In the hotel's coffee house, Lorenço finally met the British-Chinese, who is said to be rarely interviewed by the media.

Wearing a dry and fashionable sportswear, tall height, sunny smile, especially the vigorous and resolute spirit of young people exuded by his gestures, as well as his smart eyes, all left a particularly deep impression on people.

"Hello, Mr. Lorenzo!" Xiao Yu took the initiative to stretch out his hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Xiao Yu, thank you for taking the time to accept our interview!"

Xiao Yu beckoned Lorenzo to sit down, then shook his head with a smile, "Oh, no, Mr. Lorenzo, I'm on vacation, I have a lot of time, as long as it's not during the game, I'm very free, but I'm not used to being interviewed by the media, maybe because of this, everyone will mistakenly think I'm busy!" ”

Lorenzo laughed when he heard this, Xiao Yu's first impression was that it was easy to contact.

"I heard that Mr. Xiao Yu travels back and forth between Belgium and the Netherlands, and you plan to watch every game as much as possible, right?" Lorenço picked up a notepad and a pen.

"Yes, because I'm worried, I think football is showing signs of becoming more and more utilitarian, I'm afraid that such a wonderful football feast as this European Championship will be difficult to come back in the future, and even Italy has started to play attacking football in this European Cup, don't you think it's good enough?"

Lorenço was stunned, and immediately laughed again after understanding, indeed, in Italy's first 2:1 victory over Turkey, they did not play conservatively at all, and it can even be said that they changed the previous posture of camping and defending, and fought against Turkey.

"So, as the owner of the club, Mr. Xiao Yu would also like to see offensive football?"

"No, no, no, on the contrary, as a part of the new Manchester United, what I want to see most is to win, offensive football and utilitarian football I think are acceptable, the world of football is changing and flowing, but one thing remains the same, that is, the pursuit of results, it is precisely because even I have such utilitarian ideas, so I will worry that the future European Cup will not be good!"

This time, Lorenzo recalled Xiao Yu's words just now, and laughed again.

He felt that he had to spend a little bit of brains talking to Xiao Yu, because he was always very interesting to ambush the jokes in the dark, you had to grab them, dig them, and then laugh at them.

He must be a very nice guy to get along with!

"England lost last night, as an England supporter, what do you think of that game?"

"It's a shame that the team that played well won the game, but that's what football is!"

"What about David Beckham? You've heard of him making lewd gestures to England fans after a game, do you think it's appropriate? Lorenzo then asked.

"As a good friend of his, I know David very well, he has been through a lot lately, the team he loves has just lost, he is a very professional and self-motivated person, players to his level, you don't need to push them anymore, their motivation and self-esteem do not allow them to fail, so as long as they play, they will think about winning!"

"But it's precisely because of this that when England loses, he feels sad, but I believe that what makes him even more sad is that the England fans actually scolded him, and scolded his wife and children, I think it's very unforgivable, those who don't deserve to be England fans at all, they are a bunch of rubbish who can't afford to lose!"

When Lorenço heard the last sentence, he hesitated for a moment, and was thinking about whether to completely copy Xiao Yu's words, but Xiao Yu immediately stretched out his hand and pointed to his notepad, "It's okay, Mr. Lorenzo, you must report what I just said completely, I just want to wake up the ignorant people who lost the game but only look for scapegoats!" ”

Seeing Xiao Yu's serious expression, Lorenzo knew that Xiao Yu was not joking, Xiao Yu was obviously supporting Beckham in this way, which made him feel that Xiao Yu should be a very trustworthy friend.

"So, do you think Beckham's actions are understandable?"

Xiao Yu nodded, "Yes, but I have to say that he must have been angry at that time, so he seemed irrational, that was not his usual life." ”

"Then what do you and Beckham usually communicate with, we all know, you are very good friends!"

'Coming out and drinking once in a while, but he's a very professional guy, he doesn't drink very much, he drinks very little, he's always concerned about training and games, I think he should be a model for a professional player! People should be more concerned about his performance on the pitch than about his hairstyle, his appearance, and his mannerisms. ”

"What about you? I'm sure many people find it strange that with your current ability, you can buy a Premier League team, but you ......"

"I have to make it clear," Xiao Yu interrupted Lourenço, "I only went to the United States to develop my career after I founded New Manchester United, so my identity is always a fan, and then everything else." ”

"So how do you manage a club? In a corporate way? ”

Xiao Yu thought for a while, "The management model of the company is very different from the management model of the club, but fundamentally speaking, there is a great similarity, that is, people-oriented, the management of any company is for balance, and I believe that football clubs are too." ”

"Can you give an example?"

Xiao Yu thought about it carefully, "For example, if we want to buy a player, we will first consult the head coach to confirm which position our team needs to supplement, and then the scouts will start looking for people, collect some information and videos, and then the head coach and scouts, plus me and a few other people will negotiate together, and after determining the candidates, I or my good partner Walsh will personally go over to negotiate." ”

"You didn't give the manager all the power you do to other clubs in England?"

"I think you misunderstood, in fact, there are not many clubs that give the manager all the transfer powers, such as Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson has not been able to get all the transfer powers, his transfer application has to be approved by Edwards in the end, only the latter nods, the transfer can be approved, of course, in most cases, Edwards will agree!"

In fact, Xiao Yu has seen Ferguson's criticism of Edwards in the newspapers many times, some of which are about the latter's rejection of his transfer application.

Giving the head coach the greatest transfer power and the non-head coach taking charge of the transfer power, these two systems can also be said to have advantages and disadvantages, it is difficult to say that it is better to do that than that, so Xiao Yu feels that the most ideal transfer rights distribution model for a club is balance.

"It seems that although Mr. Xiao Yu has only founded New Manchester United for two years, you seem to have a lot of experience in this regard!" Lorenço felt a little emotional, he felt that the person in front of him did not look like a 25-year-old young man at all, especially his views on football were even more thorough than his own.

"Maybe you don't know, Mr. Xiao Yu, I'm still a good friend of Jose Mourinho, and I've heard that your club has been interested in him lately."

"Really?" Xiao Yu was a little surprised, he really didn't know about it, "We are really interested in him, because I see from him a lot of the qualities that a successful manager must have, diligence, attention to detail, and the arrogance that he seems to be born with, but I think he puts too much pressure on himself." ”

"Do you think he can be the new Manchester United Ferguson?" Lorenzo asked with concern.

This question immediately let Xiao Yu know that Mourinho obviously told this Lorenzo about the conversation between the two, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that he wanted to know what Mourinho thought.

In fact, he used the radical method before.

"It's possible, but I can't guarantee it, you know, there is only a thin line between pride and pride, a proud person is only on the surface, in fact, he is very humble inside, he will continue to absorb the strengths of others, to make up for his shortcomings, continue to improve, and constantly improve himself, but proud people will not."

After a pause, Xiao Yu shook his head and said: "Even now, I can't tell whether Mr. Mourinho is arrogant or proud, I hope it is the former, because I am indeed very sincere!" ”

When he said this, Xiao Yu obviously said it in his private capacity, otherwise, with the current position of the new Manchester United club, he would definitely not be worthy of saying such a thing.

But to Lorenzo's ears, this was not uncomfortable, but he felt that Xiao Yu's words were very reasonable.

But he knows very well that Mourinho is arrogant!

Of course, it was impossible for him to tell Xiao Yu these words, so he could only wait until he went back and then tell Mourinho slowly.

"So if Jose comes to the new Manchester United, what kind of power can you give him?" Lorenço couldn't resist asking the question.

Because he is worried that a fanatical fan like Xiao Yu, who is also a successful person himself, will dictate the manager's plan, which will invisibly affect Mourinho's coaching environment.

"Anyone who knows the new Manchester United knows that I never give Steve Bruce any problems, I never even get involved in his plans, everything in the team, the training, the academy system, the penalties or the rewards for the players, I leave it to him, Mr Mourinho will only get more, not less!"

Getting this sentence, Lorenzo immediately understood Xiao Yu's determination and sincerity.

is the so-called use of people without suspicion, suspicion without suspicion, this is a Chinese proverb, and it is very suitable for Xiao Yu.

It is precisely because of this sentence that Llorenzo supports Mourinho even more to go to the new Manchester United, because he can see that Xiao Yu is a very ambitious, but very wise club owner.

It is precisely because of this that three days after this interview, Lorenço specially acted as a peacemaker, asked Xiao Yu and Mourinho out, and the three of them had a meal together, and then slipped away under his own pretext, leaving Xiao Yu and Mourinho behind.

Mourinho, who has long known everything from Lourenço's side, is no longer reluctant to coach the new Manchester United, but he has never been able to let go of his body and has never talked to Xiao Yu about this from beginning to end.

On the contrary, it was Xiao Yu who gave Mourinho a big stick before, but this time he took the initiative to back down, stretched out his hand and gave him a sweet date, and once again invited him to coach the new Manchester United, and Mourinho also took the opportunity to step down and nodded in agreement.

Since then, the head coach candidate who has plagued Xiao Yu for a long time has finally come to an end!
