Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

While FC United fans were still enjoying the new home stadium and were reluctant to leave, the other semi-final of the "Friendship Cup" was also divided at Giger Lane Stadium, 30km away, Queens Park Rangers beat Queens Park 3-1 to win the "Queens Park" derby, and the team took a bus back to their hotel in Manchester to prepare for the "Friendship Cup" final the next afternoon.

FC United returned to the locker room in Lu Wei's punishment and intimidation, but the discussion of the new stadium continued, and Lu Wei saw that there was nothing he could do, and the freshness of the new stadium would probably not gradually adapt until the start of the league, and after a few words, he disbanded the team to let everyone go home early to rest.

The final of the next day's "Friendship Cup" attracted a large number of reporters, although the construction of the new stadium was announced on the official website of FC United a year ago, but the media did not pay much attention to this ten-year club that was still in the League Two, only Manchester local media and another media controlled by the Luciyuan consortium reported on the matter, and yesterday when the true face of the red stadium was revealed, it completely shocked the English football world. People never expected that a club founded by fans would have such strong power and assets, and Lu Wei's career and coaching history were gradually dug up by the media.

There are many team owners with a net worth of hundreds of millions, and there are several players with a net worth of hundreds of millions, but the head coach of the team with a net worth of hundreds of millions is a big girl on the sedan - the first groove, FC United is also shocked by Lu Wei's identity, originally Lu Wei was very low-key did not tell everyone his background, only Chairman Andy. Walsh and several other key leaders knew the source of the team's funding, and for a while one question after another was thrown at Lu Wei by the media.

"Mr. Lu, are you serious about the job of head coach? Would you buy FC United to replace Mr Walsh as the team's chairman?

When Lu Wei appeared on the Red Stadium, a reporter asked. Lu Wei glanced at the local media that was not Manchester and replied:

"I will only say it on this issue, FC United will always belong to the fans' FC United, we will not be bought by anyone, I will not buy any club, as long as Andy does not fire me, I am willing to always sit in the FC United coach's dugout, I will only be the head coach of FC United, and I first became the head coach of FC United before making money in the United States." I rarely ask about this anymore and I will serve FC United wholeheartedly, where the manager is my only identity.

"Then Mr. Coach, if one day you fall into a property crisis, will it affect FC United's capital chain, or if you don't inject money into the club in the future, will FC United be greatly affected, then can we think that the future development of FC United is closely related to you personally?"

Lu Wei once again felt a headache for these media, and in his previous life, when he made a splash in the financial circle, there were also many media who took the trouble to ask some messy questions.

"As I said, FC United belongs to the fans, every shareholder and member of FC United is a senior fan who loves FC United, I am also a fan, I am also one of the participants in the beginning of the establishment of FC United, but after becoming a shareholder of the club, I went back to school to complete my studies, and after graduation, I was entrusted by Mr. Markkinson to be the head coach of the team, even if I did not become the head coach, I will do my best to help the team, about the financial problems of the club. This belongs to the financial department of the club, I don't understand, and this belongs to the privacy of the club, FC United did not rely on me to get to this point, it is the hard work and support of all FC United fans, all FC United players and staff to get to this day, even without me FC United will be promoted to the League One, will have its own stadium, and I announce today that next year we will be promoted to the Championship, goodbye, gentlemen journalists.

After leaving the promotion declaration, Lu Wei walked into the stadium to join the team, and his words also resonated with the fans, "That's right, we won't be bought by anyone, we Red Rebel fans will always support Lu Wei, he is our head coach!" "FC United's fan organization leader Michael . Johnson said.

The popularity of the red court and Lu Wei's topic occupied the headlines of English football on July 2, and the distant Chinese media also discovered that there was still a Chinese manager in the lower league of England, Chinese players all over the world, and the Chinese head coach who appeared in front of the majority of fans, Lu Wei is still the first, and even some media are planning to go to Manchester to do an exclusive interview with Lu Wei.

However, Lu Wei in the locker room of the red court does not know these things, he arranges the tactics of the "Friendship Cup" final against Queens Park Rangers in front of the tactical board in the locker room, the first "Friendship Cup" organized by FC United can not be dropped the chain to make jokes, the first "Friendship Cup" champion must be FC United.

Starting goalkeeper Pickford, the back position does not send the familiar four defenders, but Rahmani, Roberts and Tyrone stand in the back, the two wingbacks are Tavernir and Robertson, Zinchenko, Klukas and Holihaan sit in midfield, Michumakeda partners the striker, but Michu stands further as a shadow striker, and there is no traditional winger in the starting lineup.

Lu Wei also made a similar answer to the reporter in the face of the players' doubts, his identity is now only the head coach of the team, but these have little impact on the players, as long as they can win and make money, whether the head coach is poor or rich, these have nothing to do with the duties of the head coach, the players only care about whether the head coach will arrange himself to play and what to do after playing.

And this friendly match is a way to test Lu Wei's new tactics, the old Redknapp also just learned that Lu Wei turned out to be a rich manager, because of the kindness of his own apprentice Jermaine to do surgery, the old Redknapp is only for this game to train troops, returning to the Premier League Queens Park Rangers also need time to grind the lineup, it is worth mentioning Manchester United's legendary defender Leo. Rio Ferdinand had just joined Queens Park Rangers on a free agent and also appeared on the Red Course wearing the captain's armband, drawing cheers from the audience.

The result of this "Friendship Cup" was also satisfactory to both sides, FC United with two goals scored by Makeda and substitute Hogan, defeated the unyielding Queens Park Rangers, and lifted the "Friendship Cup" trophy for the first time at the Red Course, although this is only a small friendly trophy, but it means the beginning of a new chapter for FC United on the Red Course. A goal from Queens Park Rangers' new signing Vargas also satisfied the elder Redknapp to lead the team back to London, and the talk around Lu Wei and FC United has gradually quieted in the wave of the World Cup.
