Chapter 288 Get familiar with Sheffield United's dominant style from today(2/4)

Fletcher took a step laterally and subconsciously went to Cabell's receiving line. As a result, Li Mo turned around and started advancing with the ball!

Fletcher was thrown away, and Carrick retreated cautiously, calling for Fletcher and Rooney in front to quickly return to defense.

Li Mo suddenly took the ball and disrupted Manchester United's defense in the backcourt. However, the Sheffield United players also failed to keep up. Li Mo could only try to create opportunities by himself first.

His dribbling speed was not particularly fast, but he did not give Fletcher a chance to catch up. When Carrick retreated to the penalty area, he knew that he could not let Li Mo continue to dribble forward. Fortunately, Rooney had already

After fighting back to Li Mo's side, the two of them could at least stop Li Mo from moving forward.

Carrick thought so, and Rooney also approached Li Mo directly, trying to pressure him to pass the ball.

But when Rooney approached, Li Mo boldly knocked the ball horizontally!

The football just slipped through the gap between Rooney's legs that was exposed when he took a kick. Li Mo shook off Rooney's hand pulling his jersey, then changed direction and headed to the right to lead the ball and continue running!

Carrick was so anxious that he fell to the ground and tackled. Even if he had to receive a yellow card and give Sheffield United a set-piece opportunity in front of the penalty area, he could not let Li Mo enter Manchester United's penalty area so easily.

But Li Mo moved faster than him, throwing the ball forward, and then Li Mo jumped up to avoid Carrick's tackle, successfully passing two people!

Evans, who retreated to the penalty area, saw the opportunity and before Li Mo had control of the ball, he pounced forward to kick the football back to the midfield.

But after Li Mo landed, he strode out, and then turned around unexpectedly. Before Evans could get close, he turned his back and hugged him behind him, protecting the ball!

This was something no one expected. Evans was blocked by Li Mo and couldn't even try to poke the football away. However, he was still relieved. At least Li Mo could only choose to throw the football away at this time.

The ball was split or passed back.

With your back to the goal, you can't forcefully turn around and shoot, right? That would waste too much time, and Carrick and Rooney will never give Li Mo another chance like this.

Of course Li Mo will not shoot the ball by himself anymore. It is enough to bring the football to this position.

Without thinking too much, Li Mo quickly knocked the ball with his heel, and the football passed between Evans' legs and rolled neatly into Manchester United's penalty area!

When a red and white figure advanced with the football, Evans finally panicked. He quickly raised his hand to signal the linesman that the Sheffield United player who was advancing was offside.

But Ferdinand, who was stuck behind Bale, became the sinner of Manchester United's defense. The linesman saw clearly that Joaquin, who was penetrating forward, was not suspected of being offside. This was a good goal!

"Li Mo hugged Evans! Is he going to turn around? Passed the ball! Li Mo's heel pass! Joaquin——!"

Faced with such a rare opportunity, Joaquin's heart was racing and his mind was very calm.

De Gea attacked, and Joaquin slightly swung his calf, but when De Gea went down to the near corner, Joaquin changed his shot to a dunk, and easily dribbled the ball past De Gea's interception area!

Before Ferdinand made a tackle to intercept, Joaquin pushed decisively into the empty goal, then turned around and laughed and motioned for Li Mo and Bell to go to the baseline with him to celebrate!

"Joaquin dunked De Gea! There is no suspense anymore! Sheffield United scored another victory! Li Mo made a great contribution!!! Li Mo must take at least 80% of the credit for this goal! It was really hard for Manchester United.

An opportunity was created in the defense, which was both a battering ram and a blaster! Of course, Joaquín’s calm response is also very important! Manchester United has really reached the edge of the cliff! Ferguson must make adjustments first!”

Sheffield United fans at Bramall Lane went absolutely crazy!

Amidst the cheers that filled the sky, thousands of Manchester United fans held their heads and looked in pain at the Sheffield United players who were hugging each other in celebration.

Li Mo! It’s Li Mo again!

Not only did he score a goal, he had to break through Manchester United's defense and provide assists!

It cannot be restricted, it cannot be restricted at all.

This kind of game reminds many Manchester United fans of the UEFA Champions League final in 2011.

Manchester United's players are brave enough to fight against stronger opponents, but courage alone cannot change fate.

The familiar feeling of powerlessness returned to me, and many Manchester United fans felt desperate before the players!

Ferguson suppressed the pain in his heart and walked back to the coaching bench with an expressionless face.

Just like the commentator said, he had no choice but to make adjustments first.

He doesn't necessarily need to make substitutions now, but he must formulate the next tactics before halftime. The time left for Manchester United is only one half.

For Sheffield United supporters, such a dreamy first half made them ecstatic.

Speed ​​even rushed to the stands of the home team fans, pumping his fists and roaring passionately, which attracted even more crazy responses!

Li Mo, who was passing and shooting, once again became the absolute focus on the court.

Not only is he a tough guy, he can also become the most shining and decisive player even against strong opponents. This is the ability of a superstar!

"Lee's two flashes determined the direction of this game! He is the well-deserved number one superstar in the Premier League! After this game, all discussions about Lee and Van Persie or Lee and Rooney can end. He has created a

A new era of center! He is a unique Super Lee!"

While Sky Sports commentators sang praises for Li Mo, fans watching the Bundesliga top-place battle also turned their attention to the Premier League's focus battle after seeing the news feed of Sheffield United 2-0 Manchester United.

Because today's Bayern Munich and Dortmund did not play the exciting confrontation that fans imagined.

Out of caution, the two top teams in the Bundesliga seemed to want to win steadily, and the current score of 0-0 also made Bundesliga fans feel bored.

In comparison, the game between Manchester United and Sheffield United was much more exciting. Sheffield United also used two goals in the first half to force Manchester United to make a desperate move.

At least in the second half of the game, the Premier League's focus battle will continue to maintain high-intensity confrontation and attack rhythm. This is the strong dialogue that fans are looking forward to seeing.

When the referee blew the halftime whistle, the Manchester United players trotted back to the tunnel with solemn faces at the urging of their assistant coach.

Maybe Ferguson will boost morale and let the Red Devils' soldiers make a last-ditch effort. Maybe he will change several players when the game restarts in the second half and use his trump card.

But no matter how Manchester United adjusts, Sheffield United's current fault tolerance is enough for Speed ​​to deal with it calmly.

Medel and De Bruyne have already started warming up on the court. This is both a smoke bomb given by Speed ​​and a backup plan he prepared in advance.

If Manchester United really dares to attack with all their might in the second half, Speed ​​will replace Joaquin with De Bruyne.

The counterattack speed of Li Mo and Bell, coupled with De Bruyne's threatening passing, is enough to give Manchester United's defense another good drink.

If Ferguson wants to strengthen the control of the midfield and remove a forward to play 4-4-2, then Speed ​​will replace Joaquin with Medel and also play 4-4-2.

No matter how Ferguson made adjustments, Speed ​​always had a corresponding solution. After all, he had been preparing with the coaching staff for more than half a month for this game.

Speed ​​has already considered everything that needs to be considered. The only uncertain part before the game is whether Sheffield United can score a goal before Manchester United.

Now that he has a two-goal advantage, Speed's heart has completely settled down.

After reminding the players of the tactical priorities they needed to pay attention to in the second half, Speed ​​left time for Li Mo.

Li Mo once again emphasized the issue of mentality.

"In the second half, we just treat the game as restarting, forget about the lead in the first half, we must also win in the second half! Don't think about tying with them in the second half, we still have to find a way to continue scoring goals! If they score, don't

Panic, our offensive firepower is stronger than theirs! If they score one, we will score two!

Football is a game about who scores more goals, so even if we are scored, don’t think we need to get nervous or focus on defense. I just scored one goal today! How many more do I want to score?

Even Gareth didn't score a goal, so we have enough motivation to score goals! Just fuck Manchester United and it's over! Beat them and let's celebrate tonight!"

As soon as Li Mo finished speaking, the Sheffield United players in the locker room began to cry and howl.

Vardy, who stayed in the locker room to listen to Speed's tactics, pounded the table to play the rhythm, while other players shouted "Destroy Manchester United!".

When the halftime break ended and the Sheffield United players stepped onto the pitch again, the sense of pride in their hearts had almost disappeared.

What replaced it was strong fighting spirit.

As Li Mo said, not only must we win in the first half, but we must also win in the second half!

In today's game, if you don't win a big victory, it's not enough to celebrate!

※※※

At the beginning of the second half, Ferguson was indeed the first to make personnel adjustments.

Veteran Giggs came on, replacing Anderson, and Ashley Young went to the right wing.

The formation is still 433, but Giggs' appearance has strengthened Manchester United's wing attack, which Sheffield United must pay attention to.

Although Giggs is 39 years old, he can still perform well in his limited playing time.

His game experience and pitch insight are also valuable assets for Manchester United.

You know, the 38-year-old Giggs was still able to deliver four goals and ten assists in thirty-three games last season!

At such an age, playing on the wing, having such data is simply unbelievable.

Trippier consciously suppressed his desire to attack. In the next game, he must find a way and Drinkwater to suppress Manchester United's offensive on the left.

In terms of physical fitness and speed, Giggs is not as good as him, but he does not dare to underestimate the veteran in front of him. The opponent is already a living legend of the Premier League. No matter how cautious you are with such a player, you can't be too cautious.

After the game restarted, Manchester United did not directly pass the ball to Giggs and let him focus on the attack. On the contrary, they patiently organized in the midfield and backfield for a while. After the Sheffield United players began to press,

It was Rooney who started Manchester United's advance with the ball.

Lu Xiaopang is actually a comprehensive genius, otherwise he would not be able to be both a father and a mother all these years, having to choose between forward and midfielder.

After dribbling the ball into half-time, Rooney handed the ball steadily to Ashley Young, and Manchester United's two-wing attack began.

Van Persie learned wisely and retreated more frequently, no longer going to Sheffield United's dense areas to ask for the ball.

His ability to distribute and dribble the ball while running is still outstanding. It is impossible for Maguire and Matic to abandon their defensive zones and follow him around, which makes his performance more active.

However, Dembélé and Drinkwater were positioned deeper this time, which did not give Manchester United a good opportunity to attack.

And every time Rooney roamed in the space on the left and right ribs, Sheffield United protected the space on the wing very well.

No matter how much Manchester United tried to seduce them, they just didn't give them a chance to get forward.
