Chapter 9 - patrice evra

shook his head and smiled, "No, we are New Manchester United. We will play in the Northwest England Second Division in the new season. I hope you can join our team!"

"The Northwest England Second Division ..." Evra murmured to himself, apparently searching in his head, which level of England is this league in the end, but in the end, he realized that he was not at all Can't find the answer.

"We are the tenth level team in England. If we look at it at the league level, we must be lower than Lelyu, and we just started this year, but we have signed a few professional players. You are We hope to sign another one. "

"Is it full-time?" Evra asked with concern.

"Of course, but our wages are certainly not high, but we can guarantee that you can play, and you know that the English League system is very rigorous, and competition at each level is very fierce, especially Manchester, where even the most shabby The stadiums are full of Manchester United or Manchester City scouts. As long as you have the strength, you will not be buried. "

For the time being, Levi feels that New Manchester United has no fame at all, so he can only pull the tiger skins of two neighbors to serve as his own banner, after all, they are all in one city.

After speaking, Levi also took out the documents that could prove his identity, and handed them to Evra.

The latter looked very carefully. Looking at the photo on the ID card and Levi himself, he seemed to want to see if it was true, and finally determined his identity, but to his surprise, Levi was still the same. Chairman of the club.

"Our club is a new club established in opposition to Murdoch's acquisition of Manchester United, so the name is New Manchester United." Levi saw that Evra was obviously tangling with the name of the club similar to Manchester United, so he actively explained.

Evra suddenly realized when he heard it, "Oh, I remember, I watched your report on TV!"

"Really? That's great, at least to prove that I didn't lie, didn't I?" Levi felt for the first time that the British Levi really did a pretty good job for herself and at least opened up the popularity of New Manchester United. .

"Right, what about your parents?" Levi saw Evra's hesitation and embarrassment, and knew in his heart how a 17-year-old could easily make decisions that might affect his life?

"Can you take me to meet them?" Levi said with a smile.

Maybe I think Levi's first impression is not bad, plus he has always been honest, can make people believe, plus his desire to play professional football, so Evra nodded and took With Levi, he went out of the stadium.

"Hey, Patrice, you went back so early?" The young man who had just communicated with Levi was a little surprised. Evra had to practice in the dark on weekdays.

There was something in Evra's heart, but he nodded, but kept silent, and continued to move forward.

Levi followed him and walked out of the football field.

From beginning to end, no one noticed Levi's appearance on the football field, and no one knew Levi's identity.

But in the next two days, Evra did not show up at the stadium in the town of Leulli again. Evra friends asked his parents, and the answer was that he had already gone to England to play.

Negotiating with Evra's parents was not easy. For two days, Levi almost exhausted himself persuading them.

Since Evra graduated from Paris Saint-Germain's football school, his father wanted him to find a stable job to secure his future, earn enough to support a family, and give up his dream of becoming a professional player.

Evra seemed to share the same intention, but Levi's appearance completely changed the game.

A £200 weekly salary was enticing for a working-class family, and what made it even more appealing was Levi's offer of a 25% annual increase in the contract, along with a signing bonus.

Moreover, Levi promised to take care of Evra, providing accommodation, meals, and daily necessities. He also committed to providing two round-trip air tickets to Manchester and Paris every six months, allowing Evra's parents to visit him in Manchester whenever they wanted.

Faced with such an attractive offer, even the stubborn Evra's parents couldn't resist. After all, Evra's passion for football was evident to anyone.

"Patrices, what do you think?" Old Evra asked.

Evra lowered his head, gazed at his father, and declared, "I can be a professional player!" His tone was brimming with confidence and determination.

His words reassured Old Evra, who then decided to accompany Evra to Manchester to see what opportunities awaited him there.

On the third day, Levi booked two tickets for father and son to Manchester and instructed Walsh to print the full-time contract and handle all necessary arrangements.

Although New Manchester United had just been established and its facilities were lacking, Levi wasn't concerned about Evra's accommodation. It was customary for European clubs to arrange for young players from outside the area to stay with local fans, which helped them acclimate to their new surroundings and instilled a sense of loyalty to the team.

For instance, Shinji Kagawa, a Japanese player who joined Manchester United in 2012. When Kagawa first arrived in Manchester, he stayed with local fans to help him adjust to his new environment and immerse himself in the club's culture. This tradition of accommodating new players with local fans fosters a sense of belonging and support within the team community.

Despite the club's humble beginnings, there was still a sense of community and support among its fans. Therefore, Levi had no doubt that Evra would find a warm welcome in Manchester.
