Chapter 888 The only Answer

May 14th.

Anfield Stadium.

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooal!"

"Coutinho equalized the score with his super world wave, Liverpool still has a chance!"

"As long as one more goal is scored, Liverpool can send the game into overtime!"

Flags were flying in the KOP stands, and shirtless Red Army fans were singing "Never Walk Alone" in unison.

But they were soon disappointed. Enrique replaced Iniesta with Kroos. Three minutes later, the German midfielder's left-footed shot from outside the penalty area broke the gate guarded by Joe Hart.

"Enrique's adjustment effect is very good, 2 to 1, 4 to 2 in two rounds..." The Spanish commentator smiled and said: "Look who is this?"

The live broadcast footage captured two figures. Sun Wu was whispering to Pochettino.

"Enrique must feel very unhappy. He can't go to watch the game between Manchester United and Dortmund, but they can watch the game between Barcelona and Liverpool." The Spanish commentator's tone rose, "Four years later, Barcelona once again Messi is ready to face Best."

Sun Wu soon found that he and Pochettino were caught on camera because there were already Liverpool fans shouting and cursing in this direction.

Anyway, there was nothing to see. Sun Wu and Pochettino quickly left Anfield Stadium, but they were surrounded by reporters outside.

At the press conference after yesterday's double win over Dortmund, Tuchel claimed without hesitation that the club would file a complaint... Not only was he eliminated, but Royce was seriously injured. There is no need to think about the German Cup final at the end of the month, or even They may not be able to catch up with the opening game of next season in a few months.

Schneiderlin did not receive any punishment. The referee's decision was too slow and was denounced by major media. "Sports de Catalunya" recommended that UEFA impose a ban on Schneiderlin...

Sun Wu was also worried in his heart. Schneiderlin's serious foul actually showed his weakness. Although he was fierce in attacking, his positioning was inferior.

In terms of personal ability, Schneiderlin is currently Manchester United's weakest point, and Enrique cannot fail to see it.

In Enrique’s tactical system,

The speed of advancement in the midfield is very important. In this case, Schneiderlin's positional sense will become the focus of Barcelona's attack.

Therefore, the focus of today's discussion between Sun Wu and Pochettino is whether to use Fletcher or Herrera next to Schneiderlin.

But it was really a discussion, not an argument. Both Sun Wu and Pochettino were hesitant.

Fletcher's defensive coverage is wider, he is excellent in assisting defense and filling in, and he can also create a threat when he suddenly goes forward.

Although Herrera's defensive level is slightly inferior, he has a low center of gravity, flexible turns, and the toughness of the Basque. He is very experienced in dealing with agile attackers such as Messi, Iniesta, and Neymar, and he can organize and organize Provide assistance to Sun Wu.

While Sun Wu and Pochettino were surrounded by reporters, an important conversation took place at the Carrington base.

"Yeah." Mike Phelan responded affirmatively to Woodward's question. "The tactical arrangements after losing the ball, player changes and even substitutions are all presided over by Best."

"Including Mane moving in the ribs, giving up the right wing to Coleman, and insisting on attacking after equalizing the score..."

"Of course, Mane's substitution was also Best's choice... And in that derby game, Best made a completely different tactical arrangement from Pochettino during the halftime break, and everyone knows the result... "

David Gill smiled and said, "I very much agree with this. Tears and blood, this is the difference between Manchester City and Manchester United... Haha, Alex thinks so too."

Ferguson looked as if the matter had nothing to do with him and said, "Ed, this is your responsibility. Neither David nor I will give a clear answer."

Woodward gritted his teeth and asked: "If he refuses, is it possible that Best will leave?"

Neither Ferguson nor David Gill spoke. Mike Phelan hesitated and replied: "If we refuse, the first thing we have to consider is who to hire..."

"A coach who can suppress Best..." Ferguson shook his head, "Ed, why did Best come to Manchester United only after I retired?"

Woodward was stunned for a moment, "That means we have to choose between him and the head coach?"

Ferguson still didn't say anything. If he hadn't retired yet, he would definitely kick Best away, but now...

Although Ferguson maintained his No. 1 status for a long time during his coaching period, he also saw clearly that nowadays the club can frequently change the head coach, but it cannot frequently change the core of the team.

In this era, the coach's personal influence and worth cannot be compared with that of a superstar of Best's level.

In other words, Manchester United actually has only one choice.

"Yes, it's either him or the head coach." David Gill shrugged. "Of course, Best gave the only answer, he will be the head coach."

Woodward murmured, "The risk is too great..."

"No matter who you hire, there are always risks." Mike Phelan is now firmly on Sun Wu's side.

Seeing that Woodward was still hesitant, Ferguson yawned and looked at his watch, "Kathy should be preparing dinner. I don't want to hear her loud voice again... Ed, you have to understand that before you The question before us is actually, what if Best coached and the record was bad?"

Woodward nodded repeatedly.

"A good record is the best, a bad record... You don't need to wait for the transfer window to change the head coach." Ferguson curled his lips and said: "If the record is bad, Best will just be a player."

Woodward's eyes lit up and he was right. If Best's coaching record is bad and the club hires a new head coach, what reason does he have to object?

"Maybe I can contact Simeone or Mourinho first..." Such thoughts swirled in Woodward's mind.

Mike Phelan looked down at his phone and said, "The game is over, it's Barcelona."

"I really hope Best can kill Barcelona!" Ferguson muttered, stood up and walked out, "Mike, I heard that Best has prepared a special gift for Barcelona?"

"It was the S-shaped free kick against Arsenal." Mike Phelan sighed: "It's a pity that it was exposed, but Griezmann and Best had other ideas..."

On the way back to Manchester, Sun Wu and Pochettino also received the news that the miracle did not happen.

In this semi-final, Iniesta scored first, and Coutinho equalized the score in the second half. However, Kroos, who came on as a substitute, made two long-range shots. Barcelona defeated Liverpool 2-1 and 3-1. .

Just after returning home, Sun Wu received a call from Busquets.

Sun Wu didn't even know how Busquets had the nerve to call and provoke!

We have played against Barcelona three times in total, with two wins and one draw, and never a defeat. The one who is wondering should be you guys!
