Although the tone was loud and caused a lot of repercussions among the fans, in private, Mourinho's work seemed meticulous.

On the first day of his official arrival at the new Manchester United, Walsh, who had already received Xiao Yu's instructions, had provided him with all the video footage of the previous two seasons of the new Manchester United, although they were incomplete, but at least from these game videos, Mourinho was able to better understand the new Manchester United team.

After getting the footage, Mourinho began to go into his office with Boas, and began to study the footage with great enthusiasm all night and night, knowing very well that if he wanted the players to implement their tactical intentions as soon as possible, he had to know them first.

Faria occasionally joins the ranks, but he is more likely to hang out with the likes of Professor Fryer, and he is interested in the new Manchester United, a laboratory that is probably unique in all of Europe.

Originally, when Mourinho invited him to the new Manchester United, he was very hesitant, feeling that the League C was also a big deal for him, and he was a little reluctant, but Mourinho told him to help for a year first, and if he still didn't like it then, then leave.

But not long after he arrived, he deeply felt that this was a club with great ambition from top to bottom.

Look at this modern training base with advanced facilities, although it is not perfect, it is not at all what a League C team can have, and I am afraid that many Premier League teams may not be able to have such a training base.

Isn't it true that Manchester City next door are renovating their new training base in Carrington this year? But according to Scarlett, although the training base cost a lot of money, it is not as reasonable and advanced as the new Manchester United training base.

Faria is interested in the research of the likes of Professor Fryer and Derek, who is a strength and conditioning coach and has a knack for recovery, so he knows exactly how much help the team will be if their research is successful.

However, after he knew that Xiao Yu had invested a lot of financial and material resources in this research in recent years, he had to sigh, I am afraid that only people like Xiao Yu would spend such money, but he must say that the money is definitely worth it!

Player body tests and databases are already taking shape, and experimental research is already making progress, and from next season, Derek will have a diet menu for each of them based on their physical fitness.

Don't think it's boring restrictions on what you can eat, no, Derek's menu is arranged according to each player's food preferences, so each player's menu is different, but it's also easier for the players to accept and help them regulate their bodies.

As for the injury prevention system, it is still in the testing stage and can be put into use, but how effective it is, we have to wait for a slow exploration, in addition to the injury and physical recovery system, the laboratory has proposed to Xiao Yu to hire 4 more masseurs, plus the original club's 2, a total of 6.

This is due to the formation of the club's youth team and the increase in the number of players.

After Xiao Yu agreed, recommended by the original two masseurs, he invited another 4 experienced TCM masseurs from other cities in the UK, all of whom were British Chinese, and Xiao Yu arranged for them to live near the Newton Heath training base, rented a house for them, and also arranged for their families, so that they could serve the club wholeheartedly.

According to Faria's proposal, the massage room in the training building is ready to be put into use, and an indoor swimming pool and recreation room are also being prepared, where some entertainment facilities such as video games, table tennis, and billiards will be arranged for the players to adjust during their breaks.

In addition, Faria also put forward some opinions on the club's fitness room, asking the club to purchase some new training equipment, which is obviously also configured according to his physical training and recovery plan, and the price is not high, so Xiao Yu did not hesitate to approve it.

…………

For five days, Mourinho and Boas watched all the footage of the game, and then they immediately summoned Cassel, Paul Hampson and the coaching staff for a meeting.

As club owners, Xiao Yu and Walsh were also invited to the meeting on an exceptional basis.

'First of all, I think the tactics of the new Manchester United have been very successful in the first two years, Bruce is a very good manager, especially last year, he did a pretty good job defensively, but unfortunately I have to make some changes to that!'

After saying that, Mourinho marked out the main lineup of the new Manchester United last season on the tactical blackboard, mainly making changes on 442 and 451, and then he commented on it.

"When playing 442, our attack is obviously more stable, but the midfield is a little weak, especially in the first half of the season, Juninho Jr. failed to integrate into the team, but his position in 442 is very important, which leads to the team being very passive when playing 442, and then Bruce changed his tactics for him and played 451, which is very smart!"

Mourinho walked back and said with a smile: "Ferguson seems to like to play 442 very much, but as Jim said, he puts a lot of emphasis on mobility, so the players on the pitch often become 451, which is a more balanced tactic, emphasizing the midfield, emphasizing the control of the ball, which is a balance of controlling the ball and controlling the space." ”

"I'm sure you're all familiar with Manchester United's golden midfield, and I've done some research on it, so who do you think is the biggest player in the four midfielders?"

After saying that, Mourinho looked at Marginson, who thought for a moment, "Roy Keane, he is the heart of Manchester United's midfield!" ”

Mourinho nodded, but turned to Lyons, "I think it's Scholes, he tandem up front!" ”

"What else?" Mourinho looked at the others.

"I think it's David Beckham!" Cassel laughed suddenly.

The others looked at him with some puzzlement.

'Beckham has a lot of movement, he's very good at reading games, and he's just as good at his technique, and a lot of people think he's not good at breaking through, he's certainly not very technical, but I know very well that his skills are not inferior to Ryan Giggs, but they are two very different types of players.

"But that doesn't mean he's the biggest player in United's midfield quartet?" Mourinho asked with a deliberate smile.

"He's got a precise 30-metre deep pass and the ability to transfer!" Kassel said succinctly.

After hearing this, Mourinho praised: "Well said, Jim, this is where Manchester United's golden midfield is really sharp, because according to research, today's professional players, in the case of pressing, the lowest pass error rate is about 10 meters to 15 meters apart, and the success rate reaches 8 percent, that is, 80% of the passing errors do not exceed 1 meter, or even no error." ”

"And as the distance lengthens, to 20 meters, the success rate is less than 60%, and at 25 meters, it is only a pitiful 20%, so that is to say, the team's running without the ball must be strictly controlled at about 10 meters, and all players must run on the field, try to shorten the distance between our teams when attacking, and try to lengthen or even separate the distance of the opponent when defending."

Cassel couldn't help but admire after hearing this, he also knew this, but he was not as precise as Mourinho, especially when the connection between distance and passing was counted to such a point, which should have been brought out of Barcelona.

"As we said, the success rate over 25 metres is pitifully low, but Beckham has the ability to pass the ball accurately over 30 metres, and everyone should know what a terrible concept, right?" Jose Mourinho clearly admires Beckham, at least now.

After listening to Xiao Yu on the sidelines, he couldn't help but think of Xavi and Alonso, who were known as passing masters in their previous lives, and their passing distance was definitely not as long as Beckham's, but they were the metronomes of each team, which shows that the current Beckham is really underestimated.

'I've always thought that Beckham's best position is in the middle and only in the middle can he get the most out of his ability to move long balls, and I don't understand why Ferguson would let him stay on the right. Jose Mourinho also voiced his confusion.

"That's to adjust the midfield quartet!" Cassel replied with a smile that he knew United far more than anyone present.

"You may find that there is no core player in the Manchester United midfield quartet, and it can even be said that any one person is the core, and it is this non-nuclear state that they can play their abilities and specialties more easily!" Kassel further explains.

"Why do you say that?" Xiao Yu is also interested in tactics, especially since he knows that Manchester United's midfield quartet is known as a textbook quartet, so he is very interested in it.

Boyas and Xiao Yu's position is separated from Mourinho, and now it is empty, he looked at Xiao Yu, smiled, and explained: "The so-called core is actually the player who controls the pace of the game, such as when to slow down the pace and when to speed up the rhythm, this is the role of the core, also known as the metronome." ”

"But if you look at the four guys at Manchester United, Keane is the traditional core, he's responsible for dividing the ball and combing the midfield, while also taking care of the defence, Beckham also has the same metronome role, which is his sudden big foot transfer pass, and the way Ryan Giggs changes the tempo of the game is his high-speed forward and dribbling ability, and there is also the inside cut, Scholes's central role is to guide the team's attacking direction, and his sudden attacking ability to cut in the back row is very good."

"If all four have the ability to control the pace of the game and at the same time have the means to change the pace of the game, who is the core? This is the strength of Manchester United, the four of them are playing completely by tacit understanding, whoever sees the opponent's loopholes, who will change the rhythm of the game and give the opponent a fatal blow! ”

Xiao Yu was a little dumbfounded when he heard it, he had to admit that when he was watching the game before, he only thought that Manchester United's midfield was very strong, but he didn't know that when he really analyzed it, he found that Manchester United was so strong.

No core, is it just a trick to win in martial arts novels?

ps: Regarding Beckham's paragraph, I specially watched a lot of old news and interviews, and found that the call for Beckham to return to the middle was really loud at that time, and even Beckham himself wanted to return to the middle.

Of course, I also know that there will be a lot of people who will think that I overestimate Beckham, but I think you might as well go back and look through the old news, I will look through some old magazines when I have time now, in addition to trying to bring some real events into the novel to increase the sense of reality, I also miss the time when I watched football and magazines.

People are like this, they will never know how to cherish until they are lost!
