Chapter 871: Hard bones


Manchester United defeated Monaco 3-0 in an unprecedented away game and advanced to the UEFA Champions League semifinals with an exaggerated total score of 10-0. This is the first time they have entered the UEFA Champions League semifinals after 2011.
Another game was full of passion, Bayern Munich led by Heynckes counterattacked, Harvey Martinez scored the header in the 3rd minute, and then Ribery's 11th minute shot will score the total score Equalize.
In the second half Lewandowski counterattacked the goalkeeper's total score, but Obameyan scored a key goal in the outer world.
Two games of 3-1, the game was dragged into overtime, former Bayern defender Humels header in the 118th minute, Dortmund successfully advanced to the semifinals, Bayern Munich helpless swallowing the consequences.
However, these have nothing to do with Manchester United for the time being. Pochettino and Sun Wu have focused their attention on the league. The UEFA Champions League semi-final will not be played until May 6.
At present, Manchester United have 84 points in 33 rounds, ranking first in the game. Manchester City are ranked second with 78 points in two games. Liverpool are also ranked third with 74 points in two games. Chelsea... let alone.
Judging from the schedule, only two teams behind Manchester United are a little tricky, one is Everton, the other is Arsenal.
Behind Manchester City, there is a Tottenham game, Liverpool have to play against Chelsea, of course, there is a direct match between Manchester City and Liverpool.
Both Sun Wu and Pochettino hope to solve the league before the Champions League semi-finals, but this is an almost impossible task. Although leading by 6 points, Manchester City are two games less.
Sure enough, on April 24th, although Manchester City once encountered difficulties, it eventually defeated Aston Villa 1-0 with Compagni's head.
On April 25th, Manchester United came to the Goodison Park Stadium to challenge Toffee Everton.
This is destined to be a hard fight, Sun Wu solemnly reminded his teammates in the locker room, but it seems that his reminder has no effect.
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!"
"What are the Manchester United defenders doing? No one is going to watch against Buckley!"
"Schneiderlin's suspension puts Manchester United in big trouble!"
Pochettino shrugged on the sidelines to show that he was helpless. Fletcher and Schneiderlin's suspension had not yet come back. Although Herrera could play, Pochettino still chose Lingard in excellent condition recently.
It was Lingard’s lack of timely protection outside the penalty area, which caused Buckley to have time to adjust the ball before aiming at the goal before shooting.
"Manchester United is not in trouble today, and the high position forcing more than 20 minutes is not effective. The opponent scored the goal for the first time." Zhan Jun shook his head and said: "It seems that Manchester United players are not a little excited."
"And how to use Lingard is also a problem." Zhang Lu also shook his head. "Although Lingard can run, it is often the key to whether it can run to the most critical point... Carrick has been included. The penalty zone is out, Sun Wu is outside, and Lingard should stand still."
Toffee fans are not less famous in the Premier League. They are no less crazy than giants fans. The stands have become a blue ocean. The loud chorus puts a lot of pressure on Manchester United players.
"Anthony, change your goal." Sun Wu pulled Griezmann and whispered, "Always attack that point, maybe it will inspire his state."
Griezmann nodded silently. In the past year and a half, on the training ground, he had scored countless times from Smalling, but today, facing the old Master Smalling, he was awesome and defensive, three times in a row. Successfully intercepted the ball from Griezmann.
Smolin is a defender who often makes mistakes. This is clearly understood by the Manchester United coaching staff, so he only regarded it as a breakthrough.
Sun Wu didn't want to experiment anymore, staring at Smalling again, not only wasting time, but it might also make Smalling's confidence burst, and his condition was getting better and better.
Martinez’s platoon formation was quite cautious. Milaras, Naismith, Pinar, and Deulofeu were not used at all. The midfielder excluded Barry, Ottoman, and McCarthy. The front halfback Buckley and forward Kone are also very active in defense.
This lineup is really difficult to deal with, and the teammates are not in good condition. Griezmann, Shakiri and Lukaku have not formed a tacit understanding in several passes, and it is rare that the foot shot is soft.
Sun Wu ran to the middle circle, reaching down to the teammates behind to reach down and press down, beckoning everyone not to worry, there is still time.
After the game restarted, Sun Wu led the team formation and withdrew from the high position to and tried to find the loophole on the Everton defense line in the midfield.
But the Everton players were in a reasonable position, the formation was compact, and there were no flaws. On the contrary, Ashley Young's assists were intercepted and the ball was intercepted. Everton organized a very threatening offensive. Heato pulled out the beam.
"Hi, Osman is too good to run!" Zhan Jun couldn't help but praise: "Already 34 years old, this is his twelfth season in Everton, but Osman still has no physical fitness limit!"
Ottoman is not well-known and expensive, but he is rare in the Premier League to compete with Kanter and Matic for a defensive coverage. He has a strong lateral sweeping ability, a strong style, and a ruthless foot, often Run from one sidewalk to another, and then run back and forth again...
Just now, Ottoman ran all the way from the right to the left, intercepted the ball from Ashley Young's foot and launched this counterattack.
Ottoman with Barry who can stand up, plus McCarthy and Barkley who constantly harassed Sun Wu, Everton's midfield effect is very good, the key is their concentration, efficiency, and spare no effort.
Sun Wu also found the key, not only because the trident in the frontcourt was in poor condition, but also because he lacked an organized partner. Lingard, who runs through the crowd, does not have this ability... although He was playing at number 10.
Martinez is also unique in tactics, Everton did not stare at Sun Wu, but tried to separate from his teammates.
Therefore, although Sun Wu has many opportunities to get the ball, it is difficult to transport the ball forward smoothly, and Everton's midfield and backcourt positions are impenetrable, and Sun Wu has been intercepted for several risky direct passes.
Looking back at Carrick, the veteran is organized, but his premise is likely to cause emptiness in the lower back.
Either Herrera or Fletcher can help, but today Lingjiad is around... Sun Wu has come to a conclusion in his heart. This is a cargo that can fight chaos. The two armies are upright. It is difficult for him to show value, but if he appears on the sidelines, he may find opportunities.
In the end, the first half ended with Everton leading 1-0.
After entering the locker room, Sun Wu immediately discussed the substitution with Pochettino.
Now that both sides have spoken, it doesn't matter what taboo.
"Herrera replaced Lingard." Pochettino exited first. "In addition, Lukaku was in poor condition, and the two wingers gave too little support."
"Smolin and Jagirka are very strong in air defense, and Lukaku doesn't take much advantage~EbookFREE.me~ Sun Wu whispered: "Let Griezmann go up, he should be flexible in his position More, in the second half of the side pass as far as possible to pass the ball, in addition, I will strengthen the long shot in due course. "
"Then your position is premised, Herrera is the bodyguard, Mane replaced Shakiri...Januzhai is also in average condition."
Sun Wu nodded with a smile, his eyes flashed...I don't know if Pochettino deliberately, but this may become a key change.
Ready to return to the seat, but Sun Wu hesitated and looked back at his teammates, "Luke Shaw performed well in the game... Ashley Yang, the wing, returned the ball and the right foot pass was basically a high ball."
Pochettino thought for a moment and nodded, "Herrera replaced Lingard, Mane replaced Shaqiri, and Luke Shaw would like to play and watch later."
Satisfied Sun Wu returned to his seat...I wouldn't be finished like this. I knew I had already spoken with Pochettino!
I don't want to think about which head coach can bear such Sun Wu, so Pochettino wants to add two championships to his resume before leaving.
