Chapter 924 Protagonist Template
Returning to the locker room with a 2-0 lead, the mental state of the players is completely different from the previous games. Of course, this has a lot to do with Sun Wu's management model.

Due to his unique identity, Sun Wu seldom uses a condescending attitude and tone, which makes the players relatively peaceful, and there is no obvious gap between them and Sun Wu.

Of course, this is not without disadvantages. The authority of the head coach will be weakened, and the loose management may bring troubles to Sun Wu.

However, the first thing Sun Wu has to do is to gain a firm foothold. Using tough management methods when he first assumes the new post is likely to lead to civil strife.

Sun Wu did not hesitate to speak highly of the protagonist Van Dijk in the first half, praised Mane who opened the scoring, and praised Bernardo Silva, who can perfectly replace Thomas Muller in terms of type, but deliberately missed and missed another good opportunity Harry Kane.

Sensitive to find Kane heaved a sigh of relief, Mike Phelan couldn't help but praise Sun Wu in his heart, this is really a natural leader.

During the halftime break, Sun Wu did not make any substitutions or adjust his tactics. He only told his teammates not to relax their vigilance in the second half.

"The second half of the game is about to start. Manchester United... seems to have no substitutions." Zhan Jun observed the players carefully, "Tottenham..."

"Mata is on the field, let's see who he replaces. Generally speaking, Mata mainly plays right winger or midfielder." Zhan Jun hesitated, and the camera gave a close-up of Dembele on the bench.

"Replacing Belgian midfielder Dembele, Pochettino let Fellaini stay on the field." Zhan Jun said with a smile: "Actually, at Manchester United two years ago, it was Pochettino who cleaned Fellaini, because the latter was very difficult. Adapt to the tactics, but now Tottenham lacks an excellent midfielder, although Fellaini moves slowly, he is more reliable than Dembele in defense."

"Paulinho performed poorly last season, and Levi sold him to China, but in fact, Brazil's midfielder ability is not a problem." Zhang Lu also laughed, "Fellaini...no foul, Tottenham's counterattack! "

"Mata's direct pass... a little bigger."

Van Dijk, who was full of physical fitness, resisted Lukaku, who had a strong desire to perform, and escorted the ball out of the baseline.

Sun Wu glanced at Fellaini, and then at Pochettino who kept gesticulating on the sidelines... Hey, hey, this is stealing the teacher, Mauricio, do you pay the tuition?
Although he was purged and left the team, the personal relationship between Fellaini and Sun Wu is not bad. This is because when Sun Wu served as the interim head coach and led the team to the away game at the Nou Camp, Fellaini's outstanding performance made Manchester United a successful away game Draw with Barcelona.

And Pochettino's use of Fellaini in the second half is a bit like that game. If he has poor mobility, he simply doesn't move forward. Standing in front of the central defender becomes a barrier, and only rushes into the penalty area at set kicks or at the last critical moment.

This tactical adjustment can minimize Fellaini's influence on the tactical system, and can also maximize the personal advantages of the explosive head.

Because Fellaini played a single midfielder, Tottenham did not dare to use high-position pressing tactics, otherwise it would be easy for Sun Wu to penetrate the middle, but Tottenham faintly had the upper hand in the midfield fight. Sun Wu’s midfield partner today is Milner and Kante.

Milner is okay to say, Kanter... 168cm vs 194cm, paralyzed!

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Sun Wu ran to the sidelines, "Anthony!"

Griezmann, who was warming up, ran over, frowned and said, "Best, give me a promise!"

Mike Phelan and Rolf hesitated to speak, then one looked left and the other looked right...

The corner of Sun Wu's mouth twitched, "You won't be injured until December."

Griezmann smiled, "And after December?"

"If you haven't changed your clothes yet, after December you will..."

"OKOK, stop talking!" Rolf pulled Griezmann away, "You really believe it!"

"If you don't believe it, you can't do it!"

It was the same last season. Griezmann had a minor injury in August. Pochettino was going to buy Shaqiri, but the signing failed, but Sun Wu claimed that Griezmann will be healthy for the next season...

Sun Wu gritted his teeth and used a medical insurance card for his friend. After doing the math, he has already used three of them. One for himself, and one for Lucas, who was the only left back because of Luke Shaw’s injury. Griezmann also took the card.

Manchester United has plenty of personnel in various positions this season. Sun Wu really wants to accumulate points. You must know that the points can be used in group training now.

"Sun Wu ran to the sidelines...Let's see, Manchester United has changed." Zhan Jun said with a smile: "Sun Wu is also the head coach of Manchester United...Many people on the domestic Internet say that he is a protagonist template."

"Haha, I retired for a short time with a serious injury, and then quickly became a first-class midfielder in the Bundesliga and even Europe when I came back. Now I am the core, captain, and head coach of Manchester United!"

"It is indeed a protagonist template, but it also requires Sun Wu to have such ability. Last season's Champions League final has proved everything." Zhang Lu paused, "Griezmann replaced Harry Kane, this is an unexpected substitution , Kane played the whole game in the first three games."

The substitutions worked really well, and Sun Wu took advantage of Pochettino's deep impression on him...

In the 69th minute, Manchester United counterattacked with a steal from the backcourt. Sun Wukong ran away Fellaini, but Milner passed to Bernardo Silva, who sent a precise through ball.

"Direct pass... oh, it's Mane!"

"Mane appeared on the right, he cut inside...a cross!"

"Griezmann goes forward...Best shovels!"

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"3 to 0, 3 to 0, Manchester United will usher in the first victory of the season!"

"Pochettino lost to Best without any resistance!"

The camera did not follow Sun Wu, who was sliding and kneeling at the corner flag, but found Pochettino, who was pale on the sidelines, tsk tsk, it is very meaningful.

"Very smooth attack, fast advance, teamwork, precise through pass, timely cross, and two-point response." Zhan Jun praised: "Manchester United's offense is like a dog trying to solve a cow. Tottenham did not have obvious loopholes, but The ball went in and Lloris didn't even make a save."

"This was a rare occurrence for Manchester United last season...it happened against Real Madrid, when Klose was the center forward." Zhang Lu hesitated: "It may be difficult for Harry Kane to adapt to this model."

"Perhaps Sun Wu has other considerations..."

Sun Wu, who ended his suspension, sent a pass and a shot at the beginning of his debut. The applause in the Stretford stands was thunderous, and King's shouts could be faintly heard.

The faces of Milner, Griezmann, Mane, and Silva who came running over were also full of smiles. This is the result of their repeated grinding on the training ground.

Unlike last season, Bernardo Silva has the precise through ball ability that Herrera lacks. Of course, the Spanish midfielder is deep in defense and lacks this performance opportunity.

Sun Wu ran to the left and took Fellaini away. Griezmann in the center did not move laterally but contained the two central defenders of Tottenham. Mane suddenly changed positions on the right and received a direct pass.

Then Griezmann rushed forward from the middle, and Sun Wu came in to grab the back point. Although Tottenham's defense did not make any mistakes, it was unable to resist Manchester United's attack like mercury.

3 to 0, the overall situation has been decided, Sun Wu commanded the team to recover and start a counterattack, and in the 80th minute Rashford replaced the outstanding Bernardo Silva.

In the 84th minute, Kanter split the ball after stealing the ball, Coleman made a through pass from the sideline, Rashford made a 30-meter cross, and Griezmann volleyed from a distance and scored the first goal of the season.

In the 85th minute, Sun Wu replaced himself with Lingard and used up the last substitution.

In stoppage time, Lamela scored in the chaotic battle to save Tottenham a bit of face.

In the end, Manchester United, who had one draw and one loss in the first two games, swept Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 at home, and Van Dijk became the best player in the game.

Pochettino's face was disgraced in the post-match press conference. He could only emphasize that Tottenham's summer signings are not over yet.

It was Sun Wu who disappointed the reporters. Instead of being triumphant, he used Pochettino's poor record when he first arrived at Manchester United two years ago as an example.

"I believe Tottenham will be a very, very good team in the Premier League under Mauricio."

Looking at the reporters below with a smile, Sun Wu added in his heart that Tottenham can be great, but the championship belongs to Manchester United.
