host must win

Chapter 264 Magic Bird and Xiao Dong
Just over half of the schedule, Chelsea has fallen behind the leader Manchester United by as much as 14 points. This undoubtedly completely declares that the Blues have withdrawn from the competition for the league title this season.After all, everyone knows that Manchester United has always had a tradition of performing better in the second half than in the first half, otherwise they would not have had the experience of reversing and winning the championship six times in the second half.

After the Russian tycoon bought Chelsea in the summer, he invested more than [-] million pounds in signings. Naturally, the purpose was to compete for the league championship.But now that the team is playing like this, someone has to be responsible for it.

So, on the next morning, Chelsea coach Ranieri, who had been frequently reported to be dismissed from get out of class, was officially announced to dismiss get out of class, and the Blues also announced the team's new coach: from the Portuguese Super League giant Porto Portugal coach Jose Mourinho!
As soon as the Blue Army announced the dismissal of the coach, they announced the candidate for the new coach. Obviously, they had planned for the coaching change, otherwise it would not be possible to determine the new coach so quickly.

When Yin Jun heard the news, he was a little confused: Mourinho came to Chelsea earlier?
After repeatedly confirming the authenticity of the news, Yin Jun's mood was very complicated.Mourinho left Porto early, so Manchester United's prospects in the Champions League may change, maybe they will not be eliminated in the round of [-], but after coming to Chelsea, Mourinho will definitely bring great benefits to the Premier League. A big impact, and even have a huge impact on the trend of this season.

However, Yin Jun didn't think much about it, because he was just a player, as long as he played his own ball well.As for the impact of Mourinho's entry into Stamford Bridge in advance, that should be a question for people like Ferguson and Wenger to consider.

………………

January 2004, 1, the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the Chinese lunar calendar, is a Saturday.

On this day, a guest came to Yin Jun's house.

Unlike ordinary guests, this guest is a Chinese, a compatriot of Yin Jun, Xiao Dong from Binhai City in the northeast of China, and also the first player Manchester United will introduce in this winter transfer window.

In fact, this is not Xiao Dong's first visit to Yin Jun's house.When he went to Manchester United for trial training years ago, he had already visited Yin Jun's house.

Now, though, he's a different character, and he's about to become a Manchester United player.

According to the news released to the outside world, Manchester United also spent 350 million pounds to win the Chinese player who is the same age as Yin Jun.Now in 2004, this is not a small number for a young player.It is not difficult to see that Manchester United is optimistic about Xiao Dong.

In fact, Yin Jun also thinks that his compatriot's physical condition is very good, and it can even be said to be the first-class level among his peers.He has only turned 19 in two weeks. He already has a height of 1.8 meters and a weight of 78 kilograms. In addition, he has good explosive and jumping abilities.

Yin Jun has paid attention to his trial training at Manchester United. Except for his rough skills, his physical condition can be said to be not inferior to him and Ronaldo at all.

………………

Estimating the time, Yin Jun greeted Xiao Dong outside his small villa. Seeing his taxi stop in front of his door, Yin Jun took the initiative to greet him and said, "Hi, Brother Dong, I am very happy to be with you." teammate."

Xiao Dong knew that Yin Jun was younger than him, but he was the number one star of the Manchester United team, the winner of the European Ballon d'Or last year, and a real world-class superstar, so he didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Yin Jun Jun's right hand, and said: "Thank you, Brother Jun can just call me Xiao Dong. Brother Jun is a senior who has studied abroad, please give me more guidance in the future."

"Help each other and work hard together." Yin Jun replied, and then led Xiao Dong into the house.

Due to Manchester United's current performance is good and the team's age structure is relatively reasonable, so this winter transfer window is not very strong, the most important thing is to renew the contract with Van Nistelrooy and Ruud van Nistelrooy, which is still under discussion, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Van Nistelrooy Ryan Giggs' agent has also been in Manchester these days.

According to some information obtained by Yin Jun, there are some problems in the contract renewal of the two.

Giggs is not satisfied with the length and salary of the contract extension proposed by the team.Because he turned 11 at the end of November last year, Manchester United provided him with a one-year contract as usual, and agreed to increase his weekly salary to 30 pounds. Level one.

However, Giggs believes that his physical condition is still very good, and he can definitely play for Manchester United for a longer time. He hopes to get a "3+1" contract. Time to retire.In addition, regarding salary, he hopes that he can be on par with captain Roy Keane, that is, get a weekly salary of 34 pounds.

The 27-year-old Ruud van Nistelrooy was at the peak of his career. Manchester United offered him a new four-year contract with a weekly salary of £4.For the contract period, Van Nistelrooy has no opinion, but he also hopes that his weekly salary can be equal to that of captain Keane.

Generally speaking, there will be no major problems in the contract renewal of the two, and both should be settled in January.

Because the main energy is concentrated on the renewal of the contract with Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ryan Giggs, so in this winter transfer window, Manchester United only introduced a new aid, Xiao Dong.

Moreover, even Xiao Dong, who has just joined the team, will not get a chance to play in Manchester United immediately.Because Xiao Dong has not yet obtained a labor certificate, he cannot represent Manchester United.

Although Xiao Dong has already been selected for Alihan's new national team, he is not considered the main force, and he has not reached the number of appearances required by the labor certification.

According to Manchester United's plan, Xiao Dong will be loaned to Manchester United's satellite club, Antwerp in the Belgian First Division, during this transfer window to accumulate game experience.

………………

Yin Jun had just returned home from the team's afternoon training, and didn't even enter the door.So after leading Xiao Dong in, Yin Jun also walked aside, and slowly took off the black sandbag worn on his calf, which was similar to knee pads.

These two sandbags were specially prepared for him by the Manchester United coaching staff. Each one weighs three kilograms, which is not heavy. It is mainly for him to practice on his own. As for the usual team training and the rest time after returning home, he must still use it. untied.

Xiao Dong was sitting in the living room, and when he saw Yin Jun untie the sandbag, he was somewhat puzzled.He thought it was some kind of protective gear like knee pads, but he didn't expect it to be a bit heavy. He immediately understood that it was a prop for training, and it must be used by Yin Jun to train his leg strength.

Thinking about it again, just now Yin Jun was wearing sandbags all the time, Xiao Dong was really impressed, and felt that his teammate could achieve today's results, which is not easy at all.

Realizing this, he completely suppressed the trace of pride in his heart.

Yin Jun is the same age as him, but he is already the winner of the European Ballon d'Or, and he still works so hard, so what right does he have to be proud of?
