Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

After the victory ceremony, Jaskolenen expressed his decision to retire, FC United promoted to the Premier League, but also to play in the Europa League, the 42-year-old Jaskolenen can no longer meet that standard of play, the last two years of his career to join the Red Rebels is also very happy, Lu Wei in the last four rounds of the game also let the old goalkeeper play full of games, enjoy the final football time.

However, although Jaskolenen retired, he will not leave Newton Heath, Jaskolenen was retained by Lu Wei to become a goalkeeper coach of the youth team, and both of Jaskoleninen's children also joined the Red Rebel youth echelon to participate in training, although not as high as their father, but in Newton Heath base, they can enjoy the joy of football.

Also retiring along with Jascolenin was Jermaine. Jenas, although his knee is intact, but Jenas is also 33 years old, physically unable to keep up with the intensity of the Premier League game, he is already content to be able to return to the pitch after a torn cruciate ligament, and in the penultimate round of the league, Jenas also scored a goal to end his career.

Jenas didn't have the idea of being a coach, and went out with his wife and children after the season, and may or may not appear on the commentary table in the future.

Another veteran of FC United's team, Chris Smith. Baird did not choose to retire, although not the main player last season, but often as a substitute for Hayden, although the physical fitness has declined, but Baird's experience is still an indispensable force of FC United's first team, and Baird can not only play at the back, but also at centre-back and right-back, even if he is put in the Premier League is also a qualified substitute.

Therefore, Lu Wei is also willing to keep this veteran, just as the so-called family has an old man like a treasure, Baird also renewed his contract with FC United for another year, which is equivalent to a final contract.

Edward. Mendy, Tafnir, Tarkovski, Robertson, Madison, Sollot and others have happily signed their names on the new contract, the new contract period has been extended to 2022, and the salary is also rising, FC United's salary is probably second only to the big6 in the Premier League, and FC United has European games to play, and the team's future development is very high, so they have no intention of leaving.

But there are also people who refuse to renew their contracts, including the team's second scorer last season, Lu Wei's diligent opportunist - Scott. Hogan.

"Sorry head, I don't want to play in the Premier League, forgive me for not being able to score for FC United anymore."

"Why?"

Lu Wei was a little puzzled, in his opinion, playing in the top league and European competitions is not every player's dream? In a coffee shop, Lu Wei looked at Hogan on the other side, his face full of doubts.

"Head, I also want to play in the Premier League, but with my ability I am afraid that there are not many opportunities to play at all, I know this very well, you should also be clear about it, I have been very tired of playing in the Championship in the past two years, although I have scored a lot of goals, but I know that it is the team's tactics and the credit of my teammates, with my playing style, in the Premier League I am afraid it will only be a burden for the team, instead of that, I might as well stay in the Championship to find a team that can play the main force, play my full strength, I hope you can succeed."

Hogan's eyes turned red as he spoke.

"Actually, I don't want to go, I want to stay at Newton Heath, but I don't want to play many games in a year and end up winning the title, I want to stand on the pitch and score goals for the team. Head, I've had a great time these three years and I'll never forget playing on the Red Course, thank you. Lu

Wei naturally also knows that Hogan's ability to gain a foothold in the Premier League is very reluctant, let alone play substitutes, I am afraid that it is difficult to even enter the squad, Hogan's strength is only in the Premier League relegation team has the ability to stand, and it is only an unimportant substitute rotation, and the ambitious FC United, Hogan players are no longer what the team needs.

Although Lu Wei likes Hogan, for the future of the team, Hogan's position in the team is only the third or even fourth backup striker, Hogan is also 25 years old, and he has passed the period of rapid ball gain, and letting him leave at this time is the best choice for himself and the team.

"So have you found a house?" Lu Wei asked.

"Not yet, my agent hasn't started talking to the team yet, I want to wait until the end of the season to talk to you before I transfer."

Hogan replied honestly.

"Okay, it's okay, don't worry, FC United will not forget everything you have done for the team in recent years, you will always be part of the Red Rebels."

Lu Wei stretched out his fist, not to hit Hogan, but to clash with this diligent player to bless his future.

"About your next home, I have a few ideas you can refer to, of course, just a reference, not a suggestion, or it's up to you to decide."

"Uh-huh." Hogan nodded as always.

"You are an opportunist, that is, a striker who steals points, players like you are not very common in England, because you need to have teammates to provide you with strong support, there are not many teams like this in the Championship now, don't go to those relegation teams, don't go to teams that are relegated from the Premier League, it's hard for a team like that to provide you with such an environment, well..."

Lu Wei mused.

"There are three teams you can consider in the Championship next season, Wolves, Aston Villa and Norwich, and the tactical play of these three teams is similar to ours, they are all a combination of the side and the side is supplemented by the main central field, and it should not be a problem for you to integrate into the team. And their head coach is also a very stable person, under them can also play your due strength, there will be no talent situation, and the overall strength of these three teams is not weak, although they dare not pack tickets to upgrade, but they all have the strength of the top six in the Championship.

Hogan nodded repeatedly, he is no stranger to these three teams, he has played each other in the past two years, and he knows their characteristics.

"Okay, I see, Head, thank you."

"Don't thank me, thank yourself, you deserve it, you have worked the pitch in recent years, and I hope to reunite with you in the Premier League one day in the future."

The farewell of Jaskolenen, Jenas and Hogan is just the beginning, FC United's move this summer has only just begun.
