Chapter 539 Our goal

Gently opening the door by a line, Lannick glanced quietly and quickly turned his head to avoid being discovered by the players who were in a meeting inside.

"Rolf did a good job." Lannick said with a smile as he walked away a few steps.

"Where's Best?"

"His eloquence is stronger than mine, what do you think?" Lannick said to Slomka with a smile, "How are you thinking?"

"Ralph, do you want to discuss it with Best?" Slomka was still a little worried, "You know... Raul has scored 22 goals this season, and he scored in the last round."

Seeing that Lannick did not speak, Slomka rolled his eyes and persuaded: "Why don't you let Westerman go...he is the captain."

After Raul moved to Schalke 04, he scored two hat-tricks and frequently helped the team in key games. More importantly, his experience in the Champions League has brought great help to the team.

When all the media evaluated Schalke 04, who had reached the semi-finals of the Champions League in history, they would mention Raul Gonzalez, who scored 9 goals in the Champions League for the team, second only to Messi with 11 goals.

It took a lot of guts to have football legend Raul Gonzalez come off the bench in such an important Champions League semi-final.

However, there is no doubt that Lannick has such courage.

Slomka was stunned for a while and suddenly said: "Ralph, don't worry... Raul's contract expires next year. For the sake of the club's image, Chairman Tunis will never allow you to sell him, or even let him go for a long time." Not even on the bench."

"It's okay." Lannick turned his head and smiled and said to his assistant, "I have arrangements."

At the same time, in the conference room, Sun Wu was spitting and explaining the most important details of the game to his teammates.

Most people are used to it. After all, Sun Wu led the team for more than a month at the end of last year.

Only a few guys who joined or returned during the winter break are a bit strange. Milito and Jones are okay, and Firmino and Aubameyang both twitch their mouths from time to time to hold back their laughter.

"Roberto, just now...just now, what did Best say?" Rolf noticed something was wrong, and immediately caught a typical one.

"Uh uh uh..." Firmino looked at Rolf stupidly, then at Sun Wu who was expressionless, and finally looked at Captain Westman begging for mercy.

Draxler smiled gloatingly, "It's okay, Roberto, if you didn't hear it, you didn't hear it. At worst, go back to the club and run laps."

"Julian, thank you for your suggestion." Sun Wu said with a stern face: "Roberto, after returning to the club, run three extra laps in the training class, but Julian will accompany you."

As soon as the words came out, there was laughter in the meeting room immediately, and even Firmino smiled and nodded while hugging Draxler.

Sun Wu's frequent troubles with Draxler have become the team's repertoire... Sun Wu explained that he was interested in Draxler's talent, but everyone didn't believe it.

"Although the starting lineups of both sides have not been announced, this Manchester United team seems to have a lot of rotation players, but in fact the depth of the bench is very limited." Sun Wu brought the topic to the point, "Right back Raphael has returned from injury, and the central defender Ferdinand and Vidic have a good chance of starting, but it is also possible that the old will lead the new, one main force will lead a substitute, and Smalling and Phil Jones may play."

"The left-back Evra was injured in the last round against Arsenal. Although he entered the squad, it is hard to say whether he will start. If Evra can't play, it is likely that Evans will play a cameo."

"The striker Rooney must be the main force, and the other position will be between Berbatov and Hernandez." Sun Wu turned to look at Westerman, "Heike, if it is the Bulgarian, you need Pay attention to air defense, although his header is average, but his height is there."

"I played against him." Westerman looked at the No. 9 on the tactical board. "Although he looks very strong, his style of play is very soft. We need to give him some color!"

"The correct answer is that Berbatov is not a typical center forward. He withdraws and catches the ball very frequently. He needs the ball. This is one of the reasons why Rooney scored fewer goals this season." Sun Wu explained in detail: "Berbatov has scored 19 goals in the league so far, ranking first in the scorer list. He is likely to be the top scorer in the Premier League with the fewest goals in the past ten years."

"Next is the most critical midfielder. The two wingers are nothing more than two of Valencia, Park Ji-sung, Ryan Giggs, and Nani." Sun Wu stood in front of the tactical board, "In the last game, Raul played The key to the goal was that I chose to break through Park Ji-sung in the middle, and Ivan also followed up in the middle, which caused Manchester United's central defense to have problems."

"That is to say, the Koreans will not play in the middle of this game." Rakitic nodded and said: "Carrick will definitely occupy a starting position, and the other position should be Giggs or Scholes, so important Ferguson should not use Gibson and Anderson as substitutes."

"Best, you have been emphasizing the high press before, are you trying to target Giggs or Scholes?" Raul shook his head slightly, "These two people are very experienced, Scholes' long pass, Giger Si is very flexible with his feet, and his ability to distribute the ball is also very good. Although he is old, he can guarantee the state of a game...not a big problem."

Sun Wu gave Raul a thumbs up and shouted loudly: "This is the key!"

"Giggs has the ability to escape in a small space, and Scholes' long pass is very good. Although he is old, he can still play an important role under Ferguson."

Sun Wu took off the No. 11 and No. 18 chess pieces on the tactical board, and poked the No. 16 chess piece vigorously, "However, in the offensive and defensive system of the Manchester United team, the most important person is him, Michael Card Rick!"

"He's the one we need to press high!"

Rolf pressed the play button at the right time, and a clip specially edited by the coaching staff appeared on the left screen.

Vidic steals the ball from the backcourt and gives the ball to Giggs. At this time, Carrick immediately moves to receive the ball from an angle. After protecting the ball, he fakes and shakes the pressing player behind him. The ball is sent to the foot of Valencia on the right.

In the next clip, Manchester United's counterattack is blocked. Carrick appears in the most suitable position to receive the return pass. He faces the right and looks like he is about to split the ball. He suddenly turns and drives the ball forward from the center. Rooney.

Rooney knocked back at the first time, and Carrick who went forward did not stop the ball and sent a through ball again, and Hernandez scored a single-handed goal.

"This is not a defensive midfielder, so Carrick will not retreat very deep in defense. He is the most important point of attack for Manchester United in counterattack. It can be said that in Manchester United's system, in terms of tactical status, Carrick More important than Rooney!"

"If you can limit Carrick in the high press, or even steal the ball directly from his feet, with the strength of Schalke 04, there is a chance to take the lead soon."

"The reason is very simple. When Hargreaves and Fletcher are unable to play, Carrick is the most defensive midfielder, although Giggs and Scholes All in front of him, get rid of Carrick and we can go straight to the United centre-backs."

"Of course, our advantage lies in offense. Ferguson is also very clear. Just like Lineker said, we need to make some choices that surprise Ferguson!"

Sun Wu's eyes fell on the American midfielder Jones.

"In this game, you will be the starter."

Jones looked at Westerman and Hitzlsperger unexpectedly. These two players played in front of him in the defensive midfielder position.

Westerman patted Jones on the back with a smile, "Come on!"

"Jones didn't start as a midfielder." At this time, Lannick finally opened the door and walked in, "At least in the first half of the first half, he didn't play as a midfielder. Ivan, you play as a midfielder. Jones will play the position. I need you Running around and harassing Manchester United's backcourt."

"As Lineker said, and as Best said just now, we need to make some choices that surprise Ferguson."

Rangnick finally announced the starting lineup for this game.

"Neuer, Pekarik, Westermann, Milito, Fuchs, Best, Rakitic, Jones, Hao Junmin, Cavani and Firmino."

accident?
It is indeed a surprise, for example, Farfan still did not start, and Hao Junmin started for the first time in the Champions League, but the biggest surprise was not Hao Junmin...

Almost everyone's eyes fell on Firmino and Raul successively. No one expected that in such a crucial game, Rangnick chose to abandon Raul and use Firmino, his confidant.
