Chapter 166 Breaking into the semi-finals, shopping for the blue moon

Sitting on the coach's bench at the moment, Steve Keane suddenly grinned silently as he watched his goal being scored by Li Mo.

The Blackburn substitute players on the side looked amazed.

Isn't the head coach mentally ill?
After laughing for a while, Steve Keane suddenly leaned back on the chair without giving any tactical instructions to the players on the field. He seemed to be closing his eyes and resting his mind?

Steve Keane has given up on himself and let himself be ridiculed.

Before the game, he was thinking of dragging the game to overtime. The goal was scored by Sheffield United in less than half of the first half, and he still used the simple and rude method of long-range shots.

Heart tired, destroy it, hurry up.

After this game, he will voluntarily resign at the press conference. He can't stay with this broken team. The offense is poor, and the defense is even worse. Oh, by the way, his own coaching level is also poor!Anyway, they are all rubbish, and they can't be combined together, so it's better to separate them.

But no matter what Steve Keane thinks now, the game is still going on, and the Blackburn starters have to continue to bear the humiliation of being besieged by Sheffield United.

There are 10 minutes left in the game, and the players of Sheffield United can "play" slowly!
The ball has already been conceded, and there is no point in defending it. Now there is no need for Robinson to get angry again. After the re-kick-off, the other Blackburn players consciously began to press forward as a whole.

Not to mention the confrontation with Sheffield United, at least the formation must return to normal.

Drinkwater also cooperated with Blackburn's forward pressure, and turned out to lead his teammates back and let the midfielder out.

This scene made the Blackburn players suspicious, but Sheffield United gave up the midfielder, they couldn't just watch and do nothing, could they?
After taking the initiative in the midfield, Blackburn began to try to attack. Two full-backs pressed and passed the ball, and the front midfielder and three defensive midfielders gradually pressed near the center circle. It seemed that it was really time for Blackburn's offensive round up.

But shortly after Blackburn's overall formation moved forward, Maguire directly penetrated the fantasy of the Blackburn players with a long pass.

"You guys really dare to press on, don't you know that our best skill is to counterattack quickly!"

When Maguire sent the long pass, he still complained in his heart, and Li Mo also tacitly started sprinting at full speed at this moment, rushing towards the landing point of the football.

No matter how bad Steve Keane is, at least he knows some of Sheffield United's regular offensive routines, but at the moment he is so bad, he doesn't give any tactical instructions to the Blackburn players on the field, so it directly leads to Blackburn. The irrationality of the forward pressure in this formation also allowed Sheffield United to play a good counterattack very smoothly.

After Li Mo caught up with the football, he sent a through pass diagonally forward from a position close to the sidewalk. Vardy succeeded in turning offside in an instant and got a single chance!

"The Blackburn players were too careless to let Sheffield United play such a counterattack?! Li Zhisai! One-handed ball! Jamie Vardy entered the penalty area and hit the far corner! The ball went in!!!"

With the voice of the commentary, Vardy calmly pushed the far corner and succeeded. In terms of shooting, he is still very confident. Robinson judged the wrong direction, and Sheffield United will make another victory!
"Only 10 minutes into the first half, Sheffield United is already leading 2-0! Steve Keane doesn't seem to have given any tactical instructions to Blackburn's players on the field. Does he plan to adjust it at halftime? ?"

The commentary's speculation is also what the audience watching the game wants to know. They all thought that Steve Keane was planning to adjust at halftime.

Vardy was very happy after scoring, but also a little surprised.

Didn't Blackburn still plan to defend at the beginning of the game? Was Li Mo's long-range shot really broke their confidence?His goal this time was too simple, just like rehearsing tactics in training.

But of course Vardy has no objections to this kind of good thing, he hopes that Blackburn will continue to play like this, and then Li Mo can easily send him more assists~
Vardy had a little fantasy, and then he clapped hands with Li Mo to celebrate.

But when he received the threat sent by Li Mo in the counterattack and scored twice after 6 minutes, he fell into a state of coolness and bewilderment.

"Are they playing badly and not kicking?"

After Vardy and Li Mo hugged and celebrated, they asked subconsciously.

Li Mo shook his head, "I don't know, but their head coach hasn't been on the sidelines for a long time, besides, they're messed up, aren't you happy?"

Vardy reacted, then hugged Li Mo's arm, and looked at Li Mo expectantly.

"You must pass me another ball later. I also want to taste the taste of wearing a hat. I don't count on it in the league, but wearing a hat in the cup is still an eight-to-four game. It can be regarded as a good player." It's time!"

Li Mo made a reassuring gesture to Vardy, but before the end of the half, Vardy's hat was not put on, but Li Mo dribbled the ball by himself and made a cooperation with Matt Ridge, and then on the left side of the penalty area A successful volley in one step, also staged a brace!

"Damn! You won't put on the hat before me!"

Facing Vardy's suspicious eyes, Li Mo smiled and grabbed his shoulder, "You must wear it first in the second half, don't worry."

At the end of halftime, Sheffield United had already led Blackburn 4-0. Before the game, most people thought that Sheffield United could win easily, but no one could have imagined such a massacre.

No matter how good Blackburn is, it wouldn't be so bad. They are also a Premier League team, but now Blackburn's performance on the field is not as good as many English Championship teams, which surprised the reporters on the scene.

"Blackburn is going to be murdered!"

This is the unified thought in the hearts of all the reporters on the scene at the moment, and they immediately started writing articles, praising Sheffield United, criticizing Steve Keane's opening tactics and not making any adjustments in the first half, and criticizing Black The downside of this season.

In the No. 603 minute of the second half, after Li Mo and Vardy were both replaced, the reporters added another explosive message to the press release:

In a single game, two Sheffield United forwards scored hat-tricks!

Sheffield United finally slaughtered Blackburn 7-0 at home, and Blackburn's head coach Steve Keane announced his resignation directly at the press conference after the game!
World War I defeated Blackburn, this is it!The head coach has been fired!
Early the next morning, the front-page news of the major sports newspapers was Sheffield United 7-0 Blackburn. This crazy score and the news that Blackburn's head coach was dismissed immediately attracted countless people who hadn't watched the game yesterday. The eyeballs of the people who eat melons.

Sheffield United also broke into the semi-finals of the League Cup this season in an extremely strong way!

Arsenal lost 0-1 to Manchester City in the end, and Liverpool, who were aiming for the League Cup championship, also defeated Chelsea 2-0. The three teams in the League Cup semi-finals have been released, and they are waiting for Manchester United to win Crystal Palace.

Basically no one will be optimistic about Crystal Palace. Manchester United's current state is a bit ups and downs, but Crystal Palace, who has won the British Championship, is not easy to catch.

But something that surprised everyone happened again. Crystal Palace went shopping in regular time, tied with Manchester United 1-1, and finally scored a lore goal in overtime to eliminate Manchester United!

Crystal Palace broke into the semi-finals of the League Cup, Sheffield United, Manchester City, and Liverpool were ecstatic!
Manchester United was counter-killed by the soft persimmon, but they like to pinch the soft persimmon!

When it comes to this point, no matter who it is, they will go all out. Therefore, whoever draws the Crystal Palace from the next three teams basically has a place in the finals.

However, the draw has to wait until December, so for now they have to turn their eyes and attention back to the league.

Coincidentally, Sheffield United is about to play Manchester City soon. Sheffield United drew with Liverpool before, and now they will fight Manchester City again, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the follow-up League Cup game.

For Manchester City, they are aiming to win the championship this season. There is no such thing as staying strong, and their bench is deep enough. They played a lot of rotation players in the League Cup. This time against Sheffield United, their main players are all out. , I want to take all three points at home.

After all, now Manchester United and Tottenham are chasing closely behind. Manchester City has 35 points, Tottenham has 31 points, and Manchester United has [-] points. With the gap between Spurs and Manchester United approaching one or two points, the pressure is too great.

As for Sheffield United, except for the uncomfortable start against Blackburn, the rest of the time basically entered garbage time, and the main players did not have much physical loss, so they are in good condition. Fighting against Manchester City is no problem. .

And there is another point, this season Sheffield United is in the second half of the league, and they still have to play in the FA Cup. Points statement.

The League Cup has entered the semi-finals. Sheffield United's coaches and players have confidence in their hearts. As long as they fight for the League Cup championship, they will play in Europe next season. Then the two biggest goals of this season are to win a championship and ensure the next season. The qualification for the European competition in the season has been realized.

So in the league, Sheffield United will use games against strong teams to sharpen themselves. Manchester City is now number one in the league, and there is no better partner for training. Therefore, no matter what, this game against Manchester City will be Sheffield United went all out for the first battle, even if they lost points in the next round of the league, it doesn't matter, as long as they stay in the top six.

But if you play against Manchester City, it is not appropriate to play against each other like you played against Arsenal.

Arsenal is still in the recovery period, the team's state has not been adjusted to the best, and Van Persie is an absolutely dangerous offensive player at present, Manchester City is different.

This is a strong team that has been fighting for the top spot with Manchester United since the beginning of the league, and now Manchester United is also being suppressed by them. The state can only be described as terrifying.

After 43 rounds of the league, Manchester City won [-] and drew [-], blasting [-] goals and only conceding [-] goals. They are currently the only undefeated team in the Premier League.

The offensive firepower is fierce, the weak team is merciless, the defense is strong, the average conceded goal is not more than one goal per game, and they have defeated Manchester United 6-1 before.

To be honest, when seeing Manchester City's series of statistics in the team tactical meeting, the players of Sheffield United were under a lot of pressure.

But the team where young people occupy most of the starting positions, although inexperienced, has its advantages.

That is not afraid of strong enemies. While under pressure, the players of Sheffield United also feel the endless motivation in their bodies!

Wouldn't it be better for such a powerful opponent to defeat them at their home court and give them their first league defeat? !
Just like countless Premier League teams in later generations challenged Manchester City away, there is no need to mobilize at all. Playing against such a strong enemy and defeating them has become the biggest stimulation and motivation for the players, and the same is true for Sheffield United players.

Moreover, Speed ​​and the coaching staff have also formulated Sheffield United's best tactics at present, which is quick defense.

Manchester City's offense is strong, and they can often beat weak teams quickly, but Sheffield United is not comparable to those mid-lower teams. Manchester City conceded [-] goals in [-] games, and the defense looks good enough, but Sheffield United His defense is the number one in the Premier League this season!
The strong strangulation in the midfield and the solid defense make Sheffield United's defense very strong. So far this season, Sheffield United has scored [-] clean sheets in [-] games and only conceded [-] goals!

And with the growth of Matic, he and Medel will only make Sheffield United's midfield defense tougher and more difficult. Therefore, the match between Manchester City and Sheffield United can be regarded as the strongest conflict in the Premier League. .

One is playing the strongest offensive tactics, and the other is playing the strongest defensive counterattack tactics. This matchup has made countless neutral fans look forward to it.

After the game against Arsenal, Sheffield United has once again become one of the focuses of the media. Although most of the heat is on Manchester City, Sheffield United can be regarded as a chance, and it has been brushed hard A wave of attention.

Not only the confrontation between teams, but also between players. At least Maguire and Li Mo are currently being compared by a large number of fans with the top stars of the Premier League.

Thanks to the team's defensive system, Maguire's defensive statistics are particularly impressive. Many people have compared him with Kompany. Although the strength is definitely not as good, this comparison has already shown that Maguire Quill is now a growing celebrity.

Not to mention Li Mo, who currently tops the scorer list with Van Persie with [-] goals in the league. He is now the top scorer in the Premier League!
For forward players, goals mean everything, so now Aguero and Dzeko can only look up to Li Mo as challengers. Mo scored more goals than them, then Li Mo is the stronger one, Manchester City fans are powerless to refute this.

The shooter, the defensive core, and the triple duel between the teams once again drew the heat of this game to the fullest. Speed ​​wanted to keep a low profile.

But now Sheffield United can no longer keep a low profile. The semi-finals of the League Cup and the top four of the Premier League have achieved such results as a newly promoted team. Now not only England, but the entire European sports media are paying attention to Sheffield United. The record of the Philippine United is discussing how long the Sheffield United can continue to perform like this.

If Sheffield United finally wins the top four in the Premier League, then the entire European media will take out microscopes and analyze the whole process of Sheffield United's rise. Hot news of the period.

But this is something to say later. Now Sheffield United has not yet experienced the test of the Premier League devil's winter schedule. It will not be until March next year that we can roughly see where Sheffield United will eventually go. Therefore, although the media praised Sheffield United in a high-profile way performance, but with reservations.

Under the much-anticipated reports and publicity, on December 12, the Sheffield United team came to Manchester again.

When Sheffield United players came to this city for the first time this season, they played Manchester United. In that game, they challenged for the first place in the league and lost 0-2.

This time they played Manchester City, also challenging for the first place in the league, but they held a firm belief that the result would no longer be a powerless loss.

Mancini's speech before the game was full of confidence. Their goal today is to take all three points. After overtaking Manchester United, Manchester City's current opponent is only themselves. If you have to be cautious when playing Sheffield United, then There is no momentum to compete for the championship.

Speed ​​was very peaceful. He first praised Manchester City, and then said that Sheffield United will go all out to present a wonderful game to the fans.

But in private, Speed ​​asked the Sheffield United players to play tough, and to fight and strangle fiercely with Manchester City in the midfield, which was completely different from his gentleness when facing the media.

In the afternoon, players from both sides received final mobilization in the locker room.

After Li Mo waited for Speed ​​to finish emphasizing the last precautions, he tightened the captain's armband on his arm, and applauded for his teammates to gather around.

Before the official pre-match speech, Li Mo asked a question with a smile

"I suddenly remembered that when we played Chelsea, I said at the time that we wanted to fight for our own honor, flowers and praise. At that time, we played that game with the determination to fight for Chelsea. Did you guys think after that game, can we achieve this result today?"

The players of Sheffield United shook their heads after thinking about it.

At that time, Li Mo's pre-match speech was very passionate. Everyone thought that no matter what, they had to fight against Chelsea, and severely slapped the media who looked down on the team. After one-fifth, it is impossible for them to still be in the top four of the league and reach the semi-finals of the League Cup.

But the current situation is a reality. They are still one of the four best performing teams in the Premier League. They are only three games away from winning the League Cup. No one would have imagined that they could achieve such results today. Really It's like dreaming.

"Look, none of us expected to achieve today's results, but we have reached this position on our own, one after another, but this is not our limit. We all know that we can still do it." To do better, is it enough to reach today’s level? Are you satisfied?”

Li Mo asked again, and the Sheffield United players also spoke.

"I haven't won the championship yet, how can I be satisfied!"

"Not enough! I still have to win, I haven't won enough!"

"Continue to slap those media and let them know our true strength!"

Li Mo waited for his teammates to say that it was almost done, then nodded, and continued: "Yes, we are not satisfied, and this step is not enough! We also want to win the championship, not only the League Cup champion, but also the FA Cup, next season, next season, we still have to fight for the Premier League championship, let’s see how many championships are still waiting for us to compete in the European war! Maybe we are doomed to sacrifice the team’s performance this season Sharpen ourselves, but it doesn't matter, we can do our best in the limited number of games to prove that we have that strength!

We just need time to grow further. This is true, but it cannot be our excuse. Against a strong team, we cannot make any excuses for ourselves, and we cannot retreat half a step. That is the behavior of cowards!We are walking on a road full of thorns, but if we want to make history for the team, we must not have the slightest timidity!Do you have the confidence to defeat Manchester City head-on with me?Just at their home court, beat them, beat the number one in the league! "

Medel was the first to yell with a blushing face.

"Just do it! Let him Manchester United and Manchester City do it together! This time we will do Manchester City, and next time we will do Manchester United at our home court!"

"Blow up Manchester City! The enemies of Manchester United remember first, kick the Manchester City people's ass first today!"

"One more time! I want to celebrate wildly at their home stadium!"

"They don't want to score easily in front of us!"

The emotions of all the Sheffield United players were mobilized. Seeing this, Li Mo put his hands on the shoulders of his teammates beside him, leaned over and roared: "Fuck them! Next time beat Manchester United! Let the Manchester people crawl on us under the feet!!!”

Everyone applauded loudly, echoed Li Mo and followed him cursing out of the locker room.

Speed ​​doesn't know what the consequences of this fight with Manchester City will be. There may be injuries and downsizing, and it may greatly affect the players' state and physical reserves, but he thinks it's worth it!

When he saw the players walking out of the locker room with the strongest fighting spirit, he knew that no matter whether the game was won or lost, it would be beneficial to the growth of the Sheffield United team.

It is undoubtedly very unwise for the coaches of other Premier League teams to give up the practice of pinching soft persimmons and fighting against strong teams.

But they are all just ups and downs in the Premier League, racking their brains every season to figure out how to avoid relegation.

Speed ​​doesn't want to become that kind of person, and neither do his players. They have ambitions and want to win the championship, so they are destined to embark on such a road of constantly challenging the strong.

Only the teams that bravely challenge the strong can transform into strong, there is no other way!

※※※

Near [-] o'clock in the afternoon, players from both sides led their caddies and began to step onto the court, and the commentators who broadcast the game live all over the world also started a quick introduction.

In the studio of Sina Sports, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu, the golden Premier League commentary partners who are popular with the audience, also started their work on time.

Zhan Jun did not comment on the League Cup match between Sheffield United and Blackburn a few days ago. He watched the game at home with his friends and was addicted to the goals one after another.

But today when Sheffield United played against Manchester City, he couldn't help but start to worry about the physical condition of the Sheffield United players.

"Sheffield United finished their Carabao Cup match against Blackburn three days ago. I don't know if the Sheffield United players will be affected by physical problems today. Speed ​​didn't choose to rotate, and he still played the main team. It looks like they are going to compete with Manchester City!"

Zhang Lu was optimistic about Sheffield United's performance.

"Physical fitness still has an impact, but how to put it, I am still more optimistic about Sheffield United, not because of Xiao Li. From a purely tactical point of view, I think Sheffield United has a good chance to play defense. This season Sheffield United only conceded six goals in the league, and Manchester City only played Liverpool 1-1 before. If Sheffield United's defense is in place today, I think there is still hope to score points."

Zhan Jun echoed from the side.

"Yes! Vardy and Li Mo both scored hat-tricks in the League Cup. Their form seems to be very good, and this striker combination is also very suitable for counterattacks. Let's see how they perform today. Premier League The strongest conflict is about to begin!"

After picking the sides, Li Mo returned to his own half, and the players of Sheffield United were fully prepared, waiting for the kick-off!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the No.14 round of the Premier League, the match between Manchester City and Sheffield United officially started!

Both teams chose a four-four-two formation today. The difference is that Manchester City's midfielders are more inclined to press forward and attack, while Sheffield United's midfielders are more inclined to fight for defense.

On the front line, the combination of Sheffield United and Manchester City is also surprisingly similar. Both sides are almost a classic combination of one high and one fast.

However, Li Mo is more capable of holding the ball than Dzeko, and his speed is also faster. Sheffield United can be said to be "two fast", and can quickly form two forward arrows when counterattacking, putting pressure on Manchester City's defense.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester City did not rush to attack. David Silva and Nasri controlled the ball and patiently tested Sheffield United's defense. Yaya Toure did not press too much.

Obviously Mancini still has a full understanding of Sheffield United's style of play.

Sheffield United really likes to lure the opponent to press forward in the first 10 minutes of the game, and then wait for the opportunity to play an efficient and fast counterattack.

Mancini didn't want to give Sheffield United too many chances to counterattack, which would put too much pressure on Manchester City's defense. Li Mo's personal ability to hold the ball is also very strong. He was unwilling to take risks, so he formulated a patient penetration plan. offensive tactics.

After all, in terms of the skills of Manchester City players, penetrating is the safest way to control the ball. Aguero, Silva, and Nasri's small skills are very delicate. less chance of attack.

Yaya Toure first acted as a support point in the midfield to help Barry stabilize the defense in the midfield. Otherwise, if Barry was alone in the backcourt, it would be terrible for Sheffield United to counterattack. Barry is not a speedy defender. The waist is easily washed out.

Sheffield United is also patient here. Drinkwater and Matic sit in the middle. Matic on the left has more and more defensive experience. Medel on the right launched a frenzied sweep alone, forcing David Xi Ervadu had to withdraw one after another, giving more possession of the ball to Nasri and Yaya Toure.

Medel's one-man point-to-point entanglement ability is too strong. David Silva is just of average physical fitness. After being entangled by Medel, he can only choose to play the ball quickly, but Silva can also play his role when he retreats. He is just so comprehensive.

Jin can act as a second striker, deliver shells to the forward or score by himself. Retire can take on the heavy responsibility of organizing, or act as a lubricant for the midfield, helping another organization to share the pressure. Such a player is simply the perfect midfield that countless coaches dream of. .

This season, Manchester City's offense is so smooth and the firepower is so fierce. To a large extent, it is thanks to David Silva and Yaya Toure who have gradually adapted to the Premier League. In terms of performance, Manchester City has suppressed almost every game in the midfield.

This is the help that the technical leadership of the midfield brings to the team, but Sheffield United just likes to play such a technical midfielder.

Sheffield United is most famous for their strangling ability in the midfield. If the opponent is also a rough midfielder, the two sides will fight against each other, and it will not affect the progress of the game. But Manchester City's midfielder dare not go head-to-head with Sheffield United. .

Even Yaya Toure, who is physically fit, is beating his heart when he looks at Matic in the midfielder position of Sheffield United.

The opponent is a head taller than him, and it seems that his physical talent is also on the list. It is okay for him to press forward and bully the normal midfielders of other teams. Like Matic, it is not sure who bullies whom.

So the scene of the game became extremely stalemate from the beginning.

Medel pressed David Silva back, Yaya Toure looked at Matic, shook his head, and passed the ball to Nasri, who was also thin and weak, and Matic was in Matic. With the help of Tiqi, Nasri was also pushed back. It was a point-to-point restraint, which surprised the reporters.

But although Manchester City hasn't had any good chances yet, Sheffield United also has no chance to counterattack.

Because of Yaya Toure's retreat, Li Mo was pinched by Yaya Toure to assist Barry in the limited few counterattack opportunities, and he has not yet been able to hold the ball to the hinterland of Manchester City.

However, as the game time passed, the players of the two teams let go of their hands and feet. After probing, they did it with real swords and guns.

David Silva began to move frequently on the side and the center. Aguero could also get the ball after retracing, and cooperated with his own midfielder in a local space, tearing Sheffield United's midfield defense.

They were patient enough, and indeed found a few good offensive opportunities. After all, no matter how good the defense is, there will always be one or two mistakes.

And Sheffield United also changed their strategy. Li Mo started to feint and pulled away Yaya Toure's help defense. Sheffield United took the ball in the backcourt and quickly shifted. Go to the impact with Matt Ridge, and the effect will come out immediately.

After all, we have practiced counterattack tactics together for almost a year. Vardy and Matt Ridge are both very clever in their counterattack moves, and Li Mo is not only helping them to open the defense, Li Mo can also play They run behind to meet, and after getting the ball, Li Mo can do a lot of things.

Holding the ball and waiting for teammates to come up before attacking, or holding the ball and starting to break through, this is what Li Mo is good at now.

Moreover, Manchester City's defensive system must be as good as their conceded goals. To a large extent, they have conceded fewer goals due to their strong control ability in the midfield. Opponents may not be able to beat them. On the field, the defensive line has not been tested much, and naturally conceded fewer goals.

But when the opponent can frequently attack the Manchester City defense, can they really withstand it?

Li Mo expressed doubts about this, and put into practical actions to review Manchester City's defense.

Barry is a good player, but he poses too little threat to Li Mo, and he doesn't even need to play any dribbling skills. Li Mo can make Barry lose his temper by relying on speed, but under the defense of Yaya Toure , Li Mo has not yet had the opportunity to face Manchester City's defense alone, which makes him feel a pity.

The central defender combination of Kolo Toure and Kompany is still very powerful. Li Mo really wanted to fight Kompany, but for the sake of the team's overall offense, he still acted calmly and played the ball rationally. Passed to a teammate running to the open spot.

In the No.18 minute of the first half, Aguero passed Trippier after taking the ball from the wing, and then passed the ball to Dzeko at the top of the arc in the penalty area, giving Dzeko his first chance to shoot.

But Dzeko's rubbing shot was not strong, and Ji Wen easily hugged him. After 4 minutes, Li Mo beat Kolo Toure with a header in a high-speed opportunity. Joe Hart made a superb attack and scared the Manchester City team. The players and the fans at the scene were in a cold sweat!
Mancini yelled dissatisfiedly at the sidelines. Before the game, he repeatedly told the defenders to pay attention to Li Mo. Now it is only about [-] minutes into the first half. If Li Mo seizes the opportunity to score first, then The game will be very unfavorable to Manchester City.

Li Mo grinned regretfully. He felt that the ball was almost stable, but Joe Hart actually threw it out for him. It seems that except for the long shot, Joe Hart was quite sure about other shots.

After roaring to cheer up his teammates, Joe Hart looked at Li Mo with a serious expression.

This is definitely an extremely dangerous big man. He can grab some shots even when he is double-teamed, and he is so threatening that he can't pay too much attention to it.

The chances of the two teams have gradually increased, but after Li Mo's attack with super personal ability, Manchester City's backcourt players became nervous, no matter where he was, he would loudly remind his teammates Pay attention to his position.

However, Vardy got more opportunities because of this. After breaking the scoring drought against Arsenal, Vardy's confidence returned to him, and he became more decisive in running positions and grabbing points.

Li Mo took the ball to pass through many times, or flew the header behind him, allowing Vardy to grab a few shots, which was quite threatening, and Mancini couldn't sit still off the court.

"Damn it, why did another kid explode today!"

Vardy's activeness has made Sheffield United's counterattack more and more threatening. Although Vardy has not yet grown to the level of the wealthy killer behind him, his personal characteristics have been fully revealed.

The super-fast start-up speed and super shooting ability when counterattacking make him the best helper around Li Mo.

At least for now, his existence forced Manchester City to allocate some manpower to keep an eye on him, sharing a lot of pressure on Li Mo's shoulders.

The midfielders of the two teams became the absolute focus of the field at this moment, because they did not spare any effort to fight to make the intensity of the game a lot higher.

Although Nasri and Silva in the Manchester City midfielder are a little weaker, their personalities are not the one who is afraid of getting into trouble. If they can't fight their bodies, they use their technical advantages to control the ball. Decisively fouled frequently near the center circle, resolutely not easily giving Manchester City the opportunity to advance to the hinterland of Sheffield United with the ball.

But with Yaya Toure, Dzeko and Kompany, Manchester City's set pieces can also play a good effect.

Sheffield United is still playing a firm counterattack tactic. As long as there is a chance, it will either pass the ball to the wing for a quick push or directly pass from the backcourt to find Li Mo and Vardy who are running. Simple and rude but effective .

After all, a Li Mo is a very threatening counterattack point. Manchester City players just watched the game analysis video before, and they might not feel anything, but after they experienced it themselves, they felt the terrible oppression.

No one can snatch the ball from Li Mo's feet, this is the most outrageous point!
Unless foul tactics are adopted.

But Manchester City is also afraid of Sheffield United's set-pieces. Maguire, Matic, and Li Mo are three people who go into the penalty area. Who is not afraid of this? Naturally, Manchester City's players are not willing to easily play in their own half. Foul, can only pinch Li Mo forcing him to transfer the ball out.

In the No.306 minute of the first half, Manchester City got a good offensive opportunity in the Sheffield United half with Nasri's wonderful dribble on the right.

Silva cruised to the middle position. Nasri pushed forward a certain distance and decisively knocked the ball back. At this time, Medel had not had time to make up the defense. Silva did not waste time after getting the ball easily and decisively at the front of the penalty area A straight kick was sent!
Aguero starts very fast!
Matthew Lorton didn't keep up at the first time. Seeing that Aguero was about to catch up with the ball and shoot, Maguire decisively shoveled the ball out of the penalty area, and then Aguero was also caught by him. legs tripped!
The players of the Manchester City team quickly reached out to signal the referee, regardless of whether Maguire touched the ball first, they must fight for this penalty opportunity!
But the referee continued to run with the ball, signaling the game to continue. He didn't think it was a penalty!

The players of the Manchester City team seemed to explode in an instant. Yaya Toure, who was closest to the referee, immediately went to the referee to put pressure on him, but Matthew Lorton came back to his senses and quickly saved the ball before going out of the touchline. Bigfoot drives the ball forward!
Speed ​​yelled and counterattacked, while Mancini panicked on the other side and let his players speed back to the defense.

Vardy has already plugged in at high speed on the wing!

Clichy went forward and failed to come back. There were no Manchester City defenders in front of Vardy. This was the best chance for Sheffield United to counterattack in the first half!
Li Mo started to sprint with all his strength in the middle of the road. Vardy had practiced crossing from the wing, just to deal with such a situation. At this moment, Li Mo believed that Vardy could pass the ball, just like Vardy had believed in him countless times Pass the same.

"Come on, Jamie!"
