The Greatest Performer on the Football Field

This season's Premier League is recognized as the most competitive in history.

Compared to the duo of Ferguson and Wenger back then, compared to the three-legged rivalry of Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea ten years ago, at least five teams were considered to be strong contenders for the championship before the start of this season, even in March now, There are also three teams remaining competitive.

These three teams are Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United. They all have one thing in common, very strong attacking power.

Not only Suarez, Griezmann and Aguero, but also because of the attacking team behind them, Sun Wu, Thomas Muller, David Silva, Gotze, Thiago, Shinji Kagawa, Stanley Trin...

On the artistry and appreciation of offense, Manchester City is the most recommended.

In terms of the speed and variability of offense, let's talk about Liverpool.

As for Manchester United...many people in the industry believe that it was Sun Wu who turned everything into gold.

The most powerful proof is that the positions of Manchester United's frontcourt players are relatively rigid. There are position swaps, but they are rare. Generally speaking, cross-running rarely occurs.

It's not that Sun Wu and Pochettino don't want to play this game. The key is that the pressure on defense is too great. When there is a lack of flank breakers, players need to be relatively fixed in position and help defend in time.

Of course, the so-called flexible running position is not absent in Manchester United. On the contrary, the player with the most erratic running position in the Premier League is in Manchester United.

Under Ancelotti, Thomas Muller was frustrated.

As early as August last year, Guardiola noticed Muller, and he also recalled that Sun Wu had proposed to acquire the German striker.

This season, Thomas Muller shined in Manchester United, scoring 15 goals in all seasons, and also sent 9 assists. He has repeatedly won in key games. Ancelotti has been criticized by a large number of Bayern fans for this .

Sun Wu once called Thomas Müller a space catcher in an interview program.

For such an erratic attacker, Guardiola naturally attaches great importance to it, but what he did not expect is that this time Thomas Muller is not just erratic...

When Sun Wu's pass was sent to the right, many people unexpectedly found that the player who received the ball and was about to pass it was Ashley Young.

Is it a switch between left and right wingers?

Is it a player running a wide range of positions on the field?

Guardiola in the stands knows,

Absolutely not, Thomas Muller may switch positions, but a traditional winger like Ashley Young will not and is not used to doing this kind of thing!

Ashley Young? Zhan Jun was also a little surprised, A direct pass...

At the moment of Ashley Young's cross, Sun Wu raced outside the box line at high speed, Griezmann tried to shake off Otamendi to grab the spot, and Fletcher drove into the box to attract the attention of the Manchester City defenders.

A tall, thin guy who has no star appearance at all and hardly played in this game suddenly appeared at the back point, firmly stopping Walker behind him!

Müller... Mortensen yelled, Thomas Müller with a header... oh oh man United scored!

3 to 1, Manchester United extended their lead!

Thomas Muller, who was almost hugged by Walker and scored a header, jumped up, frantically tore the jersey on his chest, and rushed to the corner kick.

Pochettino in the stands also jumped up, raised his fist and shouted loudly with the Manchester United fans around him!

The camera of the live broadcast party immediately found Guardiola. This guy sat expressionless on the seat, as if he had moved out of a wax man's house.

A very unexpected goal. In fact, Thomas Muller was still a right winger at the beginning of the second half. Zhan Jun paused, Look at the replay... Muller got out from behind Walker and got stuck, which means he was Into the restricted area from the left wing.

Director Zhang, this shouldn't be an accident, right?

Of course it wasn't an accident. Zhang Lu said firmly: Because the assister was Ashley Young, Professor Yang, who should have appeared on the left, sent a cross from the right, and Muller, who should have been on the right, sent a cross from the left. This should be Manchester United's tactical adjustment during the halftime break.

Sun Wu rubbed Erwa's curly hair vigorously, and looked at the coach's bench with a smile.

Mike Phelan and Jesus gave Sun Wu a thumbs up at the same time... In the locker room, both Pochettino and Sun Wu had the idea of ​​changing positions left and right in the second half, but the difference was that the latter didn't think it should be executed immediately.

As Sun Wu expected, Thomas Muller appeared on the left side and Walker was at a loss. He could completely suppress the Germans in terms of strength and speed, but the opponent was not only very erratic in terms of running positions, but also possessed initiative.

The most important thing is that Thomas Muller has never appeared on the left this season, at most he played as a second striker, so in the tactical preparations before the game, Walker was not psychologically prepared to deal with Muller.

To deal with Thomas Muller, Guardiola arranged for Adriano on the one hand, and Aguero and Carlos Tevez on the other hand to create threats on the left flank in order to suppress Thomas Muller and force him to Non-stop replenishment and defense.

Throughout the first half, although Manchester United successfully reversed, Thomas Muller's performance was very, very average, but ten minutes into the second half, the German regained his brilliance in a brand new position!

Every Manchester United player was excited to expand the lead, but Sun Wu used the fastest speed to pull the crowd away and let the game restart.

High position pressing? Zhan Jun blinked, Are Manchester United trying to strike while the iron is hot?

This is not striking while the iron is hot, is it? Zhang Lu said with a chuckle, This should be called killing them all, but anyway, the two sides are mortal enemies. In the Premier League, Manchester United's mortal enemy, besides Liverpool, is Manchester City.

In the 58th minute, Fernandinho made a mistake due to Fletcher's fierce pressing in the frontcourt. The side ball from Brazil's midfielder was too weak. Coleman advanced at high speed and snatched it before Aguero ball.

Guardiola in the stands would have wanted to cover his face if he hadn't been afraid of the camera that was pointed at him all the time... I have to say that some people are born to be head coaches, while others are born to be assistant coaches.

Ashley Young and Thomas Müller, while both nominal wingers, have completely different styles.

The most typical change is that when Ashley Young switches positions on the right, he can cooperate with Coleman on the wing, but Thomas Muller, who is erratic, cannot do it.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Coleman, who had been tightly suppressed for the first 60 minutes, finally rushed through halftime like a tiger on the mountain!

After a simple pass and match, Sun Wu sent a diagonal plug, and Coleman shouldered Adriano away and made a pass from the bottom.

Cross... Griezmann header!

Bravo saved...Thomas Müller...Penalty!

There is no doubt about the penalty! Zhan Jun roared: And Walker has a yellow card!

Griezmann defeated Otamendi in the air and then shook his head to attack the goal. Bravo stretched out his hand reflexively to block, and the ball landed one meter in front of the goal.

Walker, who was thrown off by Thomas Muller again, hugged the opponent. Although Fernandinho made a clearance first, the whistle sounded.

Webber, who pointed at the penalty spot, went around the Manchester City player who begged for mercy, and took out a second yellow card to send Walker off without mercy.

Guardiola on the field couldn't bear it anymore, took out a note and wrote something, and then Manchester City's team doctor sneaked up to the stands and took the note down.

Bursting boos suddenly sounded from the stands. Griezmann, who handed the ball to Sun Wu, turned his head in surprise. The scene of Guardiola handing the note to the team doctor was playing back on the big screen... They thought It's very secretive.

Is the Football Association short of manpower? Sun Wu laughed and teased Webber, Maybe Manchester United needs staff to play cameo?

Weber twitched the corner of his mouth and didn't say anything. Normally, when a head coach is suspended, someone from the FA will watch over him, but there is no such thing as being sent off on the spot.

Hahaha, Guardiola... Zhan Jun couldn't help laughing.

Penalty kick...is Sun Wu's penalty. Zhang Lu smiled and stared at Sun Wu who was walking towards the penalty spot.

Bravo bouncing around on the goal line trying to give Sun Wu some misleading... but it was totally ineffective, Sun Wu rarely took penalty kicks, but his team-mates knew the way he did.

Shua!

Before Bravo could react, the ball was already behind him.

No problem, Manchester United leads Manchester City 4-1. This Manchester Derby is really surprising!

Very bold and very confident. Zhang Luzan said: It seems that this is not the first time Sun Wu took a penalty kick like this. In my impression, only Alan Shearer took a penalty kick like this before.

Sun Wu takes a penalty kick with great power, fast speed, and short run-up distance. If he chooses the left and right upper corners, he will either fly out of the baseline or the center post, or get into the net. The goalkeeper can't do anything.

4 to 1 is far ahead, and it is still 11 against 10, the overall situation is set!

The home fans in the stands began to rejoice, and the drums from the gathering place of Chinese fans became louder and louder.

Manchester City's Torrent replaced Tevez with Harvey Alonso in accordance with Guardiola's instructions, and Manchester United remained on hold.

Sun Wu looked suspiciously at Xavi Alonso who was on the field. What is Guardiola trying to do?

Harvey Alonso came on and stood in the midfielder position... Zhan Jun carefully observed the positions of the Manchester City players, Adriano pressed forward to hit the wing back, and Fernandinho on the other side was slightly on the right. Filling in for Walker who was sent off.

In this way, Manchester City's backcourt is too empty. Zhang Lu said, There are only Rodwell and Otamendi.

Harvey Alonso can drop back and play as a central defender. Fernandinho's defensive ability is also good. Adriano should have the physical strength to sprint back and forth.

It depends on how Manchester United will deal with it...

Sun Wu commanded the team to retreat slightly. After carefully observing the positions of the Manchester City players, he couldn't help half mocking and half admiring Guardiola in his heart.

Guardiola is unwilling to give up, unwilling to give up this game... Just like Sun Wu and Mourinho, they are the kind of people who will not die when they go to the Yellow River!

Compared with Mourinho, who is absolutely result-oriented, Guardiola pays more attention to what is reflected in the game process, such as tactics, player status, possession rate and so on.

This also directly leads to a result. Guardiola's coaching game win rate is higher than Mourinho's, but the probability of losing by a big score is also higher than Mourinho's.

Sun Wu glanced at the sidelines, and Torrent was instructing Manchester City players to press forward and start a high press.

Torrent is one of the most important right-hand men around Guardiola, but he lacks the decisiveness necessary for an excellent head coach. If he adjusts in time, the penalty just now may not necessarily appear.

Although it was 10 against 11, Manchester City still created a threat.

In the 68th minute, David Silva sent a wonderful oblique ball. Adriano sprinted at high speed and wiped out Coleman. He entered the penalty area and passed back in an inverted triangle. Thiago shot with his left foot inside the penalty area.

Thiago... Refraction!

The 6th goal of the game appeared. Thiago shot from the penalty area and hit Alderweireld's heel and flew into the goal. De Gea was helpless.

Sun Wu turned his head and glanced at Schneiderlin. The French defensive midfielder made another mistake. He failed to make up in time, allowing Thiago to play calmly in his defense zone.

Be tougher. Sun Wu clapped his hands, Get through this time.

It will be 70 minutes soon, and Sun Wu does not believe that Manchester City, which is fighting alone, has the physical strength to continue to press at a high position.

In the 76th minute, David Silva and the withdrawn Aguero played in the middle to bypass Schneiderlin again.

Silva... heels, beautiful!

Aguero has the ball and can shoot... Wow, Fletcher is really ruthless! Zhan Jun smacked his lips, This is an action that will definitely attract cards.

Both Torrent on the sidelines and Guardiola in the stands opened their arms in protest, and Patrick kept making gestures at Webber.

In the replay on the big screen, when Aguero glanced at De Gea's position and was about to swing his legs, Fletcher came from the side and shoveled the Argentine with the ball.

But Manchester United's defense is really scary. Zhang Lu commented: Phil Jones should have rushed up just now. Aguero actually either broke through or shot just now. Douglas Costa didn't run just now, and that side Luke Shaw is not out of position either...

Yes, even if Phil Jones is passed, Manchester United's defense is manned to cover the defense, but if they go back, Aguero will have room to kick. The Argentine striker has a very good long shot.

When Webber showed Fletcher the yellow card, the Manchester City players were already cursing, while Torrent and Patrick protested angrily to the fourth official.

At this moment, Sun Wu quietly ran to the sidelines.

Others didn't pay attention, but Guardiola found out, he frowned and stared at that guy, what did this guy want to do! ?

Although Guardiola doesn't like Sun Wu now, he has to admit that the opponent's on-the-spot adjustment ability is very good, and the score of 2 to 4 is there.

Substitute, Paul finished warming up?

Paul? Jesús was a little surprised, looked back at Pogba who was jogging, and nodded hesitantly, He replaced Fletcher?

En. Sun Wu nodded and gestured to Pogba to come over.

You replace Fletcher.

You don't need to defend!

Your mission is to attack!

Hearing this, Pogba nodded excitedly.

Dribbling, passing, breaking, and rushing into the penalty area to grab points!

Sun Wu patted Pogba's back hard, Paul, the stage has been set for you, come on!
