The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

On the other side, when the whistle sounded at the end of the match between Manchester United and Southampton, Luo Lie's mind rang with the long-lost system prompt:

[Ding! ~~ Detected that the host has completed the main task of the system: 20 Premier League wins. Three diamond-level treasure chests are awarded. Do you want to open them immediately? ]

"Open." Luo Lie silently said in his heart.

[Ding! ~~ Congratulations to the host for winning the diamond reward and 30,000 bitcoins, which have been deposited into the host's virtual currency account. ]

[Ding! ~~ Congratulations to the host for winning the diamond reward and 150 million pounds in cash, which have been deposited into the host's Swiss bank account. The income was obtained through legal means and has helped the host pay taxes. ]

[Ding! ~~ Congratulations to the host for winning the diamond reward and 200 million pounds in signings. ]

"The system is awesome." Luo Lie consciously gave the system a thumbs up.

[Ding! ~~ Please keep working hard. The system rewards a lot. ]

"Open the system panel!" Luo Lie silently said to the system.

[Host]: Luo Lie

[Club owned]: Manchester United Football Club

[Economic status]: 95,000 Bitcoins, 720 million pounds in cash

[Available recruitment funds]: 450 million pounds

[Skill cards]: Super recruitment cards*2, Youth training scout card*1, Sucker card*1

…

Looking at the information on the system panel, Luo Lie, who was sitting in the club chairman's office on the top floor of Building 1 of the Carrington Training Base, couldn't help but laugh heartily.

After receiving a huge windfall, Luo Lie generously waved his hand and arranged the team's charter flight, hotel, and top security services for the expedition to Munich, Germany. Luo Lie also offered a winning bonus of up to 2 million pounds and a promotion bonus of up to 5 million pounds. That is to say, if Manchester United can defeat Bayern Munich in the second round and advance to the Champions League final, all Manchester United players and coaching staff, information group, and support group staff will share a bonus of 7 million pounds without changing the original bonus.

On May 4, in a jubilant atmosphere throughout the Manchester United team, led by club chairman Rowley, vice chairman Nicky Butt, sports director Solskjaer, Mourinho and other coaching staff, all Manchester United first-team players and staff responsible for logistics support, boarded an Airbus A380 large charter flight to Munich International Airport in Bavaria, Germany.

The club staff who arrived earlier had arranged everything. The hotel where the large team stayed was the five-star Mandarin Oriental Munich, 12 kilometers away from the Allianz Arena. Manchester United was rich and powerful and booked the entire hotel for a week. This top luxury hotel affiliated to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group was also very respectful. Not only did it hire a well-known security company in Berlin to strengthen the security outside the hotel, it also closed the reservation two days in advance to cooperate with the reception and transformation of the Manchester United staff who arrived earlier; and the team's training base was rented from the training ground of Munich's local German low-level league team Munich Wacker Football Club; the team responsible for the airport pick-up was sent by Audi, another global automotive partner of Manchester United.

When Manchester United came out of the VIP channel of Munich Airport, some Manchester United fans who had received the news in advance were waiting to greet them at the exit. Head coach Mourinho, team captain David De Gea, Harry Maguire and all the players smiled and signed autographs for the fans, and cooperated with their request for group photos.

At this time, Luo Lie saw a familiar figure in the crowd. This was a beautiful young girl, wearing a simple white dress, the hem of the dress fluttering in the wind, a pair of white canvas shoes, a beige wide-brimmed hat, and long hair draped over her shoulders, elegant and casual. At this time, the girl was looking at Luo Lie not far away with a playful look on her face.

Luo Lie felt a little embarrassed and a little surprised, and walked quickly towards the person who came. "Xiaoyan, why are you here?"

"Why, you haven't contacted me for so long, and I'm not going to come to you." Liu Xiaoyan said with a slightly aggrieved tone.

"I'm busy recently." Luo Lie scratched his head awkwardly and said softly.

"Hmph!" Liu Xiaoyan had a look on her face that said, "I don't believe you."

"Ahem!" Luo Lie could only use a tactical coughing strategy, and smiled as he pointed at the Manchester United people who were constantly walking out, saying, "Let's go, the main group is going far away, let's talk on the way."

"Hmph." Liu Xiaoyan's mouth corners slightly turned down, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and she looked resentful, but she still followed Luo Lie obediently to the airport exit. Luo Lie looked a little distressed and a little guilty, and took Liu Xiaoyan's suitcase with one hand, and unconsciously hugged the girl with the other hand.

From the airportIn the car to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Munich, Luo Lie hugged Liu Xiaoyan, and Liu Xiaoyan buried her body in Luo Lie's warm embrace. For a while, neither of them spoke.

Outside the car window, the street scenes of Munich kept flashing like movie scenes. The ancient buildings and modern facilities were intertwined, forming the unique charm of this city. However, Luo Lie and Liu Xiaoyan had no intention of appreciating all this.

Liu Xiaoyan's heart was full of fatigue and confusion. She came to Munich this time and struggled for a long time. It was not easy for her to make up her mind to follow her heart. At this moment, this man who left a deep mark in her life just hugged her tightly, making her heart peaceful and rippled.

Luo Lie gently stroked Liu Xiaoyan's hair and felt her temperature. His heart was also full of complex emotions. He felt guilty about the girl in front of him.

"Luo Lie, do you know? I have thought about it many times, I might as well not contact you. But I really... really... can't do it." Liu Xiaoyan murmured.

Luo Lie didn't know what to say, so he just put a little more strength on Liu Xiaoyan's arm.

Liu Xiaoyan burrowed into Luo Lie's arms like a loach. A subtle atmosphere filled the car, and silence was like a heavy yoke. After a long time, she seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Yiyi, it seems that she knows about us."

Luo Lie was shocked, but the playboy characteristics in the original body played a role at the critical moment, and asked with a smile, "Did she come to see you?"

"Yes, about a week before London Fashion Week. She asked me if I was with you?" Liu Xiaoyan deliberately paused, and seeing that Luo Lie had no expression on his face, she continued, "But I told her: We are not. When it comes to feelings, you must follow your heart and don't leave yourself with regrets."

Listening to Liu Xiaoyan's words, Luo Lie's heart had already surged with storms. The change in Zhang Yiyi's attitude at that time, which he had been unable to understand before, now made sense. The fact that he was able to win Yiyi so smoothly in London was also due to the efforts of this girl.

"Xiaoyan, thank you! I..." Luo Lie said with some emotion.

Liu Xiaoyan pressed her finger against Luo Lie's mouth to stop him from continuing, and said faintly, "Who made me like you, a playboy!"

Seeing Liu Xiaoyan's resentful expression, Luo Lie couldn't help but kiss her. He hugged Liu Xiaoyan tightly, and this kiss was full of guilt, gratitude and love. Liu Xiaoyan responded gently, struggling and happy in her heart. Gradually, her body softened, and tears could not help but fall from the corners of her eyes.

Luo Lie felt Liu Xiaoyan's tears, held her hand, and pressed it tightly against his chest. "Xiaoyan, I don't know what will happen in the future? But I know that I like you in my heart."

"I know, I know..." Liu Xiaoyan blocked it with her mouth. This kiss was passionate and affectionate, as if to melt all the struggles and pains at this moment. Luo Lie was stunned at first, then hugged Liu Xiaoyan tightly, responding to her enthusiasm.

They were immersed in this kiss, and time seemed to stand still. Everything around them became blurred, only each other's temperature and breath were so clear and perceptible. After a long time, they slowly separated, their eyes full of love and attachment.

Liu Xiaoyan's cheeks were slightly red, and tears were flashing in her eyes. "In fact, whether it is me or Yiyi, we all think that a young and wealthy bachelor like you will not have only one partner." Her voice was soft and firm.

Luo Lie gently stroked Liu Xiaoyan's face and said awkwardly, "You are still discussing this topic."

"Humph! The relationship between our best friends is much better than yours." Liu Xiaoyan said proudly.

"Yes, yes, yes." Luo Lie nodded and responded mechanically.

"I'll tell you another secret. Xiao Yueyue and Sister Sihan also have a crush on you. They're coming to Munich the day after tomorrow, so you'd better seize the opportunity." Liu Xiaoyan said softly as she lay beside Luo Lie's ear with a sly smile on her face.

"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!" This time it wasn't a tactical cough, but Luo Lie was really frightened by Liu Xiaoyan's sly words. He still believed Zhou Yue, a heartless girl, after all, she had said from time to time before that she wanted to marry him; but Ji Sihan, the two of them had only said a few words in total. When Luo Lie was puzzled, he found that Liu Xiaoyan was looking at her with a sly smile on her face, and then he realized that he was teased by her.

Finally, the convoy stopped at the door of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Munich. At this time, the hotel was like a bright pearl inlaid in the charming city of Munich's old town.

The hotel has an elegant and large exteriorThe hotel is a combination of modern and traditional architectural styles. Luo Lie and Liu Xiaoyan walked into the hotel lobby hand in hand. The high ceiling and gorgeous crystal chandeliers created a luxurious yet warm atmosphere. The marble floor was shiny, and the exquisite decorative ornaments showed elegant taste everywhere.

The two of them were arranged in the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel. The spacious living room was magnificently decorated, with soft sofas, exquisite carpets, and artistic decorative paintings, creating a noble atmosphere. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the beautiful scenery of the city, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. In the bedroom, the comfortable big bed is matched with high-end bedding, giving people the ultimate sleeping experience. The bathroom is a luxurious world, with a marble bathtub and high-end toiletries, making people feel like they are in a palace. The suite also has a separate study and dining room to meet the various needs of guests.

On that day, Manchester United's first team had no training scheduled. The players and staff were allowed to go sightseeing and shopping in the old town of Munich, but were expressly prohibited from going to the red-light district and nightclubs, and had to report back to the hotel before 9 p.m.; Luo Lie and Liu Xiaoyan did not go sightseeing either. After staying in the hotel for most of the day, they attended a welcome dinner hosted by Bayern Munich club chairman Uli Hoeness together with vice chairman Nicky Butt and sports director Solskjaer.
