Chapter 661 Pochettino's Promise

April 12, Carrington Base.

Sitting in the most conspicuous position, Sun Wu laughed and leaned forward and looked at the embarrassing Spanish goalkeeper not far away, "Hey, hey, David is blushing!"

Mike Phelan pushed Sun Wu's head back while laughing, "Best, David is still a child..."

De Gea sent resentful eyes from between his fingers, staring at the teammate who was still holding his stomach and laughing wildly.

In fact, it wasn't just Sun Wu who was laughing, basically everyone was laughing...except De Gea himself.

Of course, the little guy who was performing on the stage didn’t smile either. This U18 young goalkeeper is a famous performer in Manchester United’s youth training camp. He secretly grabbed something from the shelf, turned around and left, looked around and stuffed it into his mouth without anyone noticing...

This can be regarded as a repertoire of Manchester United's Christmas party. The young players in the youth training camp performed pantomime with a team of big brothers as a template, usually mainly based on ridicule...

Last year, De Gea went to the supermarket with his friends and actually ate donuts. This incident was captured by CCTV in the supermarket and later disclosed by the "Sun". De Gea was ashamed.

But Sun Wu, who was laughing wildly, did not go anywhere well.

In the next program, a tall, thin, black guy walked onto the stage, and just after taking two steps, he suddenly fell to the ground...

After a second of silence in the hall, the maniacal laughter almost toppled the roof. Everyone turned their heads to look at Sun Wu, whose face was already darkened. Even Christine beside him couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing. , and De Gea, who had just been ridiculed, came to the spirit this time, roaring and applauding the little guy on the stage.

Sun Wu touched his ear with one hand, put his arm around Christine who was laughing into his arms, and stared at the guy on the stage with a fake smile. Isn't Master La very boring...

There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with you in the future!

After Rashford stepped down, the performance came to an end, and the people in the hall began to scatter in twos and threes to chat about something. Sun Wu didn’t plan to chat with his friends today. He had already promised that he would only be with Christine today... Uh, In fact, it was the betrayal of his "friends" a few days ago that made him very sad.

"Hi, Best, some soup." Pochettino brought a bowl of soup with a smile, and Mike Phelan behind him added some red wine to Sun Wu and Christine with a decanter.

"Tsk tsk, Mauricio, actually I don't agree with you learning everything from Sir Alex Ferguson." Sun Wu took the soup bowl and hummed.

At the Christmas party, Ferguson ladled everyone's soup and Mike Phelan poured everyone's wine, a tradition that had lasted for more than 20 years.

"What's your opinion?" Mike Phelan frowned.

"Mike, it is undeniable that Manchester United is entering a new era." Sun Wu spread his hands, "Sir Ferguson was almost 50 years old when he entered Manchester United, and Mauricio is not yet 40 years old this year!"

Pochettino sighed, "So?"

"Let me think about it..." Sun Wu tilted his head in silence for a second and then asked, "Christine, what's delicious in Argentina?"

"A lot, I like Argentinian grilled squid!" Christine said with a smile while twirling her fingers around the tip of her hair, "And that time, Di Maria invited us to eat..."

"Oh, yes, Asado BBQ!" Sun Wu clapped his hands vigorously, "Mauricio, let's have an Asado BBQ!"

"Asado barbecue?" Smolin next to him overheard it and immediately came over, "I know, Argentinian food, but I don't like beef, I like to eat offal..."

"Really?" Thomas Müller, "but Argentina... there are no Argentine players in the team..."

"No, but there are Argentine coaches, and there are more than one." Sun Wu raised his legs and looked at Pochettino with a smile.

Pochettino's hands were trembling, and he turned his head to look. Mike Phelan looked innocent, while another Argentine coach, Miguel, disappeared...

"Best, don't make trouble, today is an inappropriate occasion. Asado usually barbecues on the lawn, this is an inappropriate occasion..."

"Then just change the place!"

"The club is not prepared either." Mike Phelan kicked Sun Wu's calf hard.

"Mike, don't kick me!" Sun Wu patted the ashes on his calf carelessly, stood up and whispered in Pochettino's ear, "I can help you...but there is a condition!"

"You say." Pochettino gritted his teeth.

"Who betrayed me in the restaurant that night!" Sun Wu said in a gloomy voice, "Mauricio, don't say you don't know... I heard it clearly that day, and you had the happiest smile!"

"This..." Pochettino looked at the players around him, and finally shook his head, "I don't know too well. When we arrived at the restaurant, everyone was talking about this..."

"Okay." Sun Wu shrugged, turned around and clapped his hands vigorously, "Guys, good news!"

"Best, what are you doing..."

Sun Wu ignored Jesús in the back and said loudly: "Our dear Mr. Mauricio Pochettino promises that at the end of this season, he will give every first team player an Asado barbecue with his own hands. !"

The surroundings were quiet, and well-informed players such as Giggs, Thomas Muller, and Motta looked at Pochettino with incredible eyes. You must know that it is common for the head coach to play and eat with the players, but Cooking for the players...

"Of course, there is a prerequisite!" Sun Wu simply raised his wine glass and stood on a chair, and said loudly: "We want to win the league championship with the highest gold content in the history of the Premier League!"

After a second of silence, whistles, laughter, and echoes resounded throughout the hall.

Sun Wu winked at Pochettino, "Mauricio, you will agree, right?"

Pochettino gave Sun Wu a hard look, turned around and took the wine glass from Jesús, after thinking about it, he simply stood on the chair and raised the glass high, "If I win the championship, I will feed everyone An Asado BBQ I made myself!"

"Now, let's toast!"

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

San Dezi, who was watching this scene from afar, also raised his wine glass with a smile, shook his way to this side, and then drank it down.

Although the final repertoire of the Manchester United Christmas party, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", began on the stage, many people in the audience were still thinking, can Manchester United really win this league championship?
Although Sun Wu has raised this topic publicly in the locker room and even the coaching staff, people including Mike Phelan, Miguel and even Ryan Giggs feel uneasy. On paper, Manchester United is really not strong enough. .

And Pochettino and Sun Wu glanced at a person out of the corners of their eyes, the club CEO Ed Woodward who was still posing with a wine glass.

In the summer transfer window, San Dezi actually didn't get along very well with Pochettino. After spending 7500 million euros to buy Sun Wu, San Dezi, who had just assumed his new position, was unwilling to spend more money.

But half a year has passed. Although he is not proficient in football, San Dezi also consulted enough professional people in the industry before deciding to spend a sum of money to strengthen the lineup in the winter transfer window.

Seeing such an atmosphere within the team, San Dezi also had to be secretly moved. He also knew very well what it would mean for his new CEO if Manchester United won the league championship.
