Manchester United legend

Chapter 6, Like a Person
Looking at the back of the old man leaving, Jost thought in his head, "Sir Busby, Sir Busby, oh, I remembered, Sir Busby is the person Kidd said, he is a famous coach of Manchester United, and he is famous in England for training young people. With his guidance, I will definitely improve rapidly.

Jost began to practice juggling the ball, and juggling the ball was two different things.Jost thought to himself, "It seems that I will ask Scholes for advice tomorrow. It's getting late, so I have to go home quickly."

Early the next morning, after eating the breakfast made by Casey, Jost ran to the Carrington base. Casey asked Jost why he didn't go with Ferguson, and Jost explained to Casey.After running to the Carrington base, the guard Uncle John saw Jost running just as he opened the door. Uncle John said, "Jost, you are such a hardworking young man. You came as soon as I opened the door. But I heard that your technical training is at the back."

Jost stepped forward to say hello, "Good morning, Uncle John, don't say that, sooner or later I will become the best player in England."

Uncle John laughed, if you become the best player in England, I will give you the signed Bobby Charlton jersey that I treasured when I was young. "

"Okay! We've made a deal." Jost ran into the training ground. There was no one there. Jost practiced passing the ball against the wall. After a while, Scholes and Bart came together.

Jost doesn’t usually socialize with others, but in order to practice juggling, he went up to him and said, “Good morning Scholes, the weather is really nice today, isn’t it?”

Unexpectedly, Scholes had no intention of getting close to him at all, and said directly: "Say something quickly, I still have to practice."

Jost told Scholes his thoughts: "I want to practice juggling the ball, can you give me some pointers, you don't want to train with me in groups to pick up the ball, right?"

Scholes thought for a while and readily agreed.Show Jost tips and pitfalls to watch out for.

After practicing juggling, the young players came to the training ground in twos and threes. Jost still had physical training in the morning and technical training in the afternoon.

Jost trained and lived like this.

A month later, there was an intra-team game this afternoon, which made the youth very happy. Young people always love games and hate practice.

In the afternoon, the practice game started, and Jost played as a striker on the field.

Today Manchester United's first team only trains in the morning and rests in the afternoon. They will prepare for tomorrow's match against Aston Villa. This season, Manchester United has great hopes of winning the last League One championship.So Ferguson especially wants to win the last championship of League One.

Ferguson is in a beautiful mood today, and Manchester United's press officer told him that he will be the best coach in January.The best player was also won by Manchester United's Brian Robson.What a double blessing.He walked out of the office and looked at his watch. It seemed that the youth team had an in-team practice match this afternoon. Ferguson wanted to see his youngsters.

Ferguson came to the No. [-] playing field, and the players had already started the game.Ferguson saw Sir Busby also sitting on the sidelines watching the game.The game had started for a while, and Ferguson thought, "I don't know how Jost is doing." Ferguson walked up to Sir Busby: "Sir Busby, don't you mind if I watch the game with you?" "Of course I don't mind, Mr. Coach. It would be better if you have a glass of beer and sausage." Sir Busby laughed.

The game was very intense, Kidd was observing the performance of the players, he looked back and saw Ferguson and Sir Busby sitting together watching the game and hurried over.

"Sir Busby, why did you come here with Alex?" "I like to watch young people play so that I don't feel so old. Alex and I just met by chance." Busby.

Kidd sat next to the two and asked, "What about you, Alex? You don't study the opponents in the next game, but you come to watch these kids play football."

Ferguson laughed: "Let me take a look at these future stars of the Manchester United team." Ferguson first asked about the performance of Beckham, Giggs, etc., and then said: "How is Jost doing with you? Didn't cause you any trouble?"

"I knew you would ask him, did Fat John say that Jost lives in your house?" Kidd said.

Ferguson: "I knew that Fat John was a big mouth. He shouldn't be a doorman at Manchester United. He should be a paparazzi for The Sun. He must be an ace." Sir Busby and Kidd laughed.

Kidd said: "It seems that what Fat John said is true. Jost is the favorite of fitness coach Dell. Every time he does physical training, Jost is the best and fastest one. But he is Harrison's nightmare. His passing and shooting are weak. I suspect that he is the same person as before the injury. If Gillespie hadn't been injured in training today, I would not have arranged him to play.

Ferguson: "Stop joking, how could it be someone else. Just watch the game."

Ferguson easily found Jost in the field. He was assigned to Group B and played as a striker wearing the No. 9 jersey.After a period of professional training, Jost has already looked like a professional player. His physical fitness is really good, but in the basic passing and shooting positions, he can see the gap.

Ferguson doubted his own judgment a bit, he asked: "Kidd, do you think Jost has the potential to become an excellent striker?"

"I want to talk to you about that too, Alex." Kidd said, "I've been letting him do basic exercises most of the time these days because I've found his skill level to be really bad.

"Oh?"

"His passing is always not in place, and his shooting is even more outrageous. It is as difficult as winning the British lottery if one of the ten balls is scored." Kidd complained.

Ferguson: "Do you have Jost's technical statistics?"

Kidd handed Ferguson a form. Jost only had a few simple passes on the field, no shots, no assists, no steals, nothing.

Jost didn't get a chance in the game, he didn't even take a shot, he just ran back and forth like this.He is not blind, he saw Coach Ferguson sitting with Kidd, the director of youth training, talking together. This is a good opportunity for him to perform.They were called into the first-tier pair in anticipation of getting into Ferguson's "eyes".

The consequence of Ferguson sitting on the sidelines is that it is more difficult for Jost to receive the ball, and no one passes the ball to him.Because passing it to Jost will only make the overall performance poor and affect the fluency of the offense.In this way, everyone will not get a chance to perform, even though they are young players, they usually play and fight together, eat and drink together.But when it comes to this kind of time, no one will think for themselves, because this is professional football.Don't blame yourself for not getting a chance if you don't have the strength.

The teammates attacked more and more and got closer to the penalty area. Jost, a forward, was forced out of the penalty area by defender Neville. Jost became more and more anxious.

Looking at Jost who was getting further and further back, Ferguson shook his head. Is this still the Jost in the past? He didn’t believe in his ability at all, and used his excellent body to find opportunities to shoot. Only by showing enough threat can he stay at Manchester United after two years.

Ferguson looked down at his watch. The game was about to end. It seemed that there was nothing to look forward to from Jost's performance.

Ferguson stood up from his seat, intending to leave.

Sir Busby looked up at him. "Why don't you, Alex?"

"There's nothing to see, sir," Ferguson said disappointedly.

Busby: "Are you disappointed with the No. 9 in the red jersey? I heard his name is Paul Jost?"

Ferguson "Yes Sir."

Busby: "I really admire this kid. He reminds me of my favorite general. Do you know who it is?"

Ferguson: "Who?"

Busby: "Duncan Edwards, they are very similar. They have the same excellent body, the same hard work, and the same perseverance. If it weren't for the damn "Munich Air Disaster", he might become the best player in England. Now Jost may not have good skills, but he can be trained the day after tomorrow." But here, Sir Busby pointed to the heart. "A heart that loves football cannot be cultivated." , two days, 2 weeks later he beat me to it, this is a hard working lad.I'm a fan of his now.

After listening to Sir Busby's words, Ferguson sat down again.
