Chapter 669
After a short break, the Premier League rekindled the battle. The first to start was the Manchester City duo. In the Carabao Cup semi-finals, Manchester City played against West Ham United at home, and Manchester United challenged Sunderland away.

For the trophy of the League Cup, the top four giants are not very interested. It is only because the finals will be played before March, and they have not yet entered the sprint stage of various competitions, so some giants will take this trophy as an appetizer.

On the contrary, although the weight of the FA Cup is slightly heavier, the Premier League teams will only participate in the fourth round in mid-January, which will greatly affect the giants' preparations for the Champions League, and will be abandoned instead...

Since 2008, every FA Cup final has been a match between a giant and a middle-lower team. There has never been a confrontation between giants... This is the origin of the title of "insulated cup". Other giants don't pay attention to it. Arsenal value it, but they can only value the FA Cup.

At the Stadium of Light, the black cat Sunderland played all the main players in this game, and Pochettino used a group of old people to bring a group of children...

Giggs, Ferdinand, Evra, Klose and Carrick started the game, and the Keane Brothers, Lingard, Blackett and others were drawn from the reserve team and the U18 youth team.

Another thing worth paying attention to is that Jia Baoyu, who is on loan at Swansea... No, Januzaj returned early and started the game. Pochettino has high hopes for him. The number of successful breakthroughs of this Belgian winger in the first half of the season ranks first in the Premier League fifth.

Sun Wu did not enter the squad for this game, but he went to Sunderland as an assistant coach. He was a bit bored sitting on the coaching bench. Pochettino had already made a decision in the previous tactical seminar. Don't argue, focus on the league and the Champions League. You must know that Manchester United today does not have the depth of the bench for third-tier and fourth-tier battles.

Especially in the League Cup, the semi-finals are still two rounds, the second round is sandwiched between two league games, and the final is sandwiched between two Champions League knockout games.

The intensity of the Premier League schedule is outrageous. If both the League Cup and the FA Cup reach the finals, Manchester United will have to maintain a week of double matches until mid-April. It will be fatal!
The bored Sun Wu glanced at his phone and smiled disdainfully. In another Carabao Cup semi-final yesterday, Manchester City swept West Ham United 6-0. Just now Aguero sent a message to provoke Sun Wu, claiming to take revenge Revenge... This guy still remembers the revenge of being caught.

Uh, this is one of the reasons why Sun Wu strongly agrees with Pochettino to give up the League Cup. It's not that he is afraid of Aguero. Once he reaches the final, it will be the Manchester Derby. Losing the game will have a great impact on the team's morale.

However, despite having a group of substitutes and children, Manchester United still took the lead. It was the Red Devil Jia Baoyu who opened the scoring. The little guy took the ball from the right and drew a curved ball. Enter the gate.

"Look, how wonderful!" Miguel waved his arms excitedly, and Januzaj was the one he strongly suggested recalling in advance.

Sun Woo yawns and doesn't bother to address Miguel, does Januzaj have talent?Of course he is talented, fast, explosive, and good at dribbling. Otherwise, he was recruited by Manchester United at the age of 16 before entering the Anderlecht first team, and Ferguson personally persuaded him.

But Sun Wu is not optimistic about this Jia Baoyu, not because of the rapid fall in time and space, but because of the Belgian's professional attitude. train.

"Oh, look!" The commentator laughed, "Manchester United's bench...no, it's the coach's bench, what is Best doing!"

Boos suddenly sounded from the stands behind the coach's bench. Jesús looked back and nudged Sun Wu helplessly, "Best, don't sleep!"

"Uh..." Sun Wu laughed a few times and opened his eyes, forcing an explanation: "No, no, I didn't fall asleep, I just closed my eyes and thought about something!"

Pochettino twitched the corner of his mouth in another position, and Mike Phelan covered his face with his hands and let out a long sigh. Valencia, Phil Jones, and Cleverley on the bench were all snickering...

"What are you thinking about?" Jesus licked his lips and forced to start the topic, he was really afraid that the person next to him would snore later...

"Think... Harry Kane, Levi really hates me so much!?" Sun Wu became furious when he thought of this, and the little sleepiness disappeared immediately, "I would rather sell it to Leicester City than sell it to Levi." Manchester United!"

There are no conditions attached to Fellaini's transfer, but when the transaction was completed, Miguel asked Harry Kane by the way, and the news he got was that Kane, whose contract expired tomorrow summer, was preparing to transfer to the British Championship. Leicester City.

Sun Wu strongly suggested that the club buy Harry Kane. In the end, Manchester United made an offer of 150 million pounds. This price is not bad for a striker who has not played in the Premier League.

However, there was no reaction from Tottenham. The next day, it was officially announced that Harry Kane had switched to Fox City for £120 million... Sun Wu was so angry that he scolded Levi. Two frames.

Poor Harry Kane, in that time and space, although he experienced ups and downs before the age of 22, it was smooth sailing later, but he was exiled during Guardiola's two years in charge of Tottenham, and then Negredo's outstanding performance His performance made him go away helplessly... Of course, this is also due to his own failure to score a goal in four league games last August.

"It's a good thing." Jesús smiled, "The signing has just been completed. In yesterday's game, Kane strained his thigh."

"Best, what do you fancy in him?" Miguel asked puzzled: "In the first half of the season, he only scored 3 goals, not as good as Leicester City's No. 9, who is very fast. The striker, who moved to Leicester a few years ago for a non-league transfer record."

"Jamie Vardy." Sun Wu muttered, "It's a pity that he doesn't adapt to Manchester United's tactical system."

"You really know!" Jesus looked at Sun Wu in surprise, "How much homework did you do in private?"

Can you not know... Later, the legendary striker of Fox City Miracle, even in the few seasons after winning the championship, can contribute 20+ goals every season, which is not a flash in the pan.

But Vardy's playing style is difficult to integrate into Manchester United's current tactical system, otherwise Sun Wu would have started it long ago, but it was Mahrez... Sun Wu turned on his phone and checked it, tsk tsk, do you want to turn around and use pinyin? Write down important events and important people!

Mahrez just completed the transfer yesterday and transferred to Leicester City for only 50 pounds.

Looking at Sun Wu who was slapping his thigh and even trying to slap himself, Miguel and Jesús were at a loss.

Sun Wu remembered this Algerian two years ago, because Guardiola was very interested in Mahrez in that time and space, but he was still in the B team of the French second league at that time.

After coming to Manchester United, Sun Wu was much busier than the previous two years. He was so busy that he forgot about Mahrez!
This kind of mistake must never be made again in the future, Sun Wu gritted his teeth and muttered in his heart, and then used pinyin to record those people in a small notebook, such as Asensio, Lemar, Mendy, Sidibe, Gnabry, Dembele, Mbappe, Lucas, Pavard...

Just when Sun Wu was remorseful, the situation on the court changed. Sunderland pressed forward to counterattack, and Michael Keane and Ferdinand were under great pressure.

Italian midfielder Giaccellini equalized with a long-range shot, Ryan Giggs scored an own goal unluckily, and South Korean midfielder Ki Sung-yong sealed the victory with a header.

In the first round of the League Cup semi-final, Sunderland defeated Manchester United 3-1 at home and entered the final with one foot.

　In all fairness, Kane’s start at Tottenham was not good, and his contract did expire in the summer of 2014, but in reality, in the 13-14 season, he gained a foothold in Tottenham and scored 10 goals to get a contract. New contract, second season kicks off.
