Chapter 931 Getting Used to It
Seeing Harry Kane score again, the players on the bench all looked strange. They all remembered Sun Wu's prediction... This guy refused to score for two months of the year, July and August. .
Falcao is eager to try. Only such a competitor can excite him. He played in all three games of the national team, scoring five goals in three games. The media commented that the "Tiger" who moved to Manchester United has returned to his peak period.
Klopp on the other side bit his lip a little helplessly. This kind of mistake was unacceptable to him, but it was also beyond his control... Damn Best, he should have stepped in to snatch Van Dijk earlier!
Look at Van Dijk, except for being a little too cautious, he is almost a flawless central defender.
But Van Dijk's ability is not only reflected in defense.
In the 68th minute, Sun Wu took a left corner kick. Van Dijk from the forward point got in front of Lovren and headed the ball. Lucas from the back point scored with an alley-oop header.
"Another one, this time it's Lucas Hernandez!"
"The 18-year-old French defender who cost Manchester United €18 million in release money also scored his first goal!"
Seeing Lucas and Van Dijk embracing, Zhan Jun smacked his lips, "The one who sent out assists was also a newcomer who had just joined. Van Dijk, who was selected by Sun Wu, cost Manchester United 16 million pounds."
“Although the price is high, I must say that at least from now on, both transactions are worth the money!”
"There are also Pavard, Kante, Harry Kane..." Zhang Lu said quietly from the side: "It feels like Sun Wu is playing a football manager game..."
Two goals behind. Although Klopp's face was angry, his heart was very calm. Maybe he was used to it... At least this time it wasn't a stoppage-time winner.
In the 71st minute, Liverpool finally replaced Coutinho, and at the same time replaced Henderson with Delph to strengthen the attack.
But now that Manchester United is in full swing, Coutinho rarely has a chance to touch the ball. Delph wanted to move forward but was suppressed in the backcourt by Manchester United's offense.
In the 78th minute, Bernardo Silva took the ball on the right rib and sent a direct pass after continuous fake moves. Sun Wu took the ball at the bottom line and tried to cross, but Robertson blocked it.
"Slow down... To be honest, both Liverpool full-backs performed very well today." Zhan Jun commented, "Arnold is still a bit immature, but Robertson is good at both offense and defense."
As soon as he finished speaking,
Sun Wu turned around to protect the ball and walked back. Bernardo Silva had already come to respond.
After Sun Wu made a pass, he suddenly accelerated, causing Robertson to catch up, and then stepped on the ball backwards with the sole of his left foot.
"Best... oh, Pavard... cross directly!"
In fact, Robertson was already very wary of Pavard, who could move forward at any time on the wing, but Sun Wu's acceleration caused his steps to be disrupted. By the time he pounced back, Pavard had already completed the cross.
Harry Kane leaped high and beat Lovren with a header, and Griezmann came out from behind Matip and dived to score.
"5 to 2, Manchester United is going to go on a killing spree today." Zhan Jun, a Red Army fan, couldn't bear to watch. "If we continue to fight, I think the Double Reds will... return to normal."
Klopp on the sidelines was at a loss. He was wondering where he could buy an outstanding central defender in the winter transfer window. He didn't expect to find a treasure like Van Dijk at a low price, but he could always buy something with a lot of money. It's worth it...
The Liverpool players on the field were quite conflicted. The score of 5 to 2 was naturally unbearable for them, but pressing forward might lead to a massacre. How did Manchester United play today? There were currently 7 shots on target in the game. Got 5 balls.
Sun Wu actually wanted to stop. He knew that if he continued to exert pressure, the guys on the opposite side would probably be cruel if they couldn't show off their faces. The few points he had now could not be compared with last season.
For this reason, Sun Wu even replaced all the front tridents. Unfortunately, the new tridents were very, very hungry.
In the 86th minute, Lingard broke through in the middle and was intercepted, but Mane successfully counterattacked and scored with Lovren before entering the penalty area.
"Mane...shoot!"
"And...Falcao!"
"Goooooooooooooooooooooal!"
"6 to 2, a massacre. Best has an enviable good card in his hands. This is Falcao's fourth goal in the last two games. In addition to the national team competition, he has scored 9 goals this season. It’s a ball!”
Everyone else ran to Falcao to celebrate the goal, but Sun Wu ran to Lingard... I was really afraid that this guy was injured. Milner and Herrera were both injured, and Fabinho was still unable to be used. Lingard Germany is the only changed piece in the middle of the midfield.
Fortunately, with good luck, although Lingard was helped to the sidelines, Dr. Swale made a harmless gesture to Sun Wu.
In the end, Manchester United swept Liverpool at home with a disparity of 6 to 2, continuing Manchester United's unbeaten record in the past three years and surprising many people outside the industry.
Before the game, many people believed that Sun Wu, the new head coach, was slightly inferior to Klopp, but the result proved everything.
Since he won the Double Red Club, Sun Wu naturally did not miss the post-match press conference.
However, Sun Wu was very personable this time. He did not criticize Liverpool players like he did in the previous two seasons. Instead, he greatly praised Arnold and Robertson, believing that under Klopp, they will become the best pair of full-backs in the Premier League.
Klopp is even more graceful. He claimed that he knew Sun Wu's tactical command ability very well during the Bundesliga. Being able to defeat Real Madrid, AC Milan, and sweep Bayern Munich was not just luck... Well, Klopp is doing this. Desperately poisoning milk.
To be fair, Klopp was a little dissatisfied with the score, but he had nothing to say about the loss. The frontcourt attack combination may not be much different between the two sides, but the defense has too many loopholes, not to mention the all-pervasive Sun Wu.
But the reporters below are all dissatisfied. Why do we expect you two to fight each other? It’s best to fight. Who wants to see you two brothers having fun?
The day after the game, Woodward went to the office to look for Sun Wu.
"Best, I think we can start discussing contract renewal." Woodward waved his hand excitedly, "Okay, if you want to buy a superstar in the future, I may have objections, but in principle I support you unconditionally for less than 20 million pounds! "
Sweeping Liverpool 6-2, Sun Wu won not only one game and 3 points, but also the outside world's confidence in Sun Wu and Manchester United. What he won was even more support from the fans.
At the same time, in yesterday's game, Van Dijk, Pavard, Kante, Lucas, Harry Kane, and Bernardo Silva all performed well, and Falcao, who came off the bench, scored a goal, which made the media Huge praise for Manchester United's summer signings.
The most direct manifestation is that Manchester United's stock price has risen again, and the magnitude is not small.
Woodward has learned the lessons of Pochettino last season and hopes to secure Manchester United's future with a long-term contract.
