The Greatest Performer on the Football Field

After Pochettino left, Sun Wu did not choose the old office, but worked next door.

This is a room of nearly 60 square meters. The left half is an office area with a total of six desks. Although there are definitely more than six members of the Manchester United first team coaching staff, many people such as team doctors, physical therapists, etc. have independent offices.

There is a circle of sofas on the right half, and there is a large TV screen on the opposite wall, which Sun Wu specially requested.

Sun Wu did not choose the best position. He knew that he needed to establish authority as he had just taken up his new position, but he also needed to maintain a humble and low profile on certain occasions.

It was the latter point that prevented him from openly breaking up with Pochettino, and also made Mike Phelan determined to choose him. In the words of Carrick, who had just joined the coaching staff...he really didn't look like a young man in his 20s. .

Think about it. Sun Wu held the microphone and said sadly: Ashley Young has left the team, and Luke Shaw cannot support the entire season.

Felipe on the other end of the phone hesitated...

I am not that Portuguese! Sun Wu continued to persuade: And it is difficult for Coleman and Fabinho to play on the left.

In the season that just ended, Felipe only got 21 playing opportunities at Chelsea, only 14 of which were starts, and most of them were in second-tier competitions such as the FA Cup and League Cup. Mourinho and Hiddink would rather choose Ani. Zpilicueta made a guest appearance, and you must know that Felipe was a member of the best team of the Champions League the year before.

Although Sun Wu was very jealous of Lucas, considering that the defense needed more experience, he extended an invitation to Felipe. In his memory, the Brazilian full-back could still maintain a high level of competitiveness in 2018.

Just when Sun Wu was talking about it, the phone was suddenly hung up.

Blinking in confusion, Sun Wu was a little confused. He and Felipe had a very good relationship, and they had a heated fight last summer.

At this time, the phone rang again. As soon as Sun Wu answered the call, there was a burst of scolding mixed with slang.

Uh, it's Simeone... so fast!

As luck would have it, I called Simeone just when he and Felipe were meeting... This was also bad luck!

After listening for a while, Sun Wu found the opportunity to interrupt, Diego, there's no need to be so angry, right? And hanging up the phone for others... it's very rude!

Best,

It is said that you will be the new manager of Manchester United? Simone warned in a low voice, Contact players from other teams privately... UEFA must be very interested in this!

Who said that! Sun Wu's voice became sharp, I'm just a player, as a friend... Hey, hey, hey...

Sun Wu put down the microphone in disappointment, hey, this time he and Simeone are almost at odds... Forget it, Felipe returns to Atletico Madrid, maybe Lucas will really come.

Seeing that Sun Wu was unsuccessful, Mike Phelan knocked on the table and said, Best, the scouts handed over a report on the left back of Hull City. I remember you specifically told the scouts to pay attention.

Hey, it's really hard to find a good left back! Sun Wu sighed, Robertson is very good, but there are many competitors.

Giggs shrugged, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Liverpool all need reinforcements at the left back position...

Carrick looked down at the player list, But the key now is the centre-back... After Miranda left, there are only Alderweireld, Rojo and Phil Jones. Will Michael Keane stay? Hard to say.

Sun Wu shouted at Mike Ferranun, who picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. A tall man wearing a green and white jersey jumped out on the screen. He quickly pressed forward to steal the ball, jumped high to head the ball to clear the ball, and chased back at high speed and made a bold tackle. , sacrificing his life to catch the eye at the critical moment...

Virgil van Dijk. Mike Phelan introduced: Dutch, born in 1991, now 24 years old, 193cm tall and 92kg in weight. Although he is tall, he can turn flexibly, is not slow, and selects positions accurately. Excellent anticipation, very strong in the air, and good at short, medium and short passes.”

The color of the jersey looked familiar to Giggs, At Celtic?

Well, he was born in the youth training of Willem II in the Eredivisie. He moved to Celtic in 2013 and performed very well in two seasons. He won two Scottish Premiership titles and a Scottish League Cup title. It is said that Arsenal are interested in him during this winter transfer period. Very interested. Mike Phelan smiled when he said this, But the transfer fee was not negotiated, so Wenger signed Gabriel instead.

Although the huge debt incurred for the Emirates Stadium has been paid off and superstars such as Ozil and Sanchez have been signed for two consecutive years, Wenger is still very stingy in filling other positions.

I noticed him as early as two years ago when he came to Celtic. He is a great central defender, stable, strong and has excellent psychological quality. Sun Wu looked serious, The problem The price is not too low, and we have a competitor.”

who?

Southampton.

The way Giggs and Carrick looked at Van Dijk suddenly changed. You must know that Southampton has the best youth training camp in the UK, so they are very cautious and have a very vicious vision when spending money to buy stars.

But compared with Southampton, Manchester United has a huge advantage. Mike Phelan chuckled: There is no shortage of money, and...

Just this morning, Woodward informed the coaching staff that Thomas Muller will transfer to Bayern Munich tomorrow for 60 million pounds. This money will be spent in the transfer market. This is a lot of money!

Keep watching. Sun Wu looked at the screen. Van Dijk's figure disappeared. The camera turned and a small player wearing a red and white jersey appeared. He passed through the ball deftly and sent a through ball as soon as Marseille turned around. , after cutting inside, he took out a curve ball with his left foot and went straight to the dead corner.

Everyone is familiar with this player because he played against Manchester United in the season that just ended.

Bernardo Silva, who was born in the Benfica youth training camp, plays as a left and right winger and can also play in the middle. He joined Monaco on loan last summer and was bought out after half a season. Mike Phelan introduced: Ganuza Yi is likely to leave, and with the transfer of Thomas Müller, he is a candidate for Best Prep.

Is he worth a lot?

Last season, he scored 10 goals and 5 assists in all competitions. His performance was very good. Monaco's buyout price was 15 million euros. Sun Wu shrugged. It is impossible to always buy Griezmann and Coleman. , Kanter is a very cost-effective star, but he is worth the money... no, he is worth the money.

These two people are the focus of our next work. Mike Phelan looked at assistant coach Kieran McKenna, who was promoted from U18. The scouting system will collect information, and Batty will send his deputy to lead a team. Take charge of the negotiations, and you and I will be involved.”

McKenna nodded. He is an old man from Manchester United. He has been coaching the Manchester United youth academy for a long time as early as the Ferguson period.

Sun Wu did not say anything. He was not good at this aspect. He picked up the remote control to fast forward and freeze. Two players appeared on the screen. One was the Hull City left back Andrew Robertson whom we had just talked about, and the other was a tall South American. players.

Felipe is basically hopeless. In addition to Robertson, we may still be able to buy him. Sun Wu pointed to the screen, Brazilian full-back Alex Sandro, who plays for Porto, was born in 1991 and has a lot of assists. Sharp and good defensively, the only problem is Porto...

Members of the coaching staff frowned. Porto is one of the most famous black shops in Europe.

Mike Phelan clapped his hands and said, Best will leave temporarily for a few days, but will keep in touch with the coaching staff. Now, let's get started.

Sun Wu picked up the phone, but put it down after hesitating for a moment. He felt that Lucas needed to be given time to calm down and think. Calling him in a hurry now might not be effective.

If it doesn't work, Milner performed quite well as a left back in Liverpool.
