Chapter 617 Set Kicks 2020
Stamford Bridge Stadium in London.

Mourinho looked at the situation on the field with complacency. In this round of the league, Chelsea played against Fulham at home. Although the first half did not start smoothly, Cavani scored a hat-trick within 20 minutes of the second half. Rooney scored a free kick. Chelsea has 4 It is far ahead of 0, and the five-game winning streak has become a settlement.

"It's still 2 to 1, Manchester United leads." The assistant coach shrugged.

Mourinho put his hands in his pockets without saying a word, but he was very surprised.

He admitted that Pochettino has two brushes, and Best is a world-class star, but Manchester City led by Guardiola is still behind at home, which Mourinho did not expect in advance.

As analyzed by the media, Mourinho also believes that Manchester City has an absolute upper hand in terms of the ability of the coach, the level of the players and the depth of the bench, but he did not expect that Manchester United can fight a bloody way in adversity.

Draw with Chelsea, beat Liverpool, and if they can get rid of Manchester City, Manchester United can already score 7 points in the small round-robin match of the Premier League's top five.

……

In the stands of the Elyhard Stadium, the home fans still maintained their enthusiasm and still booed Sun Wu when he took the ball.

But the louder the boos, the better Sun-woo is.

In the 76th minute, Thiago's long-range shot from outside the penalty area hit Phil Jones and then changed the line. Tevez's two combos on the edge of the small penalty area were blocked by De Gea's chest and shoulders inconceivably.

Cleverly made a big clearance, and the ball flew aimlessly forward. After Otamendi took the ball, seeing that Sun Wu didn't go up to grab it, he simply dribbled the ball forward.

But the jogging Griezmann suddenly dropped back, and when Otamendi tucked the ball to Thiago who came back to receive the ball, Griezmann broke the ball with a flying tackle.

"Back the ball!"

"United strike back..."

The ball fell to Motta's feet, but Aguero and David Silva beside him immediately jumped on it.

At this time, Motta's sophistication can be seen. He immediately turned around after taking the ball and seemed to pass it back to goalkeeper De Gea.

Aguero stopped immediately...he wanted to see if he had a chance to steal the ball halfway.

But Motta turned again, circled in place to keep David Silva behind, and passed the ball to Giggs with his left foot.

"Wonderful stay away from ... Ryan Giggs ... through the ball!"

Giggs' direct pass accurately found Griezmann who was pulled to the left, Xavi Alonso pushed up, Walker was chasing back, Otamendi and Fernandinho were paying attention Sun Wu.

And Sun Wu's running is very rogue. He first accelerated in the middle to attract Fei Niao's attention, then suddenly turned and ran to the left...Fei Niao followed.

But soon Fei Bird stopped.

Sun Wu ran out of bounds, Griezmann tipped his toe, Sun Wu bypassed Harvey Alonso and Griezmann from outside the bounds, and the header accelerated along the sidewalk.

And Fernandinho was blocked by Xavi Alonso and Griezmann in the pursuit route.

Although these years have not stopped training on dribbling and breakthrough, this is really not Sun Wu's strong point.

As long as it is about five meters ahead, Sun Wu is sure to send the ball to the feet of Thomas Muller who is running wildly... But Walker, who is full of physical fitness, also rushed forward, and used a flying shovel to bring Sun Wu down with the ball. .

"Di!"

It was an unquestionable foul, but there were violent boos from the stands.

"There is nothing wrong with this foul." Zhan Jun was puzzled at first, but the next moment, the camera showed Sun Wu who was rolling on the ground.

Paralysis is really not an act this time. Although there is no injury with a medical insurance card, it really hurts!
The shovel from the side and rear, even though it touched the ball, brought Sun Wu down like felling a tree... The referee once again drew out a yellow card, which was the fifth yellow card received by Sun Wu.

Sun Wu grinned and rubbed his calf, saw Walker reaching out, and slapped the guy's hand off... If it wasn't for Lao Tzu's recommendation the year before last, Guardiola would have wanted to buy a right back, but he slapped him so hard!
"Best!" Pochettino shouted loudly on the sidelines, and made a gesture after Sun Wu looked over.

Sun Wu hesitated before nodding. This is Pochettino's free kick tactic, allowing central defenders Smalling and Jones to enter the penalty area to grab points.

Sun Wu has no opinion on this. The two tall central defenders may pose a threat, but Manchester City may also use the next counterattack to score... Sun Wu does not want to comment, nor can he comment on whether Pochettino’s choice is correct or not. no.

There are still 15 minutes left, it is hard to say whether it can be defended, and the set kick is a good opportunity.

"Both Smalling and Phil Jones came up." Zhan Jun was a little nervous, "Cleverley and Motta came to take this free kick. The angle is a bit off. It must be an indirect free kick, about 30 meters away from the goal."

"Evra and Valencia stayed in the backcourt..." Zhang Lu suddenly gasped, "Sun Wu is standing in the penalty area, and it is in the small penalty area."

Guardiola frowned and looked at Sun Wu who was standing alone in the small penalty area. This guy still has a leisurely chat with Bravo. What does this guy want to do?
It is said that Guardiola never trains set-pieces in Barcelona. This statement is wrong. Guardiola does not pay attention to set-piece attacks. Either Messi and Alves' direct shots, or short passes to control the ball. Underfoot, short pass penetration.

But Guardiola attaches great importance to set-piece defense, how could he not pay attention to the team's weakest defense on the surface.

He chooses zone defense. Tall players with headers stand at the front point and near the penalty spot. Other players spread out to protect, and there are special personnel who will stay a little away from the crowd. He intercepts and blocks the opponent to grab the second. A long-range shot after landing.

Moreover, Guardiola does not arrange special personnel to stand by the goal post in the set-piece defense. The reason for this arrangement is to prevent the opponent's anti-offside on the one hand, and to have more people in the penalty area on the other hand.

So whether it is in Barcelona or Tottenham, the number of corner kicks or indirect set kicks is very small, but the number of goals scored is also very small.

These Sun Wus are too clear, and he decided to do something that surprised Guardiola.

"Di!"

Cleverley feints and Motta takes a free kick with his left foot.

At the same time, the players from both sides gathered at the edge of the big penalty area began to sprint and pull each other... while Sun Wu, who was standing alone in the small penalty area, found a gap and walked out.

The ball flew to the back point... Sun Wu was a little disappointed, this was completely different from his plan, it seems that there is still a tacit understanding between him and Mota.

Phil Jones overwhelmed Walker and headed the ball away, but Otamendi made a header ahead of Smalling, and Xavi Alonso from the edge of the penalty area made a header relay...

"City's counterattack... oh, Mota steals the ball!"

David Silva in the wall spread out and ran. He didn't jump up after seeing the height of the ball, but was about to pass the ball...but Motta behind him stood still and intercepted the ball.

Silva is 169cm, while Mota is 188cm.

With the ball under his feet, Motta glanced at the penalty area and swung his left foot...seemingly about to cross again.

At this time, Sun Wu narrowed his eyes and looked at Mota, and the eyes of the two met again.

The Manchester City players were a little nervous. After all, Kompany, the captain with the best header, had already left the field, but Motta put his left foot down gently and chose to step forward.

Douglas Costa jumped on it immediately, Motta glanced to the left... Evra was plugging in at high speed.

At this moment, the crowd in the penalty area suddenly dispersed, Thomas Muller, Phil Jones, and Griezmann were all walking out, for fear of offside.

And Walker quickly rushed to the side to block Evra.

But Motta smashed the ball again, and Douglas Costa jumped too hard and was easily thrown away by the Italian.

"careful!"

Xavi Alonso was calling from behind and he knew Motta had a good shot from long range.

But Motta did not choose to shoot from a long distance, but sent a direct pass!
The ball rolled past Walker's back and Fernandinho's front...

"Sun Wu..."

"Direct pass and oblique insertion!"

This time there is finally a tacit understanding!

Motta sent a direct pass, and Sun Wu, who was hovering on the edge of the penalty area, suddenly inserted into the penalty area, although Otamendi followed behind him.

"The goalkeeper is out!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Bravo had already attacked, and Sun Wu accelerated and stretched out his right foot first.

However, this is not stopping the ball!

　I finally finished it, I will try my best to keep the third watch in the future.
