Chapter 778

There was half an hour to go, but the stands at Old Trafford were packed, with United enjoying a difficult but impeccable winning streak after being humiliated by being knocked out of the Carabao Cup.

"Marcus!" Sun Wu yelled after waving his feet at Rashford.

"boom!"

Rashford, who lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, just turned his head when the flying ball hit him in the face...

"Concentrate!" Phil Jones supported Rashford and complained to Sun Wu, "Best, do you want to ruin his first start!?"

Sun Wu approached with a smile, "No, I want to tell him that he should straighten his spine and hold his head high!"

"For the first time, he was a little nervous..."

"This is the problem." Sun Wu spread his hands, "It was the first time I played and started for the first time, so I'm not nervous!"

Phil Jones sneered, "Really? I heard that your calf was shaking...and your first start...tsk tsk, it's really unforgettable, no wonder you insist on Manchester City!"

"Phil, you need to distinguish the difference between excitement and nervousness, well, you should warm up now!" Sun Wu glared hard at his friends, turned around and walked away with his arms around Rashford who had been silent.

"Marcus, are you still nervous?"

"A little bit." Rashford tried to straighten up.

"OK, this is the best state." Sun Wu clapped his hands with a smile, "But, Marcus, do you know what starting means?"

Rashford blinked in confusion.

"Generally speaking, for young players who have just been promoted from the youth academy to the first team, the coaching staff will be very cautious in using them. First, they will play in stoppage time to feel the atmosphere, and then give them a few minutes to try, and the time will go up little by little. add……"

Rashford nodded immediately. Players from the youth academy all followed this path, such as Evans and Fletcher back then.

"But that's the routine for ordinary players. For geniuses, the coaching staff often gives them a perfect appearance and builds a sparkling stage for them!"

Sun Wu emphasized his tone, "Lukaku is injured, Klose is in poor condition, Griezmann is on the bench...and you are the starter!"

"Marcus, the stage has been set for you, now it's up to you!"

18-year-old Marcus Rashford's eyes are full of longing.

"There is a big difference in strength between the two sides in this game. Maribor from Slovenia lost the first two group matches with big scores, while Manchester United won two games with big scores."

"Judging from the starting lineup, Pochettino has reservations..."

"After all, we have to play Chelsea on the weekend." Zhang Lu took over the words, "Lukaku is injured, Griezmann and Klose are both on the bench, and Rashford is starting for the first time in the Champions League. Manchester United's young players promoted from the reserve team this season, another red kid Januzaj also started, and there is another position for Manchester City's old player Milner."

"Sun Wu's partner is also Red Kid Lingard." Zhan Jun praised: "Although Evans, Michael Keane, and Pogba have left one after another, the new generation of Red Kid has already made up."

"Other than that, Manchester United's starting line-up..."

"Wait, look at this ball!"

"Frontcourt steal...Sun Wu shoots from a distance!"

"Goal! From Marcus Rashford on his debut!"

"Only 37 seconds into the game, Manchester United took the lead! This is the fastest goal of the season!"

No kidding, Sun Wuzai carefully looked at Maribor's roster on the opposite side, and he didn't know anyone... It's hard to imagine that the Champions League team doesn't even know anyone!
So, Sun Wu encouraged everyone to have a massacre in the locker room!

Therefore, after the opening, Manchester United immediately pressed from a high position. The Maribor players obviously did not expect it. The cross pass was intercepted by Lingard. !

After long-term training and sharpening, Sun Wu's long-range shots have undergone more changes. The timing and footwork of long-range shots are better than those in the Bundesliga. The ball quickly fell after flying into the penalty area and bounced in the small penalty area...

The goalkeeper, who was about to confiscate the ball, was caught off guard. The ball hit his chest and rebounded. Rashford, who was sprinting at a high speed and had not had time to slow down, took advantage of the opportunity and scored.

"Another red kid, Manchester United's youth academy can always provide enough support for the first team!" Mortensen roared in the commentary booth, "Without Lukaku, without Griezmann, without Thomas Müller, now they have Marcus Rashford!"

Seeing Rashford rushing to the sidelines excitedly, Mortensen felt a little emotional. He has seen countless young players who started for the first time here, some became superstars, some struggled to support, and some fell quickly... …

"Anyway, it was a fantastic debut, good luck."

After the celebration, Sun Wu put his arms around Rashford, "Look! It's so simple, let's make another one!"

Although the Maribor players next to them could hear clearly, they all looked depressed and no one refuted them.

Maribor's strength is too weak, the offensive routine is simple, and there are no outstanding players. Both tactics and personal abilities are tightly suppressed. Under Manchester United's high position, Maribor's offensive half Can't make it through.

In the 15th minute, Sun Wu used a classic No Look Pass in the frontcourt to send the ball obliquely. The bold Januzaj of Yigao took the ball into the penalty area and shot with a left-footed arc on the right side.

"Januzaj... oh, the post!"

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

"2 to 0, Lingard scored with a supplementary shot!"

"The two red devils teamed up to create the second goal!"

The Manchester United fans in the stands were shouting excitedly, and Ferguson and Santoko, who were watching the game, were applauding.

You must know that the Red Devils and Manchester United have never bought stars with large sums of money. The youth training camp can basically provide players to the first team every few years. Si, Pogba, and Welbeck have all successfully gained a foothold in the first team.

Many Manchester United fans in the stands are looking forward to the second golden generation. Look, Rashford, Lingard, and Januzaj are all so good.

Everyone else was celebrating, but Sun Wu pulled Januzaj back, "Adnan, you can actually make easier choices."

Januzaj's face changed, his lips moved but he didn't speak. In fact, he could speed up the ball and send a cross pass just now. The Maribor defender couldn't stop him at all...

Sun Wu smiled and nodded, "Run a little more, don't necessarily have to hug the wing or ribs, I will pass the ball."

Looking at the back of Sun Wu running away, Januzaj was in a very complicated mood. He once thought that he would be sold before September 9st.

The reason is simple. When Pogba and Sun Wu competed, Januzaj was the only one who publicly sided with Pogba.

But Januzaj stayed and had frequent opportunities to play. Now Manchester United's breakthrough player is Mane. Griezmann will also make a guest appearance when Thomas Muller plays, but their first substitute is Januzaj, his ranking is ahead of Rashford and Welbeck.

Sun Wu turned his head and smiled at Januzaj...a successful ball bully needs to use gentle tactics occasionally.
