Chapter 199 No. 30 league goals, exclusive top scorer list!

It was close to three o'clock in the afternoon on April 4, and more than two hours after the end of the Arsenal game, the players of Sheffield United cheered for the last time in their own half. After standing in their positions, they waited for the players of Blackburn to kick off .

Ewood Park Stadium is not full today, since Blackburn fell into the relegation zone and continued to lose, their home attendance has been declining day by day.

In Ewood Park, which is about the same size as Bramall Lane Stadium, there are now only more than 2 spectators sitting.

Even the cheers from the Sheffield United fans in the away game were only slightly smaller than that of the home audience, which surprised the commentators from all over the world.

The Blackburn players seem to be used to the spectacle, but can their own fans be blamed?
No wonder, the fans of the Premier League teams are very fanatical in their support for the home team. It can only be said that Blackburn's players on the field really disappointed the fans.

Blackburn fans would rather watch the game at home and in the pub than support this group of players in the field.

Or I can't bear to see my beloved team being trampled and humiliated by other teams time and time again.

In particular, Blackburn's opponent today is Sheffield United.

The scene of being bloodbathed by Sheffield United is still engraved in the minds of Blackburn fans, and they can't forget it even if they want to!
So the opening scene appeared. Even the Blackburn fans who arrived at the scene cheered the team up without confidence.

So much so that the thousands of away fans of Sheffield United almost didn't want to compete with the fans of the home team.

The Sheffield United players were fully prepared. With the referee's whistle, Drinkwater and his midfield teammates began to press forward.

Blackburn can no longer dare to use lethal foul tactics against Sheffield United. Their previous coach Steve Keane was forced to resign because of this incident.

The new head coach is naturally aware of this. With the lessons learned from the past, he only dared to fight against Sheffield United honestly, and dared not even think about any lethal tactics.

Four four two, exactly the same formation as Sheffield United, daring to send out two forwards, shows that Blackburn's new coach still has the pursuit of victory in the game.

After all, their current main forward Yakubu ranks sixth in the Premier League scorer list with [-] goals, and still has a good scoring ability.

However, the overall strength gap between the two teams is too great, and the Sheffield United players are not careless in the slightest. They just want to firmly push back Blackburn's midfield first, and are not in a hurry to attack.

This made Blackburn's chicken stealing plan almost aborted in half.

When a weak team fights a strong team, it often takes advantage of the strong team's aggressive pressure and the empty backcourt to fight back.

Seriously set up a formation to grab control of the midfield, and the chances of the weak team are too small. Sheffield United will not be fooled, don't worry, and let Blackburn's players play very passively.

If Blackburn played five midfielders in this game and relied on the advantage of one more player to strengthen their running, they might be able to beat for a while.

But now there are four midfielders with Sheffield United. Sheffield United is notorious for pressing and controlling the field. Blackburn's midfielder takes the lead.

So just about 10 minutes into the game, Blackburn could only give up control of the midfield and had to enter the rhythm of defense ahead of schedule.

Li Mo stood between Blackburn's midfielder and the center back line, and had a clear view of the situation on the field.

In his opinion, Blackburn's tactic has too many problems.

If you really want to play counter-defense, then you can't retreat so deadly, at least there must be someone standing near the center circle on the side, ready to catch the ball and advance at any time.

If you really want to stick to it, wouldn't it be better to just put up a five-four-one or four-five-one formation?

The four-four-two defense is not in place, and the two forwards are purely redundant. One forward can be used as a counter-attack fulcrum in front of it.

This formation and style of play highlights a four different.

Of course, this is definitely good news for Sheffield United.

Brother Drinking Water will never let go of such an opportunity. After controlling the initiative in the midfield, Sheffield United will definitely use Blackburn's left and right ribs to make a fuss.

This is also the reason why Li Mo pulled out of the penalty area. He may receive the ball from his teammates in the rib area at any time. It depends on his personal choice whether to hit the goal directly or break into the penalty area.

Vardy didn't play in this game, and Berbatov was his starting partner, so he didn't have to do much work in the penalty area, and he could flexibly choose the offensive position.

And brother Xiaosa's ability to play the ball in the penalty area is also excellent. Li Mo will only have to take charge of the last kick at that time, and he can concentrate on scoring goals.

Blackburn's players and coaches apparently did not realize the seriousness of the problem at this time.

For them, it may be all right to guard the 30-meter area in the middle and the space on the side. After all, Sheffield United’s offense mainly relied on the advancement of the side. In the end, it was up to Li Mo to choose whether to grab points or split the ball. .

For the gaps in the rib area, it is also very common to rely on wide players or midfielders to complete the defense.

But Speed ​​and the coaching staff have long been studying how to use the rib area for tactical articles, so although Sheffield United rarely uses the rib space to attack, the players are not incapable.

Matt Ridge and Medel are not top passers, but they have practiced enough to dribble the ball straight into the rib area or pass the ball straight to the opponent's penalty area through the rib area.

Generally speaking, players who complete threatening offenses through rib space are mostly wingers who like to cut inside, or more flexible "side midfielders".

One of the best is undoubtedly the current Robben and Messi.

Because they are skilled enough and fast enough, they can quickly insert in the small space in the rib area and get rid of the opponent to complete the goal.

Furthermore, the quality of their curveball shots is high enough, even if the goalkeeper knows that they are going to rub the shot to the far corner, they just can't prevent it.

Li Mo is now taking on such a role. Although his speed and technique are not as good as Robben and Messi, the effect he plays is similar.

Because his confrontation ability is strong enough, he doesn't need to use speed and technique to get rid of the opponent's defense, he just needs to hold the opponent's defensive midfielder or the interference of the full-back before shooting.

His shooting skills are also superb enough, and it is not a problem for him to rub a high-quality curve ball in the rib area.

Blackburn's goalkeeper Robinson is notoriously a buttery player. He has inherited the glorious tradition of leading the British goal over the years. Facing such a long shot, it is easy to make mistakes.

So Sheffield United's offensive tactics theoretically completely restrain Blackburn's defensive tactics.

The reality is indeed the case.

When Mattridge and Medel began to try to hold the ball straight into Blackburn's rib defense, Blackburn's seemingly solid defense suddenly became a mess.

They defended the sideways and the center, but they never expected that Sheffield United would not play the sideways in this game, and played the fine work of attacking the ribs!
This completely touched the defensive blind spots of the Blackburn players.

After all, the coach Yemei teaches how to deal with this situation?
In desperation, Blackburn's two full-backs had no choice but to retract, yes, the space on the wing was released again, and it was a joy to see Bertrand and Trippier plug in.

Especially Bertrand, his feet are already delicate, playing one-on-one against Blackburn's full-backs is simply like a father beating a son, and soon he played a huge advantage with Matt Ridge on the left.

Blackburn's players were caught in a dilemma.

Keep the wing, Sheffield United will face the back line soon after walking the ribs, which is too dangerous.

But let's defend the ribs. Sheffield United's best wing attack has been brought out again. Bertrand, with the cooperation of Matt Ridge, almost smashed Blackburn's right back. How to solve it?
But at this time, the game had only lasted about ten minutes, less than 10 minutes, and the head coach of Blackburn was also hesitating whether to change a striker and play [-] instead.

Maybe he was not willing to give up the possibility of scoring counterattacks like this. After thinking for a while on the sidelines, Blackburn's head coach just shouted to the Blackburn players on the field to pay more attention to defense and supplementary defense.

And then, gone!

Blackburn's right-back almost fainted, the head coach hesitated for a long time?
Is this going to watch him being bullied by Bertrand for a whole game?
In the end, it was Blackburn's players who made their own decisions, and it was better to stick to the wing.

After all, Bertrand almost entered Blackburn's penalty area several times. In addition to threatening to pass the ball, Bertrand himself also had a shot.

Although Sheffield United's rib attack is dangerous, the ball holders have to face the back line anyway, but if Bertrand is tossed in Blackburn's penalty area, it will be more than just dangerous.

The defensive decision made by Blackburn made Li Mo start to frequently move in the rib space on both sides of the penalty area.

Because there is Berbatov in the penalty area, Blackburn's central defender can't move freely with Li Mo. They can only ask the midfielder and the two full backs to pay more attention to Li Mo's running position.

In the 206th minute of the first half, Li Mo finally got his first good chance of the game under the relentless transposition running.

In the process of moving the ball from the side to the inside, Medel suddenly knocked the ball across. Matridge, who was in the middle, attracted the defense of the two Blackburn midfielders, and then pretended to pass the ball back. Berbatov.

At this time, Berbatov's retreat directly took away one of Blackburn's midfielders and a central defender.

So when Matt Ridge flicked his ankle and passed the ball to the left rib space outside Blackburn's penalty area, Blackburn had only one right back to defend!

Li Mo easily took the ball out of space, but under the interference of Blackburn's right back, he decisively kicked and shot, and shot a very fast arc shot!
The interference of a full-back has almost no effect on Li Mo. He has fought against the main central defenders of various Premier League teams before. The confrontation ability of full-backs and central defenders is far worse.

After all, there are only a few full-backs who are as defensive as Ashley Cole, and the right-back of Blackburn is completely incomparable with Ashley Cole.

Therefore, Li Mo's shot was also of high quality.

The ball was fast, and the football drew a beautiful arc in the air and went straight to the upper right corner of Blackburn's goal!

What Robinson is most afraid of is this kind of high-quality shot from outside the penalty area. He kicks the ground hard, stretches his body, and stretches his left hand desperately, trying to interfere with the football's path.

But this curve ball completely bypassed his finger, making him unable to touch it even if he wanted to. In the end, the football got into the upper right corner of the goal, creating a white ripple in the net!

A crisp shot, a crisp goal, a beautiful arc!
Li Mo completely shattered Black's fantasy in the No.206 minute of the first half, opening the record for Sheffield United with a beautiful shot from outside the restricted area!

And this is also his personal No.20 nine goals in the league. His current number of goals is tied with Van Persie, and he once again topped the Premier League scorer list!

"Oh! Matt Ridge's pass, only one defender by Lee's side! Absolutely good chance! Lee's shot! Oh my god! Goal in!!! Lee's personal No.20 nine league goals! What kind of shooting is this? Lee hit a wonderful curve ball! God, isn't the person standing outside the Blackburn penalty area at this moment Arjen Robben?!"

"Berbatov's retreat. Hey, the pass is for Li Mo! Beautiful movement! Li Mo is going to shoot! Curve ball! Oh oh oh oh oh!!! The ball is in! The ball is in !!!Robinson has no chance to take such a shot! Beautiful!!! Li Mo showed his superb shooting skills with a wonderful shot from outside the penalty area! No.20 nine goals! Li Mo and Van Persie are tied for the top scorer in the Premier League No. [-] on the list!!!”

"Great chance for Li Sang! How would he choose to shoot! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Time!"

After Li Mo scored this goal, the commentator from Huaguo was obviously the most excited, followed by the commentators from East Asian countries.

Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were already blushing, applauding Li Mo's shot in the studio.

Neon and South Korea's commentary directly praised Li Mo as an Asian miracle.

After all, an East Asian player has scored almost [-] goals in such a fierce stage of the Premier League, and he still has a great chance to win the Premier League Golden Boot this season. It is something that the commentators of the two countries could not imagine before.

South Korea's commentary is still a little more restrained, talking about the light of Asia, the glory of Asia and other words, the commentator of Neon directly puts on the second-level words such as "Hua Guoの Great Demon King" and "Empire's Almighty Goal Machine". word.

Moreover, in the fan circles of the two countries, there are more and more fans supporting Li Mo, which has formed a rather large scale. Various Li Mo fan groups emerge in endlessly, and women still occupy a large part.

Compared with the young idols in the two countries, Li Mo's hormonal athletic man made many women in their early twenties even more unable to control themselves.

After all, there are many good-looking faces, but there is only one Asian player who is good-looking but tall, and can conquer picky English fans in the football world.

Strong strength coupled with outstanding appearance and figure, Li Mo has become the hottest public figure in the East Asian cultural and sports circle this summer.

Mu Qiang's neon and South Korean fans were also quickly harvested by Li Mo.

If Li Mo can really win the Premier League Golden Boot at the end of the season, then his fans may have an explosive growth.

In the starry eyes of countless Asian female fans, Li Mo clenched his fist and gave a low drink, then ran to the bottom line with a smile, waiting for his teammates to come to celebrate.

When Berbatov rubbed Li Mo's head affectionately and the two stood shoulder to shoulder, it made countless female fans scream.

This is the advantage of being handsome. When two coaches with a height of nearly 1.9 meters stand together, they immediately become the most dazzling existence on the entire court.

Of course, this style of painting could not last long. When Medel broke into the middle of the two, the atmosphere suddenly turned back to blood and passion.

The chances created by his teammates helped Li Mo reach the top of the scorer list, but Li Mo's goal also helped the Sheffield United players feel more at ease.

After taking the lead, this game is very easy to play. No matter how Blackburn adjusts, they have to attack, right?
As long as the attack is made, Sheffield United's chances will be greatly increased.

How to concoct Blackburn at that time depends on their mood?

Even if you only play counterattacks, you will be very comfortable. This is the unique skill of Sheffield United~
This conceded goal made Blackburn's head coach very anxious, but looking at the frustrated Blackburn players on the field, he just shook his hand helplessly.

Perhaps, as the media predicted before the game, facing Sheffield United, he shouldn't report some unrealistic ideas, and just stick to it honestly and try to get a point.

But now that they are already behind, it is useless to regret it any more. If they want to keep the tie, they must at least get one goal back.

There is no way, the two strikers will have to play for a while longer, and at this time, if the striker is replaced, the probability of scoring will only be greatly reduced.

The head coach of Blackburn still thinks well, but the mentality of the players on the field has changed at this time.

The players are not machines, and the coach does not adjust after falling behind, which makes the Blackburn players feel very frustrated.

So after kick-off again, Blackburn's tactical thinking quickly became inconsistent.

Forward Yakubu naturally wanted to counterattack as soon as possible to see if he could score an equalizer in the first half. After all, he couldn't defend, so he might as well focus on offense.

But Blackburn's midfielders feel that they don't invest enough in defense. If they really want to defend, they actually have a chance.

After all, in addition to Yakubu, there is another striker in front, and the offense can't be played, so what's the point of having an extra striker?

If the striker is replaced by a midfielder or defender, will their defense not have to be so careless?
At this time, it is actually necessary for the head coach to stand up, unify the team's tactical thinking, and make the whole team unite and continue to fight against the opponent.

In other words, the captain on the field suppressed different voices, attacked with all his strength if he should attack, and defended with all his strength if he wanted to defend.

But it is a pity that the Blackburn team does not have such a decisive head coach and authoritative captain.

Their head coach even thought about relying on the existing players on the field to defend the next wave of Sheffield United's offensive, while also playing a threatening counterattack.

Fortunately, Blackburn's players didn't know about such an unrealistic idea, otherwise it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among many players.

The divergence of ideas between Blackburn's front and rear players quickly affected their performance. To put it simply, it was a disconnect between the front and the back.

The striker wants to attack and counterattack, but the midfielder is hesitant when he presses up. The ball has been transmitted in the midfield and cannot reach the front. The people behind want to hold the score until the end of the midfield. And the back line faced the impact of Sheffield United directly, and it was very difficult to defend.

Speed ​​didn't know why the head coach of Blackburn made such a big mistake, but he would not miss such an opportunity, made a decisive decision, and gestured to the players on the field to continue the attack.

After all, taking advantage of his illness to kill him, Blackburn's defensive strength has dropped compared to the previous [-] minutes, but Sheffield United has played an offensive feeling and must continue to attack.

Drinkwater is also constantly distributing the ball to several offensive players. Now it is not only a strong attack on the opponent's rib space, but a combination of side and center.

The activeness of Bertrand and Trippier gave Drinkwater more passing options.

Li Mo is still working with Berbatov, Brother Xiaosha continues to stay in Blackburn's restricted area to help Li Mo attract defensive forces, and Li Mo is running to find the next scoring opportunity.

Of course, if Berbatov has a better chance, he will also pass the ball as soon as possible. At this time, the team still has to be the first.

In the 304th minute of the first half, Bertrand, who was in excellent form, made another successful bottom pass. Unfortunately, the cross he sent was a little behind. Li Mo failed to hit the center and missed a goal in the penalty area. Scoring chance.

Three minutes later, Drinkwater shot a cold arrow from outside the penalty area, and Robinson made a save with a long shot. Berbatov returned the ball again under the interference of the Blackburn central defender. Medel followed up A strong shot, but the power was not suppressed, and the football flew over the crossbar.

No.401 minutes, Li Mo retreated to get the ball and dribbled past Blackburn's midfielder, and then tried to hit the goal with a long shot again!
But this long-range shot, which was about 26 meters away from the goal, just missed the goal post. The Blackburn fans at home were all clutching their hearts and were taken aback.

If you concede another goal at this time, the game will basically be like this. There is always hope if you are behind 0-1. If you are behind 0-2 and the opponent has an absolute advantage, then there is really no chance.

Li Mo also patted his palm in annoyance.

He played the ball very well, but Robinson didn't react, it was just a little bit!
There were only a few minutes left in the first half of the game. It seemed that although Blackburn's players were in a panic, they almost withstood it and did not allow Sheffield United to continue to expand the score.

While breathing a sigh of relief, Blackburn's backcourt players also boosted their morale, and they all encouraged each other, vowing to drag the 0-1 score to the end of the midfield.

Sheffield United's players slowed down for a while and quickly regained the ball, but they still patiently passed the football in the center and sideways, trying to tear apart Blackburn's defense.

Bertrand is in good form today, and Drinkwater also continued to distribute the ball to the left, intending to let Bertrand try again.

Matt Ridge set a screen for Bertrand, who managed to get the ball wide and once again faced Blackburn's right-back on his own.

Bertrand started waving the ball confidently, apparently wanting to rely on his speed to catch him raw, but after Blackburn's right back started to speed up, Bertrand used an emergency stop to smash the ball and passed his opponent cleanly. !

Cut inside again into Blackburn's penalty area, but Bertrand did not pass the ball in a hurry.

After Berbatov moved closer, Bertrand took advantage of Berbatov to disrupt the opening of Blackburn's defense, and then swept the ball to the back of Blackburn's penalty area!

Li Mo has been observing Bertrand's movements. He has always hidden himself behind another central defender of the opponent. When Berbatov was running, he started to run sideways, and suddenly turned towards Blackburn's Click start after the restricted area.

So when Bertrand passed the ball, Li Mo happened to be half a body behind the Blackburn central defender, not offside at all!

Almost in an instant, when Bertrand passed the ball in front of him, Li Mo also overtook Blackburn's rear, stretched out his right foot and touched it lightly.

A very standard shot in the penalty area is very common and common, but it is also very deadly!
At this moment, Li Mo is like Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the small penalty area. When he appears in the small penalty area, the football is destined to roll into the opponent's goal!
Robinson didn't react at all, he only saw Li Mo suddenly appeared in his field of vision, as if by magic, he stretched out his foot to block it, and the football obediently rolled from his feet into the net!
Ewood Park Stadium seemed to be captured by Sheffield United fans. At this moment, only their excited cheers were left, celebrating their king's exclusive top scorer list.

The Blackburn fans seemed to be stuck in their throats and could not make any sound. They just watched the Sheffield United players in the field rushing towards Li Mo in a daze.

At this moment, Li Mo couldn't control himself, he tore off his jersey after a long time, ran naked on the bottom line with his upper body roaring, and then had a passionate kneeling celebration!

No.30 league goals!

He already has the top scorer list alone!
　Today, I was doing business in my hometown with my father, so I missed the update time, I am really sorry, brothers
