opening a balotelli

Chapter 254

There is actually nothing wrong with the path Swansea wants to take, and Laudrup is not a dreamer.

But their current situation will be very afraid of some specific teams, and Sheffield United happens to belong to one of these specific teams.

Pressing and pressing on the defensive end, did not give Swansea the space to connect and organize, and stared at Michu who was going forward.

On the offensive end, relying on the advantage of the wing, it constantly pulled the distance between Swansea's midfielder and the two central midfielders, tearing holes in Swansea's rib area.

Then use the space in the rib area to send a threatening pass, coupled with Li Mo's top advantage, the goal is as simple as that.

What are technical teams most afraid of?
Rush from the side, block the center, and hit the header.

This sentence is actually a bit too arbitrary, but it is perfect for Swansea at the moment.

What their weak right wing fears most is the continuous pressure of strong wingers.

Want to play with the technological edge?
Sheffield United just played the advantage of the number of midfielders today, and the five midfielders will accompany you to play the man's strangulation battle, which will make you dizzy.

Finally, it is in the intuitive comparison.

Li Mo and Ashley Williams and Flores contest.

There is one thing to say about this, and it is true that Laudrup cannot be blamed for his lack of preparation.

After all, not every team will be equipped with a strong central defender.

This type of central defender is not much needed to take the path of technical flow.

It can only be said that they were unlucky. They met Li Mo, a center forward who is becoming less and less in modern football. Today, they are in an early state.

In the past, when Vieri was raging in La Liga and Drogba showed his prestige in the Premier League, many teams had to buy big central defenders who could limit their performance.

Or a stronger defensive midfielder is fine, for fighting, to help the central defender interfere more with this type of center forward's holding the ball or advancing forward.

But Swansea has neither a strong central defender nor an excellent defensive midfielder.

With their current configuration, they can rely on technical cooperation, score more goals in the frontcourt, and have a tacit understanding in the backcourt, which can make up for certain deficiencies in the defensive system.

But before they get used to it, being targeted by other teams is the current three-game losing streak.

When encountering a team like Sheffield United that beat them, it will naturally look even uglier on the scene.

Moreover, Li Mo and Speer were very clear-headed. After celebrating the goal, the master and apprentice were one off the field and the other on the field. They both reminded the other Sheffield United players to continue to maintain the previous tactics.

Take it easy, even if you know that today's Swansea is just a dish, you have to be steady and abuse.

After this game, everyone will go back to the national team to fight. If the car overturns at this time, it will really affect the mood.

Li Mo and Drinkwater one after the other, told the teammates around them to keep their heads clear.

So when Swansea kicked off again, they were still facing Sheffield United's iron barrel midfield.

Michu is the most anxious at this time.

He also has some regrets.

When he was playing in Spain, he would play wherever the head coach asked him to play.

There was a season when he played almost all positions in the frontcourt.

This is good. For this reason, Mi Chu has the characteristics of a versatile frontcourt. He can play from center forward to central midfielder and even wide midfielder.

But without the accumulation of experience and continuous sharpening in a fixed position, his former aura and talent were wasted and wasted one game after another.

If he had asked to play in the midfielder or midfielder position back then, he would not have been targeted and would have been invisible now.

Even if the serious frontcourt core is marked, the ability to capture opportunities is still online.

Ke Michu is a tall core who is neither a center nor a midfielder.

He is good in any position, but if you let him go directly to the center, he can't be a fulcrum. If you let him be in the midfield, he can only shoot forward and shoot the most threat.

Let him organize, he can do this job, but if you want him to break through the ball or send a threatening pass, it will be difficult for him.

Dembele and Matic were gearing up for the anxious Michu.

Continue to fight, continue to grab, continue to press the defense.

Under Sheffield United's increasingly suffocating defensive rhythm, it was difficult for Swansea's players to find a direction to attack.

Coupled with the previous three-game losing streak, this is undoubtedly a major blow to their confidence.

Look at Li Mo, who is still active near his penalty area, constantly raising his hands to ask for the ball, and think about that overbearing header just now.

Well, the confidence has dropped a little bit.

Drinkwater looked a little anxious.

Attack, you are pressing out to attack.

Give you a chance and you are useless!
I wanted to be honest and fight for a while, but now that Swansea is timid, Sheffield United can't fight back.

Then if you can't fight back, just fight positional warfare normally.

Looking at Swansea's state today, with Dembele and Matic staring at Michu behind them, they shouldn't be able to make any threatening attacks.

Drinkwater thought about it, and finally decided to take over the control of the midfield, otherwise it would be too stable.

If you can score again in the first half, it will not be too late to continue to stabilize in the second half, and you will be able to control the field more after 2-0.

Thinking of this, Brother Drinkwater just did what he said, and stopped Medel who wanted to transfer the ball directly to the left. After receiving the ball, Drinkwater held the ball and directed his teammates to press forward a little.

Seeing this, Li Mo increased his running speed in the frontcourt.

Faced with the sudden change of Sheffield United, the Swansea players were nervous at first, and then they seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

Sheffield has connected the control of the midfield, so they don't have to face the troublesome iron barrel defense all the time. At least there will be some opportunities for counterattacks later, right?

Of course, the premise is that they don't lose the ball before playing their own offensive rhythm.

If they lose the ball again, and Sheffield United adopts this five-middle defensive formation again, if they fight hard to defend against counterattacks, then it will be really hopeless.

Speed ​​watched Drinkwater's tactical adjustment on the coach's bench, thought about it, and planned to watch it first.

He gave Brother Drinking Water the power to adjust tactics. After all, he has been training him for almost two years, and Speed ​​is more at ease about Brother Drinking Water's ability to read games.

Sometimes players can quickly capture the opponent's tactical information on the field, and they may also see the opponent's tactical flaws first. If changes are made based on this situation, then Speed ​​thinks there is nothing wrong with it.

He is not a stubborn old man. Last season, he dared to let the 17-year-old Li Mo play the core of tactics to surpass him. In comparison, delegating power to his own midfield core is nothing at all.

"Sheffield United seems to be speeding up! Drinkwater is organizing his teammates to press forward. I don't know if Swansea can withstand it."

Zhan Jun touched his nose. Based on the professional ethics of commentators, he is generally not easy to show his inclination towards Sheffield United.

But at the moment, in his heart, Zhan Jun, like most of the fans watching the game, marked Swansea as "dangerous".

Sheffield United didn't invest much force in the offensive end before. Relying on Dembele's brilliant pass, Li Mo overwhelmed Flores and scored like a father hitting his son.

This will push Sheffield United as a whole, and Swansea will not be facing Dembele.

Bell on the left, Dembele and Drinkwater in front of the penalty area, plus Medel with a violent long shot from outside the penalty area.

Looking at it horizontally and vertically, Swansea is hard to beat.

Zhang Lu heheed twice, but didn't speak.

All that needs to be said above has been said. The coaching staff of Sheffield United have already studied Swansea thoroughly before the game. This game can be said to be straightforward.

If you play steadily, you will slowly consolidate your victory. If you play directly forward and press down, the Swansea players will realize the strength gap between the two sides earlier, unless Sheffield United's double midfielders and the entire defense collectively lose their minds Swansea really have no chance.

At this time, Sommer was also standing in front of the restricted area, with his hands behind his back in boredom, looking like a veteran cadre in a daze.

If it is left a few years later, affected by the innovation of tactics and a certain German goalkeeper, Sommer will almost rush out of his own defensive third zone and run a little behind the middle circle to watch a show. How can he stand on the line of the big penalty area? forward.

Conservative, or too conservative.

The situation on the field began to tilt sharply towards Sheffield United. The two full-backs of Sheffield United were positioned near the center line.

Dembele was greatly liberated, and his possession advantage was fully revealed.

Now in terms of ball possession and small skills in the team, Dembele is definitely the strongest one.

This will be in the frontcourt, and Dembele is relying on dribbling and his own physical advantages to bully Swansea's right-half defenders and constantly look for opportunities.

Yes, bullying can be used to describe his performance.

The speed is not fast, but it is stable. Swansea's midfielder Britton and right midfielder Ki Sung-yong can't grab the ball at Dembele's feet.

Amidst the cheering whistles of the Sheffield United fans at the scene, Dembele acted like an enlarged version of Ronaldinho, wreaking havoc in Swansea's frontcourt.

Seeing this, Drinkwater decisively chose to give more of the ball to Dembele, who was playing well.

Anyway, Dembele's vision and passing ability are also very good. Drinkwater supports the control of the field at a later position, and Dembele is used as the starting point of the attack in front, which is threatening and safe.

Li Mo is also happy that someone can tear open the hole in the local space to gain an advantage.

When Dembele didn't come last season, he basically did this kind of work. Now with Dembele, plus Bell and Joaquin in the frontcourt, he shouldn't be too comfortable eating cakes in front.

Laudrup looked at Dembele, who kept pulling the defense and scored the ball perfectly after breaking through, and he was very envious in his heart.

Now the Swansea team is short of such a player, not to mention Dembele, but if there is a player with Dembele's six-success power, Michu can also get more offensive space.

And in the face of being suppressed at this time, Laudrup the Great is also very single, so he really has nothing to do.

Swansea had just been promoted to the Premier League, and he was already thankful that he could win Michu in Xia Chuang. How can there be so much transfer fee to transform the team successfully in one go.

If he had the right players, he would dare to make a bold change, but now what?
Make do with it.

There is no shame in losing to Sheffield United.

Anyway, the club management has only one requirement for him this season: relegation is enough.

So he doesn't have too much pressure on performance. As long as the team is well-tuned, he believes that it will be no problem to win most of the lower-level teams in the Premier League in the following games.

It's just that it's hard for the players on the field now, and being beaten by Sheffield United like this, don't have any mentality problems.

Laudrup's worries are mainly on the players.

However, the Swansea players are also aware of the strength of Sheffield United.

You said that if you want to play back and forth, then you may not be reconciled to losing, but you have been led by the opponent and beaten in the half court, no matter how dull you are, you can feel the huge gap between the two teams up.

It's normal to be out of balance, but it's much worse. In fact, the players on the weak side let go.

The premise is not to be involved in a tragedy, which may still cause a mental explosion.

As for looking for opportunities to fight back, Mi Chu no longer has such thoughts.

Except for Routledge who is still standing near the center circle, the other players on Swansea's side have to retreat to help defend.

Britten and Ki Sung-yong in the backcourt complained that they couldn't withstand the impact of Dembele, and Ashley Williams and Flores were even more nervous when they saw Li Mo.

In addition to stacking people to defend, the players on Swansea have no other way.

But the game reached No. 305 minutes in the first half, and the second goal still came.

Give Dembele a chance and he can really penetrate weak teams.

No.304 minutes, Li Mo made a ball for Dembele in the penalty area, and then Dembele went directly from the Swansea penalty area. Walked off Ashley Williams' marking.

After Li Mo received Dembele's timely split, he also had an idea. The moment he touched the ball, he pulled the ball behind his back, stuck Flores and completed the turn!

Stopping and turning around, this set of operations is extremely coquettish.

A central defender was taken away, a central defender was passed by Li Mo, and Swansea's goalkeeper Worm went numb directly.

Facing Li Mo's close-range shot, Worm opened his arms very tragically and rushed out, but Li Mo's calm push shot sent the football into the net at the far corner of the goal.

The reporters on the sidelines watched this scene without much emotion and excitement in their hearts.

Li Mo's abuse of food.
got used to.

The shooting in the penalty area is still terribly stable. Up to now, Li Mo has scored two goals with three shots from four feet. Swansea can take the lead in this state.

After the goal, Li Mo also hugged and celebrated with his teammates near the bottom line with a smile.

This is the No.11 goal he scored in the league!
With [-] goals and [-] assists in seven games, Li Mo still maintained the momentum of averaging more than two goals per game!

"Xiao Li is in great shape! Hey, it's time for the world preliminaries, good, good!"

Zhang Lu raised his mouth, and Zhan Jun also laughed.

Huaguo fans will never forget that on October 10th, they are about to sit at home and usher in another key game of the Top Ten.

The Japanese team has already played it, and it’s fun to watch. Playing Australia, you can’t "play favoritism"~
"Come on, Li Mo!"
