Chapter 622
On September 9, the whole Manchester United team flew to Leverkusen to settle in a local hotel, and conducted field adaptation training that afternoon.

After returning to the hotel, Miguel flipped through a game video sent by the scout, and said to Jesús with great interest: "I really doubt that Best has a football manager game in his head!"

"what happened again?"

"Michael sent a video just now. Caen's defensive midfielder Kanter performed very well in the French second team. He played the whole game for seven consecutive league rounds. He contributed 12 steals in a single game the day before yesterday."

"12 steals in a single game?" Jesús repeated in surprise.

"Hey, Best compared him to Real Madrid's Casemiro during the summer training camp." Miguel thought for a while, then turned and walked out of the room and pushed open the door of Sun Wu's room next door.

"Yes, yes, it's not far!"

"But it's not close, I'll go back to see you? Why don't you come to see me!?"

"Okay, who told you not to be in the same group as Manchester United!"

Hanging up the phone, Sun Wu laughed and threw the phone on the bed. Farfan insisted that Sun Wu go to Gelsenkirchen to play with him. It is said that the head coach of Schalke 04 is very good at it. Farfan It is Yeye Kaige who lives very nourishingly.

"Miki, what's the matter?" Sun Wu turned on the computer and found that Miguel had entered, and asked casually, "Aren't the tactical discussions over, is there anything else?"

Miguel looked at the computer screen, "He's back..."

"It's a provocative and inductive title. To put it simply, it's a title party." Sun Wu smiled, "It seems that the Bundesliga doesn't welcome me..."

"Of course, in the years you were in the Bundesliga, you took away everything except a German Cup champion. You didn't even get a sip of soup from Bayern." Miguel couldn't help laughing, "It is said that the German The media commented that the reason why Ancelotti can lead Bayern Munich out of the trough is that you left Germany..."

"So, Klinsmann, Van Gaal, Benitez, and Klopp are wronged?" Sun Wu spread his hands.

"Hahaha..." Miguel shook his head and laughed, "By the way, I just received a report from the scout about the Ligue [-] midfielder Kante..."

After listening to Miguel, Sun Wu rubbed his temples, "Miki, does he meet the Premier League standards?"

"Michael's evaluation in the report is that he has strong stealing ability, wide coverage, good explosive power, and excellent defensive support, but lacks experience. He performed well in Ligue 200 games and it is hard to say how he will perform in the Premier League." Miguel explained: "So the conclusion is that it is safe. Continue to observe, if the price is less than [-] million pounds, you can consider introducing it.”

Sun Wu pouted, "And he's too short, Mauricio won't like him."

"Well, Mauricio's tactical system requires the defensive midfielder to often return to the central defender's position to make up for it. He must not only have the ability to play the ball, but also have the ability to compete for headers. This is also determined by the Premier League's game style."

Miguel shook his head, "However, Best, you don't understand that giants like Manchester United import a lot of low-level league players every year, put them in the youth team, reserve team or loan them out, and sell them later...

As long as a star who is good enough to gain a foothold in the first team can be cultivated, it means that the work of the scouting system is great. As long as he does not directly enter the first team, or the transfer fee is too high, the opinion of the first team coaching staff is not Decisive. "

Sun Wu thought for a while before nodding, and sighed: "That's true, so I envy Manchester City and Chelsea!"

Manchester City and Chelsea have invested heavily in youth players. Although it has not been effective yet, Sun Wu knows that these two teams have produced many outstanding talented players in the next few years.

"Kanter continues to observe. If the price is not high, I will suggest that Mauricio buy him." Miguel waved his hand, "You continue to do your homework."

As early as when he intended to leave Tottenham, Sun Wu regarded Matic and Kanter as important pieces in the plan. Now Matic follows the trajectory of time and space to cooperate with Mourinho. Now it seems that if Mourinho Neo did not come to Manchester United, it is difficult to imagine Matic moving to Manchester United.

And Kanter...it's a bit of a coincidence that he came out at the time, and it happens to be the kind of midfielder that Pochettino doesn't like very much. Uh, everything else is good, but he is too short, only 168cm.

Such a short midfielder is not uncommon, such as Harvey, Pirlo, and Cabaye are not tall, but they are all organizational midfielders.

To be precise, such a short defensive midfielder is very rare, like the defensive midfielders Matic, Henderson, Dell, and Schneiderlin who later became famous in the Premier League are all above 185cm, even Fernandinho There is also 177cm.

However, Sun Wu knew that at the beginning of this century, there was a very good short defensive midfielder.

The same French nationality, the same black, the same 168cm, his name is Claude Makelele.

The defensive midfielder who was recognized as the best defensive midfielder in the world because he left Real Madrid once played against Sun Wu once, and then retired soon.

Although Sun Wu knows that Kanter will become the next Makelele, Pochettino will not believe that it is too difficult for a midfielder like Makelele to appear, not to mention that Kanter and him are not completely in the same style.

Now, Pochettino is determined to recruit the old player Schneiderlin. Even Fletcher is hard to say whether he can play in the game. The purchase of Kanter is likely to be placed in the reserve team, although the Ligue [-] players may not be willing to go to Manchester United for the reserve team The team waited for the opportunity, but Sun Wu's intuition told him that Kante was likely to refuse.

Or is it better to buy and rent out?

After sitting there and thinking for a while, Sun Wu turned his attention to tomorrow's game.

Among the Bundesliga teams, apart from Wolfsburg, Schalke 04, old rivals Bayern Munich, Ruhr rival Dortmund, Sun Wu is most familiar with Bayer Leverkusen. He won the championship in the second half of the two seasons, but it was a pity that Sun Wu messed up both.

However, most of the people Sun Wu was familiar with have already left.

Vidal left the Bundesliga in the same year as Sun Wu, and moved to Juventus in the same time and space as that time and space, but Juventus does not have Pogba now.

"Little Bird" Adler failed to escape the nightmare in the end. After losing his main position, he went to Hamburg. He didn't have a chance to play for three consecutive years. The German media compared him with Rensing. He was compared with Neuer back then. Has been silent.

There are also Hypia, Barnetta, and Ballack, who either leave or retire. After Hypia retired, he was the head coach of Leverkusen.

Sun Wu carefully figured out the game highlights of Leverkusen this season. The pharmaceutical factory still has a bit of background. Later, Emre Can, who once won the main position in Liverpool, performed very eye-catchingly, and Lars Bender, Rolle Firth has maintained a good state, and Kisling and Sun Xingmin on the forward line cooperate with each other tacitly.

However, Leverkusen is relatively mediocre, both offensively and defensively. To put it nicely, it is a balance of offense and defense.

The only thing to pay attention to is Sun Xingmin, who was transferred for a club transfer record of 1000 million euros. The speed of this Korean player is likely to cause trouble for Manchester United.

And Sun Xingmin has been in good form recently. Three days ago, he used a hat-trick and two assists to slaughter the former owner Hamburg. Westermann, the former captain of Schalke 04, was tortured by him.
