Chapter 379 Brother Huang She, are you serious?

Speed ​​attaches great importance to this game. After all, if we win Real Sociedad, Sheffield United's mission in the Champions League group stage will be basically completed in advance.

With three consecutive wins and nine points, the remaining three teams still have to work hard. Sheffield United's lead in the group will only further expand.

By the second round, Sheffield United basically only need to win one more game to secure the first place in the qualifying round.

By then Speed ​​can focus more on the league and domestic cup competitions.

Using a rotating lineup to play the remaining Champions League games can not only save the physical energy of the main players, but also allow the rotating players to familiarize themselves with the rhythm of the Champions League as soon as possible. Why not?

Most Sheffield United players think so too.

After establishing an early lead in the group stage last season, Sheffield United used a rotating lineup in subsequent games.

Although I was assigned to the "death group" this year.

But judging from the results of the first two games, these group opponents are more difficult to deal with than last year, but they still cannot destroy Sheffield United's goal of qualifying first in the group.

Leverkusen and Juventus have already passed, what kind of trouble can you, Real Sociedad, make?

But Li Mo had a different view from his teammates at this time.

Putting aside the fact that Real Sociedad likes "upsets", Li Mo pays more attention to several players in Real Sociedad's team.

"Carlos Vela, Griezmann, Bravo. This team was truly worthy of its reputation last year when it finished fourth in La Liga."

When he saw the familiar faces from the team next door in the tunnel before the game, Li Mo couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

At the end of 2013, Carlos Vela had already ushered in the stage of explosive statistics. Last season, he was famous in La Liga with "14+9" luxurious statistics.

The names of the other two are not well known to the majority of fans.

But Li Mo knows that Griezmann and Bravo are the real "big Buddhas" hidden in the small temple of Real Sociedad.

Needless to say, Griezmann is one of the strong candidates for the third man in football in the future.

He unfortunately missed the opportunity to break Melo's monopoly on the Ballon d'Or in 2016.

If Atletico Madrid won the Champions League final that year, and if France won the European Cup final that year, then he would be a well-deserved winner of the Ballon d'Or.

It's a pity that sometimes, this person's luck is just a little bit worse.

Griezmann failed to pass the test of fate, so he was buried among the third players in football, with little chance of making a splash.

Another Bravo, this "late bloomer" short goalkeeper will also win a Grand Slam honor in Barcelona in the future.

More importantly, in Li Mo's memory, this guy helped the Chilean team win two Copa America championships in two years.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is a winner in life.

Carlos Vela looks great now, but in terms of explosive potential, he is definitely not as good as these two.

When Speed ​​deployed targeted defensive tactics before the game, he focused on Carlos Vela's side.

Li Mo privately told Drinkwater to be careful with Griezmann.

And he has a reason too.

Griezmann played 35 games for Real Sociedad last season and posted 11 goals and 3 assists.

This is already a pretty good season performance for a young winger.

Griezmann was also Real Sociedad's second goalscorer last season, so Li Mo asked Drinkwater and Matic to pay more attention to Griezmann's performance, which naturally makes sense.

As for Bravo, Li Mo will naturally have to go into battle to solve the problem.

This old guy is extremely capable of saving penalty kicks, has quick reactions, and has good footwork skills, but Li Mo is still extremely confident in his victory.

Bravo is excellent, but it is nothing compared to names like Cech, De Gea and Buffon.

Li Mo has personally broken through the gates guarded by the above-mentioned goalkeepers more than once.

He values ​​Bravo, not because he is worried, but because he respects every opponent he competes with, that's all.

At this moment, the young Griezmann didn't know that Li Mo next door was wary of his performance.

He was secretly glancing at Li Mo, sighing at Li Mo's youth while constantly suppressing the excitement in his heart.

Yes, it's exciting.

Today Griezmann is still a supernova in La Liga.

Although he does not have a great reputation in the world, he has become famous within La Liga.

His outstanding performances in consecutive seasons at Real Sociedad have helped him attract the attention of many big clubs.

In this case, Griezmann needs to have "excellent results" to increase his worth.

But of course you won't be able to win any decent championships if you stay at Real Sociedad.

Therefore, outstanding performance against strong teams is the "honor" that Griezmann can best offer.

In the first two rounds of the Champions League, Real Sociedad suffered consecutive defeats.

Except for Vela who scored a goal in the second round and saved some face, the other Real Sociedad players had no commendable performance.

Therefore, Griezmann was also very anxious.

This battle with Sheffield United is not only a self-redemption battle for Real Sociedad, but also a famous battle that Griezmann believes is almost perfect!

Just imagine, when the team was on the verge of being eliminated, a young forward stepped forward, defeated a more powerful enemy, and helped the team retain the hope of qualifying.

What a sensation that would cause!

In the Champions League, a highly influential event, every time such an example occurs, it will be praised by fans for a long time.

And Griezmann wants to be the protagonist, the only protagonist in this kind of story!

Otherwise, how could there be any chance of becoming famous quickly?

Suppressing the unbearable excitement in his heart, Griezmann also forced himself to calm down as much as possible while maintaining his excitement.

"The best learning case is right around me. Today is my best chance to get ahead. I must seize it!"

Griezmann secretly encouraged himself, then looked forward and his expression became slightly solemn.

The case he had in mind was naturally Li Mo.

Why did Li Mo become so popular in England and Europe so quickly?

It's because he can always put in an excellent performance every time there's a focus battle.

In his first Premier League season, he broke through the gates of all the league's top players, and his crazy performance finally caught up with Van Persie to win the Premier League Golden Boot. In one fell swoop, Li Mo became an extremely popular star among the new generation of players.

Griezmann admires Li Mo's superb performance in the strong dialogue, and also envies Li Mo's current status in football.

He is also young and confident in his own ability. He doesn't want to be unknown all the time. If he can face Li Mo and Sheffield United today, the other Real Sociedad players will be nervous.

But in his heart there was only excitement, excitement and an indescribable high fighting spirit!

The object of envy is right in front of you, so what better way to become famous than to defeat him?

No more, even if there is, Griezmann can't wait any longer!

He will try his best today to get what he wants!

Before Li Mo came out, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced, and what he saw was Griezmann's determined expression looking straight ahead.

There was no eye contact between the two, and as the referee began to walk out, the players from both teams also calmed down their different thoughts and strode forward towards the court.

The game is about to begin!

※※※

"After more than half a month, we have finally waited for today's Champions League match. I think the audience and friends are just like us, and they can't wait!"

"It's a bit difficult to wait during the international break. Fans who have just watched the league will inevitably feel that it is not enough. Last night was just fine. Hey, the fans all enjoyed watching the eight Champions League group matches. They enjoyed it again tonight.

It’s quite comfortable to have a round and the Sheffield United game that we are most looking forward to~”

"Haha, Director Zhang's words speak to the hearts of the fans and friends. Now we have also got the starting lineups of both teams today. Next, we will ask Director Zhang to introduce it to the audience in detail."

Today, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu are still on time in the Sina Sports studio to provide live commentary of this Champions League group match to Chinese fans.

As Zhang Lu introduced the players from both sides, many Chinese fans who stayed up late gradually cheered up.

Sheffield United rotated many main players in the last round of the league, allowing them to get sufficient rest.

So in this Champions League group match, Sheffield United went out with all their main players.

The offensive trident was all in action. In the midfield, Drinkwater and Matic also started together. Together with De Bruyne, who was fully rested, the entire midfield and frontcourt looked full of pressure, and Real Sociedad

One side forms a sharp contrast.

In the defense, Vertonghen had some back discomfort and could only continue to rest. Speed ​​also directly sent out a central defender combination of Maguire and Stones.

After the experience of last season, Stones, who has turned 19, has also successfully passed the rookie stage when he was protected and used by Speed.

Although he is not as good as Vertonghen in terms of game experience, his partnership with Maguire is also full of tacit understanding.

Coupled with his outstanding talent, Speed ​​finally chose to send him to start the game instead of choosing the more experienced Lescott.

Felipe Luis and Trippier sit on the left and right wings of Sheffield United. Needless to say, the starting goalkeeper is still Sommer.
