Chapter 246 Ground 240 Chapter [-] Lu Hanhan, accept the magic power
After the first four rounds of the Premier League this season, the division of levels appeared soon.

The same point as last season is that Liverpool's start is still stable and the hips are stretched. Even if the coach is changed, it seems that the effect is not great.

The difference is that Manchester City, one of the Manchester City duo, has begun to fall behind.

Chelsea has emerged suddenly. Although they lost to Sheffield United before, they still made it to the top four, only behind Sheffield United and Manchester United.

With Sheffield United achieving a record of four games, three wins and one draw, Manchester United still withstood the pressure and adjusted after the first round of the league overturned.

Although they have defeated their opponents 3-2 in two consecutive games, judging from the results, Manchester United's three-game winning streak has boosted morale, and it is currently only one point behind Sheffield United, ranking second in the league.

As for teams such as Arsenal, Newcastle and Everton, they are currently in the upper circle of the league, which is a normal start.

It's just that Tottenham are having a hard time right now.

After Bell was poached, Vertonghen was not won. Although Alderweireld, Nasri and Cabaye were added, the decline in Tottenham's strength cannot be ignored.

After the four rounds, Tottenham are only ranked No.12 in the league, and we can only see the follow-up coaching level of Boas.

The worst Premier League giants is undoubtedly Liverpool.

Although they failed to break into the upper circle at the beginning of the league last season, they were still close to the upper circle. Liverpool this season is really sad to hear and tears to hear.

Four rounds, two draws and two losses, only two points, tied with Queens Park Rangers, but because of two fewer goals conceded, it is temporarily ranked second to last in the league
Miserable, really miserable!
Looking at the five major leagues, there is no "real" football giant worse than Liverpool.

After poaching the marshal Rodgers who led Swansea back to the Premier League, Liverpool's top management thought they would be on the road to rise this season, but they didn't expect to fall into another big pit.

This start is not as good as King Dalglish!
But the head coach is chosen by himself, and now the new players are bought according to Rodgers' preferences, so what can we do?

I can only pinch my nose and continue to make a statement trusting Rogers.

Premier League fans now don't know how Liverpool can climb back from the bottom of the league to the upper circle, just like they don't know how Sheffield United can lose.

Three wins and one draw in the first four games. The tie was because Sheffield United wanted to retain their strength to play in the Champions League and had no desire to attack.

Two 4-0 victories and a 2-0 victory over Chelsea, this performance is really impeccable.

Compared with the stumbling Manchester United, Sheffield United this season is more kingly looking from left to right.

And Li Mo's performance is still stable.

Stable and excellent!
Back-to-back hat-tricks, seven goals in four games, and a hat-trick in the recently concluded Champions League
Plus an evolved Bell who scored five goals in four league games.

In such a state, such a superstar, how could he lose?
Perhaps, we really have to wait for Manchester United and Manchester City to try Sheffield United again. At least in the fifth round of the Premier League, no one has hope for West Bromwich Albion's attack on Sheffield United.

You know, the current Sheffield United is not the poor team of last season. They have money, and the strength of the players in rotation is also rising.

The fans who had good things before formed a new lineup of Sheffield United's rotation players. Good guy, that's the level of the top ten in the league.

With these players in the rotation, not to mention going through all the games, at least Li Mo can get more support than last season. Just because of this alone, other teams feel a headache.

The current West Bromwich Albion fans feel very nervous.

Huo Taigong took over the work of the national team this summer and has already gone to coach the British national team, so the current West Bromwich Albion can be said to have regressed a lot in terms of tactics and on-the-spot adjustments.

Huo Taigong had at least [-]% of the credit for being able to relegation ahead of schedule last season, but this season without the coach's backing, the team didn't make much reinforcement. West Bromwich Albion fans now only hope that Sheffield United will take it easy .

However, on the afternoon of September 9, when they saw the starting list released by Sheffield United in advance, the hearts of West Bromwich Albion fans were half-cooled.

Li Mo and Vardy started as double forwards, left midfielder Bale, right midfielder De Bruyne, and double midfielder Moussa Dembelega Medel.

With such a midfield lineup, the head coach of West Bromwich Albion wanted to say:
This is not bullying!

Had it not been for Sheffield United's defenders who had been replaced by Cresswell, Stones, Chris Morgan and Matthew Lorton this round, and the goalkeeper had also been replaced by a young Sommer, the fans of West Bromwich Albion would have been really happy. There is no hope at all.

Because they hoped that the team could find a way to rotate Sheffield United's defense, West Bromwich Albion fans still filled the Hawthorns before the game.

Of course, with more than 6000 seats, even if the fans of West Bromwich Albion wanted to vacate the seats, the fans of Sheffield United would not agree.

Because Sheffield United has been in a state of runaway from the beginning of this season, the fans of Sheffield United are also extremely enthusiastic.

The atmosphere at Bramall Lane Stadium is very hot. Not to mention, when playing away games, Sheffield United fans are willing to spend a lot of money to buy tickets.

It is also fortunate that a large number of home fans on West Bromwich Albion still chose to come to the stadium to watch the game. Otherwise, the fans of Sheffield United today designated West Bromwich Albion to see their enthusiasm.

Away to home?
That's also possible~
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the fifth round of the Premier League match started on time at the Hawthorn Stadium. Even with the cheers and cheers of the home fans, the players of West Bromwich Albion still seemed a little tight when they first attacked, and they couldn't let go of their movements.

On the other hand, Lukaku, a teenager on loan from Chelsea, dared to ask for the ball.

Maguire and Vertonghen did not play in this game, Lukaku felt relieved when he saw this, and then he felt a strong desire to perform.

He played in Chelsea's game against Sheffield United last season. At that time, he really had no idea about Maguire. It was too difficult for him to compete with Maguire in the middle.

But now Maguire is not there, Chris Morgan and Stones?An old guy, a kid, he's still worried about the ass.

"Can't beat Maguire, can my little monster still can't beat you two?"

Lukaku muttered something in his heart, and then raised his hand many times to ask for the ball. He also began to drill into the Sheffield United penalty area non-stop.

This scene made Li Mo startled and suspicious.

"Is Tie Hanhan enlightened? Can he really use his body to attack in the middle?"

Lukaku's physical fitness is definitely one of the best in football. If this guy really suddenly becomes enlightened, the nickname of Little Warcraft really deserves it.

Seeing this, the players of West Bromwich Albion were also determined.

Doesn’t this offense lack an arrow? Now Lukaku is willing to stand up and be the arrow. They have a goal, so they are no longer intimidated. Instead, they are active and want to establish the right to deliver the ball to Lukaku channel.

Speed ​​frowned, and just to be on the safe side, he went to the sidelines and shouted to the players in the backcourt to pay more attention.

The main reason is that he didn't know that West Bromwich Albion's head coach Steve Clarke would start Lukaku in this game. Before that, West Bromwich Albion's starting centers were all 1.8-meter Sean Long, so he discharged such a defense formation.

Steve Clarke's sudden change of formation really caught him off guard. Lukaku's physique looks a little scary. If he can really play the role of a powerful center, then Chris Morgan Gastons is really bad. limit.

But now that the game has just started, there is no need to make substitutions and adjustments immediately. Speed ​​plans to take another look. If Chris Morgan and Stones really can't stand it, he will ask Maguire to warm up.

After Sheffield United intentionally shrunk their formation, West Bromwich Albion made a bold forward press. In the 4th minute of the first half, after several trials, West Bromwich Albion launched an offensive on the right.

Because I didn't think about making trouble in the hinterland of Sheffield United, I just wanted to give Lukaku a feeling first, so West Brom's winger Brent and midfielder Morrison played a cooperation, just pushed the ball into the Sheffield United's defense in the third area directly chose to pass the kick.

Such a cross seems a bit too simple and rough, but the West Bromwich Albion fans still looked nervously at Sheffield United's penalty area.

They all hope that the "little monster" who scored a goal in 10 minutes as a substitute in the first round of the league, this game can still surprise them.

This ball does not seek to form an attack, as long as it can resist the pressure and get it down, or smoothly return it to the midfielder Morrison, it proves that Lukaku is capable of standing in Sheffield United's penalty area.

With such a strong fulcrum, West Bromwich Albion's offense can be easily launched.

Under the gaze of countless spectators, Lukaku leaned on Stones with his back, and then jumped up high with all his strength, with a crooked smile on his mouth, full of confident charm!
"The great little monster will step on Sheffield United's corpse and become famous! What Li can do, I can also do. Next, hey, where is my ball?"

Lukaku landed in a daze. He obviously saw the football coming, and he also took off, but why didn't he feel the real touch of the football in the end?Has football suddenly disappeared?

At this time, Chris Morgan, who was preparing to block the defense, was also a little confused, but he pushed the missed football out of the penalty area in the first time.

A big "?" emerged in Stones' heart after seeing Lukaku's self-confidence collapse.

West Bromwich Albion fans: "?"

Steve Clark: "?"

Speed: "?"

Li Mo covered his face.

Although the protagonist is not himself, seeing such an embarrassing scene, he still couldn't help covering his eyes.

Tie Hanhan, Tie Hanhan, it's you!

"Is this the top? Is Lukaku the top?"

Zhang Lu asked with some uncertainty, Zhan Jun also widened his eyes, and finally nodded dumbfounded.

"It's the top, this ball, Lukaku didn't hit it. Although I don't know why Lukaku missed the ball when he had enough time to prepare, but there is no doubt that in judging the ball path and Lukaku still needs to practice more on the timing of the top fight."

The fans of Sheffield United will not save face for Lukaku, and they couldn't help laughing after being surprised.

The main reason is that the sharp front-to-back contrast makes them laugh or not.

Lukaku raised his hand to ask for the ball many times with a confident face, and his expression was very serious when he took off, but this is the end?
"Hey, buddy, didn't you practice headers when you were in the youth training camp? Well, you are so big, you shouldn't be."

Stones can't figure it out, can't figure it out at all, with Lukaku's physique and physical condition, in the youth training camp of any team in the Premier League, he has long been trained according to the black and hard template of a powerful center.

Accurately judge the ball path and landing point, and use physical fitness to compete for the top. This is the basic skill that a strong high center must master, right?

Hearing Stones' question, Lukaku, who would react, froze for a moment, then turned around, and pulled out of the penalty area in silence.

If it wasn't for his skin color to cover it up, his face would definitely look like a monkey's butt at this moment.

Looking at the surprised and puzzled eyes of his teammates, Lukaku only felt that his face was hot.

In fact, during training, his fulcrum function is quite obvious.

I just don't know why, but he seems very unconfident in this aspect as soon as he is on the court.

Although you can make excuses for yourself, it is indeed too inappropriate for the situation of the top to fall.

Lukaku forced himself to calm down.

"Didier told me that as a center forward, you must have a calm mind. I am destined to return to Stamford Bridge to inherit the title of Warcraft. This setback is nothing, huh."

Taking a deep breath, Lukaku first gave Brent a thumbs up in the previous pass, and then started his brain again.

However, Sheffield United has already started to attack this time, and Lukaku can only slowly retreat with his teammates, waiting patiently for the next opportunity.

After being bluffed by Lukaku, a lot of time was wasted, and Dembele quickly directed his teammates to form.

Somewhat different from Drinkwater, Dembele's attributes are more versatile. Although he can also sit in the backcourt to organize and organize, he actually wants to do the job of holding the ball forward.

In this game, Speed ​​chose to send Dembele to start. In addition to giving Drinkwater a good rest, he also took a fancy to his excellent ability to advance from defense to offense.

There is no need to waste time to find the route of the ball, Moussa Dembele can push the ball to the local defensive third area by himself.

At Fulham last season, Dembele did a lot of it.

Facing West Bromwich Albion's retreat at this moment, Dembele did not hesitate, and began his performance after receiving Medel's pass.

Although he is tall and strong, Dembele's skills are very good and his body is also very flexible. Facing the interception of West Bromwich Albion's midfielder Mulumbu, Dembele smashed twice in a row and changed direction easily. space.

But Dembele didn't have a headache. After seeing another midfielder Jacob also sticking to his side, he decisively distributed the ball to Bell who was plugging in at high speed on the left.

Without the interception interference from the midfielder, Bell, who was on the weak side of West Bromwich Albion's defense, decisively lay down the ball and accelerated.

West Brom's right-back Billy Jones didn't dare to be careless, so he could only turn around and go to Kabell's position first.

Bell was about to try to continue to lie on the ball and eat it raw, but when he caught sight of Li Mo's response from the corner of his eye, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to push forward and knocked the ball across.

Li Mo will hardly do useless running, and Bell believes that he has seen a better offensive opportunity.

And Li Mo did not let Bell down. After receiving the ball, he immediately turned his back to block the interfering Macaulay, and then swept the ball directly to the open position on the right side of the penalty area.

Because Mulumbu was moved by Dembeleira, Jacob is also in the half area where Bell and Limo are at the moment, so there is a small space on the right side of the West Bromwich Albion penalty area.

What Li Mo seized was such an opportunity that could be stifled by West Bromwich Albion defenders at any time, but he believed in De Bruyne's keen observation of the situation on the field.

As far as the use of space on the field is concerned, De Bruyne is definitely the top three in the Sheffield United team.

It doesn't make sense to be able to see but can't run to the position, right?
Amidst the exclamations of the major commentators, De Bruyne did indeed appear at the most suitable spot to catch the ball.

He led the ball horizontally, and then De Bruyne shot directly on the sideline of the penalty area!

De Bruyne exerted a lot of force, and the football flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal like a fired shell.

It's a pity that West Bromwich Albion's goalkeeper Foster was very focused, and in the end he managed to hold the ball out, and West Bromwich Albion's defender Olsson made a big-footed clearance immediately.

De Bruyne covered his head, roared in annoyance, and gave Li Mo a thumbs up apologetically.

"Oh, this ball is a pity, but Li Mo made the right choice and created a good offensive opportunity for the team. I don't know if Lukaku has learned something from this. The fulcrum of the center forward should be Use it like this."

Zhan Jun made a joke.

At this time, Lukaku on the field didn't know if he was unconvinced. Looking at the left midfielder Guella who had received the defender's big foot, he ran over to meet it immediately, and it seemed that he wanted to try for the ball for the second time.

Faced with Medel's close defense, Guerra had no good choice. He could only pass the ball to Lukaku who was responding first, and then retracted to the middle, signaling Lukaku to pass the ball back.

But the little monster didn't pass the ball back, but took the ball directly to the right of Sheffield United.

Lukaku has always had sufficient confidence in his skills and speed.

He believes that while Sheffield United's defensive players are not fully settled, he can create a pretty good opportunity!

Medel's forward pounce gave him a smooth opportunity to advance with the ball, but it also gave him some thoughts that he shouldn't have.

Facing Matthew Lorton, who was waiting in full force on the right, Lukaku smiled confidently.

"Watch me have a little explosion!"

Lukaku felt ruthless in his heart, and after waving the ball, he strode forward and accelerated with all his strength. Matthew Lorton saw this, but he didn't chase the ball immediately, but quickly got stuck in his position.

It has to be said that it is still difficult to stop the rushing Lukaku. Matthew Lorton's physical fitness is already quite good, but he can only delay Lukaku's impact a little bit.

However, when it comes to defense, it always depends on the system. You Lukaku runs fast. Is there no fast player in my Sheffield United defense?
In the eyes of the audience, although Lukaku's small explosion looked very imposing, but when Stones also started quickly and took advantage of Matthew Lawton to get stuck in Lukaku's sprinting position, he took the lead After one step to catch up with Lukaku's ball and destroy it out of the sideline, the little monster's attack looks very "reckless".

West Bromwich Albion manager Steve Clarke held his forehead and couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Li Mo covered his eyes again.

Lu Hanhan, take away your magical powers, your eyes are too hot!
