Chapter 244: Matching Rooney’s Champions League debut, declaring war on the gods!

"From Sheffield to Montpellier, it only took Sheffield United less than two years to rise from the English Championship and enter the Champions League today. And now, the young king who leads this team to rise is already facing the challenge.

All the rookie walls said 'no'! The Premier League can't stop him, and neither can the Champions League. His goal is the whole of Europe!"

The Sky Sports commentator once again excitedly repeated this sentence. After Li Mo made an arrogant celebration expression, in front of two goals, this somewhat arrogant sentence seemed extremely appropriate.

The French commentator felt very sad, but his professional ethics forced him to praise Sheffield United's performance.

From the very beginning of this game, Sheffield United had the initiative on the field.

Montpellier played really hard.

Visible to the naked eye, the offensive organization was split and strangled by Sheffield United's midfield, and the defensive end was even blown away by Sheffield United's wings.

Coupled with an inherent disadvantage in set pieces, to be honest, the French commentator no longer has hope in Montpellier's mind to score points. He now only hopes that Montpellier can lose a few fewer goals, in terms of goal difference.

Don't be too ugly.

The Montpellier fans at home also became silent at this time.

The French media's pre-match instigation made them have a bad impression of Li Mo and Sheffield United, but now Sheffield United are playing against Montpellier, and Li Mo was even more unceremonious with a machete, slashing twice in a row.

The knife struck Montpellier so hard that he was unable to fight back.

It hurts, it hurts so much!

Facing Paris Saint-Germain, which was acquired by a local tycoon and bought many powerful players, they have never been so passive.

Even if Giroud transfers, Montpellier fans still have some expectations and illusions about this Champions League trip before the game.

But now Sheffield United have forced them to face the cruel reality.

They are just fish belly, the handle of the knife is held by Sheffield United, and behind them are Schalke 04 and Olympiacos.

The Montpellier players also stood helplessly. Looking at the silent fans and the Sheffield United players surrounding Li Mo as he celebrated another goal, they could only shake their heads helplessly.

The players in the frontcourt were actually fine, but they just felt a little confused. They were already two goals behind before they even played much.

Mainly because the defensive players behind were under huge pressure, especially the two defensive midfielders and full-backs, who looked very ugly at this time.

It's not that they don't want to defend, but facing Bell and Joaquin who are in great form, it is really difficult to use a positive attitude to make up for the gap in strength.

There are already some problems with Bokari's mentality.

Seeing this, Estrada could only hug him and comfort him.

There is no way. Is Maicon, who just won the Champions League that year, good?

At that time, he was already known as the best right back in the world. But in the Champions League, wasn't Bale completely demolished him?

"Look at it, brother, it's not your fault, it's just that Bell forced you too much."

As soon as Estrada said these words, Bocaly became even more autistic.

Mbiwa behind was also speechless.

Why don't you just shut up and stop talking? If you can't comfort anyone, then stop comforting me, okay?

However, Mbiwa was also upset at this moment and was too lazy to care about Bokali who had a mental problem.

He was confused by Vardy's almost non-stop movement, but when he and Li Mo were confronted head-on, he felt that no matter how hard he played, he couldn't limit Sheffield United's offense.

Mbiwa was very upset.

Only the older Brazilian centre-back Hilton is still stable and is still encouraging his teammates to cheer up.

Perhaps among all the Montpellier players, only Hilton entered the Champions League with the mentality of enjoying the game from the beginning, so he was very little affected.

But when other players are in low spirits, no matter how optimistic he is, he can't change the atmosphere of the team by himself.

"I hope they can take a breath and adjust their heartbeat during halftime."

Hilton thought worriedly.

But, can Montpellier really last until the end of halftime?

After Li Mo and his teammates celebrated again, they saw Speed's gesture on the sidelines as they walked back to their own half.

"Continue to attack their flanks, expand the results, and don't let up!"

Speed's roar was so loud that the fans near the bench and the fourth official could hear it clearly, and Girard was no exception.

Montpellier's substitute players were very angry, but now that they were two goals behind, losing their temper seemed like they couldn't afford to lose.

However, the Montpellier fans close to the stadium were not polite at all. They raised their middle fingers at Speed ​​and cursed in French and English.

The fourth official also had no choice but to ask Speed ​​to stop.

This scene was quickly witnessed by commentators from various countries. They all speculated on what Speed ​​had just said, which made the Montpellier fans go crazy.

However, the gesture of pressing forward was very obvious. Facing the 2-0 result, Speed ​​was not satisfied yet. He also wanted his players to strengthen their offense!

After receiving the instructions, the Sheffield United players quickly unified their tactical thinking:

Before the end of the first half, they continued to press Montpellier and tried to expand the result.

Joaquin's condition has completely come out, and Drinkwater is also willing to let this big brother feel good for a while, so after restarting the ball and spending some time to seize the ball, Drinkwater immediately

The ball was handed to the right wing.

Trippier and Joaquin pressed together, Drinkwater supported from behind, and Li Mo continued to rely on the right to help Joaquin attract defensive firepower.

Such an offensive configuration and such support from his teammates made Joaquin feel proud.

"I think back then, I was also a killer on the sidelines."

I sighed in my heart, but Joaquin's feet were not slow. After catching the ball, he ran towards Cabela's again.

Cabela, who originally played as a wing midfielder, was now almost playing as a full-back, while Bedimo, who was originally a left back, and Sethi were behind Cabela's team, preparing to double-team.

There was really no other way, so Girard could only ask the three midfielders in front to move into his own half to help defend.

At this moment, Kamara will be left in front and let him try to see if there is a chance to steal the chicken. The others will come back first to stabilize the defense.

At 0-2, we still have to fight, and there is still a chance to adjust in the midfield, but if Sheffield United scores another goal and falls behind by three goals at halftime, the game will basically be over.

They are not Li Keqiang. Look at Sheffield United's appearance of rushing to kill everything, let alone Milan. Don't even think about the story of fighting back after being three goals behind at half-time. The most important thing is to get through the remaining ten minutes.

ah.

Seeing Montpellier's adjustment, Drinkwater did not hesitate, and moved forward with his eager horse to press forward with his troops.

Anyway, there is only one Kamara in Montpellier at this time, and there is not even a second-point support player. Kamara is no match for Vertonghen because of his speed. Let Vertonghen keep an eye on Kamara.

Can't afford the waves.

Girard originally just wanted to stabilize the defense first, but he didn't expect Sheffield United to directly press forward and flatten their formation in one fell swoop.

This time it really became "press and hit".

Many fans who wanted to see Sheffield United's performance in this Champions League group match no longer wanted to make fun of them.

Even the most arrogant fans of wealthy clubs have to admit at this time that Sheffield United is very strong.

To be able to beat a team from the five major leagues in the Champions League at half-time, and the one who was beaten was the Ligue 1 league champion last season, is really an exaggeration.

And Li Mo's good condition also makes these fans very afraid.

Even though Li Mo didn't attack with the ball much in this game, he achieved top-notch levels in terms of fighting for the top, running, and making the ball. The key is efficiency.

Li Mo shot four times in the first half hour, not as many as Vardy, but with these four shots, Li Mo scored two goals.

Four shots, three shots on target, two goals.

This data represents Li Mo's terrifying scoring rate.

No fan is willing to let their home team face such a super center.

This is the data even if there is no outbreak, so what if there is an outbreak?

Watching the excitement, I saw a terrible obstacle, and fans from all the wealthy clubs had mixed feelings in their hearts.

Soon the game time came to the 40th minute of the first half, and it was about to enter the final stalemate stage of the first half.

Although Montpellier's defense looked shaky and Montpellier's players played very passively, by shrinking the defense and defending in the half, Montpellier still did not let Sheffield United go any further.

Expand the score.

Commentators from various countries feel that the score in the first half is about the same. It depends on how the head coaches of both sides arrange tactics and substitutions in the second half.

If it's 2-0, the game is really worth watching. Although based on the current situation on the field, Montpellier's hope of equalizing is very slim, but it is better than being directly defeated by Sheffield United.

However, Sheffield United have not given up yet. Just now, Bell got a chance to kick outside the Montpellier penalty area. Unfortunately, the long shot hit the top of the crossbar, which made Bell very depressed.

But this opportunity made Sheffield United players see the possibility of scoring.

It's just a little bit of luck, but if there are enough opportunities, luck will turn into another goal.

After all, there is no guarantee of 3-0 in 2-0. After scoring the third goal, Sheffield United can take control of Montpellier at will.

Because at this time, Montpellier's penalty area was full of defensive players, and pulling them out had little effect. Li Mo and Vardy simply got into Montpellier's penalty area.

Li Mo knew that he had become a thorn in the side of Montpellier's defensive players, so he kept running to help Vardy and Bell attract defensive firepower, allowing them to get more kicking opportunities.
