Chapter 979 Klopp Fainted in the Toilet Crying

The annoying League Cup is finally over, but the FA Cup has begun.

The final of this event will have to wait until late May. The Premier League teams will start playing from the third round. During this period, they will play a total of seven games. Because most of the games will start after the start of the Champions League in the second half of the season, the FA Cup has also become Those middle and lower-tier teams are hotbeds for upsets.

Generally speaking, wealthy teams will only pay attention to the FA Cup after they are eliminated from the Champions League. This is why the FA Cup is called the "Thermos Cup". Arsenal has been in despair in the quarter-finals in recent years. .

However, this year, the Gunners did not even qualify for the group stage, so Wenger naturally paid more attention to it.

On January 30, just three days after the League Cup semi-finals, the fourth round of the FA Cup started. Manchester United was the first to play. They challenged Derby County away from home.

As soon as the starting lineup was announced, public opinion began to habitually criticize Sun Wu, criticizing him for not paying attention to the FA Cup and criticizing him for his contempt for Derby County.

Griezmann and Harry Kane did not enter the squad for this game, Sun Wu and Salah did not enter the starting lineup, and Van Dijk and Alderweireld were even on vacation in their hometowns and did not return to Carrington. Report to the base.

Basically the second-line lineup plus a few main rotation players who have just returned. Rojo, who has been recovering from a long-term injury, has returned, and Milner and Lucas have also recovered from minor injuries.

The game was uneventful. The midfield composed of Fletcher, Fabinho and Herrera firmly controlled the rhythm. The strength gap between the two sides was too big.

Although the front three of Lingard, Rashford, and Milner lacked tacit understanding and inspiration and were unable to play a threatening offensive, Rojo and Michael Keane scored twice during set-piece tactics.

Sun Wu looked at this scene with satisfaction. This is one of the changes of Manchester United this season. Last season, Manchester United scored a lot of goals from set kicks, but they were all direct free kicks. Rolf brought more changes in indirect free kicks. He learned a lot of good things from Rangnick.

Easily defeated Derby County 2-0 to advance to the fifth round of the FA Cup, and in a very economical way. Most of the main players got a rest. For example, Van Dijk and Griezmann were off for more than half a week. , which relaxed the tension in the minds of many Manchester United players.

On January 31, all the players returned to the team, and the coaching staff arranged a comprehensive physical examination. The examination sheet produced by Dr. Sver and the analysis report handed over by the psychological counselor made Sun Wu feel at ease, although he did not know what effect it would have. The effect, but at least, it looks pretty good on paper.

Carrington training ground.

Midfielder Fabinho stretched out his long legs to poke the ball away, then accelerated and hit Sun Wu hard. Fletcher took the opportunity to steal the ball away, and then immediately sent a long-distance diagonal ball.

Salah picked up the ball on the right wing and started cutting in. He first slowed down and suddenly accelerated past Michael Keane, and then faced Van Dijk with two consecutive fake moves and sent cross passes. Mane pushed and scored from the penalty spot.

"Bah bang bang..." Applause sounded from different places in the training ground.

Mike Phelan applauded and said: "The Egyptian and Mane can form the perfect two wings."

Uh, Klopp cried and fainted in the toilet...

Sun Wu is now looking forward to the Double Red Club next season, when Van Dijk, Fabinho, Mane, and Salah will all start...

Rolf hesitated and glanced at Sun Wu on the field.

"Best prefers Bernardo Silva."

"Hey, he changes formations often." Mike Phelan clicked his tongue twice, "But he is the head coach, he makes the choices. Of course, he needs to be responsible for the wrong choice."

Sun Wu on the court also felt this, but he was not worried about it. Although Mane and Salah both have strong breakthrough abilities, there are differences between the two.

Salah is better at dribbling and breaking through, and he has a stronger desire to cut inside and shoot. Moreover, his breakthrough is more skillful and he often fakes moves.

Mane's breakthrough relies more on speed. Although he is also good at cutting in and shooting, in addition to counterattacks, his goals mostly come from connecting and scoring in the penalty area. He has a strong ability to grab points.

So although the two types of people are very similar, they can be distinguished in Sun Wu's tactical system.

Mane and Salah can coexist, so Sun Wu is not worried about the Egyptian's lack of playing time after Mane's comeback.

The main problem lies with Bernardo Silva. It is difficult for the Portuguese to serve as a left winger because he lacks acceleration ability.

In the following training, Sun Wu arranged for Salah to switch to the left, but the Egyptian's performance immediately dropped to a level. After accelerating, it was difficult for him to score under the close marking of Coleman and Alderweireld. In the penalty area, you can only choose to accelerate and pass.

But if Salah moves in, he will perform well, Sun Wu thought slowly in his mind.

"Best!" Mike Phelan shouted from the sidelines, "Come to receive the award!"

The FA staff handed over the best trophy of the month, and Sun Wu tried his best to show a shy smile and looked at the reporters opposite.

The Manchester United players who were resting were all grinning at this scene. Sun Wu didn't play a few games in January. Of course, there was no reason to win the Premier League Player of the Month... He won the Premier League Coach of the Month.

At the age of 25, he took charge of Manchester United, the Premier League hegemon, and won a record-breaking 21 consecutive victories. At the age of 26, he won the Coach of the Month... That is for sure unprecedented. It is estimated that latecomers will have a hard time catching up. There are countless records waiting for Sun Wu to follow. break.

Many people are thinking that maybe at the end of any month, Sun Wu will win both Player of the Month and Coach of the Month awards.

Maybe in the future there will be a scene where the best player, best coach, best midfielder, and assist leader in the Premier League season will be combined into one.

On February 3, the 24th round of the league started. There were two highlight games in this round. Manchester City challenged the Red Army Liverpool away from home, and Chelsea faced Arsenal at home.

Manchester City is 2 points behind Manchester United and Chelsea is 4 points behind. They are both Manchester United's strong opponents this season. Therefore, after the afternoon training, almost all Manchester United players watched the live broadcast and their game will not be played until tomorrow.

"Black whistle!" Herrera shouted.

Phil Jones, De Gea, and Lingard all responded, "An absolute black whistle, how much did Marriner charge Manchester City!"

On the screen, the victory took away three points, and Guardiola, who was temporarily at the top of the standings, shook hands with referee Marriner with a smile on his face, while Klopp put his hands behind his back and angrily accused Marriner of a wrong decision.

Indeed, Sun Wu also felt that Marina was too partial to Manchester City. Only a quarter of an hour into the first half, Henderson was ejected with a red card for a foul on Jesus. This red card was very controversial.

The deadlock was not broken until the 70th minute of the second half. Jesus was tripped by Matip in the penalty area and Marriner awarded a penalty kick.

Sun Wu feels that in the Manchester Derby in the second half of the season, he needs to pay attention to Jesus, who is a good actor.

Liverpool's two last-minute counterattacks were ruled invalid. One was offside and there was nothing to say. The other time Marriner ruled that the ball had already gone out of bounds before Piszczek crossed the ball, but the slow motion of the replay showed that the ball did not completely go out of bounds.

Klopp on the sidelines...tsk, had to cry and fainted in the toilet again.

Sun Wu sighed. Manchester City is really unlucky this season. Similar things have happened more than once or twice.

In another highlight, Chelsea avenged Conte's 0-3 defeat in the first half of the season. This time Hazard made two passes and two shots. Chelsea swept Arsenal 4-1, with only one point less than Manchester United.

Tomorrow will be Manchester United's turn to make their debut. Sun Wu looked around at the players who had rested for most of the week. Although Manchester United cannot win all the time, Stoke City tomorrow cannot stop Manchester United's progress.
