Chapter 166 Is this an attitude towards traitors?
On February 25, Manchester United came to Wembley Stadium again, this time they were competing with Wolves for the League Cup this season.
For Mourinho and Manchester United, they had won the League Cup last season and didn't care much about this trophy that was also useless in England, but since they have reached the finals... then take it!
During the game, Manchester United used the "pseudo-center tactics" that they didn't use for a while at the beginning, which completely disrupted the Wolves' tactical arrangements. In addition, the Wolves, which originally came from the English Championship, were far inferior to Manchester United in terms of strength. As a result, after the first half, the entire second half became useless.
4:0!
In just 45 minutes of the first half, Yang Xiaozhuang destroyed the morale and confidence of his opponent with his own strength. This is his second "big four-game" in the last three games, and it is also the third time that he has exposed a "big four-game" in the game this season. As for the hat... he has been wearing it many, many times.
In the second half, Yang Xiaozhuang was replaced by Lukaku, and Manchester United finally locked the score at 5:0 with a goal from Martial!
In the League Cup scorer list, Yang Xiaozhuang could only be the second place. He played too few times in this event. Including this "big four-game" he only scored 5 goals.
Manchester United players were quite happy to win the League Cup. Anyway, the trophy is not too much!
But Pogba put on a gloomy face on his way back to Manchester from London with the team... He just received the news that Mourinho approved his application for transfer to Real Madrid, which means that both sides will enter the stage of negotiating the transfer fee.
Pogba had also made some plans with his agent Raiola before, but what they thought was that they would wait until the end of the season to talk about this matter, but they didn't think so much... The progress of things was so fast that they caught them off guard!
The transfer application issued by Real Madrid to Manchester United did not provide a specific offer amount. At the same time, the transfer date was also given this year's summer transfer period, but Manchester United did not reply before, and this matter was almost forgotten by Real Madrid. Zidane even felt that he should not waste time on Pogba anymore.
As a result, this time Mourinho responded, he directly pushed Pogba's transfer to Real Madrid a lot, and even Manchester United had proposed an acceptable amount... 100 million pounds!
When Manchester United bought Pogba back from Juventus, it spent as much as 86 million pounds, a discount of 105 million euros. Now Manchester United is asking for 100 million pounds, which is not an exaggeration. After all, Pogba's performance this season is still remarkable. So far, Manchester United played 32 times in various competitions, scoring 4 goals and assisting 4 times, with an average score of 7.69 points. In addition, Manchester United has raised Pogba for a year, and he also paid some transfer fees when signing Pogba back, 100 million pounds... not high.
It should even be said that Manchester United's quotation of 100 million pounds is already very sincere!
Real Madrid is not in a hurry. Now, Manchester United's attitude is obviously that they just don't want Pogba, a troublemaker. The initiative in this transfer is only on Real Madrid. In terms of price... it is not unacceptable. The main thing is to look at Zidane's ideas.
As for Pogba likes to make trouble... Haha, this is Real Madrid. There are so many people making trouble. Who is Pogba considered?
As for money... it doesn't matter to Real Madrid. Like Barcelona, they adopt a membership system. Although they have super strong business operation capabilities and make a lot of money every year, their system does not allow the club to make profits. In addition to the necessary development funds, all other money must be spent. Therefore, these two clubs have many transfer transactions called "mystery operations". There must be unclear things in them, but no one cares about them most of the time.
But for Pogba, the transfer process is too fast, which will have a great impact on his current situation. At least Manchester United fans may not accept him. After all, there are still three or four months left before the summer transfer, and the team has not won enough trophy. At this time, Manchester United will definitely not have completed its recovery.
But if it is the end of the season, Manchester United can at least win a Premier League championship. At that time, Pogba will leave again, but even... he will retire after success!
Because of this, Pogba returned to Manchester and communicated with his agent Raiola quickly, and hoped that Real Madrid would extend the negotiation process as much as possible, otherwise it would be detrimental to Pogba's personal image and would also damage Real Madrid's future interests.
In addition, Raiola also hopes that Pogba can accelerate the cultivation of his relationship with Yang Xiaozhuang, so that no accident will happen when he settles David Andrew and exchanges shares of their joint brokerage company for Yang Xiaozhuang's contract.
Time is so tight, Pogba really hates Mourinho, why don’t he play according to common sense?
When you transfer to Real Madrid in the winter, you suddenly agreed to the price when you hit this level of kung fu. Moreover... Manchester United's management is probably impatient, otherwise if you transfer a player of Pogba, it would definitely not be enough to only Mourinho make the decision.
But in the next two days, the media also made continuous bursts of news, and there were even photos of Raiola and Real Madrid president Florentino having a meal together.
Now, all the English media put Pogba as a "traitor" hat!
Even radical Manchester United fans have sent photos and videos of burning Manchester United's No. 6 jersey, and the caption dubbing shouted the word "traitor"!
This made Pogba irritated. Even during his daily training, he seemed a little out of his mind and his condition showed a cliff-like decline.
Mourinho took all this into consideration, and in the next 28th round of the Premier League home game against Manchester United, he announced the roster to the team early, and Pogba's name...is on the list!
Mourinho even held a pre-match press conference in advance at the Carrington base and announced the list of the second "Manchester City Derby" of the season early.
A reporter asked Mourinho how he viewed Pogba's transfer to Real Madrid. Mourinho said sternly: "Paul is still at Manchester United for one day, and he is an important member of us for one day. In a key game against Manchester City at home, he is naturally our first choice."
Chapter completed!
