Chapter 884 Those Who Are Barefoot Are Not Afraid of Wearing Shoes

Having played in Europe for six or seven years, Sun Wu has been to countless stadiums and seen countless crazy fans.

For example, the Schalke 04 fans who created the highest decibel level in European stadiums, the terrifying Galatasaray fans, and the Red Army fans who jumped off the stands and tried to beat up Sun Wu...

But Sun Wu has to admit that in terms of organization, Dortmund fans are second to none!

the reason is simple.

It was almost half an hour into the game, and neither side had any good chances. Manchester United controlled the midfield, and Dortmund tried to maximize the use of away goals and want to exert strength in the second half.

So Sun Wu touched the ball a lot in this half hour.

Every time he touched the ball, the stands would erupt into loud boos.

Sun Wu received Januzaj's return pass, and boos immediately started.

Sun Wu avoided Mkhitaryan's attack, and the boos became louder and louder.

Sun Wu sent a long-distance cross to Coleman, and the boos immediately disappeared.

Sun Wu glanced at the South Stand, where he once gave Bumblebee an arrogant throat-cutting ceremony. It was this action that made him the most hated person in Dortmund.

"Both sides were reluctant to attack and focused all their energy on defense." Zhan Jun commented: "After all, Manchester United leads the total score, and it is a bit intriguing that Dortmund also chooses to defend."

"They want to defend until the second half, probably the last ten minutes, and then press hard and score a goal." Zhang Lu laughed: "The total score is 2-2, and Manchester United will be eliminated by away goals. It's a beautiful idea..."

"But maybe the reality is very skinny." Zhan Jun also laughed, "Pochettino can't possibly not know what Dortmund wants to do... Dortmund made a long pass to Reus again, and Rojo headed the ball to clear the ball. This efficiency is a bit low. , we can only hope that the opponent’s defender makes a mistake.”

Sun Wu Labian received a pass from Luke Shaw. Before Bender could press him, he stepped back with his feet and the ball passed under Gentle's crotch behind him and found Januzaj.

But Subotic immediately pounced on Januzaj, waiting for an opportunity to destroy the ball out of the baseline.

This was the case throughout the first half. Although Dortmund failed to control the midfield, Bender kept an eye on Sun Wu, and nearby teammates would quickly move closer, not giving Sun Wu room to play.

It’s the last few games of the season,

Manchester United's foundation has also been well understood by its opponents. I believe Tuchel also knows Sun Wu very well. Bend almost followed Sun Wu in this game. If the latter wants to catch the ball smoothly, he can only frequently retreat very deep to get the ball. , which also led to a lack of contact between several players in Manchester United's frontcourt.

In the 38th minute, Sun Wu finally succeeded in getting rid of Bender and broke through with the ball from the left rib of the frontcourt. However, although his cross pass found the advancing Herrera, Kyle pulled the Spanish midfielder down.

"Free kick!" Zhan Jun started to get excited. "Sun Wu has been very good with his feet recently and has scored key free kicks continuously. The S ball in the last round of the league is likely to be rated as the best of the season."

The boos in the stands were getting louder and louder, and riot police on the sidelines were waiting with police dogs, but the police all wore helmets...

Everyone remembers how the referee was thrown into the hospital during the Ruhr derby... Dortmund fans later admitted that the mobile phone was originally thrown at Sun Wu.

"Beep!"

Sun Wu swung his right foot and kicked a curve ball. The ball went around the wall. Weidenfeller stretched his arms desperately and failed to touch it, but the ball missed the post and flew out of the baseline.

"It's just a little bit short!" Zhang Lu said in despair: "As long as it's less than ten centimeters inward... Weidenfeller obviously has nothing to do."

Sun Wu pouted, turned to Griezmann and said: "You come in the second half."

In a hotel in Liverpool, England.

"I don't know when Best will develop this skill!" Pique complained: "Even if it's a foul, try not to give this kind of free kick."

"Well, a little to the left is fine, but a little to the right is just right for Best's curve ball." Busquets nodded and said, "I always feel that this guy can cause trouble!"

Messi sat in the corner staring at the screen. He believed that Manchester United could definitely knock out Dortmund and enter the final, just like he believed that Barcelona could knock out Liverpool tomorrow.

Messi has been waiting for this opportunity for four years.

In the 43rd minute, Royce made a strong breakthrough in the ribs and was intercepted by Rojo, but the big cross successfully counterattacked and sent a back pass. Mkhitaryan passed the ball into the penalty area. Aubameyang hit the goal with a header, and the ball flew against the crossbar. Get out of line.

Two minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

"It's surprising. The atmosphere before the game was very exciting, but the first half of the game was very dull." Zhan Jun commented: "Both sides only had six shots in the first half, and only Royce's shot hit. Target, but De Gea confiscated the ball."

"Sun Wu's free kick and Aubameyang's header were the only highlights, but they both failed to hit the target."

"Fifteen minutes later, let's see what happens in the second half. This score continues until the end. Manchester United will eliminate Dortmund and reach the Champions League final for the first time in seven years."

…

The atmosphere in the locker room was a bit weird.

Sun Wu sat in his seat with no intention of getting up. Generally speaking, during halftime, Sun Wu would discuss tactics with Pochettino before sitting down.

Mike Phelan was a little helpless. Pochettino sent his only two direct descendants on the field in this game. Schneiderlin was okay, but Lukaku performed very poorly, whether it was making the ball, fighting for the landing point, or passing the ball. His catching and running were obviously substandard, and even if he didn't shoot, his role as a fulcrum in the frontcourt was not reflected at all.

Januzaj worked very hard, but he was the player who conceded the most goals for Manchester United in the first half. This cannot be blamed on him, because Griezmann was closely watched, and Sun Wu did not make many forward penetrations and could not provide support. .

Pochettino did not flinch this time. In his opinion, although Lukaku was in poor condition, he successfully contained Hummels. He planned to replace Klose in the second half until about 65 minutes.

After a simple tactical deployment, Pochettino emphasized that Sun Wu did not need to be positioned too far back, and made it clear that Manchester United's attack time would be between the 60th and 75th minutes.

Pochettino hopes to score the first goal and then drop back to strengthen the defense.

Sun Wu complained in his heart, how could such a thing be planned so carefully? Do you know what Tuchel is thinking now?

Sun Wu speculated that Tuchel would maintain defense in the second half and let Schmelzer or Ginter press forward significantly to assist, because Januzaj and Griezmann were unable to suppress their opponents on the two wings.

However, when the second half started, Sun Wu discovered that both he and Pochettino had guessed wrong.

Tuchel replaced Ginter with Durm, and both wings began to assist significantly. He also replaced Kyle with a yellow card with Shaheen, and pressed high from the beginning.

The most important thing is that both sides played politely in the first half, and Kyle got the yellow card because of a tactical pull on Herrera.

In the second half, Dortmund showed their ferocious face. They tackled and collided recklessly on the court with all their might!

For a time, Manchester United's defense was in a state of chaos.

Within five minutes, Schmelzer, Shaheen, and Mkhitaryan all received yellow cards, while Aubameyang and Royce both got good shooting opportunities.

Although they haven't conceded a goal yet, the situation on the field is gradually leaning towards Dortmund.

It's obvious that Dortmund have no scruples, they are barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes!

But Manchester United was a little timid. Herrera, who received a yellow card in the first half, obviously did not dare to make too big a move.

A player who accumulates yellow cards will not miss the Champions League final, but a red card will result in a suspension.

In the 54th minute, Sun Wu finally found a chance to send a diagonal ball to Lukaku who was on the side, but Subotic knocked down Lukaku with a flying tackle.

Lukaku failed to hold on and was replaced by Klose early.

Seeing Lukaku go off the field, Manchester United players became even more afraid. What if he gets injured?

To put it simply, Dortmund have no scruples, they are barefoot, while Manchester United wear shoes!

Sun Wu knew very well what his teammates were thinking, and he felt that he should do something.
