Extra 692

After listening to his father's persuasion, instead of complaining to his best friend Michael that night, Randall sent a bunch of colorful compliments.

He dug his heart and soul, searched for all the good adjectives he knew, and observed Michael's reaction while speaking.

But his friend Michael was very happy at first, and then asked him: "Randall, did you take the wrong medicine, or did you get sick?"

This made Randall Jr. understand what it means to go too far.

But even so, he was still looking forward to the arrival of the next day.

To be precise, he was looking forward to the next day's training.

This day is Sunday, and they still have a game, maybe he can become teammates with Rafael.

With such expectations, and with the little biscuits baked by his mother, he came to Cliff.

But he waited and waited, until the training was over, but he didn't wait for the blond boy to arrive.

He went to the coach puzzled, wondering why he hadn't been seen.

The coach rubbed his face with a smile and said: "Randy, cutie, you have to know that his home is in London, it's not easy to come here, and his father needs to think carefully."

Randall: =mouth=

He didn't expect that the boy was also a child of London, so they could go to London together.

But he didn't like the hint from the coach, he pouted and said, "But I think Manchester United is the best team, and there is no other team in London that can match it."

The head coach laughed and nodded vigorously: "Of course, of course. The only team that can compare with us is Liverpool."

But Randall Jr. didn't like what he said.

He looked at the coach with →_→ small eyes, looked at the Liverpool man, as if he saw a traitor.

Because his little expression was so funny and his eyes were so easy to understand, the coach pointed at himself innocently and said, "I'm an Everton fan, not Liverpool."

But you're not a Manchester United fan either, Randall thought, but what he said was: "You will be a Manchester United fan, if not in the past, not in the present, and in the future."

How can this be?

The coach laughed, but he wasn't going to reject the cute red kid outright.

Randall seemed to know what he was thinking, pointed to his nose and said: "Chris, listen up, I will make you a Manchester United fan, and you will definitely become a Manchester United fan."

Now the head coach can't help but talk.

He couldn't help rubbing his little head, but he had to be careful when doing this, because this squeamish person was very concerned about his hairstyle.

However, this does not prevent him from doing so, and it does not prevent him from saying in the most gentle voice: "Then I will wait, waiting for you to conquer me."

Randall was happy.

He generously handed over the biscuit in his hand, "For you."

If it was other children, they would definitely be overjoyed at this time, but the coach asked very understandingly: "Randy, are you going to give this to Raphael?"

Randall nodded generously.

Then the coach smiled and said: "It seems that you really like him, and I will call his father to confirm. Okay, good boy, you can go home. By the way, thank you for the biscuit. "

Randall told the coach: "We must fight, and we must praise us with his father."

The coach laughed again.

The next day is Monday.

So Randall waited until after school in the afternoon to get to Cliff, and he sprinted all the way to the locker room after getting out of the car, looking at the coach breathlessly after seeing him.

The coach laughed and said, "His dad said he would come."

Randall couldn't be happier.

However, he didn't see the lovely blond boy that day.

Then there are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays...

It made Randall realize that the super good-looking blond boy might not be in front of him anymore.

Because it was too sad, he still couldn't help crying with his best friend Michael.

But instead of sympathizing with him, Michael laughed at him.

Later, his father told him that friends are also possessive.

Michael is his best friend, he may be Michael's best friend, and he probably doesn't want a third person between them.

This made little Randall feel very unreasonable.

He told his father: "But the math teacher said that the triangle is the most stable structure."

And then he got daddy's blank stare.

Randall snorted, which was why he didn't like Dad that much.

What is Raphael doing these days?

Watch houses with dad, shop for furniture, visit his siblings' new school, and of course his own.

After that, he transferred to another school, and was surrounded by his new classmates as if they were monkeys. He had to restrain himself, don't get angry, let alone do anything, it was too difficult.

After that, because of Papi's coquettish offensive, he had to invite these disliked classmates to his home and join his party.

It was his first so-called party.

Not only was Raphael unhappy, but he also cared about money.

But Dad said: "It's normal, it didn't open before, because the prices in London are a bit high, and the prices in Manchester are lower. Of course I will do it for you. Not only do you have the party, but Roni and Javier have theirs too." Party."

However, in this case, it can be understood by little Rafa's ears as——

The money could not have been spent, but because Javier made a mistake and was fired, they had to move, change schools, party, and spend money!

So it's all Javier's fault!

He should kick his ass off!

His new classmates are messing up the house, and he doesn't like the so-called classmates who just yell at other people's houses.

Fortunately, after the party, on Saturday, he was finally able to play football.

This time Dad drove him to Cliff himself in their new car.

Dad seemed to be in a good mood, but Raphael only had $ in his heart.

Yes, he was worried about money, money for moving house, money for a new car.

Hughes watched his son sitting in the safety seat, fiddling with the zipper of the bag, and asked softly: "Rafa, do you regret it? If you don't want to go to Manchester United, we can go to Manchester City, it's okay Try Liverpool and Everton and others. Not far from home."

However, to his shock, his son opened his mouth and asked: "Are they paying more than Manchester United?"

Hughes: "..."

Well, he finally understood what his little one was thinking.

This made him very distressed, but compared to explaining to his son——

In fact, our family is not that poor, and he wants to tell his son: "Rafa, after we come to Manchester, we will usher in a new life. Dad will let us live a better life, and money is not something you need to consider. Has Roni told you this before?"

Raphael nodded obediently.

His sister would say the same thing, but he still goes to church every weekend to get bread...

But he didn't want to tell Dad that.

So he said: "Then I will play football well and play football obediently."

Because moving is really too expensive, he doesn't want to move anymore.

Hughes laughed.

He still has some things he wants to say to this little angel, but he can leave those words at home.

When they came to Cliff again, Hughes reported the names of himself and his son, and they were released.

Rafael's memory is very good. He guided Dad to the parking lot and saw that there was already a staff member waiting for them there.

Afterwards, they were taken to a dressing room that Raphael had never been to, and met a middle-aged man who was the head coach of Manchester United's first team.

His accent was so heavy that it made him dizzy, and even though he tried to listen, he still couldn't catch what he and Dad said.

So much so that when his father was about to sign, he jumped off the sofa without holding back, came to his father and asked in a low voice in Spanish: "Papi, is there a signing fee? I heard that you will be paid when you sign."

Hughes was amused, but he also knew that he could no longer let his son worry about the family's financial affairs.

At the moment, Manchester United's first-team coach Ferguson is also looking at them curiously.

To be precise, he was looking at this father and this son.

The reason for this is that Harrison, the director of Manchester United's youth training center, told him that this kid who was expelled from Chelsea for beating someone has a talent no less than Randall.

Randall is his sweetheart, he loves him so much, and has been paying attention to his growth.

So he knew how good he was, but suddenly there was a kid comparable to him, how could Ferguson not be surprised, and how could he not meet this kid in person?

He originally thought this would be a problem child, but when the child came to his office, he sat obediently on the sofa and watched his father talk to him.

Even if I want to express some of my own little opinions at this moment, I still snuggle up to my father so intimately.

It made him think of Randall, the little sweetheart who was so tired of his mother.

So the child in front of him is definitely not a bad boy.

He patiently waited for their father and son to communicate, and after they had come to an end, he smiled, pointed at the photos in the office one by one, and introduced him with the slowest speaking speed.

Like this is Bobby Charlton, that's Daniel Law...

They are all players who have won the Ballon d'Or...

Finally he looked at the good boy and said: "Rafa, good boy, let's take a picture. I hope that one day in the future, your picture will appear in this office, in the Manchester United museum, and This moment is also considered by the fans to be the most important moment for the club."

He said so, and he hoped so.

Busby has his kids, and he has a future of his own.

Because he slowed down his speech as much as possible, Raphael basically understood it.

But just because he understood, he looked at the coach with more vigilance——

Because Ronnie said, don't be a glib person.

And the man in front of him should meet the "glib" standard.

But his papi patted his little butt at the moment, which was obviously a sign of encouragement, so he graciously agreed.

But before that, he felt the need to correct the coach a little bit.

"If you want to motivate me and set a goal for me, I think Maradona is more suitable. I like Maradona, he is my idol and my goal."

After saying this, Raphael also raised his chin proudly.

The gentleman says that Bobby Charlton has won the World Cup, but England has only one and Argentina has two.

In the World Cup two years ago, Maradona even killed England in the quarter-finals.

So how could his goal be England?

Ferguson looked at the boy's firm eyes, then at the smiling Hughes, and finally understood why such a "cute" got into a fight.

But he is Alex Ferguson, and he has seen countless big scenes.

He just went around in a circle and came to Raphael, and then handed over to this proud boy who barely reached his waist.

"I hope to see that day, that must be my pride. Now can we let the photographer in? I will let him develop a few more pictures."

These words were so sweet that little Rafa also showed him his first smile when he came to Cliff base.

Hughes watched this scene with a smile.

He doesn't know much about football, and he is still making up lessons.

But now he believes what the head coach of the children's group told him. This club is obviously very good at dealing with all kinds of "bad boys".

After the photographer took the photo of Ferguson and Raphael shaking hands, Ferguson asked the staff to send Raphael to the children's group.

Raphael thought his dad would go with him, but he found that wasn't the case.

He couldn't help looking at Ferguson, and saw Ferguson say: "Good boy, you are going to train, and I still have to talk to your father, mainly about your training."

He thought Rafael would leave like this, but what he didn't expect was that the kid actually looked at him and said, "Then will I have a signing fee? When I was in Argentina, I heard that as long as I signed it, there would be a signing fee, Boca Just give it to me."

Ferguson didn't know how he reacted at the moment, because he was a little dazed.

This kid is asking him for a signing fee using his little milk voice, right?

He looked at Hughes again and saw him lip-synching himself, which made Ferguson think for a moment and say, "Yes, you have a signing fee, but you keep it a secret. Because of our business philosophy with the Argentine team are different."

Raphael doesn't care about those, he only cares about what he has.

After confirming that he had obtained the benefits that belonged to him, he happily made a promise to Ferguson that he would not say anything, then waved to his father, and walked out of the office without looking back.

After confirming his departure, Hughes said to Ferguson: "Thank you, sir, I know that the children don't have a signing fee."

More than nothing?

When parents send their children to the youth training camp, they often have to pay clothing and nutrition fees, and some children who need special transfers have to pay another fee.

Ferguson said with a smile: "He is an excellent kid, and he can realize his own value. I think he can get the signing fee at Boca because he is good enough."

Hughes is not a parent who likes to praise his children without a bottom line, but after hearing Ferguson's words, he couldn't help showing off a little.Three (iii) YQχδ.℃òΜ

"I think so, so it took a lot of effort to help him terminate his contract with Boca."

Ferguson laughed when he heard this, and joked: "Maybe it's because they paid the signing fee for your son."

Hughes also smiled, and saw Ferguson looking at him.

"You left me, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Ferguson said: "It is like this. As a Scot, I like what Rafa just said very much. I admire him for having such a great goal at the age of 8. I personally also admire Maradona very much. But I think the kids at the Manchester United training camp, maybe not so easy to accept. Do you understand what I mean?"

Hughes nodded with a wry smile.

Of course he understands.

Maradona stabbed the England team twice, whether it was the "devil's hand" or the one with five players in a row.

As much as the Argentines admired him, England fans hated him.

Ferguson looked at him and said: "Usually children will integrate into the team very quickly. But I think Rafa may need a year or two. It's not a language problem, it's not an ability, and it's not because of his personality, but because of his personality." thinking. This kid already has his own unique mind. And all I can do is assure you that we will take care of him as best we can, but if he doesn't make progress, or keep up, or reach our target, then we will abandon him."

After he finished speaking, he saw Hughes nodded in a very refreshing way.

This is too happy...

When the Scottish coach was puzzled, Hughes asked: "Rafa has changed the youth academy once. I don't want him to change again, and I don't think I can find a better suit for him than Manchester United.

In order for him to integrate faster and adapt to everything here, what can I do? "

This made Ferguson a little appreciative of this father.

When the adults were communicating, on the training ground, Randall once again saw the blond, blue-eyed Raphael, who was a head shorter than him.

The moment he saw him, he was about to jump up!

The kid followed the staff and their head coach Chris walked over. It seemed that he had chosen to join Manchester United.

This made Randall very proud.

He even wanted to say to the head coach: Look, Chris, Manchester United is the best team, much better than Liverpool.

Chris finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Raphael who came with the staff.

In fact, he was also worried that Raphael would eventually choose other clubs in London. You must know that there are too many, too many teams in London.

He doesn't have to be asked by Randall every day, "When will Raphael report for duty?"

This also made him look at Randall, and sure enough, he saw the little sweetheart showing a sweet smile, and the cute little dimples were waving at them.

This put Chris in a particularly good mood.

When he confirmed that the staff really sent Raphael to train, he thanked him.When the staff walked away, he also squatted down and talked to Rafael: "Raphael, I am very glad that you and your father chose Manchester United. It is our honor. I heard that you played as a striker at Chelsea. ? What's your favorite position?"

The reason why he chose this way of equal communication is also because this child left him a deep impression.

Whether it's the performance during the trial training, or the sentence "too far" that almost became his nightmare.

But this boy with too much personality shattered his three views at this moment——

I saw the boy coolly pulled his hand out of his pocket, pointed at his little sweetheart Randall, and said proudly: "It doesn't matter what position you play, the important thing is that I want the No. 10 jersey."

After Raphael said this, it wasn't just Chris who was shocked?

Those children who kept peeking here, and of course Randall himself, were dumbfounded at the moment.

What did that guy say?

But when he saw the shining finger Raphael extended, Randall was also angry.

He no longer wants to be friends with a guy who is already thinking about how to steal his jersey before this guy becomes his teammate!

He directed at Raphael, angrily said with the loudest voice in his life: "Number 10 is mine, you can take it away if you have the ability!"

Facing his guardian declaration, Raphael's eyes also fell on him.

Randall straightened out his small chest, this guy is a head shorter than him, what is there to be proud of!Come if you have the ability!

Chris: "..."

He was so happy when he saw Raphael, but now he has such a headache.

What's scarier than having two super-geniuses?

Of course, these two geniuses are incompatible!

Their internal strife or something will make the entire locker room turmoil, even if they are just a U9-level echelon, he is the most authoritative person.

But at this time, Chris couldn't be on Raphael's side.

This is not because of his preference for Randall, but for Raphael to learn the rules of Manchester United.

So he said to the other children: "Listen together, too."

After saying this, he said to Rafael: "Rafa, you are very strong, everyone knows that. But Randall came earlier than you, he won this job by his own ability jersey.

If you think you deserve number 10, you can go for it yourself.

If at the start of next season I approve of your performance, then that shirt is yours. "

Speaking of this, Chris looked at the other children: "I hope you can also have the courage of Rafa. Do you want to be the main player of the team? Do you want to have the number you like? Then work hard. Let me recognize you! "

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Randall, and found that the child was no longer angry, so he looked at Raphael again.

He thought that he would be angry if he didn't agree to the little guy's request, but who knew that when he looked over, Raphael just nodded at him and said, "You said that, I can get that piece with my own ability." jersey."

Chris couldn't help but laugh.

This was the first time he saw such a child who was so confident that he could be described as conceited or even arrogant.

But he doesn't hate this kind of Rafael, because the kid doesn't want to get the No. 10 jersey through him, but wants to get his fairness.

So he promised: "If you can do it. But I also want to remind you that this is Manchester United, and the more legendary number here is No. 7."

Raphael: →_→

who cares about that?

Chris was amused by his little eyes again, and then he pushed Raphael and said: "Okay, you go to training. There is a game tomorrow. If your performance is good enough, you can play tomorrow. Uh, tomorrow we Will prepare your jersey. You will be number 20."

After hearing the "Number 20" he deliberately emphasized, Raphael gave him a blank stare, and then ran to the other children.

Chris gave the assistant coach a wink, then stepped aside to observe.

He found that after Rafael ran over, he didn't run to the center of the children, that is, Randall's side, but ran directly behind them and followed the assistant coach's actions.

This made him raise his eyebrows, and then he sighed again.

This kid doesn't seem to fit in, and doesn't want to fit in.

A few minutes later, he heard a call: "Chris, come here."

He took a look and found that it was Harrison's assistant, their youth training director. When he came to Harrison's office, he found that it was not Harrison who was looking for him, but the first team coach Ferguson.

He discussed with Ferguson for a few minutes, and complained to his boss Harrison, and when he returned to the training ground, the children were already resting.

He saw that Randall was still the center of everyone, and Raphael was drinking water alone, but the child didn't care at all.

This is not good, he waved to Raphael, and called Randall again.

He was a little unhappy to see the two little guys, but they came to him obediently.

He told them: "I know that you may be arrogant and think that you are better than your peers, you are the best, but from now on, you are going to train with U10s, but you will play in U9s.

Because you were transferred, the two of you have to warm up together and practice passing and catching together-no objection is allowed, this is the final decision. "

He thought the two brats would protest, but he was wrong.

Because the two children opened their eyes round, and then raised their little chins.

Chris hadn't figured it out before, but now he understood—

These two kids thought they were better than their peers, so they were promoted to U10.

They are happy about this, and this kind of happiness is enough to let them temporarily put down their displeasure with each other.

He wants to tell them, that's not the case, you haven't been promoted to U10 yet, you just train with them, but it's useless to say it now, right?

But he had something to say, but this time to all the children.

He clapped his hands and said to all the children: "Everyone knows that Rafa joined us today. His dad has prepared a party. After tomorrow's game, we can go to Rafa's house for the party, and you can go home Tell your family, who doesn't remember to tell me."

As soon as he mentioned the party, Rafael's face fell down.

Party again?

Not only does his family need to spend money, but he also has to be messed up by these impolite children?

But after listening to what Chris said, he began to look forward to——

Don't come here, reject me.

In his anticipation, Randall was the first to puff out his small chest and said, "I won't go!"

Raphael was happy.

Because he knew that this guy was the leader of many people, and if he didn't go, many people would definitely not go.

It was right to snatch his jersey.

And just as he expected, there were many children who couldn't say it one after another.

What made Raphael feel incomprehensible was that there were still some children who were willing to go, not only saying they were willing to participate, but also saying that they would bring him gifts, and even came to befriend him.

Little Rafa thought they were too strange, why did you come here?

And Chris couldn't help shaking his head watching this scene.

Well, those children who are not so good and can't get together with Randall now have a backbone.

His U9 echelon is now officially split into two forces.

When the training is over, their parents come to pick them up.

Randall has always been a jerk kid, but this time he was super fast.

Because he wants to go home as fast as he can, and he's going to talk to his best friend Michael about the weirdo who wants to steal his jersey!

But when he left the locker room, his eyes lit up.

Because he saw the man who was talking to other parents at a glance.

Look, blonde!

Look, blue eyes!

Look, long legs!

Ah, that perfect smile!

Is that Raphael's dad?

No wonder he was upset when he said that Raphael's mother was good-looking, because the good-looking one in his family was his father!

Such a handsome dad!

He is so envious!

He couldn't hold back any more, and ran over in a hurry.

Raphael was very surprised when he saw this scene, wipe, wipe, wipe!

What about this "sissy", he actually came to sue?

How could he bring things on the field to the field!

In his worry, Randall had run to their side and looked up to sweetly call "Uncle" to his dad.

Hughes couldn't help laughing the moment he saw Randall, he thought he knew who the kid was.

He knelt down and greeted him, "You must be Randall, right? You still have cute dimples."

Raphael: ヽ('⌒?メ)ノ

This bastard, why is he smiling at his father? Is it a big deal to have dimples?

And amidst his glare, Randall gave a sweeter smile.

He originally wanted to blow Raphael's father a wave.

But thinking of the experience that he wanted to flatter Michael but unfortunately got the horse's leg, he regained his reserve and just asked, "Uncle, do you want to throw a party for Raphael?"

Hughes smiled and nodded: "Yes, I hope you can understand each other. We will prepare delicious Argentine roast beef tomorrow night. I hope you and your parents can come to participate. The coach will send them the address."

Raphael was about to tell Dad that this guy wasn't coming.

However, Randall said first: "Okay, I like Rafa very much, and I will definitely come with my parents!"

Raphael: ヽ('⌒?メ)ノ

Is this guy shameless?

Why should he come to our house for roast beef?Why?

On this day, Randall found happiness again, and he even considered whether to treat Raphael better.

On the second day, they won the game.

It was Raphael's first win at Manchester United.

But he wasn't happy at all—

Not only did all the children bring their parents to his house to eat and drink for free, but that "sissy" also took advantage of her dimples to show cuteness to his father and surrounded his sister.

He declares that this "sissy" is his most hated person!

He will not allow him to come to his house again!

Randall was so happy this weekend.

The Argentinian roast beef is super delicious, and he thinks it can teach Lao Li a lesson.

Uncle Albert is super gentle, he can play the guitar and sing, and all the ladies in the room like him.

Veronica was like a beautiful rose, so he couldn't help it, so he folded a rose from a napkin and gave it to her.

He wanted to send her a bouquet of roses on Valentine's Day next year, which would definitely make her more beautiful.
