Chapter 962 Best Second

In this Manchester Derby, many reporters focused their attention on Sterling. This dexterous little forward was humiliated after the game last season and became the laughing stock of the whole country and even Europe.

Regardless of what happens in the future, the word "tears" is likely to accompany Sterling throughout his career.

Everyone thinks that Sterling is holding fire in his heart, and his performance this season is very good. In the case of Aguero's poor state, Sterling shoulders the burden of scoring. He currently has 13 league goals, each 19 goals in all competitions, more than the total number of goals scored last season.

But in fact, it is not Sterling, but De Bruyne, who is most suffocating in the Manchester City team.

From Wolfsburg, he hated being called "Best's second". After coming to Manchester City, he played very well, but then the media commented...he really deserves to be Best's second.

But De Bruyne was injured for more than a month in early November. At that time, the media commented on him...Looking at the tendency of physical injuries, it is true that he can only be regarded as the second best. Best has not been injured for many years!
Although De Bruyne has similar long-range shooting and passing skills to Sun Wu, the positions of the two are different. Sun Wu mainly plays in the middle, while De Bruyne prefers to appear on the wing.

And Guardiola asked De Bruyne to play in the middle during training... Although Ding Ding accepted it, he felt very awkward.

If this game is lost, De Bruyne can almost imagine how the media will comment... Don't learn from Best, after all, you are only second to Best.

The pent-up anger was reflected on the field, that is, he kicked hard and ran hard. For a while, it was difficult for Manchester United to find a gap in the middle. Sun Wu tried to develop to the two sides, but there was no gain. He simply passed the ball back. , anyway, the decisive moment of this game is the second half... It's already the 45th minute, and the stoppage time on the sidelines is only 1 minute.

But at this moment, Kanter's pass to Herrera was slightly stronger. The latter made a mistake in stopping the ball, and De Bruyne suddenly went up to grab it.

"De Bruyne steals the ball!" Zhan Jun raised his voice and shouted: "Dangerous... Manchester City fast break!"

In fact, Manchester United has enough defensive numbers in the midfield, but the cross-running positions of Aguero, Sane, and Sterling made the field chaotic.

Sun Wu immediately rushed to David Silva to block the passing route, but De Bruyne didn't even think about crossing, he went straight forward with the ball and sent a direct pass.

"Direct pass...Aguero plays the ball..."

"De Bruyne... dangerous... Sane's place..."

"Ooh, shot!"

"The goal was scored!" Zhan Jun grinned, "De Bruyne shot a long shot with his left foot, and De Gea failed to make a save."

"The world wave... De Gea is the same." Zhang Lu said helplessly: "The left foot can also kick a powerful world wave long-range shot. It is really a bit like Sun Wu."

After scoring the goal, De Bruyne didn't smile. He ran to the sidelines... his nose, eyes and mouth were all crowded together, and he roared to vent his dissatisfaction.

Sun Wu touched his nose and didn't say a word. The conceded goal left him speechless. De Bruyne and Aguero's cooperation bypassed Kanter.

Although Kanter did not give up, De Bruyne chose to volley with his left foot without stopping the ball, which made it too late for Kanter to block.

In fact, if De Bruyne chooses to pass Sane directly, Manchester United may complete the clearance if there are enough people in the penalty area, but this is the most suitable offensive routine.

But De Bruyne chose a long shot, and it was a long shot with his left foot, which caught De Gea off guard.

In general, this goal comes from De Bruyne's personal ability.

Mortensen commented in this way, "Suddenly steals the center and attacks on the spot. There is no breakthrough, no passing, but hits the wall with Aguero and cooperates, and then directly scores the goal with his left foot."

"Tsk tsk, I have to say that De Bruyne really looks like Best."

De Bruyne vomited to death hearing it...

Sun Wu's line of sight collided with Mike Phelan on the sidelines. The former shrugged, while the latter spread his hands. Although the tactics are still immature, they must try.

But wait until the second half, the first half is about to end.

"De Bruyne is really good when he comes to the middle, and he is as comprehensive as Best. He goes forward, pulls the side, and presses forward to create threats. Of course, De Bruyne retreats to organize the attack and control the rhythm. He needs to be strengthened, he is the second best..." Mortensen was still praising De Bruyne, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, I just said that De Bruyne is the second best..."

"Hahaha, Best must be secretly laughing!"

Sun Wu turned his head to look, and De Bruyne, who had finished celebrating, was standing on the sidelines, frowning, stroking the inner thigh...

Tsk tsk, he could stretch his thighs in celebration, Sun Wu grinned and suppressed a smile. As an opponent, he might feel a little regretful, but as a head coach, he would only be secretly happy.

De Bruyne finished his treatment on the sidelines, but Manchester United kicked off normally, but Clattenburg immediately blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

Manchester United players walked into the player tunnel, while Manchester City players surrounded De Bruyne on the sidelines. Everyone knows the significance of this Belgian to the team. During the month when he was injured, several games were narrowly won. The game is only in stoppage time before the opponent is lore.

Griezmann, who was the last to walk into the player tunnel, also said to his old teammate Bravo, "It's none of our business this time."

Guardiola nervously asked the team doctor. In his mind, De Bruyne was indeed the second Best. The technical characteristics of the two were very similar, but there was one very big difference. Except for the time eight years ago, Best Few injuries, and De Bruyne hardly has a season without injuries...

……

in the locker room.

Everyone shut their mouths and listened to Sun Wu who was standing in the center making tactical deployments. There were 11 chess pieces placed on the tactical board, with lines drawn between them with pens of various colors.

"So, Kanter, your task in the second half is very heavy. Unless it's a high press, you can't lose your position."

"Van Dijk, you also need to hold your position, support Kante and hand it over to Pavard and Alderweireld."

Sun Wu turned to look at Lucas, "You are the most important point. You need to hold the ball to advance, you need to adduct the protection, and you also need to pull the side to provide the ball exit point."

Sun Wu's eloquent explanation made the players nod their heads one after another.

"Warm up every 10 minutes on the bench and be ready to play at any time." Sun Wu emphasized, "The whole world knows that Manchester City's possession of the ball is very good, and taking advantage may not necessarily win the ball..."

"So we need blood instead of tears," Griezmann responded with a smile.

"Not bad." Sun Wu nodded with a smile, "Now, let's go out."

This time Manchester United took the lead to walk out of the player channel, and Manchester City dawdled until Clattenburg asked.

The two sides had just established their positions, and Clattenburg hadn't blown the whistle. De Bruyne kicked the ball towards the center circle... Then he sat on the ground in pain with his hands on his inner thighs, and reached out to the sidelines to make a substitution gesture for Guardiola .

Sun Wu looked at this scene with a grin... The media said it was right, you are the second best, and you will never be the best.
