Chapter 370: Brotherhood between enemies and friends

Looking at Mourinho smiling in front of him, Xia Xing was suddenly moved.

The two coaches he had experienced before had their own advantages, especially being very good to him.

For example, Pearson was a little reckless, but he was even full of paranoid trust in Xia Xing.

Ranieri had a gentle personality and was even very doting on Xia Xing.

Mourinho in front of him at this moment always reminded Xia Xing of his father.

He was so strict and harsh, but he loved himself very much in his heart.

When he was bullied, such as when he encountered trouble in the domestic youth team, he stood up and asked the football school for an explanation.

Just like Mourinho now.

Although he was protecting Pogba, Xia Xing felt the same way.

In order to protect the players, he did not hesitate to draw the firepower to himself.

And he also paid the price of 20,000 euros and a one-game suspension.

It was not light.

Even so, he still protected his players without hesitation.

When he coached the team before, Xia Xing had heard about Mourinho's characteristics.

Seeing him stand up to protect the players today, I really admire him.

Who doesn't like such a coach?

The national team match day is over and the players are back.

But they don't have time to rest and have to quickly get into the club state.

Even if the FIFA virus is serious, they must overcome it.

Because the next game is very important for Manchester United and extremely important for Mourinho!

Manchester Derby!

On September 10, the red and blue met at Old Trafford.

Manchester City entered the stadium first, and Manchester United arrived five minutes later.

Manchester City players warmed up on the field, and Guardiola was on the side of the field.

Manchester United players ran onto the field, and the sharp-eyed Guardiola immediately found Xia Xing's figure.

"Xia!"

"Huh?"

Xia Xing saw Guardiola.

Logically, he shouldn't have gone over, after all, this was the Manchester Derby, but after all, the two knew each other before, and there was nothing wrong with just saying hello.

Ibrahimovic snorted in Xia Xing's ear: "Xia, I suggest you stay away from that rubbish, I hate him the most!"

Xia Xing had heard about the conflict between Ibrahimovic and Guardiola.

In fact, it is an open secret throughout Europe.

When the two were in Barcelona, ​​due to tactical problems, Guardiola suppressed Ibrahimovic's technical characteristics and guaranteed Messi's ball possession, which made Ibrahimovic very dissatisfied.

But there was no way, that was Messi's Barcelona, ​​not his Barcelona.

So after he broke up with Guardiola, he left soon.

He wanted to prove his worth on other stages.

Every time he met Guardiola, Ibrahimovic could recall those unhappy days.

So when he saw Guardiola calling Xia Xing, Ibrahimovic complained a few words.

But he didn't answer, he just nodded, and then walked slowly towards Guardiola.

"Hello, Coach Guardiola."

"Xia, I'm so sorry that I couldn't dig you this summer."

Guardiola looked regretful and wanted to reach out and pat Xia Xing.

Xia Xing bent down and adjusted his shin guards to avoid Guardiola's intimate gesture.

Guardiola smiled, and he didn't argue.

"Xia, to be honest, if you can come to Manchester City, I am absolutely confident that I can compete for the Champions League title, and at least the success rate can be increased by 30%."

"Thank you for the compliment, but I am a player who came out of Manchester United's youth training. If there is a chance to come back, I still want to come back. The fact that I don't join Manchester City has nothing to do with your personality charm. You are one of the best coaches in the world."

"Haha, you are a young man, you are steady in doing things and you speak so pleasantly. It's great. If there is a chance in the future, I think it's better to..."

"If there is a chance in the future, I think we should have a good fight!"

The two were talking, and a voice came from behind.

Xia Xing looked back and saw that it was Mourinho.

"Coach, I..."

"It's okay, he took the initiative to greet you, you are just being polite, it's okay. And, um, your shin guards do need to be adjusted."

Mourinho bent down, straightened Xia Xing's shin guards, and patted his shoulder with satisfaction: "Go on the court to warm up, you have to play Manchester City later, do a good job."

"No problem!"

Watching Xia Xing run onto the court, Mourinho retracted his smiling gaze and looked at Guardiola with a little more teasing in his eyes.

"Man, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Yeah, Jose, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"You just returned to Manchester City and you're looking for trouble to seduce my top star? It's not appropriate."

"We are just catching up, don't think too much."

"Yeah, that's right, after all, he once defeated you and your team, it's right to reminisce about the past."

"Your mouth is still so poisonous, just like when you were in Barcelona."

"Don't mention the past of Barcelona, ​​I guess Barcelona doesn't want to mention it."

"They are them, we are us, after all, we are still friends, aren't we?"

"Friends, count? It's hard to say, anyway, at least we are acquaintances, not bad acquaintances."

"Haha, okay, that's a good acquaintance. I wish my old acquaintance good coaching in Manchester United."

"Of course, it's especially smooth, including this game."

"Then we'll see each other after the game."

"I will comfort you well then, don't worry."

The two shook hands vigorously and turned to leave.

A big war is about to begin.

Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room was filled with emotion when he saw Guam's second coach having a "friendly conversation" on the side of the pitch.

"During Mourinho's tenure, he and Guardiola were definitely very special rivals.

"When he first coached Chelsea in the Premier League, he had classic confrontations with famous coaches such as Ferguson, Wenger, and Benitez.

“But what fans talk about most is his fight with Guardiola.

“Later I went to Inter Milan, and Mourinho’s team eliminated Barcelona in the Champions League, finally achieving the great feat of the Champions League.

“After taking charge of Real Madrid, Spain’s most popular clash between Guam and Guam instantly became the focus of the world.

"It is no exaggeration to say that the rivalry between these two rivals occupies an important part of their football careers.

"This season, they both returned to the Premier League at the same time, and even came to Manchester at the same time.

"It is no exaggeration to say that the Manchester derby has become the hottest derby in European football.

"These two are really happy friends. They meet each other wherever they go.

"It's really fun."

Alan Shearer finished with emotion, and Carragher next to him continued to chat about the past between the two.

"The vast majority of fans must think that the relationship between the two must be extremely bad.

“But that’s not the case.

"The two of them are very good friends personally, and their relationship is much closer than we imagined.

“Both men have confirmed this publicly.

"Even if we are now competitors,

"But after all, they are brothers who have worked together for three years..."
