Even the new players who just transferred here this season have been assimilated to Sheffield United's style in just a few months.

They are the toughest team in the Premier League, and even in the Champions League, this toughness will not change at all.

Facing Sheffield United's midfield stranglehold, you can either respond and fight with a tougher attitude, or you can bow your head and give up the ball. There is no third possibility.

As of now, Sheffield United's players have not encountered a team that is "tougher" than them, and Schalke 04, which has just had a disagreement between its generals, is even more difficult to muster the courage.

As expected, Schalke 04's so-called counterattack was like a farce. Seeing the huge movement, Sheffield United ran over and realized that it was all a bubble.

Medel even felt a little unsatisfied. Before he exerted much force, Schalke 04's midfielder couldn't stand it and withdrew from the confrontation.

But this is actually not to blame for Schalke 04’s midfield.

Sheffield United's Matic and Medel are both ruthless midfielders, and Drinkwater has now developed a body like a small tank. In terms of confrontation, it is difficult to find many teams in Europe.

Can stand with them.

Schalke 04's attacking midfielder Holtby is a technical player who is less than 1.8 meters tall and weighs only more than 60 kilograms. Not to mention Farfan and Afellay, he seems to be a full midfielder, but in fact

They both play wingers, so having them fight in the midfield is completely useless.

The two defensive midfielders of the Miners are okay, but they are restrained in the half by Li Mo at the moment. Jermaine Jones is delayed and dare not press at will. Neustadt is unable to support himself. With this configuration, he wants to compete with Sheffield United.

Playing midfield confrontation is really too difficult.

The tactical thinking was not unified. The attacking players were pushed back hard by Sheffield United, and their morale was even more damaged. In addition, the head coach Stevens had a dark face at the moment and did not want to deal with the situation on the field anymore.

Schalke 04's formation immediately showed a tendency to be disjointed.

The people behind let the midfielder and frontcourt return to defense, but the people in front who lost the ball wanted to wait for the backcourt to steal the ball before counterattacking. In this situation, Sheffield United's fierce offensive suddenly became a pressure.

The last straw for Schalke 04.

In the 68th minute of the second half, Bell took the ball on the left wing and made a hit-the-wall coordination with Matic, who broke into the penalty area and shot directly, causing Schalke 04 goalkeeper Onner Staal to let go.

Get out of the situation in time.

In the 71st minute, Matt Ritchie passed the ball from the left wing. Li Mo defeated Matip and nodded the ball towards the goal. Onnerstaal was embarrassed to hold the ball out.

Just two minutes later, Sheffield United took a tactical corner kick and Drinkwater threatened Schalke 04's goal with another long-range shot from outside the penalty area.

Such a fierce offensive made the fans excited to watch, and Schalke 04's defense was crumbling. The German commentator was already feeling numb, and even felt a little embarrassed.

It's fine that we couldn't beat Sheffield United due to strength issues, but now the team's internal conflicts have been openly exposed on the pitch, causing the players to lose their unified tactical thinking and being beaten by Sheffield United. This is really embarrassing.

Already.

This is the Champions League!

The most popular football match watched by fans all over the world, Schalke 04's performance on the field not only represents themselves, but also represents the face of German football.

Now I really have no shame, the German commentators want Schalke 04 to be eliminated in the group stage as soon as possible, so as not to continue to be laughed at by fans from other countries.

Fortunately, Sheffield United did not let Schalke 04 fans continue to suffer. In the 76th minute of the second half, the score was finally changed again, giving Schalke 04 real relief.

"Oh oh oh——! Li Mo! Li Mo scored again! Hverdes missed Li Mo who was running at the front point, and made a powerful volley in the penalty area! Onnerstall was beaten

I didn’t react at all! My ninth goal in the Champions League! The perfect scoring machine! The perfect center forward!”

Zhan Jun's disgusting praises made the Chinese fans feel comfortable.

Li Mo, who scored a wonderful goal in the Schalke 04 penalty area, laughed and briefly celebrated with his teammates near the baseline.

The game was completely killed, and the remaining game time was completely reduced to garbage time. The reporters on the sidelines were completely focused on how to brag about Li Mo and laugh at Schalke 04 for the infighting that occurred today.

When the game ended, the Sheffield United players, who had qualified from the Champions League group stage two rounds in advance, naturally began to celebrate at home.

Speed, who was being interviewed, smiled calmly, left a few words for the reporters, and then left gracefully.

"Reaching the quarterfinals counts as success."

I'll see if I can post another chapter before twelve o'clock. Iran will face the United States tomorrow morning. I haven't said anything yet. I support Iran 100%. I'll crush the United States to pieces.
Chapter completed!
