Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

FC United has been the largest team in the amateur league since its inception in 2005 due to its significance and special background, but at the beginning of this year, another amateur team in Manchester made headlines in major British newspapers.

In March, Giggs, Scholes and the Neville brothers and Singaporean billionaire Lim Wing Fook bought Salford City, and FC United's Under-18 manager Nikki Smith. Butt was also persuaded by these old teammates to return to Manchester United and complete the acquisition with them, and Lu Wei was helpless about it, but fortunately John Terry. Cook stayed so as not to let FC United's fledgling youth system fall apart.

Of course, Lu Wei has not forgotten the acquisition of Salford City by members of Manchester United's Class of 92, but he is not capable of stopping it, and he does not intend to stop it, FC United also staged a trumpet "Manchester derby" with this team in the National Northern League two years ago, FC United doubled opponents in the league. In his view, the acquisition is a continuation of the feelings that Manchester United's Class of 92 have for Manchester United, Salford City's home stadium, Moreway Stadium, is less than a fifteen-minute drive from Old Trafford, and although they are no longer on the green, they do not want to let themselves leave football and Manchester United.

Lu Wei also often paid attention to the relevant information of Salford City in his previous life, they not only rose in the amateur league, but also obtained commercial sponsorship that FC United did not have, and also had the blessing of celebrity benefits, and began to complete three consecutive league jumps in the 17-18 season, successfully entering the League Two in 2019, with the goal of entering the Championship within fifteen years.

However, compared with the future goals of the Class of 92, the deeds created by the Red Rebels can be left far behind, from 2010 to now have completed three consecutive jumps, and there is no doubt about being promoted to the League One next season, with the existence of Lu Wei, the crosser, FC United's upgrade speed can be said to be unprecedented, and FC United is not like Salford City has a consortium acquisition, although backed by Lu Wei, a rich man, but Lu Wei has always insisted on the club's "de-commercialization" The bottom line has always been to financially support the team as a member of the club, and in addition to the cost of building the stadium, the club's other financial flows are very normal.

Then again, if FC United also gets acquired by the Class of '92, would the Reds' supporters and board be willing to do so? Lu Wei shook his head, FC United is a team that belongs to the fans, we have made friends, not millionaires, and Lu Wei's support from the board and fans is entirely because of his love for the team, not how much wealth he can bring to the club behind him.

"Andy, I think you already know about Salford City." Lu Wei and Andy. Walsh chatted in the club's president's office.

"I have known for a long time, this matter has already been rumored in Manchester at the beginning of the year, that is, you focus on the game and don't care about this, we old people have long heard about it, alas, very embarrassed."

"I know that we fans have a deep affection for Manchester United, and there are not many extreme fans like Johnson."

Andy was happy when he heard Johnson's name, "Indeed, he was the first to say 'Manchester United, I still want them to win, it's just, I'll never step into Old Trafford again,' and many people don't go to Old Trafford to watch football again, but most people also go there occasionally to support Manchester United." Alas, it seems like I haven't been there for a long time.

"I think a lot of people in our club haven't gone much, let alone the fans, but I still have Manchester United shirts at home, it's no secret, I went to Old Trafford to watch the game last year when Ferguson retired." Lu Wei smiled awkwardly.

Walsh gave Lu Wei a look angrily, "You have leisure, I don't worry about anything else, I'm afraid that our fans will give up the team and support Salford City, the new stadium will be built immediately, don't be when no one comes to watch the ball, such a big stadium is empty, the players are out of energy to play."

"Andy, don't forget the original intention of our FC United, we are a team that belongs to the fans, don't forget that the club already had 4,000 members in 05, how many there are this year, fifteen thousand, and there will be more next year, and Manchester United has never been our enemy, Salford City is not, not even Manchester City, but we are all in Manchester, what we pursue is not the competition between teams, it is the joy of football, It's a post-match victory, it's a toast with the fans, the fans want to see which team is their choice, all we have to do is not to let down the fans who have always supported us, I am responsible for the victory, you are responsible for managing everything up and down the club. Walsh

shook Lu Wei's hand gratefully and calmed his uneasy heart, yes, as long as the team develops well, why worry about losing fans, and the fans of the Red Rebels are the purest fans.

Back in the league, with two rounds remaining, Lu Wei is not at all nervous, and although FC United are only three points away from the first and fourth places, as long as they win all and Chesfield loses one game, it is still possible to reverse the title. On the contrary, as long as you overturn and lose one or even two games, you may fall to the fourth place, miss the direct promotion place and play in the play-offs.

The reason why Lu Wei is not nervous is that he has confidence in his players, and although he really wants to win the League Two championship, but he knows that it is not up to him now, Chesfield now has 28 goal difference, FC United only 24, although it is similar, but Chesfield's opponents are also desperate mid-table teams, they will not relax at this time, and FC United will fight with Bristol Rangers who are aiming for relegation in the final round. It is unlikely that the title can be reversed. Anyway, it's only the League Two, and Lu Wei, who has his eyes on the Premier League, is not very eager for this championship, just be promoted, so he didn't put too much pressure on the players.

With this mentality, FC United easily beat Torquay United 2-0, but Chesfield also won big, and the difference of 6 goals left FC United with only a theoretical possibility, but the good news is that Rochdale was forced to draw by ally Burleigh, FC United have locked in the top three in League Two in the early round and successfully promoted to League One next season.

Since the final round was away, after the match against Torquay United, the FC United team briefly celebrated the joy of promotion, and also held a retirement ceremony for the veteran Delap, who made his last appearance on the pitch as a player, and he will remain in the team as the team's coach next season.

While FC United were celebrating their promotion, the final round of the 13-14 League 2 season was about to begin on 3 May 2014.
