Chapter 796 The Same Choice
During the intermission, in the stands of the Elyhard Stadium, the singing never stopped, but at this time, the singing had turned into boos.

Glancing outside, more and more noisy boos filled the sky, the Manchester City players standing in their positions were shouting in twos and threes, with a relaxed smile on their faces, captain David Silva was pointing at the empty other half and The coach was complaining to Mike Dean, and this scene cast a shadow over Zhan Jun's heart.

"Manchester United, are you afraid?"

"Manchester United, are you afraid?"

"Oh, oh, you are scared!"

The boos and impromptu mocking songs became louder and louder. At this moment, Sun Wu, wearing the captain's armband, walked out of the player tunnel. Behind him, Manchester City's coaching staff and players filed out.

The coaching staff and the substitute players were seated, and the players on the field quickly ran onto the lawn, while Sun Wu walked towards the Manchester City coaching bench.

"Josep, can't wait?" Sun Wu smiled while holding Guardiola's hand, "The Spaniards are actually punctual when there is no bullfight."

"Best, do you think this little trick will work?"

"If it works, the media will appreciate it. If it doesn't work and I lose the game, I will be criticized." Sun Wu shrugged, "Any method is the same, winner or loser, the head coach must bear such pressure, right? "

Guardiola stared at Sun Wu's eyes for a few seconds, then nodded slightly, turned around and walked away, wondering... what on earth is this guy trying to do!
Guardiola can't believe that Sun Wu did nothing in the face of such a passive situation in the first half. When he was working with Tottenham, Sun Wu, who was also an assistant coach, would often give his teammates some key details during the halftime break. Adjustment suggestions.

In this game, Sun Wu is the head coach.

"Okay, the second half of the game has started, and neither side has made personnel adjustments, which is a bit surprising." Zhan Jun commented: "Guardiola chose the double midfielders of Harvey Alonso and Fernandinho The combination seems a bit cautious, if you choose JD, you may be able to reverse the score in the first half."

"It is estimated that Jingdongan should have a chance to play." Zhang Lu shook his head and said: "But it depends on the situation... It is even more surprising that Sun Wu did not make adjustments on Manchester United... Wait and see this ball!"

The second half didn't even arrive for a minute, and Stones suddenly sent a long pass to Sterling from the backcourt... The precise long pass in the first half gave him confidence, but unfortunately this guy was too confident, Coleman completed the mid-air Intercepting, he headed the ball to Schneiderlin next to him.

"Go forward!"

Schneiderlin was hesitating when he heard the roar, he immediately volleyed a side kick and sent the ball to the frontcourt. Just after completing the pass or a clearance, Aguero had already shouldered Shi Nedrin knocked down.

After mentioning Schneiderlin, Sun Wu roared again, and raised his left hand high to make a tactical gesture.

Sun Wu gritted his teeth and walked forward, but he moved relatively cautiously and did not dare to leave the core area. After seeing Stones' long pass, he knew what Guardiola wanted to do.

The ball was handed over at the beginning. Obviously, Manchester City wanted to press high and quickly reverse the score.

Guardiola squinted on the sidelines, and Torrent beside him whispered: "They also want to press high..."

In the second half, both sides chose to start with a high position, and the game immediately became open, and the excitement and intensity were greatly improved.

"boom!"

The dirt and grass clippings from the spikes hit Sun Wu's face, and without hearing the whistle, Sun Wu immediately got up and rushed to David Schill, who had already passed the ball away after stealing the ball with his shoulder. Watts fly.

"Di!"

Mike Dean whistled Sun Wu for a foul, and gave a few warnings in a low voice. Sun Wu remained expressionless, stepped back and suddenly raised his hand to applaud the fans in the stands, and the stands responded immediately hiss.

After seven or eight minutes in the second half, Manchester City had committed six fouls or suspected fouls on Sun Wu. Zhan Jun couldn't help complaining: "Is this Guardiola or Mourinho, who actually used foul tactics, basically once a minute. "

Mike Phelan on the sidelines was hopping to complain to the fourth official, while Guardiola kept his mouth tightly shut. This was really not his instruction, but the choice of the players on the field.

Although Sun Wu also has friends in Manchester City, the attackers in the frontcourt have long been dissatisfied with Sun Wu, although this emotion is limited to the field of the court.

Look at the people staring at Sun Wu's feet, Aguero, Sterling, David Silva, Douglas Costa...

In the 56th minute, Coleman, who has been well-received for two seasons and has been stable, made his second mistake of the game. He was forced to the touchline by Sterling without a clean clearance, but tried to pick and pass to Thomas in front. Muller.

"Oh, Fei Bird steals the ball...point to Silva...a beautiful turn!"

David Silva's brilliant Marseille spin slid Sun Wu away, and then quickly played the ball to find Douglas Costa who came in on the other side, and the latter curved the ball with his left foot from 25 meters from the goal!
"The shot... wow! De Gea saves Manchester United again, fourth great save of the game by the Spanish goalkeeper!"

Douglas Costa hid his face in disbelief. This was the second time in the game that he came within a hair's breadth of a goal. Both times, De Gea was barely lifted off the crossbar.

Sun Wu glanced at the Brazilian winger. This guy is too explosive. He can overwhelm Rojo from the outside and finish Robben-style shots from the inside. It's really troublesome!

And Milner was still in the middle circle just now, and Schneiderlin was still on the other side just now... It's not that Schneiderlin lost his position, but that Manchester City's lateral transfer of the ball was too fast.

The key is the position of the midfielder. Although the offensive style is different from the first half, it still aims at the position of the midfielder. Guardiola really took advantage of it.

Sun Wu gritted his teeth and shook his head at the anxious Miguel and Jesús on the sidelines. He wanted to take another look.

In the 65th minute, Manchester City once again stole the ball from Coleman's feet. Sterling actually shouldered Coleman, who was much stronger than him!
Coleman, who was about to pass the ball, was carried and flew out of the sideline. Almost everyone thought it was a foul, but Mike Phelan didn't say anything.

Sterling quickly picked up the ball, attracted Schneiderlin and Alderweireld, and then crossed the middle. Aguero took the ball back and passed it back. Earl Jones passed by the foot, and Akun, who went back into the penalty area, took advantage of the situation and slammed the ball into the penalty area!
Sun Wu, who was returning to defense at high speed, stopped...Milner and Thomas Muller were rushing back with hope, but Sun Wu moved forward quietly.

Can't do anything now...

Sun Wu narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

"Brilliant one-two with the back...Aguero!"

"Shoot!"

"boom!"

The ball turned into white light and hit the crossbar above De Gea's head and bounced into the penalty area, and then David Silva rushed into the penalty area with a header.

"David de Gea!"

David Silva, who bent his waist to complete the supplementary shot, hammered the lawn in annoyance. Although he was not good at heading the ball, and the supplementary shot was a bit on-point, the opponent's compatriot reacted too quickly.

The next moment, a loud shout sounded in David Silva's ear.

"David, stop him!"

David Silva looked back in a daze, and De Gea, who was still lying on the ground holding the ball with both hands just now, was driving the ball to the frontcourt with a big kick!

"If Manchester United didn't lose, the best player in the game must be De Gea, the second reaction is too fast!"

Zhang Lu still had lingering fears, and Zhan Jun's high-pitched roar sounded suddenly.

"Bigfoot... Manchester United's counterattack!"
