In the 30th round of the English Championship, except for Swansea and Cardiff City, which kicked off the next day, and Queens Park Rangers and Reading, which had already finished early, all other games kicked off at the same time.

Today's game time is okay, it still starts at 4pm and ends at less than 7pm.

Against Ipswich, Speed ​​had one request: not to change the formation this time, but to attack to the death.

Because the Ipswich team is purely a young team that plays with a naive style and cannot defend well, so they simply use offense instead of defense.

Winning 11 games, losing 14 games, drawing only 4 games, scoring 38 goals and conceding 40 goals, with a goal difference of -2. This is Ipswich's league record so far.

Typical flat-head brother, either I will beat you to death or you will beat me to death, the draw will be purely accidental.

Of course, you can't say that this style of play is undesirable. At least Ipswich can still win 11 games and there is no risk of relegation now.

For Li Mo, this kind of opponent couldn't be better. There is a threat in attack, but not much. The defense is too stretched to stop him.

It just so happened that Director Gao came to the scene today. If I didn’t leave a deep impression on Director Gao, I would be sorry for myself.

Moreover, Speed's tactics today are still offensive 442, which is very suitable for his performance.

Chris Morgan, the veteran captain on the defensive line, took a rest and was replaced by Nosworthy and Maguire.

Vardy continued to start on the striker and scored on his debut in the last game. Speed ​​decided to give Vardy more opportunities.

The personnel at other positions are similar to the previous game.

After the start, Li Mo was very active. Today he got into the state very quickly and frequently retreated to get the ball.

Since killing the game with a flash of inspiration in the last game, Li Mo found that his dribbling ability value has also increased a little.

Like ball control, his dribbling ability value has now reached 78, which is considered to be above average in the English Championship.

Moreover, his performance in the last game made him vaguely aware that there should be hidden attributes in Bashen's talent.

There may not be a specific ability value, but he can be sure that the wonderful feeling that appears from time to time is a "special ability".

Just like the technical moves that many superstars subconsciously make during games, this is also a kind of talent.

Perhaps we can call this talent the "inspiration" of genius?

Such as Bergkamp's turn, Ronaldinho's twist shot, Ibrahimovic's scorpion tail, etc.

Li Mo doesn't know how to trigger this "inspiration", but he knows that he needs to try more, from shooting that he is good at to dribbling that he is not good at, and even long passes.

Try more on the competition field and show your skills confidently. Even if you fail, the accumulation of experience requires this process.

Just like now, Li Mo repeatedly tried to dribble in the frontcourt to tear open the defense after getting the ball.

His adequate dribbling ability coupled with his physical fitness put a lot of pressure on Ipswich's defense.

In the past, Li Mo would rely on running or retreating to play the ball after the start of the game to cooperate with his teammates. Today, he took the initiative to attack with the ball, which surprised Speed.

However, looking at Li Mo's dribbling breakthrough on the court, Speed ​​just let him go. If Li Mo can practice dribbling and use it as a regular weapon, it will only be good for the team.

However, the nearly 30,000 Ipswich fans present were unhappy. Seeing Li Mo's active performance on the court, they booed loudly.

However, Sheffield United's midfield strength is obviously better than that of Ipswich. After Drinkwater took control of the midfield, he frequently gave Li Mo the ball. No matter how dissatisfied Ipswich fans were, they could not change this fact.

After Li Mo turned his back to get the ball again, he leaned slightly to open up a little space with the defensive player behind him. Then he turned around and held the ball back to distance himself.

After changing from back-to-back to facing the defensive player head-on, Li Mo began to press forward with the ball in small steps.

When he was approaching the defensive player, he suddenly moved the ball to the right with his left foot. Naturally, the Ipswich players quickly took action and tried to steal it.

But the next moment, the inside of Li Mo's right foot hit the sideways moving football. The football immediately moved forward, just escaping the defensive player's interception. Li Mo also sprinted past the defensive player.

Fried meatballs!

This is a very classic and basic extraordinary skill. When talking about this skill, fans will definitely think of "little white" Iniesta at the first time.

Li Mo's technical movements were certainly not as graceful as those of Iniesta's, but his movements were very coherent and stretched, and his passing was crisp and clean. Gao Hongbo's eyes lit up when he saw him in the stands.

It’s hard to say whether the player with the best skills in the national team is Hao Junmin or Deng Zhuoxiang, but if they were placed in the current English Championship, Gao Hongbo didn’t think they could make such neat passing moves.

After the dribble was successful, Li Mo broke into Ipswich's defensive third zone.

The first few times Li Mo broke into this area, he would face double teams. Li Mo tried a few times at the beginning. Now he faces double teams, and it will be more difficult for him to pass. In the end, besides passing back, he only loses the ball.

right.

This time, Ipswich's defender thought he would get past him and continued to double-team.

Unexpectedly, Li Mo chose to pass the ball when a defender pulled out!

Vardy started the offside counterattack and inserted into the front point. Another Ipswich central defender intervened, but Li Mo's lob went straight to the back point.

At that position, Matt Ritchie has already plugged in at high speed!

Before the Ipswich defender could rush over to cover up the defense, Mattridge stopped the ball and chose to volley into the far corner in the penalty area.

However, the force of this shot seemed to be a bit too strong, and the football barely missed the crossbar and flew out. Matt Ritchie held his head and shouted in regret.

Gao Hongbo and a small group of Sheffield United fans around him felt very sorry, but he still applauded vigorously.

This is Li Mo’s tactical value!

Among the current centers in the national team, Yang Xu has average ball-playing ability and is not tough enough. Gao Lin is okay, but his shooting is not stable.

Li Mo is different. Not to mention the previous games, in just about ten minutes of this half, Li Mo performed quite well. He could pass people, retreat and get the ball out, and he could quickly find teammates to pass the ball after being double-teamed.

, full of high-end feeling.

It's a pity that I haven't seen Li Mo shoot. Compared with other skills, Li Mo's shooting is definitely the strongest.

The score was still 0:0. Li Mo gradually stopped attacking with the ball. Drinkwater led the midfielder to press forward, almost pressing against Ipswich.

Sheffield United's two wingers began to frequently take the ball and look for opportunities on the wing. Vardy's physical movement helped Li Mo open up a lot of space.

Ipswich's defensive players were actually trying their best to mark Li Mo, but they couldn't hold off Sheffield United, so they caught Li Mo passing the ball!

One goal and two goals, double teams can be defended, but the ball always goes to Li Mo. The Ipswich defenders feel like they are about to be knocked out of their bodies by Li Mo!

Finally, in the 31st minute of the first half, Li Mo used a reverse run to slightly get rid of the central defender who was marking him, and ran out of a fleeting opportunity.

Matt Ritchie on the wing took the ball very timely, and Li Mo took advantage of the short-term loophole in Ipswich's defense to beat the opponent's full-back in the air and score with a header!

"This is the center I want!"

A shout sounded in Gao Hongbo's mind.

This is the center forward!

No matter how the opponent defends, they can always find loopholes in the defense and score goals. With such a center, the frontcourt offense will have a backbone!

Moreover, in this half of the game, Li Mo, in addition to scoring goals, was also a fulcrum for the ball, running, dribbling, and passing. He was completely proficient in everything!

"Perfect!"

Gao Hongbo stood up and stared closely at Li Mo, who was celebrating with his teammates on the court.

He can't wait to see Li Mo report to the national team!
Chapter completed!
