Chapter 289 Whether you can qualify or not depends on the face of Sheffield United
This is a goal that broke Manchester United's morale, and it is also a classic goal that will definitely be talked about by fans for many years.

At this moment, van Persie, who was standing with arms akimbo at the Sheffield United half, looked at the back of Li Mo with his arms open in celebration, as if he saw an impassable mountain!
Not long after he scored a fairy ball, he was about to pull the Manchester United players to launch the final charge, and Li Mo stood up.

Not only responded to his goal, but also abruptly fought back Manchester United's gradual offensive.

Van Persie was confused.

After years of ups and downs, he feels he has finally reached the pinnacle of his career.

It's just that this peak came too late. When it was too late, he had to betray the love of the Gunners fans, Wenger's trust, and bear the name of a traitor, just to be in the best and last few seasons. Fight for a heavyweight championship trophy.

But now, looking at Sheffield United's young and passionate players, watching Li Mo, who abruptly snatched the Premier League Golden Boot from him in the second half of last season.

Suddenly, Van Persie felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

If he can't win the championship, what's the point of the price he paid and the difficult decision he made?

If he is really doomed not to win the championship, then he would rather keep this last spark at Arsenal, and he would rather give everything for Wenger, but this is no longer possible.

After making a decision, there is only one way to go to the end, and he has no choice.

Also confused were the other Manchester United players on the pitch at the moment.

The process of building a dynasty is always exciting and rewarding.

But when they are in a period when the dynasty is declining or even about to be destroyed, the huge sense of loss is enough to make most people in the team feel unbalanced.

Only a few veterans can see through this historical cycle, such as Giggs and Scholes.

They have all experienced several periods of Manchester United's strength and decline, and they have won enough honors in their careers, and they have already seen it.

But other players who are still relatively young cannot accept the fact that Manchester United's dominance has been broken.

They only succeeded in defending the league title last season. Before this season, they also gathered together and vowed to establish another three consecutive championships of Manchester United.

But in this game, after being beaten on the ground by Sheffield United and Li Mo again and again, this group of Manchester United players could only passively recognize the fact that their overall strength is not as good as Sheffield United.

To put it bluntly, it was almost crushed.

Sheffield United gave up their adept strangle tactics in the midfield and set up a posture to fight against Manchester United, but even so, Manchester United still could not occupy the initiative on the field.

Sheffield United is not as good as the abuse of food, and the scene of playing against strong teams is not as good as Sheffield United. Now they have lost confidence because of Sheffield United. What can they do to compete with Sheffield United for the championship?

Do you expect Sheffield United to encounter extensive injuries in the middle and late stages of the league?

Or do you expect Speed ​​to use his brains and energy to fight for the Champions League and the FA Cup?

Manchester United's players can't think of the possibility that Sheffield United will not give up other redundant cups to keep the league.

For things that are certain, you can have a little expectation and fantasy, but if you really want to regard this as a life-saving straw, it is no different from deceiving yourself.

In this moment of pain and confusion, Manchester United's players had to persevere.

There may be a turnaround, but with Li Mo and other Sheffield United offensive players playing so well, the possibility of a turnaround is very small.

Strive for a standing and dying ending!
※※※

When the game resumed, Manchester United's players launched a desperate final charge.

Ferguson brought on Cleverley and Hernandez in his final madness.

But Speed ​​did not want to give Manchester United a chance to die.

Up to now, there are still ten minutes before the end of the game. Sheffield United has proved its strength to the outside world.

There was no need to take any more risks, and Speed ​​also began to interrupt Manchester United's offensive rhythm with substitutions one after another.

De Bruyne replaced Joaquin and Medel replaced Dembele, strengthening Sheffield United's running and interception capabilities in the midfield.

For the last substitution, Speed ​​replaced Matt Ridge with Creswell, increasing the defensive strength on the left.

Even if he wanted to provide insurance on the defensive end, Speed ​​did not directly ask the players to give up the midfield. Instead, he tried his best to strangle Manchester United's offensive outside his own defensive third area.

The energetic Medel cooperated with Matic and Drinkwater to build an interception dam in front of the penalty area, making it very difficult for Manchester United's offensive players to advance.

Because of the change into a four-two-four formation, Rooney was pushed to the front line to partner with Van Persie, and Manchester United's midfield defense became more and more empty.

Cleverley also needs to complete the task of advancing with the ball, so Manchester United's backcourt is almost only left with Fletcher as a defensive midfielder. This style of play is very risky.

Although Li Mo also participated in the team's defense at this time, he saw the emptiness of Manchester United's defense. If he could make use of it, he would counterattack again and the game would be over.

Bale has been cruising around the center line, putting pressure on Manchester United's defense, forcing their full-backs not to press all the way across the half.

Seeing this, Li Mo simply went to the other end of Manchester United's weak defense and stood opposite Bell.

In this way, as long as there is a chance later, the Sheffield United players in the backcourt will have at least two passing directions to choose from.

And in the No.90 two minutes before the end of the final, after De Bruyne stretched out his foot in the rib area and stabbed Rooney's dribble, Li Mo stood directly on the right side and raised his hand to signal.

Medel, who had grabbed the ball, did not hesitate when he saw this, and directly hit behind Li Mo and Evra with a long pass!

At this time, when fighting for speed, Li Mo naturally had an absolute advantage. After overtaking abruptly, before Evra fouled and stopped him, Li Mo directly completed a large-scale transfer cross on the ground without stopping the ball. !
This pass is quite rough, but the general direction is no problem. Ferdinand and Evans have nothing to do with the speedy Bell. Rafael can only chase back desperately at this time, but Bell is big. After catching up with the football step by step, he decisively cut into the Manchester United penalty area.

Facing the attacking De Gea, Bale simply shot a burst with his left foot!
When the football flew under the far corner of the United goal again, everyone knew that the game was over.

Ferguson watched the scoreboard become 4-1 with a blank face, and did not take any action.

Panting, Ferdinand bent over in the penalty area and closed his eyes in pain. He has never hated the decline of his physical function as much as today.

De He climbed up from the turf numbly. He really tried his best today, but Sheffield United's goals were either single-handed or Li Mo's almost unsolvable shot. It would be difficult for any goalkeeper to keep Manchester United today. The goal is not conceded.

Rooney kept shaking his head with his hips on his hips, and behind him, the Sheffield United fans in the stands had already started celebrating in advance.

ended.

After Manchester United kicked off again, Fletcher only had time to drive the football towards the Sheffield United half before the referee on duty blew the whistle for the end of the game.

In front of the lonely Manchester United players, there are Sheffield United players who roared up to the sky or raised their arms and shouted excitedly; Filipino fans!
Li Mo, who completed two passes and two shots, naturally once again became the focus of attention of the reporters.

Li Mo casually stroked his sweat-drenched hair, and with a satisfied smile on his face, he also took the initiative to accept the reporters' interview requests for the first time.

Faced with such a good thing, the reporters naturally didn't want to let it go, so they rushed over and surrounded Li Mo in an instant.

At this time, in the entire English football world, and even the entire European football world, fans expressed their excitement and opinions online one after another as the focus of the Premier League battle came to an end.

"The so-called top game in the Bundesliga today is shit! Brothers, I only had time to watch the last [-] minutes of Sheffield United's performance. Fortunately, I didn't miss Li's shocking barb! But listen to them in the first half The confrontation scene between the two teams is also very exciting, I feel like I missed a hundred million!"

"I didn't expect Bayern Munich to draw 0-0 with Dortmund in the end. It's too dull! Brother, I understand your feelings, and comfort from Bundesliga fans!"

"Today's game is definitely the most exciting confrontation in the Premier League this season! Manchester United is really unlucky. If Rooney scored the goal in the first half, the scene of the game should be even better! It's a pity that Li's strength is really great. It's horrible, two passes and two shots, he dominated the game, he definitely has the level of the third player in football, maybe next season, he can really challenge Messi and Ronaldo."

"No, no, no, you can't put Ronaldo and Messi together, Messi is unique! He is about to win his fourth Ballon d'Or at the end of this year! Ronaldo is just barely close to Messi Why do you think he is a player at the same level as Messi? Li should beat Ronaldo first and then challenge Messi."

"Maybe, huh? Mr. Golden Ball without a major championship? Mr. Golden Ball eliminated by an old Chelsea? To be honest, I don't deny Messi's performance in recent years, but he seems a bit too mythical. If big Luo Sheng is in this era, so his scoring statistics will only be better than Messi's!"

"Fack squid! You this"

When the topic involves Melo, crooked buildings are naturally unavoidable. After all, Melo's traffic has been interrupted in football in the past few years, especially when Messi is about to win the Golden Ball four times in a row. .

Li Mo's supporters saw that Melo's fans were arguing again, and they seemed to be bragging about Li Mo's topic for a fight, so they hurried to other forums to avoid being hurt by AOE.

Melo's fans are all over the world, and football forums in various countries will not be peaceful when there is a quarrel.

But at least for now in English football, Li Mo's basic set is already quite solid, even fans of Messi and Ronaldo can't shake his high popularity.

And after Li Mo dominated all the hot topics in English football overnight, Di Matteo abruptly snatched part of the heat from Li Mo.

Foshuai was fired anyway.

After losing 15-0 to West Ham United in the No.4 round of the Premier League, Chelsea's top management finally lost all patience with Di Matteo and officially announced his dismissal.

It seems that after some twists and turns, the history of football has the possibility to walk on the road in Li Mo's memory.

Of course, this time Chelsea gave Di Matteo more time, but Di Matteo, like Li Mo remembered, still failed to grasp the opportunity to change his destiny.

Chelsea's road to reconstruction was interrupted again. It seems that Mourinho's return is destined in the dark.

But before Mourinho returns, Benitez doesn't have to go to Chelsea's muddy water anymore.

Not long ago, Manchester City officially announced that Benitez, who was fired by Inter Milan, will coach Blue Moon until the end of the season. Naturally, Chelsea can no longer invite the former Liverpool tactician.

In the rumors of coach selection, many well-known reporters broke the news that Mancini, who has been at home for more than half a year, seems to have initially signed an agreement with Chelsea.

When the news came out, Li Mo, who was resting at home, was stunned.

This is not a mess, it is simply a super big change, okay!

He can understand that Benitez went to Manchester City. After all, Manchester City urgently needs to find a capable coach to lead Manchester City to continue to compete in the Premier League after firing the previous acting coach.

After looking around, Benitez, who has no contract now, is the most suitable. He has experience in coaching Premier League teams and has made achievements in La Liga before.

It just so happens that many of the core players in the Manchester City team have played in La Liga. From this point of view, it is perfect for Benitez to finish the season.

Li Mo never expected Mancini to go to Chelsea.

Chelsea is currently rebuilding, and Mancini's previous rebuilding experience in Manchester City seems to have allowed him to quickly gain the trust of Abramovich.

So now there are many interesting possibilities.

If Mancini's rebuilding job is good, assuming he can stay at Chelsea, where will Mourinho at Real Madrid go if he leaves next summer?

Chelsea in Mourinho's second period is extremely competitive. If Mourinho does not return to Chelsea, then Sheffield United's road to dominance will undoubtedly become smoother.

Of course, with the current Premier League structure being gradually changed beyond recognition, Mourinho and his Real Madrid may not necessarily encounter Dortmund this season.

Even if they run into Dortmund, in the case of the butterfly effect brought by Li Mo, maybe Real Madrid can pass this level?

Bayern in the final?
It's really hard to say who wins and who loses.

If Real Madrid wins the Champions League one year in advance, then Mourinho is likely to stay in Real Madrid.

As for what huge changes will happen to European football after this series of changes, it is hard for Li Mo to guess.

In other words, Real Madrid, which won the Champions League four times in five years, may not appear again. Suarez may not go to Barcelona to form an MSN combination with Messi and Neymar. Juventus is also likely to be in such a mess. Get a Champions League title.
There are too many possibilities, and different changes will bring different results. Li Mo doesn't want to waste his brainpower to calculate, he only knows one thing, after losing control of "history", he and Sheffield United can only rely on Use hard power to win one championship after another.

And this kind of future is very interesting. When Li Mo thinks that he may compete with the completely different Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Champions League, and may encounter a stronger Juventus or Bayern Munich, his heart becomes more and more fiery.

Since he is determined to defeat Messi and Ronaldo, what these two can do, he should do the same, and do better!

At the beginning, Messi and Ronaldo didn't know what kind of opponents they would face. They fought one after another and finally won the championship. It took countless powerful enemies to stand on the top of Europe.

Of course, Li Mo has to go through this kind of tempering before he can be considered qualified to win the Golden Ball. Therefore, no matter whether the football history in his mind changes or not, his goal is fixed, and the path to take is also fixed.

Compared with the familiar teams, unknown enemies can bring Li Mo more excitement and desire to challenge.

Of course, the event of Mancini joining Chelsea seems to be a normal thing for other industry insiders at the moment.

Except for Li Mo, no one will be much shocked by this news.

The days are still going on, and the leagues of various countries are also in full swing. In the gap between the leagues, the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage is coming.

Because Manchester United and Sheffield United have already qualified from the top of the group stage ahead of schedule, they have sent out a rotation lineup for this round of the Champions League.

The main players of Sheffield United used up a lot of physical energy in the battle with Manchester United, and they just took a rest. The main players of Manchester United also took this opportunity to forget the pain of being blown up by Sheffield United.

Of course, teams like them are in the minority after all. Even if other strong teams have won the right to qualify, they still have to fight for the top spot in the last two rounds of the UEFA Champions League group stage. The burden on their shoulders is too heavy.

But with the idea of ​​not wanting to meet Sheffield United in the first round of the knockout round, many teams can only desperately grab points in the last two rounds of the Champions League group stage.

Even teams such as Real Madrid and Bayern, who were very confident in their own strength before, have increased their vigilance after watching Sheffield United beat Manchester United.

After all, Manchester United was the team that broke into the Champions League final last year, and their performance in the Champions League group stage this year is also relatively impressive. Such a veteran giant was beaten 4-1 by Sheffield United. Anyone who read it must be right The strength of Sheffield United will be reassessed.

With regard to UEFA's pissed lottery, you sometimes think that he will be more stable and recommend the giants to enter the quarter-finals, but he just wants to play a whole game for you and stage a strong dialogue in advance.

Sheffield United's performance this year is outstanding enough, and they are also very strong in the group stage.

UEFA really can't say that it will arrange Sheffield United in advance to give Huang Saren a try, so the three teams still want to be on the safe side and get the top spot in the group first.

At present, Bayern and Barcelona are in a better situation. There are not many strong teams in their group, but Real Madrid has to strive for a complete victory in the last two rounds of the Champions League group stage to be sure of qualifying for the top spot.

After all, Dortmund is still overpowering Real Madrid. In the last two rounds, Real Madrid may completely lose the initiative if there is a tie in the last two rounds.

The key is that Dortmund does not want to take the risk of being arranged by UEFA to be the inspector, so they must also go all out in the last two rounds of the group stage and strive to get the first place in the group.

So in the rest of the Champions League group stage, Group D, the death group, has received attention from the beginning of the season to the end of the group stage, and it is the first tier.

Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund may fight to the end of the group finale for the first place in the group, which also made countless fans hooked.

On Sheffield United's side, after the main players were rested, Speed ​​took a vote to sit at home and ushered in the challenge of Montpellier.

At present, Montpellier has no possibility of qualifying for the group stage, so the players who came to the away game did not have much effort. Compared with the UEFA Champions League, they are obviously more focused on the Ligue [-]. ranking in .

On the other side, the direct dialogue between Schalke 04 and Olympiacos is obviously going to be much more intense.

At present, Sheffield United has secured the first place in Group B. Olympiacos has six points, while Schalke 04 has four points. If Olympiacos wins this game, Schalke 04 can only fight for the third kick. The chances of the Europa League, if Schalke 04 wins, then in the last round they will have to look at the face of Sheffield United.

If Sheffield United does not release water, even if it only draws with Olympiacos, then Schalke 04 will be able to reach the top [-] of the Champions League as long as they draw with Montpellier in the final round.

But if Sheffield United sent a pure substitute to lose to Olympiacos in the final round, then even if Schalke 04 wins Olympiacos this round, they must beat Montpellier in the final round to qualify.

Compared with Schalke 04, Olympiacos still holds a certain amount of initiative. As long as they win Schalke 04 in this game, they will have the right to qualify.

Of course, if they accidentally lose, it will be the same as Schalke 04, and they have to watch Sheffield United's face in the last round.

This situation makes the players of Sheffield United feel quite interesting.

Speed ​​also seemed very playful in the interview with the German reporter before the game.

Left and right is a matter of raising one's hand, but the old handsome guy still remembers the Schalke 04 fans harassing the Sheffield United players to rest.

If he gets upset and sends a pure substitute to lose at home to Olympiacos in the last round, the German media can't blame him.

However, in the face of compliments from many German reporters, the old handsome guy still said some scene words, and called on the reporters to focus on the match between Sheffield United and Montpellier.

After all, you Schalke 04 have to fight Olympiacos first, and if you lose, just let it go, and wait until you win Olympiacos to please!
Li Mo and Maguire were a little bored at home, so they discussed the effect of the whole program.

Before the start of the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage on the night of the 5th, they each tweeted, but one of them cheered for Olympiacos and the other cheered for Schalke 04.

Fans of Sheffield United saw that the Gemini stars in the team were active, and then joined in the excitement. After a while, the tweets of the two broke through a thousand.

Sheffield United's main players who are resting today naturally knew about Li Mo's and Maguire's recuperation projects in advance.

They negotiated to join different camps respectively, forwarded their tweets, and the effect of the whole work was quite good, attracting fans of the two teams to come and leave messages to say good things about Sheffield United.

After more than 90 minutes of fierce fighting, Sheffield United's rotation players first drew 1-1 with Montpellier. The players left Sheffield with their heads held high.

However, Olympiacos lost 0-1 to Schalke 04 on the other side, so they gave up the initiative!

For a while, the sports media in Greece and Germany began to speak out for the favor of Sheffield United.

Li Mo also laughed after watching the game.

"Well, it really depends on our faces whether they can qualify now~"
