After listening to George Adrian's arrangements for the Oriental Great Country, Luo Lie showed a satisfied expression on his face. He nodded slightly and said, "First of all, I want to express my appreciation and gratitude to the entire business department for their efforts in preparing for the Summer Oriental Tour. I just heard the entire arrangement and there are indeed many noteworthy points. The overall planning is very detailed and many factors are fully considered. This makes me very satisfied."

At this point, Luo Lie paused for a moment, his expression became serious, and he continued, "However, we must also be clear that the Summer Oriental Tour is very important for the team to prepare for the next season. Therefore, normal training is the top priority and there must be no slackness or delay. This time, commercial activities are important. It can bring many business opportunities and benefits to the club and further enhance our club's international reputation and influence. But the premise of all this is that our team must maintain good Good competitive state. "

He stood up, paced a few steps, and then said: "So, when the business department promotes the relevant matters of the Oriental Great Power Tour in the future, it must try its best to coordinate the time arrangements of all aspects. For example, the number and duration of those commercial activities must be carefully planned to minimize the impact on the team's training. It is necessary to ensure that the players have enough time for daily physical training, tactical running-in, etc., and the players should not be exhausted by frequent commercial activities, which will affect the performance of the next season. The business department should communicate more with Jose's coaching team. Everyone should take a long-term view. Only when the team's performance is good can our club develop better. I hope everyone can keep this in mind at all times. "

"Understood, boss." Ed Woodward, John Annabell, George Adrian and others said.

"Okay, let's talk about the transfer next. "Roller paused,Turning to head coach Mourinho, he said, "Jose, let's talk about the coaching staff's suggestions for summer transfers first."

Mourinho cleared his throat, turned on the tablet in front of him, and said, "Everyone, please look at the big screen." At this time, the big screen showed the positions and overall performance of all players in Manchester United's first team this season.

"Let me start with the goalkeeper position. The No. 1 goalkeeper is our captain David De Gea. His strength is unquestionable. He has made great achievements on Manchester United's goal line for so many years. He has a very fast reaction speed and has made many amazing world-class saves, which has helped the team win many key games.

The No. 2 goalkeeper Sergio Romero has a strong body, excellent skills and excellent reaction ability. He can often make wonderful saves. His performance in several appearances this season is also very good. From the initial plan of the coaching staff, we planned to keep him, but just the day before yesterday, Sergio Romero himself came to me and hoped to get as many season opportunities as possible next season to compete for a place in the Argentine national team; the coaching staff's opinion, in principle, does not prevent his transfer.

The No. 3 goalkeeper Lee Grant, as an experienced veteran, can also play a role in some specific occasions. I talked to him a few days ago. I hope he will participate in UEFA coach training next season. At the same time, I have already talked to Silvino Rulo, Emilio Alves has already said hello, and they all like this little apprentice very much.

For the goalkeeper position, if Sergio Romero transfers away, then I plan to transfer U23 player Dean Henderson to the first team. This young youth player has excellent physical fitness, outstanding save ability, and an amazing record in penalty saves. What's more, this young man is very confident. He is confident that he can challenge David De Gea's first goalkeeper position one day in the future; this confidence not only helps him perform well in the game, but also allows him to remain calm and focused when facing challenges.

In addition, there is U21 Matej Koval, a youth player from the Czech Republic, and I also plan to transfer him to the first team for training. ‌"Speaking of this, Mourinho's deep eyes instantly bloomed with pride, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if telling the unlimited potential of these young people. That look is full of confidence and pride that they can bring glory to the team in the future.

“Then let’s look at the back line: Theo Fernandes, Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire, Ruben Dias, Ashraf Hakimi, Kepler Laveran Lima Ferreira (Pepe), Diogo Dalot, Ferland Mendy, Josh Gvardiol, Lu Kershaw, Victor Lindelof. Regardless of the age structure or the depth of the lineup, the coaching staff is very satisfied with the team’s back line personnel configuration. If there is no major injury wave and transfer situation, In this case, the back line does not need to make any major adjustments. "Mourinho paused, and then said, "I heard that the transfer department has received many transfer offers for players such as Theo Fernandez, Ruben Dias, and Ashraf Hakimi. I want to emphasize that these people are not for sale! "

At this time, Mourinho raised his voice and emphasized seriously that he must not let his excellent players be snatched away. He looked like he was facing a great enemy, as if there was an opponent eyeing him at this moment. His appearance instantly caused the other players attending the meeting to burst into laughter.

"Let's talk about the midfield. In the second half of the season, I used the combination of Dani Olmo + Marco Verratti + Rodrigo Hernandez more often. Among them, Dani Olmo has good shooting ability and passing vision. He can break through to score goals and pass the ball. He is the explosive point of our midfield; Marco Verratti is a technically superb midfielder. He has his own set of midfield organization and dispatch, and can control the rhythm of the game well; Rodrigo Hernandez also performed well in the defensive midfield position. He can effectively intercept the opponent's attack and win the ball. After the ball is back, the ball can be properly transferred out. The coaching staff is actually quite satisfied with this combination.

Other players:

Scott McTominay, his vitality and fighting spirit in the midfield are worthy of recognition. When the team is unable to open the situation or the score is behind, McTominay's mental attributes are very important; Nemanja Matic, an experienced veteran, his stabilizing role in the midfield cannot be ignored, and he can play a good role in mentoring young players. Jesse Lingard, his running position is flexible, and he can occasionally create some surprises in the offense. Juan Mata,Although he is getting older, his passing wisdom is still there, and he can still contribute wonderful passes in some key games.

Aurelian Chuameni, young and aggressive, is very active in the midfield and has a certain passing ability. Nico Williams, he is also growing in the midfield and has his own characteristics. Jude Bellingham, this is a talented teenager, his comprehensiveness is amazing, whether it is offense or defense, he can play an important role in the midfield.

Bruno Fernandes, his passing creativity, long-range shooting ability and the role of connecting in the offensive third zone are very outstanding, but this player has no problem with technology, but there are certain hidden dangers in his mental attributes. If there are other teams offering, as long as the price is reasonable, the coaching staff is open to it. "

Mourinho said, while simply drawing some tactical diagrams on the tablet in his hand, so that everyone can understand more intuitively.

"But we also have a lot of problems in the midfield.

First, in the defensive midfielder position, although we have players such as Rodrigo Hernandez and Nemanja Matic, Nemanja Matic is old after all, and Aureliano Tsoumeni has made significant progress in the past season, but he still lacks game experience; the coaching staff hopes to introduce a defensive midfielder who is in his prime, relatively experienced and strong to take over, to ensure that the defensive hardness of the midfield will not decline with the aging of Nemanja Matic. This newly introduced defensive midfielder must have excellent interception ability, good physical fitness and the ability to pass the ball reasonably under high pressure.

Secondly, in terms of offensive midfield, although we have core players such as Marco Verratti, we also need a player who can form a good cooperation with him and share his offensive pressure. When Marco Verratti is closely guarded by the opponent or is in poor condition, we need another midfielder who can take on the offensive responsibility. This player must have excellent passing creativity and the ability to create threats at the front of the penalty area. So in the midfield position, we need to introduce at least two different types of players to improve our midfield configuration. "
