Chapter 881 Risk
The score of 2 to 1 cannot be said to be good or bad.

It's a score that opens up many, many possibilities for the second leg.

Coincidentally, in the other semi-final the next day, Barcelona also defeated Liverpool 2-1 at home at Camp Nou.

Messi contributed two assists, Suarez and Neymar scored one after another, and the power of MSN is frightening.

But then Messi and Neymar wasted opportunities in a row. In the 78th minute of the second half, Di Maria took a free kick and assisted Henderson with a header to score a key away goal.

Because of the next weekend's league match against Arsenal, Manchester United only let Jesus go to the Nou Camp to watch the game, while Sun Wu and Pochettino watched the entire game in the office.

"Neymar is a point that can be used." Sun Wu tentatively asked: "Although he seems willing to help Messi, in fact he wants to be No.1 in his bones."

Pochettino shook his head, "That goal was assisted by Messi, and the other two opportunities were also passed by Messi..."

A combination like MSN is relatively rare in history. All three are very versatile players, but they have a good understanding of each other and are very humble. It is often seen that someone single-handedly leads the goalkeeper and then crosses, and his teammates push the empty goal. .

In this regard, Zidane must be very, very envious.

Sun Wu no longer thinks about these things. How to face such a Barcelona, ​​he already has a plan in his mind, and he has also discussed it with Pochettino, and the two have similar ideas.

After returning home, Sun Wu turned on the computer and checked the data. The current top scorer in the Champions League is Suarez with 13 goals, followed by Ronaldo with 11 goals, followed by Sun Wu and Messi who both scored 9 goals.

On the assist list, Messi leads the way with 9 assists, while Sun Wu currently has only 6.

Sun Wu is generally satisfied with his performance this season. Although he once again abandoned the FA Cup, he scored 13 goals and 16 assists in the league and 9 goals and 6 assists in the Champions League. The total number of goals and assists is exactly 22.

At this time, Fei Sun walked into the study room and tapped on the table with her fingers.

"We have already had a showdown with Woodward. Of course, it was Mike Phelan who stabbed me." Fei Sun said solemnly, "Woodward has called me to question me, and I have not denied it."

"What's his reaction?" Sun Wu raised his head and asked with a smile. It's really hard to say whether San Dezi dared to make such a big bet. He might have to report to the board of directors and the Glazer family.

"I'm surprised, I think it's fantastic." Fei Sun tilted her head and thought for a while, "But I couldn't hear any anger in the words, and I even joked...your salary may continue to break the salary cap."

"Two jobs." Sun Wu chuckled, "By the way, how about the contract renewal negotiations?"

"yours?"

"Me and Griezmann."

"Griezmann's agent has been in touch with me, with a weekly salary of 18.W, and the contract will probably be signed next week." Fei Sun said slowly: "As for you are still in a stalemate, don't you let me delay? "

"Well, just a reminder, as an assistant coach in charge of scouting and inspecting the team's signing targets, I will submit a list of signings in early July." Sun Wu said lightly: "In addition, the salary can be reduced appropriately. After all, two jobs and two salaries.”

"OK." Fei Sun gestured, "Both Paval and Fabinho will transfer in the summer, right?"

"If it were me, I would bring them in."

……

Sun Wu's side is calm, he has done everything he can, and whether he can achieve his goal depends on his luck.

And Woodward is in a mess. Before talking with Mike Phelan this morning, he never thought of choosing Captain Best to serve as the team's head coach, although he is now an assistant coach.

"David, it's unimaginable, isn't it?" Woodward said loudly, holding his mobile phone: "I suspect Best was thinking about this at this time two years ago, and now he..."

David Gill, who was elected vice-president of FIFA two months ago, also scratched his head a little bit about this matter. During his tenure as Manchester United CEO, he never encountered a similar situation... Of course, that was the Ferguson era.

"Ed, Alex and the board..."

"I haven't asked Alex yet, the board of directors... No, no, this matter doesn't need to go through the board of directors, you know..." Woodward sighed, "The key is whether to accept it or not."

David Gill was silent, and both of them knew that accepting means risk, and not accepting means that Best is likely to enter the transfer market.

After hanging up the phone, Woodward walked out of the private room and came to the conference room. He glanced at Mike Phelan unhappily. This guy must have known about it a long time ago, but he only revealed it at this time. Don't think about it, he must be supporting Best. .

"First of all, you need to make sure that the dismissal or hiring of the head coach does not need to go through the board of directors... I mean the board of directors of the football club." Woodward looked at the financial director Batty.

Batty nodded in agreement.

Both Batty and Woodward are highly trusted by the Glazer family. In fact, the family leader Malcolm Glazer passed away at the end of last year. At present, the Glazer family is focusing on the real estate industry, and Manchester United has given full power to CEO Woodward. Ward.

Manchester United has two boards of directors, one of which is the board of directors of a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, which is managed by Woodward, and the other is the club's board of directors. In addition to executives and members of the Glazer family, there are also Sir Charlton, Ambassador directors like Ferguson, David Gill.

It is within the authority of CEO Woodward to confirm the next head coach, but he is not good at football, so he has to consult the ambassador directors around him, as well as Mike Phelan, Ryan Giggs, etc. the patriarch.

"From a tactical point of view, Best has this ability." Giggs first said as the team's veteran and assistant coach: "No one can deny this, the key is his ability to lead the team."

"He is a leader." Mike Phelan said with a smile: "Listen to what the fans outside are calling him...the king, Liverpool has a king, the real king, Old Trafford should also have one."

The hidden meaning of this sentence is that Liverpool King Dalglish once served as the captain and head coach and achieved very impressive results. So why can't Manchester United do it?

Commercial Director Jamie Regal said with great interest: "Best is here to lead the team... This is a great selling point, Ward, I am full of inspiration now!"

Regel doesn't care about the record, he has already begun to outline in his mind how to build a plan for the king Best in the future...

At this time, the mobile phone in front of Batty rang, and he picked it up, glanced at it and said with a wry smile: "Best's agent, Ao Dai...she said that Best will submit a signing list in early July."

Mike Phelan and Giggs exchanged glances. There is no doubt that this must be Best's idea. This guy has a vicious vision in signings.

After Pochettino left on June 6, Best, the assistant coach, will definitely take over the club's signings. Even Woodward will not have no valid reason to stop it.

If you think about it with your ass, you know that this summer transfer period is over. Except for De Gea, most of the main players are friends or direct descendants of Best. Which famous coach will come to Manchester United to find trouble after eating too much?
What's more, when Pochettino leaves, Best's reputation is in the industry...

After the meeting, Woodward sighed and rubbed his temples. This is a difficult decision for him to make. The risk is too great. If he fails, Best can pat his ass and continue to play for another club, and he... …
