Football King Bale
Chapter 112 Jersey and warm-up match
Monday, July 5, 2010.
After more than a month of vacation, Manchester United's first-team players returned to the Carrington training base on this day to start pre-season training.
However, players participating in the World Cup in South Africa can postpone their return to the team.
As a newly joined player, Bell did not participate in the World Cup in South Africa, so he will also go to the Carrington training base on this day.
Before that, he still needs to go through a series of medical examinations and participate in a welcome ceremony held by Manchester United Club for him.
This welcome ceremony is different from the large-scale welcome ceremony held by Real Madrid, Barcelona and other clubs to welcome superstars to join. It is not a meeting with tens of thousands of Manchester United fans at Old Trafford, but a situation similar to a press conference. The Manchester United club will invite a lot of media to the scene. Bell will show his new jersey on the spot and answer questions from some reporters.
To be honest, compared to the appearance in front of tens of thousands of fans at the Bernabeu, this kind of welcome ceremony is really too low. However, Manchester United and even the entire Premier League do not have such a tradition, and Bell can only do as the Romans do.
Speaking of the number of jerseys Bell should wear after joining Manchester United, the management of Manchester United, including Ferguson, can be described as a headache.
Bell, who made his debut in Southampton, was only 16 years old, and the number 22 he wore was also whichever number was idle. Later joined Tottenham, the first to wear is 16. In White Hart Lane, Bell, who was found to have great potential, gradually occupied the main position. In order to pay tribute to his idol Ashley Cole, Bell chose to change to the No. 3 jersey. In the national team, Bell's jersey was not fixed at first, but after Giggs announced his withdrawal from the national team, his jersey was basically fixed at No. 11.
Now that he has moved to Manchester United, and he has transferred with the highest transfer value in team history, and with the team's highest salary, it is clear that he is going to be the core of the team, so this number must not be sloppy.
However, Manchester United's main numbers are basically famous and famous. The No. 3 jersey worn by Bell before was worn by Manchester United's main left-back Evra, and the No. 11 jersey was worn by the team legend Giggs. It is basically impossible for these two numbers to be transferred to Bell.
Unlike other teams, Manchester United's core number is the most legendary No. 7. Today, the No. 7 jersey is worn by the former golden boy Irving.
This is not from Manchester United's own family. He joined for free last year. Some Manchester United executives deliberately persuaded Owen to hand over the No. 7 jersey to Bell, but this proposal was rejected by Bell.
For Owen, Bell still respects him very much. Although he is no longer in his peak form and was only a substitute at Manchester United last season, Bell does not want to deprive him of his jersey number for his own reasons. After all, in any case, the news spread would be very bad for him.
It seems that there is no owner's Manchester United jersey number. The first 20 numbers are only 19, and the rest are after the 20th. Even the jerseys before the 30th have owners.
Since he doesn't plan to compete with Irving for Manchester United's core number, Bell will not compete with other players for those insignificant numbers.
After thinking about it for a while, he asked the club for a number that surprised everyone: No. 95!
Manchester United executives didn't understand why Bell wanted this number, but they didn't bother with it. Anyway, it must be Bell's temporary number at the club. When the opportunity is right, he will definitely switch to another main or core number.
For example, Rooney, who is in the process of transferring, once he actually transfers and leaves, the No. 10 jersey he is wearing will definitely fall on Bell.
Then there is Irving. When he joined last year, the club signed a two-year contract with him, and now half of it has passed. Over the past year, Owen's state has been getting worse and worse, and Manchester United does not intend to continue to renew his contract after the contract expires. Therefore, when Irving's contract expires next year and leaves the team, Manchester United's legendary No. 7 jersey will naturally fall to Bell.
However, some Manchester United fans in the East saw Bell's ambition after seeing Bell wearing the No. 95 jersey.
Nima, this is going to be the emperor of Manchester United!
………………
After attending the press conference, Bell went directly to the training base to meet the returning players.
In fact, most of the Manchester United teams are acquaintances with Bell, because everyone was an opponent in the Premier League before. The only one who is not familiar may be the Mexican striker Pea Hernandez who has just joined.
For Bell's joining of the Premier League Golden Boot last season, most Manchester United players welcome it. This is especially true for the Manchester United players who have returned to the team today.
Those who really don't welcome him are players who are worried that Bale will threaten their position in the Manchester United team, such as the team's top chubby Rooney, or the Portuguese winger Nani who claims to be Ronaldo's successor.
However, because of their participation in the World Cup in South Africa, these two are still on vacation and have not returned to the team.
Even Rooney is still arguing about the transfer, and the relationship with the team is a bit stiff.
Manchester United's pre-season training is only a short week in China, and then they will go to North America on the other side of the ocean to play a series of warm-up matches.
There will be five games throughout the warm-up match, which will be Toronto FC on July 16 against the Major League Soccer team. Although the team is a Major League Soccer team, it is a Canadian team located in Canada. Toronto in the southeast; on the 21st, it played against Philadelphia United, which is also a Major League Soccer team. On the 25th, it played against the Kansas City Athletics team, which is still a Major League Soccer team.
On the 28th, Manchester United's opponent was finally not a Major League Soccer team, but an amateur team called the Houston All-Stars.
Then, they will go south to Mexico. On the 30th, they will go south to Mexico to play a friendly match with Guadalajara, the runner-up of the Mexican League and the home team of the team's new aid Xiaopea.
The entire warm-up series basically went south along the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean.
………………
Because the opponents selected in the warm-up match are not strong teams, and there are not many rookies in the Manchester United team, so it can be said that they won without bloodshed.
This summer, Manchester United only introduced three players, one is the central defender Smalling, who was confirmed to be introduced just after the winter window, and the other is the top scorer of the Mexican League, Pea Hernandez, who was confirmed to be introduced in April , the last one is of course Bell.
In addition, the team also cleaned up some redundant personnel, sold Serbian winger Zoran Tosic to Russia's CSKA Moscow for 9.5 million euros, and sold the team's substitute goalkeeper Foster for 6 million pounds Birmingham City, and then send the former youth talent Craig Cathcart to the Premier League newly promoted Blackpool, the price is 500,000 pounds.
In addition, Manchester United also allowed Heaton, Gray, Possebon and other players to leave on free transfers.
In general, Manchester United's lineup has changed very little this summer, and they have only strengthened in very few positions.
Last season, although Manchester United lost all four players, their results were not too bad. In the league, they are only three points lower than the champion Tottenham; in the Champions League, they also reached the quarter-finals, but lost to the southern king Bayern. As for the League Cup and the FA Cup, almost all Ferguson voluntarily gave up.
However, these three signings are very targeted. The introduction of Smalling has strengthened the central defender and is also a preparation for the future. Although the combination of Ferdinand and Vidic is strong, they are not young. Ferdinand is about to turn 32, and Vidic is almost 29. The other O'Shea is a few months older than Vidic.
In Ferguson's plan, Manchester United's future central defender combination will be Smalling and Evans.
In terms of midfield, Ferguson introduced Bell as the team's new Ronaldo. He will be the core of the team for the next ten years.
On the forward line, the main double forwards of the 442 formation will be Berbatov and Rooney, but Owen's substitute is obviously not enough. On the one hand, Owen is no longer in his peak state, and on the other hand, he is not young anymore. The introduction of Little Pea Hernandez is an excellent supplement.
What made Ferguson a little annoyed was that Rooney was a little messed up, and he couldn't get a guarantee because of his core position, as if he was determined to transfer and leave.
To be honest, Ferguson didn't want the talented English striker he had paid a huge price to leave. Although this kid's potential has been exhausted, his current strength is still very strong. He is definitely the top center forward in today's football.
In addition, he is the top card of the England national team. As England's No. 1 giant, if England's face figures are allowed to leave, it will have a very bad impact.
Therefore, Ferguson does not want the little fat man to leave, and he intends to try his best to persuade him to stay.
………………
In the entire series of warm-up matches, Bell got the chance to play, which can be regarded as allowing him to get more familiar with the team and cultivate a tacit understanding.
However, Bell's performance can only be said to be quite satisfactory, contributing a total of 4 goals and 3 assists in five games. There is not a small gap between this statistic and his performance at Tottenham last season.
You know, this kid has averaged more than one goal per game in the Premier League!
Ferguson believes that this may be because Bell has just joined the team and the tacit understanding with his teammates is not enough, which caused his performance to be not as amazing as before at Tottenham.
Of course, it may also be that the opponent is too weak to arouse this kid's desire to fight. Because after his observations, he found that Bell is the type who gets stronger when he encounters a strong one. In a game, the stronger the opponent, or the more important the game is, the better his performance will be.
However, the old man didn't know that, in fact, the real reason was that Bell's cheating hadn't been activated yet, and his strength wasn't top-notch.
