Chapter 966
Blue Moon sinks again at Old Trafford

"Guardiola's nemesis in life"

"Man City's 19-game winning streak is in vain, but Manchester United have a chance to make history"

"Manchester Derby, Clattenburg steals the spotlight"

Looking at the front page headlines of these newspapers, Sun Wu took out one from the bottom and handed it to Christine.

"Ahem, Guardiola spent 2 million pounds in the summer, introducing De Bruyne, Laporta, Sane, and Vidal. The effect is obvious. He won 18 consecutive victories, but he still lost to Best, you must know that Manchester United's summer signings made money."

After reading for a while, Christine glanced at the expressionless father, and then read: "From the pre-match deployment, on-the-spot adjustments, three changes to the substitution selection, Best completely suppressed Guardiola. Manchester City's unexpected lead is due to De Bruyne's individual quality."

"In the city of Manchester, Manchester United is still the overlord, Manchester City is still just a noisy neighbor..."

"Okay!" Patrick asked with a straight face. "What newspaper? Whose column?"

Sun Wu coughed twice and replied: "Daily Mail, Gary Neville's column."

Patrick had a sure-fire look on his face.

"But isn't what Gary said right?" Christine rolled up the newspaper and knocked on the table, "Best is Josep's nemesis!"

Patrick fell silent again, and asked after a while, "Best, how long have you practiced the three-back formation?"

Sun Wu replied honestly: "It's more than three months."

"That is to say, it started with Chelsea's change of 343..." Patrick pondered for a while and nodded, "I didn't appear in the warm-up match before the start of the season, and I didn't appear in the training camp in Spain. The defensive formation..."

Sun Wu curled his lips quietly, the information collected by Manchester City's coaching staff is really comprehensive, even the informal warm-up match played in Spain.

Then Patrick frowned and asked again: "But for more than three months, I only practiced on the training ground and never appeared in an official game. Why are you so..."

Sun Wu smiled and didn't speak. It was rare for him to touch the Erha beside him with his hands instead of his feet... Erha seemed a little unaccustomed, so the dog trembled and quickly moved away.

This is difficult for Manchester City's coaching staff to understand. They are all experts. Everyone knows that this kind of change is difficult to become proficient without having experienced the tempering of the game. This is also a major drawback of the team's change. Choose to change mid-season.

Conte had no choice but to change his team. He was already on the verge of dismissing get out of class, and it was very difficult to win the first three games.

But when Manchester United changed to three central defenders in this game, the whole Manchester United team seemed to be very adaptable. The running position, passing and receiving, supplementary defense and assisting defense were all in place, and there were almost no mistakes.

It can be seen from the two goals that Lucas and Alderweireld took the ball from the ribs and went straight into the frontcourt in the second half. It can be seen that they know what they are doing very well.

Today is New Year's Day, Sun Wu invited Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu who have not yet returned to China to have a small gathering, Christine pulled Patrick and his wife to join in the fun, almost everyone was happy, only Patrick kept pulling his face.

"Open a good bottle of wine today!" Sun Wu said with a smile while holding up the red wine he just picked out from the wine cellar: "Everyone should drink more except me."

Zhan Jun took the red wine and looked at it, and said while holding the bottle opener, "Who gave you this?"

"Thomas Müller, not his own, got it from Ram."

"German beer is famous, is the red wine good too?"

"It looks dark in color, but it's actually white wine." Sun Wu explained: "Most German wines are white wine."

"Don't worry, let's sober up for a while, I'm going to fry two steaks for Xitong."

"Hahaha, the food is so good, it's even better than yours!"

Sun Wu shrugged and went to the kitchen. Through this Manchester Derby, he had a deep understanding of the benefits brought by the system. Although there was no direct help, it played a key role.

"Don't make trouble, it's only two yuan." Sun Wu said to Erha who was squatting next to him while frying the steak: "You have to understand, you are an auxiliary system!"

Erha howled.

"Yes, yes, you are the key, but the most important thing is me."

Now Erha's tail drooped weakly, and it really couldn't refute these words.

After arranging Erha, Sun Wu returned to the dining table, watching everyone eating, he could only sigh and eat his own food, fish, fruit salad, pasta, and two croissants.

"Winter signings are about to start." Zhan Jun asked in Chinese: "Is there any action for Manchester United?"

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, everyone knows that Manchester United will buy a winger, and Mane will not be able to return until April." Sun Wu replied in English: "There is a goal, but it is hard to say whether it can be bought."

"Among the old people who are still in Barcelona, ​​the one who has the worst relationship with you is Pedro besides Alves." Patrick said coldly: "Even if he is willing to pay a high price, he may not be willing to come. The two Champions League champions have been disturbed by you. It's done."

"Who said you bought Pedro." Sun Wu rolled his eyes, "It is said that Sane was not very happy in Manchester City."

"who said it!"

"He himself said that Sterling can run and change positions in a wide range, but Sane can only hold the left flank. Josep doesn't seem to value him too much?"

Patrick stared at Sun Wu suspiciously. He knew very well that Guardiola and Sun Wu had already robbed Sane for more than two seasons.

After thinking for a while, Patrick asked: "Mane will not come back until April?"

"Yeah, otherwise Lingard and Milner will be on top." Sun Wu said with a sad face: "Without Mane, Manchester United often lacks a breakthrough player, and Griezmann is the main attacker. hand, you can't always rely on him to break through the cross."

Zhan Jun interjected: "If it is still a 343 formation, passing the ball can have a breakthrough effect."

"It's hard." Patrick said to everyone except Sun Wu, "Manchester United has won 15 consecutive victories, and the opponents behind... are likely to put up an iron barrel formation."

"That's right, Manchester City's games from November to December were like that." Sun Wu also agreed, "Josep wanted to draw him out, but the opponent just couldn't come out. I remember that the two games were lore wins to get 11 points. of."

"So when the winning streak goes to the end, the difficulty is that the founding party gets tired." Patrick sighed: "Even if this derby is not lost, it probably won't last long."

"So, Josep shouldn't be so angry." Sun Wu took the opportunity to criticize Guardiola, "It's too unmannered!"

After the Manchester Derby, Sun Wu invited Guardiola for a drink, which is the practice of Premier League coaches, but he was ignored at all...

Zhan Jun, Zhang Lu and the others laughed and didn't interrupt. Patrick's mouth twitched, and he didn't say anything after thinking for a while.

At the post-match press conference of that game, a reporter asked what he thought of De Bruyne's nickname "Best Second".

At that time, Sun Wu replied straightforwardly: "Everyone has seen this game. I am Best, and he is at best second best."
