Zhigao Supreme: The Legend of Greenery

Chapter 36 Carrington

"Manchester, located in the northwest of England, is the second largest city in England. At the same time, Manchester is also the first industrialized city in the world. In the [-]th century, with the development of the cotton textile industry, Manchester became the pioneer of a new generation of industrial cities."

"Now, Manchester has become a model of global urban reconstruction. From here, people can feel the history of British industrial development. From the traditional cotton textile industry, it has gradually developed into an international city with emerging industries such as electronics, printing and chemicals. At the same time, the vigorous development of finance, education, tourism, commerce and manufacturing has made Manchester a major industrial center and commodity distribution center in England, and the largest financial center in the UK after London."

"The rapid development of emerging industries has made this city once again a bustling city that never sleeps on the banks of the Ewell River."

After arriving in London after flying for nearly twenty hours, Yu Liang, who was sitting in the car, was really not in the mood to listen to Wang Qi's story of Manchester's history.

Compared with the history of Manchester, what he wants to know more is the history of football development in Manchester.

"Haha... football? If you want to understand a city, you have to feel its history; if you want to integrate into this city, you have to understand their culture."

Wang Qi looked at the familiar city outside the window, and said to Yu Liang with relish: "Yes, football is also a kind of culture, and it is also a symbol of this city. In the future, they will be proud of having you!"

The last time he came here, he sent King Dong to Manchester United. This time there will be no accidents, and he will also keep Yu Liang at Manchester United.

Yu Liang looked at Wang Qi with a smile, and said, "I will work hard towards this goal!"

Looking at the endless fields nearby, Yu Liang didn't know where he was going, and he couldn't help showing a puzzled look on his face.

"Hehe, I won't sell you. This is the rule of Manchester United. All youth team players will board at the homes of residents near Carrington! King Dong also came here like this."

Seeing Yu Liang's doubts, Wang Qi looked at the field outside the window and immediately explained.

"It should be here soon, you should live with Xiao Dong!"

Not long after Wang Qi's voice fell, the car stopped directly in front of a two-story building after turning a corner.

Before getting out of the car, Yu Liang saw King Dong walking towards him.

"Ryoko, welcome to Manchester!"

After being serious for a while, King Dong put his arms around Yu Liang's shoulders and said excitedly: "Haha, now we are together again!"

"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Uncle William, and this is Mrs. William! You will live here for the next two weeks!"

Like a host, King Dong introduced Yu Liang there.

"Hi, Mr. William, Mrs. William! I'm Yu Liang, sorry to bother you!"

This is a kind middle-aged couple. Uncle William is similar to the middle-aged British man in his impression, with whiskers and a big belly.

"You're welcome, dear."

Although she has reached middle age and her figure is a bit fatter, Mrs. William still maintains an elegant demeanor, not like a country woman at all.

"Hoohoo, welcome your child, don't be so formal here, just treat this as your home! Also, you should call me Uncle William, not Mr. William! Come on, child, let's visit your room!"

Uncle William's temperament is straightforward, but the enthusiasm he showed exceeded Yu Liang's expectations.

After following Uncle William and Mrs. William into the house, he realized why Uncle William was so enthusiastic.

Entering the house, the first thing you see is a photo.

Although he didn't recognize the words written on it, he could see from the photo that this photo was related to Manchester United.There are things related to Manchester United everywhere in the house, such as the red scarf on the sofa and the Manchester United jersey hanging on the wall.

Yu Liang's room is located on the left side of the second floor. Although it is not separated by a wall from King Dong's room, there is only a bathroom in between.

The room is not very big, there is only a single bed, a not very big desk, and a wardrobe, but it is very tidy.The quilts on the bed are covered with brand new quilt covers, which must have been prepared by the landlord.

Pushing open the window, I saw a farm and a small forest.The wilderness of the farm is full of golden wild flowers, and the cattle and sheep lazily nibble on the grass in the wilderness, full of a strong rural atmosphere.

"Thank you, Uncle William, Mrs. William, I like this place very much!"

"OK! I'm glad you liked it all. I'm sure you'll enjoy our food even more!"

Uncle William smiled heartily, then patted Yu Liang on the shoulder, and walked directly downstairs.

After Uncle William went downstairs, King Dong showed a mysterious smile at Yu Liang, and then went downstairs without saying anything, which made Yu Liang a little puzzled.

After packing his clothes out of the suitcase, Yu Liang washed his face and went directly downstairs.At this time, Uncle William and Mrs. William had already prepared the food. Looking at the table full of cooked meat, fish, soup and vegetables, Yu Liang, who had been flying in the air for more than 20 hours, really felt his stomach Some are hungry.

After the dinner started, Yu Liang, who was full of anticipation, suddenly understood why King Dong smiled at him mysteriously.

When the food is put in the mouth, it has no taste.

Yu Liang even suspected that William and his wife forgot to put salt because they were in a hurry.

Chewing the somewhat appalling and tasteless beef, Yu Liang was a little puzzled.

Didn’t the media report that English people like to eat high-salt and high-calorie foods such as fried fish, fried meat, and French fries?How come to Uncle William's house, everything has changed.Not only low-salt, but also not high in calories.

It was only after the meal that Yu Liang learned from King Dong that the William and his wife cooked this dinner according to the menu provided by the team's nutritionist.

"Let me tell you, when it comes to food, I believe there is no country in the world that can compare to our country."

Yu Liang agreed with King Dong's words very much.

After taking a bite of the shredded squid he bought, Yu Liang was full of worries about his future diet.

"Hey, don't worry, in fact, nutritious meals are not that bad, but Mrs. William's craftsmanship is really not flattering. Well, I don't have much time now. After we come back from our trip to Asia, I will invite you to Chinatown to eat delicious food. of."

In a few days, King Dong will follow Manchester United on a week-long Asian tour.

After the Asian tour, they will return to Manchester to prepare for the new season.The new season of the Premier League will start in mid-August.

But for Yu Liang, the first task now is to pass Manchester United's trial training.

The next morning, Yu Liang woke up.

Accompanied by Wang Qi and King Dong, they went to Carrington, Manchester United's training base.

After starting from home, drive west along a road until you reach the first intersection, turn left and you will arrive at the famous Carrington Base.

But before that, Yu Liang discovered another training base—the training base of Manchester City.

Because his magnificent gate is so obvious that it is difficult not to be discovered.

Passing through the narrow path, when the car drove into a gate, Yu Liang was a little dumbfounded.

Because apart from a sign above the door, there is no place here that indicates that this is the famous Red Devils training base.There isn't even a huge Manchester United logo, and it's like a deserted farm compared to Manchester City's training ground next door.

In normal times, it would be difficult for Yu Liang to connect this quiet place with the Carrington training base.

Walking into the Carrington Training Base, there are two buildings inside.

There are indoor training rooms, badminton courts, physiotherapists, masseurs, swimming pool, changing rooms and laundry.On the second floor is the restaurant and the office of the Youth Training Department.

Ferguson's office is in another building, and he can see everything that happens in training through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Following the staff and Wang Qi, Yu Liang came to Ferguson's office on the second floor, where he finally met the famous helm of the Red Devils - Ferguson.

"Welcome to Manchester United!"

Wearing a pair of glasses and wearing a white T-shirt, if Yu Liang didn't know his identity, Ferguson would definitely regard him as an ordinary grandfather.

"Hello, coach!"

Yu Liang held out his hand cautiously, and shook it with Ferguson.

"Hehe, you can call me boss or sir just like them."

Following the direction of Ferguson's finger, Yu Liang found a huge training field.

There are more than a dozen training grounds of various sizes, and some players are gathered. They are conducting warm-up training under the leadership of the coach.

"Okay, sir!"

Yu Liang is now more eager to appear on the training ground than in Ferguson's office.

"Hehe, very good! Boy, you know what the next two weeks will mean to you. I hope you can have a good performance! Sorry, I can't personally follow your performance here, you will follow the youth Team training together. This is the coach of the youth team, Mr. Paul McGuinness!"

Yu Liang was a little disappointed that he could not get Ferguson's personal attention.

Although the disappointed expression was fleeting and did not attract Ferguson's attention, it did not escape the eyes of McGuinness, who has been engaged in youth training for more than ten years.

He didn't stay in Ferguson's office for a long time. After getting to know each other for a while, Yu Liang followed McGuinness directly to the locker room.

After coming out of Ferguson's office, Yu Liang and McGuinness didn't say a word.The dull atmosphere made Yu Liang a little nervous. Only then did he realize how important it is to master a foreign language.After changing into the training uniform, Yu Liang followed McGuinness to the training ground.

"Here's your translator, Mr. Chris."

Yu Liang breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the interpreter on the sidelines of the training field.It seems that Manchester United is quite well prepared.But the most important thing is to master a foreign language by yourself. After greeting the translator, Yu Liang decided to learn English as soon as possible.

"I know you are eager to prove your strength to Mr. Alex now, but please don't worry, my child. It is his decision that you can come here. I think you will not let him down! Train with your heart and show Show your own strength, and he will give you a chance to show off! Come on, kid!"

Yu Liang nodded gratefully to McGuinness.

"Don't worry, Paul, I will work hard! So now, should I meet new teammates!"

"yeah……"

Listening to Yu Liang's substandard English pronunciation, McGuinness smiled.A person who can actively communicate will not be eliminated wherever he goes.Patting Yu Liang on the shoulder, McGuinness led him directly towards the training ground...
