Chapter 1066 Tactics Discussion

After all these nonsense things have been dealt with, Sun Wu can finally face the next Champions League final with ease.

It is reasonable to invite those young talented players who have been circled to watch the final. Sun Wu was invited by Liverpool to watch the Champions League final as soon as he made a name for himself at Blackburn.

The reason why Sun Wu brought up this topic at this time is more because of the position of football director. He has no intention of reaching out to other aspects, but just wants to be justified.

When discussing with San Dezi, Sun Wu just proposed to replace the football director. Wu also serves as the football director.

After Wenger has officially left Arsenal, Sun Wu has become the only remaining football manager in the Premier League. As long as it is related to sports, it is within his scope of responsibility.

On May 5, in the big conference room, Sun Wu held the last general tactics seminar before the game.

First of all, Sun Wu announced the starting list and substitute list for the final.

"Goalkeeper De Gea, defense line Paval, Van Dijk, Alderweireld, Lucas." Mike Phelan glanced at Sun Wu, and continued: "Midfielder Kanter, Best, Fry Torch, Harry Kane, Griezmann and Salah up front."

Everyone was a little surprised, but it’s understandable when you think about it. Apart from the goalkeeper, only Alderweireld, Best, and Griezmann in the starting lineup have experience in the Champions League final. Letting Fletcher play is more to play a role. The role of stabilizing the morale of the army.

But Sun Wu didn't think so. At least in the first half, Fletcher will be a very important tactical pawn.

"Bench, goalkeeper Romero, defense Rojo, Phil Jones, midfielder Fabinho, Herrera, forward Falcao, Mane, Bernardo Silva."

As Mike Phelan spit out the last name, Milner and Coleman were okay, but Luke Shaw, Lingard and others were all frustrated.

There are only 18 players in the final list. Which players to kick out is a very cruel question for the coaching staff. It is necessary to know how many world-class stars such as Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic have not participated in a Champions League final.

Rojo was chosen because he could hit the ball from the sidelines, and it was for this reason that Luke Shaw was rejected.

Fabinho was chosen because he can not only play as a defensive midfielder, a central midfielder, but also a central defender.

If Herrera comes off the bench, he can bring more ball possession to the Manchester United midfielder. Phil Jones was selected because he once played two positions as a midfielder and right back.

The failure of Coleman and Milner is more because Sun Wu hopes to let more attackers enter the bench. Falcao is Manchester United's top scorer in the Champions League. Mane is the least likely Sun Wu will give up. Bernardo The different tactical characteristics of Silva and the other two attackers made Sun Wu reluctant to let go.

"Ahem." Sun Wu got up and stood in front of the tactical board in front, "I don't know Real Madrid's starting lineup yet, but it is estimated that there will not be too much deviation. The defense line Carvajal, Marcelo, Ramos, etc. One of the positions should be Pepe, who has been making a lot of noise these days."

There was a low laughter below. In fact, Pepe didn’t start many games this season. On the one hand, they all have a great advantage. If he can't start himself, he probably won't be so ostentatious.

"Pepe is a place that can be used, but although he is 33 years old, his physical fitness is still very good, his confrontation ability is very strong, and he has rich experience." Sun Wu looked at Griezmann and Harry Kane, "Pepe The weakness is that the ability to move has dropped a lot, and the explosive power has also dropped, so you need to change speed and change directions when you go back into the penalty area."

Griezmann nodded, "The quality of the lawn is very good. I tried it, and there is no problem with kicking the ground."

"Ramos is a troublesome guy." Sun Wu tapped the No. 4 white pawn on the tactical board, "He has a lot of defensive moves, very explosive power, and he is very fierce in the attack. His weakness is his advantage. , Because he likes to grab the ball, Ramos has a wide range of activities, and the gap behind him can be used."

Sun Wu looked at Harry Kane, "Salah has a heavy task in this game, and it is your task to find the space behind Ramos."

Harry Kane nodded silently, thinking about going back and studying Ramos' defensive highlights.

"Carvajal is a right back with both offense and defense. Modric in front of him seldom helps defend the wing." Sun Wu paused, thought for a while and continued: "Lucas and Gerry Ziman, you should be able to deal with him, I hope you can find opportunities in the area between him and Pepe."

"Now it's Marcelo's turn. This is the focus of our attack." Sun Wu took down the white No. 12 pawn. "Strength in offense and weakness in defense is just an appearance. Marcelo's biggest problem is that he is easy to lose his position."

"The video analyst has already counted the relevant data. In Real Madrid's backcourt interception and counterattack, Marcelo is a very important point of attack. The forward penetration is very large. This is not only because of his strong desire to attack, but also because of his strong desire to attack. Defensive habits and methods have a lot to do with it."

"When the opponent's right winger retreats to catch the ball, Marcelo will often go up and stick to it. Once the ball is intercepted, he immediately launches a counterattack. He has a strong breakthrough ability."

"But the gap behind Marcelo will be very large. At this time, if the opponent's right back and right midfielder press forward at the same time, Ramos will be called out. If the ball can be distributed in time, the gap in Real Madrid's backcourt will be large. Very big."

Sun Wu put the No. 12 piece on the center line, "So, Salah, your task is very heavy in this game. You have to keep retreating to catch the ball. Coleman, Kanter and even Alderweirel Germany will give you a ground through ball."

"And I and Pavard will choose the time to insert behind you and Marcelo." Sun Wu looked at Pavard, "Don't stick to the ball, get the ball out as soon as possible. Real Madrid's left midfielder should start with Kroos. He is defensive. He has a skill, and because he has to play the role of long pass scheduling, so he will not stand too far ahead."

Sun Wu paused, and quickly rearranged the chess pieces represented by Real Madrid's formation, "Real Madrid usually use a 4141 formation when defending without the ball, but Modric has a wide range of activities and will adjust his position according to the opponent's attack focus."

"In addition, Benzema is at the top, but he often appears on the side when defending, and Ronaldo is a free agent." Sun Wu turned his head and glanced at Kanter, "Real Madrid is counterattacking or positioning. During the battle, Benzema and Ronaldo will switch positions frequently."

"Kante, if Ronaldo enters the penalty area, you don't have to worry about it. Leave it to Van Dijk, Alderweireld and Lucas. If Ronaldo is outside the penalty area, you need to beware of his long shots and acceleration."

"Okay, let's talk about this later, let's talk about offense first." Sun Wu emphasized, "After the opening, we will press high."

The silence below surprised Sun Wu, who thought there would be objections. He underestimated his authority in the team. The 22-game winning streak and the 10-1 bloodbath of Liverpool allowed him to completely control this Manchester United team.
