Red Rebels

In the hotel's coffee shop, Lorenzo finally met the British-Chinese, who is said to rarely be interviewed by the media.

Wearing a dry and fashionable sportswear, his tall and straight height, sunny smile, especially the resolute spirit of a young man exuding from his gestures, as well as his pair of smart eyes, left a particularly deep impression on people. impression.

"Hello, Mr. Lorenzo!" Xiao Yu took the initiative to reach out.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Xiao Yu, thank you for accepting our interview during your busy schedule!"

Xiao Yu greeted Lorenzo to sit down, then shook his head with a smile, "Oh, no, Mr. Lorenzo, I'm on vacation and have a lot of time. As long as it's not during the game, I'm very free, but I don't. It is a big habit to be interviewed by the media, maybe because of this, everyone will misunderstand that I am busy!"

Lorenzo burst into laughter after hearing this, and the first impression Xiao Yu gave him was that it was easy to touch.

"I heard that Mr. Xiao Yu traveled back and forth between Belgium and the Netherlands. You plan to watch every game as much as possible, right?" Lorenzo picked up a notepad and a pen.

"Yes, because I am very worried, I think there is a sign that football is becoming more and more utilitarian. I am afraid that a football feast like this European Cup will be difficult to appear in the future, and this European Cup is even Italy. Start playing offensive football, don't you think it's not good enough?"

Lorenzo was stunned. After he understood, he laughed again. Indeed, in the first 2:1 victory over Turkey in Italy, they played not conservatively at all. Turkey is fighting against each other.

"So, as the owner of the club, Mr. Xiao Yu would also like to see offensive football?"

"No no no, on the contrary, as a part of the new Manchester United, what I want to see most is to win. I think both offensive football and utilitarian football are acceptable. The world of football is changing and flowing, but one thing remains the same. , that is the pursuit of results, and it is precisely because I have such a utilitarian idea that I am worried that the future European Cups will not look good!"

This time, Lorenzo recalled what Xiao Yu had just said, and laughed again.

He felt that talking to Xiao Yu had to be a bit of a brain, because he was always amusing to hide the joke in the dark, you have to grab it, dig it, and then laugh.

He must be a very nice person!

"England lost last night. As an England supporter, what do you think of that game?"

"It's a shame for a good team to win, but that's how football is!"

"What about Beckham? You've heard of him making obscene gestures to England fans after the game, do you think it's appropriate?" Lorenzo asked immediately.

"As his good friend, I know David very well. He has been through a lot recently. The team he loves just lost. He is a very professional and self-motivated person. Realm, you no longer need to supervise them any more, their self-motivation and self-esteem will not allow them to fail, so as long as they play, they will think of victory!"

"But that's why he feels sad when England loses, but I believe what makes him even more sad is that England fans scold him and his wife and children, I think it's Very unforgivable, those who don't deserve to be England fans at all, they are a bunch of rubbish who can't afford to lose!"

When Lorenzo heard the last sentence, he hesitated for a while, and was considering whether to copy Xiao Yu's words completely, but Xiao Yu immediately stretched out his hand and pointed to his notepad, "It's okay, Mr. Lorenzo. , you must report what I just said completely, I just want to wake up those ignorant people who lose the game but only look for scapegoats!"

Seeing Xiao Yu's serious expression,

Lorenzo knew that Xiao Yu was not joking. Xiao Yu was obviously supporting Beckham in this way, which made him think that Xiao Yu should be a very trustworthy friend.

"So, do you think Beckham's actions are understandable?"

Xiao Yu nodded, "Yes, but I have to say that he must have been out of anger at the time, so he seemed irrational, that's not the usual him."

"Then what do you usually communicate with Beckham? We all know that you are very good friends!"

"Occasionally come out to drink, but he is a very professional person, he rarely drinks, and he drinks very little, he is always concerned about training and games, I think he should be a role model for professional players! Everyone! It's more about his performance on the pitch than his hair, his looks, his demeanor."

"What about you? I believe many people find it strange that with your ability today, you can completely acquire a Premier League team, but you..."

"I have to clarify one point," Xiao Yu interrupted Lorenzo, "I went to the United States to develop my career after founding the new Manchester United, so my identity is always a fan, and then everything else."

"Then how do you manage a club on a daily basis? In a company way?"

Xiao Yu thought for a while, "The management model of the company is very different from the management model of the club, but fundamentally, the similarities are very large, that is, people-oriented, the management of any company is for balance, I believe in football So does the club."

"Can you give an example?"

Xiao Yu thought about it carefully, "For example, if we want to buy a player, we will first consult the head coach to confirm where our team needs to be supplemented, and then the scouts will start looking for people to collect some information and videos. , and then the head coach and scouts, plus I wait for a few people to negotiate together, after confirming the candidate, I or my good partner Walsh will personally go to negotiate."

"You don't give the manager all the power like other clubs in England?"

"I think you have misunderstood. In fact, there are not many clubs that give the manager all the transfer power, such as Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson has not been able to get all the transfer power, and his transfer application has to go to Edwards in the end. Approval, only the latter nods, the transfer can be approved, of course, in most cases, Edwards will agree!"

In fact, Xiao Yu has seen Ferguson's criticism of Edwards in the newspapers many times, some of which are about the latter's rejection of his transfer application.

Giving the head coach the most transfer power and non-head coaches controlling the transfer power can be said to have both advantages and disadvantages. It is difficult to say that one is better than the other, so Xiao Yu feels that a club is the most ideal. The transfer rights distribution model is all about balance.

"It seems that Mr. Xiao Yu has only founded the new Manchester United for two years, but you seem to have a lot of experience in this regard!" Lorenzo felt a little emotional after hearing this. He felt that the man in front of him was not at all like a 25-year-old. The young man, especially his football insights, is even more thorough than himself.

"Maybe you don't know, Mr. Xiao Yu, I'm still a good friend of Jose Mourinho. I heard that your club is very interested in him recently."

"Really?" Xiao Yu was a little surprised, he really didn't know about it, "We are indeed very interested in him, because I have seen many advantages that a successful head coach must have from him, diligence, attention to detail, And the arrogance that he seems to be born with, but I think he puts too much pressure on himself."

"Then do you think he can become the new Manchester United's Ferguson?" Lorenzo asked with concern.

This question immediately let Xiao Yu know that Mourinho obviously told Lorenzo the conversation between the two, but that was not important, the important thing was that he wanted to know what Mourinho thought.

In fact, what he used before was the aggressive method.

"It's possible, but I can't guarantee it. You know, there is only a thin line between arrogance and pride. A arrogant person's pride is only an appearance, but in fact he is very humble on the inside. He will constantly absorb the strengths of others to make up for it. Your own shortcomings, continuous improvement, and continuous improvement of yourself, but proud people will not."

After a pause, Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "Even now, I still can't tell whether Mr. Mourinho is arrogant or arrogant. I hope it is the former, because I am really sincere!"

When he said this, Xiao Yu was obviously speaking in a private capacity, otherwise, given the current position of the new Manchester United club, it would be absolutely unworthy to say such a thing.

But Lorenzo didn't feel uncomfortable when he heard it. Instead, he felt that Xiao Yu's words were reasonable.

But he knew very well that Mourinho was arrogant!

Of course, it was impossible for him to tell Xiao Yu these words, and he could only tell Mourinho slowly after he went back.

"Then if Jose arrives at the new Manchester United, what kind of power can you give him?" Lorenzo couldn't help but ask this question.

Because he is worried that a fanatic fan like Xiao Yu, who is also a successful person himself, will point fingers at the coach's plan, which will affect Mourinho's coaching environment invisibly.

"Anyone who is familiar with the new Manchester United knows that I never trouble Steve Bruce, I never even participate in his plans, everything about the team, including training, the youth system, including penalties or rewarding players, etc. Wait, I'll leave it all to him, and Mr Mourinho will only get more, not less!"

After hearing this sentence, Lorenzo immediately understood Xiao Yu's determination and sincerity.

As the saying goes, don't use people without suspicion, and don't use people who are suspicious. This is a Chinese saying, and it is perfectly suitable for Xiao Yu.

It is precisely because of this sentence that Lorenzo is more supportive of Mourinho going to the new Manchester United, because he can see that Xiao Yu is a very ambitious but very wise club owner.

It is precisely because of this that three days after this interview, Lorenzo acted as a peacemaker, invited Xiao Yu and Mourinho out, the three of them had a meal together, and then slipped away by himself. , leaving Xiao Yu and Mourinho.

Mourinho, who already knew everything from Lorenzo, no longer rejects coaching the new Manchester United, but he was arrogant and never let go of his figure, and never talked to Xiao Yu about this matter.

Instead, it was Xiao Yu who gave Mourinho a big stick before, but this time he voluntarily backed down, reached out and gave him a sweet date, and once again invited him to coach the new Manchester United, and Mourinho also took the opportunity to step down and nodded. promise.

Since then, the head coach candidate that has troubled Xiao Yu for a long time has finally come to an end!
