walsh comforted Xiao Yu.

"Actually, I have a proposal for forming a youth team!" Bruce suddenly thought of something.

"Tell me about it!"

"Once the coaching staff is in place and the youth facilities are set up, you might as well go and talk to the primary school and let the students from the school come to our team to train, after all, we are all professional youth coaches, and then we can select a group of players with a certain amount of potential and become our youth team, so that we can apply to participate in the regional youth team league."

At this point, Bruce paused again, then laughed to himself, "But then you're going to have to break a fortune again." ”

When Xiao Yu heard this, he immediately felt that this was a good idea, as for breaking the fortune......

"It's okay, as long as it's good for the club, it doesn't matter how much money you spend!"

The matter was decided on the spot, and the second half of the game began again.

The Windsor team led by Messi and Curtis still continued the good form of the first half, and at the beginning of the second half, Messi once again staged a long-distance running drama, scored another goal, and became the brightest star on the field.

However, after the rest, Ismael was not to be outdone, seeing that he could not take advantage of the confrontation with Curtis, he cleverly retreated to receive the ball, and then used his skillful skills and flexible body to completely disrupt the Windsor defense and score a goal while the chaos was made.

After that, the game became a back-and-forth goal, with Messi, Michael and Curtis all scoring in quick succession, while Ismael scored four goals with an overhead kick.

However, the brave Ismail could not prevent Windsor from winning in the end, and the score of 7:5 can reflect the excitement of this game, and some people even say that this is the most exciting game since the establishment of the Newton Heath Cup between the two schools!

After the game, Messi and Curtis both had to follow the Windsor team back to the school to celebrate, and Xiao Yu took Bruce and Walsh directly to the principal's office of the Cambridge school.

When Xiao Yu said what he meant, the principal of the Cambridge school said that he was also interested, but he had to consult with the school's board of directors before making a decision.

Windsor and another nearby school, Newton, also responded in the same vein, both of whom expressed their willingness to consider a partnership with the new Manchester United.

Although it is only a newly formed club, New Manchester United now has a very good reputation in the Newton Heath area, and it is also good for the school to work with them, after all, New Manchester United have committed to sharing the school's annual football expenses and will send professional football coaches to the school for training.

In addition, the school sends all the expenses of the young players to the new Manchester United for training, which saves a lot of expenses for the school.

It is precisely because of the many benefits that the boards of several nearby primary schools have unanimously agreed to cooperate with New Manchester United, promising to organize some children from the school to play football at the agreed time, send them to the training base of New Manchester United for trials, and then the new Manchester United coaches will focus on selecting potential players.

Of course, it does not mean that these players will automatically become the youth team of the new Manchester United when they are selected, but that the new Manchester United will then consult with the players' families before they can be approved.

In addition, Keane's introduction of Carrington's youth assistant coach Jim Cassel has already taken up a job at the club, along with Paul Hampson, who Bruce poached from Birmingham, both of whom are middle-aged men in their fifties and have been training players for twenty or thirty years.

Among them, Jim Cassel's resume is the most outstanding, he was Eric Harrison's right-hand man in Manchester United's Carrington Academy, and has been following Eric Harrison for more than ten years, this time only because of conflicts and contradictions with some policies of the club, and he left in anger, which was recruited by the new Manchester United.

For the name Eric Harrison, I believe there will be no Manchester United fans who do not know, because it is he who established Manchester United's tactical system of running without the ball, and at the same time, Manchester United's 92 generation is also brought up by him as an assistant coach and academy coach.

Not only that, but the modern football passing theory he established, which categorized the division of labor in various positions, made him the chief football instructor of FIFA. At an advanced age, he began working as a scouting adviser to Manchester United and a technical adviser to Alex Ferguson.

As long as Xiao Yu thinks of the not luxurious player configuration of Manchester United in the later generations, but he can always tear apart the opponent's defense through smooth passing and receiving cooperation, frequent and orderly running without the ball, and then cause goals and achieve admirable results, he will be amazed in his heart.

And Jim Cassel is Eric Harrison's right-hand man, which makes Xiao Yu appreciate him, and as soon as he comes, he appoints him as the head of the new Manchester United's academy, offers a high-salary contract, and sincerely retains this outstanding talent.

The value of Manchester United's system has not yet been revealed, but when they win the treble, and after the new century, as Ferguson expels key players again and again, but leads the team to higher glory again and again, people will know that Manchester United's true value core! ps: Another explosion, the fourth explosion, do you still have a ticket? Manchester United's running system without the ball even Barcelona's Cruyff is admired, ashamed of itself, you can imagine the superiority of this system, and Manchester United in recent years, the midfield has not joined world-class or even European-level stars, but they can always play the strength of not losing to any giant team, relying on this system! Of course, Sir Fred's tuning and tactical understanding are also crucial.
