The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

He took a deep breath and continued, "We did not make the decision to put him back on the bench rashly. Since Mason Greenwood returned to the team to participate in training, the club has been closely observing him in all aspects and managing him very strictly. During this period, his training performance did show our coaching staff his positive attitude and practical actions to change and prove himself again. He can be said to have gone all out on the training ground and put all his energy into improving his competitive state. There is a saying in the mysterious oriental country, "No one is without fault." We have no reason not to give children who have made mistakes a chance to make a fresh start."

Another experienced reporter stood up and took over the conversation and asked, "Then Mr. Mourinho, can you tell me more specifically? Say, what specific performance of Mason Greenwood in training makes you think he deserves to be put on the bench? After all, everyone is curious about what kind of changes he has made to make the club give him another chance. "

Mourinho pondered for a moment, as if he was carefully sorting out every detail of Greenwood's training in his mind, and then said in detail: "In terms of technology, Mason Greenwood has always had an outstanding advantage, that is, his shooting skills. Everyone knows that as a striker, excellent shooting skills are crucial. Recently in training, he still maintains a very high shooting accuracy. In various simulated game scenarios, he has successfully scored key goals many times, creating many threatening scoring opportunities for the team. Moreover, his dribbling skills have also been significantly improved. Compared with before, he Now he can break through the defense set by the defenders more flexibly, thus creating better offensive space for himself or his teammates. "

"In terms of cooperation with teammates, his changes are also very significant. He is no longer as arbitrary as before, thinking only of completing offensive actions by himself. Now he has learned to communicate and cooperate with his teammates better, can accurately understand the running intentions of his teammates, and can pass the ball in time to help his teammates complete offensive actions. This improvement in team awareness is very important for our entire team, and it is also a point that our coaching staff attaches great importance to. "

"In addition, we cannot ignore his improvement in physical condition. After this period of systematic training, he can maintain good endurance in high-intensity training courses. , unlike before, a slightly more intensive training will not cause physical exhaustion too early. For a striker, good physical fitness is an important basis for supporting his continued role on the field. "

At this time, a female reporter stood up with some excitement, and her voice trembled slightly and asked: "But, Mr. Mourinho, many fans may still not be able to accept a player with a history of domestic violence returning to the team. They think this is a kind of indulgence of domestic violence. What do you want to say about this?"

Mourinho sighed slightly, with a helpless and sincere look on his face, and said earnestly: "I fully understand the fans' concerns and dissatisfaction. After all, domestic violence is absolutely intolerable. It violates the most basic human ethics and hurts innocent people. But we also hope that everyone can see that Mason Greenwood is working hard to correct his mistakes and make up for the mistakes he has made with his actual actions. "

He paused and continued: "We gave him a chance, not to ignore his past mistakes, but to hope that he can truly transform and become a better person, and at the same time contribute more to the team. Moreover, I emphasize again that at Manchester United, opportunities are fair to everyone. As long as the players can show good condition in training and abide by the various regulations of the team and society, we will give corresponding opportunities according to the actual situation. But this does not mean that we will relax our supervision of him. He must always remember the mistakes he has made and continue to prove that he deserves this trust with better performance. "

Mourinho's detailed explanation made the reporters at the scene fall into contemplation. Although everyone still has different opinions on Mason Greenwood's return to the bench, they also have a deeper understanding of Mourinho and Manchester United's considerations. After a brief silence, the entire press conference gradually returned to a little noise, and the reporters began to whisper and started the next round of questions.

At this time, the reporter of Manchester Evening News stood up and asked loudly: "Mr. Mourinho, we all noticed that Erling·Haaland was placed on the bench this time, which surprised many fans. Can you tell us the reason? "

Mourinho cleared his throat and began to explain with a serious and somewhat helpless look.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, regarding Haaland's substitution, it has indeed been considered from many aspects. First of all, from my point of view, I personally suggest that he rest in this game." Mourinho's eyes revealed a trace of concern, "Everyone knows that Haaland has been performing very well on the field during this period. He is very competitive and goes all out in every game to attack the opponent's defense and score goals for the team. But because of this, his body has been under a considerable load. "

He paused and continued, "The schedule of the previous games is tight, and Haaland is fully committed in almost every game. Whether it is the running distance or the confrontation with the opponent's defensive players on the offensive end, these have caused a lot of consumption on his body. Our coaching staff is worried that if he continues to start the game without interruption, he may become physically fatigued or even injured, which is not what we want to see for him and the entire team. "

At this time, the reporters in the audience were recording carefully, and Mourinho continued to say: "However, this boy, his desire to fight is really amazing. When I communicated with him about the idea of ​​letting him rest in this game, I still remember the look of desire in his eyes. He repeatedly emphasized to me that he felt that he was in good shape and hoped to continue to contribute to the team in this game against Chelsea. "

Mourinho smiled helplessly, "Faced with his strong desire to fight, I was really shaken. After all, it is rare for a player to have such a positive attitude and enthusiasm for the game. So, after careful consideration, I finally decided to let him come on the bench. "

Speaking of this, Mourinho's expression became a little relaxed, "And, I also promised him that I would give him 20 minutes in this game. I believe that in these 20 minutes, with Haaland's strength and his dedication to the game, he will definitely bring different changes to the team, and perhaps create excellent opportunities for the team at critical moments, and even score key goals. "

After Mourinho's explanation, the reporters present laughed kindly.

At this time, a reporter who was a little late stood up and said in a loud voice: "Mr. Mourinho, we all noticed that there was a rather unfamiliar new face on the bench of Manchester United this time, a young player named Dyson Bernard. I believe that many fans, like us, know very little about him. Can you tell us in detail about the specific situation of this player? "

Mourinho heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, a glimmer of relief flashed in his eyes, he nodded gently, and then began to introduce.

"Everyone, Dyson Bernard, born in London in 2000, has dual Jamaican and English nationality, plays as a central defender on the field. Since joining Manchester United's youth training camp last year, he has emerged in the team's echelon system with his own strength and hard work. "Mourinho's voice was steady and powerful, which made the scene quiet instantly, and everyone listened attentively.

"Dyson Bernard is currently mainly playing for our Manchester United U19 echelon, which is one of our important positions for training young players. The Youth FA Cup, everyone should know, is a very meaningful event for our club. It provides an excellent stage for young players to fully display their talents. "Mourinho paused for a moment, as if recalling the wonderful scenes of the game.

"In the recent Youth FA Cup, Dyson Bernard's performance was really outstanding, and it can be said that he shined brightly." Mourinho's tone was full of praise.

"Dyson Bernard is currently the defensive core of Manchester United U19. Although he is young, his serious and responsible spirit on the field is no less than that of veterans. He always spares no effort to devote himself to defensive work, actively and proactively presses, and effectively interferes with the opponent's passing lines and offensive rhythm with his speed and flexibility, making a contribution to the team's overall defense that cannot be ignored.

Mourinho said this, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious. He continued: "It is precisely because of Dyson Bernard's outstanding performance in the recent Youth FA Cup representing Manchester United U19 that he deservedly became my"He is one of the important contributors to our Manchester United U19 team's FA Youth Cup victory. His fighting spirit, superb skills and passion for the game have left a deep impression on our coaching staff."

"So, based on his outstanding performance in the FA Youth Cup, we have carefully considered and decided to include him in the substitute lineup for this game. We believe that although he is still young, he already has certain strength. I hope he can feel the atmosphere of the Premier League in this game. "

Mourinho's detailed introduction made the reporters present nod their heads, and they had a deeper understanding of the young Dyson Bernard and even the Manchester United U19 team. The press conference ended in a relatively harmonious atmosphere. Soon, Chelsea coach Mauricio Sarri also announced the lineup for this game. In addition to Eden Hazard, who has been confirmed to leave the team at the end of the season, Chelsea's regular starting players this season: Jorge Luis Freiro Filho (Jorginho), N'Golo Kante, Antonio Rudiger, David Luiz, Cesar Azpilicueta and others were all arranged to rest.
