Early morning, Manchester, Carrington Training Base. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

With the fame of the Red Devils, the Carrington youth training system, which cultivated Manchester United's 92 class, has long been recognized as one of the best youth training bases in European and even world football.

Every year, I don't know how many children and teenagers with football dreams come here and are eager to get the best football training here. However, because of the huge number of tryouts, the elimination rate here is also surprisingly high, ranking among the top youth training bases in Europe.

Ferguson, who is the Reds' first-team manager, will not be in charge of the details of the Academy and development teams himself, but that doesn't mean he is unaware of the staggeringly high figures.

Moreover, it is precisely because of this that he felt incomprehensible and even a little funny about Li Lei's request for trial. Even though Li Lei expressed his resolute attitude that success must be achieved, Ferguson did not have the slightest optimism about his prospects for success.

A 19-year-old football idiot wants to turn around and pass Carrington's tryout, and in doing so, embark on the path to becoming a professional footballer.

It's a ridiculously ambitious ambition. Even Ferguson, who admires Li Lei very much, is not optimistic about his possibility of any success and miracles.

Therefore, after Li Lei made this request, Ferguson immediately gave him several hours of popularization education on professional football knowledge. He didn't want to reject and discourage the young man, hoping that he would be able to retreat on his own.

But in the end, Li Lei was not stubborn at all, and almost made Ferguson, who wanted to be a kind old grandfather, break his credit. If it weren't for the nervousness and eagerness to look at the side. Li Xin'er, who was still a little scared, was about to start blowing his hair dryer.

Originally, Ferguson wanted to put Li Lei in some non-professional work at Manchester United or his son's football agency. But because of Li Lei's incredible stubbornness, he had no choice but to arrange a trial for him, which could be regarded as a formality, so that this young man who didn't know the height of the sky would hit the south wall, and after turning around, he would follow his own arrangement.

"Bang."

After getting out of Ferguson's car, Li Lei looked curiously left and right. For him, it was a completely new world. Here, he's not much different from a newborn baby.

"Hell, I told you to get rid of your goddamn hair color, is this still hair? It's rubbish, it's not what a professional footballer should be. After parking the car, Ferguson led Li Lei in front, chattering his dissatisfaction with Li Lei's hair.

Li Lei's green hair reminded him of the beloved apprentice who left the team this summer, the "beloved son" who he thought was damaged by a woman.

Although he knew in his heart that there was no relationship between the two at all, this old man, who was frustrated by what happened in the summer, just couldn't calm the unhappiness in his heart.

In this regard, Li Lei, who was following him, couldn't bear it. Ever since he met Ferguson that night, his hair has been the object of Ferguson's criticism. No matter what Li Lei said or did, Ferguson had no intention of stopping.

Although this made Li Lei, who had not enjoyed this kind of treatment since the death of his parents, felt a little warm in his heart. But at the same time, there is helpless irritability.

He kept rolling his eyes and followed Ferguson feebly, feeling like his ears were being carpet-bombarded and his head was going to explode.

If he let the "old people" in the slums see him like this, they will be stunned. This big boy who obediently accepts nagging, is it still that fierce and terrifying flower worm, I must have crossed over, this is a parallel universe.

Soon after, the two were in Ferguson's daily office.

Somewhat unexpectedly, there was no such thing as the office of the coach of a wealthy family that he imagined. Not only is it not luxurious and extravagant at all, but it is also a bit small and even crowded. It didn't look neat, and it was full of all kinds of documents, which made Li Lei look at it.

In addition, there are two large whiteboards in the office, which are full of things that are ghost drawings for Li Lei.

Well, just by taking a casual look, Li Lei has no interest in continuing to watch at all. He sat on the couch across from Ferguson's desk, bored.

Seeing this, Ferguson, who was already sitting at his desk and opening a document, couldn't help but show an old naughty smile on the corner of his mouth. I don't know when it started, as long as he saw Li Lei's depressed and helpless expression, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, just like a grandfather watching his young grandson do things.

Well, even Ferguson himself expressed incomprehension of his extraordinarily close psychology to Li Lei, and could only blame it on fate, God's arrangement.

Soon after, just when Li Lei was bored and couldn't stay any longer, there was a knock on the door of Ferguson's office, and a Manchester United staff member with a big belly and the image of a typical middle-aged English man walked in. He wore a Manchester United sportswear, and Lee Lei saw a lot of them at Ferguson's house.

"Hey, Alex, you can be here early today. Well, that's the big boy you're talking about. After the man walked in, he deliberately glanced at Li Lei before sitting in front of Ferguson and said to him.

"Yes, Jimmy. This is the boy who doesn't know the height of the sky. Ferguson glanced at Li Lei on the side, ignored Li Lei's helplessness in rolling his eyes, and replied in a helpless tone, "Li, you go out for a while first." I have some more to explain to Jimmy. ”

Although he knew that what Ferguson was going to say must be related to him, Li Lei still nodded coolly and left, without the slightest intention of inquiring.

After watching Li Lei walk out of his office and close the door, Ferguson continued to say to the man named Jimmy: "Don't give him any special treatment, just go through the process and let him die." ”

Jimmy smiled and said, "That's not for sure, maybe this kid can do miracles." This is the great Sir Alex Ferguson's recommendation for a 'talented young player', hahaha. ”

Ferguson couldn't hear the ridicule, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Don't play poor, get out." ”

The two didn't talk for long, just a pleasant conversation, and Li Lei saw the man from Jimmy come out. He smiled at himself, stretched out his hand and said, "I'm Manchester United's academy director, Jimmy Ryan, you just call me Jimmy." ”

Jimmy was polite, and although he thought the trial was a joke, he showed his friendliest side after all, it was Ferguson who brought him personally. This can be regarded as Li Lei's special treatment, otherwise how could Jimmy Ryan, Manchester United's youth director, who has always been known for his strictness, have such a good face on a trial player with little hope.

"Hello, my name is Lei Lee, and it's okay to call me Lee." Li Lei held Jimmy's hand and replied lightly. Facing this middle-aged man who can single-handedly decide the outcome of his own trial, he did not show the slightest timidity and flattery. These years of experience in the slums have given him enough confidence and experience compared to other people of the same age.

"Okay, Lee, come with me, kid, your tryout is about to begin." Jimmy replied with a smile.

Looking at Li Lei, who was indifferent, even though he knew that the other party could not become a player under him through a trial, Jimmy still subconsciously ticked Li Lei in his heart.

For those of them who are youth workers, there are many indicators to identify promising and even talented young players, including body, strength, speed, man-ball combination and so on.

Personality or character is also a very important criterion in this.

If a player's talent and technical ability are the basis of what he can ultimately achieve, then his personality or personality is the decisive factor in determining how much he can perform.

That's why academy coaches tend to prefer their young players to be proud and unruly rather than cowardly and cowardly.

There are too many difficulties that can be encountered in a player's career, a long cold bench career, injuries, opponents in the game, provocation and suppression on the field, etc. In the face of these, if you don't have a good enough personality and character, it will be difficult for players to give full play to their strength, and it is even very likely that they will fall short because of this.

These problems are not something that can be solved by the skill and body of the players, but they fundamentally affect the performance of the players on the field. And professional football is precisely the cruelty of the reality of only looking at the actual performance of players on the field, so it seems that youth coaches pay special attention to this.

Therefore, no matter how unbearable Li Lei's actual football level is, in terms of personality and personality, Jimmy is still very satisfied with him.

But what's the point, this is not a place for rookies to go wild, thinking like this, Jimmy, who was walking in front of him, couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that he was too sick of an occupational disease.

Although he had been greeted by Ferguson for a long time, he still saw Li Lei as a tryout player like other trial players from the first time he saw him, and completely forgot that Li Lei was just a person who came to go through the motions.

Li Lei, who was walking behind Jimmy, didn't know what the youth director was thinking, but looking at the way he shook his head, it was obvious that it was probably about himself, and it was something not very good.

But he doesn't care, even if this person is the one who single-handedly decides whether his trial is successful or not, just like he chose to be a player despite Ferguson's dissuasion.

As long as you want to do it, you must do it. If it weren't for this stubbornness, he wouldn't have been able to protect his sister and live in the slums.

Thinking about it, his eyes slowly sharpened.

It's like an unsheathed sword!

It's like a fierce beast that chooses people and loves it!!

It exudes a chill that makes people tingle!

Terrifying!!

At this time, if there were people who knew Li Lei in the slums who saw Li Lei's eyes, they would definitely not say a word, turn around and flee from Li Lei's side.

Because, for this look, they are all too familiar.

It stands for....

The flower worm is going to eat people!!
