The next day
Before the league match against Arsenal, Manchester United held a pre-match press conference.
Faced with the reporters’ criticism, Mourinho gave a comprehensive reply to the recent news that broke out at Manchester United.
Mourinho raised his index finger with one hand and kept shaking it:
"I reiterate that your reports should have evidence. Lingard is on the court. The injury in the last game was for the sake of the team, and this is what everyone sees."
"For a player who has been injured and needs at least 4-6 weeks to recover, this is already. It's a tragic ending, and we can no longer treat a player with speculation that happened off the field."
"As for the player's privacy, I hope everyone can respect it. We are very sure that Lingard is currently single. . ”
This was almost the head coach who personally helped Lingard clarify. You know, when players are caught in the whirlpool of public opinion, few clubs are willing to come forward, especially Manchester United.
Back then, only Giggs had enjoyed this treatment, but Lingard was not Mourinho’s biological son.
To be able to achieve this step, it can only be said that Lin Mo put in a lot of effort.
The players can empathize with this and begin to have some respect for Lin Mo.
Subsequently, Mourinho did not listen to the reporter's question at all, and continued with a stern face: "As for your report that Lingard was listed, haha, it's just nonsense. I haven't heard anything about it. ”
“Even if you ask me now, Lingard is an important member of the team this season.”
After saying that, Mourinho stood up and left. Didn't answer any questions about playing against Arsenal at all.
Naturally, these questions were thrown to Arsenal coach Emery.
"Excuse me, what do you think of Lingard's matter?"
Emery's expression changed as he sat down, and he became angry: "I think , you should ask Mourinho this question, not me.”
“If Manchester United may sell Lingard, will Arsenal choose to buy it?”
This is obviously a reporter who doesn't mention which pot is the best. Emery's face is even more ugly: "Arsenal has many excellent players, Lacazette, Aubameyang, Xhaka and Iwobi. I think we There is no need for a Manchester United substitute."
The reporters were very happy to get the answers they wanted, and each typed on the computer:
[Emery: Lingard is Manchester United. Abandoned son, he is not even worthy of carrying Aubameyang's shoes]
[Emery: Mourinho should not use Lingard as a substitute, he has not found a way]
[Arsenal coach talks about Manchester United: Mourinho doesn’t understand the team]
Anyway, the important thing about journalism isA title is just like a novel. An exaggerated title is the key to attracting popularity.
As for the content?
People have tricked themselves in, so it goes back to our old saying.... Come and come.
When all the contents of the pre-match press conference were transmitted back to the club, the players really regarded Lin Mo as a god this time.
This is comparable to Pogba!
It may not be disrespectful to say this, but under the circumstances, Pogba had the support of a star player and the club's senior management, and he had Rashford and Martial who could play together. Supported by Er et al.
He is definitely the dominant player within the club, and his influence is second only to Mourinho.
Today, Lin Mo can be said to have completely replaced Pogba's position in the team.
Not only young people support and admire him, but the old players also regard Lin Mo as a legacy.
This incident also reflects Lin Mo’s influence among the club’s top brass.
They don’t believe that they can easily convince the club’s top management as long as they persuade Mourinho.
Just when they looked at Lin Mo with admiring eyes, Lin Mo heard the system prompt in his mind:
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
"Ding——!"
"Congratulations to the host, the progress of the task of reviving Manchester United has increased to 50%. The system will issue stage rewards. Please check."
< p> "Ding——!""Congratulations to the host for winning one of the three S-SSS level lottery draws, a system random treasure box, and 24h accelerated training cards*10. Please continue to work hard and complete the revival mission as soon as possible. . ”
Lin Mo had already expected this, but he didn’t expect that the progress would actually increase by 20% this time, which was a bit unexpected.
But now that the team is on its way to London, Lin Mo did not open the reward immediately.
Arsenal is still struggling this season. Compared to Arsenal who are competing for 4th place, Manchester United still has the initiative in the game.
Lin Mo does not need to affect his preparation before the game.

March 11th
The 30th round of the Premier League finally started, which also marked the final sprint stage of the Premier League.
Relegation teams, European teams, championship teams and mid-tier teams.
The entire 20 teams in the Premier League are divided into four types. The first type of team is the weakest but the most difficult to deal with.
Because this kind of team often fights fiercely to avoid relegation, it is normal for them to accidentally overturn.
After all, no capable team will take the risk of injury.
The second type of team tends to seek stability, with tight fences and counterattacks.Extremely sharp, and in key games, they have the fighting spirit of a relegation team.
Yes, I’m talking about you, fighting for the Four Mad Arsenal!
Of course, the competition for qualifying for the Europa League is also extremely fierce. After all, a trip to Hong Kong for a tournament only costs US$6.5 million, and a trip to Tokyo only costs US$3 million.
Mainly because you don’t have enough big names in your team, otherwise you can have close contact with the stars for 3 million yen.
This is the real tool for making money.
If you reach the Europa League, you can earn a guaranteed 6 million euros, and if you advance to the semi-finals, the club will earn at least 15 million euros.
Among them, 12 games will include 6 home games, and the ticket revenue alone will exceed 25 million euros.
Therefore, the top teams in the Premier League will desperately squeeze into the top six for the 40 million euros in operating income.
This includes the eighth-placed Wolves, seventh-placed Everton, sixth-placed Arsenal and fifth-placed Chelsea.
The last bracket is the first cluster of Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham and Liverpool.
Manchester United has the highest score of 72 points, and the fourth place is Tottenham with 65 points.
In the Premier League with the last 9 games left, it cannot be said that the competition is not fierce.
Manchester United’s opponent this time is Arsenal, who are in sixth place. They currently have 50 points, 5 points behind Chelsea, who are in fifth place and 55 points.
In recent seasons, because of Real Madrid’s dominance in the Champions League.
The Premier League's European War points ranking has dropped, resulting in the fifth-placed team in the league being eligible to participate in the Europa League, while the sixth-placed team is not eligible to participate.
Unless a team in the Premier League wins the championship!
The match between Manchester United and Arsenal started in such an atmosphere.
