The Greatest Performer on the Football Field

Sun Wu is no stranger to CCTV arranging a team to shoot, having appeared as early as Schalke 04.

However, when the team arrived at the Carrington base, Sun Wu was dumbfounded. This was a very large team of more than 15 people. There were three sets of special shooting equipment, which meant that they were divided into three groups...

It won't affect your normal work. The person in charge, Xu Kun, a bald, fat man, said with sweat profusely: But, if you fly to Italy tomorrow, can we follow you?

Uh, okay. Sun Wu waved to the equipment manager, You can discuss matters related to the shooting content...

No problem, you go ahead and do your work first. Xu Kun said very familiarly.

Sun Wu returned to the training ground, and now he is conducting confrontation training. As the common core of the two teams, he is responsible for organizing the offense.

Fletcher made a cross pass in the midfield, and Sun Wu, who ran over to catch the ball, lost his rhythm. His right foot that touched the ball suddenly applied force, and the ball flew towards a medium-sized gap in the middle.

Lingard forced a breakthrough and broke De Gea's wicket with a toe shot before Van Dijk made a tackle.

Bah bang bang... Sun Wu applauded from behind, his eyes falling on Alderweireld and Van Dijk. The two people neither reached a consensus nor formed a tacit understanding.

Tsk tsk, that is to say, Manchester United has many central defenders this summer. In addition to the five real ones, Fabinho, Lucas, and Pavard can also make guest appearances when necessary.

Sun Wu made up his mind to grind them out even if they were grinding.

The next day, Manchester United flew to Rome, Italy, where they would challenge Roma Wolves at the Stadio Olimpico.

The first game was tied by PSV. For this game, Manchester United vowed to take all three points, while Roma defeated Wolfsburg 1-0 in the first round and currently ranks first in the standings.

Van Dijk was placed on the bench in this game, and Alderweireld and Phil Jones, the main central defender pairing last season, started.

The midfielder is still Fletcher, Kanter and Sun Wu. Falcao, who is experienced in European games, starts in the frontcourt. Behind him are Griezmann and Mane.

…

Hearing the crazy shouts outside, Sun Wu curled his lips. Because of the weakness of Roma and Lazio in previous seasons, this was his first time coming to this stadium.

But now Rome is rising,

There are many famous players in the team, many of whom Sun Wu is familiar with.

Sun Wu turned around and glanced at Nainggolan, who was covered in tattoos. In fact, this half-Asian Belgian was quite in line with Sun Wu’s tactical system. He was good at offense and defense and replaced the aging Fletcher. Best candidate.

Unfortunately, Nainggolan has a bad temper and has bad habits of smoking and drinking. Sun Wu consulted Alderweireld, who strongly recommended not to introduce him.

Tsk tsk, it’s a good thing that Sun Wu didn’t do anything. Just a month ago, Nainggolan publicly posted a photo on social networking sites holding a cigarette in one hand and a beer in the other.

However, there is no doubt about Nainggolan's personal ability. With Roma's strong defense, he became a weapon in Roma's counterattack.

Although Falcao opened the scoring with a corner kick in just 8 minutes, in the 15th minute, Florenzi intercepted the ball from the backcourt and passed the ball long. Dzeko beat Phil Jones and headed the ball. The former Arsenal Winger Gervinho's breakthrough was blocked.

Nainggolan moved forward in time to grab the ball before Kante. He turned around and faced Alderweireld, his national teammate who was pressing forward. He moved the ball to the side without any fancy, and then took off directly. Long shot.

Kante didn't intercept the ball... Nainggolan... broke through... no, he shot directly!

Goooooooooooooooooooal!

The Italian commentator shouted: Nainggolan scored from long range for the third time this season, and Roma equalized the score!

De Gea, whose sight was blocked by Alderweireld, looked helpless. When he saw the ball flying towards the far corner, it was too late to make a save.

The angle of the shot wasn't too tricky, but it was very fast and hit the ground. Although De Gea stretched his legs quickly enough, he still couldn't stop it.

Sun Wu smacked his lips. On the one hand, this was because Roma's counterattack was obviously deliberate, and on the other hand, it was because the two midfielders in Manchester United's midfield did not have a tacit understanding when switching offense and defense.

Fletcher had just moved forward into the penalty area in an attempt to grab a point, but Mane broke through from the wing and was intercepted. Florenzi sent a long pass without any hesitation. Kanter, who had just returned to his position, was unable to catch up with Nain when he went back to make up for it. Golan.

From another perspective, this was also Sun Wu's mistake in his formation. He did not expect Roma to be so shameless and the defensive formation was so densely compressed. Mane needed a certain amount of space to break through. In this case, Shaqiri and B Seats are more suitable.

However, Sun Wu was not affected by this conceded goal, and the overall strength gap between the two teams was a bit large.

After asking Fletcher to pay attention to protecting the backcourt, Sun Wu directed the team's overall formation to press forward and start a high-position press. The Roma backcourt was in a panic and everyone was in a panic.

In the 23rd minute, Sun Wu sent a cross from the left. Roma defender Rudiger headed the ball to clear the ball, but the ball fell to Sun Wu again.

Sun Wu took a step inward and waved his left foot again at the ribs. After Florenzi came forward, Sun Wu took the ball and cut inside laterally, using a fried ball to pass De Rossi who was filling in.

Best...oh, he passed De Rossi...

Nainggolan...Best direct pass?

Griezmann...shoot!

Goooooooooooooooooooal!

Griezmann helps Manchester United take the lead again!

Seeing Griezmann and Sun Wu running to the sidelines, the Roma players were very frustrated. They had done their best. Nainggolan, who was filling in, took a false kick and looked unhappy.

A very beautiful combination. This is also the most common Sun-Wu grid connection in Manchester United in recent years. Zhan Jun praised: Falcao deliberately entered the small penalty area to make the Roma defense retreat, and Nainggolan's replacement was very timely. , but Sun Wu sent the assist in an unconventional way.

In the replay on the screen, Sun Wu, who cut in from the left, passed De Rossi. Then, under Nainggolan's close pressure, the outside of his left foot suddenly flicked, and the ball fell to Flo, who was brought in all the way. Behind Renzi.

Griezmann, who cooperated tacitly, appeared quietly behind Florenzi. Before Rudiger could get down to block, he immediately volleyed with his left foot into the far corner and succeeded.

Mike Phelan on the sidelines was writing and drawing on a tactical board. This routine was the product of Sun Wu and Griezmann's inspiration, and it can be re-harmonized on the training ground later.

It seems that it is simply Sun Wu and Griezmann connecting, but in fact Falcao in the penalty area restrained many Roma defenders, and his movement was just right to prevent Griezmann from being in an offside position. Mane He walked out of the penalty area and appeared directly in front of Sun Wu. It was he who attracted Nainggolan's attention and gave Sun Wu the opportunity to send a reverse pass.

However, not only Nainggolan, but also the home fans were unconvinced by this goal, because it was difficult to tell whether Griezmann was offside with the naked eye.

However, ten minutes later, the Olympic Stadium was silent. I don’t know if Nainggolan was convinced. At least the home fans were convinced in those few seconds.
