Chapter 639 Just Not Getting Hurt

Carrington Training Base.

Sun Wu dexterously avoided Motta's grab, and used a similar juggling action to send the ball to Thomas Muller who advanced forward, and then he lapped at high speed to receive Erwa's point.

"Beautiful!" Hoeness from the sidelines praised in a low voice. Sun Wu's running positions are very active, often aiming at the opponent's empty running positions.

The opponent's left back Luke Shaw has been taken away by Erwa, Sun Wu calmly stopped the ball and swung his right foot to send a precise cross. Hernandez in the middle gave a header between the two center backs break down.

"How?" Miguel turned to look at Pochettino.

"It's very good at grabbing points, and the ability to respond is also good." Mike Phelan looked like a salesman, "And he is very explosive. It is actually very suitable for a team that plays pass control like Arsenal."

Pochettino didn't say a word, and continued to watch the confrontation training.

Hernandez has not played in several games. Pochettino would rather use Griezmann as a striker, or even use him without a striker. This makes Xiaopea very frustrated.

In Pochettino's tactical system, the position of the center must either be able to hold the ball and occupy a position, can become a fulcrum, or has a wide range of running, has a strong ability to pass and control, and is excellent in passing and shooting. Hernandez doesn't quite fit either.

But the problem is that there is really a lack of forwards in the Manchester United team. Welbeck entered the reserve team training two weeks ago but soon sprained his ankle. Klose played more than 120 minutes in two games for the national team. Ziman... This is currently the only player in the team with a strong breakthrough ability. Pochettino prefers him to help the team with breakthroughs rather than shots.

From this point of view, Hernandez is almost the only center forward who can start against Arsenal tomorrow... In fact, Pochettino is thinking in his heart whether Santoku can buy Lukaku. It is said that Chelsea The buyer Mourinho can make a decision, but the seller bypasses the Portuguese...

Pochettino was thinking about it, something happened on the field.

Cleverly collided with Hernandez in a high ball scramble. The former fell down without saying a word, while the latter screamed and hugged his calf...

Five minutes later, the team doctor told Pochettino helplessly that Cleverley might have a concussion and needs to go to the hospital for a diagnosis. To be on the safe side, it is best not to start tomorrow's game.

And Hernandez sprained his ankle... Try ice tomorrow, but recovery is unlikely.

Sun Wu and Pochettino looked at each other, complaining in their hearts... Both of them are on the starting list.

"Giggs?" Pochettino didn't go back to the office, and directly pulled a few members of the coaching staff to discuss on the sidelines.

"Giggs is more suitable for the positional prerequisite." Sun Wu shook his head and glanced at Giggs beside him. "If the Mexican can't start, Griezmann will go to the center position, and Giggs will ambush behind the Frenchman."

"What about the midfielder?" Miguel sighed, "Carrick hasn't come back yet, so we can't let Best play the midfielder, right?"

"Of course not! Pochettino pointed to Phil Jones not far away," Ferdinand started and let Jones play as a midfielder. "

Sun Wu hesitated, "Sir, in the last game against Barcelona, ​​Phil Jones also played as a midfielder, but the midfielders in these two games are completely different..."

Pochettino turned his head and looked at Sun Wu, "I know, so, Best, this is your task."

Sun Wu is also speechless, what can he do with just one night?
After a brief discussion, Pochettino announced his starting line-up for the second day.

Goalkeeper De Gea, defenders Coleman, Ferdinand, Smalling, Evra, midfielders Phil Jones, Thiago Motta, Sun Wu, forwards Griezmann, Giggs, Thomas Muller.

After disbanding, Sun Wu took Phil Jones to dinner, preparing to give this guy a tactical lesson in the evening.

"Best, you know, I'm going back to Lancashire tonight."

"I've already called your father, you're staying at my house tonight." Sun Wu casually gnawed on the steak, "By the way, Phil, you really came to Manchester United because it's closer to home?"

Phil Jones still trains every day and returns to his home in Lancashire after the game. He still lives with his parents.

Tsk tsk, it is said that choosing Manchester United over Arsenal and Liverpool is because Manchester is closer to my home... This reason sounds familiar.

Sun Wu remembered that when he was in Blackburn, he gave a few comics to his friends, and it seemed that there was "Slam Dunk" in it!

The two of them finished dinner and were about to return to the office when a familiar voice suddenly came from the TV on the opposite wall.

"Drawing Chelsea, beating Manchester City and Liverpool, and winning Barcelona, ​​doesn't that prove Manchester United's recovery?" Paul Scholes blushed, "We must lose a few games at the beginning of the season, and then we will have a winning streak. Can it be considered a recovery?"

The famous Arsenal star Ian Wright on the opposite guest table had a flat mouth, and his face was not very good-looking. The one who lost a few games at the beginning of the season and then won consecutively... was Arsenal.

"Hahaha..." Another Manchester United star Gary Neville laughed and said: "Paul, Arsenal will recover. After all, they will not be able to participate in the Champions League this season. Next season... Oh, sorry, now Arsenal Nacai is ranked 7th in the league, so it’s hard to say that next season will still play in the Europa League..."

These words were harsh enough, and Adams on the side was so angry that he slapped the table...

The host had no choice but to appease both parties again and again, and it took a while for the scene to quiet down.

"To be honest, Manchester United conceded goals in almost every game. This is a fact." Ian Wright is a famous football commentator after retiring. He is famous for his ability to analyze and judge tactics.

"Although Ferdinand is back, it is still unknown whether he can adapt to Pochettino's tactics. More importantly, although Manchester United kept conceding goals before, they also kept winning. So far, they have only lost one game. Because of their powerful attack power."

"The defense is a bit weak, so I use offense to make up for it." Gary Neville shrugged, but Scholes on the side became quiet, and he guessed what the other party wanted to say.

"But although Manchester United keeps conceding goals, Pochettino has added manpower in defense." Ian Wright said with a smile: "Phil Jones and Alderweireld have both made guest appearances. The defensive midfielders are hardly helpful to the offense, and Motta and Cleverly, the main defensive midfielder partner, have a very limited number of times to participate in the attack.”

"This directly leads to the shortage of Manchester United's attacking personnel in the frontcourt... Although Manchester United keeps scoring goals, it is largely due to the tacit understanding, personal ability and excellent performance of Best, Griezmann and Thomas Muller. state."

"Paul, can you guarantee that they will continue in their current state? Can you guarantee that they will not be injured?"

"Once the frontcourt attack is blocked and there is a loophole in the back line, Manchester United is likely to be defeated." Ian Wright shook his finger and said: "So, in this game, Arsenal actually have a chance. Of course, Wenger needs to get his feet on the ground first."

"Snapped!"

Sun Wu turned off the TV, shrugged and said, "Phil, what do you think?"

"Sounds reasonable." Phil Jones thought for a while, and followed Sun Wu to the office. "Even if you are lucky and don't get injured, you can't always maintain a good state."

Sun Wu touched his nose. This is a major weakness of Manchester United. The reserve force in the midfield is seriously insufficient. Most of the rest of the main lineup are old, weak, sick and disabled. Healthy, most professional players are able to maintain their condition.

Mr. Ian Wright, sorry, we can really stay unhurt!

but……

"That's not what I asked!" Sun Wu stopped, "The gunman said that Manchester United's defense is weak, what do you think?"

Seeing his friend's face slowly turn red, Sun Wu nodded in satisfaction, "In this game, Phil, you will be the protagonist!"
