Red Rebels

Before Xiao Yu left England, he had called to inform Curtis's parents, reassuring them that his son was fine in Manchester, and during Xiao Yu's departure, Curtis's parents had also He called again and asked Curtis to return to London immediately.

But Curtis was never ready to go back, so he was wasting his time.

Until now, more than half a month has passed before Curtis' father took time out of his busy schedule to rush to Manchester.

As a mixed race, Curtis's father is an African immigrant, and his mother is British. The former works in a logistics company and is very busy, while the latter is a housewife, just like ordinary low-income British families.

Out of consideration, Xiao Yu arranged this meeting at a Chinese restaurant on the outskirts of Faulkner Avenue.

The four of them sat down facing each other. Curtis's parents sat side by side across from each other. Their eyes were fixed on Curtis from the beginning to the end. The latter looked like a child who had done something wrong. He lowered his head and dared not look at him. people.

Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became very stiff.

"Hehe, I once heard Curtis mention that your family likes to eat Chinese food. The Chinese food here is very famous. You can try it and see how it compares to London." Xiao Yu broke the silence with a smile.

Davis withdrew his gaze, turned to Xiao Yu, nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Xiao Yu, he must have caused you a lot of trouble during this period of time, please forgive our negligence!"

"It's nothing, he likes to play football, so basically he doesn't go out, just stay in the training ground."

After hearing this, Davis took a deep look at Curtis and sighed, "It's all my fault. I'm busy with work, otherwise I should have rushed over to take him back."

"I don't want to go back!" Curtis suddenly raised his head and said stubbornly.

"Are you kidding me? If you don't go back, do you intend to stay here forever?"

"Yeah, Curtis, good boy, come back with us. You can play football when you go back to London. There are more kids in Luton who like to play football. You can play with them." Davis The wife also advised.

"No, I'm not going to Luton, I want to stay at New Manchester United!" Curtis was still stubborn.

"New Manchester United is just a newly established amateur club. Luton is a regular professional club. No matter how many people want to go in for training..." Davis is also impatient, and he speaks out loud when he gets angry, without thinking about Xiao Yu's embarrassed expression was only realized after Mrs. Davis bumped him a few times secretly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao Yu, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean that, really!" Davis, who understood, kept apologizing. The weather was so hot that he was sweating profusely.

"It's okay, you are right. We are indeed a newly established club, but we are not amateurs. We have signed several full-time contracts, but the salary is definitely not as high as that of Luton."

After hearing this, Davis was even more at a loss and wanted to explain, but he was afraid that the description would become darker, and finally sighed again.

"Frankly speaking, Mr. Xiao Yu, I am also a Manchester United fan. I support your move 100%, but I only have one son, Curtis. They all say that he is very talented in football. A family like ours lives It was not easy, and there was nothing for Curtis at all, but fortunately, he also lived up to expectations and was appreciated by the Luton Club."

Having said that, Davis, like all fathers who are proud of their son's achievements, smiled proudly.

"Although there is no salary as an apprentice of the youth team, Luton is responsible for the expenses of study, training and living. This is a great help for families like ours, and Luton is a long-established old club. , Although after being relegated from the Premier League in 1992, he was relegated to the second division in 1996, but as a professional club, Luton, who is determined to return to the Premier League, can provide Curtis with a better development environment.

"

What Davis said made Xiao Yu unable to refute.

In his memory, Luton has never returned to the Premier League since he was relegated. Instead, he sat in the elevator in the League One, which was later the Championship, League Two, League C, and even the National League. .

But in any case, as a veteran club, Luton must be more convincing in the English football circle than the new Manchester United.

"You are right, Mr. Davis, I do not deny that for the time being, we are much inferior to Luton. Whether it is in terms of staffing or club conditions, we are at a disadvantage in all aspects, but what we can give The condition is also what Luton does not have, that is, we can give Curtis more opportunities."

As soon as Xiao Yu paused, the excited Curtis snatched it up and continued.

"Yeah dad, you know? I'm in the new Manchester United internal training and you know who we're up against? Giggs, Ryan Giggs, Roy Keane , they come to train with us every day now, you can't believe I can play against them."

Speaking of this, Curtis had a look of disbelief on his face, as if he remembered the scene of competing with Giggs and Keane, and was very fascinated by it.

"You don't know, I can't believe it in my dreams, I will be able to play with them one day, Roy and Ryan often remind me, oh, and Steve Bruce, the greatest legend in the history of Manchester United The central defender, he is my partner now, he lectures me all day, but from them, I can really learn a lot of things."

"Dad, this is a different club, I like it here, I like Xiao Yu, even though he is always suspicious of me, I adore Steve, he is so good, he is almost a perfect The centre-backs, I also like all the people here, they are very enthusiastic, not like the cold training camp at Luton."

Obviously, Curtis certainly didn't talk much before, so when they saw him making such a long speech, Davis and his wife stared at him dumbfounded. They might even be worried whether Xiao Yu was eating for Curtis. What Ecstasy?

However, Curtis talked about several big-name stars of Manchester United in such a familiar way, which made Davis a little skeptical.

Isn't the new Manchester United a traitor to Manchester United?

"Steve Bruce has agreed to take over as the head coach of our team. Ryan has just returned from vacation and played training games at our club to recover. Roy is recovering from a serious injury, but they all support our club!"

Davis finally understood, but he was still surprised. He didn't expect Xiao Yu to recruit Steve Bruce as the head coach, and Keane and Giggs also supported Xiao Yu in this way. This is really a big surprise for David. As expected.

"Mr. Davis, in fact, I think that a player with potential does not necessarily have to go to a professional training camp to receive training before he can become a talent. With a role model like Steve Bruce, who teaches hand in hand, this is a great way for Curtis The help is even greater, and although our new Manchester United is only playing in the Northwest Division 2, I am confident that we will be promoted to the National League within five years. By then, Curtis is only 18 years old, and he can get enough exercise Chance."

Seeing that Mr. Davis still hesitated, Xiao Yu couldn't help but continue.

"If you don't believe me, I can make an agreement with you. After five years, if the new Manchester United cannot be promoted to the National League, and if there is a team with a higher level than us that is interested in Curtis, we are willing to let him go unconditionally." Man, not even a penny of the transfer fee!"

Xiao Yu had already talked about this point, and it seemed that Curtis was really determined to stay in Manchester, and Davis and his wife had no choice but to accept this.

"But, you don't seem to have a youth training camp!" Davis asked another doubt.

Xiao Yu also felt very troubled about this. The youth training camp is not just established. It needs time, money, and people. For the current new Manchester United, why should they attract young players and coaches?

"For the time being, we will consider letting Curtis train with the team. Of course, we will take care of his age and arrange his training content reasonably. In this regard, Bruce is already working on it."

Davis and his wife are not familiar with the field of football, they are purely fans who like to watch football, so they don't know these things at all, but since Xiao Yu said it is possible and Curtis has no objection, it should be possible.

However, although it has been decided to let Curtis stay in Manchester, there are still many things to ask and care about, such as what will happen to Curtis's life, where will he go to school, and so on.

Xiao Yu tried his best to explain the club's arrangements for Curtis to the Davis couple in detail. After all, when the parents entrusted the child to him, they must take good care of it, so that the parents can rest assured.

Finally, after the Davis couple cleared up all the doubts and confirmed that their son would have no problems in Manchester, they began to warn Curtis instead, asking him to train hard in Manchester, study hard, and strive for what will happen in the future. How was it……

Sitting on the side, Xiao Yu was really moved and helpless, and felt sorry for the parents of the world, but sometimes, their concern was too wide. He was only 13 years old, and he even cared about whether he could have a girlfriend. went up.

Since Davis has to go to work early tomorrow morning, after the four of them had dinner, the couple would rush back to London overnight, while Xiao Yu took Curtis and sent them all the way out of Faulkner Street, onto the After getting a taxi, I turned back to George Street.

"Hey, you promise my dad to be promoted to the National League in five years, okay? Don't brag!" Curtis looked at Xiao Yu suspiciously. He always felt that Xiao Yu's promise didn't have much confidence, because In private, he has often heard players mention that money is the key to a club's success.

But Xiao Yu doesn't look like a rich man no matter what!

"Don't worry, after talking about five years, it must be five years. Maybe it's not necessary, but you, don't worry so much for me. The key is to work hard to improve yourself. That way, even if our new Manchester United can't get promoted, you can do the same in the future." To play at a big club, you know?"

Curtis pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but held back.
