Red Rebels

72 touchstone

After attending Beckham's wedding, Xiao Yu and others rushed back to Manchester that night, while Scarlett, who pretended to be Xiao Yu's girlfriend, would stay in Dublin for one more night.

On the returning plane, Xiao Yu clarified this oolong farce. The result was naturally a joke from Bruce and others, but they were more envious and said that if there was such a beautiful woman The reporters pretend to be their girlfriends, so they are really dead.

After returning to Manchester, the group parted ways at the airport. Xiao Yu, Bruce and Walsh returned directly to the Newton Heath training base.

In the next few days, while Xiao Yu and Walsh once again urged the city government to decide on the sale decision of the district athletic stadium and the surrounding land, new players joining the club also began to arrive.

Crouch and Kitson were the earliest players to contact Xiao Yu. The former came directly to the training camp of New Manchester United after the holiday ended, while the latter came to Manchester to observe New Manchester United a few days after contacting Xiao Yu. The situation, as a result, stayed.

Both players are very tall, but the former looks very thin, but the foot skills are very good. The first training he participated in was a little surprised, but his physical confrontation ability was very bad. .

Kitson is 1.91 meters tall and weighs 83 kilograms. He is very strong but not bulky. He belongs to the pure center type player, but he is currently in the center position.

Kitson's position as a central defender is a big trouble. He is always accustomed to fighting with his opponent with his own body, and his problems like going forward and participating in the offense do not feel any big problems in the Sunday league, but Once in the national league, it will definitely be knocked out.

Watching Kitson training for the first time, Xiao Yu proposed to Bruce on the spot, saying that Kitson should be retrained as a center and serve as a bridgehead for the team's positional battle. His technique is also good, his style is tenacious, and he should be able to provide more options and help for New Manchester United's forward.

Although Crouch is 2 meters tall, in fact his heading skills and his thin body have long destined him to not be suitable for this role.

The club was already surprised by Crouch's height, but when Zikic came to the team at 2.02, the record was broken again, except for a few tall players such as Crouch Almost all the remaining club staff had to talk to him with his head up.

Among them, one of the laboratory staff was only 1.65 meters. When he wanted to help Rikic to test the shoulder width, he couldn't reach it. He could only find a stool to step on. This fun thing caused a sudden uproar in the club. .

The players reported at the same time as Zikic include Amunia, Abidal, and Distin.

Roberto Kane, the goalkeeper who represented New Manchester United in the Northwest Division B last season, has been taken back by Droisten, so the team has only had David Green as a goalkeeper during this period of training. Until the arrival of Armonia.

Abidal and Distin are both black players and French, so after considering it, the club decided to help them live in a house near the Newton Heath training base, and as old players, Evra took the initiative to help the French compatriots integrate into the team.

Although they came to an unfamiliar country and entered an unfamiliar team, Abidal and Distin were very active and physically fit when they joined the team's daily training on the second day after they arrived. Especially Abidal, his superb physical fitness makes people shine.

During the period when the team was just training, the laboratory became the club's busiest department.

According to Professor Fryer's request, the entire team, including the youth team, must provide a complete set of physical data, in addition to the general data such as accurate height, weight, blood pressure, heartbeat frequency, and a series of unheard of Physical data, such as what bone density, muscle elasticity index, etc.

According to Fryer, this set of data will take at least half a season from collection to completion.

Of course, this is only because the laboratory is still in the running-in phase. Once you are familiar with these processes, future tests will be faster and more accurate.

In addition to the players going to the laboratory for a variety of tests every day, Fryer also deployed more than a dozen high-precision cameras in the training field. These cameras will be directly connected to the laboratory's computer. It is convenient for laboratory personnel to observe the players on the training field at any time.

In addition, players on the training field will be stopped at any time and undergo laboratory testing. This brings a lot of trouble to the team's early training. First of all, many players are cumbersome and complicated without knowing this. Tests that have no effect indicate boredom.

However, due to the strict rules of the club, the players ultimately chose to cooperate.

On July 9th, Juninho, who had obtained a tourist visa, successfully arrived in Manchester. He followed Xiao Yu's arrangements. When he entered the country, he only said that he wanted to travel and prepared a set of travel rhetoric. Already.

As the club has prepared residences for all foreign players, as soon as Juninho Jr arrived in Manchester, he was immediately received at the Newton Heath training base. First he met Xiao Yu and head coach Bruce and others at the club office. Walsh took to the Royal Hospital for a series of perfect physical examinations, and this set of examinations was naturally supervised by Professor Fryer and others.

After the inspection, Walsh personally took Junior Juninho to the club to prepare several rental apartments for him. Finally, Junior Juninho chose one of the houses and moved in the same day. .

In addition to the house, the club also hired several teachers for these foreign players, some teaching oral English and some teaching them some English daily customs and living habits.

In order to deal with these things, the club has set up an independent human resources department. Walsh is the head of this department. At the same time, this department has recruited three female fans who have experience in the human resources department of large companies. As soon as I entered the club, I started immediately, so despite the introduction of multiple foreign players this year, all things seemed so organized.

As he walked around the earth with Xiao Yu and returned to Italy to pick up his family after returning to Manchester, the old De Rossi family arrived in Manchester at the latest. They chose an apartment near the Newton Heath training base. And the old De Rossi's wife also successfully found a job in a nearby factory.

In a period of busyness, New Manchester United until July 20, all the signings are all here.

Among them, the club held three warm-up matches on the 12th, 14th and 17th. The opponents were all low-level teams near Manchester. Although the main force was incomplete, New Manchester United still showed more than one level of opponents. The opponents were defeated with scores of 6: 0, 3: 0 and 4: 0.

Jonathan Matten has played the main center in all three warm-up games, and all of them have played the entire court, but the performance was average. In the three games, only one goal and one assist were scored. Instead, it was the performance of substitute center Nikki. It was very good. The hat-trick was performed in the first warm-up match, and the second match was also twice as if there was no need to run in.

For the sake of familiarity, New Manchester United still used the main lineup of last season in most of these three warm-up matches, but Jonathan McTen's partner was replaced by Crouch, and the left and right wingbacks are still Rich Willens and Darren Lyons, the center-back partner was replaced by Junior Juninho and Carl Markinson.

From left to right, the four defenders are Patrice Evra, Eric Abidal, Gareth Turner and Kevin Evan. The goalkeeper is Amunia.

After three trials of warm-up matches, Jonathan Matten's performance was not ideal, but Rikkić did an excellent job. Even though the substitute Olich failed to score, his performance was impressive.

The left combination of Richie Velence and Evra is still the birthplace of New Manchester United's offense. The entire left corridor is almost invincible, especially the two players are the kind of players with extraordinary speed, plus the former The field is full of headers, making New Manchester United's left-handed offense play well.

Unlike the left, the combination of Darren Lyons and Kevin Evan on the right is more balanced. Both players have both offense and defense. This makes the right not prominent in the offense, but Lai Once's cross and long diagonal skills are still available, which can be seen from his four assists in three warm-up games.

As a lower back, Karl Marginson is still diligent and diligent, and behaves quite well. Instead, Juninho, who joined the Brazilian national aura, failed to show his ability as a Brazilian international, and did not have Xiao Yu's previous life. The frightening direct free kick in the memory.

As for the central defender combination, Abidal and Gareth Turner have complementary characteristics. The former is physically strong, fast, explosive, and steals and staring at him are good things, but he lacks a sense of position, but the latter is relatively stable. With a strong sense of position and first-class header technology, all this central defender needs is a tacit understanding of cooperation.

However, although the three warm-up matches are all big wins, but because the opponents are all Northwest District amateur league teams, the gold content is naturally not high. It is not the same day as the national league that New Manchester United will play this season. Bruce noticed this during the warm-up game.

In the afternoon of July 21, New Manchester United challenged Rochdale to the English Premier League. This is an old English Premier League team. Since relegation from the English Premier League in 1974, they have been fighting with the English Premier League for the past 25 years. Not promoted or demoted.

Such a team is obviously the best touchstone for New Manchester United's inspection lineup! 2k novel reading network
