Manchester United legend

Chapter 19
1992 is an extremely important year, and it is one of the important historical nodes for English football.This year, an extremely important and crucial thing happened to English football, that is, the League One team officially separated the game from the FA and reformed it into a new model of the English Premier League-referred to as the "Premier League".This is a landmark reform.

"From League One to Premier League is not a simple change of name, but a revolutionary reform. This is the innovation of the league model, the change of football concepts, the replacement of products, and a big event in marketing. The birth of the Premier League means that football games have changed from sports competitions to competitive entertainment programs, which means that football activities have completely shifted from sports competitions to marketization. The birth of the Premier League means that English football has opened a new page, and a new era of vitality has arrived."

This has nothing to do with Jost. Jost has been training seriously. She hopes to gain a foothold in the youth team and then enter the first team.

In a blink of an eye, the new season begins, and the new season is different from the past. It is called the "English Premier League" and everything is a new beginning.This season the media believes that Manchester United's opponents in the new season are Leeds United and Blackburn.

One is the champion of last season, and the other is an upstart who has just been promoted.

Several players from the Manchester United youth team were dropped into the first team to participate in training and experience the atmosphere of the first team, including Scholes, Butt, and Jost.This is the reward for their hard work.

Jost was dropped into the first team by Coach Ferguson to participate in training, which caused quite a stir in Manchester United. Why did Ferguson value an unknown young player so much.

All Manchester United players think Jost is Ferguson's illegitimate son.Otherwise, why live in Ferguson's house for a while?And Ferguson took such care of him, but this is just a private discussion among players, no one dares to say it to Ferguson's face, unless you don't want to hang out at Manchester United.

But in fact, this was the idea of ​​Kidd and Harrison. They believed that Jost should be rewarded for his hard work in training, and they also needed to find a role model for the first team.

Jost, Scholes and Bart have entered the first team in the new season. In the morning, Jost still ran to the Carrington training base.
The doorman, Uncle Fat John, saw Jost and greeted him: "Good morning, Paul!"

Jost: "Good morning, Uncle John!"

Fat Yue said, "Hey! Congratulations, kid, for entering the first-team training. It's much better than staying in the youth team. How is it? Doesn't it feel good?"

Jost explained: "The coach just let me train with the first team to experience the atmosphere of the first team. When the season starts, I will go back to the youth team to train."

Fat John nodded: "Oh, so that's the case! Then you have to work hard and get into the first-team roster as soon as possible."

Ferguson came to the Carrington training base early. The No. [-] parking space is the coach's parking space. After changing his clothes, Ferguson came to the training ground.

There was only Jost in the training field, and Jost was doing passing practice.

Ferguson walked over and shouted: "Paul, come here!"

Jost stopped passing practice and ran to Ferguson: "What's the matter, coach?"

Ferguson: "Did Kidd tell you to train with the first team these days?"

Jost: "Yes coach, I see."

Ferguson: "Well, try to represent the first team as soon as possible."

After a while, Manchester United players drove to training one after another.Manchester United captain Bryan Robson, Paul Ince, Mark Hughes are all here, they are warmly welcomed by the fans, they are the star players of Manchester United.

The three of Jost were brought into the locker room by Robson. They just opened the door, and Schmeichel was bragging with his teammates.

Manchester United is the most proud of the Danish goalkeeper Schmeichel, he just led the Danish team won the European Cup this summer.A Danish fairy tale was created.He triumphantly showed off the championship medal to his teammates in the locker room.The high-spirited Schmeichel encouraged his teammates to win the championship in the league and create another miracle.

He eagerly encouraged his teammates, and made exciting remarks like a leader, "Is our Danish team strong? Is it not strong? Will we win the championship in the end? Are our Manchester United strong? Not strong? Do you want to win the championship like me?"

"Think about it, Basten, Klinsmann, Gullit, Papin, Bergkamp and other superstars have all returned without success in front of the gate I guarded. Why do you have to worry?" Schmeichel aggressively encouraged his teammates, "Shiller? Honestly speaking, he is not a fierce man! Besides him, is there any fierce man in the league?"

"Manchester United must win! We are the champions!" His agitation was simple and direct, pointing to the hearts of the people. All the Red Devils felt as if a mysterious switch had been activated in their hearts. Their morale was suddenly high, and they were full of confidence in competing for the Premier League title!
After the first-team players change into their training uniforms, all players are confident in winning the championship this season.Jost also felt the atmosphere of Manchester United's dressing room for the first time.

Ferguson blew his whistle and shouted: "Assemble, assemble!" The players stood neatly in two rows.

The establishment of the Premier League stimulated Ferguson a lot. He said to the team: "The reform of the league is a good opportunity for us. The new league will be a new start, and this starting point is the same for everyone. And the new league provides us with more resources. I believe this is the best start for us to create a new history." Ferguson was full of spirits, and his English with a strong Scottish accent echoed in the training base. Aim for the undisputed league champion!"

The whole Red Devils team was excited, and the regret of almost winning the league title last season made everyone hungry. Captain Robson said in an interview with the Manchester Evening News, "We have touched the edge of the trophy, but in the end we still failed. If we can't work harder and win the championship this season, I want to say that is our biggest failure! We just want to be champions, and this is our season declaration!"

"Today, three players from the youth team came to train with you. You should help them more. Brian, I will hand them over to you."

Robson: "Good head!"

Because today is the first day of training, there is no high-intensity practice. Ferguson just let the players jog for a while, and then practice freely.

Some players like to train without the ball, some like to train with the ball, and some go indoors to practice strength.

Jost only knew Scholes and Butt, he was not too familiar with Giggs, so he has been training with Scholes and Butt.

The three of them warm up, stretch, and then do some speed work.Then the three of them went indoors to do strength exercises.

There are a lot of people indoors, and most players don't want to go outside for practice, they all want to do indoor practice.The temperature inside is air-conditioned and comfortable.

The three of them waited for free sports equipment.Steve Bruce, Mark Hughes, etc. After a while, a weightlifting machine became available.

Three people walked over, Scholes said: "We take turns to get this equipment, Jost you come first!"

Jost lay down and started lifting weights to exercise his upper body.Jost asked for a 50-pound weight (equivalent to less than 50 catties), and Jost started to practice. This weight is nothing to him.

Just after finishing a set of movements, Paul Ince came. Paul Ince saw that Jost wanted 50 pounds and smiled contemptuously: "Haha, rookie, do you only have this much strength? Get up and let me see."

Jost didn't want to cause trouble on the first day, so he gave up his place.Paul Ince lay down and asked for 100 pounds of weight, (equivalent to 90 catties) Paul Ince lifted it up with ease.Jost and the others watched from the sidelines.

After Paul Ince finished the last three sets (a set of six presses), Ince wanted to have fun, and he came up with three rookie ideas.

Ince said: "Which of the three of you can achieve the same weight and do more than me, I will give him 100 pounds. If you don't do more than me, how about losing 100 pounds to me? Bet or not?"

The three looked at each other, and Bart was unconvinced and went up first. He couldn't lift after two and a half sets.

Ince laughed out loud after watching it. Ince put Bart's £100 in his pocket and said, "Haha, a rookie is a rookie, and you guys are far behind me. Which one of you will come here."

Scholes knew that Jost was in good physical condition, so he said to Jost: "Go and win him, don't let him be so arrogant."

Jost nodded, Jost didn't say anything, and lay down on the fitness equipment, Jost started to press, one set, two sets, three sets... When Jost did eight sets of presses in one go, Ince's expression was not very good.Ince lost, he gave Jost £100.

Scholes and Bart were very happy and said that Jost was a monster.Unconvinced, Ince said to Jost, "Do rookies still dare to bet?"

Jost: "What bet?"

Ince: "Would you dare to bet £1000 on who lifts the heaviest this time?"

1000 pounds is not a small amount, which is enough for an average family to live for a month.

When the people around heard the bet, they all gathered around to watch the excitement.Jost looked at Scholes and Bart, and they said, "Bet with him, the worst case is that we will share the loss equally."

Jost said: "You just ask if you bet or not, and then I won't lose."

Jost drank Ince to start the game, Ince came first, and Ince called for a 200-pound weight. (almost 180 catties) intending to defeat Jost in one go, Ince raised his arms vigorously, showing the blue veins on his forehead.

The surrounding players applauded and Mark Hughes whistled.High fives with Ince.Hughes: "Hey man you're a freak!"

Ince laughed triumphantly.

It was Jost's turn, and Scholes and Bart were frowning. They thought Jost was doomed. More than 200 pounds is not much worse than weightlifters.They think that Jost is at most tied with Ince.

Ince asked Jost, "Hey! How many pounds do you want, rookie?"

Jost thought for a while: "230 pounds!"

What? People around 230 pounds thought Jost was crazy, he didn't look big and he wasn't particularly strong.It is impossible for him to lift it up, people think he is "pretending", and it is not too shameful not to be able to lift it up.Jost didn't know that he was being labeled as cunning.

Jost was lying on the equipment with a weight of 230 pounds (equivalent to 210 catties). People around him didn't think he could lift it.

Jost started pushing.
