Chapter 0692, Hello, Coach Solskjaer
"Meet again!"
Looking at Mourinho's last sentence, Xia Xing was speechless for a while.
The phrase "meet again by fate" is definitely not a simple meeting again.
One day in the future, maybe the two will still fight together on the same team?
It's hard to say, I can't say.
Lyona at the dining table gently patted Xia Xing, who was stunned.
"It's his message, right?"
"Hmm."
"Don't be too sad, after all, this choice was made by himself, it must have been well thought out, and you should bless him."
"Hmm."
Li De diverted the topic: "Then do you have a new coach candidate?" ”
"There it is."
"Who?"
"Ole Gunnar Solskjaer."
"Oh, he's not bad, he's a good man."
As an old Premier League fan, Li De still knows Ole Gunnar Solskjaer well.
Not only the era of players, but also the era of coaching.
Needless to say when he was a player, he was a super substitute at the top of Manchester United, helped Manchester United win numerous honours, and was a star who played with his brains.
After retiring from the sport in the summer of 2008, he became head coach and coached in United's development squad.
He had a stellar season with a bang, winning the Manchester Super Cup, the Lancashire Super Cup and finishing second in the Premier League's reserve Northern League. The following season, he led the team to win the Premier League Reserve League title.
The coaching talent is quite impressive.
In the autumn of 2010, he accepted an offer from his former club Molde to become head coach. In his first season in charge, he set a record for the team and helped the team win the first domestic top league championship in the history of the team. A year later, he once again defended his title one round ahead of schedule.
In the winter of 2014, he briefly took charge of Cardiff City in the Premier League, but left nine months later.
After returning to Molde after class, he became the manager of the team again and led the team back to the Norwegian Premier League.
And now, before his contract expires, he has received an offer from Manchester United.
In fact, before Mourinho offered to leave, Manchester United management had already contacted Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in advance.
The young manager's potential and character have left Manchester United management satisfied.
Even if Jose Mourinho doesn't leave voluntarily, perhaps Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will come to Manchester United this summer.
It's just that this plan was advanced.
With Mourinho leaving suddenly, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer quickly took over.
Even if he terminated his contract with Molde early, Manchester United did not promise Ole Gunnar Solskjaer anything, but only gave him a temporary contract for six months to be an interim manager.
But even so, Solskjaer threw himself into the arms of Manchester United without hesitation.
Suitability or not, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's affection for Manchester United alone is absolutely unparalleled.
On 24 December, Jose Mourinho left office on Christmas Eve.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took office on 25 December.
The Manchester United boss is seamless.
On Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first day in office, he personally visited Xia Xing's home.
And Xia Xing also warmly welcomed him to dinner.
"Xia, nice to meet you!"
"Coach, I'm honored to meet you too. You know, you were my idol when I was younger. ”
"Haha, then you are much more powerful than idols, I haven't won so many great honors."
Solskjaer is much kinder than Mourinho.
When he was in Norway before, his style was also very gentle, and he mingled with the players.
This is somewhat similar to Ranieri.
However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is younger and closer to the players.
After receiving the call before, Xia Xing had already prepared the ingredients for dinner in advance, and it was good to simmer it a little.
The first time he tasted Xia Xing's food, Solskjaer was full of praise.
"It was super delicious! I strongly recommend that you reserve a room for me, and I plan to stay at your house for a long time in the future, just for the sake of food! ”
Both Alyona and Lide laughed.
This new manager, not bad.
Corporal Lixian's treatment of Xia Xing was a little moved.
Although he is the captain of the team, after all, he is young, and many new coaches stand up for the first thing when they come to the team, and even use the team's big-name stars to declare sovereignty and show authority.
But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer didn't.
He is very kind, and the topic of football during meals and chats is also quite professional.
Even in terms of player skills, he is better than Jose Mourinho.
After all, he was Manchester United's top scorer back then.
During this meal, the two had a very pleasant conversation.
After dinner, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did not leave in a hurry, but chatted with Xia Xing about the future of the team.
"Xia, what are your thoughts on the future of the team?"
"Everything is at your disposal, and I will do my best."
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer smiled: "Xia, we are not too much of a year apart, I am still younger than Mourinho, you don't have to treat me as an adult, just a friend, or a big brother." Just talk about anything, nothing. ”
"This ......"
"Don't be embarrassed, when Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge of me, he used to talk to me about the team's tactics. Even when I was on the bench, he would ask me for advice during the game and look for the weaknesses of the opponent together. I want you to be able to talk as much as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did. ”
got the permission of the new handsome, Xia Xing didn't hide it, what did he say.
'The team is in a lot of trouble right now and it's a dilemma at hand.
"Even if we just won the Club World Cup, it doesn't mean we're out of the game.
"It was just a continuation of last season's good performances, and this season's bad performances are still unavoidable.
"We are still outside the top 10 in the league and the Champions League is still a tough one.
"And a number of players in our squad have been injured, and the long journey of the Club World Cup has also caused the players to suffer from a serious decline in fitness.
"And now it's a time of Christmas.
"Because we went to the UAE and there were two games missed,
"The next step is to compress the break and the pressure will be even greater.
"So how to reasonably distribute the physical fitness of the players and adjust the overall state of the whole team,
"That's the biggest problem right now."
Xia Xing's words were insightful and insightful, and Solskjaer nodded again and again.
"Yes Xia, you're not wrong at all.
"What you're thinking about, I've been thinking about for a long time.
"Some time ago, the Manchester United board talked to me about the possibility of managing the team in the future.
"I've been following Manchester United ever since.
'So I'm well aware of the situation of the team.
"Rest assured, I've got a countermeasure for this situation.
"I contacted my friends in Manchester United's development squad some time ago.
"Knowing the current situation of the reserves and youth teams,
"There were a lot of young people who were very nice, so I decided to give them a chance.
"In addition to that, I have another thought,
"I have to consult with you,
"Your consent must be obtained......" (end of chapter)
