The 3-1 defeat of Everton made the atmosphere in the Manchester United team cheerful, and there were no hard bones behind. Uh, Arsenal are really not hard at all, they are as soft as noodles... or Suzhou fine noodles.
April 4, Carrington Base.
After the regular training, Sun Wu and his teammates watched the make-up match between Manchester City and Liverpool.
Tsk tsk, Sun Wu insisted before the game that Klopp's tactics could restrain Guardiola. After 90 minutes, his teammates looked at Sun Wu with strange eyes.
It's really an "Oriental Wizard".
In fact, the industry is also not very optimistic about Manchester City. In the FA Cup semi-finals a few days ago, Liverpool, who was short of major generals, forced the game to a penalty shootout. Although Manchester City took the initiative, they just failed to score.
This game was similar, Manchester City had absolute possession of the ball and organized the offense in an orderly manner, while Liverpool recovered very deeply, trying not to give Manchester City the opportunity to form a partial numerical advantage.
Midfielder Nzonzi and the comeback Henderson, the midfielder partner, shined in the audience. They jointly sent 11 steals and 15 clearances.
And Klopp's counterattack tactics are also very targeted, not focusing on personal breakthroughs, but sending the ball to the dangerous area as quickly as possible. The tacit pass and run cooperation between three or two people makes Manchester City's defense impossible to defend.
In the end, Coutinho used the cloud-piercing arrow stunt again in the 58th minute of the second half. One minute later, Henderson's world wave expanded the score advantage. Manchester City only pulled back a victory from JD in stoppage time.
2 to 1, this score makes Manchester City still 6 points behind Manchester United, and also makes Liverpool only 1 point behind Manchester City.
During dinner, Sun Wu also specially called Firmino and Coutinho to express his gratitude... But the attitude of the other party was not good, because tonight is the UEFA Champions League semi-final draw ceremony.
Two hours later, the draw was announced, with Barcelona playing Liverpool and Manchester United playing Borussia Dortmund.
Tsk tsk, UEFA is going to make trouble, because after the elimination of Bayern, the Hornet fans shouted at Manchester United at home... They want to take revenge.
Although four years have passed, the name Best is still high on the list of players most hated by Dortmund fans.
In this season's Ruhr Derby, Dortmund double-killed Schalke 04, one of which was a 6-0 disparity to complete the massacre. In the German Cup quarter-elimination round, Dortmund defeated Schalke 04 again.
Borussia Dortmund is full of confidence, the players claim in interviews that they are not afraid of any opponent, it doesn't matter who they draw... But from Hummels, Shaheen, Bender to Aubameyang, everyone is more interested in beating Manchester United , defeated Sun Wu.
On May 5, Manchester United will host Borussia Dortmund at home.
On May 5th, Manchester United went to Germany. Westfalen Stadium is one of the scariest home stadiums in Europe.
That night, Sun Wu's cell phone rang non-stop, and friends from Barcelona, Liverpool, Dortmund and even Schalke 04 called one after another, some gloating, some aggressive, some cheering and encouraging, and so on.
The Manchester United coaching staff began their research on Dortmund as early as the end of March, collecting information and observing the status of opponent players. The work of Manchester United scouts is not just to discover young talents.
However, now Dortmund's schedule is much easier than that of Manchester United. With four league rounds left, they have already dropped No.2 Wolfsburg by eight points. Although Manchester United also leads by six points, Manchester City is One game less.
In fact, the most uncomfortable of the Champions League semi-finals is Manchester United.
Liverpool has nothing but the FA Cup final. They are 7 points behind Manchester United and basically have no hope of competing for the league championship. There is no essential difference between second and third in the league, and they don't need to play in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers next season. .
The same is true for Barcelona. In the second half of the season, the MSN team will show their prowess. The Copa del Rey final will be held at the end of May. The league leads Real Madrid by as much as 5 points, and the next round of the league will lock the league championship.

Old Trafford.
Manchester United played West Bromwich Albion with a semi-main lineup. Of course, the suspension of Schneiderlin and Fletcher in the midfield has not yet ended, and the midfield is still a combination of Carrick, Herrera and Sun Wu.
But Griezmann, Mane, Thomas Muller, and Alderweireld were all rested, and Lingard, Rashford, Shaqiri, and Miranda were replaced.
There were no surprises in the game. In the first half, Herrera scored with a long shot and Sun Wu made a contribution.
In the second half, Griezmann and Mane played to find their feelings, and the two passed shots to each other to make the score 4-1.
After the game, the focus of media reports is that Sun Wu became the first Premier League star to score 20 goals and assists in all competitions this season.
22 goals, 20 assists.
In Lineker's words, this data is enough for the Golden Globe Award. If the honors of the league championship and the Champions League are added, and the Golden Globe Award really parted ways with FIFA, then this year's Golden Globe winner It is likely to be Sun Wu... After all, this year is not a big competition year.
At present, the top scorer in the Manchester United team is Griezmann, with 28 goals in all competitions, followed by Sun Wu. Thomas Muller has played slightly worse this season, with 18 goals in all competitions.
On the assists list, Sun Wu currently ranks second with 16 assists. The first is Arsenal's Ozil. Although the Gunners have a poor record, Big Eyes still has 17 assists.
On the same day, Manchester City continued to maintain the pressure on Manchester United by beating Tottenham 1-0 in a difficult away game.
Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw by Queens Park Rangers, and Klopp began to devote all his energy to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
And Dortmund defeated Hoffenheim 3-1, leading No.2 Wolfsburg by 8 points, and basically locked the league championship.
Barcelona swept Cordoba 9-0, Real Madrid was tied 2-2 by Sevilla, and Barcelona won the league championship three rounds ahead of schedule, which is also the first league title winner of the five major European leagues.
"This is the situation now." Mike Phelan explained to the club CEO Santoko who rarely attended the meeting: "The other three teams can play lightly. Only Manchester United needs to fight on two lines."
"However, there are currently no injuries in the team, which is good news." Dr. Swell added: "The status of the players... This needs to be adjusted by the coaching staff. During this period of time, I will let the nutritionist formulate a special diet for each person , Diet schedule, training intensity will be revised."
"Now is the final sprint stage. The coaching staff hopes that the media and Manchester Radio will try not to report negative news." Jesus added.
San Dezi nodded again and again. Last season's league championship allowed him to be secure in the position of CEO. He knew too well what the team's record could bring him.
"Best, I very much hope that your weekly salary in the next contract can be increased again." San Dezi looked at Sun Wu kindly, "Manchester United has no salary cap now."
Sun Wu grinned, "I hope the club's public relations department can help me win this year's Golden Globe."
The two people are actually talking about one thing, winning the double crown.
"If we can win the double championship, the summer signing budget will be greatly increased." San Dezi clapped his hands, "By June this year, the contracts of more than 12 sponsors will expire. After the end, we will start the contract renewal negotiations with them."
The meaning of this sentence is very simple. After winning the double championship, the sponsors will spend more money, and the summer signing budget will be greatly increased.
But after San Dezi said this, the office fell into an awkward silence. Pochettino and Sun Wu stopped talking. Now Mike Phelan, Jesus, and Miguel are also very clear about what will happen next.
In fact, the hidden meaning of San Dezi's words is that the double crown, a large summer signing budget... Pochettino, are you still not renewing your contract?
Sun Wu unconsciously turned the pen in his hand, looked up at the ceiling expressionlessly, and wondered whether to let Mike Phelan go to a showdown with San Dezi, but Pochettino has not yet clearly refused to renew the contract ?
