Chapter 36
"Bang!"
The football flew out like a cannonball, but the next moment it hit Chen Huan's calf, and was blocked and flew out of bounds.
Just now, when Rooney was pedaling quickly, Chen Huan, with the help of the Hawkeye system, judged that Rooney was going to cut in from his right side and shoot.
He threw his body out at the same time as Rooney started, and Rooney's shot was directly deflected out
"Oh my God!"
Rooney rubbed his already thin hair with both hands, his face full of disbelief.
"This is the third time I've tried to get rid of you today. Damn it, why do you always block my shot when I think I've got it done?"
"Because I have special defensive skills." Chen Huan said with a smile as he climbed up.
At the edge of the training ground, Van Gaal and Davis looked at each other, both with smiles in their eyes.
Chen Huan's understanding of the defensive space and his prediction of the offensive players' movements have greatly exceeded his expectations.
"Add Chen to our game against West Bromwich Albion, replacing Blind"
……
After a day of hard training, Chen Huan met a gentleman in a suit in front of the dormitory.
"Sir, what can I do for you?"Chen Huan asked
"Good evening, Chen. I am the specialist sent by the club management to discuss the new contract with you. My name is Colin White."
Chen Huan opened the dormitory door and invited Colin White in.
After the two sat down, Colin White opened his briefcase and took out a document, saying,"Chen, since you transferred to Manchester United, the club's management has been paying close attention to your progress. Now your progress has exceeded everyone's imagination, so we want to sign a new contract with you with a weekly salary of 50,000 pounds and an annual salary of 2.6 million pounds."
After Colin White finished speaking, he handed the contract to Chen Huan.
When Colin White handed over the contract, his eyes swept over Chen Huan from time to time. He noticed that it was no longer training time, but Chen Huan's training suit was soaked with sweat.
He was practicing more.
In fact, at the beginning, the club official could not understand why his superiors were in a hurry to sign a new contract with a player from Longguo, and it was a big contract with a weekly salary of 50,000 pounds and an annual salary of 2.6 million.
You know, Manchester United is only in the first team, and there are several players who got stable playing opportunities last season, but their salaries have not reached the level of 50,000 pounds per week.
And he, Colin White, a middle-level employee of Manchester United Club, only has an annual salary of 250,000 pounds.
Chen Huan only needs a little more than a month to earn the same as his annual income!
"Mr. Colin," Chen Huan did not accept the contract. He said seriously:"I have no plan to adjust a new contract now, because I have not hired a professional enough agent and... I think in the next game, I will make a greater contribution to the team and not fight for a bigger contract myself."
"Huh?"
Colin White thought he had misheard.
When he reacted, he realized that the young man from Longguo in front of him had rejected Manchester United's 50,000-pound-a-week contract.
"Sorry, Chen... do you mean... not to sign this contract?"
Colin White thought Chen Huan's English was not good and he didn't hear clearly, so he said slowly:"Reject a contract with a weekly salary of 50,000 pounds?"
"Yes, sir, I refuse."
Chen Huan said firmly.
2.6 million pounds is equivalent to 26 million Dragon currency, which is enough for anyone to not have to work for the rest of his life.
But Chen Huan still refused.
"Sorry, is it because you don't have an agent? I know a lot of professional football agents, maybe I can introduce one to you."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I still decided to find a suitable agent myself."Chen Huan decisively refused.
Who knows if the agent introduced by the club will be the same as the club.
Besides, Chen Huan believes that as long as he continues to perform at a high level, the top agents in Europe will definitely contact him.
"Well, Chen, maybe you will understand what you missed in the future. Now I can only wish you the best. I hope you can give a more brilliant performance in the next game."Colin White put the contract back into his briefcase, shook hands with Chen Huan and said goodbye.
He felt sorry for this young man who looked mature.
Manchester United had many geniuses, and they all had short and brilliant performances.
But they didn't play well, and they didn't get a four-year contract of 2.6 million pounds.

October 20, Carrington Training Base
"Chen Huan, the boss wants to see you.
An assistant coach ran to the gym and shouted.
Chen Huan put down the barbell, put on his jersey and walked towards Van Gaal's office. When he pushed open the office door, Van Gaal was looking through the documents in his hand.
"Boss, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, Chen, are you ready?" Van Gaal took off his glasses and continued,"I'm talking about the preparations for the starting lineup for Manchester United."
"Of course, I've always been prepared."Chen Huan was very calm
"I thought you would be very excited. Young players like you will be very excited when they know that they will start for the team."Van Gaal was a little surprised at Chen Huan's calmness.
"I left my family and came to Manchester to prove myself in the top league. Every day I am ready to start for Manchester United."
Looking at Chen Huan's back as he turned away, Van Gaal sighed,"I feel more and more that Chen will be an important piece of the puzzle to make up for Manchester United's midfield shortcomings. His performance off the court is as calm as his performance on the court, which is beyond his age.���"
"Yes, if I knew I was going to start for Manchester United when I was 18, I would jump up!" Davis also sighed.
Van Gaal glanced at the excited chief assistant coach beside him speechlessly, and after a long silence, he complained:"So you can't become Chen"
……
On October 21, Longguo TV
"Welcome to watch this Premier League game at 3 am. Now on the screen is the Manchester United squad."
"We can see that Manchester United has a 4141 formation. The back line is Luke Shaw, Rojo, Phil Jones, Rafael"
"In the defensive midfielder position, our Dragon Country player Chen Huan, wearing the No. 30 jersey, will start in this game. This is also the first time Chen Huan has started for Manchester United this season."
"In the midfield, from left to right are Di Maria, Mata, Herrera, Januzaj"
"Dutch superstar Van Persie will play at the center position against West Bromwich Albion. Coach Zhang, what do you think of Manchester United sending out this 4141 formation?"
"Haha, I can only say that this is a very positive attempt by Van Gaal for Manchester United's lineup, but at the same time, this 4141 has huge gaps in the ribs, because you can see that these midfielders are actually players with better offensive capabilities than defensive capabilities, which is a big test for Chen Huan's single defensive midfielder's defensive coverage."
"Okay, now let's introduce Manchester United's opponent this round, West Bromwich Albion"
"West Bromwich Albion is also a team with a long history. It has won one English Premier League title, five FA Cup titles and one League Cup title. At the beginning of this season, they performed very quickly, especially in the sixth round of the league, where they defeated Burnley 4-0."
"The team's top scorer Berahino is also a product of West Bromwich Albion's own youth training team. According to rumors, the Premier League's Tottenham Hotspur, Serie A's Fiorentina, and La Liga's Real Sociedad are all interested in signing this hot-footed striker. In this game, Manchester United should be careful!"
……
Old Trafford.
Chen Huan took a blond boy's hand and walked onto the field. Before entering the field, he suddenly jumped into the air.
"Ding——"
The system that had been immersed for a long time suddenly sounded at this moment
"The system detected that the host was the first to start for Manchester United. The system reward is being drawn. Congratulations to the host for winning the silver shoes (left foot)."
Chen Huan held the caddy's hand and excitedly opened the system to check the specific effect of the system reward.
"Silver shoes can improve the host's shooting ability, dribbling ability, fancy moves, explosiveness, and shooting ability by 10%."
After reading the introduction, Chen Huan couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.
His main foot has always been his right foot. Although his left foot is not a"natural disability foot", his left foot is indeed not as good as his right foot in passing, stopping, and dribbling.
So this also caused him to form the habit of using his right foot as much as possible when handling the ball on the court.
At the same time, the defensive players of the opposing team also have���
Chen Huan pretended to squat down to tie his shoelaces while summoning the silver sneakers (left foot). After the sneakers came into contact with his left foot, they immediately turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
Chen Huan jogged to his position and observed his left foot. There was no special symbol.
"beep——"
The referee blew the whistle to start the game.
Van Persie kicked off in the midfield and passed the ball to Di Maria.
West Bromwich Albion's forward player immediately rushed over, but Di Maria did not try to force his way past him. He turned around and passed the ball back to Luke Shaw.
After holding the ball, the latter looked up and noticed that Chen Huan was approaching him, so he raised his foot and passed the ball to him.
