Members of the China TV crew who followed Manchester United for around-the-clock filming, Tencent.com, and Sports Weekly reporters also promptly introduced Genbao’s identity to the surrounding Manchester United players, and Gu Fei was inspired by the coach to contribute to Riyue Island’s football team.

The investment of 20 million pounds in the training base also makes the players feel particularly familiar. This is the style that one's own boss should have.

When they heard that the old coach even sold the house where he lived for retirement in order to develop the football base, these Manchester United players sincerely admired the old man.

After all, only those with a sincere love for football will devote their efforts to youth training for years, just for the sake of an illusory future.

As football players, Manchester United players know that if they can meet such a coach in a player's career, everything will be worth it.

Almost instantly, the Manchester United players looked at the old man with great respect. This respect was not affected by other factors, only pure passion for football.

The coach also felt the enthusiasm of the Manchester United players for the first time. He raised his hand to greet everyone, using broken English, but it was so sonorous and powerful!

There was warm applause in the bus, and the atmosphere became more harmonious!

…………

After half an hour's drive, the team successfully arrived at the football base. At the entrance of the base, everyone saw the stone shaped like a giant turtle, which was the symbol of the base!

"Creating China's Manchester United"

The big red characters on the boulder shocked all the reporters. No Chinese club had ever dared to say such bold words, but Genbao was working silently in the remote countryside of Riyue Island!

In later generations, when the fame of Genbao Football School spread throughout the country, people knew the significance of this huge stone and understood the old man’s painstaking efforts for Chinese football. As the reputation of the football base grew, more and more people and

The story about the coach was promoted by the media and became well-known to Chinese fans, which also made the efforts of the coach Genbao more legendary.

"To set up a base based on treasure, we want to destroy Manchester United. God will give us a treasure land."

This seems to be God's will. It has been decided like this. Open roads over mountains and build bridges over rivers. If there is a problem, then find a way to solve it.

Lao Shuai went to get a loan, but because there was nothing that could be used as collateral, the bank could not lend him the money. Local government officials suggested that if it didn't work, just buy the land. Lao Shuai gritted his teeth and bet all his net worth 800.

Ten thousand yuan, I bought this land and got a mortgage loan of 23 million yuan.

Even though the interest on loan repayment is relatively low, it is still a large expense. Therefore, after the base was built, Lao Shuai went to the Tourism Bureau and wanted to apply for the football base as a tourist attraction. Through tickets, accommodation and catering

, earn some money to subsidize the base.

The earliest ticket price is 5 yuan. Even though the prices outside are soaring, the ticket price at Genbao Football Base is still cost-effective. With only 10 yuan, you can get close to the cradle of Chinese football.

Phone bills are checked one by one, and monthly expenditures are checked repeatedly to reduce unnecessary waste. After others use the bathroom, he will follow behind to see if the lights are turned off.

Some of the vacant land in the base was also transformed by the old coach to grow kohlrabi. Everyone thought it was strange, so they put signs on the side with the names of each national team.

In short, the football atmosphere cannot be missing.

The old man said that he was not a business person, but under the pressure of reality, he was forced out alive.

If friends from the media come to visit, as long as they can come to the base to stay and spend money, you can have an exclusive interview with the coach. As a fan, you can also buy a commemorative football, and then go to Mr. Xu to get his autograph and take a group photo.

The old man regarded all his guests as people who came to help him, and he was grateful.

"In this environment of Chinese football, there are still people who pay attention to football. Coming to take a photo with me shows that they recognize me." In this way, the coach became an 'escort' who would accompany him to eat, drink and take photos with him, and he had no complaints.

No regrets.

The reporters also know that Mr. Xu is having a hard time, and they will say hello in advance before going over, so as not to let Mr. Xu spend money. In the base, coffee is a high consumption. In order to support the old man, a senior reporter once brought dozens of friends with him for a day.

Drink coffee three times.

The old man wants to make money and save money, but he will never play tricks on the children.

Mr. Xu also knows very well that if parents choose to let their children play football, their families may not be wealthy. Therefore, 600 yuan a month is only a symbolic fee, but it covers all aspects of children's food, clothing, housing, transportation, study and training, etc.

cost.

You must know that this fee is far from enough. Mr. Xu will pay the remaining part out of his own pocket to fill the vacancy. A student subsidy is 20,000 yuan. If 100 students are recruited, the expenditure in this area alone will reach 2 million yuan a year.

Yuan.

At the end of 2005, the club invested by Binhai East Asia Group was officially established, with Genbao Football Base as one of the shareholders, accounting for 60%. The additional investment from the group made him relieved, and he turned around without any hesitation. The old man took out the money directly.

He spent 500,000 yuan to hire a French coach. Xu Genbao was very willing to spend money on his children.

"If you want too much, God will not give it to you." Let's talk about giving first, regardless of reward. This is Lao Shuai's philosophy of doing things.

God is watching what people do, and God will also favor people like Mr. Xu and let blessings come to him.

Perhaps the old man could never have imagined that the wasteland he invested all his wealth in purchasing on Chongming Island could later be sold for hundreds of millions when resold.

In an interview, the old coach also revealed that he still had the opportunity to buy the 300 acres of land next to him at a price of 10,000 yuan per acre, but he gave up.

The old man in front of the camera was very open-minded, "If I had really bought it back then, this land would have been worth 180 million yuan. Wouldn't my base be able to maintain it for a long time and develop sustainably?"

However, the old man didn't have too many regrets. He believed that this was God's arrangement and everything was the best choice.

In the old man's mind, making money has never been for utilitarian purposes, only sustainable development. Everything is for the base to survive better.

Although the old coach often leaves Sun Moon Island, his heart always stays here and remains with the children. Whether he is coaching a professional club or serving as a general consultant, he has only one purpose, which is to make money to support the base.

In this life, the intervention of ‘Universal Investment’ has saved the old coach a lot of troubles and made his health better. The 63-year-old man is in good spirits and can still work hard for another twenty years!

When 'Huanyu Investment' invested in the training base, it did not dilute all the shares of the old man. It even had special provisions for the appreciation of the base land to protect the interests of the old man Genbao, in order to prevent the old man from losing money.

Chilling.

In the future, if the land price of the football base rises sharply, 'Universal Investment' will also pay Genbao a sufficient premium based on the increase, so that he can enjoy the dividends of the appreciation of the base.

"We hope that this base can become the Carrington of China, where many football talents can be cultivated, and Manchester United will play its own role in this process!" At this time, Gu Fei, without hesitation, became the leader of the team.

The tour guide who introduced the base took his teammates off the bus and introduced them to every corner of the base.

In the past four years, although the media did not take photos of Gu Fei coming to the football base, almost every time he returned to Binhai, he would come to the training base quietly. Every change here, Gu Fei

It's all clear.

"BOSS, the facilities here are in good condition!" Ronaldo, who had just stepped into the base and looked around, soon discovered that the lawn not far away was not an artificial lawn, but a natural lawn of the same level as Carrington.

Although hardware facilities do not mean everything, good facilities will definitely contribute to better training results.

"Only when children are trained in the best environment can they be exposed to the true meaning of football!" At this point, the proud expression on Gu Fei's face was palpable, and he was happy to introduce the construction of the base to his teammates.

Because of the intervention of "Huanyu Investment", the football training base has been freed from the financial constraints since the summer of 2003, and all hardware facilities are on par with world-class standards.

This training base covers a total area of ​​100 acres, which is larger than Carrington. In order to isolate the base from the outside world, dense woods are planted around it.

In this training base, there are 16 high-quality training grounds of varying sizes. All players do not have to worry about the quality of the turf. There are dedicated turf management personnel to maintain the turf throughout the year. During training, everyone chooses the one with better quality.

Played on various venues. These courts of different sizes ensure that players can find and maintain good condition before the big game.

In addition, there is an indoor training ground with a badminton court, physical therapy room, massage room, and swimming pool. These are all places to ensure that players maintain good condition. There is also a very complete laundry room next to the locker room.

There are dedicated staff responsible for ensuring the normal operation of the washing machine. Players' clothes and other daily clothes can enjoy perfect washing and ironing here.

"To be honest, this base is being constructed in accordance with Carrington's standards. Before I bought Manchester United, I had plans to make it the Carrington of China!" introducing the infrastructure in the base to his teammates.

Construction, Gu Fei did not hide his ambition at all, after all, the people in front of him were his own people.

"Boss, how does it feel to draw the blueprint with your own hands?" Rooney is not surprised by Gu Fei's generosity. After all, the boss who can give each team member a Bentley luxury car, if the training base he builds is small-minded.

, that’s what’s weird.

"In the future, we will have the opportunity to draw a more ambitious blueprint together!" Regarding Rooney's question, Gu Fei did not answer directly, but said: "In the new season, our goal is to win all the championships. I don't know if you have any

No confidence?"

Gu Fei's sudden question made the Manchester United players feel proud, and they all responded: "Have confidence!"

For Manchester United last season, the biggest regret was that they were tied at home by their arch-rival Arsenal, missing the opportunity to win all the championships and making history.

Now that the new season is about to start, Manchester United, as the 'Quadruple Champions', is about to encounter the biggest obstacle in history, but all the players hope in their hearts that they can become a part of making history.

Although Manchester United did not encounter much resistance in the past two commercial games, Manchester United's generals clearly feel that the team's strength is stronger than last season, and they have more confidence in the future.

The excitement of the Manchester United players attracted the attention of nearby media reporters. They vaguely heard the slogans of the Manchester United players, and they were also stunned by the ambitious goals set by Manchester United for the new season!

After all, in the long professional league season that is composed of leagues and other cup competitions, the miracle of undefeated victory has never happened in the history of world football!

Generally speaking, winning all 7 games in the cup is the best performance a team can achieve, but Manchester United wants to go one step further and try to maintain a complete victory in a long season, which is undoubtedly very difficult.

.

However, reporters thought that last season Manchester United only tied one game among the four fronts, and the rest of the games ended in wins, and they also have more expectations for Manchester United's performance in the new season.

Since entering the training base, reporters have been stunned by the complete facilities in the base, whether it is an international-level lawn, the world's best indoor training hall, complete supporting facilities, player apartments, etc., even if it is used to provide the country

The team training is more than enough, but Gu Fei and Coach Genbao use such a good base to train a group of children under the age of 18.

The reporters didn't know whether they should complain about Gu Fei's waste of resources or praise them for attaching great importance to youth training?

When the Manchester United team walked to the training ground, the young players on the field were having a training match. A small and thin player made a deft counter-offside move and got a chance to face the goalkeeper alone, but when he looked up and saw Gu Fei

When he was standing not far away, he kicked the ball away and headed straight for a group of Manchester United superstars!

Gu Fei stretched out his foot to stop the ball firmly. Before he could say anything, the old coach started scolding him!

"Wu Shitou, kick the sword away again and run 10 laps by yourself!" The old coach stood on the sidelines with full firepower, and his aura suddenly unfolded.

An expression of deep approval appeared on Sir Alex Ferguson's face. Although he could not understand everything the coach meant, he could understand the general meaning through his special sense in the field of football.

The Manchester United players suddenly realized that the old man and the Chinese coach had a great conversation just now, and the auras of the two were so similar.

Wu Shitou made a face at everyone and ran back to the team. However, when he was running, he was hit in the back of the head by Gu Fei's ball like a cruise missile. He almost fell to the ground, which immediately caused everyone in the scene to shout.
