Chapter 895 Big List

On May 5th, Manchester United first arrived in Berlin, Germany, and announced the 30-man roster. All first-team players except Shaqiri and Miranda, who could not play in the Champions League, were successfully selected.

On May 5, Manchester United players went to the Berlin Olympic Stadium to watch the German Cup final between Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund.

Well, it's not that Manchester United players have to watch it, but the Champions League final is held here, and the German Cup final is held here every year.

Sun Wu is fairly familiar with this stadium. He has been here twice, beating Leverkusen and Bayern Munich respectively to win the cup, but he really doesn’t want to come today. Dortmund fans screamed when they saw him...

In addition to Sun Wu, the most dangerous is Schneiderlin. It was his flying tackle that made Royce miss the final.

But Sun Wu also had to come. Wolfsburg, which gave him a new starting point in his career, once again had hope of winning the cup after he left, so he would come to support him no matter what.

Of course, apart from goalkeeper Benaglio, Sane and Schaefer on the bench, there are not many Sun Wu acquaintances in this Wolfsburg team.

Sun Wu, who appeared in the stands, frequently appeared on the big screen. The fans... half booed desperately, and the other half gave applause.

In just 52 seconds of the opening, Dortmund succeeded in a sneak attack. Durm made a cross from the right, Naldo accidentally missed the top, and Aubameyang volleyed and scored in the penalty area.

Mike Phelan turned his head and glanced at Sun Wu... You still want to buy this Naldo during the winter transfer period, it seems that he is no better than Smalling.

However, Wolfsburg then managed to control the situation, as Shaheen was still on the bench from his injury.

In the 32nd minute, De Bruyne was knocked down by Hummels in a counterattack. Naldo, who had made a big mistake before, shot from the outside of his instep to equalize the score.

Sun Wuchong raised his eyebrows at Mike Phelan, look, this is the free kick that Manchester United lacks today.

Then De Bruyne took over the game. Within 5 minutes before the end of the first half, he completed a pass and a shot. First, he assisted Sane in the counterattack to complete the reversal, and then extended the score to 3 in stoppage time. 1.

Sun Wu in the stands didn't think it was rare, but McPhelan's expression changed after witnessing Tintin's world-class performance. Next season, Guardiola really has a good card in his hand!

In the end, Wolfsburg won the cup 3-1. Sun Wu was not surprised by the result. Without Shaheen and Reus, Dortmund could not completely suppress Wolfsburg in terms of strength on paper.

The performances of Sane, Naldo, and De Bruyne are all remarkable, but Sun Wu noticed the tall and thin Croatian winger Perisic who replaced Sane later.

The 26-year-old Perisic joined Wolfsburg in 2013. He was able to play the main force at the beginning, but he was unlucky later. Under the influence of Sun Wu, a butterfly who traveled through, Sane was born ahead of schedule...

It is said that Perisic is already looking for a new home, but Sane may also leave. Sun Wu is thinking about whether he can buy this very practical left winger to Manchester United. Januzaj may just leave, but Perry Sic may not be able to adapt to Manchester United's pass-and-run tactical system next season.

Sun Wu was still thinking about something, Miguel came over and said excitedly: "Good news, Iniesta is injured!"

"Really?" Sun Wu is also excited. Harvey has gradually faded out this season, and Xiaobai's position in Enrique's system is very important.

"Of course, Xavi came off after a few minutes in the second half."

"It's really hurt!"

Sun Wu turned on the computer as soon as he returned to the hotel. There were three cup finals today. Barcelona also defeated Athletic Bilbao 3-1 at the Nou Camp.

When I opened the web page, the first thing I saw was not the news of Iniesta's injury, but Messi's "magic ball".

After watching the video, the corner of Sun Wu's mouth twitched. This goal looks familiar to him!
Messi dribbled forward with the ball on the right side of the midfield, used technique and rhythm to get out of the three defenders' defenses, cut inside the penalty area and shook Laporta away, and then made a strong shot from the close corner.

The friend is in a brave state, this is really not good news... Sun Wu settled down to find the scene where Iniesta was injured. It wasn't a groin strain or a muscle strain, it seemed to be a joint problem.

Sun Wu keenly discovered that it was after Enrique communicated with Iniesta that Xiaobai was replaced with Harvey.

A little disappointed, but Sun Wu didn't have particularly high hopes, because he watched the live broadcast of the final in his previous life. Just after the opening, Iniesta assisted Rakitic to score...

Messi scored twice, Neymar also scored, Suarez completed two assists, MSN is in good shape.

Sun Wu meditated in his heart, although MSN is strong enough, but Manchester United's frontcourt attack combination is not inferior, the key is Pochettino's choice.

That night, Pochettino finally made a choice. There were as many as 22 people in the squad, but in addition to the starting 11 people, there were only 7 positions on the bench, and there must be a goalkeeper as a substitute.

Coleman, Luke Shaw, Alderweireld, Phil Jones, Rojo and Valencia were all successfully selected in the defense.

Midfielders Sun Wu, Schneiderlin, Fletcher, Herrera, Milner.

Frontcourt Griezmann, Mane, Thomas Muller, Januzaj, Klose.

There are 16 people in total, and there is still one position, which Pochettino gave to the young defender Blackett after a long consideration.

It also meant Rashford, Lingard, Ashley Young and, most importantly, Lukaku were ruled out.

Seeing that Lukaku was excluded, Sun Wu breathed a sigh of relief. He had no opinion on the Belgian striker, but if he wanted to adjust the striker line, Sun Wu would prefer to see Klose or Januzaj.

"Lacking Lukaku, if we need a long pass, we lack a high point." Jesus has different opinions.

"If a long pass is required, it must be that the score is still behind at the last moment. Alderweireld and Phil Jones will both go up to act as high points." Mike Phelan retorted calmly.

Sun Wu also said: "Although Enrique emphasized that Barcelona does not need too much possession of the ball, Barcelona's foundation lies there... If long passes are required, it is difficult for Manchester United to frequently send long passes."

"And Enrique's arrangements for the high point of the set ball are very fine." Pochettino nodded in agreement, and sighed: "The key is Romelu's state..."

Hey, Lukaku's scoring drought has lasted for more than two months, and he only scored 11 goals throughout the season, and there was a period of highlight performance around the Christmas schedule.

You must know that not to mention Griezmann, Thomas Muller and Sun Wu, Klose scored 13 goals in the frontcourt attacker, Mane scored 11 goals, and Januzaj, who had been recovering for a long time, also scored 9 goals. Lingard scored 7 goals, and Rashford scored 3 goals in very few appearances.

And in terms of cost performance... With 11 goals and a net worth of 2800 million pounds, the British media has long put the name of the biggest parallel importer this season on Lukaku's head.

Sun Wu finally took a look at the 18-man roster. The starting lineup is already ready, but Fletcher is still Herrera. So far he and Pochettino have not made a choice.

Pochettino prefers Herrera, while Sun Wu prefers Fletcher.
