Chapter 699: Foreshadowing

The previous week, Manchester City was swept by Barcelona, ​​this week, Manchester United swept Zenit Saint Petersburg.
The former has basically no hope of promotion, and the latter has basically reached the quarterfinals with both feet.
This entry and exit allowed Manchester local media to refute Manchester City's foreign war layman and praise Manchester United's tenacious fighting spirit in the ice and snow...they can ignore the distance between Barcelona and Zenit.
weekend.
The bus is heading towards Selhurst Park Stadium in south London, and Manchester United today challenged the Crystal Palace team away.
Sun Wu, who was sitting in the last row, looked at the newspaper leisurely. Today, he was not the starter. In fact, Pochettino made a large rotation. In the frontcourt, only Griezmann still started the trident. Valencia, Shi Niedrin was given a chance to take a holiday.
"Huh, Mourinho is really bad." Sun Wuxing looked at the news happily. There are three Premier League teams entering the Champions League knockout. There are Chelsea in addition to the Manchester City doubles.
In the middle of the week, Chelsea challenged Paris Saint-Germain away. Ibrahimovic broke the gate guarded by Cech with the volley heel of the fan. Although Hazard equalized, Ravic and Matuidi scored goals.
The defeat of 1 to 3 made it difficult for Chelsea to overcome this level... but it's hard to say, Sun Wuyi remembered that the most favorite thing in Paris is to do the background board!
But the biggest headache for Mourinho is that Colombian striker Falca, who has just been on loan for less than a month, has a serious knee injury, which is likely to be reimbursed for the season.
Only Rooney is the only player in the Chelsea lineup who can play the center.
After covering his head for a while, Sun Wu felt that he was a little silly... Chelsea were not good, but Manchester United was not much better.
Although Welbeck made a comeback, the coaching staff unanimously decided to use it cautiously, and Heibei was not good at reaching the front.
Klose's number of appearances dropped sharply in the second half of the season. Although he has come back from injury and has a strong desire to play... The medical team recommends that he can only play at most one game a week, and he can't play the whole game. .
Hernandez is still in bed and is said to be back at the end of the season.
In this case, Griezmann will likely have to fight at full capacity.
...
"Goooooooooooooooal!"
"The French striker's goal shortage lasted only one game!" Mortson greatly appreciated Griezmann, who was celebrating. "At a Brazil World Cup a few months later, Griezmann is likely to become the main force of the French team. forward!"
Without Sun Wu, Cleverelli was injured and ended. Pochettino chose to use Giggs and Mota to organize the attack in the future. Although they are lacking in running ability and coverage, their passing skills are not. Called top.
In the 15th minute, Manchester United launched a counterattack, and Mota finally didn't have to observe Sun Wu's running position. He understated the precise long pass, Klose headed the ball at the edge of the penalty area, Griezmann at the top of the arc After the opponent's defender was deducted, the left-footed arc was sent into the far corner.
"One goal short." Sun Wu muttered from the bench. Liverpool swept Southampton 3-0 yesterday. Suarez staged a hat trick. The league has scored 24 goals.
Before the end of the first half, the rotation starter Ashley Young fell over the penalty area line after the breakthrough, but the referee awarded a penalty...
Sun Wu covers his face. In fact, in his opinion, it is difficult to say whether there is a foul. Professor Yang has a good relationship with him after adjusting his mentality. He once studied acting with him on the training ground...
Mota took the penalty to rewrite the score to 2-0.
In the second half, Crystal Palace still insisted on defensive counterattack, and Manchester United did not want to rush to kill. The dull game continued until the 70th minute, and the scene suddenly changed.
The Crystal Palace coach Tony Pulis, who took office a month ago, replaced his ace Zaha.
The Ivorian striker once nearly joined Manchester United. Ferguson was very optimistic about him, but later Moyes chose to give up.
Although Zaha is a winger, his range of activities is not limited to the wing. He has a large running range. He actively reaches for the ball and actively seeks a breakthrough opportunity. The double back composed of Mota and Carrick was successfully broken through by him.
In this case, Pochettino replaced Motta with Schneiderlin, and replaced Klose with Welbeck in an attempt to play a defensive counterattack.
Sun Wu, who is warming up, lowered his head and quietly flicked his lips. In theory, Carrick and Schneiderlin are very good pair of midfielders. The former can control the ball, can organize and can make up for the position, and the latter has strong ability to grab fierce lateral sweep ,But in fact……
In the 78th minute, Manchester United played a counterattack. Welbeck failed to score the ball for the first time after scoring the ball all the way into the 30m area. As a result, the opponent stole the ball and counterattacked.
This time, Pang Qiong of the Crystal Palace team did not have a long pass, but went to the ground to attack, and he sent a straight plug to the retreated Zaha.
"Zaha...Wow, get rid of it beautifully!" Mortson watched Zaha throw away Schneiderlin who was on the rush.
Zaha, who started to speed up, rushed all the way to the Manchester United restricted area, and on the road continuously changed direction and passed Carrick... Although Phil Jones successfully intercepted the ball, Pang Qiong inserted in the back row stabbed the ball away and the penalty area Chamak relied on Aldwereld to shovel his right foot and break the goal.
Sun Wu, who was standing on the sidelines, didn't turn his head deliberately, but Mike Ferran, Miguel, and Jesus, who were not far away, turned their heads at the same time...
A few days ago after the Champions League away game, Sun Wu raised this question in the coaching staff. Although Schneiderlin had a high success rate in the grab, he had little remedy once he was rid of the other side, and Mota, Carrick and Cleverelli either have weak frontal defensive abilities or are slow to chase back...
Moreover, Schneiderlin's position is too weak. When the ball is in the rib, it is difficult to accurately determine whether it should be deployed outside the large penalty area or rush into the penalty area to assist the central defender in defending the opponent's point.
A good midfielder generally has a strong steal ability, and steals usually appear in the link of the upper rush, but the upper rush is risky.
It is very important to choose the exact timing of the grab, and how to remedy the failure of the grab. Like Mascherano, he does not succeed every time he grabs, but even if he is passed, he will quickly return to the defense. To make up for the gaps in the defense line, of course, this requires a very good tactical ability.
Other midfielders~EbookFREE.me~If quality is not good, we must pay attention to quantity. In Southampton, Schneiderlin has Wanama behind him, while at Manchester United, only Carrick and Mota are behind him. Even Cleverelli.
To be fair, Sun Wu raised this question purely for the public, but others may not think so, and everyone knows how much he values ​​Fletcher and Pogba.
There are more injured teammates in the team this season, but Sun Wu only specifically told the medical team and the medical team to pay special attention to the recovery of these two people.
In this game, Sun Wu always stood on the sidelines and did not play. In the end, Manchester United won the league 11 games in a difficult 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace, but it also paid a large price.
At the last moment, the Crystal Palace counterattacked. Manchester United was crushed. Carrick was suspended for a second yellow card. Schneiderlin also received the fourth yellow card of the season. Suspension.
Sun Wu specifically mentioned Pulis in an interview after the game. The Crystal Palace team only scored 4 points in the first 11 rounds of the season, but Pulis had 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the five games since taking office.
Sun Wu privately believes that from the process of the game, Pulis defeated Pochettino in tactical preparation.
