Chapter 136 The fifth goal in the Premier League, stable abuse

On September 25, Sheffield United sat down at Bramall Lane Stadium to face the challenge from the Black Cats Sunderland.

With his previous experience of being interviewed by South Korean reporters, Li Mo also checked the situation of the player named Chi Dongyuan.

In 1991, he was quite young. He moved to Sunderland shortly after he turned 20.

Apart from anything else, it is a wise choice to come to the European leagues for training at this age. Although it is not as good as Li Mo who has been to the five major leagues for youth training since he was a child, at least he came out when the ball was rising rapidly.

It seems that this player can be regarded as one of the outstanding forwards among South Korea's post-90s generation.

But Li Mo is not optimistic about his ability to play in the Premier League.

Not only because I had never heard of this player's name in my previous life, but also because of the characteristics of the Premier League.

Like most South Korean players in the past, Ji Dongyuan has good tactical discipline and excellent physical fitness. Perhaps in the South Korean league, his skills are enough to make him stand out among competitors.

But in the Premier League, he is too mediocre, especially at the center position, which is a position that relies solely on talent. Either you have technical talent, or you have to have physical talent.

Li Mo didn't see any of Chi Dongyuan's outstanding qualities in terms of running position, shooting skills, grabbing points, and heading the ball. Of course, this was compared with Premier League-level centers.

Not to mention the physical aspect, he is nearly 1.88 meters tall but only weighs 77KG?

How can this confrontation be fought?

No wonder he can only play more than ten or twenty minutes in each game in the Premier League. Sunderland's coach may be afraid that this young man will be bullied by the Premier League defenders and have a psychological shadow.

In Li Mo's view, this Chi Dongyuan should not have come to the Premier League. He is not suitable at all. He is twenty years old and cannot play any games. After playing, he lost himself under the defense of a group of muscle defenders in the Premier League.

It's just a waste of your own growth time.

It would be better to go to the Bundesliga or the Bundesliga 2 to level up, preferably the Bundesliga 2. Practice for a few more years, put some meat on your body, and develop into a fulcrum center. There will be many teams in the Bundesliga who want you.

However, Li Mo would not speak out his opinion. This is not a Chinese player. He was well fed and helped him plan his career.

But this incident also reminded Li Mo.

If domestic players later come to him for help and want to play in European leagues, he will have to check carefully and try his best to recommend them to a suitable league.

Forget about the Premier League and the English Championship. The competition is fierce and the space for taking the ball is small. It is not suitable for domestic players at this stage. Like Neon and South Korea, it is best to recommend domestic players to play in the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2.

Although there are very few domestic players with this ability now, there are always a few who still have hope, and the third brother Hao Junmin is now doing well in the Bundesliga Second Division. By then, he will be able to compete with Shao

Senior Jia Yi recommends the team.

Not to mention too much, if two or three players can play in the Bundesliga 2, the burden on Li Mo's shoulders will be lighter.

But just thinking about it now, Li Mo plans to talk to a few players he likes the next time he plays in Iraq.

For example, Brother Lei Zi, who is still occasionally selected for the national team, Zhang Linpeng, who is already an important rotation member of the national team, and Huang Bowen, who has a good relationship with Li Mo, are all very good.

Brother Leizi is still young. He is only nineteen years old now. It is not too late to go abroad for training. Although Zhang Linpeng and Huang Bowen are a little older, they still have room to improve their goals. If they can go to the German second division, their strength will be at least better than in their previous lives.

A little higher.

Zhang Linpeng, in particular, was one of the top five right backs in Asia during his peak period. Li Mo, who many people call the best right back in Asia, disagrees, but to be so praised is enough to show his strength.

He has good physical fitness, can play both right back and center back positions, and is also good at defense. With these characteristics, not going out to practice early would be the biggest waste of his own talent.

At that time, we will see if these players are willing to study abroad. If so, Li Mo will go to Hao Junmin to talk about the matter. In any case, he must help them make it happen as soon as possible in the past two years.

The game started at four o'clock in the afternoon. Before the game, the coaches of the two teams complimented each other, but there was no irritation. Although Sunderland wanted to score points, they also knew that Sheffield United's home court was not easy to play, so they kept their attitude low.

Sheffield United's playing style and formation are very conventional, still 4-4-2, while Sunderland use a 5-4-1 anti-counterattack formation.

On Sunderland's central defender line, there are two players from Manchester United, Brown and O'Shea, plus the strong central defender Bramble. This defense is still very good on paper.

They have experience and defensive toughness, but they also have a fatal flaw, that is, these three are all veterans.

O'Shea and Bramble are both over thirty, and Brown is about to turn thirty-two.

The Premier League is not like Serie A. Defenders rely on a mature defensive system to often play well until they are thirty-three or thirty-four years old.

In the Premier League, as you get older, many central defenders cannot handle the constant and powerful impact of the opponent's forwards.

I think it was with this in mind that Sunderland head coach Steve Bruce chose a three-centre-back combination for this game.

Ji Dongyuan is still sitting on the bench. The South Korean media feels very sorry for this.

They are not sure whether Chi Dongyuan will get a chance to play in this game. If Chi Dongyuan is a substitute for the whole game, their news will be difficult to write.

After all, the "Asian Derby" that had been promoted for several days before, but in the end, if Li Mo was the only one on the court, what kind of Asian derby would it be?

But Sunderland's head coach will not consider the feelings of the so-called Asian market and South Korean media. He only scored five points in the first five games. He is now scratching his head trying to grab points.

Although the current team's main center Bendtner is not performing well, he is tall and strong and has an obvious fulcrum role. Bendtner can only rely on Bendtner's physical advantage to open up the situation on the offensive end.

After the game started, on the Sheffield United side, Drinkwater still transferred the ball to the left wing first, allowing Matt Ritchie and Bertrand to test the attack.

As the team's most offensive winger, Bertrand's performance is getting better and better. Matt Ritchie and him take turns to intervene, and they can continuously push the ball into the opponent's hinterland area, giving the frontcourt players

Players deliver cannonballs.

Li Mo also quickly entered the state at the beginning of the game. He studied the videos of previous Sunderland games before the game.

It turned out that Sunderland had basically no fixed central defender combination since the start of the game. Sometimes they played two central defenders, sometimes they played three central defenders, and their personnel changed very frequently.

He speculated that Sunderland's head coach might still be looking at the status of several central defenders and had not yet made up his mind on which players to start on a regular basis.

This will lead to a situation where Sunderland's central defenders do not seem to have a tacit understanding of cooperation. Coupled with their age, this defense is like a time bomb.

Maybe in the opening stage of the game, these central defenders can still perform well based on their experience and personal defensive ability, but once they are attacked by their opponents, they will easily make mistakes.

So what Li Mo has to do now is not to give Sunderland's three central defenders time to get used to each other, but to increase intensity from the beginning of the game and start a strong impact with Vardy.

Until this temporary defense line was completely broken and Sunderland was defeated.

Matt Ritchie and Bertrand on the left flank attacked in a cross-attack, and soon they successfully broke through the defense of Sunderland full-back Al Muhammadi with the ball.

When the flames of war broke out on the Sunderland wing, Li Mo plunged directly into Sunderland's penalty area and began his performance.

Li Mo is not as tall as O'Shea, but his confrontation ability is so much greater than O'Shea that O'Shea had to call his old teammate Brown to help him defend Li Mo.

However, neither of them are heavy central defenders. Their speed and flexibility are acceptable. In terms of confrontation, it is easy for Li Mo to seize the opportunity to break away from the defense.

Both Bertrand and Matt Ritchie were very good at passing the ball. They were constantly hoisting the ball into Sunderland's penalty area. Li Mo also withstood the interference of O'Shea and Brown time and time again to grab points.

Li Mo is proficient in heading the ball and kicking the ball with his feet. In addition, Li Mo has great shooting power. Therefore, Li Mo is a great threat as long as he has the opportunity to complete the goal.

Fortunately, Sunderland's goalkeeper Mignolet, the Belgian international who would later move to the Red Army Liverpool, was in excellent form, otherwise Li Mo would have probably been able to score Sunderland's goal within the first ten minutes.

This performance made the South Korean reporters on the sidelines look at each other. If you didn't watch the game on the spot, you wouldn't be able to appreciate Li Mo's intimidation and suppression in the opponent's penalty area.

One person can withstand the double-teaming of two opponent's central defenders and still threaten to hit the goal many times. His personal ability is too strong!

The Chinese sports reporters on the side were extremely proud. Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of the South Korean reporters, they couldn't help but feel very happy.

South Korean football and Chinese football have always been at odds with each other, but because of the previous weakness of Chinese football, Chinese sports reporters could only watch with envy as South Korean reporters interviewed and reported on South Korean players studying abroad.

But now Li Mo's rise has enabled Chinese sports journalists to straighten their backs and speak loudly when facing their counterparts in other East Asian countries.

And as Li Mo's performance gets better and better, many Neon and South Korean reporters will also go to the Sheffield United game to report on it.

Every time they hear those words of admiration and envy, Chinese sports reporters feel doubly proud.

At this time, the Sheffield United players on the field once again formed a siege on their opponents.

When they played Wigan Athletic and Stoke City before, they beat each other many times, and now it's Sunderland's turn.

Trippier on the right also began to advance frequently, and with Medel's push from time to time, Sheffield United's left and right flanks were completely opened, and the offensive was overwhelming. The Sheffield United fans watching the scene kept cheering.

And with Li Mo and Vardy in the penalty area, especially when Li Mo suppresses the opponent's central defender, Sheffield United's passers don't need to do any tedious coordination at all, they can just find a good angle to pass the ball.

.

Cross the ball from the bottom, break through and pass back again, or directly from the front positions on both sides of the penalty area, lift the ball into Sunderland's penalty area. Using the simplest offensive method, Sheffield United played extremely high

offensive efficiency.

And Li Mo also used powerful attacks again and again to make Sunderland's defense crumbling.

O'Shea Brown's double-team combination changed to O'Shea Bramble, but the effect was still not very good. Li Mo was not only reckless, Bramble had better physical fitness, so Li Mo chose to take O'Shea away and then move.

Get rid of Bramble's close defense.

It is to use your advantages to attack your disadvantages, to bully you for being old, not strong enough, not flexible enough. Hey, you are out of position against everyone, so it is very comfortable.

Li Mo's impact, coupled with Vardy's stealthy moves from time to time to grab points, made Sunderland's defenders miserable.

But no matter how hard you try, you can't withstand your opponent's tactics.

Li Mo was like a machete, constantly bleeding Sunderland's center back line. Finally, in the 23rd minute of the first half, Bramble and O'Shea made a mistake in closing down the defense, allowing Li Mo to run flexibly.

When the position reaches the front point, fight for the top.

Brown quickly stepped forward to interfere, but Li Mo faced Brown's defense and directly used a crushing attitude to push Brown away and complete the goal with a head-swinging attack!

His body looked much bigger than Brown's, and the scene was unbearable to watch. Brown was directly knocked over in the penalty area, and Li Mo's powerful header finally opened Sunderland's door!

"GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!! Sunderland's three central defenders couldn't do anything to Lee! Lee ate Brown alive like a beast! Cruel goal! Beautiful goal! Who else can

Stop this young genius?!"

Li Mo put his hands behind his ears and trotted along the sideline, listening to the cheers given to him by the home fans.

The fifth goal in six games!

Sheffield United will usher in another stable game of abuse, and Li Mo's performance has just begun!
Chapter completed!
