On the afternoon of November 17, in Bramall Lane Stadium, players from both sides began to follow the referee team out of the players' tunnel.

Amid the din of the audience, Moyes looked a little ugly in front of the Everton bench.

"Damn it! I was fooled!"

When he received Sheffield United's starting lineup an hour before the start of the game, Moyes was relatively calm.

Li Mo is not in the starting lineup, which is in line with common sense and within the expectations of the Everton coaching staff.

After all, Li Mo had just finished playing for the national team and had been on a plane for more than ten hours. He only had two days of rest, so it was normal for him to be a substitute.

But when Sheffield United's substitute players took their seats, Moyes instantly understood that he had been fooled by the smoke bomb that Speed ​​set off before the game!

Li Mo was not even included in Sheffield United's 18-man squad today, but Everton's tactics have been planned for Li Mo!

After two days of useless work before the game, no coach would be able to calm down about this matter.

However, when he felt angry at being fooled, Moyes also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Everton's run-in has been very successful this season. It has reached the top six in the league since the beginning of the season. Moyes is also confident that he can lead Everton into the European competition this season.

However, even if the current results are very good, facing Sheffield United, or facing Sheffield United with Li Mo, Moyes still has no confidence.

Because he couldn't think of a way to limit Li Mo's performance, even against Manchester United, Moyes was sure to use tactics to interfere with Van Persie's performance, but Li Mo was different.

A center of this level has a devastating effect on the entire defense. Everton's current defensive core Jagielka is very good, but it is not enough against Li Mo.

At that time, Drogba still had a shortcoming of low scoring efficiency, but Li Mo was extremely comprehensive and abnormal. He was strong in confrontation and had a terrifyingly high scoring efficiency, which really made many coaches in the Premier League worried.

Li Mo couldn't play today, and Moyes felt confident in his heart.

Without the big bug of Li Mo, Sheffield United's offensive threat will be at least next level. Now Everton's defense is not bad. As long as it can withstand Bell's impact on the wing and rely on Fellaini's fulcrum in the frontcourt

Counterattack, Everton's chances are great.

Moyes then thought about it and realized that being outplayed was not necessarily a bad thing. Anyway, Sheffield United could not play Li Mo today, which was definitely great news for Everton.

But about ten minutes into the game, Moyes, who felt an inexplicable sense of confidence, couldn't sit still.

"Smith, go back and defend more! Help Coleman stabilize the defense, damn it! Don't just press forward, help limit Bell!"

Seeing his right back being overtaken by Bale twice in just five minutes, and Sheffield United's offensive becoming more and more fierce, Moyes became increasingly uneasy.

Speed ​​was sitting on the coaching bench, very satisfied with the team's offensive performance today.

Even though Berbatov rarely starts the game now, the Bulgarian always steps up and plays an important role whenever the team needs it.

It is true that Li Mo was not present today, but the experienced Berbatov acted well as Sheffield United's offensive bridgehead.

He retreated to receive the ball and played the ball with his back, creating a very good opportunity for Bell and Vardy around him to advance forward.

And Bell, who was the core of the offense on the field today, was full of firepower and entered a violent mode from the beginning of the game.

Last season, Bell already showed his ability to support an offensive line by one person.

The double-ten statistics of the season also well reflect his importance to Tottenham's offensive system.

After moving to Sheffield United this season, Bell has basically averaged one goal per game in the league. Looking at the five major leagues, there are really only a handful of wingers with this ability.

However, due to Li Mo's performance, Sheffield United's other offensive players were somewhat overshadowed.

Moreover, everyone usually works together and the defense is solid. After scoring two or three goals, the team is basically done. Bell rarely exerts his full strength.

It can only be said that Everton hit the target today. Speed ​​gave Bell a tactical position to play to his fullest. Just like Li Mo before, the frontcourt offense basically revolved around Bell, with Berbato in the middle.

With the help of her husband to open up the space, Bell directly broke through Everton's right wing!

"This is Bale's real strength now! In the past, Sheffield United's two attacking stars basically played for 60 minutes in every game, and then we often saw Bale and Lee sitting on the bench and starting to rest. Maybe it's a bit exaggerated.

But what I mean is that Gary's protection of them caused other teams to have some 'misjudgments' about their current strength!

They are actually better than the data that the outside world sees now! The data of averaging one goal per game or scoring one goal per game is good enough, but what Bell and Lee can do will definitely exceed this data.

, look at Bale today, this is the strength of the number one winger in the Premier League! This is Gareth Bale with full firepower!"

Accompanied by the excited voice of the Sky Sports commentator, Bell once again took the ball and started galloping down the wing.

There are no injuries or physical limitations. A healthy Bell who has entered the peak of his career is the well-deserved number one winger in the Premier League!

Even looking at the whole of Europe, his lethality on the left wing is only lower than Ronaldo. Bell at the end of 2012 was so awesome!

At this moment, Li Mo, who was sitting in the private room watching the game with Chris Morgan, also stood up and kept applauding Bell's performance.

In the 18th minute of the first half, when Bellson passed Coleman and opened the scoring for Sheffield United with a blast from the left side of the Everton penalty area, Li Mo and Chris Morgan were immediately in the private room.

They celebrated with shouts and shouts, just like the Sheffield United fans reveling outside.

What a coincidence, I couldn't capture Li Mo's live broadcast before the game, but now I found Li Mo. When the figures of Li Mo and the old captain appeared on the big screen, the cheering Sheffield United fans

They suddenly raised the decibel level again!

"Hey, Li Mo was also at the scene today, together with the team's old captain Chris Morgan. The Sheffield United fans at the scene seemed to be even more happy."

Zhang Lu laughed when he saw Li Mo.

At this moment, Li Mo made a funny gesture of Bell's classic celebration in front of the live broadcast camera. At this time, Bell also showed his finger heart in the corner flag area. The "tacit understanding" between the two brothers made many viewers laugh.

Amidst the laughter, there was a dead silence on the Everton bench, and Moyes also felt bitter in his heart.

The defense on the right wing was completely blown away, and neither Naismith nor Coleman could restrain Bell at all.

Sheffield United did not have Li Mo in the middle today, but their defense could not withstand an explosive Bell.

The defense is good, but when a star of this level breaks out, there is really no good way to deal with it other than double-teaming.

The key is Bell's terrifying speed. Double-teaming may not be effective.

With the situation falling behind, Moyes had no other choice and could only hope that the players on both wings and Fellaini in the frontcourt could create good offensive opportunities.

The striker Jelavic introduced by Everton last season scored nine goals in thirteen Premier League games. His performance this season is not bad. Although the scoring efficiency is not as good as last season, there are real opportunities.

, and is still a trustworthy scorer.

Moyes still has a glimmer of hope in his heart at this moment. With one goal, as long as he is lucky enough to equalize in the first half, he can just hold on to survive Bell's explosive period.

But Speed ​​did not intend to give Moyes face. After the Sheffield United players finished celebrating and ran back to their own half, Speed ​​waved his hand and signaled his disciples to continue to put pressure on Everton's defense!

Normally, they have to win at least two goals before calling it quits. Naturally, Everton can't do anything special. It's very dangerous to lead by one goal. What's more, Sheffield United's offensive has already started, and they must strike while the iron is hot.

After the restart, Sheffield United continued to maintain control of the midfield. Drinkwater was also in good condition today. He accurately found his teammates with long passes. Sheffield United's offensive

It was also one wave after another, giving Everton's defensive players no chance to breathe.

At this time, only by withstanding the pressure can Everton wait for an opportunity to counterattack. If they cannot withstand the pressure, it will be a matter of time before they concede the goal.

Everton central defender Heitinga's old habit of not being calm enough in defense has happened again.

Berbatov retreated with his back to catch the ball. Heitinga followed up and tried to destroy it, but Brother Xiaosha feinted and passed the ball directly. Then he turned around and left Heitinga behind.

Behind him, he completed an extremely elegant pass without touching the ball!

Later, facing Coleman who had no choice but to defend, Berbatov directly sent a diagonal through ball. Bell, who overtook Coleman, easily took the ball again and faced Everton goalkeeper Howard.

Howard was no longer in the mood to curse, and Jagielka even threw himself out, praying to intercept Bell's shot.

But Bell faked a real dunk. After passing Jagielka, he deceived Howard with a stab shot and scored twice!

Moyes sat on the coaching bench and covered his face.

"It's over."

The fans of Sheffield United started to celebrate again, but after scoring the goal, Bell first pointed in the direction of Li Mo's box, and then made Li Mo's "listening" celebration gesture.

"Hahaha, the relationship between these two brothers is really good. The live camera was pointed at Li Mo again, and Li Mo also laughed. The current atmosphere in the Sheffield United team is great!"

Zhan Jun was very happy when he saw Bell's celebration, but also felt a little regretful that Li Mo could not play today. Otherwise, with Li Mo and the explosive Bell, Sheffield United's offense would only be sharper and more beautiful.

As soon as the goal was scored, Everton's defenders seemed to have some mental problems, while Sheffield United struck while the iron was hot. Before the end of the first half, Bale assisted Vardy to score another victory.

3-0 at halftime, Everton was stunned. Even after the halftime break, their players still seemed to be a bit unresponsive.

Sheffield United did not attack aggressively in the second half, but Berbatov still scored the fourth goal of the game in the 73rd minute. This goal came from Joaquin's clever pass after cutting inside.

If it weren't for Fellaini's header in the last stoppage time to assist Naismith to score a face-saving goal, then this game would have been perfect for Sheffield United.

Because of the goal Everton scored, the Sheffield United players didn't seem so happy.

Their clean sheet record for the new season was broken.

But Speed ​​is very open-minded about this.

Such a record is an honor for Sheffield United, but it is also a burden on the players.

How can any team keep keeping clean sheets?

Now that this record is gone, players no longer need to carry the psychological burden of defending. They can do what they need to do boldly. As long as they win the game, that is more important than keeping any record.

Bell had two shots and one pass in this game, and his explosive performance naturally aroused great discussion among fans again.

However, when the matches of the five major leagues came to an end for the time being, the eyes of the media across Europe once again turned to the Champions League.

The first round of the Champions League group stage has been completed. The strength of each team has been analyzed and evaluated by newspapers and sports magazines some time ago.

After the trial of the first round, the second round of the group stage was naturally a real one.
