When he came to Brussels, Xiao Yu's favorite place to go was undoubtedly the Waterloo battlefield, Napoleon was a person he liked very much, and Caesar, but I don't know why, I like them, but Xiao Yu didn't become a strong person like them, but sometimes he felt that he still cared about the feelings of others.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with that, he's tough, but he's more sensitive to other people's feelings, so it's easier for people to accept what he says and behaves.

The opening match of Euro 2000 was held at the Brussels Stadium, and the slogan of this year's European Championship was "Football Without Borders", and the whole opening ceremony was carried out around this theme, especially when the huge white balloon was lifted into the sky, and the atmosphere was instantly ignited.

Belgium vs Sweden in the opening game, the result was the same as Xiao Yu's previous life, Belgium defeated Sweden under Ljungberg 2-1, and the Arsenal winger was frozen in this game, did not play his level, and did not pose too much threat to Belgium.

The only regret was that after the game, Belgian fans clashed with the police in the central square of Brussels, and it is said that the scene was chaotic, and the police even used tear gas and injured many people.

"I think we're glad we didn't meet in the downtown plaza just now, Jose!" In a quiet coffee house, Xiao Yu said with a smile to the resolute man sitting opposite him.

Jose Mourinho, a Portuguese, has been working as an assistant to Van Gaal at Barcelona, but with the change of president of Barcelona, Nunez who supported Van Gaal stepped down, and Gaspar took power, Van Gaal chose to resign, and most of his coaching staff also left with him, including Mourinho.

However, Van Gaal is not short of outlets, several clubs have already expressed interest in him, and there is also news that the domestic concern about the prospects of the Dutch team under Rijkaard's coaching in the European Championship does not rule out the possibility that Van Gaal may take over the managerial seal temporarily, you know, Rijkaard's results in the Dutch national team are not very good.

This reminded Xiao Yu that the black swan later led Barcelona almost to be the pinnacle of his career, and after leaving Barcelona, he has not been able to come up with satisfactory results, and the same is true for Guardiola, many people think that Guardiola is not a famous coach, and he can only count after he leaves Barcelona.

Speaking of Barcelona, Xiao Yu admires their system very much, the academy and the first team are integrated.

As Van Gaal's assistant, Mourinho has no way out for the time being, and in Xiao Yu's previous life, he should have been in charge of Benfica in late September, stepped down three months later, and stayed at home until the summer of 2001, before returning to the mountains, and then began his magical journey to conquer European football.

Xiao Yu chose Mourinho not because he created very amazing results in later generations, but because he knew that there are fewer and fewer managers like Alex Ferguson nowadays, and Mourinho is one of the most admired by Xiao Yu.

In this regard, even Bruce is inferior to him.

"I think it's the pressure of the Euros that drives the police and the fans crazy, otherwise there are so many football hooligans!" Mourinho said with some seriousness.

A few days ago, the Netherlands sent a group of English fans back because they suspected that they were football hooligans, and this is a major problem that has always plagued the United Kingdom, and may even lead to the United Kingdom's failure to bid for the World Cup.

"Perhaps it should be said that only by experiencing British football in person can we understand that football hooliganism has become a cultural phenomenon in British football, and I always believe that the vast majority of fans really like football!"

"I've been to England and the fans are fanatical, but football is not very good, especially tactics and technique!" Jose Mourinho is clearly prejudiced against English football.

"No, no, Jose, that was before, but since the last few years, you can think back to the fact that with the establishment of the Premier League, more and more foreign players have poured into the Premier League, more and more foreign managers have entered England, which will soon become the focus of European football, and you should know that the Premier League has one of the big advantages that other leagues do not have, and that is their overall business development, how much does it cost to broadcast TV alone?"

Mourinho has no way to refute Xiao Yu's words, he started from the perspective of a football professional, while Xiao Yu entered from the perspective of the club owner, the two have different perspectives, and the aspects they see are naturally different.

"Are you interested in coaching in England?" Xiao Yu asked suddenly.

Mourinho was not surprised, from the moment he received Xiao Yu's call, he knew the other party's intention, and he also asked a friend to check this club, established for two years, and won the double for two consecutive years, the owner Xiao Yu is a rich man, it is said that he has a lot of career in the United States, and he is also an avid fan.

What impressed Mourinho the most was Xiao Yu's departure from Manchester United to establish a new club, which caused a sensation in Britain at the time, and Xiao Yu's TV interview last season that satirized Manchester United chairman Edwards, which became the fuse for Edwards' resignation, and also made many Manchester United diehards very unhappy to see Xiao Yu and his new Manchester United diehard.

"Frankly, no!" Mourinho replied very simply.

Although he has some admiration for Xiao Yu's actions, it does not mean that he will accept his appointment, and for the arrogant Mourinho, he has never worried that he will have no way out.

Even now, no one has invited him!

was directly rejected by Mourinho, Xiao Yu not only did not feel annoyed, but laughed.

"You are really a very proud person, Jose, although I have to admit that you do have proud capital in the face of us now, but you will definitely regret it, I dare to guarantee that in less than five years, you will definitely regret your decision today!"

Xiao Yu said more arrogantly than Mourinho, aren't you very dragged? I'm dragging more than you!

"In that case, then obviously we can't get along, Mr. Xiao Yu!" Mourinho still said coldly.

"That's right, Mr. Mourinho," Xiao Yu's tone also hardened, "I originally thought that you were a visionary, but today's meeting made me completely overturn this impression, with your current short-sighted vision, I don't think you are suitable for our club, I will consider other candidates, excuse me!" ”

After speaking, Xiao Yu stood up and left his seat.

Who knows, when passing by Mourinho's side, the latter suddenly asked: "What do you mean by this, Mr. Xiao Yu?" ”

Xiao Yu turned his head, sneered, and asked mockingly, "Isn't it?" Didn't you reject us just because we were promoted from League C? Don't you think that with your quality, you can coach at any big club in Europe? Don't you think that I, Xiao Yu, am ridiculous, and I have the arrogance to come to you to be our head coach? ”

A series of several questions, Mourinho was speechless for a while.

In fact, he didn't do what Xiao Yu said, but he did feel that coaching the new Manchester United was really useless for himself, so he refused without hesitation.

But even so, he still couldn't refute Xiao Yu's words.

"I tell you, Mr. Mourinho, from the moment I decided to give birth to a new Manchester United, he was already destined to be ordinary, not because of you, not because of Steve Bruce, not because of Manchester United, but because of me, Xiao Yu!"

This is simply naked arrogance, even more arrogant than Mourinho.

"We're really in League C now, but this year we're going to be promoted, next year we're going to be upgraded, in five years we're in the Premier League, in ten years we're going to be a European watch, and even European champions, and then, Mr. Mourinho, do you still have the capital to be arrogant?"

The reason why Xiao Yu dared to say this is, of course, because he knew that Mourinho had no idea what he could achieve in the next ten years, in fact, Xiao Yu was the only one in the world who knew that Mourinho would definitely be so arrogant ten years later.

"You can coach a strong team, coach a big club, but I tell you, Mr. Mourinho, you will never be a passerby in the history of that big team, one of the stars of the galaxy, but our new Manchester United is creating a history that belongs to us, belongs to our galaxy, and set a milestone that will be admired by the younger generations of chasers!"

"Do you know Ferguson? Why is he great? It's because he single-handedly created the dynasty of Manchester United, and now, our new Manchester United is looking for a Ferguson who can lead the team and create a dynasty of the Red Rebels, but what about you? Do you see this long-term beyond seeing us as a League C team? ”

"Frankly speaking, Mr. Mourinho, you may be able to lead a team to achieve remarkable results, you may be able to achieve admirable achievements, but your short-sightedness is destined to make you unable to become Ferguson, it is difficult to call it great!"

Of course, Xiao Yu does not mean that only someone like Alex Ferguson can be called a great manager, but he used this sentence to stimulate Mourinho in this special situation.

Even after Xiao Yu left, Mourinho was still sitting in place, looking ahead in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Maybe he was really stimulated by Xiao Yu's words, because Ferguson is indeed a manager he admires very much, strong, wise, and at the same time very flexible, plus he has just achieved admirable achievements, which makes Mourinho always can't help but compare himself with him.

Even later in charge of Chelsea, Mourinho obviously adopted two different scoring criteria for Alex Ferguson and Wenger, which may be said to be a lot of similarities in the tempers of the two.

Do you want to be a star in the Milky Way? Or create a brilliant galaxy?

ps: I'm going to drink wine tonight, and I guess I won't be able to update it back!
