Chapter 890 Revenge
At halftime, Pochettino did not make any new tactical arrangements, but replaced Herrera with Fletcher. This was an experiment for the Champions League final.
Sun Wu and Griezmann walked out of the locker room laughing. The latter tried to win the top scorer again, but the former felt there was basically no hope.
Griezmann currently has 23 league goals, five goals away from Aguero at the top of the list.
But Griezmann refused to give up easily. In his opinion, it would not be too difficult to win the league championship in this game and score four or five goals against Crystal Palace, which has successfully avoided relegation in the next round of the league.
"Give me half of the goal bonus?" Sun Wu said with a smile on his face. He suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on the Queens Park Rangers player who was walking out of the locker room opposite.
After sending an apologetic look to Griezmann, Sun Wu quickly walked to Pochettino and whispered.
"What did he say?" Jesus asked in a low voice as he watched Sun Wu walk onto the court.
Pochettino looked confused, "Let me not replace him..."
"Is it because of Ozil?"
"Not quite like..."
Sun Wu currently has 17 assists in the league, only one less than the top player Ozil.
The game was dull in the second half. Queens Park Rangers wanted to attack, but Mane and Shaqiri, who later replaced Thomas Muller, were like two sharp knives stuck in their hearts.
Although the players of Queens Park Rangers are making more and more moves, Manchester United is not in a hurry to move forward. Sun Wu retreats very deep and uses running positions and passing and receiving to make the opponent unable to do anything. Once the opponent presses up, he will Send a direct pass to find the trident in front.
Old Redknapp had no idea what to do. He estimated that Aston Villa had already lost this round of the league. If they played Liverpool in the last round, they would probably lose.
Faced with Manchester United like this, the old Redknapp would rather give Arsenal a try. After all, the Gunners have a tradition of weakness at critical moments.
In the 76th minute, Valencia made a long pass from the backcourt, Cockell headed back, and Fletcher gave the header to Sun Wu.
Sun Wu immediately sent an overhead kick, and Griezmann successfully countered offside and scored his 24th league goal.
The overall situation has been decided,
The Manchester United fans accompanying the team in the stands had already started singing and dancing, and Sun Wu also began to look for opportunities.
In the 82nd minute, Sandro made a cross from the backcourt.
The ball rolled towards QPR's midfielder No. 8, neither fast nor slow.
At the same time, Sun Wu began to accelerate, accelerate, and accelerate again!
No. 8 passed the ball away immediately, and then prepared to take a few steps back to avoid the rushing Sun Wu.
But Sun Wu was already on the ground. He raised his spiked feet high and kicked the opponent's knees hard!
This was a foul that made people cover their eyes, and there were angry shouts from the stands.
Sun Wu had a smile on his face, and his smile was full of joy.
Joey Barton, the wait is finally here for you!
Before the on-duty referee Atkinson could run over, Sun Wu turned around and walked straight off the field. He raised his leg high and flashed his spikes in a flying tackle. It was obviously not aimed at the ball but at the opponent's knee. A red card.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years, but it is never too late for Sun Wu from morning to night!
I have always missed Joey Barton over the years, but this time, God finally opened his eyes and waited!
When he walked out of the locker room at halftime and saw Joey Barton, Sun Wu truly thanked the FA for the first time. This schedule was so suitable!
At the same time, Sun Wu also wants to thank Guardiola. If Manchester City and Swansea had not tied, Manchester United would not have guaranteed the championship if they won this game. Sun Wu might not have dared to tackle Joey Barton and miss the last round of the league.
Old Redknapp angrily complained about Sun Wu's bad foul on the sidelines. His son's career was ruined by fouls and injuries.
In the Sina live broadcast room.
Looking at the screen, Mike Phelan accompanied Sun Wu into the player tunnel, and then looked at Joey Barton being carried off the field on a stretcher, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu couldn't find anything to say for a moment.
They all thought of one person, Roy Keane, who ended his career with a flying kick to Manchester City midfielder Haaland because of an old grudge.
When Sun Wu tackled Joey Barton with both feet, everyone knew why.
In 2007, Best, who was considered the best midfield star under the age of 20 in the Premier League at the time, was viciously tackled by Joey Barton during the game. The serious injury forced Best to terminate his contract with the club.
This is revenge.
The game ended quickly. Atkinson didn't even give a second of stoppage time. Manchester United players celebrated on this lawn for winning the league championship for two consecutive years. Only Griezmann was a little unhappy. He knew he had no chance. Competing with Aguero for the league's top scorer.
The celebration will take place after the next league round, but Manchester United players celebrated briefly with champagne in the dressing room.
The next day, news came about Joey Barton. This guy was sent directly to the hospital. It was conservatively estimated that he would be out for more than half a year. Considering his age of 33, it may be a better choice to retire directly.
As Sun Wu expected, the media criticized his retaliatory tackle seven years later, and even some media claimed that it was a shame for Manchester United.
Not only the British media, but also the German media and the Spanish media also reported extensively on this flying tackle. The former was because of Royce's serious injury, and the latter was because of the Champions League final half a month later.
However, as Sun Wu expected, Manchester United fans greatly appreciated this flying tackle and ranked it with Roy Keane and Cantona.
You must know that in the game when these two legends caused trouble, Manchester United was tied, and Sun Wu was leading the game 3-0, and even the league championship trophy had been determined...
Obviously, Sun Wu is more cunning... This is Roy Keane's evaluation.
…
"Feeling good?"
"I feel good." Sun Wu nodded vigorously.
Sun Fei was so angry that she jumped up and down, "Aren't you afraid that others will pounce on you like this?"
"You're not afraid." Sun Wu poked Erha's butt with his toe, "right?"
Erha turned around and grabbed Sun Wu's slippers, threw them outside the door and howled again: "Host, I think you should be nicer to me."
"Just because you will be useful next season?" Sun Wu jumped over with one foot and kicked his foot again, "What function does it have... Hey, don't run away!"
Seeing Erha disappear in a flash, Sun Wu returned to the house angrily, "What? Are you still angry?"
"Do you know how much money this kick has cost you?" Sun Fei slapped the table, "I have already received calls from three sponsors, and the two endorsement deals that are about to be signed are likely to be shelved. "
Sun Wu curled his lips and sat down, "Sandezi has informed me, you know, right?"
"Don't change the subject!"
"I am in charge of the summer transfer market. I will serve as the interim head coach next season. I will have the opportunity to become a regular coach in January next year." Sun Wu said carefully: "Now, do you understand?"
"What?"
"As a coach, do I have high appeal in the transfer market?"
"Yes, but it is possible that other clubs will increase their prices."
"You have a lot of young stars on your hands. If I let you out..." Sun Wu squinted and said slowly: "Don't you think you should be nicer to me?"
Sun Fei was speechless. Her agency has actually signed many young stars. These are names that Sun Wu is familiar with, but they do not meet Sun Wu's high-level requirements or Manchester United cannot currently use them.
