538 Rush through the motions

readx;

On July 25, when Zambrotta and Thuram appeared at the gate with their agents at Manchester Airport, the entire departure hall of Manchester Airport immediately boiled, and the reporters who had been waiting there immediately rushed to block the way of the two players. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Despite their cover-ups, the sharp-eyed journalist actually caught them all at once, much to the surprise of both stars, who had heard that England journalists were difficult to deal with, but they didn't expect to learn on the first day.

"May I ask Zambrotta, is it true that Barça's Laporta scolded you for moving to the Red Rebels for money?"

"Mr. Thuram, I heard that you would rather cut your salary by half in order to switch to the Red Rebels, can you explain that?"

"I heard that you even went out of your way to Juventus to strike for the sake of a transfer, is it true?"

The microphones of the reporters were stuffed in front of Zambrotta and Thuram like sausages, and the people stood in front of them, forcing them to stop.

"Our transfer was the result of discussions between the Red Rebels and Juventus, and I have nothing to explain about it!" Zambrotta had a gloomy face, and he hated nothing more than reporters chasing after the wind and reporting on things that were not true.

Thuram wanted to pull away the reporter who was in front of him, but he didn't expect the latter to be very tough, and he would rather die than give in.

The entanglement between the two sides in the waiting hall immediately attracted the attention of airport security and passing fans, and just at this time, Jim from the reception desk of the Red Rebels Club had already arrived with the staff, and immediately separated the reporters and took Zambrotta and Thuram out of the waiting hall.

"We've already made arrangements, you should have taken another passage just now to avoid those reporters!" Jim drove the club's Audi and smiled at Zambrotta, who was still a little scared in the back seat.

The latter and the agent glanced at each other, and shook their heads with a wry smile, the journalists in England are indeed terrible.

"Are we going to Newton Heath training now?" Zambrotta's agent, Bonetto, asked with concern.

For the Newton Heath training base, this is a mysterious place that all football people are eager to visit, but unfortunately, with the rise of the Red Rebels' reputation in recent years, it has long become an area where idlers are not allowed to enter, even if it is a training session open to the public, fans can only watch it on the side of the training ground, but cannot visit.

Due to the success of the Red Rebels and the mystery of the Newton Heath training base, the players who left the Red Rebels rarely mentioned the facilities in detail, except that the training base was the most advanced and well-equipped in Europe.

That's why Bonetto is also eager to visit the Newton Heath training base.

"No, let's go straight to the Royal Hospital, complete a medical examination there, and then attend the first Oktoberfest of our Red Rebels!" Jim said with a smile, looking at his belly on the steering wheel, it is not difficult to imagine that he is also a greedy person.

"Oktoberfest?" Bonetto was a little surprised.

If you want to talk about the British Oktoberfest, the most famous is the London Oktoberfest, when even Manchester has a Oktoberfest, or the first one, not only Bonetto is curious, even Zambrotta feels very novel.

"This is a collaboration between Budweiser and our Red Rebels, and the Oktoberfest will run for six days from July 25 to July 31 every year, during which a wide range of beers from all over the world and brewed by various workshops will be allowed to be exhibited and tasted for free in the Red Rebels theme park."

"On top of that, we're going to have a variety of activities at the Oktoberfest, and I heard that the kids from this year's academy are going to juggle and juggle, so I don't know what tricks they're going to do!" After saying that, Jim couldn't help but laugh.

As a die-hard Red Rebels fan, he paid close attention to the young players in the academy, and Zambrotta and others also got a hint of the Red Rebels from Jim's words.

The Red Rebels' academy is well-known in Europe, and has launched Curtis, Messi, Ismael, Michael? Johnson, Mikel and other stars, and Walcott last year, each of them is an eye-catching player, which also makes the Red Rebels academy much attention.

As he spoke, he arrived at the Royal Hospital from the Manchester airport, and Professor Fryer and the others had already prepared everything, and when Zambrotta and Thuram arrived, they immediately underwent a medical examination in the hospital, during which they were naturally disturbed by the reporters who had been waiting outside.

The whole medical examination process went very smoothly, both players were injury-free, and their physical fitness was also very good, Zambrotta was only 29 years old and was in his prime, although Thuram was 34 years old, but his physical fitness and condition were good, but the laboratory did not dare to be careless about this, they will strictly test the data of the two players, and launch a series of training and diet programs to help them stay in shape.

In the past, I had heard many times in the news and in the industry about the cumbersome medical examination of the Red Rebels, but now that I have experienced it myself, Zambrotta and the others found that in fact it was not cumbersome at all, because the Red Rebels prepared everything in an orderly manner, and the whole process was very compact, and all the physical examinations were completed in less than 2 hours.

When Zambrotta came out with a medical check-up, he found Thuram discussing something with Jim, and when he looked over to see that they were watching a view of a villa on a laptop.

"This is the house that the club has chosen for you, you can rent it out, you can buy it out, it's all your preference, and the club will do its best to fight for you in terms of price!" Jim introduced.

Zambrotta had to be pleased with the Red Rebels' attentive reception, and he and Thuram discussed it, and the two looked at the villas stored in their laptops, and Jim took them to the site to see the houses they had chosen, and gave them a detailed introduction to the nearby schools and community facilities.

After completing a field trip to the house, Jim takes them to the Red Rebels Field.

…………………… Although the sun was shining, the area around the Red Rebels stadium was crowded, and the entire Red Rebels theme park was carefully arranged as the venue for the Oktoberfest, and a stage was set up in the middle square, apparently the stage for the event that Jim was talking about.

Although the opening of the Oktoberfest will not be until the evening, there are already many fans who have stopped here, and they are even helping the staff to do things and become free volunteers, and when Zambrotta and the two saw the heartfelt smiles of the fans, they couldn't help but feel the close relationship between the Red Rebels and the fans.

In addition to the game, there are a series of other operations in the Red Rebels Stadium, such as the Red Rebels-themed restaurant, which has very professional international cuisines, and Jim specially brought Zambrotta and Thuram, as well as their agents, to dine here.

After a full afternoon of lunch, the players and agents toured the Red Rebels stadium before arriving at the Newton Heath training base around 4pm.

By this time, the Red Rebels' first team had returned to Manchester after playing the Premier League Asian Cup from Asia.

The Red Rebels were placed in a group with Chelsea in the Premier League Asian Cup, and played a round-robin match with Urawa Ruby of the Ayato, and the Red Rebels defeated Chelsea and Urawa Ruby successively, and played the final against Liverpool, the top of the other group, and finally won the Premier League Asian Cup with a narrow 1-0 victory over the opponent.

In many of the warm-up matches played in Asia, the Red Rebels performed well, and the players were not affected by Lahm's departure, after all, they are all professional players and should have been used to this kind of clutch scene a long time ago.

In fact, the situation in the Red Rebels is relatively good, Xiao Yu has always advocated that the lineup should be stable, so the personnel adjustment every season must be reduced to a minimum, and put it into other teams, such as Real Madrid, almost every year, which makes it difficult for Real Madrid players to adapt to parting.

"Hi Frank!" When he walked into the administration building, Jim, who was walking in front, greeted Ribery who had just walked out.

"Hey, Jim!" Ribery also greeted Jim intimately, and then he saw Zambrotta and Thuram, and greeted them with a smile, especially Thuram, who was teammates in the national team, and even got together to talk.

Ribery affirmed Thuram's move to the Red Rebels, saying he thought it was a very wise choice, while Thuram asked about Ribery's transfer with concern, who said it was going well and that if nothing else, he would be flying to Spain within a week to undergo a medical at Real Madrid.

This made Thuram feel strange, they were already separated, but Ribery seemed to be not affected by the transfer at all, and the relationship with the Red Rebels was good, and finally Ribery himself explained, he said that he is a professional player, and he must transfer for the future, but this does not mean that he has to be unhappy with the Red Rebels, on the contrary, he and the Red Rebels are friendly breakups, and goodbye is also friends.

"There are many examples of the same, Juninho Jr., Palacio, Olich, Abidal and others, they are also here a lot, although they are gone, they are still very close to the team, and I will continue to do the same in the future, I believe that every player who walks out of the Red Rebels will miss this place!" Ribery said reluctantly.

Thuram was a little shocked, for a professional football club, it is really rare to be able to get such an evaluation from a player!

In the administration building, Zambrotta and Thuram, along with their agents, met with the club's president, Xiao Yu, and general manager, Walsh, and the two sides agreed to hold a press conference tomorrow to officially sign, and the club will sign a four-year contract with Zambrotta and a two-year contract with Thuram.

Then Xiao Yu said that if they have any needs, they can directly report to the club, and the club will solve all the things outside the football field for them, and then invite them to participate in the opening ceremony of tonight's beer festival.

This is another big festival for Red Rebels fans, and indeed for the whole of Manchester, Granada TV will also broadcast tonight's Oktoberfest opening ceremony live, and at the call of the Red Rebels, the fans have also organized a variety of celebrations and activities, and the club strives to make this festival a celebration of interaction between the Red Rebels and the fans.

Zambrotta and Thuram then went to the training ground to meet Mourinho, who was directing the first-team players in training, and took the time to talk to them, saying that they would talk to them separately in the next few days, hoping to tell them what they wanted of them and what they wanted them to do in the shortest possible time.

Neither Zambrotta nor Thuram have any objection to the honest Mourinho, on the contrary, they feel that the best and most direct way to integrate into a new team is to do so.

However, they did notice a strange place, that is, after the end of training, Xiao Xiaoluo left the training ground under the protection of two bodyguards, and he was also the player who arranged bodyguards to protect him, which couldn't help but remind Zambrotta of the recent attack on the Portuguese star by England fans.

However, judging from Ronaldo's reflection, he seems to have begun to come out of the shadows, but for the sake of safety, Ronaldo will not play in the upcoming Newton Heath Cup, which is also a decision made by Mourinho to protect the Portuguese, and Ronaldo understands this.

After the training, Rowe asked the bodyguard to drive out through the back door, while he himself mixed in Kaka's car, along with Curtis, Messi and others, who will leave the Newton Heath training base together, and then attend the opening ceremony of the Red Rebels Oktoberfest together in the evening.

The players gradually dispersed, and the entire Newton Heath training base gradually became quiet, only the office of Xiao Yu, the administrative building in the distance, and the office of Mourinho, the training base, were still lit.

According to Jim, these two offices are the busiest places at Newton Heath's training base, especially Mourinho, who spends 15 hours a day almost every day, in addition to training, more to watch opponent videos, study tactics and so on.

"That's why he's getting more and more gray hair!" Jim joked with a smile.

However, Zambrotta and the others were very touched, when they didn't know before, they both thought that the Red Rebels were strong, but why they were strong, it was difficult for them to say why.

But today, it was just an afternoon trip to the Newton Heath training base, but they were deeply touched, the unity of the players is one thing, the players train hard and are very professional, and the diligence of Mourinho and the management is not lost to the players, and it is because of this that the glory of the Red Rebels has been created.

For a whole day, it seemed as if they were in a hurry, but Zambrotta and Thuram got to know the Red Rebels more deeply, and they began to understand why the Red Rebels had achieved so much, and why the Red Rebels were so scary!

Led by Jim, the two gathered their mood and prepared to head to the Red Rebels theme park with their agent to attend the opening ceremony of the Oktoberfest.

But at the same time, Kenyon, who was far away in London, was waiting for a long overdue phone call.
