Chapter 890 The Only Answer

5 month 14 number.

Anfield Stadium.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"Coutinho equalized the score in a super world wave, Liverpool still have a chance!"

"One more goal and Liverpool can send the game into extra time!"

Flags were flying in the stands of the KOP, and shirtless Red Army fans were singing "Never Walk Alone" in unison.

They were soon disappointed, however, as Enrique replaced Iniesta with Toni Kroos and three minutes later the German midfielder's left-footed effort from outside the box blew past Joe Hart.

"Enrique's adjustment effect is very good, 2 to 1, 4 to 2 in two rounds..." The Spanish commentator said with a smile: "Look who is this?"

The live camera captured two figures, and Sun Wu was chatting with Pochettino and whispering.

"Enrique must be upset that he can't go to the Manchester United-Dortmund game, but they can watch the Barcelona-Liverpool game." The voice of the Spanish commentator rose, "Four years later, Barcelona is playing again. Against Best, Messi is ready."

Sun Wu soon found that he and Pochettino were caught by the camera, because there were already Liverpool fans yelling at this side.

Anyway, there is nothing to see, Sun Wu and Pochettino quickly left Anfield, but they were surrounded by reporters outside.

At the press conference after the double play against Dortmund yesterday, Tuchel claimed without hesitation that the club would file a complaint... Not only was he eliminated, but Royce was seriously injured. Don't even think about the German Cup final at the end of the month. They may not be able to catch up with the opener of next season in a few months.

However, Schneiderlin was not punished in any way, and the referee on duty was too slow to make a penalty, which was condemned by the major media. "Catalia Sport" suggested that UEFA impose a suspension on Schneiderlin...

Sun Wu was also worried in his heart. Schneiderlin's serious foul actually reflected his weakness. Although he made a fierce attack, his sense of position was inferior.

In terms of personal ability, Schneiderlin is currently Manchester United's weakest point, and it is impossible for Enrique not to see it.

In Enrique's tactical system, he pays great attention to the advancement speed of the midfield. In this case, Schneiderlin's sense of position will become the focus of Barcelona's attack.

Therefore, the focus of the discussion between Sun Wu and Pochettino today is whether to use Fletcher or Herrera next to Schneiderlin.

But it's really a discussion, not an argument, and both Sun Wu and Pochettino are hesitating.

Fletcher's defensive coverage is wider, the assist defense is excellent, and the sudden advance can also create threats.

Although Herrera's defensive level is slightly inferior, he has a low center of gravity and is flexible in turning around, and has the toughness of the Basques. Provide help to Sun Wu.

While Sun Wu and Pochettino were surrounded by reporters, an important conversation took place at the Carrington base.

"Hmm." Mike Phelan gave an affirmative answer to Woodward's question, "Best is in charge of the tactical arrangements after losing the ball, player changes and even substitutions."

"Including Mane's activities in the ribs, giving way to Coleman on the right, and insisting on attacking after the equalizer..."

"Of course, Mane's substitution was also Best's choice... and in that derby match, Best made a completely different tactical deployment from Pochettino at halftime, and everyone knows the result... "

David Gill smiled, "I agree with this very much, tears and blood, this is the difference between Manchester City and Manchester United... Haha, Alex thinks so too."

Ferguson looked like he had nothing to do with himself, "Ed, this is your responsibility. Neither David nor I will give a clear answer."

Woodward gritted his teeth and asked, "If he refuses, is it possible for Best to leave?"

Neither Ferguson nor David Gill spoke. Mike Phelan hesitated and replied: "If you refuse, the first thing we need to consider is who to hire..."

"The coach who can suppress Best..." Ferguson shook his head, "Ed, why did Best come to Manchester United after I retired?"

Woodward was stunned for a while, "That is to say, we have to choose between him and the head coach?"

Ferguson still didn't speak. If he hadn't retired, he would have kicked Best away, but now...

Although Ferguson maintained the No.1 status for a long time during his coaching period, he also saw clearly that now the club can change the head coach frequently, but cannot frequently change the core of the team.

In this era, the coach's personal influence and worth cannot be compared with a superstar of Best's level.

In other words, there is actually only one choice for Manchester United.

"Yes, it's either him or the head coach." David Gill shrugged, "Of course, Best gave the only answer, he will be the head coach."

Woodward murmured, "The risk is too great..."

"No matter who you hire, there are always risks." Mike Phelan is now firmly on Sun Wu's side.

Seeing that Woodward was still hesitating, Ferguson yawned and looked at his watch, "Cathy should be preparing dinner, I don't want to hear her loud voice again...Ed, you have to be clear, before you The question before us is, what if Best coaches and the record is poor?"

Woodward nodded repeatedly.

"A good record is the best, but a bad record... You don't need to wait for the transfer window to change to a head coach." Ferguson said with a curled lip: "If the record is bad, Best will obediently be a player."

Woodward's eyes lit up, and he was right. If Best's coaching record is poor, then the club hires a new head coach. What reason does he have to object?

"Maybe I can contact Simeone or Mourinho first..." Such thoughts swirled in Woodward's mind.

Mike Phelan looked down at his phone, "The game is over, it's Barcelona."

"I really hope that Best can kill Barcelona!" Ferguson muttered and got up and walked out, "Mike, I heard that Best has prepared a special gift for Barcelona?"

"It's the S-shaped free kick against Arsenal." Mike Phelan sighed: "It's a pity that it was exposed, but Griezmann and Best have other ideas..."

On the way back to Manchester, Sun Wu and Pochettino also received news, but the miracle did not happen.

In this semi-final, Iniesta took the lead to score. In the second half, Coutinho equalized the score, but Kroos, who came off the bench, made two long-range shots. Barcelona beat Liverpool 2-1, 3-1. .

Just after returning home, Sun Wu received a call from Busquets.

Even Sun Wu didn't know how Busquets had the face to call and provoke him!

A total of three times against Barcelona, ​​two wins and one draw, never lost, it should be you guys who are uneasy!
