Chapter 39 Tactic Selection
It was a long, long time ago that Sun Wu knew the name Joey Barton in his previous life. At that time, the Chinese youth team participated in the Toulon Cup, and their opponents were the English youth team. Joey Barton was even used by the Chinese media to compete with him. Smart comparison...

Although Joey Button has a lot of tricks, has a hot temper, and has caused big troubles on and off the field, but his own ability is not a problem. There was a scandal with Liverpool last year, and he was quite brilliant back then...

As soon as the game started, Sun Wu habitually retracted, and needed opportunities to cooperate with Dunn and Santa Cruz, but every time he got the ball, Joey Barton pounced like a mad dog, even if he couldn't break the ball, he had to use both hands and feet Sun Wu was extremely uncomfortable.

Just now, Sun Wu was careful. After receiving the pass from Santa Cruz, he pulled the ball with his feet and hid. Before he could pour the ball out, Joey Barton simply carried it on his shoulders. If his hands were not so clean , the referee won't even call a foul...

In the 25 minutes of the first half, Sun Wu was blocked by Joey Barton almost every time he received the ball.

Joey Barton greeted the referee politely, and glanced at the black-haired boy out of the corner of his eye, no matter how he looked, he was a rookie...

There are tens of thousands of roads in the world, if this road is blocked, just change it, but Sun Wu shook his head in his heart. Although Joey Barton has a strong defensive ability, he is not considered a top midfielder, and he cannot perform normally in front of him. Then What kind of height can I go in the future?
"Poor Best, the two starts in the league were against Manchester City. It seems that this encounter will not be much better than the last time." After experiencing the ups and downs of the FA Cup final last season, live broadcaster Mortensen I am very concerned about this Chinese boy, "The Chinese Suns are not easy to deal with. Best wanted to cut inside but was marked by Joey Barton. How to find a solution will determine the ceiling of his future achievements."

Sun Wu's choice was very simple. Instead of going to the side, he retreated. The left back Walnott began to press heavily. He received two direct passes and passed Sun Juhai to send a precise cross. Joey Barton had to help defend, he didn't have avatar skills...

In the 35th minute of the first half, Warnock's breakthrough on the left was blocked by Sun Juhai and Joey Barton. In the gap, Bentley volleyed vigorously from 28 meters after stopping the ball and was lifted out of the crossbar by the goalkeeper.

Three minutes later, Blackburn made a comeback. Dunn sent a long pass in the middle circle. Warnock barely stopped the ball from the left and swept the pass. Richards, who was behind him, risked stretching his legs to poke the ball out of the penalty area, only to catch up with Mokona, who rarely advanced forward.

The South African midfielder slammed his thigh without hesitation, the ball flew past Roberts' ear, bypassed the defender who rushed to block the hole in a small arc, and went straight to the blind corner, and the goalkeeper didn't even have time to react.

"Gooooooooooooooo!"

"It's Mokona's first goal in three seasons at Blackburn!"

"The world wave that goes straight to the dead end!"

Mark Hughes on the sidelines looked dumbfounded. He shook his head in dissatisfaction when Mokona shot the goal. As a result...

Joey Barton looked back at No. 38 who ran over to celebrate. He knew in his heart that this guy's retraction was just an illusion. The number of forward penetrations was reduced, but one blow was fatal. The key to this goal lies in the point that Sun Wu made before. Rubbing, let the defender in front of the defense jump into the air, and only then created chaos in the penalty area.

But it seems that there are loopholes behind him...

In the 42nd minute, Joey Barton and Ireland worked together to cut off the ball from Dunn's feet. They saw that the opponent's left back Warnock did not return to the defense and was about to send the ball to the gap when suddenly a figure came from the side. The elbow hit him hard in the ribs.

"drop!"

The referee blew to stop the game and called Sun Wu who made the foul.

;"I know, but this is the first time, and you also know that this guy has fouled me at least ten times!"

Joey Barton lay on the ground for a long time, staring at Sun Wu with gritted teeth, how could he do such a trick!And not even a yellow card!

Relying on Mokona's iron tree to bloom in the first half, Blackburn led 1-0 and entered the locker room.

"Best!"

"I know." Sun Wu nodded to Mark Hughes, "I will discuss it with Stephen."

In fact, the goal in the first half was an accident. In this tactical system, Warnock went forward, and Sun Wu should return to the midfield to defend, preventing the opponent from counterattacking and holding the ball to organize the second offensive.

But when Warnock made a pass, Sun Wu inserted into the penalty area to grab a point. If there is no goal, the loophole on the left is likely to be exploited by the opponent. In fact, Joey Barton quickly discovered this. Sun Wu Wu had no choice but to let him down.

This aspect is mainly due to the fact that Sun Wu played less times as a left midfielder before, and he has no tacit understanding with Warnock.

"Stephen, I will pay attention to every time you go forward, and if necessary, I will make a gesture." Sun Wu pulled Warnock to the corner, "Don't worry when you go forward, I will defend, if I In possession of the ball in midfield, you have to keep the distance between me and Mokona."

"But if Manchester City steals the ball from the backcourt and passes directly, Mponsa's speed..."

"There are always loopholes in the formation, and there is no perfect formation." Sun Wu interrupted: "Ireland's offensive power is not weak, but the passing level is very average, and it is a bit independent."

Warnock wanted to say something more, but finally shrugged, "Listen to you, you are a thinker."

Mark Hughes over there finished his lecture and came over and asked, "How is it?"

"no problem."

"Best, you have to be more careful in your running position in the second half, in the first half..."

"Sir, sometimes you need to take risks." Sun Wu pointed to the outside, "You said it, everything is OK if you win."

Mark Hughes stared into Sun Wu's eyes, and after a while he snorted, "There are still 45 minutes."

In the second half, Sun Wu and Warnock began to cooperate with each other tacitly. The opposing player may not have noticed it, but the live broadcaster has already seen it.

"Best's tucking in gave Blackburn more control in the midfield, and the wing was handed over to the full-back Warnock. It seems that Mark Hughes has made adjustments to the tactics, although the attack is not as sharp as Peterson. But the number of threats made is not low."

Mortensen frowned and looked at the field, "Let's see how Eriksson will deal with it."

Manchester City's newly appointed head coach Eriksson, although he was defeated in the 06 World Cup and has a bad reputation, but his coaching ability is not weak. He did a good job in Sampdoria and Lazio in Serie A before, and soon saw the problem Where, with the German veteran Harman replaced Ireland.

Harman used to be the main defensive midfielder of Germany and Liverpool. His outstanding long-range shooting ability and strong defensive hardness are his labels, but he is also an offensive and defensive conversion hub. With him, Joey Barton can be liberated, not only can he Expand the defensive area, and you can also step forward and assist with confidence.

Sun Wu was a little surprised after two consecutive inside passes were destroyed by Harman. He knew that the German midfielder would probably retire next season. Be smart, let yourself pass the ball forward very narrowly.
