Chapter 309 The First Championship of the Season
The weather in London is rare to be strong this afternoon.
The fine sunlight shone obliquely on Wembley Stadium. Although it didn't bring much warmth to the fans at the scene, it was much better than the rainy weather.
The ponchos prepared in advance seemed to be unusable, so the fans felt a little less worried, and began to compete with their opponents in their respective camps.
The team songs on both sides were "You'll never walk alone" sung by the neutral fans. As a result, the [-] fans in the audience came to a chorus in a short while.
The Liverpool fans watching the game in front of the TV are not surprised.
The birth of YNWA can be traced back to the 40s. It was not Liverpool's exclusive team song at the beginning. Since it was sung, it has become a kind of fan culture in English football and even world football.
Especially in English football, no matter which club the fans are, as long as someone takes the lead, they can always hum this classic song proficiently.
Sheffield United and Swansea don't have much grievances at the club level, so at the moment the fans of both sides are still cooperating, and after singing a song together, they compete with each other again.
However, when the referee team led the players of the two teams into the stadium together, the fans couldn't care less about the competition, and cheered for their players with all their voices!
The momentum of 9 people cheering together is amazing.
Even though the players of Sheffield United have seen a lot of big scenes, it is still difficult for them to suppress the surging emotion in their hearts under such a scene.
For Swansea players, getting 9 people to watch their games is already considered a career success.
And Wembley Stadium will always hold a special place in the hearts of English players.
Foreign players like Li Mo and Michu may not feel it, but the local players in England may stimulate more potential in this stadium.
Under this kind of spiritual inspiration, it is not impossible for the weak to defeat the strong. Although the probability is very small, at least facing the enemy bravely and having a firm belief in winning the championship is the first step to create a miracle.
In the League Cup final of the 10-11 season, Birmingham's victory over Arsenal gave the Swansea players great encouragement and motivation.
Although Arsenal at the time could not compare to the current strong Sheffield United, their Swansea was also much stronger than Birmingham, which was in the relegation zone at the time.
Birmingham can beat Arsenal 2-1 when they are at the bottom of the league. Swansea is now almost in the top ten of the league. Why don't they dare to dream boldly for once?
With this kind of positive attitude of giving it a go, the Swansea players stepped onto the field full of fighting spirit, and Li Mo on the side couldn't help but stare sideways at that confident aura.
"What a group of courageous guys!"
Hearing Sommer's muttering behind him, Li Mo secretly agreed in his heart.
After all, it is the same as Sheffield United, a team that fights game by game to the end. It even defeated Chelsea in the semi-finals. It is normal for Swansea to have this kind of momentum.
In the face of such opponents, it is natural to try our best to defeat them, so that we can fully express our respect and respect.
Swansea must do their best, and Sheffield United will not give up in the slightest. If you want to win the championship, then each depends on his own ability. In the end, the performance on the pitch must speak.
"Then let's play a sufficiently exciting game together!"
The corner of Li Mo's mouth raised, and he walked forward firmly. He was ready for a big fight!
※※※
After the opening ceremony, the game officially entered the countdown, and the commentators from various countries also started their work.
Today, Sina Sports still sent Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu, the ace pair, to explain the final of the League Cup.
Huaguo time kicks off at midnight, and Director Zhang is still fine. At this moment, he is cheerfully picking up Zhan Jun's words and killing the time before the start of the game.
"Xiao Li also came out wearing a mask today. According to English media reports, Xiao Li's injury is not a major problem, but before he fully recovers, the Sheffield United Club urgently ordered a mask for him to be on the safe side. mask.
I reckon it may be Speed’s request. He is definitely unwilling to see Xiao Li get injured on the court again. The brow bone is also very fragile. It is inevitable that he will bump into it in the top fight and get injured again. It will be troublesome. "
"Yes, the main reason is that the Champions League knockout round and the League Cup final are too close together. If it can be delayed for a few days, Li Mo should have almost recovered, but even if we wear a mask, our audience Don't worry too much, this is just the club's protection for Li Mo, in fact Li Mo is fine, otherwise Speed would not have arranged for him to start today."
Under the explanation of the two, the fans of Huaguo felt relieved.
Li Mo will hardly return to China to participate in the rest of the world preliminaries and friendly matches this year, which makes many domestic fans who have been infected with "silent addiction" can only rely on the Premier League and a few cup games to relieve their addiction symptoms.
So as long as there is a game where Li Mo plays, no matter how late the domestic fans are, they will always watch in front of the TV or computer on time.
The UEFA Champions League knockout match between Sheffield United and Galatasaray attracted a large number of domestic fans to watch.
At that time, when Li Mo got injured in the UEFA Champions League, many domestic fans were frightened. Now that Li Mo can still start the game, the fans are completely relieved.
With the Hua Guo team qualifying ahead of schedule in the world preliminaries, Li Mo said that it is not too much to say that it is a baby bump in the hearts of fans all over the country. Compared with continuing to shine in the Champions League, the fans want to see Li Mo in good health every time. On and off the field.
After all, those stars of hope who were ruined by injuries brought a lot of pain to Huaguo fans. If Li Mo also folded in the European League, it would be the biggest tragedy in Huaguo sports.
Fortunately, Li Mo's physical fitness is as good as ever. Just like what Zhan Jun said, if Speed dared to send him to continue to start, he must have obtained the permission of the team doctor.
It's that mask that always seems to make domestic fans a little worried.
If Swansea plays tricks, I wonder if that mask can protect Li Mo from being hurt again?
Fans in Huaguo were worried about Li Mo, but the game still started on time. After Li Mo kicked the ball to Bell, Zhan Jun also quickly read the opening remarks, and began to make arrangements for the starting lineup of both sides. for analysis.
"Speed made a lot of adjustments to the starting lineup today, and the formation did not choose the four-four-two that Sheffield United is best at, but a four-two-three-one formation to deal with Swansea's four-four-two. , quite a strange move, the five midfielders allow Sheffield United to control the field more freely, but the configuration of a single striker also makes Li Mo need more to attack Swansea's defense alone, which is a bit of a deal. Come on!"
Zhang Lu nodded, and continued to analyze Zhan Jun's words:
"Speed probably guessed Laudrup's arrangement. If they also played [-], Sheffield United's offensive will be fierce, but Bell, Medel, including Vardy, these people's physical reserves It is a problem. If the defense is not timely, it is likely to give Swansea room to use on the wing.
Changing to [-] would be a lot safer. Bale couldn’t return to defense in time. De Bruyne, who played central midfielder today, can help him make up for it. Joaquin on the right didn’t play in the last round of the Champions League, and his physical fitness is fine. With the double midfielder combination of Drinkwater and Matic, Swansea has little room to make a fuss in the midfield.
As for the question of a single striker, I think it's okay. De Bruyne ambushed behind Xiao Li today and ran more. He has the ability to shoot, and if he really can't break the deadlock, he can be replaced by Vardy. "
The two have no opinion on Speed's arrangement, and it is feasible to play more safely in the opening stage of the final.
And Sheffield United's ability to change formations is also very strong. Even if they don't change players, push Bell and Joaquin up the front line, and pull De Bruyne back, they can change into four-three-three in an instant.
The only pity is that Trippier still failed to make a successful comeback in the near future, and he may not be able to play in the next round of the league. His absence has made Sheffield United's offensive on the right side lack the sharpness of the past, and Joaquin also needs to take on more responsibilities Offensive responsibility.
Matthew Lorton's defensive ability is online, but his simple and direct way of attacking is not enough in Premier League games.
Fortunately, the tacit understanding between him and Li Mo has always been good. If Speed has a tactical design, he should be able to achieve good results.
After the game started, Li Mo plunged headlong into the defensive crowd in the backcourt of Swansea.
It's not yet time for him to play. Drinkwater will lead his teammates in the midfield to deal with Swansea for a while, and find out each other. He also wants to try after Swansea today. The defensive state of the players.
Players from the two sides have played against each other twice in the league. Knowing the basics is not counted, but they are quite familiar with some of each other's technical characteristics.
Seeing the figure posted by Li Mo, both Ashley Williams and Ben Davis felt subconsciously nervous.
Swansea's midfielder Britton is staring at De Bruyne, for fear that he will suddenly kick a long pass to find Li Mo.
It is true that Li Mo gave him a stress response in the league.
In other words, teams without tall central defenders in the Premier League will react like this when they encounter Sheffield United.
Li Mo knows how to use his body to bully defenders who don't have a high altitude advantage.
Swansea City was hit by Li Mo's head hammer before. The two central defenders they started today, Ashley Williams, can barely stand up, but the old captain Monk who is only 1.8 meters is very difficult. Li Mo one-on-one.
Once Li Mo is allowed to rush up to compete for the top, Monk may only watch Li Mo head the goal except for fouls, so Swansea dare not hope that the defense will suppress Li Mo's performance, and they still focus on defense. In midfield.
Now many teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League will choose to cut off the oppressive defensive play of the Sheffield United midfielder and Li Mo to try to prevent Li Mo from scoring.
Although Li Mo's goals are still unabated, but at least from the appearance of the scene, Sheffield United is indeed going to spend more time to patiently conduct in order to create opportunities for Li Mo.
And the little time that was dragged out is what Swansea wants to take advantage of today.
They may not be able to stop Li Mo's goal, but the later this moment comes, the better it is for them. If they can score a goal before Sheffield United breaks the deadlock, the situation on the field will change dramatically.
Of course, if Li Mo breaks out once, retreats to catch the ball and then scores goals with several players in a row, then Laudrup will have nothing to say.
Fortunately, everything seems to be going well so far. Sheffield United put more energy on competing for the control of the midfield. De Bruyne did not get a chance to pass the ball forward under strict surveillance. The players continued to drag Sheffield United to test each other step by step.
Drinkwater didn't notice anything wrong at the beginning, but after playing for almost 10 minutes, Swansea still had patience and did not launch an offensive easily. Drinkwater felt that Laudrup's tactics were designed It's weird.
This season, when the mid-lower teams in the Premier League played against Sheffield United in the league, they basically defended in the first half and waited for an opportunity to counterattack. In the second half, they may change their formation and strengthen their offense to grab a start.
But Swansea’s style of play today, you can say that he mainly focuses on defense, he doesn’t have a lot of people in the backcourt, instead he fights with Sheffield United in the midfield, but you want to say that he wants to compete with Sheffield United for control Right, but I don't have much idea of investing in troops to strengthen midfield control.
If the tactics focus on one side, more players will inevitably be invested in this aspect. Whether it is defensive offense or organization control, no matter how the tactics change, this most basic principle cannot be escaped.
So Drinkwater quickly reacted after discovering that Swansea's tactics were wrong.
How can Swansea want to compete with them for control in the midfield? It is clear that they want to drag Sheffield United's offensive and try to kill time!
Although I don't know what Swansea's idea is, but Drinkwater will not be used to Laudrup who is thinking about it, and directly starts to organize and speed up.
This sudden rhythm change made Laudrup on the sidelines jump in his heart!
He originally designed the team to change around 10 minutes, allowing Pablo Hernandez, who has a strong support ability, to disrupt Sheffield United's defense. Routledge stormed Matthew Lorton on the left, and then gave Michu created an offensive opportunity to retreat and plug in.
But now it seems that before Speed can make adjustments, the core midfielder of Sheffield United has already seen his "unruly intentions".
With the acceleration of Sheffield United, Swansea must also keep up with the rhythm, and the subsequent tactical deployment must be adjusted accordingly, otherwise it will completely fall into the continuous offensive rhythm of Sheffield United.
Other aspects are easy to say, Swansea also made tactical targets against Bale's advance today, but once the formation is compressed by Sheffield United, how to deal with Li Mo will become a headache for the entire Swansea team.
Laudrup really didn't dare to play positional battle with Sheffield United in the first half. Li Mo's offensive ability is strong and rigorous. Not to mention the best in European football, at least it is unique in English football.
Sheffield United picked up the sledgehammer named Li Mo and smashed it to pieces for how many teams put up iron barrel formations.
Trija Ivanovic's combination of central defenders failed to stop Li Mo, and Ferdinand Gavedic's combination also failed to stop him. Laudrup did not dare to be arrogant enough to think that his defense line could limit Li Mo's performance today.
"The formation cannot be compressed, it must be pushed out!"
Laudrup quickly made a decision and stood on the sidelines to signal Swansea's backcourt players to push the defense out, at least to the top of the center circle.
Once pressed into the defensive third area, whether Sheffield United kicks off from the wing or attacks from the center, Li Mo's existence will be a machete hanging over Swansea's head, and one hit can kill the old man. The kind of life!
Speed first looked at the situation in the venue calmly. When Laudrup was in a hurry to adjust, he touched his chin and made the same decision as Drinkwater.
The five midfielders don't necessarily need to slowly organize the attack, completely drive the opponent's players out of the midfield area and press them as a whole.
The five midfielders can also play a fast offensive advancement after the variation. Whether it is Bell on the left or De Bruyne who can pull the side to the right when attacking, their advancement speed is not slow.
Coupled with the organizational transfer of Drinkwater and Joaquin, the offensive on both sides of Sheffield United started very quickly. No matter how timely Laudrup adjusted, Swansea's two wings of defense still retreated again and again.
At the critical moment, even Routledge and Nathandale's retreat helped the defense stabilize the situation.
Michu also directly withdrew to the midfield. It seems that Laudrup is still very well prepared before the game. The Swansea players put a lot of effort into defense. There are almost nine players in the backcourt. However, this wave of Sheffield United's offensive was still contained.
"interesting."
Li Mo looked at the Swansea players who were earnestly implementing tactics, and gave a fairly high evaluation.
Swansea's defense is somewhat imitating the shadow of Sheffield United, actively oppressing, scrambling and covering without hesitation. Although the ability to intercept and steal is much worse, it does delay the Sheffield United midfielder and Li Mo to establish a connection process.
But imitation is just imitation after all. Sheffield United’s active pressing is ultimately either to launch a quick counterattack on the spot after stealing the ball, or to force the threatening battle as far away from the own half as possible to ensure the safety of the third defensive area.
Swansea's defense was only to slow down the pace of Sheffield United's forward pressure. They could neither threaten to counterattack nor force Sheffield United's offensive back. They were still passively adjusting their tactics in essence.
There is always a way to deal with a non-aggressive defense. The offensive side just needs to think more about how to break the game.
For Sheffield United, this most difficult step can be omitted directly, they just need to find a way to safely transport the ball to Li Mo's side.
Whether it's head or foot, Li Mo always has a way to come up with at least one reliable attack plan while protecting the ball.
Whether it is Bell or De Bruyne, they will start their offensive position selection around Li Mo. As long as they go to the weak side of Swansea's defense, they will always get good offensive opportunities after a few downs.
It's a simple tactic, isn't it?
But Swansea can't crack it, let alone Swansea, now there is a team in the Premier League that counts as a team, it is difficult to crack Sheffield United's tactics that are similar to rogues.
After all, the super central defenders in the Premier League are now at the end of their careers. Without the kind of superstar central defender who can compete with Li Mo, Sheffield United can naturally use this trick to do whatever they want.
And to expand the scope to the entire European football world, there are not many central defenders of the rich teams who dare to say that Li Mo is safe.
Because with the development of the times, the requirements of the major leagues for players are very different from ten years ago.
Heavy center forwards are gradually disappearing after being ignored, and heavy center backs will naturally no longer be popular. There are no teams to want them. Over time, the youth training of various countries has turned to cultivate more mobile and more comprehensive defenders.
So when Li Mo's enhanced version of the monster center reappeared, it suddenly created a situation where almost no defenders could defend one-on-one.
Li Mo not only has all the conditions that a heavy center needs to possess, but also has the mobility and tactical discipline emphasized by a modern striker.
So Speed is very convenient when using him. You can refer to Chelsea's use of Drogba to let him be a battering hammer and a big fulcrum, and you can also let other offensive players cover him to complete the goal.
When necessary, Speed can even let Li Mo break through and tear apart the opponent's line of defense locally.
With such a changeable style and the most prominent big center attributes, how do you let other Premier League teams deal with such monsters?
For Sheffield United, Li Mo is their master key to solve all offensive problems. Maybe this kind of tactics seems that the Sheffield United team is too dependent on Li Mo, but there is such an unsolvable big killer, do not rely on him Wouldn't it be more stupid?
"Swansea's defensive strength may not be maintained for too long. After all, they are a more technical offensive team. The establishment of a defensive system takes a lot of time for players to adapt. Sheffield United has increased For Li Mo's passing support, there is still hope to find a chance to score before the end of the first half."
Zhang Lu's support for Xie Feilian and Li Mo was as undisguised as before. In contrast, Zhan Jun seemed a little reserved.
"Laudrup's tactical arrangement today is still effective. At least for now, Sheffield United has not really scored in the hinterland of Swansea, as long as Li Mo does not have to fight against Gary Monk and Ashley William at high altitude. Swansea's chance, then Swansea's defense on the ground may still prevent Li Mo from scoring, we still have to see how the coaches of both sides will adjust in the next game."
To understand this sentence from another angle, Sheffield United should build a stable passing fort on both wings as soon as possible, and let Li Mo play his high-altitude advantage as soon as possible.
Whether it's Bell, De Bruyne, or Joaquin, these are all good players in the legend.
And looking at the 1.8-meter Gary Monk and the 1.8-meter-three Ashley Williams, what do these players need to hesitate?
Directly blowing it in at 45 degrees will make Li Mo happy!
As for the possibility of Swansea arranging multiple defensive players to fight for the top to limit Li Mo, it cannot be said that there is no possibility, but that is only a temporary restriction.
Li Mo didn't need to succeed in both back and forth fights. He was a center forward, and he only needed to seize those one or two chances to kill the game.
And no matter how Swansea's defensive players try to destroy Sheffield United's cross, their disadvantage in the top battle is already doomed. No matter how careful they are, they will always appear in the face of Sheffield United's continuous bombing. So many mistakes.
The rest depends on Li Mo's state today. If the deadlock cannot be broken in the first half, then it will not be too late for Speed to make adjustments in the second half.
Berbatov, Vardy and Dirk are all sitting on the bench. Sheffield United has no shortage of good players when they need to attack.
After 10 minutes in the first half, Sheffield United, who had patiently overwhelmed the halftime, also began to try to kick the ball from the two wings.
The coaches on the sidelines can also see the situation that can be seen by the commentators. The difference is that some coaches always like to watch the development of the situation again, while some coaches directly adjust decisively.
Speed naturally belongs to the latter. With a few adjustments, Sheffield United's offensive mode quickly switched to their good side penetration.
De Bruyne's daring pass caused two mistakes with his team-mate in just a few minutes, but his sharp through ball also saw Bale almost burst into the Swansea penalty area. !
Speed can bear the surprises and disadvantages that De Bruyne's double-edged sword brings to the team, but Laudrup obviously can't stand it.
De Bruyne's successful through pass 2 minutes ago almost made his heart stop beating!
Had it not been for the right back Rangel to get down to the ground and shovel the ball before Bell entered the penalty area in time, Swansea might have fallen behind by this time.
The existence of Li Mo restrained Swansea's too much defensive energy. Bale and Joaquin changed positions frequently in front of Swansea's defense line. As long as there is a defensive weak side, De Bruyne doesn't care if anyone sees it. When he is free, his pass is always the first to pass.
Under such continuous infiltration and involvement, the forts on the two wings of Sheffield United are still relatively stable.
Swansea should keep an eye on Sheffield United's forward momentum, and the protection of the two flanks will inevitably reduce their troops.
However, Bell, who was trying to play behind Swansea before, has changed from an assaulter to a passing master. He judges Li Mo's running route as soon as he gets the ball, and then gives an early pass. .
Joaquin on the right or De Bruyne, who had switched positions, were not to be outdone, and showed their footwork one after another.
For a while, the air defense alarm was sounded directly in Swansea's penalty area. Not only Li Mo pressed Swansea's double central defenders to try to complete the header, but Matic also came in from time to time to top it, making Swansea The backline is under pressure.
Although at this time Sheffield United only has Drinkwater as a midfielder and maintains a safe position, when the players on both sides take the ball, De Bruyne or Joaquin who are free will also consciously retreat. One point, always be alert to possible counterattacks from Swansea.
Their interception ability may be slightly worse, but timely fouls can still be done. As long as they don't get a card, it is still very cost-effective to get a few warnings to stop Swansea from counterattacking.
Under such comprehensive suppression, although the Swansea players are in good physical condition and have plenty of physical fitness, they will inevitably feel a little tired because of their tense spirits.
The few rare opportunities to counterattack were quickly interrupted by Sheffield United. After the re-kick-off, they entered the oppressive rhythm of Sheffield United's positional warfare. Facing enormous mental pressure.
After all, Swansea is following the Spanish-style ground technology flow, but the technology has not reached a sufficiently good level, and the tactical effect of playing against mid-lower teams or even general strong teams may be good.
But when they encounter an oppressive team like Sheffield United and cannot enter their own conduction rhythm, the scene of the game will become very ugly.
After all, defense is not their strong point. If you let an offensive team withstand the opponent's attack first, and only after it survives can they have a chance to launch a counterattack, isn't that nonsense.
Not competing with stronger opponents in the field that one is good at is equivalent to a kind of slow suicide.
Laudrup may have believed too much in the tenacity of his players, or the statements of the Swansea players before the game gave him a wrong perception, so that after the game entered the familiar rhythm of Sheffield United, He didn't readjust his defensive strategy immediately.
Such mistakes made Swansea quickly enter a defensive dilemma. Li Mo's jumping again and again made it very difficult for Ashley Williams to cope. He even had to ask the taller Ji Chengyong to return. The restricted area came to help defend.
Swansea's old captain Monk is more to assist Ashley Williams to double-team Li Mo, or to interfere with Matic entering the penalty area.
He is about to be 34 years old, and he is not a particularly talented player, and his single-defense ability continues to decline as he ages.
Now relying on his defensive experience, he can still assist Ashley Williams to stabilize the team's defense, but if he is asked to face Li Mo directly, it is almost like handing the knife to Sheffield United himself.
Fortunately, this veteran has a clear self-knowledge, and has always been very smart to avoid a direct confrontation with Li Mo, which has also allowed Swansea's defense to survive until now and has not declared its fall.
But things are unpredictable. When you are more afraid of something happening, the probability of it happening will be higher.
Gary Monk has always believed that he will not have any one-on-one chances with Li Mo in this game. Even if Ashley Williams occasionally loses position a few times, Ki Chengyong and Britton will return to the penalty area in time to assist him Complete the double-teaming of Li Mo.
But fate always likes to play tricks on prudent and honest people.
In the 304th minute of the first half, Joaquin's pass from the right was pushed back by Ben Davis. After regaining control of the ball, Joaquin chose to pass the ball back to Matthew Lorton who came up to respond.
Matthew Lorton then knocked the ball horizontally to De Bruyne who raised his hands to ask for the ball. At this time, Swansea's double midfielders were pressed in front of the penalty area line, and Michu jumped over to interfere with De Bruyne's side. , De Bruyne ignored him, but suddenly accelerated the speed of advancing with the ball.
Seeing this, Britton stepped up and tried to force De Bruyne to stop.
At this time, almost everyone thought that De Bruyne would knock the ball back to Drinkwater under pressure, or draw the distance from Britton.
Li Mo paced in Swansea's penalty area and looked at De Bruyne who was dribbling the ball, and he didn't mean to move at all.
But De Bruyne chose to harden the defensive pressure at this time!
Britton's defense was slightly pushed away by his raised left arm, and before the forced tilt of his body, De Bruyne quickly looked up and observed, and then decisively hit the front rib near the Swansea penalty area The position of the area kicked off and sent out a rumor!
This is a slightly hasty pass, but no matter in terms of ball speed or arc, it is also a beautiful and sudden enough pass.
Ashley Williams, who was at the front point, reacted immediately and moved quickly in the direction of Li Mo.
At this time, he doesn't care about Bell or Matic, he only has Li Mo in his eyes, and he also believes that the Belgian kid will only pass the ball to Li Mo!
But a red and white figure blocked his way even faster.
It's Bell!
Bell didn't rush for some running positions, nor waited for Li Mo's possible header to ferry over. Instead, he rushed towards his national team teammates in a daze after inserting into the penalty area!
Ashley Williams couldn't care less about his friendship with Bell at this moment. In desperation, he directly tried to push Bell who was blocking his way.
Bell fell to the ground quickly after hitting Ashley Williams, but this time it was not to cheat a penalty kick, and the referee would not blow the whistle for this level of physical confrontation.
He just wanted to grab another Ashley Williams jersey before he fell to the ground.
This light action, placed in other offensive and defensive scenes, at most makes the opponent feel a little uncomfortable, and it has nothing to do with "dirty".
But at this moment, Ashley Williams felt extremely bad because of the one or two seconds of Bell's delay!
Because at the last point, after Gary Monk asked for help to no avail, he had no choice but to jump up with Li Mo. This was a major mistake in Swansea's defense line, and it was also the perfect opportunity that Li Mo had been waiting for. !
De Bruyne's sudden pilling and Bell's brainstorm gave Li Mo a one-on-one chance with Monk this time.
And at the moment when Monk and Li Mo took off together, Monk and Swansea had already lost!
What he has to face is the current No. [-] air fighter in English football, the Sheffield United Demon King who has absolute dominance in the air!
"De Bruyne needs to get rid of it. The cross! Ashley Williams was stopped by Bale! Li Mo's single-handed chance!"
Zhan Jun's eyes widened, finally waiting for this moment, he and Zhang Lu both leaned slightly and stared at the live broadcast screen, for fear of missing the wonderful moment that might appear next!
Li Mo fully stretched his body in the air, and De Bruyne's pass was a bit high, so high that Munch immediately felt desperate after taking off.
But Li Mo felt that it was just right, the height of his full-strength jump allowed him to complete the movement of swinging his head and attacking the goal comfortably, and Munch's interference was like scratching an itch, and it couldn't affect him at all!
Facing the slightly falling football in the air, Li Mo used his strong momentum to complete the movement of shaking his head and attacking the goal almost instantly.
Even though there is a layer of mask behind him, Li Mo can still feel that the football part in his head is very accurate.
Amidst the exclamation of the fans, Li Mo stared straight at the football flying towards the Swansea goal.
The trajectory with almost no arc is just like his determination to win the championship. He hit the target fiercely. No one can stop the ball from entering the net, even if Swansea's goalkeeper Tremel has four hands today. also can not!
When the football passed the palm of Tremel's interception and hit the net!When the familiar white ripples began to stir non-stop!When the crazy cheers of Sheffield United fans reappeared at Wembley!
Li Mo landed on the ground, patted his chest, and put his hands by his ears flamboyantly!
Sheffield United's terrifying demon king reappears in the world! ! !
"The ball went in——!!! The ball went in! Li Mo successfully smashed open the gate of Swansea with an unstoppable header! Swansea's line of defense, which had been holding on for more than half an hour, was declared defeated at this moment! Swansea's captain Gary Monk couldn't stop Li Mo's determination to score! Li Mo did it! Sheffield United did it too! They took the lead in knocking on the door of victory at this moment, and they successfully dragged the game into their Favorite rhythm! Swansea, Laudrup, need to think more!"
Zhan Jun's voice became a little hoarse as he roared, but his mood was agitated. Li Mo always played the most important role of a hero!
Two League Cup finals in two years, both times Li Mo opened the scoring!
With the expectations of countless people, Li Mo never disappoints!
Since leading Sheffield United out of the relegation zone of the English Championship, he has always been the most trusted hero in Sheffield United!
And such a hero player comes from Huaguo, how can Zhan Jun not be very excited!
Zhang Lu laughed on his own. He was not as excited as last year when he saw Li Mo open the scoring for the first time. He only felt infinitely gratified in his heart.
Like Zhan Jun and many Chinese fans, he watched Li Mo step by step from the English Championship to the Premier League, and then watched him lead Sheffield United to the Quartet, and established his current great reputation.
Compared with many young fans who regard Li Mo as an idol, Zhang Lu treats Li Mo more like a progressive junior.
He was also worried that Li Mo would be tempted a lot in English football, and maybe one day he would waste his talent and become a person who hurt Zhongyong.
But after more than two years, Li Mo has set an example for countless young people with his diligent training and low-key off-court life.
There is no need to be extravagant or extravagant. Players should use their performance on the court to attract the attention of the public instead of accumulating popularity with negative lace news.
And now Li Mo has indeed fulfilled his promise to Sheffield United fans and China fans.
He helped Sheffield United win another top domestic cup championship in England in the past 75 years, and helped the Hua Guo team once again break out of Asia and enter the World Cup stage. Now, he will help Sheffield United win another League Cup. Championship trophy.
It doesn't seem to be a big achievement, but Li Mo is step by step, dragging a club and a national team to rise strongly!
Zhang Lu didn't worry that Li Mo would go astray for a long time, but after witnessing Li Mo's opening goal in another final stage, Zhang Lu finally firmly believed that Li Mo would permanently leave himself in the world football name!
Even though it's still too early to make such a conclusion, Zhang Lu firmly believes that Li Mo's traits will help him win everything in the future!
And the only thing these fans and industry insiders have to do is to wait patiently and witness quietly.
This kid won't let them down, he's already on a career path called greatness!
※※※
When those clear, deafening cheers and excited shouts came from all directions, Li Mo was fascinated.
He likes this feeling, likes to play happily on an important stage, and fully release his passion!
And when his teammates rushed over like a swarm of bees, hugging him passionately and roaring in celebration, Li Mo immediately grinned.
The temptation of the championship title is always irresistible to the players. Even though they have won the League Cup once last year, they are still uncontrollably excited when they can touch this trophy again.
"We have to fucking win the championship! This year I'm going to fill it with champagne and drink it! I've been wanting to do it, guys, want to come together!"
Matthew Lorton yelled out the wish in his heart, and Li Mo also laughed.
"I'll be with you at that time! But you have to wash the trophy before drinking it, otherwise you may have diarrhea on the news the next day!"
The other Sheffield United players immediately laughed around Li Mo, while Bell and Joaquin looked at each other and smiled, obviously very moved.
The two of them said that it has only been half a year since joining Sheffield United, and they are about to get a championship trophy. They are excited and excited, but also a little lucky.
It is said that the success of a team requires the selection of suitable players, but why doesn't the success of a player require joining the right club?
Sheffield United is not a giant, but now, all the fans and the media have to admit that Sheffield United is undoubtedly a strong team with a championship temperament!
Both Bell and Joaquin felt lucky to be able to join Sheffield United before their complete rise. This is not only a great process for the rise of a team, but also the best opportunity for each player to become famous in Europe and the world.
And no one thinks too many championship honors, the League Cup is just the beginning, and there are FA Cup and league championships waiting for them to fight for.
Even if they fail in the Champions League this season and win the "Triple Crown" in England, that is something that all the players in the team can be proud of!
"Hey, hey, we can't celebrate for too long, or the boss will think we are drifting again, go back and do a good job of defense, if we have a chance, we will attack them again, if we don't have a chance, try to control the ball at our feet, in the second half we will completely Lay the victory! Come on, come on, come on!"
In the end, Li Mo calmly asked his teammates to go back to the halftime. They will celebrate for a while, and it will be interesting. It will not be too late to celebrate after the game is completely won.
And Speed, who was still celebrating passionately just now, really walked to the sidelines and made a "keep calm" gesture to the Sheffield United players.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of the audience, the Swansea players looked nervously at their coach on the sidelines.
But Laudrup was also a little uncomfortable. Sheffield United broke the deadlock in the 10 minutes of the first half. Suitable.
After thinking about it for a few minutes, Laudrup made up his mind when the game was about to restart, let the Swansea players on the field control the field first, and not let Sheffield United score the first half before the end of the first half. For the second goal, he will make adjustments at halftime.
This result disappointed Speed and Sheffield United players somewhat.
Laudrup was very sensible at the critical moment and did not make an impulsive choice, otherwise Sheffield United, which was preparing for a counterattack, might really have a chance to play a threatening attack before halftime.
But disappointment is disappointment. The Sheffield United team is quite satisfied with the result of taking the lead in the first half.
Under the rare "tacit cooperation" between the two sides, the score of 1-0 was maintained until the end of halftime, and the players on both sides hurried back to their respective locker rooms.
Speed was not stingy with his praise. After closing the door of the locker room, he praised all the players first, and then quickly arranged the tactics for the second half.
And under the leadership of the assistant coach, Vardy, Berbatov, Dirk, Dembele, and Medel also stayed on the court to warm up. This scene made the Swansea fans bewildered .
Most of the people who warmed up were offensive players. They really couldn't figure out Sheffield United, or Speed's intentions.
"Could it be that they will launch a fierce offensive in the second half?"
As soon as this idea came out, the mood of many Swansea fans became worse.
In the first half, the Swansea team invested a lot of troops in the defense with the best energy and physical fitness, but they still failed to stop Li Mo's goal.
If Sheffield United, which is physically dominant in the second half, continues to attack, how long can Swansea last?
If you can't equalize as soon as possible before conceding the second goal, the score of 2-0 will be enough for Sheffield United to completely turn their advantage into a victory.
After all, Sheffield United's coach has made all the Premier League fans feel toothache since last season. At the critical moment, Li Mo can turn into a central defender. Sheffield United can have one more defensive player without changing players. Who can stand it!
Unlike the concerns of Swansea fans, Sheffield United fans have already celebrated in the stands.
A 1-0 score is not guaranteed, but Sheffield United fans firmly believe that they will not only score this one goal.
After all, Swansea is the more anxious side now. They have to press out in advance to fight Sheffield United. Sheffield United has a better chance of scoring than Swansea even if they counterattack with peace of mind.
And only on rare occasions does Speed play conservative after 1-0.
Even if you want to stick to it, you have to spend at least two goals. No matter what, 2-0 is safer than 1-0.
So there is still something to watch in the second half. Sheffield United fans have long been used to it. Speed likes to watch how the opponent adjusts after taking the lead, and then strangles the opponent's seven inches in a targeted manner.
Today, Sheffield United fans don't want to watch any exciting battles. The most important thing is to win the championship safely, so Speed can't be too stable.
It is better to follow Swansea's goal until the end of the game, that is the best process of the game.
With the different moods of the fans on both sides, the game resumed in the second half soon. Sheffield United and Swansea switched sides to fight again. Li Mo moved his body and walked onto the pitch with his teammates, waiting for Swansea's kick-off.
But when the referee blew the whistle to start the second half, the players of Sheffield United were surprised to find that Swansea was not eager to start the game, but sorted out the midfield and spread out the formation first.
Drinkwater was not careless, and signaled his teammates to pay attention to Swansea's tactical changes. Even Li Mo retreated to the center circle first, wanting to see what Swansea was planning.
The prudence of Sheffield United made the Swansea players very helpless. If the opponent does not come out, they can only press past them. They can't always pass the ball in the backcourt, right?
Compared with the first half, Michu increased the number of times he took the ball, but under Matic's strict supervision, he still didn't get any good chances to get in.
The two sides played peacefully for almost 10 minutes. Swansea finally couldn't help but make the move first. Michu was pushed into the center forward position, and Pablo Hernandez was on the left and right. Routledge He and Nathandale also pushed forward to the outside of Sheffield United's defensive third area, with a full offensive posture.
Seeing this, Sheffield United directly changed positions and shrank the formation. Joaquin went to the center and served as the first point of possession when counterattacking. De Bruyne pulled the side to limit Routledge's breakthrough. Bell on the left used speed It was very uncomfortable for the players who ate Nathandale to death and targeted the players on the two wings of Swansea.
Laudrup just felt very tired at this moment. If he didn't change, Speed would not change.
The key is that no matter how the Swansea players on the field adjust or change positions, once Speed changes positions, his tactical intentions will also be eaten to death.
This is the benefit of having several versatile midfielders on the field.
Both De Bruyne and Joaquin are now trained by Speed to be able to play in the center and the side. Among them, De Bruyne can play in the left, center and right positions. Playing the midfielder makes Speed's tactical changes extremely convenient.
Under such flexible adjustments, whether Laudrup wants to widen the attack from the side or play a strong attack in the middle, Sheffield United can guarantee to target your key attackers in Swansea.
Hey, anyway, the game is targeting. Isn’t your Michu good at getting in the back?
Swansea attacked hard for a while, and the offensive players on the two wings were tortured by Sheffield United's full-backs and full-backs. , Laudrup can only signal that the team as a whole is on top.
This is a life gamble. Laudrup knows the consequences of being hit by Sheffield United, but time waits for no one. After a while, 75 minutes later, Speed puts the iron barrel on the line, and the game is even more exciting. No need to play.
Because they don't have a trick to break the bus in Swansea!
Don't look at Michu's height of nearly 1.9 meters, but he is not a center forward at all. Now pushing him to the center position is just to make him closer to Sheffield United's goal.
Otherwise, he would have been waiting in the middle to die.
And the Sheffield United generals who finally waited until Swansea pressed on were so rampant in their hearts that they laughed.
Speed squeezed his palms, staring intently at the changes in the situation on the field.
He believes in the abilities of his disciples, and he is also waiting for the next suitable opportunity.
Sheffield United is only one chance away from the championship, and if they score another goal, Swansea will not be able to make waves!
The Swansea players naturally knew this, so at this tense and exciting moment, they all pressed on like crazy, and launched their offensive rhythm decisively and apprehensively.
In the No.601 minute of the second half, Michu received the ball from Routledge in the rib space, turned around and volleyed directly!
This left-footed volley was Michu's first shot to hit the goal, and it was almost the best attacking opportunity for Swansea.
But under Sommer's all-out save, the shot and the goal seemed so far away!
Before the Swansea players felt regretful in their hearts, Vertonghen, who got Sommer to save the football, drove forward with a long pass.
When the football crossed most of the pitch and finally fell under Li Mo's control, the Swansea fans were really relieved.
Britton was run over by Li Mo with his back. De Bruyne, who was plugging in on the right, raised his hand to ask for the ball. Li Mo saw this and sent a through.
Three seconds later, De Bruyne took a moment to observe, and directly sent a sticking cut through the east-west direction of Swansea's defense line!
Bell's high-speed insertion on the left made Swansea's backcourt players almost desperate, and no one could keep up!
When Bell entered the Swansea penalty area, almost everyone thought that Bell would shoot directly. As a result, Bell passed the ball back to the middle of the Swansea penalty area. Mok has already left Ji Chengyong far away, and Britten is catching up!
Simply swinging his legs and pushing the shot, the football putter hit the net, Tremel's reaction was a beat slower, and Li Mo scored twice!
And off the court, Speed began to gallop on the sidelines passionately!
The first championship of the season is here!
Gan, there are [-] words missing, I will make up tomorrow!
(End of this chapter)
The weather in London is rare to be strong this afternoon.
The fine sunlight shone obliquely on Wembley Stadium. Although it didn't bring much warmth to the fans at the scene, it was much better than the rainy weather.
The ponchos prepared in advance seemed to be unusable, so the fans felt a little less worried, and began to compete with their opponents in their respective camps.
The team songs on both sides were "You'll never walk alone" sung by the neutral fans. As a result, the [-] fans in the audience came to a chorus in a short while.
The Liverpool fans watching the game in front of the TV are not surprised.
The birth of YNWA can be traced back to the 40s. It was not Liverpool's exclusive team song at the beginning. Since it was sung, it has become a kind of fan culture in English football and even world football.
Especially in English football, no matter which club the fans are, as long as someone takes the lead, they can always hum this classic song proficiently.
Sheffield United and Swansea don't have much grievances at the club level, so at the moment the fans of both sides are still cooperating, and after singing a song together, they compete with each other again.
However, when the referee team led the players of the two teams into the stadium together, the fans couldn't care less about the competition, and cheered for their players with all their voices!
The momentum of 9 people cheering together is amazing.
Even though the players of Sheffield United have seen a lot of big scenes, it is still difficult for them to suppress the surging emotion in their hearts under such a scene.
For Swansea players, getting 9 people to watch their games is already considered a career success.
And Wembley Stadium will always hold a special place in the hearts of English players.
Foreign players like Li Mo and Michu may not feel it, but the local players in England may stimulate more potential in this stadium.
Under this kind of spiritual inspiration, it is not impossible for the weak to defeat the strong. Although the probability is very small, at least facing the enemy bravely and having a firm belief in winning the championship is the first step to create a miracle.
In the League Cup final of the 10-11 season, Birmingham's victory over Arsenal gave the Swansea players great encouragement and motivation.
Although Arsenal at the time could not compare to the current strong Sheffield United, their Swansea was also much stronger than Birmingham, which was in the relegation zone at the time.
Birmingham can beat Arsenal 2-1 when they are at the bottom of the league. Swansea is now almost in the top ten of the league. Why don't they dare to dream boldly for once?
With this kind of positive attitude of giving it a go, the Swansea players stepped onto the field full of fighting spirit, and Li Mo on the side couldn't help but stare sideways at that confident aura.
"What a group of courageous guys!"
Hearing Sommer's muttering behind him, Li Mo secretly agreed in his heart.
After all, it is the same as Sheffield United, a team that fights game by game to the end. It even defeated Chelsea in the semi-finals. It is normal for Swansea to have this kind of momentum.
In the face of such opponents, it is natural to try our best to defeat them, so that we can fully express our respect and respect.
Swansea must do their best, and Sheffield United will not give up in the slightest. If you want to win the championship, then each depends on his own ability. In the end, the performance on the pitch must speak.
"Then let's play a sufficiently exciting game together!"
The corner of Li Mo's mouth raised, and he walked forward firmly. He was ready for a big fight!
※※※
After the opening ceremony, the game officially entered the countdown, and the commentators from various countries also started their work.
Today, Sina Sports still sent Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu, the ace pair, to explain the final of the League Cup.
Huaguo time kicks off at midnight, and Director Zhang is still fine. At this moment, he is cheerfully picking up Zhan Jun's words and killing the time before the start of the game.
"Xiao Li also came out wearing a mask today. According to English media reports, Xiao Li's injury is not a major problem, but before he fully recovers, the Sheffield United Club urgently ordered a mask for him to be on the safe side. mask.
I reckon it may be Speed’s request. He is definitely unwilling to see Xiao Li get injured on the court again. The brow bone is also very fragile. It is inevitable that he will bump into it in the top fight and get injured again. It will be troublesome. "
"Yes, the main reason is that the Champions League knockout round and the League Cup final are too close together. If it can be delayed for a few days, Li Mo should have almost recovered, but even if we wear a mask, our audience Don't worry too much, this is just the club's protection for Li Mo, in fact Li Mo is fine, otherwise Speed would not have arranged for him to start today."
Under the explanation of the two, the fans of Huaguo felt relieved.
Li Mo will hardly return to China to participate in the rest of the world preliminaries and friendly matches this year, which makes many domestic fans who have been infected with "silent addiction" can only rely on the Premier League and a few cup games to relieve their addiction symptoms.
So as long as there is a game where Li Mo plays, no matter how late the domestic fans are, they will always watch in front of the TV or computer on time.
The UEFA Champions League knockout match between Sheffield United and Galatasaray attracted a large number of domestic fans to watch.
At that time, when Li Mo got injured in the UEFA Champions League, many domestic fans were frightened. Now that Li Mo can still start the game, the fans are completely relieved.
With the Hua Guo team qualifying ahead of schedule in the world preliminaries, Li Mo said that it is not too much to say that it is a baby bump in the hearts of fans all over the country. Compared with continuing to shine in the Champions League, the fans want to see Li Mo in good health every time. On and off the field.
After all, those stars of hope who were ruined by injuries brought a lot of pain to Huaguo fans. If Li Mo also folded in the European League, it would be the biggest tragedy in Huaguo sports.
Fortunately, Li Mo's physical fitness is as good as ever. Just like what Zhan Jun said, if Speed dared to send him to continue to start, he must have obtained the permission of the team doctor.
It's that mask that always seems to make domestic fans a little worried.
If Swansea plays tricks, I wonder if that mask can protect Li Mo from being hurt again?
Fans in Huaguo were worried about Li Mo, but the game still started on time. After Li Mo kicked the ball to Bell, Zhan Jun also quickly read the opening remarks, and began to make arrangements for the starting lineup of both sides. for analysis.
"Speed made a lot of adjustments to the starting lineup today, and the formation did not choose the four-four-two that Sheffield United is best at, but a four-two-three-one formation to deal with Swansea's four-four-two. , quite a strange move, the five midfielders allow Sheffield United to control the field more freely, but the configuration of a single striker also makes Li Mo need more to attack Swansea's defense alone, which is a bit of a deal. Come on!"
Zhang Lu nodded, and continued to analyze Zhan Jun's words:
"Speed probably guessed Laudrup's arrangement. If they also played [-], Sheffield United's offensive will be fierce, but Bell, Medel, including Vardy, these people's physical reserves It is a problem. If the defense is not timely, it is likely to give Swansea room to use on the wing.
Changing to [-] would be a lot safer. Bale couldn’t return to defense in time. De Bruyne, who played central midfielder today, can help him make up for it. Joaquin on the right didn’t play in the last round of the Champions League, and his physical fitness is fine. With the double midfielder combination of Drinkwater and Matic, Swansea has little room to make a fuss in the midfield.
As for the question of a single striker, I think it's okay. De Bruyne ambushed behind Xiao Li today and ran more. He has the ability to shoot, and if he really can't break the deadlock, he can be replaced by Vardy. "
The two have no opinion on Speed's arrangement, and it is feasible to play more safely in the opening stage of the final.
And Sheffield United's ability to change formations is also very strong. Even if they don't change players, push Bell and Joaquin up the front line, and pull De Bruyne back, they can change into four-three-three in an instant.
The only pity is that Trippier still failed to make a successful comeback in the near future, and he may not be able to play in the next round of the league. His absence has made Sheffield United's offensive on the right side lack the sharpness of the past, and Joaquin also needs to take on more responsibilities Offensive responsibility.
Matthew Lorton's defensive ability is online, but his simple and direct way of attacking is not enough in Premier League games.
Fortunately, the tacit understanding between him and Li Mo has always been good. If Speed has a tactical design, he should be able to achieve good results.
After the game started, Li Mo plunged headlong into the defensive crowd in the backcourt of Swansea.
It's not yet time for him to play. Drinkwater will lead his teammates in the midfield to deal with Swansea for a while, and find out each other. He also wants to try after Swansea today. The defensive state of the players.
Players from the two sides have played against each other twice in the league. Knowing the basics is not counted, but they are quite familiar with some of each other's technical characteristics.
Seeing the figure posted by Li Mo, both Ashley Williams and Ben Davis felt subconsciously nervous.
Swansea's midfielder Britton is staring at De Bruyne, for fear that he will suddenly kick a long pass to find Li Mo.
It is true that Li Mo gave him a stress response in the league.
In other words, teams without tall central defenders in the Premier League will react like this when they encounter Sheffield United.
Li Mo knows how to use his body to bully defenders who don't have a high altitude advantage.
Swansea City was hit by Li Mo's head hammer before. The two central defenders they started today, Ashley Williams, can barely stand up, but the old captain Monk who is only 1.8 meters is very difficult. Li Mo one-on-one.
Once Li Mo is allowed to rush up to compete for the top, Monk may only watch Li Mo head the goal except for fouls, so Swansea dare not hope that the defense will suppress Li Mo's performance, and they still focus on defense. In midfield.
Now many teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League will choose to cut off the oppressive defensive play of the Sheffield United midfielder and Li Mo to try to prevent Li Mo from scoring.
Although Li Mo's goals are still unabated, but at least from the appearance of the scene, Sheffield United is indeed going to spend more time to patiently conduct in order to create opportunities for Li Mo.
And the little time that was dragged out is what Swansea wants to take advantage of today.
They may not be able to stop Li Mo's goal, but the later this moment comes, the better it is for them. If they can score a goal before Sheffield United breaks the deadlock, the situation on the field will change dramatically.
Of course, if Li Mo breaks out once, retreats to catch the ball and then scores goals with several players in a row, then Laudrup will have nothing to say.
Fortunately, everything seems to be going well so far. Sheffield United put more energy on competing for the control of the midfield. De Bruyne did not get a chance to pass the ball forward under strict surveillance. The players continued to drag Sheffield United to test each other step by step.
Drinkwater didn't notice anything wrong at the beginning, but after playing for almost 10 minutes, Swansea still had patience and did not launch an offensive easily. Drinkwater felt that Laudrup's tactics were designed It's weird.
This season, when the mid-lower teams in the Premier League played against Sheffield United in the league, they basically defended in the first half and waited for an opportunity to counterattack. In the second half, they may change their formation and strengthen their offense to grab a start.
But Swansea’s style of play today, you can say that he mainly focuses on defense, he doesn’t have a lot of people in the backcourt, instead he fights with Sheffield United in the midfield, but you want to say that he wants to compete with Sheffield United for control Right, but I don't have much idea of investing in troops to strengthen midfield control.
If the tactics focus on one side, more players will inevitably be invested in this aspect. Whether it is defensive offense or organization control, no matter how the tactics change, this most basic principle cannot be escaped.
So Drinkwater quickly reacted after discovering that Swansea's tactics were wrong.
How can Swansea want to compete with them for control in the midfield? It is clear that they want to drag Sheffield United's offensive and try to kill time!
Although I don't know what Swansea's idea is, but Drinkwater will not be used to Laudrup who is thinking about it, and directly starts to organize and speed up.
This sudden rhythm change made Laudrup on the sidelines jump in his heart!
He originally designed the team to change around 10 minutes, allowing Pablo Hernandez, who has a strong support ability, to disrupt Sheffield United's defense. Routledge stormed Matthew Lorton on the left, and then gave Michu created an offensive opportunity to retreat and plug in.
But now it seems that before Speed can make adjustments, the core midfielder of Sheffield United has already seen his "unruly intentions".
With the acceleration of Sheffield United, Swansea must also keep up with the rhythm, and the subsequent tactical deployment must be adjusted accordingly, otherwise it will completely fall into the continuous offensive rhythm of Sheffield United.
Other aspects are easy to say, Swansea also made tactical targets against Bale's advance today, but once the formation is compressed by Sheffield United, how to deal with Li Mo will become a headache for the entire Swansea team.
Laudrup really didn't dare to play positional battle with Sheffield United in the first half. Li Mo's offensive ability is strong and rigorous. Not to mention the best in European football, at least it is unique in English football.
Sheffield United picked up the sledgehammer named Li Mo and smashed it to pieces for how many teams put up iron barrel formations.
Trija Ivanovic's combination of central defenders failed to stop Li Mo, and Ferdinand Gavedic's combination also failed to stop him. Laudrup did not dare to be arrogant enough to think that his defense line could limit Li Mo's performance today.
"The formation cannot be compressed, it must be pushed out!"
Laudrup quickly made a decision and stood on the sidelines to signal Swansea's backcourt players to push the defense out, at least to the top of the center circle.
Once pressed into the defensive third area, whether Sheffield United kicks off from the wing or attacks from the center, Li Mo's existence will be a machete hanging over Swansea's head, and one hit can kill the old man. The kind of life!
Speed first looked at the situation in the venue calmly. When Laudrup was in a hurry to adjust, he touched his chin and made the same decision as Drinkwater.
The five midfielders don't necessarily need to slowly organize the attack, completely drive the opponent's players out of the midfield area and press them as a whole.
The five midfielders can also play a fast offensive advancement after the variation. Whether it is Bell on the left or De Bruyne who can pull the side to the right when attacking, their advancement speed is not slow.
Coupled with the organizational transfer of Drinkwater and Joaquin, the offensive on both sides of Sheffield United started very quickly. No matter how timely Laudrup adjusted, Swansea's two wings of defense still retreated again and again.
At the critical moment, even Routledge and Nathandale's retreat helped the defense stabilize the situation.
Michu also directly withdrew to the midfield. It seems that Laudrup is still very well prepared before the game. The Swansea players put a lot of effort into defense. There are almost nine players in the backcourt. However, this wave of Sheffield United's offensive was still contained.
"interesting."
Li Mo looked at the Swansea players who were earnestly implementing tactics, and gave a fairly high evaluation.
Swansea's defense is somewhat imitating the shadow of Sheffield United, actively oppressing, scrambling and covering without hesitation. Although the ability to intercept and steal is much worse, it does delay the Sheffield United midfielder and Li Mo to establish a connection process.
But imitation is just imitation after all. Sheffield United’s active pressing is ultimately either to launch a quick counterattack on the spot after stealing the ball, or to force the threatening battle as far away from the own half as possible to ensure the safety of the third defensive area.
Swansea's defense was only to slow down the pace of Sheffield United's forward pressure. They could neither threaten to counterattack nor force Sheffield United's offensive back. They were still passively adjusting their tactics in essence.
There is always a way to deal with a non-aggressive defense. The offensive side just needs to think more about how to break the game.
For Sheffield United, this most difficult step can be omitted directly, they just need to find a way to safely transport the ball to Li Mo's side.
Whether it's head or foot, Li Mo always has a way to come up with at least one reliable attack plan while protecting the ball.
Whether it is Bell or De Bruyne, they will start their offensive position selection around Li Mo. As long as they go to the weak side of Swansea's defense, they will always get good offensive opportunities after a few downs.
It's a simple tactic, isn't it?
But Swansea can't crack it, let alone Swansea, now there is a team in the Premier League that counts as a team, it is difficult to crack Sheffield United's tactics that are similar to rogues.
After all, the super central defenders in the Premier League are now at the end of their careers. Without the kind of superstar central defender who can compete with Li Mo, Sheffield United can naturally use this trick to do whatever they want.
And to expand the scope to the entire European football world, there are not many central defenders of the rich teams who dare to say that Li Mo is safe.
Because with the development of the times, the requirements of the major leagues for players are very different from ten years ago.
Heavy center forwards are gradually disappearing after being ignored, and heavy center backs will naturally no longer be popular. There are no teams to want them. Over time, the youth training of various countries has turned to cultivate more mobile and more comprehensive defenders.
So when Li Mo's enhanced version of the monster center reappeared, it suddenly created a situation where almost no defenders could defend one-on-one.
Li Mo not only has all the conditions that a heavy center needs to possess, but also has the mobility and tactical discipline emphasized by a modern striker.
So Speed is very convenient when using him. You can refer to Chelsea's use of Drogba to let him be a battering hammer and a big fulcrum, and you can also let other offensive players cover him to complete the goal.
When necessary, Speed can even let Li Mo break through and tear apart the opponent's line of defense locally.
With such a changeable style and the most prominent big center attributes, how do you let other Premier League teams deal with such monsters?
For Sheffield United, Li Mo is their master key to solve all offensive problems. Maybe this kind of tactics seems that the Sheffield United team is too dependent on Li Mo, but there is such an unsolvable big killer, do not rely on him Wouldn't it be more stupid?
"Swansea's defensive strength may not be maintained for too long. After all, they are a more technical offensive team. The establishment of a defensive system takes a lot of time for players to adapt. Sheffield United has increased For Li Mo's passing support, there is still hope to find a chance to score before the end of the first half."
Zhang Lu's support for Xie Feilian and Li Mo was as undisguised as before. In contrast, Zhan Jun seemed a little reserved.
"Laudrup's tactical arrangement today is still effective. At least for now, Sheffield United has not really scored in the hinterland of Swansea, as long as Li Mo does not have to fight against Gary Monk and Ashley William at high altitude. Swansea's chance, then Swansea's defense on the ground may still prevent Li Mo from scoring, we still have to see how the coaches of both sides will adjust in the next game."
To understand this sentence from another angle, Sheffield United should build a stable passing fort on both wings as soon as possible, and let Li Mo play his high-altitude advantage as soon as possible.
Whether it's Bell, De Bruyne, or Joaquin, these are all good players in the legend.
And looking at the 1.8-meter Gary Monk and the 1.8-meter-three Ashley Williams, what do these players need to hesitate?
Directly blowing it in at 45 degrees will make Li Mo happy!
As for the possibility of Swansea arranging multiple defensive players to fight for the top to limit Li Mo, it cannot be said that there is no possibility, but that is only a temporary restriction.
Li Mo didn't need to succeed in both back and forth fights. He was a center forward, and he only needed to seize those one or two chances to kill the game.
And no matter how Swansea's defensive players try to destroy Sheffield United's cross, their disadvantage in the top battle is already doomed. No matter how careful they are, they will always appear in the face of Sheffield United's continuous bombing. So many mistakes.
The rest depends on Li Mo's state today. If the deadlock cannot be broken in the first half, then it will not be too late for Speed to make adjustments in the second half.
Berbatov, Vardy and Dirk are all sitting on the bench. Sheffield United has no shortage of good players when they need to attack.
After 10 minutes in the first half, Sheffield United, who had patiently overwhelmed the halftime, also began to try to kick the ball from the two wings.
The coaches on the sidelines can also see the situation that can be seen by the commentators. The difference is that some coaches always like to watch the development of the situation again, while some coaches directly adjust decisively.
Speed naturally belongs to the latter. With a few adjustments, Sheffield United's offensive mode quickly switched to their good side penetration.
De Bruyne's daring pass caused two mistakes with his team-mate in just a few minutes, but his sharp through ball also saw Bale almost burst into the Swansea penalty area. !
Speed can bear the surprises and disadvantages that De Bruyne's double-edged sword brings to the team, but Laudrup obviously can't stand it.
De Bruyne's successful through pass 2 minutes ago almost made his heart stop beating!
Had it not been for the right back Rangel to get down to the ground and shovel the ball before Bell entered the penalty area in time, Swansea might have fallen behind by this time.
The existence of Li Mo restrained Swansea's too much defensive energy. Bale and Joaquin changed positions frequently in front of Swansea's defense line. As long as there is a defensive weak side, De Bruyne doesn't care if anyone sees it. When he is free, his pass is always the first to pass.
Under such continuous infiltration and involvement, the forts on the two wings of Sheffield United are still relatively stable.
Swansea should keep an eye on Sheffield United's forward momentum, and the protection of the two flanks will inevitably reduce their troops.
However, Bell, who was trying to play behind Swansea before, has changed from an assaulter to a passing master. He judges Li Mo's running route as soon as he gets the ball, and then gives an early pass. .
Joaquin on the right or De Bruyne, who had switched positions, were not to be outdone, and showed their footwork one after another.
For a while, the air defense alarm was sounded directly in Swansea's penalty area. Not only Li Mo pressed Swansea's double central defenders to try to complete the header, but Matic also came in from time to time to top it, making Swansea The backline is under pressure.
Although at this time Sheffield United only has Drinkwater as a midfielder and maintains a safe position, when the players on both sides take the ball, De Bruyne or Joaquin who are free will also consciously retreat. One point, always be alert to possible counterattacks from Swansea.
Their interception ability may be slightly worse, but timely fouls can still be done. As long as they don't get a card, it is still very cost-effective to get a few warnings to stop Swansea from counterattacking.
Under such comprehensive suppression, although the Swansea players are in good physical condition and have plenty of physical fitness, they will inevitably feel a little tired because of their tense spirits.
The few rare opportunities to counterattack were quickly interrupted by Sheffield United. After the re-kick-off, they entered the oppressive rhythm of Sheffield United's positional warfare. Facing enormous mental pressure.
After all, Swansea is following the Spanish-style ground technology flow, but the technology has not reached a sufficiently good level, and the tactical effect of playing against mid-lower teams or even general strong teams may be good.
But when they encounter an oppressive team like Sheffield United and cannot enter their own conduction rhythm, the scene of the game will become very ugly.
After all, defense is not their strong point. If you let an offensive team withstand the opponent's attack first, and only after it survives can they have a chance to launch a counterattack, isn't that nonsense.
Not competing with stronger opponents in the field that one is good at is equivalent to a kind of slow suicide.
Laudrup may have believed too much in the tenacity of his players, or the statements of the Swansea players before the game gave him a wrong perception, so that after the game entered the familiar rhythm of Sheffield United, He didn't readjust his defensive strategy immediately.
Such mistakes made Swansea quickly enter a defensive dilemma. Li Mo's jumping again and again made it very difficult for Ashley Williams to cope. He even had to ask the taller Ji Chengyong to return. The restricted area came to help defend.
Swansea's old captain Monk is more to assist Ashley Williams to double-team Li Mo, or to interfere with Matic entering the penalty area.
He is about to be 34 years old, and he is not a particularly talented player, and his single-defense ability continues to decline as he ages.
Now relying on his defensive experience, he can still assist Ashley Williams to stabilize the team's defense, but if he is asked to face Li Mo directly, it is almost like handing the knife to Sheffield United himself.
Fortunately, this veteran has a clear self-knowledge, and has always been very smart to avoid a direct confrontation with Li Mo, which has also allowed Swansea's defense to survive until now and has not declared its fall.
But things are unpredictable. When you are more afraid of something happening, the probability of it happening will be higher.
Gary Monk has always believed that he will not have any one-on-one chances with Li Mo in this game. Even if Ashley Williams occasionally loses position a few times, Ki Chengyong and Britton will return to the penalty area in time to assist him Complete the double-teaming of Li Mo.
But fate always likes to play tricks on prudent and honest people.
In the 304th minute of the first half, Joaquin's pass from the right was pushed back by Ben Davis. After regaining control of the ball, Joaquin chose to pass the ball back to Matthew Lorton who came up to respond.
Matthew Lorton then knocked the ball horizontally to De Bruyne who raised his hands to ask for the ball. At this time, Swansea's double midfielders were pressed in front of the penalty area line, and Michu jumped over to interfere with De Bruyne's side. , De Bruyne ignored him, but suddenly accelerated the speed of advancing with the ball.
Seeing this, Britton stepped up and tried to force De Bruyne to stop.
At this time, almost everyone thought that De Bruyne would knock the ball back to Drinkwater under pressure, or draw the distance from Britton.
Li Mo paced in Swansea's penalty area and looked at De Bruyne who was dribbling the ball, and he didn't mean to move at all.
But De Bruyne chose to harden the defensive pressure at this time!
Britton's defense was slightly pushed away by his raised left arm, and before the forced tilt of his body, De Bruyne quickly looked up and observed, and then decisively hit the front rib near the Swansea penalty area The position of the area kicked off and sent out a rumor!
This is a slightly hasty pass, but no matter in terms of ball speed or arc, it is also a beautiful and sudden enough pass.
Ashley Williams, who was at the front point, reacted immediately and moved quickly in the direction of Li Mo.
At this time, he doesn't care about Bell or Matic, he only has Li Mo in his eyes, and he also believes that the Belgian kid will only pass the ball to Li Mo!
But a red and white figure blocked his way even faster.
It's Bell!
Bell didn't rush for some running positions, nor waited for Li Mo's possible header to ferry over. Instead, he rushed towards his national team teammates in a daze after inserting into the penalty area!
Ashley Williams couldn't care less about his friendship with Bell at this moment. In desperation, he directly tried to push Bell who was blocking his way.
Bell fell to the ground quickly after hitting Ashley Williams, but this time it was not to cheat a penalty kick, and the referee would not blow the whistle for this level of physical confrontation.
He just wanted to grab another Ashley Williams jersey before he fell to the ground.
This light action, placed in other offensive and defensive scenes, at most makes the opponent feel a little uncomfortable, and it has nothing to do with "dirty".
But at this moment, Ashley Williams felt extremely bad because of the one or two seconds of Bell's delay!
Because at the last point, after Gary Monk asked for help to no avail, he had no choice but to jump up with Li Mo. This was a major mistake in Swansea's defense line, and it was also the perfect opportunity that Li Mo had been waiting for. !
De Bruyne's sudden pilling and Bell's brainstorm gave Li Mo a one-on-one chance with Monk this time.
And at the moment when Monk and Li Mo took off together, Monk and Swansea had already lost!
What he has to face is the current No. [-] air fighter in English football, the Sheffield United Demon King who has absolute dominance in the air!
"De Bruyne needs to get rid of it. The cross! Ashley Williams was stopped by Bale! Li Mo's single-handed chance!"
Zhan Jun's eyes widened, finally waiting for this moment, he and Zhang Lu both leaned slightly and stared at the live broadcast screen, for fear of missing the wonderful moment that might appear next!
Li Mo fully stretched his body in the air, and De Bruyne's pass was a bit high, so high that Munch immediately felt desperate after taking off.
But Li Mo felt that it was just right, the height of his full-strength jump allowed him to complete the movement of swinging his head and attacking the goal comfortably, and Munch's interference was like scratching an itch, and it couldn't affect him at all!
Facing the slightly falling football in the air, Li Mo used his strong momentum to complete the movement of shaking his head and attacking the goal almost instantly.
Even though there is a layer of mask behind him, Li Mo can still feel that the football part in his head is very accurate.
Amidst the exclamation of the fans, Li Mo stared straight at the football flying towards the Swansea goal.
The trajectory with almost no arc is just like his determination to win the championship. He hit the target fiercely. No one can stop the ball from entering the net, even if Swansea's goalkeeper Tremel has four hands today. also can not!
When the football passed the palm of Tremel's interception and hit the net!When the familiar white ripples began to stir non-stop!When the crazy cheers of Sheffield United fans reappeared at Wembley!
Li Mo landed on the ground, patted his chest, and put his hands by his ears flamboyantly!
Sheffield United's terrifying demon king reappears in the world! ! !
"The ball went in——!!! The ball went in! Li Mo successfully smashed open the gate of Swansea with an unstoppable header! Swansea's line of defense, which had been holding on for more than half an hour, was declared defeated at this moment! Swansea's captain Gary Monk couldn't stop Li Mo's determination to score! Li Mo did it! Sheffield United did it too! They took the lead in knocking on the door of victory at this moment, and they successfully dragged the game into their Favorite rhythm! Swansea, Laudrup, need to think more!"
Zhan Jun's voice became a little hoarse as he roared, but his mood was agitated. Li Mo always played the most important role of a hero!
Two League Cup finals in two years, both times Li Mo opened the scoring!
With the expectations of countless people, Li Mo never disappoints!
Since leading Sheffield United out of the relegation zone of the English Championship, he has always been the most trusted hero in Sheffield United!
And such a hero player comes from Huaguo, how can Zhan Jun not be very excited!
Zhang Lu laughed on his own. He was not as excited as last year when he saw Li Mo open the scoring for the first time. He only felt infinitely gratified in his heart.
Like Zhan Jun and many Chinese fans, he watched Li Mo step by step from the English Championship to the Premier League, and then watched him lead Sheffield United to the Quartet, and established his current great reputation.
Compared with many young fans who regard Li Mo as an idol, Zhang Lu treats Li Mo more like a progressive junior.
He was also worried that Li Mo would be tempted a lot in English football, and maybe one day he would waste his talent and become a person who hurt Zhongyong.
But after more than two years, Li Mo has set an example for countless young people with his diligent training and low-key off-court life.
There is no need to be extravagant or extravagant. Players should use their performance on the court to attract the attention of the public instead of accumulating popularity with negative lace news.
And now Li Mo has indeed fulfilled his promise to Sheffield United fans and China fans.
He helped Sheffield United win another top domestic cup championship in England in the past 75 years, and helped the Hua Guo team once again break out of Asia and enter the World Cup stage. Now, he will help Sheffield United win another League Cup. Championship trophy.
It doesn't seem to be a big achievement, but Li Mo is step by step, dragging a club and a national team to rise strongly!
Zhang Lu didn't worry that Li Mo would go astray for a long time, but after witnessing Li Mo's opening goal in another final stage, Zhang Lu finally firmly believed that Li Mo would permanently leave himself in the world football name!
Even though it's still too early to make such a conclusion, Zhang Lu firmly believes that Li Mo's traits will help him win everything in the future!
And the only thing these fans and industry insiders have to do is to wait patiently and witness quietly.
This kid won't let them down, he's already on a career path called greatness!
※※※
When those clear, deafening cheers and excited shouts came from all directions, Li Mo was fascinated.
He likes this feeling, likes to play happily on an important stage, and fully release his passion!
And when his teammates rushed over like a swarm of bees, hugging him passionately and roaring in celebration, Li Mo immediately grinned.
The temptation of the championship title is always irresistible to the players. Even though they have won the League Cup once last year, they are still uncontrollably excited when they can touch this trophy again.
"We have to fucking win the championship! This year I'm going to fill it with champagne and drink it! I've been wanting to do it, guys, want to come together!"
Matthew Lorton yelled out the wish in his heart, and Li Mo also laughed.
"I'll be with you at that time! But you have to wash the trophy before drinking it, otherwise you may have diarrhea on the news the next day!"
The other Sheffield United players immediately laughed around Li Mo, while Bell and Joaquin looked at each other and smiled, obviously very moved.
The two of them said that it has only been half a year since joining Sheffield United, and they are about to get a championship trophy. They are excited and excited, but also a little lucky.
It is said that the success of a team requires the selection of suitable players, but why doesn't the success of a player require joining the right club?
Sheffield United is not a giant, but now, all the fans and the media have to admit that Sheffield United is undoubtedly a strong team with a championship temperament!
Both Bell and Joaquin felt lucky to be able to join Sheffield United before their complete rise. This is not only a great process for the rise of a team, but also the best opportunity for each player to become famous in Europe and the world.
And no one thinks too many championship honors, the League Cup is just the beginning, and there are FA Cup and league championships waiting for them to fight for.
Even if they fail in the Champions League this season and win the "Triple Crown" in England, that is something that all the players in the team can be proud of!
"Hey, hey, we can't celebrate for too long, or the boss will think we are drifting again, go back and do a good job of defense, if we have a chance, we will attack them again, if we don't have a chance, try to control the ball at our feet, in the second half we will completely Lay the victory! Come on, come on, come on!"
In the end, Li Mo calmly asked his teammates to go back to the halftime. They will celebrate for a while, and it will be interesting. It will not be too late to celebrate after the game is completely won.
And Speed, who was still celebrating passionately just now, really walked to the sidelines and made a "keep calm" gesture to the Sheffield United players.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of the audience, the Swansea players looked nervously at their coach on the sidelines.
But Laudrup was also a little uncomfortable. Sheffield United broke the deadlock in the 10 minutes of the first half. Suitable.
After thinking about it for a few minutes, Laudrup made up his mind when the game was about to restart, let the Swansea players on the field control the field first, and not let Sheffield United score the first half before the end of the first half. For the second goal, he will make adjustments at halftime.
This result disappointed Speed and Sheffield United players somewhat.
Laudrup was very sensible at the critical moment and did not make an impulsive choice, otherwise Sheffield United, which was preparing for a counterattack, might really have a chance to play a threatening attack before halftime.
But disappointment is disappointment. The Sheffield United team is quite satisfied with the result of taking the lead in the first half.
Under the rare "tacit cooperation" between the two sides, the score of 1-0 was maintained until the end of halftime, and the players on both sides hurried back to their respective locker rooms.
Speed was not stingy with his praise. After closing the door of the locker room, he praised all the players first, and then quickly arranged the tactics for the second half.
And under the leadership of the assistant coach, Vardy, Berbatov, Dirk, Dembele, and Medel also stayed on the court to warm up. This scene made the Swansea fans bewildered .
Most of the people who warmed up were offensive players. They really couldn't figure out Sheffield United, or Speed's intentions.
"Could it be that they will launch a fierce offensive in the second half?"
As soon as this idea came out, the mood of many Swansea fans became worse.
In the first half, the Swansea team invested a lot of troops in the defense with the best energy and physical fitness, but they still failed to stop Li Mo's goal.
If Sheffield United, which is physically dominant in the second half, continues to attack, how long can Swansea last?
If you can't equalize as soon as possible before conceding the second goal, the score of 2-0 will be enough for Sheffield United to completely turn their advantage into a victory.
After all, Sheffield United's coach has made all the Premier League fans feel toothache since last season. At the critical moment, Li Mo can turn into a central defender. Sheffield United can have one more defensive player without changing players. Who can stand it!
Unlike the concerns of Swansea fans, Sheffield United fans have already celebrated in the stands.
A 1-0 score is not guaranteed, but Sheffield United fans firmly believe that they will not only score this one goal.
After all, Swansea is the more anxious side now. They have to press out in advance to fight Sheffield United. Sheffield United has a better chance of scoring than Swansea even if they counterattack with peace of mind.
And only on rare occasions does Speed play conservative after 1-0.
Even if you want to stick to it, you have to spend at least two goals. No matter what, 2-0 is safer than 1-0.
So there is still something to watch in the second half. Sheffield United fans have long been used to it. Speed likes to watch how the opponent adjusts after taking the lead, and then strangles the opponent's seven inches in a targeted manner.
Today, Sheffield United fans don't want to watch any exciting battles. The most important thing is to win the championship safely, so Speed can't be too stable.
It is better to follow Swansea's goal until the end of the game, that is the best process of the game.
With the different moods of the fans on both sides, the game resumed in the second half soon. Sheffield United and Swansea switched sides to fight again. Li Mo moved his body and walked onto the pitch with his teammates, waiting for Swansea's kick-off.
But when the referee blew the whistle to start the second half, the players of Sheffield United were surprised to find that Swansea was not eager to start the game, but sorted out the midfield and spread out the formation first.
Drinkwater was not careless, and signaled his teammates to pay attention to Swansea's tactical changes. Even Li Mo retreated to the center circle first, wanting to see what Swansea was planning.
The prudence of Sheffield United made the Swansea players very helpless. If the opponent does not come out, they can only press past them. They can't always pass the ball in the backcourt, right?
Compared with the first half, Michu increased the number of times he took the ball, but under Matic's strict supervision, he still didn't get any good chances to get in.
The two sides played peacefully for almost 10 minutes. Swansea finally couldn't help but make the move first. Michu was pushed into the center forward position, and Pablo Hernandez was on the left and right. Routledge He and Nathandale also pushed forward to the outside of Sheffield United's defensive third area, with a full offensive posture.
Seeing this, Sheffield United directly changed positions and shrank the formation. Joaquin went to the center and served as the first point of possession when counterattacking. De Bruyne pulled the side to limit Routledge's breakthrough. Bell on the left used speed It was very uncomfortable for the players who ate Nathandale to death and targeted the players on the two wings of Swansea.
Laudrup just felt very tired at this moment. If he didn't change, Speed would not change.
The key is that no matter how the Swansea players on the field adjust or change positions, once Speed changes positions, his tactical intentions will also be eaten to death.
This is the benefit of having several versatile midfielders on the field.
Both De Bruyne and Joaquin are now trained by Speed to be able to play in the center and the side. Among them, De Bruyne can play in the left, center and right positions. Playing the midfielder makes Speed's tactical changes extremely convenient.
Under such flexible adjustments, whether Laudrup wants to widen the attack from the side or play a strong attack in the middle, Sheffield United can guarantee to target your key attackers in Swansea.
Hey, anyway, the game is targeting. Isn’t your Michu good at getting in the back?
Swansea attacked hard for a while, and the offensive players on the two wings were tortured by Sheffield United's full-backs and full-backs. , Laudrup can only signal that the team as a whole is on top.
This is a life gamble. Laudrup knows the consequences of being hit by Sheffield United, but time waits for no one. After a while, 75 minutes later, Speed puts the iron barrel on the line, and the game is even more exciting. No need to play.
Because they don't have a trick to break the bus in Swansea!
Don't look at Michu's height of nearly 1.9 meters, but he is not a center forward at all. Now pushing him to the center position is just to make him closer to Sheffield United's goal.
Otherwise, he would have been waiting in the middle to die.
And the Sheffield United generals who finally waited until Swansea pressed on were so rampant in their hearts that they laughed.
Speed squeezed his palms, staring intently at the changes in the situation on the field.
He believes in the abilities of his disciples, and he is also waiting for the next suitable opportunity.
Sheffield United is only one chance away from the championship, and if they score another goal, Swansea will not be able to make waves!
The Swansea players naturally knew this, so at this tense and exciting moment, they all pressed on like crazy, and launched their offensive rhythm decisively and apprehensively.
In the No.601 minute of the second half, Michu received the ball from Routledge in the rib space, turned around and volleyed directly!
This left-footed volley was Michu's first shot to hit the goal, and it was almost the best attacking opportunity for Swansea.
But under Sommer's all-out save, the shot and the goal seemed so far away!
Before the Swansea players felt regretful in their hearts, Vertonghen, who got Sommer to save the football, drove forward with a long pass.
When the football crossed most of the pitch and finally fell under Li Mo's control, the Swansea fans were really relieved.
Britton was run over by Li Mo with his back. De Bruyne, who was plugging in on the right, raised his hand to ask for the ball. Li Mo saw this and sent a through.
Three seconds later, De Bruyne took a moment to observe, and directly sent a sticking cut through the east-west direction of Swansea's defense line!
Bell's high-speed insertion on the left made Swansea's backcourt players almost desperate, and no one could keep up!
When Bell entered the Swansea penalty area, almost everyone thought that Bell would shoot directly. As a result, Bell passed the ball back to the middle of the Swansea penalty area. Mok has already left Ji Chengyong far away, and Britten is catching up!
Simply swinging his legs and pushing the shot, the football putter hit the net, Tremel's reaction was a beat slower, and Li Mo scored twice!
And off the court, Speed began to gallop on the sidelines passionately!
The first championship of the season is here!
Gan, there are [-] words missing, I will make up tomorrow!
