Star Card System

January 1, 2017.

The New Year bells rang.

Xia Xing's home welcomed many guests tonight.

His agent Mendes, head coach Mourinho and his wife Mathilde.

In addition to Xia Xing, Ariana and Li De, the six of them sat around the table, enjoying themselves.

As early as a week ago, Xia Xing invited Mourinho and Mendes to come to his home to celebrate the New Year.

The two naturally agreed.

Mendes also adjusted his time and put several recent tasks in Manchester for this dinner.

And Mourinho and his wife Mathilde came to the banquet happily.

Looking at the table full of Chinese feasts, several guests feasted.

Facing Xia Xing, Mendes and Mourinho were not shy, while Mathilde was much gentler and more introverted.

Since entering the house, Mathilde has been chatting with Alyona after greeting Xia Xing, Mendes and Li De.

Xia Xing knows a lot about Mathilde and Mourinho's story.

Mourinho's love story can be found everywhere on the Internet, and Mendes has also talked to him about some details.

In 1980, Mathilde, 14, met Mourinho.

They were still children at that time, but they had already had a secret crush on each other.

After graduating from the Sports Education Department of the Technical University of Lisbon, Mourinho started his football coaching career.

Mathilde also graduated from the Catholic University of Lisbon with a degree in philosophy, and then followed Mourinho around the world.

When Mourinho was an assistant coach for Robertson, Mathilde became friends with Robertson's wife Elsie, and the two families often had dinner together.

In their world of two, watching movies and reading novels occupied most of their time.

These are their favorites.

During Mourinho's low period, Mathilde comforted this special man all the time, supported his career, soothed his emotions, and relieved his pressure.

In the summer of 2004, Mourinho became the head coach of Chelsea, and the two moved to London.

In 2005, Mourinho was ridiculed by the fashion industry, saying that he always wore a gray coat and had no taste.

Mourinho responded that this was an Armani coat, a birthday gift from my wife.

The power of this love made Mourinho's image in the fashion industry take a 180-degree turn.

That year, the British fashion magazine "G·Q" rated him as the second most fashionable man in the UK.

Later, Mourinho auctioned the "battle shirt" to fund children's charity projects.

This is also Mathilde's career that she has been running for many years. She has been traveling to various poor and backward corners of the world, doing her best to deliver a warm meal to the hungry groups living in the shadow of the new world.

A special coach, a warm angel.

Such a couple has an enviable beauty.

After the dinner, Mathilde and Aleona sat on the sofa and chatted about some topics, and occasionally looked at Mourinho, Mendes and Xia Xing at the table. Aleona blushed slightly.

Li De had some urgent matters of network security to deal with, so he went back to the house, leaving the three men drinking red wine at the table.

As a player, Xia Xing also had a rare drink.

The three chatted leisurely, from weather to food, and finally returned to the topic of football.

Mendes asked Mourinho curiously: "Jose, how are you doing recently? Why has the team not won four games?"

Mourinho shrugged: "Bad luck, that's all."

Mendez curled his lips: "Tsk, you fool others, do you want to fool me?"

Mourinho leaned back in his chair, indifferent: "Just bad luck."

"Okay, okay," Mendes didn't ask Mourinho anymore, and asked Xia Xing directly, "Xia, why are you in a bit of a state of ups and downs recently?"

Xia Xing thought for a while: "Bad luck, that's all."

Mendes: "Do you two want to piss me off to death? ? "

Mourinho smiled: "You are worthy of being my disciple."

Mendes was too lazy to pay attention to him: "Xia, why have you rarely participated in the attack recently? Is there something wrong?"

Before Xia Xing replied, Mourinho interrupted: "This is my arrangement."

Mendes was stunned: "Why?"

Mourinho answered simply: "In order to let Xia have a good rest and adjust his condition."

Mendes looked at Xia Xing: "Really?"

Xia Xing thought about it: "Right."

Mendes: "This is definitely not! Jose, what's wrong with you?"

Mourinho shrugged and stopped talking.

During this period, his tactical arrangements must not be hidden from Mendes.

In fact, Mendes asked this question today, and he pretended to be confused.

However, since this matter was publicly asked, he had to answer it publicly.

Especially facing Xia Xing.

For three consecutive games, Xia Xing played defensive organization and assisted Pogba.

Mourinho thought that Xia Xing would talk to him after playing one or two games, but Xia Xing did not.

He worked steadily as a defensive midfielder in the midfield and was meticulous.

This made Mourinho a little embarrassed.

He has talent, ability, character, and he obeys his tactical arrangements.

What kind of a god player is this?

Now facing Mendes' question, Mourinho can only make up a lie.

"After winning the Ballon d'Or, Xia was not in good shape in his first game back.

"So I was worried that the team would be too affected by Xia's condition.

"Xia is the core of Manchester United's organization. His upper limit can be the upper limit of the team, which is good.

"But if he is not in good shape, the whole team can't play well, then it will be troublesome.

"So I tried to give Pogba more opportunities when Xia was not in good shape,

"Let Manchester United present a real dual-core system,

"And even if Xia recovered later, he would inevitably be targeted by the opponent,

"At that time, the ball can be handed over to Pogba and let him organize,

"So the team will not fall into a passive position,

"That's my idea.

"But after trying a few games, I found that it didn't work at all.

"Xia is Xia, no one can replace him,

"Pogba is very good, can be an excellent attacker and passer,

"But he can't be the core of the organization. He still lacks a big picture and needs more experience,

"So in the next game, Xia is still the core of the team's organization,

"Manchester United is about to get back on track. "

After listening to Mourinho's words, Mendes finally understood: "Oh, so that's the case, that's not bad. In other words, Xia will be able to become the core of Manchester United's organization again in the next game?"

"Of course!"

Mourinho was in high spirits. He looked at Xia Xing with his eyes full of expectations.

"Xia, the team's four-game losing streak must end!

"In the next round of the Premier League, I want you to return to the core position of the organization!

"In the next game, explode for them to see!"
