Chapter 872 Lingard

4 month 19 number.

Stanford Stadium.

There was a mess of boos in the stands, which were given to the Chelsea players on the field, and also to the interim head coach Hiddink who was blamed, and even to the club owner Abramovich.

The fans are complaining about the magic bird.

Mourinho claims to have been betrayed after leaving office... well, this is the second time he has been betrayed here.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKOOOOOOAL!"

"Manchester United once again widened the score gap, 3 to 1, 3 to 1, Guardiola must be very disappointed!"

Mortensen shouted: "Pochettino has an enviable hand, Schneiderlin, Fletcher, Herrera are all suspended, but he still has Lingard!"

Lingard, who was dancing awkwardly in front of the camera, was smiling all over his face. Before the first half was over, he had already scored twice.

But in fact, Pochettino can only choose Lingard in this game, and there is no one available on the bench.

Sun Wu and Pochettino have the same understanding of this game. It is difficult to defend. Although Hazard is injured, Cavani is in good form this season. Currently, the Uruguayan striker has scored 18 league goals. Beating Griezmann to rank second in the scorer list.

Therefore, offense is the main theme of this game.

In the 18th minute of the first half, Manchester United opened the door to victory. Sun Wu tried to pass through Lukaku and was destroyed, but the ball appeared in the penalty area on the other side, and Lingard, who had no time to slow down, volleyed from the back row. break down.

In the 22nd minute, Sun Wu and Lukaku had two consecutive shots from the penalty area line and were blocked. Griezmann sent a pick pass, and the right back Valencia appeared in the small penalty area and went straight to the far corner from a small angle.

In the 35th minute, Matic made a steal in the frontcourt, Fabregas sent a precise pass, and Cavani volleyed back to get back a goal.

But in the 42nd minute, Sun Wu's ingenious movement pulled Matic away. Lingard drove straight in from the middle in the counterattack, and after hitting the wall with Lukaku, he shot diagonally from the right side of the penalty area.

Sun Wu turned his head and gave Pochettino a thumbs up. He had to admit that the coach's use of Lingard was very reasonable and very suitable for Lingard's technical characteristics.

Lingard does not have as much defensive coverage as Fletcher, the timing of the back row is not accurate enough, and his organizational skills in connecting the front and rear are also lacking, but he also has his own advantages.

Very, very active interspersed running between the midfield and the frontcourt. Lingard is running almost all the time. Although the choice of running route may not be reasonable, as long as he runs, Chelsea players have to pay attention to him.

In a word, Lingard is a typical hard-working player, just like Park Ji-sung a few years ago, a mature team always needs this kind of blue-collar player who spares no effort.

In the second half, Pochettino did not make adjustments to the midfield, but replaced Lukaku with Rashford, and successively let Shaqiri and Januzaj come off the bench.

In the 68th minute, Cahill missed the goal from a corner kick and narrowed the score again.

But in 70 minutes, Manchester United sealed the victory with a counterattack.

Lingard was watched by Matic, but Januzaj successfully countered the pass, Shaqiri broke through from the right to make a cross, and Sun Wu curled the ball with his right foot from outside the penalty area into the far corner.

Chelsea is really miserable. Hiddink has made a lot of changes in tactics, but the record is still not improving. Arsenal and Tottenham have already caught up. This season's four-game battle will be extremely fierce.

4 to 2, Manchester United easily defeated Chelsea and continued to lead the standings with a 6-point advantage. Because Manchester City's round of the game was postponed again, Guardiola met Klopp in the FA Cup semi-finals.

In the afternoon, in the FA Cup semi-final, Arsenal defeated Reading 1-0 and entered the final first.

On April 4th, Manchester City and Liverpool were still 20-120 after 0 minutes of the game. In the final penalty shootout, Fernandinho and Aguero missed penalties successively. Liverpool and Arsenal will join forces in the final.

On April 4, the Manchester United team flew to Monaco to prepare for the second round of the Champions League quarter-elimination match.

The 7-0 score has guaranteed promotion, but Pochettino still brought most of the main players.

That night, good news came from Fei Sun. She had successfully signed Fabinho, which meant that Manchester United had a high chance of taking this outstanding midfielder into their arms in the summer.

On April 4, the other two Champions League games took the lead.

Barcelona's unsuspecting double-kill Chelsea advanced to the semi-finals, and the Blues almost collapsed, especially in the backcourt... In Sun Wu's words, except for Azpilicueta, all other defenders should be purged.

Another game surprised Sun Wu. Although Diego Costa scored the first goal to equalize the away goal, Coutinho, who returned from injury, equalized the total score in the 89th place in the second half. In the minute, Di Maria made a ground pass from the side, and Lallana scored from a far point with a shovel shot from a zero angle.

Liverpool eliminated defending champions Atletico Madrid 3-2 on aggregate.

Manchester City led by Guardiola is gradually taking shape, and Klopp is not to be outdone. Although Salah and Mane are gone, the combination of Di Maria, Gotze and Shinji Kagawa is not much weaker.

"It would be great if we played Liverpool in the semifinals." Lingard, Sun Wu's roommate on this away trip, said suddenly: "I am relatively familiar with it, and my strength is relatively weak."

Sun Wu shook his head, "I don't think so."

"Is it better to play Bayern and Barcelona?"

"There may be too many accidents in the Double Red Club." Sun Wu explained in detail: "Even if you can advance, but it is uncertain who may get a red card. I don't want to see Griezmann or Schneider in the final. Durrin."

"It doesn't matter if I don't?"

"You're the one who talks too much!" Sun Wuxu kicked his feet over, "Go to bed early, you will be the starter tomorrow."

In the second day's game, although Sun Wu opened the scoring first, Lingard once again stole the limelight.

In the 20th minute, Lingard staggered and fell in the penalty area. Although the referee did not award a penalty kick, Sun Wu, who had quick eyes and quick feet, stretched out his foot first and poked the ball into the goal with his toe.

In the 42nd minute, Klose took the ball with his back in the frontcourt and passed it back. Sun Wu sent a pick pass. Lingard, who inserted in the back row, headed the ball away before Subasic, and then easily sent it into the empty goal.

In the 51st minute, Lingard faced Toulalang's defense outside the penalty area, swayed the angle like a super winger, and pulled out a world wave arc ball with his right foot to score.

Sun Wu, who was already sitting on the bench, praised Lingard. Lingard is also quite amazing. He is obviously a blue-collar worker, but he can always score in the world wave.

"He is a very useful supplement to the midfielder and can bring about tactical changes." Mike Phelan whispered to Sun Wu, he was really afraid that Sun Wu would drive away the group of red little devils one by one.

"It's a bit like Kaka, but it's a weakened version...well, it's the one without the ball." Sun Wu nodded in agreement, "The interspersed movement is very active, and his direct threat to the goal is stronger than Herrera."

"Well, the organizational ability is a bit weak."

"And the frontal defense ability is not strong. After all, he used to play the 10th position in the youth team." Sun Wushun opened the notebook on Mike Phelan's lap and drew a sketch. "Next season, he can also play as a right winger. What do you think?"

"Like Thomas?"

"Well, they have similarities in running positions, and Lingard has a certain speed."

Pochettino, who was sitting on the other side of the coaching bench, glanced at this side. Now the coaching staff already knows everything they should know. It seems that Mike Phelan is a supporter of Sun Wu, and they have already started looking for Thomas Muller's successor. the ones.
