The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

In the following game, the two sides fell into a stalemate. The midfielders of the red team kept trying to tear open the defense of the yellow team through short passes, while the yellow team relied on solid defense to resolve the red team's attack again and again. The yellow team also tried to organize an effective counterattack. Erling Haaland and Edinson Cavani gradually had some tacit understanding in the frontcourt. The running positions of the two involved the defense of the red team, which brought considerable pressure to the red team's defense.

Just as the first half of the game was coming to an end, the red team got a free kick opportunity in a good position. Marco Verratti stood in front of the ball. He took a deep breath, stared at the wall and goal of the yellow team, then ran up, kicked, and kicked a powerful free kick. The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew towards the lower right corner of the yellow team's goal. The yellow team goalkeeper Dean Henderson reacted quickly, flew sideways, and blocked the ball out of the bottom line with his fingertips, and the red team got a corner kick. After the corner kick, the Red Team's defender Harry Maguire grabbed the first point and headed the ball, but unfortunately the ball was too straight and was firmly held by Henderson. The first half of the game ended in such a tense atmosphere, with the two sides tied 0:0.

At the beginning of the second half, Mourinho made substitutions. The Red Team first replaced Joshko Gwadiol, Nico Williams, Vitinia Ferreira, Jamal Musiala and Michael Olise, hoping to change the situation on the field through the injection of fresh blood. The Yellow Team was not to be outdone, and replaced Lee Grant, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Scott McTominay, Mason Greenwood and Dyson Bernard. Both sides expected the substitutes to bring different performances.

He first used his right foot to gently tap away the defense of the red team's defensive player Theo Fernandez, then quickly adjusted his posture and shot the ball about 20 yards away from the goal. The ball flew towards the lower right corner of the red team's goal with a whistling sound like a cannonball. Although the red team goalkeeper David De Gea made a save, Cristiano Ronaldo's shot was too tricky and too fast. The ball went into the net, and the yellow team led 1:0. The entire yellow team bench was instantly boiling, and teammates ran to Cristiano Ronaldo and hugged him to celebrate. Mourinho on the sidelines also showed a gratified smile and applauded Cristiano Ronaldo's wonderful performance.

He rushed towards the yellow team's goal with the ball, but unfortunately at the moment of shooting, he was successfully blocked by Scott McTominay who returned to defense of the yellow team. On the yellow team side, Erling Haaland also grabbed a header opportunity in the penalty area, but the ball was miraculously saved by the red team goalkeeper David De Gea.

With the referee's final whistle, this wonderful confrontation came to an end.

The training on the last day of the physical training week was mainly targeted at strengthening the problems that occurred in the confrontation training the day before, while continuing to consolidate various basic skills.

Giovanni Serra, head of the data analysis center, came to the coaching team with a thick stack of data reports, and analyzed in detail with Mourinho and others the performance of each player in the confrontation game. "From the data, Haaland's sprint speed and confrontation success rate are still very high, but there is still room for improvement in the efficiency of seizing opportunities in front of the goal. We can arrange some special shooting exercises for him in today's training." Giovanni Serra said.

So, Erling Haaland came to the shooting training area, and physical coach Rui Faria set up shooting points of various angles and distances for him, and also arranged defensive players to interfere with the simulated game scene. Haaland was a little impatient at first, and several shots missed the goal, but he quickly adjusted his mentality, calmed down and carefully observed the defensive players' positions, then found the right opportunity and volleyed the ball with great force. The ball flew into the dead corner of the goal like a cannonball. He excitedly clenched his fist to celebrate, and his teammates next to him cheered for him.

On the defensive side, defenders such as Raphael Varane and Ruben Dias followed physical trainer Carlos Larin for intensive one-on-one defense training, focusing on how to better complete steals and interceptions without losing position. Varane successfully predicted the intentions of the offensive players again and again, and cleanly intercepted the ball. His performance satisfied the coaches.

The midfielders focused on passing accuracy and running connection training. Marco Verratti and Nemanja Matic passed the ball to each other, keeping the ball running smoothly in the ever-changing running positions, striving to better control the midfield rhythm in the new season.

The youth players were also busy. They were consolidating their basic skills in their respective small areas. Ethan Whitley continued to improve his passing strength and accuracy in passing training. He knew that only by practicing these basic skills well could he have the opportunity to truly step onto the big stage of the Premier League in the future.

The goalkeepers continued to strengthen their reaction and attacking ability training. Silvino Rulo and Emilio Alves set up various tricky angles for them to improve their ability to deal with complex situations in one save after another.

The last training session that afternoon was relatively relaxed, mainly focusing on some interesting team cooperation games and relaxation stretching.

The coaching staff organized a relay pass game. The players were divided into several groups. Each group needed to complete the prescribed passing actions in turn. In the end, which group took the shortest time and missed the ball?The team led at the beginning, but there was a pass error in the middle, and the other teams took the opportunity to catch up. However, they did not get discouraged and quickly adjusted their state. In the end, they successfully overtook and won the game. Haaland was so happy that he hugged his teammates like a child to celebrate.

Then came the relaxation and stretching session. Fitness coach Rui Faria led everyone to do various stretching movements, and reminded everyone while doing it: "Don't be careless about this stretching. It can help you relax your muscles and reduce the risk of injury. Remember to stretch more when you go back." The players followed carefully and enjoyed this rare moment of relaxation.

Mourinho stood in the middle of the field, looking at these energetic players with a gratified smile on his face. He said loudly: "Guys, everyone has worked hard in the past seven days. I have seen everyone's efforts and progress. The new season is just around the corner. Let's move towards the goal of the championship together!" The players shouted in unison, and the sound echoed over the training base, as if it was their strongest declaration of war for the new season.

After the seven-day training, head coach Mourinho gave all the players a day off, and the players could leave the training base and return to their homes. As the last player left the training ground, the first phase of pre-season training officially came to an end, but Manchester United, a team full of fighting spirit, had accumulated strength in these seven days and was ready to write their glorious chapter in the new season.
