Chapter 300 The Legend of Warcraft
The Chelsea players were very upset.
They came to Sheffield to prepare for a good match with Sheffield United, not to be interviewed to express their views on Li Mo's love affair.
Li Mo's popularity is very high now, but it doesn't mean that all players like to revolve around his topic.
Not to mention the old players in the Chelsea team, young stars like Oscar, Hazard and Mata, who are not the pride of heaven?
Looking at Li Mo's current glory, these young geniuses will always feel unconvinced in their hearts.
So what if the data is not as good as yours?Anyway, just unconvinced!
I don't have a championship, you don't have a championship, everyone is still a rookie, so why are you being called the third player in football?
Mata came to Chelsea earlier and lost a few more games to Sheffield United. Maybe he still admires Li Mo's strength from the bottom of his heart.
But Hazard and Oscar didn't have much fear of Li Mo.
To put it bluntly, it meant that they were beaten less and were beaten by Li Mo several times on the field. When they understood the strength gap between the two sides, they would naturally stop holding such great hostility.
Now, it may be that the loss at the beginning of the season was not thorough enough, so these young people still have the expectation of defeating Sheffield United.
But no matter how confident they are, their current coach Mancini is still very pragmatic.
Although Mancini also wants to avenge Sheffield United, but from the position of the head coach, he can clearly see the current strength gap between the two teams.
This Chelsea team is better in terms of toughness than the Manchester City he coached before, and has invested more in defense, but in terms of frontcourt offense, it lacks the power to make the final decision.
If he can take office earlier, he will never let Drogba go.
Although Drogba is getting older and his scoring efficiency has dropped a lot, compared to Torres who stayed in the team, Drogba's role in the frontcourt is still much greater.
Even if the finishing ability declines, as long as Drogba is the fulcrum in the frontcourt, Hazard and Oscar Gamata's midfield attack group can get enough tactical support.
With Drogba's ability to hold the ball in front, Hazard and Oscar can get enough firepower, and Mata can deliver shells beside them. Once this offensive system is successfully run-in, the threat level can basically be ranked in the Premier League. Top three!
But Mancini took office late. Once Drogba left, Abramovich made another request. Mancini, like Di Matteo before, had to find a way to activate Torres.
And Hazard and the others have to start around Torres, which is very different from Mancini's team building ideas.
He wants Hazard and Oscar to break the game and let other players serve them, instead of letting them serve a Torres who has lost his magic.
Fortunately, after Torres's "performance" for most of the season, Abramovich is now sober. Torres, who used to kill the Quartet in Liverpool, may really not be able to return to his peak state.
Once the two parties compromise, Mancini will still give Torres a chance, but Abramovich will no longer force Mancini to give Torres tactical care.
According to Mancini's idea of building a team, Chelsea have three wins and one draw in the last four league games, and the momentum of chasing points is extremely fierce, and Abramovich has completely delegated power.
I have to say that Mancini is good at training technical midfielders.
Before leading Silva and Yaya Toure in Manchester City, he created a midfield system with super offensive firepower.
Now at Chelsea, add the burden to Mata, give Hazard sufficient tactical weight, and let Oscar get used to attacking in the center.
The goal gap of Chelsea's sparse striker line was filled by the midfield combination he trained.
If De Bruyne is still at Chelsea, maybe it is really possible to kick him out.
Although Mancini, unlike Speed, likes to give talented players more tactical freedom, Italian coaches always emphasize tactical discipline.
But Mancini is an Italian coach who is willing to give opportunities, at least more willing to give rookies playing time than Di Matteo.
From the perspective of team building alone, Mancini is undoubtedly the top player in the world. His on-the-spot command has a lot of problems, so his European results have not been good, but his league and domestic cup results are not. It is available.
Today's Chelsea team has no shortage of champions. The league champions have been soft in the past ten years, and the Champions League dream has been fulfilled in 12 years. As long as Abramovich is patient and Mancini leads the team for two or three seasons, Chelsea will eventually return to the top European teams among the ranks.
However, the current Chelsea obviously still have a long road to reconstruction.
Mancini wants revenge, but he is also pragmatic. Before the game, he expressed his hope that he and Sheffield United will bring a wonderful match to the fans in a low-key way.
Under his control, Chelsea's players did not say anything they shouldn't say to reporters.
In a slightly peaceful atmosphere, the time came to 1:30 on the evening of January 19th, and there were only the last three and 30 minutes left before the focus match between Sheffield United and Chelsea began.
After the warm-up, the two teams returned to their respective locker rooms and started the final pre-match mobilization.
The Sheffield United players attached great importance to Chelsea's challenge, but everyone didn't feel too nervous.
The strong team has played a lot, and this self-confidence will naturally be cultivated. Playing against a rebuilding Chelsea, it will not be nervous.
After all, in the eyes of most of the players in Sheffield United, Hazard and Oscar are just rookies who made their debut in the Premier League. They were a little famous before, and they have performed well recently, but that's it.
Before winning the heavyweight championship, a genius is always just a genius, and it is still incomparable with those long-established stars.
The focus of Sheffield United's tactics is still on Juan Mata, Lampard, Ramirez, and even Torres.
However, Li Mo obviously has a different view on this. He knows the abilities of Hazard and Oscar, and he has repeatedly told Medel and Matic to pay special attention to the performance of these two young players before leaving the locker room.
"Although Hazard didn't score a goal or assist in the last match, his ability to make partial breakthroughs should not be underestimated. Nemania, do you still remember the few breakthroughs he played with you? "
After Li Mo's reminder, Matic quickly recalled Hazard's performance against Sheffield United for the first time.
Although Hazard is relatively thin now, but his chassis is stable, his core strength is full, and his skills are superb. It is not easy to steal the ball from his feet.
When Sheffield United faced Chelsea for the first time this season, Hazard was very active on the field. If Torres' finishing ability had not declined too severely, Chelsea might have led Sheffield United at home.
Li Mo's reminder was very timely. At least Medel and Matic cheered up. Not to mention seeing Hazard's performance later, he can limit his activities on the wing, and basically limit Chelsea's offensive end. The ability to change.
Speed also rarely saw Li Mo attaching so much importance to an opponent player, and subconsciously became a little more vigilant towards Hazard.
In the previous tactical arrangement, the Sheffield United coaching team is most afraid of Mata's performance.
After all, the data close to the Double Ten is there. Today's Mata can be said to be the true core of Chelsea. Lampard is willing to retreat for Mata's position, which shows its importance to Chelsea.
"It's a big deal that the two sides will attack together later, and play a three-back tactic. Just let Medel watch more about Hazard's performance."
Speed made a decision in his heart. Anyway, the three midfielders who are starting today can all be delayed.
Li Mo's ability to read games on the field is very strong. Since he is so afraid of Hazard's performance, he has a certain reason. Speed thinks it is no problem to play it safe.
As time passed, players from both sides followed the referee team onto the pitch, and fans from both sides in the Bramall Lane Stadium cheered enthusiastically.
As the focus of this round of the league, it is also one of the last two games. Almost all fans in England are setting their sights on Sheffield United's home court at this time.
At 20:00 in the evening, with the whistle of the referee, the No. 20 four-round focus battle of the Premier League also kicked off.
".Today, Speed formed a four-three-three partial offensive formation to counter Mancini's four-two-three-one. The coaches of both sides seem to have fully prepared before the game! Director Fan, you come to the audience Let's analyze it, friends."
In the studio of Sina Sports, Zhan Jun passed the conversation to General Fan who came to take over again today. After hearing this, Lao Fan also took over the task of analyzing the lineups of both sides, and started talking.
"The combination of Sheffield United's front line today has not changed much. Bell Joaquin is separated on the left and right wings, Li Mo is in the middle, and Vardy is on standby.
In the midfield, Drinkwater and Medel acted as the left and right midfielders, and Matic lagged behind.
The defense line from left to right is Matt Ridge, Vertonghen, Maguire and Trippier.
The goalkeeper is still Sommer.
This is Speed's most commonly used four-three-three formation."
In the analysis of General Fan, the Huaguo fans quickly understood Speed's intentions today.
When Terry is in poor condition and sits on the bench, Li Mo's fulcrum is extremely prominent. Neither Ivanovic nor Cahill's one-on-one defense ability in Chelsea is as outstanding as Terry. .
Coupled with the current shortage of personnel in Chelsea's midfielder position, Speed is going to use Li Mo's advantage in the middle to carve out attacking space for the players on the two wings.
The tactical arrangement of the double avant-garde is also to try to ignite the flames of war in Chelsea's half. Sheffield United plans to organize an attack in Chelsea's half today and also plans to build the first line of defense in Chelsea's half.
It seems that the tactics are very bold, but there is no doubt that the players of Sheffield United have this kind of bold capital.
Both Medel and Drinkwater are typical players who can't run to death. Even after losing the ball, they can actively press on the spot and return to defend and intercept.
They seem to be central midfielders, but in fact Speed played the same tactics that Ancelotti used to play with the midfielder.
It's just that compared to Gattuso, Drinkwater and Medel's offensive talents are obviously more sufficient, and they can be called offensive and defensive.
It is this kind of play that requires high physical fitness, but Speed does not require Drinkwater and Medel to play like this every time.
It's okay to experiment once in a while.
The Chelsea players hadn't expected so many changes in Sheffield United's tactics. They just saw Sheffield United's offensive formation of double avant-garde.
Although this will bring them a lot of defensive pressure, on the offensive end, they will also get more opportunities accordingly.
Mancini was a little suspicious. He didn't believe that Speed would play such a risky tactic. Even if he underestimated Chelsea, he wouldn't try to intercept Chelsea's midfield advance with just a defensive midfielder.
You know, Hazard has staged several times in the Premier League where several people have threatened him. If the coaching team of Sheffield United stretches their hips, they won’t be able to analyze Hazard’s threat even after watching the video tape. ?
With the cautious mentality of "Speed is digging a hole on purpose", Mancini carefully observed the performance of Sheffield United players in the opening stage of the game.
And the facts did not disappoint him.
Drinkwater and Medel gave Chelsea's young midfielders a good look at what it means to play "everywhere".
When Sheffield United attacked, the two pressed forward to control the field, delivering shells to the forward players and transferring the ball.
And once Sheffield United loses the ball in the frontcourt, the two of them and Bell Joaquin on the two wings will immediately launch a counterattack.
Chelsea's counterattack route is often not yet laid out, and the front four of Sheffield United rely on tireless running interceptions to force Chelsea to pass back to reorganize the attack.
Once falling into a positional battle, Drinkwater Gamedel can calmly retreat to the center circle, and build the first strangle line in the frontcourt with Bell and others.
It's true that there are two of them on the offensive end and more on the defensive end. They don't seem to feel tired when running.
This kind of tactic made several young Chelsea players very aggrieved, and there was a feeling that they could not use their strength.
Mancini watched for 10 minutes, but also scratched his head and couldn't think of a way to crack it.
He just has this physical ability, he can go up and come back, coupled with the hard work of Bell and Joaquin on both sides of the defense, this is his ability on the defensive end.
You let Lampard and Ramirez run back and forth like this, keep up with the rhythm of others to fight and break the game, is it realistic?
Without this physical ability, there is not so much military input.
Let Hazard, Oscar and Mata retreat to their own half to organize the attack, the conduction is smooth, but who can catch the ball and break through?
Rely on a Torres who has fallen seriously?
Mancini could tell that Speed wanted him to make a tactical decision.
Either withdraw the troops deployed in the front field and strengthen the strength to confront Sheffield United in their own half, or accept that even if the ball is stolen, it will be pushed back to the back field to reorganize, and it will not be possible to play a quick counterattack.
Mancini likes to control the midfielder and play offensive football in his bones. It is absolutely impossible for him to accept the status quo of being interrupted by Sheffield United and being constipated offensively.
With little thought, Mancini quickly made a choice, letting Hazard and Mata recover their formation first, and then control the situation in the midfield.
Although in this way, Chelsea's offensive strength in Sheffield United's half has dropped sharply, and it will always be more difficult to get the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt.
But Chelsea did rely on the numerical advantage in the midfield to gradually grasp the initiative to launch an offense.
And Speed's goal was achieved.
Mata and Hazard spent more energy on the conduction of the midfield and the backcourt. Chelsea spent less time on the offensive end, but Sheffield United could directly approach Li Mo with a long pass to launch a concise and direct offensive. .
Under the ebb and flow, the number of offensive rounds of Sheffield United will always overwhelm Chelsea, and the probability of breaking the game first will be far greater than Chelsea.
Isn't this competition on the court to see who has more opportunities to attack and who has the best ability to seize opportunities?
Speed's tricks are not very clever, but after the tactical exchange with Mancini, Mancini's team had to spend more time finding ways to transfer the ball to the frontcourt, while Speed's team Can rely on Li Mo to directly attack Chelsea's defense again and again.
No way, who let Chelsea let Drogba go.
In the past nearly ten years, Chelsea has caused headaches for many Premier League teams relying on Drogba.
Now it's their turn to crack this crude and effective tactic.
Looking at Mancini with a helpless face on the sidelines, Speed sat firmly on the coach's bench, with a look of "you know how I'm going to hit you but you just can't help it".
This trick, this trick is called copy and paste, with an enhanced version of Drogba in hand, you can do whatever you want.
"I think Mancini must miss the normal Terry very much now. If Terry is online, Speed can't design tactics like this. Li Mo and Terry have a little advantage one-on-one, but it is impossible to Now it’s like this, Cahill and Ivanovic take turns, they can’t do anything about Li Mo’s back, they have a headache, if I were Mancini, I would have a big head now.”
General Fan analyzed the current situation on the field with a smile. Under Li Mo's stable possession of the ball, Bell advanced forward and made Azpilicueta very embarrassed.
Now Sheffield United is short of a good chance. You have no choice but to take Li Mo one-on-one. You can only choose double-teaming. Li Mo can pick the ball out of double-teaming. The defensive loopholes you vacated will be blocked. Did Bell and Joaquin take advantage of it?
"We have seen this kind of tactics before, but at that time, it was Robben, Joe Cole was around Drogba on the wings, and Anelka was behind Drogba. , Feng Shui turns around."
Zhan Jun was a little emotional. He still remembered that Chelsea sent 22 long passes to Drogba to bomb Arsenal in a single game. The bombing made Arsenal's defense dizzy. He didn't expect to see Sheffield United use the same tactics to bomb Chelsea today.
If the Arsenal fans at this time were watching this game, they might feel a sense of "you have today" in their hearts.
Of course, although Chelsea can't stand Li Mo, it is not that there is no chance of attacking at all.
After controlling the initiative in the midfield to a certain extent, even if it takes energy to advance the ball to Sheffield United's half, the young Hazard showed his strength amid the boos of nearly [-] Sheffield United fans. His dribbling talent.
If he can choose, Li Mo will definitely hope that the giants of Huaguo will inject capital into Sheffield United as soon as possible. In this way, in the winter window of last year, he can suggest that Speed must sign Hazard who is still in Ligue [-].
Hazard's influence on the situation on the field cannot be reflected by his statistics.
He is a superstar who can tear apart a line of defense in the true sense by dribbling.
Before he became Burger King, Hazard's performance in the Premier League was enough to be called the top player in the Premier League in those years.
Even though Hazard is still a little young and still adapting to the confrontation rhythm of the Premier League, as long as he has the ball, he has already shown the self-confidence of a star.
If Medel hadn't listened to Li Mo's words before the game and had always been wary of Hazard, maybe he would really suffer from Hazard.
The Chilean Bulls' defense has never been polite. Seeing that Hazard's plate brought a feeling, Medel simply and rudely chose to foul the upper body.
This is a manifestation of the wisdom of defensive players. Even though Chelsea's players on the field complained to the referee many times, and thousands of Chelsea fans booed Medel in dissatisfaction, the Chilean still went his own way.
Medel is smart. His actions seem reckless, but the fouls were all chosen near the midfield, and there was no intention of hurting others. Seeing this situation, the referee could not play cards, so he could only give a verbal warning.
Chelsea's young talents were distraught by this.
Sheffield United's two central midfielders made too many small defensive moves, but they didn't take their cards. They interrupted Chelsea's offensive time and time again. How awkward this game was.
If the same old fritters players deal with this situation, it will definitely start directly.
Medel and Drinkwater dared to go up to their bodies, and they dared to take the initiative to lean up and turn several laps to put pressure on the referee.
It can only be said that Chelsea's current group of young players are still very honest and have a lot to learn.
Mancini does not like to tune the defensive ability of midfielders like Speed, let alone teach his disciples "defensive tips" on the court.
This boring loss can only be eaten by his group of young disciples.
The two sides come and go, and the offense and defense can barely be regarded as mutual advantages. It's just that Chelsea's midfield advantage has been unable to transform into a victory for a long time, but Sheffield United's offense is very impressive. .
In the No.206 minute of the first half, Torres scored their team's second shot from outside the penalty area on Chelsea's side.
Sommer easily hugged the weak football, and after a little observation, he threw the ball directly to Medel who raised his hand on the sidewalk.
Chelsea's frontcourt players all went to see the retreating Drinkwater for the first time, so Medel didn't have many Chelsea players around him to mark the ball after stopping the ball.
Trippier began to jump in, but Medel didn't give the ball to the ball, nor did he knock the ball horizontally to Matic who came to meet him, but directly kicked the football towards Chelsea's half!
"Sheffield United's seventh long pass from the backcourt in the first half! Li Mo put his back on Ramirez! Ivanovic and Cahill are quickly returning to defense!"
Accompanied by Zhan Jun's excited commentary, Li Mo steadily stopped the long pass with his chest, and then decisively led the ball to complete the turn.
Although Lampard said today that he played in the midfielder position, his desire to attack made him try to catch up near the center circle. Li Mo ran over Ramirez with his back and then faced Chelsea's defense. This is a very good opportunity to attack!
If it was Drogba when he was young, then he would have waited a little longer for the responders who came in from the backcourt, or if he watched a teammate advance from the wing, he would pass the ball directly.
But Li Mo is different, his ability to hold the ball and pass the ball is much stronger than that of Warcraft when he was young.
Cahill and Ivanovic's cautious retreat gave him too much room to use. After taking the ball to speed up, Li Mo immediately felt a desire to make a long-distance attack.
But at the moment when Bell exploded and accelerated, Li Mo quickly sent a straight shot to the ground.
He dribbled the ball as fast as Bell went straight behind him. The score was still 0-0. Breaking the deadlock was more important than anything else. Li Mo has always been very clear-headed on this point.
When both football and Bale passed Chelsea's entire defense line at an extremely fast speed, the following scenes were all too familiar to fans watching the game.
The key point is that Chelsea's goalkeeper Petr Cech was still unable to play due to injury today. Chelsea's substitute goalkeeper Turnbull was a little slower to attack Bell's single-handed ball, and was directly hit by Bell with a burst shot from the far corner.
Mancini on the sidelines waved his hand fiercely, muttered something and frowned and walked back to the coach's bench.
The Sheffield United fans at the scene suddenly erupted with great enthusiasm and cheers in the cold winter. Under the proud gaze of Speed with his hands on his hips, Bell and Li Mo accepted the teammate swarming up in the corner flag area. celebration.
In this situation, no matter how dominant it is, the player's heart is always mentioned before the goal is scored.
Now that the game has been broken successfully, the players of Sheffield United are also relieved while being happy.
After all, Chelsea have nothing to do with their tactics, and they can continue to play like this. With Li Mo, the offense is guaranteed. Even if Chelsea players go to double-team Bell later, Li Mo can do it by himself or Cooperate with Joaquin, isn't it?
Bale, who scored his No.15 goal in the league, looked very happy.
He only scored ten league goals in the 36 rounds of Tottenham last season. This season, the league has only progressed to 24 rounds, and his number of goals has reached fifteen. How can he not be excited when the standard line of superstars with [-] goals has gone?
The feeling of playing football with Li Mo is really great. Li Mo can easily score the ball he passes, and Li Mo can see the position he runs out of at the first time.
Partnering with such a teammate, if the statistics are not good, there will be ghosts.
"Beautiful pass! Lee, I love you so much!"
Facing Bell's hug and declaration of passion, Li Mo shrank his neck in fright.
"Damn it! I have a girlfriend, we can't be together Gareth!"
"Hahahaha, you bastard! It's friendship! I also have a girlfriend!"
Bale hammered Li Mo dumbfoundingly, and then the two were overwhelmed by his teammates. The fiery celebration atmosphere made the Chelsea players on the side very depressed.
The young Azpilicueta looked a little frustrated, but Ivanovic could take it easy and hurriedly comforted his little brother.
Bell has been the Premier League's well-deserved No. [-] winger since last season, and this season has the momentum of being the No. [-] player on the left in Europe under Ronaldo.
At least for now, Ivanovic has not seen a defender who can compete with Bell for speed. Losing to Bell is not a shame. Azpilicueta is still very young. As long as his mentality is adjusted well, he will return on the court in the future up.
Lampard also fulfilled his duty as the captain on the field, comforting and cheering up the young Oscar and Hazard.
After winning the Champions League last season, the mentality of the magic lamp has also relaxed a lot. Now he has a lot of honors in the club and is willing to stay and help young teammates grow quickly.
Today's Chelsea does not have the strength to compete for the championship, and stable reconstruction is the business, but these young players are very talented, and Lampard believes that they will have a bright future.
It's just that now they need to accept more tempering, and when accepting these setbacks, helping them maintain a healthy mentality is what old players like Lampard should do.
Hazard didn't seem too discouraged. After the game restarted, he retreated to get the ball many times. No matter how much Medel struggled, he tried to help the team open the situation on the wing.
At the same time, Mancini called Demba Ba and Benayoun on the bench to warm up the two forwards.
Everyone can see that Mancini is quite dissatisfied with Torres.
In the first half, Chelsea did not have many offensive opportunities, and Torres wasted all of them. Now it is time for Chelsea to step up their offensive efforts. Instead of continuing to trust Torres, Mancini feels that Demba Ba, who has performed well in the past two seasons More trustworthy.
In fact, in comparison, Mancini wants to introduce Dzeko, his old subordinate in Manchester City.
Aguero is now sitting firmly in Manchester City's main center position, and Dzeko has few opportunities.
If Mancini could take office at Chelsea earlier, he would definitely stop Demba Ba's transfer and try to introduce Dzeko.
It's a pity that he, like Benitez, was appointed temporarily, and he didn't have much transfer power at hand, so he could only wait and see.
Chelsea stepped up their offensive efforts when they fell behind, and Sheffield United naturally chose to shrink their formation at the first time.
With a wave of Speed's hand, Drinkwater and Medel directly settled in the midfielder positions, and Sheffield United also became a four-three-two-one formation.
The three defensive midfielders lined up in the backcourt, and Bell and Joaquin stepped in to assist in the defense. This change made Mancini very annoyed.
Playing tactics before scoring a goal, shrinking the formation and setting up the bus after scoring a goal, this Speed is really the same as Mourinho back then, how utilitarian and how to play!
Fortunately, Chelsea no longer need to push forward with the ball from the backcourt. Hazard and Mata started to look for offensive opportunities from left to right, and Chelsea can also have more offensive rounds.
No. 308 minutes into the first half, seeing Chelsea once again infiltrating from the wing to no avail, Torres couldn’t hold his position when he pulled out of the penalty area, Mancini finally couldn’t sit still, and asked Demba Ba to go to the sideline to prepare for the bench .
However, under Sheffield United's offensive round, there was no chance of a dead ball, and Demba Ba could only stand on the sidelines and wait.
At this time, almost everyone focused on the adjustment of Chelsea's upcoming substitutions.
Speed also called Dembele and De Bruyne, and it seemed that corresponding adjustments had to be made.
However, Matic pulled back the audience's vision with a precise long pass in the backcourt, and the Chelsea fans woke up.
Now is Sheffield United's offensive round. Just now Chelsea invested a lot of troops in Sheffield United's half to try to open the situation. How many defenders are there in Chelsea's defense now?
With the camera of the director, the fans quickly saw Cahill and Ivanovic who were ready to fight, and Ashley Cole who was double-teaming from the side.
This defensive posture has given Chelsea supporters a sigh of relief.
Bell didn't have time to go forward this time, and Li Mo didn't have any Sheffield United players around him. All he could do was stop the ball and retreat, or wait for Bell, who was on the sideline, to come and respond.
Mancini calmed down a little.
With the double-teaming of three people, he couldn't believe what Li Mo could do this time!
Under everyone's attention, Li Mo did choose to stop the ball with his chest first.
Ashley Cole, who was beside him, was overjoyed. As long as Li Mo stopped the ball, he would have the opportunity to stretch out his feet to intercept, and then Chelsea might still be able to fight back.
Thinking of this, Ashley Cole followed suit, trying to grab the ball.
But Li Mo's chest stop this time did not go straight up and down, but stopped the ball directly to the right side of his body.
While stopping the ball, Li Mo also turned to the right, cleverly getting out of Ashley Cole's position. Behind him, Ivanovic gave up a little space, as if he didn't want him to turn around directly. Lose.
From the point of view of a defensive player, there is no big problem with Ivanovic's approach. After all, if he sticks too closely with Li Mo, it is indeed possible that Li Mo will turn around and lead him over.
Li Mo didn't know how many times he used this trick since last season, and Ivanovic obviously studied Li Mo's back-up habits before the game.
Cahill was on the sidelines ready to come over and encircle Li Mo's itinerary with Ivanovic at any time, leaving some space between him and Li Mo, presumably because he was also afraid that Li Mo would pass him by too quickly.
But the two central defenders seem to have forgotten some important information.
That is, the area where Li Mo stopped the ball and turned around is already close to Chelsea's big penalty area, almost at the top of the arc of the penalty area.
And this position is already within Li Mo's effective shooting range!
They thought that Li Mo would choose to go beyond others, but Li Mo had already made up his mind when he stopped the ball to let Ashley Cole go.
If you dare to give him room to kick, he will only choose to shoot!
Almost at the moment of turning around, Li Mo measured the pace.
The football stopped by him fell from the air to a suitable height, and his left leg, which was swung high, aimed at Chelsea's goal like a cannon barrel.
The moment he faces the goal is the best time for him to swing his leg and shoot!
"Li Mo turned around successfully! Ivanovic actually made room for Li Mo's shot!!!"
During General Fan's passionate explanation, Li Mo straightened his instep, and the muscles on his left leg were knotted. The explosive power contained in it made the hearts of all the audience tremble!
"boom!"
When his instep hit the football hard, a horrible muffled sound also rang in the ears of several Chelsea defenders.
The football roared like a fired shell, flew across an afterimage and flew towards Chelsea's goal!
Turnbull's line of sight was almost blocked by Ivanovic. He couldn't see Li Mo's movements clearly. He only had time to see the afterimage of the football passing by his side from the corner of his eye, and finally plunged into him. In the net behind!
The hot shells stunned Chelsea's three defensive players and a goalkeeper, but Bramall Lane Stadium has already sat on the erupting volcano, worshiping their king in the crazy vibrations!
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Lee defeated Chelsea in the most Drogba way! Yes, he defeated Chelsea!!! What a drama! This is how Drogba destroyed Arsenal!!!"
The commentator of Sky Sports hugged his head and was very excited, but Li Mo had already run to the bottom line at this time and staged the kneeling celebration that Chelsea fans were most familiar with!
The legend of Warcraft continues, but this time, he no longer belongs to Chelsea!
Hurry up, it’s already past twelve o’clock. Fortunately, I’ve been out of full attendance due to illness this month, otherwise I’d probably strangle myself to death, haha.
This chapter is dedicated to Didier Drogba, to my favorite Warcraft
Since then, there will be no Warcraft in the Premier League!
(End of this chapter)
The Chelsea players were very upset.
They came to Sheffield to prepare for a good match with Sheffield United, not to be interviewed to express their views on Li Mo's love affair.
Li Mo's popularity is very high now, but it doesn't mean that all players like to revolve around his topic.
Not to mention the old players in the Chelsea team, young stars like Oscar, Hazard and Mata, who are not the pride of heaven?
Looking at Li Mo's current glory, these young geniuses will always feel unconvinced in their hearts.
So what if the data is not as good as yours?Anyway, just unconvinced!
I don't have a championship, you don't have a championship, everyone is still a rookie, so why are you being called the third player in football?
Mata came to Chelsea earlier and lost a few more games to Sheffield United. Maybe he still admires Li Mo's strength from the bottom of his heart.
But Hazard and Oscar didn't have much fear of Li Mo.
To put it bluntly, it meant that they were beaten less and were beaten by Li Mo several times on the field. When they understood the strength gap between the two sides, they would naturally stop holding such great hostility.
Now, it may be that the loss at the beginning of the season was not thorough enough, so these young people still have the expectation of defeating Sheffield United.
But no matter how confident they are, their current coach Mancini is still very pragmatic.
Although Mancini also wants to avenge Sheffield United, but from the position of the head coach, he can clearly see the current strength gap between the two teams.
This Chelsea team is better in terms of toughness than the Manchester City he coached before, and has invested more in defense, but in terms of frontcourt offense, it lacks the power to make the final decision.
If he can take office earlier, he will never let Drogba go.
Although Drogba is getting older and his scoring efficiency has dropped a lot, compared to Torres who stayed in the team, Drogba's role in the frontcourt is still much greater.
Even if the finishing ability declines, as long as Drogba is the fulcrum in the frontcourt, Hazard and Oscar Gamata's midfield attack group can get enough tactical support.
With Drogba's ability to hold the ball in front, Hazard and Oscar can get enough firepower, and Mata can deliver shells beside them. Once this offensive system is successfully run-in, the threat level can basically be ranked in the Premier League. Top three!
But Mancini took office late. Once Drogba left, Abramovich made another request. Mancini, like Di Matteo before, had to find a way to activate Torres.
And Hazard and the others have to start around Torres, which is very different from Mancini's team building ideas.
He wants Hazard and Oscar to break the game and let other players serve them, instead of letting them serve a Torres who has lost his magic.
Fortunately, after Torres's "performance" for most of the season, Abramovich is now sober. Torres, who used to kill the Quartet in Liverpool, may really not be able to return to his peak state.
Once the two parties compromise, Mancini will still give Torres a chance, but Abramovich will no longer force Mancini to give Torres tactical care.
According to Mancini's idea of building a team, Chelsea have three wins and one draw in the last four league games, and the momentum of chasing points is extremely fierce, and Abramovich has completely delegated power.
I have to say that Mancini is good at training technical midfielders.
Before leading Silva and Yaya Toure in Manchester City, he created a midfield system with super offensive firepower.
Now at Chelsea, add the burden to Mata, give Hazard sufficient tactical weight, and let Oscar get used to attacking in the center.
The goal gap of Chelsea's sparse striker line was filled by the midfield combination he trained.
If De Bruyne is still at Chelsea, maybe it is really possible to kick him out.
Although Mancini, unlike Speed, likes to give talented players more tactical freedom, Italian coaches always emphasize tactical discipline.
But Mancini is an Italian coach who is willing to give opportunities, at least more willing to give rookies playing time than Di Matteo.
From the perspective of team building alone, Mancini is undoubtedly the top player in the world. His on-the-spot command has a lot of problems, so his European results have not been good, but his league and domestic cup results are not. It is available.
Today's Chelsea team has no shortage of champions. The league champions have been soft in the past ten years, and the Champions League dream has been fulfilled in 12 years. As long as Abramovich is patient and Mancini leads the team for two or three seasons, Chelsea will eventually return to the top European teams among the ranks.
However, the current Chelsea obviously still have a long road to reconstruction.
Mancini wants revenge, but he is also pragmatic. Before the game, he expressed his hope that he and Sheffield United will bring a wonderful match to the fans in a low-key way.
Under his control, Chelsea's players did not say anything they shouldn't say to reporters.
In a slightly peaceful atmosphere, the time came to 1:30 on the evening of January 19th, and there were only the last three and 30 minutes left before the focus match between Sheffield United and Chelsea began.
After the warm-up, the two teams returned to their respective locker rooms and started the final pre-match mobilization.
The Sheffield United players attached great importance to Chelsea's challenge, but everyone didn't feel too nervous.
The strong team has played a lot, and this self-confidence will naturally be cultivated. Playing against a rebuilding Chelsea, it will not be nervous.
After all, in the eyes of most of the players in Sheffield United, Hazard and Oscar are just rookies who made their debut in the Premier League. They were a little famous before, and they have performed well recently, but that's it.
Before winning the heavyweight championship, a genius is always just a genius, and it is still incomparable with those long-established stars.
The focus of Sheffield United's tactics is still on Juan Mata, Lampard, Ramirez, and even Torres.
However, Li Mo obviously has a different view on this. He knows the abilities of Hazard and Oscar, and he has repeatedly told Medel and Matic to pay special attention to the performance of these two young players before leaving the locker room.
"Although Hazard didn't score a goal or assist in the last match, his ability to make partial breakthroughs should not be underestimated. Nemania, do you still remember the few breakthroughs he played with you? "
After Li Mo's reminder, Matic quickly recalled Hazard's performance against Sheffield United for the first time.
Although Hazard is relatively thin now, but his chassis is stable, his core strength is full, and his skills are superb. It is not easy to steal the ball from his feet.
When Sheffield United faced Chelsea for the first time this season, Hazard was very active on the field. If Torres' finishing ability had not declined too severely, Chelsea might have led Sheffield United at home.
Li Mo's reminder was very timely. At least Medel and Matic cheered up. Not to mention seeing Hazard's performance later, he can limit his activities on the wing, and basically limit Chelsea's offensive end. The ability to change.
Speed also rarely saw Li Mo attaching so much importance to an opponent player, and subconsciously became a little more vigilant towards Hazard.
In the previous tactical arrangement, the Sheffield United coaching team is most afraid of Mata's performance.
After all, the data close to the Double Ten is there. Today's Mata can be said to be the true core of Chelsea. Lampard is willing to retreat for Mata's position, which shows its importance to Chelsea.
"It's a big deal that the two sides will attack together later, and play a three-back tactic. Just let Medel watch more about Hazard's performance."
Speed made a decision in his heart. Anyway, the three midfielders who are starting today can all be delayed.
Li Mo's ability to read games on the field is very strong. Since he is so afraid of Hazard's performance, he has a certain reason. Speed thinks it is no problem to play it safe.
As time passed, players from both sides followed the referee team onto the pitch, and fans from both sides in the Bramall Lane Stadium cheered enthusiastically.
As the focus of this round of the league, it is also one of the last two games. Almost all fans in England are setting their sights on Sheffield United's home court at this time.
At 20:00 in the evening, with the whistle of the referee, the No. 20 four-round focus battle of the Premier League also kicked off.
".Today, Speed formed a four-three-three partial offensive formation to counter Mancini's four-two-three-one. The coaches of both sides seem to have fully prepared before the game! Director Fan, you come to the audience Let's analyze it, friends."
In the studio of Sina Sports, Zhan Jun passed the conversation to General Fan who came to take over again today. After hearing this, Lao Fan also took over the task of analyzing the lineups of both sides, and started talking.
"The combination of Sheffield United's front line today has not changed much. Bell Joaquin is separated on the left and right wings, Li Mo is in the middle, and Vardy is on standby.
In the midfield, Drinkwater and Medel acted as the left and right midfielders, and Matic lagged behind.
The defense line from left to right is Matt Ridge, Vertonghen, Maguire and Trippier.
The goalkeeper is still Sommer.
This is Speed's most commonly used four-three-three formation."
In the analysis of General Fan, the Huaguo fans quickly understood Speed's intentions today.
When Terry is in poor condition and sits on the bench, Li Mo's fulcrum is extremely prominent. Neither Ivanovic nor Cahill's one-on-one defense ability in Chelsea is as outstanding as Terry. .
Coupled with the current shortage of personnel in Chelsea's midfielder position, Speed is going to use Li Mo's advantage in the middle to carve out attacking space for the players on the two wings.
The tactical arrangement of the double avant-garde is also to try to ignite the flames of war in Chelsea's half. Sheffield United plans to organize an attack in Chelsea's half today and also plans to build the first line of defense in Chelsea's half.
It seems that the tactics are very bold, but there is no doubt that the players of Sheffield United have this kind of bold capital.
Both Medel and Drinkwater are typical players who can't run to death. Even after losing the ball, they can actively press on the spot and return to defend and intercept.
They seem to be central midfielders, but in fact Speed played the same tactics that Ancelotti used to play with the midfielder.
It's just that compared to Gattuso, Drinkwater and Medel's offensive talents are obviously more sufficient, and they can be called offensive and defensive.
It is this kind of play that requires high physical fitness, but Speed does not require Drinkwater and Medel to play like this every time.
It's okay to experiment once in a while.
The Chelsea players hadn't expected so many changes in Sheffield United's tactics. They just saw Sheffield United's offensive formation of double avant-garde.
Although this will bring them a lot of defensive pressure, on the offensive end, they will also get more opportunities accordingly.
Mancini was a little suspicious. He didn't believe that Speed would play such a risky tactic. Even if he underestimated Chelsea, he wouldn't try to intercept Chelsea's midfield advance with just a defensive midfielder.
You know, Hazard has staged several times in the Premier League where several people have threatened him. If the coaching team of Sheffield United stretches their hips, they won’t be able to analyze Hazard’s threat even after watching the video tape. ?
With the cautious mentality of "Speed is digging a hole on purpose", Mancini carefully observed the performance of Sheffield United players in the opening stage of the game.
And the facts did not disappoint him.
Drinkwater and Medel gave Chelsea's young midfielders a good look at what it means to play "everywhere".
When Sheffield United attacked, the two pressed forward to control the field, delivering shells to the forward players and transferring the ball.
And once Sheffield United loses the ball in the frontcourt, the two of them and Bell Joaquin on the two wings will immediately launch a counterattack.
Chelsea's counterattack route is often not yet laid out, and the front four of Sheffield United rely on tireless running interceptions to force Chelsea to pass back to reorganize the attack.
Once falling into a positional battle, Drinkwater Gamedel can calmly retreat to the center circle, and build the first strangle line in the frontcourt with Bell and others.
It's true that there are two of them on the offensive end and more on the defensive end. They don't seem to feel tired when running.
This kind of tactic made several young Chelsea players very aggrieved, and there was a feeling that they could not use their strength.
Mancini watched for 10 minutes, but also scratched his head and couldn't think of a way to crack it.
He just has this physical ability, he can go up and come back, coupled with the hard work of Bell and Joaquin on both sides of the defense, this is his ability on the defensive end.
You let Lampard and Ramirez run back and forth like this, keep up with the rhythm of others to fight and break the game, is it realistic?
Without this physical ability, there is not so much military input.
Let Hazard, Oscar and Mata retreat to their own half to organize the attack, the conduction is smooth, but who can catch the ball and break through?
Rely on a Torres who has fallen seriously?
Mancini could tell that Speed wanted him to make a tactical decision.
Either withdraw the troops deployed in the front field and strengthen the strength to confront Sheffield United in their own half, or accept that even if the ball is stolen, it will be pushed back to the back field to reorganize, and it will not be possible to play a quick counterattack.
Mancini likes to control the midfielder and play offensive football in his bones. It is absolutely impossible for him to accept the status quo of being interrupted by Sheffield United and being constipated offensively.
With little thought, Mancini quickly made a choice, letting Hazard and Mata recover their formation first, and then control the situation in the midfield.
Although in this way, Chelsea's offensive strength in Sheffield United's half has dropped sharply, and it will always be more difficult to get the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt.
But Chelsea did rely on the numerical advantage in the midfield to gradually grasp the initiative to launch an offense.
And Speed's goal was achieved.
Mata and Hazard spent more energy on the conduction of the midfield and the backcourt. Chelsea spent less time on the offensive end, but Sheffield United could directly approach Li Mo with a long pass to launch a concise and direct offensive. .
Under the ebb and flow, the number of offensive rounds of Sheffield United will always overwhelm Chelsea, and the probability of breaking the game first will be far greater than Chelsea.
Isn't this competition on the court to see who has more opportunities to attack and who has the best ability to seize opportunities?
Speed's tricks are not very clever, but after the tactical exchange with Mancini, Mancini's team had to spend more time finding ways to transfer the ball to the frontcourt, while Speed's team Can rely on Li Mo to directly attack Chelsea's defense again and again.
No way, who let Chelsea let Drogba go.
In the past nearly ten years, Chelsea has caused headaches for many Premier League teams relying on Drogba.
Now it's their turn to crack this crude and effective tactic.
Looking at Mancini with a helpless face on the sidelines, Speed sat firmly on the coach's bench, with a look of "you know how I'm going to hit you but you just can't help it".
This trick, this trick is called copy and paste, with an enhanced version of Drogba in hand, you can do whatever you want.
"I think Mancini must miss the normal Terry very much now. If Terry is online, Speed can't design tactics like this. Li Mo and Terry have a little advantage one-on-one, but it is impossible to Now it’s like this, Cahill and Ivanovic take turns, they can’t do anything about Li Mo’s back, they have a headache, if I were Mancini, I would have a big head now.”
General Fan analyzed the current situation on the field with a smile. Under Li Mo's stable possession of the ball, Bell advanced forward and made Azpilicueta very embarrassed.
Now Sheffield United is short of a good chance. You have no choice but to take Li Mo one-on-one. You can only choose double-teaming. Li Mo can pick the ball out of double-teaming. The defensive loopholes you vacated will be blocked. Did Bell and Joaquin take advantage of it?
"We have seen this kind of tactics before, but at that time, it was Robben, Joe Cole was around Drogba on the wings, and Anelka was behind Drogba. , Feng Shui turns around."
Zhan Jun was a little emotional. He still remembered that Chelsea sent 22 long passes to Drogba to bomb Arsenal in a single game. The bombing made Arsenal's defense dizzy. He didn't expect to see Sheffield United use the same tactics to bomb Chelsea today.
If the Arsenal fans at this time were watching this game, they might feel a sense of "you have today" in their hearts.
Of course, although Chelsea can't stand Li Mo, it is not that there is no chance of attacking at all.
After controlling the initiative in the midfield to a certain extent, even if it takes energy to advance the ball to Sheffield United's half, the young Hazard showed his strength amid the boos of nearly [-] Sheffield United fans. His dribbling talent.
If he can choose, Li Mo will definitely hope that the giants of Huaguo will inject capital into Sheffield United as soon as possible. In this way, in the winter window of last year, he can suggest that Speed must sign Hazard who is still in Ligue [-].
Hazard's influence on the situation on the field cannot be reflected by his statistics.
He is a superstar who can tear apart a line of defense in the true sense by dribbling.
Before he became Burger King, Hazard's performance in the Premier League was enough to be called the top player in the Premier League in those years.
Even though Hazard is still a little young and still adapting to the confrontation rhythm of the Premier League, as long as he has the ball, he has already shown the self-confidence of a star.
If Medel hadn't listened to Li Mo's words before the game and had always been wary of Hazard, maybe he would really suffer from Hazard.
The Chilean Bulls' defense has never been polite. Seeing that Hazard's plate brought a feeling, Medel simply and rudely chose to foul the upper body.
This is a manifestation of the wisdom of defensive players. Even though Chelsea's players on the field complained to the referee many times, and thousands of Chelsea fans booed Medel in dissatisfaction, the Chilean still went his own way.
Medel is smart. His actions seem reckless, but the fouls were all chosen near the midfield, and there was no intention of hurting others. Seeing this situation, the referee could not play cards, so he could only give a verbal warning.
Chelsea's young talents were distraught by this.
Sheffield United's two central midfielders made too many small defensive moves, but they didn't take their cards. They interrupted Chelsea's offensive time and time again. How awkward this game was.
If the same old fritters players deal with this situation, it will definitely start directly.
Medel and Drinkwater dared to go up to their bodies, and they dared to take the initiative to lean up and turn several laps to put pressure on the referee.
It can only be said that Chelsea's current group of young players are still very honest and have a lot to learn.
Mancini does not like to tune the defensive ability of midfielders like Speed, let alone teach his disciples "defensive tips" on the court.
This boring loss can only be eaten by his group of young disciples.
The two sides come and go, and the offense and defense can barely be regarded as mutual advantages. It's just that Chelsea's midfield advantage has been unable to transform into a victory for a long time, but Sheffield United's offense is very impressive. .
In the No.206 minute of the first half, Torres scored their team's second shot from outside the penalty area on Chelsea's side.
Sommer easily hugged the weak football, and after a little observation, he threw the ball directly to Medel who raised his hand on the sidewalk.
Chelsea's frontcourt players all went to see the retreating Drinkwater for the first time, so Medel didn't have many Chelsea players around him to mark the ball after stopping the ball.
Trippier began to jump in, but Medel didn't give the ball to the ball, nor did he knock the ball horizontally to Matic who came to meet him, but directly kicked the football towards Chelsea's half!
"Sheffield United's seventh long pass from the backcourt in the first half! Li Mo put his back on Ramirez! Ivanovic and Cahill are quickly returning to defense!"
Accompanied by Zhan Jun's excited commentary, Li Mo steadily stopped the long pass with his chest, and then decisively led the ball to complete the turn.
Although Lampard said today that he played in the midfielder position, his desire to attack made him try to catch up near the center circle. Li Mo ran over Ramirez with his back and then faced Chelsea's defense. This is a very good opportunity to attack!
If it was Drogba when he was young, then he would have waited a little longer for the responders who came in from the backcourt, or if he watched a teammate advance from the wing, he would pass the ball directly.
But Li Mo is different, his ability to hold the ball and pass the ball is much stronger than that of Warcraft when he was young.
Cahill and Ivanovic's cautious retreat gave him too much room to use. After taking the ball to speed up, Li Mo immediately felt a desire to make a long-distance attack.
But at the moment when Bell exploded and accelerated, Li Mo quickly sent a straight shot to the ground.
He dribbled the ball as fast as Bell went straight behind him. The score was still 0-0. Breaking the deadlock was more important than anything else. Li Mo has always been very clear-headed on this point.
When both football and Bale passed Chelsea's entire defense line at an extremely fast speed, the following scenes were all too familiar to fans watching the game.
The key point is that Chelsea's goalkeeper Petr Cech was still unable to play due to injury today. Chelsea's substitute goalkeeper Turnbull was a little slower to attack Bell's single-handed ball, and was directly hit by Bell with a burst shot from the far corner.
Mancini on the sidelines waved his hand fiercely, muttered something and frowned and walked back to the coach's bench.
The Sheffield United fans at the scene suddenly erupted with great enthusiasm and cheers in the cold winter. Under the proud gaze of Speed with his hands on his hips, Bell and Li Mo accepted the teammate swarming up in the corner flag area. celebration.
In this situation, no matter how dominant it is, the player's heart is always mentioned before the goal is scored.
Now that the game has been broken successfully, the players of Sheffield United are also relieved while being happy.
After all, Chelsea have nothing to do with their tactics, and they can continue to play like this. With Li Mo, the offense is guaranteed. Even if Chelsea players go to double-team Bell later, Li Mo can do it by himself or Cooperate with Joaquin, isn't it?
Bale, who scored his No.15 goal in the league, looked very happy.
He only scored ten league goals in the 36 rounds of Tottenham last season. This season, the league has only progressed to 24 rounds, and his number of goals has reached fifteen. How can he not be excited when the standard line of superstars with [-] goals has gone?
The feeling of playing football with Li Mo is really great. Li Mo can easily score the ball he passes, and Li Mo can see the position he runs out of at the first time.
Partnering with such a teammate, if the statistics are not good, there will be ghosts.
"Beautiful pass! Lee, I love you so much!"
Facing Bell's hug and declaration of passion, Li Mo shrank his neck in fright.
"Damn it! I have a girlfriend, we can't be together Gareth!"
"Hahahaha, you bastard! It's friendship! I also have a girlfriend!"
Bale hammered Li Mo dumbfoundingly, and then the two were overwhelmed by his teammates. The fiery celebration atmosphere made the Chelsea players on the side very depressed.
The young Azpilicueta looked a little frustrated, but Ivanovic could take it easy and hurriedly comforted his little brother.
Bell has been the Premier League's well-deserved No. [-] winger since last season, and this season has the momentum of being the No. [-] player on the left in Europe under Ronaldo.
At least for now, Ivanovic has not seen a defender who can compete with Bell for speed. Losing to Bell is not a shame. Azpilicueta is still very young. As long as his mentality is adjusted well, he will return on the court in the future up.
Lampard also fulfilled his duty as the captain on the field, comforting and cheering up the young Oscar and Hazard.
After winning the Champions League last season, the mentality of the magic lamp has also relaxed a lot. Now he has a lot of honors in the club and is willing to stay and help young teammates grow quickly.
Today's Chelsea does not have the strength to compete for the championship, and stable reconstruction is the business, but these young players are very talented, and Lampard believes that they will have a bright future.
It's just that now they need to accept more tempering, and when accepting these setbacks, helping them maintain a healthy mentality is what old players like Lampard should do.
Hazard didn't seem too discouraged. After the game restarted, he retreated to get the ball many times. No matter how much Medel struggled, he tried to help the team open the situation on the wing.
At the same time, Mancini called Demba Ba and Benayoun on the bench to warm up the two forwards.
Everyone can see that Mancini is quite dissatisfied with Torres.
In the first half, Chelsea did not have many offensive opportunities, and Torres wasted all of them. Now it is time for Chelsea to step up their offensive efforts. Instead of continuing to trust Torres, Mancini feels that Demba Ba, who has performed well in the past two seasons More trustworthy.
In fact, in comparison, Mancini wants to introduce Dzeko, his old subordinate in Manchester City.
Aguero is now sitting firmly in Manchester City's main center position, and Dzeko has few opportunities.
If Mancini could take office at Chelsea earlier, he would definitely stop Demba Ba's transfer and try to introduce Dzeko.
It's a pity that he, like Benitez, was appointed temporarily, and he didn't have much transfer power at hand, so he could only wait and see.
Chelsea stepped up their offensive efforts when they fell behind, and Sheffield United naturally chose to shrink their formation at the first time.
With a wave of Speed's hand, Drinkwater and Medel directly settled in the midfielder positions, and Sheffield United also became a four-three-two-one formation.
The three defensive midfielders lined up in the backcourt, and Bell and Joaquin stepped in to assist in the defense. This change made Mancini very annoyed.
Playing tactics before scoring a goal, shrinking the formation and setting up the bus after scoring a goal, this Speed is really the same as Mourinho back then, how utilitarian and how to play!
Fortunately, Chelsea no longer need to push forward with the ball from the backcourt. Hazard and Mata started to look for offensive opportunities from left to right, and Chelsea can also have more offensive rounds.
No. 308 minutes into the first half, seeing Chelsea once again infiltrating from the wing to no avail, Torres couldn’t hold his position when he pulled out of the penalty area, Mancini finally couldn’t sit still, and asked Demba Ba to go to the sideline to prepare for the bench .
However, under Sheffield United's offensive round, there was no chance of a dead ball, and Demba Ba could only stand on the sidelines and wait.
At this time, almost everyone focused on the adjustment of Chelsea's upcoming substitutions.
Speed also called Dembele and De Bruyne, and it seemed that corresponding adjustments had to be made.
However, Matic pulled back the audience's vision with a precise long pass in the backcourt, and the Chelsea fans woke up.
Now is Sheffield United's offensive round. Just now Chelsea invested a lot of troops in Sheffield United's half to try to open the situation. How many defenders are there in Chelsea's defense now?
With the camera of the director, the fans quickly saw Cahill and Ivanovic who were ready to fight, and Ashley Cole who was double-teaming from the side.
This defensive posture has given Chelsea supporters a sigh of relief.
Bell didn't have time to go forward this time, and Li Mo didn't have any Sheffield United players around him. All he could do was stop the ball and retreat, or wait for Bell, who was on the sideline, to come and respond.
Mancini calmed down a little.
With the double-teaming of three people, he couldn't believe what Li Mo could do this time!
Under everyone's attention, Li Mo did choose to stop the ball with his chest first.
Ashley Cole, who was beside him, was overjoyed. As long as Li Mo stopped the ball, he would have the opportunity to stretch out his feet to intercept, and then Chelsea might still be able to fight back.
Thinking of this, Ashley Cole followed suit, trying to grab the ball.
But Li Mo's chest stop this time did not go straight up and down, but stopped the ball directly to the right side of his body.
While stopping the ball, Li Mo also turned to the right, cleverly getting out of Ashley Cole's position. Behind him, Ivanovic gave up a little space, as if he didn't want him to turn around directly. Lose.
From the point of view of a defensive player, there is no big problem with Ivanovic's approach. After all, if he sticks too closely with Li Mo, it is indeed possible that Li Mo will turn around and lead him over.
Li Mo didn't know how many times he used this trick since last season, and Ivanovic obviously studied Li Mo's back-up habits before the game.
Cahill was on the sidelines ready to come over and encircle Li Mo's itinerary with Ivanovic at any time, leaving some space between him and Li Mo, presumably because he was also afraid that Li Mo would pass him by too quickly.
But the two central defenders seem to have forgotten some important information.
That is, the area where Li Mo stopped the ball and turned around is already close to Chelsea's big penalty area, almost at the top of the arc of the penalty area.
And this position is already within Li Mo's effective shooting range!
They thought that Li Mo would choose to go beyond others, but Li Mo had already made up his mind when he stopped the ball to let Ashley Cole go.
If you dare to give him room to kick, he will only choose to shoot!
Almost at the moment of turning around, Li Mo measured the pace.
The football stopped by him fell from the air to a suitable height, and his left leg, which was swung high, aimed at Chelsea's goal like a cannon barrel.
The moment he faces the goal is the best time for him to swing his leg and shoot!
"Li Mo turned around successfully! Ivanovic actually made room for Li Mo's shot!!!"
During General Fan's passionate explanation, Li Mo straightened his instep, and the muscles on his left leg were knotted. The explosive power contained in it made the hearts of all the audience tremble!
"boom!"
When his instep hit the football hard, a horrible muffled sound also rang in the ears of several Chelsea defenders.
The football roared like a fired shell, flew across an afterimage and flew towards Chelsea's goal!
Turnbull's line of sight was almost blocked by Ivanovic. He couldn't see Li Mo's movements clearly. He only had time to see the afterimage of the football passing by his side from the corner of his eye, and finally plunged into him. In the net behind!
The hot shells stunned Chelsea's three defensive players and a goalkeeper, but Bramall Lane Stadium has already sat on the erupting volcano, worshiping their king in the crazy vibrations!
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Lee defeated Chelsea in the most Drogba way! Yes, he defeated Chelsea!!! What a drama! This is how Drogba destroyed Arsenal!!!"
The commentator of Sky Sports hugged his head and was very excited, but Li Mo had already run to the bottom line at this time and staged the kneeling celebration that Chelsea fans were most familiar with!
The legend of Warcraft continues, but this time, he no longer belongs to Chelsea!
Hurry up, it’s already past twelve o’clock. Fortunately, I’ve been out of full attendance due to illness this month, otherwise I’d probably strangle myself to death, haha.
This chapter is dedicated to Didier Drogba, to my favorite Warcraft
Since then, there will be no Warcraft in the Premier League!
