Chapter 289 Whether they can qualify or not depends on Sheffield United’s face

This was a goal that broke the morale of Manchester United, and it is also a classic goal that fans will definitely talk about for many years.

At this moment, Van Persie, who was standing at Sheffield United's half with his arms akimbo, looked at Li Mo's back with his arms open in celebration, as if he was seeing an insurmountable mountain!

Not long after he scored a miracle goal and he was about to pull the Manchester United players into a final charge, Li Mo stepped forward.

Not only did he respond to his goal, but he also bluntly knocked back Manchester United's rising offensive.

Van Persie is confused.

After years of ups and downs, he felt that he had finally reached the peak of his career.

It's just that this peak came too late, so late that he had to betray the love of Gunners fans, had to betray Wenger's trust, and bear the name of a traitor, just to survive in these best and last few seasons.

Fight for a heavyweight championship trophy.

But now, looking at this group of young and passionate players at Sheffield United, and looking at Li Mo who snatched the Premier League Golden Boot from him in the second half of last season.

Van Persie suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

If he can't win the championship, what's the point of the price he paid and the difficult decisions he made?

If he is really destined not to win the championship, then he would rather keep this last spark in Arsenal, and he would rather give everything for Wenger, but this is no longer possible.

After making a decision, he could only go one way to the end, and he had no choice.

Also feeling confused were other Manchester United players on the field at this moment.

The process of creating a dynasty is always exciting and very fulfilling.

But when they are in a period when a dynasty is in decline or even about to be destroyed, that huge sense of loss is enough to make most people in the team mentally unbalanced.

Only a few veterans can understand this historical cycle thoroughly, such as Giggs and Scholes.

They have all experienced several periods of Manchester United's prosperity and decline, and have received enough honors in their careers to look beyond them.

But other relatively young players cannot accept the fact that Manchester United's dominance has been broken.

They successfully defended their league title last season, and before this season they also came together and vowed to build another three-peat dynasty for Manchester United.

But in this game, after being beaten to the ground again and again by Sheffield United and Li Mo, this group of Manchester United players could only passively recognize the reality that their overall strength is not as good as Sheffield United.

To put it harshly, he was almost crushed.

Sheffield United gave up their signature strangling tactics in the midfield and back, and squared off against Manchester United, but even so, Manchester United still couldn't take the initiative on the field.

They are not as good as Sheffield United in terms of abuse, and they are not as good as Sheffield United in playing strong teams. Now they are facing Sheffield United and they have lost their confidence. How can they compete with Sheffield United for the championship?

Do you expect Sheffield United to encounter widespread injuries in the middle and late stages of the league?

Or do you expect Speed ​​to lose his mind and spend all his energy fighting for the Champions League and FA Cup?

Manchester United's players can't think of a way for Sheffield United to stay in the league without giving up other unnecessary cup competitions.

You can have some expectations and fantasies about something that is certain, but if you really treat it as a life-saving straw, it is no different from deceiving yourself.

In this moment of pain and confusion, Manchester United's players had to continue to persevere.

There may be a turnaround, but with Li Mo and other Sheffield United attacking players performing so well, the possibility of a turnaround is slim.

Strive for an ending where you die standing up!

※※※

When the game restarted, Manchester United's players launched an almost desperate final charge.

Ferguson replaced Cleverley and Hernandez, which was his last crazy move.

But Speed ​​didn't want to give Manchester United a chance to fight.

The attack has been going on so far, and there are still about ten minutes left before the end of the game. Sheffield United has proven its strength to the outside world.

There was no need to take any more risks, and Speed ​​also began to interrupt Manchester United's offensive rhythm with substitutions one after another.

De Bruyne replaced Joaquin and Medel replaced Dembele, strengthening Sheffield United's running and interception capabilities in the midfield.

In the last substitution, Speed ​​replaced Matt Ritchie with Cresswell, increasing the defensive strength on the left side.

Even if he wanted to provide insurance for the defensive end, Speed ​​did not directly ask the players to give up the midfield. Instead, he tried his best to strangle Manchester United's offense outside his own defensive third zone.

The energetic Medel cooperated with Matic and Drinkwater to build an interception dam in front of the penalty area, making it very difficult for Manchester United's offensive players to advance.

Because the formation changed to a 4-2-4 formation, Rooney was pushed up front to partner with Robin van Persie, and Manchester United's midfield and backfield defense seemed increasingly empty.

Cleverley still needs to complete the task of advancing with the ball, so Manchester United's backcourt is almost only left with Fletcher as a defensive midfielder. This style of play is very risky.

Although Li Mo also participated in the team's defense at this time, he saw the emptiness of Manchester United's defense. If he could take advantage of it and launch another counterattack, the game would be completely over.

Bale has been hovering near the midline, putting pressure on Manchester United's defense, forcing their full-backs to not dare to press all the way past half-court.

Seeing this, Li Mo simply went to the other end of Manchester United's weak defense and stood opposite Bell.

In this way, whenever there is a chance later, the Sheffield United players in the backcourt will have at least two passing directions to choose from.

In the 92nd minute before the end, after De Bruyne cleverly stretched his foot in the rib area to poke away Rooney's dribble, Li Mo stood directly on the right wing and raised his hand to signal.

Medel, who had seized the ball, did not hesitate when he saw this and hit a long pass directly behind Li Mo and Evra!

At this time, when fighting for speed, Li Mo naturally had an absolute advantage. After completing the overtaking abruptly, before Evra fouled him and stopped him, Li Mo directly completed a large-scale transfer cross pass close to the ground without stopping the ball.

!

This pass is quite rough, but the general direction is okay. Ferdinand and Evans are completely unable to catch Bell who is speeding up. Rafael can only chase back desperately at this time, but Bell is big

He quickly caught up with the football and then decisively cut inside into the Manchester United penalty area.

Facing the attacking De Gea, Bale fired a blast with his left foot!

When the football flew into the far corner of Manchester United's goal again, everyone knew that the game was over.

Ferguson watched expressionlessly as the scoreboard read 4-1, making no moves.

The panting Ferdinand bent down in the penalty area and closed his eyes in pain. He had never hated the decline of his body functions as much as he did today.

De Gea climbed up from the turf numbly. He really tried his best today, but Sheffield United's goal was either a single shot or Li Mo's almost unsolvable shot. It would be difficult for any goalkeeper to save Manchester United today.

The goal was not missed.

Rooney put his hands on his hips and kept shaking his head, while behind him, the Sheffield United fans in the stands had already begun an early carnival celebration.

it's over.

After Manchester United kicked off again, Fletcher only had time to drive the football towards Sheffield United's half, and the referee on duty blew the whistle to end the game.

In front of the lonely Manchester United players were the excited Sheffield United players who roared to the sky or raised their arms, Speed ​​who rushed onto the pitch with the substitutes to celebrate the victory in excitement, and more than 30,000 Sheffield United players who cheered excitedly.

PHL fans!

Li Mo, who completed two passes and two shots, naturally once again became the focus of reporters' attention.

Li Mo casually smoothed his sweat-wet hair with a satisfied smile on his face and took the initiative to accept the reporters' interview requests for the first time.

Faced with such a good thing, the reporters were naturally unwilling to let it go, and immediately crowded over and surrounded Li Mo.

At this time, in the entire English football world, and even in the entire European football world, fans have taken to the Internet to express their excitement and opinions as this Premier League highlight battle has come to an end.

"The so-called first-place battle in the Bundesliga today is bullshit! Brothers, I only had time to watch the last twenty minutes of Sheffield United's performance. Fortunately, I didn't miss Lee's shocking overhead kick! But I heard what they said in the first half

The battle scene between the two teams was also very exciting, I felt like I missed a hundred million!"

"I didn't expect Bayern Munich to draw 0-0 with Dortmund in the end. It's so boring! Brother, I understand your feelings, comfort from the Bundesliga fans!"

"Today's game is definitely the most exciting offensive battle in the Premier League this season! Manchester United is really unlucky. If Rooney had scored the goal in the first half, the game would have been even better! It's a pity that Lee's strength is really

It's terrible. With two passes and two shots, he dominated the game. He has definitely reached the level of a third man in football. Maybe next season, he can really challenge Messi and Ronaldo."

"No, no, no, you can't put Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi together and say that Messi is unique! He is about to win his fourth Ballon d'Or at the end of this year! Cristiano Ronaldo is just barely close to Messi

He's just a Western player, why do you think he's a player on the same level as Messi? Li should beat Ronaldo first and then challenge Messi."

"Maybe, huh? Mr. Ballon d'Or without an important championship? Mr. Ballon d'Or who was eliminated by an aging Chelsea team? To be honest, I don't deny Messi's performance in recent years, but he seems to be a bit too mythical. If big players

If Luo was born in this era, his scoring statistics will only be better than Messi's!"

"Fake Squid! You this"

When the topic involves Melo, it is naturally inevitable that the scene will be distorted. After all, Melo's traffic has been discontinued in football in recent years, especially when Messi is about to win an unprecedented four consecutive Golden Balls.

.

Li Mo's supporters saw that Melo's fans were quarreling again, and they seemed to be starting a fight over Li Mo's topic, so they quickly moved to other forums to avoid being harmed by AOE.

Melo's fans are all over the world, and football forums in various countries will not be peaceful if there is a quarrel.

But at least for now in English football, Li Mo's basic base is already quite solid. Even fans of Messi and Ronaldo can't shake his extremely high popularity.

After Li Mo dominated all the hot topics in English football overnight, Di Matteo abruptly stole some of the popularity from Li Mo.

Fo Shuai was fired anyway.

After losing to West Ham United with an upset score of 0-4 in the fifteenth round of the Premier League, Chelsea's senior management finally lost all patience with Di Matteo and officially announced his dismissal.

It seems that after some twists and turns, the history of football has the possibility to follow the path in Li Mo's memory.
