Chapter 541: Keep the last glimmer of hope

The next morning, Ibrahimovic's surgery went well.

Mourinho finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Today Woodward came to the hospital specifically to visit Ibrahimovic, which surprised the Swede.

I didn’t expect the club to care about me.

But he didn't know that Woodward's main target today was not him.

"Recuperate well. We are all waiting for you to come back and destroy the city for the team. You can rest, we will not disturb you."

With a smile on his face, Woodward took Mourinho out of the ward.

"What's up?"

"Jose, why are you so listless? There will be a new striker soon."

"Is there any new progress in just one night?"

"Of course! After hanging up the phone with you yesterday, I had a phone call with Sanchez's agent Felicevic."

"You're pretty quick."

"After all, we have always been in contact."

"How did he say?"

"He told me that Sanchez will leave Arsenal this winter!"

"So sure?"

"Of course, this is a good thing for the players and the club, and Arsenal don't want to see players leave the team with zero worth."

"Then what?"

"Many teams are now contacting him, the more reliable ones include Manchester City, Liverpool and us."

"Liverpool also got involved?"

"Rumors say that Coutinho will most likely leave the team this winter, and Klopp wants to replace him with Sanchez."

"If we have three teams competing, then the bidding process must not be easy, right?"

"Arsenal Club has already made a showdown with him. For 35 million euros, Sanchez can be taken away."

"We can afford this price, but Manchester City and Liverpool will also have no problem."

"You are right, they can afford this price. So which team Sanchez joins in the end, the key issue is the salary requirements."

Mourinho had a headache after hearing Woodward's words.

I knew there would be such trouble.

"Salary requirement? He previously proposed a weekly salary of 400,000 pounds with Arsenal. This is very troublesome."

"For Manchester City and Liverpool, they are certainly in trouble. I heard friends from Manchester City tell me privately that Guardiola once publicly stated that Sanchez can only want one, championship or money. His attitude is very determined."

"Well, that seems like that guy's style."

"Klopp is willing, but Liverpool FC will not easily increase the club's salary. After all, they don't have the money like us."

"So? Are you prepared to meet his salary requirements?"

"Of course! For such a top star, although this salary is high, we can still accept it!"

"Are you sure you can accept it?"

"Well...it's actually a bit unacceptable, but if you think about it, 35 million euros bought a world-class striker. This price is quite cheap. Just think of it as converting the transfer fee into a salary. This way you can understand and balance your mind. too much."

"But our players don't think about it like this. They also play for the club, so why is his salary so high? This will bring trouble to the club."

"At this stage, the club's victory and championship are the most important! As for the locker room problem, take your time and it will be solved. If you can win the championship, then there will be no problem with an overall salary increase. If you can't win the championship, who will You don’t have the nerve to ask for a salary increase, don’t you think so?”

"hehe."

"If you don't have any objection, just do it and wait for my good news!"

The excited Woodward turned and left, leaving Mourinho in a daze behind him for a long time.

He was unhappy with the transfer, but there was nothing he could do.

He wanted a striker, and the club had helped him find someone, so how could he have the nerve to object so strongly?

Sandoko grasped this point and made the straightforward Mourinho embarrassed to refuse forcefully.

But Mourinho knows very well that as long as Sanchez is bought with a high salary, there will be trouble sooner or later.

When the club is peaceful, nothing is a problem, but as long as it encounters some difficulties, these hidden dangers will turn into huge disturbances.

It's hard to say whether I can control the situation by then.

The outside world is talking about "Mu's third year". It seems that my third year at Manchester United is not going to be easy either...

Regarding the transfer of Sanchez, Mourinho simply ignored it.

He can't control it either.

Now that the team is facing a dense competition, he must go all out to cope with the league and Champions League.

On November 19th, Manchester United swept Newcastle in the Premier League, and on November 22nd, the Old Trafford Stadium ushered in another game.

In the fifth round of the Champions League, Manchester United faced the challenge of Dortmund at home.

In the last game, Manchester United sent out rotation and substitute players, and all the main players played in this game.

The FIFA virus has gradually subsided, and this game can be played in a big way.

Four group matches have been played so far. Manchester United has 10 points, Besiktas has 6 points, Dortmund has 4 points, and Sporting CP has 0 points.

Judging from the current situation, Manchester United is basically stable.

But despite this, Mourinho still asked everyone to pay attention to this game.

"Go all out to win Dortmund and get first place in the group ahead of schedule!"

This is Mourinho's request.

Next, Manchester United will gather in the field, and the rotation lineup is not particularly strong.

Therefore, if you get the first place in the group, you can get a weak opponent in the next quarter-finals, and the intensive schedule will make it easier to play.

This is Mourinho's idea.

However, compared with Manchester United, Dortmund's desire to win is obviously stronger today.

Now they are two points behind Besiktas. If they can't win this game, then they will most likely say goodbye to the Champions League.

Because Besiktas will play Sporting CP tomorrow, and they will definitely get three points.

So today, Dortmund must win!

Facing Manchester United, which is playing with all its main players, Dortmund is sending all its main players!

The Dutch coach Bosz is under great pressure.

Recently, his performance in the league has not been good, and he is getting further and further away from the top Bayern.

And he is about to be eliminated in the Champions League.

There are now media rumors that the Dortmund management is very dissatisfied with Bosz and may change coaches at the end of the season.

But Bosz knows very well that this is not accurate.

How can we wait until the end of the season?

If he can't guarantee that the league will return to the right track and that he can't guarantee that he will qualify for the Champions League group stage, I'm afraid he won't be able to get through this cold summer.

So in this game, he asked the players to go all out!

Fight!

Fight Manchester United!

A victory is necessary to keep the last glimmer of hope!

Dortmund had a smooth start in this game.

They created a great opportunity in the 9th minute of the game.

Sahin made a precise long pass and found Aubameyang who was advancing!

Aubameyang dribbled the ball away from Smalling and shot low into the far corner of the goal!

De Gea fell to the ground to block, and the ball bounced on the goal post and flew out of the sideline!

Manchester United escaped!

Three minutes later, Pulisic made another sudden shot outside the penalty area!

The ball hit the crossbar and bounced out of the bottom line!
