The strongest waist king of the Red Devils

Chapter 49

Manchester United defeated Middlesbrough at home and directly extended their lead in the league standings to nine points.

In addition, in the subsequent match between Chelsea and Newcastle United, Chelsea stumbled and even drew 0:0 with Newcastle United.

This helpless draw caused the blue team Chelsea to lose two important points. The nine-game winning streak in the league was also terminated, and the points gap with Manchester United also came to eight points.

In this way, the difficulty for Chelsea to catch up with Manchester United in the league standings has been greatly improved.

Because of this ordinary game, the Chelsea team was shrouded in an atmosphere of dignified disappointment.

However, the season is not over yet, and there are still four rounds of competition in the league. In theory, they still have a chance to counterattack.

And Chelsea's draw is excellent news for Manchester United.

The lead in the league has expanded to eight points, and Manchester United can prepare more easily. After a few days of preparation, at Old Trafford, they will face their opponents in the semi-finals of the Champions League, AC Milan in Serie A, and welcome the impact of Kaka, the peak.

To be honest, the overall situation of Manchester United is actually not very good.

At present, many of Manchester United's main players are suffering from injuries.

Especially in the defense line, Rio Ferdinand, Vidic, Gary Neville, and Sylvester were all injured and unable to play. The entire main defense line was basically scrapped.

Even Evra was actually slightly injured, but it could only be a minor injury that could not leave the line of fire.

In the midfield, Park Ji-sung, Kieran Richardson, and Saha are also absent.

Under such circumstances, facing the powerful Milan team in the midfield, Manchester United is really difficult to play in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.

Fortunately, Sun Qi's strong rise gave Ferguson more choices.

Especially in the last match against Middlesbrough, Manchester United's midfielder did not have an advantage in the mincing tactics. It was Sun Qi's debut, interspersed in series, which released the space for Scholes and Carrick. Revitalized Manchester United's midfield.

This gave Ferguson a new way of thinking.

Therefore, in the past few days of training, seeing that Sun Qi is in good condition, Ferguson tried to let Sun Qi enter the main lineup, partnering with Scholes and Carrick in the midfield.

The passing skills of the three are very good, and the awareness of cooperation is also excellent. The short pass cooperation between them is very exquisite, and they circle the bench lineup.

Even Fletcher, the sweeper, is rarely able to effectively intercept.

Such an attempt made Ferguson's eyes shine.

After all, traditional British midfielders like Scholes and Carrick are actually not good at cooperating with frequent short passes in the midfield.

But with Sun Qi's adjustments in it, Scholes and Carrick, as if they had been opened up through the two channels of Ren and Du, became more and more accustomed to this kind of midfielder.

Sun Qi's running is active, fast, good physical strength, accurate passing, good at both long and short passes.

In addition, Carrick and Scholes have begun to have a tacit understanding of cooperation, making the three of them more and more skillful, and the speed of passing and receiving the ball is also getting faster and faster, making the substitute side exhausted .

With a heavy tank like Rooney in the frontcourt, an assault master like Ronaldo, and an experienced veteran with outstanding skills like Giggs, Manchester United played a different style of play.

The midfielder stood still, and the players in the frontcourt played more comfortably. Even the backline, which was not well-staffed, felt less pressure.

This is something that coach Ferguson did not expect.

It was also from this that he saw Sun Qi's great potential, and Ferguson made up his mind to keep Sun Qi in the Theater of Dreams at all costs.

If Sun Qi can continue to grow smoothly, then he will be an important midfield guarantee for Manchester United in the next 20 years.

Since Roy Keane left the team, Manchester United's weak waist problem will also be better resolved.

The combination of Sun Qi, Scholes and Carrick in the midfield can better deal with all kinds of powerful midfield opponents and deliver shells for Manchester United's frontcourt.

Moreover, with the addition of Sun Qi, Scholes and Carrick's defensive pressure can be well relieved, attracting opponents, opening up space, and being able to play the role of Scholes and Carrick. Pass scheduling strengths.

In this way, the Manchester United team has several metronomes on the field, and their strength will also increase greatly.

This is what Ferguson is very happy to see.

He finally found the best solution to Manchester United's midfield problem.

As for how far Sun Qi will grow in the future, Ferguson can't fully predict right now.

But he was very fortunate that Sun Qi was a member of the Manchester United team, not an opponent.

And with his good performance on the field, Sun Qi's agent, Zhao Yansheng, was equally happy from ear to ear, and he was even more confident when negotiating with Manchester United on the contract extension.

At the same time, in terms of endorsements, many merchants came to him, which made Zhao Yansheng very happy every day.

However, Zhao Yansheng still had his own ideas.

Now, although Sun Qi is already a little famous, he has not yet received a championship award, which is not particularly convincing.

It was with this in mind that Zhao Yansheng continued to use Sun Qi's nervous preparations for the Champions League as an excuse to temporarily suppress these interviews and endorsements.

When Sun Qi has more and better performances, then Sun Qi's worth will soar.

At that time, Sun Qi will also be able to obtain a higher endorsement value.

Him, don't worry.

What's more, apart from Manchester United, many teams have contacted him, asking about Sun Qi's contract renewal, and offered high prices to poach him.

If Sun Qi hadn't told him that his first choice was to stay with Manchester United, Zhao Yansheng would have been eager to accept the invitations of these teams directly.

Here, there are many players who are good at training young players like Arsenal, as well as newly promoted teams Chelsea, even Real Madrid, and Manchester United's upcoming AC Milan team.

With such news, Zhao Yancheng was in high spirits.

He never thought that when he was an agent, he would be able to have such a glorious day, and be treated politely by these big giants.

Of course, with this news, it is enough for him to put pressure on Manchester United and force Manchester United to give a more suitable contract.

Now that Sun Qi has started to succeed, he will benefit from it, so he will naturally seek more benefits for Sun Qi.
