Chapter 379 Wayne Rooney
Before Mourinho shot, a person knocked on the door of Mourinho's office.

It is Wayne Rooney, a boxer, Lu Xiaopang, and a small tank. He started his career at Everton. He made his debut against Tottenham in the Premier League opener in 02-03 and played 77 times for Everton. , scored 17 goals.

In the summer of 04, Manchester United signed Rooney with a transfer fee of 2700 million pounds, and then he began a brilliant career as a Red Devils.

On September 04, 9, Manchester United played against Fenerbahce in the Champions League. Rooney made his Manchester United debut, which can only be described as stunning.Because...he completed a hat-trick on his debut and helped Manchester United win 28-6!

One month later, with one pass and one shot, he helped Manchester United beat Arsenal 2-0, ending the Gunners' unbeaten run of 49 games!
At present, he has played 557 times in Manchester United, scored 253 goals, won 5 Premier League titles, 4 Community Shield titles, 4 League Cup titles, 1 FA Cup title, 1 Champions League title, and 1 Club World Cup. champion.

He has surpassed Sir Charlton to become the top scorer in Manchester United history!
When he was young, Lu Xiaopang had amazing physical talent, he ran aggressively, like a tank propelling forward, his absolute speed and acceleration were astonishing, and his impact on the football field was devastating!
He has balanced left and right feet, and has a strong sense of grabbing points and a strong sense of smell in the penalty area!
He is the kind of man who fights for results, a post-Ferguson pitch leader!
Maybe he was drinking and fighting off the court, but on the court, his attitude was absolutely correct.

Playing in the Champions League with injuries left sequelae and damaged his career, but he never regretted it!

However, after the arrival of Mourinho, Rooney played 24 times in the Premier League, scoring 5 goals and 5 assists, 7 appearances in the Europa League, 2 goals and 3 assists, 4 times in the League Cup and 2 times in the FA Cup , 1 goal, 1 assist, 1 Community Shield, 1 assist.Among them, 14 came off the bench.

Compared with last season, 47 appearances, 17 goals and 6 assists, and 4 substitute appearances, this obviously shows that his tactical status in the team has declined.

Of course, this season, their results are much better than last season.

This made Rooney doubt himself.

I'm no longer useful to Manchester United?

So, he came to Mourinho and cut to the chase.

"Sir, I recognize your ability very much. I believe that the team will regain its glory, and I am very happy to do so. But I have a question. In this glory, have I become a part of the team's tactical system?" Leftovers?"

In fact, in the late Ferguson era, Rooney also played as a midfielder, shadow forward, winger, and midfielder, but they were all in the starting form. What he wanted to achieve was not his own position, but his own position in the team. positioning in .

Mourinho has used the popular 4-2-3-1 formation in most of his games this season.

In this formation, the center forward needs to have the ability to grab points and support. For Rooney, his header, which he is not very good at, is a flaw.

As for the front midfielder, Rooney's running is very good, but his long-range shooting ability outside the penalty area has declined considerably, and his ability to dribble and break through is also difficult to keep up with...

Rooney's advantage lies in experience, including field experience, and the experience of standing on the top of the world, which makes him confident and reasonable in handling the ball.

In fact, the current him is more suitable to be a shadow front.

However, in this position, Manchester United has multiple candidates.

Lingard, Martial, Rashford, Mkhitaryan, Mata, and Ye Tian can all be nailed here.

Maybe the first three are not plug-and-play, but they may be the future of the team, and they have to be given time to practice.

And Mata and Mkhitaryan, Mourinho is already watching them, intends to deal with one, to make room.

If a beast waist can be introduced during the summer break, then Ye Tian will definitely be nailed to the frontcourt.

Therefore, Rooney, at Manchester United, is only left with experience, stabilizing the locker room, and playing the role of afterglow and heat.

Mourinho was very slow when he said these things. He didn't like to lie to the players. This was good for the players and the team. Every time he said a word, he carefully looked at Rooney's face.

He wondered what Rooney was thinking.

However, after Rooney heard about his position in the team, he didn't directly talk about himself, but instead asked about Ye Tian and Ibrahimovic.

"Their contract issues, are they real?"

Mourinho rubbed his head.

If someone else asks, he directs and reprimands, but Rooney is different. He is the boss in the locker room and the captain. He has the right to ask. Moreover, Mourinho believes that his starting point must be for the team.

"I don't know, I'm planning to ask them. Ed and I briefly said that the negotiation with Raiola is mainly on the issue of wages."

Rooney nodded and said, "Sir, if it's about this, let me help you solve it."

Subsequently, Rooney said his plan.

Mourinho was shocked.

"Have you... decided? However, our momentum is very good! Next year, we will go to the Champions League, and we will win more and better quality champions!"

Rooney smiled: "Sir, if I didn't make the most important contribution as a main player, then these honors are not important to me! Now, Manchester United needs me to leave to make room for salary. This is A win-win! Although…”

He paused, his voice trembling: "Although I made this decision, I am very sad."

"But, for Manchester United!"

"So, sir, please persuade them! Be sure to keep them! Please!"

……

That night, Mourinho went to Ibrahimovic's house in Manchester, Ye Tian was there, and Helena was helping Ibrahimovic carefully remove the black spots on his knees.

Seeing Mourinho's arrival, Ibrahimovic and Ye Tian were very enthusiastic.

Ibrahimovic also showed Mourinho his recovery status. They went to the small training ground of the villa. Ye Tian passed the ball and he shot with his injured foot!
But neither Ye Tian nor Helena objected to this!
It can be seen that they have already played like this!

At this time, only 25 days have passed since Ibrahimovic was injured! ! (In reality, Ibrahimovic started playing like this 42 days ago. We have black jade intermittent ointment, which is almost half the time in advance, no exaggeration!)

"Zlatan, it's okay! Be careful!!!"

Mourinho was shocked!

"Hey! Jose! Who am I? Don't compare human resilience to lions!"

Ibrahimovic bounced and bounced a few times in the restored state, and I don't know if it was hard or he really recovered so miraculously.

"Okay, okay, I'm here to solve the recent major issues! If this continues, the three champions we want to get will be gone!"

Hearing that the champion to be won was about to disappear, both Ye Tian and Ibrahimovic narrowed their eyes, bursts of killing intent leaked out.

……

"So, Raiola is talking about 2000 million a year for me, and 1800 million a year for Zlatan? And after Wayne heard about it, he planned to leave the team in order to make room for us?" Ye Tian was surprised, then squinted Look at Ibrahimovic, hey bro, I'm more expensive than you!
Ibrahimovic didn't seem to see Ye Tian's eyes. He said sincerely to Mourinho: "José, after going through such an injury, although I know I have this ability, I can do it before I prove it. Playing for Manchester United for free. So, I will ask the old man to propose a new contract, and I will pay my salary according to my performance, with a maximum salary of no more than 1800 million. But for Ye Tian, ​​it cannot be lowered. You know, he is far more than This price!"

When Ye Tian heard this, he panicked: "Hey!..."

But before he finished speaking, Mourinho and Ibrahimovic continued to discuss this decision, completely ignoring Ye Tian's yelling.

Even, Ye Tian took out his phone and wanted to call Raiola, they didn't care.

After all, the other two people present also have a close relationship with Raiola, unless Ye Tian fires Raiola, otherwise, this plan will be decided.

Of course, in order to avoid Ye Tianzhen's dismissal of Raiola, they still spent a little time talking.

"Do you think I'm sacrificing my own interests to fulfill you? Or do you think I can't get this salary because of my strength?" Ibrahimovic scolded Ye Tian with wide eyes, "I'm giving the club a new level! To the fans An explanation! Lest they say you and I forced Wayne away!"

Mourinho also said on the side: "Yes, this is the best way now. Zlatan's contract is signed once a year, but you are different Ye Tian. After your contract is signed this time, I will stay at Manchester United for the first half of my career. 1+1! How many 5+2s can there be in life? Of course, Zlatan is an exception!"

Ibrahimovic: "Hey! Boy, if you really want to make money, how can you rely on your salary? You are a big brother in China! What is that? That is the market! Another day, brother, I will teach you how to make money."

Mourinho: "Zlatan, don't spoil him! Let's talk about the next game."

　On January 2021.01.16, [-], when I woke up in the morning, the news of Rooney's retirement was flying everywhere.Come on Lu Xiaopang, the happy and healthy days are officially over.

　　In fact, I had this hunch for a long time. After all, Gerrard also became a coach, and the cake team was originally a player and coach.Finally the wait came.

　　It just so happened that today I wrote the plot of the contract renewal at the end of the season. I originally planned to write that the cake team left for the team to make way for the newcomers and for the starting lineup and the team's tactical status. I didn't expect it to come together. .really...

　　Of course, in the future, the Pie team will play a few more games.

　　Bless the cake team will be more exciting in the second half!
