Chapter 11 - Signing for Manchester United
Two days later, Valdy and Shepherd left Langley and left Sheffield together to Manchester.
The distance between the two cities is not far away, which is why Valdi had previously set Manchester United as the target. Langley drove the car, and the distance of 60 kilometers took only more than an hour.
It was still early, Langley didn’t mean to take Valdi to Manchester, and went directly to the Carrington training base in the suburbs. In Langley’s heart, Valdi was the genius he found and he had to complete the signing as soon as possible. Otherwise, there may be some variables-such as being robbed halfway by other clubs!
“The Carrington Training Base was completed in 2000 and covers an area of 108 acres. It has 14 football fields of different sizes for players to train. In addition, the base also has indoor training halls, fitness halls, physical therapy centers and other venue facilities, from U9 Junior Players from the first team to the first team are all training at this base.” When driving to Carrington, Langley introduced David to this holy place in the hearts of Manchester United fans in the same way as Ben Xuanke.
Vardi felt that this product should have the potential to be a tour guide, otherwise it would be that there were too many ignorant teenagers who flickered before, otherwise the introduction would not be so skilled.
But he really has no intention to talk about Langley, because Valdy’s heart has been filled with excitement, he tried to tell himself to be calm along the way, but when he arrived here, he couldn’t restrain his excitement.
“Look, the Bentley Continental in the back is by Phil Neville. He always likes to be different from his brother!”
Because this trail can only accommodate one car, a car soon followed, Langley introduced Valdi.
The first team of the club has started to gather for the new season, so it is normal for the first team stars to come to the training base at this time.
Valdy looked back when he heard the words. Sure enough, a Bentley followed, and the dazzling car logo envied him.
Perhaps David’s envy and unsteadiness were seen in David’s movements, Langley smiled and said: “Trust me, as long as you work hard, you will definitely become a big star in the future, let alone luxury cars and luxury houses, Do you want anything?”
Waldi would not admit that he was envious, turned his head and shrugged indifferently: “I just think his Bentley is too dirty, I haven’t washed the car in a few months!”
Langley was choked, and he already knew that Valdy was never a worrying child.
Only the disobedient children are good. This seems to be the same everywhere. I haven’t heard of any good baby who has become a big star, so Langley doesn’t care about such a Valdy.
came to the office building, Langley Trail took Valdi to the office of the head of Manchester United Youth Training Academy, Col Shaw.
“My big scout, is this little guy the genius you said on your phone? Hello, I am Luis Corshaw, the head of Manchester United youth training!”
Another sloppy uncle!
Vardi could not help but defamation, is Manchester United youth training camp controlled by such guys?
However, it was relieved to think about it. In his previous life, he had heard that the salary of Manchester United youth training staff is very low, and the annual salary of youth coaches is only 2w. It may be the average income of the United Kingdom, but compared to the big stars The annual salary of several million pounds, no doubt these youth coaches are poor.
Then, this sloppy look makes sense!
“Hello, Mr. Kirshaw, you can call me Jamie!” Vardy nodded and smiled.
From entering the office, Kirshaw looked at Valdy. He was not tall or strong. Of course, he could not be completely described as thin. His expression was very indifferent. Although he looked very interested in the surroundings, he could This is just a novelty of a young man in an unfamiliar environment.
Although body is not necessarily the most important factor for a player’s success, in England, there is no doubt that body is very important. He really can’t see the potential of Valdy against those muscle freaks, but he believes the vision of Langley, an old man.
“Jamie, we will arrange to accept you for the medical examination later. If there is no problem with the medical examination, then we will formally sign a contract, hoping to become the pride of Carrington!” Kirshaw patted Valdy’s shoulder. The face is tempting.
“Isn’t there any need for trial training?” Vardy asked doubtfully.
Scouts bring young players to the club. Shouldn’t the normal process be a trial training, and then the coach will assess the ability and potential, and then decide whether to sign the contract?
Why don’t you even need the training now?
Langley and Kirshaw sloppyly shouted and laughed, and Valdi smiled inexplicably.
“Mr. Langley is our scout supervisor. If even the small players he likes need trial training, then he will definitely smash my office!” After smiling, Kirshaw explained.
Vardi looked at Langley with a re-recognition. Unexpectedly, the middle-aged uncle still had a place in Carrington!
But now this is no longer his concern, as long as the physical examination passes, he can sign a contract with Manchester United and his task will be completed.
Physical examination process is very professional, UU reading www.uukanshu.com professional to Vardi completely do not understand, only know that the final data is aggregated, the result proves that he has no hidden dangers of injury and physical fitness.
Without the muscles of a small hill does not mean that the physical quality is not good, the doctor is also very clear, anyway, this level has not been able to intercept Valdy.
“Young man, the doctor said your body is great, but it is still a bit thin compared to it. Of course, it doesn’t matter. In the future training, the coach will have targeted training. Now, you are welcome to join Manchester United!” Kirshaw Very happy to Valdy.
Valdy is also very happy. He knows that the system can’t run. As for any targeted training, he doesn’t care. If there is a system, that should be trivial.
Next, Kirsha took out the already prepared contract and handed it to Valdi.
This is an adult professional contract. After all, Valdi is already 16 years old. According to the regulations of the FA, young players over 16 years old can sign a professional contract with the club. In order to prevent talented players from being poached by other clubs, usually The team will choose to sign professional contracts with talented young players.
Of course, signing a contract doesn’t mean too much, it’s just a way for clubs to bind you, so other clubs want to take you away, they will pay a high price.
Valdy has no brokers, not to mention lawyers. Fortunately, this first professional contract is relatively simple and does not need to be so troublesome.
looked at the salary column, which clearly stated that the annual salary was 104,000 pounds. According to 52 weeks per year, the weekly salary is exactly 2,000 pounds.
This figure is very mainstream, usually the salary of the first professional contract is between 1500-2500 pounds, unless there are extremely good players to get a higher weekly salary.
