Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

Lu Wei and Spencer did not stop in Germany after dealing with Gnabry's contract problem, and flew back to England at ten o'clock in the evening, because FC United's work this summer has just begun, and there are still many things that Lu Wei needs to solve personally.

Lu Wei and Spencer got off the plane and went straight to the exit gate, a driver arranged by Lu Xiuyuan was already waiting at the airport exit, Lu Wei and the two did not have any luggage, just a briefcase and a backpack, and quickly left Gatwick Airport without delay.

Until two o'clock in the morning did not return to Manchester's home, Lu Wei did not have time to wash and directly lay down on the bed to make up for sleep, this sleep Lu Wei did not sleep steadily, did not set the phone ringtone He was woken up at eight o'clock in the morning, Lu Wei picked up the mobile phone in a daze and looked, it turned out to be Mark. Stone, Lu Wei thought to himself, has it only been two days since he found a suitable recruit?

"Hey, Mark, what's going on." Lu Wei answered the phone while yawning.

"What time is it, your manager is still sleeping, come to the club, I have found the back, and he can also play as a right-back, which is exactly what you want."

"Please, I just flew back from Germany in the early hours of last night, and I slept for less than three hours, and your efficiency is quite high, so I'll go over."

When Lu Wei arrived at the office with two dark circles, Mark . Stone had already brewed a cup of coffee and was waiting.

Lu Wei yawned and took the coffee, "Tell me who your fancy player is?" "

Northern Ireland national team vice-captain, Chris . Baird, excellent defensive ability, can play back and right back, left back can also make a cameo appearance, 33 years old, and West Bromwich Albion contract expired, has become a free agent looking for the next home, can accept to play substitute in the Championship, but requires a certain amount of playing time to maintain the game, salary requirements are not high. "Mark. Stone said and handed a piece of information to Lu Wei.

"Well, that's him, immediately let Blake contact him, the contract can be signed for two to three years, the salary standard is given according to the normal Championship main player, free agents we don't have to spend transfer fees, it doesn't matter if the salary is high, and this Baird is worth spending some money."

Chris. Baird, Lu Wei has a little impression of this player, the famous Southampton youth training, later switched to the Premier League Fulham became the core of the defense, is a backcourt panacea player, in 2012 began to gradually give up the main position due to age, but can still maintain full form when the team needs to play, has strength, experience, stable personality, can substitute, can maintain competitive condition, such a player is exactly what Lu Wei needs.

and Chris. Baird's signing went smoothly, only signing a three-year contract with a weekly salary of £1.2w, and the future can be freely chosen by Baird whether to renew the contract for another year, this salary is the first gear for a free Championship player, FC United found an experienced defender, Baird found an ambitious, strong and game-playing "retirement" team at the end of his career, this signing is undoubtedly a win-win situation.

So far, FC United's job this summer can be said to be temporarily over, the team is only missing a substitute goalkeeper, Lu Wei is still waiting for Lindegaard to change his mind, but Edward. Mendy is not prone to injury, and the peculiarity of the goalkeeper's position rarely rotates, so Lu Wei is not in a hurry to find a replacement goalkeeper.

Now what makes Lu Wei anxious is another thing, this summer is the tenth anniversary of FC United, although it is a bit shabby compared to those clubs that have long passed the centennial, but this is also a big event for the club, after all, the team that has risen from the tenth division of England to the Championship in ten years can not be completed by anyone.

Walsh began to prepare for this work as early as April when he was confirmed to be promoted to the Championship, originally Lu Wei did not want to participate in this, wanted to leave Manchester after the team was disbanded to go on vacation with his girlfriend Barbara, but Walsh just didn't let go, "You are the biggest contributor to the team to the Championship, how can this event be without you, you must be present, the fans are waiting for you, do you want to embarrass the fans?"

As soon as he said this, Lu Wei was speechless, and he spread his hand to Walsh and promised to be there, and Walsh stopped.

The main reason why Lu Wei did not want to participate in this event was because the event was on June 14, the team disbanded in early May and did not meet until July 9, this awkward time made the plan to take Barbara to China had to be put on hold, but Barbara has also been shooting fashion magazines all over Europe, and she can't find time to be with Lu Wei in a short time.

Lu Wei thought about the team, there is nothing he needs to do at present, the stadium expansion has begun, there is the club's commercial development department supervising, the players' contract renewal issues are handed over to Spencer and Chadwick, the club's capital chain is completely handed over to Lu Xiuyuan and Xing Yueming to hand over, the tenth anniversary celebration is hosted by Andy and Walsh, the players and coaching staff have gone on vacation, and there is really nothing Lu Wei for a while.

At this time, the Premier League was not over, Lu Wei looked at the schedule and found that tomorrow was Manchester United's home game against Arsenal, so he asked someone to buy a ticket to watch the game at Old Trafford, returned to the bedroom and rummaged through the cabinets to find a 04-05 Manchester United shirt to wear.

I seem to have forgotten that I'm a Manchester United fan, Lu Wei laughed at himself behind the mirror.

On this day, more than 75,000 fans at Old Trafford witnessed a famous scene, the game went to the 21st minute, Arsenal over the top of the long pass, Jones lost his center of gravity under Giroud forced to fall to the ground, seeing that Giroud will form a single knife goal due to his own mistakes, Jones risked being "headshot" to crawl a few steps on the ground after sticking out his head to fight to save the ball, Giroud can only smile helplessly and spread his hands.

The final result was a 1-1 draw between Manchester United and Arsenal, and in the 30th minute, Ashley Ashley. Young crossed from the left and an unguarded Herrera volleyed into the net, but in the 82nd minute of the second half, Walcott broke through and crossed, and the ball bounced into the goal at the foot of substitute Blackett.

Lu Wei also remembered that Jones' "desperate three lang" style solution was born in this game. After the game, the fans were playing against Phil. Jones climbed to solve the siege this time relish, Lu Wei stood in the fan group, listening to their discussion of Manchester United, listening to their complaining about Van Gaal, and finally remembered his original intention of watching the ball at that time, the slogan of "World Football" said well, the purest football, the highest level of enjoyment, Lu Wei is enjoying the most essential happiness of football at this time.
