Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

After getting off the plane, Lu Wei did not return to Manchester after saying goodbye to Barbara, there was still a week before the team assembly time, and he planned to stay in London for a while, Lu Wei called Lu Xiuyuan and his team to entertain the elites in a restaurant, and also discussed the future development direction.

Last year, under the promotion of Lu Wei and his team, Lu Xiuyuan went to Beijing to find Zhang Yiming, reached a cooperation agreement and provided funds and talents, and established Byte Dance in Beijing in advance, Douyin and Tik Tok will be in China and the world in the future, Lu Wei knows, I believe that Zhang Yiming, who got funds and high-end talents in advance, can develop Byte Dance better.

This week, Lu Wei returned to the days of working hard in the financial center in his previous life, but the conditions were many times better than at that time, and it was not until July 5 that Lu Wei broke out of the business circle and returned to Manchester to prepare for the new season. Construction has begun at Newton Heath and is expected to be completed by the end of '13, making this large area of vacant land the third world-class academy in Manchester in the future.

The application for professionalization of the team has also been approved, the contracts of all first-team players have been successfully upgraded to professional contracts, the team will assemble on July 9 except Mane, who will participate in the Olympics, and the coaching staff members have begun to prepare the training plan. The player changes of FC United in the new season are the least in three years, only 7 new signings, two in the backline, three in midfield, two in the striker, the core of the team has only gone one Vardy, and the strength on paper has only increased, which makes Lu Wei full of expectations for the new season, in his goal, this season is FC United's last season in the amateur league, and no more experience in the amateur league is allowed in the future.

On July 10, FC United began the warm-up game before the 12-13 season, the first game was still their friend Burleigh on the same court, Burleigh finished 14th in the first League One last season, the ranking is not up or down, without strong funds to back them is still fighting for relegation in the new season. However, Lu Wei knows that their good days are not many and will return to the second division next season.

This warm-up game FC United and Burleigh did not play their full strength, are looking for the rhythm of the game, the score is also 2:1, FC United beat Burleigh, by new signing Akinfinwa scored two goals in the box, Akinfenwa's body is too perverted, 1m8 height of 200 pounds of weight in the box a stop, move to squeeze out a space, both goals are scored in this way, Lu Wei can already think of what kind of bloody storm such a big killer will set off in the national league, Although Akin Finwa is far inferior to Vardy in his final achievements, the current Akin Finwa plays a higher role for FC United in the National League than Vardy.

There are still three warm-up games left before the start of the season, FC United beat Walkhorpe 2-0, lost 1-2 to Telford United, drew 1:1 with Stephenag, and won two pre-season games and drew one loss, and the team's training and fitness adjustments were carried out in an orderly manner. However, there is bad news for FC United, Mane's performance at the London Olympics can be described as mediocre, starting all three group stage and quarter-final games but without scoring goals and assists, completely losing his spirituality on the field, showing fear, if not for striker Konate scoring four goals in three group games, Senegal would have returned home without a harvest in the Olympics, and losing to eventual champion Mexico in the quarter-finals would have been considered an extraordinary performance.

Lu Wei also watched Mane's last Olympic game on the spot, in his previous life he did not pay attention to the Olympic competition, but knew that Brazil lost again in the Olympic final, so he did not expect Mane to perform a mess in the Olympic Games, if it were not for the shortage of Senegalese strikers, I am afraid that Mane would not even have the opportunity to play in the last two games.

When Mane saw Lu Wei standing in the corridor with tears, he lowered his head in shame, he did not expect that the manager would also see such a bad performance on the spot, more than once. "I'm sorry, head, for disappointing you."

Lu Wei looked at the sullen Mane, and remembered that he was not the smoky man in the future, and now he was just a young man in his early 20s. "You don't have to apologize to me, go and apologize to your Olympic coaches and teammates, and you don't have to worry too much, you've been on the Olympic stage without even playing a professional league, it's already remarkable, you look at who you're playing against. Dos Santos, a talented teenager from Barça's youth academy, has played 30 La Liga games for Barcelona, but in my eyes he is not as good as you, although you are only in the fifth division now, but his achievements end here, and you, I think you will be in the Premier League in the future, not to mention 30 appearances, scoring 30 goals will only be a matter of time for you, I believe you have this ability, but I need you to believe in yourself, Olympic football is just a game of competition for young people, and your stage will be in the Premier League, in the World Cup, where you should stand instead of frustrating yourself.

Mane, who was supported by Lu Wei, wiped his eyes and bowed to Lu Wei, "Thank you, I understand, I will no longer be upset about the game that has been lost, I will reflect on myself, the next game is more important."

"Well, if we want to upgrade this season, we have to rely on your attack on the left side, I don't want an Olympic game to destroy my left player, I'll give you a week off to rest and wait for you to come back and report for duty."

"Okay, head!"

Lu Wei looked at the back of Mane leaving and said: "National League, we are coming, no one can stop us from being promoted." "P.S
