Chapter 417 How about just following the arrangements you said?
The weather is very bad today, cloudy and windy.

Even in the warm office, Mourinho still felt a little cold listening to the wind outside the window.

He put away his notebook, stood up, and made two cups of tea.

Since Xia Xing gave him some Huaguo green tea, he quickly fell in love with this thing.

It's a good thing, and 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 have worked hard recently, why do I feel that you have lost weight?"

"Well, maybe the black windbreaker looks thinner."

"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."

"Thank you."

Woodward is not tall, slightly bald, and his flushed cheeks look very friendly. He is not like the CEO of a well-known football club, but like an ordinary English white-collar worker.

But if anyone dares to underestimate him, he will suffer a loss.

This business wizard is quite capable.

Even Mendez, who is smart, is very cautious in dealing with him.

The two sat down, and Mourinho pointed to the green tea on the table.

"Drink some tea, Huaguo authentic, super good."

Woodward took a sip and nodded: "Xia gave it to you."

"How did you know?"

"Aliona also gave me some. Although I can't tell what kind it is, it tastes the same as this one."

"That little girl is indeed a natural business genius."

"Hehe, after all, Xia is a Manchester United player, and their sports company also has a lot of communication with Manchester United. It will definitely be beneficial to have more friendship in the management."

"Of course, you are a well-known business elite in Europe."

"Stop making fun of me, Jose."

The two chatted while drinking tea, and quickly got back to the topic.

Mourinho didn't mention Pogba either, so he waited for Woodward to speak first.

Sure enough, Woodward spoke first.

"Jose, I also know your character, so I won't play around with you.

"Raiola came to me twice a while ago to talk to me about Pogba.

"He said he wanted Pogba to play a more important role at Manchester United, like in the heart of midfield.

"I kept suppressing it and didn't talk to you about it.

“After yesterday’s Premier League game, the fat man came to see me again.

"He said Pogba already has the quality of a United playmaker and he hopes to get more opportunities.

"That's why I came to talk to you about this today,
"I want to ask for your opinion. How about giving Pogba more opportunities?"

Listening to Woodward's words, Mourinho did not answer for a long time. He looked at the other side and spoke slowly.

"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 the team's transfer matters will seek my opinion to the maximum extent. , why, this promise doesn’t work anymore?”

Woodward waved his hands again and again.

"No, no, Jose, you think too much, this is absolutely impossible.

"The club will never break its promise.

"I think so, after all Pogba cost Manchester United 1.05 million euros,
"It would be a pity if, because of the status of the team, there was a rift in the end and Pogba's state was affected.

"He's a good player too, isn't he?

"Especially in the last game, Xia was obviously not in good shape.
"But Pogba came on as a substitute and created the goal,

"And did a good job in organizing the midfield position,
"In our next intensive schedule, we can give Pogba more chances,
"This not only maximizes the use of Pogba, but also allows Xia to have more rest time.
"Why not do it?

"What do you think?"

Woodward's words are very watery.

Of course Mourinho could hear it.

For Pogba, Mourinho does not have particularly big expectations.

He wasn't even the one who pushed for the transfer in the first place.

You must know that before Mourinho joined Manchester United, the top management of Manchester United had already finalized Pogba's transfer in advance.

Otherwise, with Mourinho's characteristics of running the army with an iron fist, he absolutely does not allow such thorns to exist in the team.

Not even with talent.

You know, even Sir Alex Ferguson couldn't hold Pogba back, let alone him?
But Manchester United finally spent 1.05 million euros to sign Pogba, which made Mourinho helpless.

As long as it comes, it will be safe, so use it well.

When Mourinho asked the team to sign Xia Xing, some people in Manchester United even raised doubts.

Will the usefulness of Xia and Pogba overlap?Is this transfer necessary?

In the end, Mourinho directly proposed that this transfer was one of the conditions for him to join Manchester United, and Xia Xing's transfer was finally fully formed.

And after Xia Xing joined the team, the upper management has always had some opinions on him.

After all, Pogba is their favorite player, while Xia Xing is Mourinho's favorite, and the value difference between the two is more than half.

If Xia Xing is kicked out and Pogba is not in good condition, then the management's face will be too embarrassing.

So at the beginning of the league, Pogba obviously received more club support, especially the top management.

Xia Xing has been an assistant for a long time.

But even so, Xia Xing still showed amazing talent. His passing and shooting surpassed Pogba's and helped Manchester United turn the tide on many occasions.

In the end, he also secured his position as the core of the midfield playmaker.

Manchester United's performance is good, and the club's top management is in a good mood.

Pogba is not in good form, and the club's senior management is in a bad mood.

As far as the management is concerned, they believe that the team's outstanding performance has something to do with Xia Xing, but it is only part of it.

Now the Manchester United team is in excellent condition, and whoever is the core of the playmaker can do well.

Therefore, if Pogba can be helped at this time, he may quickly regain his form.

In yesterday's game, Xia Xing's condition was obviously up and down, and Pogba also showed good competitive form after coming off the bench.

This is a good opportunity.

Therefore, Raiola also contacted Woodward for the first time, and the two hit it off, and this was the conversation today.

Looking at Woodward with a simple and honest smile in front of him, Mourinho sneered in his heart.

It is not easy to be the coach of Manchester United, and now I feel more and more.

It's really bad.

If that's the case, then it's as you wish.

"Ed, I think you have a point,
"Pogba is also a talented player,

"It does have the ability to get more opportunities,

"Xia's defensive ability is also very good,
"It's okay to support Pogba,

"Since that's the case, I'm like at the beginning of the season,
"Adjust the team's tactics again,

"Let Pogba take on more responsibility,

"How about just following the arrangements you said?"
