In Alex Ferguson's office, three elderly people who seem to be in a good mood sit around the sofa in the office. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Old Edward, Andy is really good, I don't deny that, but he's only 17 years old and he still needs to be trained, so I can't give it too high in terms of contract, and I have to make it clear to you now." Alex Ferguson's face, which was distinctly Scottish, became more and more rosy as he dug up the treasure.

"I understand that, but we should ask Andy first." Old Edward still doesn't want to directly help Andy in such a big matter, and wants to hear his own opinion.

"So Andy, would you like to come to our team, but I can't promise you anything, you need time to prove yourself, you may only be able to play as a substitute for a long time, and you will interrupt your college career after becoming a professional footballer, so I can give you time to think about it, and you can also communicate with your parents." Alex Ferguson had seen too many geniuses, but Andy was a great surprise to him, and as a friend's grandson, he spoke very thoroughly.

"Sir, I have already thought about it before coming to the trial, as for the opportunity to play, I will use my strength to prove it to you," Andy replied confidently, believing that his ability can impress the old man in front of him.

And he has always pursued a principle, since he has decided to do it, he must do his best, never give up halfway, even if there are many difficulties, he must defeat all the enemies in front of him and become a star.

"Excellent! Brian, I think I can prepare a contract for this kid. Alex Ferguson admires Andy more and more, with a strong body and unyielding confidence, which is a quality that a player must have.

Soon after, Andy signed a two-year contract with a salary of £5,000 a week, a signing fee of £20,000 and a number of appearances, goals bonuses and the like.

"Very well, Andy, now that you're one of my players, you can follow Brian to familiarize yourself with our training base and start training." Alex Ferguson is also a man of great measure.

"This is Manchester United's dressing room, and this cabinet will be yours in the future, with 2 sets of team uniforms, 2 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of sneakers and various knee pads, you can put a change of clothes outside after training every day, and it will be washed every day by the staff."

Brian Kidd, who has been an academy coach for many years, enjoys working with young people and is especially happy with the satisfaction of developing them one by one.

"Okay, sir, but I heard from my friend that he now needs to clean the shirts and boots of the senior players every day, and they have to pick up the ball when they train, and they also need to clean the dressing room, and even need to clean the toilets in the base, why isn't that the case here?" Andy thought of Terry's sometimes complaints on the phone at Chelsea, and couldn't hide his curiosity and asked.

'We're not like that here, we've long since abolished this bad habit in English football, young players are here to learn to play, not to work. Brian Kidd replied proudly, and it seems that he dismisses the old rule of football apprenticeship that is still practiced by many clubs.

"By the way, Andy, do you have a favorite number, but I hope your favorite number doesn't conflict with the one you are using now." Brian Kidd asked Andy for advice.

"Sir, no one should be using No. 44, right?" Andy doesn't have a special preference for those numbers and just says what he's always used.

"No. 44 is not a striker's number, usually these big numbers are used by young men from the academy, but as long as you like it, of course you can." Brian Kidd, though a little strange about Andy's choice of such a tuba, immediately agreed. …,

"It's the number I used when I played rugby, so I'm used to it." Andy explained.

"This house is an indoor training ground, there is a physiotherapy center, a massage room, a swimming pool, if you feel tired after training, you can come to swim or massage to relax, there is also an equipment center and other equipment, you will slowly understand it yourself."

Leaving the locker room, Brian Kidd continued to show Andy the facilities at the training base along the way.

"By the way, Andy, according to your physical examination report, you are in good shape and exercise regularly during the holidays?" Brian Kidd asked Andy.

"Yes, sir, I do 2 hours of training every day, and universities in the United States start training in August, but now I'm playing football." Andy was also a little amused by the wonder of fate, he went to the United States to play football, and he was ready to go to college and continue to play football, and now he is playing football again.

No matter what sport I play, I always want to be the best I can be, and Andy reinforces his confidence.

"You are absolutely right to play football, as long as you keep going, you will succeed."

Brian Kidd doesn't want this young man to give up, he wants to develop a star.

"In that case, you don't have to go to the first team now, let's go to the reserves and tell me what we've found." Brian Kidd is a little looking forward to waiting for Andy's answer.

On the training ground of the reserve team, a group of players are conducting tactical training, and figures on the grass are fighting for the future.

Andy and Brian Kidd stood on the sidelines and watched, and the players on the field also spotted the two of them, but immediately continued to play meticulously under the coach's instructions.

Time passed quickly, an hour passed in a flash, and Andy stood on the sidelines for an hour of observation.

Brian Kidd didn't say a word and stood with Andy for an hour until the end of the game.

"Sir, I don't know what you're telling me to watch, I just think a few guys played well and the game went smoothly."

Andy looked at it for 1 hour and was confused, and asked Brian Kidd next to him a little inexplicably.

Brian Kidd was a little disappointed, but it would have been a failure to think that the lad had taken a three-year hiatus from football training, and that United's consistent tactics had been seen through.

"Did you notice their movements?" Brian Kidd said in a casual way.

Andy tried his best to recall it in his mind, and his memory was quite good, and he tried his best to replay the picture of the confrontation just now in his mind.

"Sir, I think they're all running very aggressively, they're all very physical, they keep running with or without the ball at their feet, and they're very well connected, like when I was playing rugby, the quarterback as the midfield commander had a receiver around him." Andy expressed his feelings a little confused.

"Yes, you can see so much just by watching a game, and that's what I want to tell you, that's what we play at Manchester United players of all ages, and you find that no matter which player the ball is at the feet of any player on the field, there will be two players next to him to form a triangle with him, so that no matter which direction the ball goes, it can form a fluid attack and defense, this is our Manchester United running system without the ball, if you want to play at Manchester United, you have to be familiar with this system." Brian Kidd is very happy for Andy's ball quotient, knowing that he created the off-ball running system.

Andy then understood the significance of Brian Kidd taking him to watch the game, and after being thoroughly pointed out, he found that Manchester United is worthy of being a giant team, once such a system is formed, once the young players enter the senior team, there is no so-called run-in period. …,

"Okay, I'll train you for the next two months, now let's go to the first team and get to know your teammates."

Brian Kidd was very happy to take Andy to the first team's training ground after he had clicked it out.

"Guys, we've got a new guy on the team, let's give him a round of applause!" Brian Kidd stood on the grass and clapped his palms.

Scattered applause rang out.

"Hello everyone, I'm Andy Chen, British, the position is a striker, it's nice to meet you." Andy has no stage fright to deal with this kind of scene like you.

Someday everyone will remember my name! Andy swore in his heart.

"Hello, I'm Roy Keane, captain of the team, and welcome to you." An equally tall man held out his hand.

Subsequently, Andy got to know each other with the team members one by one.

"Andy Cole, also British, I'm Big Andy, you're Little Andy, haha." A very cheerful black player laughed and joked with him.

"Nicky Bart is also British, and you're really strong." A young man who didn't look very old slapped Andy on the chest.

Andy's personality is originally quite cheerful, as long as you treat him kindly, he is definitely not a difficult person to get along with, and in the following he has communicated with Giggs, Scholes, Gary Neville, Philip Neville, David May, and Johansen.

In the following time, he started basic training alone under the stern eyes of Brian Kidd, you must know that he has not played a game for three years after all, although he usually runs down with the ball or something, but after all, the skill at his feet has regressed a lot.

It is impossible for people to reach the sky in one step, and if you want to become a hot star, of course, you must start step by step, don't be ambitious, and you can't be arrogant.

Andy knew very well what the difficulties he was going to face and what his current level was, so he enthusiastically devoted himself to the training that he had been familiar with since childhood, and in the depths of his mind and body, the familiar memories and feelings slowly came to him.
