Red Rebels

For German football, Xiao Yu has always been respectful. Although he doesn't like to watch the German team's games, this does not prevent him from admiring the fighting spirit and perseverance of the German team. combat players.

When he was in FM Football Manager, his favorite striker to buy was a player with excellent speed, preferably with excellent skills at the same time, so his eyes were more focused on Aguero, Messi, Ronaldo Waiting for someone's body.

But there was one person, Xiao Yu was very impressed with him.

Ivica Olic, a player who is still unknown now, but in the 2010 European Champions Cup, he staged a classic case of a dying savior and becoming famous with one goal.

In the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals, Bayern sat at home against the Red Devils Manchester United. Through their unremitting efforts and tenacity of never giving up, Olić scored a goal in the last second before the end of the game to help Bayern 2 : 1 lore Manchester United.

It was this priceless goal that made Olic known to fans all over the world, and then he scored another goal in the next second round of the game, and at the same time in the away game against Lyon in the semi-finals, Had a hat trick.

It can be said that in 2010, it was Olic's magical performance that helped Bayern reach the Champions League final.

Throughout the 09-10 season, Olic represented Bayern in the Bundesliga and scored 11 goals in 29 appearances, scored 7 goals in 10 appearances in the Champions League, and scored 1 goal in 2 appearances in the German Cup.

It's an amazing report card, especially for a zero-valued free agent.

Olić has never been an efficient shooter. Before playing for Bayern, he scored the most goals in the three seasons of 2001-03 in the Croatian League. He scored 54 goals in 84 games. After moving to Russia, he played more as a left winger, which also caused a sharp drop in his goals.

In fact, Xiao Yu is not interested in Olic because of his high efficiency, but because of his wind-like speed and his non-stop running for 90 minutes on the court. He is like a The perpetual motion machine, which is always fully charged, can never stop from the moment the whistle blows.

Maybe Olic's skills are not good, maybe his shooting skills are not good, and his efficiency is not high, but a player who is extremely fast and can run the whole court for 90 minutes, has the German player who will never give up , who wouldn't love it?

"Ivica Orci?" Bruce wondered, frowning. "Who?"

"A striker from Croatia, who performed well in the Croatian second division last season, was spotted by Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga and brought to Germany, but who knows, he still failed to play the game. Half a year later, Hertha Berlin treated him Lost confidence and wanted to send him back to Croatia," Walsh replied.

"Did he recover?" Xiao Yu was a little worried.

In fact, his arrival has changed a lot of things, but more of them are subtle changes around him, but he can't guarantee that this change will not affect Germany.

"There is no recovery. He couldn't play at Hertha Berlin at all. He played 3 times throughout the season and didn't score. Hertha Berlin has completely lost confidence in him."

"The whole season? Didn't he return to Croatia during the winter break?" Xiao Yu was very surprised.

Now Walsh and Bruce looked at Xiao Yu in surprise, "Why are you so sure that he will return to Croatia?"

"I saw news on the Internet that Hertha Berlin was going to send him back, so I asked Walsh to negotiate with the Marsonia Club in the Croatian domestic second division."

When the two heard this, they stopped entanglement immediately.

"Hertha did intend to send him away, but he chose to stay and he married a German girl,

I still live in Germany, so I couldn’t find it in Croatia, so I went to Germany to try my luck. "

Speaking of this matter, Walsh was full of resentment towards Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu smiled apologetically, "Then what happened?"

"Hertha Berlin wanted to send Olić away a long time ago, so they still owe Marsonia a transfer fee of 130,000 pounds. It's owed."

Walsh paused, took a sip of water, and continued: "I talked to Hertha Berlin and they agreed that as long as we help them pay the arrears of 130,000 pounds, they will agree to the transfer of Olic. New Manchester United."

"Are you okay?" Bruce asked concerned.

"Of course, I called him, and he said he wanted to buy Olic!" Walsh pointed to Xiao Yu.

Bruce shook his head for a while, this guy is too prodigal, it seems like he doesn't spend money as money at all.

"Steve, don't worry, listen to me, I've counted, our team currently has 5 forwards, Crouch, Zikic, Kitson, Olic and Jonathan Mai Teng, of whom Kitson hasn't had formal training for three years, we obviously can't expect much from him, and Jonathan did well in the North West Division Two, but we're in the National League now."

"I think it's worth buying an extra striker to be prepared. Besides, I don't think we've made a loss-making business!"

"Okay, if you can make sense of it, what about the right midfielder I want?"

Xiao Yu looked at Walsh, who immediately spoke.

"Yes, there are more than one. We introduced the young winger Alexander Hleb from the Borisov club in the Belarusian league. Berhatu of the Polish Second Division introduced Polish international Krzynovic, he is a left-footed player, and he can occasionally play on the right side, and will be a strong midfielder for our new season."

The introduction of Hleb cost New Manchester United 70,000 pounds, and Krzynovic spent 90,000 pounds. They both come from weak football countries, so the latter is already a Polish international, while the former is also well-known in Belarus. But the transfer fee will not be too high.

With the joining of these two wing stars, the two wings of the new Manchester United this season are bound to become smoother.

"As for the defensive midfielder, I have already talked with Holbeck, the third-tier team in Denmark. The opponent is a semi-professional team. They can't keep Paulson who is determined to leave, so we only spent £110,000 got Paulson."

"In addition, we also introduced right back Griffin Stasson from Iceland's IA club. Since this 17-year-old young player has not yet signed a contract with the IA club, after negotiations between the two parties, we only paid the other party 10,000 pounds. After that amount, take him to Manchester."

As early as when Walsh first started talking, Bruce recorded the players he mentioned and their transfer fees in the notepad he carried with him. Now, he started to count according to the numbers.

In the end, he concluded that the team spent a total of 1.9 million pounds on the introduction of players this year, and all of them were paid in one go. Among them, Juninho alone spent 800,000 pounds, which must be the National League this year. Even League C and League Two may even be the transfer bid king of League One.

Juninho's salary is also not low, with a weekly salary of 4,000 pounds after tax, which is the highest in the new Manchester United, several times higher than that of Jonathan Matten, but the latter is staring at the aura of the Brazilian international. , so it is understandable to get a high salary.

Except for Juninho, the other players are basically unknown. Even Crouch from the Premier League is not even considered the main force in the Tottenham youth team, let alone in Tottenham. beyond.

"Frankly speaking, Xiao Yu, with such a big signing, I feel a lot of pressure!" Bruce joked.

Indeed, it's a Brazilian international and a Polish international. Has there ever been a club in this national league that has two international players at the same time?

"Don't worry, Steve, I won't put any pressure on you, you can coach according to your own wishes, the club will fully support you!" Xiao Yu replied very positively.

Although he spent a lot of money and made great efforts to recruit new players, Xiao Yu actually didn't feel that Bruce should be given a death order. After all, it might add burden to the team, and the result would be bad.

"Andy, how are the accommodation arrangements for our new signings going?"

"It's all arranged. I have asked people to find several good places nearby. When they come, they can choose the house they like, rent it, and move in with their luggage."

"We must pay attention to things in this area, especially the eating habits and living habits of the players. We must pay close attention to them. I don't want these details to lead to the failure of our team's heavily invested players."

"Don't worry, I will personally follow up on this aspect, and nothing will go wrong."

For Walsh's style of doing things, Xiao Yu is very relieved. He is the kind of person who is very careful and patient, and will not make mistakes, but it is difficult to ask him to make surprises. This kind of person is responsible for this kind of logistical work. Xiao Yu naturally had no reason to be worried.

Bruce, who was sitting by the side, looked at the time and felt that it was almost time, so he stood up, "Xiao Yu, do you want to go home and get ready, change your clothes, and take a shower?"

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yu was a little surprised, when did Bruce care about his personal hygiene so much.

"It's time for us to go to Ireland!"

"Yeah, you forgot, David's wedding!" Walsh reminded him.

"No, of course I remember, it's July 4th, isn't it just July 3rd?" Xiao Yu suddenly realized that Bruce was wearing a neat suit, and Walsh was also dressed very formally.

"Oh, my God, don't you even forget the bachelor's farewell party? This is a tradition for men in England to get married, just the night before the wedding." Bruce patted his forehead.

How could Xiao Yu dare to say anything more, he really didn't know at all that there is such a tradition for men in England to get married!
