Chapter 695: Persistence (Part 1)

Sitting on the sofa in the living room of Patrick's house, Sun Wu looked at Patrick and Guardiola in the study from a distance through the crack of the door, with schadenfreude in his eyes.

Because Patrick's home is very close to Manchester City's training base, Guardiola often appears here, which also gave Sun Wu, who unexpectedly appeared here today, a good mood.

The last round of the Premier League game between Manchester City and Sunderland was postponed because the game was in the middle of the week, when Manchester City needed to go to the Nou Camp to challenge Barcelona.

Sun Wu sat lazily on the sofa, flicking the TV channels, and the excited voice of the Spanish commentator suddenly resounded in the living room.

"Ohhh, Leon Messi, great performance, he beat Manchester City's entire defense by himself!"

"But the great thing about Messi is that he passed all the Manchester City defenders and didn't shoot. Instead, he passed the ball to a teammate in a better position. Neymar sent the ball into the empty goal!"

"This is a game-killing goal, look at the sidelines! Guardiola's face is full of frustration after returning to the Nou Camp for the first time!"

Out of the corner of Sun Wu's eyes, he caught sight of Patrick in the study getting up...and closing the door tightly!

"Hey!" Sun Wu couldn't help a smirk, which made Christine beside him laugh too.

In this game, Messi contributed a god-level performance with two passes and one shot... Maybe it can only be regarded as a routine operation for him. Barcelona's 3-0 score has actually eliminated Manchester City, let alone 3-0 , That is 2 to 0, there is no example of a comeback in history!

"Where's Auntie Olina?" Sun Wu looked down at his watch, "There's still a game tomorrow, and I'll be there for dinner in 40 minutes."

Now Sun Wu not only has strict requirements on the types of food imported, but also has strict requirements on the meal time.

Before Christine answered, the TV screen in front of him turned, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes appeared on the screen.

"The league has played 26 rounds, and this season's championship group has also appeared. You must know that the league has only 38 rounds." Lineker smiled at the camera: "It's a pity that the defending champion Tottenham is losing Sun Wu, Hazard, Sanchez and Guardiola were in a slump. Although Mata and Fellaini were introduced during the winter transfer period, they lost to Everton in the last round.

In addition, Arsenal has also completely withdrawn from the title race after being swept by Liverpool and Manchester United in a row. Wenger now has to consider not only how to enter the Champions League next season, but also whether he needs to retire. "

"Although I haven't won the league championship for a long time... er,

It's been ten years. "Gary Neville, who was on the guest table, smiled and said: "But I think the Gunners fans are too harsh on Wenger! "

Sun Wu in front of the TV chuckled, and Gary Neville is also very sharp-tongued, and he is quite good at stealing the show...Look at Carragher and Scholes smiling so happily, and see how much Henry smiles You know the embarrassment!

But Sun Wu despises Carragher. Arsenal won the Premier League championship at least ten years ago, and you Liverpool haven't got your hands on this trophy yet!

To be honest, Arsenal was not considered a wealthy team in Graham's era. They did not participate in the Champions League but the Cup Winners' Cup. It was not until Wenger took over that the team slowly became a recognized giant in Europe. The unbeaten record of 49 games has made Arsenal a recognized giant.

But now, in the era of capital aggressively invading football, the major giants in the Premier League often regard Arsenal as a quasi-rich team that is half a grade weaker. They have strength but also have obvious weaknesses. More than Fulham, who have been relegated.

On the TV screen, there was chaos at the guest seats, and all the famous football players had a heated discussion about whether Wenger should leave get out of class... Lineker had to clap his hands vigorously to remind them, please, digress, okay!

"Who is more hopeful?" Carragher shrugged, "Of course it's Liverpool, except for Klopp in the league who only has the FA Cup mission, and there are no injuries in the main lineup... It's surprising that Sturridge has always been healthy! "

"There is no way to play in the Champions League, or even the Europa League, which is actually an advantage!" Gary Neville complained: "This is not what I said...Best's original words!"

Scholes followed up and complained: "If you say that, Manchester City also has an advantage!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

There was a burst of laughter!

In front of the TV, Sun Wu, who had been gloating over Manchester City's sweep, didn't smile. He knew that Guardiola was still trying to improve this Manchester City team.

"In terms of points, Liverpool currently ranks first with 22 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses with 67 points, Manchester United ranks second with 21 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses with 65 points, Manchester City with 19 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses with 60 points. Ranked third, Chelsea ranked fourth with 19 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses with 59 points." Lineker continued to host the program, "These four teams constitute the championship group this season, but after entering 2014, Liverpool and Manchester United maintain a perfect record, Manchester City and Chelsea have suffered setbacks..."

"It's hard to say who has a better chance of winning the championship." Lineker said with a smile: "But one thing is for sure, whoever is more persistent will have a better chance!"

Carragher immediately followed up, "So, Liverpool, who only need to focus on the league, have a better chance. They are physically, focused and mentally not too tired. They are more sustainable. The unbeaten record entering 2014 shows this. ..."

"Manchester United also won in 2014!" Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville and Liverpool vice-team Carragher are old rivals, and they habitually said, "Of course, Manchester United has the task of the Champions League, but it still maintains a strong position in the two-lane battle. Continuity, this is called a wealthy family!"

"Gary, we are media people now, we need to objectively analyze the facts..."

"But our identities are destined, even on the TV screen, we have our own position!"

"The three games Manchester United lost this season were against mid-lower teams, which in itself shows the lack of continuity and stability..."

"Manchester United is the same every season, slow to heat up! The Christmas schedule started to explode, and then the last one was the best. Jamie, you may not have experienced this...so you don't understand!"

Seeing that the guest seats were lively again, Lineker could only sigh helplessly...

"I have a different view on the continuity." Scholes interrupted the debate between the two, "Consistency not only refers to the overall performance of a team, but also refers to the performance of the core players in the team. Just like Ronaldo and Henry back then, they can contribute a high level of performance stably, which is the key to the continuity of the team."

Sun Wu and Christine were watching with gusto when the door of the study opened, and Patrick and Guardiola came out.

"Josep." Sun Wu pouted towards the lively TV screen, "It's a pity that Manchester City can't find any famous people to argue with."

Guardiola snorted rather unmanneredly, "I don't think bickering will have any impact on the ownership of the Premier League champion!"

Sun Wu sighed, "It seems... Josep, you only pay attention to the Champions League matches, and you didn't pay attention to the last round of the league!"

Just yesterday, the "Sun" broke the news that an Arsenal player claimed that during the match between Manchester United and Arsenal, Sun Wu repeatedly provoked Wilshere with words and eyes...
