After all was said and done, Mendes arranged for Levi to stay temporarily in a hotel in downtown Manchester, not too far from Carrington's training ground.

After all, finding a suitable place to live is not something that can be done in a day or two.

At the same time, Levi did not have the means to travel for the time being, so he arranged a driver to pick him up, and the busy agent hurried back to Lisbon overnight.

Levi's salary has been agreed with Manchester United to be negotiated after the friendlies.

At the moment, the most important thing for Mendes is the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo.

He must urge the Portuguese star to show a more determined attitude towards leaving.

The next day, early in the morning.

Ferguson habitually arrived at the training ground early, when it was just dawn, the forest around Carrington was still shrouded in the thick morning fog of the British morning, and a thin layer of water vapor spread from the lawn.

Normally, at this time, there is no one on the training ground.

The godfather of Manchester United would always walk a few laps along the 'city' he had guarded for 22 years before heading for breakfast.

Carrington's buildings and facilities are constantly being renovated, with active players coming and going, many wearing red jerseys and new feats, many fading away from the mainstream game, and some taking pictures forever in black.

Ferguson used to walk through the lonely pitch and always felt like a silent grave keeper.

At the same time, he also felt that he was slowly aging.

But today, a young and vivid shadow appeared on the training ground, wearing a brand new Manchester United training uniform, running along the track in circles.

Ferguson rubbed his eyes, hiding behind the shadow of a building, and looked a little distracted.

After a long time, Levi completed his habitual physical training.

Suddenly, he looked around to find the football and equipment for training, but as a newcomer, he was clearly "lost" in Manchester United's training camp.

After a long time, there was the sound of footsteps behind Ferguson, and the staff in charge of the equipment obviously did not expect players to come to training so early, and were taken aback.

"Shh

Ferguson raised his index finger and motioned for the staff to silence.

Levi, who couldn't find the equipment, had to do a relaxation exercise to keep his muscles in good condition, and then decided to go for breakfast first.

Suddenly, he felt a figure coming behind him, and he was about to turn around.

A soccer ball was thrown from behind him and jumped in front of him, and Levi subconsciously picked it up with his foot and tossed it twice.

"Turn the ball back."

The old voice sounded, and Ferguson was standing not far away, smiling at him.

“BOSS？ Good morning! ”

Levi was a little stunned, and then realized that Ferguson was going to play a game of juggling with him.

Although the old man was also a professional player when he was young, he has been retired for thirty-four years, is it really a big husband to play this old man?

But he still hurriedly pushed with the arch of his foot, controlling the force as much as possible, so that Ferguson could be comfortable next.

Unexpectedly, the old man's basic skills were still maintained well, and he stopped the ball steadily, and then tossed it a few times.

But in the end, because of old age and unsuitable shoes, his movements were a little deformed, and the football fell to the ground.

He laughed.

"Football is a game for young people after all."

He said, looking at Levi with satisfaction.

The first to arrive at the training ground was Gary Neville, the captain of Manchester United and one of the representatives of the "Golden Generation of '92".

He and his younger brother Phil Neville were once known as Manchester United's Neville brothers, but after 10 years at Manchester United, the latter moved to Everton due to the gradual loss of his place in the main team, and became the new captain of the "Toffee".

Since then, the scene of the two brothers playing together as captains in the game between Manchester United and Everton has also become a good story in the Premier League.

Gary Neville was not tall, with a thin face, round eyes under rich eyebrows, and a faint beard on his lips.

"Come here, Gary."

"I'm going to introduce you to a new member, his name is Levi. As you can see, he is a hardworking boy and very talented, and he will fight with you from now on. ”

"At the same time, I need you to introduce him to other people and not bully him."

Ferguson introduces Gary Neville to Levy.

Manchester United's old fritters sometimes make some "jokes" with newcomers, and Ferguson has heard of it for a long time.

After that, Ferguson left the pitch.

"Okay, Levi."

Gary Neville was a little surprised that he knew the news of the rookie signing.

But I didn't expect to meet Levi so early.

After all, one of the most famous traits of the United captain is his diligence and hard work, and he is almost always the first player to arrive on every training day.

In Manchester United's 92 class, Gary Neville is not amazing, and can even be said to be the least talented, but he has firmly occupied the main right-back position in Manchester United and England for many years with his own efforts.

The hard work can be imagined.

"You're welcome."

"Thank you, Captain. I used to be on the TV end and marvel at your subtle defense. ”

Levi also behaved politely, reaching out at the same time as a small ass, and Gary Neville shook it hard, showing kindness.

Apparently it was very useful to Levi's words.

This is the biggest man in Manchester United's dressing room at the moment, and winning his favor has helped him a lot to integrate into Manchester United quickly.

The two exchanged for a while, and then began to warm up with a simple ball.

"Hey, boy. Let me see what you're capable of. ”

Gary Neville shouted loudly, "How about playing one-on-one?" ”

Levi was stunned, and then unambiguous, a regular touch of the ball at his feet approached Neville.

Neville raised a confident smile at the corner of his mouth, sinking his body, and his steps changed regularly with Levi's movements.

Suddenly, he noticed that Levi had a soft sound of starting, and decisively broke it with his foot.

Levi made an abrupt stop, flicked the outside of his right foot, and changed direction again.

Neville didn't shake and followed again.

Levi buckled it again, flicked his feet back and forth, and a beautiful croquette passed Neville.

"No, no."

The Manchester United captain, who felt his face was gloomy, muttered: "I didn't warm up just now, from now on." ”

The two again had a one-on-one marking.

This time, after a feint, Levi wore the crotch past Neville.

"You're on a big trip! There is no point in passing like this! ”

Neville began to teach.

For the third time, Levi turned backwards to see Neville's tackle, wiped the soles of his feet, and passed again.

This time Neville didn't speak again, just looked around the training ground.

Fortunately, there was no one, otherwise the other team members would have seen themselves being treated like this by a new player.

It's going to be called Highway 2.

Gary Neville is old and not a few years away from his retirement.

"Are you hungry? Captain. ”

Levi didn't want to go any further, and asked cautiously, "I think it must be because of an empty stomach, or let's go to dinner first." ”

"One last time, I won't believe it!"

Unconvinced, Neville asks Levi to "humiliate" himself one last time.

This time Levi was extraordinarily focused, and after making a few exaggerated feints, Gary Neville saw the timing and shoveled the ball off Levy's feet.

"Woohoo!"

Gary Neville finally let out a bad breath.

"The captain shoveled so beautifully! It's really a sword that doesn't grow old. ”

Faced with Gary Neville's outstretched palm, Levi gave him a high-five.

In his first training session at Manchester United, he barely managed to stand on his feet.

Next, if he wants to get on his feet, he will have to show enough to conquer his coach, his teammates and the millions of fans.

Later, the two went to the cafeteria to eat, and they were joined by a small, stocky, squint-eyed Asian.

Without Gary Neville's introduction, Levi also knows that this person is a South Korean Manchester United midfielder, the "Park Sam Lung" who can't run to death, and Park Ji-sung, the current first person in Asia.

Park Ji-sung's personality is relatively low-key and introverted, he doesn't talk much, and he doesn't have the strict concept of superiority and inferiority of Koreans.

If he had, Levi wouldn't be used to him.

The two nodded and chatted for a few words, which can be regarded as a preliminary acquaintance.

It wasn't until around eight o'clock that the rest of the United players arrived.

With his iconic ginger head, Scholes is small but athletic.

Manchester United's windswept Welsh wing, Ryan Giggs.

With deep eyes and a fierce face, Carlos Tevez, the famous "beast" of a Shanghai club in later generations.

has just transferred to Manchester United, and the "dashing brother" Berbatov who has a shiny back and a separate head.

Manchester United goalkeepers Edwin van der Sar, Simpson, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Evans, Patrice Evra, Gibson, O'Shea, Fletcher, Nani, Campbell...

and another Asian that Li Wei is very familiar with - Dong Fangzhuo.

Dong Fangzhuo, who had already learned that another Chinese had joined Manchester United, behaved very friendly, and the two quickly struck up a conversation.

Dong Fangzhuo mentioned the upcoming Olympic Games several times in his words, and his tone was very proud and excited.

But Li Wei knew that in order to be able to fulfill his dream of participating in the Beidu Olympics, Dong Fangzhuo, who had injured his knee meniscus and cruciate ligament, chose conservative treatment, missed the best time for treatment, and was closed.

As a result, after the Olympics, the injury worsened and affected his entire career.

In the end, he had to join Dalian Shide and return to the Chinese Super League.

"I have time to go back to China and have a look! Our country is building quite well. Dong Fangzhuo said.

Levi nodded and smiled.

Chinese will always subconsciously confuse the concepts of Chinese, Chinese and overseas Chinese.

In the final analysis, what connects these concepts is the bond called 'descendants of Yan and Huang'.

"I'll go back when I have time."

Levi suddenly didn't know what to say, so he could only nod his head.

The two had their own thoughts, and they chatted briefly for a while, and the training time was about to come.

"When you come to Manchester United, you will develop well." Dong Fangzhuo said.

"I wish you the first goal at the Olympics."

The two smiled.

United's iconic second players, Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick, were absent due to injury.

Norwegian Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who announced his retirement as early as August last year and joined the Manchester United coaching staff, also came to the training ground as a player.

The warm-up match against Espanyol two days later was also a farewell game for the Manchester United decorated veteran.

Some came, some left.

Manchester United is still Manchester United.
