The signing of David Beckham was a big deal, and despite the Red Rebels' deliberately low-key approach, it still attracted a lot of media attention, and there were countless media outlets outside the Newton Heath training ground, who focused their crazy cameras on everyone who came in and out of the team.

The Red Rebels' list of first-team players is material that every journalist must memorize, and their photos must be familiar, as well as their surnames, so that reporters can later make up news about who doesn't like Beckham and who rejects Beckham.

In addition, some media helped Xiao Yu make a statistic.

The Red Rebels sold Senna for £6 million this season, Juninho Jr. moved to Real Madrid for £14 million, Hleb moved to Barcelona for £15 million, and the Red Rebels earned £35 million from the transfer of these three players.

But what about transfer spending?

In addition to Beckham's £18 million, the introduction of McCone is said to be only £1 million, and it is a transfer booked in advance, which means that the Red Rebels are currently sitting on £15 million.

According to the change of the transfer system of the Premier League this season, the team can take the form of installment payment for reinforcements, so many media began to take the initiative to find candidates for the Red Rebels, including even the Chinese player Li Tie, who was involved in a transfer dispute with Everton, on the grounds that the Red Rebels went to Senna and needed a midfielder, and Xiao Yu is Chinese and has feelings for Chinese.

But it was Everton's Wayne Rooney who passed the most!

Of course, there are in and out, and naturally there are more media revelations that the Red Rebels must sell many stars to raise funds for the construction of a new stadium, even the leading stars such as Kaka, Curtis and Terry.

The Red Rebels did not give any reply to the rumors from the outside world, because this kind of thing is often more and more black, I don't talk to you, let you say it, you will stop when you are tired, if I refute it, the more energetic you will say.

However, it still had some impact in the hearts of the club players!

…………………… Ismail, Messi, Mikel and Michael? Johnson both live near Newton Heath.

Since the youth team's training camp was a day earlier than the first team, they made an appointment and arrived at the training base early in the morning.

These four players are currently the most promising future stars in the youth team and have been attracted by many teams, but they have all rejected the temptation of other teams to stay with the team.

Both Ismael and Messi are a little flustered by the news of the team's frequent signings, having played a few games in the first team at the end of last season, but that was in League One, and this season the team was promoted to the Premier League, bringing in stars like David Beckham, and is said to have been linked with England's supertalent Wayne Rooney.

This has put pressure on both Ismael and Messi, has the club forgotten that they exist?

Do they still have a chance?

"You see, so many people come to the training base, all for Beckham and Rooney!" Ismail said with some sourness.

He made a couple of appearances in the first team last season and did well, scoring three goals, which made him think he could break into the first team this season, if not by the team, but at least give him some opportunities to play and work out.

But if the team is really bringing in Wayne Rooney, then Ismail feels that he really has no hope.

"Don't be discouraged, Ismail, Mr. Xiao Yu often says that the team attaches great importance to youth training and will not forget the academy!" Messi said comfortingly, but in fact, his heart is still bottomless.

For these new stars of the academy, reporters are naturally no strangers, chasing Messi and others to take pictures one by one, so frightened that these little ghosts suddenly ran into the communication room one by one, did not dare to live or die, and went straight to the training building.

At the beginning of the season, the Red Rebels' Under-19 team will travel to Argentina for a training camp and will also have warm-up matches with some Argentine teams, and Messi is looking forward to this trip to Argentina as he represents the Red Rebels back to his home country.

Walking into the youth team locker room in the training building, there is a list posted at the door, which is the list of all the youth team players who will go to Argentina to participate in the training camp.

As the absolute main force of the youth team, Messi and Ismail, who have played in the first team, naturally have no doubt that they will be selected, Michael? Johnson and Mikel were equally unfazed.

But when these confident players walked to the bottom of the list and glanced at the names on the list, from top to bottom, from goalkeepers to forwards, Messi found that there was no name of his own.

In addition to Messi, Ismael was not selected, only Michael? Johnson and Mikel were selected.

"This ...... What's going on? "Messi couldn't believe it.

He and Ismail were now in a mood as if they had fallen from heaven to hell, and they were both panicking.

"Just now Mr. Muhrensteen said that players who are not selected for the roster will stay at the training base to train!" One of the players next to him who was selected for the roster said, "Maybe you're really going to be pushed out of the transfer market!" ”

Yes, there have been rumours of many teams making offers for Messi and Ismael recently, did the club really agree?

"Don't listen to their nonsense, Leo, Ismail, there must be no such thing!" Michael? Johnson reassured.

"Yes, that's right, it must be a rumor, or the list is missing!" Mikel followed suit.

Curtis, who walked out of the first team locker room area in the distance, saw the four people gathered here, and walked over a little strangely, "What's the matter, Leo, what's going on?" ”

Ismail didn't have much interest in Curtis, even if the latter became the team's vice-captain, and turned his head away with a cold snort.

"They weren't in the squad for Argentina!" Michael? Johnson helped Messi and said, "Leo has been looking forward to going to Argentina for a long time, but I didn't expect to lose the election, will it be ......?"

Johnson didn't dare to say the latter words, but the meaning was clear, could it really be to sell Messi and Ismael, or go out on loan?

"No, I haven't heard!" Curtis immediately shook his head, but he was only the captain of the team, and he didn't know anything about the management.

After thinking about it, Curtis decided that he should figure it out, "Let's go, I just saw the boss coming, let's go to his office and ask him!" ”

The players immediately nodded.

Curtis often comes to Xiao Yu, basically to talk about some team things, as the vice captain of the team, he has always served as the link between the team and Xiao Yu, but basically this kind of conversation Mourinho will be present, he is the head coach of the team, Xiao Yu and Curtis respect him very much.

After being questioned by the secretary, Curtis knocked on Xiao Yu's office, and after getting permission, he took Messi and the others in.

"Wow, what's going on, why are you all here?" Xiao Yu's tone was a little surprised, but he seemed to be in a good mood.

Curtis was in a hurry, and came directly to Xiao Yu's desk, and asked anxiously, "Boss, I heard that you are going to sell Leo and Ismail?" ”

Xiao Yu was stunned, "Who said that?" What are the media out there? ”

The players didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"!" Xiao Yu scolded indignantly.

Curtis was overjoyed, "But if not, then why weren't they selected for the training camp to Argentina?" And Michael and John were both selected! ”

Xiao Yu immediately understood that daring was the fault of that list, and he was secretly amused in his heart, so he pretended to hesitate for a moment, nodded in embarrassment: "Okay, I confess to you, I am indeed ready to let Leo and Ismail transfer, and you don't have the right to refuse." ”

"How can this be?" Curtis was a little angry.

He thinks that Xiao Yu keeps saying that he attaches importance to youth training and attaches importance to their group of academy players, but in the end, he has to sell the players he has cultivated, is it because Messi and others are not good enough?

"I really can't help it, Curtis, you have to understand me!" Xiao Yu had an innocent expression.

Messi and the others were obviously a little disappointed, but just as they were about to speak, Xiao Yu said it again.

"Although our team has brought in Beckham, we have also sold a lot of people, and there is a serious shortage of people in the first team, and Coach Mourinho asked me for someone, and I didn't dare to refuse, so Leo and Ismael were forced to transfer!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Yu suddenly laughed, "From the youth team to the first team, you will follow the team to participate in the Irish training camp and officially enter the first team!" ”

Messi and Ismail were stunned, and Curtis was also dumbfounded, not yet digested.

After waiting for a while, they suddenly laughed, Messi and Ismail were so excited that they almost jumped up, and Michael? Johnson and Mikel are even more envious.

Although Messi and Ismael represented the first team last season, they basically stayed in the youth team, and now they are officially transferred to the first team.

"Okay, Leo, I heard you would love to go back to Argentina, maybe I can talk to Coach Mourinho and let you go back with the youth team, and then we will transfer another person to the first team!" Xiao Yu deliberately made a joke about Messi.

Messi immediately shook his head frequently, "No, no, no, boss, I'm going to Ireland, I'm not going to Argentina!" ”

Seeing him like this, everyone burst out laughing.

After laughing, Xiao Yu looked at the group of little guys in front of him, they are the future of the Red Rebels, they are players who have been trained and grown up under the mature tactical system of the Red Rebels, and they are the members of the Red Rebels.

"You should believe me, what I say is never unfulfilled, the academy is the treasure trove of our club, and you are the treasures of the treasure trove, although you still need to carve and grow, but the team will protect you, the team is your home!"

Xiao Yu put his arm on the shoulders of Messi and Ismail and said solemnly.

"And you, Michael, John, you have to work hard and try to get into the first team as soon as possible!" Xiao Yu said cheeringly.

Michael? Johnson and Mikel kept nodding, they clearly felt the club's concern for them from Xiao Yu's words, knowing that the club always cared about them, and a warmth of being valued suddenly surged in their hearts.

After getting Xiao Yu's reply, Messi and Ismail also completely let go of the big stone in their hearts, they determined their future in the club, and at the same time secretly vowed in their hearts that they must repay the team with harder training and excellent game form, although they know very well that they cannot become the main force of the team this season.

But they are only 16 years old, they are still very young, and they have a bright future!
