Chapter 189 Oops, we've become stand-ins!
After the No.30 round of the league, the teams ranked third to No.5 in the Premier League standings are Sheffield United, Arsenal and Tottenham.
After almost half a season of catching up, Arsenal finally returned to their familiar position. Many Arsenal fans watched this scene with tears in their eyes!
At the beginning of the season, he was beaten up one after another by a strong team, so what if he was beaten 8-2 by Manchester United?Their Arsenal is still coming back!
And now Sheffield United, Arsenal, and Tottenham have 56, 55, and 54 points respectively.
how about it?Surprised or not?Is it irritating?
Although Arsenal is at risk of being overtaken by Tottenham at any time, Sheffield United is also at risk of being overtaken by Arsenal at any time after two consecutive league losses.
Who would have thought of this before two rounds of competition!
The position of Sheffield United is unstable at once, and judging from the current state of the three teams, let alone the top four, Sheffield United is likely to be squeezed out of the top four by Tottenham.
After all, no matter how bad Tottenham's condition is, it will only be two consecutive draws, and Sheffield United will directly lose two consecutive games. This is the rhythm of collapse.
Not to mention the noisy voices of the outside media, the pressure within the Sheffield United team has suddenly increased a lot.
Speed is starting to regret it now. He should have been tougher at the beginning, and shouldn't have softened his heart and let these unlucky kids play in the FA Cup match against Chelsea.
An FA Cup game made Sheffield United instantly become passive in the league. After losing to Chelsea, Newcastle, and Wolves, there is nothing to lose in the future. If they lose another game, the public opinion of the outside world will explode directly. up.
Although Judging from the top six goals in the middle of the season, Sheffield United has overachieved, and is now six points ahead of Newcastle, which is sixth, but the key is that not only the outside media, fans, but also Sheffield United. I don't think we can just pursue the top six.
After winning the League Cup, Sheffield United has already secured a place in the European competition, so why not pursue a higher level and go directly to the Champions League next season?
The UEFA Champions League, as soon as this idea appears in the minds of Sheffield United players, it will never be forgotten. This is the highest level competition in football today. Who would want to play in the UEFA Champions League?
And for the club, it is definitely a better choice to be able to play in the Champions League. Regardless of income, just participating in the Champions League can increase the popularity of Sheffield United in the world by several levels. A good performance, even if it only breaks into the knockout round, it will be very beneficial to the club's publicity!
So whether it is passive or active, the current Sheffield United team has set their sights on next season's Champions League.
The top four are the minimum requirements, and it is best to sit firmly in the top three. With this in mind, after two consecutive losses, the Sheffield United players are naturally under great pressure.
Speed and the coaching team felt the slightly oppressive atmosphere in the team, but they made a bold decision. This time, his attitude was very tough and he demanded that all players must obey!
"The main players will continue to rest for the next game?"
After Li Mo heard what Speed explained to him, he almost thought he heard it wrong.
At such a critical juncture, Speed decided to sacrifice the next league game to allow the main players to have sufficient rest time to fully adjust their state.
"Don't make a fuss, you can see their state for yourself. They will play Fulham in four days. Can they recover? And the Wolves have lost, so what if they lose to Fulham again?"
After making the decision, Speed seemed a little more relaxed, and while beckoning Li Mo to sit down, Speed took out a stack of reports given by the team doctor.
"The team doctor has been urging me for almost a week, saying that if I don't take a good rest, at least three or four of the main players will be injured. Tell me, if you play Fulham, how many players are really injured, let alone three or four, even two. One, play Tottenham, Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal, how many games do you think we can win?"
Speed's words made Li Mo fall into deep thought. Indeed, in Sheffield United's main lineup, it is really impossible to hurt two players at the same time. If Speed changes and adjusts, maybe he can still mend and If the strong team fights hard, if two players are injured, Sheffield United's midfield defense will basically be greatly reduced.
Leaving aside the declining Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, and Manchester City are all strong offensive teams. Sheffield United, which lacks two or three main players, may really be unable to withstand the impact of their opponents.
"Let them rest with peace of mind. It's time for training. It's the right thing to adjust my state as soon as possible. But there is one thing. No one is allowed to go to the nightclub for me during this time. Tell them well, boy, when the time comes, I will Don't blame me for being rude if you read someone's gossip in the Sun."
Speed explained to Li Mo, and then waved away.
Li Mo looked at Speed, "Boss, my fitness is fine, and I can play against Fulham when the time comes."
"You give me a club! Give me a rest! Put all your energy on the strong team that will play later, get out of here."
Speed laughed and cursed Li Mo out of the office.
In desperation, Li Mo had no choice but to call his teammates for a player meeting before the restorative training the next day.
The main players of Sheffield United looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they wanted to play, Speed seemed to have made up his mind this time. No one dared to question the head coach's decision, so he had to accept it honestly.
But this is also good, if the next round is off, the main players of Sheffield United can get almost two weeks to rest.
Such a period of recovery is obviously very precious, that is, Speed, who made the decision, will definitely be under tremendous pressure.
After all, with Speed's temperament, the players don't even need to think about it. At that time, he will definitely toughen up the media and take all the responsibility for making the rotation on himself.
This made the players feel ashamed. If they could win one more game in the previous game, the coaching staff would not have to bear so much pressure now.
Several players who love to play seriously told Li Mo that they would never go out to fool around during the break.
Li Mo also made a sprint mobilization for the final stage of the league.
"From the No.30 second round of the league, we only have the last seven games left, four of which are against strong teams, including our direct opponents for the fourth round, Arsenal and Tottenham, everyone knows this What it means, I know, no one wants to lose the chain at the last moment, but the result of the game is not known until the game is played. No matter how beautiful the words are, it has to rely on strength to speak. The boss has been under pressure for the past ten days. After I came out, I have only one request, take a good rest, train hard, No.30 will play Everton in the second round, and have a beautiful turnaround!"
Li Mo's words were approved by all his teammates. In the following restorative training, all the players were very involved. After the training, everyone went home to rest honestly. The coaching staff was also very pleased.
And when it came to the match day of the No.30 round of the league, after Speed released the roster before the match, he was questioned by the media as expected.
"My main players need to rest, it's as simple as that, I'm not only responsible for the team's record, I also need to be responsible for the health of the players, my lads are still very young, this is only their first Premier League season, I think they have done enough and if we don't make the top four this season, that's my responsibility!"
When Speed made such remarks at the pre-match press conference, the reporters at the scene all died down.
But this is only temporary. After all, Speed took the initiative to take the responsibility. If Sheffield United enters the top four this season, the reporters will praise him and praise him for his courage. But if Sheffield United cannot enter the top four. Fourth, the reporters will also criticize him based on what he said today.
At this time, the celebrities of English football also spoke out to support Speed.
Alan Shearer, Speed's old friend and number one Li Chuan, was the first to speak in an interview:
"Gary has no problem at all! The health of the players should always come first. The boys of Sheffield United have done well enough this season, but if they have to sacrifice their own health to get into the top four Qualifications, then I think their health should be the most important thing, God, it is a miracle to survive with such a lineup, can you ask these young lads to do more?"
The rest of the celebrities also expressed the same point of view.
In the football world, the biggest enemy of a player is always injury. The young team of Sheffield United has brought great surprises to the Premier League. Among them are many outstanding young players from England, such as Drink Walter, Maguire, Trippier, Bertrand, Vardy.
They are all likely to be selected for the next British national team. Drinkwater has even been inspected by Capello's team many times before. Unfortunately, Capello has left in February this year. At present, the new national team coach has not yet been determined, so it is a pity that Drinkwater missed the opportunity to enter the national team in the near future.
But as long as the new head coach of the national team is not blind, with his performance in Sheffield United this season, it is a certainty that Drinkwater will enter the national team. This side speaks.
After all, when Sheffield United hurts a few young players, it will not only damage the strength of the Sheffield United team, but also the future of the British national team.
Amidst the turmoil, Speed took the full bench to an away game against Fulham, ranked No.13 in the league.
However, unlike what most people guessed, Sheffield United did not lose at Fulham's home court in the end. Instead, they stubbornly withstood Fulham's offensive and successfully scored a point at Craven Farm Stadium!
0-0, Sheffield United's substitute lineup drew with Fulham with difficulty and stopped the losing trend, which surprised the pessimistic media.
Also relying on this precious point, although Sheffield United was overtaken by Arsenal, which won another game, they still ranked in the top four by virtue of their goal difference advantage over Tottenham with the same score!
The main players of Sheffield United also spoke on social media after watching the game, praising the Sheffield United substitute players who played today and the efforts of the whole team.
Li Mo also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he is still in the top four, the next step is to defend the ring, anyway, as long as he is ahead of the fifth Tottenham, and then work hard to see if he can get into the top three.
Eh?It seems something is wrong, in this description.
Li Mo suddenly slapped his forehead and yelled that it's not good!
"We're fucking Arsenal stand-ins!"
