Chapter 737, The Art of Team Building

In recent days, Umtiti has been very slack in training. Not only did he often quarrel with the coach, but he also had conflicts with the good-tempered Scholes. However, he didn't take these things to heart, because he was dreaming of joining Barcelona. As long as he continues to make trouble at Manchester United, the possibility of him joining Barcelona will be even greater.

But on the second day, he received a message and was stunned!

He was really sent to the reserve team!

Jin Taige actually played with him for real!

Umtiti directly questioned Jin Taige: "Coach Tiger, why was I sent to the reserve team?"

Jin Taige watched the players training on the field without looking back: "Your state has been fluctuating recently, and you need to go to the reserve team to adjust."

"But I think I'm fine!"

At this time, Jin Taige turned around slowly, and he said word by word: "I am the head coach of the team! I said you have a problem, and you have a problem!"

This sentence made Umtiti speechless. After a long time, he spit out a sentence: "I want to ask for leave!"

"It's up to you. But you don't need to tell me this, you can go directly to the coach of the reserve team to ask for leave."

Umtiti left the first-team training field aggressively, and the Manchester United players who were running circles on the field were also talking about it.

Alonso poked Griezmann: "Anthony, you seem a little manic."

Griezmann shook his head: "This guy wants to join Barcelona, ​​which is understandable. But it seems a bit irrational to have a fight with the club."

Fekir asked Martial in a low voice: "The boss won't blame us because Umtiti is French."

Martial shook his head: "It shouldn't be. There are too many Frenchmen in our team. How can we vent our anger?"

Kanter said honestly: "The boss is a good guy, this time it's Umtiti's fault."

On the sidelines, Scholes and Kintag were chatting about the team.

Jin Taige drove Umtiti away, and he felt much better: "If this guy stays in the team, he will definitely be a bomb. Not only will he blow up himself, but he may also blow up others."

"You're right, this kind of player can save a lot of trouble if he leaves one day earlier, but," Scholes paused, he was a little worried, "Umtiti is French, and there are many players in the Manchester United team. Less French, they won't think about you because of Umtiti's matter?"

Jin Taige shook his head: "Umtiti has just joined Manchester United for a year, and he has no prestige in the team. He will not affect the team. But I have indeed considered the issue you mentioned. I am going to promote a French player as the team's fourth captain and let him handle the relationship with the French players in the team."

After today's training ended, Kintiger specially held a small meeting for the whole team, and he officially announced: Griezmann was promoted to the team's fourth captain!

This appointment surprised and deserved the whole team. Wearing Manchester United's glorious No. 7 jersey, Griezmann has already proved his worth. His strength is unquestionable, and his lively and cheerful personality can often get along with the players. And his French identity is also one of the reasons why he can become the fourth captain.

In the Manchester United team, not including Mbappé who is on loan,

There are seven French players in the first team: Griezmann, Dembele, Martial, Fekir, Kante, Mendy and Pavard. Of course, Umtiti had been excluded by Jin Taige long ago. Among these players, Griezmann and Kanter are the absolute main players, and other players are also important rotation players. French players have a high status at Manchester United.

And Manchester United has had many very good French players since history. Cantona, Blanco, Barthez, Sylvester, etc., these players have helped Manchester United bring one championship after another, and under the rule of Kintag, the tradition of reusing French players has continued.

The French team performed very well in the European Cup this year. Many players in their 23-man squad are from Manchester United. Griezmann, Kanter, Martial, Fekir, and Mendy are the main players of the French team; Dembele also got several opportunities to play and performed well. Therefore, many outside media are discussing that the French team's achievements today have a lot to do with Kim Tag's training.

During the European Cup, Kintag was a guest commentator in France. Didier Deschamps even personally invited him to the French team for some technical exchanges, focusing on the team's tactical play and the use of players. These have helped Deschamps a lot.

In addition, Manchester United is an English team after all, and the local players in their team are also very important and indispensable. There are 7 English players in Manchester United's first team in the new season: Captain Carrick, Alli, Lingard, Ashley Young, Maguire, Smalling and Jones. These players are very young, and they also performed well in the European Cup group stage. But after reaching the quarter-finals, they unexpectedly lost to Iceland, which was a big upset.

After the game, England coach Hodgson was also forced to leave. Gareth Southgate has been appointed as the new manager of the England national team.

When Kintag was managing the team, he paid close attention to the relatively large number of English and French players. He absolutely does not allow any small groups of players such as the "England Gang" and "French Gang" to appear on the team. It's okay for several players to be close, but if they join forces to make trouble, then Jin Taige will be severely punished every time he finds out!

Therefore, Kintag also appointed Valencia and Van Dijk as the second and third captains of the team. The two are Ecuadorian and Dutch respectively, and they also act as buffers and bridges in the team.

As of now, there has never been a discordant voice in the Manchester United team. Therefore, if a certain player has a problem, Jin Taige must deal with it as soon as possible, so as not to let the time expand.

On the third day after Umtiti was placed under the reserve team, Barcelona finally lost their composure. In several consecutive rounds of tug-of-war with Woodward, they finally lost. Barcelona finally bid 55 million euros to take Umtiti away from Manchester United.

On the day Umtiti left Manchester United, when he walked out of the club's office building, he kicked the club's door severely to express his vent and dissatisfaction.

But it was this foot that made him break the toe of his right foot. Just after joining Barcelona, ​​​​he began to recover from his injury, and this time he recovered from his injury for as long as two months.

This incident also made Umtiti the biggest laughing stock in international football in recent times.
