Chapter 1048 Best Era
May 11th.
Old Trafford.
The announcer drawled, "Now it's our hero's turn!"
There were thunderous shouts in the stands, countless flags and scarves flying in the air, and the captured faces of Manchester United fans flashed on the big screen.
An old man with gray hair but a flushed face, a young man waving his scarf excitedly, a middle-aged man with a big belly, and a teenager holding up the No. 7 jersey with both hands.
And Ferguson, David Gill, Roy Keane, Gary Neville, Scholes...
In the end, the camera focused on the face of a three- or four-year-old child with blank eyes and ears covered. The father holding the child held the child in one hand and waved it vigorously with the other hand, singing loudly with his wife beside him.
"Look, our child grew up with the Red Devils, he is lucky!"
The chaotic shouts gradually became unified, loud and neat applause broke out, and the Tottenham players standing on both sides of the stadium channel also applauded.
The first one to walk out of the tunnel was Griezmann. Since Sun Wu became the captain, he has always been the last to appear as an ace, but today he was at the front.
Then came De Gea, who served as vice-captain, and Fletcher, the oldest veteran...
When Sun Wu was the last one to walk out of the tunnel, the already loud applause rose again, and the shouts became chaotic again. The shouts of King and Best made the whole audience boil.
After winning two league titles and a Champions League title, Pochettino retreated decisively, and all the heavy responsibilities fell on Sun Wu, who was brave and willing to step forward.
As the season came to an end, the Chinese-American player handed over an answer that stunned everyone.
The longest 22-game winning streak in the history of the Premier League, a terrifying record of 32 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in 36 games, totaling 99 points. Of course, what made the fans so crazy was the 10-1 super score.
Countless world-class coaches such as Guardiola, Klopp, Conte, Wenger, Pochettino and Heynckes bowed before him, and countless giants are eager to defeat the Red Devils.
Only Klopp did it, but then Sun Wu gave him a gift that put him and Liverpool on the pillar of shame.
He has won the league championship. This is the third three consecutive championships in the Premier League era. The first two were by Ferguson, and this time the last one was by Sun Wu.
There is also the FA Cup champion, the Big Ear Cup, and the Triple Crown waiting ahead...
"The Times" can't wait to announce that Manchester United has officially entered the Best era.
Staying at the entrance of the players' tunnel for a moment, Sun Wu raised his hands high to thank the fans, then slowly moved forward, high-fiving the Tottenham players lined up on both sides with his hands.
Sun Wu is very familiar with this Tottenham team. For example, Januzaj and Lukaku all transferred from Manchester United, and Vertonghen, Rose, and Lloris are all old Tottenham players from the Guardiola era. , as well as Son Heung-min and Ali who have been in contact with Sun Wu.
Of course, what Sun Wu is most familiar with is Mauricio Pochettino, who stands at the back and waits silently.
"Well done." Pochettino took the initiative to take a step forward and hugged Sun Wu. "Although he came here after one league after another, I still can't believe it now."
Sun Wu's eyes flickered but there was a smile on his face.
"Thanks."
Thanks to Chelsea's Hazard, many people agree with this view. Pochettino in the first two seasons was actually a puppet that Sun Wu found for himself. Although the two people have never openly had any estrangement reported by the media, Pochettino's early announcement of his departure this time last year proved this.
Former Manchester United CEO David Gill, who is now the vice president of World Football Federation, also indirectly admitted this matter in an interview. When he selected the next coach for the team, he solemnly discussed it with Ferguson and Best. .
In fact, this rumor has already appeared in the media.
Sun Wu served as an assistant coach three years ago. While assisting Pochettino in cleaning up Robin van Persie, Rooney, and Nani, he brought friends such as Griezmann and Thomas Muller to Manchester United, and then single-handedly selected Mane, Coleman, Kante, Harry Kane, and maintain good relationships with veterans such as Fletcher and De Gea.
Last summer, Sun Wu decisively kicked out Schneiderlin, Lukaku, Januzaj and other direct descendants of Pochettino, purged veterans such as Valencia and Ashley Young, and then brought in seven A new player with little reputation.
After a 22-game winning streak, Sun Wu's position in Manchester United has become unbreakable. After winning the league championship and sweeping his arch-rival Liverpool 10-1, the club will consider it carefully even if he falls out with Sandoku.
It can be said that Sun Wu started the layout three years ago and everything was proceeding step by step, and Pochettino already knew it well at this time last year.
The two hugged each other for a long time in front of the camera... The Manchester United fans were very moved, and the players on both sides felt strange. No one was a fool. Everyone knew why Lukaku and Januzaj came to Tottenham.
"This round of rematch should have been a key event that affected the championship, but because Manchester City stumbled in the last round, this game became useless." Zhan Jun smiled and said to his partner: "However, the head coaches of both sides will take advantage of the opportunity. This is an opportunity to observe the opponent's status, after all, they will play the FA Cup final on May 22."
"Hey, observing the status?" Zhang Lu chuckled, "Judging from the starting list, Sun Wu may complete the task, but Pochettino is hard to say."
Well, that's true.
Tottenham does not have the depth of the bench like Manchester United. Players in many positions are irreplaceable. Moreover, Manchester United currently has 99 points. Even if they want to surpass the 100 level, there is still one league round ahead.
And Tottenham cannot lose. They need to get at least 1 point to maintain their 3-point advantage over Chelsea. Otherwise, the 2-point advantage may lead to a comeback in the last round of the league, because Tottenham faced the tough Ever in the last round. pause.
Therefore, Tottenham’s starting lineup is basically the main players. The front three is Lukaku, Alli and Son Heung-min, the midfield is Wanyama, Dembele and Eriksen, and the defense is Trippier, Blinder, Vertonghen, Ross.
As for Manchester United, it's a bit... When Pochettino saw the list an hour ago, he was relieved at first, and then got angry.
It’s okay if Sun Wu himself doesn’t play, it’s okay if the defense is significantly adjusted, it’s okay if both wingers have Lingard and Milner as guest stars, and it’s okay if Fletcher and Herrera play in the midfield. , anyway, your Manchester United bench is very deep...
Manchester United's starting goalkeeper is actually Romero. The Argentine national goalkeeper has only played in the first two rounds of the League Cup and FA Cup this season.
The starting center is actually Rashford, who has the least presence in the first team.
On the one hand, Pochettino is delighted that Sun Wu is letting things slip, and Tottenham's fight for fourth place can be said to be secure.
But on the other hand, Pochettino feels that Sun Wu is too stingy. What kind of backup should be left in such a game? Can you play well in the FA Cup final?
