So the question is, what is this Jack Harrison?
Double youth training between Liverpool and Manchester United
1996165438+1October 20th, Jack Harrison was born in Stoke, moved to Bolton with his parents when he was a child, and then joined Kirkby College in Liverpool at the age of 6, where he was a kindergarten classmate with Ryan Kent, a biped who now plays for Glasgow Rangers. However, at the age of seven, he jumped ship and went to Manchester United youth training. For the first time in his life, he "transferred" to his sworn enemy.
Harrison spent seven years in Manchester United's youth team and was a teammate with McTominay for a long time. Similar to McTominay's early youth training career, Harrison didn't get enough playing opportunities because of his short stature. Then, his mother suggested to him: Otherwise, you should study abroad.
"When I was only 14 years old, it was a difficult decision for me, but I trusted my mother and attached great importance to her advice. Today, I always think this is the right decision. "
In 20 10, Harrison decided to go to the United States, first studying in Berkshire Middle School, and then entering Wake Forest University. If you are familiar with the NBA, you must know the name of Wake Forest University, because this school has trained a large number of basketball giants such as tim duncan, chris paul and Josh Howard.
In the United States, the competition of football is far less fierce than basketball, and Harrison, who was born in an ordinary class, quickly stood out in the university league. In 20 15, he was awarded the title of the best player in the college league season. Then, he ushered in the first bright moment in his life-at the 20 16 MLS draft, he was selected as the No.1 pick by the Chicago Flame and then traded to new york City.
So Harrison started his career in new york, a city with the same ancestry as Manchester City. At that time, his teammates included the famous Pirlo, Villa and Lampard ... In his first season in new york City, Harrison scored four league goals before he was 20 years old, which quickly attracted the attention of his English hometown.
From american league to England.
At that time, Harrison was considering joining the U.S. U.2 1 youth team, but then the English U.2 1 national team southgate decided to keep the young talent.
After getting a call from the South Gate, Jack Harrison said excitedly, "I am too excited to say anything. This is really an exciting opportunity, and I am very grateful. After I/kloc-came here at the age of 0/4, I never thought I could be called up to the England team. This is a special moment, and I will do my best for my country. "
In this way, Harrison finally returned to the motherland, and together with Dean Henderson, Arnold, Tomori, Chilwell, Touanzebei, Tom Davies, niles, Madison, Gray, lukman and Solanke, he formed the U2 1 national team.
It is precisely because of the national team's playing opportunities that Harrison began to attract more and more attention from English local teams. After playing 6 1 time for new york City, scoring 14 times and assisting 10 times, Harrison's hometown team took a fancy to him.
At the end of 20 17, the official offer from Stoke City was Harrison.
New york: $7 million. If it is short, don't sell it.
Stoke City: Are you crazy about money? This figure can break the transfer fee record of overseas-born players in the American professional league.
New york: Impossible. According to the regulations of the AFL, we can only receive 50% of the money, and the other 50% will go into the AFL account, so we actually received only $3.5 million.
Stoke City: Then I'll give you some. How about 4 million pounds?
New york: I might as well sell it to my brother at this price!
So, on October 30th, 2065438+0865438+/kloc-0, Harrison officially joined Manchester City. ...
Leeds sharp knife, mixed blood.
Although Harrison returned to the Premier League, he didn't have a place in Manchester City, where the winger was sold for pounds. So in the 20 17- 18 season, Manchester City loaned him to the British Championship team Middlesbrough. But Middlesbrough's high-hitting tactics can't provide Harrison with enough exercise opportunities. In half a season, he only made four appearances for Middlesbrough, averaging 10 times ... 12 minutes.
Seeing that the No.1 pick in American professional league will be abandoned in the British Championship, Manchester City decided to give him another training ground-Leeds United to follow crazy Belsa.
Then Harrison broke out. Under Belsa, Harrison's enthusiasm and technology soon came in handy, and his one-stop operation made a big difference in Belsa's anti-rob and counter-attack system. As a result, he was placed in a prominent position on the tactical board as a right-wing explosion point, scoring 14 goals and sending out 6 assists in two seasons.
In August this year, Leeds United successfully won Harrison's contract by buyout clause, which was regarded by Belsa as one of the important signings of the team. A month later, Leeds United made its debut in the Premier League, and Harrison put on a good show to beat Liverpool.
In retrospect, the match between Liverpool and Leeds United was full of friendly and harmonious gift-giving atmosphere. After all, you cannot write two stories at the same time. Manchester United are our sworn enemies ... but Harrison will never take these plastic friendships seriously.
Because this group was born in Stoke City, grew up in Bolton, was young in Liverpool, trained in Manchester United, became famous in new york City, was taught by the captain of Arsenal, belonged to Manchester City, traveled to Middlesbrough, and is currently on loan at Leeds United. ...
He is a half-breed of an English club.
