In this round of the league, Sheffield United sits at home to face the challenge from Norwich City, who were also in the English Championship last season.

This is also a "promoted team" derby.

Last season, Norwich City was firmly on the backside of Sheffield United. It was not until the last round of games that Sheffield United got a direct pass to the Premier League. Against Norwich, many veterans of Sheffield United

The player’s memory is still fresh.

However, the two teams are not really enemies. After all, they have both been promoted to the Premier League. Compared with Sheffield United, which is ranked higher, Norwich are now only tied with fellow sufferers Queens Park Rangers on eight points.

In the tenth position in the league, it can only be said that the relegation situation is okay, and it is not competitive with Sheffield United at all.

However, the four teams ranked behind Norwich have all scored seven points. This gap is completely unopenable, so it is too early to say that Norwich is in a safe position. Therefore, for this game,

Norwich still wants to score as many points as possible.

The ability of Sheffield United to abuse others has made many teams in the middle and lower ranks very fearful. Except for West Bromwich Albion who took away a point from Sheffield United's home court with a crazy grabbing tactic,

The rest of the mid-to-lower teams were beaten to death by Sheffield United.

Moreover, after West Bromwich Albion beat Sheffield United, their vitality was severely damaged. The players' physical fitness was obviously problematic. They gritted their teeth and persisted in the next three rounds to achieve a record of one defeat and two draws. Now they have just climbed out of relegation.

district.

Therefore, for the teams in the middle and lower reaches of the league, whether to follow the example of West Bromwich Albion and risk their players' physical fitness and condition to try their best to attack Sheffield United is a matter worth considering and making a decision.

Compared to other Premier League teams, Norwich City and Queens Park Rangers will undoubtedly know Sheffield United better. They know very well that the key to Sheffield United's stability lies in Li Mo's state.

Li Mo's firepower output was too "stable", which resulted in Sheffield United almost steadily gaining a 1-0 advantage when facing teams that were weaker than them. Li Mo averaged one goal per game against weaker teams.

He even scored a hat-trick against Sunderland before, which made countless mid- and lower-tier teams drool.

Why do mid- and lower-tier teams always fail to break into the top ten in the league? In addition to defensive problems, they also lack a forward who can consistently score goals against weak teams.

Norwich are also envious, but they know that a striker like Li Mo is not something they can covet. As one of the "victims" at Li Mo's feet last season, Norwich has prepared multiple sets of plans to come to Sheffield United today.

's home field.

They also have to prove themselves today. Regardless of whether they win or not, they have to use a tough game to let the media and fans know that they are also very capable!

The Norwich players were preparing for the warm-up before the game with solemn faces. Their head coach Paul Lambert, an equally young coach, also made sufficient preparations before the game.

But when Sheffield United's starting lineup came out, Lambert and the Norwich players were dumbfounded.

"Lee is not starting?! How is this possible! Is there something wrong with Speed's brain?"

Lambert lost his grace and asked his assistant again and again.

"Speed ​​said that Li has just finished participating in the national team's games, um, so he will be a substitute for this game."

Norwich's assistant coach shrugged. What Speed ​​said made sense, but the key point is that in this way, wouldn't Norwich's tactical drills these days and the preparation of Li Mo's plan be in vain?

While the Norwich team was busy changing their defensive tactics, Li Mo was wandering around leisurely in the Sheffield United dressing room, holding a sports drink in one hand and nut snacks in the other. Not to mention how comfortable he was.

Already.

"Brother Chedde, come on, I'm optimistic about you!"

After giving a cheering gesture to Ched Evans, Li Mo sat down next to Stephen Quinn and started chatting with a few old players, causing Maguire to roll his eyes.

Speed ​​also smiled and shook his head.

Letting Li Mo as a substitute was a decision made before the game. On the one hand, Li Mo was really tired of traveling. To be on the safe side, Speed ​​planned to reduce Li Mo's playing time in this game. On the other hand, Norwich City

He still knows Sheffield United relatively well, and Speed ​​is worried that his opponents will target Li Mo tactically.

After all, Li Mo scored 33 goals in the British Championship last season. Norwich City has collected a lot of information about Li Mo. This season, the Premier League will meet again. Norwich and Rangers are definitely better than other Premier League players.

The team knows Li Mo better.

So instead of sending Li Mo in the starting lineup to head-on the opponent's targeted defense, it would be better to let Li Mo go up and charge again in the second half.

Li Mo, who was full of physical strength, attacked the defense of Norwich, whose physical fitness had declined a lot. When the time came, Norwich could not defend it with tactical targeting. The difference in strength was enough for Li Mo to seize the opportunity to score.

When the time was almost up, Montgomery took the lead out of the locker room. Li Mo also put away the smile on his face and walked to the bench with his substitute teammates.

He sits relatively forward and has a wide field of vision, which makes it easier for him to observe the situation on the field. This way, when he comes on the court, he will have an offensive plan in mind.

Many Sheffield United fans regretted not seeing Li Mo start the game, but when Li Mo came on the field, they still gave out the loudest cheers in the audience.

The game started on time at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Ched Evans, who replaced Li Mo in the starting lineup today, played more of a frontcourt fulcrum, while Vardy became the team's main attacking point.

This tactic has actually been practiced by Sheffield United before, just to deal with the situation where Li Mo was unable to start the game, and it actually worked well.

But today Vardy took the lead for the first time in a Premier League match. Without Li Mo at the front to attract firepower, he seemed a little uncomfortable facing Norwich's defense.

In the first twenty minutes of the first half, Vardy seemed a little lost. Ched Evans' performance was actually quite satisfactory. Several aerial battles also created good opportunities for his teammates who joined him on the wing, but they just couldn't gain the upper hand.

points, without Li Mo in the penalty area, there is no one who can withstand the pressure and complete the finishing shot.

On Norwich's side, their team's top scorer and center Holt, who helped the team successfully advance to promotion last season, seems to have lost his temper.

Maguire is too restrained against this type of heavy center. The opponent's advantage is still the high-altitude ball. When it comes to this field, I, Ma Datou, have never been afraid of anyone.

To be honest, the game scene was a bit ugly.

Norwich seemed to be rushing to get a point. Their center was restricted by Maguire, but Sheffield United's offense also struggled to open up the situation. Speed ​​was certainly not satisfied with this.

Vardy still needs someone to be at the front to attract firepower so that he can take advantage of his flexible movement. He still doesn't have enough experience in the Premier League and loses his intelligence when he is flanked.

Unfortunately, Ched Evans couldn't help him pull away the defender.

Speed ​​sighed in his heart. It seemed that only Li Mo was suitable to partner with anyone. Vardy still has a long way to go.

The two teams ended up goalless in the first half. Speed ​​looked at Li Mo, but Li Mo nodded confidently, then took off his vest and started warming up on the sidelines.

This move immediately caused a commotion among the Sheffield United fans at the scene. They began to shout Li Mo's name and cheered continuously.

The Norwich coach was originally very satisfied with the result of the first half, but on the way to the locker room he saw Li Mo warming up. His face froze, and then he accelerated his pace back to the locker room.

Li Mo fully stretched his body and joints, and at the same time kept thinking about the characteristics of Norwich's defense players in the first half.

After the halftime break, Li Mo came on directly to replace Ched Evans, and Li Mo's name instantly resounded throughout the scene.

Vardy also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly complained to Li Mo. With Li Mo supporting him, he felt much more at ease.

With Li Mo's appearance, Sheffield United's frontcourt players seemed to have suddenly found their backbone.

The center's thigh is back, why are you hesitating? Just pass the ball!

In the 47th minute of the second half, only two minutes into the game, Li Mo received a pass from Matt Ritchie that swept into the Norwich penalty area from the left wing. He held off Norwich's central defender and knocked the ball back to follow up.

Medel took a long shot, but unfortunately it missed the goal range. Medel also smiled at Li Mo sheepishly.

Although this shot did not threaten Norwich's goal, it made Lambert break out in a cold sweat!

This guy has created a shooting opportunity for his teammates after just two minutes on the field. How can he show any signs of fatigue?

After walking to the sidelines and shouting loudly, asking his defensive players to be careful not to give Li Mo a chance to get the ball, Lambert sat back on the coaching bench.

But he always felt vaguely that something was wrong.

As the game progressed, the feeling that something was wrong became stronger and stronger. Lambert watched Li Mo constantly changing positions to confront Norwich's defenders, and he suddenly seemed to remember something.

In Li Mo's first professional league game, didn't this guy just keep testing the defensive characteristics of the opponent's defenders?

"Oops!"

Lambert suddenly came to his senses, and he rushed to the sideline again, shouting loudly: "Double guard! Double guard! Don't give him a one-on-one chance!"

But at this time, Li Mo had already got the ball with his back in front of the penalty area. He turned to the left with slumped shoulders, but only made a shake, and then turned right quickly with the ball!

Norwich central defender Leon Barnett is tall and strong, but his center of gravity is a bit high. After being shaken by Li Mo, it is very difficult to keep up with Li Mo's rhythm. Even if he does not despise Li Mo in the slightest, Li Mo

Mo's turning speed was so fast that he couldn't keep up!

After Li Mo successfully turned around, he just led the ball one step forward, and then took a shot from one step outside the penalty area!

The current Norwich goalkeeper John Rudy is not the hero of Wolves' promotion in the future.

Being inexperienced, he never expected that Li Mo would shoot directly outside the penalty area. By the time he reacted, the football had whizzed past his ear and hit the net behind him!

At this time, the time had only reached the 62nd minute. Li Mo only played for 17 minutes and used a powerful and heavy long-range shot from outside the penalty area to help Sheffield United successfully open the door to Norwich!

After scoring the goal, Li Mo just took two steps back, then curled his lips and opened his arms to welcome the passion and cheers from the fans in the audience.

The Sky Sports commentator couldn't help but excitedly said: "Look at him! Look at this young genius! Who can say that he is the prince of Sheffield United? Now he is the king of this stadium! His

The subjects are worshiping him!!!"
