Chapter 132: Conversation in the Locker Room (First Update)

Inside the Carrington training base, Manchester United players had just finished their daily training, and there was only one figure left on the green field.

Chu Feng was very confused. Usually, Rashford, Lingard and others would stay and practice for a while.

How come I can't even see his shadow today? Chu Feng thought about the date. February 2nd was not Valentine's Day! He didn't think for too long. After practicing a few sets of oxtails, he walked towards the locker room. The moment he pushed open the door.

Bang! Bang! Bang! As the low sounds continued, the colorful ribbons scattered and danced in the air like a group of snakes.

"Oh, let us welcome the Premier League top scorer. Chu!!!"

Lingard put one foot on the table in the middle of the locker room and shouted at the top of his voice.

“Scored Four Goals!!!”

The rest of the Manchester United players followed suit.

Chu Feng reluctantly took off the ribbon that fell on his hair and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, I have to correct you, Salah's number of goals is the same as mine!"

"So technically I'm not number one yet!"

Chu Feng suddenly saw Rashford shaking the champagne frantically, so he quickly stopped him: "Marcus, stop what you are doing and put the champagne back in the refrigerator!"

But Rashford didn't stop.

"You know, it's not a good habit to open champagne in advance, let's think about AC Milan!"

Chu Feng suddenly had an idea.

Sure enough, the bloody facts were more intimidating. Rashford paused and nodded in agreement. "Okay, I admit that what you said does make sense, but you have to pay for the next four drinks."

"It doesn't matter. A one-on-one goalkeeper is similar to a cashier. I think Chu will like it."

Ibrahimovic suddenly joined in and made a teasing remark.

"Hahaha, do you think Chu will ride a bicycle when paying the bill? Can he knock the cashier down?"

Lingard's laughter echoed in the locker room.

“You guys!”

Chu Feng stretched out his finger and pointed at everyone.

Finally, he deliberately put on a serious face and said: "I think it should be possible."

The Manchester United players laughed again when they heard this, and the locker room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Mourinho deliberately waited outside for a while before walking in. Seeing the mess on the floor, he couldn't help but laugh, "Let's have a small meeting."

"Now that more than half of the season has passed and there are only 14 league games left, the gap between us and Manchester City has not widened."

"So you can celebrate, but don't get too complacent and continue to stay humble."

"According to the schedule arranged by the English Football Association, we will face Manchester City in the third-to-last round. That game should determine the champion!"

"Everyone should be prepared to fight to the last moment!"

Mourinho's tone was not serious, as if he was chatting with an old friend.

He then asked: "Another thing is the Champions League. I want to know what your impression of it is? Zlatan, you talk first."

"I am very proud of my career and I have never regretted a single moment, even if I didn't win the Champions League."

"So the Champions League without me is not worth watching."

Ibrahimovic sat casually on the table, but his words were very domineering.

"Same old, David. How about you?"

Mourinho nodded slightly.

"To be honest, I've had enough of the Europa League so I want to make progress in the Champions League."

"This progress refers to the championship."

De Gea shook his gloves and did not hide anything.

"Not bad, Chu, what do you think of the Champions League?"

Chu Feng stared blankly at his hand on his thigh.

What is his goal? Before, it was to improve his family's financial situation. Now, with a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds and millions of dollars in endorsement fees, he can be said to have achieved it.

What about now? He seemed to have never thought about this question before. Suddenly, he recalled his goals one by one, and the feeling made him addicted.

What about the champion? In his heart, there seemed to be flames swaying in the wind, rising and burning, instantly setting off a prairie fire.

This is a strong motivation.

When the Manchester United players thought he was going to say something cliché, Chu Feng's infectious voice rang out.

"I want titles, the FA Cup, the Carabao Cup, the Premier League, the Champions League."

"But this is something that can't be done by one person, so I think you know what I mean."

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

The locker room was quiet for a moment.

"Excellent, that's the answer I wanted."

"Since Sir Alex Ferguson left, Manchester United has not won the Premier League and Champions League again. Maybe it's because of the coach, or maybe it's because of the players."

"But those are not the issues we should be focusing on, we will definitely win the championship this season!"

"As for the reason?"

"We have the best players and the best head coach."

Mourinho glanced around, memorized the expressions of the Manchester United players, and continued: "It's not comforting or arrogant, you know I never lie."

"Last season we won the only three championships in recent years for Manchester United, and this is the best proof. This season we have become stronger, and the top of the Premier League standings is the best proof. Except for Burnley, no team has ever beaten us, including Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and other giants. This is the best proof."

"I once told Chu that human potential is unlimited, but it is locked in a cabinet. Confidence is the key to open the cabinet."

“I’ll give it to you now.”

Mourinho narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke in a deep voice.

An interesting episode passed quickly.

The next day, Manchester United players arrived at Old Trafford. They would face Huddersfield at home in the 26th round of the Premier League, a team that once caused them great difficulties.

It is unrealistic to play two games in just three days, so Mourinho fielded a semi-rotated lineup, and Chu Feng was not even included in the roster.

In the first half of the game, both teams played tepidly and neither side was able to create a chance to score.

When fans thought that Manchester United's 7-0 victory over Tottenham in the last game was just a flash in the pan.

Just seven minutes into the second half, Lingard broke through on the wing and made a cross, and McTominay made a powerful shot from the back row to score.

1-0!

At the critical moment, it was McTominay, who had the blood of the Red Devil, who stood up. Because Manchester United introduced Kovacic in the winter window, McTominay's playing time was squeezed again.

Originally, Mourinho wanted to loan McTominay out to play in the game.

There are also many Championship clubs interested in him, such as Leeds United, Fulham and Aston Villa.

But McTominay would rather stay at Manchester United.

In the end, Mourinho chose to respect his disciple's ideas and promised to try his best to give him playing time.
