Chapter 115 We take another step towards the goal of relegation

Compared with the first goal of the game scored by Li Mo assisting Vardy, the celebration time for this goal was much shorter.

The teammates waited for Li Mo to jump off the billboard, then gathered around to celebrate with Li Mo and congratulate him.

For several Sheffield United players who were in the team last season, they have become accustomed to Li Mo's performance.

For other centers, it is already very good if they can do one or two tasks well, such as grabbing shots, heading the ball, or being a tactical fulcrum to open up space for teammates.

But in Li Mo's case, the Sheffield United players who played alongside him last season have become accustomed to his "all-roundness" and terrifying growth.

There are only a few new players, and they are still immersed in incredible emotions.

This is the Premier League. Contributing passes and shots in consecutive games is something that only star players can do!

Even in the pre-game training in the summer, they already knew Li Mo's strength and were convinced, but being able to perform so well in the game still made them feel "dreamy".

"It's so strong, brother, but can you take more care of me next time? Kieran has already given you assists in consecutive games, God! Two assists! Is it because I didn't pass the ball to you enough?

Bian also needs assist data~"

Bertrand's joke made everyone laugh.

Because of the team's overall tactics, Bertrand is required to provide more defense for Matt Ritchie, so he has had relatively few opportunities to advance forward so far.

On the other side, Trippier is because of Medel's strong defensive ability and can penetrate forward many times to get the ball, so he can naturally pass more passes to Li Mo.

But Bertrand didn't say it, it was okay. Once he said it, everyone reacted. Li Mo scored in consecutive games, and Trippier also scored assists in consecutive games!

Matthew Lowton, who has a lively temperament, also interjected at this moment: "When I played on the right wing last season, I was the one who provided the most assists to Li. Otherwise, I would also apply to the coach to play back on the right wing, even if I am a base player.

Lan's substitute can at least get a few more opportunities to pass the ball to Li. With his shooting skills, he has at least four or five assists in a season, and there are also a lot of assist bonuses!"

Everyone burst into laughter. Maguire, who was now partnering with Matthew Lowton, clamped his neck and asked him to "consider it again." Li Mo also smiled and waved his hands.

After being "ravaged" by his teammates, Trippier chuckled and walked back with Li Mo chatting.

It is true that he benefited from the team's tactics and had more opportunities to get the ball and press forward, but no matter how good he passed the ball, there was nothing he could do if the shooter couldn't kick it in, so he was determined to get Li Mo's thigh!

For every full-back, a center like Li Mo is their "dream forward". He can pass the ball well and he can shoot steadily. Sometimes he can't pass the ball well and he can even take the cake. Just one

Word, strong!

With a relaxed mood, the Sheffield United players played more confidently after the restart.

Stoke City's offensive is still there, but the spirit is gone. Even if they get a set piece again, Sheffield United can always push the ball out of the dangerous area as soon as possible.

Speed ​​was sure of victory, and he was very satisfied when he saw that his disciples were still not arrogant or impetuous on the court.

This is what young players are good at: they are obedient and easy to manage, and Li Mo, who takes the lead, has a leadership temperament. Unlike Maguire, who is sometimes quiet, Li Mo has a sense of responsibility on the court and always reminds his teammates to stay focused, which makes him very

It's worry-free.

After Chris Morgan came on the bench this season, the captain's armband was handed over to Montgomery, but Speed ​​is already deliberately cultivating Li Mo to be the team's first captain.

When Matic grows up later and can replace Montgomery in the starting lineup, Li Mo will be the first captain on the field. Several old players have no objection to this.

Being able to return to the Premier League at the end of his career was indispensable to the young players Li Mo and Maguire. Moreover, Li Mo's strength and responsibility convinced them, and naturally they all cooperated with Speed's arrangements.

Thinking of Matic at this moment, Speed ​​couldn't help but look at the bench.

Since the beginning of summer training, the coaching staff has been formulating a plan to transform Matic.

Originally, I wanted to completely transform Matic into a beast-like waist, and his physical condition and positional sense are indeed very suitable.

But after observing for a while, Speed ​​believed that Matic's skills and awareness can actually bring great help to the team on the offensive end.

Simply being a defensive midfielder would be a waste of his talent. However, at this stage, defense must be the first part that Matic needs to strengthen and improve. As for offense, wait until his defense is stable before adding more burdens to him.

Today's game has almost reached garbage time, with only about the last ten minutes left, Speed ​​thought twice and let Matic get up to warm up.

Matic was naturally pleasantly surprised. He originally thought he would have to wait for a while before he would have a chance to play, but he did not expect that he would be able to play in the second round of the Premier League.

Without saying anything, Matic put on his vest and started warming up on the sidelines.

Three minutes later, taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, the fourth official on the sidelines raised the substitution electronic board.

Sheffield United made three substitutions in a row. Montgomery, Matt Ritchie, and Vardy went off one after another, and Matic, Stephen Quinn and Ched Evans came on.

The fans of Sheffield United gave warm applause to the three players who played for the team for the first time this season, as well as the three starting players who fought hard throughout the game.

But the commentator quickly noticed that Montgomery called Li Mo over before leaving the field, and then actually put the captain's armband on Li Mo's arm!

"Wow! Montgomery gave the captain's armband to young Li! In my impression, the Chinese Suns who were in Manchester City briefly became the captain of Manchester City in the farewell game, but now Li is 18 years old.

He served as the captain of Sheffield United at a young age, which is so rare in English football!"

The rare reason is naturally because of Li Mo's age and his nationality. An 18-year-old player from the East can be the captain of a Premier League team. Li Mo's strength on the field and the love of his teammates in the team.

The extent is evident.

At this moment, the Sheffield United fans in the audience naturally noticed this. They stood up with cheers and then gave Li Mo their warmest applause.

Nothing can touch the home fans more than seeing the youth training kids who have been trained by the team for many years put on the captain's armband.

This is inheritance!

In the past, Spain's Cristiano Ronaldo put on the captain's armband of Atletico Madrid at the age of nineteen, shouldered the heavy responsibility of reviving Atletico Madrid, and left behind a beautiful but regrettable fairy tale in football.

Today, at the Bramall Lane Stadium, Li Mo put on the captain's armband of Sheffield United at the age of 18. Likewise, he also took on the important task of leading the rise of Sheffield United.

"I don't know if the story of Lee and Sheffield United will leave countless regrets like Torres and Atletico Madrid in the past, but at least today, Sheffield United fans have welcomed their 'holy baby'

, this will be one of the most romantic football stories in English football, I wish Sheffield United and Lee good luck."

Along with the commentary, Li Mo tightened the captain's armband on his arm, and his heart was heavy at the moment.

Although he had imagined this moment before and Speed ​​had already talked to him about it, Li Mo still felt complicated after actually putting on the captain's armband.

Gratitude, happiness, worry, and that heavy sense of responsibility.

However, Li Mo will not back down. In any case, he will wear the captain's armband more and more times in the future, until one day, he will completely become the owner of this armband.

Li Mo raised his hands to signal to the Sheffield United fans in the entire stadium. Then Li Mo patted his chest and told his teammates to stay focused.

The game is not over yet. Now, as the new captain, he and his teammates must win the game completely.

After Matic came on the field, he was still very excited. After all, this was his first appearance in the Premier League after a year.

Moreover, during the summer transfer window, he was almost considered as a recruit to play in the Portuguese Super League. Now that he can continue to stay in the Premier League, he feels very lucky and has performed very hard.

However, the game was coming to an end and there was not much time for him to perform.

Matic still kept in mind Speed's instructions to him before he came on the field. He did not push forward easily and firmly occupied the defensive position. He performed well in several aerial confrontations and made the home fans shine.

Finally, after Matic successfully fought for the top again, the referee blew the whistle to end the game!

"We have won two games in a row!"

After Vardy came off the field, he sat restlessly on the bench near the sidelines. When the whistle blew at the end of the game, he was the first to rush into the court, hugging Medel nearby and cheering excitedly.

Medel also didn't expect to get such a good start in the Premier League after moving to Sheffield United, so he laughed and danced with Vardy.

Li Mo smiled and high-fived his teammates one by one to celebrate, but he didn't expect Speed ​​to come on the stage and hug him enthusiastically.

"Well done, Lee, I'm proud of you."

Speed ​​patted Li Mo's back and said proudly in Li Mo's ear.

Li Mo also patted Speed ​​on the shoulder gratefully. The team has reached this point because their players have put in a lot of hard work, but Speed ​​is the one who brings everyone together.

Without Speed, he may still be able to play at Sheffield United, but Maguire will not get the chance to play so quickly. Drinkwater, Vardy, and Matt Ritchie will not come to Sheffield United.

.

Including this summer window, these strong new players will not be introduced by Sheffield United.

He has always been sincerely grateful for his trust and love for Speed.

Sheffield United won the game at home, and all the Sheffield United fans celebrated their first home victory of the season with the players.

Moreover, in this game, Matic, the last player signed in the summer window, played for the team for the first time, and Li Mo also wore the captain's armband of the Sheffield United first team for the first time.

This makes the victory of this game even more special.

After the players went around the field to thank the fans, the reporters who had been waiting finally got the opportunity to invite Sheffield United players and head coach Speed ​​to be interviewed.

Among them, Li Mo is naturally the person that reporters want to interview the most. Li Mo is a little helpless, but after being promoted to the Premier League, he can't ignore reporters like he used to.

On the one hand, he has to consider the promotion of the club, and on the other hand, he also needs to consider the motherland he represents behind him. Naturally, he has to learn to cope with it.

Li Mo is now able to answer general questions fluently. He says what he should say and changes the subject when he shouldn't. These are all things Li Mo learned with the help of the lady in the public relations department last season.

The reporters’ questions this time were quite routine, but when faced with the reporters’ last question, which was Sheffield United’s goals for the new season, Li Mo thought for a while, then imitated Speed’s previous actions and smiled.

He said something for a while and then left coolly.

"I think we have taken another step towards the goal of relegation. We have already scored six points, yes, but we are still far away from the goal of successful relegation, aren't we~"

There will be another update around nine o'clock, rush rush rush
Chapter completed!
