"They couldn't continue the game..."

"Rashford is in good form, he can finish the game."

We have to trust them!

Li Yanqing's voice suddenly rang in Mourinho's mind, echoing again and again.

He had never felt so much regret.

Li Yanqing himself also looked at Mourinho.

Don't blame yourself for not saying nice things; even if you did, you wouldn't believe me!

Manchester United have successfully advanced to the Europa League semi-finals.

But no one in the coaching staff, including the players, was happy.

All the Premier League media outlets are also making pronouncements such as Manchester United will struggle to win a game in the near future.

The main reason is that Ibrahimovic, the absolute core player for the past half season, was seriously injured.

He won't be able to play again for at least a year.

Mourinho, along with a group of assistant coaches, held meetings in the tactics room for two consecutive days.

They are studying how to achieve their goal of winning both titles after losing Ibrahimovic.

Li Yanqing could clearly sense that Mourinho had started asking for his opinion more frequently.

The level of importance attached to it has increased significantly.

But to be honest, Li Yanqing felt that this was a task that was simply impossible to complete.

In terms of talent alone, Manchester United's players are all excellent.

For example, Martial and Pogba.

Name: Anthony Martial.

Age: 21 years old.

Status: Extremely poor.

Fatigue level: 15%.

Probability of injury: 30%.

Keywords: [A flash of inspiration], [All-around forward], [Injury-prone].

Name: Paul Pogba.

Age: 23 years old.

Status: Extremely poor.

Fatigue level: 20%.

Probability of injury: 5%.

Keywords: [A constant flash of inspiration], [All-around midfielder], [Rebellious], [Unconventional]

If you ignore the negative keywords, each one is more impactful than the last.

For players, the "flash of inspiration" is extremely important, and there is even an upgraded version of it.

Both players are all-around players.

Their condition was "extremely poor" throughout the entire year.

The fact that an entry that changes constantly during a match can remain so stable clearly shows that their minds are not on football at all.

Drinking, picking up girls, partying...

His talent has probably already been fully realized in bed.

Li Yanqing couldn't imagine what Pogba would be like if he focused all his attention on football, given that he could occasionally put on world-class performances even when he was in such poor form.

Is it too much to compare him to Zidane?

But to be honest, Manchester United's biggest problem is actually...

"Joseph! It's so good to see you!"

"We've just won another game!"

"They have a very good chance of winning the league title this season!"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a greasy man in a suit barged in with a big laugh on his face.

Ed Woodward, the club's chief executive officer, is known as Ed Woodward.

Li Yanqing covered his head, realizing that his wish had come true.

He believes this is Manchester United's biggest problem right now.

"We have just suffered a major blow, sir."

"Zlatan is injured; he's our key player."

"Also, you can't just barge in during tactical meetings."

Mourinho didn't give him a friendly look; he disliked this person, especially now that he was extremely annoyed.

In reality, San Dezi might not have liked this outspoken head coach that much, but he did a very good job of putting on a professional fake smile.

"Don't say that, Joseph. Can't I have a few special privileges?"

Woodward ignored all the rules and went straight to the tactics board, after all, he was the CEO.

“You already have a lot of privileges,” Mourinho replied.

Woodward paused for a moment; after all this time, he still hadn't gotten used to how to deal with this head coach.

The air seemed to grow heavy for a moment.

Fortunately, he quickly recovered.

"Haha, don't be like that. I'm here to tell you something very important."

"If we can win the league title, I can get you a superstar for next season!"

“I don’t need a supernova, sir,” Mourinho said bluntly.

The biggest difference between this San Dezi and him is that one is a pure businessman and the other is a pure football coach.

He can spend a lot of money to buy some super popular players, but he never cares whether the latter want them or not.

All he cares about are the financial statements.

"Also, it will be very difficult to win the championship this season. We have lost our biggest asset!"

"However, we are still 6 points behind Manchester City!"

Mourinho became more and more agitated as he spoke, while the other side had no idea what they were going through.

Speaking of which, he has always envied Manchester City's manager, Pep Guardiola, for being able to receive the club's unwavering support.

Even if you pick the opposing team's bench players individually, they wouldn't be bad at the Premier League!

As for him, almost all the people who wanted to buy him were rejected by San Dezi.

"We still have Martial, Pogba, Rashford..."

"They are all very popular young people right now!"

"I believe we are strong enough to win the championship!"

Woodward waved his hand, completely ignoring Mourinho's words.

Li Yanqing finally couldn't take it anymore and stood up, hoping to end this farce as soon as possible.

This CEO has absolutely no idea what football is, nor does he understand the extent of the problems these players have.

"It's not true that the more expensive the player, the better they will play, sir."

"The Galactic Warships of yesteryear taught us this lesson."

"We still have to continue the meeting, could you please leave first?"

Offending the CEO is not a wise move, but if he doesn't even dare to speak up, then he's not himself.

Woodward looked at the young man who had suddenly spoken, and his expression suddenly became quite interesting.

In Old Trafford, someone actually dared to ask him to leave?

Do you know who he is?

After a long silence, he finally asked with a grim face, "Asian? Island nation?"

"No, I am Chinese."

"Chinese? Heh..."

He suddenly laughed, and the next second, he flew into a rage.

"Since when have Chinese people been allowed to stand here and criticize me?"

"Joseph, this person shouldn't be on your team!"

“He’s very professional, sir.” Mourinho stepped in front of Li Yanqing.

He not only protected his players, but also his subordinates.

Mourinho's verbal non-cooperation had already infuriated Woodward, but since he was the team's manager, he had to make some concessions.

What is this Chinese person anyway?

She's just an assistant.

“I suggest you send that Chinese man back to China to do something else. We all know that football there is a disaster.”

"He doesn't deserve Old Trafford."

“I don’t think you’d mind if I fired him.”

Upon hearing what the other person said, Mourinho's expression changed, and he quickly shook his head.

"No, I even think he's one of the most useful people here."

That wasn't entirely a lie; having worked together for over a year, he knew Li Yanqing's capabilities very well.

Especially after the last game, he began to think that this Chinese man had a lot of talent to be a head coach.

If the other person weren't so young, only twenty-five years old, he would even be prepared to promote him to second assistant coach.

But Woodward, who has been CEO here for several years, is clearly not going to give up his ideas just because of a single sentence from Mourinho.

He needed to give this arrogant head coach a wake-up call, and now it seems that this Chinese man is a good choice.

It won't have much impact on the club, and it's someone the latter cares about.

With that thought in mind, his tone became even more resolute.

"This is Old Trafford, Jose, and I am the CEO!"

"That Chinese man has been fired!"

"This is my right!"

Mourinho's expression immediately turned ugly.

He is straightforward, but he is not stupid.

Of course, I know that San Dezi is trying to intimidate us.

“It’s alright, sir, I can leave at any time.”

Li Yanqing, on the other hand, seemed completely indifferent.

With my current work experience, even if no top team wants me, I could easily become a head coach back in China.

Although he was certainly not willing to accept it, the thing he couldn't stand the most in his life was being wronged.

"I've had enough of this place."

"San Dezi, remember what I said."

"You will be nailed to the pillar of shame at Manchester United, and I will bring the team back here and nail you there myself!"
