Chapter 826: Harmony Between Generals and Prime Ministers (Part 1)

"The Iron Tree Blooms, Schneiderlin Scores Two Scores"

"At the last minute, Manchester United drew with Liverpool away from home"

It’s not bad to see here. Well, this is the title of The Times and the Daily Mail.

After flipping through a few more pictures, the smile on Sun Wu's face disappeared.

"Three games without a win, Manchester United is losing its mojo"

"Manchester United dropped points again, Guardiola claimed he was not surprised"

The former is the "Guardian" and the latter is the "Manchester Evening News".

Sun Wu pulled out a famous newspaper from the bottom, his face as cold as frost.

"Best and Pochettino have publicly fallen out"

"After falling out with Guardiola, Best has become notorious in the coaching world. After moving to Manchester United, Best became a recognized ball tyrant, but Pochettino is obviously not a person who swallows his anger!"

"According to reliable information, the two sides have major differences on Manchester United's tactical system, winter recruitment targets and even the team's long-term team building plan. Pochettino has given an ultimatum to the club's top management, asking Best to step down as assistant coach."

Sun Wuzi read the report three times carefully, and then threw the newspaper on the table with an expressionless expression, "As expected of The Sun, what it said seems to be true!"

Mike Phelan shrugged, "They dare to write anything. This is child's play."

The opening picture is all about editing... "The Sun" is very professional in this regard.

Sun Wu was silent for a moment and then asked: "Mike, how's it going with Januzaj?"

"The recovery is not bad, he recovered faster than Luke Shaw." After Mike Phelan replied casually, he raised his head and said solemnly: "Best, don't forget, your current job scope is just Make recommendations on transfer targets."

Sun Wu smiled and nodded, "What about the future?"

Mike Phelan also laughed, "Who knows, but Mauricio didn't deliberately restrict you."

"I know." Sun Wu stood up and took a few steps, "but he must be very happy with the current situation."

"Of course!" Mike Phelan curled his lips,

"But Best, I really don't feel that you have any psychological problems... maybe it's better to rest during this period?"

Sun Wu tilted his head and thought for a while, "Maybe they are right. There is more to life than just football. I should care about more things. I only pay attention to football for a long time, and in a different capacity... It is indeed possible that I felt very tired, but actually I was in pretty good shape during the Double Red Games.”

"Hahaha, that's not how the media evaluated you. Sky Sports' post-match rating ranked you only in the middle of the team. Their evaluation was that... you failed to show the best Best."

"What do they know!" Sun Wu waved his hand, "By the way, in terms of signings, is it still Savage?"

"Well, Sterling is negotiating personal treatment with Everton. The transfer fee is about 6 million pounds." Mike Phelan shook his head. "Michael Keane is very determined to stay in Cardiff City. I failed to persuade him." He’s back early.”

"There should be no problems with Shaqili, right?" Sun Wu asked again: "Don't cause trouble like Xia Tian."

"Well, with Thomas Muller as a hostage, Bayern Munich has almost no room for resistance." Mike Phelan said with a smile: "By the way, the Hull City left back you mentioned a few days ago, Miki has already handed over the ball. Let’s go and observe it for a long time.”

"Andrew Robertson?" Sun Wu nodded and said: "A really good left back. Although he lacks experience, his cross is better than Luke Shaw. Rojo is more reliable as a central defender. "

The two of them chatted in the office. Today's training is over. Tomorrow the team will fly to Birmingham, and the day after tomorrow will be Aston Villa, the first opponent of the Christmas schedule.

The intensive schedule has the entire Manchester United team running at high speed. Tonight, Sun Wu is studying the most important opponent in the Christmas schedule, Tottenham Hotspur.

Now Sun Wu will not go into the study room every night when he comes home, but when necessary, he will do the necessary homework in the club's office building before going home.

Tottenham Hotspur this season is very surprising. They made a killing at the beginning of the season. Van Gaal seems to be about to stage a return of the king. White Hart Lane fans also have high hopes for him. The Dutch team's wonderful offensive in the World Cup Football fits Tottenham's style too well.

But then, Tottenham began to decline rapidly after being swept by Manchester City by a huge score. They were winless in five league rounds and have now dropped to 7th place in the league. Moreover, Van Gaal and the head-spurring Balotelli were having a fierce quarrel. It is said that in Everyone took action on the training ground.

Sun Wu's observation focuses on Eriksen and Blind. The former is the source of Tottenham's offense, and the latter is the point where Tottenham's defense is most vulnerable to breakthrough.

…

The next day, as soon as he got on the bus from Birmingham Airport, Mike Phelan handed Sun Wu some newspapers.

Gee, this time it’s not just the Sun. Several other major newspapers have begun to hype the differences between Sun Wu and Pochettino, and even reported that Sun Wu has been dismissed from his position as assistant coach.

At the same time, Manchester United, which had lost three consecutive games, was heavily criticized by the media. In their words, Manchester United's collapse was imminent.

What tactics have been thoroughly studied, what Sun Wu and Pochettino had a big quarrel, what Sun Wu criticized Phil Jones in the locker room for giving points, and what Thomas Muller was very unhappy about being substituted. So happy that it is likely to return to Bayern Munich during the winter transfer period...

Just reading the newspapers gives the impression that Manchester United has not won a game for several months, and the generals are at odds with each other. There are many conflicts among the players, and the rankings should have fallen out of the European theater...

Sun Wu saw the column of Arsenal star Ian Wright with great interest.

"Best is indeed a world-class midfielder, but he always has his own technical flaws. The uncertainty of his position makes it difficult for Manchester United's offense to maintain stability. His breakthrough and speed make Manchester United lack vertical speed."

"This season Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool have all sent full-time midfielders to deal with Best, but his performance has declined. At least in these games, it is difficult for him to directly threaten the opponent's goal..."

Haha, generally speaking, forwards are often not as good as midfielders and midfielders in terms of tactical literacy. This is one of the reasons why Ancelotti, Rijkaard, Guardiola, and Pochettino can become famous coaches.

Sun Wu curled his lips disdainfully. Football is a collective sport for 11 people. Should he be allowed to conquer the world by himself?

With the opponent's tight surveillance, Herrera and Fletcher have become key pieces, which in itself is a reflection of Sun Wu's tactical ability.

At this time, Pochettino, who was sitting at the front of the bus, waved and called Sun Wu over.

"Best, you come with me to the pre-match press conference tomorrow."

"It's not necessary..." Sun Wu twitched his lips, "Okay, okay."

Returning to his seat, Sun Wu sighed softly. It seemed that he would have to show off his acting skills at tomorrow's press conference, but it was not difficult.
