By seeing a chess player, and the calmness of those who know how to wait for the right move, Brian Mibuimo dealt with one of the most complicated summer deals, while Manchester United and Burntford were conflict about the value of his transfer. As the differences between the two clubs escalated, the Cameroonian player maintained his confidence that the pieces will fall in their right place.
According to the “Athletic” network, he says in his first dialogue with the media since joining Manchester United: “I always trust those around me. The transfer window may be long or short, so you should be patient and think positively. I was on vacation, I just tried to rest mentally and physically, and I was convinced that the deal would take place. ”
“Manchester is a big club. I see it as a great opportunity. I am a person who loves challenges, and there is a great project in Manchester, and I wanted to be part of it. ”
Despite Tottenham’s interest in the leadership of his former coach, Thomas Franch, along with Newcastle United, Mibuimo found in the conversation of coach Robin Amorim what he is looking for.
“We are people who love winning, and we want to be the best. It was a friendly conversation. Explain his project, and what he aspires to, and I found myself attracted to that. I spoke to other coaches, but the Manchester United project was best for me. ”
“To play on the greatest theaters in the world is a dream, and the Old Trafford stadium is one of them,” he added. To be there every two weeks is great. ”
Andre Unana, his Cameroon teammate, played an important role: “I spoke to him. I wanted to come. It is great to have a player like him next to you. ”
The offers from United started with 45 million pounds + 10 million incentives, then reached 65 million + 6 million, and the negotiations lasted 44 days until the deal was decided. During this period, Mabweimo informed his former club of his explicit desire to move to Manchester, and repeated his position upon his return to training on July 14.
Despite his involvement in some fitness sessions in the gym, he did not participate in any field exercises with Printford, which made him two weeks late in the readiness compared to his new colleagues who returned to Carrington on July 7.
He will not participate in the two friendly matches against West Ham and Bournemouth on the American tour, while Amorim hopes to participate in the last meeting against Everton.
Away from the ball, Mibuimo appears as a hustle and bustle than his new teammate Matthewy Konia. Chess appears to be its mirror in life: “Chess is not a physical sport, but it requires a lot of thinking. I am not a professional, but I am following videos and training on how to play. I was obsessed for a while, and I found it very useful for the mind. I am thinking of watching Magnus Carlsen chess legend. Sometimes I play online with a pseudonym. I heard that Josh Zerkzi also plays, we may start competition! ”
On the field, Mabimo has great flexibility. In Berostford, he played at the right wing center in the 4-3-3 plan, or at the second striker’s center on 3 – 5 – 2. With United, it is expected to operate the center “No. 10 to the right” in the Amorem system 3 – 4 – 2 – 1, with the possibility of switching with Emad or even playing in the right -back position when needed.
“Now in football, you should be able to play in more than one position. I am used to that, I played in the center of the wing, a playmaker, and played a attacker. Each season is different, and I am ready to adapt. ”
Mabweimo scored 20 goals in the Premier League last season, and he hopes to build on this: “As a attacker, I always want to leave a mark, whether by scoring or making goals. I do not like to set limits for myself, I am very demanding for myself, and I seek to be better every day. ”
But when it comes to playing the piano, the quiet star is completely different: “The piano is completely far from football, but it helps me to relax. I do not like playing in front of people. Even if in front of my friends, I feel nervous. I taught myself, and I am not bad, but I do not know if I will play cut in the acquaintance session with the team. Perhaps, we will see. ”
Mbuimo is looking to absorb the ideas of coach Robin Amorim, who is known for his style of construction from the back and accuracy in concentration. With the team’s need to increase the scoring yield this season, Mapuimo will have an opportunity to demonstrate that it is the right deal at the right time.
He concluded by saying: «In Princeford, we believed that we were able to win any match. We did not fear the names of competitors. This is what I want to communicate here. ”
