Chapter 276 A New Journey
Compared with Ibrahimovic, Mourinho's answers to reporters' questions are much more satisfactory. Many answers are standard answers that reporters have already memorized.
Shen Peng was also a little surprised. It seemed that Mourinho was different from what he remembered?
After the press conference, these "newcomers" went to meet other Manchester United players together.
……
When they came to the training ground, the Manchester United players were doing simple exercises.
After seeing Shen Peng, they all looked over curiously. After all, Shen Peng came with a transfer fee of 7000 million euros, so it was difficult not to attract attention.
"We have three new members to join this season. I think you all know them." Woodward, who was walking in the front, said that the "three" here refers to three players. As the head coach, Mourinho has been at the club for a while. This time he just went to the press conference.
Immediately someone blew a whistle: "Shen Peng, who doesn't know?"
Shen Peng looked over, he had done his homework before coming here, he basically knew all the Manchester United players, and found out that this person was Martial.
Martial came to Manchester United in September last year. The transfer fee was 3600 million pounds, making him the most expensive player under the age of 20. He also won the European Golden Boy Award last year.
However, these are all overshadowed by Shen Peng. Shen Peng is about the same age as him, but he won the Golden Boy Award a year earlier, and is even expected to win the Golden Globe Award. Moreover, Martial does not even have a fraction of Shen Peng's transfer fee.
In addition, there is another important point, that is, both Shen Peng and Martial are active on the left side. Once Shen Peng comes, Martial is bound to lose the position of the main force. Therefore, it is understandable that Martial is hostile to Shen Peng.
When most people saw that it was Martial, they all showed a dazed look.
Woodward also smiled at Mourinho at this time, and he walked out, "Manchester United is a well-established club. Our goal is not just the league, so enough bench depth is the guarantee for the team to fight on multiple fronts. As for the chance to play... I only look at the state performance, not the worth."
Speaking of which, Mourinho took out a piece of paper, "Before the official start of the league, we will have three friendly matches and two World Cup matches. I will use these games as an assessment of your competitive status. Whoever performs well in these games will get the chance to start the league."
"There are still more than ten days before the first friendly match, so I hope everyone cheers up and shows their best during training!"
Because it's getting late now, the three of Shen Peng got acquainted with the club's environment briefly, got to know the coaching staff and club staff, and the team announced its disbandment.
……
It was already six o'clock in the evening when Shen Peng returned to the villa.
"Honey, you're back!"
"Well, you went to a new work place today, how about it, get used to it!"
"Of course I'm used to it. My job doesn't require physical labor. Unlike you, I heard that the Premier League matches are fierce. You have to be careful not to get hurt by them."
"My body is fine!" Shen Peng said confidently, and his muscles brightened, "When did you see me get injured in the past two years?"
Delia tilted her head and thought for a while, "It seems that there is no such thing, not only in your hands, but you don't even seem to have a rest in rotation."
"So, the physical confrontation here is not worth mentioning to me!"
"Look at you!" Delia suddenly rolled her eyes, put her arms around Shen Peng's neck, and her voice became softer, "Since you are in such good health, why don't I try it at night?"
Shen Peng blushed slightly when he heard this, and quickly coughed dryly, "Okay, Rongrong, stop joking. By the way, your company is a bit far from here, why don't we go buy a car!"
Delia smiled like a victor. Every time she made such a joke, Shen Peng would shyly change the subject.
But what Shen Peng said this time is indeed a problem that needs to be solved, so she also withdrew her mind: "But, neither of us has a driver's license yet."
"Don't you usually have time on weekends? Why don't you learn one?" Shen Peng is not interested in cars or driving. He doesn't even know the brands of famous cars in the market.
"Okay then." Delia nodded thoughtfully, and agreed to the proposal, "By the way, I learned how to make a soup today, and it's almost ready now, come and try it!"
"Okay, let me see what new things you have learned!"
Shen Peng was completely relieved at this moment, and walked over, this girl is too seductive!
……
The next time will be slowly spent in training.
During training, he felt many differences, and it was the difference between Mourinho and Klopp.
When they were in Dortmund before, their players trained more offensive routines together, but now they train more defensive routines. This is consistent with the football philosophy of the two head coaches. After all, one advocates offense, and the other pays more attention to defense; one is to score more than the opponent, and the other is to prevent the opponent from scoring.
In this way, Shen Peng needs to return to defense frequently.
Unlike in Dortmund before, except for a few times, such as the match against Barcelona in the Champions League final last year, Shen Peng basically didn't need to participate in the defense. He only needed to get the ball from the wing and then attack.
However, Shen Peng has no objection to this, as long as it helps the team win, he is willing to do it, and he is fully capable of doing it with his physical strength.
Slowly, the time came to July 7, which was Shen Peng's first game after coming to Manchester United. He challenged Wigan Athletic in the English Championship away.
Wigan Athletic was still a Premier League team before the 12-13 season, but they fell into the British Championship in the 13-14 season, and they struggled in the League One last season. However, as a former Premier League team, they still ranked first in the League One with 87 points.
Of course, whether it is the British Championship or the League One, it is the same for Manchester United.
In this game, among the three newcomers, both Shen Peng and Ibrahimovic got the start, while Bailey sat on the bench.
Moreover, Shen Peng's appearance also made Martial a substitute. The latter was on the bench with an obviously unhappy expression.
When the referee blew the whistle for the game, everyone's attention was on the field. To be precise, most people's attention was on Shen Peng, wanting to see how this young standard king could perform.
