Chapter 1060
"boom!"

Sun Wu rushed forward and knocked Ross, who had slipped into the inside from the bottom line, ignoring Marina's verbal warning. He turned around and glared at Salah, making a gesture of defense.

"A very timely foul." Mortensen praised: "If it was a little bit worse, Rose would have entered the penalty area."

I have to admit that after letting go of his hands and feet, the Tottenham team built by Pochettino showed a strong offensive strength and put a lot of pressure on Manchester United's defense.

Sun Xingmin cut in and broke through, Eriksson and Mata could play a variety of ingenious cooperation, Ali's elusive change of position, of course, the most important thing is that Trippier and Rose on the two wings made a lot of breakthroughs.

In terms of comprehensive ability, in the Premier League full-back combination, Manchester United's Lucas, Pavard or Coleman, Manchester City's Walker and Baines, Liverpool's Arnold and Robertson are all top-notch, and Trippier and Rose are incompatible. They are compared.

But in terms of offensive power, this pair of Tottenham full-backs is not inferior to anyone. Rose has a strong breakthrough ability after being plugged in from the back row. Trippier's cross is an important weapon for Tottenham's wing attack.

Coupled with the fact that Lukaku, Ali, and Eriksson put a lot of pressure on Manchester United in the middle, the loopholes in the wing can only be made up by the two wingers Griezmann, Salah and even Sun Wu. It made Manchester United more and more passive.

In the 67th minute, Trippier showed his unique stunt.

Ali lost the ball in the frontcourt and fought back. In the chaos, Lukaku took the ball and passed it back to Eriksson. The Dane waved his foot and sent a 30-meter oblique pass.

This long pass was accurately found behind Lucas, but the flight path was too straight, and it seemed that it would fly directly out of the baseline.

But Trippier accelerated from the outside and finally jumped up, volleying the ball into the penalty area with the inside of his right foot.

This is a major feature of Trippier's crosses. He rarely makes adjustments and usually sends the ball directly into the penalty area. The quality is often not low. Obviously, this is a routine that Tottenham has repeatedly honed on the training ground.

Lukaku, who turned around and sprinted, was only followed by Van Dijk. Both of them stretched out their feet but no one touched them. Ali, who was behind, leaned on Alderweireld and stretched out his feet to shoot.

"A direct pass to...Ali!"

"Goalposts... and... Son Heung-min!"

"The goal was scored." Zhan Jun said disappointedly: "Manchester United still failed to withstand Tottenham's offensive. Sun Xingmin scored a goal for Tottenham."

"There is a lot of pressure on the side road." Zhang Lu hit the nail on the head.

Sun Wu also saw this. Although Eriksson, Mata, and Ali are all active in the center and ribs, they mainly put pressure on Manchester United's center, making Fabinho and Kanter unable to free their hands to assist. On the wing, Rose and Trippier have sent high-quality crosses more than once or twice.

And today, Lucas, who has made great contributions with one pass and one shot, has become a weakness. His problem is not his ability or state, but that he got a yellow card for his high-post press to bring down Rose 10 minutes ago.

So when Eriksson sent a pick pass just now, Lucas did not dare to reach out and pull Trippier, causing the latter to make a volley pass.

Adjustments are required.

How to adjust?

Under normal circumstances, Luke Shaw should be used to replace Lucas, and then try to press the opponent back with a wing attack, but Sun Wu is never the kind of person who follows the rules, whether as a player or as a coach.

The Tottenham players quickly brought the ball back to the center circle and waited for the kick-off, but the live broadcaster found Sun Wu who was running to the sidelines, and the Manchester United players were also watching closely. Are they going to change formation?

"Manchester United... want to replace?" Mortensen paused and said in surprise, "Rojo, who does Best want to replace?"

Salah was a little surprised. He didn't have much objection to being adjusted off. Now there are too many good players in the Manchester United team. Sun Wu told him privately a few months ago that the playing time should be based on everyone's state and on the field. Depends on the situation.

The current Salah is not the later "Pharaoh", he is not qualified to play big names, but for being replaced by Rojo...

"Didi!" Marina blew his whistle twice to urge Sun Wu on the sidelines. This situation really made him helpless.

Sun Wu raised his hand and ran back to the field. Herrera, who was on the bench, ran down and tore off his vest.

"Manchester United replaced two people at once." Zhan Jun frowned and said: "Rojo replaced Salah, and Herrera replaced Kante."

"I don't understand." Zhang Lu said hey twice, "Sun Wu is trying to defend with all his strength?"

"It's only one goal away, and Tottenham will definitely attack with all their strength. It's a bit difficult to defend to the end, and there are still more than 20 minutes." Zhan Jun carefully observed the situation on the field, "Marina whistled... let's see Manchester United players The position may change."

Sun Wu may be the only one in the world to change formation during the game. This is related to his body attachment system. You must know that this is not a temporary formation adjustment like Dell retreating, but a complete change.

Pochettino also stood on the sidelines and looked carefully with his hands in his pockets. Then he looked at Mike Phelan and Rolf in confusion... Is this 352?I haven't seen Best used before!

It is true that it has not appeared in the game before, but it has appeared in the training ground of the Carrington base.

In fact, the 352 formation is rarely seen in European football today, and even double forwards are rarely seen in wealthy teams.

The three strikers in the frontcourt are the most popular in European football today. The positions are scattered, the width of the field is used to the maximum extent, and the distance between the players is kept close, which is of great help to the technical style of play.

The most important thing is that in a big matchup, once there is a stalemate on the field and the opponent's winger and full-back are pressed into the 30-meter area at the same time, the 352 formation does not have players who specialize in marking the full-back, but today Rose and Teddy Ripier is in excellent form, no wonder Mike Phelan's face is not very good-looking.

But in the next seven or eight minutes, Manchester United's defense gradually stabilized. The reason is simple. The two seemingly premised Coleman and Lucas did not move forward at all, and firmly guarded the two wings. , Rose will go forward and hand it over to the corresponding full-back, and Fabinho will retreat into the penalty area to fill the gap.

The center has always maintained a system of three central defenders. Eriksson and Mata tried to infiltrate from the center several times but failed. It is difficult for Trippier to get a cross.

Rose and Sun Xingmin on the other side created several opportunities, but the crosses were all cleared by Fabinho and Van Dijk in the middle.

It seemed that Tottenham were besieging Manchester United, but Zidane and Patrick in the stands instinctively felt a hint of danger.

Patrick did not believe that Sun Wu's adjustment was just for defense, and Zidane was sensitive to the fact that Manchester United had accumulated too many good players in the middle.

Zidane's intuition is correct, and Sun Wu's choice is to go straight!
