Chapter 577 Welcome, Jose!
PS: This is a 121,000-recommended update. The next time I add it is a 124,000-recommended update, well, that's it.
Of course, if Ronaldo wants to become a real superstar, it is far from enough to get a double-producer once. Ronaldo must also show more stable performance in the future to convince fans. After all, superstars rely on their years of stable and outstanding performance on the court and the honors of some top events gradually settled.
If the aliens cannot do this, he will become a meteor above international football, just like Belanov and George Wea, who is now.
Just when people who care about football around the world were discussing the big event of Ronaldo winning the double-header, Barcelona, the capital of the Catalonia region of Spain, had an insignificant little character worried about his future livelihood.
"Jose, I'm sorry, you were fired. From today on, you are no longer a member of the Barcelona club." With Van Gaal's cold voice, the middle-aged man named Jose silently walked out of the Barcelona coach's office, returned to his house to pack up his belongings, tied it into a parcel and walked out of the place where he had worked for a year and a half.
"I was fired like this..." Mourinho murmured to himself while carrying his bag towards the gate.
From being a mere translator around Robson, to becoming the right-hand man who relied on the famous coach, to the distrust of the new coach Van Gaal and even publicly exclusion, to being fired by Barcelona, Mourinho can be said to have tasted all the ups and downs in just five years.
Mourinho couldn't understand. Didn't he just say more about Van Gaal's side to pay attention to defense and spend more training time to build a complete defensive system? Why did this cause the Dutch coach to be furious and even run to the club's senior management to make a big fuss, claiming that "if I still want me to stay in Barcelona to coach, I must drive away this assistant coach from Portugal."
Of course, the young Portuguese didn't know that whenever Van Gaal saw Mourinho running to remind him to pay attention to the team's defense, the Dutch coach would always subconsciously think that Mourinho was ridiculed by the Fiorentina Sea in the final of the European Super Cup.
God is pitiful, Mourinho didn't think of this. He just felt that the team's current defensive system was very unstable, so he reminded Van Gaal for the sake of the assistant coach, hoping that the head coach can strengthen the team's defensive ability. At least in terms of preventing the opponent's rapid counterattack, there should be improvements. There should be no more like the European Super Cup, where a single strike can be created.
No matter how strong the attack power is, if the defense is not strong, it will be no different from building a castle on the sand. Mourinho has always believed that.
Although Van Gaal is an excellent head coach, the biggest obstacle to becoming a top coach is his overly tough and ignorant personality, and Mourinho is also the kind of person who will insist on his own opinions without being persuaded. Therefore, the Portuguese violated the taboo of this hard-line Dutch coach.
So, Mourinho was fired.
Perhaps, I should consider returning to my hometown Portugal, finding a small football there to start my head coaching career, integrating the experience and theoretical knowledge I have learned from Robson and Van Gaal over the years, and then jumping to a stronger club to coach after making a name for themselves. Going forward step by step, there will always be a day to make a comeback. Mourinho, carrying his luggage, thought in his heart.
Just as Mourinho was thinking about returning to his hometown in Portugal to find a job as a head coach to support his family, a man's voice came into his ears: "May I ask, you are Mr. Jose Mourinho, right?"
Hearing someone greeting him, Mourinho looked up and was immediately startled by the identity of the visitor: "Mr. Chairman Corleon? Why did you appear here?"
"Haha, I didn't expect you to recognize me, Coach Mourinho." Zhuang Mingge seemed very happy to see Mourinho's surprised expression. "This way, I won't be able to introduce myself. I'm here to Barcelona to do something."
"Haha, as the chairman of the top wealthy family in Florence, it may not be easy for Mr. Corleone to hide his identity." Although he was in a bad mood because he was just fired, Mourinho still smiled and said to Zhuang Mingge, "I wonder what it is worth to do when Mr. Chairman is coming from afar? Chairman Nunes's office is on the top floor of this building, you can see it at a glance."
"Well, coach Mourinho, why don't you do me a favor and be a temporary tour guide, so that I can't ask for directions again after a while." Zhuang Mingge said, thinking that this time it was for you, so I can take you there and save you from going to another trip later.
"Chairman Corleon, don't call me coach." Mourinho smiled bitterly and raised the package in his hand, looked at Zhuang Mingge, and then said, "Half an hour ago, I was fired by the club. Now I am unemployed and no longer an assistant coach in Barcelona."
"Huh?" Zhuang Mingge suddenly widened his eyes and asked again in an uncertain tone, "Coach Mourinho, you, you said you were just fired by Barcelona?"
What's going on! History is completely messy! I clearly remember Mourinho resigned together when Van Gaal stepped down as Barcelona coach? Why did the Dutch man just took office for half a year and the person here was laid off?
Noting Zhuang Mingge's inquiring eyes, Mourinho had to tell the other party about the reason why he was fired by Barcelona. After all, this matter was not very glorious, so the Portuguese just briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter without explaining it in too detailed.
"Anyway, that guy Van Gaal thought you were Mr. Robson's confidant at first, so he didn't value you. Later, when you mentioned him a few times to pay attention to defense, he asked the upper level to fire you?"
"Uh, maybe that's right."
"Mr. Mourinho, since you no longer work in Barcelona..." Speaking of this, Zhuang Mingge stared at the Portuguese with a seriousness in his eyes, "Are you interested in working in our coaching staff in Florence?"
"……What?"
"I said, do you want to come to Florence to be the assistant coach of Coach Capello?" Zhuang Mingge said with a smile. He found that he liked to see Mourinho surprised. "Coach Capello and I think you have this ability."
"Oh..." Mourinho hesitated for a moment, sighed and made a decision, "Okay, I promise you that from today on, you will be my new boss!"
"Welcome, Jose!" As he said that, Zhuang Mingge reached out and congratulated Mourinho on his arrival.
