Chapter 872 Sun Wu’s System

Sina live broadcast room.

"Carrick direct pass... Griezmann... Herrera!"

"Oh, Herrera's pass...Sun Wu...shoots!"

"Howard made a key save, and Manchester United woke up from their sleep in the second half!" Zhang Lu commented: "Herrera's appearance is the key, he revitalized Manchester United's midfield."

On the sidelines, Martinez bit his lip and considered countermeasures in his mind. The pre-match arrangements were very targeted and the players' execution was also very high. Sun Wu, who lacked assistants, was restricted, but Herrera came on as a substitute. Let everything come to nothing.

In the second half, Everton also tried to cut off the connection between Sun Wu and his teammates, but they soon discovered that this method did not work.

In the previous attack, Sun Wu only touched the ball once.

Carrick's direct pass found Griezmann who had pulled out of the penalty area. The latter immediately passed back. Herrera took the ball and faced Barry and sent an accurate pass diagonally.

Sun Wu reversed into the penalty area and received the ball behind Jagielka who was taken away by Griezmann. He volleyed with his left foot but smashed the ball away from Smalling who was defending. Unfortunately, the angle of the subsequent shot was too right. Was blocked by American goalkeeper Howard.

In this attack, Herrera played the most critical linking role. Sun Wu could free his hands to do other things, and his running range was greatly expanded. This greatly increased the pressure on Everton's defense.

"After Lukaku comes off the field, the three forwards in Manchester United's frontcourt are all players who can turn around flexibly, have the ability to break through, and can pass and shoot. This makes Manchester United's frontcourt offense very interesting." Zhan Jun praised: "The key is Their movement is very interesting, everyone is always moving."

In fact, this is not Pochettino's tactical idea. In the Argentinian system, a center is needed as a fulcrum, such as Lambert during Southampton, and later Harry Kane during Tottenham. This is also Pochettino's system. The reason why Tino made Lukaku his first signing target last summer.

Mike Phelan on the sidelines glanced at Pochettino. Among the coaching staff, he has the closest relationship with Sun Wu. Naturally, he knew that this tactic was actually invented by Sun Wu.

It absorbed part of the essence of Guardiola's forwardless tactics, as well as Klopp's run-and-gun style during his time at Hornets and Liverpool, and also brought in some of Emery's Sevilla's tacit pass-and-run coordination in the frontcourt.

All in all, this is Sun Wu's system, not Pochettino's.

This set of tactics actually appeared in the first round of the knockout round between Manchester United and Real Madrid.

And it has achieved very good results... Mike Phelan guessed in his heart, is Pochettino admitting defeat?

At this moment, Miguel and Jesus next to him jumped up. Mike Phelan stood up dazedly out of reflex. Just when he saw Griezmann rushing out of the crowd with his fists raised, he suddenly braked and started to fight. Telephone.

"In the 65th minute, Manchester United finally equalized the score, and Griezmann scored with a supplementary shot!" Mortensen shouted: "There is still time, there is still time, Manchester United still needs to continue to score goals!"

Although Everton's defense has tried its best to compress the space for Manchester United to break through, Mane's powerful explosive power still had an effect. He suddenly accelerated in the small space on the left and passed Everton's right back Marvin, and then sent a cross pass.

Sun Wu, who was on the ribs, leaned against Barry behind him and turned around to protect the ball, but his heel knocked the ball toward the baseline.

Mane accelerated into the penalty area again and barely sent an inverted triangle pass. Sun Wu, who followed up, used a slight fake shot to trick Smalling into falling to the ground to intercept, and then sent the ball to the line of the penalty area. Shaqiri arced The line ball forced Howard to make a save, and Griezmann in the small penalty area immediately blocked the shot and sent the ball into the goal.

Martinez waved his hands on the sidelines and was very frustrated. In theory, the players did not make any mistakes, but they still lost the ball. Mane's explosive power and Sun Wu's two wonderful passes became the key... This is the rich and ordinary teams. the essential difference.

In the 69th minute, Everton made an adjustment and replaced McCarthy with Deulofeu. Barkley retreated, allowing Deulofeu to attack from the wing.

Both Pochettino and Sun Wu could see through this adjustment at a glance. It was nothing more than an attempt to reduce the pressure on the defense.

In the 72nd minute, Pochettino replaced Ashley Young with Luke Shaw.

Just three minutes later, Luke Shaw received a yellow card with a vicious flying tackle, which also caused Deulofeu to change sides. Although Valencia on the other side was fast, at least not as fast. Brutal...

In the 76th minute, Sun Wu received a powerful long-range shot from Mane outside the penalty area. The ball hit the outside of the goalpost and bounced out of the baseline, causing exclamations from the stands.

"This is Sun Wu's fourth long-range shot in the second half." Zhan Jun said with a smile: "He has a strong desire to shoot today, but Sun Wu's scoring statistics have greatly improved this season."

"It's true, 12 goals in the league and 9 goals in the Champions League, totaling 21 goals." Zhang Lu praised: "Even compared to the main strikers of all giants, this data is not bad."

"What's more, he has 18 assists in all competitions. It is rumored that the Ballon d'Or award is likely to be split with the World Football Federation and returned to "L'Equipe" this year. If there is a heavyweight championship, Sun Wu is likely to win this year's gold medal. Ball Award."

In the 79th minute, Valencia made a cross from the wing, Jagielka headed the ball to clear the ball, and Herrera from the left rib took the ball and found Sun Wu with a cross.

Osman pounced on him immediately. Sun Wu made a move with his left foot and shot Osman. He smashed the ball to the right with his left foot... Barkley had already pounced to block the shot. Barry was also waiting for it, but Sun Wu right The toes of your feet are inserted between the ball and the grass.

"Best...smash...shoot...no! It's a rub pass!"

"Oh, it's Luke Shaw... header ferry!"

"Goooooooooooooooooooal!"

"Shaqiri scores the go-ahead goal for Manchester United!"

"Is it offside... No, no, no, it's not offside, the goal is valid!"

Shaqiri excitedly lifted up the equally excited Luke Shaw. This was the latter's first assist since his comeback. With him, the club was confident in facing Ashley Young's request for a salary increase.

Martinez on the sidelines was still complaining to the fourth official that Sun Wu's pass was obviously offside...

"Well, I can only say that I have doubts." Zhang Lu coughed twice.

"Yeah, yeah." As long as it's not a Double Red Club, Zhan Jun's comments are very biased, "It's hard to tell with the naked eye..."

Mortensen focused his attention on Sun Wu's tactical thinking, "Best continuously hit high-quality long-range shots from the center, which opened up Everton's wings. Then Best sent a diagonal pass and found Luke. resemble.

It seems very simple, but the idea is very clear, and Everton had to block Best's shot in the middle. Just now Valencia passed the ball, and Osman did not appear on the wing or in the ribs, but appeared in the middle. This is This proves that Osman did not reflect his advantage of wide coverage in this defense. "

After losing this goal, it was meaningless for Everton to defend. Martinez successively replaced Miralas and Naismith to try to equalize the score.

But Manchester United is the best at this set. The pressing defense in the midfield and backfield can intercept the ball at any time and launch high-quality counterattacks.

In the 89th minute, Alderweireld intercepted the ball in the backcourt and passed it long. Shaqiri ran 40 meters along the left wing to lead Smalling and passed back. Sun Wu sent a cross from the left rib and inserted Mane into the penalty area at high speed. He scored with a header before Jagielka to seal the victory.

Sun Wu hugged Mane tightly, this goal is of great significance!

In the system built by Sun Wu, Mane is a very important presence.

In addition to the general advantages of fast speed, strong explosive power, flexible movement, and the ability to pass and shoot, Mane has a very strong ability to grab headers that is rare for ordinary wingers.

Although he is not tall, his jumping ability is terrifying and his judgment of landing point is very good. In this regard, he is no less than Klose.

Pochettino's evaluation of Sun Wu's system is that it lacks the ability to attack tough problems.

But with Mane, Sun Wu will be confident, and Harry Kane will return next season.
