Chapter 287 Your Era Is Over
Chapter 287 Your Era Is Over
"Lee's No. 20 league goals! I can't believe my eyes! Fans and friends, even going back to the beginning of the Premier League, we can't find a striker who can be compared with Li this season! Maybe Only older records can stop this horrible goal machine! He's not even 20 years old, that's crazy! Incredible Lee!"
When the Sky Sports commentator covered his head and exclaimed, on the Sheffield United bench, Dirk Dirk had already taken off his vest and stood up while nodding during the assistant coach's tactical explanation.
Li Mo, who had finished celebrating with his teammates, did not go back to his side this time. He looked at the substitution electronic board held up by the fourth official and walked to the sidelines.
This is what Speed discussed with him during the intermission. After scoring the third goal, he will end the game. There is no point in continuing to abuse the food. 4-0 is almost the same, and it would be impolite to score again.
There was warm applause from the stands of the away fans, and Li Mo also applauded to his own fans, then hugged him and left the field.
"Nice job, boy, remember the feeling of scoring goals, we have to kick Manchester United's ass hard on December 12st! If you don't score by then, I will kick your ass!"
Listening to the vulgar words of the old handsome guy, Li Mo subconsciously covered his buttocks.
Speed stared, as if he was going to kick now, Li Mo didn't dare to play tricks, and trotted directly onto the bench.
This scene made many commentators and fans laugh.
"Hey, the master and apprentice are playing again. The atmosphere in the Sheffield United team is very relaxed. There is no sense of tension before the big battle."
"Sheffield United are in good form recently. Although Wigan Athletic and Aston Villa are weak, the two 4-0 games are enough to show that Sheffield United has almost run in. The offensive firepower is ferocious, and the defense is as stable as ever. In the next round of the league, fans and friends will have something to watch!"
Although the game is not over yet, Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun have already started warming up for the next Premier League battle.
The fans of Sheffield United basically ended the discussion about this game, guessing the starting lineup that Speed will arrange for the next round of the league.
Manchester United fans began to beat drums in their hearts.
Their round of the game will start tomorrow, which means that Sheffield United will have one more day off than Manchester United. Such a schedule is not good for Manchester United.
But at this moment, questioning the schedule is undoubtedly adding jokes to other fans, and Manchester United fans can only stubbornly express that they don't care.
Anyway, it's time for the finishing touch, Manchester United will always face Sheffield United.
When the time comes, they will have a carnival if they win. If they can’t win, just pretend to be dead. Didn’t they survive the loss to Manchester City last season?
After reassuring themselves in this way, Manchester United fans feel that losing to Sheffield United is not unacceptable.
But when that sentiment starts to permeate the fan base, it really only says one thing.
Manchester United fans have lost confidence in the next round of the league.
Although I don't know if such negative emotions will have any impact on the Manchester United players preparing for the game.
But at the moment on the online battlefield, the fans of Sheffield United have initially taken control of the situation. Under the cheers of other fans, the fans of Manchester United are losing ground.
There is no way, in the past six years, Manchester United won five Premier League titles, which is really too much hatred, not to mention Liverpool and Leeds United, fans of other mid- and lower-level teams are all kinds of envy and hatred.
Although they know that the team they support will not be able to win the Premier League championship, they are very happy to see a new team rise up and take Manchester United off the throne.
※※※
Villa had no intention of counterattacking, and Sheffield United also controlled the initiative on the field, and the control of the field ran out of time.
With the joy of a 4-0 victory, the Sheffield United players went back to the hotel to celebrate a little.
However, because today's game was late, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening after the game, so the Sheffield United players could only rest in Birmingham for one night, and it was unrealistic to drive back to Sheffield overnight.
Speed thought about it, and simply planned to let the players sleep in tomorrow morning, and then set off for Sheffield around ten o'clock.
Such an arrangement naturally won the support of many Sheffield United players.
But back to the training base the next day, when Speed announced that everyone would have lunch at the base and then resume training at [-]:[-] pm, the boys wailed again.
Of course, it was mostly a joke. At this time, Speed asked them to take a day off and they probably didn't have a good rest.
This time there is one more day of rest than Manchester United, so it is natural to make good use of it. After finishing the recovery training today, we can start formal preparations tomorrow. Time is very tight, and no one wants to waste it.
Li Mo directly shouted the slogan of kicking Manchester United's ass on the training ground, and a group of young guys screamed to give the Red Devils an unforgettable lesson at home.
Berbatov also yelled twice, but after the yelling, he humorously asked everyone to act softly, which made his teammates laugh.
Although Xiao Sa didn't stay at Manchester United for a long time, he still has a deep affection for Manchester United. When he transferred to Sheffield United, he took the initiative to add a avoidance clause in the contract.
He won't be able to play in the Manchester United game, so it's no problem to shout twice to show his attitude of standing with his teammates.
Of course, if he can play, the players of Sheffield United believe that he will not show mercy. Although my handsome brother is an old Red Devil, his professionalism is still leveraged, and he will never be soft if he can score goals.
Not to mention another substitute striker, Dirk Dirk, if he can play at that time, he will definitely be more energetic than the old Sheffield United players.
The former Liverpool players played Manchester United, eating and sleeping to play Manchester United, this is a habit engraved in their bones.
The overall momentum of the team is getting higher and higher day by day in this kind of fiery preparation training. Speed and the members of the coaching staff have also entered the final stage of tactical selection.
To be on the safe side, in fact, just use Sheffield United's best counterattack tactics.
Manchester United's current defense in the middle and backcourt, Sheffield United will stand up and play one-on-one. If Ferguson dares to continue to start with Scholes, Li Mo will definitely lead Vardy to penetrate Manchester United's center!
But the next game is not just about the three points. Sheffield Lenovo completely broke the confidence of the Manchester United players and has the absolute initiative in the long league. It is not enough to win by counterattack.
To deal with a team that has won five league championships in the past six seasons, you must beat them in their proudest place and completely defeat them from the front, so as to destroy their beliefs to the greatest extent.
What Manchester United is best at now is naturally their offense. If Ferguson dares to put all his eggs in one basket and attack the strong defensive Sheffield United, why doesn't Speed dare to formulate more aggressive offensive tactics against the weaker defensive Manchester United?
Kou can go, so can I!
In the revenge against Manchester United last season, Sheffield United was not afraid from top to bottom. They grabbed fiercely and attacked even more fiercely, and finally crushed Manchester United at home.
So Speed just thought about it for a while and made up his mind.
He believes in the team he brought out, and even more in every Sheffield United player.
What they could do last season, they can do the same this season!
"Whether it's paranoid or crazy, this time, we will let everyone see that Sheffield United is a team that can chew hard bones!"
Speed patted the table vigorously. After making up his mind, not only him, but all the members of the Sheffield United coaching staff were full of pride!
They are about to trample on the former overlord of the Premier League at home!
The act of killing the king, who can but me!
※※※
At the end of November, fans all over Europe are excited and looking forward to the upcoming two games.
Before the fifth round of the Champions League group stage has started, the two top battles between the Premier League and the Bundesliga seem to have been agreed, and both will start on December 12.
Sheffield United VS Manchester United!
Bayern Munich VS Dortmund!
What's even more amazing is that the two games are currently the top teams in their respective leagues against the league champions of last season.
Sheffield United, which is rising strongly, wants to carve out its own territory in the Premier League and kill the king with a sword!
And Bayern Munich wants to recast the glory of the former Bundesliga overlord and take back the league championship from Dortmund after two years!
Before the two teams in the Western Super League did not meet, the traffic attracted by these two games can be said to be the highest in football.
It just so happened that the four teams basically reached the top [-] of the UEFA Champions League, and they were all the first in their respective groups, so not to mention the high gold content, it was just a warm-up for the upcoming UEFA Champions League competition.
The top management of UEFA hopes that the competition between the four teams will be more intense and attract more viewers to watch the UEFA Champions League group matches on December 12 and December 5.
As the game date approached, fans from all walks of life gradually became agitated.
The only fly in the ointment is that the two games are played at the same time, so fans can either watch the two games together, or they can only choose to watch one seriously. Many fans who have difficulty choosing are scratching their heads.
Of course, fans who have two TVs at home don't have to worry about this.
Fans in Huaguo and East Asia will naturally be more inclined to watch the focus of the Premier League.
Although the game started early in the morning, but it was Saturday, Manchester United’s popularity in Asia needless to say, Li Mo is now the number one football superstar in Asia, with double buffs superimposed, most fans in Asia can only reluctantly give up the Bundesliga’s top game up.
On November 11th, Li Mo, who finished training with his teammates, did not escape the interviews of the reporters squatting outside the training base. Facing the camera, Li Mo's speech excited the long-awaited fans immediately.
"We both have reasons to win, we are the same, Manchester United are the same, so there is no point in shouting some slogans before the game, we all know what this game means, 'war' as early as a week, or even half a year ago. It's been a month ago, I respect Manchester United fans, all Manchester United players and Sir Alex Ferguson, but there is no doubt that Sheffield United is the final winner, and we are ready!"
On November 11, Rooney responded strongly to Li Mo's "declaration of war" in an interview.
"We have won five league titles in the past six seasons. During this period, many teams have tried to challenge us, but six years have passed, and only one Chelsea has snatched a championship trophy from us. What Manchester City couldn't do last season, Sheffield United can't do this season either, this is the era of Manchester United! I think Lee needs to realize this, they still have a long way to go."
The confrontation between the speeches of the stars of the two sides attracted a large number of fans to discuss, and celebrities from all walks of life also stood up and predicted the final result of the game.
Of course, Manchester United has far more famous stars than Sheffield United, but in the final score prediction, Sheffield United is the more optimistic side.
Because there are more "neutral" celebrities who voted for Sheffield United, including Alan Shearer, Tonya Adams, and Lineker, many heavyweight celebrities said in interviews that the strength of Sheffield United has surpassed Manchester United A lot.
"Of course I have a lot of respect for this Manchester United team, but look, they're in the decline of their dynasty and Sheffield United is the new king desperate to prove themselves, and they have Lee! And Lee is unstoppable, at least when he gets old. Ferdinand can't stop Lee's goal. It's a difficult problem. Are you going to ask me to support a team whose defense is destined to be blown up? I'm sorry I can't do it."
Alan Shearer's arch fire made this battle full of gunpowder.
Although Ferdinand did not make any response to his speech, fans who know Ferdinand know that at this moment he must be holding his breath and wanting to respond to Alan Shearer's pessimism with actual performance in the game.
He is old now, and his confrontation ability and speed are not as good as before, but this superstar central defender who once accompanied Manchester United to the top of Europe also has his own pride.
Even if it is an old lion, it is still a beast that can violently injure people. Ferdinand became ruthless and wanted to restrain Li Mo in tomorrow's game to prove that he is still one of the best central defenders in the Premier League.
Under the restraint of the head coaches on both sides, few players continued to accept interviews with reporters to speak out.
But just like what Li Mo said, the war has already come, and the silence at this moment is just the calm before the storm. Tomorrow's match will directly enter the fierce fighting stage.
After all, the Manchester United players also came to Sheffield with a revenge mentality.
In the duel at the end of last season, they lost too badly and ugly. Even though they won the league championship in the end, the loss of that game was deeply engraved in the hearts of every Manchester United player.
Only victory can wash away this shame, just like the Sheffield United team that lost to Manchester United at the beginning of last season.
If Manchester United succeeds in revenge in this game, then it is possible that this momentum will overtake Sheffield United in the subsequent rounds of the league.
But if they are beaten again by Sheffield United and have no strength to fight back, maybe some Manchester United players will really lose the confidence of the defending champion.
This is a game that neither player can afford to lose. On the road to the league championship, only one king can stand and survive in the end.
In the past, such duels would only start at the end of the league, but the strength of Sheffield United has brought this year's duel forward.
In the case of not being as strong as their opponents, Manchester United's players can only live to death, and Ferguson can only show his cards.
Fighting for midfield and defense, they can't fight, they can only put all their eggs in one basket on the way of offense, now, they are waiting for Sheffield United to make a move.
※※※
On the afternoon of December 12st, in the crowded Bramall Lane Stadium, while the players of both sides were still warming up, Speed finally released today's Sheffield United starting list.
Sheffield United did not choose their best [-], nor did they choose [-] with a more balanced offense and defense, but [-]!
Sheffield United, like Manchester United, chose a very aggressive four-three-three formation!
The reporters at the scene were in an uproar!
Fans from all walks of life directly fry the pot in the forum!
Sheffield United's starting three forwards have not changed much, they are still Bell, Li Mo and Joaquin.
But today's three midfielders did not start Medel, but sent a combination of Dembele and Matic Gadrinkwater.
Dembele Gade Linkwater, the offensive posture has been completely put on, Sheffield United is going to fight Manchester United today, there is no fear at all!
Such confidence made the blood of Sheffield United's home fans excited.
This is the fundamental reason why they love the team!
Whether it was in the low-level league before or now it is on the road to compete for the league championship, Sheffield United is still the team that is fearless and dares to face the enemy head-on!
Fans from other teams also applauded Speed for his boldness and bravery!
This is what the first battle should look like.
Without the determination to blast the opponent to death, if a strong team is on the defensive and plays counterattacks, the top team like that really has no momentum.
A real man has to go head-to-head with his opponent. The fans enjoy watching it, and the players who play the game don't have any regrets.
Regardless of whether you win or lose, fight with all your strength. If you win, you will enjoy it, and if you lose, you will have no regrets. This is the pinnacle of the Premier League!
At least for this moment, Speed and Sheffield United have won the respect of all fans, including Manchester United fans.
If Sheffield United counterattacks, it will be really difficult for Manchester United to deal with it, unless they also shrink their formation and give Sheffield United no chance to counterattack at all.
But that's not what United fans want to see, and that's not how United play.
Sheffield United chose to play against Manchester United, but Manchester United can give full play to their greatest advantages, so the current Manchester United fans are really convinced.
What is respect?Sheffield United This is called real respect!
If Manchester United still loses today, the fans of Manchester United will also recognize that Sheffield United has put the battlefield in the field that Manchester United is best at.
As the warm-ups of the two players finished, the game entered the final stage of preparation. The tense atmosphere began to gather in the sky over the Bramall Lane Stadium, and the ever-increasing ratings also announced that the game was getting more attention. What an exaggeration.
Li Mojing sat in his seat, changed his jersey, and checked the shin guards. He finally stood up, attracting the attention of all his teammates in the locker room.
After clapping his hands and motioning for everyone to gather around, Li Mo took a deep breath, and then slowly said:
"We have had a perfect early stage of the season, with [-] league games, [-] wins and one draw, and all four rounds of the Champions League group stage. More than a year ago, our wish is gradually being realized, and now the whole of Europe Know our names, guys, we're on to something big!
We still maintain an unbeaten record. We are invincible, defeated one opponent after another, and took the lead in breaking through in the Champions League. This is something to be proud of. I am proud of everything we have achieved. This is sincere. .
But now, I need you to temporarily forget the previous series of records, yes, those victories, those gorgeous data, they are just records, not achievements.
What are our achievements?It is a League Cup champion after being promoted to the Premier League, that's all. Of course, I believe that we will win more championships in the future, more heavyweight championships. We will all become champions and winners, but! "
Having said that, Li Mo paused for a moment, then raised the volume to remind everyone.
"Before you win those championships, promise me that you will forget the praise from the outside media and the series of achievements that don't make much sense. Before you hold the Premier League championship trophy in your arms, all the praises and exaggerated praises It's shit!
If we can't fight against Manchester United today, all the voices who praised us before the game will change their positions. They have praised us, and they can naturally turn their heads to praise Manchester United. This is the real football world, and this is the real face of those reporters and media.
So before this game starts, I need you to keep a clear head like me, we are not some so-called 'ring guards', we don't even have a fucking Premier League champion, why stand in the ring and wait The champion got a soft-handed Manchester United to challenge us?
Remember that hunger and thirst, remember the anger in our hearts after losing to Manchester United last season, as long as we don't win the Premier League title, then this hunger and anger will never disappear!We are always just one of the teams to challenge Manchester United!
If you want to become the new king, the first step must be to defeat the old king. I don't want to emphasize the importance of this game, because those damn media have already done a lot of publicity for us before the game.
Now I have only one request for you, calm down, as before, we are united and fight against Manchester United from the first second of the game until the final whistle!
If we win, then we will happily win together!If we lose, then at the end of the game, one of us can still stand on the field, that is an insult to the team!
Now, United sit high on a throne and ask us what we want.
unite!sacrifice!Fight until the last moment!Fucking Manchester United!This is our answer!
This is Sheffield United!
glory!glory! ! ! "
"Glory to Sheffield -!!!"
Li Mo, who was roaring, broke open the door of the dressing room and walked out first, while the other Sheffield United players followed closely behind him, roaring and filing out!
The huge movement and the hostile words mixed in it made the Manchester United players who were lining up glaring.
The angry Sheffield United players stared back, not to be outdone!
A strong smell of gunpowder immediately permeated the player channel.
If the referee team came over at this time, maybe the captains of both sides would come out and give a warning first.
Fortunately, Li Mo and Evra did not provoke each other too much at this time. When the captains of both sides signaled, the players on both sides had no choice but to snort coldly and stand in line.
The verbal prowess is only temporary, and it will still have to be seen on the field later, but in today's hot atmosphere, the scene when the game starts is already predictable.
After a while, members of the referee team came in and signaled for players from both sides to enter the field in an orderly manner.
The entire Bramall Lane Stadium also boiled up, and the hot home atmosphere made the fans and audience in front of the TV excited. They wished they could be at the scene, cheering wantonly with the fans around them!
The commentators from various countries started the pre-match introduction.
The formations of Manchester United and Sheffield United are almost exactly the same today.
However, Rooney did not appear on the front line, but replaced Scholes and appeared in the midfield. It seems that Ferguson also made a choice, sacrificing Rooney's scoring ability, and wanted him to help stabilize the midfield first. The situation is over.
"Manchester United and Sheffield United have formed a four-three-three formation today. The three strikers that Manchester United will start today are:
Ashley Young, Van Persie and Anderson.
In the midfield, Rooney and Fletcher acted as central midfielders, with Carrick as a single midfielder.
From left to right in defense: Evra, Evans, Ferdinand and Rafael.
De Gea is the goalkeeper.
Sheffield United's starting striker combination and defense personnel are not much different from the previous round of the league. The main change is still in the midfield.
Today Dembele and Drinkwater partnered to organize the offense, while Matic was behind the defense.
I have to say that Speed's formation is very bold, and he also trusts the offensive ability of his disciples very much."
In Zhan Jun's introduction, Huaguo fans also quickly understood the starting lineup and starting players of Manchester United and Sheffield United today.
For Speed's decision, neutral fans must support it, after all, fans like to watch the battle.
But the supporters of Sheffield United were sweating while being excited.
This season, Manchester United's offensive ability is second only to Sheffield United, and it is still slightly better than Manchester City. Although their defense will always make some unnecessary mistakes, they are not black in the offensive.
Van Persie's scoring ability is not as good as Li Mo, but he can always hit some magic shots, and all kinds of non-stop volley shots are easy to come by.
Sheffield United's main offense today will naturally give Van Persie more opportunities on the defensive end. If he really wants to make him feel good, then the game is really hard to say.
But now the fans of Sheffield United can only stand firmly beside Speed and the players to give support. The coach's decision has been made, and it is too late for this to change. The fans can only follow the team all the way to the dark. up.
At 17:30 in the afternoon, with the whistle of the referee, the focus of this Premier League battle finally kicked off.
Sheffield United, which sits at home, also made a bold attempt from the beginning.
After the kickoff, Drinkwater took possession of the ball and made a cross.
Dembele, who received the ball, returned the ball to Matic, who was lagging behind. The Manchester United players followed the tactics arranged before the game to press down. As a result, Matic passed the ball directly to the frontcourt with one kick!
Li Mo suddenly accelerated his running speed at this moment, and caught Manchester United's backcourt players by surprise. In the ensuing header fight, Li Mo, who rushed up, also overwhelmed Evans and successfully ferried the football to the left. Bell plugged in at high speed.
Had it not been for Manchester United's right back Raphael to foul Bell in time, then Sheffield United's sudden attack might have been successful.
You know, at that time, after Bell passed by, he was flat. If nothing else, at least he could get a chance to enter the penalty area.
So Li Mo directly appealed to the referee, Raphael's foul this time, it's not justified not to get a yellow card, right?
But the referee seemed to be hesitant, and finally reached out to signal players on both sides not to approach, but gave Sheffield United a free kick in the front court, and did not choose to show Rafael a yellow card.
The players of Sheffield United were naturally not satisfied, while the players of Manchester United said that the referee's penalty was fine, and the players of both sides became angry after pushing and shoving.
More than 3 Sheffield United fans at the scene also booed deafeningly.
In the end, under the stern warning and urging of the referee, Sheffield United took a set kick in the frontcourt and looked for offensive opportunities again, while Manchester United's players also launched an overall pressing and pressing, and the rhythm was raised immediately.
You can see such an exciting scene at the beginning, and the neutral fans are naturally hooked.
In the 4th minute of the first half, Li Mo retreated to catch the ball and forced a breakthrough to overturn Fletcher who was stuck in the defense. The referee called Sheffield United's offensive foul, and Speed questioned angrily on the sidelines.
In the 6th minute, Rooney shoveled and tripped Moussa Dembele, who was dribbling the ball. The referee gave Sheffield United a chance to set the ball in the front court. Ferguson also rushed to the sidelines to question the referee's blow penalty scale.
The fourth official was immediately paralyzed.
The game has only just started, why did the head coaches of both sides get him into trouble, the key is because this incident warned the coaches of both sides that he would have to be criticized by the fans of both sides, so he had to persuade them first.
The players on both sides are fully engaged in the game at this time. You attack and I come on the field, but you don't want to give the opponent a chance to calmly organize in the half, so the confrontation is very intense.
Li Mo, as the focus of Manchester United's defense players, played for less than 10 minutes, and his red and white jersey and shorts were all stained.
This kind of confrontation rhythm reminds Li Mo of the time when he was still in the British Championship two years ago.
It was not just as simple as dirtying the jersey, sometimes he even found shoe prints on his underwear when he changed his clothes after half a game.
Although the Manchester United players acted tough, they didn't kick him secretly today. This kind of intensity made Li Mo even more excited.
Speed used to always joke that Li Mo was a player from the old League One era, and his tough style was nothing like the current new generation of players.
Li Mo himself thinks so, he likes confrontation, likes the thrill of winning after head-to-head with his opponent, this is the sport that men should love.
So for those tough opponents, he will always have more respect.
Of course, being tough doesn't mean being dirty. If there are defensive players who dare to attack Li Mo or his teammates, De Jong, who broke his leg before, will be the only end for these players.
Although Fletcher and Carrick looked a bit soft, their styles were still very tough. Their active defense caused some interference to Li Mo, but in the face of Li Mo's strong physical fitness, they still quickly fell behind. downwind.
Under the current rhythm of confrontation, Sheffield United is naturally the more dominant side.
Even if Li Mo couldn't enter Manchester United's penalty area, his fulcrum role was very prominent, and Bell and Joaquin on both sides also got a lot of opportunities to advance.
In contrast, Manchester United's frontcourt offense is slightly more difficult.
Ashley Young's strength is still online. If standing in front of him is a big center, then he can actually make a fuss in Sheffield United's slightly empty wing today when he is covered.
However, although Van Persie did a good job of retreating to support and attacking with the ball, in positional battles, his back-up ability was limited when he encountered midfielders like Dembele and Matic.
Van Persie actually has the fulcrum ability, but the scorer.
You can ask him to carry an ordinary defender, but it’s okay to carry heavy midfielders like Matic and Dembele. It’s even worse when you meet Maguire. Today, the referee’s whistle was loose, and Van Persie fought several times The referee didn't say anything, which is really a bit of a disadvantage.
But if you give up, you will get something. Li Mo is the only one in today's football. Van Persie is not top-notch in terms of back and body, and he is not bad in other aspects.
But this time he really can't bring more tactical support to Manchester United's offense, he can only rely on Rooney's organization and the ability to find opportunities on the two sides.
At this time, Zhang Lu saw the tactical thinking of the two teams in the fierce competition, and also saw the opportunity of Sheffield United.
"Ferguson just wanted to use high-intensity confrontation and raised rhythm to increase Sheffield United's offensive turnover rate, but with the physical fitness of both players rapidly depleting, Sheffield United has one more team that can increase the overall offense." Li Mo has more tactical changes, and the second is that under the attention of Speed, the physical condition of Sheffield United players will be better.
For Manchester United, disrupting Sheffield United's offensive plan is good, but they can't hold each other for too long. If you continue to fight like this, it is you Manchester United who started the chaos, but whether it ends or not depends on Sheffield United! "
Speed obviously saw this too, but he felt that Ferguson's tactics would not be that simple.
It's a very simple truth. Ferguson uses an aging lineup to compete with Sheffield United. Why does he have such confidence?
Either there is no move, and Ferguson can only choose to use the physical fitness of the players in exchange for the stalemate on the field, or Ferguson is hiding a killer move!
Speed is definitely more inclined to the latter point of view. In the Premier League, any coach who dares to really underestimate Ferguson will definitely suffer a big loss.
However, when the No. 16 minute of the first half was played, the Manchester United players, who seemed a little weak just now, suddenly came forward with a wave of overall pressure. This sudden change made Speed's heart skip a beat.
Regardless of the loopholes in the backcourt defense, Manchester United's desperate forward pressure quickly formed a situation where they played more and less in local space. At this time, Sheffield United, who was fully committed to fighting Manchester United, was naturally slow in returning to defense.
Matic can only keep his position and keep retreating, while beckoning Dembele and Drinkwater to retreat quickly.
Bell ran back to the defense with all his strength on the left, but the speed of football delivery still made Sheffield United's retreat seem a little too late.
Standing on the sidelines, Ferguson stared nervously at the development of the situation on the field. This is his "ultimate move" carefully prepared for Sheffield United. It is very risky and hard work, but if it works, it will be very worthwhile.
Although the physical fitness of the veterans is a problem, it is no problem to execute tactics in this way less than half an hour after the start of the game.
And when everyone focused on Van Persie and the two forward wingers, Rooney who was hiding behind them would complete the fatal blow!
"Don't let me down, Wayne."
Ferguson watched Rooney, who was running towards the Sheffield United penalty area, clenched his hands unconsciously.
Since Ronaldo left, many newcomers have come to Manchester United year after year, but none of them have been able to play the dominance of Ronaldo in 08.
Going around and turning to the end, Rooney is still the only one who has supported Manchester United's striker and even midfielder in recent years.
Lu Xiaopang is clamoring for a high salary and an absolute core tactical position, but no matter what he does off the court, as long as he is on the court, he is definitely the one who wants to win the most in the Red Devils.
He went to cover the shortage of strikers, and he also went to cover the shortage of midfielders. His talent was wasted, and he had his own reasons, but Ferguson knew that he was also responsible.
But for Manchester United, he can only choose to sacrifice Rooney. Rooney also knows that he needs to make sacrifices, but he is willing to be the one who makes concessions for Manchester United.
Now, when someone needs to step up, Rooney has United on his shoulders once again.
He wants everyone to understand that Van Persie may be able to save the current Manchester United, but only he, Wayne Rooney, will give everything for Manchester United!
"The Red Devils' desperate counterattack! Ashley Young's dribbling speed is too fast! Dembele and Drinkwater have no time to return to the defense! Four on four in the frontcourt, Trippier is desperately chasing back, but it seems a bit It's too late!"
There was some anxiety in Zhan Jun's voice.
Especially after seeing Robin van Persie and Anderson following Ashley Young into Sheffield United's defensive third, he felt that Sheffield United would suffer a lot this time.
Van Persie raised his hand to ask for the ball, and at the same time inserted into the front of Sheffield United's penalty area. Ashley Young made a cross. Maguire could only stick close to Van Persie first, and get the position of Manchester United's top scorer. live.
But Ashley Young's foot did not hoist the ball into Sheffield United's penalty area, but swept it horizontally!
Vertonghen looked at Anderson. At this time, Rooney, who was running in front of the penalty area, was almost unguarded. Speed stood up from the coach's bench and turned pale with shock!
Not Van Persie, not Anderson, but Wayne Rooney who followed!
United fans jumped from their seats as they yelled "Shoot!"
Rooney decisively chose to shoot furiously in the penalty area, without giving Sheffield United's other defensive players too much time to think.
This shot was crushed by Rooney, and there was no possibility of missing the goal frame.
With the sound of the wind, the unstoppable momentum, and the hope of all Manchester United fans, the whistling football almost went straight to the dead corner of the upper left corner of the goal!
But just as the football was about to enter the net in the upper left corner of the Sheffield United goal, a palm that was struggling to appear in the sight of all fans blocked its way forward!
Sommer, the goalkeeper who has been known by the fans for his stable performance after his transfer to Sheffield United, today made all the Premier League fans realize why Sheffield United only introduced him as a young goalkeeper. After that, the signings were stopped.
That figure, who was not tall compared to other goalkeepers, seemed to be transformed into a wall of sighs in front of Sheffield United's gate at this moment!
His magical pounce stopped the cheers of Manchester United fans who had already reached their lips!
Rooney's eyes widened in disbelief!
Van Persie hugged his head and couldn't even grab the second point in the first place!
Ferguson's hands trembled, looking at the empty half of the field, he closed his eyes in pain!
"Sommer! Sommer --!!! The Swiss goalkeeper denied Rooney's shot! He saved Sheffield United! He saved the entire Sheffield United defense!!! Maguire took the ball first and kicked it out Well, this attack and defense is not over yet! Will Sheffield United have a chance to counterattack?!"
In the commentary of Zhan Jun's angry voice, Maguire's big foot cleared and drove straight towards the top of the center circle. The Manchester United players seemed to wake up at this time, and began to retreat in a panic.
Sheffield United's counterattack is no joke. Once Bell or Li Mo get the ball in Manchester United's half, it will be a disaster for Manchester United!
Matic withstood Fletcher, who kept interfering with him, and smoothly passed the ball to Drinkwater, who was not far from his side at this time and had already switched from defense to offense.
Bell, who had just sprinted back to his own half, had no time to catch his breath at this moment, and began to accelerate in reverse with all his strength.
Drinkwater didn't wait for Bell to increase his speed, and passed the ball directly to Joaquin who retreated to catch the ball.
Li Mo put his head down and started running wildly. After Joaquin retreated, he directly occupied the position on the right side, which was convenient for the teammates who received the ball behind to make a pass choice.
At this moment, there was only Evra trailing behind him. Seeing this, Joaquin sent a through ball directly along the sideline!
"Li Mo is rushing! He is competing with Evra for speed. The 31-year-old Manchester United captain is no match for him! Joaquin's through ball!"
The Sheffield United fans at the scene saw their own counterattack immediately after experiencing the shock. For a while, many people held their hearts.
But seeing Li Mo passing Evra to catch the ball and scoring into Manchester United's defensive third almost in an instant, the fans immediately ignored their heart problems and broke out into huge cheers and screams Voice!
While running at high speed, Li Mo cut the ball horizontally and directly entered his range.
Bell continued to grit his teeth and accelerate on the left, and he was about to overtake Rafael and insert into Manchester United's penalty area!
Evans had to retreat to stare at Bell, while Ferdinand stuck in position following Li Mo's movements, and did not give Li Mo a chance to shoot.
Just when everyone was looking at Li Mo, waiting for him to make a choice of shooting or passing, he changed direction and also entered the penalty area of Manchester United. Under the explosion, his movements were extremely fast, and Ferdinand was directly given by him. Left behind!
The angle is a bit small, but there is almost no interference from anyone on both sides. This kind of opportunity is enough for Li Mo!
He swung his right thigh back high, exposing his strong thigh muscles, as if exposing a ferocious gun barrel!
In the blink of an eye, Li Mo shot with all his strength, even in the penalty area, he refused to let go of half of his strength.
And under the action of this terrifying force, the football whizzed out violently!
Either go into the net, or fly over the crossbar and fly towards the stands. There are only two possibilities for this kind of shot, and the goalkeeper can't catch it at all!
Even if the peak Casillas and Buffon stand in front of the goal today, they can't catch it!
De Gea's goal line skills are very strong, but he can't see the trajectory of this ball at all.
Almost relying on instinctive consciousness, he rushed to the far corner, but De Gea had just jumped up and stretched out his arms, and he could already hear the crisp sound of the football hitting the net in his ears!
He looked back, and the football blocked by the net was unwillingly falling into the goal. At this moment, Li Mo had roared ferociously and rushed under the turbulent fan stands!
"Li Mo's shot——!!! The ball went in! The ball went in——!!! This is a burst shot that can hardly see the flight trajectory! De Gea has no way at all! Sheffield United is leading! One time Enough exciting transition of offense and defense! Sommer saved Sheffield United! Li Mo stabbed Manchester United to bleed! This is Sheffield United! This is Sheffield United's counterattack!!!”
Amidst the 3 Sheffield United fans roaring and celebrating at the Bramall Lane Stadium, Ferguson's eyes suddenly went into a trance.
He seems to have seen the high-spirited self back then, leading a group of young lads, charging into battle at Old Trafford, defeating one team after another.
At that time, Liverpool was sitting high on the throne, and Manchester United led by him was just like Sheffield United now, preparing to kill the king with a sword!
History is really like a strange circle. The road they traveled back then is now embarked on the same journey by another young team.
Li Mo's goal seemed to tell him cruelly but calmly:
Your time is over!
Today's update, Wuhu takes off~
(End of this chapter)
"Lee's No. 20 league goals! I can't believe my eyes! Fans and friends, even going back to the beginning of the Premier League, we can't find a striker who can be compared with Li this season! Maybe Only older records can stop this horrible goal machine! He's not even 20 years old, that's crazy! Incredible Lee!"
When the Sky Sports commentator covered his head and exclaimed, on the Sheffield United bench, Dirk Dirk had already taken off his vest and stood up while nodding during the assistant coach's tactical explanation.
Li Mo, who had finished celebrating with his teammates, did not go back to his side this time. He looked at the substitution electronic board held up by the fourth official and walked to the sidelines.
This is what Speed discussed with him during the intermission. After scoring the third goal, he will end the game. There is no point in continuing to abuse the food. 4-0 is almost the same, and it would be impolite to score again.
There was warm applause from the stands of the away fans, and Li Mo also applauded to his own fans, then hugged him and left the field.
"Nice job, boy, remember the feeling of scoring goals, we have to kick Manchester United's ass hard on December 12st! If you don't score by then, I will kick your ass!"
Listening to the vulgar words of the old handsome guy, Li Mo subconsciously covered his buttocks.
Speed stared, as if he was going to kick now, Li Mo didn't dare to play tricks, and trotted directly onto the bench.
This scene made many commentators and fans laugh.
"Hey, the master and apprentice are playing again. The atmosphere in the Sheffield United team is very relaxed. There is no sense of tension before the big battle."
"Sheffield United are in good form recently. Although Wigan Athletic and Aston Villa are weak, the two 4-0 games are enough to show that Sheffield United has almost run in. The offensive firepower is ferocious, and the defense is as stable as ever. In the next round of the league, fans and friends will have something to watch!"
Although the game is not over yet, Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun have already started warming up for the next Premier League battle.
The fans of Sheffield United basically ended the discussion about this game, guessing the starting lineup that Speed will arrange for the next round of the league.
Manchester United fans began to beat drums in their hearts.
Their round of the game will start tomorrow, which means that Sheffield United will have one more day off than Manchester United. Such a schedule is not good for Manchester United.
But at this moment, questioning the schedule is undoubtedly adding jokes to other fans, and Manchester United fans can only stubbornly express that they don't care.
Anyway, it's time for the finishing touch, Manchester United will always face Sheffield United.
When the time comes, they will have a carnival if they win. If they can’t win, just pretend to be dead. Didn’t they survive the loss to Manchester City last season?
After reassuring themselves in this way, Manchester United fans feel that losing to Sheffield United is not unacceptable.
But when that sentiment starts to permeate the fan base, it really only says one thing.
Manchester United fans have lost confidence in the next round of the league.
Although I don't know if such negative emotions will have any impact on the Manchester United players preparing for the game.
But at the moment on the online battlefield, the fans of Sheffield United have initially taken control of the situation. Under the cheers of other fans, the fans of Manchester United are losing ground.
There is no way, in the past six years, Manchester United won five Premier League titles, which is really too much hatred, not to mention Liverpool and Leeds United, fans of other mid- and lower-level teams are all kinds of envy and hatred.
Although they know that the team they support will not be able to win the Premier League championship, they are very happy to see a new team rise up and take Manchester United off the throne.
※※※
Villa had no intention of counterattacking, and Sheffield United also controlled the initiative on the field, and the control of the field ran out of time.
With the joy of a 4-0 victory, the Sheffield United players went back to the hotel to celebrate a little.
However, because today's game was late, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening after the game, so the Sheffield United players could only rest in Birmingham for one night, and it was unrealistic to drive back to Sheffield overnight.
Speed thought about it, and simply planned to let the players sleep in tomorrow morning, and then set off for Sheffield around ten o'clock.
Such an arrangement naturally won the support of many Sheffield United players.
But back to the training base the next day, when Speed announced that everyone would have lunch at the base and then resume training at [-]:[-] pm, the boys wailed again.
Of course, it was mostly a joke. At this time, Speed asked them to take a day off and they probably didn't have a good rest.
This time there is one more day of rest than Manchester United, so it is natural to make good use of it. After finishing the recovery training today, we can start formal preparations tomorrow. Time is very tight, and no one wants to waste it.
Li Mo directly shouted the slogan of kicking Manchester United's ass on the training ground, and a group of young guys screamed to give the Red Devils an unforgettable lesson at home.
Berbatov also yelled twice, but after the yelling, he humorously asked everyone to act softly, which made his teammates laugh.
Although Xiao Sa didn't stay at Manchester United for a long time, he still has a deep affection for Manchester United. When he transferred to Sheffield United, he took the initiative to add a avoidance clause in the contract.
He won't be able to play in the Manchester United game, so it's no problem to shout twice to show his attitude of standing with his teammates.
Of course, if he can play, the players of Sheffield United believe that he will not show mercy. Although my handsome brother is an old Red Devil, his professionalism is still leveraged, and he will never be soft if he can score goals.
Not to mention another substitute striker, Dirk Dirk, if he can play at that time, he will definitely be more energetic than the old Sheffield United players.
The former Liverpool players played Manchester United, eating and sleeping to play Manchester United, this is a habit engraved in their bones.
The overall momentum of the team is getting higher and higher day by day in this kind of fiery preparation training. Speed and the members of the coaching staff have also entered the final stage of tactical selection.
To be on the safe side, in fact, just use Sheffield United's best counterattack tactics.
Manchester United's current defense in the middle and backcourt, Sheffield United will stand up and play one-on-one. If Ferguson dares to continue to start with Scholes, Li Mo will definitely lead Vardy to penetrate Manchester United's center!
But the next game is not just about the three points. Sheffield Lenovo completely broke the confidence of the Manchester United players and has the absolute initiative in the long league. It is not enough to win by counterattack.
To deal with a team that has won five league championships in the past six seasons, you must beat them in their proudest place and completely defeat them from the front, so as to destroy their beliefs to the greatest extent.
What Manchester United is best at now is naturally their offense. If Ferguson dares to put all his eggs in one basket and attack the strong defensive Sheffield United, why doesn't Speed dare to formulate more aggressive offensive tactics against the weaker defensive Manchester United?
Kou can go, so can I!
In the revenge against Manchester United last season, Sheffield United was not afraid from top to bottom. They grabbed fiercely and attacked even more fiercely, and finally crushed Manchester United at home.
So Speed just thought about it for a while and made up his mind.
He believes in the team he brought out, and even more in every Sheffield United player.
What they could do last season, they can do the same this season!
"Whether it's paranoid or crazy, this time, we will let everyone see that Sheffield United is a team that can chew hard bones!"
Speed patted the table vigorously. After making up his mind, not only him, but all the members of the Sheffield United coaching staff were full of pride!
They are about to trample on the former overlord of the Premier League at home!
The act of killing the king, who can but me!
※※※
At the end of November, fans all over Europe are excited and looking forward to the upcoming two games.
Before the fifth round of the Champions League group stage has started, the two top battles between the Premier League and the Bundesliga seem to have been agreed, and both will start on December 12.
Sheffield United VS Manchester United!
Bayern Munich VS Dortmund!
What's even more amazing is that the two games are currently the top teams in their respective leagues against the league champions of last season.
Sheffield United, which is rising strongly, wants to carve out its own territory in the Premier League and kill the king with a sword!
And Bayern Munich wants to recast the glory of the former Bundesliga overlord and take back the league championship from Dortmund after two years!
Before the two teams in the Western Super League did not meet, the traffic attracted by these two games can be said to be the highest in football.
It just so happened that the four teams basically reached the top [-] of the UEFA Champions League, and they were all the first in their respective groups, so not to mention the high gold content, it was just a warm-up for the upcoming UEFA Champions League competition.
The top management of UEFA hopes that the competition between the four teams will be more intense and attract more viewers to watch the UEFA Champions League group matches on December 12 and December 5.
As the game date approached, fans from all walks of life gradually became agitated.
The only fly in the ointment is that the two games are played at the same time, so fans can either watch the two games together, or they can only choose to watch one seriously. Many fans who have difficulty choosing are scratching their heads.
Of course, fans who have two TVs at home don't have to worry about this.
Fans in Huaguo and East Asia will naturally be more inclined to watch the focus of the Premier League.
Although the game started early in the morning, but it was Saturday, Manchester United’s popularity in Asia needless to say, Li Mo is now the number one football superstar in Asia, with double buffs superimposed, most fans in Asia can only reluctantly give up the Bundesliga’s top game up.
On November 11th, Li Mo, who finished training with his teammates, did not escape the interviews of the reporters squatting outside the training base. Facing the camera, Li Mo's speech excited the long-awaited fans immediately.
"We both have reasons to win, we are the same, Manchester United are the same, so there is no point in shouting some slogans before the game, we all know what this game means, 'war' as early as a week, or even half a year ago. It's been a month ago, I respect Manchester United fans, all Manchester United players and Sir Alex Ferguson, but there is no doubt that Sheffield United is the final winner, and we are ready!"
On November 11, Rooney responded strongly to Li Mo's "declaration of war" in an interview.
"We have won five league titles in the past six seasons. During this period, many teams have tried to challenge us, but six years have passed, and only one Chelsea has snatched a championship trophy from us. What Manchester City couldn't do last season, Sheffield United can't do this season either, this is the era of Manchester United! I think Lee needs to realize this, they still have a long way to go."
The confrontation between the speeches of the stars of the two sides attracted a large number of fans to discuss, and celebrities from all walks of life also stood up and predicted the final result of the game.
Of course, Manchester United has far more famous stars than Sheffield United, but in the final score prediction, Sheffield United is the more optimistic side.
Because there are more "neutral" celebrities who voted for Sheffield United, including Alan Shearer, Tonya Adams, and Lineker, many heavyweight celebrities said in interviews that the strength of Sheffield United has surpassed Manchester United A lot.
"Of course I have a lot of respect for this Manchester United team, but look, they're in the decline of their dynasty and Sheffield United is the new king desperate to prove themselves, and they have Lee! And Lee is unstoppable, at least when he gets old. Ferdinand can't stop Lee's goal. It's a difficult problem. Are you going to ask me to support a team whose defense is destined to be blown up? I'm sorry I can't do it."
Alan Shearer's arch fire made this battle full of gunpowder.
Although Ferdinand did not make any response to his speech, fans who know Ferdinand know that at this moment he must be holding his breath and wanting to respond to Alan Shearer's pessimism with actual performance in the game.
He is old now, and his confrontation ability and speed are not as good as before, but this superstar central defender who once accompanied Manchester United to the top of Europe also has his own pride.
Even if it is an old lion, it is still a beast that can violently injure people. Ferdinand became ruthless and wanted to restrain Li Mo in tomorrow's game to prove that he is still one of the best central defenders in the Premier League.
Under the restraint of the head coaches on both sides, few players continued to accept interviews with reporters to speak out.
But just like what Li Mo said, the war has already come, and the silence at this moment is just the calm before the storm. Tomorrow's match will directly enter the fierce fighting stage.
After all, the Manchester United players also came to Sheffield with a revenge mentality.
In the duel at the end of last season, they lost too badly and ugly. Even though they won the league championship in the end, the loss of that game was deeply engraved in the hearts of every Manchester United player.
Only victory can wash away this shame, just like the Sheffield United team that lost to Manchester United at the beginning of last season.
If Manchester United succeeds in revenge in this game, then it is possible that this momentum will overtake Sheffield United in the subsequent rounds of the league.
But if they are beaten again by Sheffield United and have no strength to fight back, maybe some Manchester United players will really lose the confidence of the defending champion.
This is a game that neither player can afford to lose. On the road to the league championship, only one king can stand and survive in the end.
In the past, such duels would only start at the end of the league, but the strength of Sheffield United has brought this year's duel forward.
In the case of not being as strong as their opponents, Manchester United's players can only live to death, and Ferguson can only show his cards.
Fighting for midfield and defense, they can't fight, they can only put all their eggs in one basket on the way of offense, now, they are waiting for Sheffield United to make a move.
※※※
On the afternoon of December 12st, in the crowded Bramall Lane Stadium, while the players of both sides were still warming up, Speed finally released today's Sheffield United starting list.
Sheffield United did not choose their best [-], nor did they choose [-] with a more balanced offense and defense, but [-]!
Sheffield United, like Manchester United, chose a very aggressive four-three-three formation!
The reporters at the scene were in an uproar!
Fans from all walks of life directly fry the pot in the forum!
Sheffield United's starting three forwards have not changed much, they are still Bell, Li Mo and Joaquin.
But today's three midfielders did not start Medel, but sent a combination of Dembele and Matic Gadrinkwater.
Dembele Gade Linkwater, the offensive posture has been completely put on, Sheffield United is going to fight Manchester United today, there is no fear at all!
Such confidence made the blood of Sheffield United's home fans excited.
This is the fundamental reason why they love the team!
Whether it was in the low-level league before or now it is on the road to compete for the league championship, Sheffield United is still the team that is fearless and dares to face the enemy head-on!
Fans from other teams also applauded Speed for his boldness and bravery!
This is what the first battle should look like.
Without the determination to blast the opponent to death, if a strong team is on the defensive and plays counterattacks, the top team like that really has no momentum.
A real man has to go head-to-head with his opponent. The fans enjoy watching it, and the players who play the game don't have any regrets.
Regardless of whether you win or lose, fight with all your strength. If you win, you will enjoy it, and if you lose, you will have no regrets. This is the pinnacle of the Premier League!
At least for this moment, Speed and Sheffield United have won the respect of all fans, including Manchester United fans.
If Sheffield United counterattacks, it will be really difficult for Manchester United to deal with it, unless they also shrink their formation and give Sheffield United no chance to counterattack at all.
But that's not what United fans want to see, and that's not how United play.
Sheffield United chose to play against Manchester United, but Manchester United can give full play to their greatest advantages, so the current Manchester United fans are really convinced.
What is respect?Sheffield United This is called real respect!
If Manchester United still loses today, the fans of Manchester United will also recognize that Sheffield United has put the battlefield in the field that Manchester United is best at.
As the warm-ups of the two players finished, the game entered the final stage of preparation. The tense atmosphere began to gather in the sky over the Bramall Lane Stadium, and the ever-increasing ratings also announced that the game was getting more attention. What an exaggeration.
Li Mojing sat in his seat, changed his jersey, and checked the shin guards. He finally stood up, attracting the attention of all his teammates in the locker room.
After clapping his hands and motioning for everyone to gather around, Li Mo took a deep breath, and then slowly said:
"We have had a perfect early stage of the season, with [-] league games, [-] wins and one draw, and all four rounds of the Champions League group stage. More than a year ago, our wish is gradually being realized, and now the whole of Europe Know our names, guys, we're on to something big!
We still maintain an unbeaten record. We are invincible, defeated one opponent after another, and took the lead in breaking through in the Champions League. This is something to be proud of. I am proud of everything we have achieved. This is sincere. .
But now, I need you to temporarily forget the previous series of records, yes, those victories, those gorgeous data, they are just records, not achievements.
What are our achievements?It is a League Cup champion after being promoted to the Premier League, that's all. Of course, I believe that we will win more championships in the future, more heavyweight championships. We will all become champions and winners, but! "
Having said that, Li Mo paused for a moment, then raised the volume to remind everyone.
"Before you win those championships, promise me that you will forget the praise from the outside media and the series of achievements that don't make much sense. Before you hold the Premier League championship trophy in your arms, all the praises and exaggerated praises It's shit!
If we can't fight against Manchester United today, all the voices who praised us before the game will change their positions. They have praised us, and they can naturally turn their heads to praise Manchester United. This is the real football world, and this is the real face of those reporters and media.
So before this game starts, I need you to keep a clear head like me, we are not some so-called 'ring guards', we don't even have a fucking Premier League champion, why stand in the ring and wait The champion got a soft-handed Manchester United to challenge us?
Remember that hunger and thirst, remember the anger in our hearts after losing to Manchester United last season, as long as we don't win the Premier League title, then this hunger and anger will never disappear!We are always just one of the teams to challenge Manchester United!
If you want to become the new king, the first step must be to defeat the old king. I don't want to emphasize the importance of this game, because those damn media have already done a lot of publicity for us before the game.
Now I have only one request for you, calm down, as before, we are united and fight against Manchester United from the first second of the game until the final whistle!
If we win, then we will happily win together!If we lose, then at the end of the game, one of us can still stand on the field, that is an insult to the team!
Now, United sit high on a throne and ask us what we want.
unite!sacrifice!Fight until the last moment!Fucking Manchester United!This is our answer!
This is Sheffield United!
glory!glory! ! ! "
"Glory to Sheffield -!!!"
Li Mo, who was roaring, broke open the door of the dressing room and walked out first, while the other Sheffield United players followed closely behind him, roaring and filing out!
The huge movement and the hostile words mixed in it made the Manchester United players who were lining up glaring.
The angry Sheffield United players stared back, not to be outdone!
A strong smell of gunpowder immediately permeated the player channel.
If the referee team came over at this time, maybe the captains of both sides would come out and give a warning first.
Fortunately, Li Mo and Evra did not provoke each other too much at this time. When the captains of both sides signaled, the players on both sides had no choice but to snort coldly and stand in line.
The verbal prowess is only temporary, and it will still have to be seen on the field later, but in today's hot atmosphere, the scene when the game starts is already predictable.
After a while, members of the referee team came in and signaled for players from both sides to enter the field in an orderly manner.
The entire Bramall Lane Stadium also boiled up, and the hot home atmosphere made the fans and audience in front of the TV excited. They wished they could be at the scene, cheering wantonly with the fans around them!
The commentators from various countries started the pre-match introduction.
The formations of Manchester United and Sheffield United are almost exactly the same today.
However, Rooney did not appear on the front line, but replaced Scholes and appeared in the midfield. It seems that Ferguson also made a choice, sacrificing Rooney's scoring ability, and wanted him to help stabilize the midfield first. The situation is over.
"Manchester United and Sheffield United have formed a four-three-three formation today. The three strikers that Manchester United will start today are:
Ashley Young, Van Persie and Anderson.
In the midfield, Rooney and Fletcher acted as central midfielders, with Carrick as a single midfielder.
From left to right in defense: Evra, Evans, Ferdinand and Rafael.
De Gea is the goalkeeper.
Sheffield United's starting striker combination and defense personnel are not much different from the previous round of the league. The main change is still in the midfield.
Today Dembele and Drinkwater partnered to organize the offense, while Matic was behind the defense.
I have to say that Speed's formation is very bold, and he also trusts the offensive ability of his disciples very much."
In Zhan Jun's introduction, Huaguo fans also quickly understood the starting lineup and starting players of Manchester United and Sheffield United today.
For Speed's decision, neutral fans must support it, after all, fans like to watch the battle.
But the supporters of Sheffield United were sweating while being excited.
This season, Manchester United's offensive ability is second only to Sheffield United, and it is still slightly better than Manchester City. Although their defense will always make some unnecessary mistakes, they are not black in the offensive.
Van Persie's scoring ability is not as good as Li Mo, but he can always hit some magic shots, and all kinds of non-stop volley shots are easy to come by.
Sheffield United's main offense today will naturally give Van Persie more opportunities on the defensive end. If he really wants to make him feel good, then the game is really hard to say.
But now the fans of Sheffield United can only stand firmly beside Speed and the players to give support. The coach's decision has been made, and it is too late for this to change. The fans can only follow the team all the way to the dark. up.
At 17:30 in the afternoon, with the whistle of the referee, the focus of this Premier League battle finally kicked off.
Sheffield United, which sits at home, also made a bold attempt from the beginning.
After the kickoff, Drinkwater took possession of the ball and made a cross.
Dembele, who received the ball, returned the ball to Matic, who was lagging behind. The Manchester United players followed the tactics arranged before the game to press down. As a result, Matic passed the ball directly to the frontcourt with one kick!
Li Mo suddenly accelerated his running speed at this moment, and caught Manchester United's backcourt players by surprise. In the ensuing header fight, Li Mo, who rushed up, also overwhelmed Evans and successfully ferried the football to the left. Bell plugged in at high speed.
Had it not been for Manchester United's right back Raphael to foul Bell in time, then Sheffield United's sudden attack might have been successful.
You know, at that time, after Bell passed by, he was flat. If nothing else, at least he could get a chance to enter the penalty area.
So Li Mo directly appealed to the referee, Raphael's foul this time, it's not justified not to get a yellow card, right?
But the referee seemed to be hesitant, and finally reached out to signal players on both sides not to approach, but gave Sheffield United a free kick in the front court, and did not choose to show Rafael a yellow card.
The players of Sheffield United were naturally not satisfied, while the players of Manchester United said that the referee's penalty was fine, and the players of both sides became angry after pushing and shoving.
More than 3 Sheffield United fans at the scene also booed deafeningly.
In the end, under the stern warning and urging of the referee, Sheffield United took a set kick in the frontcourt and looked for offensive opportunities again, while Manchester United's players also launched an overall pressing and pressing, and the rhythm was raised immediately.
You can see such an exciting scene at the beginning, and the neutral fans are naturally hooked.
In the 4th minute of the first half, Li Mo retreated to catch the ball and forced a breakthrough to overturn Fletcher who was stuck in the defense. The referee called Sheffield United's offensive foul, and Speed questioned angrily on the sidelines.
In the 6th minute, Rooney shoveled and tripped Moussa Dembele, who was dribbling the ball. The referee gave Sheffield United a chance to set the ball in the front court. Ferguson also rushed to the sidelines to question the referee's blow penalty scale.
The fourth official was immediately paralyzed.
The game has only just started, why did the head coaches of both sides get him into trouble, the key is because this incident warned the coaches of both sides that he would have to be criticized by the fans of both sides, so he had to persuade them first.
The players on both sides are fully engaged in the game at this time. You attack and I come on the field, but you don't want to give the opponent a chance to calmly organize in the half, so the confrontation is very intense.
Li Mo, as the focus of Manchester United's defense players, played for less than 10 minutes, and his red and white jersey and shorts were all stained.
This kind of confrontation rhythm reminds Li Mo of the time when he was still in the British Championship two years ago.
It was not just as simple as dirtying the jersey, sometimes he even found shoe prints on his underwear when he changed his clothes after half a game.
Although the Manchester United players acted tough, they didn't kick him secretly today. This kind of intensity made Li Mo even more excited.
Speed used to always joke that Li Mo was a player from the old League One era, and his tough style was nothing like the current new generation of players.
Li Mo himself thinks so, he likes confrontation, likes the thrill of winning after head-to-head with his opponent, this is the sport that men should love.
So for those tough opponents, he will always have more respect.
Of course, being tough doesn't mean being dirty. If there are defensive players who dare to attack Li Mo or his teammates, De Jong, who broke his leg before, will be the only end for these players.
Although Fletcher and Carrick looked a bit soft, their styles were still very tough. Their active defense caused some interference to Li Mo, but in the face of Li Mo's strong physical fitness, they still quickly fell behind. downwind.
Under the current rhythm of confrontation, Sheffield United is naturally the more dominant side.
Even if Li Mo couldn't enter Manchester United's penalty area, his fulcrum role was very prominent, and Bell and Joaquin on both sides also got a lot of opportunities to advance.
In contrast, Manchester United's frontcourt offense is slightly more difficult.
Ashley Young's strength is still online. If standing in front of him is a big center, then he can actually make a fuss in Sheffield United's slightly empty wing today when he is covered.
However, although Van Persie did a good job of retreating to support and attacking with the ball, in positional battles, his back-up ability was limited when he encountered midfielders like Dembele and Matic.
Van Persie actually has the fulcrum ability, but the scorer.
You can ask him to carry an ordinary defender, but it’s okay to carry heavy midfielders like Matic and Dembele. It’s even worse when you meet Maguire. Today, the referee’s whistle was loose, and Van Persie fought several times The referee didn't say anything, which is really a bit of a disadvantage.
But if you give up, you will get something. Li Mo is the only one in today's football. Van Persie is not top-notch in terms of back and body, and he is not bad in other aspects.
But this time he really can't bring more tactical support to Manchester United's offense, he can only rely on Rooney's organization and the ability to find opportunities on the two sides.
At this time, Zhang Lu saw the tactical thinking of the two teams in the fierce competition, and also saw the opportunity of Sheffield United.
"Ferguson just wanted to use high-intensity confrontation and raised rhythm to increase Sheffield United's offensive turnover rate, but with the physical fitness of both players rapidly depleting, Sheffield United has one more team that can increase the overall offense." Li Mo has more tactical changes, and the second is that under the attention of Speed, the physical condition of Sheffield United players will be better.
For Manchester United, disrupting Sheffield United's offensive plan is good, but they can't hold each other for too long. If you continue to fight like this, it is you Manchester United who started the chaos, but whether it ends or not depends on Sheffield United! "
Speed obviously saw this too, but he felt that Ferguson's tactics would not be that simple.
It's a very simple truth. Ferguson uses an aging lineup to compete with Sheffield United. Why does he have such confidence?
Either there is no move, and Ferguson can only choose to use the physical fitness of the players in exchange for the stalemate on the field, or Ferguson is hiding a killer move!
Speed is definitely more inclined to the latter point of view. In the Premier League, any coach who dares to really underestimate Ferguson will definitely suffer a big loss.
However, when the No. 16 minute of the first half was played, the Manchester United players, who seemed a little weak just now, suddenly came forward with a wave of overall pressure. This sudden change made Speed's heart skip a beat.
Regardless of the loopholes in the backcourt defense, Manchester United's desperate forward pressure quickly formed a situation where they played more and less in local space. At this time, Sheffield United, who was fully committed to fighting Manchester United, was naturally slow in returning to defense.
Matic can only keep his position and keep retreating, while beckoning Dembele and Drinkwater to retreat quickly.
Bell ran back to the defense with all his strength on the left, but the speed of football delivery still made Sheffield United's retreat seem a little too late.
Standing on the sidelines, Ferguson stared nervously at the development of the situation on the field. This is his "ultimate move" carefully prepared for Sheffield United. It is very risky and hard work, but if it works, it will be very worthwhile.
Although the physical fitness of the veterans is a problem, it is no problem to execute tactics in this way less than half an hour after the start of the game.
And when everyone focused on Van Persie and the two forward wingers, Rooney who was hiding behind them would complete the fatal blow!
"Don't let me down, Wayne."
Ferguson watched Rooney, who was running towards the Sheffield United penalty area, clenched his hands unconsciously.
Since Ronaldo left, many newcomers have come to Manchester United year after year, but none of them have been able to play the dominance of Ronaldo in 08.
Going around and turning to the end, Rooney is still the only one who has supported Manchester United's striker and even midfielder in recent years.
Lu Xiaopang is clamoring for a high salary and an absolute core tactical position, but no matter what he does off the court, as long as he is on the court, he is definitely the one who wants to win the most in the Red Devils.
He went to cover the shortage of strikers, and he also went to cover the shortage of midfielders. His talent was wasted, and he had his own reasons, but Ferguson knew that he was also responsible.
But for Manchester United, he can only choose to sacrifice Rooney. Rooney also knows that he needs to make sacrifices, but he is willing to be the one who makes concessions for Manchester United.
Now, when someone needs to step up, Rooney has United on his shoulders once again.
He wants everyone to understand that Van Persie may be able to save the current Manchester United, but only he, Wayne Rooney, will give everything for Manchester United!
"The Red Devils' desperate counterattack! Ashley Young's dribbling speed is too fast! Dembele and Drinkwater have no time to return to the defense! Four on four in the frontcourt, Trippier is desperately chasing back, but it seems a bit It's too late!"
There was some anxiety in Zhan Jun's voice.
Especially after seeing Robin van Persie and Anderson following Ashley Young into Sheffield United's defensive third, he felt that Sheffield United would suffer a lot this time.
Van Persie raised his hand to ask for the ball, and at the same time inserted into the front of Sheffield United's penalty area. Ashley Young made a cross. Maguire could only stick close to Van Persie first, and get the position of Manchester United's top scorer. live.
But Ashley Young's foot did not hoist the ball into Sheffield United's penalty area, but swept it horizontally!
Vertonghen looked at Anderson. At this time, Rooney, who was running in front of the penalty area, was almost unguarded. Speed stood up from the coach's bench and turned pale with shock!
Not Van Persie, not Anderson, but Wayne Rooney who followed!
United fans jumped from their seats as they yelled "Shoot!"
Rooney decisively chose to shoot furiously in the penalty area, without giving Sheffield United's other defensive players too much time to think.
This shot was crushed by Rooney, and there was no possibility of missing the goal frame.
With the sound of the wind, the unstoppable momentum, and the hope of all Manchester United fans, the whistling football almost went straight to the dead corner of the upper left corner of the goal!
But just as the football was about to enter the net in the upper left corner of the Sheffield United goal, a palm that was struggling to appear in the sight of all fans blocked its way forward!
Sommer, the goalkeeper who has been known by the fans for his stable performance after his transfer to Sheffield United, today made all the Premier League fans realize why Sheffield United only introduced him as a young goalkeeper. After that, the signings were stopped.
That figure, who was not tall compared to other goalkeepers, seemed to be transformed into a wall of sighs in front of Sheffield United's gate at this moment!
His magical pounce stopped the cheers of Manchester United fans who had already reached their lips!
Rooney's eyes widened in disbelief!
Van Persie hugged his head and couldn't even grab the second point in the first place!
Ferguson's hands trembled, looking at the empty half of the field, he closed his eyes in pain!
"Sommer! Sommer --!!! The Swiss goalkeeper denied Rooney's shot! He saved Sheffield United! He saved the entire Sheffield United defense!!! Maguire took the ball first and kicked it out Well, this attack and defense is not over yet! Will Sheffield United have a chance to counterattack?!"
In the commentary of Zhan Jun's angry voice, Maguire's big foot cleared and drove straight towards the top of the center circle. The Manchester United players seemed to wake up at this time, and began to retreat in a panic.
Sheffield United's counterattack is no joke. Once Bell or Li Mo get the ball in Manchester United's half, it will be a disaster for Manchester United!
Matic withstood Fletcher, who kept interfering with him, and smoothly passed the ball to Drinkwater, who was not far from his side at this time and had already switched from defense to offense.
Bell, who had just sprinted back to his own half, had no time to catch his breath at this moment, and began to accelerate in reverse with all his strength.
Drinkwater didn't wait for Bell to increase his speed, and passed the ball directly to Joaquin who retreated to catch the ball.
Li Mo put his head down and started running wildly. After Joaquin retreated, he directly occupied the position on the right side, which was convenient for the teammates who received the ball behind to make a pass choice.
At this moment, there was only Evra trailing behind him. Seeing this, Joaquin sent a through ball directly along the sideline!
"Li Mo is rushing! He is competing with Evra for speed. The 31-year-old Manchester United captain is no match for him! Joaquin's through ball!"
The Sheffield United fans at the scene saw their own counterattack immediately after experiencing the shock. For a while, many people held their hearts.
But seeing Li Mo passing Evra to catch the ball and scoring into Manchester United's defensive third almost in an instant, the fans immediately ignored their heart problems and broke out into huge cheers and screams Voice!
While running at high speed, Li Mo cut the ball horizontally and directly entered his range.
Bell continued to grit his teeth and accelerate on the left, and he was about to overtake Rafael and insert into Manchester United's penalty area!
Evans had to retreat to stare at Bell, while Ferdinand stuck in position following Li Mo's movements, and did not give Li Mo a chance to shoot.
Just when everyone was looking at Li Mo, waiting for him to make a choice of shooting or passing, he changed direction and also entered the penalty area of Manchester United. Under the explosion, his movements were extremely fast, and Ferdinand was directly given by him. Left behind!
The angle is a bit small, but there is almost no interference from anyone on both sides. This kind of opportunity is enough for Li Mo!
He swung his right thigh back high, exposing his strong thigh muscles, as if exposing a ferocious gun barrel!
In the blink of an eye, Li Mo shot with all his strength, even in the penalty area, he refused to let go of half of his strength.
And under the action of this terrifying force, the football whizzed out violently!
Either go into the net, or fly over the crossbar and fly towards the stands. There are only two possibilities for this kind of shot, and the goalkeeper can't catch it at all!
Even if the peak Casillas and Buffon stand in front of the goal today, they can't catch it!
De Gea's goal line skills are very strong, but he can't see the trajectory of this ball at all.
Almost relying on instinctive consciousness, he rushed to the far corner, but De Gea had just jumped up and stretched out his arms, and he could already hear the crisp sound of the football hitting the net in his ears!
He looked back, and the football blocked by the net was unwillingly falling into the goal. At this moment, Li Mo had roared ferociously and rushed under the turbulent fan stands!
"Li Mo's shot——!!! The ball went in! The ball went in——!!! This is a burst shot that can hardly see the flight trajectory! De Gea has no way at all! Sheffield United is leading! One time Enough exciting transition of offense and defense! Sommer saved Sheffield United! Li Mo stabbed Manchester United to bleed! This is Sheffield United! This is Sheffield United's counterattack!!!”
Amidst the 3 Sheffield United fans roaring and celebrating at the Bramall Lane Stadium, Ferguson's eyes suddenly went into a trance.
He seems to have seen the high-spirited self back then, leading a group of young lads, charging into battle at Old Trafford, defeating one team after another.
At that time, Liverpool was sitting high on the throne, and Manchester United led by him was just like Sheffield United now, preparing to kill the king with a sword!
History is really like a strange circle. The road they traveled back then is now embarked on the same journey by another young team.
Li Mo's goal seemed to tell him cruelly but calmly:
Your time is over!
