Chapter 662: Hard bones

What is a loyal fan?
Not every fan who buys a Manchester United season ticket can be called a loyal fan, nor is every fan sitting in the stands of the Old Trafford stadium cheering for Manchester United is a loyal fan.
There are many criteria for judging loyal fans, but one thing is certain.
Even if the score is behind, even if the situation is passive, even if the team is in adversity, but as long as the players on the court struggle hard and sweat, those standing in the stands still waving flags and singing loudly, must be Manchester United’s loyal fans.
Sun Wu raised his head and looked across the Stretford stand. Several red (naked) shirtless fans were very conspicuous, standing on the seats and waving red flags in their hands.
The most loyal fans are singing loudly, shooting at Griezmann, passing the ball at Sun Wu, and giving them exclusive customized songs when De Gea makes a save.
The difficulty of the first game in 2014 exceeded the expectations of Pochettino and Sun Wu. Cardiff City used a tight defense and the tactics of the side raid made Manchester United miserable.
Obviously, Cardiff City has a deep research on Manchester United's midfield. The tactics are very targeted. The fast-paced Nigerian striker Odem Wenji stared at Luke Shaw's frequent raids, and Manchester United started. Double back Mota and Cleverley are difficult to provide adequate support for the wing.
Just 5 minutes into the opening, Manchester United was hit in the head.
Odem Wingie scored off Luke Shaw, and grabbed a tricky half-height pass before Mota who was defending. Evans stared at him. His friend Fraser Campbell A shot from the edge of the penalty area broke.
Manchester United counterattacked after the goal was conceded, but Cardiff City shrank to defend, and even Oldham Winge and Campbell retracted within 40 meters.
Of course, even if Cardiff City defended with full force, Sun Wu with a "God Perspective" could still find a gap, but today the goalkeeper at Old Trafford Stadium rejected Sun Wu and Griezmann’s two musts in a row. Goal, Cardiff City successfully defended the 1-0 victory in the first half.
The start of the second half is exactly the same as the first half.
In the 49th minute, Cardiff City played a beautiful counterattack. Oldham Winge broke through the right road and passed Luke Shaw and Cleverly into the penalty area to vigorously draw the middle road. Evans, who was entangled with Campbell, made a clearance. He didn't kick the ball properly, the ball bounced on his support foot and ran into the near corner...
Sun Wu took a deep breath. This is the last game of the Christmas schedule. I didn't expect to hit a hard bone, and Manchester United's luck is really bad... not just two goal posts.
Carrick was injured again during training, so Mota had to start continuously. The state of the Italian midfielder was affected by the intensive schedule.
Smalling accumulated a yellow card suspension, Ferdinand took a break, and Alder Vereld, who was getting better, had a slight injury. Pochettino had to let Evans start the game... The psychologically weak Irish defender could not bear a blow.
"Manchester United are in big trouble, this is the first time they have fallen behind by two goals this season." Zhan Jun shook his head and said: "Although Evans made two consecutive mistakes leading to a goal drop, Cardiff City's tactics are very targeted. "
"It's true. Oldham Wenji is in good shape, Luke Shaw can't deal with it alone, and Manchester United's defense on the left is a little weak." Zhang Lu nodded in agreement: "Campbell is also very good."
"Campbell and Evans are excellent Manchester United youth academies, and they are the same batch. The two were loaned to Antwerp, Belgium, and then loaned to Sunderland at the same time. The difference is that Evans stayed at Manchester United, and Campbell failed to stay."
"Manchester United needs to make adjustments..." Zhan Jun said half-stop, "Pochettino finally replaced... Oh, it was Schneiderlin, a former Southampton midfielder who had just joined Manchester United. He used to be Bochet. Tino's veteran."
"Wait a minute, Sun Wu ran past..." Zhang Lu looked at the close-up shot of Sun Wu appearing on the screen in doubt.
"Best, go forward." whispered: "Transfer the ball to Mota, you will enter the penalty area more, and Klozer will be replaced next time..."
Sun Wu's eyes flickered, and he asked after listening to Jesus: "Grizman goes to the center?"
"It's only him, Klose's physical condition is not ideal, and Giggs will play."
The referee there was already urging the whistle, and Sun Wu said nothing more and turned and ran back to the court.
After the game restarted, Schneiderlin immediately showed his value. Campbell received a long pass from the backcourt and pulled the ball on the left side of the road cleverly to shake off Valencia.
But Campbell had just begun to accelerate, and Schneiderling threw the ball with a fierce flying shovel.
"Beautiful tackles!" Mortson praised: "And without fouling, Schneiderlin first touched the ball before taking down Campbell... Haha, and it was Manchester United's foul ball!"
Schneiderlin's playing has had an immediate effect, but this effect is only for defense, but offensively caught in the quagmire.
In the 58th minute, Sun Wu finally found a chance to get the ball in front of the big penalty area. As a result, Cardiff City defender Cockel immediately put on his hands and feet and used it. Another Cardiff City player next successfully intercepted the ball.
Sun Wu, who was knocked to the ground by Cocker, thumped down the lawn hard, but did not protest the opponent's small moves to the referee. This kind of complaint is difficult to have an effect... know that this is the Premier League!
Taking the ball in a dense crowd, and often in the densest middle, this is not Sun Wu’s strength. Even if his teammates run out of the gap, it is difficult for Sun Wu to succeed in defensive player’s personal marking and even near foul defense. Send the ball out.
In the 61st minute, Pochettino replaced Griezmann with Giggs, who went up to play the center and Giggs pulled to the left.
After Sun Wu retreated a little, he found helplessly useless. Although Giggs, Luke Shaw and Valencia passed frequently, it was difficult for Griezmann to grab a landing point in the penalty area. Thomas Mueller They are often active in the ribs and the other person is staring at him.
And Pochettino's emphasis on high-level snatching is useless. Cardiff City sends a big foot to the side once the ball is intercepted, allowing Campbell and Oldham Wenge to grab. This is not an attack, but delaying time!
In the face of such an iron barrel formation, even Barcelona can’t be 100% sure that they can pierce the opponent’s defense with a pass, because the two goals of Cardiff City do not want to attack at all...Of course, Barcelona has a way , They have Messi, but Manchester United don't...
Sun Wu turned his head and looked at Schneiderlin. This guy had a very high success rate in the first landing, and the recovery speed was not too slow... In fact, he could play a single midfielder.
At the thought of this, Sun Wu's eyes fell on Mota. In this case, Mota with a narrow range of activities is a bit superfluous...The most important thing is that in front of the iron barrel formation in Cardiff City, Mota's speed Weaknesses of slow and weak mobility are exposed.
Do you want to do it?
Sun Wu bit her lip and looked at the anxious Pochettino on the sideline~EbookFREE.me~ Sun Wu has partnered with six head coaches in total, and Amin Fey will not mention it, both Mark Hughes and Magath Iron fist ruled the army but gave Sun Wu great tactical freedom. Lannick even gave Sun Wu an assistant coach position for him to participate in the establishment of the tactical system. Guardiola and Sun Wu are in conflicts in this regard...
Pochettino is not the same as the first five. He does not have the strong control desire of Magath, and the management methods are not as direct as Mark Hughes and Magath. The tactical discussion will involve Sun Wu but not Allow him to make fundamental changes...
In terms of personal relations, Sun Wu and Pochettino are not particularly harmonious. He has a better relationship with Miguel and Mike Ferran. He can always feel the rejection of Pochettino in his heart... …
Therefore, there is one thing Sun Wu has never done.
In Blackburn, Wolfsburg, Schalke 04, and even Tottenham, Sun Wu once suggested to the head coach a substitution during the game, and it is clear who replaces who...
But at Manchester United, Sun Wu has not tried it, and he also knows that this is the privilege of the head coach.
