From the Spaniards to Southampton, Pochettino has always been well received, but he has never had a convincing record. Taking over Manchester United is a big challenge for this Argentine coaching career.
By the end of September, he had been in office for almost four months. Although he was frequently refuted in terms of signings, Manchester United’s brilliant record was recognized. The club’s CEO and famous players Ferguson and Charlton both publicly supported Pochettino.
Five wins, three wins and two draws remained undefeated, ranking 11th with 11 points. It doesn’t look very good, but know that three of the five opponents won the direct opponents and won the Double Reds and Manchester City derby Jean Pochettino in a row Stand firm.
Therefore, before the start of the sixth round of the Premier League, Pochettino was informed that the club will provide funds to supplement the thickness of the lineup during the winter transfer period.
"A defensive midfielder, a center." Pochettino first set the signing position.
Miguel, and Mike Ferran all turned their heads to look at Sun Wu, and even Giggs turned his gaze.
"Hehe." Sun Wu shrugged. "It's hard to find anything good in the winter transfer market."
Sun Wu originally wanted to suggest that the team sign Salah. He remembered that the Egyptian striker was Mourinho's return to Stamford Bridge during the first winter break.
At present, there is a lack of a breakthrough player like Salah in the United team. In many cases, Griezmann needs to be pulled out to play this role.
Miguel, who is in charge of scouting in the coaching staff, can’t wait to say:
Yesterday played five games in the sixth round of the league. Everton defeated Newcastle 3-2. Belgian center Lukaku scored two assists.
"Very good striker." Mike Ferran added: "The physical quality is excellent, but it is not awkward and the speed is not slow, that is, the shooting accuracy needs to be strengthened, and the small technique is not delicate."
"But the running ability is very strong, maneuverable, in line with the tactical system." Jesus' statement proves that the coaching staff's observation of Lukaku has lasted for a long time.
Pochettino started knocking on the table, "Best, what do you say?"
"It's not bad, but Mourinho Ken let go? Sold to the direct opponent who competed for the championship..."
"Try it." Pochettino figured it out. "Lukaku's transfer to Chelsea is £16 million."
Sun Wu pouted, it seems that Sandezi took a lot of money, it seems that he may not be able to buy it, Mata did not transfer to Manchester United in this way.
"If Lukaku can't buy it, then add a midfielder." Miguel continued: "Southampton's midfielder Schneiderlin."
Schneiderlin is currently one of the most highly rated defensive midfielders in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. He played every minute under Pochettino last season, averaging 2.6 steals per game, ranking in the midfielder third.
Sun Wu was also drunk, and brought up all the "once" Manchester United players for Mao. After Lukaku came to Manchester United, his career was not a success, and Schneiderlin was later swept out.
However, Sun Wu didn't say anything. He has been publicly supporting Fletcher who is still recovering. Pochettino and the coaching team he brought are not very cold, and they don't trust Fletcher who hasn't played in two years. Thoroughly, Sun Wu was too lazy to speak out.
To put it bluntly, in addition to Luke Shaw in the summer signing, the other players are all on the list provided by Sun Wu, Griezmann, Thomas Mueller, Mota and even Sun Wu’s friends, Pochettino It's hard not to have other ideas.
Introducing the old department to strengthen the control of the team, this is what many coaches want to do, Pochettino is no exception. In fact, in another time and space, he introduced Southampton during Tottenham. Another midfielder Wan Yama.
However, Sun Wu is not very optimistic about this, Pochettino may have to mess with this hand.
It's not just Schneiderlin who was "once" unsuccessful at United.
There have been more than two seasons in the Premier League. Sun Wu also played with Schneiderlin five times. This midfielder is very fierce and has a single defensive ability, but the position is very poor, and the defense ability is not strong. Want to get the main position at Manchester United...
In the end, Pochettino made a decision.
"Okay, Miki, you arrange to send someone to continue to observe the performance of Lukaku and Schneiderlin. If there is no accident, they are our primary goal for the winter break."
...
On September 28, Old Trafford Stadium.
Manchester United at home against visiting West Bromwich Albion, before the game started, Sun Wu heard a "not so good" news.
In the first league match that started that day, Southampton defeated the Crystal Palace 2-0, and Schneiderlin shined the game with one pass.
Walking out of the locker room, Sun Wu pulled Mike Ferran whispered, "Tell Darren, don't worry."
"Tell him?" Mike Ferran was a little surprised, "Just don't tell him."
Sun Wu rolled his eyes. "Everyone can see that Manchester United is missing a good midfielder. Mauricio has made a guest appearance with Alder Vereld..."
Mike Ferran immediately nodded his head to understand that Manchester United knew all about the purchase of a midfielder in the Premier League. After losing Fernandinho and Matic in succession, they rented Mota at the last minute.
Even if Manchester United didn’t acquire Schneiderlin’s idea, the media would come out of nowhere, not to mention that Pochettino did have this idea. He is likely to build up in advance. It is estimated that the media will start to speculate in a few days. Fletcher will naturally hear the wind.
In fact, for Schneiderlin himself, Sun Wu did not deliberately exclude ... But who let him invest a large capital in Fletcher, if he is turned back by Manchester United, Sun Wu's investment is really a big loss!
After the start of the game, today's opponent West Bromwich Albion took the lead to attack, and successfully broke in the 15th minute.
"It's Sesenion again. A year ago, he rewritten the history of West Bromwich and Manchester United. It also caused Manchester United to suffer the worst Premier League start in 33 years." Mortson was a little surprised. "Today's Manchester United don't look like status."
Last season, Manchester United lost to West Bromwich 1 2 at home. This is the first time in 23 years since the establishment of the Premier League. It also lost three games in the first five rounds of the league. The last time it was so bad was 1989 year.
In the Ferguson era, no one wanted to come to Old Trafford.
But in the past two years, everyone is willing to come to Old Trafford!
Manchester United under Moyes and Van Gaal, who dare to lose!
However, today's protagonist is Sun Wu!
The "Best Song" sounded in the stands filled Sun Wu with his fighting spirit.
Because three days later, he will go to Germany to play against Leverkusen, Pochettino has a hand in this game.
Griezmann did not start for the first time this season and was replaced by Giggs.
Hernandez continued to start after the League Cup match, and Fellaini also got a starting opportunity.
Although most of the midfielders are second-line players~EbookFREE.me~ makes it difficult to play smoothly in the midfield, Sun Wu used his feet to give West Bromwich a clue.
In the 18th minute, while the West Bromwich players were still immersed in the leading mood, Sun Wu right rib took the ball and slanted the side of Valencia, suddenly inside the left foot kicked a curve ball.
"Best...Goooooooooooooooooooooal!!!"
"Best has contributed another world wave, this is his first league goal after transferring to Manchester United, wonderful goal!"
The arc ball bypassed the densely defending players in the penalty area, rubbing the goalkeeper's hand and hitting the far post to bounce into the gate.
In the 28th minute, Evra made a cross from the left, West Bromwich defender header header, the surrounding Sun Wu volleyed directly and punctured the goalkeeper again.
"Second score, poor West Bromwich..." Mortson shook his head. "There is no Klose, no Griezmann today, but there is still Best."
"The value of 75 million euros, Manchester United's record transfer fee, but Best proved with actual action that he is worth the huge sum of Manchester United!"
Before the end of the first half, Sun Wu took the ball outside the penalty area for a long shot again. West Brom guard jumped nervously to block the gun, but Sun Wu sent the ground oblique plug, Thomas Mueller cut into the penalty area and counter-offside the small angle shot to score Rewritten as 3 to 1.
In the second half, West Bromwich Albion tried to get a new one, but Pochettino replaced Fellini with Griezmann, Giggs retreated to the centre-forward position, Griezmann scored in ten minutes Second, West Bromwich completely crashed.
In the end, Manchester United swept West Bromwich 6-1 at home, Sun Wu spent 60 minutes to contribute two shots and two passes, Hernandez also scored a goal.
After this game, Sun Wu will return to Germany for the first time in more than two years.
