Mourinho doesn't talk much, but he is very inflammatory.
Young people like Rashford have already started clenching their fists and getting excited.
Even the veterans of the team are excited by Mourinho's passion.
After Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United has never had that kind of courage.
Moyes' aura is too weak. After all, he has never coached a wealthy club, so he lacks experience.
Van Gaal is too stubborn, and many of his tactical ideas are a bit out of date, which makes him uncomfortable in the Premier League and Europe.
And Mourinho is still the iron-blooded coach.
He just wants the team to be united and cohesive, and he doesn't care about things like player talent.
Unity, hard work, tenacity, and strong tactical execution, Mourinho is confident to defeat everything!
At this moment, looking at the players in front of him, Mourinho was in a good mood.
There will be a second day of training tomorrow, and Mourinho didn't say much to encourage morale.
Everything, come on in training and in games.
Before the official training began, Mourinho had one thing he wanted to announce.
"The current team captains, Rooney and Carrick,
"He was very pleased with their performance,
"In the new season, I hope we will continue to work hard and lead Manchester United to victory.
"As for the third captain who has been vacant, he will be officially appointed tomorrow.
"Is the team's third captain——xia!"
When Mourinho said that, even the assistant coach Perrin next to him was a little surprised.
He decided directly on that matter without discussing it with anyone.
The players didn't expect it either.
Because in the team, De Gea, Herrera, Valencia and other players are eligible to wear the captain's armband, regardless of their qualifications.
Even if Ibrahimovic has just joined the team, he still has the aura of captain.
But Mourinho just appointed the third captain to Xia Xing.
Xia Xing was also a little dazed.
But soon, he adjusted his mentality.
Mourinho nodded at him wrongly and signaled him to come forward.
Xia Xing came to Mourinho and turned to face everyone.
"Brothers, guys,
"To be honest, he didn't even think that he could become the third captain of the team.
“The coach’s arrangements put a lot of pressure on him.
"Bu Nao, he is willing to accept that kind of challenge!
"The title of captain is not a title of pride, but an example of hard work.
“In the coming months, he will definitely lead by example and be more diligent and hard-working.
"Bu Xiang failed the coach for his trust, and Bu Xiang failed everyone for his expectations!"
"thank you all!"
Xia Xing's words are watertight. As the former third captain of Leicester City, although he is young, he has considerable experience in leading a team.
Moreover, he is now the boss of a sports company with a market value of 100 million euros, and his management ability and aura have also been greatly improved.
Mourinho nodded with satisfaction, and the players burst into applause.
Rooney and Carrick, the captain and deputy captain at the front of the team, applauded vigorously, and Ibrahimovic next to him also kept applauding and nodding.
Most of the other players were also convinced.
A 21-year-old talented star, a playmaker who has led teams like Leicester City to win five crowns, is qualified to be the third captain of Manchester United!
no problem!
Wow, there are many people in the crowd who are missing.
Such as Pogba.
After returning from Juventus that time, Pogba has been holding back his energy.
He even wanted to see Ferguson.
I kicked him out back then because I thought his contract was too demanding and I refused to renew it.
So what now?
Don’t we still have to invite him back?
When the time comes, he will lead Manchester United to win the championship, and he will even slap me in the face!
Let everyone see who is the real man of Manchester United!
But now, Xia Xing has completely stolen his limelight.
Not only was he more popular in the team, but he also got the position of third captain.
That made Pogba very unhappy.
He patted his leg symbolically and pretended to be applauding.
He put his legs down but clenched his fists.
When he excelled last season, we knew who was Manchester United's strongest talent!
When meeting the players for the first time, Mourinho was straightforward and not sloppy.
After picking up Donglai, it’s time for training.
During that week, the Lord asked me whether my body could resume training.
It's just a mistake for the players who have just returned from vacation. Now it is very important to control their weight and gain muscle and lose fat.
Many players with poor self-control even gained about ten pounds that summer compared with the weight of normal athletes.
That's something Mourinho will never allow.
The hard training begins.
For some players, it's not a big problem.
For example, hardworking Rooney, Carrick, Jesse Lingard, Mata and other players have already begun to adjust their bodies and keep working out at home. During that time, they just need to improve their game condition.
But even if it weren't for them, they couldn't compare with the team's new third captain.
In the first training session, Xia Xing stood out!
Regardless of whether it is speed training, strength training, or flexibility training, Xia Xing is the best!
Assistant coach Perlan clapped his legs and praised him!
In that state, it’s no problem to play in the Champions League final now!
While Mourinho was delighted, he was also a little surprised.
Why has xia grown so much?
And also became stronger?
I'm 22 years old and my body is growing. Isn't it amazing?
After a week of continuous recovery training, many players felt very tired, but Fu Xiaxing didn't care.
He is still the earliest one to come every day, and he is very eager to practice more on his own after training.
That resilience is something everyone admires.
That third captain candidate is qualified!
But Pogba was not convinced.
Football is not the same as rugby. Although physical strength is important, technique is even more important.
When it comes to the competition, let me see who is the genius with the best skills!
A week later, I really saw it.
Bu Nao is not Xia Xing, but Pogba.
A week later, there was ball training, and Mourinho began to try different formation combinations and play off-team matches.
Each game lasts 45 minutes, and the main purpose is to train the cooperation between the players.
During the competition, Xia Xing even stole the show!
Cooperating with his new teammates, Xia Xing positioned himself as far back as possible, at left wing back.
When faced with an attack, he defended with all his strength.
After several rounds of games, Manchester United's attacking players have experienced Xia Xing's defensive capabilities.
Regardless of whether they are young Rashford, Martial, veteran Rooney, or Ibrahimovic, they all felt Xia Xing's defensive pressure.
Xia Xing's marking ability is average, so he rarely guards one person all the time.
But with his excellent running ability, there is no position in the backcourt that he cannot cover.
Coupled with top speed and explosive power, super physical hardness and impact, any offensive player will be worried when they see him.
Even Rooney was amazed: "Xia, when they competed in the league this season, I wasn't that strong!"
Rashford has turned into Xia Xing's little fan: "A super invincible midfielder with no blind spots at 360 degrees! He is simply as good as Keane's predecessor back then!"
And this is very much a reflection of Xia Xing’s defensive ability...
