A soldier who does not want to be a marshal is not a good soldier.

The same applies to the world of football.

Starting from football schoolboys, to really stepping into the professional league, starting from the lower leagues, from the unknown soy sauce role, step by step, step by step to become known to the world, schoolchildren, signing a professional contract to become a full player, maybe starting from a small team, then a bigger team, and then to a higher level of competition...... Most successful players take one step at a time, from weak to strong, from unknown to world-famous.

Fan Bizhuang also experienced such a journey.

Now he has a lot of fame, his influence radiates all over the world, and he has countless fans, maybe to some extent, he has been successful, but for the Premier League, he is just a "newcomer".

A newcomer means that in some aspects he has to start from scratch, maybe his starting point is higher than others, but he still needs to climb up bit by bit.

The main position is Fan Bizhuang's most urgent goal at present.

Joining with the first value in the history of Manchester United Club, and at the same time the club offered him a salary package that is definitely the first class in England and even Europe, so he came here, naturally it is impossible for him to get the ball around, he is still young, he has higher pursuits, and he has to be worthy of the fans and the club to give him a good salary.

Van Bizhuang has to let everyone know that Manchester United's efforts are worth the money.

Of course, there is another point that Fan Bizhuang is so desperate to get a starting position, because he wants more playing time, because in this way, he will have a greater probability of scoring - although he is a newcomer, his performance is passable, and most fans have an understanding attitude towards him, but there are still a small number of people who still attack him for not scoring goals just for his salary.

Fan Bizhuang behaved very open-mindedly, but it is impossible to say that he really doesn't care at all, especially under the instigation of the "Sun", many media and fans follow the trend, questioning and criticizing without brains, Fan Bizhuang is holding his breath, wanting to use facts to slap these "mouth full of feces" people in the later games.

However, Fan Bizhuang also knows that his time to join the team is too short, at this stage, he wants to win the starter, and even sit in the main position in one fell swoop, which is not realistic - Ferguson values him from top to bottom, but it is one thing to value it, and the actual situation is another, Ferguson is not willing to take this risk, and it is more likely that Fan Bizhuang will accumulate more experience in Premier League games and slowly support the upper position.

Fan Bizhuang knows this, but he has no choice but to use a better performance in training, hoping to impress the head coach.

Two days later, it was the third round of the home league against West Ham United, and Fan Bizhuang had no hope of starting the game the day after tomorrow, but he was suddenly hit by a surprise.

At the end of the day's training, Muhrensteen gathered the first-team players and announced the eighteen-man squad for the next round of the league.

It is not surprising that Fan Bizhuang's name appeared in the 18-man squad, but to everyone's surprise, Fan Bizhuang actually replaced Owen's position in one fell swoop and became one of the starting eleven of the team in this round of the league.

Although sooner or later we all knew that there would be such a day, most of the players were still surprised, after all, Van Bizhuang has been in the team for too short a time, and he only has two Premier League games at full play, and he is still a substitute, only a few moments.

In such a situation, the head coach gave the main position to a "recruit" in one fell swoop, which is really incomprehensible.

The team-mates were mixed, some were whispering, others were muttering, as if they were complaining about Owen, and others, such as Neville and Van der Sar, laughed and congratulated Fan Bizhuang and warmly invited him to have a drink with him in the evening to celebrate - of course, Fan Bizhuang came to buy it, who let him win the "jackpot".

This surprise came too suddenly and unexpectedly, there was no sign at all, Fan Bizhuang was a little dizzy, he first asked Mulenstin in disbelief, and after confirming it, he grinned and smirked - and then he quickly restrained his smile, after all, there were teammates present, if he laughed too much, maybe it would be understood as "getting carried away", and Owen was on the side, after all, he was grabbing his starting spot, and others would definitely not be too happy, Don't rub salt on your wounds.

Obviously, Fan Bizhuang was self-inflicted, and Owen did not have the slightest unusual emotion, as if he had already known that he was not in the starting list this time, he nodded to Fan Bizhuang, and congratulated with a smile: "Congratulations, Fan ...... Don't think too much, perform well, if the performance is bad, I will not be polite, I will take this position back at any time. ”

Owen is very generous, he can't be unreasonable, Ferguson has communicated with him in advance, he has no objections, his own situation is clear, he only played one round in the new season, and there were some minor problems with his body, this round of games, his physical condition is not that he can't be a starter, but somewhat reluctantly. The manager is right, with his current situation, what he needs is a combination of work and rest, and rotation is the best way.

Anyway, Manchester United is fighting on the fourth line this season, as long as his body is fine, even as a rotation player, he will not miss games.

Owen's tone was very sincere, Fan Bizhuang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, you just look at it, I have already made up my mind about this position, and I won't come down if I sit on it." ”

Owen smiled, and his teammates around him also nodded and congratulated, shouting for Fan Bizhuang to have a treat, and Owen, who was robbed of his starting position, had no opinion, and they naturally had no objection.

Little chubby Dun Rooney called out particularly vigorously, this guy is a lively character, plus Fan Bizhuang gave him an assist in the first round of the league, which brought a lot of relationships closer, and the relationship between the two also got along very well, and he had no scruples when he spoke, Rooney dragged Fan Bizhuang to ask him to bleed heavily at night, otherwise he would not be allowed to leave.

A group of people laughed at the training ground.

……

In the end, Fan Bizhuang invited his teammates to a steak dinner in a western restaurant outside the training base, which can be regarded as blocking the mouths of unscrupulous friends, of course, the proposal to go to the bar to drink and have fun did not come to fruition, the third round of the league is just around the corner, and at this juncture to run to have fun, it is estimated that the news reached the ears of Ferguson, I am afraid that no one has a good life.

This old guy is notoriously "ruthless", flying boots hit Beckham in the locker room, slapped his disciples, and flipped the table at the birthday party...... There are countless examples of this. Ferguson is like a strict parent, his attitude towards professional football is even more rigorous and focused, he can't rub sand in his eyes, and he usually does it, if he dares to make a moth at the moment when the game is about to play, Ferguson will be furious.

Obviously, no one was willing or afraid to bear the wrath of the old man.

After the meal, saying goodbye to his teammates, Fan Bizhuang and Kaka strolled home together.

I don't know what Kaka thinks, but after arriving in Manchester, he turned down the club's offer of him and instead let his father, Bosco, rent a yard next to Van Bizhuang's residence.

The two were teammates when they were Real Madrid, they were teammates after they came to England, and now they are good neighbors.

Fan Bizhuang "warned" Kaka and asked him to keep some distance from him, and now the media and newspapers are rumoring that the two are a pair of good friends, and now they live closer together, and I don't know how unscrupulous reporters will arrange it.

These words were so angry that Kaka wanted to let the dog bite this open-mouthed guy to death - but he really did it, but his beloved big golden retriever, after being beaten with his paws a few times during the Spring Festival, saw Fan Bizhuang again, and only wagged his tail and begged to bow his eyebrows, not to mention how well-behaved he looked, just like Fan Bizhuang was his real master.

Kaka was naturally more depressed.

The two of them walked on the road, the difference was that Fan Bizhuang, who was full of food and drink, looked comfortable and calm, while Kaka frowned with a painful expression.

"These guys are so ruthless! Yes, it's too ruthless, it's too ruthless, it's hard to eat, it's hard to eat, what is expensive and what is really a bunch of bastards plus rice buckets. ”

Fan Bizhuang shouted indignantly, but in exchange for Kaka's angry glare, he said angrily, "No matter how bastard they are, they can't compare to you!" Damn, didn't you say you had a treat, why should I pay! ”

“……”

Fan Bizhuang smiled and rummaged through a few pockets of his clothes and pants with both hands, "Knock, you also saw it, my pocket is cleaner than my face...... I have to say that it's a good habit not to bring a wallet when you go to the training ground. ”

“……”

Kaka gritted his teeth with hatred and said viciously, "Remember to return me." ”

"Who are the two of us, you shouldn't be so stingy, right?"

Fan Bizhuang came up and hugged Kaka's shoulder, "Brotherhood is worth a thousand gold, don't worry about some small things." ”

Kaka opened the hand he had placed on his body with a look of disgust, "Now you know that brotherhood is worth a thousand dollars?" Who said to keep your distance? Don't talk nonsense, remember to give me the money back...... No, I can't believe in your character, just give me an IOU when I go back, friends belong to friends, and money must be separated......"

“……”

Kaka insisted, Fan Bizhuang could only reluctantly agree, saying that he would "clear the money and goods" when he went back. At the same time, he gave Kaka an extremely resentful look.

The two talked and joked for a while, and suddenly Kaka spoke again in an envious tone: "I said before that it was difficult for me to get the starting position at this stage, but it was ...... in a blink of an eye You guy, you hide it deep enough that even I have to hide it. ”

Fan Bizhuang, who was inexplicably wronged, was about to explain, but saw Kaka waving his hand again, and continued: "This is not bad, it can be regarded as an incentive for me, you can become a starter in such a short time, if I work harder, maybe I will have a chance to play soon." ”

In this round of the league, Manchester United hosted West Ham United, and Van Bizhuang was a bit of a surprise in the team's starting line-up, but Kaka's side made sense - the Brazilian star did not even make the 18-man squad, so he could only sit at home and watch the TV broadcast.

Fan Bizhuang gave him an encouraging thumbs up: "I never doubt your ability. ”

"Okay, don't pat me on the back, no matter how much you brag about me, I'm not the leader, it's impossible to give you the main position directly." Kaka smiled and said, "I'll go live to watch the game on the weekend, you guy, don't drop the chain in front of my eyes, otherwise I won't be stingy with my own ridicule." ”

"I don't think you'll have that chance."

A pair of friends, talking and laughing with each other, slowly walked away into the distance.
