"Why are you suddenly so interested in coming out for coffee?"

Luis Lorenzo sat down opposite Mourinho, and was used to this old friend who was always cold. After asking for a cup of coffee from the waitress who greeted him, he focused on reading some manuscripts.

He is one of the most famous sports journalists in Portugal. He has columns and relationships in many newspapers. At the same time, he and Mourinho are fellow villagers. The two have known each other since a long time ago and have always had a good relationship.

I thought Mourinho would explain it, but who knew what he wanted, Lorenzo looked up from the manuscript, stared at Mourinho a little strangely, and asked with concern: "What's the matter with you? stuffed?"

Mourinho woke up with a start, shook his head, picked up coffee to drink, but found it was cold, so he quickly waved to the waitress and asked her to bring a hot cup, but his brows did not stretch from beginning to end. Pass.

"Louis, do you think Ferguson is great?" Mourinho asked suddenly.

Lorenzo burst out laughing: "Of course it's great, you know? Now the evaluation of him in the football world is that he created an era, created a dynasty, and he is even considered to be the greatest player in Manchester United's history. The coach, whether as his friend or opponent, you have to admire his achievements and his ability."

"What about Brian Clough?"

"It's also great, but from my personal point of view, I think Clough is more valuable, but Ferguson has encountered more difficulties, after all, football now is completely different from football before, and in In the future, the road of football will become more and more difficult and more utilitarian!"

After listening to Mourinho, he seemed to have some feelings, which made Lorenzo, who was familiar with him, immediately noticed some differences.

"What's the matter? What happened?"

Mourinho looked out of the coffee house. From time to time, he could see celebrating Belgian fans walking by cheering, with the joy of the national team winning on their faces. This joy is pure!

"I met a club owner who was interested in me just now. He told me confidently that I would regret losing an opportunity to create an era. He also called me short-sighted!" Mourinho said with a half-smile.

Lorenzo was looking at his good friend. He knew that Mourinho said that, it proved that he was really stabbed in a certain area of ​​pain. Otherwise, with his character, he would never show this. emotional.

"Louis, if it's you, will you become one of the bright stars in the galaxy, or will you open up a magnificent galaxy for future generations to live in?"

Lorenzo felt that this seemed a bit esoteric, but after thinking for a while, he replied: "The former is undoubtedly easier, but the latter is obviously more difficult, but it is easier to give people a sense of achievement and satisfaction, both options are It's okay, it depends on who it is."

Having said this, Lorenzo suddenly smiled.

"Frankly, Jose, I suddenly feel that the owner of the club that is interested in you is familiar with you. He obviously understands your character, and it sounds like he is very ambitious."

"You don't even know which club it is!"

"It doesn't matter, Jose," Lorenzo shook his head, "as long as it's not a Portuguese club, I've worked in Portuguese football for so long, and I know very well that being a head coach in the Portuguese league is a big deal. Very unsafe thing, especially a rookie coach, you don't expect to get anything out of it, because you may be fired in less than half a year!"

It is for the same reason that Lorenzo dissuaded Mourinho a year ago when he was about to accept an invitation to coach a top Portuguese team, and Mourinho listened to him. Opinions, continue to stay in Barcelona.

However, it should be said that Mourinho was not happy in the last year of his stay in Barcelona.

His heart swelled, he couldn't allow himself to continue to be an assistant coach, and his tactical divergence from Van Gaal made him feel even more difficult.

But no matter what, the year is finally over, Van Gaal left, Gaspart came in, and Ferrer was brought in, so Mourinho left naturally, everything was unexpected, but also Reasonable.

"That's a club from the English Serie C!" Mourinho finally said the identity of the other party.

Lorenzo couldn't laugh for a moment. He clearly knew Mourinho's arrogant character, and he would never allow himself to be so wronged.

But in fact, how much talent and ability Mourinho has, God knows!

"Do you want to hear the truth, Jose?" Lorenzo asked after thinking for a while.

"Of course, otherwise you wouldn't be sitting here!"

Lorenzo smiled bitterly, he felt that Mourinho's words were still so tricky and mean.

"I think you should try it. The league level is not a problem. Even if it is the English League C, it is also a professional league. As long as you do well, there will also be higher-level teams looking at you, and at a lower level. Coaching at the same level, with less pressure, will give you enough room to make mistakes."

"In the top league, a game decides life and death. If you win, you are God. If you lose, you are the devil. It is a killing field, and you will not be allowed to make even the slightest mistake. You have been in Barcelona for so long, you should be more than me. understand this."

"I believe in you Jose, you are full of theory now, but you need the opportunity to practice, and practice may make mistakes, and I listened to you just now, the owner of that club is very ambitious, why don't you think about it What? England's coaching environment is still pretty good! But the most important thing is, Jose, you are now unemployed!"

Mourinho was told this by Lorenzo, and felt that his current situation seemed to be the case.

Xiao Yu knew his future, knew that he had endured the pressure and eventually became a famous European coach, but Mourinho himself doesn't know it now. The only thing he knows is that he is now unemployed and idle at home, waiting for an opportunity!

"They are the newly-promoted League Three, the new Manchester United!" Mourinho said the name of the club that had just invited him.

When Lorenzo heard this, he was immediately a little surprised, "New Manchester United?"

"You know this team?"

"Of course, this is a very interesting team. It was very sensational when it was established. It won two double championships in a row for two years after its establishment, and it was directly promoted to the League Three. It has a certain reputation in England. , but the funniest thing is their boss!"

"Xiao Yu?" Mourinho frowned, that guy even more arrogant than him.

"Don't blame me for saying you, Jose, although I am your friend, I have to admit that you are not as good as him in any way, he definitely has the capital to be arrogant in front of you, if you know this person! After speaking, Lorenzo immediately told some of Xiao Yu's deeds that he had learned.

This surprised Mourinho, because he did not know that Xiao Yu once went bankrupt to found the new Manchester United, let alone that Xiao Yu started from scratch, but now he is a brother of Apple's Steve Jobs, and he did not know that he was invested by Wall Street in the United States. The unanimous praise of the family.

Of course, Mourinho will not know that the sports car Xiao Yu designed for Lamborghini just won the design award at a very authoritative auto show in the world, and he will not know that Xiao Yu personally wrote the team song for the team...

When Lorenzo told everything he had learned, he was surprised to find that what Xiao Yu had done had far exceeded his imagination.

"To put it simply, he is a super fanatical fan, and at the same time he is very, very rich, and he is willing to spend money. One of his most common words is that the new Manchester United is like his son, and according to me As far as he knows, he is definitely not the kind of person who is open-mouthed."

"What do you mean by that?"

Lorenzo smiled, "This is a gamble, Jose, Xiao Yu is betting on whether you will become Ferguson, and you are betting on whether the new Manchester United will become Manchester United."

"So what?" Mourinho was a little unhappy. What he didn't like the most was gambling. Even if he later became a famous European coach, he also didn't like gambling. He thought it was luck, and he liked to control all possibilities.

"According to the current cards between you and him, if I were a gambler, I would bet on him, because no matter how you look at it, he has more potential for appreciation than you, it's that simple, Jose! "Lorenzo chuckled.

Xiao Yu is a rich man himself, and he is willing to spend money, and funds have become the most important factor in the development of the club. Lorenzo believes that even if Mourinho refuses, Xiao Yu will soon be able to find both fame and ability. The man who did not lose to Mourinho came to take over the new Manchester United because of his ambition and money.

Thinking about it carefully, Lorenzo feels strange, why did Xiao Yu find Mourinho?

To say that he is Van Gaal's assistant coach, but he is not Van Gaal's direct line. He even often questions Van Gaal's actions in private, which makes the famous Dutch coach very dissatisfied, and his biggest trouble is that he never No one-sided experience.

Players are talented, but head coaches rarely hear about geniuses. Almost every head coach is constantly groping, researching and learning, moving forward under the encouragement of failure and victory, and finally tempering. A level of coaching.

But Mourinho did not even have the experience of coaching the youth team.

Why did Xiao Yu choose him? Does he think that Mourinho will be a potential stock like a software company in Silicon Valley?

Of course, the arrogant Mourinho would think that Xiao Yu chose him for granted, but Lorenzo was curious, and he felt that he had to help his good friend figure out this matter.

In fact, he soon found an opportunity.

On June 12, after England's 2-3 loss to Portugal, Beckham made an obscene gesture of raising his middle finger to England fans in the stands. Because the game was broadcast live, the scene was blocked. All the fans in the audience in front of the TV watched and caused an uproar.

In this case, Luis Lorenzo offered to interview Beckham's good friend!

And Xiao Yu simply agreed!
