Chapter 0686, support the former self
Leaving Woodward's office, Mourinho was on the training ground.
Because we won the game yesterday, today the players are on holiday and it's empty.
Jose Mourinho sat on the sidelines of the pitch and watched the pitch in a daze.
The last words he said to Woodward had two meanings.
On the one hand, the club often interferes with its own transfers, so even if you give money during the winter break, you will most likely not have the final say.
On the other hand, maybe during the winter break, it is not you who is sitting in the United manager's seat......
This is not Mourinho's speculation, nor is it empty media speculation, but Manchester United's management does have plans to change managers.
This is an inside source from Mendes, who informed Mourinho in advance.
"Jorge, are they sure they want to change the manager? Just because of the poor results caused by injuries in half a season, you are ready to replace the coach of the six-time champion? β
"Jose, what they're going to replace is not a six-time champion, it's a disobedient manager. The current Manchester United management thinks that the team is very strong, and anyone can get good results, so why not change to an obedient one? And now they have made a lot of money, change to obedient, stable for a few years, maybe in the future they plan to sell the team. β
"They still want to sell the team?"
"Yes."
"Alas......"
"So I've already thought about your future for you in advance, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Alas......"
Mourinho sighed twice, not knowing what to say.
After all, it was a mistake.
This terrible November has passed.
As December begins, Manchester United have great news waiting for them.
The 2018 Golden Globe Awards are presented!
On December 4, a grand banquet was held here in the Grand Palais in Paris, France.
This night is a festival for fans all over the world.
Among the Golden Globe Awards for so many years, perhaps 2018 is the most suspenseful.
Because in the past year, there have been too many superstars shining on the international football scene.
Not only is the league star-studded, but the World Cup stage is also exciting.
As a World Cup year, the players who have won good results for their teams naturally have a big advantage, even more than the league results.
As the playmaker of the champions France, Antoine Griezmann is the favourite for the Ballon d'Or.
His wonderful performance at the World Cup has already put him in the ranks of supergiants.
And Atletico Madrid's wonderful performance also made him not inferior to other opponents, and the Europa League championship can be regarded as a good hand.
As his teammate, Mbappe is naturally at the top of the list.
As the brightest supernova of 2018, Mbappe's shine at the World Cup has already captured the world's attention.
Now everyone has a conclusion - it is only a matter of time before Mbappe wins the Ballon d'Or.
The championship is enviable, and the runner-up is equally respectable.
In particular, Croatia's fighting spirit won applause from all over the world on the World Cup stage.
Luka Modric, the spiritual leader of this team, has even become the most popular candidate.
Some people even say that he brought Croatia to the runner-up position, and its gold content is definitely more than the French champion.
In a way, this is reasonable.
A country of millions of people has earned the respect of the world by reaching the World Cup final.
In addition to these three players, Messi and Ronaldo are naturally regulars in the selection of the Ballon d'Or.
Cristiano Ronaldo, the winner of last year's Ballon d'Or, is still playing well in this natural year.
His super high goal count is still Real Madrid's superstar.
Although Portugal did not go far in the World Cup, he overturned Spain 3-3, and that hat trick was even more amazing to the world.
His selection is also reasonable.
And Messi's election was also expected by everyone.
As the leader of last season's La Liga title, his 34 league goals were the team's biggest reliance on winning the title, and with the league title and the Golden Boot in hand, Messi's Barcelona still dominate La Liga.
On the stage of the World Cup, the Argentine team he led only lost 3-4 to the eventual champion France, but it was unlucky.
His selection also makes sense.
However, in 2018, none of these names are the absolute protagonists.
Before them, Xia Xing's name stood prominently!
Winner of the Six Crowns!
Best player in the Premier League, assist king!
FA Cup Goalscorer King, League Cup Goalscorer King!
Champions League best player, Champions League scorer king, assist king!
Perhaps the 4-2 match in the World Cup final was very memorable, but Manchester United's 4-3 Jedi counterattack in the Champions League final must be a more heart-wrenching battle!
Xia Xing's one pass and three shots helped the team fight back and achieve a big reversal!
That battle was the epitome of a perfect season for Xia Xing!
He has been a hero countless times!
The topic of the Ballon d'Or winner has been hyped by fans for more than a month.
There are also quite a few media interviews with many people.
In relation to the judges, they naturally favor their own players, whether they are coaches or teammates, and they must be mainly calf protectors.
However, the statements of other neutrals are very intriguing.
Sneijder: "It's still unknown what the outcome will be, but I'd love to see Xia win the Ballon d'Or again!" As a club Grand Slam winner and captain, he has repeatedly helped the team to create miracles, and such a player is much harder than a World Cup winner! His performance in 2018 was unbeatable! β
Ribery: "I think Xia's current strength has already surpassed me at my peak!" Anyone who has watched the Champions League final will definitely choose him! Because he deserves the Golden Globe honor! β
The speeches of these two players are very representative, and they are both optimistic about Xia Xing.
The German newspaper Bild interprets the opinions of the two: "In this way, they are not only supporting Xia, but also supporting themselves who once deserved to win the award." β
That's not a problem at all.
As the star of the year's triple crown and five-time champion, these two did not win the Golden Ball at that time, and have been criticized by many fans for FIFA to this day.
And not only the players, but also many coaches favor Xia Xing.
Arsene Wenger: "Even though I'm French, I still think Xia was the best player of 2018. As long as he is present, I always have an indescribable despair, he is really a phenomenal superstar, his future achievements will not be worse than Messi and Ronaldo, and he is also the best successor in the era of double pride. β
Countless voices are noisy, and who will finally be the flower will be revealed.
The top three players in the final ranking are Xia Xing, Luka Modric and Antoine Griezmann.
Off the stage, they waited for the final result.
And when Kaka appeared as a guest of honor, many people guessed the result!
The smiling Kaka opened the note in his hand and read out the long-awaited name!
