Chapter 604 Holidays
"Ice Prince" Bergkamp with graying hair smiled and unfolded the small ball in his hand to the camera lens.

"Manchester United."

"The second team in Group F is Manchester United."

The camera immediately found Manchester United coach Pochettino, and then switched to Barcelona coach Martino, who also just took office.

15 minutes ago, another Dutch legend, Overmars, pulled out the first team in Group F, Barcelona.

There was a slight commotion in the living room. After tonight's dinner, some teammates left, but some stayed to watch the draw ceremony of the UEFA Champions League group stage.

Although Guardiola has already left, the main structure of this team has not changed much. Although Thiago and Bartra have been lost this summer, Neymar, Afella and Sanchez have also been supplemented.

Vilanova, who had high hopes last season, was defeated at the last moment. The league championship was snatched by Atletico Madrid, the Copa del Rey was eliminated early, and the Champions League failed to reach the semi-finals. In June this year, Vilanova officially resigned.

Two years ago, Enrique, who competed with Vilanova for the position of coach, became Barcelona's first choice. Unfortunately, he still has a contract with Celta. In the end, Russell chose the Argentine Martino.

In fact, although Martino is recognized as very talented, he does not have an impressive resume. The best head coach in South America in 2007 is the best. His appointment is said to have something to do with Messi, because Messi entered La Marcia had previously trained with Newell's Old Boys under Martino.

Looking at the somewhat serious Martino on the screen, Sun Wu showed a playful smile... He knew the ending of this old man too well. This is the worst head coach since Rijkaard. It's a mess.

"Best?" Giggs tilted his head to see this smile, "What's wrong?"

Sun Wu raised his vibrating phone, "Ha, someone is provoking me!"

"They want revenge?" Griezmann looked over and read: "Best, wait!"

"Who is this?"

"Peak." Sun Wu curled his lips, and the next moment the phone vibrated again, before Sun Wu could look at it, the phone vibrated non-stop as if he had gone mad.

The teammates around them all turned their heads to look at it. The Barcelona players are trying their best to take revenge. It seems that the meeting with Best two years ago caused a lot of psychological trauma to Barcelona...

"Did the whole Barcelona team send you a message?" Giggs couldn't help but twitched his mouth.

"No, most of them. In the past two years, I have been to Barcelona a little less." Sun Wu said casually, keeping his eyes on the phone until he saw the name, Leon Messi.

In the UEFA Champions League final more than two years ago, Sun Wu led Schalke 04 to complete a performance that attracted worldwide attention, leaving Barcelona, ​​known as the "Cosmic Team", helpless.

After that final, although Barcelona was not in a slump, it also lost the momentum of the previous three years. In addition to Guardiola's resignation, Vilanova coached with illness, and Messi began to vomit again and again. In the event, Barcelona lost the league title for two consecutive years and only won one Copa del Rey.

When Sun Wu moved to Tottenham Hotspur, Messi expressed his desire to play again several times in contact with Sun Wu, but soon, the contact between the two was interrupted.

At the end of 2011, FIFA awarded the Ballon d'Or to Messi. Not only did this event arouse great dissent, numerous media including the Catalan sports newspaper expressed their opposition, and Messi himself was also framed. on fire.

In the words of the Catalan sports newspaper, Messi's career is more than just two Golden Globes, but the third should not be this one.

Although Barcelona players such as Harvey, Iniesta, Puyol and Pique all supported Messi, they also contacted Sun Wu in private to comfort the disappointed Sun Wu.

And Messi himself refused Sun Wu's contact under heavy pressure, not to mention phone calls and text messages. Sun Wu once went to Barcelona for vacation to meet Pique and Busquets. Messi hesitated and still didn't go.

This state has continued to this day, and Messi sent an unsolicited text message for the first time in two years.

"Best, come on."

Although he was robbed of the Golden Globe by Messi, the rational Sun Wu did not resent him. The key lies in the brain-dead FIFA rather than Messi himself.

Putting away his phone with a smile, Sun Wu heard Griezmann and Giggs discussing this Barcelona team.

"It's hard to say, it's hard to defend, but now Barcelona's defense is not strong either."

"It feels like Barcelona's possession has declined since Guardiola and Vilanova left."

"That's not the key." Sun Wu interrupted and added: "The most important thing is that this Argentine doesn't have a good resume."

Griezmann was taken aback and retorted: "Rangnick didn't have a good resume..."

Sun Wu laughed, "But Schalke 04 is not a traditional European giant."

"Best means that it is difficult for Martino to control the locker room." The seasoned Giggs quickly understood Sun Wu's thinking, "The media said that he was appointed because of his relationship with Messi..."

"And the midfielder... tsk tsk." Sun Wu smiled maliciously, "In addition to Messi and Neymar, Sanchez can get the remaining main position, then Pedro, Afeilai, Cuenca what to do?"

"For the same reason, Harvey, Busquets and Iniesta iron triangle, what about Rakitic and Fabregas?"

"What's more, according to Martino's previous coaching style, he needs a defensive midfielder, so this season Alexander Song has not been loaned out...he has a headache!"

"No matter who is removed, no one will be satisfied, and Martino does not have the authority to control the team..."

Fabregas returned to the frontcourt of Camp Nou in 2012. Rakitic's performance in the previous season was very mediocre, and Russell had to spend 3000 million euros to buy Fabregas back.

But it's a pity that Xiaofa quickly sank after her stunning performance at the beginning... I can't wait until the second half of the season!

The 33-year-old Harvey's stable performance made Xiaofa extremely desperate, and once Iniesta was in position to play left winger, he preferred to use Rakitic who had a wider coverage, more active running, and harder defense than Ranova.

And Cesc Fabregas had to play as a winger and even as a center forward when Messi was injured...

"By the way, who is the third grade?"

"Leverkusen."

Sun Wu smacked his lips, this is a familiar opponent, but Heynckes has left, and Vidal, whom Sun Wu is most familiar with, has also gone to Juventus.

In terms of overall strength, Leverkusen is not Manchester United's opponent, but anything can happen on the football field. A few days ago, Kolo Touré spit on the crotch of the referee.

"Napoli."

The last team to be drawn was Naples in Serie A.

Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Leverkusen, Napoli.

They are all giants in the four major leagues. Even the nominally weakest Naples has such powerful players as Higuain, Mertens, Hamsik, and Insigne.

There is no doubt that this is a death group. Once Barcelona and Manchester United are a little careless, they are likely to fight each other to the death.

Sun Wu stretched out his hand and pulled his ears, glanced at the silent teammates around him, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing."

"Good thing?" Griezmann twitched his mouth.

"Of course, we can only prove our strength by getting out of the death group." Sun Wu said indifferently: "Only by playing against such a team can we quickly develop the team's tacit understanding and tactical ability."

"More than two years ago, Schalke 04 was in a group with Real Madrid and AC Milan. It was more dangerous than this time."

"It was even worse three years ago. Wolfsburg was in a group with Inter Milan and Manchester United...didn't you notice?" Bigger, Manchester United won the title in 1998 and they were in a group with Barcelona in that group stage."

The living room was still silent, and after a while, Phil Jones said quietly: "Best, you must have caused us trouble..."

"That is, you are assigned to the death group every time in the Champions League!"

"I remember that Tottenham were in a group with Real Madrid and Dortmund last year... Hey, Real Madrid won the championship in the end!"

"Please, Best, the first half of the season is a critical time to grab points!"

Sun Wu is also drunk, and I can still blame him...

Giggs on the side laughed and panted, "Talk to Mauricio tomorrow..."

Sun Wu rolled his eyes, "Okay, it's time for you to get out!"

The teammates left one by one, and Sun Wu stopped Fletcher, who had been silent today, "Darren, can you stay?"

"Huh?" Fletcher was a little surprised, "Is there something wrong?"

After sending the others away, Sun Wu took Fletcher into the study.

This is the study room arranged by Christine and Fei Sun according to Sun Wu's request. There are two computers on the huge desk, a huge bookcase on the right side, and a large-screen plasma TV. On the side bookcase There are densely packed CDs, and behind the sofa opposite the TV screen is a tactical board.

"A few days ago, I went to Alex's house as a guest, and he asked about you again." Sun Wu quickly placed the pieces on the tactical board, "Your contract will expire next summer."

Fletcher froze for a while before answering: "Yes."

After setting up the ten chess pieces and pinching the 24 chess pieces in his hands, Sun Wu turned around, "Alex thinks you are one of the best defensive midfielders in the Premier League when you are healthy. I agree with him."

Fletcher was a little surprised, and smiled wryly: "I am healthy..."

"I have consulted Dr. Swell. Although his main specialty is muscular, skeletal, and neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction, the hospital where you took over the treatment has a good relationship with him." Sun Wu said with a smile: "According to the current progress, the second half of the season can meet the conditions of entry.”

"That only meets the minimum playing conditions." Fletcher explained: "According to the plan, we will start gaining weight at the end of this year, then slowly start physical fitness and strength training, and start training with the ball after February next year, but I want to resume the game The state is...difficult."

Fletcher is telling the truth. After all, for nearly three years, he only played less than 10 times in official games, and he didn’t even appear on the training ground for a long time. This made it difficult for him to guarantee his competitive state. The key reason why Pochettino doesn't like him very much.

Fletcher, who came as a guest today, is very silent. In fact, this Scot has a very cheerful personality. The reason for his silence is because he knows very well that according to the current situation, it will be difficult for him to get a contract extension from Manchester United. It is very likely that he will bid farewell next summer. Old Trafford.

"I understand." Sun Wu nodded, "But Darren, you should also understand how expensive an excellent midfielder is in today's transfer market, and it may not be able to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League."

"And now Manchester United lacks an excellent midfielder. Your absence caused Manchester United to lose the Champions League semi-final two years ago, and Ferguson also admitted to me that in the reconstruction plan of Manchester United's midfield, you were the first to be determined to stay. down."

"Carrick, Fellaini, Pogba, and Cleverley are all unqualified for this position. Motta is just a cameo. He is already in his 30s, and you..." Sun Wu stared at Fletcher Eyes, "Darren Fletcher, only 28 years old, this is the golden age of a professional player!"

"I admit that Pochettino didn't include you in the plan." Sun Wu turned around and snapped the No. 24 pawn where it should be, "But you are in my plan!"

"With you, Manchester United won't need to worry about weak waist for at least three years."

"With you, Manchester United can guarantee the team's fighting spirit and tenacity to the greatest extent!"

"With you, Manchester United can get the best midfielder in the world without spending a penny!"

The provocative parallel sentences made Fletcher tremble slightly. He wanted to say something but his mouth was dry...

"As long as the game can be restored, I will advise Pochettino to give you game time as much as possible. As long as you have a chance to play, I believe you can conquer him."

"but……"

"Where there is a will, there is a way." Sun Wu finished speaking slowly in Chinese before explaining: "As long as you want to do it, you can definitely do it."

"I will contact the hospital and discuss with Dr. Swell, and let the club's medical team send a team for long-term observation. I have even invited a doctor from China to take care of your physical condition." Sun Wu said with a smile: "Believe me, You must be able to return to the field early."

"Chinese doctor?"

"En." Sun Wu responded briefly, uh, it can't be said that I used the recovery card for you.

"Darren, you didn't play in the 2008 Champions League final, and you were suspended for the 2009 Champions League final." Sun Wu said slowly: "Similar things happened to Scholes. Ten years later the regret was made up."

"Darren, you can do it too!"

Erha at his feet raised his head and looked at the Scot, well, another one who fell into the pit...

"Attention the host, your friend Darren Fletcher is online, with a friend degree of 92."

After Fletcher left, another reminder sounded in his mind.

Friends degree 92... Sun Wu curled his lips, Manchester United really deserves to be a wealthy family, basically there is no fuel-efficient lamp, and it took more than three months before someone finally entered the pit, and he was still a Fletcher who had been recovering from injuries for more than two years.

What Sun Wu said just now is true. If Fletcher can return to his condition, although Manchester United is not perfect this season, it will still be very competitive.

But from the perspective of Sun Wu's own interests... 2000 points to buy a recovery card to receive a friend quota, the price/performance ratio is too low.

No way, Manchester United needs an excellent midfielder too much. Although Motta's defensive ability is not weak, after all, he is getting older and his running ability will gradually decline, and more of his talent is in organizing offense.

If Fletcher can come back, the midfielder will form the main lineup of Fletcher, Sun Wu, Pogba, Motta, Carrick, Cleverly, Lingard rotation, tsk tsk, enough to compete with Huang Saren Compete.

In a few years, Fletcher and Carrick will decline as they get older. Buying Kanter... what a joy!
However, the only problem is that the consumption of points this season is too serious. The main players or the glass players all use their medical insurance cards. After a season, one person will have to spend 200 points.

Sun Wu calculated that after the Champions League final two years ago, the points in his hand were basically empty, and he even had no points to buy his medical insurance card after coming to Tottenham.

Fortunately, after lifting the Big Ears Cup, Sun Wu's reputation soared, and a large number of famous and non-famous stars joined the friend list. Before leaving Tottenham this summer, Sun Wu accumulated more than 3000 points in his hands.

Now Fletcher has used 2000 points, Griezmann, Sun Wu, Mota, Thomas Muller, Klose, Phil Jones have all used their medical insurance cards, and there are not many points left in the next season .

Sun Wu gritted his teeth after thinking about it for a while, and then used a training bonus card for Fletcher. After his body recovered, he needed a period of physical training and training with the ball. The Manchester United season is very important.

Points are such a thing, you can't lay eggs if you stay there!

Anyway, a lot of points can be saved in one season!

……

There is still less than half a month before the resumption of the battle in the Premier League. Sun Wu planned to focus on discussing Pogba's positioning with Pochettino, but the Argentine is not free...Tactical discussion is one of the most important responsibilities of the head coach. But by no means all.

So Sun Wu simply went on vacation with Christine, who has been complaining about Sun Wu's busy summer.

Gathered with friends in Barcelona first, Sun Wu made a bet with Pique and Busquets again, and then patiently listened to Rakitic's complaints.

He came to Camp Nou two years ago as the "successor of Harvey". Rakitic's life was not easy. It was difficult to continue to play for a long time, and he often changed positions. Fabregas joined in the second year It made him worse.

After comforting Rakitic for a while, Sun Wucai and Christine found a beach to hang out comfortably for a whole week, and did not return to Manchester until September 9.

"Didn't succeed?" Christine slapped Patrick hard when Sun Wu spoke to Patrick in a joking and mocking tone.

"Hmph!" Patrick stared at the kid in front of him unhappily... I brought you to play football since I was a child, and taught you so many things hand in hand just to fight against me! ?

Although his daughter was on his side just now, Patrick still didn't let Christine go, he cleared his throat and prepared to give him a good reprimand...

But Sun Wu rushed ahead and said, "It wasn't Christine who leaked the secret...Uncle Patrick, don't even think about it. How could you hide someone from Schalke 04?"

It has to be said that Sun Wu made people think too simply. After moving to Tottenham, Sun Wu brought out many players in his pocket who were suitable for Tottenham's tactics to discuss with Patrick and Guardiola.

Among them are Fernandinho and Walker...the latter was still loaned out by Tottenham at that time. In addition, Sun Wu also mentioned the two most important vertical piercing breakthroughs under Guardiola. Hands, Sterling and Sane.

In Guardiola's tactical system, ball control is the foundation and rhythm is the killer's trump card, but breakthrough is the most important means to squeeze out the killer's trump card. Just like Robery, Messi and Xiaobai, breakthrough is very important to Guardiola.

Therefore, Manchester City's most important signing in the summer is the breakthrough player. After snatching Douglas Coster, they are chasing Sterling, but Liverpool refuse to let go, so they choose Gotze.

At the same time, Guardiola's other eye is fixed on Sane. This is a promising winger. The most important thing is that he is still in the Schalke 04 youth team. Although he has signed a contract with the club, he has not yet entered. For the first team, the cost of poaching is very low.

So, during the break of the European League for more than a week, Patrick went to Germany to pay a special visit to the Schalke 04 youth training camp... Melon's popularity is too high for this kind of thing.

But Patrick did not expect that he is not well-known in other places, but he is well-known in the Schalke 04 club... Not to mention Sun Wu, even Christine used to come to the door several times a month.

Patrick entered Schalke 04 with his front foot, and Sun Wu received a call with his back foot... It was "Fat Tiger" Kolasinac who had just been promoted to the first team and occasionally went back to see his friends.

Wanting to hide the truth... Sun Wu immediately called Sane backhandedly. This little guy who looked a bit silly patted his chest and said with certainty that he would not go to Manchester City... but he also vaguely refused to agree to come to Manchester United. Tsk tsk, they are all human beings.

Afterwards, Sun Wu carefully recalled that Sane should have played in these two seasons in his previous life. In that time and space, Gua Tu took over Manchester City in the summer of 2016, which means that Sane will need at least two to three years to be used.

That night, after Sun Wu finished his routine homework and researched his opponent Crystal Palace in the next round, he found an interesting post on a football forum.

"Harry Kane is finally gone!"

Tottenham lost a large number of main players this summer, but they also spent a lot of money to make up for it. They bought Lamela from Rome, introduced Danish midfielder Eriksson, and bought Balotelli, who was bald and unwanted, at the last moment. Shot bought Spanish center Negredo.

But in the first three league games, Tottenham's main center forward was Harry Kane. This striker who was not favored by Guardiola because of his tactical characteristics finally got a chance to perform.

Because of Manchester United's purchase, Tottenham chairman Levy even offered Kane a new contract.

As a result, Harry Kane contributed 0 shots in the three games, not to mention scoring, and none of them hit the goal. Even in the North London Derby in the last round of the league, Tottenham fell behind 1-[-]. En faced empty goal... kicked wide.

Tottenham coach Manuel Pellegrini finally couldn't take it anymore, and immediately rented Kane out after buying Negredo.

After reading the post, Sun Wu laughed, and Pellegrini was too impatient!
Although Harry Kane was the top striker in the Premier League later, he had a weird feature that everyone knew... how he played in August and didn't score!
