Chapter 231 Five goals in two games, first in the league

"Well, it's a bit cruel to the Sunderland fans, but I have to say that after they got a goal by Sheffield United, the game was destined to fall into the rhythm of Sheffield United. , Li's finishing ability is still so stable, the fourth goal in the new season, this is really a bad thing for other shooters, Li seems to be the leader in the scorer list this season."

"Mi Chucai and Li were tied for one day in the scorer list, and then they were squeezed out again. Mi Chu, who scored three goals in two games, gave us a big surprise, but in front of the big devil of Sheffield United, such a The data is not enough to look at!"

Sky Sports commentary and guests only praise Li Mo.

It was Li Mo's goal that broke the deadlock again, but such a scene has already been seen countless times by Premier League fans last season.

This season's Li Mo still maintains the characteristics of scoring key goals, and his scoring is more decisive and agile, and his growth is becoming more and more terrifying.

The Sheffield United players on the field raised their arms and shouted around Li Mo, and Speed ​​also shook his fist with a smile on the sidelines.

As the commentator said, after breaking the game, the game is destined to enter the rhythm of Sheffield United.

Unless Sunderland can withstand Sheffield United's offense and score an equalizer in the rest of the first half, otherwise Sheffield United will continue to play like this, and it will be a matter of time before they score again.

However, Sunderland fans obviously have no hope for the team to equalize.

Sessegnon was eaten to death by Medel, and the core of the attack seemed to be invisible. Do you expect others to explode?

The point is that even if they want to explode, the current Sunderland players don't have the ability.

It is possible for players from Arsenal, Liverpool or Tottenham to explode when they are behind. After all, there is no shortage of such young talents in the team, but what does Sunderland have?
In addition to Sessegnon, who was restricted to death, there is only one "former genius" Adam Johnson who was given up by Manchester City.

But in this game, Adam Johnson was actually blocked by Bell. It is really difficult for people to give him hope.

Li Mo is almost celebrating with his teammates at the moment.

On the way back to his own half, he did not forget to remind his teammates to continue to suppress Sunderland and not to relax.

After a four-day break after this game, they will leave for London to play Chelsea, so try to defeat Sunderland as early as possible, and they can control the field more during the rest of the game, which can be regarded as saving some energy.

After the re-kick-off, Sheffield United still maintained a high pressure on Sunderland. Speed ​​also kept telling his disciples to keep the rhythm on the sidelines and try to work hard, at least in the first half.

But the old handsome guy didn't shy away from yelling, and Martin O'Neill on the side was very angry when he heard it.

There are too few cards he can play in this game, otherwise he would not take Danny Rose to the position of the midfielder, but if he is optimistic about the Celtics' midfielder Ki Sung-yong, transfer over early, He will never be as helpless as he is now.

But the club's financial situation is like this. Although it can pay a lot of transfer fees, it can save a little bit. Martin O'Neill can only express his understanding of this.

After all, what can you do if you don’t understand?Come here, make do with it.

After the Sunderland players on the field persisted for five or six minutes, they gave the ball away again, and the situation returned to Sheffield United's suppressed attack.

Matt Ridge and Trippier also began to exert their strength. Matt Lippi and Bell on the left took turns to plug in, and Joaquin gave Trippier an entire side channel on the right.

Trippier contributed seven assists in the league last season, and his strength has been unanimously recognized by Premier League fans. Faced with the current oppressive situation, Trippier is more at ease.

With Joaquin and Berbatov pulled out as support, Trippier quickly got a good chance in the No. 304 minute of the first half.

Medel, Joaquin, and Berbatov completed a very beautiful short pass cooperation in Sunderland's rib area. Joaquin dribbled the ball and suddenly inserted, causing Sunderland's defense to loosen.

Sunderland's left-back Colback subconsciously followed Joaquin's inward cut, trying to interfere with Joaquin's pass or shot selection.

But after Joaquin saw the space on the wing, he decisively sent the ball over, and Trippier also plugged in at the right time, and got a pretty good bottoming opportunity.

McLean and Colback were brought into the gutter by a series of short passes before Sheffield United, allowing Trippier to easily complete the bottom pass almost without defense.

Berbatov feinted at the front point, leading Sunderland defender Kular to follow suit.

But O'Shea was very cautious this time and just followed Li Mo, so Li Mo didn't get much room to jump, so he could only lean sideways and hold O'Shea on his back first.

Just when Li Mo was about to force a volley to hit the goal, he saw Joaquin who subconsciously ran into the Sunderland penalty area and was standing on the right side of the penalty area, waiting to grab the second point.

"It seems that everyone thinks that I will knock the door."

Li Mo's mind quickly flashed this idea, and then he made a decision.

Facing the incoming ball, Li Mo did not jump with all his strength. After holding O'Shea's interference with his back, Li Mo jumped up slightly, and then chose to ferry the header to Joaquin, who was almost unguarded.

Seeing the football flying towards him, Joaquin was taken aback for a moment, but his movements were not slow, and he even stopped and adjusted. Faced with such an opportunity, Joaquin would not be soft on his feet, and directly volleyed the ball towards the goal far corner!
"Li Mo passed the ball?! Didn't hit. Joaquin! Good chance! Shot!"

Faced with Li Mo's sudden pass, Zhan Jun almost didn't react, but when he saw Joaquin stopping and hitting and finishing shooting, he immediately cried out excitedly.

Li Mo's choice was beyond everyone's expectations, but it also meant that it was difficult for the Sunderland players to react. Joaquin's shot was decisive, and Mignolet didn't even make any saves. Watching the football fly into the gate guarded by him for the second time!

"Goal! Joaquin, veteran Joaquin scored his first Premier League goal in his career! Li Mo's assist! Sheffield United 2-0!"

Faced with such a conceded goal, Mignolet was a little nervous. He really couldn't understand why Joaquin was allowed to get such a chance in the penalty area. This was definitely a major mistake by the defense.

But blame the central defender?

The two central defenders, one with Berbatov and the other to prevent Li Mo from shooting, did not make any mistakes. Mignolet could only vent his anger on the left back Kohlback and the midfielder Danny Rose.

Although Danny Rose felt aggrieved, Mignolet was angry now, and he was indeed a little slow to retreat just now, so he had no choice but to bear Mignolet's scolding.

And Joaquin, who scored the goal, was hugged by Li Mo and pushed to the corner flag area to celebrate.

He was still a little confused.

This is a goal?
Li Mo and Berbatov attracted all the defenders away. He seemed to be doing shooting practice, and it was still a shooting practice without anyone interfering.

It was too easy.

"No wonder they all say that you have your own system. It seems that after I finish playing this season, my value, which has been falling, may also rise."

Joaquin and Li Mo made a joke while hugging.

He now understands why one of Li Mo's nicknames was Little Ibrahimovic. Playing offensive tactics around Li Mo will indeed bring in more or less data.

Even if he is far away from the goal now, after two league games, he still has one pass and one shot. He couldn't play so easily in Malaga last season and also assisted and scored.

There is also Berbatov, with these two big centers, he feels that his statistics this season will not be bad, and may even set new highs.

"It's a passing shot again! Li Mo had an assist in the last game, and he assisted his teammate to score again in this game. Li Mo has proved with practical actions that no matter how his partner around him changes, he will be the one who adapts the fastest. Last season we I always joked that Li Mo scored goals and assists at Sheffield United, he is both a thigh and a babysitter, and it seems that his assists will not be less this season."

Zhang Lu is in a good mood. Li Mo has performed so well in two consecutive league games. He is in full condition. The chances of winning against the Neon team in the world preliminaries will be greatly increased!
And at the moment on the sidelines, Speed ​​also enthusiastically hugged the assistant coach with high fives. Joaquin's goal helped Sheffield United consolidate their advantage. After 2-0, Sheffield United has a lot of room for error.

It’s okay to continue to attack, and it’s okay to just play defense and counterattack, but for Sunderland, they have to choose to attack at least within a certain period of time, otherwise it will be too difficult to equalize the score.

After the players of Sheffield United finished celebrating, Li Mo asked Brother Drinking Water to discuss it.

There are about 10 minutes left in the first half of the game. If the Sunderland players still have the spirit, they will definitely seize this time to fight. After all, if they can get a goal back, the morale of the team will be completely different. of.

Li Mo originally wanted to suggest that Drinkwater control the situation a little bit, but Drinkwater said that he also thought the same way. The two coincided with each other, and immediately called their teammates to return to their own half, reminding each other to pay attention to defense.

When the game started again, Li Mo also retreated to near the middle circle to assist Medel and the others in controlling the field and intercepting the passes that interfered with the Sunderland players.

Seeing this, Speed ​​also knew that Li Mo must have discussed it with Drinkwater. Regarding their decision to slow down the rhythm and control the field more, Speed ​​felt that it was okay, so he didn't make any adjustments.

But Sunderland didn't know if it was wrong. Sheffield United wanted to control the field, not to give up the initiative directly.

However, the Sunderland players launched a quick attack after the kick-off. It seemed that they were not reconciled and wanted to use the last 10 minutes of the first half to try to score.

Sheffield United defended honestly at the beginning, but as the Sunderland team pressed higher and higher, not to mention Drinkwater, even Medel felt sorry for Sunderland if they did not fight back. So much space given.

Martin O'Neill has also seen the disadvantages of pressing the offense now, but he is also very entangled.

Sheffield United took the initiative to give up their position. If they didn't attack, it would be a waste of the current opportunity. In the second half, I don't know if Sheffield United will be so generous and let them attack, so Martin O'Neill also chose to take a gamble.

If you can steal one, you can steal one. Anyway, you are 0-2 behind. If you can't score a goal, the pressure on Sunderland's players will only increase as time goes by.

But just as the Sunderland players have been fruitless for a long time, Sheffield United is ready.

In order to let Sunderland's defensive players relax their vigilance, even if Sheffield United grabbed the ball, Drinkwater did not take the initiative to ask for the ball.

And when the time came to No.404 minutes of the first half, and it was about to enter a short stoppage time, the Sunderland players seized the opportunity to press hard. Chaos in the penalty area of ​​the Philippine Union.

But under the interference of Trippier, Steven Fletcher's header diverted too far, Sessegnon had no time to grab the second point, and the football was directly poked out of the penalty area by Maguire.

At this moment, Vertonghen showed his keen judgment on the situation. His speed was very fast, and he took the ball and started to rush forward before Danny Rose intercepted it.

Seeing this, Li Mo started to run horizontally from near the middle circle. Bell also rushed out from the penalty area at full speed. The speed was very fast, and within a few steps he threw away Adam Johnson who was chasing him.

But Vertonghen didn't choose to take it to the end, he directly chose to go over the top and pass the ball. The route of passing the ball was not the side road where Li Moola ran sideways, but the middle road!

At the moment when he passed the ball, Li Mo also seemed to have discussed with him in advance, and went straight behind O'Shea and Danny Rose from the side!

O'Shea was a little caught off guard by this momentary change in running position. Although Danny Rose was also shaken for a while, his speed could still keep up.

However, Li Mo only had football in his eyes at the moment, and even if Danny Rose kept pulling his hand, he could not interfere with his dribbling.

After both of them entered the third defensive zone, Li Mo suddenly stopped with a spike. Danny Rose lost the object to be dragged. Mo's strong core strength and body flexibility forced him to keep up, but the result was that his feet were stunned and he staggered and fell on the turf.

Such a scene made the Sunderland fans at the scene invisible.

If it weren't for the players on loan from their own home, they would definitely boo Danny Rose at this moment, but it's a pity that they can't boo now.

After getting rid of Danny Rose's defense, Li Mo also took the ball into Sunderland's penalty area and faced Mignolet alone.

However, Li Mo didn't dare to slow down at this time, O'Shea had already caught up to him at the moment of delay, Mignolet also gritted his teeth and chose to attack directly when he saw this.

Attacking back and forth, Li Mo may miss this opportunity if he is not careful.

So Li Mo chose the safest way at the moment.

During the high-speed dribbling, Li Mo suddenly swung the ball to the left in a big way!
Just one step past Mignolet, but now the football is approaching the bottom line, O'Shea hurried to the goal, trying to block Li Mo's shooting angle, but Li Mo was one step faster than him.

After taking great strides to catch up with the football, Li Mo didn't hesitate for a moment. He directly shook his left ankle and quickly pushed the ball to the far corner of the goal.

Mignolet turned around with all his strength, and then fell towards the goal, but his fingertips were still a certain distance from the football. O'Shea also tried to put a shovel in desperation, hoping that his legs could touch the football, so that He doesn't know if changing the running route of the football can stop the football from entering the net. He can only do his best and obey the destiny.

But in the end the football almost brushed past his toes, and finally bounced on the inside of the goal post and into the net. Such a scene almost made the more than 4 Sunderland fans in the audience forget to breathe!
"Tush from a small angle! The ball went in again! Mignolet and O'Shea made the last attempt, but neither of them could touch the football! No. 405 minutes! Sunderland actually scored in the first half In stoppage time, Li Mo made another victory! This is really a blow to the Sunderland players!"

In Zhan Jun's angry commentary, O'Shea and Mignolet were both lying on the turf, covering their eyes with their arms, looking extremely depressed.

They really tried their best, but still failed to stop Li Mo's goal.

0-3, they have been killed by this ball!

If Sheffield United maintains this score until the end of the game, then they will sit at the top of the league table.

And Li Mo also told the other teams in the Premier League with the performance of five goals in two games.

The wolf is coming, please be careful!
