Red Rebels

After the cooperation with Mourinho was finalized, Xiao Yu didn't care much about the European Cup, and it happened that Eva Snow had something to return to the United States, so he simply returned to England.

A few days after returning to Manchester, Xiao Yu welcomed Mourinho, as well as the assistants Luis Faria and Andre Boas he asked to bring, both of whom were Portuguese and equally young.

The 25-year-old Faria has a baby face and always has a friendly smile. According to Mourinho, he is a fitness coach and has a good set of ball recovery training systems. Bringing great help, Mourinho met during his time at Barcelona. He studied at the University of Porto, but he did an internship at Barcelona for a period of time.

Andre Boas is even younger. He is only 23 years old this year, but his qualifications are very rich. He obtained a European coaching license at the age of 17. He once worked as a coach in Porto, and then went to the British Virgin Islands team. The technical advisor, said to be an assistant introduced to Mourinho by Lorenzo, is a keen scout, especially good at intelligence gathering.

At present, the new Manchester United is making great efforts to set up a scouting network, but it lacks a leader who can lead. As soon as Boyas arrived, Xiao Yu immediately entrusted this important burden to him, which surprised and grateful to the latter. , because he is so young, in this senior football circle, he has almost no qualifications.

But Xiao Yu trusted him so much.

Mourinho, who was watching quietly, had to feel admiration. Xiao Yu's actions to buy people's hearts were indeed quite skillful, and he won the loyalty of Boyas all of a sudden.

During the chat, the original staff of the club also arrived one after another, including the research experts in the laboratory.

"This is my best partner, and also a great hero of the new Manchester United, Andy Walsh, you can tell him anything, he will be your best logistics expert; this is the academy. Mr. Jim Cassell of the Camp, from Manchester United, he is the director of the academy!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yu also introduced Derek and Professor Friar from the laboratory, as well as Carl Markinson and Darren Lyons, who have all decided to retire and join the coaching staff. As for Peter Schmeichel was on vacation and did not come to the meeting.

Mourinho had asked Xiao Yu to choose a person familiar with the club as his assistant to help him manage and coordinate the relationship between the top and bottom of the club, while Xiao Yu put Schmeichel, Markinson and Lyons three. People were listed, and finally Mourinho chose three people to join the coaching staff.

"Although this is the first time everyone has met, I hope that everyone can speak freely, talk about all the requirements of your work candidly, and then work together to solve the problem!" Xiao Yu sat down after speaking. .

Immediately, everyone turned their attention to Mourinho. He was a newcomer, and everyone was not very familiar with him, but he was also the head coach of the team, so of course he wanted to hear what he had to say about the team. Require.

Mourinho is not shy, he said directly to Cassell: "I want to hear Mr. Cassell's introduction to the youth training camp first. I always believe that the future of a team lies in the youth training."

Cassel smiled politely, "We currently have five youth academy teams, U19, U17, U15, U13 and U11, but we have a very close cooperation relationship with nearby schools, you know, English The FA strictly restricts clubs from selecting materials in a certain area nearby, so..."

Everyone immediately understood this regulation, which is also a feature of the UK.

"U13 and U11 are mainly responsible for basic technical training, and there is almost no physical fitness or special training for each position. We encourage offense and let young players attack recklessly on the field,

In this way to stimulate their football talent, while developing their interest in football. "

There is a consensus in the football field that offense is more pleasing than defense, and it is easier for offensive players to switch to defense, but it is difficult for defensive players to learn to attack, so generally in the beginning of youth teams, they are strongly advocated attack.

"Since U15, we have started to add some technical skills, such as long- and short-distance passing, shooting, defensive skills, etc., to encourage a wide range of cooperation and running without the ball, and this young group also does not have special physical training. ."

The U15 seems to be sculpting the player's skills, especially after the training of the first two young stages. Generally, at this young stage, the players' technical talents have been stimulated almost, and the U15 is to determine whether they can be in the future. Becoming a watershed professional player.

"Starting from U17, we have added more small-scale cooperation. We advocate high-intensity and high-tech confrontation. At the same time, we will also teach players how to combine physical and technical skills to play their strengths and advantages more efficiently. At the same time, To further strengthen the team's off-ball movement system."

"As for the U19, it's basically the same as the adult team. We will arrange positions for the players according to their characteristics, and carry out different training and requirements for different positions. Since England has a team in every age group. League, so every young player can get a certain opportunity to exercise.”

After listening to Mourinho, he couldn't stop nodding. In terms of the league system, England has done the best, especially his strict league system, which can't be seen in other European countries.

"I noticed, Mr. Cassell, you put a lot of emphasis on running without the ball in training. I heard Mr. Xiao Yu say, you are from Manchester United?" Mourinho asked with a smile.

"Yes, sir!" Cassel replied politely.

"That's fantastic, you know? When I was at Barcelona, ​​I talked to Cruyff many times about Manchester United's off-ball system, and I was very interested in this system and in creating it. Mr. Eric Harrison of the system is very admirable, and I hope to have the opportunity to learn more about this aspect in the future!"

"I'm honored, sir, that Mr. Harrison is like my teacher, he's truly an amazing man!"

Mourinho nodded with a smile, then stood up, left his seat, swept the crowd, and said: "Before in Belgium, I had a very detailed conversation with Mr. Xiao Yu, I come from Barcelona, ​​I know Barcelona Ever since the Cruyff era, there has always been an attitude that the academy and the first team have to be in the same vein!"

"In the past few years in Barcelona, ​​I deeply feel the importance of this inheritance, even if Barcelona seems to have not benefited from this aspect in the past few years, I can guarantee that in a few years, Barcelona will benefit from it. The benefits are endless, so I hope to be able to port this system to the new Manchester United!"

Everyone is obviously a little surprised by this. They all know that Barcelona's youth training is well done. Last year and this year, many players were promoted to the first team, but they didn't know that there was such a relationship.

"But before unifying the style, we must first find the style that suits our team!" Cassel Mourinho agreed with the idea. Manchester United benefited from Ferguson. The team's tactics are flexible and changeable, but its core is not What has changed is a complete running system without the ball, which is the premise for all Manchester United players to integrate into the Manchester United system.

"Barça's style is possession of the ball, which is one of the styles of control, and the other is to control space. I personally think that both styles have their own strengths and weaknesses, so I prefer balance, A balance of ball control and space control, a balance of offense and defense!"

Speaking of which, Mourinho suddenly felt a desire in his heart!

Once upon a time, he was sitting in Cassel's position, listening to Robson, listening to Van Gaal telling himself this, and then he had a dream that one day, he also longed to be in this position. , explain your football philosophy to others like this, and let others do things according to their own requirements.

Now, the dream has finally come true, although this is only a League Three team, but so what?

Mourinho suddenly understood what Xiao Yu had said to him before. Yes, level is not a problem. If I really have that kind of strength and ambition, then I dare to say that all those who underestimate us will regret!

Thinking of this, Mourinho suddenly had an unprecedented self-confidence.

"I hope that starting from today, you must firmly remember one thing, that is, although we are only a Premier League team, everything in the club must be planned and built according to the Premier League team. The goal is the Premier League, it's Europe, I won't allow my team to stay at a lower level all the time, I'm going to lead everyone to the Premier League and let everyone in the world know about the new Manchester United, who I am Jose Mourinho, everyone. Knowing everyone you were there!"

Everyone present, except Xiao Yu, was obviously shocked by the strong desire and ambition emanating from Mourinho's words. It was hard for them to believe that a rookie coach who had just arrived, actually shouted that he was going to the Premier League. Slogan, is this not afraid of laughing off people's big teeth?

But I thought Mourinho was just talking. Who knows, a few days later, when he accepted an exclusive interview with the Manchester City Evening News, he faced beauty reporter Scarlett Elland. When Scarlett asked, two years ago The new Manchester United have won the double crown and successfully advanced, so what is the goal of the new Manchester United this year?

Mourinho is very calm, very confident, and even said in a tone that seems to be ironclad, "Don't doubt, Miss reporter, this year's championship has been decided, and that is our new Manchester United! So, for other Premier League players Team, I can only say I'm sorry, but please go and compete for the runner-up!"

At this moment, Scarlet suddenly felt that from Mourinho, he seemed to see the shadow of Xiao Yu. Once upon a time, he was so confident and told himself that the team would upgrade, what would happen, and the results were realized!

What about this time?

PS: I’ve been thinking about Real Madrid’s loss in the past few days, and I’m not feeling well. I just saw a friend chatting in the book review area. I’ll talk about some of my ideas for choosing a head coach. You can discuss and give pointers.

I'm thinking, the head coach of a team is related to the character of a team, we can see, what is the difference between the team coached by Wenger and the team coached by Ferguson? What's the difference between the team coached by Mourinho and the team coached by Ancelotti?

Maybe I didn't find it when playing against the underdogs, but in some key battles head-to-head, the character of the team plays a key role in the strength of a team and its ability to resist in adversity.

In my setting, the future Red Rebels is a team that can not only play a hearty technical control game, but also play a tough and tough comeback. At this time, the character of the team is very important. , For example, the Century Derby, I think Real Madrid is paying the debt for the team's loss of character in recent years. If it is a few years ago, even if it loses, can it lose like this?

A team has lost its character, and it is very difficult to reshape it, so we have seen that when Real Madrid played against the underdogs, it always played well, making people think that Real Madrid came back. , but when confronted with a decisive battle like Barcelona, ​​I began to want to win and be afraid of losing. This kind of psychology is the most deadly!

I remember when Raul and Guti left Real Madrid and I made a post on a fan forum and I think their departure will be something that Real Madrid will miss at some point in the future, like we miss Hierro and Ray Like Todo, they represent the character and heritage of this team.

Frankly speaking, when I was in the century derby, I thought of Raul. With him around, I might still lose, but I won't lose like this!

I think the character of the head coach should be in the same line, and looking at the football world at that time, I think it is in line with the current character of the team, YY can come at once, and at the same time can avoid changing coaches in a few years, and can lead the team to glory, almost Only Mourinho.

Moreover, he is from Barcelona. In terms of some tactical systems, it is easier to YY. You can read the next few chapters. If there is any mistake, please point out and bear with me!
