Although Heynckes still had some doubts about his boss's plan to put Mourinho in the position, he was still very convinced of Zhuang Mingge's vicious eyes, so he did not continue to argue with the other party on this issue.

To be honest, before getting the exact news from Zhuang Mingge, Heynckes had always thought that Fiorentina would attack Carlo Ancelotti, who was unstable. After all, Heynckes, who has a good personal relationship with Zhuang Mingge, knows very well that his own boss is very concerned about the new generation of Italian head coaches who have been ridiculed by the media as the second oldest in 10,000 years.

"I really didn't expect that you, boss, would be in such a hurry to push Jose to the position of first-team manager." Having said that, it was true, but in the conversation that followed, Heynckes still expressed the doubts buried in his heart, "I always thought that the boss would invite Ancelotti to let Jose continue to accumulate qualifications and experience." ”

"Haha, don't let Jose hear this, or he'll have to reason with you." Zhuang Mingge smiled, "Carlo Ancelotti is indeed a very good manager, but I don't think Jose can learn much from him. ”

Although Mourinho's age is easy to make people feel contemptible, Zhuang Mingge knows that the magic bird of this world has accumulated much better football tactics and related knowledge than in his previous life, and in this respect alone, he is not inferior to his masters. What he lacks now is only a resume in coaching a big club. After all, no matter what Zhuang Mingge thinks, in the eyes of outsiders, it is too risky to let a second-team coach take over a top team like Fiorentina.

Of course, if you want to say that a strengthened version of Mourinho can't handle the current Fiorentina team, then Zhuang Mingge must not believe it. You know, Mourinho has been working for Fiorentina for almost seven years. During this time, the Portuguese has held positions as assistant coach, youth team manager and second team manager at Fiorentina, and his coaching ability has been fully recognized by the players, and he has also established a good relationship with the team leaders and the new generation of players. It is based on the above considerations that Zhuang Mingge will make the decision to let Mourinho be the first-team manager.

What's more, at this time in his previous life, Mourinho had already led Porto to win the Triple Crown of the Champions Cup, League and Domestic Cup, but in this life, he was only the head coach of the Fiorentina second team due to Zhuang Mingge's relationship. Such a gap makes Zhuang Mingge sometimes feel very sorry for Mourinho, thinking that his crossing has made the magic bird lose the glory that should belong to him.

In contrast, Ancelotti does not quite meet Zhuang Mingge's criteria for selecting a coach. The leader of Italy's new generation of coaches is certainly at the top of his game in terms of tactics and dressing room atmosphere, but his on-the-spot command and overuse of key players are not suitable for Fiorentina now. Therefore, even if Ancelotti went to Fiorentina and recommended himself, Zhuang Mingge would never consider making him the manager of Fiorentina.

After saying goodbye to Zhuang Mingge, Heynckes immediately called Mourinho, intending to hand over the backlog of work to him so that he could report to the German national team as soon as possible. After all, the World Cup is going to be held in Germany in two years' time, and he must seize every time to clean up the current mess and get the wheels of the German tank spinning again.

However, it may take some time for Heynckes to successfully complete the handover with Mourinho. Because unlike Zhuang Mingge, a guy who travels on vacation in the name of scouting players, Mourinho, who also came to Portugal this summer, is now really inspecting hundreds of players from the 16 national teams that have entered the main match of this European Cup.

In order to ensure that the judgment will not be biased due to his own subjective factors, Mourinho also specially invited Alex Ferguson and Diego Simeone to form a group to watch the game in Portugal. In this case, Mourinho naturally did not have the time to do any work handover with Heynckes, because it took him a lot of time just to discuss these players with Ferguson and Simeone, and to sort out the relevant inspection records.

What's more, although Mourinho in this life has been trained by more tactical masters, and his tactical level is more than a step higher than in his previous life, the Portuguese's tough character and style of action have not changed much. Therefore, even if Heynckes comes to the door in person, Mourinho, who is already anxious, will not necessarily take care of him.

While Fiorentina was handing over power, the European Championship was also progressing step by step with the passage of time, and the eight teams that managed to break through from the group stage began to attack the final championship trophy!

On June 25, the quarter-finals of the European Championship were first played between Portugal and England, although due to the relationship of Zhuang Mingge, Portugal in this world lacked Deco, a first-class midfield playmaker, but in this game, the host's fighting power was not greatly affected.

Who made Portugal face in the quarter-finals against England, who are even less adept at controlling the tempo of the game?

In this way, Portugal, lacking a striker, and England, who are known as the "strongest in history", battled for a full 120 minutes at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, and it took a brutal penalty shoot-out to knock out the Three Lions with great difficulty.

The day after England were announced, Zinedine Zidane's French team also suffered a defeat on Greece. Charlesteauas, who plays for new Bundesliga champions Werder Bremen, scored in the 65th minute of the game to allow Greece to continue the myth they had played out at this European Championship, while the French players who had performed poorly under the ferocious defence of the Greek players had to swallow the bitter pill of being eliminated.

After the game, the French veterans led by Zidane were in tears. After all, for many of them, this could be their final pinnacle and their last chance to win a major tournament for their country. Therefore, these veterans have been working hard at this European Championship because they do not want to end their national team career empty-handed.

However, Greece, the dark horse, has completely shattered this dream of theirs, how can this not make them sad?!

After England and France were knocked out of the tournament, all eyes turned to the most eye-catching game of the quarter-finals of the tournament, which was the head-to-head clash between defending champions Italy and the orange team, the Netherlands.
