Chapter 28 Locker Room Talk

Mourinho hammered the tactical board with a "bang" and started the rage mode.

"While I don't want to criticize individual performances, some of you performed so poorly that you didn't deserve to win."

"You have to know that I am not talking about one or two games, but three, four, five, or even half a season. Performance in goals, assists, pressure, pressing, etc. has declined."

As Mourinho stretched out his fingers one by one, the temperature in the locker room seemed to drop to freezing point.

All the Manchester United players were shivering, as if they had been stripped naked and thrown into the ice and snow.

Mourinho looked around like a furious lion and continued to scold.

"So I guess enough is enough because other people are trying to get opportunities and everyone deserves a chance."

"But when you get a chance and you don't perform well enough, you have to accept a bad result."

"You did this yourself!"

"I suggest that all of you remember what I say, otherwise it will be too late to regret it later!"

"It's that simple!!!"

After saying this, Mourinho slammed the door and left, heading to the post-match press conference.

Sitting in the corner, Martial couldn't hide the resentment in his heart. He clenched his hands tightly and wanted to dig his nails into his flesh.

It was obviously you who took away my No. 9 jersey, it was obviously you who made me sit on the bench for a long time, and now you are rake me down.

The Manchester United players looked towards the corner covertly. Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they found Ibrahimovic standing up, and his nerves were tense again.

Mourinho trains people, but he never takes action.

This one is different.

Ibrahimovic looked at the young Manchester United player. He still couldn't say the curse words, but softened his tone slightly.

"If you come to Manchester United just to make money and walk around, then tell me now."

"The transfer period is not over yet. I will tell José to help you find a more suitable team."

"If not, then you have to take every game seriously because everyone else is working hard to win."

"Today's game is over. Don't worry about what happened, but learn from it and move on."

After finishing speaking, Ibrahimovic glanced at Martial with his peripheral vision and silently packed up his equipment.

He has seen many giant baby players in his career, and to put it harshly, he was once such a person and subconsciously believed that he would never have any problems.

After conflicts with others, strong resistance will arise, and the training attitude will become negative and go to extremes.

Fortunately, someone helped him correct this bad mentality.

And now, whether as a teammate or a senior, he does not want Martial to embark on this path of no return.

Chu Feng looked at Ibrahimovic's domineering back and thought that Mourinho and Ibrahimovic were a perfect match.

The former's stubborn character often leads to irreconcilable conflicts with players.

But adding the latter has actually played a role in stabilizing the locker room.

Half an hour later, on the bus back to Manchester, although the atmosphere was still solemn, it was no longer suffocating.

The Manchester United players all understand that the head coach treats the situation differently and as long as he corrects his attitude, he will not be scolded for no reason.

After returning to the training base.

Mourinho held a brief meeting and announced the official start of a half-month holiday.

He doesn't care whether you're playing for the national team or vacationing on the beach in Hawaii.

As he said, everyone is fighting for their chance.

If you don’t cherish it, someone will naturally cherish it.

Then Mourinho and Ibrahimovic left for Monaco to participate in the Champions League group stage draw ceremony.

Chu Feng sighed.

In fact, he also wanted to go, but there were not enough cafe seats.

So I could only go back to the dormitory, review the previous game, and watch the live broadcast on TV.

"Welcome to the 2017-18 UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony and UEFA awards ceremony."

"The camera showed Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Buffon. They are the top three of UEFA's best players."

"." Chu Feng couldn't help but be stunned.

Although all the people who came to the scene were the stars of each team, they seemed to be overshadowed by the light radiated by those two people.

When can I stand on that podium?
  Chu Feng shook his head, and now he started to dream about winning the prize even before he had secured his main position.

Be down to earth!
  Chu Feng criticized himself severely and continued to read with relish.

The first thing to be announced was the UEFA President's Award. Totti, who announced his retirement last season, stood up and slowly walked onto the podium.

"It's an honor to receive this award. My dream was to wear one jersey for the entire season and now I can truly say I did it."

The audience applauded again and again.

No matter how football develops, players who can stick to one person and one city deserve the respect of everyone.

Then there is the best goalkeeper in the Champions League.

Juventus youngster Buffon held the trophy and loudly said: "I am very proud to receive this award at this age."

"If there's a secret to winning awards, I think it's that I've always been hungry for accolades. It's the only way I know how to perform at the top level."

The players also gave warm applause.

Most of them grew up watching Buffon play, and now they have become the main force of a wealthy club, and they have not retired yet.

Then there was a moment of silence for the substitute goalkeepers of Juventus and Italy.

British Crown Prince, Roma deputy, Buffon substitute.

Come on, who can survive you!

Then the style changed and it became an exclusive show for Real Madrid.

Best defender in the Champions League: Ramos!
  Best midfielder in the Champions League: Modric!

Best striker in the Champions League: Cristiano Ronaldo!
  UEFA Male Player of the Year: Cristiano Ronaldo!
  no way.

Who made Real Madrid the first team to defend the Champions League after its reform?

Last season was a dominant performance, winning the best player award in the midfield and frontcourt without any objection.

Ronaldo held the trophy representing honor and gave a speech with a smile.

"I play for a fantastic team, Real Madrid."

"I love scoring goals and winning trophies, both as a team and individually, and I feel very happy now."

As he stepped off the stage, Messi shook hands with Ronaldo to congratulate him.

The relationship between the two is actually good. They respect each other and are not hostile.

There are just a few extreme fans who continue to cause wars everywhere under the banner of "Those who like Ronaldo must hate Messi" and "Those who like Messi must hate Ronaldo".

Anyway, Chu Feng didn't pay attention to those messy things, so he turned on his phone and played "Good Luck Comes".

I hope Mourinho's face won't be too dark.

He doesn't want to miss out on his first career trip to the Champions League and not even qualify for the group stage.

As the cheerful and festive melody sounded.

Chu Feng stared at the screen dumbfounded.

Damn it, sign it!

Is Manchester United the biological son of UEFA?
