Chapter 946 Leicester City's Weakness

"Manchester United locked in the first place in the group ahead of schedule, and Best's coaching ability was affirmed again"

"Manchester United without Best has struggled to win this season so far"

Just looking at the title, it is really hard to judge whether the media is touting or belittling Sun Wu...

However, the media also pointed out the key points, but it is impossible for Sun Wu to finish every game of the season. You must know that Manchester United claimed at the beginning of the season that they will not give up any events this season.

The most realistic question is, what if Sun Wu gets injured?
Once Sun Wu is injured and absent for a long time, Manchester United has no candidate to replace him, not even a second plan.

Sun Wu sneered at these questions, unless someone created a super brutal foul system, who in the world can hurt me?

"I guess Wenger really can't last this time." Mike Phelan was a little gloating. He followed Ferguson and confronted Wenger for a long time.

Sun Wu raised his head and thought for a while, but he really didn't remember when Wenger got out of class, but from the current point of view, it was really dangerous.

Among the four Premier League teams participating in the UEFA Champions League this season, Manchester United secured the first place in the group one round ahead of schedule. Manchester City still needs to compete with Juventus for the first place in the group, but they have already qualified ahead of schedule.

Liverpool was slaughtered by Bayern 0-3 in the away game before, but returned to Anfield and changed to Bayern 3-0. As long as they don't lose to Olympiacos in the last round, they can qualify.

And Arsenal is sadly reminded... was double-killed by the old enemy Barcelona at home and away, was tied by Leverkusen at home, won one and drew one against Borisov, and currently has 7 points, while Leverkusen has 8 points, as long as If they don't lose to Arsenal in the last round, Leverkusen will be able to qualify for the group stage, and Arsenal will miss the Champions League knockout rounds for three consecutive seasons.

Arsenal's league ranking is also embarrassing, currently ranked seventh, not to mention the Manchester City duo, Liverpool and Chelsea, rivals Tottenham ranked fifth, and Leicester City quietly won a wave of four consecutive After the victory, they overwhelmed Arsenal by 1 point and ranked sixth.

Sun Wu has been paying attention to Leicester City these days, not only because of the miracle of Yuan Shikong this season, but also because Manchester United's opponent in the next round of the league is Leicester City.

Compared with the Fox City that created miracles in history, Leicester City only lacks Kanter, but Ranieri, the tinkerer, still came up with the best plan. Andy King has good organizational skills but defensive A somewhat weak midfielder replaced Kanter. Although the defense was a bit weak, the offensive strength has also improved.

At the beginning of the season, they were unbeaten in six rounds, but after getting on track, Albrighton, Mahrez, and Vardy all showed outstanding performances. Ranieri's training ability is really not weak.

"Manchester United came to the King Power Stadium again." Zhan Jun saw that players from both sides had come out of the player tunnel, "Manchester United suffered a defeat here last season, and that was the most dangerous moment on the road to Manchester United's defending title."

"Last season, only Leicester City and Manchester United had a draw, one win and one loss." Zhang Lu added: "Valdy scored five goals in two games..."

"Valdy is still very good this season. There are actually many excellent forwards like him who have climbed up from the lower leagues, but there are fewer like him who have performed well in the Premier League for two consecutive seasons."

Holding the hand of the ball boy, he walked out of the player channel first, Sun Wu stopped and shook hands with Ranieri, Vardy, who was the last player in the ranks of Leicester City players, patted Sun Wu on the shoulder.

Although there is no longer a record of scoring 11 consecutive games, after losing streak at the beginning of the season, it was Vardy who used goals to bring Leicester City back on track.

Leicester City defeated Arsenal and Liverpool in a row last month. Vardy scored 5 goals in these two games, and the limelight was the same for a while.

In this game, Sun Wu played the main force except for the injured players. Falcao, Griezmann and Mane formed a trident. Behind Sun Wu, Herrera and Kante, the defense was a combination of old and new. Jones and Alderweireld, Lucas, Pavard.

After the start of the game, Sun Wu was keenly aware of Ranieri's tactical thinking, compressing space in the backcourt, preventing Morgan and Huth from being pierced behind, and making use of Vardy's speed advantage as much as possible in the counterattack.

If it is a positional attack, Drinking Water and Mahrez will become the core figures, and Albrighton's cross will also play a key role.

In the 19th minute, after several attempts, Sun Wu received a cross pass from Kanter in a lateral run, and Andy King and Drinkwater noticed Herrera's insertion vigilantly.

But at this moment, Sun Wu, who was stopping the ball, slightly increased his left foot, and the ball suddenly bounced out. Sun Wu then accelerated, and forced a breakthrough between Andy King and Drinkwater.

Speed ​​and confrontation have never been Sun Wu's advantages. The world's football circles recognize Sun Wu as a typical player who plays football with his brain.

It seems that a forced breakthrough has been completed with speed and body, but it is actually a typical example of kicking the ball with the brain.

"Oh... Leicester City was too careless, Best broke through..."

"Morgan... this is a foul!"

"Favorable to attack... Herrera made a direct pass, it was Lucas!"

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

"Lucas Hernandez scored his first goal since coming to Manchester United and the first goal of his career!"

Six months ago, Lucas, who was still at Atletico Madrid, met Sun Wu on the training ground. That meeting completely changed Lucas's career.

With Luke Shaw recuperating for a long time and Ashley Young leaving the team, Lucas took on the heavy responsibility on the left side of Manchester United, with sharp assists, solid defense, strong running ability up and down, and a beautiful cross.

Both Griezmann and Mane can pull the side, but they don't pull the side many times. In this case, Lucas has become Manchester United's No.1 guarding the left.

Starting from the first round of the league, he didn't take a break until the last round of the Champions League group stage, but Lucas has been waiting for nearly three months for his first goal.

After receiving a direct pass from Herrera and entering the penalty area, Lucas turned his head and glanced, followed by Simpson's footsteps, and Lucas volleyed vigorously from a small angle at this time, and the ball was in the hands of Schmeichel. and into the narrow gap between the post and the near corner.

Sun Wu, who was shoveled by Morgan, just got up and was thrown down again by Lucas who rushed forward.

Manchester, Elyhard Stadium.

The game has just ended, Manchester City successfully defeated Southampton 3-1 at home, Sterling opened the scoring first, and De Bruyne made a pass.

In the locker room, the coaching staff and players are watching the match between Manchester United and Leicester City. It was not only Manchester United that lost to Leicester City last season, but also Manchester City.

"Forcibly breaking through..." Jingdong An blinked and looked at David Silva in confusion, "I haven't seen it before."

"Yes." Sterling said with a sneer: "He often breaks through forcibly in the penalty area!"

Uh, since the second Manchester Derby last season, Sterling will definitely rank among the people who hate Sun Wu the most. The difference between blood and tears is the difference between Manchester United and Manchester City...

Guardiola didn't say anything but turned his head to look at Patrick, who shrugged helplessly.

Manchester City will face Leicester City in the next round, which is why I watched the live broadcast of the game today. Of course, the Manchester City coaching staff will study Leicester City's tactics.

Coaches of the level of Guardiola and Patrick can certainly see that Leicester City's weakness lies in the defense in the middle.

Although the fighting spirit of Morgan, Huth, and Schmeichel Jr. is admirable, and although players from Manchester United's youth training such as Drinking Water and Simpson have an urgent desire to perform, Fox City's central defense is indeed not very good. Kanter's replacement.

Of course Ranieri knew it too, so Drinkwater and Andy King kept their positions as much as possible after the opening.

But after nearly 20 minutes of testing, Sun Wu deliberately and frequently distributed the ball to the two sides, and Leicester City's central goal gradually loosened.

Therefore, Sun Wu's bold and forced breakthrough had a very good effect. After Morgan was drawn out, Manchester United's goal came naturally.

Guardiola sighed, despite Manchester City's 14-game winning streak, they are actually only 5 points ahead of Manchester United, and they can't get rid of them no matter what!

The biggest reason why they can't get rid of them is of course Sun Wu, but not only Sun Wu's outstanding performance on the court, but also Sun Wu's coaching ability.
