Chapter 0683, internal troubles, external troubles
yes, it's really nostalgic.
In the summer of 2015, those days of hard work with my friends are so nostalgic.
Even after Manchester United once again topped Europe and became the greater six-time champions, Xia Xing still often recalls that title night in 2016.
At the time of joining Manchester United, the Reds were eyeing the Champions League title.
But at Leicester, no one thought they would win the Champions League.
No one even thought they could win the Premier League.
Even if you win the FA Cup and the League Cup, it will not be easy.
Even manager Claudio Ranieri has been showing weakness in front of the media.
"Our goal is relegation."
Before winning the league title, Ranieri's words are now laughing in retrospect.
And even in his second season, Leicester were unstoppable, and Ranieri was still very low-key.
He didn't dare to put too much pressure on the players and let everyone rush forward unscrupulously.
Lost, normal, we're a small team after all.
If you win, that's a miracle.
And along the way, Chairman Vichai has injected continuous money and soul into the club.
The soul of this team is Vichai, and that's not a problem at all.
Today's football is no longer the stage of individual heroism.
Now football is a competition of management, and it is about management level and financial resources.
The emergence of the Leicester miracle was the success of Vichai's management.
As soon as he thought of Vichai, Xia Xing also felt that his eyes were a little moist.
The car drove into the outskirts of Leicester city and stopped outside a villa.
At this time, there are many vehicles here.
"Here?" Mahrez was a little puzzled, he thought Xia Xing would take him to Leicester City club.
"This is the chairman's house," Xia Xing got out of the car and pointed in the direction of the courtyard, "The saddest person now should be Alvat." ”
Xia Xing and Mahrez walked to a villa, and at this time a middle-aged man was sending guests out, he was the Alvat in Xia Xing's mouth, also called Xu Shengyuan, and was the son of Vichai.
As soon as he turned around to bid farewell to the guests, he saw Xia Xing at a glance.
"Xia, you're here."
"Old Xu, the festival is precious."
Xia Xing stepped forward and hugged Alvat tightly.
The two had a good relationship when they were at Leicester City.
He doesn't even call out his Chinese name, but directly calls "Lao Xu".
On weekdays, Rivechai often took Alvath with him and passed on all his management skills about the club to his son.
And for Abbart, he is excited to have the opportunity to manage Leicester City in the future.
Because he's a die-hard football fan.
"Riad, you're here too."
"Mr. President."
"Alas, this title of chairman is so stressful. I didn't expect this day to come so early. ”
Mahrez also stepped forward and hugged Alvat.
The three of them chatted outside the door, and Alvat invited Xia Xing and Mahrez into the house, but the two politely declined.
"Lao Xu, I know you still have a lot to do, so I won't bother, and speak directly if you need to."
"Okay, thank you."
Xia Xing and Mahrez turned around and were about to leave, when Alvat suddenly said something behind him.
"I wish you could go back to Leicester one day, even though I know it's unlikely......"
Hearing this, Xia Xing couldn't help but turn around and hugged Alvat hard again.
Who can say what the future holds......
Because Xia Xing was absent on leave, Mourinho did not arrange him to play in the next Premier League game.
Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw by Everton, suffering two consecutive league draws.
They are now out of the top 10 and third in the Champions League group.
During this time, there were constant media reports about Mourinho's dismissal crisis.
The Times: "Jose Mourinho spoke late at night with Manchester United management to discuss the future of the team. ”
The Guardian: "Manchester United's management are unhappy with the team's recent results and they have started to look into Mourinho's future. ”
The Sun: "Mourinho and management have clashed again because of the team's summer transfer work, and the two sides are about to part ways! ”
In the midst of the tumult, Mourinho has encountered the biggest crisis since taking charge.
However, the club's top management personally came forward and said that Mourinho's position is very stable.
Jose Mourinho also said at a press conference that his future is at Manchester United.
But now that he's at Manchester United, he's going to have to make some changes.
First of all, he directly knocked Pogba out of the starting lineup!
But it's a big deal for Manchester United!
Pogba, who has always been very complaining about Mourinho and quite dissatisfied with Xia Xing, has become an unstable factor in the dressing room.
As long as he's there, the team's coordination is always poor.
And after the big screen Everton, Pogba bluntly said that the team did not give him enough trust!
Such a public bombardment of the coach directly made Mourinho angry!
This time, he directly announced on the training ground that Pogba would be suspended within the team!
Reflect on it, and when you think about it, go back to playing!
In the face of Mourinho's high pressure, Pogba did not show weakness.
It's impossible to apologize, if you don't play, you won't play, it doesn't matter!
Along with him, Martial was abandoned.
His lazy training and game attitude made Mourinho completely disappointed in him.
He has even been left out of the 18-man squad.
During this time, the two became pairs, nostalgic for various nightclubs every day, singing and dancing every night.
It doesn't matter, there's no game to play anyway, love it!
Such Pogba and Anthony Martial will naturally not escape the favor of the media.
For example, the reporters of The Sun are like flies circling the two of them every day, looking for all kinds of explosive remarks.
At first, the two who faced the media were too lazy to deal with each other.
The Sun: "What do you think of Jose Mourinho?" ”
Pogba: "......"
Anthony Martial: "......"
The next day, The Sun published: "When asked about Mourinho, Pogba and Anthony Martial were dismissive! ”
Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial: "Fxxk U......"
Whether you say it or not, or say anything, the media will add fuel and vinegar, so just say it!
Facing the media again, Pogba once again bombarded Mourinho: "I have enough respect in the French team to be able to be an important member of the World Cup winners!" But at Manchester United, I wasn't respected! Especially Jose Mourinho, he didn't take me seriously at all! ”
Anthony Martial's statement was also meaningful: "Jose Mourinho is very unhappy with the management of the club, so he has to take certain people, like the two of us. Pogba was brought in by the club's management, and I was signed by the previous manager, so Mourinho took us to power! (End of chapter)
