Chapter 1063 Arrived in Milan
On the day of the flight to Milan, Italy, the Manchester United club held a brief press conference on the morning of May 5th, announcing the signing of a new five-year contract with Sun Wu and the coaching team. Sun Wu's annual salary is as high as 24 million euros , ranked second in the world after Guardiola.

The media didn’t feel much about this except for the big reports. The 22-game winning streak in the league, the league championship, the FA Cup championship, the Club World Cup championship, and reaching the Champions League final, such a record deserves a new high-standard contract .

In the afternoon, the Manchester United team flew to Milan. The 24-man roster for the Champions League has been released. Real Madrid's first team has been selected. In fact, there are only 23 players in the Real Madrid first team.

And Manchester United needed to deduct one person. In the end, Sun Wu screened out Rashford, who was born in Manchester United's local youth training. Mane couldn't get a stable starting position.

Sun Wu is very familiar with this Real Madrid team, very, very familiar, because he knows that starting from this Champions League champion, Zidane led Real Madrid to start a three consecutive championships that shocked countless people.

Therefore, since the beginning of the season, Sun Wu has studied every game of Real Madrid with heart, but the more he watched, the more he thought... The more confused his mind became, Qi Xuanzong really didn't have any surprises in tactics.

In general, Zidane's Real Madrid pays attention to the balance of offense and defense, and there is no weakness in each position. Defensively, Navas has completely secured the main position this season. Casillas has been sold. Central defender Ramos will definitely Occupying one main position, the other is Varane competing with Pepe, but the former is said to be injured.

The combination of the upper side and the center of the attack is very good. The mid-range and long-range pass scheduling of Kroos and Modric is very important. Marcelo and Carvajal on the two wings have excellent personal abilities.

Of course, the most important thing is that the frontcourt is the BBC.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored 36 league goals this season. Although he failed to get the top scorer, he sent 15 assists, which is a new high for assists since he came to Real Madrid.

Gareth Bale also played a phenomenal performance this season. Although he was absent for nearly three months due to a serious injury, he also showed 22 goals and 12 assists in all competitions.

But what Sun Wu pays most attention to is Benzema, who has the lowest reputation and the least statistics in the BBC. It is unbelievable that he only scored 9 goals in the league this season, and only 15 goals in all competitions...

This tall center may seem inconspicuous, but he is the most critical piece in Real Madrid's frontcourt offense. He retreats to catch the ball, pulls the side to support, and runs without the ball to open up space for his teammates. He does the dirty work in these offenses. No complaints or regrets.

"Take a break, we'll be there soon." Rolf next to him saw that Sun Wu was still recording something in his notebook, "By the way, did Tony contact you?"

"He vowed to take revenge." Sun Wu smiled. Kroos had a difficult time in Barcelona, ​​and then came to the Bernabeu Stadium, and then beat Pogba to become the absolute main force. He and Modric, Kace The midfield composed of Miro can be called the first class in Europe.

But for Kroos’s revenge... Sun Wu held back on the phone and didn’t go back. From Leverkusen to Bayern Munich, and then to Barcelona, ​​how many times have Kroos tried to get revenge, but unfortunately he didn’t succeed even once. .

Sun Wu and Real Madrid have played against each other twice, in the group stage of the second season of Schalke 04 and the one-eighth knockout match of last season. Sun Wu has two wins, two draws and no defeat in all four games .

And in those two seasons, Sun Wu eventually led the team to lift the Big Ears Cup...

Looking down at the various numbers on the tactical map drawn in the notebook, Sun Wu twisted his mouth. There used to be a few friends here, but unfortunately most of them disappeared from the friend list one after another.

For example, Ronaldo disappeared from Sun Wu's friend list after Manchester United defeated Real Madrid 7-5 in the one-eighth knockout match last season, and Gareth Bale disappeared with him.

Kroos also disappeared, which happened after the Champions League final last year. In fact, since then, he did not contact Sun Wu for the first time until yesterday.

Sun Wu's partner Modric is still on Sun Wu's friend list so far. This is also one of the Real Madrid players Sun Wu is most concerned about.

In a sense, Modric is a perfect midfielder, whether it is a short pass or a long pass, whether it is supporting the side or dribbling the ball in the middle, whether it is going forward to threaten the goal or retreating to control the rhythm, this Croatian The midfielders are all top-notch, and he has a long-range shot that makes people bloody, and he even has a very strong defensive level.

Unless it is a long-distance attack by one person, even Ronaldo and Bell must build on the basis of Modric if they want to have an outstanding appearance. This Croatian is recognized by the Manchester United coaching staff as the most troublesome opponent.

Unlike the match against last season, now with Kroos who has excellent organizational skills, Modric can free up his hands. He has a wide coverage on the court, and his position on the court can largely show that Zidane within the tactical intent.

"Best, put it away, it's about to land." Rolf elbowed Sun Wu, "We've been researching for many days."

"Look, that's the San Siro Stadium." Mike Phelan pointed, "I hope it's not that bad!"

The Meazza Stadium and the San Siro Stadium are actually a stadium. Mike Phelan called it San Siro because of the second leg of the Champions League semi-final many years ago. Manchester United defeated Kaka 3-2 in the first leg, but the second leg 0 to 3 defeat, the mud on the pitch made Manchester United players suffer.

For the UEFA Champions League final at San Siro, Sun Wu's deepest impression of it is the rotten turf. Many people think that it is not a special turf at all, but a "vegetable field".

When Sun Wu played against Inter Milan and AC Milan in the Champions League group stage in Wolfsburg and Schalke 04 respectively, he once experienced it... very bad. In some areas, Sun Wu did not dare to speed up. Once he accelerated, he would fall That's all good, you'll sprain your ankle if you're not careful.

And these two teams often have a good record in their home games in the Champions League. This piece of mud has contributed a lot, but later the two teams have more and more injuries, which is also thanks to this piece of mud gift of the land.

But Sun Wu checked the information at the beginning of the season... no, after the Champions League final last season, he checked the information, and even asked someone to inquire about it.

In 2013, the Meazza Stadium started the turf reconstruction plan. It is said that it is divided into three layers. The bottom layer is fine sand drainage layer, the middle layer is 5 cm artificial turf mixed with natural turf, and the top layer is 2 cm natural grass. For the lawn, the entire construction took more than a year and was not completed until the end of 2014.

Sun Wu pondered in his heart, the first thing after getting the accommodation is to go to the stadium to have a look. If he is not used to it, he needs to apply for more on-site adaptation time.
