Chapter 273 Maguire Envied

With seven goals and one assist in three UEFA Champions League games, he led the first-time UEFA Champions League team to the top of Group B. After the game that night, Li Mo became the center of discussion in European football and even world football again in an instant!

If Ronaldo led Real Madrid to win Dortmund that night, then Li Mo would definitely not be able to steal the Portuguese's limelight.

It's a pity that Ronaldo's Real Madrid lost. Even though he helped Real Madrid equalize the score in the first half of the game, the final loss made his goal seem a bit insignificant.

The data of six goals in three matches of the Champions League allowed Ronaldo to temporarily stabilize Messi, but compared with Li Moyi, this data seems to be somewhat inferior.

Indeed, from the perspective of the opponents, Ronaldo scored goals against European giants. He scored goals against Ajax, Manchester City, Dortmund, and the gold content of the goals was much higher than that of Li Mo. .

However, considering that Li Mo is participating in the UEFA Champions League for the first time, and he also performed consecutive hat-tricks in the first two group matches, this amazing feeling makes most fans more inclined to think that Li Mo is the first in the UEFA Champions League group stage The best striker of the round.

Mendes once again fell into happiness troubles.

He understands Ronaldo's proud temper, and it's not enough to regard Li Mo as a competitor, but he thinks that Li Mo and Ronaldo's plan to co-produce an advertising endorsement has to be shelved for the time being.

This will tell Ronaldo about it, and Ronaldo will definitely refuse first, and he has to take it slowly.

But for Li Mo, Mendes only had a sense of happiness, without any worries at all.

After the UEFA Champions League match that day, Mendes directly sent a congratulatory message to Li Mo, and invited Li Mo to have a meal together in London after the next round of the league.

Of course Li Mo had no objection to this, and after making an appointment, he got into the car with his teammates waiting at the side.

Hao Junmin and the others will also go to the hotel where the Sheffield United players are staying.

After all, it's already past eleven o'clock at night, and it's not easy to arrange to go out for dinner. It's better to go to the hotel to get together and rest in the hotel after dinner.

Vardy wanted to go out and see the nearby nightclubs, but Speed ​​suppressed his idea as soon as he said it.

All the Sheffield United players stayed in the hotel honestly that night. After dinner, Li Mo and Hao Junmin chatted for a while in the lounge, and rushed them to rest early.

After all, they still have training tomorrow afternoon, so they have to get up early in the morning and drive back to the training base. If they rest late, it will definitely affect the quality of their training.

In a few days, everyone will have to go back to China to play the key match of the world preliminaries. They will win against Jordan. There will be plenty of time for celebration and communication, so there is no rush.

The next morning, after bidding farewell to the brothers of the national team, Li Mo also returned to Sheffield with his teammates.

During the rare half-day vacation, Li Mo spent a comfortable time at home as an otaku. Apart from chatting and calling with Krystal, he just stayed in the living room and played computer games.

Maguire and Stones naturally went on a date with their girlfriends again, and Li Mo drove to the training base for dinner. It is true that he does not have the self-consciousness of a football superstar.

The main reason is that Li Mo feels that the small villa he lives in is big enough, so there is no need to hire a helper. Sometimes he wants to be lazy, and Maguire and Maguire are not at home, so naturally there is no one to cook.

Like other football superstars, they basically live in luxury houses. The problems of sanitation and cooking are handled by special personnel, and some even hire exclusive medical personnel and personal trainers, which is more famous than him.

Fortunately, this "lonely old man" state only lasted for half a day. At [-] o'clock the next morning, all Sheffield United players who had no injuries reported to the training base on time.

Li Mo and his brothers started the preparation training in full swing.

And the brothers Maguire and Stones, who ran out on a date yesterday and left him alone at home, were naturally screamed by him.

After the confrontation training in the afternoon, Li Mo was comfortable, but Stones was lying on the turf and had nothing to love. Maguire was in much better condition, but he was still rubbing his pectoralis major and grinning.

Speed ​​is full of praise for Li Mo's good condition, and even has the idea of ​​letting Maguire accompany Li Mo to practice a set of confrontation training.

Maguire seemed to sense the approaching danger. Before Speed ​​could open his mouth, he ran to the team doctor with the excuse that he wanted to check his body fat percentage to see if this indicator had been maintained at the level recently. normal level.

And Stones, who was still lying on the turf and pretending to be dead just now, got up and ran away quietly at some point, making Speed ​​dumbfounded.

Now many young players in the team are good at everything, but every time it comes to arrange confrontation training for Li Mo, these guys run faster than anyone else.

In the end, it was Vertonghen and the old captain Chris Morgan who accompanied Li Mo to complete the additional training.

"You should be 'gentle' to them in the future, or I, the old man, will accompany you to practice every time, and the training effect will be somewhat discounted."

Chris Morgan has recently taken over some of the pre-match analysis work of the coaching staff. He should retire after this season and join Speed's coaching staff.

Without much chance and time to play, the old captain simply acted as one of Li Mo's full-time training partners during training.

But he is getting older after all, so it is no problem to do some static confrontation, but it is difficult to keep up with Li Mo in terms of speed. If you want to say who is the most suitable to accompany Li Mo to practice confrontation, Maguire is of course the first choice at present.

"It's up to you, captain, otherwise Harry will improve. He is now the main central defender of the national team. As you know, he doesn't have much ambition. If you force him from time to time, he may Just be content with the status quo, and you can’t break through yourself if you stay where you are.”

Li Mo said something unexpected to others.

Vertonghen, who was wiping his sweat, suddenly felt envious.

What is a true friend, a true brother?
This is Li Mo.

It's not that people who play around together on weekdays, go out to have fun together, and go out to fool around can be called brothers.

The care behind and sincere encouragement for the other party are the most commendable.

Only a true brother would care about and care about your future career development.

"Harry is lucky. I will help you to drill him hard in the future. This brat is a bit too honest. Don't force him a little bit. He really doesn't know how to seek a breakthrough."

Chris Morgan nodded, agreeing with Li Mo's statement.

Maguire has talent and a smart mind. If he grows up slowly, he may have the opportunity to become one of the top central defenders in the world.

But there are too many uncertain factors in it, and the biggest problem is his character of "unwilling to fight".

In the football world, among the top players in various positions, there are actually very few kind gentlemen who are humble and kind. Players of the type like Messi and Kaka are after all a minority.

More are ambitious people.

Without fighting, not being crazy, not being fierce, how can you defeat one opponent after another and successfully stand in the most shining position?

Maguire has a very calm temperament, especially now that he has been polished by Speeddoga, he has become one of the best lagging central defenders in the Premier League at a young age, which is rare.

But Li Mo didn't want his friend to stop there.

Before, I asked the master to help him formulate a diet and lose weight slowly, because I didn't want him to only perform well in a specific tactical system.

Since one has such a talent, one must naturally climb to the top.

Li Mo has always believed that Maguire can become a better dominant central defender.

He has physical talent, technical skills with his feet, and more brains.

Now his weight remains within the normal range, his turning speed is not slow, and his flexibility and coordination far exceed the average level of a central defender.

There are the conditions that should be there, and the conditions that should not be there are now. Just becoming the main double central defender of Sheffield United and Daiying is enough?
If you Maguire don't fight for the title of the world's number one central defender, you will be sorry for the efforts I, Li Mo, have made in the past few years!

Even if it is only briefly considered by the fans to be the world's number one central defender, for example, for a year or two, that is enough, at least not brilliant.

What Li Mo thinks now is to keep beating Maguire so that he will not always be satisfied with his current level.

We must constantly break through ourselves and accumulate experience. Only in this way can Maguire stand out among central defenders such as Thiago Silva, Ramos, Boateng who are at their peak or are about to reach their peak. Be the one that shines the brightest.

It is difficult, but it is not impossible. At least Sheffield United is very strong now, so there is no need to worry too much about the team's performance. Maguire only needs to show his own highlight performance.

"By the way, the old captain, Yang (Vertonghen), don't tell Maguire about this, or the kid might start thinking about it and affect his current game state. You two just know it. And don't tell anyone else."

Li Mo thought for a while, but still told the two not to tell others about it.

It's not that Li Mo is hypocritical, but that Maguire's character is like this. Li Mo and Maguire have known each other since they were teenagers, and they know the shyness and stubbornness in his temperament.

If Maguire really wants to know this, then he will inevitably put pressure on himself for a period of time. Under heavy pressure, there may be breakthroughs, but he may also crush himself.

Li Mo still thinks it's good to continue to maintain the current rhythm. Anyway, with his relationship with Maguire, sometimes he won't complain if he pushes him a little more, and he won't be burdened psychologically.

Perhaps it would be most appropriate to talk about today's events in a joking tone when both of them have reached the pinnacle of their respective positions.

At that time, a hug is enough to express gratitude, and the relationship between the two is still pure.

"He'd be proud to have a friend like you."

Vertonghen spoke, his tone of exclamation was full of envy.

One such brother in a lifetime is enough.

　Big head, big head, you played really well tonight, but the turning around is still a bit hot.
　　I hope there is nothing serious about my head, this clever brain can't be affected.

　　Also, if you don’t have a chance after the World Cup, hurry up and transfer. You’re not too young. Take advantage of the last few years you can play and go to a team that has a chance to play. I think Chelsea really don’t like it. Come on, come on. right~
