Chapter 223 The Premier League's Strongest Offensive Line
"I will always miss my time at Anfield, Liverpool will always be in my heart, it was a difficult decision but I knew it was time."

In the face of Sky Sports reporter's interview, Dirk Dirk seemed very calm.

After saying goodbye to his old teammates, the sadness in his heart has dissipated.

Now what Liverpool needs is reconstruction, and Dirk Dirk also knows that there is no place for him in the team. Maybe leaving is his last contribution to Liverpool.

Now, he is going to fight for the last important honor of his career.

On August 8, an important day for the start of the Premier League, Sheffield United once again attracted the attention of fans all over the UK in the morning.

For 200 million euros, Sheffield United and Liverpool have reached an agreement to introduce Liverpool's striker Didier Dirk!
After the completion of this transaction, Sheffield United also directly announced that it had ended all the transfer work of this summer window.

In other words, Dirk is the last piece of the puzzle for Sheffield United, and Speed ​​is already very satisfied with the current lineup.

As the team's number one star, Li Mo also directly expressed his welcome to Dirk in an interview before the game.

"Dirk is a very good striker, we all know that he can play multiple positions, and he has a very rich experience in major competitions, World Cup, European Cup, Champions League, his performance in the Champions League is really incredible! He absolutely He's a player with a big heart, I can't wait to work with him, I can learn a lot from him."

Although Li Mo's words were a bit exaggerated, there was one thing he said was right, that is, Dirk is definitely a player with a big heart.

Li Mo also really thinks that he can learn a lot of good things from Dirk. After all, the Dutch striker has performed brilliantly in the European Cup and the World Cup, and he has extremely rich experience in competitions.

But today, Dirk Kuit needs to go to Sheffield for a medical examination first, so naturally he missed the first league game.

After observing several friendly matches, Speed ​​also plans to try the new formation today.

The main reason is that the opponents Stoke City encountered in the first round are relatively average in strength, as long as you pay more attention not to be succeeded by their set-pieces, it is suitable to try the effect of the new formation.

The expansion and maintenance work of the Bramall Lane Stadium has also come to an end temporarily, and it can be put into normal use today.

After three months of expansion and maintenance, Bramall Lane Stadium has been "renewed" from the outside, but inside, apart from the many new fan shops, the most significant changes are naturally the latest equipment and After the expansion, the number of seats is [-].

Brand new display screens, searchlights, new seats with red and white stripes, and the highest quality turf.

The photos were circulated on the Internet along with the staff of the Sheffield United club, attracting many Premier League fans to watch.

A stadium that can accommodate 4 people!

Even if it is just an expanded stadium and not a new one, but in any case, this capacity has allowed Sheffield United's home stadium to squeeze into the upper circle of the Premier League's home stadium.

The fans of Sheffield United are naturally the happiest. After three months away, they can't wait to go to the home court to cheer for their beloved team.

Of course, everyone is curious and wants to see for themselves what the inside of the familiar Bramall Lane Stadium has become.

Therefore, it is really hard to get a ticket for this game, and many fans who did not get tickets are even willing to pay high prices to buy them from other fans.

The fans of Stoke City also came to Sheffield United's home court with optimism.

After all, the current Sheffield United is quite different from before. In addition to new stars, there are many stars in the team, which is quite attractive to fans of the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.

After Sheffield United announced the end of the signing work, various media also quickly released the current Sheffield United first team player list on the Internet:
Goalkeepers: Given, Sommer, Simonsen
Defenders: Trippier, Matthew Lorton, Vertonghen, Maguire, Stones, Chris Morgan, Matridge, Cresswell
Midfielders: Medel, Matic, Drinkwater, Moussa Dembele, De Bruyne, Stephen Quinn, Montgomery

Forwards: Li Mo, Berbatov, Vardy, Bale, Joaquin, Kurit
With 24 players, such a first-team team is not huge, but Sheffield United's player structure is very healthy, and a reliable substitute is almost guaranteed for every position.

Compared with last season, although Sheffield United may have to fight on the third line this season, at least there will be no situation where they have to give up a few league games.

However, after there were more excellent players, Speed ​​also fell into the troubles of happiness.

Picking an 24-man roster out of these 18 players will undoubtedly be difficult.

However, in the first game, the main game was four-three-three, and it was against Stoke City again. The starting player was easily determined.

Speed ​​didn't hide it either, and he generously released the list of starting players before the start of the game.

Bell, Li Mo and Joaquin served as the three forwards.

The three midfielders are Drinkwater, Matic and Moussa Dembele.

From left to right in the defense: Matt Ridge, Vertonghen, Maguire and Trippier.

In the goalkeeper position, Shay is still the starter, and Sommer still needs to be on standby for a while.

Such a starting lineup did not deviate much from the pre-match guesses of the media. After all, Speed ​​had tried the four-three-three formation many times during the friendly matches.

After Bell and Joaquin have gradually integrated into the team, it is a certainty that they will occupy the main positions on the left and right sides.

The variable mainly lies in the midfield.

Perhaps because it was playing Stoke City, Speed ​​chose the tall Moussa Dembele to start, and Medel sat on the bench for this game.

As for the left back, Creswell still needs to further improve his strength for the time being, so Matt Ridge is currently the No. 1 choice for the left back.

When Matt Ridge played in the British Championship at Sheffield United, he basically played the position of wing back, and after Speed's training, his defensive ability has also made great progress, so it is no problem to play left back of.

At least in the previous friendly matches, Matt Ridge, who played as a left back, performed very well. He was active in defense and decisive in inserting the edge. The combination of him and Bale on the left was extremely powerful in attacking and suppressing, which is what the media are looking forward to. The wing combination of the new season.

With such a lineup, the control ability of the midfield is relatively strong, and the two wings also have strong advancement and breakthrough capabilities. It depends on the actual combat effect at the time.

No matter how well you played in friendly matches, you still have to see the effect in actual combat.

However, Li Mo has the bottom line, and the outside media agree that it is not a problem for Sheffield United to score goals, and they can only see how many goals they can score.

If you score more, everyone will be happy. Sheffield United will win, and the media will praise it.

But if there is less entry, then doubts will come.

Bell, Li Mo and Joaquin's attack line, this paper strength is definitely the first in the Premier League!
If you can't score goals or play well by then, the media won't be polite.

The time gradually came to the afternoon of England's local time. From south to north in England, the atmosphere seemed to be becoming restless.

Sitting in the locker room, Li Mo also habitually called up his attribute panel before the first game of the season.

Comprehensive ability (center forward): 91 (99); hidden ability (central defender): 83 (90)

Strong: 93(99)
Physical fitness: 89 (93)
Speed: 89(96)
Acceleration: 89(96)
Dribbles: 89 (96)
Possession: 90 (95)
Short passes: 88 (95)
Long passes: 84 (90)
Crosses: 86 (88)
Archery: 93(99)
Shot Power: 92 (99)
Long shot: 90 (99)

Flexible: 88(95)
Balance: 90(97)
Headers: 90 (96)
Bounce: 93(98)
Field of View: 88(94)
Free kicks: 80 (94)

Penalties: 92 (99)

Injury Resistance: 95
Features: Iron Man Halo (Greatly enhances the ability to resist injuries, enhances the speed of physical recovery)

After a season of training in the Premier League, plus the usual extra training and special training this summer, he also has 10 abilities that have exceeded 90.

Strength and shooting skills are still the two basic abilities he has practiced hard. In terms of technology, he has already broken through the 90 mark in ball control, and his dribbling has been stuck at 89 for a while. Breaking 90.

Compared with last year, the ability of long and short passes and crosses has also been greatly improved, but after practicing to the current level, Li Mo thinks it is enough, and he wants to concentrate more time on free kicks in the future.

Bashen's free kick talent is undoubtedly very high, but Li Mo spent very little time on this piece, so he hasn't made much progress.

But Sheffield United is getting stronger and stronger now, and there will definitely be many cases where opponents set up buses in the future. Li Mo also feels that it is necessary for him to improve his free kick ability as soon as possible, as a stunt to break the bus. Free kick ability, maybe it can be used at critical moments.

However, in terms of central defender attributes, Li Mo did not expect that he could rise to an ability value of 83.

Maybe as he plays more games, his physical fitness is also increasing, so under the calculation of the dream machine, his ability to play central defenders has also been slowly improving.

This is a very interesting point. If Sheffield United's central defenders face a large number of injuries in the future, Li Mo may temporarily replace him for a game or two. If his central defender's ability value rises to a level of 87 or 88 , the fun will be great.

Playing as a center forward is world-class, and playing as a central defender can reach the middle and upper reaches of the Premier League, or even the first-class level, just ask if you are afraid!
After going through his own attribute values, Li Mo also retreated from the panel of the dream machine.

As the game time approached, the Sheffield United players in the dressing room also became more energetic.

The training camp this summer was very hard, but everyone's physical fitness has also improved tremendously. Now the team's run-in is very smooth, and everyone wants to show their strength to the outside world.

Today, they are no longer newcomers and dark horses, but powerful newcomers in the Premier League. A lot of attention and reports from the outside world have made everyone more confident.

But Speed ​​made a beating at this time.

"Don't forget the lesson West Bromwich Albion taught us last year. No matter how much our overall strength is higher than our opponents, don't underestimate the enemy. We must win this game steadily, so you must pay attention to your opponents. Only if you pay enough attention, you Only then can we bring out our full strength.”

Hearing this, Li Mo also echoed.

"Boss is right, don't forget our goals for this season, brothers, we won the League Cup last year very well, but this season there are more championships waiting for us to fight for, the team that is too proud is to go It’s not the last, think about Manchester City last season, do you want to fall in the last round?”

The words of Speed ​​and Li Mo gradually calmed down the restless hearts of other players.

Bell came to Sheffield United for the championship. He was naturally the first to respond to Li Mo. Immediately afterwards, other Sheffield United players also expressed that they did not want to become Manchester City last season.

"Win the game we have to win, on this basis, go all out to fight every strong enemy we encounter, unite, sacrifice for teammates, dedicate to the team, plus a little bit of luck, we will Qualified to touch the final championship trophy."

Li Mo started his speech. Whether it was an old player or a new player who joined the team in the summer, he couldn't help but look at Li Mo at this moment. His body seemed to be emitting light, attracting the attention of all players.

"Although I have mentioned it many times, today I still want to say that the realization of great dreams depends on the hard work step by step. Before each game, we have to prepare for the worst. As a team, If we win, it’s a victory for all of us. If we lose, it’s a loss for all of us. So don’t be complacent, don’t lose confidence, let go of the burden, and from today onwards, we’ll fight game by game until the end , we are the champions! We just need to persevere, persevere, and persevere! I believe in myself, and I believe that each of you can do this. Come on, everyone gather around."

Li Mo's words made the old and new players feel a force rising slowly from the bottom of their hearts, and when they formed a circle, Li Mo leaned down and stretched out a finger.

"There is always only one champion. It can be Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, or Liverpool. But from today onwards, we will let the world know that there is only one favorite to win the Premier League this season. It's Sheffield United!

We are already on the way to chasing the championship.

Glory to Sheffield! ! ! "

When Li Mo yelled out the last slogan, the atmosphere in the Sheffield United home team's locker room immediately reached a fiery peak!
"Kudos to Sheffield!!!"

Bale, Joaquin, Vertonghen, Dembele
These players who only came to Sheffield United this summer couldn't restrain the enthusiasm and excitement in their hearts at the moment. They roared passionately with the old Sheffield United players, feeling the surging emotions in their chests.

They know they've come to the right place.

Here, such a team has the strength and the ambition to win the championship.

And today, their legendary journey officially begins!

※※※

In the afternoon, the Bramall Lane Stadium was covered with a fine coat of golden yellow.

Under the sunshine, nearly [-] Sheffield United fans watched Li Mo walking out of the player tunnel, and burst into cheers that shocked even the commentators!

After meeting again after three months, the enthusiasm of the fans seemed to break through the sky, and Li Mo's popularity in this stadium can also be seen.

Wang Mu, McCabe and the owner of Stoke City sat in the private room, watching the huge scene in front of them, Wang Mu couldn't close his mouth with joy.

After getting rid of the heavy financial burden on his shoulders, McCabe also happily watched his beloved team play. As an honorary owner, he was still very satisfied with the treatment he received.

Only the owner of Stoke City smiled reluctantly.

The momentum created by the Sheffield United home fans is too great. In such a home game, he is very worried about the performance of his own players today.

In the introduction of the commentators from all over the world, the players of the two teams also lined up on the field very quickly.

Li Mo and Bell stood together, and the two young people had very confident smiles on their faces. This kind of scene made the Sheffield United fans rejoice again!
This is our player!
Among the most talented young stars in the entire Premier League, the top two are all in Sheffield United!
The director was also very knowledgeable and gave Li Mo and Bell many close-up shots.

And when the simple opening ceremony ended, the Premier League fans who followed the game all over the world also raised their expectations to the highest level.

"The game is about to start! After three months of waiting, facing a striker combination like Li Mo, Bale and Joaquin, how can Premier League fans not look forward to it!"

The old partners Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu are still commenting on Sheffield United's games in the new season, and Zhan Jun is obviously very optimistic about the new attack line formed by Sheffield United.

At exactly three o'clock in the afternoon, the referee, who was pinching his watch, blew the whistle to start the game!

At the same time, on the other nine stadiums, the first round of the new Premier League season has officially started!

Amid the cheers of Sheffield United fans, Li Mo knocked the ball to Bell, and the commentators from various countries also started their passionate introductions.

Stoke City is still playing a four-four-two formation today, but the two forwards are not in parallel positions. Crouch advances forward, Walters hides behind him, playing as a second striker, and the players in the other positions are parallel to each other. It's pretty much the same as last season, nothing much has changed.

On the Sheffield United side, after the opening, Drinkwater still controlled the ball first, and Joaquin's position was slightly inward, closer to his own midfielder, acting as a connection point between the midfielder and the frontcourt.

Therefore, in terms of the number of midfielders, Sheffield United started with almost four people. In terms of field control, they are not afraid of the pressure of Stoke City players.

Compared with last season, Sheffield United seems to be playing more steadily this season, and the conduction has become much more delicate. After all, with the addition of Dembele and Joaquin, the entire midfield of Sheffield United is technically improved. Not a small improvement.

The most intuitive change brought about by the improvement of technology is undoubtedly the improvement of appreciation.

Numerous commentators were amazed by Sheffield United's conduction and cooperation. Drinkwater dominated the distribution of ball rights, while Dembele and Joaquin relied on their technical advantages to continuously throw off the pressure of Stoke City players.

Matic's shots are very decisive and agile, and the passing accuracy is quite good. In the entire midfield combination, no one is a rough guy. The combination is indeed much better than the simple style of last season.

But under the control of this beautiful conduction, there is also a dangerous murderous intent lurking.

Drinkwater constantly uses the pass to mobilize the opponent's running position, and at the same time, he is constantly observing the gaps that appear in the court from time to time.

He seemed very patient, but in the eyes of the audience, Drinkwater was a little "invisible" during the opening period, and it was Joaquin and Moussa Dembele who were even more brilliant.

However, under the observation of industry insiders, Drinkwater's composure seems a bit scary.

As the team's midfield brain, Drinking Water's strength has been greatly improved compared to when he came to Sheffield United, but his enhancement in reading the game is the focus of outside professionals.

A "stealth" playmaker can make the team run extremely smoothly, allowing the two midfielders in the team to play extremely well without losing the ball very much.

This is the scary thing about Drinkwater.

That is the true meaning of organization.

In the 8th minute of the first half, Drinkwater, who had been "quiet" for a long time, showed his fangs.

After mobilizing Stoke City's players to keep moving their defensive forces to their right half, making everyone think that he was going to establish an offensive connection with Bale, Drinkwater used a flat kick. Qi's oblique long pass found Trippier who went straight into the left space of Stoke City, and stabbed Stoke City hard!

"Brother Drinking Water, is this going to be passed? Trippier's plug! Good shot! The vision is too wide, and Stoke City's midfielder has no time to defend!"

Trippier did not pass in a hurry, but cut inside decisively. It seemed that he wanted to pass the ball to Li Mo who retreated, but just after Stoke City's left back Mark Wilson moved with him, But Trippier stuffed the ball to the side!
Joaquin, who was on the edge, easily held the ball and continued to advance without interference.

In a moment of confusion in the Stoke City penalty area, the seasoned Joaquin found an opportunity in an instant and boldly sent a low cross.

The football almost stuck to the turf, drawing a very beautiful arc, bypassing the interceptions of Shawcross and Huth, and at the back of Stoke City's penalty area, there was no one in the empty position just now. Suddenly, a red and white figure rushed out, so fast that many commentators didn't realize it!
Wilkinson was blasted to pieces, even though he was deep enough, he still couldn't keep up with Bell's pace.

It's like a gust of wind!Bell, who exploded with all his strength, completed the overtaking of Wilkinson in an instant!
However, the angle of the place where the ball is received is too small, and it does not seem to be able to kick the goal comfortably.

But Bell didn't have the slightest intention of hitting the goal.

He knows that in the most suitable place, there will definitely be someone who thinks the same as him and will follow him when he starts, so all he has to do now is pass the ball over!

"Bell's overtaking! It's too fast! It's a pass! Inverted triangle, Li Mo!!!"

Amid Zhan Jun's angry voice, Li Mo and Bell had a tacit understanding like old teammates who have cooperated for many years. Bell did not stop the ball and directly passed back in an inverted triangle. Li Mo also stopped the ball in the most suitable position. Then, before Huth rushed over, he volleyed vigorously with his left foot!
The football barely rotated and was blasted towards the far corner of the goal. When Begovic saw Li Mo catching the ball in the penalty area, his heart tightened. After going up, he knew it was over!
This is Li Mo's first touch of the ball in this game, the first shot!
Sheffield United fans jumped out of their seats when they saw the familiar figure shoot the goal.

The football finally hit the crossbar and plunged into the net. At this moment, the Premier League fans and commentators all over the world became crazy!

"The goal has been scored!!! Familiar shot! Familiar way of scoring! Absolutely confident shooting! Li Mo! The first goal of the new season of the Premier League, this is less than 10 minutes into the game! The opportunity Joaquin found, Bell's assist, Li Mo's goal! Sheffield United's new offensive combination has given all fans a big surprise!"

"This is the reason! This is the reason why Sheffield United insisted on bringing Joaquin and spending money to buy Bell! God! 9 minutes, just 9 minutes into the game, Sheffield United took the lead at home! No need for Li Going to keep retreating and making balls for teammates, Speed ​​has found two best helpers for his lover!"

After the goal, Li Mo also greeted Bell and other teammates to follow him to the corner flag area.

Bell laughed, feeling extremely happy in his heart.

He passed many such balls to Adebayor last season, but Adebayor vomited a lot of cakes. The feeling of passing the ball to Li Mo is really great. If there is a chance, how can you play? , he had a hunch that his assist data this season would hit a career high!

Li Mo purposely waited for the other teammates behind him, and when everyone came over, he took the lead and started running, and then yelled and slid and kneeled near the corner flag area to celebrate!
Bell and Joaquin slid and knelt down, but directly threw Li Mo down. The rest of the Sheffield United players also rushed forward, and quickly drowned the three of them.

"We expected that they would have a good chemical reaction, but we really didn't expect that the offense would be so simple and smooth. The three of them are like old friends who have cooperated for many years!"

Zhan Jun looked at the celebration scene of the Sheffield United players, and was surprised as well.

After all, how long have the three of them practiced together? It's really rare to be able to play such a simple and tacit cooperation!
"Some players, they are naturally suitable to play together. Joaquin is looking for opportunities, Bale is responsible for the last pass, and Xiao Li, no matter what ball you pass, as long as you can pass it, there is a chance, hey, he I dare to score this goal for you! Bell's personal ability is really strong, and it is precisely because of Bell that Joaquin dared to pass the ball like this. He knew that Bell could catch it, and Bell also knew that Li Mo could score, so he didn't stop the ball Pass it directly, this is what we often say, the correct three people!"

Zhang Lu cheerfully analyzed that he saw it quite thoroughly, and the characteristics of Sheffield United's new offensive combination are very suitable.

Moreover, Li Mo's biggest threat has not yet come into play. If there is a chance, Joaquin and Li Mo will cooperate. Li Mo attracts defensive players and goes straight to Bell. Only then can Li Mo's core in this offensive combination be revealed. Status comes.

"Today's ball looks good, everyone is blessed, Xiao Li will definitely play better, hehehe~"

Accompanied by Zhang Lu's words, in the stadium, after the celebration, Li Mo hugged and high-fived his teammates with a smile. The Sheffield United fans also cheered and shouted Li Mo's name in the stands.

The players of Stoke City were a little confused. They really didn't make a big mistake with this ball. It really shouldn't have allowed Joaquin to make a comfortable breakthrough, but who would have thought that Joaquin would be so courageous and dare to risk being intercepted directly. A close-to-the-ground cross with a big arc?

Wilkinson was eaten raw by Bell. Is this the speed that normal players can keep up with?

Hut and Shawcross looked at each other, and they both saw deep helplessness in each other's eyes.

And Speed ​​threw his fists passionately off the court to celebrate!

There is nothing wrong with his way of letting Joaquin play in the inward position in the opening stage. While being disturbed by the opponent as little as possible, he also created an excellent opportunity for Trippier's insertion.

Silva's performance at Manchester City last season gave Speed ​​a great inspiration.

You also came to the Premier League from La Liga. You Silva can play as a midfielder, has been famous for many years, and Joaquin, who has the same excellent technical advantages, can't play?
Reduce Joaquin's personal breakthroughs, let Trippier push in, minimize the loss of Joaquin's body, and let him complete threatening passes. This style of play is undoubtedly the most suitable for Joaquin now.

Of course, in a healthy state, Joaquin's breakthrough on the right is still very sharp, and he is trustworthy at critical moments, but in the usual league, try to save as much as possible.

After all, Joaquin has been seriously injured before, and with his age, Speed ​​does not want to use Joaquin again in just one season, and he will have to point to Joaquin to play in the Champions League later.

As for the performance of Bell and Li Mo, it was within Speed's expectation.

It's normal for Bell to eat Wilkinson raw, and it's even more appropriate for Li Mo to score the ball when no one interferes in the penalty area. This is a normal manifestation of their strength.

After taking the lead, Stoke City is very easy to handle, and Speed ​​is also sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

"Let's attack, you all attack, let me see what kind of counterattack effect this striker can play now."

Speed ​​is very greedy. He not only wants to look at the regular cooperation, but also wants to see the current cooperation situation of his own striker combination under the fast counterattack.

As the signature offensive method of last season, the set of quick counterattacks must not be lost, especially now that Bell has joined, Speed ​​is looking forward to it.

If possible, he will play the offensive combination of Bell, Li Mo, and Vardy in the future. When the time comes to counterattack and charge, the scene must be very exciting!

Just as Speed ​​thought, Stoke City, who conceded a goal first, was obviously not reconciled. The game had only started 10 minutes ago, and it was unreasonable to give up now. No matter what, they had to try to equalize in the first half.

After this kick-off, Stoke City's midfielder also stepped up the pressure.

Their offensive method is actually relatively simple. If there is a chance, they will find Crouch with a long pass, and use Crouch's fulcrum to create opportunities for the two wide players and the second forward Walters.

The high-altitude ball is the biggest advantage of Stoke City. Even facing the current Sheffield United, they can't take advantage of the high-altitude ball, but they have no chance to play other routines. Continue to find Crouch this point.

But I have to say that although this style of play is simple, it still has some effects. After all, Crouch's height is here, even if his confrontation ability is not as good as Matic and Dembele, but the header ferry is still let Sheffield United's midfield defense felt the pressure.

The main thing is not to foul easily. If there is a foul, Stoke City will directly invite a few big players to rush into Sheffield United's penalty area, regardless of whether it is suitable or not.

Four or five players around 1.9 meters plus a [-]-meter Crouch, any team would feel a little guilty facing such a situation.

Fortunately, Maguire and Vertonghen played very bravely, coupled with Matic, Dembele and Li Mo's set-pieces to assist in the defense, Stoke City's tactics of stealing chickens did not succeed.

In such a situation, the players of Stoke City can be regarded as seeing a little hope.

It was helpful to find Crouch, and the players on both sides took turns to grab the second point many times, and the formation became more and more forward.

All this was seen by the players of Sheffield United.

Bell began to consciously pull side preparations, Li Mo's retracements increased, and Drinkwater and Matic were patiently waiting for the opportunity.

After ten minutes of stalemate, the Stoke City players seemed to be a little bit impatient. In addition to the two full-backs, Whitehead and Glenn Whelan in the middle also frequently advanced with the ball.

In the 204th minute of the first half, Facing Crouch's header again, Vertonghen suddenly went up and intercepted before Stoke's second striker Walters got the ball. The ball was passed to Drinkwater on the side.

At this time, Brother Drinking Water also saw Li Mo who retreated to the midfield line. Without hesitation, Brother Drinking Water directly lobbed the ball over.

Glenn Whelan bit the bullet and stepped forward to interfere with Li Mo, but after Li Mo took the ball with his back firmly, he took a step back and opened a little distance from Glenn Whelan to avoid fouls. , and then quickly started, completed the turn, and began to advance with the ball!
Li Mo's sudden retreat made Glenn Whelan's idea of ​​pulling the jersey in vain. At this time, if he tried again, he would have to eat a card, but what was even more annoying was that Li Mo didn't even give him a chance to get a card. The range is so large that Glenn Whelan can't touch him at all.

In the competition of speed, Glenn Whelan is not Li Mo's opponent at all, and can only watch Li Mo break through.

"Turn around decisively, Li passed by! Sheffield United's counterattack is coming!"

The Sky Sports commentator got excited.

Sheffield United's signature counterattack, plus there is Bell on the left, the advancement speed will definitely be astonishingly fast!

However, Li Mo did not choose to pass the ball at the first time. He advanced quickly with the ball, and there was no half-point stagnation in the process of striding forward.

Facing Wilson's interception, Li Mo didn't even care about it. He slammed the ball directly to the front right, and then directly ate the opponent raw!

Li Mo's advance directly attracted the attention of all the defensive players in Stoke City, but at this time, there were only a few defenders left in Stoke City's backcourt, and Whitehead was pressing too far forward, and he was still chasing back at this time , Glenn Whelan was also thrown away by Li Mo early, and there was not a midfielder in Stoke City's backcourt who could be right and then intercept.

But when Shawcross couldn't bear to move closer to Li Mo, Li Mo directly kicked and sent a fast through ball!
The football almost brushed the feet of Huth, who was constantly retreating, and went straight to the right part of Stoke City's big penalty area.

In that wide space, Wilkinson was extremely embarrassed to chase back, but after Bell started, he caught up with the football with an unstoppable momentum!
This kick doesn't even need to be explained by the commentator. The audience watching the ball know that it is not offside.

Because when Li Mo passed the ball, Bell was almost two positions away from Huth, who was dragged at the end!

This is simply off the charts!
After rushing out from Shawcross and Wilkinson, Bell easily caught up with Li Mo's through ball, and then under Begovic's desperate eyes, Bell kicked the ball directly to the near corner!
Begovic is tall, which is a good size for goalkeepers, but in certain situations, their tall stature can also be their disadvantage.

For example now.

When the wicket was pierced, Begovic felt like he was about to cry.

He wanted to get off the ground quickly, but he couldn't!

The football passed through Begovic's crotch and went straight into the net at the near corner. The kick was crisp and beautiful, and it also broke up the confidence that the Stoke City players had accumulated with great difficulty. !
"Oh oh oh!!! Gareth Bale! Decisive shot! Beautiful goal! Both Bale and Lee completed the pass, and even better, they gave each other an assist! Sheffield United scored two The ball is leading, and it seems that such a score will not be the final result!"

At this moment on the Internet, Sheffield United fans have also started their carnival.

"Lee and Bell, plus Joaquin, which Premier League team can defend against this striker combination?!"

"If you can stop Bell, you can't stop Lee, if you can stop Lee, you can't stop Bell and Joaquin, hahahahaha, this is Super Sheffield United!"

"Damn it! I should have bought a season ticket! You guys are so fast, guys, is there anyone else who can sell a set of season tickets?"

"Don't get complacent too early! We also have Rooney, Van Persie and Nani, not worse than your striker, okay?"

"Speak hard, keep talking hard."

Among all the discussions among England fans from all walks of life, only Manchester United fans dared to come out and challenge Sheffield United.

After all, judging from the statistics of last season, the combination of Rooney + Van Persie, together with Nani or Hernandez, is quite competitive.

But now, from the perspective of the scene alone, Sheffield United's offense can only be said to be unique!
In less than half an hour, Sheffield United's Li Mo and Bell both ushered in the first goal of the season. Manchester United's Van Persie was on standby for this game.

Among all the powerful teams in the Premier League, only Chelsea can start the game with Sheffield United.

In the opening 7 minutes, Chelsea took a two-goal lead, but compared to Sheffield United's striker, Chelsea drove in reverse.

Ivanovic and David Luiz scored headers in the 3rd and 7th minutes of the game respectively, and Premier League rookie Eden Hazard sent a wonderful cross assist.

Chelsea fans are quite satisfied. Bertrand, Hazard and Mata have performed quite well. It seems that they have a bright future again.

Among the turmoil, the Arsenal fans were the most disappointed.

For two years, for two consecutive years, he sold the captain one after another. In this game, Wenger was unused. He even used Gervinho to top the center forward, which was called a hot eye.
Looking at Sheffield United's offensive line at this time, Arsenal fans can only be silently envious in their hearts.

At least the title of the strongest attacking line in the Premier League in the new season, Sheffield United has been confirmed in the twenty minutes of game time!
