Chapter 620 Blueprint
After playing Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City in a row, there was also the first game of the Champions League in the middle, so Pochettino made a large rotation in the next League Cup game.

The League Cup was organized by the English Football League in the 60s. It was originally intended to challenge the FA Cup organized by the FA, but now it has become more and more tasteless. Therefore, the rich teams often have a substitute lineup or even a reserve team. Manchester United also No exception.

Before the match, Sun Wu was punished for provoking fans in the Double Red Club. He was suspended for one game and fined 2000 pounds. Although Manchester United was dissatisfied with this, he had no objection, because Sun Wu could just use this League Cup to wash off the suspension.

However, despite being suspended, Sun Wu still appeared on the bench on the sidelines.

"Manchester United took six to 10 minutes to prove that without Best, they would not be able to organize an attack at all." Today's commentator commented in a mocking tone.

In fact, most of Manchester United's starters today are first-team players, goalkeeper Lindegao, defense Coleman, Evans, Luke Shaw, and another central defender Michael Keane was transferred from the reserve team.

The midfielder is Fellaini, Alderweireld partner Giggs, the forward line is Hernandez partner Lingard, and there is a position for the well-received Will Keane in the reserve team.

Either it is a substitute player who does not get enough playing time in the team, such as Lindegao and Fellaini, or the main force of the young people in the reserve team. Except for the Keane brothers, most of Lingard also plays in the reserve team. He made the roster twice, but only played once.

Today's opponent is Huddersfield, which Sun Wuting is familiar with. This team plays pure English football, with simple long passes and an impenetrable defense in the backcourt, actively seeking physical confrontation.

It is difficult for Giggs, who should take on the task of organizing, to pass and receive the ball calmly in the frontcourt, while Fellaini and Alderweireld do not have the ability to organize, which makes Manchester United's frontcourt attack a mess.

Hernandez is a center forward who needs his teammates to provide passes, while Lingard has a few successful breakthroughs with the ball on the wing but failed to send high-quality crosses, Will Keane will not say... …A serious injury a few years ago quickly brought down this promising talent.

Sitting on the coach's bench, Sun Wu posed as a "thinker" and muttered, "Actually Giggs is more suitable for the wing..."

"Then who will go in the middle?" Miguel asked in a low voice.

"Lingard can play as a number 10."

"He has always played on the wing." Jesús shook his head. "I don't think he has excellent organizational skills."

Sun Wu curled his lips and remained silent. Lingard did not have strong organizational skills, but his wide-ranging and smart running, his unsloppy passing and receiving, and his direct threat to the goal gave him strong mobility. It is a good chess piece that can tear apart the opponent's defense.

"It's okay to lose." Sun Wu whispered again: "There are still four rounds after the promotion, and the quarter-finals and semi-finals are two rounds. They have to play six games together!"

"Best, be quiet!" Pochettino couldn't help but stare back.

Sun Wu closed his mouth helplessly, thinking about Manchester United's midfielder in his heart.

I will definitely occupy a main position. Considering the medical insurance card, I will only be rotated due to physical fitness during the intensive competition period.

Pogba should have a position, but this guy needs to be repositioned and is still recovering from his injury. When he returns to the training ground, Sun Wu and Pochettino will talk to him.

The position of the defensive midfielder is a bit difficult. It is impossible for Cleverley to play a single defensive midfielder. Motta is barely competent, but it is a waste of his organizational talent, and Carrick's defense is not reassuring.

Fellaini was basically given up, and he himself knew it well. It is said that he is going to return to Everton, and the midfielder Alderweireld in this game... makes Sun Wu dumbfounded.

In the last game, Sun Wu spent 100 points to buy an adaptation card, which led to Alderweireld's performance in the midfielder position for a few minutes, which made people's eyes shine, but it also directly led to Pochettino's enthusiasm. The Belgian went to play as a midfielder.

Alderweireld's performance in this game can't be compared with the last game at all. Although he is physically strong and has repeatedly defeated his opponents in the fight for high points, he lost his position several times when dealing with the opponent's counterattack, which is the striker level of Huddersfield. It's kind of bad...

Thinking of this, Sun Wu glanced at Evans. The Irishman's performance today is fairly stable. In fact, his level is there, but he makes low-level mistakes frequently due to psychological factors, which makes people worry.

Sun Wu's thoughts flew farther and farther, and that guy Smolin made it onto the friend list in one fell swoop, talking and laughing these days, and getting along with Sun Wu better than Phil Jones...

Tsk tsk, another one that made Sun Wu dumbfounded.

Sun Wu can only pray silently, the members of the coaching staff don't say that they suggest buying a central defender to replace him...

However, the improved relationship with Smalling has greatly improved Sun Wu's image. Ferguson publicly commented on Sun Wu's ability to motivate his teammates. Ferdinand, who has always been lukewarm to Sun Wu, invited Sun Wu to visit yesterday. to party.

Hey, Alderweireld was originally bought to play the main force instead of Smalling, but he was pushed on the bench and was even arranged by Pochettino to play as a guest midfielder...

Sun Wu shook his head and turned back to consider the position of the midfielder, and suddenly turned around and asked: "Mike, I heard that Fletcher is recovering well?"

Mike Phelan was stunned for a moment before answering: "Swell mentioned that he recovered very quickly, which exceeded his expectations."

That is, the recovery card bought with 2000 points!

"When will you be able to come back?"

"It's hard to say." Mike Phelan and Fletcher have a good relationship, and said with open hands: "Swell re-worked the schedule, and started training with the ball around the end of October, and returned to the reserve team at the end of the year, depending on the situation. state."

Sun Wu made some calculations in his mind, and bought a recovery card for Fletcher, and also a training bonus card, "That is to say, he will be able to return to the team around February next year?"

"It's hard to say, after all, I haven't played much football for two years." Miguel said from the side: "It's not so easy to get back to the game, Best, how much time did you spend back then?"

"Me?" Sun Wu thought for a while, "It's about half a year, but it can't be counted that way. At that time, I basically trained alone, and La Masia did not provide other support except for the venue. In addition, I went to several places around November. The club tried out."

Jesús suddenly interjected: "One more thing, Fletcher is very thin now, and he could easily be injured again if he is not careful."

"Indeed." Mike Phelan nodded, "So there were nearly two months between training with the ball and going to the reserve team, mainly for gaining weight."

After a pause, Mike Phelan whispered, "Best, if Fletcher recovers, it will be of great help to the team."

"Of course." Sun Wu nodded, "Mota's defense is actually not bad, but the coverage is very narrow. Organizationally, he mainly uses running passes to catch the ball and long passes, while Fletcher's forward penetration is more threatening to the goal."

In Sun Wu's blueprint, Fletcher guards the midfielder and undertakes most of the organizational tasks. On the other side, Pogba and Motta compete for a main position. This is the most suitable lineup.

However, thinking about this is a bit far away now, and Sun Wu is faintly aware of a problem. After all, Klose is 35 years old, and it is impossible to start every game. Hernandez's ability is limited. If Griezmann is the first striker , then the left side lacks a breakthrough player.

Motta's breakthrough ability is similar to that of Sun Wu, while Pogba has the ability to dribble and breakthrough.

Just as he thought of this, a long whistle suddenly interrupted Sun Wu's thoughts.

"Manchester United finally scored, Fellaini headed it in from the corner."

After scoring the goal, Fellaini rushed to the sidelines with a roar, and kicked the corner flagpole hard, with a look of displeasure.

Sun Wu pouted, this guy is also unlucky, he was the core of Everton, but was cheated by Moyes.
