One center-forward, two midfielders, and two center-backs!

This was...

A rebuild!

Manchester United was going to rebuild!

And they were going to rebuild directly around the backbone of Ajax and the future Netherlands National Team!

This was completely different from the usual way of rebuilding.

That was why no one had considered it at first!

Real Madrid had uncovered an earth-shattering secret!

There were normally two ways to rebuild. One was a healthy rebuild through partial renewal, just like the Italy National Team Lu Yang played for.

Then they would replace another three to five.

Small changes, made repeatedly.

The advantage was... harmony!

Both the team and its players could gradually adapt to the process.

And during the transition, the team's fighting strength would not noticeably decline.

It could keep the team's strength at a relatively high level, but it would be difficult to reach a true peak. By the time the young players had adapted, the older ones would have to leave. By the time even younger players had adapted, those who had once been young would have grown old.
