“A Dragon Country player? And he joined without a trial?”
“Mr. Jim, I don’t mean to target you, I believe in your judgment.”
“Although it’s true that we at Blackburn are currently in desperate need of a midfielder.”
“But to borrow a player like this, and to use up a spot reserved for a talented player to do it.”
“To be honest, it makes us a little puzzled.”
Blackburn Rovers training ground.
Blackburn club manager Johnson looked at Jim and Woodward with a hint of helplessness, saying.
Originally, Manchester United had promised to loan a midfielder for free.
The news filled Johnson with joy.
Although Manchester United’s performance in the Premier League wasn’t ideal this season.
Even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
As a top team.
Their players wouldn’t be bad, naturally!
At least, they should have no problem playing in the Championship!
It was a good deal where the player could come in and immediately play.
However, when Johnson found out that the player Manchester United had loaned was Long Fei, a player from Dragon Country.
Johnson was unhappy.
He had no Premier League appearances.
He didn’t even have any appearances in any Europa League competitions.
Even in Dragon Country.
His most recent game.
Was just a provincial sports meeting in Dragon Country.
This was a bit too unreliable, wasn’t it?
Although Blackburn was getting him for free.
At least it was helping Manchester United players improve.
To use a player with such a pitiful resume to make up the numbers.
A little bit dishonest, wasn’t it?
Johnson had just finished his complaints.
At this time, Blackburn manager Mowbray.
Walked over from the direction of the medical center.
Mowbray was holding Long Fei’s medical report.
He didn’t say anything, just handed it to Johnson.
Needless to say.
Long Fei’s physical fitness test results were probably not good.
“Speed combined data, only 10th in the whole team.”
“Strength data, 9th in the whole team.”
“Endurance data, whole team…not even in the top 11.”
Mowbray couldn’t bring himself to continue after that.
“Don’t blame me for being blunt, the reason we wanted to borrow a midfielder from your team.”
“Is because we wanted someone who could be a starter, an absolute main force.”
“Look at these physical fitness data, every item is at the tail end of starters, some are even worse than substitutes.”
“This medical report, at best, is the level of a Championship substitute player.”
“Sorry, this is not the player we need.”
Blackburn manager Mowbray spoke bluntly.
Jim Lawler smiled confidently, “Mr. Mowbray, don’t say it so definitively.”
“If you could truly tell how good a talented player is from just their medical report.”
“What use are we scouts for then?”
“You can just directly use a computer to screen the player’s medical data, right?”
Mowbray snorted.
“Jim, I know you’re a senior scout, but even scouts can make mistakes.”
Jim said, “Whether I’ve made a mistake or not, let’s just let the facts speak for themselves.”
“As far as I know, Blackburn is currently plagued by a lack of firepower up front.”
“The biggest root of this problem.”
“Is that the players lack a midfielder with strong enough technical skills!”
“Based on how you’ve made a judgment about this player based on the medical report.”
“No wonder the players on the field are all rough and tumble players with a lack of technical ability!”
Jim’s words hit the nail on the head.
Immediately, Mowbray was speechless.
However, what Jim said was true.
The team’s current midfielders are a bunch of roughnecks.
They’re good at tackling and playing hard.
But when it comes to technical skills like passing.
It’s completely insufficient!
The midfield can’t pass the ball out.
The forwards can’t get any chances.
Then, of course, they lack firepower up front!
Technical midfielders are all hot commodities.
How easy is it to find one?
Plus, Blackburn also wanted to borrow him for free.
There’s no free lunch in the world.
To want to borrow a technically gifted midfielder for free is even more difficult to ask for!
Mowbray was speechless, and could only retort, “You say so much, then give me a technical midfielder!”
Jim smiled and said to Long Fei, “Long, let them open their eyes.”
Under the perplexed gazes of Mowbray and Johnson.
Long Fei said to Coach Mowbray, “Mr. Mowbray, choose one of the cone-shaped buckets over there.”
Long Fei pointed to a section of the field, and from a distance, he could see three cone-shaped buckets used for training.
“What do you mean?”
Mowbray couldn’t understand Long Fei’s intention.
He looked at manager Johnson.
The latter was even more clueless as to what Long Fei wanted to do.
“Forget it, just the one in the middle!”
Long Fei didn’t bother with any more nonsense, and said on his own.
Before Mowbray and the others could react.
“Bang!”
The soccer ball under Long Fei’s feet had already flown out.
“Thump!”
The cone-shaped bucket in the middle was precisely struck by the soccer ball, and fell to the ground with a thud!
The two cone-shaped buckets on either side remained standing still.
Mowbray: …
Johnson: ???
Woodward: ?!
The scene became very quiet for a moment.
Manager Johnson retracted his shocked jaw.
He couldn’t help but look at head coach Mowbray and exchanged glances.
Before Johnson could ask.
Mowbray had already given him the answer he wanted.
“At least 80 meters… ”
“At least 80 meters!!”
The two of them couldn’t help but look at Long Fei.
As if they were looking at a monster.
To hit something from 80 meters away, to hit exactly where he was aiming.
What kind of incredibly accurate long pass was that?!
Manchester United CEO Woodward’s inner shock.
Was no less than that of Mowbray and the others!
He hadn’t personally witnessed Long Fei’s strength.
He had signed Long Fei with the sincerity of offering him a contract without a trial.
On the one hand, he had a lot of faith in Jim’s judgment.
On the other hand, he also valued Long Fei’s Dragon Country nationality.
You have to know, the number of Dragon Country fans is a terrifyingly huge number!
And the Dragon Country market.
Is definitely something that European giants absolutely cannot ignore.
Signing Long Fei would definitely bring Manchester United attention in the Dragon Country market.
Making Manchester United the most exposed giant in Dragon Country.
In other words.
Woodward’s initial positioning of Long Fei.
Was that his commercial value was greater than his practical value.
But at this moment, he saw Long Fei’s long pass skills with his own eyes.
Woodward couldn’t believe it for a moment.
Dragon Country really has young players with such talent?!
Woodward looked at Long Fei at this moment, his heart filled with gratitude.
Thankfully, he signed Long Fei.
The long pass accuracy that Long Fei had just shown.
Even in the Premier League, there weren’t many people who could do it easily!
Maybe, he really could make a name for himself in the Championship!
If Long Fei makes a name for himself.
He will inevitably become the focus of attention in the Dragon Country market.
At that time, Manchester United, who signed Long Fei, would certainly receive the favor of the Dragon Country market!
This young man named Long Fei is a cash cow that Manchester United must cling to!
Compared to the shocked trio.
Jim, who had already witnessed Long Fei’s long pass miracle.
Was clearly much calmer.
“Coach Mowbray, Manager Johnson, what do you think?”
“Regarding this deal, should we still… ”
“Sign! Sign! Sign right now!”
Head coach Mowbray said while patting Johnson who was still in shock.
For fear that he was a moment too slow, Manchester United would change their mind and no longer loan Long Fei!
Manager Johnson also came to his senses.
He quickly picked up the phone and called his assistant:
“Hello! Quickly prepare the loan contract, be quick!”
“Right! Right now! Trial? What kind of trial? Sign now!”
“A talented player from Manchester United who didn’t need a trial, does his level even need you to trial him?! …”
Sure enough, in this world, strength speaks for itself.
After showcasing his incredible long pass skills.
The loan contract between Blackburn and Manchester United was successfully signed.
The loan was until the end of this season.
Head coach Mowbray, who had previously been critical of Long Fei’s medical report.
His eyes now looked at Long Fei.
They were filled with smiles.
He practically treated Long Fei like a treasure.
When signing the loan contract.
He repeatedly asked Manchester United CEO Woodward.
If he could loan him for another year.
But this request was naturally rejected by Woodward!
After learning about Long Fei’s talent.
He couldn’t wait for the half season to pass.
He couldn’t wait to get Long Fei back to Manchester United!
With such long pass talent.
Long Fei could definitely make a name for himself in the Championship.
Once Long Fei gets his work permit.
At that time, this big Buddha, Long Fei, must be brought back!
Blackburn’s staff were also very efficient.
Sure enough, it only took one day.
They successfully applied for a Championship talent player spot for Long Fei.
At this moment, Long Fei could officially play in Championship matches!
After bidding farewell to Jim and Woodward.
Long Fei’s short-lived professional career at Blackburn officially began!
