Chapter 343 Moyes with hip pull, Sheffield United made a good start
On August 8, in the anticipation of countless Premier League fans, Sheffield United and Manchester United, the old rivals in the Premier League last season, met again at Wembley Stadium.

Although the Community Shield curse has made Sheffield United fans quite afraid, the Sheffield United team is at a stage of bursting with confidence at this moment, and there is no psychological pressure on it.

No matter how cheap it is, this is still a championship, and it is a championship that Sheffield United has never won before. It is all in front of them, and the players of Sheffield United will naturally not let it be missed.

Because it is a game that will determine the outcome, although Sheffield United's mentality is very relaxed, they all cheered up to deal with Manchester United.

The media can speak badly about Manchester United, but Speed ​​does not allow his players to become careless and arrogant.

It doesn't matter if you are joking, it is better to have confidence, but you still have to pay attention to what should be taken seriously.

After all, it is said that changing coaches is like changing a knife. Manchester United who left Sir Alex Ferguson is likely to get worse, but there is also a slight possibility that there will be a wave of chicken blood.

In addition, Moyes always likes to work on the clock from time to time, and Speed ​​doesn't want to capsize in the gutter. Before the game, he also found Manchester United's recent warm-up matches to study.

But it's okay not to study it. This research has also confused Speed.

Manchester United's signings in this summer window are lonely. Without any changes in the players, Speed ​​​​takes it for granted that Moyes will continue part of Manchester United's style of play last season.

So every pass after Neymar's successful breakthrough is like a heavy hammer on the hearts of Manchester United fans.

They didn't play this kind of tactics any more proficiently last season, but it would be Vardy helping Li Mo open up the offensive space, which would just become Bell.

"Okay, anyway, you're in the middle, I'll pass the ball to you more, and you'll blow up their central defender combination!"

Especially on Neymar's side, after Li Mo and De Bruyne pressed forward to take away Manchester United's defenders in the middle, Neymar and Evra were chaotic!
Evra's speed has slowed down, but his defensive experience is still sophisticated. After putting Neymar on, he can always squeeze the opponent to lose the momentum to continue advancing, but there are enough opportunities to try if Neymar can't be held back.

Manchester United is still holding on to the cross, but Sheffield United is already ruthless, and they will smash the last line of defense guarded by De Gea as soon as possible in the first half!
Li Mo saw that both Bell and Neymar were playing well, and he no longer retreated to catch the ball and transfer it, and directly plunged into Manchester United's penalty area, waiting for his teammates to find an opportunity to send the ball in.

The players on both sides speeded up their warm-up actions as time passed, and as they returned to their respective locker rooms, the commentators from various countries also made final preparations, introducing the recent changes of the two teams and the results of the friendly match. Make a foreshadowing.

So when both sides played simple tactics, Manchester United repeated inefficient crosses, which were basically not threatening, while Sheffield United used long passes to find Li Moyi, and Bale and Neymar were on the two wings. After receiving the ball, there was a hurricane, which crushed Manchester United's defense extremely uncomfortable!

They are all "old friends". Manchester United has not improved, and that is the best news for Sheffield United.

But, although this Manchester United team still attaches great importance to wing attacks and has also strengthened the tactical richness of set kicks, Speed ​​feels that the tactical thinking of this Red Devils team has become more "rigid".

Defense is like this, you defend your opponent five or six times, but as long as your opponent misses once, then sorry, the entire defense line has to bear the pressure of being hit once!
However, Sheffield United's center and left are Li Mo and Bell, the two most ruthless players in the Premier League last season who attacked the defense!

Therefore, as long as Li Mo and the others help Neymar pull away the defenders and create a one-on-one opportunity for Neymar and Evra, Neymar should have a way to get rid of Evra's defense and rush into the hinterland of Manchester United.

The ball was very fast. Phil Jones, who was at the front point, went to Cannemar's position and tried to stretch his foot to intercept it, but only encountered a cloud of air.

Well, the head coach spoke, and Carrick and Cleverley had to listen, and began to keep distributing the ball to the left and right players who dropped back to respond.

But, as Vardy said to Neymar before the game.

And Li Mo, who was sprinting again, was about to miss this pass in the back, let alone Vidic behind him, whose speed was even slower!

Therefore, many players in the Manchester United team still have high expectations for him, hoping that he can play a role and successfully take over the banner of Manchester United's wing.

Well, in terms of technical statistics, Manchester United barely completed an attack. Although Van Persie did not touch the ball in the Sheffield United penalty area, the ball finally flew over the Sheffield United penalty area.

Upon hearing Neymar's reply, Li Mo rubbed his head with a smile, without saying anything.

He can feel that Vidic is getting more and more unable to keep up with him. What he needs to do now is to increase the frequency of turning back and sprinting in the Manchester United penalty area. As long as he completely throws off Vidic once, there is such a chance, enough!
Bell was also very alert when he saw this. He also plunged into Manchester United's penalty area when he didn't have the ball, taking away Jones' defensive attention and allowing Li Moeneng and Vidic to have a one-on-one chance.

This defense is really what it was last season, and it is still what it is this season. Oh, Carrick seems to run slower than last season.

He still has self-knowledge, and before his confrontation ability is strengthened, he still tries to avoid confrontation with these top central defenders.

But why did they become more and more confused when Moyes made this set of wide crosses!

Even a blind man can see that Manchester United's tactics are wrong at the moment.

After all, your Manchester United players are one year older, and there is no fresh blood to supplement. I have a big advantage in the middle, and you have many loopholes in the middle, so I will continue to beat you in the old way.

And you Van Persie is not a big center forward, with Rooney, apart from rushing into the penalty area of ​​Sheffield United to try to grab points, the two of them can only watch the football flying around in the air, what about playing? !

Neymar nodded seriously after listening to Li Mo's explanation.

And the speed of football is already very fast, so even if it only changes direction, it still moves towards the post at the far corner of the goal at a speed that De Gea can hardly keep up with.

After making enough preparations, Speed ​​was relieved and waited until the game started to see Moyes' tactical arrangement before considering whether to change his tactics.

After receiving the ball, Rooney sent a chic transfer to the ground, signaling Zaha to try to break through on the right.

He wanted to fight against a strong opponent, but he was not stupid, so naturally he would not take the initiative to provoke Manchester United's superstar central defender.

"Okay, the 2013 FA Community Shield battle is officially underway! This game is between Sheffield United and Manchester United. Welcome to Sina Sports viewers and friends. This game is directed by Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun. You sent a live comment"

And temporary luck obviously cannot bring confidence to Manchester United fans.

The status of poacher and wing assaulter is more suitable for him now, anyway, there is Li Mo in the middle.

The development of the situation on the field was not as expected by these fans. After Sheffield United withstood the first two waves of Manchester United's offensive, they rushed to the center of Manchester United and started a hard attack!
Li Mo easily passed the ball with his back to Bell, who was on the left. Cleverley, who was marking him, was like air, and could not give him any defensive pressure.

"This is our lucky place! We have already won three championships here, and today we will take his fourth! You have caught up with your brother, and you can win the cup after the game is over."

Manchester United's defense in the left half is not strong now. Neither Giggs nor Valencia can completely retreat to the defense line to help Evra limit Neymar.

When it comes to you Moyes, why is there only one way to pass?

With Neymar blasting on the right, Li Mo has no shortage of chances to catch the ball.

You said that Ferguson also likes to attack from the side, but he has enough routines, such as inside cuts, inverted triangles, and side transitions.

While watching Sheffield United launch a fierce offensive in agony, their own team is playing meaningless wing cross tactics again and again, so when the game is not over for half an hour, a considerable part of Manchester United fans have a mentality. It exploded!
"This is Manchester United's ninth cross in the first half, um. In fact, if Giggs tried to cut inside, Rooney might get a chance to go forward. We can all see that Rooney is already running. Giggs should also be able to see Rooney's forward space, but he still chose to cross, which is very strange, maybe Moyes needs to think again, after all, Sheffield United may be the team that is least afraid of crosses in Europe last season ah."

Speed ​​didn't bother to guess what kind of routine Moyes was playing at this time, so he waved his hand directly, allowing the disciples to seize the opportunity to counterattack, combine around Li Mo, and quickly tear apart Manchester United's defense.

Not to mention them, Sheffield United fans can't understand what new things Moyes is playing.

But just when the Red Devils fans were expecting this young teenager to make a bold attempt to hit Sheffield United's defense in the right half, Zaha shook his shoulder twice and chose to pass directly!
"Zaha, the youngster is going strong in the Championship! Let's see his next... cross? Eh? Maguire headed the ball out of the box before van Persie. This position, the cross Doesn't seem like a good choice?"

The players of Sheffield United set foot on their "blessed land" - Wembley Stadium full of confidence and started warming up.

Accompanied by Zhan Jun's familiar and friendly commentary, the Manchester United players who took the lead in the shot flooded into Sheffield United's half, and Sheffield United also quickly spread out their defensive formation. Manchester United's first long pass attack was pushed back to the center circle.

Thinking of this, Neymar also felt inexplicably at ease.

The Red Devils fans expressed that they are very tired and can only hope that the team can have something different on the offensive end today.

"Sheffield United today formed a four-three-three formation that they may use frequently this season. New aids Neymar and Felipe Luiz both started, and De Bruyne also replaced Joaquin as the midfield three. As a new starting member, it seems that Speed ​​is already very confident in this lineup!
As for Manchester United, because Fletcher is still recovering from his injury, Moyes can still only play Carrick and Cleverley's midfield combination today. Giggs and the returning teenager Zaha are divided into midfield On the other side, Rooney and Van Persie formed a strike partner"

Giggs was quite calm. He looked at De Bruyne and Drinkwater who were in a defensive posture in front of him, and after thinking about it, he decisively passed the ball to Rooney in the middle.

Li Mo was also polite, pointing to the top of his head to signal his teammates to pass the ball.

Zaha's sudden show almost flashed the fans and the commentator's waist. The key point was that Moyes applauded off the court, indicating that Zaha did a good job this time? !

Against Vidic's defense, Li Mo got two chances to shoot in a short while, but the header was slightly deflected once, and a shot was saved by De Gea. Sheffield United fans saw Greatly regretted, holding his head and screaming again and again.

In the No.30 second minute of the first half, Neymar once again swayed Evra's center of gravity with the ball and broke through to the bottom line of Manchester United. But this time, under the shouts of De Bruyne, Neymar did not pass the ball directly , but the inverted triangle returned the football to De Bruyne, who ran to the line of Manchester United's penalty area.

In the eyes of Sheffield United supporters, Carrick + Cleverley, Vidic + Phil Jones, these familiar combinations reassure them a lot.

However, the performance of the warm-up match is uncertain. Speed ​​himself took two warm-up matches to experiment with different tactics and formations, so he arranged the tactics of this game according to the method he used against Manchester United last season.

Evra has turned 32 this year, and his speed and explosiveness are not as good as before. However, Neymar has the skills and speed. As long as he is not entangled by Evra, it is possible to blow up his defense at this end.

De Gea judged that the ball must go out of the bottom line, so he subconsciously relaxed.

But when next, Manchester United sent four crosses in just 10 minutes, and did not get any reliable grabs and fights for the top, Manchester United fans could no longer calm down!
The main winger, Manchester United fans can understand, and the winger crosses, Manchester United fans can also understand.

After receiving the ball, Zaha also made a few bold dribbling moves. Felipe Luis did not rush up and let Zaha enter the double-team defense zone between him and Matic.

The teenager spent more than 1000 million euros in Manchester United's transfer fee in the winter window last year, and spent half a year in Crystal Palace. He can be regarded as a big killer on the wing in the English Championship last season.

Both Bell and Limo are too fast, and they can often try to reach the ball ahead of Vidic. If Jones is not desperate enough today, De Gea is still in a brave state. I am afraid that Manchester United will not be 10 before the opening. Minutes could concede a goal.

Zhang Lu had already laughed in his heart, only Zhan Jun had to help Moyes with a few words.

Vardy winked at Neymar and said, it seems that he really doesn't take the current Manchester United into his eyes, and Neymar, who is still a little nervous, can't help grinning.

When Neymar made a breakthrough, Li Mo made a forward move, driving Vidic to sprint with him. After Neymar chose to pass the ball, Li Mo turned back and ran outside the penalty area again. Vidic only Can bite the bullet and continue to keep up.

But Moyes's work is all about it, as long as it doesn't threaten Sheffield United's defense, then let him do it, and Sheffield United fans don't care.

This made Sheffield United's quick counterattack so smooth that Bell and Li Mo almost completed a link shot in the first attack attempt, leaving the Red Devils fans speechless.

The formation has not changed much, and there is only one more player, Zaha, who seems a little nervous. I don't know if he can play this season.

The Spanish national goalkeeper made the last attempt in a haste, waving his outstretched arms hard, and after failing to touch anything, De Gea put all his hopes on the goal post of Wembley Stadium!

Li Mo didn't even have time to exert his strength, he almost just made a baffle with the instep, and bounced the football to the far corner of the goal.

In general, Sheffield United has changed a lot, from the starting lineup to the formation, while Manchester United really looks similar to last season.

De Bruyne glanced up quickly, then flicked the ball, drew a half-high ball like a pass, and went straight to the back of Manchester United's goal!

But Li Mo is not discouraged.

Reluctantly, I can accept it!
Manchester United fans are still trying to comfort themselves.

To curb Manchester United's flank advancement and cut off the link between Rooney and Van Persie as much as possible, as long as Manchester United does not steal a goal at the beginning, then Sheffield United will attack Manchester United's center step by step.

England’s local time is approaching 14:00 in the afternoon, and China’s time is approaching 21:00 at night. After a series of opening ceremonies, the two teams stood in their respective halfs, and the referee on duty watched carefully with his watch. Time, and then the whistle for the start of the game was blown on time!

As a result, Li Mo, who was in the middle of the run, suddenly threw his whole body out. Relying on this strong momentum, his taut left instep reached the football at the last moment!

"Evra is one year old again. Don't be afraid today. Brothers will help you to pull away the defender, and you will rush him! But pass the ball as soon as possible after passing the man. Your current confrontation ability is still weak. Don't go Find the trouble with Vidic, he will give you enough to make you suffer for a long time."

Under the detailed introduction by Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu, the audience in Huaguo soon knew the starting lineup of the two teams today.

Moyes will also stand on the sidelines this time, constantly instructing the players in the midfield to conduct more easily and pass the ball more to the wing.

Li Mo did not comfort Neymar like Vardy, but carefully analyzed the opponents he might encounter today for Neymar.

Today's Wembley Stadium has become the "lucky place" of Sheffield United. The football that Li Mo blocked back bounced on the goal post, but it bounced inside the post!
In the next moment, the football jumped obediently into Manchester United's goal, and finally hit the net!

The white ripples that were set off were like the red and white waves boiling up in the stands of Wembley Stadium at this moment, declaring Sheffield United's lead!

In the thunderous cheers of tens of thousands of people, Li Mo pointed to his ear, laughed and ran to the stand of the most powerful fans of his side!

Speed ​​clenched his fist with one hand and raised it high, and then swung his arm downward vigorously. The celebration was neat and passionate!
Against the background of the silence of the Manchester United fans, the cheers and shouts of the Sheffield United fans became more unrestrained and enthusiastic!
Under the stands where they gathered, one Sheffield United player after another jumped on Li Mo's body, celebrating the goal that broke the deadlock!
Neymar smiled happily under Li Mo's arms. He didn't come to the wrong place. He likes the warm atmosphere here, and even more like the passionate fans of Sheffield United!
And Li Mo clenched his fist and roared passionately with the fans!
This is his good start, but also for Sheffield United!
Good start!
