The entire under-19 squad can tell that Ismael has been in a bad mood lately, not because of his relationship with his team-mates or because of his form, but because of his relationship with his team-mates, and he has scored a lot of goals recently, scoring a hat-trick in the last game.

But he was still very bad, as if it was written on his face, and everyone could see it clearly.

Ismail, Messi and Johnson are the attacking tridents of the new Manchester United under-19 youth team, and recently there is a Nigerian teenager named John Obi Mikel, his attacking ability is very good among his peers, he is not timid at all when he first arrives, and even seems to be very tacit in his partnership with Michael Johnson, and he also has strong running ability and defensive ability.

There is also Franck Franck Ribery, who has come down from the first team, who trains with the youth team but plays in the development squad and occasionally in the youth team, who can play in any position up front, who is very technical, but who is not very physical, and the club is focusing on him at the moment.

Today, these five men are hailed by fans as the future attacking duo of the new Manchester United.

When Sully Muntari and Essien arrived, Ismail was amazed by the arrival of the two Ghanaians, as they were both brilliant and talented, especially Essien, who was entrusted with a role as soon as he arrived at the club and who is now firmly established in the first team, despite the fact that he is only 18 years old.

Then there is De Rossi, this guy who used to play as a striker when he first arrived, Ismail was not very interested in him, this guy's shooting is terrible, and he is very thin, Ismael feels that he is not his opponent at all, but he has switched to playing as a midfielder or central midfielder, and he is getting better and better, and now he has a place in the first team, he is only 17 years old.

And then there was Kaka, the Brazilian's skills were really dazzling, and his speed was very fast, the frequency of his movements was very fast, and Ismael used to be very confident in his skills, although he felt that he was not as good as Messi, but at least he would not lose to others, even if it was Hleb and Juninho Jr.

But this season, Kaka came, Palacio came, and their arrival shocked Ismael, he didn't know that there was such a skilled person in the world, he had played against them, whether it was on the training ground or on the indoor football field, he was completely defeated.

Kaka left, Palacio stayed, but I heard that the club bought several more players in Brazil, including a talented striker who was considered by Mr. Xiao Yu to be no worse than Kaka, it seems to be called Alexandre Pato, the club is recently going through the procedures for him to come to Manchester for surgery, after the operation he will stay at the club for a while, and then go back to Brazil.

The comings and goings of the players scared Ismael, and he had a sense of crisis, he felt as if he was falling behind, and even Curtis, whom he regarded as his biggest rival in life, was now firmly established in the first team and hailed as a star by the English media.

But what about him? It's just a young player in the youth team!

With this sentiment, Ismail has worked harder than ever before in training, and he is worried that if he doesn't work hard, he may not be able to catch up with the others, and he will be eliminated at that time.

It doesn't matter who you lose, you just can't lose to that annoying guy from Curtis!

…………

…………

Xiao Yu has a habit that he likes to walk out of the training ground after the team has finished training and after the staff has packed up all the things and gets off work.

In his previous life, he was an otaku who could almost say nothing, but now in the past few years, he has a lot of achievements, he has a professional club that is completely his own, he has a group of young stars who will be famous in the future, he also has a girlfriend of a Hollywood A-list actress who has become famous all over the world, and he also has a large group of friends and colleagues.

He cherished all of them.

He walks around the training ground, taking care of every inch of it, like a rich man who likes to take care of his own back garden, he feels that the training base and the stadium are his back garden, the club is his home, and the players are his family and friends.

Mourinho believes that Xiao Yu's attitude towards players is too friendly, which can easily make players feel that they are a special one, so they become arrogant, but Xiao Yu feels that he will not, he knows that he just cares, if he feels special just because of this, then he will not hesitate to sell him.

The so-called concern contains many aspects, among which Xiao Yu was affected by his previous life, which is difficult for anyone to avoid, for example, for Messi, for Kaka, for Pato, they are all stars that Xiao Yu liked very much in his previous life, just ask, after crossing over, how can he suddenly become dislike them?

Xiao Yu will try to be friends with the players, because Mourinho is very strict, he can always calm the players, but Xiao Yu is not the kind of person who can be cold-faced, he prefers an optimistic and kind smile.

Crossing the path between the training ground of the first team and the youth team, Xiao Yu heard the sound of the ball hitting in the distance, and he walked over strangely and found Ismael practicing free kicks alone over there.

Although this strong little ghost is very tall, he is very fast, Xiao Yu can't help but think of Bolt when he sees him, that guy is also very tall and fast, and Ismael's skills are excellent, the only thing he lacks is his shooting ability.

Kassel's assessment of him is that he is a genius who runs without the ball and a stupid man who shoots, and like Manchester United's Andy Cole, he always squandes countless good chances before he takes a chance that is not even a chance.

It's a bit like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, either a brilliant goal or a goal, and once you score, it's sure to be brilliant.

But Kassel also said that if this flaw is not improved and the shooting percentage is improved with more basic and ordinary but very practical techniques, then Ismail will definitely not be a good striker, and he may suggest that Ismail switch to a winger, because he is very physical and fast.

Free kick after kick came from his feet, the kid's free kicks were terrible, but he seemed to be happy with it, but it was very powerful, and the big guy's free kicks were always powerful, a bit like Carlos's heavy gunner.

"Ismail, aren't you going to rest yet?" Xiao Yu walked over and asked with a smile.

Ismael turned around, saw that it was Xiao Yu, and shook his head, he knew that Xiao Yu had a good relationship with Curtis, so he didn't have a close relationship with Xiao Yu, in fact, his relationship with the other players in the team was also very average, and even in the youth team, except for training and games, he didn't get along with them much at other times.

"Why don't you go back home today to help?" Xiao Yu asked again.

Ismail's family is not good, although the club is subsidized, but his parents also have to do busy work, Ismail after school, in addition to training, most of them help at home to do some things, earn some extra money, and it is said that he often helps with nearby shops to make deliveries.

"No, I told my dad that I'd be practicing at the club for half an hour!" Ismael gritted his teeth and took another free-kick, this time hitting the destination he was looking for, and a twinkle of pride flashed in his eyes.

Extra practice is what many first-team members are used to doing, for example, Juninho Jr. will practice after training, and some people will go to the indoor football stadium or go to the game room of the training building to practice video games after training, but Ismael comes here to practice free kicks, which makes Xiao Yu feel appreciated.

Quietly watching Ismael's free throws one after another, this kid also seemed to treat Xiao Yu as air and practiced there by himself, but his poor free kick level was really flattering.

"Hey, Ismail, did you learn how to take free kicks?" Xiao Yu suddenly felt a headache, and he found it torture to watch Ismael take a free kick.

It's two very different pleasures from watching Juninho Jr. take a free-kick, two extremes.

Ismail paused, shook his head, and tried to say something, but didn't, and continued to take free throws.

"You can't do that, Ismail, you know? That's not how free kicks are taken! Xiao Yu looked like a very expert.

Ismail was stunned for a moment, turned around, and looked at Xiao Yu, as if he was asking for advice, as if he was saying, boss, why don't you punish me for one!

Xiao Yu was very depressed, if he could take a free kick, he would have been a professional player a long time ago, and he would have to be the boss?

"I won't punish either, but Juninho Jr. is a master in this regard, I have seen him punish countless times, I know that it is not punished like this, you have to pay attention to skill, you can't practice a free kick purely by practicing to death!"

Ismail listened carefully and looked up at Xiao Yu with some expectations.

Xiao Yu could see this kind of look, he knew Ismail's surname, in fact, he knew the surnames of most of the team's players very well, because he was sincere to deal with every player, to care about and understand them, so Xiao Yu knew that Ismail could not take the initiative to say something for help.

"Well, I know that Ribeiro will practice free-kicks on the first-team pitch every day after training, maybe I can tell him that when the time comes, let him go to the youth team to practice and then coach your free-kick skills, what do you think?"

Ismael was expressionless and didn't say anything, just nodded silently, turned around, and after a while, two words came faintly, "Thank you!" ”

Xiao Yu suddenly smiled after hearing this, walked over, and came to Ismail's side, as if he and Ismail were close friends.

"Tell me, Ismail, why would you want to practice free-kicks?"

Ismail was silent for a while, but his hands couldn't help clenching his fists, gritting his teeth and saying word by word: "Because I want to defeat Curtis!" ”

Xiao Yu was stunned, he could hear that this was Ismail's belief that he was constantly urging himself to progress!
