Chapter 967 Salah Is New Here

Newcastle United is the most unique club in the Premier League. They have the most loyal but also the most impatient fans in the Premier League, the most unreliable club executives in the Premier League, and a club president who will definitely answer the wrong question whenever asked. .

Before the rise of Chelsea, Newcastle United was the most famous nerve agent in the Premier League. They could defeat championship-level teams unexpectedly, and they could also lose to the vice squad leader by a big score.

Newcastle United have slid into the abyss this season after sacking Alan Pardew, their longest-serving manager in the last decade.

But Manchester United played very uncomfortable in this game. Although McLaren has long been a laughing stock, the tactical ideas he chose are very correct. He allowed Newcastle United's "hard" characteristic to be released to the greatest extent.

"Salah lost the ball again!" Zhan Jun shook his head and sighed, "The Egyptian winger tried to pass Tiote, but was cut off by the Ivorian midfielder."

Fortunately, Newcastle United's counterattack failed this time. Kante quickly pressed forward and counterattacked, destroying the ball and sending it out of the sideline.

Sun Wu pulled up Salah, frowned and said: "You don't need to open up the lateral space, but you don't have to go inside and use your speed to get rid of him."

Salah explained with a grimace, "In Serie A, this should be a foul."

"But this is the Premier League." Sun Wu squeezed Salah's shoulder hard, "You are very stable and can handle him."

But five minutes later, Salah was intercepted by Tiote again. The Egyptian, who had not yet completed his transformation, had not had time to adapt to the intensity of Manchester United's competition in the Premier League.

At Chelsea, both Mourinho and Conte place great emphasis on defense. The defensive system they have created requires the joint efforts of everyone, so opponents facing the Blues often do not take the initiative to choose hand-to-hand combat.

But Manchester United is different. After the training of Pochettino and Sun Wu, the Red Devils are now better at technology and smooth cooperation, so today Newcastle United chose a hand-to-hand battle in the midfield and backcourt.

Salah did not have enough psychological expectations for this and was knocked down frequently by the opponent. In this level of physical confrontation, whether a foul is committed or not depends mainly on the referee's standards in the Premier League. Today, the referee's standards were obviously very loose.

This time Salah immediately jumped up to counterattack after losing the ball, with a good attitude...but the ball had already been passed away by Tiote.

There was a burst of applause in the stands of St. James' Park. Newcastle United's most popular player Sissoko used a powerful explosive force to shake off Herrera from the center and forced a breakthrough past Kante.

"It's dangerous... Oh, Sun Wu's kick... is so cruel!"

Sun Wu, who was chasing back at high speed, used a flying shovel from the side to shovel Sissoko away. The tall French midfielder flew out like an out-of-control heavy truck, knocking over Lucas who was coming to defend him.

Regarding Sissoko's breakthrough, Sun Wu made a special explanation before the game. Although it is definitely not fast, his explosive power is good. The speed is impressive together, and the accuracy of dribbling is also very good. This is Newcastle United's best performance in the midfield and frontcourt. A threatening routine.

The key is that Sissoko's breakthrough is not that one-sided. He will distribute the ball at the right time, and the Dutch midfielder Wijnaldum who penetrates the midfield is Newcastle's top scorer this season, having scored 10 goals. The ball is gone.

Sun Wu is very aware of Wijnaldum's abilities. He is a very comprehensive midfielder. He can play as a defensive midfielder, central midfielder, attacking midfielder and even as a winger. His back row insertion later became part of Klopp's tactical system. important link.

Sun Wu ignored the yellow card shown to him by the referee behind his back and ran straight over to find Salah, "Did you see that? Only at this level you need to fall to the ground!"

The corner of Salah's mouth twitched, "But..."

"You are very stable on the ground and are not afraid of physical confrontation at all. You first use your speed to beat them, and then you show your skills and cut inside..."

"Uh, to this extent..." Salah's eyes were complicated.

"What's wrong?" Sun Wu frowned and glanced back. Several Newcastle United players had already come to make trouble. The stretcher team on the sidelines had already entered the field and was carrying Sissoko out...

Sun Wu raised his head and glanced at the stands, tut. Several shirtless fans were shaking their fists and trying to climb into the stadium. A large number of police officers were holding up shields to block them. It was indeed the stadium where fans caused the most troubles in the Premier League.

However, Sun Wu was not affected, and instead felt much better. Tsk tsk, Sissoko was off the field, and Newcastle United was basically hopeless in this game. Only Wijnaldum was left to support the overall situation.

"I was saying just now that the score is still 0-0 after 70 minutes. The head coaches of both sides can consider making substitutions. Now Newcastle have to make substitutions first..." Zhan Jun smiled and said, "Manchester United has also made substitutions, Sun Wu Yongbo Nado Silva comes on for Salah."

"Salah's performance was very average, and he showed good form in several dribbles, but overall he has not integrated into Manchester United's tactical system." Zhang Lu commented: "The number of goals conceded is a bit too many, no wonder Conte refused to let him Get on the field.”

Mike Phelan hugged Salah who came off the field and whispered a few words of comfort, and Fletcher on the bench threw his coat over.

"Bernardo." Sun Wu made a gesture, and the latter nodded in response.

Next, Ivory Coast midfielder Tiote, who has performed best in this game so far, completely fainted. This powerful midfielder has a very strong sweeping ability and is very good at using his body, but Sun Wu and Bernardo Silva The change of position left him scratching his head.

In the 76th minute, Sun Wu took the ball from the right and cut inside with his left foot to find Tiote. Bernardo Silva detoured from the center and ran to the outside.

Facing Sun Wu's fake pass, Tiote hesitated a little. Sun Wu immediately stepped forward to speed up the cut, and then fell to the ground before Tiote and hooked the ball with his left foot.

Bernardo Silva easily reached the small penalty area with the ball, made a pass with his right foot, but smashed the ball away from Italian defender Thornton, and then passed the ball with his left foot from a small angle.

It's hard to tell whether this kick was a pass or a shot, but it was quite powerful. Newcastle goalkeeper Krul barely made a save, and Griezmann's shot from behind hit an empty goal.

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!"

"Griezmann broke the deadlock and Newcastle United's efforts for more than an hour were in vain."

"The assist from Bernardo Silva, haha, the winning assist just a few minutes after coming on."

Following Mortensen's teasing, the live broadcast gave a close-up of Salah on the bench. The Egyptian's eyes were a little dull and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"This goal... finally came in. Manchester United finally broke the deadlock. This is Griezmann's 12th goal in the league this season." Zhang Lu breathed a sigh of relief, "The record of 18 consecutive victories is right in front of us, and there are still 15 minutes left. about."

"Tie 18 consecutive wins, but want to create a historical record of 19 consecutive wins..." Zhan Jun said with a smile: "Manchester United's opponent in the next round of the league is Liverpool."

"Double Red Club, what a coincidence!"

Sun Wu on the field had no time to think about the next double red meeting. When Griezmann celebrated the goal, he ran to the sidelines.

A minute later, Manchester United used up the remaining two substitutions.

Harry Kane replaced Falcao, who failed to score in the first half, and then Luke Shaw replaced starting midfielder Herrera.

"Manchester United has changed its formation again." Zhan Jun looked at it carefully with interest, "This is 343...Coleman and Luke Shaw became the wings, and Lucas, Van Dijk and Phil Jones formed the three central defenders. Specially playing the defensive midfielder, Sun Wu presses forward...it's a bit dangerous."

But Zhan Jun was slapped in the face as soon as he said these words. This is not a danger, but an adventure.

What risk?

Of course it's a risk.

The so-called risk may result in loss of money, but may also lead to a greater income than expected.

McAllen loudly ordered Newcastle United to press forward from the sidelines. He was unwilling to lose three points just like this.

But what he didn't expect was that Sun Wu chose to change the formation to 343, drastically increasing his position in front of the formation to press. Newcastle United's backcourt was in chaos, and there was no possibility of organization at all.

Although Bernardo Silva and Luke Shaw, who just came on the field, received yellow cards, the effect was very good.

In the 81st minute, Coleman and Bernardo Silva intercepted the ball on the right side of the frontcourt.

Bernardo Silva took the ball and cut diagonally inwards. Coleman on the right advanced at high speed, and Sun Wu on the left ran out of space.

But this time the Portuguese deftly passed Tiote and then sent an exquisite pass.

"Silva...oh, what a beautiful pass...passing into the penalty area..."

"Griezmann...no! It's Luke Shaw...crossing!"

"Best...is this a foul...a penalty kick?"

"Oh, Harry Kane from behind sent the ball into the empty net!"

"Beep..."

"Although Sun Wu was pulled down, the goal was effective." Zhan Jun: "Harry Kane scored just after he came on the field... Haha, the camera showed Falcao again."

Sun Wu, who was pulled down by Coloccini, did not touch the ball once in this attack, but actually played a key role.

It was Sun Wu who quickly approached and ran out of the open space after stealing the ball. Tiote was frightened and was unexpectedly passed by Bernardo Silva.

It was Sun Wu who quickly penetrated into the penalty area and attracted the attention of the Newcastle defender. Harry Kane, who was in the back, could easily complete the goal without any difficulty.

Mike Phelan on the sidelines was stroking the No. 7 chess piece on the tactical board. Best may be the one with the strongest execution of tactics in the team.

In a four-back formation, Sun Wu rarely enters the penalty area, but in a three-back formation, due to the lack of a central partner, Sun Wu needs to frequently enter the penalty area. Obviously, Sun Wu's movement just now fully demonstrated this. .

Sun Wu knows better than anyone what to do under what circumstances.

At 0-1, Newcastle players still had some fighting spirit, but at 0-2, there was basically no hope.

But Sun Wu did not stop, directing Manchester United to continue to apply pressure. In stoppage time, Sun Wu's left-footed long shot from the outside was saved by the goalkeeper. Harry Kane took the ball on the right side of the penalty area and turned around to pass the ball. Griezmann headed the ball. Scored twice.

With their outstanding performance in the last fifteen minutes, Manchester United defeated Newcastle United 3-0 in an away game and won 18 consecutive games, tying the winning streak record set by Manchester City in the first half of the season.

In this regard, the "Manchester Evening News" commented that although, like Manchester City, the last few games were made at the last moment, Manchester United's performance was convincing, at least not based on the magic of one or two players. Instead of killing, they relied on the overall offense and Best's tactical adjustments.

This evaluation is really not low, because although the "Manchester Evening News" claims to be fair, it has always been slightly biased towards Blue Moon.

Counting it down, since Pochettino was sent off in last year's Champions League final, Sun Wu has won a total of four championships as head coach or temporarily exercising his powers as head coach, including the Champions League, Community Shield, European Super Cup, and Club World Cup. cup.

In addition to tying Manchester City's 18-game winning streak, Lucas, Harry Kane, Kante, Pavard, and Bernardo Silva who were bought by name all performed well. Sun Wu is now the best player in the entire European football team. The popular fried chicken.

Countless other fans are envious of Manchester United. Look at the deal more than two years ago. 70 million euros bought a world-class midfielder and a world-class head coach. Santoku is now recognized as no better than his predecessor. David Gill was inferior.

But at the same time, countless clubs are wary of those Manchester United scouts peeking into their youth training camps. Countless young players are yearning to be named by Sun Wu. Even the Manchester United youth training school told Sun Wu that the number of young players who signed up this year surge.

At this time, Sun Wu stood on the sidelines of the training ground and carefully observed Salah's data through the coaching system.

It's really pretty. Except for his weak header, there are basically no obvious shortcomings. Among them, his reaction and explosive power are similar to Mane's, and they are the best in the team.

Mental strength, decisiveness, teamwork, and physical fitness are also good, and his physical balance is the highest in the team.

Therefore, Salah's performance in the last game was more due to his incompatibility with Manchester United's tactics. Too many dribbling attempts made him look inferior.

You know, after Cesc Fabregas was abandoned by Conte, Chelsea's frontcourt organization basically relied on the inspiration of the players, so Salah likes to take the ball to break through and distribute the ball, rather than running.

However, these are minor problems, and Salah's personal technical characteristics have basically been finalized.

"This is your personal running route map." Rolf handed a stack of paper to Salah. "The red line is counterattack, the blue line is positional warfare, and the green line is the on-the-spot attack after pressing high."

After flipping through the stack of papers, Salah swallowed. He didn't expect Manchester United's techniques and tactics to be so meticulous.

Sun Wu came over and patted the Egyptian on the shoulder, "This is Manchester United, not Manchester City, so the running route is not so rigid. Even if you choose other routes, there is no problem. The key lies in the effect. If the effect is good, everything is OK. If the effect is bad, you will be fine." You have to go step by step.”

"Understood." Salah nodded heavily.

In the next three days of training, Sun Wu deliberately allowed Salah to participate more in the offense during every confrontation training to observe Salah's running route and other habits.

"Beep!"

"The winger is holding the ball behind his back?" Rolf looked at Salah with a wry smile. "You have to distribute the ball to Pavard as soon as possible, instead of taking the ball behind your back and playing alone. It will be difficult for you to get rid of Lucas behind you."

Salah is a relatively silent guy. He didn't say anything and just nodded, thinking that Manchester United did not pay as much attention to players' personal abilities as other teams, which meant that they paid more attention to overall tactics.

Five minutes later, there was a burst of applause on the training ground, and Salah rarely smiled.

In the attack just now, Kante stole the ball in the midfield, and Milner immediately sent a through ball. Salah showed his unparalleled explosive power, getting rid of Lucas in an instant, and then overtaking from the outside and forcing a breakthrough through Michael Keane. After entering the penalty area, he spiked the ball to get rid of the defender Phil Jones, and easily pushed the ball into the far corner.

This kind of long-distance running to score goals is difficult to see in today's Manchester United. If Griezmann wants to play alone, he prefers to start within the 30-meter area, while Mane, another man who can be compared with Salah, is still lying in the hospital bed. Woolen cloth.

After the training, Sun Wu took Salah to sit in the locker room.

"You are not the substitute I chose for Mane." Sun Wu first set the tone for this conversation.

"Whoever is in good condition will play."

"If you are confident, you can choose individual performances, such as post-ups."

Sun Wu was deeply impressed by Salah's post-up play, which is difficult to see from other wingers.

After chatting for about ten minutes, Salah looked more and more relaxed.

Finally, Sun Wu winked and said, "You and Mane, Griezmann, and Bernardo Silva will play whoever is in better shape, but I hope it doesn't end up like Harry Kane or Falcao."

Salah couldn't help but laugh. Today's football generally does not require two centers to play at the same time. Whoever substitutes Harry Kane or Falcao and who scores has become the most unique scenery in the Premier League this season.
