Chapter 359: Your third boss in the Bundesliga is not good enough, call your boss out!

On September 17th at 19:45 pm local time in Europe, the first round of the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League group stage officially started.

A total of sixteen teams showed up today, and as many as eight Champions League group matches were played at the same time. Teams from the five major leagues participated, which was enough for fans from different audiences to slowly choose their favorite games.

As the most watched team in Group A of the Death Group, and also the leading team representing the Premier League this year, Sheffield United has naturally attracted the attention of many fans.

Sheffield United's chaotic performance in the group stage last season is still fresh in the memory of many fans.

After all, over the years, it is really rare for a "rookie" like Sheffield United to kill everyone in the Champions League for the first time.

This summer Sheffield United completed another round of reinforcements. On paper, their current starting lineup has no weaknesses.

Fans from all walks of life also want to see how far Sheffield United has grown.

"Speed's arrangement today is very safe. Although it is still a four-three-three formation, Sheffield United plays Medel in the central midfielder position. This is completely different from our prediction before the game. At that time, Director Zhang thought

Speed ​​will join Joaquin. I personally think De Bruyne is more suitable, but now it seems that Speed ​​​​still wants to strengthen his sweeping and interception capabilities in the middle and drag the game into Sheffield United's favorite and most familiar team.

Come to the rhythm!”

After the game started, Zhan Jun looked at Medel's familiar aggressive sweeping defense and quickly understood Speed's tactical intention today.

Matic, who was observing behind them, decisively stretched out his long legs to steal the ball, and then directly passed the ball diagonally to Drinkwater who started to advance forward.

"But if we press forward, once Sheffield United's defense cannot be penetrated, Leverkusen will have to bear the pressure of being beaten on counterattacks and conceding the ball at all times and attack with gritted teeth. This is very mentally draining for the players!

"

"Nene! Nene! If you have a chance, take the ball more and hit their midfielders and full-backs. The midfielder on your side is Rolfes. He is old and can't keep up with his pace.

Come on, force him to commit more fouls!"

As a result, Hyypia transformed into another talented young coach in Europe because of this opportunity.

At this moment, he no longer cared about whether he would be given a yellow dot by the referee because of this. He just wanted to stop Li Mo's follow-up shot first!

Hyypia feels so fucked.

Playing a double defensive midfielder doesn't mean putting in two players of the same type and that's it. It means forming a complementary combination, a whole that doesn't seem to have many weaknesses.

The two wide players have also moved inward a lot, allowing them to increase speed during counterattacks. However, during the stalemate phase, these two wide players will move closer to the center to assist in defense.

So Hyypia doesn't have much pressure on him now. It's very reasonable for him to set up a bus to counterattack in away games!

Li Mo and Maguire, who were ambushing at the back point, overpowered their respective opponents and jumped to the top!

At this moment, Hyypia felt that his heart had stopped beating for half a beat, and the entire Bramall Lane stadium was instantly filled with a lot of screams and exclamations!

It was almost impossible to see who hit the ball. Leno quickly stepped on the ground to save the ball and slightly changed the trajectory of the ball with his fingertips at the critical moment.

He also said that after watching this set-piece defense, he further tried to control Sheffield United's offensive methods, and the result was a Sheffield United goal!

Hyypia also frowned and stood up from the coaching bench. He turned his head suspiciously and glanced at Speed, who was already standing on the sidelines.

Spasic, an experienced veteran central defender, subconsciously put his hands on Li Mo's shoulders.

But once you fall into Sheffield United's counter-attack rhythm, life will be worse than death!

Anyway, we just don’t give Sheffield United the opportunity to easily hit the frontcourt and quickly counterattack!

Vertonghen and Matic took off from the front point and the center of the goal respectively, directly dismantling the integrity of Leverkusen's entire defense line.

Under the jersey that was fluttering in the wind, his abdominal muscles were as strong as steel. This scene made many female fans go crazy again!

After landing, Li Mo shook his head slightly. He looked so arrogant!

At this point, it is really not the players of Sheffield United and Speed ​​who underestimate Leverkusen. This is a very real problem.

In other words, even if Medel's footwork in sending the ball over the top is a bit rough, as long as the general direction is correct, the speed of Li Mo and Bell will be enough to catch up and complete the threatening counterattack.

The abacus is loud enough, but neutral fans don't care at all. It's just a gimmick and fun to watch.

Just scored a goal?!

After watching the referee signal that the goal was valid, Speed ​​quickly changed from a state of surprise to ecstatic laughter.

It is worth mentioning that after the end of his first season in the Bundesliga, Hyypia, who is about to turn 37, was selected into the Bundesliga's best team for the 2009-10 season, which is not easy.

Leverkusen's double central midfielder is the same as Sheffield United's Medel, who can return to play as a defensive midfielder at any time.

Li Mo's goal was expected, and Sheffield United's lead did not surprise them, but Son Heung-min's outstanding performance really surprised them.

But where the live broadcast cameras couldn't take care of it, Li Mo raised the corners of his mouth and winked at Neymar, indicating that he had done a good job.

Not to mention Hyypia's confused look, even Speed's eyes widened, looking uncertain!

Sixteenth minute of the first half! First set-piece attempt! Sheffield United’s second shot of the game!

Sheffield United is confident of winning at home, and they have chosen the best formation at the moment, which will completely disrupt Leverkusen's organization and tactical layout in the midfield.

Following the referee's whistle, Drinkwater took a run and sent a pass with a wide arc!

Try to draw with Sheffield United in the first round, then fight against Real Sociedad, and then look at Juventus' results in the first two rounds to see if they should continue to fight.

Sky Sports' special guest today directly invited Alan Shearer. Not surprisingly, after Sheffield United took the lead, Shearer directly spoke and concluded that Sheffield United won.

On major sports forums in China, fans are having heated discussions at the moment. Leverkusen's head coach Hyypia is no stranger to many old Premier League fans.

It's because they will start the counterattack earlier!

A very classic Bell-style one-stop performance from the wing. After the speed and passion, Bell did not wait for any reaction from Leverkusen goalkeeper Leno and decisively swept the ball towards the back of the Leverkusen goal!

Li Mo's figure, which had been hidden about half a step behind Toprak who was returning to defense, suddenly burst out and accelerated. The tacit understanding with Bell allowed him to make the most correct sprint decision at this moment.

After all, when Sheffield United had no money, Speed ​​also relied on his ability to identify people and hunt for people everywhere.

From the perspective of football-savvy fans, the confrontation between the two coaches has officially begun since Hyypia's quick adjustment.

But Bell, who is accelerating, is not so easy to catch.

This time they not only want to earn the traffic of two Asian players, but also the traffic of two popular young coaches.

But on the other hand, he is also a supporter of Li Mo and Sheffield United, so his mood at this moment is both happy and regretful, just like when he usually commentates on games between Liverpool and Sheffield United.

The tactic of using the defensive midfielder to destroy the opponent's organization is not a new one, but the most fatal thing about Sheffield's joint use is not the pure destruction.

However, Sheffield United's backcourt defense is not that easy. After figuring out some of Son Heung-min's extraordinary habits, the ruthless people in Sheffield United's backcourt will not continue to give him a chance to perform.

However, pharmaceutical companies will not spend huge transfer fees to complete large-scale signings like Sheffield United. Bundesliga policy does not allow it.

In addition to trusting the offensive players, the Finns can only pray that the defense can be stronger at this moment, but don't let Sheffield United seize the opportunity to penetrate again!

But Hyypia was well prepared. Sheffield United were not in a hurry to attack, and he was even less in a hurry to direct the players to press out.

"Fake!"

The Sheffield United players now felt a lot more confident. After finishing their celebration, they trotted back to their own half with confidence.

You know, Neymar and Berco are both at Sheffield United now.

The rest of the Sheffield United players followed closely and celebrated this "unexpected" goal!

Winger Sam on the other side of Leverkusen only made a small splash when faced with the attack from Matic and Bale, but it was quickly extinguished. As soon as the attack on both wings died down, Leverkusen

Mori then only had the option of hitting the middle.

Hyypia could only buy some people in Xia Chuang on a small scale. Fortunately, it seems that the new players are performing well, and he has further cemented his nickname.

He patted his chest, roared, jumped up high, and then turned around with a fist pump!

The reason is very simple. The media writes in enough detail and reports enough times. Even if you are not interested, you can remember the general content after seeing relevant reports a few times.

This kind of pass is what the defender dislikes the most when it comes to positioning the ball, but it is very helpful for the attacker to complete the challenge for the top goal!

"Come on, Seamaster, support Bayer Leverkusen in overthrowing Sheffield United!"

Speed ​​made a fist with his right hand and hit the palm of his left hand hard.

If after thirty-five minutes of the first half, Leverkusen still has nothing to gain on the offensive end, he will shrink his formation.

Behind Dembele there will be Matic, Drinkwater, Medel, and even two outstanding full-backs to wipe his butt.

At this moment, Leverkusen was eager to attack, and he had more opportunities accordingly. Facing the defense of Trippier and Drinkwater, he used his speed to take advantage at the beginning.

But this time, Leno just got up from the ground and had no time to make another spectacular save. He could only watch the football roll into the goal he was guarding!

The exclamations at the scene almost seamlessly turned into loud cheers at this moment!

The huge carnival sound swept across the entire stadium instantly like a tsunami, beating the fans of Leverkusen to pieces!

What about Leverkusen? Expect two tall defensive midfielders to withstand Sheffield United's counterattack?

After Neymar received the ball, he signaled Trippier to slow down first, and then he slowly started to advance, moving in towards Leverkusen's veteran midfielder Rolfes!

This time Neymar didn't have any extra fancy moves. He relied on his faster pace to use continuous changes of direction to overpower Rolfes.

Isn't this the blessing of the goddess of good luck?

But the fans of Speed ​​and Sheffield United don't dislike this kind of luck at all, and they can't wait for more of it!

The mistake was a mistake, and Leverkusen's players therefore put more energy into the counterattack, trying to prove themselves.

Zhan Jun spoke to Speed, but in his heart he also felt deeply sorry for Hypia.
