The Greatest Performer on the Football Field

The training ground at Carrington Base.

Sun Wu conducts normal training like other players. The division of labor among the coaching staff is very clear. Assistant coach Rolf and physical coach Reuthard are responsible for leading the team training.

On the training ground, Sun Wu needs to complete the training content like other players. He will only correct his teammates' movements and game details during confrontation training.

Best, did you bring that dog? Van Dijk looked curiously at Erha, who had a serious face on the sidelines and stuck out his tongue.

Well, I brought it here specially. Sun Wu glanced at Phil Jones who was running a lap lightly, then stretched his fingers to his mouth and whistled loudly.

Erha turned his head and looked, and then rushed out to catch up. Phil Jones, who was slowly working as a foreigner, immediately cursed Sun Wu and ran away...

Sun Wu really didn't expect that the first person to be late for training this season would be Phil Jones. This guy is a mama's boy and has to go back to Lancashire every day except match days.

Although Phil Jones sincerely apologized and explained that there was a traffic jam in Manchester today, Sun Wu simply asked him to run a lap, one lap a minute.

Bernardo Silva twitched the corners of his mouth, Best, I heard that Phil and you both came from the Blackburn youth academy?

Well, I asked Xitong to bite him because he was a friend. Sun Wu nodded, For example, Draxler during Schalke 04.

Hearing this, Griezmann, Fletcher and Coleman all quietly walked away a few steps. Sun Wu patted Bernardo Silva on the shoulder, We are all friends, right?

Then, Sun Wu was speechless as he saw the Portuguese's loyalty suddenly drop by three points.

…

After the training, Sun Wu began his formal work as the head coach.

It's impossible for me to be at full attendance, I'm really not a robot! Sun Wu waved his hand, In Wolfsburg there are Josue and Misimovic, in Schalke 04 there is Rakitic, in Tottenham have Modric, and they also had Motta, Pogba and Herrera in the previous two seasons.

So the key to the problem is not Best's suspension, but Herrera's injury. Mike Phelan nodded and looked at Dr. Swale.

The MRI came out, and it will take at least two months to recover the diagnosis. Dr. Swale held up the report in his hand, Luke Xiao is a little better.

He will be back in the middle of next month.

The last round of testing Lingard was very poor, so we can only choose Bernardo Silva. Rolf sighed, But the Portuguese is different from you. He is a typical forward when he shifts to the center. The threat of the waist is greatly reduced once it retreats, a bit like Misimovich back then.

Oh, he's here. Sun Wu stood up and gestured to Bernardo Silva, and the two went to the lounge next door, which became a special place for Sun Wu to talk with the players.

Once a starter, once a substitute, how do you feel? Sun Wu carefully pulled out a disc from the cabinet.

Although I expected that the pace of the Premier League would be fast, I am still a little uncomfortable with it. Bernardo Silva was a little helpless. The physical contact is very frequent, and the team's tactics have high requirements for on-the-spot counterattacks... these They all need to adapt.”

Sun Wu nodded repeatedly, Then... do you prefer to play as a winger or in the middle?

Seeing that the other party was silent for a while, Sun Wu continued: Last season in Monaco, you played as a right winger... uh, or right midfielder is more suitable.

Well, I don't really like hugging. There's no advantage in speed.

What about the middle?

Haha, my idol when I was a child was Rui Costa. Bernardo Silva said with a wry smile: But when I grew up, I realized that there is no such pure classical midfielder in modern football.

After tilting his head and considering his words, Sun Wucai said: Generally speaking, I will be the core of the team. I am responsible for organizing, controlling the rhythm, directing the team's formation changes, and responsible for the direction of the attack. Of course, I need to be responsible now. There are more things...

When I missed a game last season, it was Herrera who was in charge of organizing, which means he was Plan B.

Now he is injured and I am suspended. Sun Wu smiled: Bernardo, I hope you can become another plan B.

Another Plan B?

You can appear in the midfielder position to organize the attack, or you can play in the midfielder position and move in, leaving the wing to Coleman or Pavard behind you. Sun Wu explained in detail: The former is when I am absent. Plan, the latter is a plan for you and me to appear at the same time.

Bernardo Silva frowned and thought for a while before tentatively asking: Change?

To be precise, it is not a change of position, but a constant exchange of positions while running, just like the Danube River. Sun Wu quickly took the tactical board and set up the formation, Your position will be very flexible, and you will receive the pass from the left at the back point. In the middle, with the cooperation of me, Kane and even Griezmann, he can also appear in the middle or even the left, or in the penalty area...

Seeing Sun Wu's excitement, Bernardo Silva smiled bitterly and said: It takes time to get used to it. Just training on running routes is very difficult, and training alone is ineffective.

Of course, you will start as a midfielder in tomorrow's game. You don't need to worry about the outcome of the game. Sun Wu said with a smile: Bernardo, you are the most special one among Manchester United's midfielders. You don't have to worry about lack of playing time. , you are an important part of the club's long-term plan...I even hope that your agent can come to me as soon as possible.

What are you looking for?

Of course it's a salary increase and contract renewal! Sun Wu pushed the CD over, This is a gift for you.

This is?

Highlights of Manchester City's David Silva's game training. He may be one of the best midfielders in the world. Sun Wu blinked, The key reason why I am so good is... I never relax in learning and training. .”

Sun Wu is very satisfied with the result of this conversation. The Portuguese's loyalty is second only to Kante among the new players.

August 15th, Old Trafford.

In the second round of the Premier League, Manchester United was tied 0-0 by Newcastle United.

Sun Wu on the sidelines was really helpless. In fact, Manchester United played really well, but they were a bit unlucky.

The offensive line composed of Ayose Perez, Wijnaldum, and Obertan was completely unable to put pressure on Manchester United's defense. Van Dijk and Michael Keane, who started for the first time this season, performed calmly and impeccably.

Although Kanter and Fletcher did not provide much help in offensive organization, and Bernardo Silva still needs time to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, Sun Wu has also made full preparations.

The two wingers, Lucas and Coleman, pressed forward very strongly. Shaqiri and Griezmann frequently pulled wide. It was difficult for Newcastle United midfielder Tiote to stop Fletcher and Bernardo Schier. Watt's impact in the middle.

Sun Wu had no problem with his tactical deployment, but Harry Kane missed consecutive opportunities in the first half, and once even hit the goal post three meters away from the goal.

In the second half, Sun Wu replaced Milner and Mane, pushed Griezmann to the center position, and asked Bernardo Silva to drop back to see if he could stretch Newcastle United's defense.

But Pardu was completely shameless today and just wanted to take away one point. Except for replacing Cisse to see if there was a chance for a sneak attack, the other players used to strengthen the defense.

In stoppage time, Van Dijk had a chance to score his first goal, but unfortunately his header was blocked by Dutch goalkeeper Krul, who had the highest rating in the game after the game.

After two rounds of the league in the new season, one loss and one draw. The fans didn't say anything, but the media has already started to get excited, because Sun Wu will return in the next round of the Premier League, and Manchester United's opponent is Tottenham led by Pochettino. prick.
