Chapter 1061 Arriving in Milan

On the day they were about to fly to Milan, Italy, Manchester United held a brief press conference on the morning of May 24 to announce the signing of a new five-year contract with Sun Wu and the coaching team. Sun Wu’s annual salary is as high as 15 million euros. , ranked second in the world after Guardiola.

The media didn't have much feeling about this except for the big reports. 22 consecutive league wins, league championship, FA Cup championship, Club World Cup championship, and reaching the Champions League final. Such a record deserves a high-standard new contract. .

In the afternoon of the same day, the entire Manchester United team flew to Milan. The 24-man Champions League roster has been released, and all Real Madrid first-team players have been selected. In fact, there are only 23 players in the Real Madrid first-team team.

Manchester United needed to deduct someone. In the end, Sun Wu screened out Rashford, who came from Manchester United's local youth training. He has been confirmed to be loaned out to play games next season. Manchester United's current attackers are too strong and too many. Mane can't even get a stable starting position.

Sun Wu is very familiar with this Real Madrid team, very, very familiar with it, because he knows that starting from this Champions League championship, Zidane led Real Madrid to start a three consecutive championships that stunned countless people.

Therefore, since the beginning of the season, Sun Wu has studied every Real Madrid game carefully, but the more he watched, the more he thought... the more confused his mind became. Qi Xuanzong really didn't have anything surprising in his tactics.

In general, Zidane's Real Madrid pays attention to the balance of offense and defense, and there are no weaknesses in any position. Defensively, Navas has completely secured his main position this season. Casillas has been sold off, and center back Ramos will definitely Occupying one main position, Varane and Pepe compete for the other position, but the former is said to be injured.

The combination of the top and middle in the offense is very good. Cross and Modric's mid-to-long pass scheduling is very important. Marcelo and Carvajal on both wings have excellent personal abilities.

Of course, the most important thing is that the frontcourt is BBC.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored 36 league goals this season. Although he failed to win the top scorer, he sent 15 assists, which was a new high in assists since he came to Real Madrid.

Gareth Bale also performed phenomenally this season. Although he missed nearly three months due to a serious injury, he still produced 22 goals and 12 assists in all competitions.

But what Sun Wu values ​​​​most is Benzema, who has the lowest reputation and the lowest statistics in the BBC. Unbelievably, he has only 9 goals in the league this season and only 15 goals in all competitions...

This tall center may seem inconspicuous, but he is the most critical piece in Real Madrid's frontcourt offense. He drops back to catch the ball, supports from the side, and runs without the ball to open up space for his teammates. He does all the hard work in the offense. No regrets at all.

"Take a break, we'll be here soon." Rolf next to him saw that Sun Wu was still recording something in his notebook, "By the way, has Tony contacted you?"

"He vowed to take revenge." Sun Wu couldn't help laughing. Kroos spent a difficult time in Barcelona, ​​and then came to the Bernabeu Stadium, and then overpowered Pogba to become the absolute main force. He, Modric and Casse The midfield composed of Miro is one of the best in Europe.

But as for Kroos's words of revenge... Sun Wu couldn't hold back his words on the phone. From Leverkusen to Bayern Munich to Barcelona, ​​how many times has Kroos tried to take revenge, but unfortunately he never succeeded? .

Sun Wu has played against Real Madrid twice.

They were in the group stage of Schalke 04's second season and the quarter-finals of last season. In a total of four games, Sun Wu won two, drew two and lost none.

And in those two seasons, Sun Wu eventually led the team to lift the Big Ears Cup...

Looking down at the numbers on the tactical map drawn on his notebook, Sun Wu twisted his lips. He once had a few friends here, but unfortunately most of them disappeared from the friend list one after another.

For example, Cristiano Ronaldo disappeared from Sun Wu's friend list after Manchester United defeated Real Madrid 7-5 in the quarter-finals last season. Gareth Bale also disappeared with him.

Cross also disappeared, which happened after last year's Champions League final. In fact, it was not until yesterday that he contacted Sun Wu for the first time since then.

Still on Sun Wu's list of friends is his Tottenham partner Modric, who is also one of the Real Madrid players Sun Wu pays most attention to.

In a sense, Modric is a perfect midfielder. Whether it is a short pass or a medium or long pass, whether he is supporting the side or dribbling the ball in the middle, whether he is pushing forward to threaten the goal or retreating to control the rhythm, this Croatian The midfielder is top-notch, and he has that long-range shot that makes people's blood swell. He even has a very strong defensive level.

Unless one person travels long distances, even if it is Cristiano Ronaldo and Bell, if they want to have an outstanding appearance, they must be based on Modric. This Croatian is recognized by the Manchester United coaching staff as the most troublesome opponent.

Different from the match last season, now with Kroos, who has excellent organizational skills, Modric can free up his hands. He has a wide coverage on the court, and his position on the court can greatly show Qida's performance. internal tactical intentions.

"Best, put it away, it's about to land." Rolf bumped Sun Wu with his elbow, "We have been studying it for many days."

"Look, that's the San Siro Stadium." Mike Phelan pointed, "I really hope it's not that bad!"

Meazza and San Siro are actually the same stadium. Mike Phelan called it San Siro because of the second leg of the Champions League semi-final many years ago. Manchester United defeated Kaka 3-2 in the first leg, but in the second leg In the 0-3 defeat, the mud on the pitch caused the Manchester United players to suffer a lot.

Sun Wu's deepest impression of the Meazza Stadium in the Champions League final was the muddy turf. Many people believed that it was not a special lawn at all, but a "vegetable patch".

When Sun Wu played against Inter Milan and AC Milan in the Champions League group stage at Wolfsburg and Schalke 04 respectively, he experienced it personally... It was very bad. Sun Wu did not dare to accelerate in certain areas. Once he accelerated, he would fall down. That's all good, but you can sprain your ankle if you're not careful.

These two teams often achieve good results in home games in the Champions League. This piece of mud has contributed a lot, but later the two teams suffered more and more injuries, which was also due to this piece of mud. Given by the land.

But Sun Wu checked the information at the beginning of the season... no, after the Champions League final last season, and even asked someone to inquire about it.

The turf reconstruction plan started in 2013 at the Meazza Stadium. It is said that it is divided into three layers. The bottom layer is a fine sand drainage layer, the middle layer is a 5 cm artificial turf mixed with natural turf, and the top layer is 2 cm natural turf. The entire construction of the lawn took more than a year and was not completed until the end of 2014.

Sun Wu thought in his mind that the first thing after settling the accommodation was to go to the stadium and have a look. If he was not used to it, he would need to apply for more on-site adaptation time.
