Star card system.

The training time this year is the same as in previous years, but the situation is different from previous years.

After experiencing the baptism of the World Cup in Russia, Manchester United players have exerted a lot of physical energy.

Many players on the team have participated in the World Cup, and many of them have played at a very late stage.

The top four teams, France, England, Belgium, and Croatia, all three teams have Manchester United players.

Pogba is the absolute main force in the French team and played until the final.

The same goes for Belgian players Lukaku and Fellaini, who also played all seven games.

And the England national team has more members.

Lingard, Ashley Young, Rashford, Smalling, Luke Shaw…

Many players also played all seven games and suffered serious physical exertion.

Therefore, Mourinho did not arrange too many preseason games this time, and they were all home games, and there was no expedition to the Americas or Asia.

This was his tough decision and there was no room for discussion.

The club originally arranged outing business activities, but in the end they couldn't defeat Mourinho.

This incident worsened the relationship between Mourinho and Manchester United management.

Negotiations in the transfer department, contract renewals in the sports department, activities in the commercial department.

Three points of conflict.

Mourinho has many conflicts with the three management departments of Manchester United.

The new season has not even started yet, but there is already turmoil within the Manchester United team.

Although the players urgently need to get back to form, Mourinho also knows that there is no rush.

Compared with state, physical reserves are also very important.

If you want to achieve stable performance in a long season, you must keep your physical fitness gauge full from the beginning of the season.

In a World Cup year, the task is too difficult.

Mourinho carefully adjusted everything from the players' bodies to the players' spirits, striving to quickly adjust to the best condition.

Several warm-up matches were played against teams from the English Championship, Scottish Premiership and Belgian League One, and the matches were not intense.

The players are in average condition.

Needless to say, Xia Xing was in the best condition.

There is no national team competition duty this summer, so I can watch the World Cup comfortably at home.

Even though there are many business activities, it does not affect the energy much, let alone the state.

Especially Xia Xing's "virtual arena" can maintain training intensity at all times.

So even though training has just resumed, Xia Xing is still in the best shape.

According to Carrick: "Even if I let xia play in the Champions League final now, there will be no problem!"

The new captain leads by example and indeed serves as a role model.

The status of other players is uneven.

Most of the players who have not participated in the World Cup are just looking for form, and their physical fitness is still very good.

Some players who participated in the World Cup slowly improved their physical reserves while finding their form.

And for some people, they're in big trouble.

Such as Lukaku.

Before the World Cup, he gained weight for a period of time just to increase his intensity.

This is also the need of the Belgian national team, and he is obliged to do so. We also expected the desired results on the World Cup stage and fulfilled our pillar role well.

But back at the club, his huge frame caused him a lot of trouble.

The game state is poor, the physical reserves are poor, and even the shooting boots can't be found.    This gives Mourinho a headache.

You must know that this season he is the team's only certified center. If he is in poor condition, the team will be in big trouble.

In comparison, Sanchez is much better.

Although he has never reached the state he was in during his Arsenal days, Sanchez's training attitude is fine. As long as he works hard to improve, he will eventually develop in a good direction. It can be clearly seen during this period that his condition has recovered well, and Mourinho is still looking forward to him in the new season.

Rashford is also good. After all, he did not play much time in the World Cup, so his physical fitness will not have a big impact. He is also young and has strong plasticity. As a representative new star of Manchester United's youth training camp, all Manchester United people have high expectations for Rashford, and so does Mourinho. In the new season, Mourinho plans to continue to strengthen his training and help him become the team's next forward superstar.

As for Martial, Mourinho has given up on him.

Being lazy on the training ground made Mourinho very unhappy with this attitude.

If it weren't for the club's repeated requests, Mourinho would have wanted to move him to the reserve team.

Forget it, just put him on the first team as a substitute, what else can he do?

Compared to the forward players, the midfielders and backfielders are generally pretty good.

New aid Fred integrated into the team very quickly. With Xia Xing's help, he quickly established a foothold in the team.

If nothing else, there will be many opportunities for him and Matic to partner up in the new season.

Originally, Mourinho planned to continue to let Pogba play as a defensive midfielder, but Pogba repeatedly objected and raised objections.

He hopes to position himself further forward, play as an attacking midfielder, and assume Rooney's previous responsibilities and position.

He wishes he could be closer to the goal.

After repeated negotiations between agent Raiola and the club management, the management finally intervened in Mourinho's coaching, hoping that he could satisfy Pogba's personal wishes.

Mourinho was convinced.

Pogba has made the club management personally talk to him many times.

You need the number of appearances, you need the core position, you need the position on the court.

For the team coach himself, Mourinho was very unhappy.

He really wants to ask the management - it's just Pogba, why do you want to mobilize so many people?

For the competitive level, it doesn't matter; but for the economic level, it still makes sense for the club to do this.

Pogba's performance in the World Cup is obvious to all, and many people say that he has the ability to compete for the Ballon d'Or, but he just needs more opportunities.

Xia Xing is second to none at Manchester United, but many people at the club's top level are more optimistic about Pogba because of Pogba's French background.

As a World Cup champion and a European, Pogba's future influence will definitely exceed Xia Xing's.

Many of the club's top brass think so.

Xia Xing does not join any national teams, and he has a Chinese face, so he is not particularly popular in Europe.

Moreover, some people in the club still have some prejudice against Xia Xing.

In Europe, Asians are always at the bottom of the discrimination chain.

A busy July has passed, and it’s time for Manchester United’s training results to be verified.

On the evening of August 8, Wembley Stadium ushered in the appetizer before this season’s Premier League dinner.

Community Shield.

As last season's domestic Grand Slam in England, Manchester United's opponent this time was Manchester City, which ranked second in the league.

The Manchester derby is on again.

The two teams met six times last season, with Manchester United beating Manchester City six times and beating their rivals in the same city.

If they fight again this year, fans are still optimistic about Manchester United.

Although Manchester United has limited signings, their team is very strong, especially the wave of young people led by Xia Xing, who have set off a youth storm in Europe.

Manchester United is bound to win this game! (End of chapter)
