Chapter 225 Sheffield United Sharks Are Crazy

"The 7000 million is worth it! As long as Bell continues to perform like this, he will have many assists this season! It's not that I don't like Vardy. At this stage, Bell is indeed a better helper beside Xiao Li, and this Sheffield United has a lot of games this season, and Vardy will have a lot of opportunities."

Zhang Lu smiled, and he was full of praise for Bell. Although he himself likes Vardy very much, at this stage, Bell's ability is indeed much higher than that of Vardy. He must choose Li Mo's best partner If so, Bell could not be more suitable.

After all, although Vardy can help Li Mo contain the opponent's defensive energy, Vardy also needs someone to feed him. His current ability to hold the ball is not strong.

But Bell can pass and shoot, and he is faster than Vardy. At least from this game, Bell has given Li Mo more support.

"Two passes and one shot! Not only Li Mo has evolved, but Bell also seems to have improved a lot compared to last season. In fact, Director Zhang is right. If Bell can continue to play like this, then the 7000 million yuan will be split. Look, it’s only two 500 million yuan, and now the market buys two 500 million players, it may not be as good as Bell’s performance alone, haha.”

Zhan Jun made a little joke.

Just over half an hour into the game, Bell had two passes and one shot, and Li Mo had two shots and one pass. This was a stunning debut for Sheffield United's new striker partner.

And Joaquin also avoided too much physical confrontation with Stoke City players. He played very comfortably in the position of the midfielder. Sheffield United's first goal of the game was also instigated by him. The performance is completely beyond his worth.

Speed's tactical design is almost perfectly compatible with the characteristics of the three offensive players from left to right.

Bell hit the defensive line, the burden on Li Mo's shoulders was much lighter, and he was only responsible for the final blow, while Joaquin was in charge of organizing and supporting him. He could also perform well when he was needed to break through, and the distribution of the ball was very reasonable.

In other words, that's the right three!

The construction of an offensive line is not just a pile of stars that can produce good results. In the case of mutual compatibility, even a few non-star players can form a good offensive line.

Li Mo, Bell, and Joaquin each have strong personal abilities when they are compatible. They can usually win by cooperating with mid- and lower-level teams. Possibility of the best opportunity.

The only thing that limits them now is time. They just need to keep running in and stay together for half a season. After one season, they will become a classic offensive combination.

And at the moment in the stadium, Li Mo was also pulled off the billboard by his teammates.

The Sheffield United players kept patting his shoulders and head, looking like they wanted to be "happy".

Li Mo's performance in the first game at the beginning of the season was so fierce, not only the fans enjoyed it, but also the Sheffield United players' morale was boosted.

As the core of the team's offense, if Li Mo can continue the super performance of last season, Sheffield United can go further on all fronts.

Li Mo's performance is the most important thing if he wants to win more and more heavyweight championships, so the Sheffield United players are very excited now.

This season has just started, and Sheffield United dare not say that their defense is still the best in the Premier League, but now, on the offensive line, Sheffield United can boldly challenge all Premier League strikers.

As long as the defense is maintained at the top three level and the most ferocious offensive firepower is added, then Sheffield United will be the biggest favorite to win the Premier League!

This feature sounds a lot like Manchester City last season, but the Sheffield United players don't think so.

They have Li Mo, and they don't lack the most basic offensive firepower against weaker teams. They can't beat the bad food. After the bench lineup is strengthened, they are not restricted by physical fitness and injuries, so they are not afraid of any challenges.

And the Sheffield United players are not mercenaries.

There are still many players in the team who were promoted from the British Championship with the team. Last season, they reached the third place in the league step by step. They are mentally strong enough and will never lose the chain at critical moments.

The key lies in Li Mo and Speed. As long as Li Mo is on the court, as long as Speed ​​is on the sidelines, Sheffield United will not lose their spirit.

This pair of mentors and apprentices with strong spirit and ability to withstand pressure is the soul of this Sheffield United team, and with the support of a large amount of funds, this Sheffield United team will naturally dare to compete with other powerful players .

At this time, the game time on the field has come to No.306 minutes. After the Sheffield United players celebrated, they all smiled and interacted with the fans, and walked back to their own half with ease.

"This is a strong team. So far, Sheffield United is also the first team to take a 3-0 lead. Manchester United and Arsenal are still in a stalemate with their opponents. Chelsea's score has not changed, and Manchester City have not scored Liverpool are still 0-1 behind. So far, Sheffield United's performance is dominant!"

The commentary of Sky Sports was very emotional.

At the start of last season, Manchester City's performance was the same, dominating one family.

When the results of other strong teams were not too good, Manchester City beat their opponents early and beat Swansea 4-0 in the first round.

After that, they won a wave of four consecutive victories, including a 5-1 massacre of Tottenham. They became one of the favorites to win the championship, and the limelight was only under Manchester United.

I don't know if this year's Sheffield United will follow the same path.

Countless Premier League fans are also amazed at Sheffield United's performance at this time.

"They will undoubtedly become the biggest trouble for us defending the title!"

An Internet celebrity fan of Manchester United spoke on social media, with a picture of Li Mo roaring and celebrating a goal, which immediately attracted messages from fans from all walks of life.

Manchester United fans are all vigilant. There was Manchester City last season, and Sheffield United this season. The competition in the Premier League in the past two years is not at all lower than before!

Times have changed too fast. Although Manchester United has only lost the Premier League title once since 07, and has won five Premier League titles in six years, it is definitely the number one overlord of the Premier League.

But fans who have watched Premier League games know that Manchester United has won several championships with extreme thrills.

Leaving aside, let’s just say that last season, Manchester United stepped on Manchester City to win the championship in the last round of the league. This situation is very similar to their competition with Chelsea in the 07-08 season.

But only the Premier League will have such fierce competition. The champions of Ligue [-], Serie A, and Bundesliga have too much of an advantage in leading each year. La Liga is the duo of Real Madrid, and they will join Atletico Madrid next year.

The business model of the Premier League is doomed. Even the lower-ranked teams will not be safe. After all, every time they rank higher, they will get more broadcast fees.

This "some" is an out-and-out huge sum of money in the eyes of teams in the middle and lower reaches of other leagues.

In recent years, fans of other Premier League teams have also become more and more unhappy watching Manchester United. As long as there is a team that can block Manchester United, they will support it.

In addition, the current strength of Sheffield United is obviously at the time when it is time to compete for hegemony in the Premier League, and it is not a competitive relationship with most of the Premier League teams. Fans of these teams have no ill feeling towards Sheffield United.

In short, as long as there is a chance to pull Manchester United from the throne of the Premier League, these fans will cheer for the challenging team. If it is reflected in the online world, it is the fans who besieged Manchester United.

Only the Arsenal fans are different. They are still watching the lively social media battle in silence.

As if all this had nothing to do with them.

That's exactly what it said.

The joys and sorrows of human beings are not connected, I just think they are noisy
There is constant turmoil on the Internet, and in reality, the first round of the Premier League match in ten stadiums also ushered in a short break.

Sheffield United entered the intermission smoothly with a score of 3-0.

Chelsea is also very satisfied with the score in the first half. As for other strong teams, they either win by one goal or draw.

However, there are also overturns. Tottenham and Liverpool are currently 0-1 behind, but the fans also think this is only temporary.

It's normal for Tottenham to fall behind against Newcastle. Liverpool can't even beat West Bromwich Albion. Right?
The players of Sheffield United also got the current scores of each team in the locker room.

When they learned that they were the only team that took a three-goal lead in the first half, the Sheffield United players couldn't help clapping a little.

Of course, the game is not over yet, everything is only temporary, and it’s not time to celebrate. In the second half, you have to score another goal for Stoke City. It won’t be a complete victory until they disarm~
Speed ​​also asked Vardy to warm up at the beginning of the second half.

Both Bell and Joaquin performed very well today, and they may have to try changing formations in the second half.

If it is changed to [-], then Vardy is still Li Mo's most suitable striker partner, and Vardy is also determined after hearing Speed's explanation.

The handsome old man still thinks about him.

Being able to play is better than sitting on the bench all the time. Vardy is also starting to make preparations for playing, and Li Mo is communicating with Joaquin.

At this time, the attribute of being a top student comes in handy. Thanks to the simple Spanish he taught himself last season, besides Medel, Li Mo is the player with the least difficulty in communicating with Joaquin.

The two chatted about the weather in England and complained about British food together, looking very relaxed.

And Speed ​​is also considering substitutions in the second half.

In addition to Vardy's playing at that time, Medel will also start preparing in advance.

The number of appearances that Speed ​​set for Joaquin is 25 league games, five or six to ten cup games, and about 35 to [-] games in a season.

Therefore, Medel is still a very important member of the midfield.

And Medel can not only play in the midfield, during the summer training, Speed ​​played him at the right back or even the center back for a few training games. As a result, Medel played quite well, which can be regarded as A pleasant surprise.

After all, no matter the fullback, Medel has played before, but as a central defender, Medel, who is in his early 1.7 meters, had a very good chemical reaction with Maguire, which gave Speed ​​another card in his hand. can fight.

Medel's versatility allows him to play in the backcourt without worrying about playing opportunities. Faced with different formations, Speed ​​will arrange different players to play.

For example, against Stoke City today, Speed ​​arranged for the tall and strong Dembele to partner with Drinkwater, but when facing the rest of the team, Speed ​​will still give priority to Medel.

The double midfielder system formed by Medel and Matic in defense is the key to Sheffield United becoming the strongest defensive team in the Premier League last season. Speed ​​is reluctant to give up such a combination, so even the grumpy Medel , but also honestly obey Speed's arrangement.

After making all the substitution adjustments, Speed ​​asked the players to hurry up and recover their physical fitness.

The assistant coach briefly mentioned the tactical adjustments. It is nothing more than the change of offensive and defensive positions that everyone should pay attention to if the game is changed to [-] in the second half.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Mo, who had changed into a new jersey, led his teammates out of the locker room again.

After the start of the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again, but Stoke City wanted to grab the start.

Facing Stoke City's offensive pressure, Sheffield United did not choose a hard top, but "obediently" let the Stoke City players let go for another half.

Defense is not a problem for Sheffield United. Both Bell and Joaquin also consciously retreated to their own half to assist the midfielders in intercepting and pressing.

After being settled in this way, Sheffield United's defensive formation instantly became a four-five-one, and the number of midfielders was not small at all. The Stoke City players wanted to attack but didn't know where to start.

Dembele's position is deeper, and he directly formed a double-high midfielder with Matic. Crouch can only act as a fulcrum in the face of such a midfielder combination, and it is still the kind of fulcrum that is ineffective at times.

After all, one Matic is enough to make him uncomfortable, and another Dembele who is also tall and strong, Crouch said he couldn't bear it.

And looking at Sheffield United's defense, Stoke City coach Pulis was going crazy.

Matic Gamedel, Matic Gadrinkwater, and now Matic Gadembele!

Show off how many good midfielders you have in your team!

Dembele didn't play as a defensive midfielder in Fulham. Now that you are Sheffield United, you have become a defensive champion. Why do you like to change other people's positions so much?
But when the Stoke City players were pressing but it was difficult to penetrate Sheffield United's midfield defense, Sheffield United was always looking for another offensive opportunity.

Defensive and counterattack, Sheffield United's old tactics, I am not afraid of you attacking, but I am afraid that you will not attack, if you do not attack, where will I get a chance~
In the 7 minutes of the second half, the football pushed out by Maguire was picked up by Stoke City midfielder Whitehead.

But his side pass was just intercepted by Drinkwater who retreated. Faced with such a big gift, Drinkwater would not waste it at all. Li Mo at the half-court line.

In the face of the ball, Li Mo was not in a hurry, and first put his back on Shawcross's interference.

After firmly holding the ball, Li Mo did not choose to turn around. Shawcross had already stuck to him, and he was easily interrupted by a foul by Shawcross forcibly turning around.

After clinging to Shawcross with his broad back, Li Mo took the ball and observed it for a while, but then he swept the ball directly to his right rear!

Bell started his invincible sprint again. After the acceleration was successful, Knightley could only choose to chase back, wanting to destroy Li Mo's pass first.

But Li Mo didn't care about the accuracy of the ball at all, and he didn't control the speed of the ball. The advance of the pass was quite large, so large that it made Knightley and Wilkinson scold their mothers.

Bell likes this kind of ball very much. As long as the ball does not pass the sideline, he is sure to get it.

So amidst the crazy cheers of the audience, Bell almost completed overtaking one after another, throwing away Knightley, also dodged Wilkinson's pull, circled from the sideline, and still rushed past Will. Jinsen, finally managed to get the ball!
"This is the role of Li Mo's fulcrum! He is not afraid of any confrontation, but he can play the ball! The ball is not perfect, but it fits Bell's characteristics very well!"

Zhan Jun said excitedly, Sheffield United's classic counterattack was staged again, who will score this time?
If it is still Li Mo, then Li Mo will perform a hat-trick!

After Bell got the ball on the field, he faced the pursuit of the two behind him, and faced Huth's staring eyes at the front, which seemed to be in a predicament.

But Bell didn't panic. After dribbling the ball at high speed for two more steps, he kicked decisively, and it turned out to be a super-wide transfer!

The football crossed a big arc, sticking to the turf and accurately found Joaquin who was plugging in at a high speed on the right.

The Stoke City players who followed Li Mo seemed to have found their target, and quickly chased after Joaquin who was unmarked.

Shawcross ran to the restricted area in a straight line. He wanted to set up a line of defense with Huth before Li Mo entered the restricted area and went back, but it was already too late.

After Bell passed the ball, he went straight to the middle of the penalty area and took Huth away. After Joaquin saw that Li Mo was empty, he kicked and sent another cross when he entered Stoke City's defensive third area.

Li Mo, who was still sprinting in the middle just now, also tacitly ran to the rear point of Stoke City's restricted area.

At this moment, Shawcross was rushing towards the center, Huth was taken away by Bell, and Li Mo was only facing the defense of Wilkinson, the full-back.

His running position perfectly matched Joaquin's passing route. Amidst the exclamation of countless commentators, Li Mo seemed to be practicing shooting, completely ignoring Wilkinson's interference, and shot with his left foot. The ball was kicked down the near corner!
Begovic came to his senses this time, and his fall to the ground was also quick, but facing the football that almost rolled into the goal against the goal post, Begovic was beyond his reach, and could only watch the ball hit the goal again. Hit the net!
"The third goal! Hat-trick! Li Mo completed the hat-trick!!! Joaquin also completed the assist, this is crazy! Only ten minutes into the second half, Li Mo made another victory! Sheffield United 4-0 Stoke City!"

Bramall Lane Stadium is roaring again!
After completing the hat-trick, Li Mo laughed and pointed at Joaquin, calling for his teammates to come and celebrate with him.

In less than 10 minutes, four goals!
Sheffield United Sharks are crazy!
