During the World Cup, it is very difficult to book air tickets and hotels.
If I go to watch the World Cup in the summer, I will really bleed a lot.
Even if I begged to leave, I still couldn't buy a suitable ticket.
Previously, he paid a premium to buy a first-class cabin and finally boarded the plane back to England.
Unexpectedly, he saw Van Gaal sitting next to him.
Although it was the first time to meet Fu Xia Xing, Fu Xia Xing still greeted him politely.
"Hello, Coach Van Gaal, I didn't expect to see you there."
Van Gaal was closing his eyes and concentrating when he suddenly heard someone saying hello to him.
"Um?"
Looking to the side, he saw an unfamiliar oriental face.
I haven't seen it before, but it seems a bit familiar...
Xia Xing quickly introduced himself to him to avoid embarrassment.
"Coach Van Gaal, he is a player in the Manchester United youth team, his name is Xia Xing. He was loaned to Leicester City during the season. The loan period has expired and he has returned to Manchester United."
"oh!"
Van Gaal remembered.
"Am I the Chinese kid who beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final?"
"No."
"He remembers me."
Once you find the topic, the conversation becomes much easier.
"Xia, how was it at Leicester City during the season? He remembered that I had become Leicester City's main player and helped the team to upgrade. I was very good."
"Thank you for your compliment. He really has a lot of room for improvement."
"Is that true? After all, I am too young now. The Premier League stage is far from comparable to the English Championship. I need to accumulate a lot."
"He will definitely try his best."
"What are my thoughts on the Eastern Conference season?"
Xia Xing was stunned when he heard Van Gaal's words.
So, how did he answer?
What does he have in mind?
What can he say?
He wants to stay at Manchester United and play the main role this season.
Then it doesn't matter what he said.
Seeing that Xia Xing didn't shut up for a long time, Van Gaal also felt that there was something wrong with his question.
"Xia, let him talk to me about his thoughts."
"He's all ears."
At this time, the plane started to take off, temporarily interrupting the two people's wrong words.
From the ground to the sky, within a very short period of time, the aircraft resumed smooth operation.
Van Gaal looked at the scene outside the window and continued the topic just now.
"Xia, he just ended a less than ideal World Cup experience.
"Well, it's a pity that they didn't make it to the finals.
“They were well prepared for the game, but they couldn’t make it to the end.
"He didn't mean to talk to me about the Dutch national team when he said that.
"But you want to tell me that since he took over as Manchester United manager, he knows Manchester United very well.
"Except for a few top stars, he doesn't know many others.
"Including me, don't blame him for keeping his mouth shut.
"I have some impression that he is not wrong.
"Because of my outstanding performance in the FA Cup final.
"To be honest, he has just arrived at Manchester United and it is not very risky.
"He will choose players he is familiar with, a familiar formation, and a familiar style of play.
"He will also bring in some big-name players,
"The kind of big-name players who have proven themselves in the top leagues,
"As for many young people, they can just wait for their opportunities on the bench.
"The League Cup and FA Cup are good stages.
"Forget about the league.
"Were his words wrong for those young people in the Manchester United first team?
"They won't have much success in the Eastern Conference for most of the season.
"So, am I red?"
Van Gaal was very sweet and smiling, but his expression was very serious.
Xia Xing looked at him and was speechless for a long time.
Xia Xing had already heard it from what Fan Gaal just said.
Even the young people in the first team have no chance, let alone the youth team players.
Players like him who are often rented out in the youth team are even more useless.
Seeing that Xia Xing didn't shut up for a long time, Van Gaal continued to talk eastward.
“He’s not a comforting manager,
"He has his own characteristics, his own character,
"He says whatever he has to say, especially if it's wrong with the players.
"He won't force me to push me to the east, coax me and say he will give me a chance, but will he always let me look at the water dispenser?
"He thinks that kind of coach is rubbish.
"He likes to be direct. I hope I don't mind."
Xia Xing nodded.
"You're right, he also likes to say whatever he wants.
"Since I just expressed my thoughts,
"He also wants to talk to you about the future he wants."
Hearing those words, Fan Gaal raised his feet with interest and looked at Xia Xing, waiting for him to say something to the east.
"At Leicester City, he enjoyed football.
"He loves the feeling of playing football.
“One season has passed, and he not only helped the team successfully reach the Super League,
"He also helped the team win the FA Cup.
“And we have won many championships won by the top players in the Premier League.
"He thinks that championship is very valuable.
"So even if he hasn't played in the Premier League, he still has a lot of confidence in himself.
“He believes he will show his strength in the Premier League to convince everyone!
"Now that he has returned to Manchester United, it is actually equivalent to returning to a new environment.
"After all, his time at Manchester United was too short, not even one-tenth of the time he spent at Leicester City.
"He can accept being a substitute this Eastern season, he can accept being on the bench.
"But he hopes to get more opportunities to play.
"If he doesn't play, he won't be able to show his strength.
“There’s no way to prove yourself.
"He doesn't want to be on the bench for a season,
"He has played in the League Cup and won the FA Cup.
"He would rather play in the Premier League.
"So I just asked him what he thought about the Eastern Conference season,
"Can he tell you sincerely,
"He wants to get enough playing opportunities in the Premier League,
"Then deny his truest thoughts."
Looking at Xia Xing who spoke firmly in front of him, Van Gaal kept staring into his eyes.
At that moment, he really admired that young man.
If I were not the coach of an Eredivisie team, I would definitely try my best to train young people, give them opportunities and give them time.
But now he is the Manchester United manager.
Manchester United will not give the coach too much time.
They asked him if they needed to achieve results as soon as possible.
Money is not an issue, and many other things are not an issue.
Just find out the results, even if you sell all the players and then buy a team, there will be no problem.
Therefore, it is impossible to train young people.
Even if young people are given a chance to play, it will definitely be of great help in the competition.
Could it be that that young man had never even played a single Premier League game, so couldn't he bet on him?
Thinking of that, Van Gaal spoke again.
"Xia, he appreciates my straightforwardness, that's good.
"I'm sorry to say that he can't agree to my request.
"Manchester United will play more utilitarian football in the Eastern season.
“Don’t give young people too many opportunities,
"Not to mention denying me,
"He gave me three options that I could consider:
"First, if I stay at Manchester United, he will give me the opportunity to enter the first team, but if I want to enter the squad, the possibility is extremely small;
“Second, if I go out on loan, he can loan me out to a Premier League team to satisfy my desire to play in the Premier League, and it’s no problem to return to Leicester City;
"Third, transfer directly and go to the place I want to go. He will try his best to facilitate the transfer fee for me and help me get a better salary.
"Of those three options, which one do I want to choose?"
