Chapter 310 After the hustle and bustle, the league sprint(1/3)
"De Bruyne made a perfect cross to the ground! Bell! Absolutely a good opportunity! The angle of the goal is a bit small, but it is no problem for Bell. Let's see. Bell's inverted triangle! Li Mo pushed the ball!
Goal——!!!Sheffield United’s winning goal came!
It was Sheffield United's classic quick counterattack! De Bruyne, Bale, Li Mo! They used their superb passing skills and super speed to instantly pass the Swansea defense! Li Mo scored twice
! Speed ran to his disciples from the sidelines! Sheffield United only have the last thirty minutes left before they win their first championship trophy of the new season!"
In Zhan Jun's high-pitched and passionate commentary, the Chinese audience could clearly see that the entire Wembley Stadium had completely become a place of carnival celebration for Sheffield United fans!
Almost all the players, coaches, and staff on the Sheffield United bench rushed out and ran straight towards Li Mo and the others who were holding hands and celebrating near the corner flag area, and even more so than them.
Naturally, the players who are one step faster are the Sheffield United players.
This time Li Mo did not keep his teammates calm. He, Bell and De Bruyne opened their arms and laughed to receive hugs from teammates one after another.
Speed also completely lost his graceful demeanor at this moment. After throwing himself on the players, he raised his arms and roared loudly at the stands, just like the high-spirited look he had twenty years ago!
"First crown! First win the League Cup, then the league, and finally the FA Cup! We will dominate England this year!"
Vardy didn't know when he grabbed Li Mo's arm and threw himself on Li Mo's back, clamoring to win three important championships in English football this year.
"Is it just this year? Jamie, you have become less courageous. At least you have to win three consecutive league championships, and then win three consecutive FA Cup championships!"
Drinkwater's teasing attracted the approval of many Sheffield United players, and Speed also laughed and cursed a few times.
These little bastards haven't even won a league championship yet, but they want to win three consecutive league championships. They really think they are Manchester United's replacements!
"Don't give them a chance! We must hold victory firmly in our hands. If something unexpected happens later, just wait until you return to Harun'er Base for additional training!"
Finally, after jokingly reminding the players, Speed tidied up his slightly messy clothes and left the center of the celebration together with the assistant coach.
At this time, as coaches, they must remain calm, watch the opponent's adjustments, and then make the final tactical decision.
Let the stage of celebration be left to the players who are fighting hard on the field. Anyway, with Li Mo, Drinkwater and Maguire on the court, Sheffield United's players will not lose their minds and vigilance.
Although they celebrated passionately, they were also the ones who most wanted to win the championship trophy.
Arrogance and arrogance do not belong to the final winner. Speed believes that his disciples have deeply understood this truth.
Li Mo also took the time to hold a short meeting with his teammates at the end. Before the 80th minute of the game, Swansea still had strong motivation to counterattack, and their physical fitness was enough to support their crazy final two games.
About ten minutes.
It is impossible for Sheffield United to enter a defensive mode at this moment, so now everyone must cheer up.
Everyone has to make sacrifices for the final victory, including Li Mo, who will also actively retreat later to help his teammates in the midfield fight for defense. At such a last moment, no one in the Sheffield United team
People have tactical prerogatives.
"It's time to return to defense. Help the brothers around you to watch the opponent's movements, remind each other, and supplement each other's defense until Swansea's counterattack power is exhausted! Defeat them and get back that damn championship trophy! We
Let’s party again when we go back to Sheffield!”
Li Mo made his last mobilization on the pitch, and the Sheffield United players roared that they would definitely beat Swansea to death.
When the game restarted, Swansea had no way out and could only devote all their energy to offense. Sheffield United launched a fierce and fierce battle with Swansea in the midfield and on the wings!
Li Mo's retreat helped Joaquin share a lot of defensive pressure. Even with Swansea's desperate attack, the reinforcement of the central defense allowed Sheffield United to still protect the safety of its own defensive third zone.
This kind of pressing defense allowed Sheffield United to gain many good counterattack opportunities again. However, because of Li Mo's return defense, the frontcourt lacked a fulcrum, and Sheffield United's counterattack looked more like leading from the wing.
The ball consumes time.
This is indeed the case. Swansea is crazy about speeding up, so Sheffield United will naturally try every means to control the rhythm.
The game is about to enter the 70th minute. Sheffield United is leading by two goals. At this time, you have to use delaying tactics. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. This is a normal part of the football field. No matter which team is playing in the final, it will be the same.
Make the same choice as Sheffield United.
Speed was not idle at the moment. Seeing that the substitute players on the sidelines were almost warming up, he took advantage of the time and made two substitutions in a row at the 72nd minute. He replaced Matthew Lowton with Medel, and then replaced him with Denton.
Belle replaced Joaquín.
Both the right wing and the midfield were replaced by fresh forces, increasing the area of coverage and interference. Speed's decisive adjustment made Swansea's hope of equalizing extremely slim.
What's even more irritating is that Sheffield United are still unwilling to back down on defense and are still consuming Swansea's offensive power and physical fitness in the midfield.
This makes it impossible for Swansea's players to play long passes. After all, taking the ball from the backcourt is not as threatening as taking the ball calmly in the middle.
Laudrup had no choice but to replace two forwards at once, and removed Pablo Hernandez and midfielder Britton who had not had many opportunities in this game.
Coupled with Routledge and Nathan Dyer on the wings, Swansea almost sent five offensive players in Sheffield United's half!
This is a life-and-death struggle. Once Swansea attacks, there will be almost only Ki Sung-yung and Monk left behind in the backcourt. Ashley Williams will have to enter the Sheffield United penalty area to act as the backcourt.
Battering ram.
When Li Mo and Drinkwater saw this, they no longer hesitated and directly commanded their teammates to start shrinking the defensive line.
Speed, who was sitting on the coaching bench, stood up. He couldn't sit still anymore and walked directly to the sidelines to direct and adjust the positions of the backcourt players.
Swansea's aggressive pressure at the last minute put a lot of defensive pressure on Sheffield United, but after the two sides played several offensive and defensive rounds, Sheffield United's defensive players became more confident.
The new forwards brought in by Swansea are all dexterous offensive players under 1.8 meters tall. However, in Sheffield United's crowded backcourt at the moment, there is almost no room for such offensive players to perform.
After all, there were people everywhere. Sheffield United's defensive players and Swansea's offensive players blocked Sheffield United's half.
Not to mention grabbing points, as soon as the ball reaches the wing, Swansea must quickly pass the ball into the Sheffield United penalty area, otherwise the Sheffield United players will immediately rush in front of the passer to interfere with pressure.
Under this rhythm, the quality of the high-altitude crosses sent by Swansea was worrying. Maguire stood in the penalty area like a god, overturning a number of Swansea players who were trying to grab points.
After bombing for a long time, it had no effect at all. Upon seeing this, Laudrup tried to ask his players to play a little more patiently, and to conduct more pulling on the outside of Sheffield United's defense.
But when the game passed the 80th minute, the situation on the field was no longer under his control.
Swansea's players were playing more and more impatiently. If Li Mo hadn't returned to the defense to concentrate on assisting his teammates in defense, Sheffield United might have been able to produce several high-quality counterattacks.
And in the 86th minute, Speed finally played the last card in his hand.
"Stones is getting ready to play! And we can see on the electronic card that the number 9 that Stones replaced is Sheffield United's No. 9, Li Mo! Speed is going to be accepted by Li Mo alone at the last moment.
An opportunity for Sheffield United fans to applaud! As the biggest contributor to Sheffield United’s victory in this game, Li Mo is about to bring another championship trophy to his team. He deserves such a moment and deserves all Sheffield United supporters.
of love!”
"Well done to Xiao Li! He scored twice in this game, broke the deadlock with one goal, and killed the game with one goal. He was reliable at the critical moment."
Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu happily watched Li Mo receiving a standing ovation from the Sheffield United fans, and their hearts felt very clear and relaxed.
Speed also gave Li Mo a strong hug on the sidelines. The master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled without saying anything. They seemed to have a perfect understanding.
After high-fiving his teammates on the bench, Li Mo finally sat down next to Vardy, rubbed his head and told him to work hard for the next league game.
Having played in the Champions League and League Cup finals, Speed will definitely rotate most of today's starting players in the next league game.
On the offensive line, Joaquin and De Bruyne should still be able to play, but Bell and he will definitely have to stay at home to rest.
"When the time comes, just promise a few more big meals and ask Kevin and Joaquin to pass the ball to you. Dimita will also pass the ball to you when he sees your position. This is all an opportunity. You have to
Stand up!"
Listening to Li Mo's instigation, Vardy also fantasized about killing everyone in his next league game.
His requirements are not high and he doesn't expect any hat tricks. If he can score two goals, he will be happy.
Now his league goals have just reached double figures. There are only twelve games left in the league. Excluding rotation games, he should have about ten chances to play. If he scores five goals, he can reach the goal he boasted before the season.
The goal.
And just when Vardy thought that he would eventually reach the top ten in the Premier League scorer list, and then be called up to lead the British team to participate in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, a whistle interrupted his dream.
"Oh oh oh——!!! Let's go get the championship trophy, Jamie!"
Li Mo put his arm around Vardy's neck and burst into the field laughing with his teammates!
The Sheffield United fans at the scene hugged and cheered to celebrate their first championship of the season. At this moment, in Sheffield, almost the entire city was also involved in the carnival.
When Sheffield United won the championship, it was around six o'clock in the afternoon in England, which can be said to be the beginning of the prime time for rest and entertainment.
Therefore, the bars in the streets and alleys of Sheffield were almost full at this moment. Sheffield United fans gathered together to toast the team's another championship. The cars on the street also started honking their horns. Young Sheffield United
United fans rushed to the streets cheering, it was so lively.
Although it is not as shocking as last season's nearly 100,000 fans rallying in the streets, they are so "mobilized" because of their victory in the League Cup. Sheffield United can be regarded as one of the weirder ones among today's Premier League powers.
Many fans of other teams expressed bitterly on social networks that Sheffield United are still a country bumpkin at heart, and how could they create such a big scene just because they won the League Cup.
But the facts have proved that output against the wind will never end well. Many fans who were angry were scolded by the excited Sheffield United fans. Coupled with Li Mo's increasingly large fan base, who dares to be angry?
Sheffield United, then you have to be prepared to fight a group of people.
After Sheffield United won the League Cup and received the trophy, they boarded the plane directly back to Manchester, and then took the bus sent by the club from Manchester back to Sheffield, saving a lot of time and directly catching up with the club's event that night.
Celebration banquet.
Wang Mu greeted each of the heroes who won the championship in person with a smile, and finally pulled Speed affectionately. I don’t know what the two communicated, but in the end the old handsome guy returned to his seat with a smile on his face.
In terms of food and drink, except for the players who are going to play in the league in two days and need to pay attention, the other players who are about to have at least two days of vacation have no restrictions.
In addition to still not drinking, Li Mo has also relaxed a lot in terms of food. He can eat happily when celebrating, and continue to be strict with himself during the preparation period.
The highlight of the celebration banquet is naturally the moment when bonuses are distributed.
Wang Mu didn't say anything nonsense and directly asked the staff around him to bring up two suitcases. On behalf of the club's senior management, he personally distributed generous bonuses to every player, coaching staff and staff.
