Chapter 87 The 30th Ball in the League, Brothers

Chapter 87 The 30th goal in the league (Brothers, please be the first to order!)

April 30th is a special day for Sheffield United fans.

Today, they will usher in the team's last home game of the season.

Unfortunately, in the final round, the fans could not witness the team's promotion to the Premier League at Bramall Lane Stadium, so they prepared a large number of banners and cheering cards for this game.

Many fans also took out old but precious commemorative scarves of various versions of the team, hoping to bring their beloved souvenirs with them to witness the team's crucial victory at the last home court of the season.

There are also many Sheffield United fans complaining about Norwich's "tenacity".

If Norwich didn't bite so hard in the previous rounds of the league, even if it was a draw, they might witness the team's return to the Premier League at home this round.

However, Norwich won consecutively at the last moment of the league sprint and is still only three points behind Sheffield United, ranking third in the league.

If Sheffield United loses one of the last two games and Norwich still maintains a complete victory, then Norwich can overtake Sheffield United and get direct access to the Premier League.

Of course, the fans' complaints are just a joke. Sheffield United still occupies an active position in the standings. As long as they don't underestimate their opponents, it is only a matter of time before they go straight to the Premier League.

When Li Mo was warming up today, he discovered something very interesting in the stands.

Many Sheffield United fans carried signs mocking their arch-rivals Sheffield Wednesday.

Last year Sheffield Wednesday were relegated to League One, and Sheffield United fans celebrated wildly.

This season, Sheffield Wednesday are ranked last in League One and have no hope of promotion, but Sheffield United is about to return to the Premier League. The gap between the two teams has further widened, and Sheffield United fans are naturally even happier.

Li Mo has been in Sheffield for several years, and has gradually become familiar with this team culture. The rivalry between rival clubs in the same city is the result of decades of accumulated grudges.

In the past, when Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday were both in the Championship, the "Steel City" derby every season was the focus of the Championship and the scene was very heated.

It is a pity that after Li Mo was promoted to the first team this season, Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday were no longer able to meet in the Championship, and he did not have the chance to participate in such a passionate derby.

There may not be such an opportunity in the future, because with him here, it is impossible for Sheffield United to fall into the Championship again. It depends on whether Sheffield Wednesday can rise up and repeat the "Steel Game" with Sheffield United in the Premier League in the future.

"City Derby".

In this round of the game against Barnsley, Sheffield United's main players were all out, and Speed ​​used the formation that made Sheffield United officially take off this season, 352.

Maguire, Chris Morgan and Noseworthy lined up on the centre-back line.

After more than half a season of experience, Maguire successfully took over the core responsibility of the defense from Chris Morgan. It was also because of Maguire's dominant performance in the youth team that Speed ​​dared to promote him.

Finally, feel free to play a three-centre-back formation.

The midfielder from left to right is Matt Ritchie, Stephen Quinn, Montgomery, Drinkwater and Matthew Lowton.

The joining of Matt Ritchie and Brother Drinkwater allowed Sheffield United to make up for their shortcomings in left attack and midfield organization. Drinkwater, in particular, gave Sheffield United a qualitative upgrade in their midfield.

After the position is withdrawn, the defensive coverage area of ​​​​Sheffield United's midfielder is greatly strengthened.

Matthew Lowton on the right wing has fully demonstrated his characteristics after changing positions, but recently Speed ​​is considering letting him return to the central defender position.

After all, Nosworthy and Chris Morgan are old, Stones is too young, and Matthew Lowton's defensive habits have improved a lot, which can be of great use.

He has good physical fitness and fast speed, and his height of 1.8 meters does not affect his flexibility. In the future, he will partner with Maguire as a double central defender, and the two will complement each other perfectly.

It is necessary to recruit new players on the right wing, but this is something to consider in the summer window and next season. At this stage, Matthew Lowton is still the first choice on the right wing.

On the forward line, Li Mo and Vardy continued to start.

Speed ​​is 100% satisfied with this forward combination and it will be enough for the Premier League next season.

When he made the decision to bring in Vardy, I don't know how many people ridiculed and disliked him, but now, who doesn't praise him for his good vision?

It's just that Vardy needs to add some meat this summer, otherwise he will suffer a big loss in the Premier League.

With Li Mo's words, Speed ​​was not worried at all. He was afraid that this kid would be too diligent and make himself bad.

He fully believes that Li Mo can continue to perform well in the Premier League.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, at Bramall Lane Stadium, amid the cheers of nearly 30,000 Sheffield United home fans today, Li Mo kicked out the football and the game officially started!

The atmosphere at the scene entered a heated stage from the beginning. Sheffield United fans shouted loudly and cheered louder and louder. The Sheffield United players could not help but speed up the frequency of passing the ball.

Brother Drinkwater now has the style of a general, and he organizes the team in an orderly manner from the defensive midfielder position. In fact, his career has quietly changed since his withdrawal.

With Montgomery, a defensive veteran, Brother Drinking studied very seriously. His defensive awareness was already good, so now his defensive ability has begun to grow slowly again.

Although his defensive ability has not increased much because he missed the best age to change his position, the accumulation of experience is real. After a few more seasons in the Premier League, he may still become a top-notch defensive midfielder.

Moreover, his organizational skills are very strong. He is good at long-range shots, free kicks, and long passes. Combining these characteristics, he can achieve greater achievements in the defensive midfielder position than in the central midfielder position.

Too much.

Now, under his organization, Sheffield United's midfielder firmly occupies the ball advantage. Barnsley's players are still fighting hard, but Drinkwater is not panic at all, and Stephen Quin

Because the ball is passed and transferred steadily.

As the team wins more, the players will become more confident and calm. Matthew Lowton can now play small skills on the wing. This was completely impossible half a season ago.

After a while, Li Mo began to retreat to support again, which allowed Sheffield United to advance steadily and further reduced Barnsley's frontcourt activity space.

In the eighth minute of the game, Li Mo got the ball from the side and started his dribbling performance, which excited the Sheffield United fans in the stands.

It's only been half a season, and Li Mo's dribbling looks decent. Who dares to believe it?

This talent is really terrifyingly powerful.

And Li Mo did not live up to the cheers of the fans. He used the fried meatball technique that he had already used very proficiently to quickly pass a Barnsley player on the wing.

Immediately afterwards, facing Barnsley's midfielder, he tried to dribble the ball to the left, but when the opponent followed suit, he suddenly pulled the ball and turned around, diagonally breaking through from the right!

Everyone present is familiar with this action, the Marseille slalom!

Li Mo performed his newly learned extraordinary skills on the court again!

Even Speed ​​covered his head and looked at the assistant coaches: Which of you taught him? I haven't seen him practice!

The fans at the scene became even more agitated, shouting Li Mo's name passionately and watching his next move.

After Li Mo passed someone, he was already close to the right outside area of ​​the penalty area. The next moment, he dribbled the ball and cut inside decisively. This time, it was not a fake move, but a real cut inside!

No one thought that Li Mo would cut inside, after all, he would never continue to dribble in this area in the past.

In the past, in this position, he either passed the ball or continued to break into the penalty area, so this change of cutting inside caught Barnsley's defensive players off guard!

Li Mo's left and right feet are both balanced. This is a part of practice that he paid great attention to when he first came to England. So after successfully cutting inside, he adjusted his pace and then directly chose to shoot with his left foot!

His shooting skills were enough to support him in completing this shot, and the football was drawn into a large arc and headed straight for the upper right corner of the goal.

To say how tricky he is, it certainly wouldn’t be called, but the arc is big enough and the power is big enough. Barnsley’s goalkeeper tried his best to save, but he could only watch the football passing through his fingertips and hitting him head-on.

The net behind you!

"Oh God! Who could have imagined this! Li actually learned how to cut inside and scored a goal the first time he used it! My God, is there anything else he can't learn?! This ball hit Barnes so hard

Leeds were stunned! Sheffield United took the lead in the first ten minutes! Listen to this cry, the whole Bramall Lane Stadium is already boiling!"

Vardy seemed to be frightened. He was still running and Li Mo scored?

Mamma Mia! But this inner cut is so handsome!

Vardy waved his hands and screamed and rushed towards Li Mo. Li Mo quickly hugged him and ran towards the corner flag area together.

All the Sheffield United players in the frontcourt were grinning and running over.

In the corner flag area, Li Mo and Vardy looked at each other, and then both made a "listening" celebration gesture.

The home fans of Sheffield United were almost crazy with joy. Only ten minutes into the game, the team took the lead, and their favorite team, the "Big Prince", scored again. There is nothing better than this.

What?

The cheers and whistles from the audience made Bramall Lane Stadium feel like a volcano erupting. The fans used the loudest decibels to express their support for the team and their love for Li Mo.

Off the field, Speed ​​was very calm this time. He clenched his right fist in celebration, and then waved his arms to the home fans behind him, signaling them to be more agitated.

It’s the last home game of the season. The celebration should be more enthusiastic, more passionate and more unrestrained!

"You've scored thirty fucking goals, damn!"

Maguire rarely used foul language. He hugged Li Mo and said excitedly.

Li Mo patted his big head and responded loudly:

"Not enough! Far from enough! I want to score more goals!"

There was something wrong with the Wuli network. Fortunately, it's gone now. It's a few minutes late. Brothers, please be the first to order, please!
Chapter completed!
