At about 10 o'clock the next morning, Xiao Yu, accompanied by Boyas and Raymond, came to Arena de Mar, a small town more than 40 kilometers north of Barcelona.

Originally Jose? Diaz planned to meet in Barcelona, but Xiao Yu heard that Fabregas had classes in the afternoon, so he offered to come to Arena de Mar to meet, which immediately gave Fabregas a very good first impression, which shows that Xiao Yu attaches great importance to him.

It is a small place, close to the sea, with a highway running north and south from outside the town, which is then connected by a main road, which is lined with a commercial district.

At the three-way intersection in the south of the town where you can see the sea, in an antique castle-style coffee house, Xiao Yu saw Fabregas who had just finished class, his body looked a little thin, but his eyes were bright.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao Yu!" He said breathlessly.

Xiao Yu smiled, "Is your school far from here?" Running all the way? ”

Fabregas nodded: "It's a bit far, I'm worried about being late, so hurry up, who knows, or let you wait!" ”

"It's okay, oh, by the way, I heard you prefer people to call you Sesk, right?"

"It's okay, Mr. Xiao Yu, that's the nickname my friend gave me!" Cesc Fabregas responded politely.

Xiao Yu remembers that the first time he heard the name Fabregas in his previous life was at the World Junior Championships in Finland in August this year, Fabregas scored 5 goals and contributed 6 assists in that World Junior Championship, and was the best player and the Golden Boot Award.

It wasn't until later, after learning about Fabregas, that Xiao Yu found out that Sesk was just his nickname, and his full name was Francesco? Cesc Fabregas.

"Sesque, I'll be honest with you, we've been following you for a long time, you know we're still in League One this year, but we've basically secured a place for direct promotion, so I can say with a pretty certain amount that we're in the Premier League next season!" Xiao Yu introduced lightly.

When he returned home last night, Fabregas used his computer to investigate the Red Rebels and learn about the history of this team, and he knew the causes and consequences of Xiao Yu's establishment of this team, as well as the development of this team in the past few years.

Although Xiao Yu said plainly at this moment, in Fabregas's mind, after a little recollection, it is not difficult to realize the bitterness in it, to be able to establish a team in just a few years, from the tenth division of England all the way to the Premier League, how many storms and waves need to be experienced, how many tests need to be experienced.

But now the man in front of him is talking so plainly, as if those things are really nothing to him!

"I know, Sesque, there are a lot of teams that fancy you, you are a very talented young man, you deserve the attention of these teams, even Manchester United and Arsenal, I also know that many of them will make a lot of promises to you, give you some hope, but I want to say, if you think, I can also give you some promises, guarantee that when you join the Red Rebels, you will be able to play in the main team, then I'm sorry, I won't!"

Xiao Yu's words surprised several people present, especially Cesc Fabregas.

Since they refused to give me a promise, then why should I join a team in League One and leave the super giants Barcelona?

"Have you heard of Arjan? Robben? Xiao Yu asked very jumpingly.

Cesc Fabregas nodded, a rising star who was once favored by countless people, but suddenly joined the Red Rebels last summer, and Eindhoven's general manager Arneson once broke the news in the media, saying that the Red Rebels gave Robben's agent a large sum of money and offered him a high contract salary.

Since the Red Rebels are a private club and do not need to disclose their financial status to the public, everyone is guessing how high the salary Xiao Yu gave Robben, but they have never been able to get an answer.

"Some people say that I offered Robben a sky-high contract, that's stupid, money can really buy a lot of talented stars like Robben, but I never like to use money, what really impressed Robben was our plan for him, he was still young at the time, what he needed was growth and improvement, and we had a good plan for that."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yu paused deliberately, "So you can find that after Robben transferred to the Red Rebels, he did not become the absolute main force, he could not play in every game, because that was not cultivating him and reusing him, but killing his future, he was still young, his growth was not complete, and overuse was tantamount to exhausting his career in advance." ”

"Then there's Curtis, he's our vice-captain, but you can see that he can't play all the games, he's in very good physical condition, but we still give him a rule on how many games he can play in a month, how many games in a row he has to rest, etc., these are all for his future, we have a scientific and rigorous team to help the players."

When Xiao Yu said this, everyone immediately understood what he meant, he was reminding Fabregas, not to mention whether the teams that promised him could fulfill it, even if it really fulfilled it in full, it would not be of any benefit to him.

He's only 16 years old and all he needs to think about is growth and progress, which requires a lot of work, but in moderation!

"We have a double midfielder, one of the playmakers is the only one in Juninho, we need to find a substitute for him, our scouting department is very optimistic about you, I think you will definitely not lose to Juninho in the future, but that is in the future, at least for now, you still need to learn and improve!"

"At Red Rebels, we have a professional, scientific, rigorous training and reinforcement program for every young player, and Essien, Curtis and others have grown up in this situation, and they will continue to grow, you see, now these players are all very strong and they have made a name for themselves, and the same is true of several of our new young players last year, as well as Messi and Ismael in our Academy."

"In terms of the importance and cultivation of young players, and the manpower and material resources spent in this area, I dare say that we Red Rebels will not lose to any team, even the big clubs, but we are not the kind of team that simply develops young players and then sells them for money, so you can see that our team has always been very competitive, and this year we are still trying to win the League One, FA Cup and League Cup, and we are likely to be the treble!"

'We value the academy, we value the development of young players, but we have never been a team that gives unrealistic promises and ends up being irresponsible, I spoke to our manager and the only guarantee we can give you is that when you join the team, we will be responsible for you, you will be in the first team, but you can only start from the bench, but we will develop Arjan? Robben, Cristiano? Ronaldo and Curtis? Davis and the others nurture you like that! ”

Xiao Yu's words are undoubtedly very honest, at least more realistic than those teams who have given Fabregas a lot of extravagant promises, and any team that wants to achieve results will not let a young man under the age of 16 sit as the absolute main force.

Cesc Fabregas has also read and he knows how to think, so he knows that Xiao Yu is right about developing young players, although young people do need games to develop their skills, but that has to be moderate.

Looking at the team that admires Cesc Fabregas now, Manchester United, Arsenal and other giants are undoubtedly unable to give him the main force, at most, they will ensure that they will focus on cultivating him, ensuring that he can be promoted to the first team within two or three years, etc., and at the same time signing a professional contract with him, so that he is more at ease than staying at Barcelona.

And those teams that can ensure that he enters the first team basically start from the bench, but when it comes to the development and attention of young players, as well as the planning of players, I believe that the Red Rebels are the best in this regard.

The Red Rebels' academy is well-known in England, especially for their emphasis on young players.

Seeing that Fabregas was still a little hesitant, Xiao Yu knew that this was a very good phenomenon, which proved that Fabregas was thinking about it, and the Red Rebels still had many opportunities.

"Maybe you're not comfortable with what you're saying to me, but that's okay, I'd like to invite you, your family, your agent, to take a walk around Manchester, the Newton Heath training base and the construction site of our new stadium, which is a testament to our ambition as a club."

Cesc Fabregas immediately remembered some of the comments he had seen on the internet that the Red Rebels' new stadium budget was as high as £250 million, which would be enough to buy a top Premier League team.

From this point, you can see Xiao Yu's financial resources and his determination to run this team!

"yes, Sesk, I also think you should go and see for yourself, whether it works out or not!" Diaz also advised.

Fabregas thought about it for a moment and nodded, "Okay then, I'll be free tomorrow!" ”

Xiao Yu slapped his palm vigorously, "That's too coincidental, tomorrow night we have a key game, home to Portsmouth, it is a battle to decide the title of this season's League One, you can go to Old Trafford to watch the game in person!" ”

After hearing this, Fabregas was also a little excited, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Xiao Yu also immediately finalized the matter, immediately called back to Manchester, and asked the staff to help Fabregas and Diaz book tickets between Manchester and Barcelona, and also let people book a room in the Manchester hotel.

These are all details, but it can be seen from this that Xiao Yu attaches great importance to Fabregas.

This made Fabregas feel a warmth, at least from Xiao Yu, what he saw was respect and attention, but in Barcelona, they didn't give him these, the only bond between him and Barcelona was his affection for Barcelona since he was a child.

But this is a very real world, who still believes in feelings unconditionally?

Maybe one day, when the Red Rebels meet Barcelona, Cesc Fabregas will completely cut off this affection for Barcelona and become a diehard loyalist of the Red Rebels.

After agreeing with Xiao Yu at the moment, Fabregas went to Manchester early the next morning, accompanied by his agent, and the Red Rebels asked Jim to pick them up at the airport in person, and then took them to the construction site of the Red Rebels Stadium, and then went to the Newton Heath training base.

Despite coming from Barcelona, Cesc Fabregas was amazed by the Red Rebels' home ground and training base.

He had a brief conversation with manager Jose Mourinho at noon, who invited him to watch the game at Old Trafford, and Cesc Fabregas agreed!
