Chapter 417 How about just following the arrangements you said?
The weather today is very bad, cloudy and windy.
Even in the warm office, Mourinho still felt a little cold while listening to the sound of hunting outside the window.
He put away his notebook, stood up, and made two cups of tea.
Ever since Xia Xing gave him some Chinese green tea, he quickly fell in love with it.
It's really good stuff. Jean Woodward will try it later.
Boom, boom, boom!
There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in!"
Woodward opened the door, strode towards Mourinho, and gave him a warm hug with a smile.
"Jose, you've been working hard lately, why do I feel like you've lost weight?"
"Well, maybe it's because the black trench coat makes me look slimmer."
Mourinho didn't mention Pogba either, just waiting for Woodward to speak first.
"How did you know?"
In the end, Mourinho directly proposed that this transfer was one of the conditions for joining Manchester United, and Xia Xing's transfer finally took shape.
When Mourinho asked the team to sign Xia Xing, some people within Manchester United even raised questions.
It’s really hard to be a good person.
For the management, they believe that the team's outstanding performance is related to Xia Xing, but it is only part of it.
Sure enough, Woodward spoke first.
Not even if you have talent.
Therefore, at the beginning of the league, Pogba obviously received more support from the clubs, especially the top management.
“Drink some tea, genuine Huaguo tea, super good.”
Woodward's words are very watery.
This is a good opportunity.
Pogba is in poor condition and the club's senior management is in a bad mood.
You must know that before Mourinho joined Manchester United, Manchester United's top brass had already finalized Pogba's transfer in advance.
In the end, he also secured his position as the midfield playmaker.
But even so, Xia Xing still showed amazing talent. His passing and shooting surpassed Pogba's and helped Manchester United turn the tide many times.
"Raiola came to see me twice a while ago and talked to me about Pogba's situation.
Therefore, if Pogba can be given a hand at this time, he may be able to quickly regain his form.
"He said he hopes Pogba can play a more important role at Manchester United, such as the core of the midfield.
Woodward took a sip and nodded: "Xia gave it to you."
Even the smart Mendes is very cautious when dealing with him.
Looking at Woodward with a simple and honest smile in front of him, Mourinho sneered in his heart.
In yesterday's game, Xia Xing's condition was obviously up and down, and Pogba also showed good competitive form after coming on as a substitute.
"Thanks."
Once you get it, make peace with it, then use it well.
After all, Pogba is the player they fancy, and Xia Xing is Mourinho's favorite, and the difference in value between the two is more than half.
"I've been suppressing it and not talking to you about it.
If this is the case, then it will be as you wish.
You know, even Sir Alex Ferguson couldn't hold Pogba down, let alone him?
But Manchester United finally spent 105 million euros to sign Pogba, which left Mourinho helpless.
"Alyona also gave me some. Although I can't tell what kind it is, it tastes the same as this one."
If Xia Xing is kicked out and Pogba is in poor condition, the management will be embarrassed.
After Xia Xing joined the team, the top management always had some opinions about him.
"No, no, no, Jose, you are overthinking, this is absolutely impossible to happen.
“After yesterday’s Premier League match, that fat man came to see me again.
"When you invited me in May this year, you promised me that as long as I am the Manchester United coach for one day, the team's tactical arrangements will be all based on me, and my opinion will be solicited to the maximum extent on the team's transfer matters.
,Why, this promise doesn’t work anymore?”
"Of course, you are a famous business elite in Europe."
But if anyone dares to underestimate him, he will suffer a loss.
Xia Xing has been working as an assistant for a long time.
He wasn't even the one who promoted the transfer in the first place.
It’s not easy to be the Manchester United manager, I feel more and more about it now.
"You do have the ability to get more opportunities,
Woodward is not tall, slightly bald, and his red cheeks look very friendly. He does not look like the CEO of a well-known football club, but looks like an ordinary English white-collar worker.
The entire Manchester United team is in excellent shape right now, and anyone who plays the role of the core player can excel.
"Ed, I think you are right.
"Pogba is also a talented player,
"And he did a good job in organizing the midfield position,
"In our intensive schedule next, we can give Pogba more opportunities.
"This is not only to maximize the use of Pogba, but also to give Xiao more rest time.
"Why not do it?
Manchester United's results are good and the club's top management is in a good mood.
"He said that Pogba already has the ability to be the core playmaker of Manchester United and he hopes to get more opportunities.
The two sat down and Mourinho pointed to the green tea on the table.
Of course Mourinho can hear it.
This business wizard is quite capable.
"He's a good player too, isn't he?
"That little girl is indeed a born business wizard."
"Haha, after all, xia is a Manchester United player. Their sports company also has a lot of contacts with Manchester United. It will definitely be beneficial to have more good friends with the management."
"What do you think?"
"Stop making fun of me, Jose."
Will the uses of Xia and Pogba overlap? Is this transfer necessary?
The two of them drank tea and chatted, and soon got back to the topic.
After listening to Woodward's words, Mourinho did not answer for a long time. He looked at the other person and spoke slowly.
"Haha, stop making trouble. You just work too hard for Manchester United. I have already said hello to the club's senior management and I will definitely give you a worthy Christmas gift."
Otherwise, with Mourinho's iron-fisted rule, he would never allow such a thorn in the team.
Therefore, Raiola also contacted Woodward immediately, and the two sides hit it off, which led to today's conversation.
"The club will never break its promise.
Woodward waved his hands repeatedly.
"Especially in the last game, xia was obviously in poor condition.
"But Pogba scored a goal after coming on as a substitute.
Mourinho does not have particularly high expectations for Pogba.
"I think so, after all Pogba cost Manchester United 105 million euros.
"It would be a pity if a rift eventually breaks out due to the team's status and affects Pogba's condition.
"That's why I came to talk to you today about this matter,
"I want to ask for your opinion. How about giving Pogba more opportunities?"
"Jose, I also know your character, so I won't beat around the bush with you.
"And xia's defensive ability is also very good.
"It's okay to support Pogba.
"That being the case, I'm just like I was at the beginning of the season,
“Adjust the team’s tactics again,
"Let Pogba take greater responsibility,
"How about just following the arrangements you said?"
