Although he was silently mourning in his heart, Lu Wei was very confident in this group of young people, and the source of his confidence was not these names that would be worth tens of millions or even 100 million in the future, but the tireless training they had been training at the Newton Heath Base in the past two years.

Cook also has a very high opinion of these young people, always comparing them to the "Class of 92" 26 years ago, players like Sobosroy and McNeill are actually capable of entering the first team, but Lu Wei is not eager to promote them in order to protect them, and next season this group of players will be loaned out under Lu Wei's arrangement to exercise game experience, and when the time is right, they will be promoted to become real red rebels.

Not long after the start of the game, the youngsters returned the trust of the leader, and in the 16th minute, McNeill's long pass from the left was deflected, Elliott was not disturbed, he easily unloaded the ball, stopped the ball and then accelerated past Panzo, cut inside the box, blocked a kick in Gueye and turned into the far corner of the goal.

FC United Under-18 made a good start.

But Chelsea's Under-18s quickly adjusted and remained under their control for the rest of the first half, with Musiala equalising in the 27th minute with an assist in the Broja penalty area. In the 38th minute, James assisted Gueye's header from a free kick to put the score back.

Consecutive goals have left FC United's children in a mess, the attack has become disorganized, originally Chelsea U18 has a back line that is not lost to the Championship, FC United are even more unable to pose any threat to Chelsea in a hurry.

After the referee blew the whistle at halftime, Lu Wei stood up from his seat, walked unhurriedly down the stands and turned into the staff passage, where the identity of the club president made him unimpeded, all the way to the door of the home team's dressing room, waited for a while, calculated the time, McKenna should have almost finished arranging the tactics, so he pushed the door directly.

McKenna heard the voice behind him and thought it was some staff member who didn't understand the rules, and he turned his head and was about to curse two words, but the identity of the person immediately swallowed back the words that had been spit out on the tip of his tongue.

He knew that Lu Wei was on the scene, and he also wanted to discuss tactical arrangements with the chairman and first-team head coach before the game, but Lu Wei stopped him before he could finish a sentence.

"You are the head coach of the youth team, the training and games of the youth team are all decided by you, the games of the youth team are your business, the games of the first team are my business, even if I am the chairman, everything in the youth team is decided by you and Terry, the only intersection between us in work is that you can't refuse when I ask the youth team."

Everyone has a clear division of labor and cooperation in the club, even if it is him, the chairman and head coach, can not interfere with the work of others, this is Lu Wei's management method all along, the training of the youth team he is only responsible for recruiting some young talents and Terry. Cook and others together decide the direction of the youth team.

Lu Wei has never been a dictator, he has been mixed in the financial circle for many years in his previous life, he knows that the dictator will gain a lot of power and benefits at the beginning, but this management method cannot be sustained for a long time, especially when the group is getting bigger and bigger, the dictator will be targeted a lot, Lu Wei once brought down a dictator of a financial company in his previous life, so as to enter the board of directors.

Lu Wei walked into the locker room and signaled McKenna to continue arranging tactics, leaving him alone, and stood in the corner and listened quietly.

McKenna finally said a few words, cheered the young players, and turned his head to look in the direction of Lu Wei, he knew that no matter how much he said at this time, it was probably not as effective as the words of the man in the corner, since Lu Wei walked into the locker room, all the youth team players' eyes were locked on Lu Wei's body, the tactical arrangements of the second half had been said, and the rest was the head.

Lu Wei and McKenna glanced at each other, lowered their hands around their chests, and looked at these familiar but very green faces, and did not need to make any moves, and the dressing room was quiet enough to hear a needle fall to the ground.

'You've had a really good season, I'm proud of your performances, everyone thinks you're going to be the best Academy players since FC United's inception, even though you've only been here for the last two years, whether you're still here or not, whether you're leaving here to join another team, you just have to remember that Newton Heath and the Red Court are all your home.

"You're all young, like Jude and Xavi are only 15 years old to be in the Under-18s, you are really good, all the fans see you as the 'Class of '92' players from Manchester United 26 years ago, even higher than the future of that group, you all know what those people have done in these 20 years, that's a very high rating, but do you know what I think?"

The heads of the people in the dressing room shook quite neatly.

"What the second batch of '92 class', that's all in the past, I don't deny the glory they brought to Manchester United, but that's Manchester United, that's the Red Devils' players, and we are the Red Rebels, we are here to grab their cake to eat, we are marauders, you are not the 'second generation of '92 class', you belong to FC United' Class 18', you are the future glory and pride of the Red Rebels, today bring us your first glory, one thing to tell you, this match is the first final hosted by the Red Stadium to determine the winner, and the winner of this final will be you! With

shouts and chest beatings, the young Red Rebels returned to the battlefield, and they did not disappoint Lu Wei and the fans, equalizing just three minutes into the second half.

McNeill went straight to the ribs on the left, Sobos Roy knocked in front of the goal, Connolly's push in front of the goal was blocked by the goalkeeper, and Bellingham inserted in the middle slammed the ball into the net.

The ensuing game was deadlocked, with neither attacking being able to knock out the opposing defences, but the situation was clearly tilted in favour of FC United, and Chelsea had to start a defensive counter-attack, intending to rely on Hudson-Odoi's speed and Musiala's skills for opportunities.

In the 86th minute, the young Reds overturned the small blue car when Allens' combination of short passes from the right flank and substitute Delap successfully cleared the Chelsea encirclement and passed the ball to Sobosroy, who had been waiting for a long time in front of the box, and the Hungarian teenager bounced off the crossbar with a powerful kick.

When the referee raised his arms to signal the end of the game, Lu Wei couldn't help his excitement, jumped into the stadium and celebrated with the young players, joined by the FC United first team players, who also came to the scene to cheer for the juniors.

Under-18 captain Sobos Roy lifted the trophy, which was also the first weighty trophy since the establishment of FC United's youth team, and also won the FA Cup one step ahead of the first team.

The young juniors are so good that they have also given the big brothers in the first team a shot in the shot, and Red Bull Salzburg have been rubbing their hands to teach each other a hard lesson in the second leg.
