Chapter 922 Protagonist Template

Returning to the locker room with a 2-0 lead, the players' mental state was completely different from the previous games. Of course, this also has a lot to do with Sun Wu's management style.

Due to the uniqueness of his identity, Sun Wu rarely uses a condescending attitude and tone. This makes the players have a relatively peaceful mentality and there is no obvious gap between them and Sun Wu.

Of course, this is not without its disadvantages. The authority of the head coach will be weakened, and loose management may cause trouble for Sun Wu.

However, the first thing Sun Wu has to do is to establish a firm foothold. Using tough management methods when he has just taken up his new post may very well lead to civil strife.

Sun Wu did not hesitate to speak highly of Van Dijk, the protagonist of the first half, and praised Mane, who opened the scoring, and Bernardo Silva, who can perfectly replace Thomas Muller in terms of type. However, he deliberately missed the chance and missed the opportunity again. Harry Kane.

Sensitively, Kane let out a long sigh of relief. Mike Phelan couldn't help but praise Sun Wu in his heart. He is really a natural leader.

During the halftime break, Sun Wu did not make substitutions or adjust his tactics. He only told his teammates not to relax their vigilance in the second half.

"The second half of the game is about to start. Manchester United's side... doesn't seem to have made any substitutions." Zhan Jun observed the players carefully, "Tottenham's side..."

"Mata is on the field. Let's see who he replaces. Generally speaking, Mata mainly plays right winger or attacking midfielder." Zhan Jun hesitated for a moment, and the camera gave a close-up of Dembele on the bench.

"Replaced Belgian midfielder Dembele, Pochettino asked Fellaini to stay on the court." Zhan Jun laughed: "In fact, at Manchester United two years ago, Pochettino was the one who purged Fellaini because the latter was difficult. Adapt to the tactics, but now Tottenham lacks an outstanding defensive midfielder. Although Fellaini moves slowly, he is more reliable defensively than Dembele."

"Paulinho performed very poorly last season and Levy sold him to China, but in fact the Brazilian midfielder's ability is no problem." Zhang Lu also smiled, "Fellaini... no foul, Tottenham's counterattack! "

"Mata's direct pass... is a little too big."

Van Dijk, who was extremely physically fit, resisted Lukaku, who had a strong desire to perform, and escorted the ball out of the baseline.

Sun Wu glanced at Fellaini, and then at Pochettino who kept gesticulating on the sidelines... Oops, this is stealing from his teacher, Mauricio, do you pay the tuition?

Although he was purged and left the team, the personal relationship between Fellaini and Sun Wu is not bad. This is because Sun Wu served as the interim head coach and led the team to an away game at Camp Nou. Fellaini's outstanding performance allowed Manchester United to succeed in the away game. Drawn with Barcelona.

Pochettino's use of Fellaini in the second half was very similar to that game. He simply didn't move forward because of his poor mobility. He stood in front of the central defender and became a barrier. He only rushed into the penalty area during set pieces or at the last critical moment.

This tactical adjustment can minimize Fellaini's impact on the tactical system and can also maximize the personal advantages of Afro.

Because Fellaini played as a defensive midfielder, Tottenham did not dare to use high-post pressing tactics, otherwise it would be easy for Sun Wu to penetrate the middle. However, Tottenham had the upper hand in the midfield fight. Today, Sun Wu's midfield partner is Milner and Kante.

Milner is okay, Kante... 168cm vs. 194cm, numb!

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Sun Wu ran to the sidelines, "Anthony!"

Griezmann, who was warming up, ran over, frowned and said: "Best, give me a guarantee!"

Mike Phelan and Rolf hesitated to speak, then one looked to the left and the other to the right...

The corner of Sun Wu's mouth twitched, "You will not be injured before December."

Griezmann smiled playfully, "What about after December?"

"If you don't change your clothes yet, after December you will..."

"OK OK, stop talking!" Rolf pulled Griezmann away, "You really believe it!"

"It's okay if you don't believe it!"

The same was true last season. Griezmann had a minor injury in August, and Pochettino prepared to buy Shaqiri. However, the signing failed, but Sun Wu claimed that Griezmann would be healthy for the next season...

Sun Wu gritted his teeth and used a medical insurance card for his friend. After calculation, he has used three of them, one for himself, and one for Lucas, the only choice for left back because of Luke Shaw's injury. Griezmann also got one.

Manchester United has plenty of personnel in various positions this season. Sun Wu really wants to accumulate points. You must know that points can now be used in collective training.

"Sun Wu ran to the sidelines... Let's see, Manchester United has made a substitution." Zhan Jun said with a smile: "Sun Wu is also the head coach of Manchester United... Many people on the domestic Internet say that he is the protagonist template."

"Haha, I retired briefly due to serious injury, then came back and quickly became a top midfielder in the Bundesliga and even Europe. Now I have become the core, captain and head coach of Manchester United!"

"It is indeed the protagonist's template, but it also requires Sun Wu to have such ability. Last season's Champions League final has proved everything." Zhang Lu said for a while, "Griezmann replaced Harry Kane. This was an unexpected substitution. , Kane played the entire game in the first three games."

The substitution worked very well, and Sun Wu also took advantage of Pochettino's deep impression of him...

In the 69th minute, Manchester United intercepted the ball in the backcourt and counterattacked. Sun Wu ran away and took Fellaini away, but Milner passed it to Bernardo Silva, who sent a precise through ball.

"Direct pass... oh, it's Mane!"

"Mane appears on the right, he cuts in... and crosses!"

"Griezmann points forward...Best shovels and shoots!"

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooal!"

"3-0, 3-0, Manchester United will have its first win of the season!"

"Pochettino lost to Best without any resistance!"

The camera did not follow Sun Wu, who was sliding and kneeling at the corner flag, but found Pochettino, who was expressionless on the sidelines. Tsk, tsk, it means a lot.

"A very smooth offense, rapid advancement, teamwork, precise through balls, timely crosses, and two points of response." Zhan Jun praised: "Manchester United's offense is like a cook undressing a cow. There are no obvious loopholes in Tottenham, but The ball rolled into the goal and Lloris didn't even make a save."

"This was something that Manchester United rarely saw last season... it happened against Real Madrid, and Klose was the center forward at that time." Zhang Lu hesitated: "It may be difficult for Harry Kane to adapt to this model."

"Perhaps Sun Wu has other considerations..."

Sun Wu, who had finished his suspension, delivered a pass and a shot at the beginning of his appearance. The Stretford stands burst into applause, and the king's shouts could be faintly heard.

Milner, Griezmann, Mane, and Silva who ran over also had smiles on their faces. This was the result of their repeated training at the training ground.

The difference from last season is that Bernardo Silva has the ability to accurately pass the ball that Herrera lacks. Of course, the Spanish midfielder retreats deep in the defense and lacks this kind of performance opportunity.

Sun Wu ran to the left and took away Fellaini. Griezmann in the middle did not move laterally but restrained Tottenham's two central defenders. Mane suddenly switched to the right to receive a direct pass.

Then Griezmann ran forward from the center, and Sun Wu moved in to grab the back point. Although Tottenham's defense did not make any mistakes, it was unable to withstand Manchester United's mercury-like attack.

3-0, the overall situation was decided. Sun Wu directed the team to recycle and start a counterattack, and in the 80th minute, Rashford replaced the outstanding Bernardo Silva.

In the 84th minute, Kanter stole the ball and split the ball. Coleman passed the ball from the sideline. Rashford ran thirty meters and passed. Griezmann volleyed from far away and scored the first goal of the season.

In the 85th minute, Sun Wu used Lingard to replace himself and used up the last substitution.

In stoppage time, Lamela scored in a chaotic battle to save Tottenham's face.

In the end, Manchester United, which had a draw and a loss in the first two games, swept Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 at home, with Van Dijk becoming the man of the match.

Pochettino was ashamed at the post-match press conference. He could only emphasize that Tottenham's summer signings are not over yet.

However, Sun Wu disappointed the reporters. Instead of being complacent, he used the example of Pochettino's poor initial record at Manchester United two years ago when he first arrived.

"I believe that under Mauricio, Tottenham will be a very, very good team in the Premier League."

Looking at the reporters below with a smile, Sun Wu added in his heart that Tottenham can be great, but the championship belongs to Manchester United.
