Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

In October, the industrial city of Manchester also ushered in rare good weather, although the temperature is a little cool in the morning and evening, but it does not make people feel cold, and the clear sky during the day also makes the Newton Heath training base thriving.

FC United's training session is underway, Lu Wei is watching the training of the players, today's training session is mainly the triangle pass training, this triangle running position to catch and pass is the basic training course of professional players, in the game, the backfield of the foot and the midfield connection transition of the pass, most of the triangle running, and training is training, can you apply the results of training to the game is a player's key ability to excel.

Lu Wei asked the players to think and judge how to run and pass the ball according to the actual situation of the game. Lu Wei, who is familiar with the future development trend of football, knows that now like Barça and Spain, Tiki-Taka's dream playing style is gradually walking down the altar, simply pursuing passing space and ball control time is not enough, modern football not only emphasizes the intensity of no-ball running, but also more and more pursuit of running efficiency, especially efficient no-ball running, all running consciousness must be cultivated and exercised in a large number of training.

The cognition of the tactical system and the future football vision is the biggest evidence of Lu Wei as the head coach, Lu Wei constantly guides the players' running position on the sidelines, pointing out where they should run, where they should not run, how teammates should run there, how defensive players should run, a large number of passing training manuals were sent to the coaching team by Lu Wei, these trainings can not be completed by Lu Wei alone.

Although Lu Wei has passed the UEFA A level coaching qualification certificate this summer, he has never received professional football training, and he is not good at technical guidance, but the coaching team has many former professional players to be responsible for the technical training of players, led by Kieren who was recruited from Tottenham Hotspur youth team in the summer. McKenna, in addition to the technical coaching staff, includes former Manchester United player Andy Smith. Cole and Sheringham, they always coach the players in training properly.

When the players played in groups according to Lu Wei's arrangement, it was when Lu Wei was most active on the training ground.

"Jarrod, the frequency under your feet is faster, if you run a second earlier, you can grab that landing point."

"Matt, don't take a walk after the ball is passed, run forward, like the ball just now, if you run diagonally to the box, can't you make up the shot."

"Rico, if you go it alone, don't think about how to pass the goalkeeper, you should shoot when he comes out to block and take the first step, so that the scoring efficiency is high."

Voices like this will always appear on the training ground of Newton Heath, and the players of FC United are also learning from the experience under Lu Wei's guidance, and the Newton Heath training base is showing a vigorous appearance.

On 7 October, FC United hosted the Vanguard Cup Winners' Cup at home against Walsall, who finished 18th in League One, and both managers tacitly sent substitutes, Ivan. Tony entered the starting line-up for the first time, and in the opening 29th minute, Granmes shot from distance, but in the second half, Brandshaw's header still broke through the goal guarded by Edward and went into extra time, Tony almost killed the game twice, but unfortunately was saved by the goalkeeper, fortunately it was not affected in the penalty shootout, the second appearance he steadily scored the ball, and finally Walsall's fourth-round penalty was saved by Mendy, Peterson scored the fifth penalty and eliminated Walsall and advanced to the next round.

In the stands of this match, FC United also welcomed a guest, that is, Jermaine, who returned from ligament surgery in the United States. Jenas, Jenas stayed in the United States for follow-up treatment after undergoing ligament surgery in early July, and was not approved for discharge until last week, but under Lu Wei's arrangement, Dr. Ellertrix's assistant and two nurses accompanied Jenas and his family back to the United Kingdom, living in Newton Heath base, and the elder Redknapp also came to the medical laboratory to visit, and after reading the 30-page recovery plan, he was relieved to leave Jenas here for recovery and recuperation, where he will receive the best postoperative recovery.

Although he lives at Newton Heath base, Jenas did not go to see the training of FC United's various echelons, and he himself has a contract with Queens Park Rangers, so he still has to avoid suspicion. He will only greet FC United players when they meet them during non-training hours, and will sign autographs for young players, although only a substitute for the national team, but that is not inferior to David Beckham's face and all-round characteristics make him have many fans in England, and he will also give advice to Newton Heath fans in his spare time, and the most benefit should be Zidane, who is still in the U13. Ibakr up.

Although Zidane Jr. has just passed his 11th birthday, he has already crossed the U13 team, his father Mukhtar is in charge of the training of the echelon, Ibakr is much better than his peers in terms of technical level and ball awareness, and is the best member of FC United's young players in this age group.

It has been more than a year since the Newton Heath base was put into use, and although it has only really moved in this year, it has been running in an orderly manner from day one, except for the first team and youth team, the club's staff have also liked the young team, and most of the club's staff are FC United fans.

One of the most concerned is the event media department and the fan organization department, the event media department is the integration of all the team's game information and video, Steele has been responsible for the video editing and analysis of the first team since he came here, sometimes unique insights will bring Lu Wei a different perspective, up to ten people video finishing team is also the Newton Heath base overtime people.

As the name suggests, the fan organization department is responsible for the interaction between the team and the fans, this work seems simple, but it is the department that Walsh and Lu Wei attach the most importance to, they are responsible for managing the fan website forum, collecting fans' feedback on the team, distributing the organization and planning of club and fan activities, organizing community activities between players and fans, it can be said that it is the link between the team and the fans, so that all the Red Rebel members are united.

At a time when the atmosphere in the team is so united, the team's record must be, in addition to being unfortunately eliminated by Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup, FC United have played 15 unbeaten games in all competitions, including the FA Cup first round 4-0 bloodbath Northampton, the 1-0 revenge of Sheffield United in the eighth final of the Vanguard Cup Winners, and Lu Wei was also named the best coach in League One in October. Although Bristol City are still one point behind Bristol City in the league, Lowe is convinced that sooner or later FC United will be able to surpass them to occupy the top spot.
