opening a balotelli

Chapter 259
The entire Asian sports media focused on the Hua Guo team, the only team that had won all four games after the first round of the Top Ten.

The Iran and South Korea teams in Group A both have two wins, one draw and one loss. Like the Japanese team, the results are expected, and there are occasional overturns.

Compared with the Huaguo team, which won all four games, these three strong Asian teams are not enough.

Of course, there is no sentiment of underestimating the enemy within the Hua Guo team, after all, the family knows their own affairs.

Except that Li Mo has always played very well and successfully supported the Hua Guo team on the offensive end, the Japanese team and the Australian team have many problems, especially the Australian team. The conflict within the team was eliminated, and the Huaguo team succeeded in picking up the leak.

But the football foundations of the two countries are very solid. It only takes one or two years to survive this period of transition between new and old players. After all, Japan and Australia can still recover their strength as soon as possible.

But the outside fans don't care about the conflicts in the team, the lineup changes, and the injuries of the main players. They only know that the Huaguo team has played against Japan and Australia, and has accumulated [-] points in four games. , will soon qualify for the qualifying round.

This is awesome!

The Huaguo team is awesome, and Li Mo is even more awesome.

Playing against weak teams is stable, and playing against strong teams is even more impressive. Of course, this strong team refers to Asia. Compared with those teams that Li Mo faced in the Premier League, the "strong teams" in Asia are not that strong. up.

But no matter what, Li Mo dragged the Hua Guo team to successfully touch the threshold of the World Cup, and he was only one step away from getting a ticket to Brazil.

From this point of view, all major sports media in Asia were shocked.

Previously, Li Mo helped the Hua Guo team break through the top [-]. They were facing Jordan and Iraq. With the Hua Guo team's lineup at that time, it was not surprising that they won.

But now Li Mo has dragged the Hua Guo team to overthrow the Japanese team and the Australian team one after another, which proves that superstars play a huge role in improving a team's strength in this acre of three-point land in Asia.

Of course, the premise is that this team is not a third- or fourth-tier team. If Li Mo is a third-rate or an Indonesian, then no matter how good he is, he will not be able to hold back other teammates.

The Huaguo team was barely at the second-tier level in Asia before. After many players in the team landed in the German league one after another, they can be regarded as touching the buttocks of the first-class team, that is, the strength of the top eight in Asia.

If there is no Li Mo, the current Hua Guo team should also be able to compete for the second place in Group B, provided that the Australian team continues to maintain this half-dead state.

If the Australian team adjusts their status later, then the Hua Guo team will have a [-]-[-] chance of facing the kangaroos head-on.

But the current Huaguo team plus a Li Mo directly dominates Group B, and it may be a proper first place in the group if it is changed to Group A. The abuse of food is as stable as an old dog. Mo's defense is not in vain against any country, and it is really a trick that is eaten all over the world.

From the end of the first class in Asia to the top actual combat level in Asia, there is only one Li Mo in the middle.

The media in other countries have begun to discuss whether such a football development route is the most suitable for the Asian division.

Some players trained in the domestic league + some players working hard in the European league + a small number or a top-notch talented player.

At least the Hua Guo team is currently such a template, and everyone has seen the results achieved. It's hard not to be tempted.

However, while these sports media were still hypothetical and discussing, a certain country in West Asia was shining.

Instead of making such trouble, wouldn't it be more effective to go to other countries in the Arab world to dig talented players?

The planning is over, and money is not a problem, they are short of everything, but they are not short of money!
So a certain Tal Football Association looked at its team's performance in the top ten matches and made up its mind.

I have to talk to the father of the funder in China about the planning.

The big Paris bought it, and Ibrahimovic also bought it. The money was [-] million euros and [-] million euros. In comparison, the money spent on digging geniuses from other countries is a hair on a cow. .

Probably not even worth a hair!
The Huaguo national team does not know how many countries their top ten results have stimulated.

After the celebration banquet was held at the hotel on the night of the 16th, at noon on the 17th, Li Mo still paid for all the members of the national team and many leaders in the Huaguo football circle in Shanghai.

Not just the players, but the coaching team.

All the staff who have been busy before and after the world preliminaries, as well as the seniors who have been cheering for the national team and are quite famous in the industry, all have a role.

This was arranged by Li Mo's uncle Li Lijun. Li Mo didn't understand this. He originally planned to invite his teammates and coaches to dinner, but after hearing Li Mo's arrangement, Li Lijun smiled and said that he would come. arrange.

There are too many aspects involved in this world preliminaries. Seeing that success is imminent, it is natural to get in touch with professionals from all sides.

It's not that the Huaguo football circle is full of keyboard warriors who don't do anything, and it's not that everyone is just rubbish who can only do a few plans, is full of brains and doesn't understand anything, and wants to meddle in everything.

In fact, from before to now, and even in the future, there are many people who do practical things in Huaguo football.

In the past, the older generation of players who came out of the national team, those who engaged in youth training, and those who studied abroad, although they are not well-known, they are all hard-working doers.

Although it is said that the root is crooked and it is almost impossible to reverse it by manpower, these people are still doing their part. Even though they know that nothing can be changed in the end, they have no complaints or regrets.

General Fan, Xie Hui, Director Xu, He Wei, Director Zhang
When people in the industry walked into the banquet hall one after another and gathered together to discuss the current situation of football in Huaguo happily, Li Mo also understood his uncle's intentions.

It was true that he didn't think carefully before, and taking advantage of this opportunity, he also met many football seniors who he had only heard of before.

General Fan was a man of temperament, he took Li Mo's hand and vomited his words that day, and he didn't let Li Mo drink, but he got drunk himself.

How wronged and uncomfortable those people who wanted to do something for Huaguo football in China used to be, how happy they are today.

Many players who participated in the World Cup in 02 bluntly said that they still felt like they were dreaming when they were drunk.

After experiencing the qualifiers for the World Cup in 06 and 10, they were very disappointed. Many people even thought that they would never see the national team break into the World Cup again in this life.

But unexpectedly, in just over a year, Li Mo dragged the new Hua Guo team to where they are today, which really made them feel gratified and happy.

"If there is a chance in the future, I will go to England or Germany to study. Xiao Li, you should help me introduce you to your club. It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you can learn something."

Xie Hui, who was drunk, held Li Mo's shoulders, muttering with bright eyes.

This old handsome guy who once worked hard in the German Second Division and now leads the youth training echelon in Shanghai, actually always wanted to travel and study in Europe again.

He is relatively indifferent to fame and fortune, and he is straightforward, without so many twists and turns. When he is happy, he pulls Li Mo to express his inner thoughts.

Li Mo has a good impression of Xie Hui, not to mention his past football performances, but Xie Hui's achievements after becoming a coach alone are worthy of Li Mo's support.

But it's a little inconvenient to talk about business now. The two exchanged contact information and made an appointment to talk in detail when they have time.

Because he had to fly back to Sheffield in the afternoon, Li Mo had to get up and leave after chatting with these seniors until after two o'clock in the afternoon.

The third brother, Hao Junmin, and the others had to fly back to Germany to prepare for the league, and they happened to make an appointment to go together.

With the blessings of countless people, Li Mo and the others went to the airport in a low-key manner. It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon when the fans learned about it.

"Thank you for your hard work, keep going, all the players of the national team, come on, our Overseas Legion!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Li, see you next month!"

"Take care of your body, come on!"

Many fans ran to the official Weibo account of the national team and left messages under Li Mo's scarf.

Next month against Jordan, it will still be a home game, and as long as they win another game, the Hua Guo team will reproduce the big scene of national celebrations in the past.

Ten years of waiting, ten years of suffering.

All grievances, all pain, may be completely released after next month's game.

All Huaguo fans sent blessings to the players of the national team and looked forward to November 11th with anticipation.

At that time, a battle will determine the world!
※※※

It was another torturous flight journey. When we returned to Sheffield, it was already early morning in Huaguo, but it was still around seven o'clock in the evening in the UK.

Maguire made a light meal for Li Mo in advance, knowing that he could not eat after sitting on the plane for more than ten hours.

Li Mo washed the dirty clothes in his bag, took a comfortable hot shower, and then pulled himself together and ate the dinner prepared by Maguire.

In fact, he can report to the club tomorrow afternoon, and start training the day after tomorrow, but the league and the Champions League are coming soon, Li Mo does not want to delay the team's joint training at this time, so he decided to meet with Maguire tomorrow morning And Stones went to the club for normal training.

Anyway, there is the halo of the iron man, but it will take a little longer. After getting enough sleep at night, his physical fitness will not be greatly affected.

However, the way he is trying to cheer up now has touched Stones a lot.

Maguire is okay, he is used to it, but Stones is still surprised by Li Mo's "ruthlessness". He thinks Li Mo is too strict with himself.

For the dead child, this kind of professionalism is simply incredible, and unconsciously, it has had a great influence on him.

Finally, when it was nine o'clock in the evening in England time, Li Mo told Maguire and Stones to go to bed earlier, and then went back to the room and lay down on the bed.

Tiredness made the upper and lower eyelids fight uncontrollably, so Li Mo went to sleep sullenly, and worked until eight o'clock in the morning the next day.

After sleeping for a full eleven hours, after waking up, Li Mo only felt extremely refreshed from soul to body, which is called transparency!
In this round of the world preliminaries against Poland, Maguire was not called up, so he was equivalent to resting at home for more than a week.

However, it is not that the old coach Hodgson thinks that Maguire still needs to be investigated, but that he wants Maguire to rest more when he has enough points in his hand, and then try several other central defenders to pick the one who is most suitable. The central defender who partnered with Maguire came.

Terry was suspected of racially discriminating against Ferdinand in the third round of the Premier League this season. He is currently caught in a storm of public opinion and basically missed the national team this year.

So Maguire directly occupied the main position of a British national team.

There is no way, Terry can't play, Maguire is currently the best deep-back and heavy central defender in Daiying, it can only be said that the big head is also a good time to pick up.

However, Drinkwater and Trippier only played the world preliminaries against Poland yesterday, and they will definitely not be able to train today, and they will report to the club tomorrow.

For Speed, this is undoubtedly a somewhat difficult question.

Both the core midfielder and the main right back need time to rest. Dembele and Medel, who can replace them, have just finished the World Cup preliminaries. Medel still flew back from South America and is in a worrying state.

Therefore, sometimes a strong team is not a very good thing, especially when there are many international players in the team.

The main players are the main players of the national team, and the players who rotate are basically the main players of the national team. Once they return from the national team game, the players will not be able to breathe if they don't rest for a day or two.

Fortunately, Li Mo and Maguire came to the club early in the morning to have breakfast in good spirits, and there was a Stones in good condition, which made the mentally exhausted Speed ​​feel extremely gratified.

The league on the 20th will definitely have a substantial rotation. At this time, Li Mo and Maguire are the key figures for the team.

As long as the two boys are in good condition, Speed ​​thinks they can still fight.

That is, the opponent in the eighth round of the league is Liverpool, which is in desperate need of points, or Liverpool's home court.

No matter how weak Liverpool's performance this season is, they are a team that may explode at any time at Anfield. Speed ​​did not dare to underestimate the enemy. On the 17th, all the players who returned to the team first had a medical examination.

The result of the inspection is naturally that most of the players need to take a rest, but starting tomorrow, they will be able to carry out recovery training.

There is also good news, that is, apart from Li Mo and Maguire who are still alive and well, the rest of the players have no risk of injury.

Including Medel, who came back from South America, after coming over for a physical examination in the afternoon, the suggestion of the team doctor was to take another day off.

This made Speed ​​feel relieved.

As long as there are no injuries, Sheffield United will still be able to send out a full main lineup for the Champions League match against Olympiacos on the 25th.

The second group match of the UEFA Champions League is very important. If they win Olympiacos, they will play against Schalke 04 in the third round. Sheffield United will not have much pressure to play.

Even if there is an accident when playing the miners, they lose and hold six points, Sheffield United still has the initiative to qualify.

I'm afraid that there will be problems in the second round against Olympiacos. After all, the opponent's Champions League experience is much richer than that of Sheffield United, which is not comparable to a new Champions League team like Montpellier.

Purely looking at the overall strength of the team, then Sheffield United is not afraid of anyone in this group, but experience is indeed a shortcoming of Sheffield United.

Speed ​​has no good way to do this, he can only study his opponent more, and then try to make as few mistakes as possible on his own side, and do a good job of preparation before the game.

Bell also reported to the club on the afternoon of the 17th, but he felt a deep sense of fatigue.

Not physically exhausted, but mentally exhausted.

Wales has already been out of the game early, and it is difficult to qualify for the second play-off in the group.

Although Bell has gotten used to it over the years, he still feels very uncomfortable. Even if he tried his best to greet his teammates, the smile on the surface could not conceal the bitterness in his heart.

Seeing the unconcealable look of loneliness in Bell's eyes, Li Mo couldn't help but rejoice that he was playing in the Asian preliminaries.

The boundaries of Europe are outrageous. There are nine groups in the world preliminaries, and each group basically has six teams. Look at the Group A where Wales is. The current top four are:
Belgium, Croatia, Serbia and Scotland.

Only the first in the group can advance, and the second in the group has to play the play-offs. Currently, Croatia is fighting for the second place in the play-offs with Serbia. As for Wales, which is ranked fifth, it can only be regarded as cannon fodder.

If Huaguo played in the European preliminaries, then Li Mo might suffer even more than Bell.

Li Mo can understand Bell's depressed mood, but he can't appease him. He can only let Bell go back at night and have a good rest, so as to adjust his state as soon as possible.

The world preliminaries have come to an end, and there are some joys and sorrows in the Sheffield United team, but everyone is a professional player, and the Champions League is coming, and they will not bring the loss of the national team to the club's game.

After all, the World Cup is very important, but so is the Champions League.

After Matic and Bell rested for another day, they regrouped on the 18th and started recovery training.

On the 19th, after watching the joint practice in the afternoon, Speed ​​and the coaching team quickly selected the starting roster for the 20th league.

At the same time, the Premier League teams are also actively adjusting their status, preparing to usher in the eighth round of the Premier League.

After the international break, many mid- and lower-level teams in the Premier League can seize the opportunity to score points. The reason is that the leading teams are deeply affected by the FIFA virus, and major players may also perform abnormally.

Sheffield United is okay here, at least there are enough players in the rotation, and the core players are also in good condition and can guarantee playing time.

Manchester City heard that both Aguero and Dzeko were injured and had to use Tevez again. Arsenal also faced the problem of Podolski's injury.

The news released by Manchester United is that Van Persie is undergoing further examinations. The player seems to feel a little uncomfortable in the calf. It has not yet said whether there is any injury.

In contrast, Sheffield United's situation is really the best among the strong teams.

After a rest, on the evening of the 19th, Sheffield United still checked into a local hotel in Liverpool ahead of schedule.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the morning of the 20th, the players of Sheffield United got up one after another and began to make the final preparations before the game.

After the pre-game meal, the team meeting followed.

Because the Champions League will be played on the 25th, Speed ​​did not insist on winning today's game.

After all, it's an away game, and it's playing at Anfield, so the coaching team has only one requirement, be steady.

Steady control of the midfield, and then the players pay attention not to get injured, pass the ball to Li Murduo when there is an opportunity, of course it is best to win, it doesn't matter if you can't win, one point is acceptable.

Under such tactical guidance, the Sheffield United players are still in a relatively relaxed mood.

Li Mo even took everyone in his room to watch the current round of focus battles between Tottenham and Chelsea.

As the morning game of the eighth round of the Premier League and a rare strong dialogue in this round of the league, the match between Tottenham and Chelsea naturally attracted the attention of many media and fans.

The final score of 4-3 also made the fans hooked!

Uncle Mata broke out, two shots and one pass, leading Chelsea to win the focus battle.

In the afternoon, as the Sheffield United bus drove out of the hotel, the media turned their attention to Anfield again.

The duel between Sheffield United and Liverpool is about to begin.

　I went to bed early last night, and woke up early today, and my body is still good. I just drank a cup of 999 and slept all night. I coded at home for almost two hours in the morning, and I can update a chapter at noon today. ,hey-hey.
