The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

On the afternoon of July 6, Luo Lie led Julia Roberts, Principal Tan, Lu Han and others into the holy land in the hearts of the Red Devils fans - the Carrington training base. These stars in the entertainment industry were invited by Luo Lie to attend the series of activities to welcome Cristiano Ronaldo home as performance guests. Dongfang Zhuo, Li Xian, Li Zhengqi, Liu Xue, Zhang Yiyi, Liu Xiaoyan, and Liu Xiaoyan's cousin He Xuemei will also arrive later.

When they walked through the familiar gate and stepped into the training base, the wide green field came into view. On the training ground, the youth players of various echelons were still training indoors, and the staff were making various preparations in an orderly manner. The sound of placing training equipment and the occasional conversations of the youth training team coaches intertwined to form an atmosphere full of vitality and passion.

At this moment, Luo Lie and others were attracted by a figure who was training alone on the first-team training ground. The figure was agile and focused, and the football under his feet seemed to be under a spell, rolling and jumping obediently with his movements. When he got closer, Luo Lie could see clearly that it was Mason Greenwood.

Mason Greenwood, the young player who experienced a big storm last season, was now fully engaged in training. His face had a kind of determination that others had never seen before, and his eyes were fixed on the football. Every touch, every pass, and every shot was done very seriously. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but he seemed unaware of it and was still immersed in his own training world.

"Oh, isn't that Mason Greenwood? Isn't he a first-team player? Why did he return to the team for training so early?" Julia Roberts asked curiously.

Luo Lie smiled and said, "I was also surprised, but we'll know if we ask the management staff."

Then, they found a club manager who was responsible for the daily affairs of the Carrington training base. Before Luo Lie asked, the manager took the initiative to say: "Mr. Chairman, you have seen Mason Greenwood, this guy is really hardworking, he has returned to the team for training for more than a week in advance. After the incident last season, he seemed to have changed into a different person, and he was focused on how to improve himself."

Hearing this, Luo Lie could not help but nod slightly, and he admired Mason Greenwood's self-awareness and efforts. He recalled the scene when Mason Greenwood had an accident last season. It was a big fuss, and the whole club was shrouded in a haze. At that time, Mason Greenwood, facing all kinds of accusations and pressure from the outside world, seemed a little confused and at a loss. Everyone was worried that this talented young player would never recover.

But now, looking at the hard-trained Mason Greenwood on the court, Luo Lie knows that he has come out of that dark day, and he is walking very firmly.

During the training break, Mason Greenwood saw Chairman Rowley and his group. He wiped the sweat off his face and trotted over to say hello.

"Hello, Mr. Chairman, and friends, welcome to visit the Carrington training base." Mason Greenwood said politely with a sincere smile on his face.

Rowley looked at him and responded with a smile: "Mason, I heard that you returned to the team for training more than a week in advance. You are very hardworking. You must be careful not to tire yourself too much."

Mason Greenwood scratched his head and said: "Chairman, I want to come back to train early and make up for the places that I missed and did not do well before. I made such a big mistake last season, which brought a bad impact to the club. I have always felt very guilty in my heart, so I thought I must make up for it with practical actions."

Rowley patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Young man, the past is the past. The important thing is that you can learn from it and move forward. Judging from your current state , I am very pleased. I can see that you have really grown up. "

Mason Greenwood nodded heavily and said, "I understand, Mr. Chairman. After that period of time, I thought a lot. I always felt that I had some talent before, and sometimes I didn't pay so much attention to training, and I didn't pay much attention to things off the court. But after that incident, I realized that as a professional player, I represent not only myself, but also the club and so many fans who support us. I can't be so naive and willful anymore. I have to be responsible for my actions and live up to everyone's expectations of me. "

Principal Tan and others listened to Mason Greenwood and said to him.Thumbs up.

"This is what it means to be responsible, young man, come on, we believe you will shine in the new season." Principal Tan encouraged.

Mason Greenwood looked at everyone gratefully and said, "Thank you for your encouragement. I will definitely work harder. In the new season, I want to prove myself on the court and win back what I lost."

As time went by, the players of the U19 team who had completed the indoor training also came to the training ground one after another and started group training. Mason Greenwood ran to them naturally and quickly integrated into the team training. He and the players of the U19 team cooperated very well, and showed excellent condition in the training match. His speed, skills and judgment of the game situation have all improved significantly compared to before.

The coach of the U19 team was watching from the side, and his face was also full of satisfaction. He nodded and praised the performance of Mason Greenwood and several other young players from time to time. He would also walk over to give them some individual guidance during the training. Mason Greenwood and others were like a sponge, desperately absorbing the experience and skills taught by the coach.

During a halftime break, Luo Lie chatted with Mason Greenwood again.

"Mason, I see that you are in this state now. Not only are you training hard, but you also feel that you are a lot calmer in your mentality." Luo Lie said.

Mason Greenwood took a sip of water and said slowly: "Mr. Chairman, that's true. When I played in the past, I was always a little impetuous, thinking about how to show myself, score more goals, and stand out. Now it's different. I think more about how to help the team win, how to cooperate with my teammates, and regard every game as an opportunity to prove myself and win everyone's trust again."

Luo Lie said approvingly: "You are right to think so. Football has never been a one-person sport. The power of the team is the most important. Now that you have this heart, the cohesion of the team will be stronger."

Mason Greenwood continued: "I know, so I will try my best to get along well with the coach and teammates, and ask them for advice. Everyone is also very tolerant of me and willing to help me. I am really grateful to them."

Luo Lie listened and nodded constantly, looking at the brand new Mason Greenwood in front of him, with a lot of emotion in his heart. The young player who almost lost himself in the storm has now grown into a real professional player who is responsible, persevering, and knows how to work in a team. He believes that in the new season, Mason Greenwood will shine with his own light.

Other staff members of the club have also felt the changes in Mason Greenwood. From the canteen staff to the logistics support staff, everyone privately praised him for being like a different person, becoming sensible and polite, and his hard work and struggle spirit infected everyone around him. Of course, this is all later.

In the next few days, Mason Greenwood still maintained such a high-intensity training state. He came to the Carrington base early every day and completed the established training plan with high quality. In addition to the plan, he also practiced physical fitness and shooting skills to continuously polish his shortcomings.

As for his teammates who are as young as him but also have a passionate heart for football, Diogo Dalot, Josh Gvardiol, Theo Fernandez, Ashraf Hakimi, Dani Olmo, Nico Williams, Scott McTominay, Cody Gakpo, Erling Haaland, Jamal Musiala and others all chose to return to the team for training in advance. Behind each of them, there is a story of their own and full of expectations for the new season.

Diogo Dalot, the figure who was speeding on the sidelines, has been holding back a lot of energy since the end of last season. He knew that he was still lacking in some key games. The occasional mistakes in defense and the more decisive breakthroughs in offense kept replaying in his mind. So, before the holiday was over, he packed his bags early, bid farewell to the comfortable company of his family, and resolutely embarked on the journey back to the team. He thought that if he returned to the team one day earlier, he would have one more day to hone his skills and guard the team's side corridors with more stable performance in the new season.

Yoshko Gvardiol, a young defensive stalwart, has shown a calmness beyond his age on the field, but he has his sights set further. He understands that the football world is changing rapidly, and the opponent's offensive methods are becoming more and more innovative. He must continue to improve in order to make the team's defense impregnable. While other peers may still be enjoying a leisurely vacation,He has returned to the familiar training base in advance, and practiced defensive positions and header clearances over and over again on the training dummies every day. His seriousness seemed to make him an indestructible steel wall.

Theo Fernandez, the flying wing who has firmly occupied the left side of Manchester United, has unparalleled breakthrough ability and keen insight on the field, but he is not satisfied with this. He is eager to improve his ability to hit the ball well and control the rhythm of the game more accurately before the start of the new season. So, he gave up the time to continue to relax, returned to the team early, and plunged into training. In the empty training ground, he can often be seen practicing passing alone. From the accuracy of short passes to the strength and landing point of long passes, he demands perfection. The football under his feet is like his most loyal partner, rolling and flying on the grass according to his heart.

Ashraf Hakimi, the lightning-fast full-back, has always been famous for his sharp assists and tenacious defense. But he feels that he can be faster and stronger. During the holidays, his friends invited him to go out and play, but he declined all of them, thinking only of returning to the team for training. After returning to the team, he sprinted on the track again and again, constantly improving his confrontation ability in confrontation exercises. The flying sweat was the best testimony of his efforts for the new season.

Dani Olmo, Nico Williams, Scott McTominay, Cody Gakpo, Erling Haaland, Jamal Musiala and others are also like this. Dani Olmo worked hard on his shooting skills on the training ground, hoping to make his scoring methods more diverse; Nico Williams focused on improving his dribbling breakthroughs, hoping to tear open the opponent's defense in the new season; Scott McTominay increased the intensity of physical training, determined to become a more reliable barrier in the midfield; Cody Gakpo kept thinking about cooperation with his teammates, hoping to create more offensive opportunities; Erling Haaland continued to strengthen his finishing ability in front of the goal, with the goal of sending more balls into the opponent's goal in the new season; Jamal Musiala worked hard on tactical understanding, hoping to bring more chances to the team with his wisdom.

Although these young teammates have different personalities and different positions on the field, they all have the same goal-to improve themselves as much as possible before the start of the new season and make themselves more competitive. They all chose to return to the team for training early, which also filled the entire Carrington training base with passion and blood.
