On the evening of August 31, Chen Zhun saw a news that had already been made public. Everton's talented teenager Wayne Rooney has officially joined Manchester United. The transfer fee will reach a maximum of £27 million, and Wayne Rooney has signed a six-year deal with Manchester United until 30 June 2010. Chen Zhun looked at this news and felt that history was still slowly proceeding according to the time arrangement. So far, there have been no substantial changes to any other team, except for their own team. This is what Chen Zhun is pleased with, he doesn't want to cross over by himself, and casually brings the butterfly effect over.

On September 1, Chen Zhun received a call from Rudick as soon as he woke up in the morning. Rudick told Chen's scouts to report to him all the player profiles for the month, and that a lot of young players were found in need during the month. Chen Zhun immediately got up after hearing this, and told Rudick to go to the training base quickly, and he wanted to see the players in the report. Chen Zhun waited for a month today, feeling that the memories of his past life were finally going to come in handy.

Chen Zhun had breakfast and drove to the training base. It's dawn and people on the streets have come out to start their day. When Chen Zhun arrived at the base, it was just seven o'clock.

The doorman also looked at Chen Zhun with worried eyes, and said, "It's strange today, early in the morning, first it was Rod, and now it's David." What a workaholic. Can't you let me squint!! ā€

Chen Zhun arrived at the office and saw that Rudick had been waiting for a long time.

"Rudy, you came before me!" Chen Zhun quipped.

"I'm excited, too! It's all genius! It's all genius! Rudy Roddick said excitedly with the report in his hand.

Chen Zhun said with a smile while opening the door: "I want to see all those superstars inside!"

Chen Zhun was shocked after reading the first scouting report on France. The opportunity in this report includes all the post-80s French stars in the future. The players featured in this report are goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, 17, who plays for Nice, France. Centre-back Laurent Koscielny. At the age of 19, he played for Guingamp in France, where Koscielny was still playing at right-back. Right-back Matthew Debichy, 19, plays for French team Lille. High school striker Olivier Giroud, 18, who was playing for Grenoble at the time, and defender Johan Cabaye, 18, who was also playing for Lille in France along with Debich.

The five French players, who were young at the time, were considered by scouts to be a good fit for Southampton's tactical system.

Chen Zhun still has some regrets after watching these players, and in his memory, the French team is far more than these talented players. Especially the French four little swans who are famous in European football in the 04 European Youth Championship or the left-sided killer Franck Ribery, Chen Zhun is now in an unattainable state for them, and now Southampton's popularity cannot impress these hot European stars. Of course, for Chen Zhun, the five players on the report are already very satisfied.

The second report that Chen Zhun saw was from Belgium. The report is also star-studded, with the first player being Vincent Kompany, the current captain of Manchester City and Belgium. He was 18 years old at the time, but he was already playing for Anderlecht in the second year in the Belgian League and even the Champions League. The second player who also shocked Chen was Kompany's teammate, Yaya Toure, a 21-year-old who was playing for Ukraine's Donetsk Gilt Club at the time. The scout's recommendation was due to the fact that he had seen a video of Yaya Toure playing in Belgium and intuitively felt that the player had a lot of potential. The rest of the squad also included Kompany's team-mate at the time, right-back Anthony van den Bore, centre-back Laurent Seaman at Charleroi FC and centre-back Nicolas Lombard at Gent.

The third is the scouting report from the Netherlands. The report is valid for 18-year-old Belgian centre-back Thomas Vermaelen of Eredivisie club Waalwijk, 21-year-old striker "Ruud van Nistelrooy II" Klaas Huntelaar for Heerenveen, 20-year-old striker Wesley Sneijder for Ajax, 19-year-old Niguez de Jong, also for Ajax, and 24-year-old striker Dirk Kuyt for Feyenoord.

The fourth is a scouting report from Spain. The players in this report also shocked Chen Zhun. Miguel Arteta, a 22-year-old defender who plays for Real Sociedad, David Silva, an 18-year-old striker who plays for Eibar, Daniel Guiza, a 24-year-old striker who plays for Murcia City, Santo Diego Cazorla, a 19-year-old winger who plays for Villarreal, and Gabi, a 21-year-old midfielder who plays for Getafe.

The fifth report is from Poland and there are only two players in it, but these two players are the pride of Polish football. One is 18-year-old right winger Yakubu Blaszczykowski and the other is 16-year-old striker Robert Lewandowski.

The sixth report came from Germany, where scouts reported only one player, Mesut Ozil, a 16-year-old who played for Red and White Essen. The scouting report meant to act immediately as Schalke 04 club was also watching him. Chen Zhun couldn't help but tremble when he saw this.

Rod Rudick's England player report was also presented in front of Chen Zhun's eyes. 23-year-old left-back Nikki Shorey for Championship side Reading, 23-year-old left-back Martin Koncheski for Charlton Athletic, 25-year-old right-back Luke Young for Charlton Athletic, 20-year-old centre-back Michael Dawson for Nottingham Forest, 25-year-old Matthew Upson for Birmingham City, 17-year-old goalkeeper Joe Hart for Shesbury, 19-year-old Curtis Davies for Luton Town centre-back, 22-year-old centre-back Phil Jagielka, who plays for Sheffield United.

After reading all the lists and their details, Chen Zhun let out a long sigh of relief and found that two hours had passed. What he saw was the results of a month of searching by Southampton scouts, and he was once again impressed by Southampton's scouting system. Many of the future stars who were still playing in the lower leagues at the time were spotted by scouts. After watching so many stars, he also has a sense of dƩjƠ vu playing FM Football Manager games, in fact, he also borrowed his own game mode from doing so.

Chen Zhun asked Rudick, who was sitting on the side: "Rod, tell me what you think of the scouting report." ā€

Rudick started to get serious: "Based on the current situation of our team, the current squad is on the older side, and we are eager to develop a new generation of young players, especially in the back line. I've been looking for malleable talent for Southampton at major clubs in England for the past month. I think the most promising players in my scouting report are left-back Nikki Shorey and centre-back Michael Dawson. ā€

Chen Zhun remembers these two players. Nicky Shorey, once England's left-back hope, has a magical left foot and made a name for himself in Reading. Michael Dawson, an excellent academy product of Nottingham Forest, and later moved to Tottenham Hotspur. But both of them were defeated by one thing, which was injury. Too many injuries have caused the two to never reach the highest peak, which is really regrettable.

Chen Zhun affirmed his idea; "Okay, you focus on these two players. The others are Joe Hart and Luke Young from Shakesbury. ā€

"Okay, head!"

'You go to work, let your scouts continue to scout these players, continue to investigate the situation of these players at the club, and continue to look for talent in their respective countries.'
