.

This arrangement has to make the media and fans who follow Sheffield United think about it.

Although Speed ​​likes Neymar's fighting spirit on the court and his often effective dribbling breakthroughs, his habit of sometimes being too sticky to the ball also troubles Speed.

In the midfield, the player who will serve as the starting central midfielder is not Joaquin as the media speculated before the game, but the younger De Bruyne.

However, they thought that Speed ​​arranged this deliberately, just to see Neymar's performance.

Soon after the start of the first half, Sheffield United steadily controlled the ball, and Neymar got many opportunities to perform, which once disrupted Basel's midfield defense.

He originally wanted De Bruyne to familiarize himself with the central midfielder position, but De Bruyne took the initiative to withdraw to his own half at the beginning, helping Drinkwater quickly stabilize the situation.

Li Mo could feel Neymar's gratitude. He smiled and patted Neymar on the shoulder without saying anything else.

Before the game, Li Mo and other Sheffield United players also expressed their relief to the two Brazilian players.

Anyway, he wanted to see the cooperation of several players on the offensive line today. Since Li Mo is willing to temporarily give up the tactical weight of the main attack, then let him do it.

But when the midfielders press forward, he has to restrain his desire to attack aggressively and provide more protection to the center back line beside him.

"Thank you, thank you, my brother."

He is eager to prove himself in the new team, but he will have some concerns in his heart and rashly change his style. If it doesn't succeed in the end, at his age, there is really no other good place except returning to Atletico Madrid.

Li Mo glanced out of the corner of his eye. At this moment, Basel's entire defense seemed to have moved forward because he was about to get the ball, and looked quite nervous.

After a while, he discovered something strange about Li Mo and Bell.

Speed ​​stood on the sidelines with his arms folded, watching Drinkwater still commanding his teammates to move and respond with ease, and couldn't help but nod subconsciously.

But when Li Mo led the team out and saw the Brazilian media on the sidelines, he knew there was no need to persuade Neymar.

But the moment Li Mo turned around, Neymar chose to pass the ball quickly!

This scene was beyond the expectations of all fans. Basel's center back Safare also quickly ran out of the penalty area, not daring to give Li Mo the space to easily turn around.

Just as Li Mo worked hard in the Premier League with the expectations of the whole country on his back, now Neymar has entered European football with the expectations of all Brazilian fans on his back.

The wide range of running and smooth connection make De Bruyne look more like an all-round midfielder. This enthusiasm and strength make the members of the Sheffield United coaching staff smile.

De Bruyne also gave Speed ​​a surprise.

"Ma'er, today the assistant coach's recording of your stick-to-the-ball action exceeded the standard again. Come on, come on, come and practice confrontation with me. Look at your little arms and legs. How can you tangle with defensive players in the Premier League in the future if you don't have a good body?

?Stop hiding, I will be gentler today, hehehe~"

After all, Sheffield United does not lack offensive firepower now, so he needs to devote more energy to the defensive end, help Bell have a good situation, and at the same time help Matic on the left relieve some defensive pressure.

Speed ​​valued him and was willing to give him enough time to change and adapt. Felipe Luis was very moved and naturally became more actively involved in running in with his new teammates.

He was very touched. Li Mo had been helping him since he joined the team, and today he even offered to let him be the protagonist in the friendly match. This kind of ambition made him completely convinced from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing Li Mo's confident look, Speed ​​handed over the matter to him with suspicion.

Neymar and Felipe Luis both got the chance to start, and Speed ​​set up a 4-2-3-1 formation. The focus was still to see how the team's new offensive combination would work.

Practicing against Li Mo has almost become a punishment at Sheffield United. Neymar's small body will definitely be "fresh in his mind" if he practices with Li Mo two or three times.

As a result, just two days later, Neymar’s behavior of sticking to the ball on the court has really reduced a lot!

Under such circumstances, the two completed the warm-up, gradually let go of their hands and feet, and made several bold cooperations with each other.

He has no way out and no reason why he can't play out. Time is the most luxurious thing for him.

Therefore, Speed ​​needs him to become more "calm". When Matic or other defensive midfielders are behind him, it doesn't matter if he actively steps forward to fight with the opponent's offensive players.

This is Li Mo's "hand-picked" passer, and he can play from both sides, so Speed ​​naturally wants to place him as close to Li Mo as possible.

In the fourteenth minute of the first half, Neymar, who looked very "alone", once again made trouble on the right wing.

After all, this is just a friendly match. They don't value it as much as outside public opinion, and they still don't want to put too much psychological pressure on their new teammates.

Felipe Luis is even more happy. In next year's local World Cup, they are counting on a more mature Neymar to step up and lead them to the end.

And seeing that his teammates treat Neymar so sincerely, he is even more confident about his future at Sheffield United!

After everyone dispersed with laughter, Li Mo put his arm around Neymar's shoulders and spoke to him boldly and firmly:

"From today, from here, Nene, let's conquer the world together!"
