Title: Youth Training Supervisor
Some people say that the British are serious stereotypes, but in fact, if you really understand the British, you will find that they are not just stereotypes, but they are always full of reason.
Even if it was just a warm-up match for primary school students, the school was still organized, and the team's tactics were also very characteristic of England.
Since being equalized by Ismail, Windsor has obviously strengthened the defense in the middle, and Michael has retreated a bit, making it more difficult for the opponent to pass to Ismail.
Since it is impossible to pass the ground ball, then pass the high-altitude ball crisply; anyway, Ismail is taller than Curtis.
However, the effect of the high-altitude ball is not obvious. First, the passing efficiency of the small players is really bad. Second, although Curtis's height is shorter than Ismail's, the card position and anticipation consciousness are better. Ismail is better, so he can always get stuck in front of Ismail and push the ball out.
Windsor's offense was monotonous; he gave it to Michael, who either split the side or stuck straight, but it must have been delivered to Messi in the end.
This small Argentine boy is amazingly fast and skilled. As long as the ball reaches his feet, it is just like growing on his leg. Few people can break the ball from his feet.
Soon, before the end of the first half, Messi scored two more goals and would exceed the score again.
"Hey, Leo, you're awesome!" Evra gave a thumbs-up to Messi running over while drinking.
Messi shook his head modestly. In Argentina, he played against the youth team of Newell's Old Boys, where players are stronger than these elementary school students; they have all been trained in professional football for many years. But there, Messi's performance is still outstanding.
Seeing Messi like this, Levi couldn't help worrying.
In the previous life, Messi played in Argentina and then went to Barcelona. The environment was very competitive. But after coming to Manchester, New Manchester United did not even have a youth training camp, let alone give it to Messi. Some challenging games in the West have stimulated him to grow and improve.
Will this limit Messi's growth?
When Levi threw this question to Bruce, the latter's answer made him feel relieved.
"Messi's most important thing right now is to heal the sick, and Derek also said that the situation like him is not suitable for long-term intense sports, so the current environment of our club is the best for him."
After speaking to Messi, Bruce pointed to Michael at Windsor with interest.
"This player's passing is very characteristic and well-balanced. He has good technical skills and great talent. As for the man named Ismail, although he is tall, his speed is very fast, and his skills are outstanding, but what is most noticeable is his dynamism."
"So, are you interested in them?" Levi asked with a smile.
Bruce nodded unabashedly, "Did you not let me find some good youth coaches for you before?"
"Well, have you found any?" Levi asked in surprise.
Bruce nodded, "Well, Keane introduced a youth assistant from Carrington. It is said that he left a few months ago. In addition, I also have a friend in Birmingham. They all agreed to come and see if it is appropriate. Just to stay here, but I want to remind you that it is quite expensive to set up a youth training system."
Levi suddenly laughed when he heard, "I recently made a lot of money in the stocks I invested in the United States. I am no longer the poor man of the past. I am now a generous old rich man. I want to buy a stadium and establish a youth training system. I want to improve the training base. Just give me some time, and I will satisfy you!"
Bruce was happy for a while but looked at Levi's expression full of admiration.
Levi's contribution to New Manchester United is visible to everyone. At the beginning, he devoted himself to building a club. Now he has made every effort to invest his entire family. As soon as he makes a little money, he joins the investment and construction of the club. Bruce, the chairman who loves clubs and football in this way, dare not say that it is unique, but at least he has only seen such a person.
"By the way, Walsh, you went to the city hall again yesterday. What did they say?"
Walsh sighed, looked at the children resting on the court, and shook his head with a bitter smile, "Still the same, divided into two groups, one to sell, one not to buy; now they are getting into trouble. After all, they are still worried that our results are too bad, and we have just set up a new club. You know, Manchester City also wants to get this land; they have long felt that Maine Road is too narrow."
Levi was very helpless about this. Could he take the money to buy the English Football Association and say, "Hey, guys, I'll pay 10 million pounds; let's go to the Premier League!"
Everyone knows that's impossible!
Although there are often players who are escorted to the English National League, they are amateur leagues. Once they are promoted from the National League to the English C, the English B, the English A, and even the English Premier League, they can only use results to speak. No results are the basis, and no one wants to get confused.
After all, professional leagues are all about interests, and no one is willing to give up easily!
"Come on, Levi, you will be fine!" Walsh comforted Levi.
"In fact, I have a proposal for the formation of a youth team!" Bruce suddenly thought of something.
"Come and listen!"
"Once the coaching team is in place and the youth training facilities are ready, you may wish to talk to the elementary school and let the students in the school come to our team to train. After all, we are all professional youth coaches, and then we select a group of players with certain potential to become our youth team so that we can apply to participate in the regional youth team league."
Speaking of which, Bruce paused again, and then laughed himself, "But then you must make a lot of money again."
When Levi heard it, it suddenly felt like a good idea.
"It's okay; as long as it's good for the club, even if it costs a lot of money!"
The event was finalized on the spot, and the second half of the game began again.
The Windsor team led by Messi and Curtis still continued the good condition of the first half. Just the beginning of the second half, Messi once again staged a long-distance running game, scored a goal, the senior four, became the stadium's most dazzling star.
However, after the break, Ismail was not to be outdone. Seeing that he was less than cheap in the confrontation with Curtis, he smartly retracted the ball, and then used his skilled technology and flexible body to completely disrupt Windsor's defense. Afterward, he also scored a goal while in trouble.
Afterward, the situation of the game turned into a goal that you came to me. There were also goals for Messi, Michael, and Curtis, and Ismail scored four goals.
However, the heroic Ismail failed to prevent Windsor's victory in the end. The score of 7: 5 can reflect the excitement of the game. Some even said that this is the most exciting game since the two schools established the Newton Heath Cup!
After the game, Messi and Curtis both went back to school to celebrate with Windsor, while Levi took Bruce and Walsh directly to the principal's office of Cambridge School.
When Levi said his intentions, the principal of the Cambridge school also expressed interest, but he had to negotiate with the school's board of directors before making a decision.
The same response came from Windsor and another nearby school, Newton, both expressing their willingness to consider cooperating with New Manchester United.
Although it is just a newly established club, New Manchester United now has a very good reputation in Newton Heath. It is also good for the school to cooperate with them. After all, New Manchester United promises to share the annual football funding of the school and will send professional football coaches to the school for training.
In addition, the school sends its students to New Manchester United for training, and all the costs are borne by New Manchester United, which saves the school a lot of expenses.
Because of its many benefits, the boards of several primary schools nearby have agreed to cooperate with New Manchester United and promised to organize some of the children playing in the school to the New Manchester United training base within the agreed time. They will perform trial training, and then New Manchester United coaches will focus on selecting potential players.
Of course, this does not mean that these players will automatically become part of the New Manchester United youth team when they are selected. It is up to New Manchester United to negotiate with the player's family before any official agreement is made.
Additionally, Jim Cassel, the youth coach introduced by Keane, has already taken up his role in the club. Together with Paul Hampson, whom Bruce recruited from Birmingham, they are both middle-aged people in their fifties who have been engaged in player training for 20-30 years.
Among them, Jim Cassell's resume is the most outstanding. He was a powerful assistant to Eric Harrison at the Manchester United Carrington Youth Camp. He has been following Eric Harrison for more than ten years. His tenure was only cut short due to conflicts and contradictions with certain club policies. However, his experience and expertise make him a valuable asset to New Manchester United.
The value of Manchester United's system has not yet been fully realized, but after they achieved the triple crown, it became evident that the core value of Manchester United lies in its system. After Ferguson's time, as core players were replaced repeatedly, the team continued to achieve higher glory through smooth passing and coordination, frequent and orderly running without the ball, and tearing the opponent's defense line.
Thinking about this, Levi felt a surge of pride in his heart. Manchester United's legacy was in good hands, and he was determined to continue building on it.
