Star card system.

What does an angry Mourinho look like?

All Manchester United fans know that.

He angrily criticizes opposing players and coaches on the court, and he has a clear distinction between love and hate.

Even the referees are afraid of him.

Now, the Manchester United board of directors has also seen Mourinho's anger.

When Mourinho slammed the door out of the club's internal meeting, everyone in the room looked unhappy.

This arrogant Portuguese!

Because he won the Champions League and six titles, can Manchester United not let him go?

Too embarrassing!

I walked quickly back to the office, furious.

At this time, there were two people waiting for him in the office.

Assistant coach Perrin, new assistant coach Carrick.

"What's wrong Jose?" Perrin asked.

Mourinho said nothing and exhaled forcefully.

Carrick asked in a low voice: "Is it still because of the transfer issue?"

"Those bunch of bullshit!" Mourinho slammed the table hard. "What do they care about? Do they understand football? They only care about fame and status, and don't care about whether the team can use it. Good use! And you think my signing targets are too old? These damn veterans can still play well for at least five or six years! Just like Ibrahimovic! What do they know!"

Mourinho cursed loudly, and the two assistant coaches did not dare to speak.

After a long time, Mourinho was tired of scolding, and Carrick asked tentatively.

"Of those four people, how many did the club only agree to?"

Mourinho sighed: "I didn't agree with any of them, otherwise why would I be so angry?"

"Alas..." Perlan sighed, shook his head, and said nothing.

Since winning the Champions League, Mourinho has basically not taken a vacation.

I just returned to Portugal briefly for a few days to spend time with my family, and spent the rest of my time studying player transfer issues for the new season.

He has watched all the World Cup, and interested players have been paying attention.

Perrin and Carrick followed him around.

Originally, Mourinho wanted to give his partners a holiday, but other members of the coaching staff took leave, and Perrin and Carrick refused to leave.

As Mourinho's good partner, Perrin will naturally not abandon Mourinho.

After all, Mourinho has very high requirements for information and data. If he is not by his side, his analysis efficiency will be reduced a lot.

And Carrick regarded being with Mourinho as a good opportunity. He couldn't help but leave.

In the end, the trio worked together for more than a month to come up with a viable transfer list.

At the top of the list are four signing targets.

Perisic.

Maguire.

Griezmann.

Dell.

This order is also Mourinho's expected order.

But after he submitted the transfer target information, there was no response from the club's top management.

In this internal meeting, the possibility of introducing these four players was directly rejected.

The club management’s reasons are also very clear.

Perisic: Too old.

Pulisic, who is 29 years old this year, was in outstanding form on the World Cup stage. He was an important contributor to Croatia's entry into the finals. Mourinho likes Mourinho very much for his ability to pass and shoot well and make sharp breakthroughs.

But the club just said that he was too old and not worth the 4000 million euros transfer fee.

Because of this transfer deal, Manchester United and Inter Milan have been entangled for a long time over the transfer amounts of 3500 and 4000, with neither side giving in.

In the end, Manchester United officially responded to Inter Milan - we don’t buy him!

Mourinho's efforts were all in vain. Maguire: Too full.

Last summer, Mourinho proposed to buy a central defender. His first choice was Van Dijk, and his second choice was Maguire.

As a result, the club felt that the other party's asking price was too high, so they were reluctant to pay.

A season later, the high transfer fee did not stop Liverpool from buying people. Klopp decisively signed Van Dijk, winning the team's future defensive core.

In the Champions League final, Van Dijk's excellent defense left Manchester United's striker at a loss, and ultimately almost affected Manchester United's Champions League championship.

With this incident, Mourinho once again urged the club not to miss Maguire again.

Although Maguire is not as talented and physically as Van Dijk, his professionalism, physical fitness, and team awareness are top-notch, which is great.

Coupled with the good relationship between Manchester United and Leicester City, buying people will definitely not be a problem.

But Manchester United still balked at Leicester City's asking price.

It’s just a defender, why is it so expensive?

This is the consistent thinking of Manchester United management.

Just buy a few cheap ones, but they won't be outstanding anyway, and they won't enhance the club's commercial influence like offensive players.

And the club already has a lot of defenders available.

Smalling, Rojo, Blind, Bailly, Lindelof...

They are all six-time champions and considered top-notch central defenders. Why can't they be used and they have to buy new ones?

After hearing these remarks from the management, Mourinho became anxious at the meeting!

"Look at Manchester City! They spend a lot of money to buy defenders, and even substitute defenders cost more than half a billion! We actually think that defenders are not worth the price? And if we bought it last year, Maguire wouldn't be so expensive! This year he is in Everyone is watching the performance in the World Cup, it’s worth the price! If you don’t buy it this year, it will be even more expensive next year!”

Even though Mourinho spoke out, the club remained unmoved.

In the end, Manchester United also missed Maguire.

And a year later, when everyone looks back on Mourinho's remarks about Maguire today, it will be a different scene.

Griezmann: Too expensive.

Griezmann is a top star and is adaptable to Manchester United. No one objected to Mourinho's suggestion.

But the biggest problem is that the price is too expensive.

Manchester United officially inquired about the price, and Griezmann also intends to leave the team to play in the Premier League.

But when Atletico Madrid raised the price, Manchester United's management suddenly exploded.

A transfer fee of 100 million?

This is too expensive!

When Mourinho learned that the club was too expensive, 10,000 grass-mud horses flew past him!

Griezmann's 100 million, do you think it's expensive?

Then when Pogba was worth 100 million, why did you pay so happily?

And Griezmann is not old either. He is 27 years old and still a World Cup champion. What happened to million?

In the end, Manchester United was still deterred by the transfer fee.

Their answer to Mourinho was that there are many talented players in the team anyway. Xia Xia and Pogba are superstars. Mata and Herrera are also good. Lingard has also shown full potential. There is no It is necessary to buy another superstar, and he may not be suitable for the team. After all, he has not proven his worth in the Premier League.

In the end, Griezmann missed out on Manchester United.

Dale: That’s too much.

Mourinho likes Dier very much, he is a good player.

The transfer fee is about 4000 million.

But Manchester United is still not happy.

The Glazer family hates dealing with Levi.

That guy was always very stingy, and he was annoyed by the grind of doing business.

After trying several times to no avail, the Manchester United transfer team was unwilling to waste too much time.

They said it directly.

Let alone Dell, even Harry Kane, we don’t bother to talk to them!

A few years later, when someone said this about the transfer team in advance, it became a huge joke.

At this point, none of the four players Mourinho wanted are available... (End of chapter)
