Chapter 850 Just Pretend to Be Cool and Run Away

Van Gaal had mixed emotions after returning to Old Trafford.

He was full of anger before the game, and Pochettino was too contemptuous. Manchester United's core trident Best, Griezmann and Thomas Muller all sat on the bench.

So, when Mata assisted Fellaini with a header to open the scoring in the 51st minute, Van Gaal was punching and roaring like a madman on the sidelines.

Sun Wu, who was sitting on the bench, rested his chin on his hand. Griezmann and Thomas Muller next to him were eager to try, but Pochettino turned around and gave them a calm look.

"In less than ten minutes in the second half, Tottenham's attacks came one after another, suppressing Manchester United in the half court." Zhan Jun shook his head and said: "Miranda stared at Negredo, and McNair had no choice at all. Compete with Fellaini for high points."

"Actually, Fellaini fought for several set pieces in the first half, but they were all passed by. This time he directly hit the goal." Zhang Lu was a little anxious. "Liverpool and Swansea are still 0-0, but Manchester City We are already leading Burnley 2-0 in the away game, why doesn't Pochettino make a substitution?"

At this time, the live broadcast camera swept across Manchester United's bench and gave a close-up shot of the Manchester United trident sitting together.

"He didn't even come down to warm up." Zhan Jun said with a smile: "It seems that Pochettino trusts the players on the court..."

In fact, it's not true. Pochettino was very dissatisfied with the performance of the players on the field, especially the offensive players. Lukaku wasted two opportunities in the first half, Shaqiri still dribbled too much, and Herrera could only score the ball. Said to be quite satisfactory, without Sun Wu's pass, Mane's speed advantage was not used.

However, the Manchester United coaching staff has a common understanding that it is very likely to eliminate Real Madrid and reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Manchester City, which has one game less, is only five points behind. This will lead to a very intensive schedule and a greatly increased level of tension. Manchester City If you can beat Liverpool, you can reduce the points to one game, and the Manchester City Derby in the second half of the season has not yet been played, it will be a battle at Tianwang Mountain.

The core trident of the team needs a rest too much. This is the answer given by Dr. Swale using data. Pochettino began to hate why the Premier League does not have a winter break.

Sun Wu's eyes stayed on the No. 20 player. Dele Alli rejected his recruitment several times, transferred to Tottenham on January 31, and still wore the No. 20 jersey.

The goal just now was organized by Ali. He cut inside to shake off Shaqiri who was returning to defense, and then played a fried ball to shake Carrick away. Although Carrick pulled him down covertly, Ali's toes Pass to the wing.

Mata, who cruised to the left wing, comfortably sent a high-quality cross. Fellaini in the penalty area beat McNair and scored with a header.

"Best, to be honest, I had never heard of this name before you mentioned him!" Miguel couldn't help but turn around and said: "Even FIFA and live broadcasts don't have the name Dele Alli!"

Sun Wu grinned and said nothing... I really can't find any reason to explain this.

After all, Aubameyang came from the AC Milan youth training camp. Griezmann and Thomas Muller are not unknown in their respective leagues. Alderweireld and Coleman have long been famous. Harry Kane is a member of the Heat Tattoo training...and Dele Alli is not famous at all.

You must know that this is the Premier League, a Premier League where "geniuses" emerge in endlessly every year. There are countless "geniuses" unearthed from major youth training camps and lower leagues every year, but Dele Alli has not received any attention.

Last winter, Sun Wu's trip to Milton Keynes was exposed by the media, and Dele Alli's name appeared in the newspapers for the first time. Half a year later, Dele Alli used his highlight performance to help Milton Keynes eliminate Manchester United in the League Cup. …

"Best, warm up!" Suddenly Pochettino's words interrupted Sun Wu's thoughts.

Sun Wu threw down his coat and went for a few laps. The home fans in the nearby stands immediately applauded.

Lifting his legs, shaking his hands, and doing warm-ups, Sun Wu kept waving to greet the fans, which made Van Gaal very unhappy...

When Sun Wu walked near the midline and prepared to play, Van Gaal made an adjustment at the same time and replaced Paulinho, a defensive midfielder.

"Substitutions were made at the same time, Sun Wu replaced Milner, and Paulinho replaced Lamela."

"One needs to counterattack, and the other needs to strengthen defense." Zhan Jun cheered up, "Let's see if Manchester United can complete the reversal again. They have completed 7 reversals in various competitions this season!"

The effect of the substitution was very obvious. Sun Wu took over the organizational responsibility from Herrera after coming on. Manchester United's passing and receiving in the midfield and frontcourt immediately became smooth. Paulinho basically found it difficult to keep up with Sun Wu's pace.

There is no way, with Carrick in the middle, Sun Wu does not have to bear the task of transferring the ball. In addition, the score is behind, Sun Wu penetrates deeply and pulls wide, while Paulinho does not dare to leave the defense zone too far. of.

In the 74th minute, Sun Wu continuously cooperated with Valencia and Herrera on the right wing, and then blocked Shaqiri in the ribs.

After Shaqiri took the ball and made several acceleration fakes, he suddenly took the ball and cut inside. However, he only took one step to induce Vertonghen to follow.

Then the Swiss winger sent a through ball from the inside of his left foot. Sun Wu, who came in from the outside, took the ball away and accelerated directly past Eriksson who was returning to defend.

"Okay! Sun Wu...pushed hard...oh, the ball went in!"

"The goal was scored and Manchester United equalized the score. Sun Wu equalized the score within a few minutes of coming on!"

"Let's see... wow, it's Paulinho's own goal!"

"Two players who came on the bench at the same time teamed up to create a goal. Unfortunately, they were not teammates but opponents..."

"Looking at the replay again, Rose obviously missed someone. He only saw Valencia advancing and ignored Sun Wu who accelerated after passing the ball. Eriksen did find the danger, but he couldn't see the danger in the penalty area. Anyone who dared to make a move was directly wiped out by Sun Wu's acceleration..."

"Sun Wu hit the center with great force... and the heel of Paulinho's left foot bounced into the far corner of the goal... Hey, if you ignore the color of the jersey, this should be the best goal of this round!"

Pochettino on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand to Jesus to submit a swap request, preparing to replace Mane with Griezmann to continue strengthening the offense.

But before there was time to make a substitution, just two minutes later, Tottenham, who had unconsciously pushed forward slightly after losing the ball, was intercepted. Carrick, who had made a diagonal stab, suddenly moved forward and used accurate prediction to beat Dembe. Lay's cross ball and then a precise through ball.

"Carrick...oh it's Mane!"

"Single goal... Mane... this is a red card, a red card!"

"Beep!" The referee took out the red card without hesitation.

"Poor Paulinho, less than ten minutes after he came on the field, he first scored an own goal, and then knocked down Mane who was alone and was sent off..."

Sun Wu glanced at Paulinho, who had his head lowered... Hey, violent bird, your stage is in the far east.

Standing in front of the ball, Sun Wu glanced at Shaqiri, who shrugged.

Sun Wu turned to look at the referee and started to run after the whistle sounded.

"boom!"

Lloris made an accurate save, touching the ball to the post with his fingertips.

But it's not enough!

When the ball bounced to the ground and was cleared by Rose's big foot, the referee's whistle had already sounded and his finger pointed at the center circle.

"The whistle has sounded...the ball has gone in and crossed the goal line!"

Mortensen shouted: "What a wonderful curve ball! Listen to the shouts in the stands, at this moment, Best is the king of Old Trafford!"

In ten minutes of playing time, he created an own goal and scored a direct free kick, helping the team complete a 2-1 reversal. Indeed, Sun Wu's performance was worthy of this title.

But all this was too cruel for the Tottenham players. They had been fighting hard on the court for so long, and in just a few minutes, everything came to nothing.

Therefore, when the game restarted, Dembele immediately brought down Herrera with a flying tackle. The Belgian midfielder received a second yellow card and was sent off. Manchester United beat 11 against 9.

At this time, Pochettino made the second adjustment of the game, letting Griezmann return to the bench and replacing Sun Wu with Lingard.

"This... is relatively rare." Zhan Jun couldn't help but laugh.

"The mission is completed." Zhang Lu also said with a smile: "The mission is completed, it's time to rest."

In the end, Manchester United successfully reversed Tottenham 3-1 in this game. The last goal was scored by Mane from a long distance in stoppage time.

Sun Wu, who was replaced after ten minutes on the field, became a hot topic in the media after the game.

In the words of domestic fans on the Internet, this is called... pretending to be awesome and running away.
