opening a balotelli

Chapter 131

Hodgson was a little helpless. He didn't expect to be scored by Li Mo even after defending No. 70 minutes.

This kid is too weird. He tackled their defenders in their half, and directly scared their backcourt players.

You can use foul tactics against him, he is more ruthless than you, and his physical fitness is really good!

Looking at Li Mo, who roared passionately at the fans and celebrated, the old coach felt envious in his heart.

Of course, I am not envious of Li Mo, but envious of our old handsome guy Speed, who has such a thigh center in the coaching team.

A good center who is strong and willing to carry the team forward is really important to a team.

And Li Mo is hardly injured, this talent is the most perverted.

This basically means that every game of Sheffield United has Li Mo to cover the bottom line. It may not be possible to score goals every game, but with such a player, even if they fall behind, the Sheffield United players on the field at least have a heart There is a bottom, and it will not collapse.

Look at how Sheffield United was robbed by West Bromwich Albion players in the first half. As a result, Li Mo retreated and helped the team stabilize their position.

In the second half, Li Mo took the lead in the charge and successfully helped the team equalize the score. Hodgson was envious.

It's a pity that West Bromwich Albion is destined to be unable to have strikers of this level.

One is lack of money, and the other is the positioning and strength of the team.

Li Mo was cultivated by Sheffield United. If they want to buy in the market, such young players will not consider the middle and lower teams at all, and the giants are their home.

Although Hodgson feels a little pity to be tied by Sheffield United at the moment, in fact, they are aiming at scoring points in this game. Whether it is three points or one point, as long as they can stop the losing streak at home at Sheffield United, he feels that That's it.

After all, the league is still long. If you play against the middle and lower teams, make good tactical arrangements, and get more points at that time, and the ranking will naturally go up.

The three-game losing streak at the beginning was mainly against Manchester United and Chelsea, which stunned the players in the team, and both games were lost 1-2, which shows that the players of West Bromwich Albion are not bad.

Hodgson will be very satisfied as long as he can draw with Sheffield United and regain the confidence of the players. Of course, winning is of course a better result, but the old coach still chose to be pragmatic.

Seeing how Sheffield United was about to start, Hodgson quickly adjusted, replacing two midfielders who couldn't run, and replaced them with a midfielder and a central defender.

This time the lineup was compressed even tighter, and the new central defender was also to limit Li Mo's range of activities in the penalty area.

No need for Hodgson to say anything more, the players of West Bromwich Albion knew that they could not afford to lose this game, and quickly packed up the depression of being scored an equalizer by Li Mo, and devoted themselves to defense again.

Sheffield United naturally wanted to see if they could score another goal. Taking advantage of the state, they kicked it out, and the Sheffield United players pressed up and started the siege.

Facing the crowded situation in the restricted area, Li Mo could only try to help his teammates open up space.

But Vardy also needs more space to run. At this time, no matter where he runs, he must face at least one West Bromwich Albion player's defense. Get out of the penalty area. Vardy doesn't have that long-range shooting skills.

In the No.80 second minute of the game, Hodgson used up the last substitution quota, replaced the team's goal hero Oden Wenjie, and replaced a defensive midfielder, determined to fill the backcourt People, don't give Sheffield United a chance to score again.

Faced with this situation, in desperation, Li Mo also pulled out of the restricted area and began to try to play long shots with Drinkwater.

But to be honest, the probability of success in long-range shots is actually very low.

West Bromwich Albion's penalty area and the front of the penalty area are basically crowded. It is too difficult to bypass these West Bromwich Albion players who are willing to fly to block the ball and threaten the goal.

Even if they got one or two set-piece opportunities in the end, Li Mo and Maguire were hard to beat with two fists and four hands. They were tightly double-teamed in the penalty area. Min frequently lay on the turf, clutching his legs in pain, indicating that he had cramps.

Li Mo didn't know whether the opponent was really cramping or was deliberately delaying time, but this kind of behavior is not a problem in the game. After all, you can't force the opponent's player who seems to be cramping to stand up immediately and continue the game, right?
Although the players of Sheffield United were anxious, they still had to wait, and the game was dragged away bit by bit.

It wasn't until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game that the West Bromwich Albion players seemed to be completely relieved and could not help but sit or lie on the turf.

In an away game against the fiery Sheffield United, West Bromwich Albion took a point from Bramall Lane Stadium in a small upset, which many people did not expect before the game.

The home game was tied, but Speed ​​wasn't in a bad mood. He took the initiative to walk towards the coach Hodgson.

He has played in the Premier League for more than ten years, and naturally knows the old coach. At this time, he walked over to chat with Hodgson sincerely, praised the performance of West Bromwich Albion players today, and thanked Hodgson.

To be honest, after the first three consecutive victories in the Premier League, not only the Sheffield United players, but Speed ​​also felt a little proud. Although he later suppressed this pride, it seems that today, He still has a lot to learn in the Premier League.

In the beginning, as newly promoted challengers, they caught the previous teams by surprise, because the Premier League teams still didn't understand their strength.

Now Hodgson has taught him a good lesson. In the future, more and more teams will strengthen their research and make detailed tactical targets before the game. Just like West Bromwich Albion today, it is completely based on a lower team. They have already regarded Sheffield United as a strong team.

This set off alarm bells for Speed.

If Sheffield United's tactics and players' mentality are not adjusted in time, they will still feel uncomfortable when faced with such a situation in the future, and there will be more and more draws and losses.

So he is very grateful to the old coach Hodgson, who made him fully awake not long after the start of this season.

Facing Speed's thanks, Hodgson smiled and chatted with Speed.

The old coach has long passed the age of leading the team to compete for the championship. Now he enjoys football more. Speed ​​has the talent of coaching, and there are also a group of young boys with high talents under his command. Hodgson feels that Sheffield United There will be some achievements, and I am not stingy to mention Speed ​​a few more words.

The Sheffield United players on the field looked at the West Bromwich Albion players who were too tired to get up on the turf, but they thought of how they challenged Chelsea in the last game.

At that time, they also worked hard, and finally beat Chelsea with a clean sheet, and took away a hearty victory from Stamford Bridge, but after only one round of the league, they became the object of the challenge, which feels really strange of.

Li Mo took the lead to help West Bromwich Albion players press their legs, and then pulled them up from the turf one by one.

In any case, the game is over, and West Bromwich Albion played very tenaciously today, Li Mo has a good impression of these players.

It doesn't matter if you are weak, the key is to fight hard. Sheffield United have always adhered to this style of play after the rebuilding of the Championship.

Be tough, do your best, and get it done!
A player can be weak, but not cowardly. West Bromwich Albion players have won 100% respect from Li Mo.

Seeing Li Mo's actions, other Sheffield United players naturally helped West Bromwich Albion players stand up from the turf.

The Sheffield United fans at home have not left, because now after every home game, the Sheffield United players have to circle around to thank the fans, but today the Sheffield United players chose to help West Bromwich Albion first. Players, this makes the home fans even more proud.

It's nothing to lose points at home. After all, the performance of winning all the first three rounds has already given Sheffield United fans a great surprise, and at least one point was scored in this game.

The point is the selection of Sheffield United players, which makes the fans feel that they have not liked the wrong group of young people.

Li Mo also met an "old acquaintance" on the field, Sean Long, who played in the British Championship Reading team last season.

This buddy entered the top three in the English Championship scorer list last season. With his personal data of breaking 20 goals in a single season in the English Championship, he was also favored by West Bromwich Albion, and Xia Chuang moved to West Bromwich Albion.

Although Xiao Enlong started this game, he didn't get any chances, and he was always helping the team defend. At this time, he approached Li Mo, the two chatted for a while, and then Li Mo also agreed to the other party's request to change the jersey.

The game ended in a friendly atmosphere where the Sheffield United players kindly helped the West Bromwich Albion players.

After the game, Hodgson was full of praise for Sheffield United's behavior in helping West Bromwich Albion players after the game, and also bluntly said that Speed ​​will become an excellent coach in the future.

Speed ​​also praised Hodgson's tactical arrangement, and said modestly that he still has a lot to learn.

As for the Sheffield United players, after thanking the fans and returning to the locker room, they were summoned by Li Mo and Chris Morgan for a player meeting.

Without blaming or expressing dissatisfaction, the players just sat around and exchanged their feelings about each game since the start of the game.

After defeating Wigan Athletic in the first round, they had a vague perception of the strength of the team. After defeating Stoke City in the second round, they had an idea in their hearts: they are a strong team.

Maybe not in the top four, but it is possible to rank in the top ten in the Premier League, or even squeeze into the top eight.

After winning against Chelsea, their mentality began to expand even more.

No matter how much Li Mo and a few old players emphasized the need to keep calm and cool them down, in a short period of time, this kind of inflated mentality cannot be restored to normal all at once.

until the game is over.

As a challenger, West Bromwich Albion worked hard and forced them into a panic. If Li Mo hadn't exploded again, they might have their first defeat at home and in the new season.

Being able to win against Chelsea, but almost losing to West Bromwich Albion, who lost three games in a row at the beginning, this gap made these young Sheffield United players instantly wake up.

Fortunately, I have only finished the fourth round of the league now, so there is still time to correct my mentality.

Li Mo finally said something at the players' meeting, which made his young teammates fall into deep thought.

"I always firmly believe that we can create the most glorious chapter in the history of the team, but this process will be relatively long. At least for now, we are still only the challengers of the Premier League. If we want to succeed, we must always maintain a calm mind and step by step. Take one step at a time, so as not to fail halfway. I hope that all of us will always keep this sentence in mind: there are no underdogs in the Premier League.

We can be confident and evaluate the strength of every opponent, but we must put our minds right, no matter how strong or weak the opponent is, we must always pay attention to them, so that we can go further.

Unity, sacrifice, self-confidence and the right attitude, with all these, we can become a real champion team, come on! "
