Chapter 1064 Tactical Discussion (Part 1)
After all these nonsense things have been dealt with, Sun Wu can finally face the next Champions League final with ease.
It is natural to invite the young talented players highlighted in the circle to watch the final. Back then, Sun Wu had just made a name for himself at Blackburn when he received an invitation from Liverpool to watch the Champions League final.
The reason why Sun Wu raised this topic at this time was more because of his position as football director. He had no intention of reaching out to other aspects, he just wanted to be justified.
When discussing with San Dezi, Sun Wu only proposed the candidate to replace the football director. Now this guy is reaching out everywhere. He once made trouble on the transfer of Salah, but they did not expect that in the end the Glazer brothers decided to let Sun Wu also serves as director of football.
After Wenger has officially left Arsenal, Sun Wu has become the only remaining football manager in the Premier League. All matters related to sports are within his scope of authority.
On May 26, in the large conference room, Sun Wu held the last plenary tactical seminar before the game.
First, Sun Wu announced the starting list and substitute list for the final.
"Goalkeeper De Gea, defense Pavard, Van Dijk, Alderweireld, Lucas." Mike Phelan glanced at Sun Wu and continued: "Midfielder Kante, Best, Frye Che, Harry Kane, Griezmann and Salah in the forward line.”
Everyone was a little surprised, but it is understandable after thinking about it. Except for the goalkeeper, only Alderweireld, Best, and Griezmann in the starting lineup have experience in the Champions League finals. Letting Fletcher play is more of a role. The role of stabilizing military morale.
But Sun Wu didn't think so. At least in the first half, Fletcher will be a very important tactical piece.
"On the bench, goalkeeper Romero, defense Rojo and Phil Jones, midfielders Fabinho and Herrera, forwards Falcao, Mane and Bernardo Silva."
As Mike Phelan spit out the last name, Milner and Coleman were okay, but the faces of Luke Shaw, Lingard and others were full of frustration.
There are only 18 players on the final list. Which players to kick out is a very cruel question for the coaching staff. You must know how many world-class stars such as Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic have not been able to participate in a Champions League final.
Rojo was chosen because of his ability to score from both sides, and it was for this reason that Luke Shaw was dropped.
Fabinho was chosen because he can not only play as a defensive midfielder, central midfielder, but also as a central defender.
If Herrera comes on as a substitute, he can bring more possession of the ball to Manchester United's midfield. Phil Jones was selected because he has played as a defensive midfielder and right back.
The loss of Coleman and Milner is more because Sun Wu hopes to put more attackers on the bench. Falcao is Manchester United's top scorer in the Champions League. Mane is the one Sun Wu is least likely to give up. Bernardo ·The different tactical characteristics of Silva and the other two attackers made Sun Wu unable to bear to let go.
"Ahem." Sun Wu stood up and stood in front of the tactical board. "We don't know Real Madrid's starting lineup yet, but I guess there won't be much deviation. The defense is Carvajal, Marcelo, Ramos, and... One position should be Pepe, he has been speaking out these days."
There was a low laugh below. In fact, Pepe has not played many starts this season. If Varane was not injured, he would not be able to get his turn. Yesterday and today, Pepe was very confident when he was interviewed by reporters several times, claiming that no matter where Real Madrid starts, From all aspects, it has great advantages.
If he couldn't start, he probably wouldn't be so public.
"Pepe is a place that can be exploited, but although he is 33 years old, his physical fitness is still very good, his confrontation ability is very strong, and he is rich in experience." Sun Wu looked at Griezmann and Harry Kane, "Pepe Its weakness is that its mobility has dropped significantly, and its explosive power has also dropped, so you need to change speeds and directions more often when entering the penalty area."
Griezmann nodded, "The quality of the grass is very good. I tried it and it's no problem when I step on it."
"Ramos is a troublesome guy." Sun Wu vigorously clicked on the white chess piece No. 4 on the tactical board. "He has great defensive moves, very explosive power, and is very fierce in attacking. His weakness is his advantage. , because he likes to grab, Ramos has a wide range of movement, and the gap behind him can be exploited."
Sun Wu looked at Harry Kane and said, "Salah has a heavy task in this game. It is your task to find the gap behind Ramos."
Harry Kane nodded silently, thinking in his mind to go back and study Ramos' defensive highlights.
"Carvajal is a right back who is capable of both offense and defense. Modric in front of him rarely assists on the wing when defending." Sun Wu paused, thought for a moment and continued: "Lucas and Gerry Zman, you should be able to deal with him and I hope you can find opportunities in the area between him and Pepe."
"Now it's Marcelo's turn. This is the focus of our attack." Sun Wu took off the white No. 12 chess piece. "Strong offense and weak defense are just appearances. Marcelo's biggest problem is that he is easily out of position."
"Video analysts have compiled relevant data. When Real Madrid steals the ball in the backcourt and counterattacks, Marcelo is a very important point for the ball. The range of forward penetration is very large. This is not only because of his strong desire to attack, but also because of his strong desire to attack. Defensive habits and methods have a lot to do with it.”
"When the opponent's right winger drops back to catch the ball, Marcelo will often come up to catch the ball. Once the ball is intercepted, he immediately launches a counterattack. He has a strong breakthrough ability."
"But the gap behind Marcelo will be very large. At this time, if the opponent's right back and right midfielder press forward at the same time, Ramos will be called out. If the ball can be distributed in time, the gap in Real Madrid's backcourt will be Very big."
Sun Wu placed the No. 12 chess piece in the center line. "So, Salah, your task is very heavy in this game. You have to keep dropping back to catch the ball. Coleman, Kanter and even Alderweirer." Germany will give you a through ball."
"And Pavard and I will choose the opportunity to get behind you and Marcelo." Sun Wu looked at Pavard, "Don't stick to the ball and get the ball out as soon as possible. Kroos should be the starter in Real Madrid's left midfield. He is defensively He has good skills, and because he has to play the role of dispatching long passes, his position will not be too far forward."
Sun Wu paused and quickly rearranged the chess pieces representing Real Madrid's formation. "Real Madrid usually uses a 4141 formation when defending without the ball, but Modric has a large range of movement and will adjust his position according to the opponent's attack focus."
"In addition, Benzema is at the front, but when defending, he often appears on the wing, and Ronaldo changes positions and becomes a free man." Sun Wu turned his head and looked at Kanter, "Real Madrid is counterattacking or positioning During the game, Benzema and Ronaldo will change positions frequently."
"Kante, if Ronaldo enters the penalty area, you don't have to worry about it. Leave it to Van Dijk, Alderweireld and Lucas. If Ronaldo is outside the penalty area, you need to beware of his long shots and acceleration."
"Okay, we'll talk about this later. Let's talk about offense first." Sun Wu emphasized, "After the opening, we will press high."
The silence below surprised Sun Wu, who had expected to have objections. He underestimated his authority in the team. 22 consecutive wins and a 10-1 bloodbath against Liverpool gave him complete control over this Manchester United team.
