Chapter 594 Three Questions
At the press conference after the game, another blind-eyed reporter asked Mourinho... This time he still failed to beat Best.

The Portuguese was furious, but this guy cleverly changed the topic... You guys are extremely disrespectful to Manchester United coach Pochettino!
Generally speaking, the history of battles only exists between clubs and clubs, players and players or managers and managers. I have never heard such a saying between managers and players... Where do you put Pochettino !

The reporters below and Pochettino next to Mourinho are speechless. There are too many grievances and grievances between you and Best. It was highlighted by the "Sun" before the start of the season. Isn't it a little bit to say these now? Night……

The day after the game was a holiday, but Sun Wu still came to the club. Today I need to discuss something with Pochettino, about Pogba.

Pushing the door open, the TV in the office was on, and a familiar voice came.

"The offense has improved a lot. Although there are still many problems in the details, at least we can see Pochettino's tactical style and the role played by Best."

Scholes on the TV screen talked eloquently, "But the defense is very problematic. We conceded 5 goals in two games. Among the defensive players, only De Gea can get a passing score!"

"Paul, you are too strict." Philip Neville, another representative of Manchester United's 92 golden generation, retorted: "The biggest problem of Manchester United in the past two years is the lack of offense..."

"But Ferdinand and Vidic maintained a good state in the past two years, and there were not many injuries." Scholes shrugged, "Now Vidic has transferred to Inter Milan, and Ferdinand is seriously injured."

Pochettino picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, and said with a wry smile: "Paul is afraid that there are still people in the world who don't know that Manchester United wants to buy a midfielder and a central defender?"

"Uh, he believes in Manchester United's financial strength." Sun Wu replied blankly.

Hey, Scholes has been described by the media as a low-key master in his career, the kind who doesn't talk much... But after retiring, this fellow immediately turned into a vicious tongue. furious.

Jesús took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes and said slowly: "Stoke City insisted on not reducing the price for 1000 million euros, but Nani's transfer value is only 800 million."

No way, Nzonzi has almost broken his face with the club, and being able to transfer to Manchester United is a big step in his career...but Stoke City insisted on an offer of 1000 million, San Dezi has notified Pochettino Yes, this price will never be accepted!

"Where is Alderweireld?" Sun Wu asked after a moment of silence.

"It went well there, but it was a bit unpleasant with Atletico Madrid." Miguel explained: "It is said that Simeone is very optimistic about the Belgian, but Alderweireld is more willing to come to Manchester United."

"About 500 million euros. After all, he only has one year left in his contract with Ajax." Jesus added: "We are now discussing personal conditions. If there is no accident, the signing will be completed in a few days."

"Okay, go get busy first." Pochettino rushed a few assistants to the next office and motioned for Sun Wu to sit down.

"No, I'll just boil water." Sun Wu poured a glass of water and sat down.

"Are you here to talk about Pogba?" Pochettino knew Sun Wu's intentions, "This is a big problem, let alone Giggs, even Cleverly and Lingard are no better than him on the training ground. Inferior."

"But Pogba's personal ability is much better than Cleverly and Lingard." Sun Wu sighed, "He was born as a defensive midfielder, but he has a strong desire to attack... he has a heart that can attack ah."

"Actually he could be the next Vieira."

"But the problem is that he wants to be better than Vieira." Sun Wu shrugged, "Vieira doesn't contribute much in offense, and steals are not Pogba's strong point."

"Even steals are often dribbled through rather than passed to teammates." Pochettino shook his head.

In Pochettino's tactical system, except for individual players, frequent dribbling is not required, recommended or even allowed. He prefers to use passing and efficient running to advance rather than relying on personal breakthroughs.

In the current Manchester United team, only Griezmann and Sun Wu have the right to choose the timing of the dribbling location. The former is because of his outstanding dribbling ability and is likely to face the goal directly after breaking through, while the latter is because of his dribbling breakthrough. The precision of timing.

Pogba started two consecutive games but was replaced, mainly because his dribbling dragged down the team's organization and slowed down the team's speed... Often the ball fell to his feet, and it would always come to a standstill, just like If a screw of a machine is not tightened, it will always get stuck somewhere.

Sun Wu got up and took a few steps to stand beside the tactical board, "Actually, Pogba has the ability to move quickly and pass the ball, and his ability to play the ball is also good. Even his long pass ability is not inferior to Carrick. The key is his positioning. .”

Pochettino also came over and asked with interest: "Change position?"

"The position has changed slightly, but it's more about the change in the position of the team." Sun Wu moved the chess piece slightly to the left.

"Although Pogba has a breakthrough ability, his movement frequency is slow and his speed is not fast. Can he adapt to the wing?" Pochettino shook his head first, and then realized, "In fact, he is still a central player."

"En." Sun Wu nodded, "Subtle changes in position have changed his positioning, more defensively in the ribs, and he doesn't need to fill up frequently, and he focuses more on offense."

"Evra on the left, Griezmann and Klose in front, me on the right..."

"Can break through a cross, can send a through ball to Evra or Griezmann, can also cut inside to play with me, can send a transfer ball to Thomas Müller or Valencia, can even come in for a kick Great long shot..."

Sun Wu eloquently explained this set of tactics, constantly moving the pieces back and forth on the tactical board, while Pochettino listened quietly with his arms folded.

This set of tactics is inspired by Sun Wu's knowledge of Pogba in his previous life.

After refusing to renew his contract with Manchester United, Pogba transferred to Juventus for 0 worth and quickly became the main force.

But in that old lady formation, there are two generals in the center, Pirlo and Marchisio. The former organizes the offense and the latter is responsible for the defense. The two Italian internationals cooperated seamlessly, and Pogba was playing on the left of the center. attacking midfield.

Breaking through from the side, rushing into the penalty area to grab points, and taking long shots from the outside... Pogba has grown rapidly in Juventus, and the most important thing is that his offensive talent has fully bloomed there.

In the season after Pirlo moved to the American Major League, Pogba was at the core of the midfield. As a result, Juventus fell into the relegation zone after two months... But Pogba used convincing performances all the way in the second half of the season Cyclonus once again won the League Championship for the Old Lady.

"Three questions." Pochettino interrupted Sun Wu's explanation, "First, it depends on Pogba's opinion."

"Of course." Sun Wu also knows the truth that a twisted melon is not sweet, but he believes that Pogba is more willing to play in the attacking midfielder.

"Second, the tactics need to be modified. It is not that simple to change the positions of the midfielders." Pochettino nodded slightly. "The running route and the formation changes between offense and defense need to be re-discussed."

Sun Wu laughed twice. He wanted to talk about this tactic a long time ago, but he kept hiding it because he was afraid that Pochettino would have an idea. It was not until Pogba was extremely frustrated after being replaced yesterday that he made up his mind.

Pochettino also thought of this, smiled and continued: "Third, we need an excellent midfielder."

Sun Wu put away his smile and nodded expressionlessly.

Without an excellent midfielder, everything is out of the question.

"Is there anyone to choose?"

"Yes, and more than one."

"Bought Alderweireld, we basically don't have much budget on hand."

"I understand, one is free and the other can be rented, sir, you choose."
