Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

"Can any player in the youth team do?"

Lu Wei pretended to be casual and said casually.

"Hmm... Except for one person.

Juliosis shook his head, Lu Wei was a little disappointed, but soon, Juliasis said a name that made him a little unfamiliar.

"Grady Dean Garner, other youth players besides him, you can pick at your disposal."

Lu Wei's heart instantly blossomed, since he was not the person I wanted, then what was there to hesitate. Bowen is very good now, and his potential is very high, but in any case, he is only a marginal figure in the English national team, and no matter how strong he is, he cannot compare with the soul of the future Hammers.

"Okay, I promised."

Lu Wei took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shake Hulosis, the cheerful attitude made Juliosis a little puzzled, feeling that he had done something wrong, but soon put it to the back of his mind, after Payet left the club at odds, West Ham urgently needed someone who could stabilize the front court, Bowen just met their requirements, and was young enough, but also an investment in the future.

After making an appointment with Hollyusis to go to West Ham United youth the next day, Lu Wei took Blake from London and lay down in bed to start reminiscing about Declan. Everything about Rice.

Declan. Rice, born in London on January 14, 1999, joined the Chelsea Academy in 2007, and was abandoned by the Chelsea Academy in 2014 due to Rice's slow physical growth, and then West Ham United sent Rice a trial invitation, Rice passed the trial and joined the West Ham United team.

In the 17-18 season, he entered the West Ham United first team, gradually replaced Reid as the team's main central defender in the second half of the season, and after becoming the head coach of West Ham United in the 18-19 season, Rice was transformed into a back, and since then he has become the core figure and soul captain of the Hammers, and by the time Lu Wei crossed, Rice had become the world's most expensive back.

Lu Wei was also doubting at first whether he could take Rice away from West Ham, because there have been many news of Rice's transfer in the next few years, but he has always stayed at West Ham.

But after thinking about the current situation of West Ham United, Lu Wei also understood that West Ham United manager LaVine. Bilić is not a person who trusts young players very much, and he values the abilities of his players up front and rarely makes adjustments to his backcourt personnel, and Rice's rise to West Ham came after Bilić's departure.

(This Bilic is not the same Bilic from the Croatian national team in '18.)

Although West Ham successfully qualified for the Europa League qualifying round after finishing seventh in the Premier League last season, it was a bit humiliating to not even make it to the group stage, and coupled with the conflict within the club such as Ayu and Payet, West Ham United's recent situation is really bad, and Bilic urgently needs some opportunities to prove his ability to coach in the top flight.

In such an environment, Rice's inconspicuous young defender naturally can't enter Billich's eyes, and he can see Rice's precious jade David. Moyes and Pellegrini didn't know him yet.

For a young player, no matter how much he likes this club, but if he doesn't have a chance to play in the club, he probably won't stay in the club all the time, Rice is now at the age where he can play for the first team and will definitely be looking forward to an opportunity to reach his potential.

Lu Wei brought this opportunity, and early the next morning, Lu Wei and Blake came to West Ham United's youth academy as scheduled, waiting for them not only West Ham United's sporting director Juliasis, but also West Ham United manager Bilic was also there.

"I'm afraid I'm going to take the person he fancy, but the current West Ham United is not the West Ham United of ten years ago, and there is really no one other than Rice who can take the shot."

Lu Wei thought so in his heart, shook hands with Bilic with a smile on his face, and after a few brief conversations, Hulosis led everyone to the training ground of the youth team.

"Now the first team has been disbanded and on leave, but the youth team still has training, they will not start the holiday in a few days, today is the last day of youth team training, Mr. Lu, you are very lucky, if it is one day later, I am afraid that our cooperation will be ruined."

Lu Wei smiled awkwardly, don't say that you are on vacation, we are also on vacation, even if you don't look at Rice after returning from vacation, he will come to our Red Rebels sooner or later.

'The young people at West Ham are great lads, and if it weren't for Bowen's youth, I wouldn't be willing to use their people to join the deal, no way, what they lack right now is experience, and Bowen is more experienced and better than them.

Juliosis said as he walked.

Lu Wei smiled and did not speak, Bowen transferred to FC United in the past four seasons, although only last season because of the departure of Gnabry and Michu to establish his main position, but his previous opportunities to play are not few, two years of the Championship, one year of League One and almost the entire season of League Two, Bowen's experience is naturally not comparable to those hairy boys in the ordinary youth team.

Moreover, Bowen can play in all positions on the left, center and right in the front court, such people even in the big teams have people to want, West Ham United although they still have to spend 15 million pounds in transfer fees, then they also feel that this deal has picked up a big bargain.

"This is the training ground of the youth team, I don't know if Mr. Lu has known our youth team members before, but I heard that many young players of FC United were promoted to the first team by you, I think it is up to you to select players on the spot and see how you see it, this is not too much to ask."

In front of a pitch surrounded by barbed wire, Juliasis stopped and pointed to a group of young players sweating inside.

"Of course not, I'm confident in my vision."

Lu Wei said with a smile on his face, in fact, his stomach is about to hurt with laughter, I don't need to have any eyes, I just need to find out who is Declan. Rice will do.

Soon, Lu Wei found Rice in the crowd, 1.85 meters tall in the guards, not very strong, but the handsome face is still quite conspicuous in a bunch of hairy boys.

Lu Wei pretended to look at it for a while and pointed at Rice nonchalantly.

"That kid is a centre-back, we have two centre-backs leaving the squad and need a young substitute, so let's add him first."

Juliosis and Bilic were relieved to see that the people Lu Wei had selected were not the players they were nervous about, and Juliosis hurriedly introduced Rice's situation to Lu Wei.

"Declan. Rice, 18 years old, has been in our youth team for three years, is a defender, don't look at his stature, but he is very flexible on his feet, his technique is very good, and his sense of interception selection is also very strong, oh, Mr. Lu, your vision is really poisonous, and you immediately selected the best player in our youth team. "

Huluosis is afraid that Lu Wei will regret it, and hurriedly praised Rice's advantages, he didn't know how Rice played, usually rarely paid attention to the youth team, and saw that Lu Wei picked him and casually talked about the advantages of some defenders, so that Lu Wei quickly decided Bowen's transfer, and it was very good that he could know the name of this young player.

"Then I can choose him, you said yesterday that anyone can do it."

"Of course you can, of course you can, our club is true to its word, so let's go and talk to him on behalf of the club about the situation, but he has already signed a formal contract with the club, if he is not willing to leave, we can't force him, I'm afraid Mr. Lu you will pick another player."

Juliasis quickly waved his hand and said.

"Don't pick it, it's him, I don't need anything else, it's really not okay to add a transfer fee."

Lu Wei said casually.

Juliosis was choked and didn't know what to say, the current West Ham United youth training is indeed not as brilliant as before, Lu Wei also watched for ten minutes, there is really no one to see the situation before choosing Rice, but also only as a supplement to the team's lineup, and he has said it yesterday, if this can't be done, it will be too insincere, so he nodded to Lu Wei.

"Okay, I'll try to convince him, then Bowen's transfer..."

"No problem, £15 million plus this kid, I don't want anything anymore, I hope our two clubs can have a good relationship, and there will be more places to cooperate in the future."

With a happy face, Juliosis and Bilic entertained Lu Wei out of the club, and when the training was over, they went to the youth team to find Declan. Rice.
