To the southwest of Manchester, about 6 miles west of Old Trafford, you will find a large area of small buildings and green trees, surrounded by greenery, beautiful scenery, convenient transportation, and even more rarely, very quiet, not noisy at all.

You can't see anything unique here from the building. There are also no symbols on it that illustrate these buildings. However, if you're a true Manchester United fan, when you drive down this secluded path and see the 'Carrington' sign along the side of the road, you'll know that this is the famous Carrington training base - the training ground of the Red Devils Manchester United, which is the heart of the century-old giant!

Suffice it to say, for many Manchester United fans, this is a mecca in their hearts.

Dense woods, curved buildings, wide grassy areas, no big Manchester United logo, slightly narrow gates, quiet paths, this is the general impression of Carrington training base. If it weren't for the players from all levels of Manchester United's squad who were training here, it would be difficult to associate this secluded place with the famous Manchester United club. However, it is this obscure training ground that has created a Manchester United dynasty that has terrified the whole of Europe and attracted the attention of fans around the world.

Since the Carrington training base was fully launched in 1995, all the echelons of the Manchester United team have trained here, from the small boy scouts to the first team, and the middle Under-17 youth team, Under-19 youth team, reserve team and first team have all trained here, in a word, this is the foundation of the Manchester United dynasty.

The Carrington Training Base covers a total of 70 acres. With a total of 14 high-quality training pitches of varying sizes, United players do not have to worry about the quality of the turf, and there are dedicated turf managers to maintain the turf throughout the year. When training, everyone also chooses to do it on a better quality field. These different sizes of courts ensure that players are found and in good shape before the big tournament begins. In addition, there is an indoor training ground. The role of the indoor training ground is also important, with badminton courts, physiotherapy rooms, massage rooms, swimming pools, which are all places to ensure that the players are in good shape. Next to the locker room is a very complete laundry room, where the washing machine is kept running properly, and the main players' clothes and other daily clothes are treated to perfection.

It is worth mentioning that before entering Manchester United's Carrington training base, you will first pass through Manchester City's training base. In United's 100-year history, the team has borrowed Manchester City's Maine Road Stadium. Today, the training grounds of the two brothers are so close together. This may be a coincidence. However, unlike Manchester United's side, Manchester City's training base gate is grandiose and has a very clear Manchester City club logo on it. It is said that during training, some players with excellent foot strength will accidentally kick the ball onto the opponent's court when kicking the ball. Manchester City's Chinese star Sun Jihai once told a Chinese reporter an interesting story, once he kicked off the ball in training, accidentally kicked the ball away, high into the sky, disappeared, head coach Keegan angrily roared: "You go to Manchester United to pick up the ball!" The two training bases are almost next to each other, after passing the Manchester City training base, walk for about two minutes, turn left at the first intersection, and a sheep intestine trail is Manchester United's training base. The training base of a pair of natural enemies actually lives next to each other, which is also an interesting story in English football. So, it's not uncommon for the Manchester City derby to see players on both sides fight and people on the pitch turn their backs, but after the next day's training, the players from both teams can still smile and say hello, go home together, and even sit down for a drink at a bar together.

At Manchester City's training base, several players were obviously inattentive during training, and looked at Manchester United's training ground not far away from time to time.

"There are a lot of reporters over there today. ”

"When will there be fewer people over there?" someone asked rhetorically. That's a bit sour.

Although Manchester City is also a veteran team in the Premier League, when it comes to the history of the team, it is not much better than Manchester United, but, when it comes to influence and fame, it is not enough to catch up with Manchester United next door, although at the end of this summer, Manchester City was bought by an Arab consortium, and the team introduced Real Madrid's Brazilian star Robinho at a price of 32.6 million pounds, if it were not for Yang Fan's transfer to Manchester United's 35 million pounds of pressure, Robinho is the most expensive player in the history of the Premier League. However, although Manchester City is rich now, it feels like an upstart, and it is still incomparable with Manchester United, which even Manchester City's own players have to admit.

"It's more than the usual number of reporters. The sharp-eyed man took one look and said, "Is there any news over there?"

"You didn't read the newspapers?" said Wright Phillips, who moved to Chelsea from Manchester City and is now back to Manchester City from Chelsea, "and these reporters are all for the Chinese." ”

The others really didn't know what was going on, so they hurriedly asked Phillips what was going on. It turned out that Yang Fan was causing trouble again, this one can really toss.

"Ha, what's going on? That kid is causing trouble again? Ha, look at how Ferguson cleans him up this time. Robinho said with some schadenfreude that the Brazilian has always been a little unhappy that his value was actually pressed by Yang Fan.

"What are you doing, several? Manchester City manager Mark Hughes shouted, "Concentrate on training. ”

A few people who were chatting together, some pouted, some turned their heads to look at Hughes, although they no longer continued to chat, but there seemed to be a lack of respect for Hughes in this expression. The head coach who came to Manchester City from Blackburn Rovers clearly lacks the intimidation power to contain these Manchester City players.

These reporters are indeed here for Yang Fan. Usually when there is nothing to do, reporters have to dig out their minds to find news from these big stars of Manchester United, and Yang Fan's new girlfriend is actually Ashley Olsen, which is tantamount to explosive news, these reporters are naturally like flies that smell the smell of cream, and they flock to it one by one.

"Did you say that Jan broke up with Emma Roberts and was with Ashley Olsen, or?"

"Who knows, hey, this Chinese is really powerful." ”

"God, I still don't believe it's true. ”

"Shit luck. ”

These reporters were talking a lot, and there was a lot of jealousy in their words, Yang Fan and Emma Roberts had made some people jealous before, and now they suddenly found out that the Chinese striker actually had an affair with Ashley Olsen, which made these reporters excited about the news and even more jealous.

The Olsen sisters are the world's top five female diamond kings! worth $200 million!

Ferguson frowned, and the reporters were seriously disrupting the normal training of Manchester United.

"Go, get rid of all these people. Ferguson told assistant coach Mike Ferran.

Moments later, there was a flurry of chickens and dogs at the Carrington training base, and the security guards evicted the reporters, then closed the gates and locked them. Some reporters were not angry, so they were about to come up to theorize, and saw the security guard dangling a German shepherd dog, and they were silent.

No one has protested anymore, and it is clear that this is not the first time that Ferguson has expelled journalists and vicious dogs. In the face of Ferguson's toughness and obscenity, these reporters could only dare to be angry. To offend the old Scottish man, they don't want to get the right to interview Manchester United for at least a year or two.

There were a few entertainment reporters shouting, but after being persuaded by a few sports colleagues, they didn't dare to make trouble again.

The flies were driven away, and the ears were quiet. However, Ferguson was still angry, and he planned to clean up Yang Fan well.

It's just that in training, Yang Fan's attitude is extremely correct, and in the confrontation match, he is also in very good condition, in the 45-minute confrontation game, Yang Fan scored two goals and assisted Tevez to score a goal. The whole table is absolutely unpicky, and the attitude is also extremely correct, but Ferguson, who wants to find an excuse to discipline Yang Fan, can't find any opportunity, you can't just call the players over and reprimand them just because the media said something.

Of course, Ferguson has made up his mind, he has been staring at Yang Fan for the past few days, if this kid has anything that does not satisfy him, he will clean it up.

Until the end of training, Ferguson did not find a chance to clean up Yang Fan, which also made Yang Fan breathe a sigh of relief, at the beginning of today's training, he noticed that the old man's eyes were wrong, this is going crazy. Yang Fan was very cautious, and he definitely couldn't give the old man a chance to go crazy.

Then, Yang Fan was very unhappy with the random reports in the media, these paparazzi, they don't know anything, they will only chase the wind and catch the shadows and spread rumors, these bastards, don't you know that random rumors will kill people?

I have to be careful in the next few days, don't give Ferguson a chance to teach himself.

"Oh, Dad, I know, I'll take care of my own affairs, don't worry about it, you better worry about your own business. Mary Kate Olsen hung up the phone, looking very unhappy.

The cause of the unpleasantness is in her hands.

This is a photo report from the English newspaper The Times, printed on the Internet, showing a young boy with an Asian face driving a car with the window ajar, and half of the face of a girl in the back seat is visible.

That's right, this is the photo of Yang Fan and Ashley Olsen at the Carrington training base.

Looking at the headline in the printed report in his hand: Yang Fan's mysterious new girlfriend is Ashley Olsen.

Mary Kate Olsen gritted her teeth, screamed, and tore the photo to shreds.

After a while, as if she had calmed down, Sister Olsen picked up the phone and dialed the number of the two people's common agent, "Miss Ruth, you pay attention to safety on the road, I will go to the airport on time to meet her, don't tell Sister Sù, I want to surprise her." ”
