Chapter 835

"This is a stunning work of art!"

Mortensen gave the goal the highest rating...well, a bit of an exaggeration.

However, Vertonghen really did not make a mistake. He concealedly grabbed Sun Wu's jersey hem with his left hand, sideways blocked Sun Wu and the goal, and used his strong body to oppress the opponent.

But Vertonghen did not expect Sun Wu to send the pass in such a way.

With his left foot on the turf, Vertonghen was pushed hard with his left hand, while his right foot was extended to stop Thomas Müller's cross.

The ball didn't hit the ground, and Sun Wu bumped it slightly, twice... Then suddenly he knocked the ball behind him with his heel, and deliberately knocked the ball high.

Vertonghen, who was blocked by Sun Wu, had no time to react.

Loris, who was blocked by Sun Wu and Vertonghen, had no time to react.

Eriksson had already rushed into the penalty area, but failed to catch up... Lukaku jumped high and pushed Blind aside, twisted his waist and shook his head in the air, and the ball flew into the goal without any suspense.

"The feel of the ball is really good." Mike Phelan praised from the sidelines: "The feeling of him stopping the ball is very similar to Paul."

"Scholes?" Miguel disagreed, shaking his head and said, "It's more like the Ice Prince in the Gunner period."

Beaten by a goal that could be contending for the best of the season, both Vertonghen and Lloris were devastated, as was Van Gaal on the sidelines.

Theoretically, Tottenham’s defense made no mistakes. Although Thomas Muller was unmarked, he was not threatening to pass the ball, and no one was missed in the penalty area, but Sun Wu used his heels to turn decay into magic.

Van Gaal's face was flushed. This season, he wanted to play The Return of the King, but after half a season, he realized that people didn't take him seriously.

After taking a 1-0 lead, Tottenham were not in a hurry to equalize the score, but instead recovered or even gave up possession to fight back.

The three teams of Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool all have common characteristics, often scoring consecutive goals in a short period of time to kill the game.

But Manchester United, who regained possession of the ball, disappointed Van Gaal. Sun Wu retreated and steadily controlled the rhythm to finish the rest of the first half.

During the intermission, Pochettino rarely praised Sun Wu for his assists. In his opinion, Sun Wu is the captain of the team, a world-class midfielder, and also serves as the assistant coach of the team. transcript.

But unlike Mourinho, Pochettino, the former Argentine international central defender, is too aware of the difficulty of Sun Wu's assist.

From the unthinkable choice, to stopping the ball and bouncing the ball lightly, to hitting the ball with the back heel without turning back, Pochettino admitted with a smile, "Fortunately, I didn't have Best when I played football."

The dressing room was lively, but Pochettino was frowning just five minutes into the second half, and Lingard, who started in place of the injured Herrera, was also injured when he was hit by Dembele's flying tackle and injured his knee. .

Luke Shaw and Januzaj are still out, Alderweireld is in, Herrera is in, now it's Lingard's turn...

"Manchester United this season is really unlucky. Fortunately, the position of central defender is not seriously injured. So far, only Alderweireld has been injured." Zhan Jun said with a smile: "Although there are constant injuries in the midfield , but relatively speaking, there are more players in rotation.”

In fact, Zhan Jun’s thoughts...Miguel and Dr. Swell also mentioned it some time ago. Fortunately, the central defenders are not injured much. Sun Wu sneered at this. Is the sick king okay?

Seeing Lingard receiving treatment on the sidelines, Van Gaal shouted and directed Tottenham to press forward. He tried to equalize the score with the number ahead.

But Sun Wu once again let Van Gaal down.

In the 54th minute, both Dembele and Fellaini pressed up, but Sun Wu insisted on not passing forward, but played two consecutive matches with Griezmann and Thomas Muller who were pulled back temporarily in the middle.

"Griezmann...very tacit understanding...Sun Wu speeds up!"

"Oh, foul, Fellaini pulled Sun Wu down."

This was an undisputed tactical foul. Sun Wu, who had already accelerated, wiped it away first, and Fellaini stretched out his hand reflexively to pull Sun Wu down.

"Dive, shit flop!" Van Gaal jumped on the sidelines and cursed. Although he couldn't see it clearly from a distance, it didn't prevent him from yelling at the Chinese.

Both Vertonghen and Rose came up, but instead of accusing Sun Wu, they pleaded with the referee... Fellaini had already received a yellow card in the first half.

Fellaini smiled wryly and stretched out his hand to pull Sun Wu, who blinked.

Among the players who were forced to leave Manchester United, Fellaini and Sun Wu have the best relationship.

Last season, Sun Wu made Fellaini a key weapon in the away group match against Barcelona, ​​and finally succeeded in winning a draw.

Sun Wu also publicly criticized Januzaj on the training ground several times with Fellaini, who has a professional attitude. He left Manchester United only because his technical characteristics did not conform to Manchester United's tactical system.

"You can't blame me." Sun Wu shrugged and pointed to Dembele, "Your positions are too flat and there is no hierarchy."

Everything is in his plan. Once he breaks through Fellaini and Dembele, Tottenham are likely to lose the ball. The key is that Tottenham's formation is forward, with two defensive midfielders in parallel positions. There is no front and rear depth protection. To break through, they can only make tactical fouls.

Fellaini sighed and didn't say a word. Seeing that the referee still took out a second yellow card, he could only end sadly.

Seeing that Fellaini was sent off, Pochettino took advantage of the heat and replaced Lingard who was still trying to hold on with Mane. Fletcher did not make the squad for this game, and Carrick, who had poor mobility, was the only defensive midfielder. , In the case of 11 against 10 and leading by one goal, Pochettino wanted to try this new formation.

After Mane played, Thomas Muller moved to the middle, and Sun Wu's position was more flexible. The two marginals Ashley Young and Valencia also boldly pressed forward.

In the 63rd minute, Sun Wu received a cross pass from Valencia on the right flank and made a beautiful No Look Pass. Mane entered the small penalty area and made a strong cross. There was chaos in front of him, and Dembele accidentally scored. Own goals.

2 to 0, 3 points is no problem, Sun Wu glanced at the angry Van Gaal on the sidelines, and decided to kill them all!

In the 68th minute, after Sun Wu cooperated with Ashley Young on the left, he suddenly stepped on the ball with the sole of his foot. Griezmann directly sent the ball with his left foot into the penalty area. Lukaku and Vertong from the front point Heng missed both, and Thomas Muller from the back point beat Blind with a header.

"Thomas plays in the middle, and Rojo is more adaptable than Jones." Jesus reminded Pochettino in a low voice, "The Argentine has a wider range of activities and is faster. Even if he makes the first mistake, he has a chance to recover."

Just now Thomas Muller rushed into the penalty area to grab a point. In order not to lose touch with the formation, Schneiderlin also pushed forward to the 30-meter area, and the Argentine defender Rojo pushed to the midfield.

Pochettino did not speak, just nodded slightly, but if Alderweireld returns, it will be difficult for Rojo to grab the main position from Phil Jones. The latter has performed very well in the past two seasons and is now the The absolute main defender of both the national team and the club.

Stability, concentration, tenacious fighting spirit, accurate positioning, strong air control ability and not too slow.

Another point is also very important. Compared with Manchester United in the Ferguson era, only Phil Jones has a stable main position. Valencia and Ashley Young were not the absolute main players back then. Back then he was a winger.

The Manchester United coaching staff is already discussing the pros and cons of the new formation, and Van Gaal is already ashamed, trying to remember... When I was kicked out by Hoeness, what was the score of Schalke 04 against Bayern?

Sun Wu really killed it this time. In the past year, Van Gaal, who was dismissed from Manchester United, was the head coach of the Dutch national team, but his side job was to constantly evaluate Manchester United's tactics. Among them, Manchester United was defeated by Ma The competition to eliminate this game was criticized by Van Gaal.

Sun Wu has dealt with many head coaches more than once or twice, such as Mourinho, Heynckes, Guardiola, Wenger, Klopp, most of them are grievances, but only Van Gaal is very annoying.

In the 78th minute, Sun Wu dunked Dembele outside the penalty area, and the left-footed arc kicked into the far corner, 4-0.

In the 85th minute, Klose, who came off the bench, received a cross from Valencia and scored from the penalty spot, 5-0.

At this time, the live broadcast shot was shown to Levy, the chairman of Tottenham on the highest stand of the White Hart Lane Stadium. This bald Jew looked very ugly.

In the end, this game, which Klopp and Guardiola had high hopes for, ended with a 6-0 disparity. It was Rashford who came off the bench to score the last goal for Manchester United.
