The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

As for Ruben Dias, the Portuguese club Benfica rejected our first offer of 15 million, but the player himself is full of expectations to join the club and has contacted Dalot several times to learn about the club's relevant situation; Mr. Jorge Mendes also intends to actively promote this transfer; the transfer department is optimistic about Ruben Dias' transfer, and the transfer fee is expected to be between 20 million euros and 25 million euros. "

"Ruben Dias's strength is still very good, the only thing he lacks is experience. Now Kepler Laveran Lima Ferreira (Pepe) has been confirmed. Let him learn from Pepe and Varane for a few years. In the next five to eight years, or even ten years, the club will not lack central defenders. "Solskjaer added.

"Ruben Dias is good. "Others may not know, but Rowley knows very well that two years later, Ruben Dias was bought by the next door for 68 million euros. The current cost of 20 million euros to 25 million euros can only be said to be a bargain. "Well, in this case, Varane + Pepe + Gvardiol + Ruben Dias, four central defenders, plus Chris Smalling can play as a guest, which should be enough for the second half of the season." Rowley continued.

"Boss, there is a new situation now. Yesterday, Chris Smalling's agent James Featherstone came to the club to discuss the contract renewal and made several requests:

First, he asked for a clear starting position, but you know that we have Varane, Maguire, Pepe in the central defender position, and Ashraf and Dalot in the right back position, so we can't give him a starting position at all;

Second, he asked for a salary increase to 250,000 pounds/week. With his current position in the club, this will inevitably break the salary balance in the locker room. "Solskjaer said in embarrassment.

"Boss, I have a purchase application from Roma for 16 million euros. I received it yesterday afternoon." Jason Wilcox, head of the transfer negotiation department, added.

"Then sell it. Be long-term. If you can't agree, you can't agree. There's no need to force it. Chris Smalling has been in the club for eight years. In principle, for such meritorious players, it is voluntary to stay or leave, and the club should not set too many obstacles; but if you dare to make small moves behind the scenes, Manchester United is not easy to bully. Jason, talk to Roma and pay enough money. We will part ways in peace and send him off; if you want to play tricks, I would rather stay for another year, even if I transfer freely next year. Is there a candidate list for this position in the transfer department? "Rolie said to Jason Wilcox.

"Yes, boss. Mario Hermoso Canseco, who currently plays for the Spanish club in La Liga, was born in June 1995. He made his debut in the Real Madrid youth training and was once a member of Castilla. He joined the Royal Spanish Football Club in 2017 and played 42 times in one and a half seasons, scoring 3 goals. This player can be promoted as a central defender and left back, and is a versatile backfielder. He was just selected for the Spanish national team in November and played in the friendly match against Poland, performing well. The estimated transfer fee is similar to that of Ruben Dias, and is expected to cost between 20 million euros and 25 million euros. "

"Sure, implement it as soon as possible." Rowley nodded to Jason Wilcox, affirming the efforts of the transfer department during this period, and then turned to Nicky Butt and said, "Nicky, how is the transformation and upgrading of Carrington going? ”

“The basic structure of the technology center has been completed. We have reached a strategic cooperation agreement with the School of Health Sciences of the School of Medicine and Health of the University of Manchester. All training grounds in the Carrington training base are fully covered by high-speed cameras for player movement analysis. The strength testing equipment in the gym has also been fully intelligentized to ensure that the physical condition of the players is accurately monitored. ”

“According to the requirements of Professor David Ludwig (Professor of the School of Health Sciences of the University of Manchester), Dr. Ciandy Williams (a famous sports doctor in England), and Mr. Steve McNally (a senior team doctor of Manchester United), the scale and facilities of the health center are also gradually improving. The upgrade of health equipment has been basically completed. At present, all the health data of players have been interconnected with the training center, diet therapy center (canteen), and sleep health center (player dormitory). ”

“The tactical analysis room has also been modernized and upgraded. It is equipped with an ultra-large screen and advanced analysis software. Is Coach Jose satisfied when using it? Nicky Butt said to Mourinho.

"It's more intuitive than before, and the data is more detailed. Very good!" Mourinho gave a thumbs up with satisfaction.

"Training baseThe accommodation and dining facilities have also been upgraded. After the establishment of the diet therapy center, it is determined to provide players with nutritious and delicious food, as well as a comfortable and quiet accommodation environment, so that they can devote themselves to training and competition. "Luo Lie and the participants nodded their heads.

"The transformation of the No. 4 training ground into an indoor football field is expected to be completed in early February. When the weather is bad, we can also conduct ball training in addition to the gym and swimming pool. "

"During the entire transformation process, we pay attention to the concept of environmental protection and sustainable development." Nicky Butt emphasized, "We use renewable energy such as solar energy and wind energy to reduce energy consumption; we use environmentally friendly materials to reduce the impact on the environment. "

"Jose, Ruud, Paul, the equipment upgrades are all for the service of the team. The coaching staff should communicate with several centers in time during use and make timely improvements if there are any problems. "

"Okay, Chairman." Mourinho, Van Nistelrooy, and Scholes said in unison.

"How is the transformation plan for Old Trafford going? "Luo Lie continued to ask.

"The renovation plan has been supported by Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham and 352 members of Manchester Trafford Council. The next time the Manchester Trafford Council in the UK convenes, it should be able to pass the "Plan to Renovate and Upgrade Old Trafford and Its Surrounding Areas."

"The renovation plan given by the office of Sir Norman Foster (one of the most famous architects in modern British history) is roughly as follows:

The first is the stands. The current stands are relatively old, and the comfort and vision of the seats need to be improved. The plan is to fully renovate the stands, adopt an ergonomic seat design, increase the width and spacing of the seats, so that fans can watch the game more comfortably. At the same time, adjust the slope of the stands, optimize the field of view, and ensure that every seat can clearly see every corner of the stadium."

The second is that the quality of the turf of the stadium will be comprehensively improved, and the most advanced turf cultivation and maintenance technology will be introduced to ensure that the turf is always kept in the best condition, whether in the wet rainy season or the dry season, to provide stable field conditions for the players. ”

The third is the upgrade of the lighting and sound systems. The latest LED lighting equipment will be installed to make the stadium as bright as day at night. At the same time, the sound system will be optimized to bring a more shocking audio-visual experience to the audience.

The fourth is the upgrade of the player tunnel and locker room. The player tunnel will be redesigned to add elements that showcase the club's history and honors to inspire the players' fighting spirit and sense of belonging. The locker room will be expanded and equipped with more advanced wardrobes, shower facilities and whirlpool bathtubs to provide the best rest and recovery environment for the players. "

The entire renovation will start in June 2019, after the last home game, and is scheduled to be completed in early August. In order to ensure that the construction period is completed on time, the club specially contacted the China Construction Group Daiying Division of the Eastern Power. "

"After the upgrade of Old Trafford is completed, there should be no problem within three to five years; but in general, Old Trafford is still a bit small, how is the argumentation of the stadium? "

"In accordance with your request to build the "world's largest stadium", the club invited two famous players, Mr. Andrew Cole and Mr. Gary Neville, to lead a special working group. In the past six months, they have visited the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, the United States, and the National Stadium in Kyoto, the Eastern Power. They also held special talks with Mr. Alex Thomas, the design director of HKS (who was responsible for the design of the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and the AT&T Stadium in Dallas), and Mr. Pierre de Meuron, the designer of the Bird's Nest. It is estimated that the construction of the new stadium will take 5-8 years, with a total budget of about 2-3 billion pounds. "

After Nicky Butt finished speaking, Rowley took the lead in applauding, and the applause once again resounded throughout the conference room.

Then some other issues were discussed. The whole meeting lasted for several hours. Everyone made a comprehensive summary and analysis of the team's work in the past year and made detailed plans for future development.

When the meeting ended, Rowley stood up and thanked everyone who attended the meeting again: "I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, Manchester United's future will be even brighter! ”

Ed Woodward, Nicky Butt, Mourinho, Solskjaer, Van Nistelrooy, Scholes, Cliff Batty, Jason Wilcox and all other participants also stood up, their eyes full of confidence and determination.

The whole meeting was over, and the work of Manchester United Club in 2018 was all over.Several executives and staff members left the club, and Lina returned to the United States to reunite with her family. Luo Lie originally planned to go back to Los Angeles with Lina to celebrate the New Year with his parents in this life, but his parents called Luo Lie a few days ago and said that the old couple went to Africa to watch animal migration, so Luo Lie had to temporarily stand up Lina.
