Manchester United legend

Chapter 4 Homeless
After a tiring day of training, Jost returned to the Manchester United youth team dormitory. As soon as he arrived at the door of the dormitory, Kidd, the director of youth training, stopped him: "Jost, I have something to talk to you about!"

Jost: "What's the matter, Mr. Kidd?"

"Two things. The first thing is that you just turned 16 yesterday, so you can sign an apprenticeship contract with the Manchester United team. You can come to my office tomorrow to find me. I have already drawn up the contract. If you think you can, sign it quickly. The second thing is that since you have turned 16, you have to move out of the youth team's dormitory." You can no longer live in Manchester United Academy.Kidd said blankly.

After listening to Kidd's words, Jost had mixed feelings. He was happy that he could sign an apprenticeship contract and get money after signing the contract. What he was worried about was that he had to move out of the youth team dormitory and where he would live after he moved out.

Jost: "Mr. Kidd, it's fine to let me sign the contract, but you asked me to move out of the dormitory, where do you want me to live? You know my situation, Mr. Kidd."

Kidd: "I can't help Jost. This is the rule of Manchester United. It has always been like this. After you move out, people from the Manchester United youth team will move into your dormitory. You know that Manchester United attaches great importance to youth training, so we will let them come to Manchester United to train outstanding young players from all over the world. We Manchester United will provide everything, so the dormitory is very tight. This is also the rule.

Jost: "Okay Mr. Kidd, I can't move out tonight, let me find a way."

Send away Kidd.Jost was not in the mood to go back to the dormitory, and walked aimlessly at the Carrington base.I don't know how long it took, Jost was tired and sat on the side of the road.

Carrington Manchester United coach's office, Ferguson finished training the first team today, and then read the training report of the first team and youth team sent by the assistant coach. When he saw the youth team, he was very serious. Ferguson attached great importance to youth training.This is the foundation of the Manchester United team, they are the fresh blood of the Manchester United team.For example, if a person can't create hard work, then everyone can guess what greets him, and the same is true for the team.Manchester United has also attached great importance to youth training in history. The "Busby Baby" created by Sir Busby once ruled England. Later, the "Munich Air Disaster" caused Manchester United to fall into a downturn. Now there is a clock in the South Stand of Old Trafford. This clock does not keep time.The time of this clock always stays at 3:04 Munich time.In memory of those who died in the "Munich Air Disaster".

Ferguson paid special attention to Jost's report, because he believed that Jost had all the criteria of a good player.It's just that the mental quality is almost there.But experience increases with age.These are all surmountable.

However, Ferguson frowned when he saw Kidd's report from the director of youth training. In the report, Jost's speed, endurance, and strength were all rated as A+.But in the technical column, they are all D—.This makes Ferguson very strange.

Ferguson picked up the phone and called Kidd, the director of youth training.Kidd is at home reading the newspaper.Suddenly the phone rang.

"Kidd, this is Ferguson, what happened to Jost's training report today?"

"Boss, I also want to talk to you about this tomorrow. Jost performed very well in physical training today, but technically, he is like a different person. He suddenly seems to be unable to play football.

Ferguson: "Suddenly it seems that I can't play football. What does that mean?"

Kidd: "He's like a football fan now, not like a professionally trained athlete at all."

Ferguson: "Okay, you should pay more attention to Jost during training. It may be the cause of the injury. If there is anything, please inform me in time.

Ferguson continued to look at the report. After a while, the office phone rang, and it was Mrs. Ferguson's case, Casey: "Dear coach, when will you come back? I've prepared dinner and your favorite Scottish smoked salmon. Come back soon, my children and I are hungry."

Ferguson: "I'm sorry my dear. I was busy with work and forgot the time. I will go home right now. Wait for my dear."

Ferguson was driving his MG car to go home. When he was about to drive out of the Carrington training base, he saw Jost sitting on the side of the road, looking up at the sky.His brows were tight as if he was thinking about something.

Ferguson got out of the car, walked up to Jost and asked Jost, "It's so late, why don't you go back to the dormitory, what are you thinking about while sitting by the road, Jost?"

Jost remembered that this old man was the coach of the first team Ferguson.I had no place to live and had to find him.

Jost: "Mr. Ferguson, Mr. Kidd came to me just now. He said that I have reached the age of 16 and can sign an apprenticeship contract with Manchester United."

Ferguson: "This is a good thing, why don't you go back to the dormitory and sit on the side of the road?"

Jost: "The second thing is that I have to move out of the youth team dormitory because I am 16 years old. Coach, you know my situation. Where do you want me to live?"

Ferguson thought, "I valued Joost's talent, so I came to persuade Sister Joan of Arc to let Joost join Manchester United. Jost was injured yesterday, so I called Sister Joan of Arc. The attitude there was very cold, as if Jost was ignored. It was completely dumped on me like trouble. Hey, there is no other way, only I can help him."

Ferguson said: "Since Jost is like this, can you live in my house?"

Jost thought to himself that he was an orphan, and he didn't know anyone in the UK except Sister Joan who was related to him. Living in the coach's house was always better than sleeping on the street. "

"Good coach, I'd like to go to your house." Jost said.

Ferguson: "Then what are you waiting for, get in the car, I have to go home for dinner, my wife Kathy is waiting for me at home, she made me my favorite Scottish smoked salmon.

Fifteen minutes after driving out of the Carrington base, Jost came to Ferguson's home, a large two-story villa. Ferguson blew the whistle twice and entered the garage. This was an agreement between him and his wife Casey, which means "Honey, I'm back".The two have been married until now.Casey heard the horn and came out to meet Ferguson, who got out of the car with a young man.

Casey smiled and said, "Welcome home, dear."As he spoke, he stepped forward and hugged Ferguson.Asked Ferguson again, "Is this young man our guest tonight?"

Ferguson hugged Casey, pulled his wife Casey aside and said, "Honey, this boy is the boy I told you about, Paul Jost. I have told you about his life experience, and you are so kind-hearted. Now he is homeless. I want him to live in our house temporarily, do you think it is okay?"

Casey said: "Oh, he is the orphan, and the child you said yesterday was hit on the head by a ball and lost his memory." "That's right." "No problem, I will always support you and let him live in the guest room first." "Thank you for supporting me." Ferguson excitedly kissed Casey on the forehead.

Following Ferguson into the home, Ferguson introduced the members of his family, the eldest son Darren Ferguson, who is also a member of the Manchester United first team, Mark Ferguson and Jason Ferguson are twins.The two are not at home, and the two are studying at the University of Manchester.

Dinner started. After this day's training, Jost was very hungry, and started to eat like crazy at the table.The way Jost ate, stunned the Ferguson family.After a while, Jost ate up his own food, and Kathy filled another portion for him.After a while, it was eaten up by Jost again.

Darren Ferguson said: "This guy can really eat. He ate a portion for two by himself, and he doesn't seem to be full. Dad, it looks like you're going to find a part-time job tomorrow." Ferguson was also stunned by Jost's surprise.

Jost ate three portions in one go before he stopped.He raised his head and saw the Ferguson family staring at him with their mouths open in astonishment. Jost realized that he had eaten their food too, and apologized very unconsciously.

Ferguson smiled and said: "It's okay, young man, I was like you when I was young, it's a good thing to be able to eat."

Jost: "If you don't mind, I can cook Chinese food, can I make you two Chinese dishes?

The Ferguson family agreed, and Jost went to the kitchen to look at the ingredients in the refrigerator, and served two dishes to the Ferguson family, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and roasted eggplant.The Fergusons were full of praise for Jost's craftsmanship.Kathy also needs to learn how to cook Chinese food with Jost.He also asked Joost how he knew how to cook Chinese food, Jost had no choice but to tell Sister Joan that he learned from Sister Joan of Arc.A pleasant dinner is over.

In this way, Jost lived in Ferguson's house.
