Chapter 248 Hurricane rushes into Sheffield United

Faced with the situation of conceding a goal first, the atmosphere in the West Bromwich Albion team has undergone subtle changes.

The bus is like this, before the goal is broken, no matter how passive they are, no matter how ugly they play, the players can accept it.

But as soon as the door is broken, the mentality is completely different.

Why put the bus? Is it because the strength is far inferior to the opponent? Defense can still rely on numbers, but offense can't play crowd tactics.

Not to mention that Sheffield United's counterattack is one hit and one accurate. If you really dare to press up and attack, then wait to be stabbed by Sheffield United.

Steve Clark feels extremely tangled after losing the ball.

Anger or depression can't solve the problem. Now he is struggling, should he attack?
If you attack, you may be directly beaten to death by Sheffield United, but you may also seek wealth and wealth, but if you don't attack, it will be a slow death.

When Steve Clark was struggling, Speed ​​helped him make a choice.

"Hey, Sheffield United has reverted to the formation. This is a problem for West Bromwich Albion. I let the midfielder out. It's up to you whether you attack or not. Anyway, I can accept a 1-0 lead in the first half. Speed ​​is very confident and dares to give you a chance, as if saying to Clark: If you can break through Sheffield United's defense, then you have the ability."

In the voice of Zhan Jun's commentary, Li Mo and Vardy took back their positions slightly, and the Sheffield United players also put on a defensive posture.

Faced with such a situation, the West Bromwich Albion players who re-kicked off were a little undecided, and they all looked to the sidelines.

After hesitating for a moment, Steve Clark finally made a decision.

Press it out first, try it out in the last ten minutes of the first half, if it doesn't work, adjust it in the middle of the game!
This is exactly what Speed ​​wants to see.

In fact, after scoring a goal, Sheffield United can also continue to play against West Bromwich Albion, but such tactics are not cost-effective.

Four days later, Sheffield United will usher in the first game of the League Cup this season. At present, many rotation players on the field will basically start the League Cup game four days later.

In order to save some energy consumption, Speed ​​decided that it was the most cost-effective to fight back.

Li Mo and Bell can rest for a week after the game, so it's okay to work hard, as long as the players in the center and backcourt do a good job of defense.

After West Bromwich Albion came out to attack, Medel and Dembele became the busiest players on the field.

De Bruyne and Vardy also retreated to help defend. Only Bell and Li Mo, one on the wing and one at the front, were always ready to catch the ball and fight back.

In the past, Li Mo and Vardy were at the forefront, but now with Bell, Vardy can retreat to the midfield to assist in defense.

Facing Sheffield United's strangling tactics in the midfield and backcourt, West Bromwich Albion's offense developed relatively slowly.

However, Lukaku will settle down and stay in the middle honestly, but his strong physical fitness plays a certain role as a fulcrum.

In addition to the fact that the header is still so unreliable, Little Monster's foot ball is actually good, and his backing ability is not enough, but relying on mobility, it is still no problem to distribute the ball to his teammates.

If Vertonghen and Maguire are replaced, it will definitely make Lukaku feel uncomfortable, let alone divide the ball, and Lukaku will not even think about turning around the moment he takes the ball.

But it was Stones who interfered with Lukaku in this game. Stones, who is not yet 19 years old, has no good way to take Lukaku, but to interfere as much as possible.

Under the command of Chris Morgan, Stones, like Maguire before him, has grown rapidly in the game.

And his speed is very fast, even if he can't interfere with Lukaku's scoring, it can limit Lukaku's breakthrough and prevent Lukaku from getting space to start.

Compared with Maguire, who performed amazingly last season, Stones can be said to be slightly inferior, but among the central defenders of the same age, Stones' performance is fully worthy of his genius title.

After all, there are only a small number of defenders who play in the Premier League. That is to say, if Speed ​​dares to give the opportunity to play in other clubs, Stones may still be in the youth training camp.

The reporters with English are also very concerned about Stones' performance.

After Maguire, Drinkwater, Trippier and Bertrand, Sheffield United seems to have cultivated another star of hope with an English backcourt.

In this era when the backcourts of the British and Chinese teams are not enough, the young English players trained by Sheffield United have greatly eased the talent panic of the British national team.

Huo Taigong is now full of praise for Maguire and Drinkwater, and recently there have been many news about the coaching staff of the British national team inspecting Trippier and Bertrand.

Maybe in a few months, all positions in the British defense line will basically be taken up by Sheffield United players.

Imagine left back Bertrand, center back Maguire, right back Trippier, plus a backcourt core Drinkwater.

If a few years later, Stones grows smoothly and is also selected for the British national team
Guigui, among other things, at least the FA has to give Sheffield United a knock.

Fortunately, Bell is from Wales. If Bell chooses to join the British national team, then Sheffield United will be too awesome.

A club can train four or five international players for its national team, and they are all the main starters. In the football world, only the two clubs of the Western Super League and Bayern Munich can do it.

While the reporters were thinking about it, the West Bromwich Albion fans on the sidelines kept exclaiming, which made them wake up.

"So fast! Medel's long pass did not go out of bounds, Bale got the ball!"

The commentator of Sky Sports felt that the hairs on his body were standing on end. It was so exciting to watch Sheffield United's counterattack!
After Dembele steals the ball, it is directly distributed to Medel, who came over, but Medel is more direct, passing the ball to the left with one kick.

Bell almost completed the forward thrust close to West Bromwich Albion's defensive players, and after rushing up, West Bromwich Albion's midfielder was quickly pulled away by Bell at least three or four positions!

Li Mo and De Bruyne on the right also started to advance almost immediately. Bale took the lead, and Li Mo's speed was not slow, and soon passed the West Bromwich Albion defender Orr who was chasing back. loose.

It was supposed to be a three-on-four situation in the frontcourt, but Bell and Li Mo broke up West Bromwich Albion's defense line in a daze, and abruptly rushed behind the West Bromwich Albion defenders!

"Good opportunity! Li Mo and Bell rushed out, Bell's cross!!!"

In Zhan Jun's excited and angry commentary, Bell sent a rolling pass against the turf from the left, and Macaulay, who was chasing back, directly shoveled down, wanting to touch the football and change the trajectory of the football.

But even if he tried his best, he couldn't even touch the side of the football in the end.

Ben Foster didn't dare to attack. The pass was very fast. He wasn't sure that he could successfully intercept it 100%, so he could only stay in the penalty area nervously. At the same time, he hoped that Olsson could chase back faster and interfere as much as possible. Li Mo at the last point.

But Li Mo didn't give West Bromwich Albion a few defensive players a chance at all.

Facing the fast rolling football, Li Mo kicked decisively and hit the bottom of the near corner of the goal!
Ben Foster didn't expect Li Mo to be so courageous, it's too late to go to the ground to save at this time!
"Good goal! Goal scored again, Li Mo!!! Bell passed well, and Li Mo played decisively! No.401 minutes of the first half, Sheffield United made another victory, West Bromwich Albion, the distance is high How long does it take to lose a goal? Didn't withstand the pressure!"

"How many times is this the first time? The connection between Bell and Lee, they are natural counter-attack masters! West Bromwich Albion has become the ghost of this pair of Sheffield United's new offensive combination, but they don't have to be too much about it. Annoyed, because before them, several teams have been scored in this way, a wonderful counterattack, Sheffield United fans can start cheering!"

After Li Mo scored the goal, he clenched his fist and gave a low shout, then smiled and pointed to Bell. The two hugged each other near the bottom line, followed by other Sheffield United players swarming up.

2-0, the Sheffield United fans at the scene were completely relieved, celebrating and cheering to their heart's content, and Speed ​​on the sidelines also raised his arms high and roared to the sky.

With such a lead at halftime, all that remains is to defend well and see if we can score another goal and kill the game completely.

After Li Mo and his teammates celebrated, they still told everyone not to underestimate the enemy and continue to defend West Bromwich Albion. Now they can try to control the rhythm while defending, and wait until the intermission.

The players of West Bromwich Albion were very helpless, and Steve Clark also knew that this game had almost no chance.

This is the tactic of fighting for a fight. Either one's own side will regain the disadvantage, or it will be another sap from the opponent. Unfortunately, West Bromwich Albion really has nothing to do with Sheffield United's counterattack.

The two big central defenders are very effective in restricting high center forwards and playing positional warfare, but it is difficult to deal with the opponent's quick counterattack.

The two teams chose to slow down the pace very tacitly.

However, after the intermission, Sheffield United played more and more easily, while West Bromwich Albion completely lost the initiative in the game amidst hesitation.

Steve Clark still thought of ways, such as trying to play a set-piece tactic, but when Speed ​​replaced Stones with Maguire, Clark's tactic was declared bankrupt.

Speed ​​really didn't give it a chance.

After seven to 10 minutes in the second half, Speed ​​replaced Bell and Li Mo with Matt Ridge and Berbatov, and continued to deter West Bromwich Albion on the offensive end.

After Li Mo left the field, he took out his thermos and chatted with Bell very leisurely on the bench.

Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were also very curious, and they both wanted to know what kind of drink was in Li Mo's thermos.

At this point in the game, there was no suspense. The fans all focused on Li Mo and Bell. The commentator of Sky Sports also showed the data that had been prepared long ago.

"Lee's statistics in the first five rounds of the league are eight goals and three assists, while Bell's is two goals and four assists. Currently, Lee tops the scorer list and Bell temporarily ranks second in assists. The statistics have surpassed those of last season, and Sheffield United's league goals in five games are all related to the two of them! The offensive combination of the two is the best in the Premier League!"

So far, Sheffield United has scored twelve goals in the league, and all of these goals are related to the offensive combination of Li Mo + Bell. This kind of firepower and contribution has amazed countless Premier League fans.

However, the Sheffield United players on the field seemed to want to change this situation. In the No.804 minute of the second half, they played another wave of offensive. In the end, Berbatov, who had just played, completed the grab in front of the goal. Trippier also scored his first assist of the new season.

3-0, a complete victory, Sheffield United made a good start in the Champions League, returned to the league, and continued to maintain their dominance.

Such a result made the Manchester United players who were chasing behind feel great pressure.

After the game, Steve Clark also bluntly said that even after a large-scale rotation, the strength of Sheffield United still suppresses West Bromwich Albion.

"They are already a champion team. Apart from having no championship, I think Sheffield United is already in that position. Manchester United will not be their hindrance. I believe Sheffield United will win the Premier League this season."

Steve Clarke's strange lick made Sheffield United the focus of the entire Premier League in an instant.

But for him, this is also good, at least there is no media to trouble him.

The reporters caught Speed ​​frantically asking questions, and Li Mo and Bell also failed to escape.

There is no way, the two can only blow each other's business.

However, after winning the game, the two of them were also in a very good mood, and they seemed to be much more patient than usual in interviews with reporters.

It is a pity that Manchester United withstood the pressure the next day and won the old rival Liverpool 3-1 at Anfield. They were still hanging tightly behind Sheffield United, which made the Sheffield United players shouted a pity.

Originally they thought that Liverpool could cause some trouble for Manchester United at home, but they didn't expect that Liverpool seemed to have lost their magic at home this season, and they were struggling to play against Manchester United.

Manchester City was another step behind and drew 1-1 with Arsenal.

It seems that the defeat in the Champions League has not slowed down Manchester City's generals. This year they may really fall out of the championship queue.

Arsenal, it’s not the end of the league yet, let’s see when we win the top four. Arsenal at the beginning of the league is deceptive, just have fun watching the record during this period.

After this round of the league ended, the League Cup also came to the third round, and the Premier League teams joined the competition for the League Cup.

If the bench is not thick enough, the second team may be sent to play with a few main players. If the bench is thick enough, they will play in the League Cup in normal rotation.

Sheffield United belongs to the latter.

On the evening of September 9, Sheffield United's rotation went south to London to challenge their old acquaintance Queen's Park Rangers away.

Facing the Rangers who are currently mired in relegation and have no intention of playing in the League Cup, Speed ​​did not make any moves, and set up a stable [-] rotation lineup.

Dirk Dirk and Berbatov partnered to start as a double forward, with De Bruyne on the left and Trippier on the right. Today Medel is the right back.

The double midfielders are Montgomery and Moussa Dembele, and the players in other positions are the same as when they played West Bromwich Albion.

It is worth mentioning that Sommer performed very well against West Bromwich Albion, and his several saves were very impressive. Under Shay's suggestion, Speed ​​is also considering letting Sommer start in the league. Let Shay play again in the cup.

The League Cup and the FA Cup can keep Shay in shape. In the league, Shay can also start occasionally to find his feeling, and rely on Shay's experience in the Champions League.

After all, what Ji Wen said is also reasonable. After this season, he himself does not know whether he will still be in this state next season. It is time to try to help Sommer.

In the end, Sheffield United defeated Queens Park Rangers 2-0 and broke into the fourth round of the League Cup.

With goals from Dirk Dirk and De Bruyne, Sheffield United also ushered in a good start on the third front.

At this time, more and more fans finally realized that Sheffield United's ambitions were greater than what they showed.

Moreover, without the restriction of the thickness of the bench, this Sheffield United team finally ushered in a season of hurricanes!
