After an away win over Woking on the 28th, the new Manchester United will host bottom-of-the-table Sutton on the 30th, a team that has had a terrible season, even worse than promoted Margrand Forest, who at least got a win soon after losing to the new Manchester United.

However, the Sutton team has lost seven games and seven times, and everyone is full of confidence that the new Manchester United will win such a weak opponent.

But Bruce and the coaching staff are obviously not so careless, except for the training time, they spend almost all the rest of the time studying the opponent's data, and at the same time, they are also arranging their own tactics according to the opponent's weaknesses.

And Xiao Yu welcomed Marin in a coffee house near the District Athletic Stadium.

Sitting in the café, you can see the façade of the Athletic Stadium in the distance, this stadium is also a few years old, the façade is very mottled, and after the new Manchester United bought this stadium, they will have to renovate it, as for renovation, then it is not necessary, because instead of having the time and money to renovate, it is better to simply rebuild a stadium.

In order to catch up with the new Manchester United in the second half of the season as soon as possible, the north stand that Xiao Yu wanted to build was temporarily shelved, so that once the stadium was put into use, it could only accommodate more than 8,000 fans for the time being.

According to the attendance rate of the new Manchester United this year, it can basically stabilize at more than 4,000, so such a stadium is enough for the new Manchester United to use, and when the season is over, the north side of the stand will be repaired, and the capacity of this stadium will be expanded to between 12,000 and 13,000.

"After seeing the Newton Heath training base and then seeing the stadium, I have to be convinced that you really have the determination to run a football club for a long time!" Ma Lin sat opposite Xiao Yu and said with a smile.

Xiao Yu smiled, "I was originally a fan, so no matter how rich I am in the future, I will only be a fan, didn't a philosopher say it?" It's better to have a little bit of pursuit, and my pursuit is to make New Manchester United the best club in the world! ”

"It seems more difficult than if you want to be the richest man in the world!"

"Of course, but I don't think I have a chance to be the richest man, not even the richest man in the UK!"

"Why?" Marin asked with interest.

Xiao Yu thought for a while, "Because my pursuit is all on football, and those who want to be the richest man, their pursuit is on career and interests, which is why I can't become the richest man." ”

Marin nodded in agreement, "But I think that at least at this stage, among your peers, you must be the richest man in the world." ”

Xiao Yu suddenly laughed, Ma Lin, this guy, it seems that no matter from what angle, he can dig out a sentence or two to praise people's topics, chatting with this guy, he is very happy, he is a talent!

"Are you ready for what I want?" After laughing, Xiao Yu asked.

Marin nodded, and took out a thick document from his briefcase, with photos on it, but more of statistics.

"Juninho Jr. is a very technical player, there is no denying it, look at his stops, if Ronaldo can get a perfect 100 points, then he can get at least 85 points." Ma Lin pointed to a photo and showed it to Xiao Yu.

The skills of Brazilian players in England must stand out from the crowd, after all, the current English football has not yet had the technical tendency that came later, even Wenger's Arsenal is still working in this direction.

"According to our statistics, Juninho has been second only to Paulsen, Matchinson, Patrice and Olic in all the time he has been on the pitch, so he is not the kind of laid-back Brazilian player, but he has a high rate of passing errors and is not very physical, and our statisticians have noticed that he seems to be avoiding physical contact, consciously or unconsciously."

When Xiao Yu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Ma Lin.

The latter immediately knew that it was a topic that Xiao Yu cared about, so he flipped through this document and turned to one of the pages, there were several photos on it, almost all of which were taken at the moment when Juninho Jr. came into contact with the opposing player, judging from the camera, Juninho Jr. was indeed a little afraid of physical contact.

"You mean, he's so weak in physicality that he's afraid of his opponent's physical scrambles?"

Marin laughed, "He is a player of your club, you should know better than me about his physical condition, I can only provide you with the data on the field, but more specifically, it still depends on your club." ”

Speaking of this, Ma Lin began to flip through the documents again, turned to the back pages, and then pointed to some photos on them for Xiao Yu to see.

"But I did notice the other thing, and that was that Juninho Jr. looked slow on the pitch."

"Slow?" Xiao Yu was surprised, because he had watched Juninho's training, although he was not that kind of speed player, but he was not very slow.

"When I say slow, I mean his pace, and if you look at these pictures, his passes are always a lot slower than his teammates' movements, and his own runs are always a little slow, so his teammates' passes to him are always broken, and the teammates around him are running and pacing very fast, so his slowness becomes a kind of curb on the team's rhythm."

"If it's a wide player, such as a full-back, this slowness doesn't have much effect, but he is a central midfielder, or the core of your club's careful construction, and he is also the biggest player in the national league, which makes his performance worse and worse, and his tacit understanding with the team is getting worse and worse, and he himself is probably getting less and less confident."

What Marin said immediately reminded Xiao Yu of a person, Riquelme.

The talented Argentine midfielder is known for his slow pace and he needs the whole team to revolve around him, so he can't do it anywhere, and he can only play well in Villarreal and at home.

Juninho Jr. may not be as talented as Riquelme, but he is also not as stubborn as Riquelme's style of play.

According to the memory of Xiao Yu's previous life, Riquelme is more talented and has a better style of play, and Juninho Jr.'s style of play is more simple and practical, and at the same time, his physical fitness is also better, and he is more able to adapt to the evolution and development of European football.

However, in Xiao Yu's memory, these two players are both football geniuses who have been underestimated by countless fans.

Maybe I should talk to Professor Fryer, maybe I can learn more from him! Xiao Yu thought to himself.

"Okay, Marlin, I've sent the money for this investigation to your account, I'm very satisfied with this report, I'm also interested in your company's business, but I don't know, have you considered moving your company's office to Manchester?"

"Doing things here?" Marin was a little surprised.

"Of course, my people and my career are here, so of course I hope that your company can develop here, and you know, Manchester is a big city, and it is easy to get around, which is not at all comparable to where you are now."

"But...... It's definitely more expensive in Manchester! Marin smiled wryly with some concern.

"Don't worry, Marin, I will never fight a battle that I am not sure of, since I put forward this point of view, there must be a way to solve it, I plan to buy your company, but all your staff must stay, as for the future development direction, I think the first thing is to improve your software as much as possible."

"But it would cost a lot of money!" Marin smiled wryly again.

"Hey, man, I said it, I'll solve the money aspect, improve the software at the same time, the data content collected should also be improved accordingly, I propose to build a complete and meticulous database, which includes all the collected team and player data information."

Ma Lin was taken aback when he heard this, but he was also a smart person, and he immediately thought of Xiao Yu's intentions.

"Mr. Xiao Yu, I have to admire your mind, in this way, we seem to have become the first scout of the new Manchester United club's intelligence on the opponent!" Marin said with a smile.

"Of course, but the new Manchester United will also pay your company a fee, right? And I'm not against you selling the data of the new Manchester United to your competitors, just keep it when the time is right! ”

"And then?"

"Then, I think we can first consider cooperating with some media, such as the recent Manchester City Evening News, The Sun, The Times, Sky TV and the like, through newspapers, TV stations, websites and other media, to publicize the authority of these data, we can provide it to them for free in the early stage, and then wait until the trial period is over, when readers and viewers are familiar with this kind of data, that is when we sit at home and count the money!"

After Ma Lin heard Xiao Yu's words, he was stunned.

For a long time, he has been suffering from not being able to find a chance to get ahead, but as soon as this matter came to Xiao Yu's hands, he immediately found so many opportunities to spread, it is not difficult to imagine that if it is carried out according to Xiao Yu's plan, although the initial investment will be a lot of money, the future benefits will definitely roll in.

And data is very subjective, once convinced, it will be difficult for other competitors to compete for the market, and then it will become a near-monopoly situation, so how amazing will the benefits be?

But from Xiao Yu's words, while admiring Ma Lin, he also had to feel that his intelligence was not as good as others, and he even thought that maybe he was more suitable to be an employee than to start a business and be a boss by himself, because he didn't have Xiao Yu's business sense.

As everyone knows, Xiao Yu's so-called business sense is all based on his experience of more than ten years more than others.

After talking with Marin for a while and finalizing a time for formal negotiations and signing, Xiao Yu returned to the Newton Heath training base with the thick data file.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the office, he immediately got a piece of news that he didn't want to hear!
