opening a balotelli

Chapter 296 Lu Hanhan, the center has to play like this
The temperature in Switzerland in January is still relatively low, but at the Zurich International Exhibition Center tonight, the rows of fans waiting outside the venue are full of enthusiasm.

As an annual grand event in the international football world, today's major clubs and major leagues have their own stars and coaches coming to participate in the grand ceremony.

And many superstars who have retired are also invited to come here today, making countless fans dazzled.

The fans who can stand on both sides of the red carpet are undoubtedly the happiest, because not only can they have the opportunity to interact with the stars, but if they are lucky, they may get autographs of several stars tonight.

Messi and Ronaldo are of course the most anticipated ones here, followed by Li Mo, but none of the three have shown up yet.

Although the stars who walked the red carpet in front of them are also among the top figures in various positions in today's football, the fans obviously want to see the appearance of those three men.

Finally, when their feet were getting a little sore, Ronaldo and his girlfriend Elena first appeared in the sight of the fans, which caused the crowd outside the venue to become commotion.

Many people were shouting Ronaldo's name excitedly.

However, Ronaldo didn't take his girlfriend directly to the red carpet, but waited for a while.

After a while, another Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the venue, and the appearance of Li Mo and Mendes made the scene restless.

When the four walked onto the red carpet side by side hand in hand, the fans outside the red carpet shouted wildly and stretched out the footballs or hats they prepared in advance to the two stars, hoping that they could put their own handwriting on them sign.

Almost all the reporters at the scene also pointed their cameras at Ronaldo and Li Mo on the field. They never expected that these two big stars would attend together tonight!
Mendes was pleased with the sensational effect it had caused.

Although Messi is the protagonist tonight, but in terms of the sensational appearance alone, once the two aces in his hand are played, Messi will have to bow down.

When it comes to publicity, it's not Mendes who is boasting, and other agents are not his opponents at all.

It's not on the same level, so let's hang it directly.

And Li Mo was covering his mouth with Ronaldo, both of them looked very relaxed, and Ronaldo put his hand on Li Mo's shoulder from time to time and laughed silly, the two seemed to get along surprisingly well.

Sign autographs, take photos, and accept interviews.

After completing this series of procedures, Li Mo felt that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

To be honest, today's red carpet walk was completely different from what he expected, and they didn't arrive at the venue just now, they had already "rehearsed" in the afternoon.

Not only him and Ronaldo, but also Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Ramos, they all went to the venue in advance to go through the process, and they have already met each other.

Like a curious baby, Li Mo also asked Ronaldo if he had any "script" arrangements, which amused all the superstars who had already known the process.

However, the joke he made quickly narrowed the distance between him and these stars who have been famous for many years.

After a brief exchange with many bigwigs, Li Mo turned his attention to Neymar who was on the sidelines.

Today's Ma'er's face is still a little green, and his figure is also very thin. It seems that there are not many shadows of Melo's successor in later generations.

He is still playing in the Brazilian league. Although he is already famous, he has not yet registered in European football. Obviously, he cannot be compared with Li Mo in terms of fame.

Therefore, facing Li Mo's initiative to approach and talk, Neymar also seemed very happy.

After all, the current Li Mo is slightly inferior to Messi and Ronaldo in terms of reputation. He is recognized as the future "Melo successor" and has enough coffee. Maer feels that such a superstar is willing to make friends with him. He has a lot of face.

Li Mo was still very curious about football in Brazil. It happened that Neymar was very talkative. The two asked questions one by one, and they both chatted very happily in the end.

So after the red carpet was over, Li Mo waited for a while, and waved to Neymar after seeing Neymar appearing.

Seeing that Li Mo was waiting for him, Ma'er burst into a smile, and entered the venue with Li Mo after walking the red carpet.

Compared to going with their agent to meet some so-called bosses they didn't know at all, the two big boys obviously prefer to sit and chat with new friends.

It’s really a good thing to say that Li Mo first taught himself Spanish in order to facilitate communication with Medel. This summer, when Li Mo had nothing to do in the special training, he started to learn Portuguese by himself, which has many similarities with Spanish. It's really not good to initiate a conversation with Neymar.

When the audience was full, Li Mo could only bid farewell to Neymar, because he was going to the backstage to prepare for the first climax of the awards ceremony.

That is the award for the best 11 players of the year.

When he went to the backstage, Messi, Ronaldo, Iniesta and Casillas were already making preparations, and at this time countries all over the world also started live broadcasting the FIFA annual ceremony.

It was late at night in Huaguo, but Li Mo's attendance and the convincing news of the award made many fans choose to stay up late to watch the live broadcast.

He Wei was also very excited to introduce the grand occasion of tonight's ceremony to the audience. After a while, following the introduction of the hostess on the scene, Casillas took the lead on the stage, making Huaguo fans look forward to it for several days. The scene finally came.

"The first player to play is Iker Casillas. The main goalkeeper of Real Madrid has been in a bit of a bad situation in the past half month, but this does not prevent him from being nominated for the best eleven in 2012"

As one star after another came to the stage, the mood of Huaguo fans became more and more excited. After Messi played, when the hostess read Li Mo's name, I don't know how many fans in Huaguo shouted excitedly. Voice.

"Li Mo! Our little Li has successfully stood on the stage of the best 11-man awards! His personal data in the whole year of last year is overwhelming all the centers in football except him! It's a pity for Falcao , but I just want to say that Li Mo deserves his name! Because it was not the fans who voted him for this position, it was [-] professional players who chose him! This is an objective recognition of his personal strength! Congratulations Li Mo! "

He Wei's proud words made Huaguo fans feel extremely transparent.

Yes, Li Mo did not rely on the power of the fans to beat Falcao and Ibrahimovic to that position, he was recognized by his peers, and he was pushed to that position by professional players.

As the center with the best performance on the field last year, the most gorgeous personal data, and the most capable of fighting tough battles.

Li Mo deserves his name!
As the freshly released photo of the best 11 people spread on the Internet, Li Mo can be considered to have confirmed the title of "the man who fights against the Western Super League" given to him by the media before.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are outrageous, and they each occupy five positions, leaving nothing for the other giants.

If it weren't for Li Mo occupying a spot, then this year's FIFA awards ceremony would really be a pork-sharing conference in La Liga.

While the fans were discussing enthusiastically, Li Mo, who had finished taking a photo, also stepped off the podium.

That's all for his role tonight, and then there will be FIFA's cake-sharing conference and the announcement of the Golden Globe winner at the finale.

And Li Mo didn't have any big surprises when he estimated his final Ballon d'Or ranking. He ranked ninth this year, and Van Persie was just below him, just hanging on the tenth side.

If it weren't for the European Cup in 12, his ranking might still be one or two higher, but because of the three consecutive Spanish competitions, no matter how good his statistics are, facing Casillas, Iniesta and Xavi He can only lean back for these three big guys.

Messi's four Golden Globes in a row almost monopolized the Golden Globe Awards. The next day, major newspapers and periodicals reported this incident. For a while, the discussion about how far Messi is from being crowned world champion was brought up by the media again. countertop.

The other stars were subconsciously ignored. Ronaldo must feel very unwilling about this, but Li Mo felt that it was rare to be quiet.

After exchanging contact information with Neymar and other big shots, after having lunch with Ronaldo and Mendes the next day, Li Mo boarded the plane with Charlie and returned to England.

The follow-up two-person commercial with Ronaldo will wait until the summer offseason. Now Li Mo needs to return to Sheffield to start preparing for the follow-up league.

The No.20 second round of the Premier League will start on January 1th. Speed ​​has already taken the rotation lineup to challenge the opponents in the semi-finals of the League Cup away.

The entire Sheffield United team is running in an orderly manner like a clockwork. The current situation of the third-line battle makes all the players live a fulfilling life every day. Under this enrichment, they are full of ambitions and ambitions for the championship. eager.

On the night of January 1, Speed ​​led the rotation of Sheffield United players to a 8-4 away victory over Brentford, almost stepping into the final stage with one foot.

In the previous third round of the FA Cup on January 1, Sheffield United also defeated Crawley from League One 5-3, and firmly entered the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Steady progress is being made on all fronts, and the good state of Sheffield United has attracted the attention of the entire English football world.

The fans are more feeling that Speed's arrangement of the team rotation is very scientific, but other clubs are starting to worry.

They can't compete for the league championship, but won't they lose their share in the FA Cup and League Cup this year?

Seeing that Sheffield United is about to enter the League Cup final, and now Sheffield United does not want to let go of the FA Cup. If Sheffield United wins the three major championships in England this year, then the other Premier League teams will drink The northwest wind is going.

But they are worried about theirs, but the players of Sheffield United don't care about some gossip from the outside world.

They are not rich and powerful, what kind of demeanor do they want?
The club has a history of more than a hundred years, and there are only a few championship trophies. Now that they have the opportunity to win the championship, they must of course win as many as possible.

It's a good year, but maybe next year we won't be able to watch England's domestic cup competitions, and then let other teams compete.

Holding the mentality of "we want them all", the Sheffield United team ushered in the No.20 second round of the Premier League with high morale.

Li Mo took a look, yo, old acquaintance, are you here again, little monster?

But now Lukaku is not as confident as he was when he met Sheffield United in the first half of the season. Before the game, he insisted that he still needs to learn more from Li Mo. His naive temperament made many fans feel this way. The child is very honest.

But Speed ​​will not have any underestimation of West Bromwich Albion because of Hanhan's humility.

Although the ranking has dropped a bit compared to the first half, West Bromwich Albion is still in the top six and may replace Everton and enter the European theater at any time. There is a set of tactics.

At least West Bromwich Albion is fully qualified to be a shit-bomber. Neither the Manchester City duo nor Chelsea dare to pat their chests and say that they can guarantee three points on West Bromwich Albion. The first round of the league almost overturned, now is the time to be vigilant.

Lukaku, like Li Mo, is not yet 20 years old. He has scored [-] goals in the Premier League this season. It's really leveraged, and the shot after rushing up is also said.

Speed ​​naturally has to focus on arranging tactical marking for him, but after studying Lukaku's playing habits, Speed ​​also made difficulties.

Because Lukaku's style has gradually emerged after half a season of honing.

Wide range of activities, likes to play and cooperate with teammates, fast speed, strong impact, these seem to be the advantages of a modern center.

But this kid's strengths are all revealed when he pulls the side or fights a counterattack. He rarely occupies the center and fights with the center back in a static situation.

So you say arrange central defenders and defensive midfielders to restrict him. He doesn't play much in this defense zone, but arrange wide players to restrict him. He is too big. Matt Ridge and Trippier face one-on-one. He might really suffer.

At this time, Lukaku seems to have grown a lot compared to when he met in the first half. At that time, being able to defend the wing does not mean that he can be defended now. Speed ​​still likes to look at it from a developmental perspective. young players.

Didn't Li Mo grow up every two months, every two months?

After much deliberation, Speed ​​and the coaching team finally came up with a way to let the defense rehearse the tactics for two days.

At 1:12 on the afternoon of January 15th, when Sheffield United's starting lineup came out, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were very surprised to see Speed's arrangement today.

At this time, fans from all walks of life in the Premier League are also very strange, because Speed ​​has come up with a set of defense combinations that he has never used before.

Vertonghen played at left back, Matthew Lorton played at right back, Maguire and Stones partnered at centre-back.

Matt Ridge and Trippier are on the bench today. The key is that there was no news of their injuries before the game, so the fans don't know what Speed's intention of arranging the defense line like this is.

But when the game started, it didn't take long for the fans watching the game to react.

Zhan Jun even watched Lukaku's attempts to attack on the left and right flanks failed, and then praised:

"It turns out that Speed ​​is here waiting for Lukaku to jump into the pit! Ah, today the little monster was manipulated by Speed ​​again, and his habit of pulling changes really needs to be changed, although the defense players of other clubs It is not as abundant as Sheffield United, and the types of players are not as rich, but once targeted tactics are arranged for him on the wing, he might as well return to the center to play for his teammates."

Zhang Lu was also scratching his head, looking at the picture of Lukaku giving his teammates the habitual thumbs up with a strange expression.

"If you want to say that your body is not good enough, I can understand it. I have watched Lukaku's games several times this season. His physique is so good, and his momentum is amazing. I don’t want to develop more in the middle. I can practice if the header is not good. Standing in the middle is not only a header. You stand up to your own size and resist the defensive pressure of the central defender to play the ball, or to grab points. , it’s all possible, I don’t understand this guy.”

Zhang Lu said that he did not understand Lukaku's playing habits and choices at all, but let alone him, in another ten years, fans would not be able to understand Lukaku's playing choices.

If he could really understand, Lu Yuanwai would not have so many stalks.

This is Lu Yuanwai who has created countless classic scenes from the Premier League to Serie A to the national team.

Li Mo looked at Lukaku's thumbs up again and again, feeling emotional in his heart.

Lu Hanhan is the only one who can make the gesture of thumbs up so distinctive.

West Bromwich Albion used Lukaku as an offensive arrow to reach the position where they have half-stepped into the European theater. I have to say that their head coach Steve Clark is a bold person.

It is not courageous and impossible for a 19-year-old center to take on this important task.

However, Lukaku's playing habits made him unable to occupy the center stably and radiate offensive threats to both sides, which also made West Bromwich Albion stop here.

Because Lukaku's style of play is destined to be very effective when he is not limited, but once he is locked up to start the space, once he can't play on the wing, West Brom's offense will follow, otherwise West Brom Bromwich Albion has a chance to squeeze out Everton, it can only be said that it is a pity.

Sheffield United taught all West Bromwich Albion players a good lesson today.

Especially Li Mo, let Lukaku have a good experience today, how the big center should use his own advantages to play football.

Lukaku doesn't like to stand in the middle, and Li Mo happened to be stuck in the middle today.

When the fake little monster was frustrated again and again because he couldn't get in from the side, the real little monster had used his strong body to help his teammates lay out offensive threats in the frontcourt.

In the 17th minute of the first half, Li Mo almost assisted Bell to score a goal. Unfortunately, Bell's shot today seemed to be a bit poor. The volley in the penalty area turned out to be a plane, which made him laugh .

No.20 In two minutes, Sheffield United went on the offensive again.

This time Bell advanced with the ball, and Li Mo outflanked the middle to grab a point. Bell swept the football into the penalty area. As a result, Li Mo's spirituality leaked, and West Bromwich Albion's overall defense was also in chaos.

Joaquin, who followed up later, chose to shoot from a close angle, but in the end he pursued the angle too much. The football hit the goal post and popped out of the penalty area, causing Joaquin and the Sheffield United fans at home to hug their heads and exclaim.

Speed ​​slapped his head on the sidelines, his eyes full of depression.

These two times were regarded as must-go opportunities, and it was really unreasonable not to make it. He didn't know if Bell and the others had been rested for a long time a while ago to relax their bodies.

In desperation, Speed ​​subconsciously looked at Li Mo, and many Sheffield United fans also turned their attention to Li Mo immediately.

"We still have to see if Li Mo can come by himself. Both Bell and Joaquin seemed a bit unexcited today. Li Mo created two excellent scoring chances in the middle, but Sheffield United wasted them. You have to score a goal as soon as possible, and you will be punished if you waste too many opportunities.”

Zhan Jun made a few jokes, but he also expressed the concerns of many Sheffield United fans.

It is indeed not a good omen to waste too many opportunities in the football world.

And Li Mo also stood up at this time. He first told Bell and Joaquin that it had nothing to do with it. Don't hesitate to fight when the opportunity arises. Fight as soon as possible and try to be decisive.

Then he signaled to the teammates behind to slow down the pace a bit and stop blindly pressing the offense. They can take their time and don't rush.

The four-three-three formation played by Sheffield United today, once the pressure is too high, there is only one Matic behind to defend. The defensive pressure is too great.

When Drinkwater saw this, he controlled the tempo and slowed down. He played as a central midfielder today, and just now he felt that the team was a little too high. Now that Li Mo is speaking, it is beneficial to cool down appropriately.

After the rhythm slowed down, West Bromwich Albion's defense line can be regarded as a breather, but with Sheffield United's organization and possession of the ball in the midfield, West Bromwich Albion's overall formation has shown a momentum of pressing forward.

This is why Sheffield United deliberately hooked West Bromwich Albion players to attack, and after pulling West Bromwich Albion's formation back, Li Mo and the others could continue to look for offensive opportunities in more gaps.

In the face of Sheffield United's intentional retreat, the West Bromwich Albion players also tried to intercept in the midfield. They have not organized their offensive well for nearly 10 minutes, and they will be annoying if they are always pressed and beaten.

Generally speaking, Sheffield United is about to lose the ball at this time.

After all, after more than ten minutes of attacking, the players' physical fitness needs to recover slowly, and the next round should be West Bromwich Albion's offensive round.

However, Sheffield United's midfielders controlled the ball very firmly. Just 10 minutes into the first half, Drinkwater, who retreated to get the ball, suddenly kicked the ball and hoisted the ball directly to West Bromwich Albion. Odd half.

There is no transition, and the person he is looking for is also very clear, that is, Li Mo who is stuck in the position and raises his hand for the ball.

West Bromwich Albion's midfielder Brent tried to squeeze Li Mo out, but Li Mo stopped the football with his chest and forcibly led the ball directly to complete the turn!

Brent was completely pinned behind by Li Mo, Bell went straight to the side at this time, Li Mo made a gesture to pass, and Thorne, another West Bromwich Albion midfielder, quickly pulled to the side, Li Mo saw After cheating the defensive area, he directly dribbled the ball and made a strong breakthrough!

"Oh! Li Mo got the space to start! He is facing West Bromwich Albion's defense!"

Zhan Jun became excited, and Li Mo also stared at the movements of West Bromwich Albion's two central defenders after throwing off Brent.

Macaulay, who was more balanced in strength, didn't dare to give Li Mo a foot room at this time, and rushed out immediately, while the other tall center back, Alesson, delayed and prepared to intercept.

Li Mo saw this, and when Macaulay was about to approach him, he used a fried ball technique to dribble the ball into West Bromwich Albion's penalty area cleanly and concisely!

This made Olsson and West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Ben Foster feel cold.

I saw Li Mo swinging his right leg decisively at this time, and directly chose to volley the far corner of the goal from the position of two steps in the penalty area!
The football with astonishing momentum plunged into the net in the upper left corner of the West Bromwich Albion goal almost instantly.

Ben Foster, who had only made half of the saves, looked very embarrassed. Before the others landed, the football landed one step ahead of him.

And Olsson, who was lagging behind, spread his hands towards his partner Macaulay who had just been passed, as if asking:
"Brother, what happened to you just now?"

Li Mo stood up and chiseled a ball to help Sheffield United take the lead.

Such a goal seems to be silently telling Lukaku who is scratching his head on the other side.

"Brother, look at it, this center, you have to play like this, you have to dig in the middle!"

　Alas, tonight is the World Cup finals, let's go first, we will continue to grind tomorrow, I have to watch the game tonight
