Chapter 988 Public Welfare Activities
Although a goal was scored by the opponent, the 3-1 score allowed Manchester United to advance to the quarter-finals without much suspense, and Alderweireld completed the shuffling task without suspicion, but Van Dijk failed to shuffle the cards , but Manchester United's central defenders have sufficient reserves, and Sun Wu doesn't care too much about it.

Back at the Carrington base, Sun Wu got good news. Falcao returned from injury ahead of schedule, and even played a normal game in the reserve team, in good condition.

At present, there are only Mane, Lucas and Bernardo Silva on the injured list of Manchester United. The first two will probably return from injury early next month. Contusion, dizziness and vomiting also occurred at that time. The club sent the Portuguese to the United States for detailed examination. It is not yet known when he will be able to return to the field.

In the knockout round on the second day, Real Madrid drew 2-2 away with Roma, and Dortmund lost Juventus 0-1 away.

The game between Liverpool and Manchester City will have to wait until the second week. For this reason, Patrick also complained in private, thinking that UEFA is favoring Manchester United.

Because starting from next weekend, the league schedule will become more intensive. From the end of February to the first ten days of March, there will be three rounds of league matches in a week.

On the weekend of February 2th, in the fifth round of the FA Cup, Manchester United played away against the League One team Shrewsbury. Sun Wu sent a set of main substitutes. The ball took the lead early, and the "Tiger" Falcao, who finally returned from injury, came off the bench in the second half and scored a penalty kick, allowing Manchester United to advance 20-10 to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

Manchester City, Chelsea, and Arsenal all advanced smoothly. What was more miserable was Liverpool against West Bromwich Albion, who was equalized with a 2-0 lead and needed another optional rematch.

On February 2, Sun Wu participated in a charity event with the most popular players in the team, Griezmann, Falcao, Salah and others.

Woodward has been focusing on business investment before he came to Manchester United. After serving as the CEO of Manchester United, he made Manchester United the most profitable football club in the world. His business development ability has been recognized, but at the same time he also tried to make the club more profitable. Participating in various public welfare activities has great invisible benefits for the club and the personal image of the players.

For example, the Manchester Children's Hospital where Sun Wu and the others came today is a public welfare hospital that does not charge at all and only accepts donations from non-governmental organizations such as Manchester United.

After chatting, playing, and taking photos with the children, Sun Wu accidentally saw Paul McGuinness, the technical director of Manchester United's youth training school.

After chatting for a few words, the two walked into the next ward together.

Although the walls of the ward were painted grass green and there were various cartoon images, the lonely figure of the child on the hospital bed made the atmosphere in the ward solemn and depressing.

"His name is also Best, Paul Best." McGuinness whispered: "This year is 12 years old. He entered the youth training camp last year. He is a Manchester United fan. For this reason, he moved to be closer to Manchester United."

Sun Wu nodded to show that he knew why. It was not for British children to choose their first youth training camp. They had to choose the club closest to home. This is why Steven Gerrard, who was an Everton fan when he was a child, went to Liverpool Youth Academy. The reason for the training camp,

McGuinness continued: "I was found out half a month ago..."

"Best!" The child who was listening to the radio inadvertently turned his head and saw Sun Wu at the door of the ward, shouted in surprise, and raised his arm with difficulty.

McGuinness walked quickly and pushed the child back to the bed, "Paul, how are you today?"

"It's not bad." The child didn't look sad at all, "I think... I can wait until the Champions League final. Hey, no team has defended the title after the restructuring!"

Sun Wu nodded with a smile and said: "As long as the hospital and your family agree, I will leave you a ticket for the Champions League final."

"It's a deal." Excitement and happiness shone in the weak child's eyes.

The corner of McGuinness's mouth twitched to change the topic. Sun Wu was a little surprised. Reaching the Champions League final is not impossible, why not continue.

A few minutes later, Sun Wu knew why, the child's mother and the doctor walked into the ward, and McNeese explained to Sun Wu in a low voice, "Next week's operation..."

Sun Wu was speechless. In his previous life, he often saw news of a certain football star taking a group photo with a terminally ill child in the reports, but this was the first time he had personally experienced it.

Suddenly, there was a loud roar from the radio next to the bed.

"Oh, great De Bruyne!"

"Guardiola took out his trump card during the intermission. The Belgian midfielder completed a hat-trick of assists in 15 minutes. This should be the fastest hat-trick in history!"

"He proved with practical actions that he is not the second Best, he is Kevin De Bruyne!"

The child pursed his lips tightly and turned his head to look at Sun Wu.

"If the neighbor is too noisy, just give him a slap." Sun Wu comforted with a smile: "Don't worry, he is the second Best, and I will tell him why he is the second Best instead of the first." A De Bruyne."

After leaving the hospital, Sun Wu and McGuinness returned to the Carrington Base together.

Sun Wu asked the jersey administrator for a No. 7 jersey, signed it and handed it to McNeese, "If the operation is successful?"

"Even if it succeeds, it's hard to guarantee a survival period of more than 12 months." McNeese took the jersey and said with a wry smile: "Best, can you really reach the Champions League final?"

"I don't know." Sun Wu shook his head, "But I will do my best, if... I mean if, can he come to the scene?"

McNeese also shook his head and was speechless.

After sending McNeese away, Sun Wu sat down and turned on the computer. Manchester City has already led Leverkusen 5-2.

In another game at the same time, Liverpool also successfully led Zenit St. Petersburg 3-0 in the away game, and it is a foregone conclusion to advance to the quarterfinals.

Sun Wu is quite conflicted. The two direct opponents are in great condition, but they are also fighting on the third front. This is a good thing for Manchester United.

Manchester City has only lost two games in all competitions this season. One was against Manchester United in the league, and the other was a small loss to Juventus in the Champions League group stage.

Liverpool's league record this season is mediocre. In the face of mid-lower teams frequently losing points, stability is the biggest problem Klopp has to solve, but at the same time Liverpool's strong impact makes them not afraid of any opponent.

Sun Wu repeatedly pondered in his heart, the league, the FA Cup, and the Champions League, the three fronts go hand in hand, whether it is possible for Manchester United to win the Triple Crown.

Although the outside world believes that Manchester United sold a number of absolute main players in a row last summer. Although the newcomers acquired have great potential, their overall strength has declined, but Sun Wu is very clear that Manchester United's current lineup is strong enough to deal with multiple fronts at the same time. of.

But the triple crown requires not only the thickness of the lineup, superb coaching, and stable performance, but also a little luck. Unfortunately, Sun Wu beat Erha for a while, and the system cannot draw lucky cards.

After all, up to now, in the history of modern football for nearly a hundred years, no club has been able to complete the treble twice.

So one thing is for sure, this season, no matter who the champion is, there will be a hard fight, and it is very likely that it will be a hard fight that is well known.
