Chapter 247 West Bromwich Albion being teased(1/2)

Faced with an outrageous mistake, West Bromwich Albion fans can actually accept it.

After all, for young players, mistakes are normal.

But not long after the first half started, Lukaku made a series of outrageous mistakes, wasting the team's scarce offensive opportunities, and the West Bromwich Albion fans couldn't stand it anymore.

You have a center, a dark, tough, 1.9-meter-tall kind. Instead of going to the center to confront the opponent's defensive players and establish a stable spot for the team to get the ball, you go to the wing to compete with the opponent for speed?

If you win, you won't say anything. But now you lose, and you give Sheffield United the ball. What kind of trouble are you going to make?

At this moment, Steve Clark was so angry that his face turned red when he saw that the little monster that he strongly urged the team to introduce was performing like this.

Lukaku's performance was a complete slap in his face!

Finally, he found an opportunity to correct Lukaku and put Sean Long on the bench. As a result, Lukaku gave him a small blow. At this time, the team manager and owner were probably embarrassed.

If Sean Long doesn't fit his tactics and can score at least eight or nine league goals a season, if Lukaku continues to play like this, Steve Clark estimates that the team manager will have to talk to him tomorrow.

Therefore, now Steve Clark has made a bold decision to wake up Lukaku!

"Romelu! What the hell are you doing? You're kicking like a piece of shit! Get back to your place right now, and if you mess with me again, get the fuck out of here!"

The angry Steve Clark was a bit scary. At least Lukaku only glanced at the sidelines, shrunk his neck, then scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and walked back to the center.

The noise at the scene prevented Lukaku from actually hearing what his head coach was saying, but he didn't have to think about it, it was definitely not a good thing.

Facing this famous Blues coach who was very optimistic about him, no matter how rebellious Lukaku was, he didn't dare to have disobedient thoughts, so he could only suppress the desire for performance that had no place in his heart.

After sighing, Lukaku looked at the opposite half, to be precise, at Li Mo, who was standing in front of the West Bromwich Albion penalty area.

If he hadn't faced Sheffield United in this game, he wouldn't be so eager to express himself.

He likes Didier Drogba very much. One of his childhood idols was African Warcraft. In addition, he also likes Adriano very much.

He was overjoyed to be favored by Chelsea, and it was a great thing for him to be able to play with his childhood idol.

But after arriving at Chelsea, although he realized his dream of playing with Drogba, his name gradually became his nightmare.

That is Li Mo.

Although Lukaku directly received the title of Little Monster after moving to the Premier League, Li Mo was dubbed the successor of Adriano or Drogba early on.

Terry and Drogba often use Li Mo as an example to make Lukaku tougher.

This made Lukaku feel a lot of pressure.

Because Li Mo's number of goals was too exaggerated, Lukaku was also shocked by his performance on the court.

He didn't want to be compared to Li Mo like this, especially in front of his captain and his idol.

But the data Li Mo finally achieved last season made Lukaku's mentality directly split.

Let alone thirty-five goals, even twenty-five goals in the Premier League in a single season was a very difficult goal for him, but Li Mo accomplished it.

Li Mo, who is only one month older than him, completed the feat of 35 goals and 16 assists in a single season in the Premier League. Compared with Li Mo, these new generation stars seem to have become foils.

Lukaku actually understands in his heart that Li Mo and he are no longer players at the same level.

The end result of forcing himself to compete with Li Mo was destined to be bad, but Lukaku just held his breath in his heart.

Maybe he doesn't want to prove that his talent is better than Li Mo, he just wants others to see that he, Romelu Lukaku, can afford the nickname of Little Monster.

He wanted Didier to say those words with joy:

I'm proud of you, Romelu.

But now it seems that the gap between him and Li Mo is still too big.

Tiehanhan is a little aggrieved. He just wants to get the attention that should belong to him, but in this period of time in the Premier League, not to mention their young players, many well-known stars have been suppressed by Li Mo.

This is a prosperous era for the Premier League, but it is also the tragedy of all Premier League stars.

Because almost all the praise was taken away by one person.

Just like La Liga, no matter how well Aguero, Falcao, Higuain and Villa perform, the spotlight will always shine on those two people.

The difference between Lukaku and them may be that they are already used to it, but Lukaku is not used to it yet.

Li Mo didn't know what Lukaku was thinking. Even if he knew, he could only do nothing to help Tiehanhan with the psychological pressure he was under now.

Even without him, in the context of Melo's struggle for hegemony, Lukaku and the others are still destined to become the Green Leafs.

It will only be 12 years, and the rivalry between the two monsters of Melo will almost continue until the 19-20 season, and then the two will gradually step down from the altar.

Almost two generations of stars will be suppressed by them. The fate of these two generations of stars has long been doomed.

At this moment, Li Mo only felt that Lukaku's performance was a bit strange, and then he was thinking about how to hit West Bromwich Albion.

Facing West Bromwich Albion's central defender, Li Mo was still very excited.

Macaulay is also an old acquaintance.

When he was playing in the British Championship before, Li Mo had played against Macaulay, who was playing for Ipswich Town at the time.

Macaulay also played more than 30 Premier League games with West Bromwich Albion last season, and his strength has improved a lot.

Macaulay, who is slightly slower and has similar height and weight to Li Mo, is one of the few opponents in the Premier League who can counter pressure for Li Mo.

Macaulay's partner, the 1.93 meter tall center back Olsson is also good.

The central defender line formed by these two players gave Li Mo a lot of excitement.

Speaking of which, if Li Mo can return to the Premier League six or seven years in advance, he will not be short of opponents.

In that star-studded era, Terry, Ferdinand, Ledley King, Vidic were at their peak, and Campbell was at the tail end of his peak.

These talents will be Li Mo's best opponents. Unfortunately, when Li Mo grew up, the defensive superstars in the Premier League also collectively aged.

Currently, the only people who can compete with Li Mo in a one-on-one match are Arsenal's Per Mertesacker, Manchester City's Kompany and Stoke City's Huth.

So much so that Li Mo gets excited when he meets a good central defender combination.

But while he was excited now, Macaulay and Olsson were complaining inwardly.

Speaking of which, Macaulay and Li Mo have played against each other four times, but they have basically lost, and no one can stand it.

Not only are the match-ups tormented, but the team is also losing all the time. When Macaulay heard that he was going to play Sheffield United, he felt a little trembling in his heart.

However, as one of the few mid-to-lower teams that could draw with Sheffield United last season, the central defender combination of Macaulay and Olsson still made a great contribution.

Although neither of them can match Li Mo alone, there is still something to be said for double-teaming Li Mo.

At least, considering the tonnage and height, the two of them had some experience in limiting Li Mo's performance.

So after Lukaku stopped working, West Bromwich Albion focused on counterattack, but did not allow Sheffield United to score the goal quickly.

Although it was a bit difficult to hold up, especially after Li Mo pulled out of the penalty area and kept playing ball for the players on both wings, West Bromwich Albion didn't have a good way to deal with it.

But when Li Mo entered the penalty area, Macaulay and Olsson's double-team defense played a huge role.

The reporters on the sidelines also became interested at this time.

Interrupting Sheffield United's offense by restricting Li Mo was a tactic that many teams tried last season, but few succeeded.

West Bromwich Albion's record against Sheffield United last season was one draw and one defeat. Although Huo Taigong's tactical arrangement made a great contribution to the draw, it now seems that the performance of Macaulay and Olsson also made a great contribution.

"Will Sheffield United still suffer from West Bromwich Albion?"

As soon as such an idea came out, these reporters couldn't stop fantasizing.

If Sheffield United were tied by West Bromwich Albion, that would be big news!

Although the possibility of this happening is still very small, what if it does happen?

Reporters from major media outlets became very excited.

It's not enough to satirize and belittle Sheffield United, but it can create some news topics to attract readers' attention. In the final analysis, traffic is the number one.

The news that Sheffield United continues to sit first in the league is good, but compared with the upset, it seems not good enough.

Speed ​​didn't know what these reporters were thinking at this time, but he was also a little worried.

In addition to creating an opportunity for De Bruyne at the beginning today, Li Mo seemed to have fallen into a rhythm of constant confrontation with his opponents.

Speed ​​didn't know what Li Mo was doing. As far as he knew, Li Mo shouldn't make such a mistake.

But now he couldn't ask Li Mo himself, so he could only take another look.

If West Bromwich Albion could not score in the first half, then Speed ​​would have to let Li Mo feel the taste of a hair dryer.

At this moment, the Sheffield United players on the field still maintain the same trust in Li Mo as before. If Li Mo wants the ball, no matter whether the position is good or not, they will still try their best to pass it to him.

When Steve Clark saw this, he let out a sigh of relief.

As long as Li Mo indulges in hand-to-hand combat with his own defender, then his tactics will be half successful.

He doesn't expect to win this game, but if Li Mo doesn't perform well, there is still hope for them to get a point.

Only Medel and Vardy, watching Li Mo attack the opponent's defense again and again to no avail, did not feel strange. On the contrary, their eyes were very amused.

The two of them have lived together for so long and usually play some tricks on the training ground. How could they not know what Li Mo is thinking.

Drinkwater and Maguire, who were sitting on the bench off the field, also covered their mouths and didn't know what they were communicating with, but their expressions were relaxed and they didn't seem to be worried about the current situation at all.

After Li Mo headed the football again, he first made an apologetic gesture towards Bell who was passing the ball.
