Chapter 407 We are already preparing for the championship celebration(1/2)
Author: The first foodie in darkness
Sheffield United, which made a huge splash in the first battle and single-handedly brought victory and happiness from Greece, has attracted the attention of the entire world of football!
Li Mo also pushed his personal statistics in the Champions League this season to eleven goals and two assists.
As one of the two brightest stars in the Champions League this season, Li Mo once again took over the top spot in the Champions League scorer list, and he has not yet played in the final two rounds of the group stage.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who currently has nine goals and two assists, has played one more group match than him.
However, the two-goal gap is not a problem for Ronaldo, who is in hot form this year. He may catch up in one game.
Cristiano Ronaldo's fans are also very confident, saying that until February 26th, Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo, who will appear later, will have the same performance that shocked the world of football.
Such a statement was naturally ridiculed by many opponents.
After all, the fan base of Real Madrid and Ronaldo is huge, so the number of fans who dislike Real Madrid and Ronaldo is also not a small number.
But amid the turmoil of public opinion, Li Mo recognized the opinions of those Real Madrid fans.
This season, Meiroib's performance in the league has been relatively "average", and his statistics are no match for him.
But looking at the Champions League alone, Cristiano Ronaldo has the capital to compete head-on with him.
Even before the knockout rounds started, Ronaldo was the "winner" with a slight lead.
At the end of the group stage, Li Mo's statistics were nine goals and one assist, while Ronaldo's was nine goals and two assists.
Not only Li Mo is racking up statistics, Cristiano Ronaldo has also reached another peak in his career this season.
And if Ronaldo is Li Mo's strong rival in the Champions League, then Real Madrid is Sheffield United's biggest rival for the Champions League trophy this season.
Instead of spending huge sums of money to buy Bale like in the original historical line, many players in the Real Madrid team have experienced changes in their career trajectories that are inconsistent with Li Mo's memory.
Di Maria did not change his position to play in the midfield. Correspondingly, a certain dead person did not leave Real Madrid and come to the Premier League.
Real Madrid, which retained last season's main lineup, still fired Mourinho. Ancelotti, who came to the Bernabeu, is still the top expert who can make ends meet, and his ability to blend the lineup and adjust the offense is beyond words.
If you were to change to another coach, such as Master Bei, who has a rather stubborn tactical philosophy, the first thing he would do when taking up the job in a wealthy club would be to clean up the tactical ideas left by his predecessor.
If the power given by the chairman is enough, he might even have to attack the predecessor's core and kill chickens and monkeys to build up his personal power.
But Ancelotti was really different. Not only did he not completely deny the tactical ideas left by Mourinho, but he also studied Mourinho's quick counterattack with great interest.
Mourinho's counterattack style, which has the flavor of Ancelotti, has been further integrated into the blood of Real Madrid. In addition, this fat old man with an unusually kind smile also used his killer move.
Promoted Carvajal, reused Modric, created several formation systems suitable for existing players, and re-energized Ronaldo with more varied offensive methods!
Sleek and worldly, Ancelotti endeared himself to every player in the Real Madrid squad.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who likes to attack, got more tactical weight, Cassie got his authority in the locker room, Ramos got the guarantee to be the talker in the next locker room, Modric and Carvajal were
see a clear future
Look, the things that Mourinho was worried about were no longer a problem when it came to Ancelotti.
The fat old Italian man seems to have given all Real Madrid people renewed hope for the future, and what he does better than Mourinho is actually "concession."
His concessions weren't much, but they were just right.
Envy?
The skills he developed after working with many big-name superstars in Serie A for many years cannot be easily learned by other coaches no matter how envious they are.
An Pang's smooth work and tactical reforms allowed this Real Madrid team to survive the critical moment of warship reorganization, and quickly set sail again.
To be honest, there is no other coach in today's football who can have An Pang's ability.
It may not be good for him to lead the new wealthy teams and the mid-level teams in the league, but if he is asked to lead a club like Real Madrid, it will be a one-stop-shop.
There's no way around it, he's a natural fit for this job. As long as everyone above him supports his words, he improves his tactics, is gentle and effective, speaks nicely and his demands are reasonable, superstars will naturally like to deal with him.
Of course, in the original history of football, An Pang later suffered a big setback at Bayern.
However, after clearing up all the confusion that has been shrouded in front of the fans, if we look at the nature of his failure, it was because he wanted to do a major operation on Bayern's lineup and tactics and finally broke down with the top management.
Without the support of the club's talkative people, Ancelotti, even though he has great ability, will only fail.
But now that he has arrived at Real Madrid, he has no worries about this. Florentino's trust makes Ancenotti feel safe.
And Li Mo also clearly knows what kind of turbulent wave "Ansian Real Madrid" will set off in Europe.
While the outside world is still talking about whether Sheffield United and Bayern will meet again in advance, Li Mo's eyes are already looking at Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo.
On February 22, Sheffield United set off for an away game against Arsenal.
With all the main players in the midfield and backfield starting, Sheffield United used tenacious defense throughout the game to score a point from the Emirates Stadium. The 1-1 result and the game scene were not good-looking, but what Speed wants now is
The stability of the league makes it quite cost-effective to play like this.
At least Neymar and Bale have had enough rest time, and Li Mo has not exhausted much energy. Sheffield United can use the strongest trident to deal with the FA Cup play-offs against Nottingham Forest.
To be honest, the draw between Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest in the last round of the FA Cup was a surprise.
Nottingham Forest's draw with Sheffield United also gained a lot of reputation in front of fans across the UK.
Speed didn't get angry, on the contrary, he became more vigilant.
It is not easy to win the "Treble Crown" in England again.
But Sheffield United's fourth tier is running smoothly this season. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If any championship is missed due to carelessness, Speed will not be satisfied at the end of the season.
So he demands stability, or in other words, he is too stable, so stable that he brought out the best-rested trident in Europe to deal with a British championship team.
The Nottingham Forest players were astonished and astonished, and were filled with endless excitement.
Forest's past glory has nothing to do with the players currently playing for Forest.
They are actually just a team that has been dormant in the English Championship for many years. If they can force the strongest team Sheffield United to fight with them and greatly increase their popularity, what else is there to say?
This FA Cup play-off match has been an asymmetrical massacre since the starting lineups of both sides were announced.
Li Mo didn't even finish half the game before he left.
Because damn Nottingham Forest actually played against Sheffield United at their home ground!
Li Mo scored twice in 21 minutes, Bale and Neymar both scored. It was 4-0 in the first half, so why bother playing!
Speed was also dumbfounded by the progress of this game.
This is not his fault. No normal person would have guessed that Nottingham Forest would not have a bus when they returned to their home stadium, but would use their own machete to compete with Sheffield United.
The fans of Nottingham Forest did not have any dissatisfaction. On the contrary, they cheered for the bravery of their players and coaches.
The Nottingham players, who were beaten 6-0 at the end, were not frustrated at all.
They played two legs of the FA Cup against the Premier League hegemons!
This season is unique, who else!
In short, with the topic being full, everyone seemed to be satisfied. Only Speed came in calmly and came back confused.
Maybe this is the most normal way football looks.
You think the other party is abnormal, but in fact they are already enjoying the game, and you are the only one who is abnormal.
But no matter what, Sheffield United is still making steady progress on the road to pursuing the championship and unbeaten record.
The League Cup final is waiting for them, and the FA Cup has reached the quarterfinals. Chelsea and Manchester City took the opportunity to close the league lead by two points, but they still have a 17-point lead.
So, now all that is left is to wait patiently.
Sheffield United's pursuit of the second leg against Olympiacos is to remain unbeaten.
What they are most interested in recently is to see who they will play in the next round of the Champions League.
※※※
On the evening of February 26, with the end of the match between Real Madrid and Schalke 04, the results of the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals were all decided.
Real Madrid and Sheffield United achieved the same result, both slaughtering their opponents 5-0, and almost without any suspense, they entered the Champions League quarter-finals.
The most interesting thing among them is that Ronaldo also achieved two shots and one pass, which is the same as Li Mo's, which is also strange.
With one more assist, Cristiano Ronaldo once again surpassed Li Mo and became the "data king" of the Champions League this season.
This explosive performance also made the fans of Real Madrid and Ronaldo extremely excited.
The media across Europe have been talking about Sheffield United for most of the season. Now Real Madrid is no less inferior to Sheffield United in the Champions League. Coupled with the confidence of the biggest football club, they naturally have the confidence to dare to challenge Sheffield United.
war.
Fans of other teams are basically discussing who can reach the end of the Champions League this season between Sheffield United and Real Madrid.
As for Paris Saint-Germain, which beat Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 in the first round?
Sorry, if Paris wants to become a top echelon team in Europe, it still needs to perform well in more tough battles.
For example, like Sheffield United who almost defeated Bayern who won the championship last season, it is not too late to brag about such a tough performance.
Of the five Premier League teams that have made it to the top 16 of the Champions League, only two currently have the upper hand in the first knockout round.
They were Sheffield United, which beat Olympiacos 5-0, and Manchester City, which beat Manchester United 3-0.
Needless to say, Manchester United's performance in the first round was a complete loss to Manchester City. This season's Champions League journey should end here.
To be continued...
