Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

On May 11, the final round of the 13-14 Premier League season, Lu Wei did not pay attention to Manchester United's matches, because Manchester United had missed the top seven in the previous round, missed European competition for the first time since the establishment of the Premier League, and the first year of the post-Ferguson era was bleak. Lu Wei came to the Bright Stadium to watch the match between Sunderland and Swansea, and for a while in order to finish John . Egan's transfer and Pickford's loan extension are for a Spanish player who has played at the level of the Ballon d'Or.

When Lu Wei found Mi Chu in the stands, Swansea were already two goals ahead of Sunderland, but Lu Wei could not see any joy on the Spanish striker's face, because this season Mi Chu missed nearly three months of Swansea's first half of the season due to a knee injury, and when he returned from injury, the club team had just sacked Danish legend Laudrup and replaced him by team captain Gary. Monk, Gary who plays central defender. Monk is a traditional English player with a tough style, while the skilled Spaniard is completely out of his game plan, and the Swansea hero a year ago lost his chance to play in the greens after only half a year.

When Lu Wei threw an olive branch to Mi Chu, Mi Chu did not show a disdainful expression, but politely refused that Lu Wei would not play in the League One, and Lu Wei was not surprised, but invited him to have dinner together after the game, and Mi Chu hesitated and agreed.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Michu came to the Sunderland Grange Restaurant as promised, and the two briefly ate some barbecue in the private room and got to the point.

"Miguel, I can call you that, we FC United want to bring you in is not a joke, our team needs you as a talented and skilled striker, although we have just been promoted from League Two, our goal is by no means in League One, the Premier League is our goal, you know that we have completed four consecutive jumps, the strength of the players in the team is also higher than the level of League One, but we don't have an attacking core, Sadio. Mane doesn't know you've heard of it? He's the star of our team and he's moving to Southampton because they promised Mane a position and a good salary, and I can promise you here that you can come here and not only get a salary that matches the level of the Premier League, as long as you are healthy and fit the standard of the game, you are our main core. Michu

has only been playing in England for two years, knows little about FC United, and was surprised by Lu Wei's achievements after learning about the history of FC United, but still refused Lu Wei's invitation.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Coach, playing in League One is not in my career plan."

Lu Wei was also not in a hurry, "Miguel, with all due respect, you think Gary. Can Munch put you down in Swansea's tactical system? Laudrup is gone, do you remember when your last goal was? That was 7 months ago, Swansea now has no place for you, I heard that Benitez wants to take you to Naples, but I want to remind you that although Benitez is your hometown, but it is Italy, and Naples already has Higuain, Zapata, Insigne, Mertens, Callejon and Pandorf, there is no shortage of people in the striker, and their organizational core is Hamsik, you still can't play there, and the Italian style of football I think you also know, You know better than I do when Mendieta went to Lazio, I hope you think carefully about going to Napoli, I'm not trying to stop you from going to other teams as a manager, I'm just a fan and want to see you play for a few more years, I want to see you become the same Miguel you were a year ago. Perez. Cuesta, and you now not only need to play, but also need to protect your knees, we have one of the best medical laboratories in England in Newton Heath, not inferior to the Milan laboratory, don't be surprised, our club is not short of money, the club has hired several sports medicine experts from the United States to be responsible for the physical health of our team players, they will give you a good diagnosis and maintenance plan for your knee, I let people see your game video, they feel that your knee is not fully recovered, There is still a risk of injury, and your knees are usually still a little painful.

Mi Chu was surprised, his injury should only be understood by Swansea's team doctor and his own agent, but he didn't expect Lu Wei to pay so much attention to himself, "That's right, since I can see it, I won't hide it from you, my knee does still hurt a little, but it doesn't affect my play, is your medical laboratory really so advanced?" Just by looking at the video of the game, you can see that I still have a problem with my knee.

Lu Wei thought to himself, "Because I paid attention to you very early, as early as when you were in Celta I was your fan, your technical style is completely the type I like, so when watching your game video, I feel that your state is not quite right, so I asked our kinematics experts to take a look, they think it may be a knee problem, if you are interested, you can come to our laboratory to check it for you, of course, even if you don't join our team, it doesn't matter, This time it was purely an invitation from fans and friends. Michu

is moved, his body he knows best, the pain in his knee from time to time is the biggest problem affecting his play, Michu has learned from the agent that Benitez does have the idea of bringing him in, but it's just a rumor, and what if you play in Italy for a year and then you are like Mendieta, there is no news that other teams want to be themselves, Michu is just 28 years old, returning to Oviedo to play in the amateur league so early is not much different from retiring, FC United's medical laboratory did give Michu a second option at this time.

Everything that should be said has been said, the rest depends on how Mi Chu decides, but Lu Wei's invitation to go to FC United's medical laboratory is sincere, whether Mi Chuga joins FC United or not, Lu Wei will arrange for him the best doctor to examine his knee, not only Lu Wei hopes that Mi Chu can join FC United, but also because of Lu Wei's respect for the winged swan and respect for football.

After a few brief small talks, Lu Wei left Mi Chu his contact information and checked out and left the restaurant, leaving Mi Chu alone in meditation, and Mi Chu sat in the restaurant for more than ten minutes before picking up his mobile phone and making a call to his agent before leaving Sunderland.

Knowing what happened after Michu was loaned to Napoli, Lu Wei certainly did not want Michu to become a blip in the history of football, playing a total of 6 games in Napoli because of another knee injury in one year, and was released by the club shortly after returning to Swansea, and treated the team's former heroes without mercy, and Michu, who had nowhere to go, returned to his hometown team Oviedo in 16 years and retired after playing for more than a year. Many people forget that the elegant swan once played at the level of World Footballer of the Year in one season, and when he reappeared in the public eye, it was because he was an icon of football supernova.
