Chapter 687: Manchester United


In a hotel in London, the pieces on the tactical board were tossed and tossed over and over again, and the discussion had been going on for almost an hour.
  
   "The key is Januzai." Sun Wu pouted, "This is a guy with little team consciousness, and his brain is not very easy to use."
  
   "Best, I think you are biased against him..."
  
"Miki, well, I'm biased against him, what about Evra, Mota, Schneiderlin, Griezmann or even De Gea?" Sun Wu sniffed, "Belgian is right Yes, we are all wrong!"
  
  Pochettino ignored their argument and stared at the tactical board with his arms around his chest.
  
   Yesterday the two lost goals were on the left. It seems that it should be Evra or Mota who defended the left, but in fact the root of the problem lies with Januzhai.
  
The Belgian winger couldn't threaten the opponent's defense with a continuous breakthrough, which led Fulham's right back to dare to push the assist when he counterattacked. This made Holtby complete the breakthrough along the wing twice. Inferior, but Mota's weak running ability and narrow coverage of weaknesses are also exposed.
  
   In fact, Pochettino has no major flaws in tactical details. The key is that Januzai has no way to create threats and has a low return rate. This makes the left defense frequently go wrong.
  
   "Ashley Young or Giggs will do, it's really good to do Welbeck." Sun Wu insisted on his own view, "No matter how bad, Klose's injury is about to heal, let Griezmann retreat slightly."
  
   "But the French like cruising behind Klose and not a winger." Miguel objected. "At least in terms of tactics, his ability to pull the edge is not as good as Januzay."
  
   "But Griezmann has at least no water in his head!" Sun Wu's voice rose, "Look at the video of the last game, the Belgian thought he was a complex of Roga Messi!"
  
   "Gritzman is more threatening in the penalty area." strove to round the court. "Perhaps with Ashley Young, he played well in the last game."
  
   "He hasn't been as successful as Best on the training ground!" Miguel scoffed. "Giggs has a physical problem. It's hard to keep up with the rhythm in the high position, and Welbeck has just recovered from his injury."
  
   Uh, ah!
  
  After some controversy, everyone turned their attention to Pochettino, who made the decision. Tomorrow will play Arsenal. The training on the field has ended, but the starting list has not yet been released. This is a rare phenomenon this season.
  
  ……
  
   At the press conference before the game, Pochettino was a little uncertain about the reporters' enquiries. He didn't know what the result of his choice would be.
  
   Miguel and Sun Wu's contradiction about Januzai has been made public, and Mike Ferran is on the side of Sun Wu, and naturally supports his old colleague Miguel.
  
   In this case, Pochettino chose and slime.
  
  In the starting lineup, he chose Januzay to continue the starter, but removed Mota and replaced Clavelli.
  
   surprised Pochettino because Sun Wu didn't complain and calmly accepted the result.
  
At the beginning of the season, Manchester United lacked manpower in the midfield position. Finally, Sun Wu proposed to rent Inter Milan's midfielder Motta. This Italian is the main force when he first arrives. Although there are various defects, in general, Manchester United has provided a great deal Help.
  
   But with the arrival of Schneiderlin, Mota changed from a defensive midfielder to an organizer. This change made Mota's position within the team awkward.
  
  In fact, if Pochettino chooses a double back, Mota and Schneiderlin can be good partners at least on paper, but the key is that Pochettino needs Mota to do more offensively.
  
Front pass threatens the goal with a pass and a long shot, runs without the ball to open space for Sun Wu and Griezmann, runs wildly when he is forced to grab high, and needs to quickly return to defense when defending, and also has to help defend the left .
  
This is too difficult for Mota. He has been working hard in Serie A. He is used to controlling the rhythm and organizing offensively in the midfield. It is difficult for him in his 30s to contribute so many runs and sprints per game. He was also uncomfortable rushing to the frontcourt for a high-level snatch. Even he hasn't adapted to the fast ball transfer and offensive and defensive rhythm brought by the high-class snatch.
  
  This is determined by Mota's professional resume and playing style characteristics.
  
  Sun Wu knows this well. If there is a strong center, Pochettino may choose a double-waist formation, but now, Mota can only use the premise to increase the offensive manpower.
  
   In this case, the combination of Mota and Januzai has become the biggest loophole in Manchester United.
  
In fact, Mota has privately informed Sun Wu that he will not stay at Manchester United next season, although there are buyout clauses in the lease contract.
  
The reason why Sun Wu did not raise any objection to Pochettino's decision is on the one hand to respect the authority of the head coach and to avoid entanglement with Pochettino on the other hand, on the other hand, Pogba Yesterday, he came off the bench for the reserve team and performed very well.
  
   Mota or Cleverly's position seems to be ordinary, the organization offensive is only Sun Wu's deputy, the defense is only a defense, the key person is Schneiderlin.
  
But in fact, this position has very strict requirements, it needs a strong running ability, it needs to provide support on offense, it needs to have a high penetration rate when defending, it must have a good ability to break the ball, and even needs to kill Entering the restricted area to increase the number of rushing points, withdrawing from the restricted area to complete the siege has become the first point of attack.
  
  In other words, this location needs an excellent b2b!
  
  Sun Wu is of course very clear. In the next few years, on b2b, the best players must have the name Pogba!
  
  ……
  
   walked out of the locker room, Sun Wu and Arsenal captain Arteta gave high-five. The Spanish midfielder was also from La Masia. Sun Wu remembers that he later retired as Guardiola's assistant.
  
Arsenal's performance this season has been ups and downs, very unstable, and the record was poor at the beginning of the season. Later, after introducing Yaya Touré and Ozil, they once won a six-game winning streak, but then suffered a strong enemy streak. This season Manchester United humiliated Wenger at home.
  
In the small round robin, Arsenal were the worst performers. They only tied Liverpool once in the first half of the season, losing to Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United consecutively. In the last round of the league, they were just swept by Liverpool led by Klopp 5 to 1.
  
Sun Wu glanced at Wenger who was walking out of the player channel~EbookFREE.me~I vaguely remember that this season, Arsenal lost to Chelsea, Salah scored the first goal after coming to the Premier League, at the time Wenger and Mourinho almost staged a full martial arts.
  
  Sun Wu wondered in his heart, maybe his appearance will make the professor retire several years early...
  
   At this time, the head referee picked up the ball on the ground and walked out first.
  
   Alta and Sun Wu with the caddy followed.
  
   This game, Ferdinand and Evra did not start, Sun Wu as Manchester United captain headed out of the player channel.
  
  The oncoming applause and boos sounded at the same time, Arteta looked stern, and Sun Wu looked away with a careless expression.
  
  Although this Manchester United team has many shortcomings, even there is a gap between Januzai and his teammates, but Sun Wu is confident to defeat the Arsenal in front of him!
