While Li Mozheng and his teammates who have no national competition obligations are working hard to prepare for the follow-up games, the wars for the World Cup preliminaries on all continents are almost raging.

Led the British team to achieve sound victories in the two World Cup qualifying matches in March. After a 9-0 victory over San Marino, they also won a 3-1 away game against Montenegro, further consolidating their top position in the group.

.

Among them, the outstanding performance of Maguire and Drinkwater won unanimous praise from the fans of the United Kingdom.

Carrick finally breathed a sigh of relief after returning to the national team.

It feels much better to partner with Drinkwater. Brother Drinkwater is active in defense, willing to help with dirty work, has strong organizational skills, and speaks well. He really likes playing with Brother Drinkwater!

Maguire's stable performance allowed Huo Taigong to temporarily forget the troubles of Terry and Ferdinand both withdrawing from the national team.

Although it seems at this stage that Ferdinand can bring back the British team to partner with Maguire is the best choice.

But on the premise that the midfield barrier becomes stable again, Maguire and Jagielka, or partnering with Smalling, are still okay.

At least it doesn't look bad so far. With Drinkwater, Carrick or Gerrard in front of him, Maguire's delaying effect is very effective.

The game against Montenegro fully demonstrated the defensive stability of the British team.

Huo Taigong's formation of 4,231 made Montenegro's forward group miserable.

Both Vucinic and Jovetic were annoyed by Drinkwater's little defensive moves.

The two of them had no luck when facing Maguire. Vucinic and Maguire faltered after two confrontations. Their slightly thin bodies could not withstand the heavy defensive pressure.

With the defense in the backcourt solid, Rooney took the cake made by Drinkwater and Milner and scored twice in the first half.

After scoring five goals in two consecutive games for the national team, Lu Xiaopang felt extremely comfortable and at the same time lamented the pity.

Such a good midfielder and defender turned out to be from someone else. It would be great if he could only play for the national team!

You don't need to frequently drop back to play in the midfield. You have Heibei as your tool and human shield. You only need to catch the ball and eat the pie and occasionally attack the opponent's defense. How easy this life is!

However, the happy time is always short-lived. After the game against Montenegro, Lu Xiaopang could only say goodbye to Maguire and the others. After a short break, everyone had to devote themselves to preparations for the league.

.

Seeing players who had finished playing for the national team one after another return to the team, Speed's heart finally calmed down.

Except for Medel, who had the longest round trip and needed two days of rest, the rest of the players devoted themselves to recovery training after a day of rest.

Speed ​​would like to let these players rest more, but the schedule waits for no one.

On the 30th, Sheffield United will go to an away game to challenge Arsenal. The time is indeed a bit tight, so we can only work hard for the players at this important moment.

Sheffield United had some complaints about the schedule of having to fight a league game before the Champions League. However, before the players and coaching staff could express their opinions, Sheffield United fans got into full fire.

"After playing Arsenal on March 30, we will go to Munich to play Bayern on April 3. Can't the FA be accommodating and postpone this round of the league?"

"Those senior executives are only thinking about the answer! We are playing in the Champions League to gain European points for the Premier League. Their vision is really too short-sighted! If Manchester United had passed Real Madrid in the last round, they would definitely have been granted a league postponement!"

"You guys are just fucking farting! Didn't we have this kind of schedule before? Why, we can play, but you Sheffield United can't?"

"After playing against Arsenal, you still have three days to rest. You won't start the match against Bayern until the evening of the 3rd. I don't know what to complain about!"

As soon as the Sheffield United fans started shouting, in addition to the other fans watching the excitement, the Manchester United fans who were hit by the area damage couldn't sit still and quickly stood up and counterattacked in a weird way.

While the two sides were quarreling fiercely, Arsenal fans were secretly chuckling and just held up a banner to directly thank the FA.

The schedule this time is so well arranged!

Regardless of whether Sheffield United wants to compete with Bayern or not, they have already reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League. They must not be able to justify their failure, right?

Regardless of whether it is proactive or passive, Sheffield United can only devote most of its energy to the next Champions League battle.

So Arsenal fans just feel like they got a big deal this time.

I can't beat your Sheffield United first team, so why can't I get points if I beat your Sheffield United second team at home?

Everton fans suddenly panicked.

They are still waiting for Sheffield United to snipe Arsenal and lift them back to the top six.

If Arsenal gets past Sheffield United in this round, it will be basically a smooth road except for playing Manchester United!

Judging from Arsenal's performance in the final sprint in past seasons, it was an explosive existence in order to compete for a place in the Champions League.

Everton haven't played in the European competition for a long time, so they are looking forward to playing in the Europa League next year.

After holding on to sixth place for most of the season, he was kicked down by Arsenal at the last moment. Who can bear this!

So Everton fans began to call on Sheffield United for fair play online.

You can't just beat Everton some time ago and now you're letting Arsenal off the hook, right?

The Liverpool fans immediately became energetic when they saw what the Everton fans said.

Liverpool have no hope of getting a spot in the European Cup next season, but no matter who wants to cause trouble for Everton, Liverpool must help!

In this melee between fans from three parties, Sheffield United rarely announced the starting lineup for the 30th round of the Premier League match in advance on March 29.

No Bale, no Maguire, no Drinkwater

With the exception of Limo Gavardi, who is holding the line, almost no players from Sheffield United's first team made it into the starting lineup.

Everton fans howled suddenly, Liverpool fans left with satisfaction, and Arsenal players and fans knelt down in the living room three times in a row overnight!

Since Li Mo has no national team competition duties, his appearance in this round of the league did not surprise the outside world, but everyone guessed that Speed ​​would only send Li Mo to warm up in the first half.

After all, if you beat Bayern, you have to rely on Li Mo to exert his strength on the offensive end. Sheffield United's coaching staff will not be stupid enough to let their ace forward consume 90 minutes of physical fitness before the big game.

On the afternoon of the 30th, when the starting lineups of both teams came out, Li Mo was not in the starting eleven as expected. Speed ​​finally chose to have Li Mo on standby on the bench.

Vardy, Berbatov, and Kuyt started together as a striker today.

Dembele, Montgomery and Joaquin serve as the three midfielders.

Cresswell, Stones, Chris Morgan and Matthew Lowton sit in defence.

Sommer has no problem with his physical fitness and condition and continues to serve as the starting goalkeeper.

This rotation lineup still poses a great threat on the offensive end, but there may be some hidden dangers on the defensive end.

After all, the midfield strangulation tactic that Sheffield United was most proud of in the past can no longer be used. Montgomery is now in a semi-retirement state. It is unrealistic for him to continue to pressure the defense like last season.

So looking at Dembele as the main defensive force in the midfield, Speed ​​finally decided not to defend at all. He used Dembele as a premise and formed a double engine in the midfield with Joaquín to play an offensive game with Arsenal.

!

Since it can't be defended, then maximize your own advantage on the offensive end. Three forwards plus two offensive midfielders are enough to give Arsenal a drink.

Besides, Li Mo is still sitting off the field. If Arsenal's play is "overdone", the worst case scenario is that Li Mo will be allowed to play for 45 minutes in the second half. Then we will see if Arsenal's defense can withstand it.

!

Speed's calculation was crackling, and Wenger frowned slightly when he saw Sheffield United's starting lineup, looking a little confused.

Originally, Wenger planned to exploit Sheffield United's midfield instability in this game to make a fuss.

Arsenal were in urgent need of points, so Wenger naturally wanted to stabilize the situation and control the situation until the end of the game with a score of 1-0 or 2-0. In this way, they would gain points and give Sheffield United face.

.

But looking at it now, Speed ​​is not willing to give up three points directly. He is ready to fight Arsenal. Will Arsenal accept the move?

Arsenal may not be afraid of following up on the attack, but there are hidden dangers. Who knows if this group of Sheffield United forwards will explode if they are in top form?

But don't take it, just wait for Sheffield United to press forward and try to counterattack, which is not the style of Arsenal and Wenger.

Besides, if you want to fight back, you still have to have the capital you can afford.

Sheffield United are good at counterattacking because they have a strong backbone and are not afraid of pressure from other teams.

But Arsenal’s current orthodox midfielder combination is Arteta and Ramsey.

Sheffield United really had to have five attacking players attack at the same time. If Berbatov turned his back and took the ball, Arteta could only watch.

After a moment of melancholy, Wenger finally had to take over Speed's move and made tactical gestures to prepare his disciples for a clash with Sheffield United.

So after the game started, as soon as the players from both sides ended the trial period, they immediately entered the exciting stage of opening up their posture and attacking.

Under the fast-paced transition between offense and defense, the offensive clusters of Sheffield United and Arsenal launched threatening offensives many times in just over ten minutes. The fans at the scene felt their hearts beat faster and felt it was both enjoyable and exciting!

On Sheffield United's side, Vardy's performance on the left wing is the most outstanding. He always takes the lead in counterattacks and has a strong foot for long shots.

If Sagna hadn't followed closely and not allowed Vardy to comfortably enter the Arsenal penalty area, Poland national goalkeeper Szczesny might have been tested by Vardy's shooting skills.

For Arsenal, Podolski and Gervinho are the most active on the offensive end.

After all, it can be regarded as a bankrupt version of two wings flying together. It is definitely not as good as Bayern's Robbery combination. It will be a huge threat to Sheffield United's rotating defense.

Montgomery's defensive awareness is still there, but his speed and confrontation ability have dropped a bit too quickly, and the protection of the two wings is not very good, allowing Gervinho to show off his power in Sheffield United's backcourt.

Maybe it was because the Hot Birds just didn't have a short-circuit in their brains today, and they distributed the ball in time after the breakthrough, feeding several balls to Giroud who was stuck in position.

Giroud still had an advantage against veteran Chris Morgan. Even if Stones' defensive interference was timely, he found several opportunities to turn around and shoot.

However, Sommer's status was online today, which meant that Arsenal had a few more effective shots and managed to keep a clean sheet in the first 30 minutes of the game.

But in the 34th minute of the first half, Arsenal still relied on patient conduct to find a defensive gap on the left side of Sheffield United's penalty area. Podolski took the lead and scored, breaking the deadlock on the field.
