The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

Theo Fernandez and Raphael Varane came together, chatting and laughing all the way, talking about the interesting customs and cultures they encountered in different places during the holidays. However, as soon as they entered the training base, their expressions instantly became serious, as if they were enveloped by an invisible sense of mission. Theo Fernandez looked at Raphael Varane and said, "The opponents must have become stronger this season. We must have a better understanding of the defense line and pay attention to every detail in defense." Raphael Varane agreed and responded, "Yes, we need to practice more cooperation and take care of each other. We must not leave any opportunities for the opponent."

Harry Maguire walked over with his iconic stride. His tall figure was particularly conspicuous in the crowd. He shouted from a distance: "Hey, guys, the new season depends on our defense line. We must perform well today and give everyone a good start." Ruben Dias, Ashraf Hakimi, Pepe, Diogo Dalot, Josh Gvardiol, Lu Kershaw, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and other defenders also arrived one after another. Everyone clapped and hugged each other. The locker room was suddenly filled with laughter. The warm atmosphere was full of longing and expectation for the new season.

Soon after, the midfielders arrived in high spirits.

As soon as Marco Verratti got off the car, he was surrounded by several enthusiastic young fans. The young fans excitedly shouted his name, holding notebooks and pens, looking at him expectantly, wanting his autograph. Marco Verratti had a gentle smile on his face, patiently met the requests of every young fan, and then quickened his pace towards the data center. He was still thinking about discussing the changes in midfield organization tactics for the new season with the coach later.

Dani Olmo, Rodrigo Hernandez, Nemanja Matic, Nico Williams, Juan Mata, Scott McTominay, Declan Rice, Vitinia Ferreira and other midfielders with different styles were discussing the wonderful Champions League games they watched during the holidays and exchanging their insights on the tactical play of different teams; some were sharing their unique tips for staying in shape, such as dietary precautions, some simple daily training methods, etc. The atmosphere in the entire midfield area was both relaxed and full of seriousness in studying and exploring football skills.

Several other forwards came to the training base in high spirits.

Cody Gakpo, Edinson Cavani, Erling Haaland, Jamal Musiala, Mason Greenwood, Adam Hlozek, Michael Olise and other forwards were all ready to go, as if they had already seen the passionate scenes of themselves killing and conquering the city on the court in the new season. Mason Greenwood excitedly said to his teammates: "We have to adjust to the best condition today, let the coach see how powerful our forward line is, and we have to score more beautiful goals in the new season to make the fans happy." Edinson Cavani smiled and responded: "Haha, that's a must, we have to strive for every shot to be threatening and make the opponent's goalkeepers tremble with fear."

In addition to the first-team players, there are also some youth players who have been selected by head coach Mourinho to train with the first team. They came here with excitement and a little nervousness.

Reece Bennett looked at the famous stars around him, and he was excited and a little uneasy. He secretly cheered himself up and told himself that this was a rare learning opportunity, and he must perform well and not be stage fright. Alvaro Fernandez Carreras, Charlie Wellens, Dyson Bernard and other youth players also stepped into the training ground carrying their football dreams with their beautiful aspirations.

As the youngest member, Ethan Whitley looked around curiously, looking at those familiar yet unfamiliar scenes, hoping to learn more practical skills from this training and become an outstanding player like his idols as soon as possible. Kobe Menou, Toby Collier, Daniel Gore, Florian Wirtz and other youth training midfielders and attacking midfielders are also eager to try, and can't wait to show their skills in training and prove their potential.

After all the players arrived, they followed the instructions of the data center staff and entered the data center in an orderly manner to receive physical monitoring. There, Giovanni Serra and other staff members were busy operating the equipment and conducting detailed tests for each player. From body fat percentage, muscle content, to cardiopulmonary function, joint flexibility and other indicators, they were all checked one by one.Recorded; the players also take this link very seriously, after all, it is an important basis for subsequent training arrangements and whether they can maintain a good state in the new season.

The physical examination went very smoothly, and the data was quickly presented to the terminals of head coach Mourinho and several physical trainers through the internal system. Most of the players' indicators were within the normal range, and those who returned to the team for training early had excellent indicators; but some players had problems with unqualified body fat and overweight, among which Lu Kershaw and Marcus Rashford had the most serious problems and received the double rewards of "VIP Recipe" and "SVIP Intensive Training Plan". Before the indicators are met, they will be strictly controlled in diet, including prohibiting the consumption of greasy food after training, reducing the intake of juice, and reducing the use of cooking oil; they will also be taken care of by the coaching staff. After the daily training is completed, the training intensity and frequency will be increased to consume excess fat and weight.

After all the players completed the physical monitoring, they quickly came to the locker room and changed into brand new training equipment. Then, under the leadership of the two captains Harry Maguire and David De Gea, they walked to the first-team training ground in an orderly manner, ready to start the first training session of the 2019-2020 season.

At this time, many members of the coaching staff had already been waiting at the training ground.

I saw the head coach Mourinho standing at the side of the training ground, his hands folded across his chest, his eyes deep and sharp, as if he wanted to engrave every inch of the training ground into his heart, and he was already thinking about the training plan for today and the entire new season. Assistant coach Scholes stood beside him, and the two occasionally whispered a few words, and sometimes looked at the entrance, waiting for the players to arrive one after another.

Fitness coach Rui Faria was busy in the physical training area, carefully checking various equipment to ensure that they were all in the best condition. The focused look was as if these equipment were weapons about to go out, and there was no room for any mistakes. Physical trainer Carlos Larin was taking notes, ready to adjust the intensity of training at any time according to the players' physical conditions.

Goalkeeper coaches Silvino Rulo and Emilio Alves gathered together to discuss the key points of goalkeeper training, after all, goalkeepers play a vital role in the team's defense system.

Giovanni Serra, head of the data analysis center, has turned on his equipment to collect various data from the day's training in preparation for subsequent analysis.

Not long after, the players began to show up one after another. After all the players arrived, head coach Mourinho clapped his hands, and all the players quickly formed a circle, quieted down, and focused their eyes on the head coach. Mourinho glanced at each player and said firmly: "Boys, the new season is just around the corner, and we are standing on the same starting line. Past achievements and failures are all in the past. At this moment, we are a team, a big family with a common goal. Manchester United's glory needs each of us to defend and strive for it. In training, I hope to see everyone help and encourage each other, and integrate team spirit into every action and every cooperation. Whether it is an experienced veteran or a rookie, we are all part of Manchester United, and the power of the team is our magic weapon to victory."

Mourinho paused for a moment, and then continued: "Football has never been a one-man sport. Every attack requires the forward to run sharply, the midfield to pass accurately, and the defender to defend steadily; every defense also requires everyone to work together and fill in each other's positions. Today's training is the beginning of our team spirit. Everyone should feel the presence of teammates and understand the meaning of teamwork."

After the speech, the warm-up session began.

Physical coach Rui Faria led everyone in the regular warm-up. First, the players lined up in a neat queue and ran slowly around the training ground. David De Gea maintained a steady pace, paying attention to the status of his teammates behind him while running, and whispered a few words of reminder when he saw that some young players were out of step. Marcus Rashford livened up the atmosphere in the team, but he also took care of the young players around him and pulled them to keep up with the pace. Alejandro Ganacho tried hard to follow the main group, and occasionally fell behind a little. The old players around him would slow down and encourage him, and the whole team was full of an atmosphere of mutual help.

After the jog, there was dynamic stretching. Coach Rui Faria demonstrated the movements, and the players imitated them seriously. After Raphael Varane finished his own stretching, he took the initiative to help the young defender around him correct his posture and patiently explained the key points of each movement. Nemanja Matic sharedWhile teaching stretching tips, they also encouraged everyone to share their feelings during stretching so that they can relax better and prepare for subsequent training.

After completing these basic warm-up exercises, the warm-up session ushered in the ball warm-up part.

Each player got a football and started a simple jogging with the ball, making sure that the ball was always under their control while continuing to jog around the training ground. Nemanja Matic was like a ball-control master. The ball was firmly under his feet, as if it had merged with his feet. He walked lightly and could communicate with his teammates while jogging with the ball. His relaxed look was amazing. Marco Verratti was not to be outdone. His dribbling was full of skills. By constantly changing the rhythm of his feet, he made the ball bounce around him flexibly, like performing a wonderful art show. Alejandro Ganaccio brought his agility to full play in this segment. He shuttled through the crowd with the ball, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, cleverly avoiding other players. Although the ball was occasionally out of control, he was always able to quickly regain control of it. His unyielding spirit made him more and more motivated as he practiced.
