Chapter 20: Good News

"Are you serious about the above information?" After reading the information that Jimmy handed him, Ferguson couldn't help but look up at him and asked in disbelief. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is just like when he first saw Li Lei's trial report, it's not that he can't believe Jimmy, but the information he sees really makes him can't believe his eyes.

"Don't look at me like that, we were just like you when we came to this conclusion, and we couldn't believe our eyes." Seeing Ferguson's appearance, Jimmy didn't feel offended at all, but nodded and replied as if he had come over.

When Ferguson couldn't help but look down at the information again, he couldn't help but say to him in amazement: "God knows how this little guy did it!" Perhaps, he was born for the goalkeeper position. ”

Thinking of the madness, paranoid intensity of his training during this time, and the level of progress he made every day, Jimmy would not have believed that there was such a thing in the world if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes. As a person who has been working in youth training for decades, it is the first time in his life that he has seen such a thing.

After a long while, when Ferguson finally finished reading the information and looked up, the old handsome man still had a confused look on his face. If he hadn't known that what was happening in front of his eyes at the moment was real, he would have almost thought he was in a dream or watching a movie.

"So your conclusion is that Lee can officially join the reserve team or the first team and be able to officially participate in the competition?" Even though he had just seen this sentence in black and white at the end of the document, Ferguson couldn't help but ask.

"To be honest, if we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we wouldn't have believed that this lad would have improved so much. Of course, we don't mean that he can actually be the starting goalkeeper in an official game. He still has a lot of aspects, a lot of qualities, a lot of technical movements, and so on, a lot of unqualified and needs to be strengthened. But it's not just about saves. Speaking of this, Jimmy deliberately paused and looked at Ferguson, who was listening carefully.

Seeing that he didn't say anything special, he continued reassuringly: "In fact, we believe that this kid's goal-saving ability is no less than any goalkeeper in world football. It seems that Richard was right about the judgment of super dynamic vision. When it comes to saves, this kid has enough talent to eclipse any goalkeeper. Whatever we taught him, he mastered it very quickly and reached a very high level at a speed that would have left us jaw-dropping.

So, we have almost nothing to teach him when it comes to saves. The rest is up to his own training and development. As for the rest, Alex you should know better than we do. For such gifted youngsters, they can mature quickly at superhuman speed, as long as they are given enough opportunities to play and practice. Based on these circumstances, Alex, our youth coaching staff have a common advice for you. ”

At this point, Jimmy deliberately paused again, swallowed his saliva, and looked at Ferguson with some nervousness and fear. He knew that what he was going to say next was a bit of an infringement on Ferguson's purview. While he didn't expect Ferguson to be furious about it, Jimmy's inoffensive authority and authority at Manchester United made Jimmy a little nervous.

After making sure Ferguson didn't show any disgust or anger, he continued: "We felt that if we could, we should immediately give Lee more opportunities to play and train him. For him now, if he is just training, the pace of progress is too slow compared to before. According to our estimates, perhaps in just one season, this kid will give us more performance and reward than expected. ”

After saying that, Jimmy suddenly fell silent, and stared nervously at Ferguson, who was already deep in thought, waiting for the other party's final decision. Objectively speaking, their suggestion is already suspected of being overstepping. Jimmy, too, struggled for a long time before making this decision.

They really think that it is a pity to let Li Lei continue to practice hard every day, and it can even be said that it is a waste of their time and Li Lei's time. When the speed and amplitude of Li Lei's progress began to slow down, they had already clearly realized that only now in the arena could Li Lei continue to maintain the previous terrifying progress speed.

Of course, all this is up to Ferguson to make the final decision.

In fact, Jimmy had no idea that Ferguson did not feel the slightest sense of offense at all by their suggestion. Or rather, he didn't even have time to think about whether he was offended. He had just been struggling with United's goalkeeper when the next moment his youth director sent him a piece of advice for a talented young goalkeeper.

For Ferguson, who has never been shy about using promising young people, this is no different from when he is about to fall asleep, and someone immediately brings him a pillow.

Now that Jimmy had repeatedly assured him of the correctness of the material, Ferguson would no longer question its authenticity. Whether Li Lei really created a miracle in this short period of more than half a month is no longer something he has to consider. What he is thinking about at the moment is the possibility that Li Lei will join the first team now and start training.

Of course, Ferguson is not crazy enough to directly make Li Lei the main goalkeeper of the first team. What he was thinking about was whether Li Lei could be temporarily promoted to the first team as Manchester United's third goalkeeper. Moreover, at the same time, it also allowed Li Lei to be focused on training in the reserve team and get enough game experience and training.

Originally, the position of the third goalkeeper, Ferguson wanted to leave the French goalkeeper Butters, who was determined to leave the team but had not decided on his next home for the time being. But now, seeing that there is a talented young goalkeeper candidate who he knows no longer and is in front of him, why should he think about a person who is already destined to leave.

Thinking of this, Ferguson already had his own decision in his heart. Although this decision must not be concealed from the Fleet Street media, which has been staring at Manchester United during this time, once exposed, it will definitely attract more questions and pressure from public opinion, but who is Ferguson, as the helmsman of Manchester United's red dynasty, how can he let the pressure of the media affect his decisions and judgments.

In fact, at this moment, Ferguson is already looking forward to how shocked the outside world will be if the news is announced. He had even prepared a news headline in his heart with a bad taste - "The French goalkeeper was humiliated by the decentralization of the reserves, who is this green?" 》。

Of course, this is just a concoction for him to relieve his depressed mood recently and want to be happy. In addition to really valuing and wanting to cultivate Li Lei, he also has another purpose.

If that's the case, the attention and pressure on the team from the outside world have stopped for a while. Thinking like this, a shrewd, cunning look flashed in the depths of Ferguson's bright eyes, which were not at all like those of an old man in his sixtieth year.

However, it is still necessary to give this little guy a vaccination first. In a few days, he will be famous in England and hopefully he will be ready. Glancing at the information in his hand again, Ferguson thought to himself.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but be happy again, and the corners of his mouth brought a smile like a mischievous child. At this moment, he suddenly remembered Li Lei's goal of playing football, to become famous first, and then make a lot of money. For a while, he suddenly looked forward to how Li Lei would react when he knew about this "surprise" gift.

For this, he decided to tell Li Lei this "good" news in person. So, when Jimmy, who didn't get an accurate answer, was about to leave his office, Ferguson made a point of telling him: "Don't tell Lee about it, I'll tell him my decision myself in the evening." ”

What exactly did Ferguson think? Neither telling himself about his final decision, but also smiling evilly, Jimmy, who walked out of Ferguson's office, was completely stunned by the strange appearance of the old handsome. However, he did exactly what Ferguson told him, and did not mention anything to Li Lei about what happened in Ferguson's office as soon as possible.

It was night, Ferguson's house, after dinner.

"What?! Are you serious!! ”

After Ferguson told Li Lei of his decision, the ghost-like expression on Li Lei's face did not surprise Ferguson at all. In this regard, he seemed to be very satisfied with the effect of his words, which could scare the ice-faced boy in his mouth so out of shape. At this moment, he smiled happily and proudly, he was simply full of childlike innocence, like an old man with a sixtieth birthday.

However, Li Lei, who was still in shock, didn't notice it at all. His mind was still blank, and the huge pie that had just fallen from the sky had completely knocked him out, and his face looked stunned.

It wasn't until a long time later that he came back to his senses, stared at Ferguson, who was still smiling, and asked seriously and seriously, "Why?" After a huge surprise, he quickly regained his composure. In the mouths of Richard and others in training, he knew that he was moving at an amazing speed that they had not expected. But he knows very well that that alone will not be enough to break into United's first-team squad so quickly.

Now he is no longer a rookie who doesn't know anything, he knows very well what a shocking thing it is for a rookie like himself to join the Manchester United first team directly after only receiving serious football training for more than half a month.

In response, Ferguson smiled with satisfaction, nodded and said, "Very well, you haven't lost your mind yet." First of all, this matter is Jimmy's judgment and advice, and I believe in their level of work. After considering the current situation in the team, I made my own judgment and accepted their advice. However, you have to be clear that this does not mean that you will be able to play in the first team, and you will still be in the reserve team for the rest of your time. ”

Speaking of this, Ferguson paused suddenly, and only after he saw that Li Lei's face was still serious, without showing a look of confusion or dissatisfaction, he nodded with satisfaction and continued: "In addition, the situation of Manchester United in the outside world is not good now, and your appearance will be a big news that attracts the attention of all the media and fans, and can divert their attention from the first team." ”

When he said this, Li Lei nodded clearly, these are what he wants to hear. He is not a fool in the slums, he does not believe that there is a free lunch in the world, nor does he believe that pie will fall from the sky for no reason.

Seeing this, Li Lei showed a thoughtful look on his face, and Ferguson continued: "What kind of child, do you want to accept this arrangement?" I would like to remind you that once you accept it, you will be the object of all the media in England in the coming days. If you feel like you can't handle that pressure, you'd better tell me now, we all have a choice and we don't have to. ”

Although he knew that Li Lei was a young man with strong psychological quality, Ferguson couldn't help but be a little worried.

However, after Li Lei heard these words, he just smiled faintly, and then said, "Before giving my answer, I want to ask a few questions first." ”

"You say."

"First, if I get to the first team, will I be able to sign a formal professional contract and get a higher salary than I have now?"

"Of course." Ferguson replied in the affirmative.

"Second, will the media kill me?"

"What did you say?" Ferguson asked in surprise, a little suspicious of his ears.

Looking at the surprised and puzzled look on Ferguson's face, Li Lei smiled faintly and said, "If they can't kill me, why should I be afraid of them." ”

He said it lightly, but Ferguson saw something in his eyes. For a moment, Ferguson suddenly fell silent, his eyes stared deeply at Li Lei, who was sneering indifferently, and he felt as if he was going to get acquainted with this young man he admired again.

Seeing this, Li Lei's eyebrows couldn't help but lift up slightly.
