Van Carrey arrived at Manchester International Airport, wearing a cap, and took a taxi to the Lowry Hotel, the club’s accommodation for him.

The Lowry Hotel is only an 11-minute drive from Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United, and a 20-minute drive from Carrington’s training base, so Manchester United signed a cooperation agreement with the Lowry Hotel early on, and will stay in this hotel before every home game, including Mkhitaryan and Ibrahimovic, who have not yet found a property after joining Manchester United.

And head coach Jose Mourinho lives in the hotel’s 90-square-meter suite with river views.

Getting back to business, Van Carrey reported the unit Manchester United and the name, and the eyes of the hotel front desk lit up, and then gave him a room card prepared in advance.

Of course, a group photo is also essential.

The first time he was invited by a fan, Van Carrey was a little gracious.

The house is a suite, he roughly calculated, about sixty square meters, it is also a river view suite, the comfort is very good, and he can’t help but marvel: “No wonder Mourinho doesn’t want to buy property in Manchester, living here is really comfortable, want any serious service just a phone call.” ”

The next morning, Van Carrey got up early and began a simple warm-up.

Two hundred sit-ups and a hundred push-ups.

It was only eight o’clock after breakfast, Manchester United training time began at nine thirty in the morning, and he was bored staying in the hotel, so he packed his bags and prepared to take a taxi to Carrington training base.

He walked to the lobby of the Lowry Hotel, and a big man with a short beard shouted: “Hey ~ Carrey? ”

Van Carrey turned his head and looked, this… Isn’t it new teammate Ibrahimovic?

He walked over with a smile and gave the other party a big hug: “Uncle Zlatan, hello.” ”

“Uncle Zlatan?”

Ibrahimovic froze, thinking that he was a full eighteen years older than Van Carrey, almost a generation behind, isn’t it also a normal title to call uncle?

He smiled and patted Van Carrey’s firm back: “Did you come back yesterday?” Why don’t you tell me? I’ll take you to Manchester’s nightlife. ”

“Hey~ It’s too late, so it didn’t bother you.”

Van Carrey casually found a reason, he was a twenty-four-year-old before crossing, 11 years younger than Ibrahimovic, there must be a generation gap between them, and it was always good to keep a little distance in life.

“Are you going to Carrington Training Base so early?”

Ibrahimovic asked.

“yes, what about you?”

“I’m also going to Carrington, you definitely don’t have a car when you first came to Manchester, by the way… You probably don’t even have a driver’s license now, take my car. ”

As he spoke, his thick and powerful right hand rested on Van Carrey’s shoulder.

The invitation was a little difficult, and Van Carrey took Ibrahimovic’s newly bought Volvo V90 to Carrington training base.

Who left him without a car and without a driver’s license?

Taxi costs money, free car, do not sit for nothing.

While driving, Ibrahimovic occasionally bragged about his past success, and if people he didn’t know heard this, he would be bragging.

After about fifteen minutes of driving, they passed by a magnificent training base, and Ibrahimovic introduced disdainfully: “Manchester City training base.” ”

Sure enough!

There is a very visible Manchester City club logo hanging on it.

About two minutes ahead, Ibrahimovic drove the Volvo left, and the car entered a small road, which was surrounded by greenery, beautiful and very secluded, and there was a clear road sign on the side of the road that showed “Carrington”.

There are no iconic buildings around, but for Manchester United fans, it is a mecca in their hearts.

Arriving at the gate of Carrington Training Base, Van Carrey noticed that the training base was no longer called Carrington, but changed to AON Comprehensive Training Center, but both fans and players called this [Carrington] Training Base.

The gate is slightly narrower, half smaller than De Tokmost’s training base, and there is no way to compare with Manchester City’s macroscopic gate.

Driving into the quiet path inside the base, it’s hard to imagine that this secluded place can be associated with the famous Manchester United.

There are already several luxury cars parked in the first-team parking lot, there are Lamborghini, there are Bentleys, in addition to seeing the high salaries of Manchester United players, you can also see that these players who came to Carrington’s training base in advance have a strong sense of crisis in their hearts.

Jose Mourinho is a very personal manager, with eight top flight titles, two Champions League titles and countless cup titles so far in his coaching career, and is one of the best football coaches in world football today.

That’s why he can start all over again this summer at the helm and players will have to pay more if they want to stay at United for more income and glory.

Arriving early at the training ground sends a positive signal to Jose Mourinho.

Interestingly, among these people is Martial, who joined last summer, and has been positive.

Ibrahimovic’s favorite shirt in his career, who joined Manchester United for free, is the number ten, but Manchester United No. 10 is owned by captain Rooney, and everyone is an old friend, naturally embarrassed to ask for Rooney’s No. 10 shirt, so he asked for No. 9, and No. 9 is the shirt number that Martial wore last season.

The number nine is not a legendary number at Manchester United, but it is a recognition of a professional player, and Martial’s shirt number was asked by Ibrahimovic.

Manager Jose Mourinho didn’t say anything, which amounted to acquiescence to Martial.

In this case, the most common reaction of young people is to get by, be a monk for a day, hit the clock, but Martial does not, on the contrary, responds with a positive training attitude, he … is the most suitable player for Manchester United’s number nine!

Following Ibrahimovic, Van Carrey went to the dressing room of the first team at the training base.

In the dressing room sat several United players who arrived early, Martial, Marcus Rashford, Scott McTominay, Dean Henderson (goalkeeper) and Jesse Lingard.

Except for Jesse Lingard, who is slightly older, the others are young people under the age of twenty.

When they saw Ibrahimovic, they all shouted “Zlatan”, and when they looked at Van Carrey, Martial and Rashford had a somewhat mixed feeling, and finally chose not to say hello, but to bow their heads and tie their shoelaces.

Van Carrey shrugged, conflicting positions and competing with each other, such a reaction was normal, but he didn’t care.

Scott McTominay, Dean Henderson and Jesse Lingard did not compete with him, waving separately: “Hi ~ Carrey.” ”

Fan Carrey smiled and nodded his head, called the names of the three, said hello, and then walked to his [No. 7] locker.
