Chapter 836 The House Leaked and It Rained All Night

January 31st.

In the lounge of the Old Trafford Stadium, Sun Wu kept browsing various transfer news on the website while eating.

There are still two hours before the start of the game. Players usually need to eat three hours in advance. His teammates have already finished eating and gone to the lounge nearby. Only Sun Wu is sitting here.

Smalling completed his transfer to Everton yesterday, but Manchester United has not yet completed Miranda's transfer... Simeone has relented, but insists not to sell, and is only willing to rent, but Manchester United prefers to buy out.

Although Miranda is the main defender of last year's Champions League championship team, he is not well-known, and he is already over 30 years old. The price is not high. Miranda himself also hopes to get a contract of at least three years at Manchester United.

Sun Wu snorted unhappily, "Simone has so many good defenders at his disposal. Do you really want to keep Miranda alive?"

"Just rent it..." Mike Phelan sighed and looked down at his watch. "The time is very tight. There are still eight hours. Initialization, physical examination, signing, registration... all take time."

Miguel on the side suddenly interrupted and said: "Best, it's all your fault... If you hadn't contacted Miranda secretly, maybe the transfer would have been completed!"

"That's right!" Giggs responded immediately, "Best, what Manchester United wants and what you want... these are two different concepts."

"This gives the other party an opportunity to raise the price!" Jesus sighed: "Dell is an example..."

"Those I like have potential, but those I don't like have no potential?" Sun Wu almost vomited blood and pointed at the guy who had just entered the door, "I didn't like him last year!"

Januzaj, who just walked in, looked so innocent...

…

"This is the last game before the end of the transfer period. Manchester United has sold Welbeck and Smalling, supplemented Shaqiri, and still lacks a defender."

In the live broadcast room, Zhan Jun looked down at the transfer directory, "It's surprising. There are no big moves in the Premier League during this winter transfer period, and the major clubs are more focused on cleaning up the lineup than signing in."

"Alderweireld was injured and Smalling moved to Everton. It is impossible for Jones and Rojo to fight on three fronts alone." Zhang Lu sighed: "After the summer transfer is over,

The media once commented that Manchester United's recruitment too neglected the central defender position. "

"Contrary to Manchester United, Leicester City came to Old Trafford today to replenish their defense. Former Chelsea defender Huth transferred from Sky City."

"Okay, the game is about to start. Today Manchester United has put together a lineup with a mix of main players and substitutes. The defense is Coleman, Rojo, Jones, Ashley Young, and the midfield is Sun Wu and Schneider. Lin and Milner, Griezmann, Klose and Thomas Muller in the frontcourt."

Standing outside the center circle, Sun Wu looked at this Leicester City team, which was almost complete. Schmeichel Jr., Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Kante, Drinkwater, Mahrez, Vardy, Albrighton and Kane.

Compared with the familiar Fox City, Kane replaced Japanese forward Shinji Okazaki, and the striker strength is stronger. The defense Fuchs is still at Schalke 04, but Schlupp who replaced him is not inferior to him... ...In fact, in that miracle season, Schlupp was originally the main player, but was replaced by Fuchs after being injured.

Sun Wu was cautious after the start. He was very afraid of Drinkwater's long pass and Vardy's speed.

"The scene is a bit dull. It's been a quarter of an hour. Both sides have a shot, but they all missed the target from long range." Zhan Jun said with a smile: "Vardy has shined this season. He scored a hat trick in the first round of both sides."

Pochettino on the sidelines was a little dissatisfied, waving his hand and making a tactical gesture to move forward... Sun Wu was a little helpless. The whole world looks down on Fox City, but that definitely doesn't include me.

Twenty minutes later, Manchester United began to press forward and created several good opportunities after pressing high.

In the 23rd minute, Coleman intercepted Schlupp's cross from the wing. Sun Wu easily got rid of Drinkwater and sent a direct pass. Coleman passed the ball from the wing and Klose's header was just a hair away. Flying over the crossbar and out of the bottom line.

In the 28th minute, Griezmann cut in from the right and sent a cross. Sun Wu found an opportunity in the middle and shot with his feet, but Huth blocked the hole of the gun and blocked the ball.

Milner followed up and hit Morgan's hand with another shot, but the referee did not call a penalty kick.

In the 33rd minute, Sun Wu took Kanter away with his movement. Rojo suddenly started to advance at high speed from the backcourt. After receiving Milner's cross, he shot hard in the left rib.

The ball was punched out by Schmeichel, but Klose deftly took the ball and blocked it under Huth's close pressing. Milner, who followed up on the other side, crossed the middle from the edge of the small penalty area and Thomas Muller An easy push broke the deadlock.

Pochettino breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the coaching bench, smiling and saying: "If Klose were younger, even if he was 30 years old, I would suggest the club give him a three-year contract."

Indeed, although Klose no longer scores goals after turning 30, his style of play and technical characteristics are very consistent with Pochettino's tactics. His footwork is not delicate but very practical, and he is very skilled in passing and cutting. And he is willing to pass the ball. He once won the top scorer and the top assists in one season.

After leading 1-0, Sun Wu also breathed a sigh of relief and directed the team to retreat slightly to see if there was a chance to counterattack.

But the accident happened at this time.

Now, Ashley Young has a firm hold on the left back, Alderweireld is injured, Smalling is leaving the team, and Miranda is about to join. The Argentinian Rojo who just scored the goal has a very strong desire to perform. Hope to be able to lock in a main position.

In the 44th minute, just when the fourth official raised his sign to indicate one minute of added time.

Coleman sent a cross under Albrighton's pressure. Sun Wu was caught by Drinkwater who was pressing forward. He signaled Coleman to pass directly back to the defense.

It was Rojo who caught the ball. He stopped the ball directly and was about to take the ball and move forward... but the stop was too big!

Kanter rushed forward and poked the ball away first. Harry Kane took the ball with his back and leaned against Phil Jones. He was unable to turn around and sent a diagonal pass. Drinkwater sent a pick pass.

Vardy pushed forward at high speed and instantly formed a single knife.

"Rojo made a mistake... Leicester City counterattacked on the spot... Drinkwater picked up a pass... a single ball... Oh, Rojo tackled Vardy!"

Sun Wu, who failed to intercept Delinwuckert's pass, looked at this scene with a grin. Being intercepted is not the worst thing, and being caught by the opponent is not the worst, but knocking the opponent down is the worst... …

Rojo, who wanted to show his face but exposed his buttocks, was furious and tackled Vardy from behind. He did not touch the ball at all.

Amid the boos, the referee took out the red card without hesitation.

It’s really raining all night when the house leaks!

Neither the players on the field nor the coaching staff off the field had anything to say about Manchester United. This was an extremely standard red card.

Mahrez's free kick failed to go over the wall, and the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

After returning to the locker room, Sun Wu found Pochettino immediately, "Has Miranda set off?"

"Well, Dr. Sver will pick up the plane in person and go for a physical examination immediately. There should be enough time." Pochettino also looked cautious. Rojo's red card will suspend him for three games. For Manchester United now, it is really fatal. ah!

Jesus came over and said, "For Klose?"

Sun Wu pulled a helpless face, "Then who else can I replace?"

Klose started the game. Due to physical factors, he could only play for about 65 minutes at most, so he could only be replaced. It was a pity that he was in such good condition today.

Sun Wu sat back and patted Rojo on the shoulder, "Losing the ball is not the worst, the red card is."

Griezmann seemed very dissatisfied, "Marcos, do you not believe that we can still score goals?"

Luo Huo forced a smile, and his smile was uglier than crying.

Sun Wu didn't say anything more, and his eyes swept over his teammates one by one. In the second half, there were fewer forwards in the frontcourt, so more help was needed from the midfield. Lingard was not included in the squad today, Rashford was too young, and Jia Nuzai was still looking for form, and finally Sun Wu's eyes fell on Milner.
