Chapter 948 This Chicken

Lucky to win Leicester City 2-1, Manchester United continued their winning streak, while Manchester City and Chelsea also did not fall behind, defeating Southampton and Tottenham respectively.

To Sun Wu's surprise, Pochettino, who beat Conte from a tactical point of view, failed to stop Chelsea. Although Lukaku scored the first goal, Cuadrado assisted Cavani twice to reverse the score.

Carrington Base Office.

"What? Say it again!"

"Best, you heard me right." Dr. Swell said blankly, "It will take at least two months for Mane to recover from his thigh strain."

The rehabilitation coach on the side, Zettermeisle, twitched his lips, "It's hard to say when to resume training after recovering from the injury, and when to reach the competition standard. I estimate that Mane will not be able to play until February next year."

Sun Wu stood there dumbfounded, waved his hand after a while, "I'm going to the bathroom."

The assistant coaches all exchanged ignorant glances, and they were going to release water when they heard bad news. Is this Best's habit?

I was wrong, really wrong, very wrong!

Sun Wu gritted his teeth in the toilet and gave Bernardo Silva, Alderweireld, Pavard, Herrera, and Harry Kane medical insurance cards.

Although it is said that the landlord has no food left over, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. It has been nearly four months since the start of the new season, and Sun Wu, who has many friends, still has some points in his hands. Besides, the coaching system is now fully open. Leading the team to win for the first time is also rewarded with points.

Before, Sun Wu wanted to spend as much points as possible on group training, but now that the injury situation is getting more and more serious, Sun Wu has nothing to do with heartache. Mane, the sharpest breakthrough player in the Manchester United team, may be absent for three months...

Back in the office, Sun Wu began to face up to Mane's injuries. It is not his job to recover from injuries and rehabilitation training. Sun Wu needs to find a replacement.

Mike Phelan hesitated, "Lingard, Milner, anyway, Bernardo Silva is here."

Sun Wu shook his head slowly. In the first three months of the new season, Bernardo Silva's performance was impeccable. The media compared him with David Silva and called him Sun Wu's best partner.

But whenever the Premier League is familiar with it, the Portuguese's weaknesses are also caught to death, lack of breakthrough ability, and no advantages in speed and explosive power.

The "Times" once listed a set of crossing data. Among the full-backs of the 19 Premier League teams, Paval and Coleman ranked first and third in the number of wing crosses.

This is largely due to Bernardo Silva's lack of speed. He likes to come in and find opportunities to cooperate with Sun Wu, and the wing is completely given over to the right back.

But the full-back's breakthrough ability cannot be compared with the winger after all. In the past month, Mane has shared similar playing time with Griezmann and Bernardo Silva.

In theory, with Bernardo Silva and Griezmann, Manchester United's offensive power on paper will not be greatly affected, but in fact Mane has a unique position in the Manchester United team.

In this case, Mane's injury dealt a heavy blow to Sun Wu, even if Mane's absence made Manchester United lack a sharp breakthrough player, only considering the schedule, Bernardo Silva and Griezmann are It's hard to resist.

In the following two consecutive weeks, there will be double matches a week, and then fly to the far east to play the Club World Cup, and then there will be the Christmas schedule, and the two make-up matches will always be arranged in January next year.

Lingard and Milner can comeo, but the effect will be very poor. Sun Wu's sight fell on the No. 25 chess piece.

I hope Shaqiri will not hold back.

……

On December 12, the quarter-finals of the League Cup kicked off, and Manchester United played against Hull City at home.

Sun Wu sat on the bench with his legs crossed, smiled and turned his head to Mike Phelan's ear and said, "The Swiss doesn't want to stay at Manchester United anymore?"

In this regard, the corner of Mike Phelan's mouth twitched and he was speechless.

In this game, Manchester United played with a semi-main lineup, with Falcao, Bernardo Silva and Shaqiri in the frontcourt.

In the 15th minute, Falcao received a cross from Herrera and broke the goal. In the 36th minute, Bernardo Silva slanted into the penalty area and assisted Herrera to expand the score.

But Shaqiri lost possession of the ball 45 times in 7 minutes of the first half, only 5 of 1 attempts was successful, and both shots were outrageously off-target.

"Shaqiri!" Rolf suddenly stood up and shouted towards the field: "Defend, defend!"

Sun Wu keenly noticed the unhappy expressions on the faces of Fletcher and Lucas who are close to this side. Both Griezmann and Mane will come back to help defend, except for you Shaqiri?
I really thought you were Messi!
Even Messi has a defensive task in Barcelona now!

Sun Wu let Shaqiri start because he has been injured twice this season, and there is a lack of tacit understanding between him and the new players, so he wants the Swiss to run in and out.

Therefore, Falcao and Bernardo Silva are off the court to rest, while Shaqiri is still on the court.

But Shaqiri doesn't think so. In his opinion, Mane's injury doesn't have much impact on him. Bernardo Silva and Griezmann are still the absolute main players, and he is completely unaffected by Sun Wu. see you.

Griezmann rested for this game, and Bernardo Silva started the game because he did not enter the squad for the last round of rest. Shaqiri felt that Sun Wu regarded himself as a player who could only rotate in the League Cup and FA Cup. chess pieces.

Reckless breakthroughs, forced long-range shots without looking at the position of teammates at all, not active in returning to defense, high-position pressing is just a show... Sun Wu's face on the sidelines is getting worse and worse.

No wonder this guy never got the main position in Bayern and Inter Milan, so he can only go to Stoke City... Sun Wu cursed secretly in his heart, he didn't know that after he crossed and Stoke City was relegated, Shaqiri After going to Liverpool, although he lifted the Big Ears Cup, he was still a substitute and could not become the main force.

In the end, the dreary game ended, and Manchester United defeated Hull City 2-0 with Herrera's pass to advance to the semi-finals of the League Cup.

In stoppage time of the game, Shaqiri also had a fight with Hull City defender Maguire. Both of them fought and each received a yellow card.

Sun Wu is indifferent to this, and he is waiting for the result of another game.

"Well, it's Manchester City." Mike Phelan put down his phone, "Swept Southampton 6-1."

Sun Wu nodded and thought in his mind, Guardiola has won two League Cups in a row, so he probably won't focus on this this season.

The other two top four teams are Liverpool and Everton.

Sun Wu twitched at the corner of his mouth, what a coincidence, I don’t know if the FA will play tricks, it happens to be the Manchester Derby and the Merseyside Derby, and the League Cup semi-final is a two-leg home and away game, maybe This season, I will meet Guardiola four times.

After shaking hands with the head coach of Hull City, Sun Wu stood outside the player tunnel and high-fived the players one by one, but Shaqi walked past him expressionlessly without raising his arms.

Sun Wu shrugged his shoulders with a smile, but there was a trace of coldness in his eyes, this chicken is almost...
