Star Card System

I knew it!

Mourinho frowned as he looked at the smiling Raiola in front of him.

Finally, this day has come.

"I lost 100 euros. It's true that only the opponent knows you best."

"What did you say?"

"It's okay. It has nothing to do with you."

When Sanchez joined Manchester United, Mendes made a bet with Mourinho on the issue of a weekly salary of 500,000 euros.

"I bet that Raiola must be the first agent to jump out and ask for a salary increase!"

Mourinho didn't believe it and bet 100 euros.

Now he lost.

Seeing that Mourinho didn't speak, Raiola didn't hide it and went straight to the point.

"We all know Paul's position in Manchester United.

"It's unreasonable to say that he is the most important player in Manchester United.

"After all, Manchester United still has Xia. His overall state is better than Paul now. I admit it.

"But after Xia, I think Paul is the second star of Manchester United.

"After all, the club spent a lot of money to buy him. One hundred million euros is not a joke.

"At least he is much better than the Chilean striker who can't score goals.

"He can get a weekly salary of 500,000 euros. How is Paul worse than him?

"On behalf of my client, I will formally discuss the salary increase with you.

"This is a conversation, not a discussion. I hope you understand.

"If you don't have the right to decide, then fine, I will go to the club management."

Although Raiola's words sounded very measured, there was obviously hardness in his tone.

Mourinho knew that this fat man could do what he said.

And as long as he went to the management, the management would agree in nine out of ten cases.

It would be even more troublesome at that time.

Thinking of this, Mourinho could only persuade him kindly.

"What time is it now?

"It's January now, the most critical period of the season,

"It's not appropriate to ask for a salary increase at this time, right?

"If you want to raise Pogba's salary, then you can, we'll talk about it at the end of the season.

"By then, we'll have won enough championship trophies, don't mention you coming,

"Even if you don't come, I'll talk to the management and raise the players' salaries by a certain amount."

Raiola pouted: "A certain amount? Haha, this word is too subtle. My client doesn't need a certain amount, we want a big amount."

Mourinho said: "Then use the wonderful performance in the second half of the season to prove to the club that he deserves a big salary increase."

The two looked at each other, their eyes were sharp.

After a full minute, Raiola smiled.

Or he took a step back first.

"Okay, I'll give you this face.

"Now the team is indeed in an important season stage, and I don't plan to make trouble now.

"But I must give you and the club a shot in advance. We must raise wages at the end of the season.

"If you disagree, then I will take all measures.

"Let my clients get a salary that represents enough respect.

"But by then, it's not certain where my clients will be.

"Haha, goodbye."

Raiola pushed the door open and Mourinho was gnashing his teeth in the room.

This annoying fat man!

Although the team is leading the league and competing for the championship in three cups, it does not mean that the team has no troubles.

For example, the seriously injured Ibrahimovic is still lying in bed.

For example, the old captain Rooney and Carrick have been injured and their status has fluctuated greatly this season.

Another example is Sanchez, who has never been able to find the top status when he was in Arsenal. It's really weird.

There are many things to deal with, and Mourinho is already overwhelmed.

Although the team is running well now, once there is a problem in a certain link, it is likely to collapse completely.

In this case, Raiola is still looking for trouble?

Fxxk!

But then again, this is understandable.

After all, Sanchez's weekly salary is too high.

When signing the contract, Mourinho did not follow up too much.

After all, this is not the player he wants, and it is not his job to negotiate salary, it is the management's job.

But now, he has suffered the consequences.

Since Raiola left, Mourinho has received calls from several agents.

The purpose is surprisingly consistent.

Salary increase!

It's just that some people have a tougher attitude, and some people have a calmer attitude.

Mourinho naturally can't agree.

And he can't agree.

The decision-making power of salary increase lies with the management, after all, it is the management's money.

But who to raise salary and who not to raise salary, must seek Mourinho's opinion.

Otherwise, the salary of players who perform poorly will increase, which will eventually hit the morale of the team.

The issue of salary increase must be clearly rewarded and punished.

This is also the authority of the head coach.

But it is a fact that Sanchez has a high salary and is in poor form.

Mourinho has no way to deal with it.

He has finally bought someone, and he can't use him.

In the next few games, Mourinho still took special care of Sanchez and gave him enough playing time.

He even forcibly compressed the playing time of players such as Lukaku, Martial, and Rashford.

Just to give Sanchez more positions to try.

But unfortunately, the Chilean striker still failed to find his form.

In the next three rounds of Premier League games, Manchester United's opponents are Tottenham, Huddersfield and Newcastle.

In three games, Manchester United continued to maintain a winning streak.

Away win over Tottenham 2-0, this game was full of red and yellow cards.

Both teams received three red cards and five yellow cards, and the temper was full.

When Son Heung-min returned to defense, he made a dirty tackle and injured Lingard, who was in good form, and Lingard retired.

Calf muscle strain, injured for half a month.

Five minutes later, Xia Xing made a fierce tackle and knocked down Son Heung-min!

The referee whistled!

Yellow card!

But Xia Xing didn't care.

This was a tactical foul, and he had to rely on a tackle to interrupt the opponent's fast break.

And this tackle was of course emotional.

After all, Lingard is his good brother in the Manchester United team.

Son Heung-min left the field due to injury, and Tottenham lost a sharp blade, and finally had no attack and lost 0-2.

In the next two games, Manchester United won a lot more easily.

3-1 Huddersfield at night, 3-0 Newcastle.

The two games were played very easily.

Especially the forwards, they were in very good shape and scored goals one after another.

Except for Sanchez.

The Chilean striker has not scored yet.

There are so many goals, it will be embarrassing if anyone is missing...

In this situation, Sanchez's psychology has inevitably gradually become problematic.

This is also what Mourinho is very worried about.

But he can't do anything about it.

As the head coach of the team, he has done his best.

The rest of the things must be endured by the players themselves.

A weekly salary of 500,000 euros is a great benefit, but also a great pressure.

If you want to win the respect of your teammates and prove your worth to the world, you must get through this period.

Otherwise, you will become a joke.

Come on, young man... (End of this chapter)
