Chapter 667 Winter Transfer Period

The 4-2 reversal of Cardiff City, although everyone praised the trident of Sun Wu, Griezmann, and Thomas Muller, but in the eyes of industry insiders, there is a prerequisite for their outstanding performance.

That is Schneiderlin, who just joined Manchester United. This defensive midfielder with abundant physical fitness, wide coverage, strong defensive ability and very oppressive is the basis for Manchester United to go all out for a massive counterattack.

2014年1月1号刚过15分钟，曼联官网就宣布施奈德林以1600万英镑的身价转会曼联，这也是欧洲五大联赛转会窗口开启后被官宣的第一笔交易。

After defeating Cardiff City, the Premier League will have a truce for nearly a week. This is the longest rest period for Premier League players in a whole season except for the national team. On the other hand, the winter transfers of various clubs will also start during this period.

"Well, Miki, you are right, you are great, you are the best one..." In the office, Sun Wu, who was sitting on the sofa, praised the triumphant Miguel in a tone that didn't fit his words.

Sitting on the main seat, Pochettino coughed twice, and Sun Wu immediately changed his words, "I was wrong, really wrong...Miki just gave a choice, Mauricio, you are the one who makes the decision, so... "

"Okay, okay!" Pochettino made a speechless stop gesture, "Best, there is no need to do this, it is really unnecessary."

Sun Wuqian shrank back with a smile. After the game yesterday, it was rumored everywhere on the Internet that he had emptied Pochettino... Amin Fei, who hadn’t heard the news for a long time, jumped out and accused Sun Wu of being a Majia Special replicas are the kind of people who want to hold everything in their hands.

Therefore, since the end of the game yesterday, Sun Wu deliberately avoided Pochettino until Miguel took him to the office just now.

"I'm the coach of this team, right?" Pochettino stood up and took a few steps.

"Of course." Sun Wu swallowed, he really didn't want to fall out with Pochettino.

"As you said just now, Miki proposed Schneiderlin, and I will make the decision." Pochettino smiled, "You are also an assistant coach, of course you can make suggestions, whether you want to implement them, of course it is me to decide."

Sun Wu was stunned for a moment before nodding, "Of course it's Mauricio who makes the decision."

"Then why are you hiding from me these two days?" Pochettino snorted and sat back, "We won the game, everything is OK!"

Miguel on the side suddenly interjected, "What if we lose?"

"Miki!"

The three people in the office scolded in unison.

Sun Wu glared at the guy angrily, "If I lose, it is of course my responsibility!"

"If you lose, it is the responsibility of the entire coaching staff!" Jesus shook his head.

Miguel glanced at Pochettino, then at Sun Wu, and muttered, "Who is most responsible?"

Pochettino and Sun Wu stared at the ceiling at the same time. The former felt that it was a mistake to bring this childhood friend to Manchester United, while the latter wondered whether Miguel was really stupid or fake...

"Okay, now the transfer window has opened, and the current work of the coaching staff is mainly focused on transfer matters." Jesús brought the topic back to business, "Miki has a good vision, Best you are also good, Kasemi Ronaldo has already become the main player in Real Madrid, and Kante in Ligue [-] has been highly praised by the scouting system."

"Can I buy it?" Sun Wu's eyes lit up.

"It's not a big problem. The chief scout has already contacted Kanter's agent." Miguel said: "However, the French midfielder is unwilling to go to the reserve team."

"Of course, it's fine to go back to the loan or loan it to other Premier League teams."

"Best, even if it is acquired, it will never be the winter transfer period." Jesus reminded: "What the team lacks now is attacking players, although you, Muller and Griezmann are known as the new trident of Manchester United. , but you know..."

In this regard, Jesús had already communicated with Sun Wu yesterday, and they all said that this is a trident, but it is actually not appropriate. Generally speaking, a trident is often two forwards plus a midfielder, or Phil Mino, Mane, and Salah lined up.

As for the Manchester United trident, the main activity area of ​​​​the three players is in the middle, and only Griezmann has a strong breakthrough ability. Sun Wu and Erwa are relatively weak breakthrough abilities among top players.

"Don't limit yourself to the so-called trident." Pochettino said: "But there is indeed a tacit understanding between you, Griezmann and Mueller. This is something that can be used. The key lies in the position and position of the other two attackers run."

Sun Wu nodded to express his understanding. If Schneiderlin plays as a single midfielder, Sun Wu, Thomas Muller, and Griezmann form an attacking combination, which requires a winger who can pull the side, preferably with good breakthrough ability. In addition, an offensive and defensive midfielder is needed.

The latter has someone in the Manchester United team. Motta and Pogba, who is still recovering from injury, are both competent, and Cleverley can barely play.

But the wingers, Ryan Giggs, Ashley Young...

Pochettino has other ideas. He wants to buy a high center forward and let Griezmann retreat a little to shorten the distance between him and Sun Wu, but Lukaku is his fancy...

"Actually, Klose is not bad." Sun Wu shrugged.

"Although the German has not been injured once in the past six months, after all, he is too old to keep up with his physical fitness. This time, there will be only one start and one substitute in the four games of the Christmas schedule. This is what the medical team ordered." He Su. Si explained: "And because of physical limitations, although Klose's sense of smell in front of the goal is still excellent, his ability to retreat and pull sideways has dropped significantly, and the average running distance per game is difficult to reach the standard."

After hearing this, Sun Wu immediately spread his arms, "So?"

"So, can you contact Lukaku?" Miguel said with a smile: "I know, you and Lukaku have a very good relationship. In fact, you are quite familiar with half of the Belgian national team."

This is true, Kompany, Vermaelen, Vertonghen, Hazard, Mignolet, Miralas, Lukaku, Dembele and other Premier League players are quite familiar with Sun Wu.

De Bruyne rejected Sun Wu last summer and chose to go to Wolfsburg, but the two have kept in touch. Mertens of Naples, the Champions League group match opponent, also has a little personal relationship with Sun Wu.

Sun Wu fell silent and thought about it for a while, "Griezmann can play as a center forward, but he needs to often retreat to the side. In fact, he is a semi-virtual center forward. Everyone knows that Manchester United lacks a center forward in his prime. .

Lukaku may not be willing to come to Manchester United. What's more, even if he returns to Chelsea after his loan, he will have to compete with Cavani and Rooney. "

"Already talked about with Tottenham, Fellaini is about to go to London for medical examination." Miguel immediately replied: "The transfer fee is about 1500 million pounds."

"Lukaku's transfer to Chelsea seems to be more than 1500 million pounds, right?" Sun Wu shook his head, "Try it, I'm not very optimistic."

Sun Wu picked up his mobile phone and sent a text message to Lukaku, then sat on the sofa and listened quietly to the discussion of several other people.

For example, Miguel suggested that the team take Januzaj back in advance. This guy went to Swansea on loan and performed very well. He made 11 starts in the first half of the season, with 3 goals and 4 assists. His fast breakthrough and sharpness are Manchester United. The winger that is missing today.

For example, Jesus suggested the acquisition of full-back Clichy, who has been abandoned by Guardiola, Evra has been injured this season, and Luke Shaw is too young and inexperienced.

Although Sun Wu sneered at all these, he didn't say anything... He never believed that Pochettino didn't have the slightest bit of lumps about what he did in the last game.

Half an hour later, Sun Wu told Pochettino that Lukaku had no objection to coming to Manchester United in principle, but Chelsea needed Manchester United to do work.

The next morning, Manchester United made an offer to Chelsea for Lukaku, £2200 million.

But just half an hour later, Chelsea rejected the offer, and instead recommended to Manchester United the Spanish midfielder Juan Mata they wanted to get rid of, but the price was 3500 million pounds.
