The Greatest Performer on the Football Field

The press conference seemed a bit silent, and Klopp on the stage also felt a bit bored, because there was no one around him, and Sun Wu did not attend the pre-match press conference.

But Klopp then cursed in his heart that he was really a bitch, it would be a good thing not to come!

That guy's mouth is a sharp weapon, as powerful as half a foot. Blatter has appeared frequently in media reports recently, and without exception he is a villain.

The FA stipulates that head coaches must attend post-match press conferences, because in the early days there were often head coaches who missed post-match press conferences because their teams lost too badly or were dissatisfied with the penalties in the game. Mourinho, Ferguson, and Wenger All received fines for this.

However, the FA did not have clear regulations on pre-match press conferences. Sun Wu, who refused to be interviewed after the draw ceremony, disappointed the reporters in the audience.

In the locker room, the warm-up has ended, the double red meeting is about to happen, and the stands outside are already a sea of ​​red, and Best's Song and Never Walk Alone are played alternately.

More people support Manchester United. Rolf, who went to the pre-match press conference, muttered.

This is Old Trafford. Mike Phelan was a little surprised. Of course, Manchester United will have more supporters at home.

That's not what it means, Rolf explained: Except for the Liverpudlians, all the other journalists supported Manchester United.

Why? Sun Wu was also surprised.

Rolf glanced over with complicated eyes, They were afraid that Manchester United would lose...you refused to attend the post-match press conference.

Mike Phelan twitched the corners of his mouth and walked away silently. This kind of treatment...only Ferguson had ever had before.

…

Players from both sides have already walked out of the player tunnel. Manchester United's starting lineup has just been introduced. Zhan Jun lowered his head and looked at the information. Liverpool's starting lineup came out a little later.

“The goalkeeper is still Joe Hart, the defense is Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Matip and Robertson, the midfielders are N’Zonzi, Henderson and Shinji Kagawa, and the forwards are Gotze, Depay and Firmino.

This is Alexander-Arnold's first appearance for Liverpool. He comes from the Red Army's youth training. Piszczek was injured during the national team game and will miss several weeks.

It is worth noting that Manchester United's defense may face a lot of pressure today, and it has the same weaknesses as Liverpool...

Pawar.

Zhang Lu nodded in agreement and said: Sun Wu was recruited from Ligue 1 Lille. He originally played as a midfielder and was transformed into a full-back. He even played as a central defender in the warm-up match before the start of the season.

Yes, it's his first start this season.

After shaking hands with Klopp, Sun Wu ran onto the court and touched Pavard's curly hair. Benjamin, look at Lucas and Bernardo. Believe me, I selected you because you are good enough.

Pavard was the quietest of the new players, even quieter than the taciturn Kante. After hearing these words, he only nodded slightly and did not speak.

Beep!

This double red meeting finally kicked off, and Manchester United kicked off first.

Sun Wu deliberately retreated, allowing the defender who was participating in the Double Red Club for the first time to frequently receive the ball. This was the first time for the entire defense to participate in the Double Red Club.

Liverpool did not press high from the start. After several smooth passes from the backcourt, Pavard received the ball.

At this time, Liverpool's midfield suddenly accelerated. Depay rushed towards Pavard. Firmino moved forward and blocked Pavard's return route. Shinji Kagawa and Henderson were in position at the same time. Gotze even rushed towards Goalkeeper De Gea.

Danger!

But Pavard didn't seem to panic at all. Faced with Depay's pressing, he turned around to protect the ball and passed the ball across to find Sun Wu who ran over to meet him.

Behind him, Shinji Kagawa was pressing hard, but Sun Wu cleverly flicked the outside of his left foot and was knocked down.

There were boos in the stands, but they soon turned to applause.

Bernardo Silva, who retreated, received Sun Wu's pass. Although Henderson and Robertson both pressed forward, the Portuguese stopped the ball and leaned back.

Pavard bypassed Depay from the sideline and took the ball away. There was an open space in front of him!

This is the difference between Pavard and Coleman. He can move forward quickly by passing and receiving the ball. Although he is not fast, he can grasp the timing of forward movement very accurately.

Just when Lovren saved the ball in the penalty area, Pavard sent a 45-degree cross. Harry Kane at the front point failed to hit the ball under the pressure of Matip, and the ball at the back point was blocked. Rizman volleyed with his left foot!

Cross...Kane...Oh oh, Griezmann!

Shoot... no, it's a return pass!

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!”

Darren Fletcher, only 6 minutes into the game, Manchester United succeeded in their first attack. Fletcher received a pass from Griezmann in the penalty area and scored with his left foot!

Griezmann has been Manchester United's top scorer for two consecutive years and is naturally the most feared figure in Liverpool. He attracted Arnold's attention and then dunked past his opponent. Facing Nzonzi who was returning to defense, Griezmann lightly passed the ball back. Fletcher, inserted in the back row, made the final decision.

Mike Phelan and Rolfe high-fived each other on the sidelines. This goal proved the ability of the coaching staff.

No one knows whether the new tactical system will be effective, but in this goal, Sun Wu only touched the ball once and was not deeply involved. However, Pavard's forward pass, Harry Kane and Griez Mann's layered movement and Fletcher's conscious forward penetration both proved the feasibility of the new tactical system.

Sun Wu hugged Pavar hard. Seeing the shy look of the young man, he smiled and kissed him hard on the cheek... Tsk, Pavar blushed.

Look at this cross, it's so beautiful! Mortensen praised: Manchester United has found their Gary Neville!

Among Manchester United players, Pavard's average statistics are not particularly top-notch, but he has high statistics and decisiveness, which means that his timing is often correct.

Pavard made the right choice when he stepped forward to take the ball and chose the right time to pass the ball. He happened to be at the moment when Lovren stepped out of the penalty area and Nzonzi had not yet retreated in place.

Manchester United's start couldn't have been smoother. After the restart, Sun Wu commanded the front of the formation and began to press high. Kante became the most eye-catching one.

Shinji Kagawa...Kante steals the ball, no foul, no foul!

Silva... oh oh, passed the ball with his right foot, Harry Kane headed the ball over the top... Joe Hart made a divine save!

Beautiful tackle...from Kante again, he is simply the second Makelele!

Best made a through ball and Pavard made a pass... Oh, he dunked past Robertson and passed back in an inverted triangle!

Kante's shot... Hahaha, Kante is indeed the second Makelele, look at this shot!

Returning to Manchester United two years ago, Mike Phelan watched with his own eyes as Pochettino and Sun Wu brought Manchester United back to the top of the Premier League. Many players he was familiar with left Old Trafford.

Ferdinand, Vidic, Valencia, Ashley Young, Smalling, Evans, Rooney, Hernandez, Welbeck...

Although sad, Mike Phelan has no regrets.

Watching Kante, Bernardo Silva, Pavard, Lucas, and Van Dijk perform so well on the court, Mike Phelan is full of confidence in Manchester United for the next ten years. They will be Old Trafford The protagonist of Germany!
