Chapter 281 Reaching the quarterfinals is a success
In the history of the Champions League, there has never been such a crazy individual performance in the first season. Even in the past many seasons, eight goals in the Champions League have been enough to make Li Mo the Champions League top scorer in a single season.

Four Champions League group matches, eight goals and one assist, in the face of this data, Melo can only avoid the edge for the time being!

Many fans of Li Mo have already started to celebrate by kneeling in their own living room.

Now they only blame themselves for their lack of words, and they don't know how to brag about Li Mo's performance.

The main reason is that Li Mo is too low-key at ordinary times. On the court, publicity belongs to publicity. When he is out of the court, Li Mo is an otaku. He is also like Speed ​​in interviews. He always says that he and the team still need to work hard to make his crowd The fans also followed the Buddha.

But no matter how Buddhist, the football world speaks on strength, they don't brag, other fans help to praise Li Mo, and all major sports forums are full of praise.

After all, the real data is here. Li Mo's current performance is indeed unprecedented in football, and it is useless to belittle it.

The Sheffield United fans at the Bramall Lane Stadium paid homage to the young king again. Li Mo, who was hugged by Vardy for celebration, was unwilling to let go. Other Sheffield United players also gathered around at this time. Very excited to pat Li Mo's head.

Speed ​​proudly put his hands on his hips, looking at Li Mo with endless pride in his eyes.

On the other side, Schalke 04 coach Stevens was very irritable and depressed. He paced around the sidelines, bowed his head and cursed a few words out of anger.

It's not that he didn't make a good tactical plan before the game, but Li Mo passed two midfielders!

The big center played with skills, passed two defensive players, cut inside and scored the goal. This fucking is like being in a science fiction movie!

There is no way out. In the last game, Li Mo played with his skills and sent out a wonderful assist. This time he played like this again. Not to mention the players on the field, Stevens himself felt a sense of powerlessness.

But the game has to go on, and it is impossible for Schalke 04 to surrender now, and they still have to continue to find ways to survive.

However, when the game restarted, the commentators quickly discovered that Schalke 04 did not have the choice to press out to try to equalize. Instead, after the trial failed, they chose to stabilize the situation first.

This surprised the Sheffield United players who were ready to let their opponents pass halftime and wait for an opportunity to defend against counterattacks.

But as the old saying goes, don't worry.

You are not in a hurry for Schalke 04, what is the rush for Sheffield United, who is fully dominant?
Sheffield United, which beat Everton in the last league game, changed their style again in this Champions League game, highlighting a word of stability.

Li Mo's sudden outburst has helped Sheffield United gain a one-goal lead, and Drinkwater simply led his teammates to wear down Schalke 04's temper.

Anyway, if you want to score points, you have to attack. You have to attack early and late. What you hit is your big push. The Sheffield United players are too familiar with this.

The Schalke 04 players felt more and more aggrieved the more they played.

Sheffield United knew that they would attack sooner or later, and they themselves knew that they would have to attack sooner or later, but there was nothing they could do with Sheffield United's counterattack.

It's like the way you know there is a big hole ahead, but you can't go around, you have to jump in first and then try to climb out, it's so uncomfortable.

The commentators from various countries have different moods at this time. Some are trying to find a way for Schalke 04, and some are praising Sheffield United for their sound tactics. On the Huaguo side, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu almost couldn't hold back their laughter.

The two of them must support Sheffield United. At this moment, seeing Speed ​​and the Sheffield United players on the field play tricks again, leaving Schalke 04 in a dilemma, I was already happy.

It's just that due to the status of the commentator, it is necessary to maintain a certain degree of neutrality at this time, at least on the surface, it is necessary to say some polite words, but the smiles in the two people's words cannot be hidden.

In the rest of the first half, the Schalke 04 players finally chose to slow down and did not launch a general attack. Naturally, Sheffield United was happy and let Bell and Li Mo try to attack the Schalke team again. Erke 04's defense line, after no results, did not try again.

In the second half, Speed ​​didn't leave any ink marks, and directly made a substitution. Before the game restarted, he replaced Joaquin with Medel, which strengthened his ability to cover and intercept in the midfield.

Such a change of tactics is to tell Schalke 04 clearly:

Today my buddy is satisfied with scoring a goal, and he will play a defensive counterattack later. If you don’t make any mistakes, everyone will end the game 1-0.Last season's steals leader in the Premier League, plus the three fast forwards in front, no good fruit for you!

Stevens was so angry that his face turned green, but Speed ​​Ming had the confidence in him. Speed ​​dared to bet that Schalke 04's offense would not be able to penetrate Sheffield United's defense, but Stevens But he didn't dare to gamble.

If Huntelaar is still in the form of last season, Stevens is willing to stud and fight Sheffield United.

But this season, Huntelaar seems to have withdrawn from the extraordinary state of last season, and has retreated to the level of a top center in the Bundesliga, not even the top of the Bundesliga.

There is no guarantee of scoring, and Farfan is a neurotic knife. Stevens can only endure this tone and keep telling himself not to be fooled by Speed.

From this point of view, Stevens is indeed a coach with two brushes. At least he can restrain his emotions. Starting from the actual situation of the team, the tactical adjustments he made are also in line with the development of the situation on the field.

But the players on the Schalke 04 field couldn't bear it anymore.

The main point is Farfan. Skilled players will have a bit of arrogance.

However, some technical players regard this arrogance as a motivation to continuously encourage themselves to become stronger, while others let this arrogance dominate their emotions and use it as an excuse to keep making mistakes.

Farfan obviously does not belong to the former, otherwise he would not have been stuck on the threshold of a first-class winger and would not be favored by wealthy teams.

Farfan, who had committed an old problem, began to continuously attack Sheffield United's wing defense when he got the ball.

But at the moment Schalke 04's tactical thinking is to wait patiently for an opportunity. What he did broke the unity of the team's thinking.

Some players want to make more attempts with Farfan and don't want to "slowly die", such as Huntelaar and Holtby.

The main reason is that they are used to opening and closing in the Bundesliga. They have no problem playing hedging attacks with Premier League players, but Sheffield United constantly divides the space on the pitch and does not give them opportunities to attack quickly. I feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing Farfan's impulsive move, Stevens on the sidelines was really angry, rushed to the sidelines and kept roaring.

But the Schalke 04 players who have been coerced and started to press forward can't stop at this moment.

To be more precise, Holtby, the core midfielder of the team, is unwilling to control the field and defend, and Neustadt, who is in the midfielder position, is also more willing to devote more energy to offense. The two have a tacit understanding It accelerated the operation of the team and conflicted with the head coach's ideas.

"I don't know if it's because Coach Stevens has made new adjustments on the sidelines. Schalke 04 has obviously started to speed up. Maybe they think the time has come. Let's take a look at their attack first. "

Zhan Jun was very clever and took the changes that happened on the field, but the fans could see clearly that Stevens was already furious standing on the sidelines. If the assistant coach hadn't dragged him back in time, The old coach may have to go on the court to catch the "inner ghost" himself.

Li Mo looked dumbfounded on the court, but he never thought that one day he would see the conflict between the players and the coach on the court.

Although there were many such cases in the past, Li Mo heard more about them. For example, the head coach and players in the locker room of a certain team quarreled.

For example, at Chelsea last season, most of the conflicts between Villas-Boas and several veterans happened in private, but the specific situation is not clear to the outside world, most of them are rumors, including the news about Abramovich reprimanding veteran players, I don’t know Is it true or false.

It's rare for something like this to happen on the field.

If in Sheffield United, any player who dares to openly resist and refuse to accept the tactical instructions and adjustments made by Speed, then this player will definitely be replaced after staying on the court for less than 3 minutes and will never get a chance to play again.

If you have grievances in private, you can close the door in the locker room to resolve them, but if you let the whole world see them on the court, that is absolutely unforgivable.

Of course, the head coach can't make small moves behind his back to get in the way. He can say what he wants, and face to face a head coach with one set of behind the other, regardless of the level of coaching, it is definitely not liked by the players.

Li Mo didn't know that Stevens was upright, and he didn't care much about the jokes made by the Schalke 04 players at the moment. After a brief shock, Li Mo quickly reacted.

He realized that this was a good opportunity to seal the victory.

Not only him, but many other Sheffield United players have reacted.

Drinkwater looked to the sidelines, and the old handsome Speed ​​had stood up at this moment, nodding at him.

Drinkwater instantly understood what Speed ​​meant.

"Take the ball, press forward, press forward!"

As soon as the order was issued, from front to back, in less than a minute, the Sheffield United team unified their thinking.

Other fans may be puzzled when they see Sheffield United go head-to-head and compete fiercely with Schalke 04's former pressers.

At this time, wouldn't it be more labor-saving to wait for Schalke 04 to mess up and fight back after getting discouraged?
But the real Sheffield United fans have already cheered frantically to their own players on the field, shouting and cheering hard.

This is Sheffield United!

When you see an opportunity, execute tactics decisively and go forward bravely, regardless of whether the opponent team is defending or attacking at this time.

I avoid him?
Get the knife!

As soon as the strangulation tactic was started, Sheffield United's midfield suddenly became a ruthless meat grinding machine.

Matic and Medel started their performances, and Vardy and Bell, who retreated, also tried their best to run in the midfield to interfere with Schalke 04's players.

Drinkwater, who looked gentle in the first half, will also completely become a tough sweeping engineer.

demeanor?grace?
nonexistent.

Sheffield is a city of steel, and Sheffield United is also a team that represents the working class. Their football style, whether it is now after their newborn or before they are struggling to surpass, is not elegant and beautiful.

They are blades, sharp speed and extremely lethal counterattack are their characteristics, while tough defense and attitude of never admitting defeat are their souls!
Even the new players who have only been transferred this season have been assimilated by Sheffield United's style in just a few months.

They are the toughest team in the Premier League. Even in the Champions League, this toughness will not change in the slightest.

Facing Sheffield United's midfield strangle, you either respond and fight with a tougher attitude, or bow your head and give up the ball. There is no third possibility.

As of now, the Sheffield United players have not encountered a more "tough" team than them, and it is even more difficult for Schalke 04, who had a dispute between generals and generals, to condense this courage.

Not surprisingly, Schalke 04's so-called counterattack was like a farce. Seeing the commotion, Sheffield United ran over it, only to find that it was all bubbles.

Medel even felt a little unsatisfactory. He hadn't exerted much force yet, and Schalke 04's midfielder couldn't bear it and withdrew from the confrontation.

But this is not to blame Schalke 04's midfield group.

Sheffield United's Matic and Medel are all ruthless midfielders, and Drinkwater has now developed a figure like a small tank. In terms of confrontation, it is difficult to find a few teams in Europe Can hold a stalemate with them.

Schalke 04's midfielder Holtby is a technical player with a height of less than 1.8 meters and a weight of only more than 60 kilograms. Not to mention Farfan and Afeilai, they seem to be full-backs, but they are actually full-backs. They are wingers, so it is completely for nothing to let them fight in the midfield.

The two midfielders of the miners are not bad, but they are held in the half by Li Mo at the moment. Playing midfield confrontation is really too difficult.

The tactical thinking was not unified, the offensive players were forced back by Sheffield United, and the morale was even damaged. In addition, the head coach Stevens was already black-faced at the moment, and he didn't want to deal with the situation on the field at all. Schalke 04's formation directly showed a trend of disjointed front and back.

The people behind let the midfielders return to defense, while the few people in front who lost the ball wanted to wait for the backcourt to steal the ball before counterattacking. Under such a situation, Sheffield United's fierce offensive suddenly became overwhelming. The final straw for Schalke 04.

In the 608th minute of the second half, Bell took the ball from the left and Matic hit the wall to cooperate. After breaking into the penalty area, he shot directly and caused Schalke 04 goalkeeper Unnerstall to let go. Höwedes was in time rescue.

No. 701 minutes, Matt Ridge made a pass from the left, Li Mo overwhelmed Matip and nodded the ball behind, and Unnerstahl was embarrassed to hold the ball out.

And just 2 minutes later, Drinkwater threatened Schalke 04's goal with another long-range shot from outside the penalty area by Sheffield United who took a tactical corner kick.

Such a fierce offensive made the fans enjoy watching, but Schalke 04's defense line was crumbling. The German commentator was already numb, and even felt a little ashamed.

It’s okay if we can’t beat Sheffield United due to strength issues, but now the team’s internal contradictions are openly exposed on the court, causing the players to lose their unified tactical thinking and being beaten by Sheffield United. This is really embarrassing up.

This is the Champions League!

The hottest football match that fans all over the world pay attention to. Schalke 04's performance on the field not only represents themselves, but also represents the face of German football.

Now I really don't want any face. The German commentators want Schalke 04 to be eliminated in the group stage as soon as possible, so as not to continue to be laughed at by fans from other countries.

Fortunately, Sheffield United did not let the fans of Schalke 04 continue to suffer. In the No.706 minute of the second half, they finally rewritten the score on the field again, which gave Schalke 04 a real relief.

"Oh! Li Mo! Li Mo scored again! Hewedes missed Li Mo, who was running in the front point, and a volley in the penalty area! Unner Stahl was beaten I couldn’t react at all! My ninth goal in the Champions League! The perfect scoring machine! The perfect center!”

Hearing Zhan Jun's disgusting praise, the Huaguo fans felt very comfortable.

Li Mo, who scored a wonderful goal in the penalty area of ​​Schalke 04, laughed and celebrated briefly with his teammates near the bottom line.

The game was completely killed, and the rest of the game time was completely reduced to garbage time. The reporters on the sidelines were completely focused on how to brag about Li Mo and laugh at Schalke 04's infighting on the pitch today.

When the game ended, the Sheffield United players who broke out from the Champions League group stage two rounds ahead of schedule naturally began to celebrate at home.

Speed, who was being interviewed, smiled calmly, left a sentence for the reporters, and left gracefully.

"Successful if you reach the top eight."
