Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

"Sadio, don't turn your back to your teammates, turn sideways, sideways! Observe the position and movements of the opposing defender, do not stop after passing, and continue to run forward.

"Sam, after the ball is passed, it doesn't mean you're okay, run, run!" The opposing defender is taken away by the striker and you are empty, if Sadio passes you the ball you can shoot, even if you don't pass it, you have to run over and wait for the second attack and counter-attack. "

Andy, you're a full-back, not a winger, pay attention to the people behind you, I don't want to see you chase the opposing striker in the second half and then stop him and foul him in the box."

"Moore! What are you doing when you stop the ball for so long? Jordan's hands are almost at your feet, learn more about Scott, don't think so much when you get to the box, so good scoring opportunities are wasted by you. Remember, wait less in the box, when you stop the ball, the ball is in the goalkeeper's hands. "

FC United players can often hear Lu Wei's shouting on the side of the training ground when playing in groups, such a scene has only started this season, after entering the professional league, Lu Wei's requirements for himself and the players have become higher, this is just the second division, these guys still need to temper themselves, Lu Wei thought.

The players who were training saw the manager teaching them so seriously, and their foot movements became more determined.

On March 8, FC United faced the challenge of Newport County at home, Newport County ranked 11th in the league and was also working hard for a place in the promotion play-offs, when FC United players walked into the dressing room, everyone saw a piece of paper pasted at the door of the dressing room, and the paper said four big words: "Goal, upgrade!" Seeing these four words, everyone clenched their fists, and a flame began to burn in their eyes.

Lu Wei walked into the locker room after the players warmed up, looked at the players and said only one sentence, "You all see these four words, if you approve it, then go to the stadium and make it happen, the fans are waiting to cheer for your victory." "

Goalkeeper Pickford, defenders Lazari, Lahmani, Tyrone and Robertson, midfielders Draper, Grimes and Klucas, strikers Bowen, Mane and Moore, FC United's starters are energetic. After 90 minutes, the young players were cheered on by the fans as they wished, and a 5-1 victory swept away the gloom of February's troubles.

FC United, who returned full of blood, never gave the media a chance to belittle themselves, and a six-game winning streak not only returned to the top three, but also allowed Lu Wei to win the honor of the first coach of the month, although he did not escape the law of the best win of the month, but Hogan's header once again helped FC United to snatch a point from away.

On April 12, FC United, second in the league, will play Rochdale, fourth in the league, this match can be said to be an important node in the promotion situation in League Two, FC United will lock up the promotion play-off place four rounds in advance, and Rochdale will widen the gap with the top three to as many as 5 points; A draw is what leaders Chesfield would be most happy to see, and they will extend their lead even further, while if Rochdale wins against FC United, he will catch up with the top three and shake off the points gap with fifth, allowing the Straight Legion to officially change from a three-nation battle to a four-army battle.

The 0-0 score lasted until the 64th minute, when captain Roberts scored a free-kick from Klucas, and then led the back line to firmly defend the advantage until the end, FC United sealed the top seven four rounds early.

On April 18, facing Akrington, who vowed to be relegated, FC United could not attack for a long time, but Mane still played the role of a star, a flash of inspiration forced the Akrington player to foul in the box, and he personally took the penalty shoot, and then Hogan took advantage of Akrington's chaos to find a good opportunity, and the defender's return pass in front of the field was dunked by the goalkeeper to easily push the ball into the empty goal.

Three days later against Cheltenham, it was Mane and Hogan's wonderful performances that helped FC United win 3-1, with two rounds remaining, Chesfield 78 points ahead of FC United by 3 points in first place, followed by Sokensp United and Rochdale both 72 points, after the next round can even decide who is the League Two champion, Sokensp United and Rochdale also have theoretical hopes of winning the title. And the schedule is also beneficial to FC United, Torquay United and Bristol Rangers happen to be the bottom one or two of the league, Torquay United has been relegated ironclad in the game just now, facing such a mentality of the opponent FC United should not be a problem, the final round against the desperate relegation Bristol Rangers is a tough battle.

After the game, there was good news from Newton Heath, the construction of FC United's home stadium has entered the end, the main body of the stadium has been completed, only the seat installation and the interior decoration of the stadium can be put into use, and the shops around the stadium have also entered the investment link, these matters are handed over to Lu Wei from the University of North Carolina brought by Xing Yueming, the chief business officer, Xing Yueming was taken to Lu Xiuyuan's team by Lu Wei just after graduating from graduate school last year. Later, when Lu Wei chatted with him, he inadvertently talked about the development of the football market, Xing Yueming suddenly became interested, and talked endlessly, Lu Wei agreed with some of his views, and brought him to FC United to be in charge of commercial development.

However, FC United Manchester Club is after all based on opposing the Glazer family's acquisition of Manchester United, business development can not be too inclined to capital, everything must be football-based, Xing Yueming also has a lot of pressure, he does not know much about football, and in the United States this environment knows little about football.

Or Lu Wei pointed him in a direction, "Now is the new era of the Internet, there is an activity closely related to football, that is, the game industry, whether it is FIFA or live, and FM series has a large number of players around the world, if you can reach cooperation with these companies, sell games and activities around the stadium, it is good for the reputation development of the team." And the fan shop will also be opened, the first one will be located in the stadium, specializing in the sale of jerseys, sneakers and other peripherals. By the way, there is also the souvenir shop, we built the stadium in Newton Heath is of special significance, is a tribute to history, in this regard I will give you a few materials to refer to, as well as sports brands, catering, leisure and entertainment and some technology products, I think can be carried out near the stadium, in short, a principle, fan-oriented. Xing

Yue, who had an idea, remembered the key points and left, which is also what Lu Wei valued him, just need to mention the key points, Xing Yueming can clearly outline the overall planning process, the future Wall Street president has been firmly tied to Newton Heath.

Lu Wei has been stressing the importance of fan culture in English football clubs to staff who have joined the club for nearly two years, knowing that there is a team that is quietly sprouting on the other side of Manchester and is likely to take away a large number of FC United fans.
