Chapter 137 The first Premier League penalty kick, scored twice

"Player Li Mo is so awesome, he is simply unstoppable."

"He is indeed Asia's strongest football player under the age of 20. You can only feel his power by watching the game live!"

"Fortunately, there is only one Li Mo player in the Chinese team. After all, football is still a team sport. The strength of one person cannot make the Chinese team rise. Our advantage is still huge."

Several South Korean reporters were discussing at the side. At this time, they had forgotten their mission to come to the scene today, which was to report on Chi Dongyuan's performance. Li Mo's outstanding performance had attracted the attention of all reporters.

Reporters from China were also snapping photos of Li Mo's celebration at this time.

Li Mo has had several celebrations where he didn't have to "listen". At this time, he can take a few more pictures to select picture materials.

After celebrating with his teammates on the field, Li Mo made a fist with one hand and waved. He felt that he was in good condition today and had to seize the time to score a few more goals.

Sunderland's head coach Bruce stood on the sidelines and saw that Li Mo was able to score despite the interceptions of three central defenders. He first covered his forehead, and then spread his hands helplessly.

These central defenders are actually pretty good, and they train hard, but if they weren't injured a lot or they are older, it would be impossible for them to reach the sixth round of the league without having a fixed central defender combination.

If Ferdinand Jr., the original team's main center back, was not injured, rotation among the three central defenders would be the best option. However, Ferdinand Jr.'s injury in the third round of the league left Bruce with no choice.

The summer window is also closed, and it is impossible to recruit any more, so I can only make do with it. I thought that by adding three central defenders, I could limit Li Mo's time for a while, and it should be no problem to delay the first half.

As a result, in less than thirty minutes, Li Mo almost broke through their defense, and there was Vardy next to him who was eager to try.

Bruce feels very tired, and there is no problem with his tactics, but the players are older and cannot withstand the impact of the opponent's star players. There is nothing they can do.

This is also a problem that small teams will always face. The bench is not thick enough and one of the main players is injured, which may lead to turmoil throughout the season. This is actually the case for Sheffield United.

Even though Maguire and Matthew Lowton are playing very well now, if one of them is injured, Noseworthy and Chris Morgan will have to take over. Will the veterans still have enough energy to play in the Premier League?

Whether he will be injured or not is unknown.

So now that the main lineup is complete, Sheffield United must try their best to score points, first get enough relegation points, and have enough goal difference, so that they can feel confident when facing emergencies in the league later.

After Li Mo and his teammates finished celebrating, he waved to his teammates to continue the offensive, which made Sunderland's three central defenders feel a little nervous.

"This kid doesn't want to continue attacking. Does he still want to score a goal?"

O'Shea touched his nose, and Bramble on the side gritted his teeth and said, "I'll do it. I'll keep an eye on him. John, you are more flexible. When the time comes, you and Wes will help me defend."

This famous bad boy in the Premier League has stepped forward responsibly at this moment. Among the three, he has the strongest confrontation ability. The best way now is for him to focus on Li Mo.

O'Shea nodded when he heard this. His body had been struggling with Li Mo for so long, and he was already a little unable to hold on. Although Bramble's willingness to help was a bit unexpected, it was a good idea.

When Li Mo approached Sunderland's penalty area again, he found that the person marking him had become Bramble. O'Shea and Brown were standing beside Bramble, seemingly ready to guard him at all times.

Smiling at the three of them, Li Mo still plunged into Sunderland's penalty area. When Sheffield United got the ball again and attacked again, Bramble tensed his nerves and watched intently.

Li Mo.

A few years ago, he could have confidently fought with Li Mo. At that time, his body was still in peak condition. However, in recent years, he has been having troubles off the court. Because of his lack of self-discipline, his condition has also deteriorated.

It's not as good as before, and it's a bit difficult to play against a young heavy center like Li Mo.

Relying on his defensive experience, Bramble began to make some small moves against Li Mo in an attempt to distract Li Mo.

Li Mo didn't care, and gently raised his elbow. Don't get me wrong, he didn't mean to elbow Bramble, he just raised his elbow to push Bramble away.

Feeling the huge power coming from Li Mo's arm, Bramble wisely did not try to compete with Li Mo.

But being able to distract Li Mo from his harassment was considered a success for Bramble.

At least until the 40th minute of the first half, Li Mo didn't get a good kicking opportunity.

O'Shea breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough and made timely clearances several times, coupled with Bramble's full interference, Sheffield United's offense combined with Li Mo's ability to grab points, they would have had at least two

Almost lost the ball again.

"It looks like we can drag the one-goal deficit into the second half."

O'Shea muttered in his mind that he had only recently returned from injury and his physical condition had not yet been adjusted to its best. It was really difficult for him to face off against a young center like Li Mo.

"John, don't be distracted!"

Wes Brown suddenly spoke to remind O'Shea from the side.

Making a reassuring gesture towards Big Brother, O'Shea stared at Li Mo closely. He had been watching for so long, but he couldn't let all his efforts go to waste.

In the 43rd minute of the first half, Trippier on the right side of Sheffield United once again dribbled the ball to the right area of ​​Sunderland's penalty area.

Li Mo's goal in the 20th minute was scored with an assist from Trippier. Therefore, Sunderland's full-back Mohammadi was very critical of Trippier and would not easily allow him to cross again.

Chance.

Trippier tried to break through, but failed, quickly controlled the ball, and handed the ball to Medel who stepped forward to respond.

Medel did not hesitate and passed the ball back again. Drinkwater stood in the right area of ​​Sunderland's half to get the ball.

Li Mo also suddenly retreated at this time, pulling Bramble out of the penalty area. The moment Li Mo raised his hand to ask for the ball, Drinkwater passed the ball in a tacit understanding.

Li Mo retreated directly from the top of Sunderland's penalty area, avoiding the interception of Sunderland's midfielder. At the same time, he turned around with the ball and faced Sunderland's penalty area.

Bramble hesitated for a moment, but still did not follow him out immediately. Mignolet anxiously shouted to his teammates to pay attention to the interception and not to give Li Mo a chance to take a long shot.

Vardy smartly started running to help Li Mo open up space.

However, the Sunderland players did not give Lee Mo much personal space. Both Sebastian Larson and David Vaughan immediately surrounded Lee Mo and forced him to pass the ball.

Li Mo didn't panic at all. He first moved the ball horizontally and dodged David Vaughn's overhand attack. Then he quickly pulled the ball back and passed David Vaughn cleanly.

Larson did not dare to rush forward and blocked Li Mo's forward dribbling position, waiting for David Vaughn to come over to defend.

This defensive player has a good sense of defense and is not impulsive. After all, after Li Mo passed him, he directly faced Sunderland's defense.

But Li Mo didn't hesitate at all. After passing David Vaughan, he started directly with the ball and almost got rid of Larson in one step.

The latter stood in front of the penalty area in a defensive posture with a confused look on his face. You are not playing by the rules at all!

However, although Li Mo quickly passed Larsson with one step, the ball quickly rolled towards Sunderland's penalty area. O'Shea rushed out of the penalty area decisively at the same time.

The football was rolling in the direction of O'Shea. Li Mo saw this and sprinted faster. Then he subconsciously stepped on the ball and turned around!

Marseille Slalom!

In fact, Li Mo didn't know what to do. His sprinting speed was too fast, and his subconscious passing movements stumbled a bit, but the feeling of touching the ball under his feet told him that he was coming and passed O'Shea!

"Lee passed David Vaughn, Larsson, Larsson didn't. Oh God! Lee got past Larsson in one step and John struck out! Slalom!!! God!!! Lee used the slalom to turn the corner

John passed!"

The voice of the commentator also became excited with Li Mo's movements. Three people passed in front of the penalty area, and it was an action made by a big center. It was so flexible that it was simply unbelievable!

The moment O'Shea was passed by Li Mo, his mind went blank. He knew what Li Mo would do after passing by, but he did not regret this attack. Even if it were other central defenders, they would do the same thing as him.

"No, we can't let him go there again!"

There was only one last thought left in O'Shea's mind. He couldn't just let Li Mo dribble into the penalty area. Brown and Bramble might not be able to react to the fact that he was passed. If Li Mo was allowed to kick, it would almost be impossible.

About to lose the ball again!

Subconsciously reaching out and pulling, O'Shea's face turned pale. He knew the consequences of doing so, but he had no choice.

Li Mo's figure paused, and then he fell uncontrollably into the Sunderland penalty area.

"Beep!"

The referee quickly blew the whistle. This was a definite foul in the penalty area. He pointed to the penalty spot with great determination!

"Penalty kick! The referee whistled for a penalty kick! Li used a beautiful passing performance to win a penalty kick opportunity for Sheffield United!"

The referee not only whistled a penalty kick, but also showed O'Shea a yellow card.

O'Shea was a little frustrated, but Brown stepped forward to comfort him immediately.

For a central defender, making such a choice is really a helpless move, and O'Shea cannot be blamed.

Li Mo got up from the ground. This was his first penalty kick. He was now the team's first penalty kicker. He carried the ball directly to the penalty spot and started to prepare.

Some penalty kickers like to rely on running rhythm to deceive the goalkeeper, while others rely on shooting skills. Li Mo is different. He likes to play directly.

After the referee signaled the players on both sides to exit the penalty area and blew the whistle, Li Mo exhaled, took two steps, and violently volleyed!

Absolute self-confidence, absolute decisiveness, no fear of your goalkeeper guessing the right direction and making a great save!

The football roared towards the upper right corner of the goal like a shell. Mignolet's reaction to save was fast enough, but not faster than the speed of the football!

The football flew into the goal before Mignolet's hand could reach it, and then hit the net hard!

"Oh! An extremely confident volley! Li has an absolutely big heart and scored twice!"

Li Mo opened his arms and ran on the sideline, waving to the fans to cheer him louder.

Do you want to see a hat trick? If so, cheer harder!
Chapter completed!
