On 15 July 2010, Manchester City's training camp for the new season began.

Yang Fan came to the Carrington training base early on this day, and he agreed to the janitor Greennett's request for a group photo at the gate. This is the first day of Manchester City's training camp, the janitor smiled and said that he wanted to be the first person to take a photo with Yang Fan in the new season, Yang Fan smiled and said, just now when he was about to approach the training base, he had already taken a photo with other fans, and the janitor felt sorry after hearing it.

After the two took pictures, Yang Fan asked with a smile, "George, I think you should write a sentence on the photo: Champion, from this day on, continue on the road!"

"Awesome idea. The janitor clapped his hands, "I'll write in a moment." ”

"Haha. Yang Fan laughed.

The door to the locker room had been opened, and Yang Fan was the first to arrive.

After changing his equipment, he went to the training ground first with a net bag of footballs.

The others arrived one after another, and after a holiday, they met again, everyone hugged and said hello, and the Carrington training base began to be lively again.

Bellamy's affection is not too high, he is one of the targets of manager Mancini's purge, Bellamy is well aware of this, and he has also received a call from head coach Mancini, Mancini said that Bellamy is not in his future plans, claiming that Bellamy can now contact the new club, whether it is a transfer or a loan, Manchester City will not create obstacles to Bellamy's departure.

The rest of the group was obviously aware of Bellamy's situation, but they could only pat the Welshman on the shoulder as a comforting gesture that players come and go in the professional squad, and they are used to it.

The players who came to the training camp today are all players who have no World Cup assignments, and they are here to report from the team today, while those who have played in the World Cup are allowed to return to the team after a week. In particular, the Spanish and Dutch internationals, who played in the World Cup final, were allowed to return to the team after half a month. Manchester City have a number of internationals in the World Cup final, with Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong and new Spanish signing David Silva, while Germany international Boateng, who played in the World Cup semi-finals, was also allowed to return after two weeks.

※※※※※※※

Moments later, however, two new signings appeared in the dressing room, Bosnian striker Dzeko and Spanish midfielder David Silva. The two met outside just now, both of them had just joined the team, and they had never been masked before, but they were always 'thunderous' to each other, they were all newcomers, so they were naturally closer, and the two came to the locker room while chatting.

Although David Silva is a Spanish international, he has been following Spain until the team won the World Cup before ending the World Cup, however, Silva is not the main player in the Spanish national team, and only played twice during the entire World Cup, of which only the first game of the group stage against Switzerland was the starter, however, in that game, Spain lost 0-1 to Switzerland in the first game, and Silva's poor performance also caused criticism after the game, and Bosque also took Silva from the main team in the subsequent game, and did not give Silva much chance.

This also made Silva very dissatisfied, because Bosque's move was almost tantamount to seeing him Silva as the culprit of Spain's defeat to Switzerland, and Silva could not accept being a scapegoat!

Therefore, although Spain won the World Cup, which made Silva very happy, however, the conflict between him and Bosque was almost public, he became a spectator almost all the way in the World Cup, naturally did not spend much energy, Silva also attached great importance to his new start in Manchester City, so he simply sacrificed his vacation and took the initiative to report to the team in advance, hoping that this move would leave a good impression on coach Mancini.

Given, the team's third captain, welcomed Dzeko and Silva on behalf of the team.

The two of them turned their heads around to look.

"You're looking for Yang?" said Gawain, laughing.

Everyone also laughed good-naturedly, and the media had been talking about Dzeko and Silva, who were personally invited to Manchester City by Yang Fan, which was also rumored to be a good talk.

"yes, Captain?" Dzeko asked.

"Are you still on vacation?" said the team's new signing, Mohammed Abou, who thought that Yang Fan was the captain of Manchester City, the flag of Manchester City, and should enjoy privileges in the team, and it was normal to return a few days late.

Abu is an 18-year-old Ghanaian boy who joined Manchester City from domestic club Accra Sporting Club, which is clearly a move with an eye to the future, the Ghanaian lad will train and train with the team before the season, but then the most likely is to go out on loan, and there is no way to have a place for this lad in the Manchester City first team.

However, even if he can only train with the first team, Abu is very excited, and the thought of being able to train with Yang Fan and even play a warm-up game together makes the Ghanaian lad excited. For him, Yang Fan obviously belongs to the kind of great star who is at the top of the pyramid, and he even feels that he can't imagine what Yang Fan's life is like: luxury cars, beautiful women, fine wine, constant pies, and singing every night?

"No, you don't know Yang. Jiwen shook his head, "Maybe you don't believe it, but the truth is that Yang is the one who trains hardest in the whole team and works hardest for himself." ”

Dzeko nodded, he knew Yang Fan, when he was in Wolfsburg, he was shocked by Yang Fan's efforts and strict requirements for himself, which is also where he admired Yang Fan, now it seems that although a few years have passed, Yang Fan has also become the world's top star, but he is still so strict with himself, no wonder Yang Fan can achieve such achievements now.

Silva didn't speak, but he was thoughtful.

※※※※※※※

Abu looked surprised and nodded noncommittally, he would be skeptical of Givin's words. In his mind, with Yang Fan's strength and status, he must be enjoying a good life now, how can he still train so hard? Yang Fan can do the same requirements as other players, this is very good, right?!

Ji Wen could see Abu's disbelieving expression, he shook his head, and didn't say anything, these people who had not been in contact with Yang Fan would not understand Yang Fan! Facts speak louder than words, and slowly he understood. For Yang Fan's hard work and fighting spirit, the whole team of Manchester City admires it, in addition to the detachment of strength, this is also a reason why Yang Fan can quickly win the support and trust of the whole team! Therefore, for some media always attack and smear Yang Fan's behavior, the whole team of Manchester City hates it, and Yang Fan, who works so hard, is worthy of the trust and maintenance of the whole team. Yang Fan's hard work and hard work have also led to a good atmosphere in the whole Manchester City team, which makes them very confident in the future of the team.

Jiwen looked at the other people who had changed their equipment, he looked at his watch again, if Yang Fan didn't come again, he would lead the team to the training ground first, he was the third captain of the team.

It was at this moment that the door to the locker room was pushed open. Everyone turned their heads to look, and they saw the man who had come in.

Everyone was stunned.

What kind of person is this?

This person was wearing a Manchester City jersey, but the jersey was wet and sticky to his body, and under the light of the dressing room, there was a layer of dazzling reflection on this person's body, the reflection of sweat, and even beads of sweat dripping down and dripping onto the floor.

"Yang?" called Dzeko.

Yang Fan wiped a handful of sweat and greeted everyone, "Hello everyone, long time no see." Then he grinned at Dzeko and came up and hugged Dzeko, "Edin, you're here, haha." ”

Silva was looking at Yang Fan at this time, when he was in Valencia, he had also heard that Yang Fan was training hard, but he didn't expect it to be so hard, today is the first day of the training camp, just now everyone was still mentioning Yang Fan, some people thought that he had not come to the training ground, but, looking at this posture, everyone knew that Yang Fan must have been training on the training ground for a period of time just now. Silva was shocked by what he saw, this Yang Fan can achieve such a great achievement, to become the captain of Manchester City, to become the leader and banner of this superstar-studded team, this is no accident, he just knew that when other people mentioned Yang Fan's name, it was that kind of respect from the heart, this is not the kind of jealousy because of Yang Fan's world's first value, it is true belief and respect.

Now, seeing this scene, Silva knows why everyone respects Yang Fan so much. It was him Silva, seeing such a hard-working Yang Fan, his first feeling was: his decision to accept Yang Fan's invitation and choose to join Manchester City was correct.

Yang Fan then grinned at Silva and stretched out his hand to the other party, "Coming?" Yang Fan asked.

Silva nodded, smiled, and said, "Here we are." I listened to you and came to create a great dynasty. ”

"Haha. Yang Fan laughed, "You will definitely be proud of this choice." ”

Silva nodded, smiled shyly, and then the two of them high-fived their hands in the air, and then embraced: this is an extremely confident guy with some stinky fart! This is his first impression of Yang Fan, if it was before, Silva may not like this kind of stinky guy very much, because he himself is a shy person, but, at this moment, Silva feels quite good, he even thinks that the captain of Manchester City, the flag of Manchester City, the legendary Yang Fan should be like this, a team has such a guy, can make people feel at ease.

※※※※※※※

Another new recruit, the nobody Muhammad Abu stood there nervously on the side, he saw Yang Fan and Edin hugging, and Silva hugging, he was suffering from gains and losses, Yang Fan was his idol, but he didn't know if Yang Fan had him in his eyes.

Yang Fan then spoke to the team's third captain, Given, and didn't notice Abu, much to the frustration of the Ghanaian kid.

Jiwen smiled, he said something to Yang Fan, and squeezed his eyes at Abu.

Yang Fan turned his head and noticed this depressed black boy.

Abu felt someone tap him on the shoulder, he was startled, and when he looked up, he saw Yang Fan's face.

Seeing Yang Fan's outstretched hand, Abu hurriedly handed it over.

Yang Fan's expression was very serious, "Welcome to Muhammad Abu Manchester City!"

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Remember the saying, no matter what you do, you will be rewarded for your efforts! Say to yourself, Abu is great, come on!"

"Well, I remembered, and I will always remember. Flattered, Abu nodded excitedly, "Thank you, Captain." ”

This is the first meeting between the nobody, Mohammed Abu and his idol, the captain of the team, Yang Fan, many years later, when the best star in the history of Ghana retired, he published this story in his autobiography, and said that Yang Fan is the person he is grateful to in this life, he will always remember Yang Fan's encouragement and words to him, he is his most admired eternal captain and big brother!

"Perhaps, I will just become a professional player with a very ordinary and mediocre team. After all, for me at that time, the star-studded city of Manchester City was too far away. "Muhammad. Abu recalled, "But the boss's words changed my life. He is a great player, he works so hard, what reason do I have to be lazy, he is like a huge role model, this giant moving forward and back, always spurring me to ......" R1148
