Chapter 247 West Bromwich Albion being teased

Faced with an outrageous mistake, West Bromwich Albion fans can actually accept it.

After all, it is normal for young players to make mistakes.

But not long after the start of the first half, Lukaku made a series of outrageous mistakes, wasting the team's rare offensive opportunities, and the West Bromwich Albion fans couldn't bear it.

You specialize in a center forward, a black and hard one with a height of 1.9 meters. Instead of going to the center to fight against the opponent's defenders and establish a stable point for the team to get the ball, instead go to the side to compete with the opponent's speed?

If you win the fight, you don't say anything, but now you lose the fight and give the ball to Sheffield United, what are you going to do?
At this moment, Steve Clark was blushing with anger when he saw the little monster he had strongly asked the team to introduce perform like this.

Lukaku's performance is completely slapping him in the face!

After finally finding an opportunity to right Lukaku and put Xiao Enlong on the bench, Lukaku played a small explosion for him, and the team manager and owner probably had a dark face.

Sean Long doesn't fit his tactics anymore, at least he can score eight or nine league goals in a season, and if Lukaku is allowed to play like this, Steve Clark estimates that the team manager will have to talk to him tomorrow.

Therefore, now Steve Clark has made a bold decision, he is going to wake up Lukaku!

"Romelu! What the hell are you doing? You're kicking like a piece of shit! Get back to your place right now, and get the fuck out of here!"

The angry Steve Clark was a little scary, at least Lukaku just glanced at the sidelines, shrunk his neck, and then walked back to the middle with embarrassing scratches on the back of his head.

The noise at the scene prevented Lukaku from actually hearing what his head coach was saying, but without even thinking about it, it would definitely not be a good thing.

Facing this famous coach who is very optimistic about his Blues' seriousness, Lukaku will be rebellious no matter how rebellious he is, and he dare not give birth to rebellious thoughts, so he can only suppress the desire to express in his heart that has nowhere to rest.

After sighing, Lukaku looked at the opposite half, to be precise, he looked at Li Mo standing in front of the West Bromwich Albion penalty area.

If he hadn't faced Sheffield United in this game, he wouldn't have been so eager to express himself.

He likes Drogba very much, one of his childhood idols was African Warcraft, and he also likes Adriano very much.

Chelsea's optimism made him ecstatic, and it was a great thing for him to play with his childhood idol.

But after arriving at Chelsea, although he realized his dream of playing football with Drogba, his name gradually became his nightmare.

That is Li Mo.

Although Lukaku directly won the title of Little Warcraft after transferring to the Premier League, Li Mo was dubbed the successor of Adriano or Drogba early on.

Terry and Drogba also used Li Mo as an example from time to time, trying to make Lukaku tougher.

This made Lukaku feel a lot of pressure.

Because Li Mo's goals are too exaggerated, Lukaku was shocked by his performance on the court.

He didn't want to be compared by Li Mo like this, especially in front of his captain and his idol.

But the data that Li Mo finally obtained last season caused Lukaku's mentality to crack directly.

Not to mention 35 goals, even 25 goals in a single season in the Premier League is a very difficult goal for him, but Li Mo has completed it.

Li Mo, who is only one month older than him, completed the feat of 35 goals and [-] assists in a single season in the Premier League. Compared with Li Mo, these new generation stars seem to be the foil.

Lukaku actually knew in his heart that Li Mo and him were no longer players at the same level.

Forcibly competing with Li Mo is destined to end badly, but Lukaku just held his breath in his heart.

Maybe he didn't want to prove that his talent is stronger than Li Mo, he just wanted to let others see that he, Romelu Lukaku, deserved the nickname of Little Warcraft.

He wanted Didier to say those words in comfort:

I'm proud of you, Romelu.

But now it seems that the gap between him and Li Mo is still too big.
Tie Hanhan was a little aggrieved, he just wanted to get the attention that should belong to him, but in this period of time in the Premier League, not to mention their young players, many well-known stars were suppressed by Li Mo.

This is the prosperity of the Premier League, but it is also the tragedy of all the stars in the Premier League.

Because almost all the compliments are taken by one person.

Just like La Liga, no matter how well Aguero, Falcao, or Higuain and Villa play, the spotlight will always only shine on those two people.

The difference between Lukaku and them may be that they are used to it, but Lukaku is not used to it yet.

Li Mo didn't know what was going on in Lukaku's mind. Even if he knew, there was nothing he could do to help Tie Hanhan's psychological pressure.

Even without him, in the context of Melo's struggle for hegemony, Lukaku and the others still have no choice but to become green leaves.

It's only been 12 years, and the rivalry between Melo's two monsters will last almost until the 19-20 season, and then the two will gradually step down from the altar.

Almost two generations of stars will be jointly suppressed by them. The fate of these two generations of stars has long been doomed
At this moment, Li Mo only felt that Lukaku's performance was a bit strange, and then he was thinking about how to make a shot at West Bromwich Albion.

Facing West Bromwich Albion's central defender, Li Mo was still very excited.

Macaulay is also an old acquaintance.

When playing in the British Championship before, Li Mo played against Macaulay, who was playing for Ipswich Town at the time.

Macaulay also played more than 30 Premier League games in West Bromwich Albion last season, and his strength has increased a lot.

As a slightly slower speed, Macaulay, who is similar in height and weight to Li Mo, can be regarded as one of the few opponents in the Premier League who can give Li Mo the pressure.

And Macaulay's partner, the 1.9-meter-three big central defender Olsson is also good.

The central defender line of the two partners gave Li Mo a lot of excitement.

Speaking of which, if Li Mo can return to the Premier League six or seven years in advance, then he will have no shortage of opponents.

In that star-studded era, Terry at his peak, Ferdinand, Ledley King, Vidic, Campbell at the tail of his peak
These talents will be Li Mo's best opponents. Unfortunately, when Li Mo grows up, the defensive superstars of the Premier League will also age collectively.

Mertesacker of Arsenal is one of those who can fight against Li Mo one-on-one now, and Kompany of Manchester City and Huth of Stoke City can only be counted as more than half.

So much so that Li Mo was very excited when he met a good central defender combination.

But he will be excited, but Macaulay and Olsson are complaining in their hearts.

Speaking of which, Macaulay and Li Mo have also played against each other four times, but most of them lost, and no one can stand it.

Not only is the matchup to be tortured, but the team also loses all the time. Now when Macaulay hears that Sheffield United is going to play, his heart trembles.

However, as one of the few mid-lower teams that were able to draw with Sheffield United last season, the central defender combination of Macaulay and Olsson still made great contributions.

Although neither of them is Li Mo's opponent if they go out alone, there is still some talk about double-teaming Li Mo.

Regardless of the tonnage and height, the two have gained some experience in limiting Li Mo's performance.

So after Lukaku stopped working, West Bromwich Albion focused on defense, but it didn't let Sheffield United score the goal quickly.

Although it was a bit difficult to top, especially after Li Mo pulled out of the penalty area and kept playing the ball to the players on the two wings, West Bromwich Albion didn't have a good way to deal with it.

But when Li Mo entered the penalty area, Macaulay and Olsson's double-team defense played a huge role.

The reporters on the sidelines also became interested at this time.

By restricting Li Mo and interrupting Sheffield United's offensive, this tactic has been tried by many teams last season, but few have succeeded.

West Bromwich Albion's record against Sheffield United last season was one draw and one loss. Although Huo Taigong's tactical arrangement made great contributions in that draw, it now appears that Macaulay and Olsson's performance also made great contributions.

"Could it be that Sheffield United will stumble on West Bromwich Albion?"

As soon as such an idea came out, these reporters couldn't stop fantasizing.

If Sheffield United is tied by West Bromwich Albion, that would be big news!
Although the possibility of such a thing happening is still very small, what if it does happen?
The minds of the reporters from the major media became active.

It is not enough to belittle Sheffield United satirically, but it can create some news topics to attract readers' attention. After all, traffic is the first.

The news that Sheffield United continues to sit firmly at the top of the league is also good, but compared with the upset, it seems not enough.

Speed ​​didn't know what these reporters were thinking at this time, but he was also a little worried.

In addition to creating an opportunity for De Bruyne at the beginning of the game, Li Mo seems to have fallen into the rhythm of non-stop confrontation with his opponent.

Speed ​​didn't know what Li Mo was doing. As far as he knew, Li Mo shouldn't make such a mistake.

But now he can't ask Li Mo in person, so he can only look again.

If the goal of West Bromwich Albion could not be broken in the first half, then Speed ​​might as well let Li Mo feel the taste of the hair dryer.

At this moment, the Sheffield United players on the field still maintain the same trust in Li Mo. If Li Mo wants the ball, no matter the position is good or not, they still try their best to pass it.

Seeing this, Steve Clark heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as Li Mo indulges in the hand-to-hand combat with his own central defender, his tactics will be half successful.

He doesn't expect to win this game, but if Li Mo doesn't perform well, there is still hope for them to get a point.

Only Medel and Vardy, watching Li Mo attacking the opponent's defense again and again in vain, did not feel strange, on the contrary, their eyes were very playful.

The few of them lived together for so long, and usually played some tricks on the training ground, how could they not know what Li Mo was thinking.

Drinkwater and Maguire, who were sitting on the bench off the field, also covered their mouths and didn't know what they were communicating with, but their expressions were very relaxed, and they seemed not worried about the current situation at all.

And after Li Mo flew the football again, he first made a gesture of apology towards Belby who was passing the ball.

Then, under the background of Macaulay and Olsson's high-five celebration, he winked covertly at Vardy who was walking back together, and Vardy nodded calmly.

At this time, the time on the court came to No.208 minutes.

Sheffield United took the absolute initiative on the field, but facing West Bromwich Albion's iron barrel formation, they seemed to have lost their previous ability to attack.

Li Mo performed well today except at the beginning of the game. In the next ten minutes or so, he seemed to be fighting against the central defender of West Bromwich Albion.

In the face of double-teaming, it was a decisive choice to continue to attack the opponent's defense.

In less than half an hour, Li Mo contributed five shots, but only one shot was on target. This kind of data did not match his previous style at all.

In the past, when Li Mo's foot was not going well, he would choose to play more for his teammates, and he still played very threateningly, but today the reasonable Li Mo disappeared and was replaced by a star who seemed stubborn and out of form.

But upholding their trust in Li Mo, the Sheffield United fans still gave Li Mo time and time again cheers and applause.

In the No.30 second minute of the first half, after Dembele cooperated with De Bruyne to steal the ball, Trippier took advantage of the situation and set up on the wing.

West Bromwich Albion hadn't fully shrunk the defense at this time, and it was a pretty good opportunity. Facing the defense of West Bromwich Albion's full-backs, Trippier knocked the ball across to De Bruyne who responded.

Li Mo suddenly raised his right arm high again, and at the same time began to move forward.

Seeing this, De Bruyne passed the ball decisively, even though Li Mo's performance was a little abnormal before.

The arc of the foot pass is very large, and it is also going directly to Li Mo. In West Bromwich Albion's penalty area, a large number of defensive players subconsciously move in the direction of Li Mo.

McCauley also stuck to Li Mo immediately, and Olsson defended him. It seemed that the defense of the two would make Li Mo's attack come to an end without a problem.

But after Li Mo jumped up this time, he chose to rub the ball in the air.

He didn't shake his head to attack the goal!
Macaulay was shocked, and could only subconsciously turn his head to look for the football's landing point.

West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Ben Foster was preparing to save Li Mo's header, but Li Mo's sudden rubbing caught him off guard.

When the ball was touched by Li Mo, one foot suddenly stretched out, and after the shot was completed before the fullback Billy Jones intercepted it, it seemed too late for Ben Foster to get off the ground!
Speed ​​couldn't see very clearly from the sidelines, but Li Mo's movement of rubbing the ball was still caught by his eyes, and then the Sheffield United players rushed to the corner flag area in a restless swarm.

"A goal?!"

Speed ​​stared wide-eyed, he did not see who scored the goal, but there is no doubt that it was Li Mo who assisted.

"Hey, what kind of tricks is this brat playing?"

Speed ​​scratched his hair, surprised and delighted.

But in any case, this will break the deadlock on the field, which is undoubtedly something to be happy about. Speed ​​also clenched his fist and celebrated a little.

"Hey, Li Mo's header kicked back? Did it go in from the back? The goal?! It seems that a player from Sheffield United succeeded in a shot from the back!"

"Valdy? I think. Hey! It's Vardy. I said, apart from Li Mo, in the Sheffield United team, only Vardy's running position has such a rogue. West Bromwich Albion is being cheated." Oh, hey, Li Mo is so sluggish, I think he did it on purpose."

Zhan Jun was still a little surprised, but Zhang Lu made a joke.

And just when the fans in Huaguo thought that Zhang Lu was joking, the live footage was everything, and then Li Mo's little gesture of blinking at Vardy before this attack was put on the big screen.

"Damn it, Director Zhang is amazing, Li Mo is really playing the art of war! West Bromwich Albion is really being played!"

"I, the head coach of Nima West Bromwich Albion, must be pissed to death. Li Mo has been constantly pulling hatred before the relationship. Hey, don't tell me, this trick is really suitable for breaking the bus. The premise is that you You have to have a powerful center like Li Mo, and you have to be able to act!"

"It still has to be Li Mo and Vardy. You can tell what the other party is going to do with just one look. This is a tacit understanding."

The fans were overjoyed, Li Mo's move immediately cheered them up, Zhang Lu also laughed and praised Li Mo's quick brain.

Vardy, who scored his first league goal of the season, threw his fist in excitement, then turned around and hugged Li Mo to express his thanks.

The Sheffield United players gathered around one after another. Medel jumped on Li Mo's back and joked about his previous acting skills. The other players also laughed and patted Li Mo's shoulders and head continuously.

De Bruyne was glad that he passed the ball in time just now, but Bell was surprised by Li Mo's ability to think of a way.

To be honest, breaking the bus is not a big problem for the current Sheffield United. If they attack hard, they can actually take down West Bromwich Albion with a lot of effort.

But now Li Mo has allowed Sheffield United to break the deadlock easily. At best, Li Mo's own physical exertion is relatively high, and the rest of Sheffield United players don't feel tired at all.

Bell also finally understood why the Sheffield United players and Speed ​​would trust Li Mo so much.

"Brother, it is really tiring to be your opponent. Fortunately, we are on the same team now, and it is much more comfortable to be teammates with you."

After hugging and celebrating with Vardy, Bell teased Li Mo again, and the two clapped their hands together.

Li Mo smiled and said nothing. The way to score goals is a good way. This will break West Bromwich Albion's iron barrel formation, and the rest of the game will be easy to play.

Only the players of West Bromwich Albion were very uncomfortable, including their head coach Steve Clarke, who looked like they had eaten flies at the moment, with ugly faces.

The entire defense line was played by Li Mo. Before, he thought that Li Mo had lost his mind and had to compete with Macaulay and Olsson. Now it seems that he has been calculating how to break the game from the very beginning. .

Lukaku was also dumbfounded.

Can the game still play like this?
Such things as brainstorming are not within the scope of Little Warcraft's consideration for the time being.

The reporters on the sidelines looked at each other in blank dismay, and then tacitly tore up the drafts they had written before.

"West Bromwich Albion being teased!"

Well, the title is right~
