Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

After some exchanges, the elder Haaland did not immediately agree to Lu Wei's trial invitation, but planned to observe first, after all, FC United is far inferior to Leeds, Everton and other teams, if these clubs are unsuccessful in trial, it is not too late to go to FC United.

Although the elder Haaland did not say these words, Lu Wei also understood what he meant, and after leaving his contact information and team address, he resigned the dinner invitation and left Haaland's home.

Blakes has already flown Sollot back to the UK first, although he must open the winter transfer window before he can register with the team, anyway, the Norwegian Premier League has entered the off-season, all the formalities have been handed over, Sollot has also voluntarily ended his holiday early and came to Newton Heath to participate in joint training with the team.

When Lu Wei came back, the team had been retraining for two days, fortunately, with Steele's right-hand man, the team's various stages of training were arranged in an orderly manner, although he was not a professional before, but he also commanded the training, and there were McKenna and Sheringham and others to assist, so these two days did not delay the team's training, and there was a 7-day buffer between the two games, which was enough for the team to complete the pre-match preparation.

Although Sollot arrived at the club a day earlier than Lu Wei, he only came to the training ground today to report for duty due to the need to arrange accommodation and daily life.

"Guys, tell me about the first signings in our winter transfer window this season, and you can introduce me yourself."

"Hi everyone, my name is Alexander. Sollot, 20 years old, from Norway, is a striker.

Introducing himself succinctly, the FC United players also thought to themselves, "The new man brought by the head is really high." Indeed

, Sollot, at 1.95 metres, is second only to captain Tyrone Mings, at 1.96 metres, and even a little higher than goalkeepers Edward and Jaskolenin.

The club has not yet announced that Makaida will leave the team, and Fiorentina did send an offer to FC United, and Lu Wei handed the matter over to Blake to deal with, and did not ask about the specific situation, FC United intends to wait until the winter window opens to officially announce the transfer.

Today's group confrontation training, Lu Wei divided the team into four 7-man squads, and Steele took two groups to play half games, new signing Sollot and Daniel, Madison, McGim, Taphnier, White and Olelenshaw in a group, and they played against Hogan, Gnabry, Lucas, Baird, Tyrone, Egan and Edward, Lu Wei took these 14 people for a half-hour intra-team game.

Lu Wei simply laid out the tactics and left the players to play freely, mainly to see who is more suitable for Hogan and Sollot as the main striker of FC United.

The departure of Makeda has become inevitable, whether it is Hogan or Sollot, they have the strength to play as the main striker in the Championship, Sollot is more physical, the heading ability is more outstanding, Hogan has a lot of experience in the English league, the ability to find opportunities is stronger, the scoring efficiency is higher, everyone has the opportunity to start, depending on who is in better condition in usual training.

In the end, Hogan's team won the intra-team match, but Sollot's performance was not inferior, the Norwegian league has been over almost two months, this is the first time Sollot has trained in England, his body has not yet adjusted to the best condition, that is also under the defense of the two team's main central defenders to fight for a few headers, and finally only to be stopped by Edward in front of the goal.

Daniel. James and Tavernir frequently play on the wing, just to see if the Norwegian can compete for a shot in the same tall Tyrone confrontation, Tyrone is considered a top defender in the Championship, and can adapt to the pressure brought by Tyrone, which also shows that he has the strength to compete in the Championship.

Sollot's arrival suddenly gave Hogan a lot of pressure, FC United's forward height is not high, a high school striker's reinforcement is undoubtedly making the team's tactics and scoring methods more changeable, Hogan has always been the team's first choice for substitute forwards, and even some games will be sent by Lu Wei to start according to tactics and opponents, and there is no chance to play.

Sollot's performance just now he also saw, younger than his own age, better than his own body, running position selection awareness is also very good, although the height is big, but the speed is not slow, the foot technique is not inferior to himself, but I don't know how he will perform in the game, but Sollot is more in line with the team's requirements for forwards than himself.

Hogan watched Lu Wei teach the Norwegian giant technical points on the sidelines, and silently clenched his fists.

With a sense of competition is not only Hogan alone, FC United's five-year veteran Lucas also gradually feels that his main position is not secure, unlike the weak midfield of the previous two years, this season Lu Wei bought four midfielders in one go, although he and Connor are still the main players, but Baird and McKim are also eyeing the main position, so Jenas and the young Maddison will not have requirements for the main position.

Not only that, Michu has become more and more important in the team this season, so that Klucas, who used to be involved in the attack often, has to make way for him, focusing more on the midfield tandem and defense, and these honest Holihaan have done much better than Klucas.

Healthy competition in the team is an important environment for players to remain motivated, no team can rely on 11 people to play the world, Lu Wei's concept of the overall strength of the team is three or four core players, more than a dozen players who can play the main force steadily, four or five rotation players willing to be substitutes, and finally the check for gaps in the squad in case of injuries affecting the integrity of the squad.

And the team also needs a few veterans, Jaskolenen, Baird and Michu, three people with many years of experience in the top league will deal with various situations in the game well, and there is a good teacher on the front, middle and back lines with young people on the court, which also makes the young people more mature and stable, and the momentum of the young people on the field also brings some vitality to the veterans.

For FC United, whose average age in the first team is only 23.4 years old, these young people are their wealth and their future, but if there is no good environment for growth, it may be counterproductive to entrust them too early, after all, there is an old Chinese saying that it is not advisable to pull out seedlings and help them.
