The storm of Lao Fu's temptation was subsided before it even began.

The outside media were curious about Li Mo's sudden remarks on social media, but Li Mo and Sheffield United Club were both very nervous, and the reporters asked for a while and didn't find out anything.

However, in response to Mendes' inquiry, Li Mo thought about it and told Real Madrid truthfully about this contact.

This matter was nothing at all. If he kept it a secret, it would make Mendes wonder if he had reached an agreement with Real Madrid's senior executives in private. It would be better to say it generously.

How Mendes communicated with Real Madrid afterwards was a matter between them, but Li Mo still mentioned it, it would be better not to get him and Ronaldo into this matter.

Last time I attended the FIFA annual awards ceremony, Li Mo and Ronaldo had a pleasant exchange. Both of them were under Mendes. If the relationship broke up due to this contact incident, it would be unnecessary.

Mendes obviously knew whether this matter was big or small, it depends on his way of handling it. In the end, he just told Li Mo not to worry and hung up the phone in a hurry. I think he had to confirm it first to Real Madrid.

Li Mo thought about it, then called Speed ​​and briefly explained the incident.

His candid made Speed ​​very satisfied, and his attitude made Speed ​​feel much more relieved.

After all, Li Mo is the direct disciple of the old handsome guy, and the two have a tacit understanding of each other. They didn't mention it much after the matter was said. The two talked more about the competition arrangements in late January.

The 23rd round of the Premier League will start on January 19, when Sheffield United will go to challenge Newcastle away.

After this round of matches, the Premier League will be suspended for about ten days. During these ten days, Sheffield United ushered in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Li Mo should be on the bench with the team, but his game task will not be heavy. As long as there is no problem in the FA Cup game, he will just sit on the bench to rest. He will basically be able to rest after playing the 23rd round of the league.

one time.

The master and apprentice chatted a few more times and ended the call. At this time, Li Mo's door was knocked. When he went out, he saw that Maguire and Stones had packed their luggage and were waiting for him.

Come out to work as a coolie.

"It all means that I did it tomorrow, and you two must move here."

Li Mo scratched his head, and while complaining, he put on his coat, and accompanied the two of them to carry their luggage into the small cargo box.

After Valdy and the others moved out of the villa one after another, Maguire and Stones also arrived on this day.

The main reason is that Stones' family moved to Sheffield some time ago. Stones must have to live with his family. Seeing this, Maguire planned to move out and live with his little girlfriend.

After all, it’s not time for everyone to be promoted to the first team. Once you sign a new contract, you don’t lack money. You haven’t been in love before, and it’s very convenient to live together when your home is far away.

But after talking about my girlfriend and her family moved to Sheffield, it would definitely be more comfortable to live with her girlfriend's family.

Only Li Mo is still a "lonely man". After talking about his girlfriend, he can only return to the state of living alone.

"I have nothing to do in the future and come and play more. My parents will have to go back to Sheffield in a few days. Then come and have a meal."

Before leaving, Maguire made a joke with Li Mo. The house he bought was in the neighborhood where Medel was located, not far from Li Mo's small villa. It was indeed very convenient for Li Mo to go to have a meal.

The place where Stones lives is a little farther away, so the child is still a little reluctant to leave.

Li Mo and Maguire usually like to tease him, but their care for him was also solid. If his parents had not moved to Sheffield, he would have really wanted to continue living with Li Mo and the others.

"Okay, I'm meeting and having dinner at the training base every day. It's not that I can't meet anymore. I'm tired of staying with you every day. It's quiet to live alone. Don't slouch your mouth, get out of the way.

”

Li Mo laughed and cursed and diluted the reluctance in Stones and Maguire. After obtaining two middle fingers, the small cargo box started, and Li Mo also stood aside and waved to the two.

It has been two years since he pulled Maguire into a small villa. It has been a long and short period of time. Suddenly, he returned to his own state of living alone, and there was no one around him.

, Li Mo actually needs to adapt again.

Fortunately, everyone has been preparing for the league these days. When they went to the training base the next day, they lost all their worries.

Especially after the confrontation training, Stones, who was tortured to the point of being quarreled with Li Mo, and he didn't look like the child who pouted last night.

Sheffield United is preparing for the battle in full swing, and the English football world has become more and more lively after the winter window is opened.

As the top of the league, there is no large-scale injury wave in Sheffield United, and the bench thickness is enough, so Speed ​​has no intention of signing and strengthening in the winter window.

However, the Manchester City two players below, Tottenham, Chelsea and other teams are not as calm as Sheffield United.

After the winter window opened, these powerful men began to search for targets in the transfer market. Chelsea's Mancini wanted to take Silva away from Manchester City, while Manchester City's Master Bay wanted to find a first-class midfielder from La Liga.

It is said that Manchester City has now talked with Real Madrid about Master Benedict Xavi Alonso, but they just don't know if the news is true.

These are all good things. When Chelsea talked about Silva, they also smashed Newcastle striker Dembaba, who was going to do a big fight after the winter window.

However, Sheffield directly refused the big brother's idea that he would take back De Bruyne here.

Speed ​​even expressed his gratitude to Chelsea, saying that Sheffield United had prepared the check and bought out De Bruyne after the end of this season.

The handsome guy kept sending emails to thank Chelsea for reluctantly giving up. He signed a loan term with Sheffield United with a buyout, which made the person in charge of the Chelsea transfer department very depressed.

The condition for adding a buyout fee of 20 million yuan was purely to let Sheffield United help them train talents, but no one expected that Speed ​​really trained De Bruyne.

During this limited playing time this season, De Bruyne has handed over a total of three goals and seven assists in the league plus the Cup.

Look, most of this season has passed, and De Bruyne is working to double assists in a single season. A new Premier League player who scored this result in the rookie season. Not to mention 20 million, you are even 30 million Chelsea now

Don't want to sell it.

Unfortunately, the initiative is now entirely due to the joint efforts of Sheffield, and De Bruyne personally prefers to stay at Sheffield United. Chelsea suffered another big loss after Matic.

The key player Sheffield United is not taking advantage of the situation. You, Chelsea, don't want Matic, but they took over the position and trained it.

De Bruyne is also what you, Di Matteo, don't want to spend time training, and Speed ​​took over and took it and fed it one after another.

Besides, the transfer is done through the formal process. The transfer fee is generous enough, and it is also paid in one lump sum, so it is impossible to pick out the sting.

It can only be said that both Chelsea coaches lacked some patience, and they blamed the pressure on the top to give too much effort.

After all, the growth of young players requires sacrifice to achieve certain results. Your goal is to win the league championship every year, so naturally there is no way to give young players more room for trial and error.

However, this is true, but the success of Sheffield's success in finding bargains has also attracted the vigilance and attention of major teams.

In the future, it will be not as easy as before for Sheffield United to buy young players from other teams.

After all, the examples of Barnsley and Chelsea are all in front of it. In addition to the core of the organization and the main right-back who were poached from Manchester City's two heroes, sheffield United has really had a free time to get almost half a set of championship lineups.

For players who may have to spend more than 100 million to buy it, Sheffield United finally got it by spending 10 or 20 million, which is so jealous.

Even Sheffield's own fans were joking that the coaching staff saved the club at least 100 million in transfer fees based on their selection vision and training ability.

Many fans even joked that the club's senior management would take out the transfer fee prepared for the winter window this year and give it to the coaching staff as bonuses.

Speed ​​was very happy to hear such news in an interview before the game, saying that he would talk to the club's senior management about the bonus after this round of the game.

The match with Newcastle came in such a relatively relaxed atmosphere.

On the afternoon of January 19, all the main players of Sheffield United team arrived at St. James Park Stadium.

Compared with Sheffield United, which is relaxed by all members, the atmosphere in Newcastle now seems much more solemn.

After the first twenty-two rounds of the league, Newcastle has fallen to the 16th place in the league, and is only three points away from the relegation zone, and has completely become a relegation team.

Before the start of this season, it was hard for Premier League fans to imagine that the Magpies, which once entered the Champions League last season, would fall so quickly.

After leaving the midfield core Kabaye, he left the winter window and Dembaba again. Newcastle, who had just risen for two seasons, was demolished by the powerful.

Looking at the current Newcastle team, Li Mo and the old players of Sheffield United were all sighing.

If Sheffield United had not received a large amount of capital injection last summer, it might not be much better than Newcastle today.

If Drinkwater is poached back by Manchester United, Li Mo and Maguire will leave again. Sheffield United loses the central axis, so wouldn't it be a relegation team?

It can only be said that Sheffield United is lucky at an important moment of development and has reached the mountains. Newcastle did not gain the favor of capital, so the two teams with relatively different results last season have embarked on completely different developments this season.

road.

Newcastle's current top priority is to get enough points and stay in the Premier League first, but Sheffield United lost the characteristic of "robbing the rich and helping the poor" last season.

Sheffield United, who plays weak teams, does not need to sacrifice results anymore, holds hands, and today's game is no exception.

Speed ​​arranged Sheffield's best four-four-two formation.

Bale, Li Mo, and Valdiga Joaquin's offensive foursome all started.

Drinkwater Gamatic's double midfield combination is also safe enough, and the defense line currently ranked first in the Premier League.

Newcastle's home fans were worried when they looked at Sheffield United's starting lineup.

The game that started in the afternoon was just as fans of both sides thought before the game, and was almost robbed of the initiative by Sheffield United at the beginning.

Newcastle, who was the first to kick off the ball, was pushed up by Sheffield United and forced him to hold the ball in a way that he could not hold it. He could only throw it out of the midfield and squat the pit early and put on the bus.

Alampadu has a coaching level. Last season, he was able to bring out such a tough defense and distinctive Newcastle, which has won the love and support of many Magpies fans.

It’s hard to cook without rice. As soon as Tiot and Kabaye left, the midfield lost the barrier and the organizational core, and the winter window left Dembaba again, and the offensive arrows were gone.

For the remaining people in Newcastle, even if you let Mourinho and Guardiola come, you may not be able to combine them into a team with strong combat power.

This season, Alampadu will only lead Newcastle to relegation successfully, and it will definitely not work if he wants to go further.

Because of two midfielders, the midfield defense line collapsed and the defense line could not be hardened. In the previous few rounds of the strong team, Newcastle's defense performed very badly.

Today, Li Mo was not polite at all. He came up and played a 1V1 man battle with Newcastle's central defender Kolocini. Another Newcastle central defender Williamson next to him had to focus most of his attention on Li Mo.

Li Mo directly pulled away the defensive energy of Newcastle's two central defenders. As you can imagine, Valdy and Bale were so happy to steal the chicken.

Newcastle's midfielder was hit and leaked everywhere, and Sheffield United almost always put on Newcastle's defense to organize the pass.

On the left, Bale rushed to Derbych and couldn't take care of himself, while on the right, Joaquin seized the opportunity to continuously transport shells into Newcastle's penalty area.
