Chapter 155: New Official Takes Office

Arteta hardly got any rest time and was directly at work.

The three of them went directly to the training base.

Mourinho extended an invitation to the meeting.

This meeting mainly focused on the club's senior management and coaching positions, and discussed Arsenal's lineup for next season and transfers/transfers in the summer window.

In the conference room, David Dein, Martinez and the Arsenal management were all in place.

After all, it was the first meeting proposed by Mourinho, and they also need to pay attention.

The entire conference room was quiet. Arteta quickly got into the mood, helped Mourinho organize the materials, and observed the situation in the entire conference room.

The atmosphere was somewhat serious and solemn.

Arsenal's performance last season was not good and they even lost their Champions League qualification. Therefore, they urgently need to make a change next season in order to win back the support of the fans.

Otherwise, head coach changes and team reorganization issues will become criticism.

Therefore, this meeting is crucial.

After Arteta finished sorting the documents, Mourinho walked up to the front desk and said loudly: "My name is Jose Mourinho. I don't think I need to introduce myself too much."

Mourinho spoke confidently, and this is also true. As a football worker, no one does not know Mourinho.

Mourinho nodded and said, "Then let's get straight to the point!"

"The first is the lineup composition and style changes next season. I need to clearly inform everyone that Arsenal will not continue to play beautiful football!"

Mourinho dropped a big bomb.

He stated that he would eliminate Arsenal under Wenger's style and rebuild a brand new club.

In this regard, some management who are accustomed to this style are still quite resistant.

But before they could speak, David Dein said: "There is no problem with this. We don't want the recognized head coach to be just a substitute for Arsene. You need your own style, and Arsenal will fully cooperate with you!"

David Dein's support silenced those managers who had some objections.

This is a clear support for Mourinho. If you join in at this time, you will be the first to shoot.

Mourinho nodded; "Of course, our absolute core will still be Kai!"

Hearing this, the management who were a little uncomfortable suddenly felt relieved.

As long as you recognize Kai and our captain, then we will be good friends.

"The lineup for the new season is composed of Kai as the core, and the transfer will be the same. In my vision, Arsenal in the new season will be an iron-blooded army. They will play more decisively, be braver, and be more courageous." Positive!”

"And it's all going to revolve around Kai, who is the heart, soul and spiritual leader of this team, and I'm going to squeeze the best out of him."

Having said this, Mourinho raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand: "Gentlemen and ladies, we are lucky, aren't we? We have the best midfielder in the world!"

hahahahahahahaha!

Laughter burst into the conference room.

Lucky's influence and love in Arsenal determined that Mourinho's words quickly made the other party accept him.

This is something Mourinho did deliberately, wanting to shorten the distance and create a feeling that we are in the same group.

Despite Mourinho's arrogant personality, he is not a fool.

It is important to have a good relationship with management and senior management.

After determining the core issues and consistency in the general direction, Mourinho began to elaborate on the details.

"First of all, in terms of transfers, we will sell many players this season, including main center Suarez, main winger Sanchez, main defenders Mustafi, Gibbs, and Flamini."

Mourinho read out a long list of quotas, which represent Arsenal's determination to reorganize and clean up.

"In terms of transfers, in order to maximize Kai's ability, I prefer Mahrez on the wing. This player has performed very well this season, although Guardiola's Manchester City is also paying attention to him, but we There’s a chance, right?”

"The center is also the key. Suarez's departure is not entirely a bad thing. Although he is a very good player, in fact, he is not a very good choice in my lineup for next season!"

"So, our choice is him!"

A strong black figure appears in the ppt lens.

The player is wearing an Everton jersey and has a huge build.

Seeing this player, Arsenal's senior management was also slightly stunned.

Martinez was even more surprised: "Everton's Lukaku? I admit that he is an excellent player, but is he really qualified for this job?"

Lukaku is a very strange player.

Although he obviously has a strong body, he resists physical confrontation and always wants to use speed or skills to overcome others.

It even has the silly name of a combination of "one high and one fast".

Lukaku, who is 191 centimeters tall and weighs 103 kilograms, should be the 'tall' one, but unfortunately, he is the 'fast' one.

Even at Everton, he didn't change the problem.

So, can Mourinho really change Lukaku?

Regarding this issue, Mourinho smiled and said; "It's not me who makes the changes, but the team who makes him make the changes. I said that Kai is a magical player, and he is always surrounded by a group of people who want to compete. Championship player, so Kai will change him!"

"But he won't be cheap, right?" David Dein said: "We can't spend all of Suarez's transfer fee on him. One is the Premier League Golden Boot, and the other you know what I mean!"

Mourinho nodded and said; "I know, so my bottom line is 50 million euros. At the same time, I will contact Lukaku. I believe he also hopes to join a more competitive team!"

David Dein nodded and said, "Where's the defense?"

This is the most critical question.

Arsenal's poor defense has always been a criticism.

Mourinho, who pays most attention to defense, will obviously make adjustments to this.

"My original plan was Kerry from Atletico Madrid. This is Kerry's national team teammate, and his ability is obvious to all. However, Atletico Madrid obviously had no intention of letting him go, so we settled for the next best option. Our goal was Jimenez. !”

"That Uruguayan player?" an executive frowned; "He is a substitute at Atletico Madrid, and he is easily injured!"

Mourinho nodded and said; "Atletico Madrid's style determines the way they play, so it is easy to cause injuries, but we are different. Arsenal has a strong midfield defensive line, which can provide protection for Jimenez. Moreover, Jimenez’s rushing ability and speed advantage can give the defense line enough buffer space and combat effectiveness!”

"And he's cheap!"

In the German transfer market, Jimenez is worth 20 million euros this season. This is a good opportunity to win this player.

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

"There are also full-backs. There are currently no good options. We still need to observe and see if there are better players entering the transfer market. We need players who have defensive stability and can participate in the offense. , Bellerin is a good choice, but he still needs to grow!”

"The next step is rotation and substitute lineup."

The meeting lasted for three hours, and everyone was concentrating on the discussion.

Salary and financial expenditure issues have also entered the discussion.

Although Mourinho has not yet obtained the transfer rights and is still within the scope of an inspection period, they can feel that Mourinho is really serious about building the team's lineup.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting ended.

Dismiss everyone!

Arteta touched his belly and said, "Sir, it's time for us to eat something!"

Mourinho shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry yet. You go to eat first. After eating, we will go out."

The big boss didn't want to eat, so he had no idea.

"Then let's go directly. Actually, I'm not particularly hungry!"

Arteta said.

Mourinho nodded, turned to ask; "Is Kai still in London?"

Hearing this, Arteta said; "During the holidays, he will train alone most of the time. He almost never goes on vacation. I feel that he should still be in London. Let's go and see?"

Mourinho said: "Okay, it's time for us to visit the captain."

Whether Mourinho can integrate into the team is the most critical issue.

Only with Lucky's support can Mourinho's plan be carried out smoothly!
