Returning to England from Brazil, there are still many things waiting for Xiao Yu.

First of all, the first thing to do was to take the elder Drow to the Newton Heath training base.

Although more than half a month is not a long time, after coming back, the changes in the Newton Heath training base still surprised Xiao Yu.

The green belt of the fence has been arranged, and walking on Droisden Road, it seems that there is no trace of the fence at all, and the wall is planted with towering trees, which cover the situation inside, but because of the greenery, people do not feel bored to see it.

The gate of the training base is very ordinary, the gate on both sides is double-opened, there is a security room next to it, and two old fans are hired to take turns on duty, when the old man on duty sees Jim's taxi, he knows who the person sitting in the car is, and immediately goes out to greet Xiao Yu, who also rolled down the window and waved to him with a smile.

These are just some details, but Xiao Yu pays attention to these details.

The turf of the training base has been paved, that is, the training building is still under construction, and even if it is built, the decoration, the purchase of equipment and so on, the training building will not be put into use until at least next season.

From a distance, a single-storey building is also being built in a corner of the training base, and the perimeter is enclosed with an iron fence to isolate this place from the training base, as if it were another space, which is the area where the laboratory is located.

Seeing that the club's training base was being built in full swing, the elder De Rossi, who was visiting Newton Heath for the first time, was surprised.

"Is this really a training ground for an England fifth tier team?"

'Of course, Alberto, once it's done, even a lot of Premier League teams can't beat us.' Kassel also said with an excited face.

He is one of the main planners of the new Manchester United Newton Heath training base, and this training base has also poured a lot of effort into him, so when he sees that this training base has begun to take shape, he will not be less excited than Xiao Yu.

"Alberto, where will you work in the future!" Xiao Yu pointed to the training ground of the second-tier team, where many young players were already participating in training.

Due to the new season, the new Manchester United under-19 youth team will participate in the youth league organized by the FA, so the new Manchester United specially prepared an additional youth team, and now the club has a total of three youth teams, according to age.

Lionel Messi, Curtis, Ismael and Michael Johnson are all in the oldest youth team and will have the opportunity to play in the 19-year-old league.

As for the new signings De Rossi and Muntari, they will be placed to train with the youth team for the time being, while Essien will be placed directly in the first team.

"Hey, Boss, you're back!" Curtis saw Xiao Yu from a distance and greeted him through the barbed wire.

"Just arrived, Curtis, oh, be careful!"

Before Xiao Yu's reminder arrived, Curtis's whole person was knocked to the ground by Ismael, who pounced on him with the ball.

"Damn bastard, Ismail, you did it on purpose!" Curtis jumped up like an angry lion.

"Who made you inattentive!" Ismail looked defiant.

Curtis glared at Ismail for a while, nodded fiercely, made a gesture to Xiao Yu to talk later, and then walked away.

It didn't take long for him to knock Ismail to the ground with a beautiful, but at the same time ruthless, tackle.

Through the barbed wire, seeing the appearance of these two enemies, Xiao Yu smiled helplessly.

"Hey, Leo!"

"Hello, boss, I'm still wondering when you'll be back!" Messi took advantage of the gap in training to run over and say a few words.

"What? Is there something wrong? ”

"It's okay, I just think it's been a long time since I've seen you, and I think it's weird!" Messi laughed.

"How's your training and treatment going?" Xiao Yu looked concerned.

"Well, I go to Professor Fryer every day as an experiment, I follow the training content and diet menu he gave me exactly, it should be fine, I have recently grown a centimeter taller."

Xiao Yu was also very relieved after hearing this, he really put a lot of effort into Messi, and now watching him continue to improve, he couldn't be happier.

"Hey, Xiao Yu!" Walsh in the distance walked out of the office and called Xiao Yu from afar.

After Xiao Yu said goodbye to Messi, he walked to the office.

The elder De Rossi followed Kassel directly to the youth team's training base, and the latter apparently wanted to introduce the training situation of the new Manchester United to the former, so that the latter could get started as soon as possible.

"Hey, brother, you've been traveling for more than half a month, and you're relaxed and happy, but I pity me for staying in Manchester all day, both as a scout and as a negotiator, and running around all day long, tired half to death, you know?"

As soon as I walked into the office, I heard Walsh complaining.

In addition to Walsh, Bruce, who returned from vacation, was also there.

"This guy almost complains!" Bruce laughed.

"Didn't I tell you to hire a few more people? How? Didn't get it? Xiao Yu glanced at the office, except for the clerk hired before, it was empty.

"The recruitment announcement has been posted, and there are indeed a few people who have come for interviews, but you still have to sign it." After speaking, Walsh stuffed Xiao Yu with a document.

After opening it, there were two resumes of female staff, and Xiao Yu only glanced at them and signed them.

"In addition, I have already done a few things that you told me before."

"Can you find it?" Xiao Yu asked with concern.

"Of course, Sylvain Distin, 22 years old, as you might expect, currently plays for the semi-professional team Tours in the French third division, we have offered a higher salary than Tours, and he is already willing to move to Manchester for a transfer fee of £160,000."

Xiao Yu couldn't help nodding his head in appreciation, this central defender was the main force of Manchester City later, during Sun Jihai's tenure at Manchester City, Xiao Yu also paid attention to this player, tall and strong, excellent explosiveness, solid defensive skills, very high-altitude advantage, as long as a little training, he is definitely a Premier League-level central defender.

"What else?"

'Eric Abidal, French, 20 years old, plays for Lyon's semi-professional team Duchere, we started negotiations with the other side and finally raised the price to £180,000 before they agreed to release him, and Abidal also agreed to move to Manchester.

This player was the main left wing-back of Barcelona later, but now he still plays as a central defender, occasionally as a left wing-back, with excellent physical condition, strong marking ability, and very outstanding physical fitness, speed, flexibility, explosiveness, strength, etc., lacking nothing, almost a beast-level player.

"Seriously, Xiao Yu, I've seen the footage of the two central defenders that Andy brought back, I'm curious, where exactly did you see the news about these two players?" Bruce asked curiously.

"How? Is it to your taste? Xiao Yu asked with a smile.

Bruce nodded, both of these players are quite good, they are in excellent physical condition, which is the foundation of their footing in the English league, but at the same time they also have quite solid fundamentals, and their defensive skills are also excellent, and with a little adjustment, they will definitely be an iron defender.

"That's fine, Steve, I knew they would please you!"

"What about the strikers? Crouch and Kitson have already reported, and with Jonathan Maiten, I'm thinking about whether you should have an extra striker while you're still generous! Bruce said with a smile.

Who knew that as soon as he said this, Xiao Yu immediately laughed.

Walsh on the side laughed similarly, "Steve, he's got two more forwards for you." ”

"Really? Who? Bruce was taken aback.

"One is the main scorer of the Serbian region of Yugoslavia, the main scorer of the Bačkapotola team, 19-year-old Nikola Žikić, speaking of this player, I have to say, it's terrifying, it's more than 2 meters tall, like a basketball player, and it's also very efficient, last year in 28 official games, 28 goals were scored."

"Shouldn't such a player be cheap?" Bruce was a little taken aback.

Crouch is already tall, but listening to Walsh's tone, this player named Kic seems to be taller than Crouch.

"There's a local club that wants to rob us, and we really can't do anything but raise the price, which cost us £150,000 in total, but I still think this guy must be a goal machine, he's different from Crouch, not as weak as the latter, his height is very intimidating!"

When Walsh said this, Bruce was intrigued.

"When he comes, I'll see him!"

England teams have always liked the combination of high and fast, such as Husky and Owen, the former is intimidating in height and the latter in terms of speed, and Capello initially took a fancy to Kitson for his height and strength of 191, as well as his advantage in the air.

As an English player, Bruce also has a penchant for high school forwards, such as Jonathan Maiten, a powerful centre-forward, who partnered with the fast Rodri Giggs last season.

Xiao Yu, who knows the taste of Bruce, will naturally take care of Bruce's hobby when buying a forward, so after he selects the more skilled Crouch, the physically stronger Kic and Kitson, he will naturally consider the vacancy after the departure of Rodri Giggs.

In fact, Xiao Yu's candidate will definitely be unexpected.

"Come on, Andy, don't sell it, who's the last striker? Is it native to England? Bruce was anxious to know.

The old god Walsh shook his head.

"EU's?"

Walsh shook his head.

"Don't sell it, Andy, just tell him it!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"Don't laugh, Xiao Yu, you know? The message you gave me about this player is wrong! Walsh had the look on his face that I was about to settle accounts with you.

When Xiao Yu heard this, he was stunned.

Wrong? How can it be?

ps: I'm very sorry, I was temporarily pulled to work overtime today, and I didn't come back until now!

Due to the recent adjustment of working hours, coupled with the lack of computers during working hours, Lao Chen really has no way to ensure that the fixed time is updated, so I would like to say to you here, I'm sorry!

Next week, I will repay you with three watches a day!

Finally, thank you for your support!
