Chapter 190 Bloody Everton, Start Slaughter Mode
In the No.30 round of the league battle, the form of the Premier League standings has once again undergone tremendous changes.
Apart from Arsenal's break into the top three and the strong announcement of Arsenal's return, Manchester City's performance is the most surprising.
It's not that they played too well, but that they played so that countless fans were surprised.
After Sheffield United defeated Manchester United in a make-up match, the points gap between Manchester City and Manchester United remained at one point.
In the next two rounds, Manchester City's opponents did not have a strong team. Against Stoke City and Sunderland, the two mid-lower teams, let alone others, Manchester City's own players are confident that they will win steadily.
But Manchester City did not win a game, two consecutive draws!
Even in the No.30 round, at their home court, Manchester City was directly beaten by the black cat Sunderland.
Had it not been for No. 805 minutes later, the consecutive goals of Balotelli and Kolarov tied the score at 3-3, and Manchester City would even usher in a "shameful" defeat.
From top to bottom, Manchester United seemed to be stunned by a surprise that fell from the sky.
Manchester City hadn't met a strong enemy yet, so they stretched their hips first, and the one-point gap became five points, and Manchester United's fault tolerance rate also greatly increased.
Ferguson almost wanted to pop champagne in the office to celebrate.
The initiative to win the championship is entirely on Manchester United's side. As long as they don't make too many mistakes, they will usher in another two consecutive league championships.
And in the next round of the league, Manchester City is about to challenge Arsenal, which is in hot form, away, and Manchester United will face Queens Park Rangers at home, which is currently fourth-to-last in the league.
This is another good opportunity for Manchester United to continue to widen the gap.
The match between Manchester City and Arsenal is also the focus of the No.30 second round of the Premier League. Countless fans have circled the day of April 4th, and they are waiting to see the battle between the attacking teams on that day.
At the same time, many fans also set their sights on April 4, which is the date when Sheffield United will face Everton at home.
After sacrificing another league game, whether Sheffield United will return strongly or continue to slump basically depends on the performance of this game.
And there is another thing that has attracted attention in English football recently.
Li Mo spent his 4th birthday on April 3rd.
The paparazzi photographed many "big shots" outside Li Mo's villa that day.
Needless to say, Mendes, the Sheffield United team and Speed, Alan Shearer, David Batty, Lineker, Michael Owen and Park Ji-sung also attended the party held by Li Mo.
These people were all invited by Mendes' team for Li Mo in advance. Li Mo himself didn't care about this kind of opportunity to get in touch with various people, but Mendes cared very much.
Among these people, there are big seniors in English football, and there are representatives of Asian football before. Making more friends will be of great benefit to Li Mo's subsequent career and network management.
Li Mo directly asked Mendez to make arrangements, but among the people invited, Li Mo was very familiar with it.
Alan Shearer is an old friend of Speed, and he has been to the Sheffield United Club to guide Li Mo several times before, and now Alan Shearer has said all kinds of good things for Li Mo on social media, Li Mo thinks It's hard not to like this senior.
Not to mention Park Ji-sung's words, now Li Mo meets this soon-to-retire "former Light of Asia" to drink tea from time to time, and the relationship between the two is quite good.
Even if the rest of the people didn't have much contact in private, they often turned into "Li Chui" during interviews, and Li Mo naturally entertained them wholeheartedly.
This time the party was not too big, and it was still held in Li Mo's small villa. Apart from the female companions of the invitees, there were basically no other members of the opposite sex.
In terms of food preparation, Mendes invited the best French and Italian chefs in Manchester to prepare the dinner three days in advance. He even found a professional and authentic restaurant in London to surprise Li Mo. The Chinese food chef presented Li Mo with a small table of authentic Sichuan cuisine that night.
This is indeed a big surprise for Li Mo. God knows how long it has been since he finished his special training last season and returned to England from China.
Mendes' arrangement received a big hug from Li Mo. After eating that night, it can be said that the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. French and Italian food can be regarded as meeting the appetite of everyone present. Anyway, as long as it is not English food, anything is easy to talk about.
Li Mo's 19th birthday was relatively low-key, but it was not simple under the arrangement of Mendes.
This party can be regarded as Sheffield United's last chance to relax before facing Everton. The next day, the Sheffield United players devoted themselves to training again.
The condition of the main players is getting better day by day, which also makes the Sheffield United coaching staff breathe a sigh of relief.
The two-week break can be regarded as the revival of these young men. As long as there is a proper rotation or two later, it should be no problem to play against the four strong teams.
In the final sprint stage of the league, whether Sheffield United can overwhelm Arsenal again depends on the performance of this group of main players, and seeing that the boys have no physical problems, Speed also greatly increased his confidence.
In the midst of active preparations, the time is slowly coming to April 4th. Today there will be six Premier League games kicking off at the same time. The match between Sheffield United and Everton is undoubtedly the focus of the day that attracts the most attention from fans. .
Li Mo's first game after his 19th birthday has made countless fans look forward to it. They all want to see if Li Mo can score his first Premier League goal after the age of 19 today, helping Sheffield United get off to a good start.
Moreover, Everton is currently ranked eighth in the league, and has overwhelmed Liverpool. The recent upward trend is also good, but it is not a weak team. Sheffield United's match against Everton can be regarded as a strong dialogue.
Among the ten games in this round, the degree of anticipation by fans is second only to tomorrow's battle between Manchester City and Arsenal. On the afternoon of April 4, a large number of media reporters also poured into the Bramall Lane Stadium.
In the past few rounds of the league, Sheffield United's performance can be described as "terrible", but the fans of Sheffield United still support the team 100%, and today's Bramall Lane Stadium is still full early , The reporters were amazed.
The players of Sheffield United have performed very well in the Premier League this season, and the fans of Sheffield United are no less.
Although the Bramall Lane Stadium can only accommodate a little over 3 people, which is far inferior to the home grounds of other Premier League giants, the home atmosphere created by Sheffield United fans is extremely hot.
In particular, the huge "Here is Sheffield" TIFO made Sheffield United's home court hailed by the media as another "devil's home court" in the Premier League.
"This stadium is a bit small, but everything else is okay. Sheffield's urban construction is also good, and it has the potential to become a big football market!"
"Anyway, it is one of the eight major cities. It must have market potential. Sheffield United performed so well this season. I think they will maintain this momentum for a year or two. I guess they have to expand the stadium, otherwise there will be many home fans. They can only stay at home to watch the game, and the club will definitely not let go of this ticket revenue."
"It's up to Li. If Li doesn't leave, Sheffield United can get a lot of sponsorship every year. If Li leaves, it is estimated that Sheffield United can only find a way to stay in the Premier League every season. Champions or something, yes Don't think about it."
The last reporter's speech hit the nail on the head. Regardless of how hot Sheffield United's football market is now, in the final analysis, Li Mo's existence has to account for most of the credit.
On the one hand, Li Mo is strong enough to prop up Sheffield United's offensive line with one goal after another, helping the team achieve excellent results.
On the other hand, Li Mo helped Sheffield United get sponsorship from the sponsor's father in Huaguo. Without the support of Huaguo's sponsors, Sheffield United would not be able to significantly increase the wages of the players this season, let alone in the winter window. Big hands have dropped Berbatov and Dembele.
So Li Mo is the "big thick leg" of Sheffield United. As long as Li Mo is there, the development of the Sheffield United Club can embark on a virtuous cycle. Without the guarantee, Sheffield United will have to relegation within a few years.
Therefore, if Sheffield United wants to really rise, the key is to see if they can keep Li Mo. In the football world, this kind of romantic story of one person, one city is becoming less and less.
The reporters at the scene didn't think that Li Mo would stay at Sheffield United until his retirement. For a young talent like Li Mo, going to Manchester United, Chelsea, Bayern, and Real Madrid is a reasonable choice. Why stay at Sheffield United? , Create a "Sheffield United miracle"?
Today, when Jinyuan football is so popular, this is almost impossible, unless.
Like Chelsea and Manchester City, Sheffield United was bought by local tyrants, and then spent a lot of money to sign in, buy one star after another, and spend money to win the championship.
But is that possible?
The reporters at the scene were all lost in thought.
But the warm-up players on both sides have already returned to the locker room, and the game is about to start. The cheers of the fans also interrupted the thinking of these reporters.
Both players returned to the locker room and started the final preparations. On Sheffield United's side, after Speed emphasized the last things to pay attention to, he also left time for Li Mo.
Li Mo tidied up his shin guards, and did not make long speeches to encourage the fighting spirit of his teammates.
Because after more than ten days of rest, while his teammates recovered their physical fitness, they also took a breath in their hearts!
Not only for themselves, but also for the members of the coaching staff who have been under pressure, and for Speed!
There is no need for Li Mo's mobilization. The Sheffield United players are suppressing their anger and can't wait to return to the game to prove to the outside world that Sheffield United is still the same Sheffield United!
What about the eighth Everton?Even if they play Manchester City again today, the Sheffield United players will do everything to win the game, and no one can stop them.
"Have you had enough rest, brothers?"
Li Mo asked with a smile, and his teammates were naturally eager to answer:
"I've had enough rest a long time ago! I have to fight Everton well today!"
"Hurry up, I can't help but kick the Everton guy's ass hard!"
"I have to score a few more goals, one or two is not enough to vent my depression."
Hearing this, Li Mo nodded in satisfaction, then forcefully opened the door of the locker room, and was the first to go out without saying a word.
What else needs to be mobilized today?
All Sheffield United players, including him, are like hungry wolves who have been holding back for a long time. Everton is the food in front of them. Does this situation still need to be mobilized?
To the end, without stopping, is the only thing the Sheffield United players have to do today. They will use a hearty victory to announce their return!
When the players of the two teams walked out of the player tunnel together, the Bramall Lane stadium immediately boiled up. The team anthem of Sheffield United began to sound above the stadium. The chorus of 3 people gave the Sheffield United players the best Powerful spiritual encouragement!
At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, after a simple opening ceremony, Li Mo kicked the ball to Vardy beside him at the kick-off point in the middle circle, and the game officially started!
Everton today played a four-three-three partial offensive formation. Facing Sheffield United's four midfielders, Everton wisely chose to retreat conservatively first. It seems that they intend to survive Sheffield United. The first wave of attack, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
However, after Sheffield United pressed forward collectively, it only took two or three minutes of testing, and then directly launched an offensive rhythm like a storm, overwhelming Everton's midfield players almost out of breath!
Matt Ridge, who was almost on the left, made a pass from the bottom and was ejected by Everton's central defender. Drinkwater, who took a penalty from the outside, followed up with a through ball. The shot tested American goalkeeper Howard's reaction nerves again!
This kind of offense is almost wave after wave, leaving Everton's players on the field with no extra time to think about how to break the game, and directly fell into the embarrassing situation of passive defense.
"Sheffield United's state is back! According to this offensive, Everton will not be tragic today, right?"
A reporter excitedly said on the sidelines that they don't care whether Everton can withstand the attack of Sheffield United. If Sheffield United can play a carnage-like performance today, then they will have more material to write about. .
After all, audiences like to watch such "dramas". Who wouldn't like The Return of the King?
While the reporters were thinking about how to write a press release, Medel fiercely cut off Everton midfielder Gibson's dribbling, and also strangled Everton's chance to counterattack.
The rest of the Sheffield United players pressed forward again at the first time, and Medel did not procrastinate, and put a straight kick in front of Trippier who was going forward. The young Trippier directly ate Everton's ball with his speed. Right back Hibbert.
At the moment of his bottom pass, Vardy suddenly ran forward and disrupted Everton's penalty area, and then Li Mo, who was pointing behind, took the opportunity to run to the middle of the penalty area. An incomparably domineering momentum pushed the ball into Everton's goal fiercely!
Howard wanted to pounce, but the ball almost brushed against the crossbar in the middle of the goal and quickly bounced into the goal. Howard was too late to take off, so he could only wave his hand in vain.
Only 9 minutes after the opening, the Sheffield United fans at the scene witnessed the moment when Li Mo scored the goal before their buttocks were hot. They jumped up from their seats in an instant, cheering and celebrating in surprise!
Li Mo put his hands behind his ears, and before he finished the celebration, he was thrown to the ground by his teammates behind him. They surrounded Li Mo excitedly, and started celebrating right near the bottom line!
"Trippier is about to hit the bottom! Li Mo's header! The goal has been scored!!! It's been almost two weeks, and the boys from Sheffield United gave Everton a hard blow as soon as they came up! Li Mo ! The first Premier League goal after the age of 19 came so quickly! This header is so beautiful! It seems that today, Everton's defense has to withstand a huge test!"
"Hey! It's less than 10 minutes into the opening! This is it! Xiao Li's state is too fast today, okay! Wear a hat and treat it as a birthday present for yourself!"
Zhang Lu happily started talking nonsense, but he scored in less than 10 minutes of the opening. Li Mo's state looks really good today, and it is possible to perform a hat trick. It depends on Everton's defensive adjustment. up.
At this moment on the field, Li Mo got up from the ground with great difficulty. He wanted to celebrate after scoring a goal, but he was thrown down by these animals. Fortunately, he had short hair. If he had long hair , Maybe it will become a chicken coop now.
However, he was in the same mood as his teammates at the moment, very excited, but after calming down a little, Li Mo beckoned his teammates to hurry back to their own half.
How is one enough?Must score a few more goals today!
Although I am a little sorry for Everton, who made them hit the gun?The main players of Sheffield United who urgently need to vent will not stop, unless Everton disarms and surrenders, otherwise this crazy attack will continue!
Speed also sat back on the coaching bench after celebrating with the assistant coach. There was no need to adjust any tactics. Just play with Everton, even if you lose the ball, but today's main tactic is to attack. One, then just add two more, no big deal.
Although he said that he has trained Sheffield United to be the strongest defensive team in the Premier League, he has not failed in the offense. He still pays great attention to the team's offensive quality, and with Li Mo in the frontcourt, Sheffield United If the firepower is fully fired, at least it can be ranked in the top five of the Premier League. Let go of the game today, just to test the quality of the team's offense.
The Everton players were a little angry. Li Mo's call to his teammates to return to the halftime was obviously not satisfied with this goal. Isn't this just looking down on Everton's defense?
With the idea of teaching Sheffield United a lesson, the Everton players also kicked off again soon.
"Huh? They still dare to attack?"
Drinkwater was still thinking about how to lure Everton's midfielders to press forward, so as to find more opportunities for counterattacks, but he did not expect that Everton's players would attack by themselves, and they were all on top. kind.
This made the Sheffield United players overjoyed.
Li Mo even gave the Everton players a thumbs up in his heart.
Fucking brother, this is it!
Fearing that Sheffield United's offense was not smooth enough and there were not enough opportunities, Everton's players chose to take the initiative to attack. This kind of behavior simply moved the Sheffield United players on the field.
However, in order to encourage Everton's midfielders to continue to implement such aggressive playing strategies, Sheffield United's midfielders, under the "intimate" guidance of Drinkwater, also deliberately retreated to leave enough space for them to play. Everton's brother is more convenient to plug in the attack.
So in the eyes of the Everton players, they have gradually gained the initiative on the field. At least the ball can pass through the midfield smoothly and start attacking in Sheffield United's half.
Although it is not a threat to Sheffield United's goal for the time being, at least there are a lot of offensive opportunities. If we continue to play like this, I will have the advantage!
In the No.203 minute of the first half, Everton had another offensive round, Tim Cahill dribbled the ball and advanced on the wing.
At this time, Everton's midfielders were almost all in Sheffield United's half. Even Neville Jr., who played as a midfielder in this game, was standing on the center line at the moment, ready to transfer the ball to his teammates at any time.
Such a position is very dangerous when facing Sheffield United, but the Everton players want to equalize the score as soon as possible at this moment, and take a good blow to the arrogance of Sheffield United. Followed into the Sheffield United half.
Seeing that Cahill's dribbling continued to deepen, Matic naturally would not give him a chance, and called Bertrand to grab it.
Therefore, after Cahill got rid of Bertrand, he faced Matic's decisive shovel directly.
"rush!"
After winning the ball, Matic dribbled the ball forward and yelled at the same time!
From left to right, Sheffield United's players rushed back to Everton's half in an instant!
It was also almost at the moment when Li Mo surpassed Everton's forward-pressing central defender, Matic's ecstatic long pass went straight towards him.
"Strong goal! Not offside! Li Mo rushed out against Everton's back line, Everton failed to get offside! Sheffield United's counterattack is coming!!!"
Li Mo, who was sprinting at full speed, was almost unstoppable, but Matic's pass was biased to the side. After Li Mo got the ball, he could only continue to run wildly in the side area of Everton. For a while, Everton Dayton's defenders all ran towards Li Mo.
This is completely a contest of speed. Everton players can only force Li Mo to the side as much as possible and prevent him from cutting inside when they are unable to defend closely. However, Li Mo keeps running watching.
He has now attracted a large number of Everton's defensive forces, and Everton's lagging player has only one Distin. At this moment, there is almost no defensive player around Everton's big penalty area!
Li Mo had an intuition welling up in his heart. Although he still couldn't see any Sheffield United players in his line of sight, he had a strong premonition.
Shift to the left in a wide range, Vardy will not let him down!
Thinking of this, Li Mo reassessed Distin's position, but after another ball kick, he suddenly made a large-scale transfer to the earth!
The football quickly ran to the left side of the field from his right half area against the turf!
Distin wanted to stretch out his foot to intercept at the first time, but the football completely bypassed his toes and quickly swept to the back point. Howard gritted his teeth and attacked directly.
But when the football was approaching Howard, it quickly rolled out of the penalty area and turned a slight arc. This arc was fatal at this moment. Howard, who was halfway through the attack, was dumbfounded!
Vardy chased the football desperately, and when he saw the football rolling towards him "obediently", Vardy was overjoyed.
At this moment, Howard was in the middle of the attack, and was retreating in a panic. Vardy measured his pace and pushed the football decisively and confidently to the far corner of the goal. Howard fell to the ground and tried to intercept, but nothing happened. He could only be desperate Looking back, I watched the football roll into the net of the goal.
"Oh!!! Li Mo's beautiful cut to the ground! Distin missed it! Vardy was running, Howard didn't reach the football?! The football turned, and Vardy pushed! The goal went in!!! Li Mo's pass is so ecstasy! Are you sure it's not a ground cut from a wide player???"
Zhan Jun's commentary was full of disbelief.
The pass skimmed the trailing Distin, turned in quickly as it approached Howard, and rolled towards Vardy as if turning a corner. Such a beautiful cut to the ground is almost like art. !
The Sheffield United fans at the scene also celebrated wildly. Only 20 minutes into the game, the team went down to two cities in a row, and Li Mo even sent out such an ecstasy assist!
Pass shot, within half an hour, Li Mo presented a pass shot performance, which excited the reporters at the scene.
Li Mo is going to explode today!
Faced with such a result, the Everton players on the field had a hard time accepting it. They all looked at Li Mo. It was hard to believe that such a pass came from Li Mo's feet.
It's a foul!Whose main scorer can pass the ball on the wing like this!
Li Mo laughed and ran towards Vardy.
To be honest, he had a gamble, but the result was good, and that was enough.
In less than half an hour, Li Mo passed the shot and made a contribution. His goals and assists GIFs quickly spread on the Internet and were quickly forwarded by countless fans.
The commentator of Sky Sports even used five "beautiful" in a row to marvel at Li Mo's pass!
The special guest bluntly said that this ball reminded him of Ronaldo and Beckham a few years ago.
Goals, wonderful long pass assists, Li Mo surprised the audience twice in just over 20 minutes, and there are almost 10 minutes left in the game, which made the fans guess. Today Li Mo What kind of performance will it play?
And at the moment on the court, Vardy pointed his finger at Li Mo, his face almost turned into a flower with a smile!
The cake was literally broken into pieces and fed directly into his mouth.
Almost all of them were pushing the empty door. It couldn't be easier for him to hit such a door!
"A few more passes like this, my dear Lee~"
Hearing Vardy's nasty speech, Li Mo quickly let go of his hugging hand, and pushed his head away with his hands in disgust.
The other Sheffield United players also ran over to celebrate with the two of them, all grinning.
"Are you peeking at David Beckham's video again?"
After Drinkwater, Li Mo and Vardy clapped their hands to celebrate, they looked at Li Mo curiously.
Li Mo likes to watch the game videos of former players to learn. Now the whole team knows it. Before learning Kaka's dribbling and attacking, and Berbatov's dribbling, Li Mo still learned it decently. In the end, they were all used on the court, so Drinkwater seriously suspected that Li Mo must be stealing Beckham's pass again.
Li Mo touched his nose, smiled and didn't deny it. He couldn't say that he was deluded. Such a pass is completely rare. It was hard to pretend to be forceful. Naturally, he couldn't admit it so quickly. up.
"Fuck! God is so unfair."
Medel looked at Li Mo enviously. What kind of talent is this? He can learn everything quickly. It may take several seasons for someone to learn a trick. Li Mo has learned several practical skills in less than one season. People are really more popular than people!
Everyone "ravaged" Li Mo again, and then let him go.
With this goal, no matter how dull Everton's players are, they must know that Sheffield United was deliberately luring them to attack.
But for the players of Sheffield United, even if Everton is prepared, it doesn't matter anymore. With the two-goal advantage in hand, Everton can squeeze as much as they want?
At this point in the game, Sheffield United will continue to attack. At most, it will take a little effort. If Everton wants to equalize the score, they will have to attack, unless they recognize the score and choose to defend to avoid conceding too many goals , then the Sheffield United players have nothing to say.
But this is almost impossible. After all, there are nearly 10 minutes left in the game. If Everton dares to defend now, their fans will be the first to stand up and question the team's decision.
Everton is not a small team, it can be regarded as one of the powerhouses of the Premier League, and they also have to pay attention to face. If they lose two goals and surrender, it will be a huge blow to the image of the club and the team, so no matter what However, the game still has to be played, and Everton's players will inevitably choose to continue attacking.
After the game restarted, Everton's players were much more cautious after the blow just now, but Sheffield United was not in a hurry, as if you wanted to attack as much as you want.
The two teams played back and forth for about ten minutes, but in the end it was Everton who couldn't help it.
Sheffield United lead by two goals, so they can afford it, but they can't afford it. If they can't win one goal in the first half, the pressure to win two goals in the second half will be too much!
So the Everton players still had to choose to launch an offense. Although the forward pressure was much smaller, it still gave Sheffield United an opportunity.
After all, if you attack, it can't just be the frontcourt players participating in the attack, right?
There must be at least two people in the midfield, and the two full-backs must be pressed and ready to pass at any time, right?
So no matter how cautious Everton is, their midfield and defense on both sides will be empty due to the choice of attack.
Li Mo and Vardy are also very smart in the rib area of Everton. They look harmless to humans and animals, but as long as there is a chance to counterattack, they can pull the side at the first time to attract Everton away. Dayton's defensive personnel, so that the teammates behind him can easily obtain a large space for advancement.
Originally, Sheffield United planned to attack the entire game in this game, but they couldn't hold back Everton's players to give them a chance. Since Everton's players can't stand up and fight against counterattacks, then Sheffield United will be able to defend. Perfect them, let them attack casually.
The game time is approaching No. 40 minutes in the first half, and Everton's offensive options have also become rough.
The more anxious they are, the more calm the Sheffield United midfielders, especially Drinkwater, will be.
After being taught by Speed's precepts and deeds, Brother Drinking Water has become more and more fond of observing the situation on the field after retracing his position. His ability to read the game is also visible to the naked eye. It is much better than when he first came to Sheffield United.
Seeing that Everton's players struggled to find an offensive point, Drinkwater planned to help them and directed Medel to start to grab.
Medel did not question the decision of his own core, and attacked decisively. Gibson was overjoyed when he saw this, and after collaborating with Cahill to hit the wall, he finally sent the ball to the forward Baynes.
Leighton Bynes can be regarded as one of the thighs in Everton's offensive system. This Toffee's magic wing technique on the left is quite good. After breaking into the hinterland of Sheffield United, he quickly drove The rest of Everton's players moved forward decisively.
As the player who created the most opportunities for the Toffees, Baines is Everton's left-sided engine. His cross can not only create opportunities for the Everton striker in the Sheffield United penalty area, but also allow the back to plug in. Cahill is quite a threat.
After all, Cahill's header ability is also well-known. Cahill's favorite is the cross sent to him by Baines. At this moment, all the offensive players in Everton's frontcourt are watching Baines's choice. This can be regarded as a rare opportunity for Everton to attack in the first half.
Seeing that Everton's players were mobilized, Drinkwater quickened his pace and at the same time gave Medel a wink, Medel smiled knowingly.
Trippier's decisive interception forced Baines to focus on how to get rid of Sheffield United's right back, and Drinkwater's return to defense forced Baines to stop advancing.
At this time, if Baines chooses to make a cross directly, relying on his footwork, he might actually get a corner kick for Everton.
But Baines was not willing to waste the opportunity like this. He looked at Cahill beside him and motioned the other party to come over and give him a support, to see if he could get another good opportunity.
But when Cahill rushed over and Baines passed the ball, Medel quickly jumped out from the side, quickly locked on the prey like a cheetah, and walked away with the football!
"Oops!"
Baines and Cahill shouted in their hearts almost at the same time.
After the offensive scheduling just now, almost all of Everton's midfielders are in Sheffield United's half, just like before they lost the second goal.
At that time, Matic directly found Li Mo with a long pass, and it can be said that he directly penetrated Everton's defense in just a few seconds.
But Medel also made a long pass!
Leighton Bynes immediately chose to counterattack on the spot, but it was too late. After Medel stopped the ball, he was very alert and did not choose a long pass, but quickly allocated the ball to the wide open Drinkwater, let Baines catch a blank.
Drinkwater only looked up after taking the ball, then kicked up decisively and passed the ball to the left, where Bertrand had already started to insert at high speed under the cover of Matt Ridge !
Seeing Drinkwater's pass choice, Li Mo also decisively gave up on continuing to pull the side, but ran to the middle, directly took away Neville Jr., and created a lot of room for Bertrand to advance .
Gibson, who returned to the defense, could only go to Li Mo for defense at the first time. Just like other teams, after being scored by Li Mo, the defensive players will look for Li Mo first when they face Sheffield United. .
Even though they knew that Vardy was a big threat, they still couldn't care less, and stopping Li Mo became their first choice.
Bertrand's advancing speed was very fast. Everton's right back Hibbert participated in the attack just now and hadn't returned to the defense. At this time, there was a large open area in front of Bertrand.
He is not in a hurry to pass the ball. When counterattacking, unless there is a good opportunity, generally the wide players have to at least bring the ball to the opponent's big penalty area.
Li Mo's choice of running positions helped Bertrand take away all the Everton midfielders who might intercept him. At this time, there are only two central defenders in Everton's penalty area, Distin and Jagielka.
Distin's speed was a bit slower, so he could only let Jagielka go out to intercept Bertrand. At the same time, he closely watched Li Mo's running, and beckoned his teammate Gibson to run back. , to see Vardy.
At this moment, Neville Jr. and Cahill were chasing Li Mo back. Jagielka attacked Bertrand, but Li Mo decisively raised his hand for the ball!
Even though there were defensive players in front of him and behind him, he still firmly let Bertrand pass the ball to him.
Seeing this, Bertrand crossed the ball towards Li Mo without hesitation.
But he couldn't do it if he didn't pass the ball at this time, because Jagielka was almost in front of him. After passing the ball, Bertrand and Jagielka also collided with each other. The two almost fell to the ground together, but the referee didn't Regardless of them, look directly at Li Mo who is running to the line of the big penalty area.
Distin jumped out and ran towards the football with Li Mo. He knew he couldn't outrun Li Mo, and Li Mo would still get the ball before him, but he didn't care, what he wanted was to force Li Mo to continue to take the ball Wing, lost this offensive opportunity.
Because at this moment Li Mo could no longer slow down and stop. Behind him, the two midfielders of Everton were approaching infinitely. Once they stopped, they would be double-teamed and lost the ball.
Even Gibson, who was looking at Vardy, rushed towards Li Mo at this moment.
Four defensive players!
Faced with such double-teaming, Li Mo calmly estimated the distance between the football and himself, and then he accelerated to touch the ball before Distin, but the way he touched the ball was not "conventional" at all.
I saw Li Mo took a step forward with his right foot, avoiding blocking the path of the football, and quickly knocked the passing football to the right with the heel of his left foot!
He didn't even think about stopping the ball!
So it doesn't matter how many players Everton have to defend him, so what about four?He doesn't take the ball, doesn't shoot, and has the ability to stop his pass!
Li Mo's heel pass also surprised Distin, but at this time he saw Gibson who gave up Vardy and also rushed over, and almost fainted from anger!
In this way, the football "killed" out of the tight encirclement, and jumped in front of Vardy.
Almost unguarded, Vardy faced Everton goalkeeper Howard and calmly pushed directly into the middle. Howard gambled towards the near corner, and the football hit Everton's net smoothly again!
"Oh my god! Li Mo's heel pass!!! It's Vardy again! Goal. The ball goes in!!! Howard is in the wrong direction! Sheffield United 3-0! Li Mo played with a heel pass Killed all the Everton defenders!"
"The Great Demon King seems to be planning to use another method to destroy the opponent today! Two wonderful passes, two assists, one shot and two passes, 3-0 at halftime, the massacre has just begun!"
This game is still a big chapter, otherwise it will be too fragmented, and I will continue with the small chapter tomorrow.
(End of this chapter)
In the No.30 round of the league battle, the form of the Premier League standings has once again undergone tremendous changes.
Apart from Arsenal's break into the top three and the strong announcement of Arsenal's return, Manchester City's performance is the most surprising.
It's not that they played too well, but that they played so that countless fans were surprised.
After Sheffield United defeated Manchester United in a make-up match, the points gap between Manchester City and Manchester United remained at one point.
In the next two rounds, Manchester City's opponents did not have a strong team. Against Stoke City and Sunderland, the two mid-lower teams, let alone others, Manchester City's own players are confident that they will win steadily.
But Manchester City did not win a game, two consecutive draws!
Even in the No.30 round, at their home court, Manchester City was directly beaten by the black cat Sunderland.
Had it not been for No. 805 minutes later, the consecutive goals of Balotelli and Kolarov tied the score at 3-3, and Manchester City would even usher in a "shameful" defeat.
From top to bottom, Manchester United seemed to be stunned by a surprise that fell from the sky.
Manchester City hadn't met a strong enemy yet, so they stretched their hips first, and the one-point gap became five points, and Manchester United's fault tolerance rate also greatly increased.
Ferguson almost wanted to pop champagne in the office to celebrate.
The initiative to win the championship is entirely on Manchester United's side. As long as they don't make too many mistakes, they will usher in another two consecutive league championships.
And in the next round of the league, Manchester City is about to challenge Arsenal, which is in hot form, away, and Manchester United will face Queens Park Rangers at home, which is currently fourth-to-last in the league.
This is another good opportunity for Manchester United to continue to widen the gap.
The match between Manchester City and Arsenal is also the focus of the No.30 second round of the Premier League. Countless fans have circled the day of April 4th, and they are waiting to see the battle between the attacking teams on that day.
At the same time, many fans also set their sights on April 4, which is the date when Sheffield United will face Everton at home.
After sacrificing another league game, whether Sheffield United will return strongly or continue to slump basically depends on the performance of this game.
And there is another thing that has attracted attention in English football recently.
Li Mo spent his 4th birthday on April 3rd.
The paparazzi photographed many "big shots" outside Li Mo's villa that day.
Needless to say, Mendes, the Sheffield United team and Speed, Alan Shearer, David Batty, Lineker, Michael Owen and Park Ji-sung also attended the party held by Li Mo.
These people were all invited by Mendes' team for Li Mo in advance. Li Mo himself didn't care about this kind of opportunity to get in touch with various people, but Mendes cared very much.
Among these people, there are big seniors in English football, and there are representatives of Asian football before. Making more friends will be of great benefit to Li Mo's subsequent career and network management.
Li Mo directly asked Mendez to make arrangements, but among the people invited, Li Mo was very familiar with it.
Alan Shearer is an old friend of Speed, and he has been to the Sheffield United Club to guide Li Mo several times before, and now Alan Shearer has said all kinds of good things for Li Mo on social media, Li Mo thinks It's hard not to like this senior.
Not to mention Park Ji-sung's words, now Li Mo meets this soon-to-retire "former Light of Asia" to drink tea from time to time, and the relationship between the two is quite good.
Even if the rest of the people didn't have much contact in private, they often turned into "Li Chui" during interviews, and Li Mo naturally entertained them wholeheartedly.
This time the party was not too big, and it was still held in Li Mo's small villa. Apart from the female companions of the invitees, there were basically no other members of the opposite sex.
In terms of food preparation, Mendes invited the best French and Italian chefs in Manchester to prepare the dinner three days in advance. He even found a professional and authentic restaurant in London to surprise Li Mo. The Chinese food chef presented Li Mo with a small table of authentic Sichuan cuisine that night.
This is indeed a big surprise for Li Mo. God knows how long it has been since he finished his special training last season and returned to England from China.
Mendes' arrangement received a big hug from Li Mo. After eating that night, it can be said that the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. French and Italian food can be regarded as meeting the appetite of everyone present. Anyway, as long as it is not English food, anything is easy to talk about.
Li Mo's 19th birthday was relatively low-key, but it was not simple under the arrangement of Mendes.
This party can be regarded as Sheffield United's last chance to relax before facing Everton. The next day, the Sheffield United players devoted themselves to training again.
The condition of the main players is getting better day by day, which also makes the Sheffield United coaching staff breathe a sigh of relief.
The two-week break can be regarded as the revival of these young men. As long as there is a proper rotation or two later, it should be no problem to play against the four strong teams.
In the final sprint stage of the league, whether Sheffield United can overwhelm Arsenal again depends on the performance of this group of main players, and seeing that the boys have no physical problems, Speed also greatly increased his confidence.
In the midst of active preparations, the time is slowly coming to April 4th. Today there will be six Premier League games kicking off at the same time. The match between Sheffield United and Everton is undoubtedly the focus of the day that attracts the most attention from fans. .
Li Mo's first game after his 19th birthday has made countless fans look forward to it. They all want to see if Li Mo can score his first Premier League goal after the age of 19 today, helping Sheffield United get off to a good start.
Moreover, Everton is currently ranked eighth in the league, and has overwhelmed Liverpool. The recent upward trend is also good, but it is not a weak team. Sheffield United's match against Everton can be regarded as a strong dialogue.
Among the ten games in this round, the degree of anticipation by fans is second only to tomorrow's battle between Manchester City and Arsenal. On the afternoon of April 4, a large number of media reporters also poured into the Bramall Lane Stadium.
In the past few rounds of the league, Sheffield United's performance can be described as "terrible", but the fans of Sheffield United still support the team 100%, and today's Bramall Lane Stadium is still full early , The reporters were amazed.
The players of Sheffield United have performed very well in the Premier League this season, and the fans of Sheffield United are no less.
Although the Bramall Lane Stadium can only accommodate a little over 3 people, which is far inferior to the home grounds of other Premier League giants, the home atmosphere created by Sheffield United fans is extremely hot.
In particular, the huge "Here is Sheffield" TIFO made Sheffield United's home court hailed by the media as another "devil's home court" in the Premier League.
"This stadium is a bit small, but everything else is okay. Sheffield's urban construction is also good, and it has the potential to become a big football market!"
"Anyway, it is one of the eight major cities. It must have market potential. Sheffield United performed so well this season. I think they will maintain this momentum for a year or two. I guess they have to expand the stadium, otherwise there will be many home fans. They can only stay at home to watch the game, and the club will definitely not let go of this ticket revenue."
"It's up to Li. If Li doesn't leave, Sheffield United can get a lot of sponsorship every year. If Li leaves, it is estimated that Sheffield United can only find a way to stay in the Premier League every season. Champions or something, yes Don't think about it."
The last reporter's speech hit the nail on the head. Regardless of how hot Sheffield United's football market is now, in the final analysis, Li Mo's existence has to account for most of the credit.
On the one hand, Li Mo is strong enough to prop up Sheffield United's offensive line with one goal after another, helping the team achieve excellent results.
On the other hand, Li Mo helped Sheffield United get sponsorship from the sponsor's father in Huaguo. Without the support of Huaguo's sponsors, Sheffield United would not be able to significantly increase the wages of the players this season, let alone in the winter window. Big hands have dropped Berbatov and Dembele.
So Li Mo is the "big thick leg" of Sheffield United. As long as Li Mo is there, the development of the Sheffield United Club can embark on a virtuous cycle. Without the guarantee, Sheffield United will have to relegation within a few years.
Therefore, if Sheffield United wants to really rise, the key is to see if they can keep Li Mo. In the football world, this kind of romantic story of one person, one city is becoming less and less.
The reporters at the scene didn't think that Li Mo would stay at Sheffield United until his retirement. For a young talent like Li Mo, going to Manchester United, Chelsea, Bayern, and Real Madrid is a reasonable choice. Why stay at Sheffield United? , Create a "Sheffield United miracle"?
Today, when Jinyuan football is so popular, this is almost impossible, unless.
Like Chelsea and Manchester City, Sheffield United was bought by local tyrants, and then spent a lot of money to sign in, buy one star after another, and spend money to win the championship.
But is that possible?
The reporters at the scene were all lost in thought.
But the warm-up players on both sides have already returned to the locker room, and the game is about to start. The cheers of the fans also interrupted the thinking of these reporters.
Both players returned to the locker room and started the final preparations. On Sheffield United's side, after Speed emphasized the last things to pay attention to, he also left time for Li Mo.
Li Mo tidied up his shin guards, and did not make long speeches to encourage the fighting spirit of his teammates.
Because after more than ten days of rest, while his teammates recovered their physical fitness, they also took a breath in their hearts!
Not only for themselves, but also for the members of the coaching staff who have been under pressure, and for Speed!
There is no need for Li Mo's mobilization. The Sheffield United players are suppressing their anger and can't wait to return to the game to prove to the outside world that Sheffield United is still the same Sheffield United!
What about the eighth Everton?Even if they play Manchester City again today, the Sheffield United players will do everything to win the game, and no one can stop them.
"Have you had enough rest, brothers?"
Li Mo asked with a smile, and his teammates were naturally eager to answer:
"I've had enough rest a long time ago! I have to fight Everton well today!"
"Hurry up, I can't help but kick the Everton guy's ass hard!"
"I have to score a few more goals, one or two is not enough to vent my depression."
Hearing this, Li Mo nodded in satisfaction, then forcefully opened the door of the locker room, and was the first to go out without saying a word.
What else needs to be mobilized today?
All Sheffield United players, including him, are like hungry wolves who have been holding back for a long time. Everton is the food in front of them. Does this situation still need to be mobilized?
To the end, without stopping, is the only thing the Sheffield United players have to do today. They will use a hearty victory to announce their return!
When the players of the two teams walked out of the player tunnel together, the Bramall Lane stadium immediately boiled up. The team anthem of Sheffield United began to sound above the stadium. The chorus of 3 people gave the Sheffield United players the best Powerful spiritual encouragement!
At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, after a simple opening ceremony, Li Mo kicked the ball to Vardy beside him at the kick-off point in the middle circle, and the game officially started!
Everton today played a four-three-three partial offensive formation. Facing Sheffield United's four midfielders, Everton wisely chose to retreat conservatively first. It seems that they intend to survive Sheffield United. The first wave of attack, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
However, after Sheffield United pressed forward collectively, it only took two or three minutes of testing, and then directly launched an offensive rhythm like a storm, overwhelming Everton's midfield players almost out of breath!
Matt Ridge, who was almost on the left, made a pass from the bottom and was ejected by Everton's central defender. Drinkwater, who took a penalty from the outside, followed up with a through ball. The shot tested American goalkeeper Howard's reaction nerves again!
This kind of offense is almost wave after wave, leaving Everton's players on the field with no extra time to think about how to break the game, and directly fell into the embarrassing situation of passive defense.
"Sheffield United's state is back! According to this offensive, Everton will not be tragic today, right?"
A reporter excitedly said on the sidelines that they don't care whether Everton can withstand the attack of Sheffield United. If Sheffield United can play a carnage-like performance today, then they will have more material to write about. .
After all, audiences like to watch such "dramas". Who wouldn't like The Return of the King?
While the reporters were thinking about how to write a press release, Medel fiercely cut off Everton midfielder Gibson's dribbling, and also strangled Everton's chance to counterattack.
The rest of the Sheffield United players pressed forward again at the first time, and Medel did not procrastinate, and put a straight kick in front of Trippier who was going forward. The young Trippier directly ate Everton's ball with his speed. Right back Hibbert.
At the moment of his bottom pass, Vardy suddenly ran forward and disrupted Everton's penalty area, and then Li Mo, who was pointing behind, took the opportunity to run to the middle of the penalty area. An incomparably domineering momentum pushed the ball into Everton's goal fiercely!
Howard wanted to pounce, but the ball almost brushed against the crossbar in the middle of the goal and quickly bounced into the goal. Howard was too late to take off, so he could only wave his hand in vain.
Only 9 minutes after the opening, the Sheffield United fans at the scene witnessed the moment when Li Mo scored the goal before their buttocks were hot. They jumped up from their seats in an instant, cheering and celebrating in surprise!
Li Mo put his hands behind his ears, and before he finished the celebration, he was thrown to the ground by his teammates behind him. They surrounded Li Mo excitedly, and started celebrating right near the bottom line!
"Trippier is about to hit the bottom! Li Mo's header! The goal has been scored!!! It's been almost two weeks, and the boys from Sheffield United gave Everton a hard blow as soon as they came up! Li Mo ! The first Premier League goal after the age of 19 came so quickly! This header is so beautiful! It seems that today, Everton's defense has to withstand a huge test!"
"Hey! It's less than 10 minutes into the opening! This is it! Xiao Li's state is too fast today, okay! Wear a hat and treat it as a birthday present for yourself!"
Zhang Lu happily started talking nonsense, but he scored in less than 10 minutes of the opening. Li Mo's state looks really good today, and it is possible to perform a hat trick. It depends on Everton's defensive adjustment. up.
At this moment on the field, Li Mo got up from the ground with great difficulty. He wanted to celebrate after scoring a goal, but he was thrown down by these animals. Fortunately, he had short hair. If he had long hair , Maybe it will become a chicken coop now.
However, he was in the same mood as his teammates at the moment, very excited, but after calming down a little, Li Mo beckoned his teammates to hurry back to their own half.
How is one enough?Must score a few more goals today!
Although I am a little sorry for Everton, who made them hit the gun?The main players of Sheffield United who urgently need to vent will not stop, unless Everton disarms and surrenders, otherwise this crazy attack will continue!
Speed also sat back on the coaching bench after celebrating with the assistant coach. There was no need to adjust any tactics. Just play with Everton, even if you lose the ball, but today's main tactic is to attack. One, then just add two more, no big deal.
Although he said that he has trained Sheffield United to be the strongest defensive team in the Premier League, he has not failed in the offense. He still pays great attention to the team's offensive quality, and with Li Mo in the frontcourt, Sheffield United If the firepower is fully fired, at least it can be ranked in the top five of the Premier League. Let go of the game today, just to test the quality of the team's offense.
The Everton players were a little angry. Li Mo's call to his teammates to return to the halftime was obviously not satisfied with this goal. Isn't this just looking down on Everton's defense?
With the idea of teaching Sheffield United a lesson, the Everton players also kicked off again soon.
"Huh? They still dare to attack?"
Drinkwater was still thinking about how to lure Everton's midfielders to press forward, so as to find more opportunities for counterattacks, but he did not expect that Everton's players would attack by themselves, and they were all on top. kind.
This made the Sheffield United players overjoyed.
Li Mo even gave the Everton players a thumbs up in his heart.
Fucking brother, this is it!
Fearing that Sheffield United's offense was not smooth enough and there were not enough opportunities, Everton's players chose to take the initiative to attack. This kind of behavior simply moved the Sheffield United players on the field.
However, in order to encourage Everton's midfielders to continue to implement such aggressive playing strategies, Sheffield United's midfielders, under the "intimate" guidance of Drinkwater, also deliberately retreated to leave enough space for them to play. Everton's brother is more convenient to plug in the attack.
So in the eyes of the Everton players, they have gradually gained the initiative on the field. At least the ball can pass through the midfield smoothly and start attacking in Sheffield United's half.
Although it is not a threat to Sheffield United's goal for the time being, at least there are a lot of offensive opportunities. If we continue to play like this, I will have the advantage!
In the No.203 minute of the first half, Everton had another offensive round, Tim Cahill dribbled the ball and advanced on the wing.
At this time, Everton's midfielders were almost all in Sheffield United's half. Even Neville Jr., who played as a midfielder in this game, was standing on the center line at the moment, ready to transfer the ball to his teammates at any time.
Such a position is very dangerous when facing Sheffield United, but the Everton players want to equalize the score as soon as possible at this moment, and take a good blow to the arrogance of Sheffield United. Followed into the Sheffield United half.
Seeing that Cahill's dribbling continued to deepen, Matic naturally would not give him a chance, and called Bertrand to grab it.
Therefore, after Cahill got rid of Bertrand, he faced Matic's decisive shovel directly.
"rush!"
After winning the ball, Matic dribbled the ball forward and yelled at the same time!
From left to right, Sheffield United's players rushed back to Everton's half in an instant!
It was also almost at the moment when Li Mo surpassed Everton's forward-pressing central defender, Matic's ecstatic long pass went straight towards him.
"Strong goal! Not offside! Li Mo rushed out against Everton's back line, Everton failed to get offside! Sheffield United's counterattack is coming!!!"
Li Mo, who was sprinting at full speed, was almost unstoppable, but Matic's pass was biased to the side. After Li Mo got the ball, he could only continue to run wildly in the side area of Everton. For a while, Everton Dayton's defenders all ran towards Li Mo.
This is completely a contest of speed. Everton players can only force Li Mo to the side as much as possible and prevent him from cutting inside when they are unable to defend closely. However, Li Mo keeps running watching.
He has now attracted a large number of Everton's defensive forces, and Everton's lagging player has only one Distin. At this moment, there is almost no defensive player around Everton's big penalty area!
Li Mo had an intuition welling up in his heart. Although he still couldn't see any Sheffield United players in his line of sight, he had a strong premonition.
Shift to the left in a wide range, Vardy will not let him down!
Thinking of this, Li Mo reassessed Distin's position, but after another ball kick, he suddenly made a large-scale transfer to the earth!
The football quickly ran to the left side of the field from his right half area against the turf!
Distin wanted to stretch out his foot to intercept at the first time, but the football completely bypassed his toes and quickly swept to the back point. Howard gritted his teeth and attacked directly.
But when the football was approaching Howard, it quickly rolled out of the penalty area and turned a slight arc. This arc was fatal at this moment. Howard, who was halfway through the attack, was dumbfounded!
Vardy chased the football desperately, and when he saw the football rolling towards him "obediently", Vardy was overjoyed.
At this moment, Howard was in the middle of the attack, and was retreating in a panic. Vardy measured his pace and pushed the football decisively and confidently to the far corner of the goal. Howard fell to the ground and tried to intercept, but nothing happened. He could only be desperate Looking back, I watched the football roll into the net of the goal.
"Oh!!! Li Mo's beautiful cut to the ground! Distin missed it! Vardy was running, Howard didn't reach the football?! The football turned, and Vardy pushed! The goal went in!!! Li Mo's pass is so ecstasy! Are you sure it's not a ground cut from a wide player???"
Zhan Jun's commentary was full of disbelief.
The pass skimmed the trailing Distin, turned in quickly as it approached Howard, and rolled towards Vardy as if turning a corner. Such a beautiful cut to the ground is almost like art. !
The Sheffield United fans at the scene also celebrated wildly. Only 20 minutes into the game, the team went down to two cities in a row, and Li Mo even sent out such an ecstasy assist!
Pass shot, within half an hour, Li Mo presented a pass shot performance, which excited the reporters at the scene.
Li Mo is going to explode today!
Faced with such a result, the Everton players on the field had a hard time accepting it. They all looked at Li Mo. It was hard to believe that such a pass came from Li Mo's feet.
It's a foul!Whose main scorer can pass the ball on the wing like this!
Li Mo laughed and ran towards Vardy.
To be honest, he had a gamble, but the result was good, and that was enough.
In less than half an hour, Li Mo passed the shot and made a contribution. His goals and assists GIFs quickly spread on the Internet and were quickly forwarded by countless fans.
The commentator of Sky Sports even used five "beautiful" in a row to marvel at Li Mo's pass!
The special guest bluntly said that this ball reminded him of Ronaldo and Beckham a few years ago.
Goals, wonderful long pass assists, Li Mo surprised the audience twice in just over 20 minutes, and there are almost 10 minutes left in the game, which made the fans guess. Today Li Mo What kind of performance will it play?
And at the moment on the court, Vardy pointed his finger at Li Mo, his face almost turned into a flower with a smile!
The cake was literally broken into pieces and fed directly into his mouth.
Almost all of them were pushing the empty door. It couldn't be easier for him to hit such a door!
"A few more passes like this, my dear Lee~"
Hearing Vardy's nasty speech, Li Mo quickly let go of his hugging hand, and pushed his head away with his hands in disgust.
The other Sheffield United players also ran over to celebrate with the two of them, all grinning.
"Are you peeking at David Beckham's video again?"
After Drinkwater, Li Mo and Vardy clapped their hands to celebrate, they looked at Li Mo curiously.
Li Mo likes to watch the game videos of former players to learn. Now the whole team knows it. Before learning Kaka's dribbling and attacking, and Berbatov's dribbling, Li Mo still learned it decently. In the end, they were all used on the court, so Drinkwater seriously suspected that Li Mo must be stealing Beckham's pass again.
Li Mo touched his nose, smiled and didn't deny it. He couldn't say that he was deluded. Such a pass is completely rare. It was hard to pretend to be forceful. Naturally, he couldn't admit it so quickly. up.
"Fuck! God is so unfair."
Medel looked at Li Mo enviously. What kind of talent is this? He can learn everything quickly. It may take several seasons for someone to learn a trick. Li Mo has learned several practical skills in less than one season. People are really more popular than people!
Everyone "ravaged" Li Mo again, and then let him go.
With this goal, no matter how dull Everton's players are, they must know that Sheffield United was deliberately luring them to attack.
But for the players of Sheffield United, even if Everton is prepared, it doesn't matter anymore. With the two-goal advantage in hand, Everton can squeeze as much as they want?
At this point in the game, Sheffield United will continue to attack. At most, it will take a little effort. If Everton wants to equalize the score, they will have to attack, unless they recognize the score and choose to defend to avoid conceding too many goals , then the Sheffield United players have nothing to say.
But this is almost impossible. After all, there are nearly 10 minutes left in the game. If Everton dares to defend now, their fans will be the first to stand up and question the team's decision.
Everton is not a small team, it can be regarded as one of the powerhouses of the Premier League, and they also have to pay attention to face. If they lose two goals and surrender, it will be a huge blow to the image of the club and the team, so no matter what However, the game still has to be played, and Everton's players will inevitably choose to continue attacking.
After the game restarted, Everton's players were much more cautious after the blow just now, but Sheffield United was not in a hurry, as if you wanted to attack as much as you want.
The two teams played back and forth for about ten minutes, but in the end it was Everton who couldn't help it.
Sheffield United lead by two goals, so they can afford it, but they can't afford it. If they can't win one goal in the first half, the pressure to win two goals in the second half will be too much!
So the Everton players still had to choose to launch an offense. Although the forward pressure was much smaller, it still gave Sheffield United an opportunity.
After all, if you attack, it can't just be the frontcourt players participating in the attack, right?
There must be at least two people in the midfield, and the two full-backs must be pressed and ready to pass at any time, right?
So no matter how cautious Everton is, their midfield and defense on both sides will be empty due to the choice of attack.
Li Mo and Vardy are also very smart in the rib area of Everton. They look harmless to humans and animals, but as long as there is a chance to counterattack, they can pull the side at the first time to attract Everton away. Dayton's defensive personnel, so that the teammates behind him can easily obtain a large space for advancement.
Originally, Sheffield United planned to attack the entire game in this game, but they couldn't hold back Everton's players to give them a chance. Since Everton's players can't stand up and fight against counterattacks, then Sheffield United will be able to defend. Perfect them, let them attack casually.
The game time is approaching No. 40 minutes in the first half, and Everton's offensive options have also become rough.
The more anxious they are, the more calm the Sheffield United midfielders, especially Drinkwater, will be.
After being taught by Speed's precepts and deeds, Brother Drinking Water has become more and more fond of observing the situation on the field after retracing his position. His ability to read the game is also visible to the naked eye. It is much better than when he first came to Sheffield United.
Seeing that Everton's players struggled to find an offensive point, Drinkwater planned to help them and directed Medel to start to grab.
Medel did not question the decision of his own core, and attacked decisively. Gibson was overjoyed when he saw this, and after collaborating with Cahill to hit the wall, he finally sent the ball to the forward Baynes.
Leighton Bynes can be regarded as one of the thighs in Everton's offensive system. This Toffee's magic wing technique on the left is quite good. After breaking into the hinterland of Sheffield United, he quickly drove The rest of Everton's players moved forward decisively.
As the player who created the most opportunities for the Toffees, Baines is Everton's left-sided engine. His cross can not only create opportunities for the Everton striker in the Sheffield United penalty area, but also allow the back to plug in. Cahill is quite a threat.
After all, Cahill's header ability is also well-known. Cahill's favorite is the cross sent to him by Baines. At this moment, all the offensive players in Everton's frontcourt are watching Baines's choice. This can be regarded as a rare opportunity for Everton to attack in the first half.
Seeing that Everton's players were mobilized, Drinkwater quickened his pace and at the same time gave Medel a wink, Medel smiled knowingly.
Trippier's decisive interception forced Baines to focus on how to get rid of Sheffield United's right back, and Drinkwater's return to defense forced Baines to stop advancing.
At this time, if Baines chooses to make a cross directly, relying on his footwork, he might actually get a corner kick for Everton.
But Baines was not willing to waste the opportunity like this. He looked at Cahill beside him and motioned the other party to come over and give him a support, to see if he could get another good opportunity.
But when Cahill rushed over and Baines passed the ball, Medel quickly jumped out from the side, quickly locked on the prey like a cheetah, and walked away with the football!
"Oops!"
Baines and Cahill shouted in their hearts almost at the same time.
After the offensive scheduling just now, almost all of Everton's midfielders are in Sheffield United's half, just like before they lost the second goal.
At that time, Matic directly found Li Mo with a long pass, and it can be said that he directly penetrated Everton's defense in just a few seconds.
But Medel also made a long pass!
Leighton Bynes immediately chose to counterattack on the spot, but it was too late. After Medel stopped the ball, he was very alert and did not choose a long pass, but quickly allocated the ball to the wide open Drinkwater, let Baines catch a blank.
Drinkwater only looked up after taking the ball, then kicked up decisively and passed the ball to the left, where Bertrand had already started to insert at high speed under the cover of Matt Ridge !
Seeing Drinkwater's pass choice, Li Mo also decisively gave up on continuing to pull the side, but ran to the middle, directly took away Neville Jr., and created a lot of room for Bertrand to advance .
Gibson, who returned to the defense, could only go to Li Mo for defense at the first time. Just like other teams, after being scored by Li Mo, the defensive players will look for Li Mo first when they face Sheffield United. .
Even though they knew that Vardy was a big threat, they still couldn't care less, and stopping Li Mo became their first choice.
Bertrand's advancing speed was very fast. Everton's right back Hibbert participated in the attack just now and hadn't returned to the defense. At this time, there was a large open area in front of Bertrand.
He is not in a hurry to pass the ball. When counterattacking, unless there is a good opportunity, generally the wide players have to at least bring the ball to the opponent's big penalty area.
Li Mo's choice of running positions helped Bertrand take away all the Everton midfielders who might intercept him. At this time, there are only two central defenders in Everton's penalty area, Distin and Jagielka.
Distin's speed was a bit slower, so he could only let Jagielka go out to intercept Bertrand. At the same time, he closely watched Li Mo's running, and beckoned his teammate Gibson to run back. , to see Vardy.
At this moment, Neville Jr. and Cahill were chasing Li Mo back. Jagielka attacked Bertrand, but Li Mo decisively raised his hand for the ball!
Even though there were defensive players in front of him and behind him, he still firmly let Bertrand pass the ball to him.
Seeing this, Bertrand crossed the ball towards Li Mo without hesitation.
But he couldn't do it if he didn't pass the ball at this time, because Jagielka was almost in front of him. After passing the ball, Bertrand and Jagielka also collided with each other. The two almost fell to the ground together, but the referee didn't Regardless of them, look directly at Li Mo who is running to the line of the big penalty area.
Distin jumped out and ran towards the football with Li Mo. He knew he couldn't outrun Li Mo, and Li Mo would still get the ball before him, but he didn't care, what he wanted was to force Li Mo to continue to take the ball Wing, lost this offensive opportunity.
Because at this moment Li Mo could no longer slow down and stop. Behind him, the two midfielders of Everton were approaching infinitely. Once they stopped, they would be double-teamed and lost the ball.
Even Gibson, who was looking at Vardy, rushed towards Li Mo at this moment.
Four defensive players!
Faced with such double-teaming, Li Mo calmly estimated the distance between the football and himself, and then he accelerated to touch the ball before Distin, but the way he touched the ball was not "conventional" at all.
I saw Li Mo took a step forward with his right foot, avoiding blocking the path of the football, and quickly knocked the passing football to the right with the heel of his left foot!
He didn't even think about stopping the ball!
So it doesn't matter how many players Everton have to defend him, so what about four?He doesn't take the ball, doesn't shoot, and has the ability to stop his pass!
Li Mo's heel pass also surprised Distin, but at this time he saw Gibson who gave up Vardy and also rushed over, and almost fainted from anger!
In this way, the football "killed" out of the tight encirclement, and jumped in front of Vardy.
Almost unguarded, Vardy faced Everton goalkeeper Howard and calmly pushed directly into the middle. Howard gambled towards the near corner, and the football hit Everton's net smoothly again!
"Oh my god! Li Mo's heel pass!!! It's Vardy again! Goal. The ball goes in!!! Howard is in the wrong direction! Sheffield United 3-0! Li Mo played with a heel pass Killed all the Everton defenders!"
"The Great Demon King seems to be planning to use another method to destroy the opponent today! Two wonderful passes, two assists, one shot and two passes, 3-0 at halftime, the massacre has just begun!"
This game is still a big chapter, otherwise it will be too fragmented, and I will continue with the small chapter tomorrow.
