Chapter 583 Run-In Period (1)

Although he has five or six years of professional career experience, although he has played hundreds of high-level games, and although he thinks he has a fearless heart, it is still difficult for Sun Wu to walk into the stadium wearing this No. 7 jersey. Restrain the excitement in my heart.

Blackburn is a lift, Wolfsburg and Schalke 04 are known as the Bundesliga giants but their results are very unstable, Tottenham is known as the strongest spoiler in the Premier League after Chelsea...

And Manchester United are the real giants.

The most important thing is that in Sun Wu's previous life, he would often watch Manchester United's games on TV and mobile phones every weekend in his previous life.

These are names that are familiar to us in previous lives, Pogba who changed the trajectory of his life, Lingard who entered the first team ahead of schedule, De Gea who is known as the third type of goalkeeper...

Coming to Old Trafford, Sun Wu has the expectation of pulling Manchester United from the bottom, and also has the ambition to make BEST and even the name Sun Wu the number 7 of Manchester United's BEST, but unfortunately, the start is not smooth.

Only 11 minutes into the game.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

"Swansea have scored first!" BBC commentator Mortensen shouted: "Manchester United are in big trouble!"

Although Sun Wu warned before the game, Ivory Coast striker Bernie was too fierce, and Evans almost hung on him, but Bernie rushed into the penalty area and sent a cross.

The old Ferdinand was about to make a clearance, but Michu, who advanced at high speed from the back row, sent the ball into the goal with a flying tackle.

Michu, with flowing blond hair and a ferocious face, ran towards the corner flag, with his right hand open beside his ear, making a listening gesture. The home fans in the stands of the Liberty Stadium were excitedly chanting the Spaniard's name.

"Leo, pay attention to that number 9." De Gea muttered dissatisfiedly, "Best clearly reminded me!"

Rio Ferdinand hung his head and said nothing. He didn't expect the Spaniard, who had been active in the midfield before, to insert into the penalty area so quickly, and so resolutely without hesitation.

Sun Wu glanced at Pochettino who was yelling anxiously on the sidelines, but didn't say anything... You must know that he and Pochettino are still in the running-in period.

However, this pair of partners is really good. Sun Wu faintly feels that although his ability has an upper limit and his playing style is limited, Bernie's ability to stand up and tackle key problems and Michu's ability to run in a wide range and shoot forward It has had a big impact on the Premier League.

"Best... At least until now, nothing special." Today's commentator Carragher said: "Look at the statistics, half an hour, no shots, no breakthroughs, no threatening passes, most of the passes are horizontal. Passes and returns, €75m... for a younger Carrick?"

Before Mortensen could speak, Luke Shaw was blocked forward and had to cross, and Sun Wu took the ball slowly...

At that moment, a strong and tall figure suddenly rushed up and bumped into Sun Wu without any politeness.

At that moment, Sun Wu suddenly quickened his rhythm, set his right foot on the lawn as the axis, and dodged the collision suddenly. The ball was pulled back.

"Haha, Shelvey missed nothing, look at Best..."

After getting rid of this difficult opponent, Sun Wu immediately sent the ball forward, and then advanced at a high speed. The ball is always much faster than running... Although Shelvey, who was in the air, was still half lying on the lawn, pulling the ball with his hands. Brake hard on the grass.

"Griezmann, wonderful cooperation...Best!"

"The gap on the right...timely pass, Valencia's cross... oh, Worm made the key save!"

After a series of running cooperation, Sun Wu sent the ball forward to Valencia's feet. Thomas Muller, who entered the penalty area, showed his misty running ability. Changed the line and rushed to the far corner, but the goalkeeper Worm stretched out his hand to block...

"Hernandez..." Zhan Jun shook his head and said, "Little pea two seasons ago should be able to complete the supplementary shot,

but……"

"Since Ferguson retired, Hernandez has basically had no chance." Zhang Lu added: "Either Moyes or Van Gaal don't like him."

Watching the ball roll out of the bottom line, Sun Wu glanced at the frustrated little pea... He was really willing to die!

According to the tactical deployment, when Valencia made a cross from the right, the contact points in the penalty area were highly targeted. Thomas Muller was usually at the front or at the penalty spot, and Griezmann was at the back or at the penalty spot. The restricted area line, and Xiaowandou is responsible for the middle.

But in the cross just now, Xiaopea rushed to the back point and grabbed a point with Griezmann. As a result, there were no Manchester United players around when Wurm dialed the ball, and finally missed the opportunity.

Seeing this scene, Sun Wu felt only irritated... Speaking of Xia Tian signings a lot, but this Manchester United has problems in all three lines.

The striker Griezmann has not yet fully adapted to the forward position. After all, Klose is too old. Thomas Muller has been quite rough in the past few years, while Hernandez and Welbeck are slightly weaker.

The midfielder Sun Wu and Pogba have always been uncoordinated, although the personal relationship is good.

Pogba wants to be a B2B midfielder, but in fact the so-called B2B midfielder has always been based on defense, and Pogba's defense is not good.

The defense Evans is an uncertain time bomb, and Ferdinand is too old to guarantee his status.

I have to say that what Sun Wu said before the game had ulterior motives.

However, Manchester United equalized before the end of the first half.

In the 41st minute, Valencia sent a corner kick, Michu made a header to clear the siege, and Sun Wu from the periphery grabbed the first spot and volleyed directly...

"Best... Let's kick the world wave..."

But Sun Wu's waving right foot fell gently. When the ball landed, he stepped on the ball with his right foot and swiped to the side to avoid Shelvey.

Then Sun Wu took a light step to the inside with his left foot.

Zhan Jun guessed lightly, "Cross?"

"I can also shoot..." Zhang Lu retorted.

Just when everyone was still guessing, Sun Wu, who had his back to the sideline, sent a diagonal ball with his left foot.

"Ooooh, Valencia!"

Valencia, who was ignored by the Swansea players, went forward at a high speed...Because it was not a short corner kick, Valencia ran back along the side after the corner kick was delivered, and this time it suddenly went back and received Sun Wu's accurate oblique ball Bigger than opponents expected.

This time the Ecuadorian player went straight into the penalty area, facing the block of defender Williams and sent the ball to the back point. Griezmann easily pushed and scored his first goal for Manchester United.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"Antoine Griezmann!"

"Antoine Griezmann, €11m transfer from Real Sociedad, scores Manchester United's first goal of the season!"

After running a few steps, Griezmann suddenly slammed on the brakes, shaking his head and starting his special phone call to celebrate.

"Jamie, Best still hasn't sent a threatening ball." Mortensen spread his hands and looked at Carragher.

The corner of Carragher's mouth twitched but he didn't say anything. The so-called threatening pass means that the pass can turn a teammate into a shot. Sun Wu's pass just now was indeed not a threatening pass, but everyone can see the power of the ball .

The referee soon blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the players of both teams returned to the locker room, but Griezmann's goal was repeatedly replayed on the big screen, to be precise, Sun Wu's kick was repeatedly replayed. pass the ball.

"In fact, similar passes are not uncommon in Sun Wu's career." Zhan Jun said with a smile: "It once appeared in Wolfsburg, and later it was more common in Schalke 04."

"I didn't observe the running position of my teammates at all in advance, and even the running route of my teammates was in the blind spot of Sun Wu's line of sight, but Sun Wu was always able to send very accurate passes." Zhang Lu added: "Generally speaking, this is called NoLookPass, pass without looking at the ball, but the German media don't call it that..."

"Best-style passing." Zhan Jun laughed, "Similarly, there are Best-style counterattacks, Best-style shots..."

"This all refers to Sun Wu's ability to make the most accurate predictions without having to observe his opponents. This is his talent."

"But it's a pity that in the past two years, there are very few opportunities to display this talent."

"This is mainly because of Guardiola's tactics." Zhang Lu explained in detail: "Guardiola's pass and control tactics first require accurate and safe control of the ball at his feet, and try to use the overall formation rather than individual ability to break the ball. The opponent is balanced, of course because he doesn't have Messi in his hands."

"And Sun Wu's passing without looking at the ball is risky. Guardiola asked him to avoid mistakes as much as possible, which also led to the rare best-style passing in the past two years."

"However, it's different now!"

...

Manchester United's dressing room was a bit quiet, with only Pochettino eloquently explaining the tactical arrangements for the second half.

But obviously, Boshuai, who has no Tottenham coaching experience, was a little uneasy. He didn't even replace Hernandez, who performed poorly in the first half, with Klose.

"Michael, you recover a little bit in the second half and help Leo." Pochettino hesitated for a while before saying this.

Carrick nodded and then glanced at Ferdinand. There is nothing wrong with that. Although the Spanish player is tall and wears the number 9, his position is very flexible. In the first half, he entered the penalty area several times to grab points. .

Paralyzed substitutions! Sun Wu complained in his heart, saying that Phil Jones and Smalling don't have to use Ferdinand to dry their hair. To deal with Michu, the most important thing is the speed of movement.

After arranging everything, Sun Wu and Pochettino walked to the corner.

"How about it?"

"There are a lot of questions..." Sun Wu paused for two seconds, then smiled wryly, "There are so many that I don't even know where to start!"

Pochettino touched his nose, "The most important thing?"

"The defensive midfielder needs to be supplemented." Sun Wu immediately said: "Carrick's defensive ability is too weak, Fellaini's speed is too slow, and I won't talk about the others..."

Pochettino sighed, "Actually, Carrick is a very good passer, a bit like Busquets..."

"But he doesn't have a wide range of activities, and he doesn't have the ability to move forward, and he can't be compared with Busquets." Sun Wu shook his head, "Busquets is not strong in frontal defense, but he is better than Carrick in terms of position selection. Much better, of course this excellence is placed in the Barcelona system."

Both Pochettino and Sun Wu saw the situation in the first half and understood in their hearts that the team lacks a defensive midfielder, or a defensive midfielder with relatively strong defensive ability.

This kind of midfielder is not unavailable in the market, but they are all expensive. Pochettino even went to try to ask Real Madrid. As a result, they put a high price of 25 million euros on Casemiro who is still in the B team...

The tactic of putting the front midfielder at the back has appeared for many years. Even outside La Masia, there are famous players such as Pirlo, Harvey Alonso, and Shaheen. Even in the Premier League, there are Carrick and Cabaye.

However, more than ten years after the tactic of placing the front midfielder at the back, there is still a market for black and hard defensive midfielders, and the market demand is even growing.

In Sun Wu's plan, Kanter is a very important piece of the board, but now this guy is still in Ligue 2. It is not a good thing to backfire. This requires Sun Wu and Pochettino to find a substitute.

With Sun Wu, and Pogba, plus Griezmann and Thomas Muller, Carrick is really not indispensable in the lineup.

Sun Wu and Pogba can share the responsibilities of rhythm control, passing the ball, and choosing the direction of attack.

In the forty-five minutes of the first half, apart from moving the ball safely, Carrick mainly assisted in the defense... The quality of the defense was terrible. If Bernie, who had just joined, was too anxious, Manchester United would definitely have conceded more than one goal.

Pochettino patted Sun Wu on the shoulder lightly, "Don't worry."

After joining Manchester United, Pochettino deeply felt the impatience of this Chinese player. He seemed to want to make Manchester United climb back to the top overnight and revitalize the Red Devils in the shortest possible time.

Sun Wu turned his head and looked at Pochettino, muttering in his heart that I am not in a hurry, this year Ronaldo won the Big Ears Cup and is also the top scorer in the Champions League, he probably won the Golden Globe, and next year is the big year... I just Worrying about you, Moyes and Van Gaal lasted at most one season, and Mourinho only lasted a little more than two years.

Walking out of the locker room, Sun Wu pulled Luke Shaw and said in a low voice: "In the first half, you made a total of 8 advances and 6 back and forth sprints, but 4 of them received passes, but they all passed back..."

Luke Xiao flat-mouthed a bit aggrieved, his running position is actually not bad, but Pogba refused to distribute the ball, he insisted on taking the ball... What else can Luke Shaw do if he can't move the ball again , can only send the ball back.

"I'll give you the signal." Sun Wu glanced at Pogba before saying, "Speed ​​up when you see the signal..."

After thinking about it, Sun Wu went to find Pogba again, and the two chatted for a while about overlapping activities in the second half.

Through this period of contact, Sun Wu finally understood.

Pogba only played 17 times in the first half of the season, and only 7 of them were starts, and most of them were in the League Cup and FA Cup. .

but!

Pogba is born with such a characteristic, no matter where he is or on what occasion, he can't help but try to make himself the center of attention!

This was the case with Pogba in the first half. He completed a total of 6 successful breakthroughs and sent four threatening passes.

But in Sun Wu's heart, he was the one with the worst frontcourt performance in Manchester United in the first half except Hernandez!
