Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

Early the next morning, Lu Wei took a train to Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, where one of the most famous city derbys is the long-established derby, Celtic and Glasgow Rangers two teams almost monopolized the Scottish top league championship, these two teams also provide the world with many well-known stars, such as Liverpool legend Dalglish was trained by Celtic.

However, the destination of Lu Wei's trip is not these two teams, but the only amateur team in the Scottish league system - Queens Park, although it is an amateur club, but the club's heritage is very deep, Queens Park Football Club was founded in 1867, is Scotland's oldest football club, and the world's oldest football club outside England and Wales.

Queens Park Football Club's home stadium is Hampton Park Stadium, one of UEFA's 29 five-star football stadiums, southeast of Glasgow, with a seating capacity of 52,500 spectators, almost inconceivable for any other amateur team in the world, and is also the home of the Scottish national team.

Queens Park Football Club "Kick for the Sake of Playing", from its establishment in 1867 to the present history of all players and coaches do not receive remuneration from football, which is difficult to achieve in modern society, in the long history of more than 100 years of modern football is also the only existence, although only an amateur club, but its significant contribution to the development of football has always been widely praised. In 2008 , it was nominated by the Scottish Football Federation for the highest award of honour for its contribution to football, although this nomination was supported by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, but FIFA did not approve the honor.

Back to the present, Lu Wei came to the office area of the Queens Park Club and met the president of the club, Mr. Alan Hutchison, in a chat, Lu Wei sighed deeply: "It is really shocking that the club can have such a cultural tradition, Scotland and the whole world will be proud of you."

Mr Hutcheson laughed: "We don't expect anything, we just want the players to enjoy football." You FC United are also respected by me, the team is proud of the fans, the fans are the foundation of the team, and I believe that you can also stand on the highest stage in the world to show yourself.

"It's not a secret that I'm here to buy a young player, and although we're an amateur team, I'm willing to give him a professional contract."

"Young players? The youth team, no problem, as long as you can move the player, he can go whenever he wants, you tell me the name and I will go to the youth coach. "

His name is Andrew. Robertson, a 17-year-old young man. "

He, I have the impression that he once scored four goals in a youth team game, but he played as if he was a full-back, you wait, I called the person in charge to bring his address."

Lu Wei came to Robertson's house after getting permission from Queens Park, and it was his mother who opened the door, and after learning that Robertson was not at home but working in a supermarket, he talked to Robertson's mother about the transfer, and Robertson's mother was also happy that there was a team willing to give her children a job, "Mr. Lu, I approve of him playing at your club, but Andrew is still in high school, and I hope he can leave Glasgow after high school." "

In high school, I can arrange for him to enter Manchester Secondary School, Manchester Secondary School has a long-term cooperation with us, the school will give him a holiday when there are games and training, and our training time will hardly delay the school curriculum, and when the game is over, the club will arrange for a tutor to make up for the lessons he has missed."

After solving the academic problems, Robertson's parents had nothing to worry about, leaving Lu Wei for dinner and waiting for Robertson to come home.

Towards the end of the evening, Robertson came home from work at Marks & Spencer and was surprised to find that there were guests at home who had dinner together, because there were few guests left to eat.

Lu Wei saw Robertson return, and took the lead to stand up and say hello: "Hello, Andrew, I am the head coach of the English team FC United, we would like to invite you to join our first team, I understand your situation, we are willing to give you a professional contract with a weekly salary of 200 pounds, and will arrange your accommodation and high school transfer, Manchester Middle School has a long-term cooperation with us, it will not affect your studies and games, we are now in the English National North League, next season I have 100%." The confidence can continue to upgrade, next year we will apply to the FA for professionalization after we go to the national league, when your salary will also be adjusted upward, as for how much salary you can get depends on your ability, and for you are still young and your body is not fully developed, I plan to tailor a diet and training plan for you to strengthen your physical fitness.

"Is it for me to join the first team instead of the youth team?"

"Yes, you will be in our first team squad and play in the first team, but it's up to you to get the starting spot."

"Okay, I'm willing to join FC United."

Lu Wei extended his hand to Robertson: "Welcome to join, I am glad that FC United will have your name in the legendary history." Seeing

that their son got a professional contract, Robertson's parents happily prepared a table of meals, although Lu Wei wanted to return to Manchester early, but still could not resist the enthusiasm of the Robertson family, at dinner Lu Wei also kept chatting with Robertson and his parents about home, learned that Robertson's parents also planned to arrange for him to become a physical education teacher if Robertson did not embark on the road of professional football, and the four laughed at the dinner table.

After drinking and eating, Lu Wei pulled Robertson on the sofa to chat about future plans.

"Andrew, I heard that you let the Celtics give up on you because your body is too thin, but don't be discouraged, you are just 17 years old now, there is still room for development, there are many training facilities in the team, although it is not comparable to the Premier League team, but compared with the Championship team, you can use it casually." The team hired several nutrition and kinesiology experts to go to the team to do a personal examination after the report, and asked them to develop a diet and training plan for you, and I believe you will have a physical quality that makes everyone jealous. Good fitness doesn't mean high and strong, I've watched you play and I think you're going to be a great left-back, where speed, endurance and balance are the most important thing, and you have talent in it, and you're going to be a 'run-by-dead' presence on the whole pitch.

Lu Wei's words planted a seed in Robertson's heart, although he still does not understand it, but when Robertson wakes up in the future, the future captain of Scotland will spread his wings.
