Red Rebels

The Grandoli neighborhood is located on the outskirts of Rosario, and the residents here are basically poorer families.

Jorge stumbled into the yard of his house. Leo Messi was bouncing the ball against the wall in the corner of the yard. He would repeat some basic exercises every day, while his two older brothers were sitting in the yard. Chasing a ball on one side.

Compared with Leo's outstanding talents, his two older brothers are much inferior.

"I'm back, it's so early today!" His wife Celia was cooking in the house.

"Well, I'm free today, so I'll be back early!" Jorge sat down on a stone in front of the yard, watching Messi play, every time he watched, he could feel Messi's The game is improving.

Although, both his wife and mother said, it was his psychology at work.

"It's good to come back early, so that you don't have to be so busy every day, and you can have a meal with the family tonight." Jorge's mother said happily while collecting clothes in the yard.

The requirements of the elderly are always very simple, not too many, as long as the family can get together to eat every meal every day, that is happiness.

"Mom, let me help you!" Jorge stood up to help.

"No, no, I'll do it, you've been tired all day, take a break, you can eat!" The old man refused with a smile.

It didn't take long for the aroma of the food to overflow from the house. His wife's cooking skills have always been so good that Jorge will not get bored no matter how much he eats.

"Boys, wash your hands, it's time to eat!" Jorge yelled like all fathers who tell their children to eat.

Messi's two brothers cheered, immediately dropped the ball and ran to wash their hands.

"Leo, stop playing and eat first!" Jorge urged again.

"Okay, Dad!" Seeing his father staring at him sternly, Messi could only reluctantly abandon the football and follow his brother to wash his hands.

Jorge is always very busy on weekdays, and he comes back very late at night. Basically, the family has finished eating, and sometimes the children are asleep. It is rare for the family to eat together today, and they seem very happy.

"Dad, after dinner tonight, let's watch the World Cup!"

This proposal was immediately supported by the whole family!

The child couldn't sit still, the three boys ate some hastily, and then started running to fight for the TV.

Due to the time difference, the first game of the French World Cup in the afternoon started just after dinner in Argentina, so the three children sat directly in front of the TV and waited, all of them with excited expressions on their faces.

Seeing the children happy, Jorge also felt relieved, but he soon thought of Xiao Yu.

"The owner of an English football club came to Rosario today." Jorge said while eating.

"Well, have you taken a fancy to any star of Newell's Old Boys?" Celia asked casually, all her attention was on eating.

"He said he was willing to bear all of Leo's medical expenses, and offered us a job to help our family move to Manchester, England," Jorge said.

Celia stopped eating, raised her head and stared at her husband with a look of disbelief.

"Could it be a liar?" The old mother asked flatly, "You know, the economy is not good now, and anyone will have it."

"Yeah, Jorge, don't trust people too easily!" Celia reacted and supported the old man's opinion.

Jorge recalled Xiao Yu's face in his mind, "Probably not, he said it very sincerely, and we can investigate. After all, in the UK, a club run by a Chinese should be easy to find."

Celia nodded, she felt that what her husband said made sense.

"Then does he have any other conditions?" The old man obviously believed his son's words.

"Well, he wants Messi to play for their club in Manchester.

"

"Manchester's team, is it Manchester United?" Celia's first reaction was the English giants.

Jorge shook his head, "No, it's called New Manchester United. It's a new club established independently by Manchester United fans who refused to buy it. I asked someone this afternoon, and it's true."

"So, is it true?" The old man also became happy.

Jorge nodded, obviously he had a good impression of Xiao Yu.

"But no matter what, it's better to find out." The old man reminded again.

"Yes, I will ask someone tomorrow, and I will call the UK to find out about the situation." Jorge said happily.

Both the old man and Celia also looked very happy.

"If the situation is true, then going to England to play football is not a bad thing, at least it is a way out, isn't it?" Celia expressed her opinion.

For a long time, Messi's medical expenses have been the big rock that their whole family bet on. Now someone is helping them and providing them with jobs. This is definitely a timely help. How can they not be grateful?

So, after getting the consent of his mother and wife, Jorge did not deliver the goods the next day. He went directly to downtown Rosario, found friends through connections, and tried every means to learn more about the new Manchester United. The situation of the club.

The feedback came back to Jorge a little surprised. This club was indeed just established this year. It is a semi-professional club in the lowest league in England, but it is well-known in Europe because this club is a Manchester United fan who wanted to resist. A club established by Murdoch's acquisition of Manchester United, nicknamed the Red Rebels.

Although the new Manchester United is a new club, it is true in the end, and Xiao Yu has never concealed any club situation from Jorge before, so this can't help but make Jorge trust Xiao Yu a little more.

After finding out about the situation of the new Manchester United, Jorge made a special call to England to inquire about some relevant parties, and the answers he got were exactly the same as what Xiao Yu said.

After several days of investigation, Jorge really couldn't find any evidence that Xiao Yu was lying, so he began to believe in Xiao Yu's words. The only worry he still had was whether Xiao Yu could fulfill his promise to treat Messi. !

For Jorge's concern, Xiao Yu felt that it was appropriate, so he decided to write this clause into the contract, and at the same time provide three free air tickets to Manchester, so that Jorge and his wife can take Messi, Go to Manchester with Xiao Yu to have a look.

Regarding what Xiao Yu did, Jorge really couldn't find anything to criticize. Finally, after the unanimous consent of his family, it was decided that Jorge would take Messi and Xiao Yu to Manchester first. If Bian really did what Xiao Yu said, then move the whole family there.

As for how to get there, Xiao Yu has already thought about it, and David Pace's clothing company will come forward to handle the formalities for Jorge's family to work in the UK.

Although the United Kingdom is very strict about labor certification in the field of football in order to protect its own players, it seems to be relatively loose outside of football, so Xiao Yu's idea was supported by David Pace.

After dealing with these matters, Xiao Yu, Jorge and his son got on the plane back to England.

…………

…………

Perhaps because of going abroad for the first time, Messi seemed particularly nervous all the way.

Sitting in the back row of the car, looking at the unfamiliar street scene outside the window, Messi tightly held his father's hand.

After all, he is only 11 years old and has left his hometown. It would be strange if he was not nervous.

"There are only two professional teams in this city, Manchester United and Manchester City. The former is a super giant, and the latter has just been relegated from League One this year. But soon, a third professional team will rise and become the city's flagship The new favorite, that is our new Manchester United!"

Xiao Yu looked out the window and said very ambitiously.

After a few days of contact, Jorge also knew that although Xiao Yu was young, he was a very ambitious person, so he also believed that the new Manchester United would not stay in the lower leagues for too long.

"Xiao Yu, is this a young player recently signed by the club?" Jim, who drove to pick up the plane, smiled and asked Xiao Yu who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Xiao Yu smiled and looked at Jorge, who didn't intend to refute, so he nodded and said: "Yes, his name is Leo Messi, you have to remember Jim, you'd better find him now Sign it, and then become his first fan, otherwise, I am afraid that in a few years, if you want to ask him for an autograph, you will not even be able to line up!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yu seemed to be afraid that Jim would not believe it, and added, "In a few years, he will become the Ryan Giggs of our club, oh no, a superstar even stronger than Giggs, he Will lead our club to a legend, just like what Maradona did in Naples!"

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, not only Jim, but also Jorge and his son felt flattered. Maradona's deeds are well known in Argentina. It is conceivable that Xiao Yu compared Messi with Maradona He valued Messi.

"Then I can't miss it, Xiao Yu, you must help me arrange for Messi to live in my house. When Evra came, that bastard Walsh just didn't give me face. Now you have to promise me, big deal I promise you, how about driving Messi to school and training every day?"

Jorge was a little surprised when he heard that, Xiao Yu had mentioned to him that Messi could live in the fans' home along the way, but he didn't expect the fans in Manchester to support the team so much and drive to pick him up?

In Argentina, this is the treatment that even the stars may not have!

"Since you've said that, it's fine, but you still have to be responsible for finding a school for Messi. Our club is responsible for his tuition fees. We can't let him give up his studies because of playing football!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Jim was overjoyed when he heard it, and started the car and stepped on the accelerator deeply, so that the three of Xiao Yu sitting in the car were frightened by his crazy behavior and broke out in a cold sweat.

But Jorge could tell that the taxi driver Jim was a very simple fan.

At this moment, he really felt happy that he had made the right choice.
