153 can afford to lose

The box was full of men, and there were beer bottles thrown messily on the ground, and several people, some collapsed on the sofa, some crawled on the table, a typical group drunk scene.

"Mr. Mourinho, do you think we should boo you?" A fan got drunk, lay on the table, and muttered drunken questions.

Mourinho, who was also drunk, smiled and nodded, "It should be!" ”

It was probably the first time he had gotten drunk, but for some reason, he had a feeling of relaxation, which made him a little dissolute.

However, there are not many people in the bar, and Xiao Yu specially brought them into the box, so Mourinho's drunken image was not seen, otherwise, I am afraid that the front page of the newspaper will be published the next day, and the new Manchester United manager will use alcohol to drown the news.

"But we're not going to do that!" Another fan next to him loudly denied it.

"Yes, the Red Rebels have never had a tradition of booing the head coach!"

"Not since the time of the Red Devils!" I don't know who added it again.

These words immediately attracted the unanimous approval of several people.

Several drunk fans were taken out of the box by the people at Walsh's bar, Xiao Yu didn't drink much, so he was still very sober, he believed that although Mourinho drank a lot, he was not drunk and unconscious, he was a person with extremely high self-control, and he would never allow himself to get drunk.

"Did you bring me here just to show me these fans at the club?"

When there was no one, Mourinho looked up at Xiao Yu and said with a strong taste of alcohol.

Xiao Yu shook his head, "There is no need to see the fans at this time, I brought you here today, just to make you drunk, drunk, and then get up tomorrow morning, everything will start over, at the same time, I also hope that you can understand that the club, the fans, and I have nothing to blame you, we still support you!" ”

Mourinho didn't speak, just looked straight ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.

"When I left my father, he once said to me, in this world, only those who can afford to lose can achieve the final success, I have always kept this sentence in mind, I always tell myself when I encounter difficulties, Xiao Yu, you can afford to lose!"

"Jose, I brought you here today just to tell you one thing, you don't need to put so much pressure on yourself, you can afford to lose, with me, the club, and the fans behind you, you can afford to lose at all, not to mention, even so far, winning or losing is still unknown, in this case, why do you put so much pressure on yourself?"

Mourinho still didn't say anything.

It was quiet in the box, and neither of them knew what the other was thinking in their hearts, nor did they know what the other was going to do next, they just sat quietly, thinking, watching, and silent!

"Do you know why I chose you to be our team's head coach in the first place?" Xiao Yu suddenly broke the silence.

Mourinho still didn't speak.

Xiao Yu smiled, "Because of your arrogant surname that does not admit defeat, Jose, although the outside world has a bad evaluation of you now, and is very pessimistic about the prospects of the new Manchester United, what is our nickname?" Red rebels, we were born to subvert other people's impressions of us, we were born with a rebellious spirit, so we don't need to care what others think, we just need to prove ourselves, use facts to slap those doubters, let them know that we are arrogant, never-say-die Red rebels! ”

Mourinho looked at Xiao Yu in a daze for a while, then struggled to get up from the sofa and patted Xiao Yu on the shoulder, he never thought that he still needed a young man who was more than ten years younger than himself to explain.

But Xiao Yu is right, I am Mourinho who is arrogant and does not admit defeat, I will not fall, I can afford to lose, so there is no need to be afraid of failure, it's a big deal, after failure, I will start all over again!

"Would you like to go to the bathroom?" Xiao Yu stood beside Mourinho, pointed to the bathroom in the box, and asked with a smile.

The latter was stunned for a moment, looked at his current image, couldn't help but smile, nodded, and walked in.

A few minutes later, Mourinho, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked out of it, his eyes projected a look that was more resolute than ever, and when he looked at Xiao Yu, with a hint of gratitude, the two walked out of the box side by side.

Along the way, there were fans vying to talk to Mourinho, who reached out to greet the fans as always, always with a confident smile on his face, as if everything was in his hands.

As he walked out of the bar, Mourinho spotted Scarlett Elan of the Manchester City Evening News getting out of a taxi in a hurry and ran over as soon as he saw them.

"You arranged it?" Mourinho looked at Xiao Yu beside him.

The latter shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "She was invited by me, but she was late!" ”

Mourinho burst out laughing.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there's something temporary, I'm late!" Scarlett apologized vigorously to Xiao Yu.

"Alright, Miss Scarlett, ask the questions you have prepared, I can only give you five minutes at most, and I'll rush back to the training base!" Jose Mourinho snatched the talk.

Scarlett looked at the night sky, which was already dark, and she was going back so late?

But she wisely didn't ask this self-deprecating question, and after thinking about it, she finally asked: "Before the season, I asked you what the goal of the new United is this season, and what is your answer now?" ”

"It's still the same, you don't need to doubt, Miss Reporter, this year's champion has been decided, that is our new Manchester United, as for the other teams in the English League C, I can only apologize to them, I'm sorry, please fight for the runner-up!"

After speaking, Mourinho directly boarded the taxi that Scarlett had just taken, waved his hand at Xiao Yu, and said goodbye.

Scarlett looked at Xiao Yu with some puzzlement, she still didn't understand what kind of medicine Xiao Yu was selling in this gourd.

"Did you hear it, the tone of what he said just now was so arrogant!" Scarlett came to Xiao Yu's side and asked.

How could a manager who has been criticized by the outside world say such arrogant things?

"Then you should publish it in the Manchester City Evening News tomorrow!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Scarlett was a little unexpected, and when she saw Xiao Yu leaving, she grabbed him, "Hey, Xiao Yu, you make it clear, what the hell is going on?" ”

"Miss Scarlett, how can I explain to you, I was supposed to let you arrive at 5 p.m., but what time is it?"

Facing Xiao Yu's questioning, Scarlett felt embarrassed, her gripping hand relaxed a little, and Xiao Yu took the opportunity to break free.

"You just report what Jose said, and wait quietly for Saturday's league game!"

By the time Scarlett reacted, Xiao Yu had already boarded her BMW and roared away.

On the second day's training session, it was clear that Mourinho had changed the way his team trained.

Although they are all still training with the ball, the content is completely different, and they are all training programs discussed by Mourinho, Cassel, Faria and Palacio Sr., which are designed to strengthen the technical details of the players, and at the same time require the players to speed up the passing and receiving speed.

In order to prevent the players from getting bored during the training process, Faria and Palacio Sr. added more content, such as putting more equipment to enhance the training content, or dividing the players into groups for different passing and receiving exercises, especially in the indoor soccer group competition.

According to Palacio Sr., in Argentina and Brazil, many teams have added indoor football to their training programs, especially in the training of young people, and indoor football takes up a large share, so to speak, playing more indoors than outdoors.

This kind of indoor soccer is only half the size of a regular football, but it is twice as heavy, and the field is about the same size as a regular basketball court, with five players on each side, but if the number is small, three people can also play, but the court will be appropriately shortened.

When Xiao Yu heard the elder Palacio mention indoor football, he immediately remembered that this sport is very popular in Brazil, and almost all teenagers play indoor football first and then play professional football, for example, the later cycling teenager Robinho spent most of his time in indoor football training before the age of 12.

Some people even say that it was indoor football that drove the take-off of the Brazilian football kingdom!

Indoor football has a small playing space, higher and more delicate requirements for individual skills, and the number of touches per unit time of players on the field is six or seven times more than that of regular football games, and the game ball is smaller and heavier, which can greatly exercise the players' ability to control the ball and pass the ball quickly.

The reason why Mourinho decided to introduce indoor football into the training of the new Manchester United is because he feels that indoor football is faster in attack and defense, stronger confrontation, and at the same time, it is also more demanding on the players, especially the players' anticipation, reaction and ability to run without the ball.

And these will go a long way in solving the current situation of the new Manchester United.

In addition, the training intensity of indoor football is also very high, and the strength confrontation, endurance and physical flexibility of the players are very high, which can also play a certain effect on outdoor training.

It is precisely because of this that Mourinho has specially opened up a place in the training building for the players to train in indoor football in groups, and if the results are good, Mourinho also intends to introduce this training content into the academy, which will bring huge benefits to the new Manchester United academy.

Mourinho's decision was strongly endorsed by Xiao Yu, and he even asked Walsh to prepare on the same day, planning to build an indoor football stadium in the training base for training and competition for the first team and youth team.

In addition to indoor football, Xiao Yu also plans to build venues for other sports such as badminton and table tennis, which can not only regulate the players' interests outside of training, but also provide more options for training.

In the future planning of the training base, Xiao Yu also plans to set aside a site to build an indoor football training ground, which is fully taken into account the training in rainy days, including Manchester United's Carrington and Arsenal's future Kearney and other training bases have special indoor football training grounds.

And after several days of hard training, the new Manchester United rushed to Chesterfield!
