Starting from the city, heading eastward, and walk on the Yangtze River Tunnel and Bridge

After more than half an hour's drive, I finally set foot on Chongming Island.

Compared with the bustling Dragon Sea on the other side, Chongming Island has a unique flavor.

There are no tall buildings or bustling blocks here. Through the car windows, you can see the densely packed low buildings in the distance, connecting the blue sky.

Because the shipyard of Shengxi Yacht and other supporting factories are all on Chongming Island, Yang Huan has not been here, but for some reason, every time he comes, he feels very special.

Maybe it’s because the difference between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait is too big.

According to the navigation, after entering Chongming Island, there is still about half an hour's drive.

So, Yang Huan was not in a hurry, but he was a little surprised.

How could I call Mr. Xu, who is proud, call himself and invite him to visit his football school?

Yang Huan couldn't figure it out a bit.

If it were ten years earlier, he might feel that this might be a place to attract investment.

Everyone knows that Mr. Xu founded this football school back then, but he struggled to have no funds and even became a escort in order to raise money.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I just use Mr. Xu’s fame and status in the football circle to accompany me to eat, drink and take photos.

But now, he has made it through. His team is also a well-known strong team in the Chinese Super League, and it is not short of money at all.

Yang Huan couldn't figure it out, but he still respected Mr. Xu very much.

I have wanted to meet him many times, and he even went to football schools twice himself, but he was not able to meet anyone, which is very regretful.

It's rare that Yang Huan will not be polite this time.

Chongming Island is in a rectangular shape in the northwest and southeast. The exit of the Yangtze River Bridge is to the east, but the football school is to the west.

Therefore, after getting on the island, heading west and walking for about half an hour.

Following the direction of the navigation reminder, I finally arrived at the gate of the football school.

"No wonder General Fan would say that he would fight outside with a machine gun at night, don't expect to hit anyone!"

Yang Huan smiled and shook her head. This is really a good place.

However, as a football school, it is too remote and feels like it is a bit of a circle of players.

The security guard at the door stopped the car. After asking, he should have received a notice, so he let it go directly.

Long Wu drove the car all the way inside.

When I started a football school, I had no money or funds, so I built a hotel and built a tourist attraction to attract tourists to generate income.

This made Yang Huan look at it, and he admired Mr. Xu, who was already over 70 years old.

If all Chinese footballers could have the spirit of Mr. Xu, then would Chinese football be afraid that there would be no hope?

The car had just stopped in the parking lot in front of the training building and got out of the car. From a distance, I saw Mr. Xu coming down with his assistants and walking towards him. Yang Huan immediately smiled and greeted him.

"Old Xu, I finally saw you!" Yang Huan held his hands.

Although Xu is not young, he is still energetic and looks very strong.

"Haha, Master Huan, welcome, welcome!"

Yang Huan waved to Long Wu behind him, and Long Wu immediately walked up, "Old Xu, I came in a hurry and didn't prepare anything. I'm so careful, I don't respect me."

"Hey, Mr. Huan, what are you doing?" Old Xu suddenly became a little unhappy.

"It's good that this person is here, why do you still bring gifts?"

Yang Huan laughed, "A little care for the younger generation."

Long Wu walked over and held a small handbag in his hand, which could hold a notebook.

notebook?

Mr. Xu looked at Yang Huan with difficulty. The latter thrust his mouth and signaled that he could take it out and take a look.

There is no way, and when I take it out, I feel that it is no different from an ordinary laptop. At worst, it is all in English.

"Open it and take a look." Yang Huan smiled.

Mr. Xu could only open the cover and saw a sentence in English on the blank page below the cover.

But the point is not this sentence in English, but the signature below.

"Ferguson?" Boss Xu was shocked, his hands trembled a little.

He was afraid that he would read it wrong, so he got closer and looked carefully. It was indeed Ferguson, that's right.

Oh my God, this is actually a sentence written by Ferguson.

"Master Huan, this is..."

Yang Huan nodded, "It's indeed Ferguson's handwriting!"

The footballer Mr. Xu admires most in his life is Ferguson.

Even when he founded this football school, it felt a bit like Ferguson's learning experience.

Mr. Xu can see some shadows of Ferguson in many places.

"Master Huan, this gift is too expensive, I..."

As he said that, Mr. Xu was about to hand it back.

Yang Huan blocked his hand halfway through, "Whether this gift is expensive depends on the person. At least I believe that only Mr. Xu has its true value!"

After saying this, Mr. Xu was really reluctant to let it go, so he could only take it back with a smile.

"By the way, Master Huan, what does this sentence mean?"

"Oh, this is a sentence Ferguson likes very much, meaning that everyone needs to face challenges at any time so that our lives will never be monotonous!"

Mr. Xu nodded unstoppablely and pondered deeply, "Yes, Ferguson has been practicing one sentence for his life!"

After sighing for a while, he took away the gift with great care and then accompanied Yang Huan to visit everywhere.

Yang Huan smiled slightly and looked around, "Well, Mr. Xu, your place is big enough."

“There are more than one hundred acres.”

Yang Huan nodded repeatedly and said jokingly: "Look, many people don't understand you."

"What do you say?" Mr. Xu asked with a smile.

"If I remember correctly, such a large piece of land, your football school only spent 20 to 30 million yuan a decade ago, right? If this is the only piece of land to be sold, it will be more than this price!"

Mr. Xu laughed loudly when he heard this, "Or do you like it? I understand me, that's the reason!"

After laughing, he sighed again.

"Actually, many people like to make quick money and are used to making quick money. Therefore, they don't believe it at all. It is also quite profitable to do football down-to-earth. They don't understand it at all, and they don't want to understand it!"

Yang Huan also agrees with this view.

If you want to develop professional football, you have to first treat it as a business.

Mr. Xu has feelings, but his mindset in doing business is definitely not bad.

Not to mention, how much is it worth to get this land so cheaply, invest in football schools, and train so many international players and players?

This is not something that money can measure!

He has made it through now, and only one sentence is needed, and there are definitely many interested people who invest in him.

Are you still afraid of having no money?

"Master Huan, this time, I took the liberty to invite you to come. This is the first thing I believe you have received the news."

Yang Huan nodded. He had indeed received the news when he came back this time.

"You are going to sell the football club?"

"Yeah!" Mr. Xu nodded, "But, this football school is my lifeblood and I can't sell it."

"Originally, I invited you to come because I hope that you, the boss who knows football best in Europe, can give me advice. You know, I am not young and can't go to Europe to visit your Saints' training base. I happened to hear that you are back again, so I asked someone for your phone number and invited you to come and have a walk."

"It's okay, Mr. Xu is destined to come no matter what!" Yang Huan said with a smile.

"In addition, I heard that you plan to open a youth training coaching class in China. I hope to arrange a few places for us. You also know that the youth training environment in China is very bad now. Even if we are here, the quality of personnel is incomparable to Europe. Therefore, if you have the opportunity to study with your youth training coaches in Southampton, this is a good opportunity!"

Yang Huan laughed and said, "Okay, there's no need to mention the quota, just draw a list for us!"

"Then I will thank Master Huan!"

"Why are you so polite?" Yang Huan waved her hand with a smile.

For him, this was really just a small effort.

"At first, I was a little discouraged, but just now, when I heard Ferguson's words, I felt uncomfortable and I couldn't sit still!"

After saying that, Mr. Xu laughed at himself.

"What? Mr. Xu is interested, and then form a team and compete in the professional league?"
