Chapter 231 Holland's Arcadia
"It's more lively than I thought." This is what Ferguson said after arriving at Warrendan.
Indeed, the old man thought this was a secluded fishing village with no one, and he could hear it clearly when he crowed and barked chickens.
The small fishing village is pretty good, but it is already a tourist destination. There are many tourists from all over the world here. Those who travel to Amsterdam will also choose to come to this small town, which is a 30-minute drive from the Dutch capital, because it is a famous wedding outdoor spot in Europe.
When Queros heard Ferguson say this, he thought he was dissatisfied with it, but he didn't expect to follow him and said: "This is not bad, a lively town... Those guys don't have to go to Amsterdam to relieve their boredom at night."
The team members in the car were also curious and were in a large number of strange towns outside the car.
When they walked around outside the town, they saw several floats, all of whom were preparing to take wedding photos.
"What a romantic town." Ribery whistled.
Manchester United certainly won't live in the town of Warrendan, their target is a professional team here - Warren Dam.
Although Warrendam is still struggling in the Dutch second division, their training facilities are complete and there is no problem with the training camp.
When the team was able to see the sparkling Lake Ethur in the distance in the car, they were approaching the gate of Warrendham Training Base.
The car drove straight through a row of lush forests, and the red steeple bungalows were hidden behind the woods, where they stayed.
"It's here." Captain Roy Keane stood up and greeted his teammates to get off the car.
When the car stopped, Ferguson and Queros got off the car first, and there were already officials from the Warrendam Club waiting under the car.
A simple welcome. After a round of greetings, the Warrendam Club took the team to their residence, and someone helped them carry their luggage. They just needed to bring their carry-on bags.
The weather in the Netherlands today was good, the sun was shining, and Ferguson was in a good mood. He smiled and said to the officials of Warrendam Club: "The conditions here... are very good."
He looked around the training ground and said something a little exaggerated, but it was not as good as "very good". After all, the other party is not a well-known club and his financial situation is not good.
The person in charge of talking to them about the rental of the training ground this time was David Jill. He seized the favorable factors of the opponent's poor financial situation and won the best interests of Manchester United - to do things with the least amount of money.
While Ferguson was having a chat with the opponent, Queros played the role of a "bad guy" at the door of the player's dormitory.
"Hurry up! Half an hour of rest and tidy up the time, then train, and end before supper!" His loud voice rang over the strange training ground.
Half an hour later, the team had already changed into training clothes in the locker room and reappeared on the training ground. The bus drove away, and Warren Dam's club staff were also leaving together, and now all the people who were still here are Manchester United.
Ferguson stood in the afternoon sun, chewing gum in his mouth, the whistle and roar of assistant coach Queros sounded, the coaching staff members performed their duties, and the players ran and smuggled on the field in the sun... Everything was no different from their training base in Carrington, Manchester.
The training life in the town is very peaceful. Although the town of Warrendan is a lively tourist destination, the excitement cannot affect the training ground located in the eastern suburbs of the town.
The training ground surrounded by lush woods and Lake Ethus is like a paradise... Of course, it is not right to say that, because there will not be so many journalists in the paradise...
As the seven-time champion in the past year, Manchester United's arrival has indeed attracted many media outlets. This is of course a reason, and another reason is that their head coach Ferguson.
"This is a person who can be the focus no matter wherever he goes." - The general consensus of Ferguson among the media.
Everyone knows that as long as you follow Ferguson, you will never have to worry about news.
But this time, they were disappointed.
Manchester United's training camp at Warrendan is usually like any other team. Apart from daily training, focusing on a certain player's condition and injuries, and two teaching warm-up matches with Warrendam, the "host" team, there is no better report... Of course, this kind of news is not what most media that followers hope to get.
Ferguson naturally knew this very well.
"Carlos!" he shouted loudly, and when the latter turned his eyes to him, he waved outside the training ground: "Tell those reporters that the shooting time is up!"
Queros nodded, raised his face and walked towards the barbed wire wall.
"So much media attention is just a pre-match training..." Rooney looked at the media that surrounded the training ground, most of whom he was familiar with, from England...
Ronaldo, next to him, nodded in agreement. In his memory, even in Carrington, he would not have seen so many media. Of course, what he didn't know was that in Carrington, Ferguson was the king, so many media he didn't like were directly blocked from the door and could not get close to the training ground. It was different here, and he couldn't control many things.
"We are now the strongest team on this planet. As a big star, it will naturally attract the attention of the media." Ronaldo shrugged with an expression of "I am a veteran". He is five years older than Rooney, has more knowledge than Rooney, and has won all the honors a professional player can win. He is indeed qualified as an "old man" in front of Rooney.
Luo stretched and continued, "Training, competition, returning to the dormitory to play the game console... It's so boring like this--heh..."
"But this is what the boss asked us to do." Pique retorted.
After looking at Pique, who was still childish, he laughed: "Gerard, you are still young, you don't understand some things... Do you want to go to the heaven of experience?"
Rooney patted Pique on the shoulder and said to Ronaldo, "Don't treat Gerald as a three-year-old child, do you want to go and **, right?"
The little Luo, who was discovered, scratched his head awkwardly: "Oh, it's a pity that I won't go and see it since I'm here."
He looked at the head coach Ferguson in the distance, then came over and laughed and said, "The boss wouldn't know anyway. He was studying videos with Carlos' assistant coach all night... It was so boring!"
"But this is..." Pique wanted to move Ferguson out, and Ronaldo directly covered his mouth.
"Just look, it's no big deal. We came to Amsterdam, and after the game we would go back to China... What did we do in the Netherlands? After you went back, your friends asked you: 'Hey, Wien, Gerald, are there anything fun to do when you go to Amsterdam?' Do you want to say: 'No, we stayed in a primeval forest for a few days'?"
"I plan to go out to buy a lot of clogs at night...ah!"
This time, Ronaldo, who was disappointed, knocked Pique on the head.
"That kind of cliché is something that people come to the Netherlands want to buy, and you can also give it a try? England all sells it... although it is a copy. Okay, if you want to go, go see something that is really unique. Is there any other place except Amsterdam, the Netherlands?"
Pique thought for a while: "It seems that there is really nothing... Leeds, too, but it won't come out so openly..."
"That's it, this is the characteristic! It's the culture of a country. Do you know the culture?" Ronaldo tempted his two teammates in a row. "The open culture of the Netherlands... is so enviable! We are not really going to do anything, we just go to visit and see. The Champions League is about to begin. Do I still dare to mess around?"
"Don't worry..." Seeing Pique frowning and hesitating, he continued, "I won't let the boss know. We promise to come back before eleven o'clock. It's so close to Amsterdam, and it's only thirty minutes to take the bus. We said we'll go to the town to play, no one will care... How about it, how about it? Go after dinner!"
Ronaldo originally wanted to do this kind of thing alone, but Robben's words reminded him that who knows what will happen in that kind of place at night? It's better to bring two more people to take care of it. But no matter how many people know, will anyone tell the boss? To be honest, both Rooney and Pique are curious and full of longing. If you don't have any *** in Amsterdam, it must be a lie. Now there is a person who takes the lead, inspires and is moved.
Anyway, if they really came back before eleven o'clock, the boss would definitely not know. These days, everyone went to the town to play these nights, and he wouldn't ask. Just like Luo said, they just went to see what was going on, and it should be no problem... right?
"Okay, I'll go!" Rooney made up his mind and looked at Pique.
Under Rooney and Ronaldo's gaze, Pique finally nodded.
Xiao Luo smiled and said, "Listen, this is a little secret between the three of us. No one can tell me. If they ask, they will say we are going to play in the town. Have you heard it clearly?"
"Yeah!" The two of them focused their attention. Even if Luo didn't remind them, they knew that of course they couldn't tell them. Just say it out.
Queros walked out again and blew the whistle in his mouth.
"The rest time is over, guys!"
Ronaldo blinked at Rooney and Pique, turned around and ran back to the training ground.
After the day's training, Ferguson called Queros to take a walk by Lake Esser, and discussed various plans for the new season. Before leaving, he had not forgotten to remind the players who were preparing to go out for dinner and not to play too late.
As soon as the coaches left, Ronaldo called Rooney and Pique out of the training base gate and ran towards their minds under the sunset. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!)
