Chapter 144: Cut them in the middle!

Li Mo's actions of encouraging his teammates at the moment of falling behind were faithfully broadcast through the live broadcast footage, and commentators from many countries were extremely moved.

Man enough, tough enough, responsible enough, and never give up.

Sheffield United not only has a future superstar player, but also has a future iron-blooded captain. It is hard to believe that an 18-year-old player has such a tenacious fighting spirit.

Even if they fail to beat Manchester United in this game, as long as other Sheffield United players have this quality, Sheffield United's rise will be a matter of time.

Standing at the kick-off point, Li Mo continued to applaud, and then pressed his hands down to signal his teammates not to lose their composure, "Just pretend there is no such ball. We will compete with them again and run just like we did before."

It’s the same as the Chelsea game, everyone should run and be active!”

Drinkwater nodded sharply and then sent a message to the other players behind him.

Although he was disrupted by Park Ji-sung's close defense before, that was also the reason why he did not run with all his strength.

If he runs as hard as Park Ji-sung, he will still have a chance to pass the ball.

Medel stood aside, took a deep breath, and felt fierce in his heart. When the game restarts, he must intercept and press the ball from the Manchester United midfielder even more fiercely.

Montgomery didn't say anything. He straightened his socks and his eyes were extremely determined.

And Matt Ritchie, Bertrand, Maguire.

The Sheffield United players all remembered that match against Chelsea and how they won the game with anger.

Lower their posture, press and run with all their strength. Even if the opponent is extremely powerful, they must fight fearlessly. No matter whether they win or lose, in the end neither they nor their opponents can stand on the field. If they do not tire themselves and their opponents, then it will not count.

Work hard!

"The eyes of Sheffield United players reveal ferocity. Lee has ignited the anger of the whole team at this moment. Will this remind them of the previous game against Chelsea? This is a game that belongs to warriors. Manchester United's

Being strong may once again inspire the fierce and passionate Sheffield United team, Red Devils, be careful!"

The referee blew the kick-off whistle again, Li Mo kicked the ball to Vardy, Vardy quickly passed it back to Drinkwater, and Sheffield United's formation also quickly spread out.

Manchester United is strong, but it also has weaknesses.

However, after Drinkwater was restricted in the first half, Sheffield United's offense could not develop well, and the wing was blocked due to Manchester United's suppression. They had to take a high ball and quickly pass through the midfield, allowing Li Mo to try to open up the situation.

.

But now that Drinkwater has stepped up his running without any effort, Li Mo directly retreats, cooperates with Drinkwater to stabilize the ball, and then launches an offensive in the middle.

Since Scholes announced his retirement this summer, Manchester United has no commander in the midfield. Fletcher and Carrick are both very balanced midfielders. It is difficult to say that they are not good players, but they are not yet able to serve as midfielders.

The core role.

Therefore, Manchester United now relies on Rooney to retreat to initiate the attack many times, and he also serves as the second offensive point while charging forward.

Without a commander in the middle, why can Manchester United be in such good shape at the start of this season?

The answer is to make a fuss on the wing. Although the team's overall performance is also very good, the existence of wing players such as Nani, Ashley Young and Valencia allows Manchester United to often open gaps on the wing, thus

Deliver artillery shells to the offensive line.

Therefore, Manchester United still mainly attacks the wings in this game. The layout in the middle is to double the midfielder first to tighten the pocket, and then send Park Ji-sung and Drinkwater to counterattack, so that Drinkwater cannot easily play in the middle.

Organization and control.

Because if Sheffield United's midfielders press across the board and launch pressure and penetration attacks on Manchester United's central players, it will be difficult for Manchester United to withstand it. Carrick and Fletcher can defend, but they are not top-notch players.

defensive player.

Sheffield United's ability to counterattack in the middle has been demonstrated in previous games. The speed is frightening. Without a top defensive midfielder, Ferguson is unwilling to take this risk and can only force Sheffield United to go wide and fall into him.

Designed trap.

After all, no matter how fast Sheffield United's wingers counterattack, Nani and Anderson can return to defense as quickly as possible to help the two full-backs interfere with Sheffield United's ball-carrying players. However, if they go to the center, once they penetrate Carrick,

With Fletcher, Li Mo can directly take the ball and face Manchester United's current defense, which is full of problems.

Unless Rooney retreats, just like Li Mo did before, he retreats to get the ball and help the midfielder transition the ball smoothly and stabilize the situation.

But if Manchester United does this, their most threatening sharp knife will become the passer. If Welbeck or Hernandez comes up front, there will not be much threat.

That's why Manchester United came up with a tactical design for the opening, to attract Sheffield United players to give up playing in the middle and compete with Manchester United on the wing. After Drinkwater was pressed to death and did not have enough possession of the ball, Sheffield United

Naturally, Manchester United will push back from the wing.

But now Manchester United's weakness has been accidentally hit by the Sheffield United players. Drinkwater just saw that the two wings were not moving, so he simply ran desperately in the middle to pass the ball.

Then give Li Mo a chance to get the ball in the midfield and move forward.

Li Mo didn't go to Manchester United's backcourt to fight for the ball, so Ferdinand naturally had to stay in the penalty area. Carrick and Fletcher didn't have the help of defenders, so Li Mo found opportunities to beat them one-on-one.

!

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Anderson quickly returned to the defense to help, but Li Mo was already in his best form, cooperated with Vardy and Matt Ritchie, and turned Manchester United's midfield upside down.

If Manchester United's midfielder was still Keane or a healthy Hargreaves, it would be almost impossible for Li Mo to play like this, but facing the defense of Fletcher and Carrick, Li Mo directly took the ball up.

Body and speed.

Carrick had no choice but to push and pull Li Mo. He received a yellow card in the 36th minute of the first half. The situation on the field suddenly became unfavorable for Manchester United!

Ferguson's expression also changed. What he had been worried about finally happened.

Carrick and Fletcher are still too slow in terms of speed and are easily overwhelmed by the opponent's speedy forwards. Moreover, these two players do not have the domineering and decisiveness of top defensive midfielders.

If Keane is here, only one of Li Mo's people and the ball at his feet can pass by!

The slow speed is only one aspect. There has been no awakening and growth in mentality. This is the reason why Ferguson has always been dissatisfied with both of them.

Too polite, Carrick got a yellow card and just tugged on Li Mo's clothes, why can't he directly shovel? It's not about hurting people, you must at least have a fierce posture. If the back can't be fierce, how can you defend the front line?

What about the barrier?

At this time, on the other side, Speed ​​took a look at the situation on the field and also slapped his forehead.

Why didn't he think of this before? Manchester United's "backbone" has been hardened for several years. Faced with Li Mo's impact, Manchester United's midfielder and backfielder must not be able to withstand it!

If I had known this, I would have gone directly to Matic. Matic's ball control and passing are much more stable than Montgomery. After Drinkwater was restricted by Park Ji-sung, if Matic was on the court, he could continue to give in the middle.

Li Mo delivers the ball.

Speed ​​seemed to be suddenly enlightened. After looking at Manchester United's formation and starting players, Speed ​​clapped his hands. The most commendable thing about Sheffield United right now is the overall impact and the physical fitness of the players.

Regardless of whether they are on the wing, in the middle, in the frontcourt, or in the backcourt, the players have strong impact and good physical fitness.

In terms of technology, the current Sheffield United will definitely not be able to beat Manchester United, so why not just flip the table!

If you catch Manchester United's center and hit them, keep charging until their center is overwhelmed and destroyed, won't you be able to break the game?

Manchester United has the advantage of technology and experience on the wing, and we at Sheffield United also have the advantage of speed and physical strength in the center!

Speed's brain was running rapidly, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible the idea became. He quickly stood on the sidelines, and when there was a chance of a dead ball, he shouted Medel's name loudly. When Medel came over, Speed ​​took the time to call Medel.

Del explained the subsequent tactics in his ears.

Medel's eyes lit up after hearing this, then he nodded firmly, quickly ran back to his position, and began to convey instructions to his teammates.

"The boss said, just charge into the center of Manchester United. They can't stand it, but we can break it!"

When Li Mo was told this by Vardy, he looked at the sidelines. Speed ​​was looking at Li Mo at this time. Seeing Li Mo looking over, he nodded. Li Mo instantly understood what the old handsome guy meant.

.

They hit theirs, and we hit ours, just cut them in the middle!

"Okay, then keep rushing!"

Li Mo patted Vardy on the shoulder, and then the two dispersed. Vardy began to run in the frontcourt, while Li Mo continued to retreat to get the ball.

After finding the tactical direction, the Sheffield United players seemed to be playing like crazy, intercepting and attacking fiercely. After getting the ball, they handed it over to Drinkwater who ran out of position or other players who dropped back to support him as soon as possible.

.

Li Mo was waiting for the football to come near the center circle. His task was to constantly attack Manchester United's midfield and backfield defense.

If his teammates have a better position, he can pass the ball out. If he can't run out, he will fight in his own way!

He is confident in one-on-one situations. Whether he is facing Fletcher, Carrick, or Anderson returning to defense, he can stably beat the opponent.

But now several Manchester United midfielders no longer gave him a chance to fight alone. At least two players came together to defend. Li Mo was actually very uncomfortable facing such defensive interference, but he still chose to attack.

He is the only one in the team who has the ability to drive the ball forward. If he has this ability, he must shoulder this responsibility. No matter how difficult it is to get through, he must rush through!

"Fight!"

Li Mo took a deep breath, then took the ball and started another impact, moving forward indomitably!
Chapter completed!
