Chapter 174 Fight the Blues again, don't wait for me Boas, I'm afraid Speed ​​will misunderstand
Speed ​​still gave the players a day off as usual, and this time they have a week for recovery training. Although the time is not too much, it is better than the double match in the previous week.

Li Mo finally waited for Zhang Linpeng and Huang Bowen at home after resting for half a day.

"Damn it, I thought the two of you couldn't figure it out. How can I say it? Is it right?"

Li Mo greeted Maguire to help carry the luggage for the two brothers from China, and at the same time asked the two about the current situation of their original club.

The South Korean K-League finals ended in December, and Huang Bowen also won the championship with Jeonbuk Hyundai. It was in the AFC Champions League final that Jeonbuk Hyundai lost to their opponents, but this season was relatively successful for Huang Bowen.

The domestic league that Zhang Linpeng participated in has long been over, and he also won the league championship with the team. It stands to reason that the two of them have more time. Li Mo asked them to talk to the club first to see what the club meant. It dragged on until January.

Li Mo asked Mendez for help before, and asked his third brother Hao Junmin to inquire about the team that is currently suitable for Huang Bowen and Zhang Linpeng. After finally clearing up the relationship, he got a few places to try out for different teams. But these two buddies have not come to Europe for a long time, Li Mo almost thought that they would not be able to come.

Zhang Linpeng and Huang Bowen couldn't hide the tiredness on their faces. They followed Li Mo and brought their luggage into the house before sitting on the sofa and talking about their experiences during this period.

Zhang Linpeng is fine. He was affected by injuries this season, and he is not considered the main force in the team. When he said that he wanted to study abroad, although the team management disagreed at the beginning, but under the guidance of Director Xu In the end, Zhang Linpeng still got a chance to come out.

But the Guangzhou team also has conditions. When they introduced Zhang Linpeng, they spent tens of millions of funds. Zhang Linpeng can go abroad if he wants to, but the transfer fee must satisfy the team.

Li Mo thinks this condition of the Guangzhou team is nothing, it is very reasonable, after all, they spent a lot of money at the beginning, and now the player wants to leave, the minimum requirement is definitely not to lose money.

But in terms of the financial situation of the Bundesliga second team, if you want to satisfy the Guangzhou team, you have to spend at least more than 100 million euros to introduce Zhang Linpeng, which is a bit difficult.

But there is always a way, it’s good to let people go. If Zhang Linpeng becomes the main force in the team next year, the Guangzhou team may not let people go. Now it’s almost Zhang Linpeng’s last chance to go abroad, so he has to seize it just do.

Huang Bowen is a bit difficult to deal with. He has performed very well in Jeonbuk Hyundai this season, and the head coach also trusts him. When Huang Bowen expressed his idea of ​​going abroad, his head coach disagreed fiercely.

This grind lasted for almost two months. Huang Bowen respected his head coach very much, and he also spent a lot of effort to talk through the stubborn old man.

However, Jeonbuk Hyundai also has the same attitude as the Guangzhou team about Huang Baiwen's overseas study. They will only discuss this matter if they pay enough transfer fees.

After all, Huang Bowen still has a one-year contract with Jeonbuk Hyundai, so he must not be shameless. He can only come out to see the results of the trial training, and then find a way to stay in Europe.

After Li Mo understood the situation, he didn't say anything else, let the two of them sit down for a while and rest, and then he sent a message to Mendes.

The two of them had told their agents in advance that they wanted to go abroad. Their agents would definitely follow them. However, the local agents have no contacts in foreign leagues and can't help them. Mende Si simply sent a few people to handle this matter.

Now the team entrusted by Li Mo to form Mendes is helping to contact the Bundesliga teams, while Zhang Linpeng and Huang Bowen's agents are coordinating the time. Since the two have already arrived in Europe, it is almost certain to try It's training time.

"You two should take a good rest today. Tomorrow our team will resume training. I'll see if we can get our boss to agree to allow the two of you to follow the training for two or three days. By then, you can go to trial training and have a good state."

Li Mo briefly explained that Mendes hadn't replied to him yet, so he probably was still busy, so he called Speed ​​directly.

After briefly explaining the matter, Li Mo asked Speed ​​with some embarrassment if he could "make an exception" and let his two teammates from the national team train with the team for two or three days.

Speed ​​is still a little hesitant, after all, this matter is indeed not in line with the club's rules, but Li Mo is the one who made the request, and now that the club and Huaguo's sponsors are getting closer, Speed De finally agreed.

However, joint training is impossible, because the training plan is arranged in advance, and it is impossible to change it for outsiders. Of course, Li Mo has no objection to this. Speed ​​agreed to practice together, and Li Mo estimated that the two would not be able to integrate.

In terms of the training intensity and pace of the Premier League, the two of them simply can't keep up. Don't worry about the trial training before the time comes, and your confidence will be hit first.

After driving away Maguire who was trying to communicate with the two of them in his self-taught bad Chinese, Li Mo told them about the arrangements for the next few days.

Both Zhang Linpeng and Huang Bowen seemed very pleasantly surprised. Being able to train with Sheffield United players was something they had never thought about, nor did they dare to think about!
But Li Mo also vaccinated them in advance, at least let them have a psychological preparation for the training that will start tomorrow, so that there will be no failure to complete the training task.

Zhang Linpeng patted his chest and said that he would never embarrass Li Mo. Huang Bowen was looking forward to tomorrow's training content and nodded firmly.

Li Mo didn't say much, and took the two of them to tidy up the guest room. In the evening, everyone ate an extremely sumptuous meal in the room. The portion surprised both Zhang Linpeng and Huang Bowen.

"Do you usually eat like this?"

Pointing to the stacked fish, steaks, and a lot of bread, potatoes and vegetables, Zhang Linpeng said in amazement.

Li Mo, on the other hand, was eating madly. At the same time, he beckoned the two to start quickly, and said vaguely: "The last meal at home before training must be eaten well. I will have a training meal at the club tomorrow. Seeing these fried steaks No? There are no such things in the training meal, so hurry up."

Huang Bowen took a closer look at the "fried steak" that Li Mo said. It was completely different from the fried steak in the hotel. It was fried with a small amount of olive oil until it was ripe, and there was no sauce. This kind of food is popular in Li Mo. In the mouth, it sounds like a "well-fed" specification?

But seeing how the other people ate deliciously, the two of them also felt a little hungry. They forked up the fish and steak seasoned only with salt, and ate them in big mouthfuls.

The bread was rather smelly, and the potatoes and vegetables were purely boiled, without any sauce. However, Zhang Linpeng and Huang Bowen felt fine when they ate like this occasionally. At the same time, they also liked the club's "training meal" in Li Mo's mouth. Even more curious.

That night, Li Mo and his teammates strictly followed the schedule before training and went to bed early. Zhang Linpeng and Huang Bowen also went to bed before ten o'clock because of the long flight, just like Li Mo and the others.

At 08:30 the next morning, Li Mo got up on time, woke up the two of them, and then took a quick shower, without having breakfast, and went directly to the club for a meal.

Originally, Zhang Linpeng and Huang Bowen thought there would be training in the morning, but they had breakfast in the canteen of the Sheffield United Club, and then Li Mo explained to them that there would be recovery training in the afternoon, usually on the first day of recovery The training was less than two hours, and after that it was their own personal time.

This kind of training method is completely different from that in China. Zhang Linpeng is amazed, and Huang Bowen is also a little puzzled. They often have two training sessions in the morning and afternoon, and the total time is two and a half, or even three hours. How can the Premier League team The training arrangement is so "strange"?
Li Mo grinned and didn't speak. After resting for a while, he took the two of them to the weight room of the club for a while. Just put them to sleep.

"sleep?"

The two looked at each other, but they were taken to the players' dormitory by Li Mo. Seeing that Li Mo and Maguire were really "sleeping", Zhang Linpeng and Huang Bowen also scratched their heads and could only lie down on the empty bed and take a nap with their eyes closed. stand up.

After being woken up by Li Mo again, both Zhang Linpeng and Huang Bowen felt extremely good physically and mentally.

"Are you ready? Don't cry tired later."

Li Mo smiled and handed the sports vests to the two. Zhang Linpeng and Huang Bowen also had a few words of laughter with Li Mo. They didn't think they would not be able to survive today's training.

After all, Li Mo said yesterday that it was just restorative training. If the two of them couldn't bear it, they might as well just fly back to China today, because they couldn't afford to lose that person.

Li Mo still smiled and did not say much. He grew up under the youth training system in England, and he has long been accustomed to the intensity and daily training volume of the English professional league. When he returned to China to participate in the competition, he felt that the country Team training is too "easy".

Compared with Sheffield United's preparation training, which was still in the British Championship at the time, the training volume of the national team really couldn't put any pressure on Li Mo. Zhang Linpeng and Huang Bowen were used to staying in the Asian League, although they were not unbearable. There is a lot of training today, but Li Mo is looking forward to the expressions of the two of them later, it must be very interesting~
Zhang Linpeng is considered to be the top player in China in terms of physical fitness, and he is also considered to be a first-class player in Asia. He has always been more confident in his confrontation ability and physical fitness, but after an hour, he could only walk with difficulty. Gritting his teeth drenched, he persisted, praying in his heart that his own confrontation training would be completed quickly!
Matt Ridge looked curiously at Zhang Linpeng, who was completing the last few sets of confrontation training with the physical coach, and turned to Li Mo and said, "Is your teammate from the national team unable to walk later? Jones seems to have made a plan for him. You are too ruthless to have a slightly higher number of confrontation groups than usual."

Li Mo drank the energy drink, wiped his sweat and squinted his eyes slightly to look at Zhang Linpeng, who was gritting his teeth on the sidelines.

"They have wasted their talents for too long. If they want to stay in the European League, they must be conscious. The lost time cannot be regained, but there is still a chance to work hard to adapt now. Matt, it's not that I am ruthless, but They have to pass this test sooner or later, instead of not being able to keep up with the rhythm during the trial training, it is better to let them know now what level of confrontation rhythm they are about to face."

As soon as Li Mo finished speaking, the assistant coach blew the whistle, and their short rest time was over. Next, it was their "simple" confrontation training match.

"Coach, I want to team up with Li!"

Matt Ridge quickly raised his hand to signal, but the assistant coach mercilessly denied Matt Ridge's request.

"Squad against today, Matt, you're on the opposite side of Lee."

"Shet! This must be shady!"

"Hahahahahaha."

The other Sheffield United players on the field laughed loudly. Seeing that the atmosphere in the team was good, Speed ​​nodded in satisfaction.

At this time, Zhang Linpeng on the sidelines finally completed his confrontation group, and was about to sit down on the ground with a howl. The physical coach of Sheffield United hurriedly supported him, and said to him "good job", At the same time, he motioned for him to walk slowly around the field to recover his physical strength.

On the other side, Huang Bowen had just finished his 30-meter sprint group, and trotted around the field at the prompt of the staff, but his weak legs and pale face made the following staff wonder if he would be okay later To spit it out.

The two quickly met on the sidelines, and after looking at each other, they both smiled wryly.

"I finally understand. The three-hour training in China, two training sessions a day, and three training sessions a day are all nonsense! The training intensity is much worse than this. This is training! I just felt like I was going to be overwhelmed." Can't stop lying on the ground!"

Zhang Linpeng grabbed a handful of his long hair, and it turned out to be a handful of sweat. Huang Bowen's expression gradually returned to normal, but he replied panting.

"Stop talking, I'm fucking, I almost vomited just now!"

This retching startled Zhang Linpeng, and he quickly reached out to cover Huang Bowen's mouth: "My brother! Don't vomit here, our faces will be gone!"

"Get out, get out! I'm slacking off, let's go, I'll have relaxation exercises later, no matter what, I have to finish this training, come on!"

Huang Bowen patted Zhang Linpeng's hand away, then gave it to him, and said to himself.

The two brothers supported each other and walked slowly around the field. Li Mo felt relieved when he saw this scene.

Anyway, it's a good start, at least the two of them have felt the training intensity of the top league teams, and with the correct understanding, they will have a firm awareness later.

When Li Mo finished today's recovery training task, Zhang Linpeng and Huang Bowen were already lying on the turf, letting the physical therapist give them a muscle relaxation massage, it seemed that they didn't even bother to cry out for pain.

"I will practice a few more sets of shots. You can go to the swimming pool with Maguire to relax after you are done. I will have strength training later. Maguire will take you to the cafeteria for dinner. Just follow him .”

Li Mo confessed a few words, Zhang Linpeng and Huang Bowen were powerless to complain about his behavior of livestock, so they could only give him a thumbs up.

If it was difficult for them to judge how much Li Mo was ahead of the players of the national team before, after today's training, they have clearly realized the huge gap between the two sides.

They were exhausted like dead dogs after the normal one and a half hours of training. Li Mo had to practice more after the training match, and he still had the energy to do strength training.

After Li Mo thanked the physiotherapists of the two teams, he went to complete his extra training plan. By the time he returned home after eating at the club, it was already after six o'clock in the evening.

For the next two days, Zhang Linpeng and Huang Bowen followed Li Mo to the training base of Sheffield United and trained with the first team of Sheffield United.

And in these two days, the two of them have also seen what is called a "normal" Premier League team's training intensity.

Just as Li Mo said, the first day of training that they felt almost exhausted could only be regarded as a small recovery scene. When Sheffield United resumed the normal training for two hours in the afternoon, it directly made the two of them feel serious about football. A world-shaking change has taken place.

Zhang Linpeng and Huang Bowen felt the training they received at the Sheffield United training base, the tactical lessons they followed, the team meetings they attended, including meals at the base, post-training recovery physiotherapy, and team doctor’s advice. : Football seems to have become two completely different things in China and in Europe.

This is no longer the professional football they are familiar with. After experiencing painful training and cognitive confusion, both of them began to change their mentality.

That is what Li Mo called "enlightenment".

If you want to stay and play in the European League, you have to experience the intensity of the European League at close range. Although training is completely different from competition, you can also know what the rhythm of the game is like through experience training.

Studying abroad is not something that can be achieved simply by talking about it. You must have the awareness, the awareness to understand, learn, and adapt, and finally have the confidence to stay firmly.

Just like Hao Junmin at the beginning, Li Mo just woke up Hao Junmin and let him know that what he wants is to stay in the Bundesliga meaninglessly, just for the so-called face and the pride of domestic fans. I still want to really take root in the European League, return to the Bundesliga step by step, and tell everyone who laughed at him that he has the strength to gain a foothold in the Bundesliga.

The mentality must be correct. Without the correct mentality, active adaptation and aggressiveness, it is almost impossible to study abroad successfully. From this point of view, Zhang Linpeng and Huang Bowen are very lucky.

Li Mo almost prepared for them, at least from the first day of participating in Sheffield United's training, the mentality of the two of them has been corrected.

They don't need to spend a year in Europe like Hao Junmin. Li Mo put difficulties in front of them from the very beginning, in terms of training, diet, and communication.

When they face up to all the difficulties and have the right perception, if they can still make up their minds to stay in Europe, then they have made the "right" preparation.

To Li Mo's relief, the two of them did not back down, but instead further strengthened their determination to study abroad.

Seeing the gap and wanting to catch up, this is the national teammate that Li Mo admires. For such teammates, it is worthwhile to spend some time and energy to help them jump out of the domestic and Asian leagues.

The three of them went to Manchester to visit Deng Zhuoxiang, who is still recovering. On the sixth day in England, Zhang Linpeng and Huang Bowen finally got ready and set off for Germany.

There, their agent and the team appointed by Mendes have found a trial club for them. As long as there is no problem with the trial training, the rest will be negotiated by this temporary team with their original club. .

The possibility of a direct buyout is not very high. After all, it is unrealistic for the German Bundesliga team to directly spend more than 100 million euros in the winter window. If you perform well in the middle, it is not difficult to negotiate a transfer.

Li Mo can only wish the trial training of the two of them all the best in his heart, and the advice he gave at the time of parting was similar to the advice he had given to Hao Junmin.

Be active, communicate more with teammates, base yourself on defense, and show your versatility and discipline.

It doesn't matter how outstanding you are in a certain aspect, at least active defensively, able to play two to three positions, and players with good discipline on the field are the favorites of every coach.

Moreover, Zhang Linpeng and Huang Bowen's strengths are also good. Li Mo thinks that they will have no problem playing in the second division. After a season of more experience, it is also possible to play in the Bundesliga in the future.

However, the final result of studying abroad still depends on the efforts of the two of them. As long as they are strong enough, all obstacles are not obstacles.

After Li Mo dealt with this incident, he also calmed down and continued to prepare for the next round of the league with his teammates.

After playing a wave of weak teams, Sheffield United is about to host Chelsea in the No.20 second round of the Premier League.

This is the second meeting with "Big Brother" this season. Looking at Matic, who is performing better and better in the team, and Bertrand, who has always been stable, who in Sheffield United does not feel kind to Chelsea? Woolen cloth?
I heard that the coaching staff is also staring at Chelsea's youth training players recently to see if they can get another big prize, but Chelsea politely refused.

Now Boas feels like he is scratching his head because of Essien's injuries from time to time, so the better Matic performs, the more uncomfortable Chelsea will feel.

The point is that they almost gave Matic to Benfica as an addition to the introduction of David Luiz. Sheffield United did not take advantage of the fire. They brought in Matic with real money. At that time, Chelsea’s management thought it was done. It's a good deal.

But who would have thought that Speed ​​would buy Matic and directly transform it into a midfielder?

After retreating from the central midfielder to the midfielder position, Matic showed an extremely dazzling defensive talent, or it cannot be said to be a talent. Now Matic has played the main position in Sheffield United and played very well.

He's already one of the top midfielders in the Premier League.

Of course, the local tyrants will not regret it for being blind for a while. After all, they are not short of money. If Matic grows into a top midfielder in Sheffield United in the future, then they will just spend money to buy it back, and Sheffield There is no need for the relationship between Sheffield United to become stagnant, after all, there are many good players in the Sheffield United team~
Apart from the fact that the big brother played badly when they met for the first time, there was no grievance between Sheffield United and Chelsea, so the smell of gunpowder before the game was not strong, but Villas-Boas started to "work hard" again , making Speed ​​very upset.

"Lee is definitely the strongest center forward in the Premier League now, and he is still growing. We can't even imagine where the limit of his talent is. His performance is absolutely worthy of going to any giant in football. Of course, Of course, I am still very optimistic about him, his performance is fantastic, Shearer is right, his performance is 'phenomenal'!"

When Boas said such a paragraph in an interview, the major sports media in England began to report rumors about the transfer of Chelsea and Limo.

Speaking of which, from the beginning of the season to the present, Li Mo has been associated with many teams, from Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United to Real Madrid, and now to Chelsea, all of them are well-known football giants or powerful players team, and Boas can be regarded as the most persistent coach to Li Mo.

His "master" Mourinho was unable to publicly express his interest in Li Mo due to the balance of the team's locker room, but he had no worries about this at all, and he always made no secret of his dislike for Li Mo when facing the media. Li Mo's favorite.

In private, Boas has always expressed to Abramovich that if he can bring Li Mo to Stamford Bridge, he will be 100% sure to lead Chelsea back to the Premier League throne. Of course, if he wants to win the Champions League, he must return The structure of the team continues to rejuvenate.

Relying on this group of old players, he is not sure to win the Champions League.

Abramovich understands this. He likes Boas very much. After all, Boas works very hard and communicates with him sincerely, but he still can't make up his mind to stand between the old players and Boas.

These old players are all the contributors to the rise of the Blues and their reputation in Europe. Abramovich may not be merciful to the coaches, but he has always been very warm to the players.

Asking him to raise the butcher's knife and treat Lampard and Drogba toughly, he can't do it, so he is very hesitant now.

On the one hand, he is still eager to win the Champions League. Chelsea is only one Champions League away now, which can completely lay the foundation of the giants. The transformation of Chelsea is difficult.

In this matter, Abramovich understands Boas, but he is unwilling to stand directly on Boas's side. In such a chaotic situation, he has never expressed his position on whether to introduce Li Mo, but let the team manager figure it out .

And watching the time of the winter window pass day by day, Boas is also anxious, and finally speaks out again before the match against Sheffield United. It can be said that it is another undisguised solicitation of Li Mo, and the media will naturally wantonly publicity.

However, Li Mo accepted the media interview very directly this time, and reiterated that he is now 100% focused on Sheffield United and will not consider any team's interest.

The last time there was a scandal with Real Madrid, Speed ​​was very annoyed. Li Mo naturally knew what to do this time, and the whole sentence in the interview had the same meaning:
Boas, don't wait for me, I'm afraid Speed ​​will misunderstand, I'm going to stay at Sheffield United, just give up!

After Li Mo made a response, Boas finally stopped, and Chelsea's old players were very tired of Boas's behavior.

Since he almost fell out with Lampard, Boas wants to continue to shake Drogba's position. The key is that Torres' performance has not been good. He complained many times when he couldn't find a suitable center. Naturally, it will be heard by the players, and now Torres is also annoyed by him.

Now a group of old players in the team are grouping together and rejecting Villas-Boas. Although Chelsea qualified first in the Champions League group, the weak performance in the league is a fact that cannot be ignored.

Amid such turmoil and turmoil, the whole Chelsea team came to Sheffield, which also brought a lot of media attention.

Sheffield United did not know that there were so many twists and turns in Chelsea, they still treated this game as an important game.

After the main players rested for a round, this game can finally be played in full, and the all-main Sheffield United against Chelsea, which has recently grabbed points in the league, will undoubtedly attract the attention of fans and the media.

In this round of the league, there are only three focus games in total. Apart from Sheffield United vs. Chelsea, there are only Manchester City vs. Tottenham and Arsenal vs. Manchester United.

The game between Sheffield United and Chelsea is the first game of this round of the league, so half an hour before the start of the game, it was already full of enthusiasm. Fans were discussing the performance of the players on the Internet, guessing score.

On January 1st, at 21:13 pm, the focus of this morning game started on time!
Sheffield United's main players all came out, and they still played their most powerful four-four-two formation. Chelsea also sacrificed a four-four-two formation, but Drogba did not start. Today is Torres and Sturli Odd partner striker.

Mikel's injury forced Boas to send Meireles to play as a midfielder. Essien came back from injury. Boas did not dare to let the African buffalo start directly. Lampard still sits in the middle. Mata and Ramirez.

Despite the deadlock with Lampard, Boas will still use the magic lamp of the Blues in important games, and he wants to abandon it but has to rely on it. Boas is also embarrassing now.

Chelsea's defense today is Terry and David Luiz partnering to play double central defenders, Ashley Cole on the left, Bosingwa on the right, Cech is still the goalkeeper.

Seeing Bosingwa again, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Mo's mouth, causing Bosingwa to sound the alarm in an instant.

The last time he played against Sheffield United, the tragic memory of being single-point blasted by Li Mo has always surfaced in his mind. He was completely beaten by Li Mo in that game. Now seeing Li Mo's malicious eyes, Bosingwa subconsciously trembled in his calves.

It is very similar to Senderos who was about to face Drogba a few years ago. It is said that before playing against Chelsea, Senderos would be so nervous that his scalp would sweat during training. I don’t know if it is true or not, but Now Bosingwa really felt the fear.

Because Li Mo doesn't follow the rules at all!
A big center is doing the job of blasting with the ball. The key is to catch him and play so that he doesn't have to worry about it.

Today, David Luiz, who plays right center back, is an optimist. Although he did not play in Chelsea's first game against Sheffield United, he has also seen Li Mo's wonderful performance with his own eyes, but he is still the first time He comforted Bosingwa and said that he would help him relieve the pressure on defense.

However, Sheffield United did not run wildly and press Chelsea's players from the very beginning like they did when they played against Chelsea for the first time. The field is contested.

Such a dignified posture of playing against Chelsea made many reporters at the scene sigh with emotion.

After more than half a season of experience, Sheffield United has transformed!

From the challengers when they first played against Chelsea, to the strong players who are firmly in the top four of the Premier League and waiting for Chelsea to challenge, the main players of Sheffield United have really grown too fast!

Li Mo also stayed in Chelsea's half with Vardy honestly, and didn't mean to retreat to catch the ball.

Now in Sheffield United's main midfield lineup, there is another Matic in the ball-holding point, and Li Mo rarely needs to retreat to help control the field. While Li Mo is growing faster, his teammates are also getting stronger. The stronger he is, the lighter the burden on his shoulders becomes.

At least in this game against Chelsea, Sheffield United's midfielder is completely worthwhile, and even relying on their strong pressing ability, they have begun to gradually erode the ball space of Chelsea's midfielders.

Medel, Drinkwater, and Matridge pressed forward, and Matic dragged back to intercept. This set of midfield configuration made Boas on the sidelines feel sore.

Sweeping, counterattacking, organizing, intercepting, Sheffield United's midfield combination has all these characteristics, and they are all done very well. If it is in his hands, replace Matt Ridge with Juan Mata, then this lineup Will kill the Premier League!

It's a pity that I can't change it.

Boas can't understand why Sheffield United can have such a midfield combination that grows up to be a giant standard. In his opinion, these players should have been divided up by the major teams early on, but no one cares about them. , Let Sheffield United succeed in picking up the leak, Speed ​​is simply a huge piece of shit luck!

Of course, the biggest shit luck is the boy on the Sheffield United striker.

Boas looked at Li Mo's eyes almost turned red.

What a perfect center!

Strong and young, but such a center forward rejected him, and also rejected Chelsea. He would rather stay in a newly promoted team like Sheffield United than accept the solicitation of the Premier League giants. Boas didn't understand, he didn't understand at all!
"You will know that your choice is wrong, Li, wake up early."

Sighing in his heart, Boas returned his attention to the game. Trich is already plugged in at high speed.

It has become a habit of all Sheffield United players to counterattack quickly after successfully stealing the ball. The two full-backs also pressed forward immediately. Vardy approached Chelsea's central defender, and Li Mo returned. Withdraw, act as the first catch point.

However, Chelsea seems to have rehearsed their tactics against Sheffield United before the game. After losing the ball, Ramirez and Lampard moved to the two sides for the first time, blocking Sheffield United's sideline and counterattacking. Rice was staring at Li Mo's position, and didn't go up to grab it at all, just to delay Li Mo's advance with the ball.

Even Sturridge in the front and Mata in the front immediately retreated to assist the defense. Li Mo had a panoramic view of such changes. He quickly signaled Medel to control the ball and not to pass the ball directly forward.

Seeing this, Medel simply took the ball and took a few steps horizontally, then passed the ball back to Drinkwater.

"Boas seems to have come prepared. This is definitely a defensive tactic that has been rehearsed for a long time. Otherwise, how could the Chelsea players react so quickly."

Speed ​​stood on the sidelines with his arms around him, raised his eyebrows and looked at Boas on the other side.

And on the field at this time, Drinkwater was not in a hurry. After looking at the defensive formation of the Chelsea players, he began to pass the ball in the midfield and mobilized his own wide players to slowly press forward.

Since the counterattack is not successful, it is time to find opportunities step by step. Sheffield United is not the team at the beginning of the league. It has gradually matured in terms of running-in and tactical play.

Moreover, according to several Chelsea midfielders, Sheffield United also did a detailed research and analysis before the game. Drinkwater and his teammates naturally knew how to target them.

After Mikel was injured, Villas-Boas had to send Meireles or Essien, who had just returned from injury, to play as a midfielder.

If Essien is in better form, Sheffield United will have a hard time advancing in the midfield in this game, but it will be much easier to deal with Meireles.

It's not that Meireles is not good enough, but that he is simply not suitable for playing the position of single midfielder.

Meirelles can be said to be a midfielder who can gain a foothold in the giants. He will be a great assistant in the midfield. Attacking, defending, connecting, he can do these tasks, but he cannot be entrusted with important tasks , Let him be the core of offense or defense.

Because he has the characteristics of a nerve knife, it's okay to put him in the offensive position. If he doesn't perform well, he just loses the ball. attack opportunity!
Drinkwater waited for the players on the two sides to press up, and then began to wait for Li Mo's reaction, and Li Mo did not disappoint him. After pulling Vardy to explain a few words, he began to pull sideways to cooperate with his teammates and began to make ribs Coordination and advancement of the internal position.

The position of Li Mo made Meirelles subconsciously run over. Lampard even had to retreat to fill his position. Vardy was standing at the top of the arc of Chelsea's penalty area at this time. Li's attention also pulled Lampard so that he could not easily leave his position to defend.

However, Meirelles followed Li Mo with a single muscle, but he didn't know that when Lampard also retreated, the hinterland area vacated by Chelsea had been regarded by Drinkwater as his back garden.

Defensive midfielders, especially single midfielders, especially test the player's sense of position. A good defensive midfielder just gets stuck in the position, which will make the offensive player very uncomfortable, but Meireles is obviously not this type Players, Villas-Boas can't do anything about it. There are only a few players in the Chelsea team who can play midfielders, and he has no choice.

In the No. 16 minute of the first half, Drinkwater, who was almost standing at the top of the arc in Chelsea's half, had waited long enough.

When Li Mo took away Meireles again, Lampard retreated, and Ramires had to approach the center to defend, Drinkwater directly kicked a long pass, Bertrand It was like a sharp arrow piercing through Chelsea's empty right side, and Boas, who was on the sidelines, hurriedly shouted back to the defense.

But when Bertrand met the attacking Bosingwa, he simply sent the ball from the wing to the rib space. Matridge, who also inserted at high speed, continued to dribble the ball forward. Lampard and David Louis hurried towards Matt Ridge to intercept.

This is a very typical move to move the whole body. When Chelsea's defensive center of gravity is tilted to the right area, Matt Ridge is very confident in rushing to make an arc pass before David Luiz intercepts!
Vardy went straight into the middle of Chelsea's penalty area to grab a point. Terry followed subconsciously, but he reacted quickly, stopped and ran back, but it was too late, because the ball is always faster than people. !
A mistake in judgment by the defensive side may result in a loss of the ball. Terry made a wrong judgment at the first time, and Chelsea will have to pay the price for it.

Li Mo opened his arms slightly to resist Ashley Cole's interference. Matt Ridge's cross landed very comfortably. Li Mo almost didn't need to take off during the running. Drilled into the near corner of the goal from Petr Cech's armpit!

"Matridge's cross! Li Mo!!! The ball went in!!!!!! Perfect teamwork! Chelsea stopped Sheffield United's quick counterattack, but they couldn't stop Sheffield United's pass this time Coordination! It's so beautiful, who said that Sheffield United can only rely on defense and counterattack? They can also score beautiful goals!"

Li Mo laughed and pointed to his teammates behind him when he saw the football entering the net. He slowed down and signaled his teammates to go to the corner flag area to celebrate with him.

Speed ​​is also very excited off the court. His team has been able to play more changes on the offensive end. This is undoubtedly an important step in the growth of Sheffield United!
Leading by a goal in less than 10 minutes of the opening, the confidence of the Sheffield United players soared.

They are already a team that can suppress Chelsea with dignity!
