After finalizing the cooperation with Mourinho, Xiao Yu didn't have much thought about the European Cup, and it happened that Eva Snow also had something to return to the United States, so he simply returned to England.

A few days after returning to Manchester, Xiao Yu welcomed Jose Mourinho and his assistants Louis Faria and Andrea Boas, both Portuguese and equally young.

The 25-year-old has a baby face and always has an intimate smile, according to Mourinho, he is a physical coach who has a good training system for recovery with the ball and will bring great help to the team, which Mourinho met during his time at Barca, he studied at the University of Porto, but did an internship at Barca for a while.

Andre Boas is younger, he is only 23 years old this year, but he has a lot of experience, he got his European coaching license at the age of 17, he once coached in Porto, and later went to the British Virgin Islands team as a technical adviser, it is said that he was introduced to Mourinho by Lourenço, and is a sharp-eyed scout, especially good at intelligence gathering.

At a time when the new Manchester United are putting a lot of effort into building a scouting network, but there is a lack of a leader to lead the way, as soon as Boas arrived, Xiao Yu immediately entrusted this important burden to him, which surprised and thanked the latter, because he was so young, and he had almost no qualifications in this seniority football circle.

But Xiao Yu trusted him so much.

Mourinho, who was watching quietly, had to feel admired, Xiao Yu's move to buy people's hearts in his gestures was indeed quite skillful, and he immediately won over the loyalty of Boas.

In the chat, the original staff of the club also arrived, including the research experts in the laboratory, all gathered together, this is the meeting of the new head coach, naturally everyone is present.

"This is my best partner and the big man of the new Manchester United, Andy Walsh, you can tell him anything, he will be your best logistician; This is Mr. Jim Cassel from the Academy, he is from Manchester United and is currently the director of the Academy! ”

After speaking, Xiao Yu also introduced Derek and Professor Fryer in the laboratory, as well as Carl Maternson and Darren Lyons, who have all decided to retire and join the coaching staff, while Peter Schmeichel went on vacation and did not come to this meeting.

Previously, Mourinho had asked Xiao Yu to choose a person who was familiar with the club to be his assistant to help him manage and coordinate the relationship between the club, and Xiao Yu listed Schmeichel, Marginson and Lyons, and finally Mourinho chose the three to join the coaching staff together.

"Although this is the first time we have met, I hope that everyone can speak freely, talk openly and honestly about all the requirements of everyone in their work, and then work together to solve the problem!" After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he sat down.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were on Mourinho, who was new to the city and was not very familiar with him, but he was the manager of the team, so it was natural to listen to what he asked of the team.

Mourinho was not timid, he said directly to Kassel: "I would like to hear from Mr. Kassel about the academy first, I always believe that the future of a team lies in the academy. ”

Cassel smiled politely, "We have five youth teams at the moment, the U19, U17, U15, U13 and U11, but we have a very close relationship with the schools in the neighbourhood, and you know, the FA strictly restricts clubs to select materials in a certain area nearby, so ......"

Everyone immediately understood this rule, which is also a characteristic of the United Kingdom.

"The Under-13s and Under-11s are mainly responsible for basic technical training, with little fitness or special training for all positions, and we encourage attacking and let the young players attack unbridled on the pitch in order to stimulate their football talent and develop their interest in football."

There is a consensus in the field of football that attack is more pleasing than defense, and it is easier for offensive players to switch to defense, but it is difficult for defensive players to learn to attack, so generally at the beginning of the youth team, they are strongly advocated attacking.

"From the Under-15 onwards we started to add some technical skills, such as long and short passing, shooting, defensive skills, etc., to encourage wide range of combinations and running off the ball, and there is no specific physical training for this young segment either."

The U15 is like honing the player's skills, especially after the first two young players, and generally by this young stage, the player's technical talent has been almost stimulated, and the U15 is the watershed that determines whether they can become a professional player in the future.

"From the Under-17 onwards, we have added more small-scale combinations, we advocate high-intensity and high-tech confrontations, and we will also teach players how to combine their bodies and skills to play to their strengths and strengths more efficiently, while further strengthening the team's off-ball running system."

"As for the Under-19s, it's basically the same as the senior team, we will arrange positions for the players according to their characteristics, and specialize in different positions for different training and requirements, and because England has leagues in every age group, so every young player can get a certain opportunity to play and practice."

After Mourinho listened, he couldn't help nodding, in terms of the league system, England is doing the best, especially his rigorous league system, which is not seen in other European countries.

"I noticed, Mr. Cassel, you pay a lot of attention to running without the ball in training, I heard Mr. Xiao Yu say, you are from Manchester United?" Mourinho asked with a smile.

"Yes, sir!" Cassel replied politely.

"That's amazing, you know? When I was at Barcelona, I talked to Cruyff many times about Manchester United's off-ball running system, I was very interested in this system, and I also admired Mr. Eric Harrison who created this system, and I hope to have the opportunity to learn more about this aspect in the future! ”

"I feel honored, sir, Mr. Harrison is like my teacher, he is truly an amazing person!"

Mourinho smiled and nodded, then stood up, left his seat, swept around the crowd, and said: "In Belgium before, I had a very detailed conversation with Mr. Xiao Yu, I am from Barcelona, I know that Barcelona has always adhered to an attitude since the Cruyff era, that is, the style of the academy and the first team should be the same!" ”

"In the past few years at Barcelona, I deeply feel the importance of this inheritance, even if Barcelona does not seem to benefit from this in recent years, but I dare to guarantee that in a few years, Barcelona will get endless benefits from it, so I hope to be able to transplant this system to the new Manchester United!"

Everyone was obviously a little surprised by this, they all knew that Barcelona's youth training was doing well, and many players were promoted to the first team last year and this year, but they didn't know that there was such a relationship.

"But before we can unify the style, we first have to find the style that suits our team!" Casel Mourinho agrees with the idea that United have benefited from Ferguson, the team's tactical flexibility and change, but at the heart of it is a well-established system of running without the ball, which is a prerequisite for all United players to integrate into the United system.

"Barça's style is to control the ball, which is one of the control genres, and the other is to control the space, and I personally think that both styles have their strengths and weaknesses, so I prefer balance, to achieve balance in ball control and control space, to strike a balance in attack and defense!"

Speaking of this, Mourinho suddenly felt a desire sprout from his heart!

Once upon a time, he was sitting in the position of Kassel, listening to Robson, listening to Louis van Gaal say this to himself, and he had a dream that one day, he would also be able to stand in this position, explain his football philosophy to others, and let others do what they wanted.

Now, the dream has finally come true, even though it's just a League 3 team, but so what?

Mourinho suddenly understood what Xiao Yu had said to him before, yes, level is not a problem, if I really have that kind of strength and ambition, then I dare to say that all those who underestimate us will regret it!

Thinking of this, Mourinho suddenly rose with an unprecedented wave of self-confidence.

"I hope that from today onwards, you have to remember one thing, that is, although we are only a League C team, everything in the club must be planned and built according to the Premier League team, our goal is the Premier League, it is Europe, I will not allow my team to stay in the lower division, I want to lead everyone to the Premier League, let everyone in the world know about the new Manchester United, know me Jose Mourinho, know everyone you are there!"

Everyone present except Xiao Yu was obviously shocked by the strong desire and ambition exuded by Mourinho's words, and they all found it hard to believe that a rookie coach who had just arrived shouted the slogan of going to the Premier League, wasn't he afraid of laughing off people's big teeth?

But I thought Mourinho was just talking, who knows, a few days later, when he was interviewed by the Manchester City Evening News, in the face of the beautiful reporter Scarlett Elan, when Scarlett asked, the new Manchester United won the double in the previous two years and successfully qualified, so what is the goal of the new Manchester United this year?

Mourinho was very calm, very confident, and even said in a tone that seemed to be ironclad, "Don't doubt it, Miss Reporter, this year's champion has been decided, and that is our new Manchester United!" So, all I can say is sorry for the other teams in League C, but please go and fight for the runner-up! ”

At this moment, Scarlett suddenly felt that from Mourinho's body, he seemed to see Xiao Yu's shadow, and once upon a time he was so confident to tell himself that the team would be upgraded, what would happen, and the results were achieved!

And this time?

ps: In the past few days, I have been thinking about the defeat of Real Madrid, and I don't feel very comfortable, I just saw a friend in the book review area chatting, I said some ideas about my selection of the head coach, you can discuss and point out.

I'm thinking that a team's manager is related to the surname of a team, and we can look at the difference between Wenger's team and Ferguson's team. What is the difference between Mourinho's team and Carlo Ancelotti's?

Maybe you didn't find it when you played against the weak team, but when it came to some tough battles, the team's surname played a key role in the strength that a team can play and the ability to resist in adversity.

In my setting, the future Red Rebels is a team that can not only play a hearty technical control game, but also be able to play an iron-blooded and tenacious comeback, and at this time, the team's surname is very important, such as the Century Derby, I think Real Madrid is paying off the debt for the team losing its surname in the past few years, and in previous years, even if it loses, can it lose like this?

It is quite difficult for a team to lose its surname and want to reshape it, so we see that when Real Madrid plays against the weak team, it can always play very well, which makes people think that Real Madrid is back, but when it comes to Barcelona's decisive surname battle, it begins to want to win and fear losing, which is the most terrible mentality!

I remember when Raul and Guti left Real Madrid, I made a post on a fan forum and I felt that their departure would be remembered by Real Madrid at some point in the future, just as we miss Hierro and Redondo, who represent the family name and heritage of this team.

Frankly, in the derby of the century, I remembered Raul, with him, maybe he would have lost, but he wouldn't have lost like this!

I think that the manager's surname should be the same, and looking at the football world at that time, I think it is in line with the team's current surname, YY can come at once, and at the same time can avoid changing coaches in a few years, and can lead the team to glory, almost only Mourinho.

And he is from Barcelona, in terms of some tactical systems, YY is also relatively easy, you can take a look at the next few chapters, what are the mistakes, please point out, bear with me!
