Chapter 183 Evolved Sheffield United, Detonating Li Mo
Ferguson admires Speed ​​very much, and also appreciates the rise of Sheffield United this season. Before the game, he made an appointment with Speed ​​to have a drink together after the game.

But appreciation is appreciation, Ferguson gave the Manchester United players a death order for this game, they must score points, and the worst must be a draw!

Judging from the current form of the standings, Manchester United really dare not lose easily. If the game is tied, then Ferguson can barely accept it. He is two points ahead of Manchester City, which still occupies a lot of initiative.

But judging from the speeches of Sheffield United players before the game, this game is destined to be a winner.

For Li Mo, Ferguson is actually very greedy. Although he is not as "obsessed" as Boas, Ferguson is also ready to spend a lot of money on people.

He likes young players like Li Mo very much, just like when he made up his mind to introduce Cristiano Ronaldo.

Young, talented, ambitious and hardworking.

And Li Mo is better at management, just look at Li Mo's private life during the year he played in the first team of Sheffield United.

The biggest scandal turned out to be taking two young girls for a run on the street at night!

This is a picture that stuns the reporters of The Sun newspaper. The Sun newspaper did not give up, and sent an ace reporter to guard Li Mo's villa, only to see Li Mo go out for a walk with his dog, and go to the training base for extra training. The scene of cooking at home with teammates after returning home.

Even that dog is a fucking male dog, Li Mo's villa really has no entry and exit of the opposite sex at all.

The ace reporter of the Sun newspaper followed for three days and almost broke himself in the end!
At that time, fans all over England talked about it for a long time, and the coaches of their teams naturally read the reports.

A young talent who is almost 100% focused on football, Ferguson is very tempted, and now Manchester United is not short of money, he would rather wait and see how far Li Mo can grow this season, even if it will be for He didn't care about spending tens of millions more.

However, Li Mo's recent speech made Ferguson also feel guilty.

This kid doesn't seem to be very willing to come to Manchester United. Those "dangerous" people who want to beat Manchester United will only make Manchester United fans hate him.

At the beginning of the game, Li Mo's extremely active running made Ferguson frown.

"Is he really not considering coming to Manchester United at all?"

Saying something in his heart, Ferguson could only shake his head.

Anyway, the matter of introducing Li Mo will have to be done this summer at the earliest. Let’s wait and see at that time. The big deal is to hit a number that Sheffield United can’t refuse. The most important thing at this time is to compete with Manchester City for the league championship. Be sure to get points in the game!

Manchester United also made appropriate starting adjustments in this game.

Ashley Young was physically exhausted after playing in the last round, so he sat on the bench in this game, and Ferguson also formed a four-three-three formation.

On the forward line, Rooney, Welbeck and Pea Hernandez started together.

In the midfield, Fletcher's injury made Carrick's main position unshakable. He, Scholes and Valencia, who announced their comeback in the winter window of this season, formed today's three midfielders.

The defense line is Evra, Evans, Ferdinand and the teenager Rafael. Jones' injury made Manchester United's already poor defense even worse. Smalling, who is still a young player, is on standby on the bench .

De Gea is the goalkeeper.

This lineup is actually not as balanced as Manchester United's four-five-one or four-four-two at the beginning of the season, especially in the midfield. The Philippine Federation has no advantage at all.

The return of Scholes allowed Manchester United to have a commander again, but this commander is 37 years old. Although he has rich experience in the game, due to physical limitations, Scholes has been unable to provide too much for Manchester United's midfielder. Defensive help.

Valencia is also a strong offensive and defensive player. Carrick is a good player, and he is willing to do dirty work, but he alone cannot support the defensive barrier of Manchester United's midfield.

Coupled with his weakness of slow speed, it is self-evident what kind of tactics Sheffield United will play.

And Manchester United's central defender combination of Evans and Ferdinand is also very difficult in the face of Li Mo, which has been a very prominent problem in the first encounter between the two teams this season.

At that time, Manchester United relied on the double midfielders of Carrick and Fletcher to pinch Li Mo back and forth, and then used Park Ji-sung to freeze Drinkwater, which suppressed Sheffield United's counterattack.

But look at Sheffield United now. Matic has been able to help Drinkwater share some organizational tasks. Sheffield United's two wing attacks are becoming more and more proficient, and Vardy is also Rapid growth has become an existence that Manchester United has to pay attention to.

The growth and progress of Sheffield United are visible to the naked eye, while Manchester United is weaker than at the beginning of the season. The defense and control of the midfield and backcourt are weaker, that is to say, they still maintain a super high level of attack in the frontcourt.

This means that Ferguson's training ability is strong enough. With such a midfielder, he can suppress Manchester City. If you change to any other coach, there is no way to rely on such a lineup to wrestle with Manchester City.

And the tactics of play are mutually reinforcing, just like Sheffield United's midfield strangling tactics restrain Manchester City, Sheffield United's rapid counter-attack also completely restrains Manchester United's current lineup.

Your midfielder is old and slow, and Valencia, the only one with speed, can't defend well. Against Sheffield United's rapid advancement on the two sides and the center, what do you use to defend?

This is a very simple truth, no matter what experience you have, I run faster than you, have better physical fitness than you, have stronger physical fitness than you, and completely restrain you in terms of technical and tactical play, and I am no worse than you in terms of technology. You fight me with your head!
(You can look at the UEFA Champions League where Juventus played Ajax in the 18-19 season, the scene was horrible)
Manchester United crucified one opponent after another by relying on their offensive ability that was still online, and Sheffield United's most powerful was the strangulation in the midfield, so there was a scene on the scene that made Manchester United fans uncomfortable.

Scholes seemed a little powerless in the face of Medel's rush. Manchester United's three strikers could hardly even touch the ball under the strangulation of Sheffield United's midfield. Rooney had to retreat many times to catch the ball.

Valencia wanted to push forward with the ball, but Matt Ridge's marking did not allow him enough space to start up. In front of the Sheffield United midfielder, which is famous for its fierce defense, Manchester United lost its "magic power" directly. , completely exposed the shortcomings of their current lineup.

Li Mo took the ball three times in the first 10 minutes of the game, and he never advanced with the ball. Basically, he received the ball from his teammate on the side and then directly looked for opportunities to hit the goal.

It has to be said that De Gea is fully qualified to compete for the throne of the number one goalkeeper in football this year. Li Mo's two shots within the goal frame were all saved by De Gea, which made the Sheffield United fans on the scene feel regretful. .

"It turns out that there is a trend of De Gea in the backcourt at this time. Manchester United's defense is really lucky to have De Gea standing in front of their goal."

Li Mo shook his hand, feeling sorry for his shot just now being saved by De Gea, but he was more confident to win the game in his heart.

Manchester United just want to score a goal before Sheffield United knocks on their door, and then take the initiative on the field, but relying on De Gea's personal performance, how many minutes can it last?

Without a strong defensive midfielder, without a young and excellent central defender, the goalkeeper alone cannot support the defensive system.

In the frontcourt, under the instruction of Ferguson, Valencia finally completely suppressed Sheffield United's half. Manchester United's frontcourt formation has almost become a four-forward formation, leaving Scholes and Cary in the midfield. gram.

Welbeck tried to disrupt Sheffield United's formation at the top, Hernandez looked for opportunities to run and pull Sheffield United's defense, Valencia pushed the ball steadily to the frontcourt, and then it was up to Rooney to play .

With three players around to help, Rooney has a lot of room to play, and Valencia is also pressing forward and backward, and Rooney is gradually able to attack with the ball.

After all, the four forwards are pressing in Sheffield United's half. No matter how strong Sheffield United's defense is, they must shrink the defense line to make room for some space. The main defensive force must be concentrated near the penalty area.

However, the risks that Manchester United have to bear have gradually increased. Your offense has improved, but there are only two left in the midfield. Come out, it is almost a gallop on the two sides of Manchester United. De Gea can save Li Mo's first few shots, but can he guarantee that he will play like this throughout the game?

The Sheffield United players didn't believe it, and Li Mo didn't believe it even more. He and Vardy were patiently waiting for the next opportunity.

In the No.207 minute of the first half, Valencia finally got rid of Matt Ridge's entanglement and sent a high-quality cross from the right.

Maguire pushed the ball out ahead of Hernandez. After Rooney on the outside controlled the ball, he got rid of Drinkwater who was robbing him, and then hoisted the ball into Sheffield United's penalty area again. Welbeck went forward The ball was saved by Shay. Hernandez wanted to grab the ball again, but Matthew Lorton didn't give him this chance. He took the ball out of the penalty area first, and then passed the ball directly to the right. Medel who met on the road.

The moment Matthew Lorton led the ball out, the defenders on the left and right of Sheffield United and Matt Ridge near the center circle went forward instantly!
Manchester United was afraid of Sheffield United's quick counterattack, so they kept the two central defenders in front of the big penalty area in their own half. Carrick and Scholes would never easily pass the half-court to hold the ball. They directly gave up making offside .

After all, Vardy is now a well-known small expert in anti-offside. Once the counterattack is not offside, none of Manchester United's four defenders and two midfielders can keep up with Vardy's speed, let alone another one with the same speed. Li Mo.

So when almost four Sheffield United players advanced from the backcourt and the two forwards began to sprint, they were all onside, and Medel was also relieved to directly transfer the ball to the left with a big foot.

Manchester United's teenager Rafael was disturbed by Bertrand in the process of chasing back. He couldn't keep up with Matt Ridge's sprint speed at all. He could only watch Matt Ridge steadily on the wing of Manchester United. Stop the ball, then continue galloping.

Scholes rushed to the wing to try to defend at the first time, but Sheffield United played an old counterattack. They have rehearsed various situations for countless times. Matt Ridge deliberately slowed down and waited until Rafael When Paul and Scholes almost pinched him back and forth, they continued to plug the ball to the side.

"Bertrand! Sheffield United's counterattack is still going on. Matt Ridge opened up the defense of Manchester United. Bertrand is about to enter Manchester United's penalty area!"

The passionate voice of the Sky Sports commentator made all Manchester United fans feel anxious. Sheffield United's counterattack was too successful this time. Can Manchester United defend it like the previous few times?
Evans had to pull sideways to interfere and intercept, Vardy suddenly moved forward, Li Mo ran backward, and Bertrand almost completed the cross at the instant the two moved!
Ferdinand made a calm decision. He chose to go with Li Mo, because Sheffield United often used Vardy to cover Li Mo to grab points when they counterattacked. Ferguson also emphasized this point before the game, but Ferdinand Wan Unexpectedly, this time Sheffield United's cross was looking for Vardy from the previous point!

"Cross! Vardy! Vardy is almost unguarded!!!"

Zhan Jun almost roared, who would have thought that Vardy could shoot without any interference at the critical moment!

Faced with such a situation, Vardy also resolutely shook his head and attacked the goal. The football flew straight to the top of the near corner of Manchester United's goal, but with one hand, he threw the ball out again under Vardy's incredible gaze!

"Oops! De Gea!!! Eh, there is more!"

Zhang Luzheng held his head and cried out in regret, only to see that the ball saved by De Gea landed at the feet of Medel who moved outside the Manchester United penalty area.

Medel looked at the football flying towards him, and immediately saw Li Mo standing behind Manchester United's goal. He didn't even think about it, he didn't stop the ball, and directly kicked the ball towards the back of the Manchester United penalty area. past.

Ferdinand had subconsciously rushed towards Vardy before, so when Medel passed the ball again, he hurried towards Li Mo's direction again. At this time, Evra also entered the penalty area and jumped behind Li Mo. , It seems that the two are going to pinch Li Mo.

But such defense is too late for Li Mo!

Facing the incoming ball, Li Mo took off with all his strength, Ferdinand gritted his teeth and jumped up while running, but Li Mo surpassed him by half a head!

Evra was even more embarrassing. He found that he was only on the back of Li Mo's shoulder after jumping up, and he could only watch Li Mo's head-shaking attack.

De Gea made his own choice again. He stretched his body and rushed towards the near corner, but Li Mo chose the top far corner for this attack. The football almost flew into half of the empty goal without any hindrance. !
De Gea is not a god. He can block the first few attacks of Sheffield United, but he can't stop Sheffield United's continuous and rapid counterattack. The Red Devils, who are already at the end of the dynasty, have not chosen to change their blood. They are already doomed. When facing the newborn young strong team, they cannot withstand the continuous impact of the opponent!
"The goal is scored! Li Mo!!! Manchester United's offensive tactics did not knock on the door of Sheffield United, but Li Mo once again helped Sheffield United break the deadlock on the field! The current Manchester United cannot withstand the impact of a young team what!"

After scoring the goal, Li Mo stood in the penalty area of ​​Manchester United with his head held high, and he opened his arms to welcome the cheers from all the fans. He pursed his mouth and shook his head slightly, with an arrogant expression on his face, as if scoring this goal was very easy for him generally!
This kind of celebration directly detonated the audience!
Sheffield United fans began to cheer wildly and shouted Li Mo's name, while a small number of Manchester United fans kept cursing and booing.

They have never seen such a crazy player after scoring Manchester United's goal!
However, their boos were soon overshadowed by cheers, and the reporters on the sidelines also excitedly pointed at Li Mo and kept pressing the shutter of the camera. Once this photo was released, it was full of topics!
"Lee fulfilled half of his pre-match promise! He said that he will try his best to score goals in this game and lead the team to beat Manchester United! Now that the goal has been scored, it depends on whether Sheffield United can really beat Manchester United at home. !I think for the Manchester City fans at this moment, this is a goal that they should also cheer for!"

The narrator joked a little, the players of Sheffield United have surrounded Li Mo at the moment, and they are celebrating in the penalty area and the bottom line of Manchester United to their heart's content!

And this is just the beginning. If we don't completely beat Manchester United to the ground today, these young lads will not stop!
