Star Card System

In the evening, in a luxurious villa.

Solskjaer and Carrick are talking to a Manchester United player.

This Manchester United player is Pogba, who is still injured.

At this time, Pogba is lying on the sofa, looking at the two coaches in front of him, still with a cynical look.

"Thank you for coming to see me, thank you."

"You're welcome, this is what we should do. How is your injury recovery?"

"It was almost healed by the end of the year, but it recurred again, which is a pity."

"I remind you again, don't use those witch doctors in Africa, they are of no benefit to your injury."

"Well..."

"Take a good rest, we're leaving."

"Coach, I have another question."

"Go ahead."

"Will you give me the right to organize the team's offense after I recover from my injury?"

"We'll see when the situation comes. We're leaving, bye."

Leave the villa and get in the car.

Solskjaer frowned.

Carrick next to him patted his shoulder: "Do you still need to consider this? Pogba and Xia, two choices, are they comparable?"

Solskjaer shook his head: "But this is not something I can decide. After all, the club invested 100 million euros to buy him and doesn't want to let him go so easily."

"Then watch Xia go?"

"Maybe we can save him again?"

"Don't think about it, no hope! I know Xia's temper very well. Once he says something harsh, he will definitely do it!"

"Is there no hope at all?"

"Not at all. So my suggestion is - instead of finding a balance between the two, you might as well lobby the club management as soon as possible, let them put down their financial burdens and send Pogba away quickly."

"What if they don't agree?"

"Then watch Xia leave the team, it's that simple."

"What if the club doesn't agree with Xia leaving the team?"

"Haha, they really can't control it. You know, many of Manchester United's sponsorship contracts are now tied to Xia. If the club has a conflict with him, it will backfire on the club."

Solskjaer was silent.

Even if Carrick didn't say it, Solskjaer knew it very well.

Xia Xing is of great significance to Manchester United.

Losing Xia Xing, it can even be said that Manchester United has lost the hope of revival.

Such a superstar can't be bought with money.

But even so, the club still wants to keep Pogba.

Because Pogba is the decision of some people in the club, costing 100 million euros. If he is finally cleared, it means that some people made a wrong decision and they have to take responsibility.

Manchester United lost the hope of revival, which does not affect their position; but if Pogba is cleared, it proves that their investment decision failed, and they must take responsibility.

So, Pogba cannot be lost.

There is another sentence that Solskjaer dare not think about.

That is, if some people have to choose between the two, they will even give up Xia Xing for their own interests.

They can definitely do it.

When thinking of this, Solskjaer felt very sad.

Regarding Pogba, he just loves and cherishes talents, and has no other special subjective feelings.

But if you really have to choose between the two, as long as the head coach is not a fool, of course he will choose Xia Xing.

Even if two Pogbas were exchanged for one Xia Xing, he would not change.

But now, he is just a manager, not a boss.

He cannot make many decisions for the team.

I heard from two assistant coaches that even big-name coaches and meritorious coaches like Mourinho could not make decisions before, let alone him.

Well, let it go...

Speaking of Mourinho, he really has a lot of fate with Manchester United.

Since leaving Manchester United on Christmas Eve 2018, he has never left the football circle.

Guest commentator, temporary UEFA official, engaged in football promotion...

Mourinho is not idle either.

Of course, he has been waiting for a sincere invitation.

And in the end, he waited.

When Tottenham owner Levy came to him with a big contract, Mourinho was moved by the other party's sincere eyes.

On November 20, 2019, Mourinho came out and became the new coach of Tottenham!

He returned to the Premier League and vowed to rebuild a white empire!

Mourinho has won consecutive victories in the two months since he took over as Tottenham coach.

The team has moved from being near the relegation zone when he took over to being close to the top six now.

Mourinho's ability to coach the team is still world-class.

Especially Kane and Son Heung-min, the strength of the two has undergone a qualitative change.

From the previous top attackers in the Premier League, they can now be regarded as world-class attackers.

Now in the entire Premier League offensive combination, only the Liverpool trident can compete with them in terms of goals.

And the game that made Mourinho the most god was Tottenham's three consecutive wins in the Champions League group stage.

Facing Red Star Belgrade, Tottenham played 5-0 at home like cutting melons and vegetables, and the White Hart Lane Stadium was cheered.

Harry Kane performed a hat trick, Son Heung-min made three assists and one goal, and the performance of the two was world-class.

And half a month later, they swept Red Star Belgrade 4-0 again away, making the opponent swallow the bitter fruit again.

In the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Tottenham faced their direct rival Olympiacos.

At White Hart Lane, they fought against their opponents.

This was one of the few games Mourinho played against his opponent.

Mainly because Tottenham's defense was not strong enough and needed to be supplemented, so Mourinho simply fought with the opponent to score!

You can score, but I will score more!

At home, Tottenham's players played the best game of the season so far.

Harry Kane still scored twice, becoming the brightest star of the game and helping the team score first.

But the opponent soon fought back. With fierce central pressing, they intercepted the ball twice and counterattacked to score.

2 to 2, Tottenham was tied.

But soon, their hero stood up.

In the 77th minute of the game, front midfielder Ali broke through with the ball and shot 30 meters away from the goal!

The ball hit the net!

3 to 2!

Five minutes later, Ali passed the ball again, and Son Heung-min received the ball and pushed it into the net!

4 to 2!

Finally locked the victory!

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the Tottenham players hugged each other excitedly!

They qualified for the Champions League group ahead of schedule!

Before Mourinho took office, Pochettino had suffered two consecutive defeats in the Champions League group stage, and they were on the verge of elimination.

Lost to Bayern, and were beaten by the opponent without any chance to fight back.

Lost to Olympiacos, and were defeated by the opponent by one goal, and left the field in frustration.

The most important goal of Mourinho after taking office is to qualify for the Champions League group.

While continuing to score points in the league, the Champions League continued to exert its strength!

In the end, with a wave of three consecutive victories, they got the second place in the group ahead of schedule!

Mourinho showed his power!

White Bird qualified! (End of this chapter)
