Chapter 359 Your third child in the Bundesliga is no good, tell your boss to come out!

9月17号欧洲当地时间晚19:45，2013-2014赛季欧冠小组赛阶段的第一轮比赛正式打响。

A total of [-] teams showed up today, and as many as eight UEFA Champions League group matches ignited the flames of war at the same time. Teams from the five major leagues played, enough for fans of different audiences to slowly choose their favorite games.

As the most watched team in Group A of the death group, and also the top team representing the Premier League this year, Sheffield United has naturally gained the attention of many fans.

The performance of Sheffield United in the group stage last season is still fresh in the memory of many fans.

After all, for so many years, it is really rare for a "rookie" like Sheffield United to kill the Quartet for the first time in the Champions League.

Sheffield United completed another round of reinforcement this summer. On paper, their current starting lineup has no weaknesses.

Fans from all walks of life also want to see how far Sheffield United has grown.

"Speed's arrangement today is very safe. Although it is still a four-three-three formation, in the position of central midfielder, Sheffield United played Medel. This is completely different from our pre-match prediction. At that time, Director Zhang thought that Speed ​​will play Joaquin. I personally think that De Bruyne is more suitable, but now it seems that Speedy still wants to strengthen the ability to sweep and intercept in the middle, and drag the game into Sheffield United's favorite and most familiar Come in rhythm!"

After the game started, Zhan Jun watched Medel's familiar aggressive sweeping defense, and quickly understood Speed's tactical intentions today.

The trick of destroying the opponent's organization with the midfielder forward is not a new trick, but the most deadly point used by Sheffield United is not simply destroying it.

It's because they will advance the starting point of the counterattack!

Fans and commentators who often watch Sheffield United games know that when Speed ​​chooses to put Medel in front, their opponents have to always be careful behind their defense.

Medel has the ability to attack independently. Not to mention that the forward delivery is threatening, but it is enough. Bell and Limo happen to be able to accept through balls with a large amount of advance.

In other words, even if Medel's footwork in sending the header is a bit rough, as long as the general direction is correct, the speed of Li Mo and Bell is enough to catch up and complete the threatening counterattack.

Now Sheffield United has an extra Neymar on the right side, who is also not slow. Once the Sheffield United frontcourt trio rushes up, Leverkusen's defense may really be unable to withstand it.

Of course, the key depends on how far Leverkusen's coach Hyypia has reached in his research on Sheffield United. If he hasn't done enough homework, he may have to pay tuition to Speed ​​today.

Under the playful gaze of countless Premier League fans, Hyypia, who was standing on the sidelines of Leverkusen at the moment, folded his arms and observed the situation on the field for a while.

Suddenly, he yelled to indicate that the team's double midfielder would press the defensive line back, and then pointed to the team's midfielder Reinarts, signaling him to pay more attention to the advance of Sheffield United's two wings.

"Hypia can do it. It seems that he has done enough homework. He can lead the team to win four games in the first five rounds of the season, which is something."

"It must be reasonable to be able to take the position of head coach of Leverkusen at the age of 40. When I saw him playing football, I knew that he had a vivid mind and would become a great coach."

"Could he have asked Liverpool's coaching staff for advice? After all, he is a famous player in Liverpool. Maybe Rodgers taught him a few tricks."

"Hai Shuai come on, support Leverkusen to beat Sheffield United!"

"What's causing trouble? The bartender is out to clean the floor, Yongfeng Yongfeng!"

On the major sports forums in China, fans are discussing in full swing at the moment. Many old Premier League fans are no strangers to Leverkusen's head coach Hyypia.

At the end of the last century, the Finnish defender joined Liverpool. He was one of the witnesses and heroes of the Istanbul night in 05. It was not until 09 that he ended his contract with Liverpool and switched to the Bundesliga Leverkusen.

It is worth mentioning that after the end of the first season of the Bundesliga, Hyypia, who is about to turn 37 years old, was also selected as the best team of the Bundesliga in 09-10, which is really not easy.

After two years of excellent performance in Leverkusen, the Finn was trusted by the club's top management. Therefore, in 12, after Leverkusen fired coach Dutt, he directly appointed Hyypia as the team's interim coach.

As a result, Hypia transformed into another talented young marshal in Europe because of this opportunity.

Because at the end of the Bundesliga season, Leverkusen led by him ranked third in the Bundesliga, such a debut performance is undoubtedly very good.

Looking at this experience alone, Hypia and Speed ​​have a similar process of transformation into coaches.

They all entered the coaching staff after the successful retirement of the club they coached, and then they all quickly took over the coach of the first team.

In addition to not having the experience of sharpening and qualifying in the second-tier league, Hyypia and Speed ​​also had the same results in their first season of coaching in the five major leagues, both ranking third in the league.

So after the end of last season, as Speed ​​led the team to win the British Triple Crown and became famous in Europe, many German fans also jokingly gave Hypia a "Little Speed" foreigner. Number.

However, pharmaceutical companies will not spend huge transfer fees to complete large-scale signings like Sheffield United, and the Bundesliga policy does not allow it.

Hypia could only buy some people in Xia Chuang. Fortunately, it seems that the new players are performing well, and he has further confirmed his nickname.

After all, when Sheffield United had no money, Speed ​​also relied on his ability to know people with a pair of eyes to hunt people around.

Leading the team to the Premier League with a very small budget, and using this as a team to establish the new Sheffield United, this history of the rise of Sheffield United is already well known by fans of major leagues.

The reason is simple. The media wrote enough details and reported enough times. Even those who are not interested can still remember the general content after seeing related reports a few times.

In this public opinion environment where fans and the media ridicule the two young coaches with similar family histories, UEFA arranged for Sheffield United and Leverkusen to be assigned to a group, and the intention is quite obvious.

This time they not only want to earn traffic from two Asian players, but also earn traffic from two popular young coaches.

The abacus is loud enough, but the neutral fans don't care at all, as long as there are gimmicks and excitement to watch.

In the eyes of fans who know the ball, the confrontation between the head coaches of the two sides has officially started since Hyypia made this quick adjustment.

Sheffield United has the confidence to win at home, and they are currently playing the best formation. They will completely disrupt Leverkusen's organization and tactical layout in the midfield.

But Hyypia's preparations are also sufficient. Sheffield United is not in a hurry to attack, and he is even less in a hurry to command the players to press out.

Anyway, it is not to give Sheffield United the opportunity to easily play the frontcourt and quickly counterattack!

Although he has only been a coach for one year, before that, he was a player who has played in European games all the year round. Those who have played old games naturally know what is the most taboo in away games in the Champions League.

The home team is not aggressive, but your visiting team is a ghost, it is always right to be more cautious.

And today they are actually here for a draw, so what if they defend 0-0?

In this group, Leverkusen is not afraid of anyone, but that doesn't mean they are arrogant enough to fight for the top spot in the group.

Sheffield United's paper strength is undoubtedly the strongest in this group, so Hyypia's game strategy is also very simple.

Try to tie Sheffield United in the first round, then go shopping for Real Sociedad, and then look at Juventus' record in the first two rounds to see if you want to continue shopping.

This kind of strategy is very practical and has a high fault tolerance rate. They don't have to fight the other three teams to the death.

In the death group, saving energy and energy to fight against the opponents who can fight, and then fighting for a handshake with stronger opponents is the correct way to qualify.

Leverkusen's goal this year is to qualify for the Champions League group, and it is all a matter of luck to enter the quarterfinals.

So Hypia doesn't have too much pressure on him now, it's too reasonable for him to use the bus to fight back in the away game!

After nearly 10 minutes of the game, Speed ​​looked at Leverkusen's half-court defense with as many as seven, sometimes even eight or nine men, shook his head, and then looked deeply at the coach bench next door. glance.

Hyypia's tactical arrangement is too practical. It seems that Leverkusen is in the same four-three-three formation as Sheffield United, but in reality?

Leverkusen's double central midfielder, like Sheffield United's Medel, is a role that can be placed back at any time to play as a midfielder.

The positions of the two wide players have also retracted a lot. When counterattacking, they can pull the side to increase their speed, but in the stalemate stage, the two wide players will move closer to the center to assist in defense.

This is a variant of the four-five formation. If you want to play a quick counterattack, people will not be fooled. The three midfielders are deep enough and the rotation between defensive players is fast enough. It can be said that the pre-match preparations are quite sufficient.

"It is said that I am conservative, today I am more conservative, hehe."

Speed ​​rubbed his chin, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This Hyypia reminded him of the Pochettino he met in the league some time ago. Although the two are young in the coaching circle, in terms of strength, the two have already surpassed many so-called "old men". Qualifications" coach.

After all, it was the midfielder who played in the player era. Players in this position have a lot of advantages after they transform into head coaches. Their super ability to read the game is their biggest advantage.

Speed ​​readily admitted his mistake in his heart, but he also made adjustments quickly.

Leverkusen didn't want to be beaten by Sheffield United, so they just put up a stance and fought in position. This was chosen by Hyypia himself, no wonder he is Speed.

"No need to go forward too often! Stabilize the possession of the ball, yes! Come back a bit and tell Li Duo to retreat to get the ball! Let's play No. [-] tactic!"

The old handsome guy stood on the sidelines and yelled, Drinkwater was close, and after hearing it clearly, he quickly explained to Medel in front of him and Maguire behind him.

After a while, Li Mo, who received Medel's order, retreated decisively.

He first gestured a "three" gesture towards Speed ​​on the sidelines, Speed ​​nodded, and Li Mo nodded after seeing this, with his mind at ease.

"Nene! Nene! If you have a chance, you should take the ball to attack their midfielders and full backs. The midfielder on your side is Rolfes. He is old and his pace cannot keep up. Come on, force him to foul more!"

Taking advantage of a dead ball, Li Mo called Neymar over, covered his mouth and gave him a quick warning.

Neymar gave him a "you look good" look, indicating that he was sure.

On the other side, Bell is more familiar with the team's various tactics and knows how to do it, so there is no need for Li Mo to explain it again.

After Sheffield United sent a sideline ball again, Li Mo stepped forward to meet Bell who was leading the ball for observation, and after Emrejan tried to interfere with his back, he moved the ball sideways to the right.

After Neymar received the ball, he signaled Trippier, who was on the edge, to slow down first, and then he slowly started to advance, retracting and killing Leverkusen's veteran midfielder Rolfes!
This time Neymar didn't have extra fancy moves, relying on a faster pace, he wanted to use continuous changes of direction to force Rolfes.

After all, the 31-year-old Rolfers is 1.9 meters tall, and his frontal defense is tough, but as long as he is passed, his height is doomed to be a disadvantage in turning around.

Even if his reaction and agility are good for a tall midfielder, but being targeted by a flexible and fast young winger like Neymar, there is really no other better way than to stay strong.

Li Mo moved forward and inserted in front of another Leverkusen midfielder Reinartz, making it clear that he was not allowed to help Rolfess in the defense. Neymar also lived up to expectations. The first strong attack caused Ronaldo Elfais' helpless foul.

Li Mo routinely put pressure on the referee first, and half a minute later he seemed to be dissatisfied and muttered and left the referee's side.

But where the live camera could not take care of, Li Mo raised the corner of his mouth and winked at Neymar, indicating that he did a good job.

Drinkwater held the ball and walked towards the penalty spot, directly directing the positions of a group of teammates in the Leverkusen penalty area.

Seeing one after another tall and strong players squeezed into his own penalty area, the young Leverkusen goalkeeper Leno became nervous, and shouted to his teammates to keep an eye on the Sheffield United's few masters. .

Hyypia also frowned and stood up from the coach's bench. He turned his head suspiciously and glanced at Speed, who was already standing on the sidelines.

Such fouls and set-piece opportunities appear many times in every game, which seems normal, but Hyypia always feels that Neymar's sudden adduction and strong move is not that simple.

But now that Sheffield United is about to kick off, Hyypia can only bury his doubts in his heart first, and plans to watch this set-piece defense before thinking about it.

With the whistle of the referee, Drinkwater ran up and sent a rubbing pass with a large arc!

This kind of pass is the least favorite of the set-piece defender, but it is very beneficial for the offensive team to complete the top goal!

Vertonghen and Matic took off from the front point and the center of the goal respectively, directly dismantling the integrity of Leverkusen's entire defense.

And Li Mo and Maguire, who were ambushing at the back point, overwhelmed their respective opponents and jumped to the top!
At this moment, Hypia felt his heart stopped for half a beat, and the entire Bramall Lane Stadium was instantly filled with a lot of screams and exclamations!
It was almost impossible to see who hit the ball, and Leno quickly kicked the ground to make a save, slightly changing the trajectory of the ball with his fingertips at the nick of time.

The football, which was heading straight for the goal, also changed its direction. Under Leno's horrified eyes, it finally bounced on the post and returned to the penalty area!

Li Mo's second reaction was quick, and he was about to rush forward to complete the supplementary shot.

Spasic, an experienced old central defender, put his hands on Li Mo's shoulders subconsciously.

At this moment, he couldn't care about whether he would be punished by the referee for the yellow dot package because of this. He just wanted to stop Li Mo's supplementary shot first!

But he didn't expect at all that the huge force emanating from Li Mo's body would drag him forward a step ahead!
It was this short step that allowed Li Mo to block the shot in front of the goal!
A completely unconventional shooting action, not even using his feet, Li Mo directly used his calf to block the ball to Levkusen's goal again!

But this time, Leno just got up from the ground, and he didn't have time to make a surprise attack. He could only watch the football roll into the goal he was guarding!
At this moment, the exclamation on the scene transformed into cheers almost seamlessly!
The huge carnival sound swept across the entire stadium in an instant like a tsunami, slapping the Leverkusen fans to the core!

Until now, most of the Leverkusen fans in the stands have not realized that they have conceded the ball!
Li Mo, who scored the goal, roared and rushed out of the crowd, but was stopped by Maguire's big hand on the way to the corner flag area. The two fell on the turf together, and then passionately sprayed vulgar language to each other Embrace!

The rest of the Sheffield United players followed suit and celebrated the "unexpected" goal!

Except for the cheering Sheffield United fans, most of the commentators were not ready.

Not to mention Hypia's bewildered face, even Speed's eyes widened, looking uncertain!
No. 16 minutes in the first half!First set piece attempt!Sheffield United's second shot!

Just scored a goal like this? !
After watching the referee signal that the goal was valid, Speed ​​quickly changed from being surprised to laughing ecstatically.

What does this mean? It means that luck is on Sheffield United's side today!
Li Mo's goal is very dependent on his physical fitness and basic skills, but the element of luck is definitely a more important factor.

He just finished the top, and the ball bounced off the goal post and came towards him. Leno fell to the ground in embarrassment after finishing the attack. He was facing almost an empty goal!

Isn't this the blessing of the goddess of luck?
But fans of Speed ​​and Sheffield United didn't dislike such luck at all, and they wished that there would be more and more of them!

"Unexpected! Completely unexpected! Li Mo's first goal in the UEFA Champions League this season!!! This is also the first goal in this season's UEFA Champions League! At the moment in other stadiums, maybe the fans are still nervous Looking at the changing situation on the field, many fans are still sitting on their buttocks, but at Bramall Lane Stadium, Sheffield United fans are already reveling in the team's lead!"

"Leverkusen's players seem to be a little stunned. To be honest, I still don't understand what's going on. Maybe we can see the process of this goal clearly after watching the replay of the live broadcast. .It looks like Maguire scored one point, and Xiao Li grabbed two points, right?"

"Uh, it should be, haha! But this goal must have been scored by Li Mo! The strong will be strong! This will take the lead. In the rest of the game, Speed ​​has a lot of room for tactical adjustments." Big!"

Zhan Jun talked to Speed, but he also felt deeply sorry for Hypia in his heart.

As a die-hard Liverpool fan, Zhan Jun naturally has deep affection for Hyypia.

Seeing that the man he once supported so much was about to be targeted by Speed's tactics, Zhan Jun could only sigh silently.

But on the other hand, he is also a supporter of Li Mo and Sheffield United, so his mood is both happy and regretful, just like he usually commented on the match between Liverpool and Sheffield United.

Old tangled!

Hypia feels fucked.

He also said that after watching this set-piece defense, he would further control Sheffield United's offensive methods, but in the end he directly saw a Sheffield United goal!

"Fake!"

Hyypia couldn't calm down, and no coach could calm down when faced with such an unexpected situation that broke his tactical layout.

After swearing out a sentence with a British accent, he gritted his teeth and walked back to the coach's bench, while his assistant coach had already picked up the tactical board.

After suppressing his ecstasy, Speed ​​decisively called his assistant.

Hypia will definitely use their backup tactics, no matter how they play when they fall behind, Speed ​​has already made his own plans.

"If he wants to be safe, we will continue to fight them steadily. If he wants to attack, we will take advantage of the trend to counterattack! To pinch their lives, it is best to kill them before the end of the first half!"

Speed ​​clenched his fist with his right hand and slammed it hard into the palm of his left hand.

He doesn't even know how to play against each other. It's purely to give Leverkusen a chance. He just wants to play defense. Regardless of luck or strength, leading is leading. Sheffield United must use the best method. Grind Leverkusen bit by bit!
"We all know what kind of tactical adjustments Speed ​​will make in this situation. If Hyypia has studied Sheffield United enough, he should also have anticipated the difficulties his team will face next!"

"It's useless to just know, how to take countermeasures is the key, but to be honest, with a perfect superstar like Li, Leverkusen basically can't cope with Sheffield United's smooth and threatening quick counterattack. In this case, either firmly believe that your offensive players can find a few opportunities to equalize the score, or be bold and directly press forward."

"But if you press forward, once you can't penetrate Sheffield United's line of defense, then Leverkusen will always have to bear the pressure of being hit on the counter and then conceding the ball, gnashing your teeth and attacking. This is a great mental drain for the players! "

"Yes, so it depends on Hyypia's adjustments, but I personally think that Sheffield United has won 90% of this game."

Sky Sports today's special guest directly invited Alan Shearer. Not surprisingly, after Sheffield United took the lead, Shearer directly spoke and concluded that Sheffield United won.

His lavish praise of Li Mo made fans of other Premier League teams feel a little uncomfortable, but on this point that Sheffield United has won the key to victory, these fans have maintained the same view as Shearer.

After all, almost all the teams supported by fans from all walks of life have been tortured to death by Sheffield United, a bloody lesson!

As soon as Sheffield United got the advantage, Speed ​​chose not to be a human being!

Sheffield United is okay when they play offensive football occasionally, at least those Premier League teams who are behind can die more happily.

But once they fall into Sheffield United's defense rhythm, life is really worse than death!

If you don't attack, Sheffield United will stabilize the defense and grind your offensive players. If you attack, Sheffield United will counterattack with Li Mo's unscrupulous long pass!
The Manchester City duo, the Blues Gunners, Tottenham Everton, which Premier League powerhouse has not been tortured to death like this?
If Leverkusen is a team that has never played against Sheffield United before, if they can't break through the steel defense line of Sheffield United's midfield today, it may be explained here.

Who made them drop the ball?

Under the gloating gaze of countless Premier League fans, Hyypia finally made the decision to launch a formation and attack first.

In addition to trusting the offensive players, the Finn can only pray for a stronger defense at the moment, but don't let Sheffield United seize the opportunity to penetrate again!

The players of Sheffield United now have a lot of confidence in their hearts. After the celebration, they trot back to their own half confidently.

There is no need for Speed ​​to deliberately adjust and explain, the old players know how to deal with Leverkusen in the future.

After the start of the game, Li Mo led Bell back to fill the defensive gap at the top of the arc in the middle circle, because Medel was about to fall back to the midfielder position.

Neymar's position is slightly forward, his defensive skills are not yet good, and he is temporarily a tool to contain Leverkusen's backcourt organization.

Hyypia watched Sheffield United's "changing formation", and his eyelids twitched!

This shit, learn and use it, right?Mutant Four Five One, right? !
The players of Leverkusen also feel a little uncomfortable, and use their tricks to deal with them in reverse?
This is somewhat contemptuous.

But the conscience of heaven and earth, the players of Sheffield United and Speed ​​​​have never thought about it this way.

On the defensive end, Speed ​​often puts up three defensive midfielders. When necessary, Li Mo and Bell retreat to help defend. There is a lot of dirty work to do, but today it just happened to collide with the opening tactics arranged by Hypia. That's all.

Playing wrongly, Leverkusen players put more energy into the counterattack and wanted to prove themselves.

The offensive looked like a torrential rain for a moment. After the two wings spread out, Leverkusen's attack was quite lively, and the thousands of fans of Minmin Pharmaceutical Factory on the scene also shouted like venting.

Sun Xingmin was very excited. He has never been a shy and introverted player. The bigger the scene, the more fighting spirit he has.

Now that Leverkusen is eager to attack, his chances have increased accordingly. Facing the defense of Trippier and Drinkwater, he still took advantage of his speed at the beginning.

After all, he is a young player who dares to take the ball to make moves. When Sun Xingmin once entered Sheffield United's defensive third zone with the ball, the South Korean reporters on the scene were almost crazy with joy!

Li Mo's goal was expected, and Sheffield United's lead did not surprise them, but Sun Xingmin's brilliant performance really surprised them.

I am not afraid of young players making mistakes on the court, but I am afraid that young players will be timid and afraid to perform on the big stage.

Now it seems that Sun Xingmin is not stage fright at all. He also played well against the Sheffield United stars in the Champions League. The future is bright!

However, Sheffield United's backcourt defense is not so easy. After finding out some of Sun Xingmin's extraordinary habits, the ruthless people in Sheffield United's backcourt will not continue to give him a chance to perform.

What should we do in the face of a speedy and technical winger with a slightly thin body?
Go directly to the body!

As soon as Drinkwater made a small move, and Trippier was in a strong position to fight against him, even if Sun Xingmin evolved to the peak form of later generations, he would feel very uncomfortable, let alone him who is still training.

Sheffield United is not a Bundesliga team, so it will not give the opponent's wingers too much room to move. After the trial is over, they will directly adopt targeted restrictions.

If you are fast, I will not give you room to speed up. If you have good skills, I will use some small fouls to prevent you from showing your technical advantages.

You know, Neymar and Belco are both in the Sheffield United team now.

In terms of practicing offense and defense with technical and speed-based offensive players, the defensive players of Sheffield United should not be too rich in experience. Sun Xingmin is still too young, so let's break through after a few years of training!
Seeing that the advantage played by Sun Xingmin's side gradually disappeared, the South Korean reporters and Hyypia on the sidelines were extremely anxious.

The winger Sam on the other side of Leverkusen faced Matic and Bell's flanking attack, and only made a small wave. At this time, he was also quickly extinguished. Sen had no choice but to hit the middle.

But looking at Kisling, who could not gain the upper hand in the confrontation with Maguire, Hyypia directly gave up the option of playing in the middle.

A single Maguire has already killed Kisling. Leverkusen's strongest center has no physical advantage.

In desperation, Hyypia could only signal Emrejan to get in more, and then let Sun Xingmin and Sam try to take more inside cuts and hit Sheffield United's rib area.

Inserting in the midfield can disrupt the opponent's defense layout, and in many cases can have unexpected offensive effects. Dembele in Sheffield United is a good example.

But when enjoying this tactical effect, the risks that need to be taken are not small.

Behind Dembele there will be Matic, Drinkwater, Medel, and even two outstanding full-backs to wipe his ass.

What about Leverkusen?Expect the two tall midfielders to withstand Sheffield United's counterattack?

At this point, it's really not the Sheffield United players and Speed ​​who underestimate Leverkusen. This is a very real problem.

Leverkusen's Reinarts and Rolfers are both tall midfielders. They have an advantage in playing positional battles and confronting them head-on. Although they still can't stand up to Li Mo, they can carry other normal centers. is no problem.

But if you want them to compete with their opponents in speed, turn around, and agility, that is to make things difficult for them.

When Speed ​​chooses the starting combination of midfielders for each game, why does he always like to use a tall type partner with an agile sweeping type?
That's why.

Playing a double defensive midfielder does not mean putting two players of the same type and you are done, but to form a complementary combination, a whole that does not seem to have many weaknesses.

Hyypia may have considered this when he played Emrejan today, but at the moment he asked Emre to plug in, and the two behind Leverkusen or a tall midfielder, the problem was completely exposed come out.

Hyypia had no other choice. He could only do this in order to equalize the score as soon as possible at this time.

Let Emrejan, who has a stronger desire to attack and is more capable of plugging in, take on this responsibility.

Leverkusen's offense seems to have undergone some changes. After Emre Jan and Sun Xingmin made a pass and cut cooperation, a long-range shot outside the penalty area of ​​Sheffield United seems to be telling Hyypia:
You are right!If you continue to stick to this offensive style of play, at least you have started to have a chance to threaten shots, right?

So Hypia gritted his teeth and persisted. He chose to bear the pressure and attack for a few more rounds.

If after 35 minutes in the first half, Leverkusen still has nothing to gain on the offensive end, he will shrink the formation.

The idea is good, and Hypia's tactical arrangement did not make any major mistakes. The double midfielders in the backcourt are still in a stable position. It seems that everything is going according to his plan.

But this group of Sheffield United players with extremely rich anti-anti-counterfeiting experience chose to hit a fatal blow when Leverkusen's generals gave birth to new hopes!
In the No.209 minute of the first half, Medel used a tough confrontation to cause Emrejan to make a pass error.

Matic, who was observing behind them, decisively stretched out his long legs to complete the steal, and then directly slid the ball diagonally to Drinkwater who started to advance.

Brother Drinking Water has been paying attention to the positions of several players in the front court in advance, so he is already ready to play the ball.

Matic's pass continued to roll forward on the ground. After Drinkwater caught up, he sent a long pass straight away!
He didn't look for Bell, who has an absolute speed advantage on the left, nor did he look for Li Mo. He unexpectedly chose to transfer the ball to Neymar, who was standing on the right or even a little behind!
Rolfes decisively pushed towards the left half of his side, and Reinarts correspondingly filled the middle position.

And just when Leverkusen's overall defense line moved up, Neymar stopped the ball sideways almost perfectly, and then sent a through ball diagonally!
This is Sheffield United's new offensive routine on the offensive end, especially on the counter-attack end!
When the opponents are used to Sheffield United's long pass to find Bell, or to find Li Mo a little bit to let Li Mo ferry again, Neymar's side will become their fatal omission point!
Sure enough, Leverkusen's defense was messed up by two consecutive passes from Drinkwater and Neymar.

Li Mo also made a pretense in the middle, he followed forward, but Neymar's pass was directly looking for Bell who was comfortably accelerating on the left!

A simple tactical change allowed Leverkusen's defense to directly declare a major crisis.

Hypia almost couldn't hold back his anger, he roared anxiously, telling the defensive players to retreat quickly.

But the accelerated Bell is not so easy to chase.

Leverkusen's right-back Donati did not foul the first time, and was directly beaten by Bell without the ball.

When Bell led the ball and continued to accelerate, there was an empty space in front of him. Spasic, who was staying in the penalty area, did not dare to press out to compete with Bell, so he could only follow Bell to move back to the baseline.

"The Great Sage stepped on a somersault cloud!!! It's too fast! Spahic didn't dare to attack, Bell is going to overtake again!"

Zhan Jun was very excited, and it was hard to calm down with Bell's speed.

And when Bale broke out again and waded past Spahic near the baseline, the Sheffield United fans on the scene screamed like they were going crazy!

A very classic Bell-style one-stop performance on the wing. After the speed and passion, Bell did not wait for Leverkusen goalkeeper Leno to make any reaction, and decisively swept the ball to the back of the Leverkusen goal!
Li Mo's figure who had been hiding about half a step behind Toprak's back defense suddenly accelerated violently, and the tacit understanding with Bell made him make the most correct decision to sprint at this moment.

The linesman did not raise the flag, Li Mo is not offside!
Toprak was squeezed out of his position by Li Mo's explosive impact. When Li Mo kicked and shot the ball, he couldn't even complete the normal defensive interference action.

After all, his figure seems to be a lot smaller than Li Mo, this one-on-one confrontation is really a bit tragic!

No matter how fast Leno's reaction and speed are, it cannot be faster than Bell's pass.

Li Mo's light push became the last straw that crushed Leverkusen's defense!
When the football got into Leverkusen's goal net again, Alan Shearer on the Sky Sports commentary platform even raised his arms high and said bluntly, "The game is over!"!
After watching the football hit the net, Li Mo took advantage of the trend and rushed to the bottom line.

He patted his chest, roared, jumped high, and then turned around with a fist!

Under the jersey blown up by the wind was his abs that were as strong as steel. This scene made many female fans go crazy again!
After landing, Li Mo shook his head slightly, his appearance was simply too insane!

Bell and Neymar laughed and hugged Li Mo, who was working hard, and the three of them waved their fists at the stands of diehard Sheffield United fans, ushering in another wave of crazy cheers!

"This is Sheffield United's counterattack style!!! Incomparable Lee, incomparable Gareth Bale! Incomparable Sheffield United! What else is there to say?! Leverkusen have no chance of coming back! They and last year Like Schalke 04, there is a huge gap in strength between Sheffield United and Sheffield United!"

Alan Shearer opened the carnival on behalf of the fans of Sheffield United, which means, it is short of saying:

"It's really not good for you to be third in the Bundesliga. Next time, just call your boss!"
