146 Calves are not made in a day!

"John Terry, move your position forward, don't stretch too far away, move faster!"

"Patrice Evra, your position, your position, when Florent Malouda goes up, you should follow him, within 25 meters of him, you know?"

"Keep up, keep up, yes, when the team is attacking, the second and third echelons have to keep up, it's like a wave, you know? Waves, do you know what waves are? That's layer upon layer, wave after wave, gushing endlessly! ”

"Alexander Hleb, don't go too up, when Malouda goes up, you should recover a little, and you, Bosingwa, and Hleb when they recover, you have to come back properly, otherwise the opponent will counterattack, and there will be two central defenders left behind us!"

On the pitch, the first-team players were divided into two groups to fight, Mourinho kept shouting on the sidelines, sometimes calling this team player, sometimes calling that team player, and his loud voice could be heard from afar.

Wave movement is a topic that Mourinho and Cassel are currently working on, which is derived from Barcelona's step movement, but is more flexible than the step system, which also makes this movement system complex and difficult.

Mourinho's current strategy is to form a framework with simple off-ball movements, and then gradually refine and refine them.

How many years did it take Cruyff to get Barcelona to accept his theory? How many years did it take Eric Harrison to help United build that system of running without the ball? The new Manchester United system will take no less time than theirs!

"He's our new Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, a very good Portuguese!" Xiao Yu saw Kaka watching the first-team training a little strangely, and explained beside him.

"Is your training so passionate?" Kaka asked.

Xiao Yu smiled and said nothing, "But you see, the scramble and physical confrontation on the field are very intense. ”

As he spoke, he saw that Juninho Jr. was forced out of position by Paulson on the other side after taking the ball, and the whole person pounced on his back and fell to the ground.

"The future of football will be more and more technical and physical, especially in Europe, do you know Denilson?"

"Of course, he's the most skilled of any active Brazilian player!" Kaka adores Denilson, who is a star from Sao Paulo FC.

"But he couldn't adapt to the rhythm of Europe and the high-intensity confrontation, so he didn't succeed at Real Betis!"

After speaking, Xiao Yu took Kaka and walked in the direction of the laboratory.

"You are a very talented player, a talented player, and your characteristics are different from many Brazilians, but your future must be limitless, the Brazilian league simply cannot satisfy a talent like you, so from now on, learn to adapt to the rhythm of the European game, and have a strong body that can adapt to Europe!"

Kaka followed behind Xiao Yu, and he was excited to hear it, he had heard a lot of things about Xiao Yu from Messi, and he felt very admired and grateful to him, so when he heard his evaluation of himself from Xiao Yu's mouth, he felt flattered.

"Well done, Ricciardo, before your father left Manchester, I promised him that I would take good care of you, so I am sure that you will be taken care of in the best possible way in the coming period!"

After the training camp, the new Manchester United began a long season.

The first game of the season is scheduled for 5 August, with the new Manchester United away to Shrewsbury, followed by a Carabao Cup game, and the draw will not be held until 7 July, so the new Manchester United do not know who their opponents will be in the first round, but it is certain that the opponents are definitely strong.

After the Carabao Cup, there were two away games against Scunthorpe and Hartlepool, both of which were not easy teams to play against, especially for a team like the new Manchester United who had never had professional league experience, and having three away games in a row at the start of the season was definitely a test for the club.

In order to cope with the upcoming games, the new Manchester United specially arranged seven warm-up games, except for one opponent who faced Everton in the Premier League at home, the rest were all away from home to a team higher than their own, but the first warm-up game was to go to the butcher's knife stadium in Droisden.

The vast majority of the opponents were also played in the vicinity of Manchester, as the long journey cost the club money and caused problems for the team's preparation.

As a new team, Mourinho has always insisted on training with the ball, and asked Faria to work with the laboratory to develop a set of physical strengthening training with the ball, which is to speed up the team's run-in and allow the players to establish a tacit understanding faster while ensuring physical fitness.

From the next few days of training, Xiao Yu vaguely guessed Mourinho's main lineup.

His preferred lineup is Barcelona's usual 433 tactic, with the striker swinging between Crouch and Kitson, the former is taller and has excellent skills at his feet, but the disadvantage is that he cannot be used as a bridgehead in the penalty area, while the latter is physically strong and belongs to the kind of strong center forward, and is the most dominant player in the box after Kic leaves.

Malouda on the left and Hleb on the right, Ribery and Wright Phillips are both substitutes, the former is thin and the laboratory believes that he is not up to the conditions to play, and is currently undergoing a physical strengthening training, while Wright Phillips, although he has performed well in training, has not been able to pry into Hleb's main position for the time being.

The three midfielders are Arau Diarra, Juninho Jr. and Paulson, with the Brazilian in the middle and attacking more forward, tending to be a central midfielder, while Arau Diarra is at the end, Mourinho is particularly interested in his height, and Poulsen is next to Juninho Jr. to protect.

Xiao Yu's favorite Essien was deprived of the main position, but Xiao Yu did not put forward any opinion on this, because he knew that Essien was not blocked, but Mourinho felt that he still needed to beat, especially when he often had some actions that did not obey tactical commands on the field.

Young people always like to show their presence, especially for Essien, who became the main player in the team last year, he wants to prove himself better, this is motivation, but also pressure, so Mourinho decided to let him play as a substitute this season.

From left to right, the backline is Abidal, John Terry, Distin and Bosingwa, and the goalkeeper is Kasper Schmeichel.

Although Evra performed well last season and was the absolute main force of the team, in Mourinho's opinion, his defense is still very flawed, especially his habit of liking to be aggressive is even more uneasy, and he is still young, while Abidal seems to be more comprehensive than Evra, and the attack and defense are more balanced, and he is naturally the main force of the team.

As for Bosingwa replacing Stansson, Xiao Yu thinks that the former should be more in line with Mourinho's taste, with a balance between attack and defense, and Stanson's speed is slow, resulting in his obvious lack of offensive ability on the side, and Mourinho even believes that he is more suitable to play as a central defender rather than the current right wing-back.

In terms of goalkeepers, Mourinho made it clear that Schmeichel will be an absolute mainstay in the team without injury and fitness, because the players on the pitch are relatively young and need him to sit at the back.

In addition to the 433, Mourinho has also tried the 442 lineup many times in training, and the forwards are basically Crouch and Kitson, and Olic and Palacio each have a player, forming a high-speed combination, which is also the most popular forward partner of many English teams.

The two full-backs in the midfield have not changed, with two midfielders in the middle, Arau Diarra and Paulsen in the middle, and the back line has basically not changed.

Judging from this set of tactics, Mourinho is obviously thinking about how the team should respond when Juninho Jr. is absent, after all, the new Manchester United does lack a player of Juninho's strength in the current squad.

De Rossi is good, he has retreated from striker to midfield, he has some passing ability, but he is not young enough for Mourinho to put a lot of responsibility on him, you know, this is the professional league of the English League, not the former amateur league.

Of course, the main lineup in training matches does not mean that the main team will definitely be played in the official game, and Mourinho has expressed his attitude in the communication with the players on many occasions.

"No one in my team is an irreplaceable absolute mainstay, if any of you want to play, okay, show your strength and hard work in training to convince me, and if your performance in training or on and off the pitch is unacceptable to me, then I'm sorry, you have to accept the bench on the sidelines!"

It is precisely because Mourinho has shown his attitude since the first day he took charge of the team, so despite the intensity of the team's training, the players have gritted their teeth and persevered.

This has to be commended by the laboratory, they require the masseurs to always relax and recover after the players' intense training, which makes the new Manchester United players surprisingly injury-free after Mourinho's hellish training.

The only one who was a little reassuring was Franck, the Frenchman's fitness was so bad that Mourinho even had to take a break from first-team training to train with the youth team and strengthen his fitness at the same time.

Every time he saw Ribery appear in the youth team, Xiao Yu had to shake his head and sigh, it was not for nothing that those late-blooming football talents were abandoned early in their careers.

Patrice Evra has the pace, but the technical and defensive skills are not very good, and although he has improved a lot in the past two years, in Mourinho's opinion, he has not yet reached the main requirements of the professional league, which shows that he was abandoned by Paris Saint-Saint-Bahn in the first place.

The same reason is also Ribery, his body is too thin, his physical fitness is too bad, just imagine, except for a perverted time-traveler like Xiao Yu, who is willing to give a player like Ribery who seems to be unable to play in professional games a chance, let him take a salary, slowly adjust his body, and slowly strengthen his physical fitness?

Maverick magic skills are not something that can be practiced in a day!
