4 Ferdinand II
Walk out of Markit Street and there is a bus stop not far from the junction where you can wait for the bus back to the city.
Originally, Xiao Yu had another choice, which was to call a taxi directly, but suddenly he didn't know why, he wanted to take the bus, maybe this was the same as when he used to commute to and from work, so it became a habit.
I don't know if all the buses are like this, or Xiao Yu is lucky, there are not many people on the bus he was waiting for, and there are several empty seats, which makes him specially pick a good seat near the window, open the window, and follow the bus slowly moving forward, the gentle wind blows his face, which is very comfortable.
The places he passed along the way always gave Xiao Yu a complicated feeling that was both strange and familiar, but at the same time he felt puzzled.
Strange because everything here was not in his memory, it never appeared in his life, but now he had to admit that he had lived in this place for 23 years and felt familiar with everything he saw in front of him.
As for the wondering, it was because he had come along the way, and he had barely seen a single tall building.
In the past, the city where Xiao Yu worked was full of high-rise buildings, and the suburbs were either industrial areas or real estate development, but the Manchester he saw in front of him, if he wasn't sure in his heart, coupled with some luxury cars passing by from time to time along the way, Xiao Yu would definitely mistakenly think that he was in a backward small township.
After entering the city, you can occasionally see a few high-rise buildings, but most of the buildings are still not high, and they look very old, but after unified planning and reasonable layout, the whole city appearance is comfortable.
The bus took Picatiri Park as the central stop, and when he got off the bus, Xiao Yu did not rush home, but took another bus passing through Old Trafford.
Trafford Park is located on the outskirts of the city and is known as Europe's largest shopping mall, with Manchester United's home stadium, Old Trafford, located in the heart of this huge shopping garden.
Getting off at the junction of Sir Matt Busby Boulevard, Xiao Yu walked to Old Trafford.
Sir Matt Busby Boulevard is located in the middle of a shopping mall and a large open-air car park, and if it is not during the game, it is generally relatively quiet, just standing at the intersection, you can easily see the giant star advertisement on the front of Old Trafford, the protagonist of the advertisement is naturally Manchester United's most popular stars today.
Xiao Yu walked for a while, came to the advertisement, and looked at Ryan Giggs on the advertisement, he secretly laughed in his heart.
"The brothers look alike, why don't I hang a big Rodri Giggs ad on the front of the stadium another day, maybe I can fool some fans into watching the game!" Xiao Yu muttered a chuckle.
When he used to be a football fan, one of the things he wanted to do most was to visit the stadiums of all the big clubs on the continent and see the atmosphere there.
But he didn't expect that when he really took the first step, his state of mind was completely different.
Now he should be considered a rival of Manchester United!
Although Manchester United may not care about this opponent, Xiao Yu will not allow himself to stay in the lower league forever, he will one day take the new Manchester United, from the bottom of the league, to climb to the Premier League, although the process is full of hardships and difficulties, but Xiao Yu will never give up!
In his previous life, although he was very fanatical about football, he couldn't rely on football to eat, he had no talent to play football, and he didn't have the opportunity to engage in the football industry.
But now it's different, since God has a chance to let him travel back to 1998, then he will never allow himself to continue to be mediocre.
"Anyway, it's all a life, I've already earned it, so I'll fight it!" Xiao Yu clenched his fists, constantly cheering himself up in his heart and making up his mind.
At this time, there happened to be a train rumbling past Old Trafford, as if taking away all Xiao Yu's past, from now on, he is about to start a new life journey!
For this new life, Xiao Yu set himself a goal, that is, to surpass Manchester United!
Standing in front of Old Trafford for a while, when Xiao Yu was about to leave, he found a familiar figure standing under the bronze statue of Sir Matt Busby in the distance, raising his head high, looking at the bronze statue on the second floor, with a reverent face.
"Do you like Manchester United?" Xiao Yu walked over and asked.
"Well, I'm coming from London, and one of the two things I have to do is to come here and see Old Trafford, Sir Matt Busby is the man I respect the most, he's great!" Curtis Davis pointed to the bronze statue and said reverently.
"If you like Manchester United, why did you go to the Red Rebels tryout?" Xiao Yu asked again.
The Red Rebels is the nickname of the new club, and although the club's registered name has not yet been finalized, the nickname is already well known to the fans, and that is the Red Rebels, and even in Walsh's bars, there are already people talking about forming a fan club for the Red Rebels.
"I don't know, anyway, I just like them, but I also like Manchester United, my dad said that the Red Rebels are not traitors, they decided to betray because they love them to the extreme, they are worthy of recognition and respect!"
After a pause, Curtis looked lonely, "It's a pity that they don't plan to set up a youth team and a youth team for the time being, and I'm only 13 years old and can't meet the requirements, so I ......" Curtis also made a helpless expression.
"Then you're not going back? Are you delaying here, not afraid that your parents will worry? Xiao Yu patted this guy on the head and found that he was almost as tall as himself.
At only 13 years old, he is about the same height as himself, and looking at his sturdy body, if he grows for a few years, he will definitely be a big man, and he is still very flexible.
This kid's physical fitness is absolutely tough! Soccer embryos!
When Xiao Yu played FM, he liked to find those teenagers with good physical fitness to practice, and those who were slightly disabled were like that no matter how they practiced, so when he saw the teenager in front of him now, he felt that he was a good embryo.
Of course, he is not in the game now, so it is naturally impossible to see the potential of this kid through the scouting tool.
"Stay a few more days, it's hard to get out!" Curtis said with a nonchalant look on his face.
"Run?" Xiao Yu was taken aback, "You shouldn't have sneaked out of the house, right?" ”
Curtis felt that Xiao Yu was making a big fuss, "I said, if I don't sneak out, stump you think my father will agree to let me run from London to Manchester alone?" I was training in London for a professional club's youth team, and my dad would be mad if he found out that I was trying out for an amateur team! ”
The kid spoke in a hard tone, as if he was confident in his own strength.
"So, you're still going to be a professional footballer, are you?" Xiao Yu thought this kid was funny, and from the time he saw Curtis's registration rejected, he thought this kid was very good.
'Of course, I'm the captain of our club's 15-year-old team and I play at centre-back. Curtis looked proud.
"Really? So what's your name? I'll see if I've heard of it. Xiao Yu deliberately made fun of him.
How famous can a 13-year-old be?
"Curtis Davis!" Curtis has some hopes, and teenagers at this age are always desperate for recognition and encouragement.
Xiao Yu immediately shook his head with a smile, if the boy said that his name was Rooney, then Xiao Yu must have known him, or that he was Abang Lajo and Lennon, but Curtis Davis, this name is really unimpressive.
"Hmph, that's in Manchester!" Curtis said unconvinced.
Xiao Yu didn't care too much, he just felt that this little ghost had a lot of temper and a very stubborn surname, but he often needed to have such a surname to be able to go further and more brilliant in the field of football.
"I think you'd better go back quickly, lest your parents be worried!" Xiao Yu kindly persuaded.
Curtis didn't speak, just stared blankly at the bronze statue of Sir Matt Busby, and after a while then spoke again: "When I go back, I may never come again!" ”
"Why?" Xiao Yu asked strangely.
'Luton Town has taken a fancy to me and my dad is going to let me go to a more formal team, which is a League Two club, which is very formal and has very strict requirements for the players in the youth team, so I will definitely not be able to go out as casually as I do now. Curtis pursed his lips.
Xiao Yu felt that although the young man in front of him was still a child, he was actually quite old-fashioned, at least he knew how to distinguish what was good for him and what was not good for him.
If he wants to continue on the road of football, it is definitely better to go to Luton than to stay at his current small club, so although he does not like the strict discipline of Luton, he decided to go because he loves to play football too much.
But not all kids who like to play football will be able to play for the future, at least with the name Curtis Davis, he really doesn't have an impression.
But just when Xiao Yu was thinking about how to comfort him, a piece of news suddenly came to mind.
In 2008, when Capello first entered England, he finalized the first England national team squad, which included the name of Curtis Davies, who debuted in Luton Town and later transferred to West Bromwich Albion in the Championship, and was loaned to the Premier League Aston Villa as a central defender during the winter break in 2007, and played a strong performance in several Premier League games, and was praised as "Ferdinand II".
Xiao Yu remembered the news because one of his favorite English stars, David Beckham, was not selected from the list and caused an uproar.
It's hard to say, is this stubborn teenager in front of him really the future England international, Ferdinand II?
If it's really that Curtis Davis, then it's really a death that can't be spared in vain!
ps: The Premier League-level manager has a deep relationship with Manchester United, guess who!
