Xiao Yu has always had respect for German football, although he does not like to watch the German team play, but this does not prevent him from appreciating the fighting spirit and perseverance of the German team, which is a group of players who fight with team spirit.

In the past, when he was a football manager at FM, his favorite striker to buy was the kind of player with excellent speed, preferably and excellent technique, so his eyes were more focused on Aguero, Messi, Ronaldo and others.

But there was one person, Xiao Yu was very impressed by him.

Ivica Olich, a player who is still unknown, but in the 2010 European Champions Cup, he was a classic case of a savior in danger and a goal to fame.

In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Bayern hosted the Red Devils Manchester United, and through their unremitting efforts and tenacity of never giving up, Olic scored a goal in the last second before the end of the game to help Bayern beat Manchester United 2:1.

It was this golden-worthy goal that made Olic known to fans all over the world, and then he added another goal in the second leg and scored a hat-trick in the semi-final away to Lyon.

It can be said that in 2010, it was Olich's miraculous play that helped Bayern reach the Champions League final.

Throughout the 09-10 season, Olic scored 11 goals in 29 appearances for Bayern in the Bundesliga, seven goals in 10 Champions League appearances and one goal in two appearances in the German Cup.

This is a pleasant palmares, especially for a free transfer player who has zero value.

Olic has not always been an efficient goalscorer, before Bayern Munich he scored the most goals in the Croatian league in the 01-03 season, where he scored a total of 54 goals in 84 games, and then moved to Russia, where he played more as a left winger, which contributed to his sharp decline in goals.

In fact, Xiao Yu took a fancy to Olich, not because of his efficiency, but more because of his wind-like speed, and his 90 minutes on the field, never stop running, he is like a perpetual motion machine that is always fully charged, from the moment the whistle blows, he can never stop.

Maybe Olich's technique is not great, maybe his shooting skills are not good, he is not very efficient, but who would not love a player who is extremely fast and can run the whole game for 90 minutes, with the German kind of player who never gives up?

"Ivica Olich?" Bruce frowned and thought, "Who is it?" ”

"A Croatian striker, who performed well in the Croatian second division last season, was favored by Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga and brought to Germany, who knows but has never been able to play, and after half a year, Hertha Berlin lost confidence in him and wanted to send him back to Croatia." Walsh replied.

"Is he resuscitating?" Xiao Yu was a little worried.

In fact, his arrival had changed a lot of things, but more often in the subtle changes around him, but he could not guarantee that the change would not affect Germany.

"There is no recovery, he can't play at Hertha Berlin, he has made three appearances all season without scoring a goal, Hertha Berlin has completely lost faith in him."

"All season? Didn't he return to Croatia during the winter break? Xiao Yu was very surprised.

At this moment, Walsh and Bruce both looked at Xiao Yu in surprise, "Why are you so sure that he will return to Croatia?" ”

"I saw the news on the internet that Hertha Berlin was going to send him back, so I asked Walsh to negotiate with Marsonia in the Croatian Second Division."

When the two heard this, they immediately stopped entangled.

"Hertha Berlin did intend to send him away, but he chose to stay, and at the same time he was married to a German girl and still lives in Germany, so I went to Croatia and couldn't find it, so I went to Germany to try my luck."

Speaking of this, Walsh was full of resentment towards Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu smiled apologetically, "What about the result?" ”

"Hertha Berlin has wanted to send Olic away for a long time, so they still owe Marsonia a transfer fee of £130,000, which Olic owed when he moved from Malsonia to Hertha Berlin."

Walsh paused, took a sip of water and continued: "I spoke to Hertha Berlin and they agreed that as long as we help them pay the £130,000 in arrears, then they will agree to Olic moving to the new Manchester United. ”

"You agree?" Bruce asked with concern.

"Of course, I called him and he said he was going to buy Olich!" Walsh pointed at Xiao Yu.

Bruston shook his head, this guy is too loser, it looks like he doesn't spend money like money at all.

"Steve, don't worry, listen to me, I've done the math, we have five strikers in the team at the moment, Crouch, Kic, Kitson, Olic and Jonathan Maiten, of which Kitson hasn't had formal training for three years, we obviously can't expect high hopes from him, and Jonathan did play well in the Northwest Division B, but we're in the national league now."

"I think it's worth it to buy an extra striker and be prepared, and I don't think we're doing a loss-making business!"

"Well, if you have a point, what about the right midfielder I want?"

Xiao Yu looked at Walsh, who immediately spoke.

"Yes, there is more than one, we have brought in a wide player from Borisov FC in the Belarusian League, Aleksandar Hleb, who is very good with both left and right feet, and can play on both the left and right wings of the front court; In addition, we have brought in Poland international Kłał Novik from Belhatu in the Polish Second Division, who is a left-footed player who can also make occasional cameos on the right wing, and will be a formidable full-back for the new season. ”

The introduction of Hleb spent 70,000 pounds on the new Manchester United, and Knovick spent 90,000 pounds, they are all from weak football countries, so the latter is already a Polish international, and the former is also well-known in Belarus, but the transfer fee will not be too high.

With the addition of these two wide stars, the two wings of the new Manchester United are bound to become more fluid this season.

'As for the midfield, I've already spoken to Holbeck, a third-tier Danish side who are a semi-professional side and they can't keep Paulsen who is determined to leave, so we only paid £110,000 to get Paulsen.

'We also brought in right-back Griffin Stansson from Iceland's IA club, and as the 17-year-old has not yet signed a contract with IA FC, we only paid £10,000 to the other side before bringing him to Manchester.

Back when Walsh first started talking, Bruce kept a record of the players he was talking about, as well as their transfer fees, on a notepad he carried with him, and by now, he's starting to keep the numbers on them.

In the end, he came to the conclusion that this year, the team spent a total of 1.9 million pounds on the introduction of players, and all of them were paid once, of which Juninho Jr. alone spent 800,000 pounds, which must be the transfer target of this year's national league, and even League C and League Two, and may even be the transfer target of League One.

Juninho's salary is also not low, with a weekly salary of 4,000 pounds after tax, which is the highest in New Manchester United, several times higher than Jonathan Maiten, but the latter is staring at the aura of the Brazilian international, so it is understandable that he gets a high salary.

With the exception of Juninho Jr., the rest of the players are largely unknown, even Crouch from the Premier League, who is not even a mainstay in Tottenham's youth team, let alone outside Tottenham.

"Frankly speaking, Xiao Yu, with such a big reinforcement, I say that there is a lot of pressure!" Bruce joked.

Indeed, it is a Brazilian international and a Poland international, how can any club in this national league have two internationals at the same time?

"Don't worry, Steve, I won't put any pressure on you, you can coach as you wish, and the club will fully support you!" Xiao Yu replied in the affirmative.

Although a lot of money was spent and a lot of reinforcements were introduced, in fact, Xiao Yu didn't feel that he should give Bruce a death order, after all, in this way, it might add a burden to the team, and the result would not be good.

"Andy, how are the accommodations of our new signings going?"

"It's all arranged, I've let people find a few good places nearby, they can choose their favorite house when they come, rent it, and move in with their luggage."

"We must pay attention to this aspect of things, especially the eating habits and living habits of the players, and we must pay close attention to them, and I don't want to cause the players that our team has brought in a lot of money to become a failure case because of these details."

"Don't worry, I will follow up on this in person, and there will be no problems."

Xiao Yu is very relieved about Walsh's style of doing things, he is the kind of person who is very careful and patient, and will not make mistakes, but it is difficult to ask him to make surprises, this kind of person is responsible for this kind of logistics work, Xiao Yu naturally has no reason not to worry.

Bruce, who was sitting on the side, looked at the time and felt that it was almost over, so he stood up, "Xiao Yu, do you want to go home and prepare, change your clothes, and take a shower?" ”

"Why?" Xiao Yu was a little strange when Bruce was so concerned about his personal hygiene.

"It's time for us to leave for Ireland!"

"yes, you forgot, David's wedding!" Walsh reminded him from the sidelines.

"No, of course I remember, July 4th, isn't it only July 3rd today?" Xiao Yu suddenly realized at this time that Bruce was wearing a neat suit, and Walsh was also dressed very formally.

"Oh my God, you can't even forget about the bachelor's farewell party, do you? It is a tradition for men in England to get married, just the night before the wedding. Bruce slapped his forehead.

How dare Xiao Yu say anything more, he really didn't know that there was such a tradition for English men to get married!
