The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

Just when the outside world was speculating who would become the new Manchester United No.7, Rowley, who was far away in the eastern country, received a long-distance call from Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The caller was Daniel Kramer, CEO of Holstein Kiel Football Club.

"Hello, Mr. Rowley, I hope I didn't bother you." Daniel Kramer's voice was a little anxious and a little tired.

"Hello, Mr. Kramer, it's okay, what do you want?" Rowley asked.

"Mr. Rowley, you also know that last season our Holstein Kiel did not perform well in the German Second Division and lost the opportunity to upgrade again, which made the club very disappointed. Our management really couldn't stand it anymore and had to fire the former head coach Andre Schubert." Daniel Kramer sighed, his tone full of helplessness.

"I already know this, what about the new coach?" Rowley asked.

"It's like this. After more than a month of searching, the club management has not found a suitable replacement. So, we want to let Ole Werner, the head coach of the club's reserve team, take over the position of head coach of the first team." Daniel Kramer said.

"Ole Werner?" Luo Lie frowned slightly, and the information about this young coach emerged in his mind. In fact, Luo Lie had some impression of this Ole Werner in his previous life. This is due to his youth. Luo Lie remembered that in his previous life, he temporarily took over the position of head coach of Holstein Kiel's first team in September this year, breaking the record set by Julian Nagelsmann, the new coach of the Bundesliga Leipzig, and became the youngest head coach in the German third-level professional league. There was a special report in the domestic sports news at that time. "

"Yes, it's him. He has great potential. Although he is young, his tactical literacy and coaching ability are very good. "Daniel Kramer said hurriedly, hoping to convince Luo Lie.

"I know he has potential, but Mr. Kramer, you also know the importance of the head coach position to the team. I also learned that in his previous life... Oh, nothing, I meant that I had been following him for a while, and he performed well, but he seemed a little too young. "Rolie said with concern. In fact, what Rolie really worried about was not his youth, but that Ole Werner seemed to have bad luck. Thanks to the reports of the domestic media at that time, Rolie had paid special attention to him in his previous life. This person was still very capable, but the Holstein Kiel under his leadership seemed to be cursed. In the next two seasons, they fell in the promotion and relegation play-offs, and they were always a breath away from the Bundesliga. The original Rolie was a complete atheist, and he regarded this kind of metaphysical things as fun, but since his soul traveled, he had to pay attention to this metaphysical thing, for example: British star Harry Kane, Mourinho and Solskjaer have mentioned it several times, and Rolie also recognized his strong strength as the first center forward at the time, but he would not buy it even if he was beaten to death; there was no other reason, only respect for metaphysics.

Daniel Kramer was silent for a while, and then said: "Mr. Rolie, I understand your concerns. But the current situation is that we have no better choice. Moreover, Werner's coaching achievements in the reserve team are obvious to all. He is familiar with the team's tactical style and player characteristics. We can give him a chance, and we can also continue to look for a more suitable long-term head coach in the process. "

Rolie fell into deep thought. He knew that what Daniel Kramer said made sense. The team is now in a turbulent period. If the head coach cannot be determined as soon as possible, it will have a great impact on the preparations for the new season. Luo Lie tapped the table lightly on the phone, thinking about the possible consequences of this decision. "Mr. Kramer, I can't give you an answer to this matter immediately. I need to think about it. "

"Okay, Mr. Luo Lie, I understand. I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible. We are in a hurry and the preparations for the new season can't be delayed any longer." Daniel Kramer said.

"Well, I will call you back in a day." Luo Lie said.

"Okay, I look forward to your reply. Goodbye, Mr. Luo Lie. "Daniel Kramer hung up the phone.

Rolie put down the phone, walked to the window and looked into the distance. He kept weighing the pros and cons in his mind, and various possibilities intertwined in his heart. He knew that no matter what decision he made, it would affect the future direction of the team. Suddenly, he seemed to have a new idea in his mind.

Then, Rolie called Mourinho. After the phone rang a few times, it was picked up. MourinhoA recognizable voice came: "Hi, Luo Lie, my chairman, you should still be in the Eastern country, I didn't expect you to have time to call me today?"

"Jose, I have a problem." Luo Lie's tone was a little solemn, "Holstein Kiel Football Club does not have a head coach now, and is currently considering candidates."

"Oh? Holstein Kiel? The club in the German Bundesliga that you acquired last year?! But, didn't the club management find the right person?" Mourinho asked curiously.

"The club's management wants to let the reserve team head coach Ole Werner take over temporarily, but I am a little hesitant. He is very young and has potential, but his previous experience makes me unsure whether he can do it." Luo Lie said in detail.

Mourinho was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then he slowly said: "Young coaches are motivated, but experience is sometimes a problem. In this critical period, a stable and capable coach is crucial to the team."

"Yes, so I want to hear your opinion. You have been in football for so many years and have seen a lot. You must have the right person to recommend." Rowley said with a hint of expectation.

Mourinho was silent again, as if searching for the right person in his mind. After a while, he said: "Mr. Chairman, do you have your eyes on Ruud? Or Paul?" Mourinho's tone was full of helplessness.

"Hahahaha, Jose, I know you understand me. They have been learning with you for a year, and it's time to let them go out and practice. Ruud and Paul, you are with them day and night, so I want to hear your opinion." Rowley said in detail.

Mourinho was silent when he heard this. The figures of Van Nistelrooy and Scholes emerged in his mind. Both of them are his right-hand men and his favorite partners. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "This is a difficult choice. Both of them are rare talents."

"I know, that's why I asked you. They both have unique value, but I have to make a decision." Rowley said eagerly.

Mourinho took a deep breath, as if he had made a great sacrifice: "If you have to choose, I recommend Ruud." His face was full of reluctance, as if he was going to give away his cherished treasure.

"Jose, I can feel your reluctance across the network. Can you tell me why it is Ruud?" Rowley asked.

"Ruud, he has extraordinary ability. You know, he used to be a great striker. The sense of goal and the grasp of offensive opportunities are innate and honed in countless games. As a coach, he can deeply convey this understanding of offense to the players." Mourinho said, his eyes flashing with recognition of Van Nistelrooy's ability.

"But Paul is not bad either. His midfield organization ability is unique." Rowley put forward his own point of view.

"Yes, Paul is a midfield master. But Ruud's advantage is that he can bring a more direct offensive concept to the team. He can make the forwards more aware of how to find space in the penalty area and how to complete the fatal blow in a fleeting opportunity. This ability is a huge improvement in a team's offensive power." Mourinho explained.

"What about getting along with the players? The head coach must get along with the players." Rowley continued to ask.

"Ruud does a good job in this regard. He is a person with leadership qualities and the players respect him. He was used to taking responsibilities when he was a player, and now as a coach, he can also motivate the players well. His enthusiasm and positive attitude can infect the entire team and bring everyone together. And he is very patient, whether it is young players or veterans, he can guide them equally." Mourinho said, but his tone was still reluctant.

"What about tactical arrangements? This is crucial for the head coach." Rowley asked.

"Ruud has his own tactical system. He focuses on offensive efficiency, while not neglecting defense. He will formulate tactics based on the characteristics of the players, so that each player can play the greatest role in the system. He is good at observing opponents and can quickly adjust tactics according to the actual situation during the game, which is very rare.

And there is a most critical point: Ruud played for the Bundesliga team Hamburg for one and a half seasons, has his own connections in German football, and has played in multiple leagues such as the Eredivisie, Premier League, Bundesliga, and La Liga, and can better adapt to different football styles." Mourinho felt that Van Nistelrooy was a suitable candidate, but he still had a hard time letting go of losing such an assistant.

"I understand, Jose, your advice is very helpful to me. Thank you very much, I know this is not easy for you. "Rolie said gratefully.

"I hope Ruud can shine in the new position, he deserves this opportunity, but I will miss him by my side. "Mourinho said with emotion.

After Rolie finished talking with Mourinho, he had more expectations for the possibility of Van Nistelrooy's coaching. Without any hesitation, he immediately called Van Nistelrooy again.

The call was connected, and Van Nistelrooy's gentle voice came: "Hello, Mr. Chairman."

"Ruud, where are you on vacation now? I hope I didn't disturb you." Rolie said with a smile.

"No, no, Mr. Chairman. I'm in my hometown, Oss, North Brabant, the Netherlands." Van Nistelrooy was a little surprised and said hurriedly.

"Ruud, I called this time because I have an important invitation to tell you. You should know that I bought several clubs in other leagues last year, one of which is Holstein Kiel in the German second division, which is currently lacking a head coach. Are you interested?" Luo Lie said straight to the point.
