Chapter 944 Difficult 3 Points

Sun Wu is very aware of Salah's ability. Although it is impossible to reach the level of Ronaldo and Messi, it is no worse than Neymar, Hazard, and Griezmann. In addition, he is only 24 years old this year. This is a worthy bet. The goal.

In the future, the transfer market will go crazy, Sun Wu remembers very clearly, it is probably the beginning of Neymar's transfer to Paris, and various transactions of around 1 million euros began to appear frequently.

Taking this into consideration, Sun Wu has the idea of ​​poaching Salah in advance. Anyway, he doesn't play very well at Chelsea.

But soon, Sun Wu stopped paying attention to Salah. In the last two rounds of the European Cup qualifiers that just ended, the Dutch team unfortunately failed to reach the finals, and Van Dijk was injured.

Van Dijk injured his knee in a frontal collision. After a hospital diagnosis, it is estimated that he will be absent for about a month.

It is not just Van Dijk who is injured, but also right back Coleman, who may miss six weeks due to a shoulder injury.

Damn the national team competition... Sun Wu has been unable to complain, not only two people were injured in the back line, but also after a comprehensive medical examination, Dr. Swell submitted a list of players who he suggested need to rest for about a week.

The list has Phil Jones, Fletcher, Griezmann, Falcao, Mane...

Almost half of Manchester United's main lineup!
The terrible thing is that there will still be double matches a week, but the frequency of the Club World Cup will decrease in the few days, but this is not a good thing for Manchester United, because the rescheduled league will be held early next year. Under great pressure.

……

In recent years, there have been many sharp striker partners in the Premier League, but it is worth noting that the partners of the giants are all tridents, such as Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool.

The striker partners of ordinary teams are often a combination of two people, such as Newcastle United's Demba Ba and Cisse, Swansea's Michu and Bernie a few years ago, and Leicester City's Vardy and Harry last season. Kane.

This season, the Premier League has emerged a pair of outstanding striker duo, Deeney and Iloha of Watford.

The former is the leader of the Hornets. This tough forward who fights for every ball is always full of fighting spirit. He is the most "fierce" among the Premier League centers today.

Because four years ago, Deeney was arrested and imprisoned for fighting in Birmingham and served 9 months in prison.

The video of that fight can still be found on the Internet. Dini is like a professional boxer, killing four opponents with one left punch and one right punch.

And Iloha is even more funny. He only scored 2 goals last season, and Watford was about to clean him up, just as the Chinese Super League club sent a high offer.

As a result, in August, Iloha scored goals in four league games, so he rejected the offer from the Chinese Super League... In fact, in two years, he will obediently go to the Chinese Super League to seek gold.

"Watford is at it again!" Mortensen roared: "Hahaha, Dini did it on purpose, he's bullying Michael Keane again!"

Deeney leaped high to overtake Michael Keane and flicked the ball to his partner, before Iloha adjusted slightly and shot from the penalty area line.

Although the strength is not great, but the angle is quite tricky, and De Gea can barely block the ball out of the bottom line with his special skill of shadowless legs.

Mike Phelan and Rolf on the sidelines were quite helpless. To be honest, although they played with a semi-main lineup, Manchester United played very well, at least the attack line played well.

In the 12th minute of the first half, Harry Kane made a back-up single from outside the penalty area, but picked the ball to the right at the first time. Pavard entered the penalty area and slammed the goal. Sun Wu hit the goal from behind.

In the 22nd minute, Manchester United played a beautiful and smooth counterattack. Sun Wu, Harry Kane, and Bernardo Silva hit the wall consecutively.

On the penalty area line, Sun Wu shot the far corner with his left foot, but then sent a precise oblique plug. Lingard, who was running all the way, received the ball without defense, adjusted, aimed at the goal and pushed the dead corner.

Manchester United led 2-0 in the first half. Just when they thought the game was over early, Watford tenaciously pulled back a goal in the second half.

In the chaotic battle outside the penalty area, both Michael Keane and Pavard were unable to make a clearance. Dini protected the ball like a bear and turned around forcibly. Even Pavard had already hugged Dini, but there was still no way Block the opponent's turn.

Although Deeney failed to complete the shot, Iloha alertly snatched the ball into the penalty area before Kanter and scored.

In the 62nd minute of the second half, Sun Wu scored directly from a free kick to expand the score to 3-1. This was his first direct free kick this season.

But only 5 minutes later, the pair of Dini and Iloha chased the score to a goal again.

Knowing that Michael Keane couldn't deal with Deeney, Rojo, who was more physically fit, came to help.

But the consequences of this help were very tragic... Deeney completed the ferry over the heads of two Manchester United centre-backs, and Iloha drove straight in with the ball.

They missed Deeney when Rojo and Michael Keane frantically chased back to force Iroha to finish with a shot.

Iloha returned a pass, and another Watford player completed the cross. Deene in the penalty area opened his hands and forcibly blocked Pavard behind him, and easily scored the goal.

从2比0到2比1，再次3比1到3比2，沃特福德球员的顽强斗志让曼联球迷都为之赞叹。

Sun Wu sighed and made a tactical gesture towards the sidelines, and Mike Phelan immediately replaced Lingard with Herrera, and then replaced Bernardo Silva with Mane.

In order to consider the intensive schedule in the future, Sun Wu tried to end the battle as soon as possible, so he directed the team to press forward in the second half, but Watford is very good at playing this kind of chaotic battle. They completely abandoned the midfield and basically relied on Deeney and Iloh for offense. Ha two people.

Chasing the score twice in a row, Sun Wu no longer considered ending the game early. He replaced Herrera in order to enhance the control of the midfield, and replaced Mane in order to attack speed.

In the next 20 minutes, with the help of Herrera, Sun Wu easily controlled the rhythm of the game, and it was difficult for Watford to get the ball to effectively organize the attack.

"Well, I have to admit that even as a head coach, Best may be able to become a legend in the Premier League." Mortensen laughed: "The formation retreats, the midfielder holds the ball, and the two wings are ready to go... ..."

Before the words fell, after a series of kicks in the Manchester United midfielder, Harry Kane retreated and took the ball back. Herrera immediately sent an exquisite pass. Mane accelerated from the wing and forced a breakthrough into the penalty area. Inverted triangle pass The ball was followed by Harry Kane who dunked the opponent's defender and fell to the ground and scored.

This goal is the most typical and threatening routine in Manchester United's offensive methods this season. Even if Harry Kane cannot shoot, the follow-up Sun Wu or Herrera can also shoot or organize a second wave of offensive according to the situation.

4 to 2, with less than 5 minutes left in the game, Watford finally calmed down this time. Although they pressed heavily at the last moment, the offensive effect was not as good as that of Deeney and Iloha.

In the end, Manchester United scored 3 points at home. The score looked easy, but the process was quite difficult.

At the press conference after the game, Sun Wu praised Watford's tenacious fighting spirit.

"Football can be played beautifully and full of artistic atmosphere, but after all, this is a sport. This is a war in an era of peace. Only toughness and blood can truly show combat effectiveness."

Sun Wu's words appeared in the "Manchester Evening News" because the next day was the heavyweight match between Manchester City and Liverpool.
