Chapter 28 Locker Room Talk

Mourinho slammed the tactical board and went into a rage mode.

"While I don't want to criticize individual performances, some of you performed so poorly that you didn't deserve to win."

"You have to understand that I'm not talking about one or two games, but three, four, five games, even half a season, in terms of goals, assists, pressure, pressing, etc., the performance has been declining."

As Mourinho pointed his fingers one by one, the temperature in the locker room seemed to drop to freezing point.

All the Manchester United players were trembling, as if they were stripped naked and thrown into the snow.

Mourinho was like an angry lion. He looked around and continued to scold.

“So I guess enough is enough because other people are trying to get a chance and everyone deserves a chance.”

"But when you get the chance and you don't perform well enough, then you have to accept the bad result."

"You caused this yourself!"

"I suggest that all of you remember what I said, otherwise it will be too late to regret it later!"

“It’s that simple!!!”

After saying this, Mourinho slammed the door and left to attend the post-match press conference.

Martial, sitting in the corner, couldn't hide his anger. He clenched his hands tightly, and his nails seemed to dig into his flesh.

It was clearly you who deprived me of my No. 9 jersey, and it was clearly you who made me sit on the bench for a long time, and now you are turning the tables on me.

The Manchester United players looked towards the corner vaguely, and just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they found that Ibrahimovic stood up, and their nerves tensed up again.

Mourinho may train his players, but he never uses violence.

This one is different.

Ibrahimovic looked at the young Manchester United players and couldn't utter the swear words that were about to come out of his mouth, but instead slowed down his tone slightly.

"If you come to Manchester United just to get a salary and hang out, then tell me now."

"The transfer period hasn't ended yet. I will talk to Jose and help you find a more suitable team."

"If not, then you have to take every game seriously because everyone else is working hard to win."

"Today's game is in the past. Don't dwell on what happened. Instead, learn from it and keep moving forward."

After saying this, Ibrahimovic glanced at Martial out of the corner of his eye and silently packed up his equipment.

He has seen many giant baby players in his career. To be honest, he used to be such a person. He subconsciously believed that there would be no problem for him.

When conflicts arise with others, they will develop strong resistance, and their training attitude will become negative and extreme.

Fortunately, someone helped him correct this bad mentality.

Now, whether as a teammate or a senior, he does not want Martial to go down this path of no return.

Chu Feng looked at Ibrahimovic's domineering back and thought that Mourinho and Ibrahimovic were a perfect match.

The former's stubborn character often leads to irreconcilable conflicts with the players.

But the addition of the latter has actually helped to stabilize the locker room.

Half an hour later, on the bus back to Manchester, although the atmosphere was still solemn, it was no longer suffocating.

Manchester United players all understand that the head coach is criticizing the matter, not the person, and as long as they correct their attitude, they will not be scolded for no reason.

After returning to the training base.

Mourinho held a brief meeting and announced the official start of the half-month vacation.

He doesn't care whether you are going to the national team to compete or to the Hawaiian beach for vacation.

As he put it, everyone is fighting for their chance.

If you don't cherish it, someone else will.

Then Mourinho and Ibrahimovic set off for Monaco to attend the Champions League group stage draw ceremony.

Chu Feng sighed.

Actually, he also wanted to go, but he was not famous enough.

So I had to return to the dormitory, review the previous game, and watch the live broadcast on TV.

“Welcome to watch the 2017-18 UEFA Champions League group stage draw and UEFA awards ceremony.”

"The camera was focused on Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Buffon, who are the top three UEFA best players."

“.”

Chu Feng couldn't help but be stunned.

Although all the players at the scene were the star players of each team, they seemed to be overshadowed by the brilliance emitted by those two people.

When will I be able to stand on that podium? Chu Feng shook his head. He hadn't even secured his starting position yet, but he was already fantasizing about winning a prize.

Keep your feet on the ground! Chu Feng criticized himself harshly and continued to read with relish.

The first award was the UEFA President's Award. Totti, who announced his retirement last season, stood up and slowly walked up to the podium.

"It's an honor to receive this award. My dream was to play for just one team throughout my career, and now I can truly say that I did it."

There was applause from the audience.

No matter how football develops, players who can stick to their own country deserve everyone's respect.

Then there is the best goalkeeper in the Champions League.

Juventus youngster Buffon held the trophy and said loudly: "I am very proud to receive this award at this age."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"If there is a secret to winning awards, I think it is that I have always been hungry for honors. This is the only way I know how to perform at the top level."

The players also gave warm applause.

Most of them grew up watching Buffon play football, and now they have become the main players of top clubs, but he has not retired yet.

Then everyone observed a moment of silence for Juventus and Italy's substitute goalkeeper.

The British Crown Prince, Roma's vice-captain, and Buffon's substitute.

Just hold on, who can outlast you?

Then the scene changed and it became Real Madrid's exclusive show.

Champions League Best Defender: Ramos! Champions League Best Midfielder: Modric!

Champions League best striker: Cristiano Ronaldo! UEFA Men's Player of the Year: Cristiano Ronaldo! No way.

After all, Real Madrid is the first team to defend the title after the Champions League was reformed.

He had a dominant performance last season and won all the best midfield and forward player awards without any objection.

Holding the trophy representing honor, Ronaldo gave a speech with a smile.

"I play for a fantastic team, Real Madrid."

"I love scoring goals and winning trophies, both as a team and as an individual, and I feel very happy now."

When leaving the stage, Messi shook hands with Ronaldo to express his congratulations.

The relationship between the two is actually good. They respect each other and are not hostile.

There are just a few extreme fans who keep stirring up trouble by saying "People who like Ronaldo should hate Messi" and "People who like Messi should hate Ronaldo".

Anyway, Chu Feng didn’t pay attention to those messy things. He turned on his mobile phone and played a song "Good Luck Comes".

I hope Mourinho’s face won’t be too tarnished.

He doesn't want to fail to qualify for the group stage in his first Champions League career.

As the cheerful and festive melody sounded.

Chu Feng stared at the screen in amazement.

Oh my god, this is a great sign!

Is Manchester United UEFA's own son?
