Chapter 883 Chapter 885: Return to Wembley

"That's it, Lee.

Now I want to hear your thoughts. "Magic Bird closed the folder in his hand and stared at Li Liang who was sitting on the sofa by the desk.

Li Liang replied while thinking: "I understand what you mean, but the arrangement of Paul (Pogba) and Nemania (Matic)..."

Magic Bird replied: "This is also a headache for me. After Alexis (Sanchez) comes, the offense on the left can be handed over to him.

I want to keep the distance between Paul and Alexis so that our overall offense doesn't have to change too much..."

In the training session in the morning, the atmosphere of the whole team was obviously different from the game against Yeovil.

Tottenham are ranked fifth in the league, but the whole team believes that this trip to the new Wembley Stadium will face huge adjustments.

Pogba was in a bad mood because the position of his thighs moved back. During training, Faria called a stop several times and lost his temper. However, the Frenchman's state has not improved.

Even though Ibrahimovic and Li Liang took turns to appease, Pogba was still depressed.

On the other hand, the thighs were extremely excited during the training, showing a much better state than the first training session.

The rehearsal of the main lineup also encountered problems. According to Faria's arrangement, Li Liang was responsible for suppressing Tottenham's Sun Xingmin and Davis' left offensive combination on the right, and the left was handed over to the thigh.

The breakthrough and strong attack of the thigh in the drill are still extremely sharp, but Pogba is unwilling to fill the position for the thigh that is on the ground, causing the substitute team to use the huge gap on the left side of the main force to play high-quality counterattacks one after another.

The unbearable Faria stopped the training again, and angrily yelled at Pogba in public: "Paul, what are you doing?
At Wembley, you will face Christian (Erickson) and Dele (Ali) in turn!

We'll be utterly crushed if we leave room for them! "

Pogba spread his hands dissatisfied: "Why doesn't Alexis defend?"

Faria: "Alexis is in charge of pressing their defenders and you have to cover the left half of the midfield!"

Pogba took off his training vest and threw it on the ground: "I'm sorry, I don't have this ability. This should be done by someone who can get 50 pounds a week!"

After speaking, he turned around and walked away, leaving behind a group of stunned young and old.

With a huge shadow, the Manchester United team arrived in London, and the waiting reporters soon found that Pogba had not been seen the whole time.

In the press conference before the game, Mourinho really complimented the home team as a matter of routine: "...Tottenham are one of the best teams in the league, no matter how they rank, it is not important for this game , the important thing is that they have strong strength..."

A reporter raised his hand and asked: "It is said that Pogba did not come to London. Will he appear in tomorrow's game?"

Magic Bird replied: "Paul still has a problem with his left calf muscle. Everything depends on the test before tomorrow's game. If he can pass, he will play."

The reporter is still reluctant: "If he can't play tomorrow, when will he come back at the earliest?"

Magic Bird's face was as calm as water: "As long as he fully recovers, he will return to our lineup.

Ok, next question! "

On the day of the game, after greeting each other, the two sides began to warm up before the game.

Tottenham are already very familiar with Li Liang, Kane and Li Liang shook hands and said: "Li, welcome to Wembley for the second time!
I'm so sorry I didn't get to play you at Old Trafford last time..."

Li Liang replied with a smile: "Good luck, Harry!"

Sun Xingmin and Li Liang hugged and asked: "Li, I heard that you are very dissatisfied with Sanchez's weekly salary of 50 pounds?

Pogba even quit training? ! "

Li Liang replied: "He (Pogba) just has some physical problems and will be back soon. We are all very happy with Alexis' arrival!"

Several Tottenham players returned to have a brief exchange at halftime, and found that every Manchester United player answered exactly the same question.

Unable to tell what it was, Li Liang felt that the short communication with Kane always distracted him.

He didn't know what happened until he saw the Tottenham players on the opposite side start practicing with the ball.

He saw a top center with a staggering 93 overall rating!
Not only the overall rating that only he can see, but Kane's gestures, demeanor and tone of voice when he came to say hello before the game all made Li Liang feel different!
He immediately realized that compared with the two rounds in Monaco, Harry Kane has undergone tremendous changes from the inside to the outside!

Henry sighed in the commentary: "No matter what he wants, Paul Pogba will definitely not participate in this game. This is definitely a huge loss for Manchester United."

His partner Carragher echoed: "Yes.

Although Pogba's statistics this season are inconspicuous compared with Lee and Romelu (Lukaku), the huge role of Manchester United's No. 6 in the game is difficult for other players to replace.

Frankly speaking, I don't think Manchester United have any advantage against Tottenham without Paul.

Even if Alexis continues to start, it won't make up for the huge void left by Paul..."

Sir Bobby Charlton in the stands also frowned, and he said softly to the lady beside him: "Without the Frenchman (Pogba), I hope we can get at least 1 point..."

Ferguson on the other side of Sir Charlton also looked dignified.

In the studio of Seven Star Sports, Tang Meng and Lu Yue were also discussing the same issue. Tang Meng said: "To be honest, in my impression, Mourinho has always ruled the army with an iron fist, but now he treats Pogba The question is confusing.

Mourinho seems to have been conceding to the French..."

Lu Yue analyzed: "The continuous downturn in the past few years has kept Manchester United away from the Champions League stage and while its revenue has declined, it has further lost its appeal to top players.

They won the Europa League last season, coupled with the continuous introduction of Pogba, Li Liang and Lukaku, the entire club is still in the process of rebuilding.

I think the most important thing is that they are not afraid of losing Pogba, but are extremely worried that Pogba will turn to a direct competitor. This is the most difficult thing for Manchester United to accept.

If it is purely an accident that Manchester City lost Jingzhou carelessly in the Manchester Derby last time, making Manchester United successfully come back at the last moment——

This game can also be seen to see what kind of strength Manchester United currently has after losing Pogba at the competitive level. "

……

The atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room was a bit depressing.

The club has imposed internal penalties on Pogba, and the Frenchman has been ordered to stay in Manchester for reflection.

Magic Bird still maintained the pre-match tactical arrangement, but replaced Pogba with Herrera.

Li Liang has heard more than one teammate say in private: "...If there is no Alexis, we can still fight against Tottenham even if Paul is not here..."
