Chapter 307
Chapter 307
Sheffield United's coaching team made some "fine-tuning" of the team's tactical play overnight.
On the basis of seeking stability, some very "surprise" things have been added.
It's not really a risk, after all, it's something Sheffield United players usually practice.
If the Galatasaray fans hadn't gone too far last night, Speed would never have considered using such a tactic to torture the opponent and the fans of both sides.
But since the Galatasaray club didn't show the slightest behavior towards their fans, Speed felt that he didn't need to be polite.
Li Mo and his teammates are gearing up at the moment, anyone who is woken up after a deep sleep at night will be angry.
But they are professional players, and they can't vent their anger on the opponent's fans, so naturally they have to rub the opponent's players to have a good time.
After the final mobilization, the starting players of Sheffield United put on that serious face again and walked into the player tunnel.
Galatasaray's local players did not feel any pressure. In their home court, both dragons and tigers had to fight, and countless European powerhouses were buried here.
In their view, today's Sheffield United will also become the ghost of their home court.
What if it is the top of the Premier League?Compared with clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern, Sheffield United is still a rising star on the European football map.
No matter how popular the hype is, no matter how aggressive you are in the Premier League, you have no European results, so how dare you say that you are a strong team at the intercontinental level?
At best, he is a big Manchester City, who will be strong when facing average opponents, and will become weak when encountering tough opponents.
Of course, the Galatasaray players attach great importance to Li Mo and Bell, after all, these two are already football superstars.
But for the Sheffield United team, many players in the Galatasaray team still classify them as rookies in the European war.
There were many teams who didn't want to meet Sheffield United in the first round of the knockout round, but these teams did not include Galatasaray.
Their home court advantage is too prominent, and their home game style is rough and direct. Many giants are afraid of playing games on their turf, so they can't think of any reason why Sheffield United will not be psychologically timid. .
Compared with these teammates who had a little too much self-confidence, a bad thought flashed in Drogba's heart at this time.
If you want to talk about who knows Sheffield United best in Galatasaray, it is naturally him.
For him, Li Mo's previous performances have left a deep impression on him, but Sheffield United is by no means a team that relies on individual heroism to advance.
They are fierce, cunning, tenacious and united. Anyone who dares to ignore the words of other players in their team will definitely suffer a big loss.
But Drogba has only come to Galatasaray for a short time, and if he talks too much, he may annoy his teammates.
After thinking about it, Drogba finally chose to remain silent.
He now has all the honors he can have at the club level, and he just wants to enjoy the game. For things on the field, he should do his best. For the rest, let’s see the situation first.
※※※
At night, the Turk Telecom stadium was full of people. When the players from both sides stepped into the stadium, the deafening drums suddenly sounded in the stands of the home team fans!
Accompanied by the sound of shocking drums, were the ferocious burning "sea of fire" in the stands, and the white-red smoke that almost covered the sky above the stadium!
Galatasaray's home fans set off fireworks in their home stadium. The red heat seemed to break through the cold winter and ignite the stadium. The fiery red under the night sky created a hellish and terrifying atmosphere!
Li Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, sniffing the slightly pungent smell of fireworks in the air, and a flame was burning in his heart.
The scenes here are shocking enough, and the Galatasaray fans are indeed fanatical enough.
However, they should not try to anger the Sheffield United team. Today Sheffield United will let these Galatasaray fans understand that not all teams are afraid of their so-called rude style and home atmosphere.
They, they messed with the wrong person!
When the live broadcast cameras passed over the faces of the players, commentators from all over the world also got ready to start the heat before the game.
Duan Xuan partnered with Xu Yang today to explain the Champions League knockout match in the Wutai studio.
For Galatasaray, the two are quite familiar. After all, they are famous tough bones in the Champions League, so they are somewhat worried.
I am afraid that Sheffield United will not be able to withstand the fanatical atmosphere at home created by the Turks, and many giants are planted on it.
As for the comparison of strength, the two agreed that Sheffield United is higher than Galatasaray.
"As long as we don't concede a goal in the first half, I think Sheffield United have a great chance to control the situation. Galatasaray's defense, to be honest, is actually very limited. Those who play in the Turkish Super League The defenders can't withstand the impact of Berga Limer, the key is still in the midfield, Melo, Altentop, Sneijder, no matter what their current state is, we have to give respect to these names, Sheffield If Lenovo wants to get out, it must consider how to cut off the connection between these players and Drogba."
Listening to Xu Yang's eloquent talk, Duan Xuan felt that Sheffield United might not necessarily choose to retreat in the first half.
Because what he saw through the live broadcast were the calm faces of Sheffield United players.
Li Mo even pursed his lips to the camera and nodded, showing a very strong self-confidence!
How can this look like it's going to be kicked?
Duan Xuan even had a hunch that Speed's tactics today would surprise everyone.
It shouldn't be a confrontation, but it will never be a defensive counterattack in the half court.
After saying a few words to Xu Yang, Duan Xuan focused all his attention on the upcoming game. He couldn't wait to see the shocked expressions of the home team fans!
After the opening ceremony, Drogba and Sneijder stood at the kick-off point, and with the whistle of the referee, one of the last two games of the first round of the Champions League knockout round officially started!
After Duan Xuan quickly read the opening remarks, he dropped the topic for Xu Yang and asked him to introduce the starting lineups of both players today.
"The home team Galatasaray's two forwards today are Drogba and Yilmaz, and the four midfielders are Sneijder, Inan, Melo and Altentop from left to right, and the goalkeeper on the back line. Muslera is Uruguay's national goalkeeper.
The starting lineup for Sheffield United is exactly the same as when they played Manchester United in the last FA Cup game.
Li Mo and Vardy partnered as two forwards, Bale, Matic, Drinkwater and Medel in the midfield from left to right, and the defense line”
Accompanied by Xu Yang's introduction, the fans of Huaguo soon knew the matchup situation of the players from both sides today.
The striker Yilmaz can be regarded as a star player in the Turkish Super League.
He played 34 times in the Turkish Super League last season and scored 33 goals, which is close to the scoring efficiency of one goal per game. He is an out-and-out scoring machine in the Turkish Super League.
But in the face of Maguire plus Vertonghen, who is now more and more known as the first central defender combination in the Premier League, the performance of this Turkish Super League killer may be greatly reduced.
The key still depends on how much success Drogba has left.
If Drogba can continue to play a fulcrum role under Maguire's marking, then Yilmaz's life may be easier.
But if Drogba has nothing to do with the current Maguire, then Galatasaray's offensive may have to rely more on the performance of the two-wing players.
Great Altentop and Sneijder are still there after all, not to mention other aspects, experience and mentality are very top.
Not to mention how well they played on the defensive end, if they go all out to attack, Sheffield United also needs to respect these two players.
But when everyone was about to see how Sheffield United responded to Galatasaray's first wave of offensive, the Sheffield United players never retreated to defend their own half, but formed a three-pointer in the midfield. An echelon directly pressed towards Galatasaray!
Valdira went to the right, and Speed played another tactical design at the beginning. The fake [-] seconds turned into [-], and Li Mo followed, forcing Galatasaray in an instant. Pass the ball back first.
The home fans, who were still arrogant just now, quickly stopped cheering and booed the Sheffield United players with all their strength.
This is their home field!
Sheffield United played high-position pressure on them, it was unbearable!
However, their boos seemed to have lost their magic at this moment, and the Sheffield United players continued to put pressure on Galatasaray without being affected.
At the critical moment, Sneijder retreated to pick the ball out. Facing Vardy's rush, Sneijder calmly pulled the ball to hide, and then passed the ball to the middle.
Melo, who responded, was about to take the ball and turn around to play a wave of counterattacks. The Galatasaray fans on the scene also opened their voices and prepared to cheer for the offensive players.
As a result, Medel made a decisive and smart early foul, so the Turks had to swallow the cheers that spit out of their mouths back into their stomachs!
Melo, who was kicked to the calf and fell to the ground, was obviously very dissatisfied. He is already a hot-tempered player. He made his debut in the Turkish Super League last season and received 36 yellow cards in 13 appearances!
How could such a ruthless character swallow Medel's petty actions?
Melo, who climbed up from the turf, saw that the referee didn't even give a verbal warning, and walked towards Medel cursing.
As a result, a figure flashed over faster than Medel, directly blocking between Melo and Medel.
"Go back to your half! Don't make trouble!"
Seeing Li Mo who suddenly put his head on top of his head and spit flying everywhere, even Melo, who is known as a villain in football, was also dumbfounded.
Damn it, he was kicked to the ground by Medel just now!
Why now it looks like he took the initiative to trouble the Sheffield United players, Li Mo came out to stop him, this script seems to be reversed!
Melo is short-tempered and short-tempered, but his IQ is online. Looking at Li Mo, who is almost a full circle older than himself, he very wisely pushed Li Mo away and distanced himself.
Naturally, the referee hurried over with his whistle at this time. The game had only started three or four minutes ago, and the players on the field gave him this. It was really annoying!
The fans of both sides at the scene began to vent their anger, not only scolding the opponent's players on the field, but also scolding the opponent's fans on the field.
Although the number of Sheffield United fans is small, they are not afraid of spraying people. With their middle fingers up, they leaned over and uttered a series of elegant words starting with F.
The hot atmosphere on the scene made the audience in front of the TV call it wonderful.
Sheffield United is too fresh, they directly confronted Galatasaray at the beginning of the game, and the scene where Li Mo forced Melo back is also a classic. He dared to play tough at Galatasaray's home court, and many neutral fans liked it. Thumbs up for Sheffield United.
Enough man!
Because Li Mo had his hands behind his back when he was furious just now, and his attitude was quite good after the referee came over, so in the end the referee only verbally warned Li Mo and Melo, and then lightly signaled them Get back into the game quickly.
Li Mo was very satisfied, and left with a smile, leaving Melo standing there with a dazed expression.
Why was he warned by the referee in the end?
This shit is unreasonable!
Shouldn't Li Mo apologize to him and then give him another warning?The referee, you are biased, I dare you!
As a victim, Melo felt aggrieved rarely, and he just cursed a few words from the beginning to the end, why did things turn out like this.
Seeing this, Drogba also shook his head helplessly.
Li Mo is getting older and older, and immediately attracted the referee's attention to the "confrontation" between him and Melo.
At that time, they were all over the top, and Melo pushed Li Mo in the end. The referee didn't care who was instigating the two of them. In order to stop the development of the situation, both sides naturally had to hit [-] boards first.
Li Mo is the center forward, so it doesn't matter if he gets a warning. Melo is the only serious midfielder in Galatasaray's formation. If he gets a yellow card early, Galatasaray will be too passive.
Looking at the referee's final handling, Galatasaray's head coach Trim was naturally very dissatisfied.
The godfather of Turkish football is not necessarily mild-tempered, and he sprayed while standing on the sidelines, prompting the fourth official to rush forward to warn him.
On the other side, Speed felt extremely comfortable.
That's it, first arouse the dissatisfaction and anger of the Galatasaray team, and then let them be deflated. As long as today's referee whistles the same scale, Sheffield United will not be afraid of Galatasaray's so-called roughness at all. style.
Than rough?Li Mo and Drinkwater are all from the British Championship, and they are also known for their tough playing style in the Premier League Sheffield United in the past two seasons.
I'm afraid you're a hangover?
Originally, I wanted to play some gentle things with you, but in the end, you guys wanted to play some dirty routines, so everyone should simply point it out and just force it!
Speed is not used to this kind of team. The style of Sheffield United has gradually changed, but the team is still a tough team.
And, where is this?There are still tricks in the future, and I will play with you slowly today!
Speed sat on the coach's bench and folded his arms. He didn't know what tactics he was thinking about. After Galatasaray took a set kick, he immediately wanted to pass the ball to Drogba. It seemed that he couldn't bear it. Hold back your temper, and want to make a few simple and effective attacks as soon as possible.
But Maguire and Matic, who had been prepared for a long time, squeezed Drogba's space to hold the ball, and decisively went around to destroy the ball!
Today's World of Warcraft is no better than himself when he was young. Drogba, who is about 30 years old, can still hold the ball and split the side under the pressure of two defensive players.
But now, Drogba, who is about 35 days away from turning [-], really can't handle the double-teaming of two top defensive players.
If after the end of the 11-12 season, Drogba did not leave the Asian League, but chose to stay in the Premier League, his state would not decline so quickly.
But when he made the choice to leave the Premier League, such a day will inevitably come sooner or later.
Old players are like this. The older they are, the more time they have to spend on maintaining their bodies, and they cannot easily leave the top league stage.
Without high-standard pre-season training and almost rigorous physical reserve work, how can you compete with those players who are in their prime.
Now Drogba, playing in the Turkish League, or waiting for the state to recover, it may not be a problem to play in Serie A and Ligue [-] for a few more years, but he really cannot return to last year in the Premier League and Champions League competitive level.
Warcraft was blocked by Sheffield United at this point, and Galatasaray had to rely on their team's top scorer Yilmaz.
But this buddy hasn’t played much until now. Just now he wanted to charge the ball in the rib area of Sheffield United, but he was squeezed to the side by Vertonghen abruptly, and finally had to pass the ball back. Altentop came to meet him.
Both of the two center forwards were seen as uncomfortable, and the organization of the midfield was cramped by Sheffield United's pressure. Galatasaray's offensive was at a standstill for a while.
However, although they are in trouble on offense, Galatasaray's defense is still relatively in place.
Trim obviously studied the characteristics of Sheffield United's fast advancing tactics on the wing. Galatasaray's decisive fouls on the wing twice in a row prevented Sheffield United from counterattacking.
Drinkwater observed for a while, and after No. 17 minutes of the first half got the ball again, he made a tactical gesture, obviously to make a tactical change.
Matic withdrew to the side where Drinkwater was almost tied, and Medel also ran back from the frontcourt. With Bell and Vardy on the two wings, Sheffield United calmly organized in the midfield for a while.
This attempt to reduce the pace of the game and drag the game into a positional battle is unacceptable to Galatasaray.
They were going to take advantage of the hot atmosphere at home to try to score an early goal, but if Sheffield United wants to delay the rhythm at this time, isn't that disrupting their tactical deployment?
Besides, their two high center forwards are restricted by Sheffield United's backcourt defenders. In this case, playing positional battles with Sheffield United is asking for a dead end.
After all, Sheffield United can stop the aging Didier Drogba and Yilmaz, but Galatasaray is not sure that they can stop Li Mo and Bell, who has found a chance to advance.
To put it bluntly, Galatasaray's current defense line is just showing off in the Turkish Super League, and it can still beat the European war with its defensive system.
But when superstars like Li Mo and Bell ignore the pressure of their home court and play their feelings, it will be an out-and-out disaster for their defense.
They don't have a central defender who can limit the big center forward, and Li Mo just finished the combination of Ferdinand and Vidic a few days ago. Facing those two central defenders, Li Mo can score twice, Galatasaray Is this the central defender combination?
Therefore, the players of Galatasaray are very clear that they must raise the rhythm of the game, increase the number of offensive rounds, and then break the deadlock on the field as soon as possible.
Those Galatasaray players who didn't pay much attention to Sheffield United before the game had to admit at this time that the strength of Sheffield United was indeed far beyond their expectations.
And their home field advantage is not as great as expected.
The guys from Sheffield United are really hard-headed. There were so many boos and curses at the scene, it was as if they hadn't heard it, and they wanted to be tough with them.
Medel gave off his power, and Li Mo immediately stood up and let Melo suffer from a dumb loss. In terms of the feeling of playing so far, the Galatasaray players only think that Sheffield United's defense is really fucking tough. !
This Nima doesn't look like he just had a shopping match with Manchester United three days ago, and his physical fitness is too good.
The more they think about Galatasaray, the more they feel that something is wrong. In the end, they can only put aside distracting thoughts and increase their energy to force Sheffield United to speed up.
At this time, Drinkwater showed his demeanor as the core of the new generation of the British national team. He transferred the ball in constant interspersed and running, and slipped away from his own half and the middle circle. Galatasaray's pressing players were anxious.
When this man was in a hurry, his movements would inevitably become louder, and as Medel fell to the ground decisively, the referee's whistle sounded again.
"He dived! Our players didn't touch him, the referee, you see, he is about to sit up by himself!"
Altentop was still trying his best to defend Inan who had just stepped down, but Drinkwater put a big hand at this time, and before the referee turned his head, he pressed Medel, who was about to get up honestly, to the turf again.
So what the referee saw was Drinkwater's hand on the "painful" Medel's shoulder, with a concerned look on his face.
"I can see what's happening on the field, please stand back first, and then you, the number 8 of the home team, come over!"
Inan, who was a little guilty, didn't even move to defend himself, and he wasn't sure if he shoveled Medel's calf just now.
Maybe it was more just a rubbing of the studs, but seeing that Medel was still lying on the turf and did not get up, he himself had some doubts about whether he had really fouled.
After receiving a stern verbal warning, Yi Nan returned to his own half with his head drooping.
The warning he received this time was much more serious than that of Melo. The referee did not show a yellow card because he was more concerned about Galatasaray's home court. But the next time he fouls like this again, then It's definitely going to be a card.
Galatasaray's home fans are naturally about to explode at this time!
The two midfielders in the middle have both received warnings, and if anyone gets a yellow card later, will Sheffield United be more unscrupulous in their activities in the middle?
What kind of penalty is this? Medel should be sentenced to flopping!
For a while, the Turk Telecom stadium was booed again.
After the game resumed, the Galatasaray players really restrained their confrontation a little bit.
The confrontation that should be played will still be held, but they dare not do any tackles from the side or rear.
Today, the referee's whistle is relatively loose, but he is not the kind of character who blindly favors the home team.
And Sheffield United players also dare to play!
When they acted rudely, Sheffield United followed suit, which was completely shameless.
Galatasaray players always like to put others down at home, but when they themselves become the targets of being brought down, the pain in their bodies reminds them that now they are facing a team that can put down the airs completely The team that played dirty with them!
After a little hesitation, Sheffield United took control of the field for a long time, and Trim was so angry that he pointed at his disciples on the sidelines and yelled to make them more "active".
As soon as the majestic head coach spoke, the Galatasaray players on the field could only bite the bullet and press up and continue to press.
But this time Sheffield United changed their routine again. After passing back all the way, they directly divided the ball. Finally, Matt Ridge directly drove forward with a big foot. position of Li Mo.
To be honest, the two central defenders of Galatasaray, Nuunku is 1.8 meters 1.8 and weighs [-] kg, and Kaya is [-] meters [-] and is in the early [-]s.
Only Melo can cause Li Mo a little bit of trouble by working hard.
So when this long pass flew over, Li Mo tapped the football in the double-teaming of Melo and Nunku, and finally picked the ball out smoothly.
This scene of almost ignoring Galatasaray's backcourt defense left the home team fans at the scene speechless.
There were even quite a few irritable home team fans who directly scolded their own players.
In their opinion, it is better to keep Li Mo with a direct foul than to watch him smoothly pass the ball to Vardy.
This is so embarrassing!
But the scene that made them vomit blood even more soon came.
Vardy, who took the ball, tentatively took two steps on the side, and then decisively passed the ball back to Matthew Lorton, who came up to meet him.
And Matthew Lorton reached out to stop Vardy from running on the wing to help him open up the forward space, and directly passed the ball back to Drinkwater, who was smiling and retreating!
Feelings This time, Sheffield United's long pass is to help the players in the backcourt relieve the pressure of controlling the field. The ball circled around and finally returned to Drinkwater's feet!
The Galatasaray fans looked at the Sheffield United bench with red eyes. In their view, the Sheffield United players on the field are certainly hateful, but Speed, who designed this tactic, should be the most Object of condemnation.
All of a sudden, there was a muffled noise above Sheffield United's bench. What kind of drink cups, paper balls, and towels fell on the protective shed like rain.
But Speed shrank his neck, sat on the coach's bench and smiled, showing his white teeth. He looked very happy, and he was thinking of giving a thumbs up to the Sheffield United players on the field. It left a classic scene for the reporters on the scene.
No matter how crazy the Galatasaray fans at the scene are, Sheffield United is determined to drag the rhythm down today.
Of course, this is when they are in possession of the ball. Once Galatasaray successfully steals the ball, all Sheffield United players except Li Mo will instantly switch to the oppressive defensive mode.
The crazy pressing force made Galatasaray's players feel a little guilty.
In fact, if we really want to talk about the control of the midfield, it is still no problem for the three midfielders of Sneidega, Altentop, Melo, and Galatasaray to play with the organization.
But they were beaten dizzy by Sheffield United's strange trick.
In the final analysis, the striker can't press into the penalty area, the midfielder's advance is blocked, and there is no serious side burst. If you want to change, you can't change it, but you can only be led by the nose by the opponent.
The lineup designed by Trim mainly wants to use the midfield organization and conduction ability to cooperate with Drogba's fulcrum role, so that Yilmaz and Inan, who has a strong scoring ability, can get enough offensive opportunities.
Moreover, Melo, who scored [-] goals in the league last season, also has the ability to attack the opponent's defense line.
The arrangement of the offensive echelon and the arrangement of offensive tactics are more reasonable and reliable no matter how you look at it.
But Trim did not expect that Drogba, who went to Huaguo for a round, now returns to the Champions League, how could he be so "weak"?
Drogba couldn't get past Sheffield United's defensive design, and all the backs arranged by Trim seemed to lose their effect.
Yilmaz, who had killed all sides in the soil, got lost in Sheffield United's tough defense like steel in the backcourt, and Inan was restrained by Medel's fight.
However, Melo was overshadowed by Li Mo again. This buddy probably lost his mind and competed with Li Mo in the backcourt. Trim knew that it would be useless to expect Melo to advance in this game.
The game time in the first half was almost wiped out by Sheffield United.
When the irrational Galatasaray fans threw burning fireworks into the stadium, the referee also decisively blew the whistle to end the first half.
Upon seeing this, the staff and security personnel rushed into the venue, cleaning up those who needed to be cleaned up, and arresting those who needed to be arrested. The scene was very lively for a while.
Li Mo even took a few extra glances at the chasing battle between the security personnel and the rioting fans.
But the players on Galatasaray's side are obviously not in such a leisurely mood.
Trim's face sank, and the Galatasaray players knew something was wrong, and hurried back to the locker room.
The players of Sheffield United walked slowly into the player tunnel amidst the boos of almost the whole audience.
This first half was boring for many neutral fans. Sheffield United's tactics split Galatasaray's offensive rhythm, and even their own offensive rhythm.
But for the supporters of Sheffield United, they not only withstood Galatasaray's home power in the first half, but also succeeded in disgusting their players and fans. Don't be too happy!
You think of speed, I want to control the field, you want fast break, I want to fight positional warfare!
Who specially asked your fans to go to the hotel where our players rest to set off fireworks at night?
Isn't this what it should be like!
Most of the commentators from various countries did not have any personal inclinations and positions. They were just very curious and wanted to know how the head coaches of the two sides would adjust their tactics in the second half.
Trim definitely wants to win Sheffield United at home as much as possible, but if he really can't win the game, as long as he doesn't give Sheffield United an away goal, then he should also be able to accept the result of a draw.
After all, they will go to Sheffield United's home court to play in the next round. As long as they score a goal, Sheffield United will be cornered by them.
For Speed, the most important thing is to strive for away goals while not losing.
As long as they score an away goal in this game, they can also force Galatasaray into an embarrassing situation.
Now it depends on whether the head coaches on both sides choose to play it safe or give it a go.
After a short 15 minutes, the players of Sheffield United and Galatasaray switched sides and fought again, and neither side had yet chosen to make substitutions. This situation actually made Trim secretly relieved.
He has already made a choice, and he will try to stabilize the situation in the second half. If the game ends with a score of 0-0, it is actually not too bad for Galatasaray.
He was afraid that Speed would change his team at the beginning of the second half. If Sheffield United were to attack halftime, Galatasaray's defense might not be able to withstand it.
But after the game restarted, Trim watched the Sheffield United players actively move, and his mood suddenly became very bad!
Sheffield United did not change, but they adjusted the formation back to [-]!
Under the active ball-holding promotion, the four offensive players in the frontcourt of Sheffield United quickly forced Galatasaray to shrink the defense.
Bell is not the frustrated Sneijder, and Li Mo is not the aging Drogba. The attacking twin stars of Sheffield United are young.
Not to mention the strong desire to attack, their skills and bodies are also at or entering their peak state!
What Trim feared finally happened.
Sheffield United made a successful start in the second half, directly forming an offensive suppression against Galatasaray. Li Mo and Bell relied on their outstanding abilities to stab back and forth in Galatasaray's defense!
Speed is so bold, he dared to fight big at the beginning of the second half, and didn't care about Galatasaray's possible counterattack.
The players of Sheffield United seem to be like their coaches. They put in all their strength when they need to press up. Apart from the two central defenders, there is basically only one Matic who is lagging behind in the backcourt, so they are not afraid at all.
And with such a force input, once the front and rear offensive levels are spread out, as long as you pay attention not to lose the ball carelessly, the offensive will be wave after wave, which can completely stun Galatasaray's defensive players.
Li Mo dragged Melo to play hide-and-seek for half a game, and he couldn't hold back his desire to score a goal.
When the teammates on the left and right flanks are in position, what Li Mo has to do is very simple. With Vardy's running position involved, try to grab as much as possible and complete the task of shooting!
"It's a pity that Ding Ding didn't get the chance to play, otherwise, wouldn't it be great to have him delivering shells on the right?"
Li Mo smashed his mouth, thinking with some regret.
It's not that he dislikes the passing skills of Medel and Matthew Lorton. As far as the cross is concerned, Medel and Matthew Lorton can actually complete their passing tasks very well.
It's just that compared with De Bruyne, it must be a bit worse.
Fortunately, Li Mo doesn't think the cake is hard, as long as there is something to eat, besides, he still has Bell and Vardy by his side. Once Galatasaray's defense line is pulled apart, there are many opportunities.
Galatasaray's double central defenders Nunku and Kaya are staring at Li Mo who is running like a big enemy.
It's not that the two of them want to vent their defensive confidence, but that the difference in physical fitness is the real difference here. They are not good jumpers, and they really have no confidence that they can restrain Li Mo in the battle for the top later. .
They both want Drogba to come back and help them if they can.
It's a pity that the game only started in the second half, and it's not yet the final moment when everyone retreats. Even if Drogba is willing to help, their head coach Trim will not allow such a weird scene to happen at this moment.
Let your own center withdraw to the penalty area to defend the opponent's center at the beginning of the second half, what is this like? !
In desperation, the two central defenders of Galatasaray could only cast a "take care of yourself" look at the goalkeeper Muslera behind them.
They can try their best to fight with Li Mo, but if they accidentally let Li Mo get the chance to shoot, they can only rely on Muslera to solve the problem by himself.
The Uruguayan national team could only helplessly make a "give it to me" gesture.
His strength is actually pretty good, not top in European football, but still close to top-notch, but facing Li Mo at this moment, Muslera actually feels a little bit drummed.
Before the start of this game, he had watched a lot of Li Mo's scoring videos in the Premier League, and the explosive shots in the penalty area were so fucking outrageous.
The key is that Li Mo's kicking range is very wide. The first five meters of the big penalty area is basically Li Mo's absolute threat area, and the two sides of the penalty area can also shoot around without dead ends. For such an opponent, you can change any goalkeeper Feel nervous unconsciously.
And when the players on both wings of Sheffield United began to kick the ball frequently to Galatasaray's penalty area, Li Mo's personal performance officially began.
Nunku and Kaya did their best to interfere with Li Mo, which made Galatasaray last nearly 10 minutes.
These 10 minutes made Galatasaray fans feel like they were on a roller coaster.
Every time Li Mo grabs a point, they will tremble once. The moment Li Mo hit the post in the 8 minutes of the second half, many Galatasaray fans even covered their eyes in despair!
Amidst the screams of their companions, they dared to put down their palms, and then, like the people around them, they were thankful that their beloved team was still clinging to the tie.
But such a lucky situation ceased to exist at No. 601 minutes.
Not only did Speed begin to worry about the physical condition of Sheffield United's starting players, but Li Mo also gradually became anxious.
If everyone is in a normal state, then fighting for [-] minutes is not a problem at all, but now the Sheffield United players are already gritted their teeth and persisted.
In the first half of the game, a lot of physical energy was spent to continuously launch oppressive presses, and at the beginning of the second half, they had to attack with all their strength. For the Sheffield United players who had just finished fighting for Manchester United three days ago, it was really a test of their willpower. .
Li Mo got angry because of this, and ignored Kaya's desperately poking head during another summit fight, and the two collided hard!
Under the interference of Muslera, the football barely touched the inside of the goal post and bounced into the goal, but Li Mo and Kaya also fell on the turf in the penalty area. For a while, Galatasaray There was chaos in the restricted area.
But before the players of Sheffield United anxiously surrounded him, Li Mo covered his face with one hand and got up from the turf with the other hand.
In the cold night, half of his cheeks seemed to be stained red with blood, and he looked extremely hideous under the light.
After turning around to confirm that the football had entered the net, Li Mo let go of his hand covering his face, and grinned with blood on his face first!
This scene made the fans of Galatasaray feel their mentality burst!
At this moment, the bloody Great Demon King has leveled their "hell"!
(End of this chapter)
Sheffield United's coaching team made some "fine-tuning" of the team's tactical play overnight.
On the basis of seeking stability, some very "surprise" things have been added.
It's not really a risk, after all, it's something Sheffield United players usually practice.
If the Galatasaray fans hadn't gone too far last night, Speed would never have considered using such a tactic to torture the opponent and the fans of both sides.
But since the Galatasaray club didn't show the slightest behavior towards their fans, Speed felt that he didn't need to be polite.
Li Mo and his teammates are gearing up at the moment, anyone who is woken up after a deep sleep at night will be angry.
But they are professional players, and they can't vent their anger on the opponent's fans, so naturally they have to rub the opponent's players to have a good time.
After the final mobilization, the starting players of Sheffield United put on that serious face again and walked into the player tunnel.
Galatasaray's local players did not feel any pressure. In their home court, both dragons and tigers had to fight, and countless European powerhouses were buried here.
In their view, today's Sheffield United will also become the ghost of their home court.
What if it is the top of the Premier League?Compared with clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern, Sheffield United is still a rising star on the European football map.
No matter how popular the hype is, no matter how aggressive you are in the Premier League, you have no European results, so how dare you say that you are a strong team at the intercontinental level?
At best, he is a big Manchester City, who will be strong when facing average opponents, and will become weak when encountering tough opponents.
Of course, the Galatasaray players attach great importance to Li Mo and Bell, after all, these two are already football superstars.
But for the Sheffield United team, many players in the Galatasaray team still classify them as rookies in the European war.
There were many teams who didn't want to meet Sheffield United in the first round of the knockout round, but these teams did not include Galatasaray.
Their home court advantage is too prominent, and their home game style is rough and direct. Many giants are afraid of playing games on their turf, so they can't think of any reason why Sheffield United will not be psychologically timid. .
Compared with these teammates who had a little too much self-confidence, a bad thought flashed in Drogba's heart at this time.
If you want to talk about who knows Sheffield United best in Galatasaray, it is naturally him.
For him, Li Mo's previous performances have left a deep impression on him, but Sheffield United is by no means a team that relies on individual heroism to advance.
They are fierce, cunning, tenacious and united. Anyone who dares to ignore the words of other players in their team will definitely suffer a big loss.
But Drogba has only come to Galatasaray for a short time, and if he talks too much, he may annoy his teammates.
After thinking about it, Drogba finally chose to remain silent.
He now has all the honors he can have at the club level, and he just wants to enjoy the game. For things on the field, he should do his best. For the rest, let’s see the situation first.
※※※
At night, the Turk Telecom stadium was full of people. When the players from both sides stepped into the stadium, the deafening drums suddenly sounded in the stands of the home team fans!
Accompanied by the sound of shocking drums, were the ferocious burning "sea of fire" in the stands, and the white-red smoke that almost covered the sky above the stadium!
Galatasaray's home fans set off fireworks in their home stadium. The red heat seemed to break through the cold winter and ignite the stadium. The fiery red under the night sky created a hellish and terrifying atmosphere!
Li Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, sniffing the slightly pungent smell of fireworks in the air, and a flame was burning in his heart.
The scenes here are shocking enough, and the Galatasaray fans are indeed fanatical enough.
However, they should not try to anger the Sheffield United team. Today Sheffield United will let these Galatasaray fans understand that not all teams are afraid of their so-called rude style and home atmosphere.
They, they messed with the wrong person!
When the live broadcast cameras passed over the faces of the players, commentators from all over the world also got ready to start the heat before the game.
Duan Xuan partnered with Xu Yang today to explain the Champions League knockout match in the Wutai studio.
For Galatasaray, the two are quite familiar. After all, they are famous tough bones in the Champions League, so they are somewhat worried.
I am afraid that Sheffield United will not be able to withstand the fanatical atmosphere at home created by the Turks, and many giants are planted on it.
As for the comparison of strength, the two agreed that Sheffield United is higher than Galatasaray.
"As long as we don't concede a goal in the first half, I think Sheffield United have a great chance to control the situation. Galatasaray's defense, to be honest, is actually very limited. Those who play in the Turkish Super League The defenders can't withstand the impact of Berga Limer, the key is still in the midfield, Melo, Altentop, Sneijder, no matter what their current state is, we have to give respect to these names, Sheffield If Lenovo wants to get out, it must consider how to cut off the connection between these players and Drogba."
Listening to Xu Yang's eloquent talk, Duan Xuan felt that Sheffield United might not necessarily choose to retreat in the first half.
Because what he saw through the live broadcast were the calm faces of Sheffield United players.
Li Mo even pursed his lips to the camera and nodded, showing a very strong self-confidence!
How can this look like it's going to be kicked?
Duan Xuan even had a hunch that Speed's tactics today would surprise everyone.
It shouldn't be a confrontation, but it will never be a defensive counterattack in the half court.
After saying a few words to Xu Yang, Duan Xuan focused all his attention on the upcoming game. He couldn't wait to see the shocked expressions of the home team fans!
After the opening ceremony, Drogba and Sneijder stood at the kick-off point, and with the whistle of the referee, one of the last two games of the first round of the Champions League knockout round officially started!
After Duan Xuan quickly read the opening remarks, he dropped the topic for Xu Yang and asked him to introduce the starting lineups of both players today.
"The home team Galatasaray's two forwards today are Drogba and Yilmaz, and the four midfielders are Sneijder, Inan, Melo and Altentop from left to right, and the goalkeeper on the back line. Muslera is Uruguay's national goalkeeper.
The starting lineup for Sheffield United is exactly the same as when they played Manchester United in the last FA Cup game.
Li Mo and Vardy partnered as two forwards, Bale, Matic, Drinkwater and Medel in the midfield from left to right, and the defense line”
Accompanied by Xu Yang's introduction, the fans of Huaguo soon knew the matchup situation of the players from both sides today.
The striker Yilmaz can be regarded as a star player in the Turkish Super League.
He played 34 times in the Turkish Super League last season and scored 33 goals, which is close to the scoring efficiency of one goal per game. He is an out-and-out scoring machine in the Turkish Super League.
But in the face of Maguire plus Vertonghen, who is now more and more known as the first central defender combination in the Premier League, the performance of this Turkish Super League killer may be greatly reduced.
The key still depends on how much success Drogba has left.
If Drogba can continue to play a fulcrum role under Maguire's marking, then Yilmaz's life may be easier.
But if Drogba has nothing to do with the current Maguire, then Galatasaray's offensive may have to rely more on the performance of the two-wing players.
Great Altentop and Sneijder are still there after all, not to mention other aspects, experience and mentality are very top.
Not to mention how well they played on the defensive end, if they go all out to attack, Sheffield United also needs to respect these two players.
But when everyone was about to see how Sheffield United responded to Galatasaray's first wave of offensive, the Sheffield United players never retreated to defend their own half, but formed a three-pointer in the midfield. An echelon directly pressed towards Galatasaray!
Valdira went to the right, and Speed played another tactical design at the beginning. The fake [-] seconds turned into [-], and Li Mo followed, forcing Galatasaray in an instant. Pass the ball back first.
The home fans, who were still arrogant just now, quickly stopped cheering and booed the Sheffield United players with all their strength.
This is their home field!
Sheffield United played high-position pressure on them, it was unbearable!
However, their boos seemed to have lost their magic at this moment, and the Sheffield United players continued to put pressure on Galatasaray without being affected.
At the critical moment, Sneijder retreated to pick the ball out. Facing Vardy's rush, Sneijder calmly pulled the ball to hide, and then passed the ball to the middle.
Melo, who responded, was about to take the ball and turn around to play a wave of counterattacks. The Galatasaray fans on the scene also opened their voices and prepared to cheer for the offensive players.
As a result, Medel made a decisive and smart early foul, so the Turks had to swallow the cheers that spit out of their mouths back into their stomachs!
Melo, who was kicked to the calf and fell to the ground, was obviously very dissatisfied. He is already a hot-tempered player. He made his debut in the Turkish Super League last season and received 36 yellow cards in 13 appearances!
How could such a ruthless character swallow Medel's petty actions?
Melo, who climbed up from the turf, saw that the referee didn't even give a verbal warning, and walked towards Medel cursing.
As a result, a figure flashed over faster than Medel, directly blocking between Melo and Medel.
"Go back to your half! Don't make trouble!"
Seeing Li Mo who suddenly put his head on top of his head and spit flying everywhere, even Melo, who is known as a villain in football, was also dumbfounded.
Damn it, he was kicked to the ground by Medel just now!
Why now it looks like he took the initiative to trouble the Sheffield United players, Li Mo came out to stop him, this script seems to be reversed!
Melo is short-tempered and short-tempered, but his IQ is online. Looking at Li Mo, who is almost a full circle older than himself, he very wisely pushed Li Mo away and distanced himself.
Naturally, the referee hurried over with his whistle at this time. The game had only started three or four minutes ago, and the players on the field gave him this. It was really annoying!
The fans of both sides at the scene began to vent their anger, not only scolding the opponent's players on the field, but also scolding the opponent's fans on the field.
Although the number of Sheffield United fans is small, they are not afraid of spraying people. With their middle fingers up, they leaned over and uttered a series of elegant words starting with F.
The hot atmosphere on the scene made the audience in front of the TV call it wonderful.
Sheffield United is too fresh, they directly confronted Galatasaray at the beginning of the game, and the scene where Li Mo forced Melo back is also a classic. He dared to play tough at Galatasaray's home court, and many neutral fans liked it. Thumbs up for Sheffield United.
Enough man!
Because Li Mo had his hands behind his back when he was furious just now, and his attitude was quite good after the referee came over, so in the end the referee only verbally warned Li Mo and Melo, and then lightly signaled them Get back into the game quickly.
Li Mo was very satisfied, and left with a smile, leaving Melo standing there with a dazed expression.
Why was he warned by the referee in the end?
This shit is unreasonable!
Shouldn't Li Mo apologize to him and then give him another warning?The referee, you are biased, I dare you!
As a victim, Melo felt aggrieved rarely, and he just cursed a few words from the beginning to the end, why did things turn out like this.
Seeing this, Drogba also shook his head helplessly.
Li Mo is getting older and older, and immediately attracted the referee's attention to the "confrontation" between him and Melo.
At that time, they were all over the top, and Melo pushed Li Mo in the end. The referee didn't care who was instigating the two of them. In order to stop the development of the situation, both sides naturally had to hit [-] boards first.
Li Mo is the center forward, so it doesn't matter if he gets a warning. Melo is the only serious midfielder in Galatasaray's formation. If he gets a yellow card early, Galatasaray will be too passive.
Looking at the referee's final handling, Galatasaray's head coach Trim was naturally very dissatisfied.
The godfather of Turkish football is not necessarily mild-tempered, and he sprayed while standing on the sidelines, prompting the fourth official to rush forward to warn him.
On the other side, Speed felt extremely comfortable.
That's it, first arouse the dissatisfaction and anger of the Galatasaray team, and then let them be deflated. As long as today's referee whistles the same scale, Sheffield United will not be afraid of Galatasaray's so-called roughness at all. style.
Than rough?Li Mo and Drinkwater are all from the British Championship, and they are also known for their tough playing style in the Premier League Sheffield United in the past two seasons.
I'm afraid you're a hangover?
Originally, I wanted to play some gentle things with you, but in the end, you guys wanted to play some dirty routines, so everyone should simply point it out and just force it!
Speed is not used to this kind of team. The style of Sheffield United has gradually changed, but the team is still a tough team.
And, where is this?There are still tricks in the future, and I will play with you slowly today!
Speed sat on the coach's bench and folded his arms. He didn't know what tactics he was thinking about. After Galatasaray took a set kick, he immediately wanted to pass the ball to Drogba. It seemed that he couldn't bear it. Hold back your temper, and want to make a few simple and effective attacks as soon as possible.
But Maguire and Matic, who had been prepared for a long time, squeezed Drogba's space to hold the ball, and decisively went around to destroy the ball!
Today's World of Warcraft is no better than himself when he was young. Drogba, who is about 30 years old, can still hold the ball and split the side under the pressure of two defensive players.
But now, Drogba, who is about 35 days away from turning [-], really can't handle the double-teaming of two top defensive players.
If after the end of the 11-12 season, Drogba did not leave the Asian League, but chose to stay in the Premier League, his state would not decline so quickly.
But when he made the choice to leave the Premier League, such a day will inevitably come sooner or later.
Old players are like this. The older they are, the more time they have to spend on maintaining their bodies, and they cannot easily leave the top league stage.
Without high-standard pre-season training and almost rigorous physical reserve work, how can you compete with those players who are in their prime.
Now Drogba, playing in the Turkish League, or waiting for the state to recover, it may not be a problem to play in Serie A and Ligue [-] for a few more years, but he really cannot return to last year in the Premier League and Champions League competitive level.
Warcraft was blocked by Sheffield United at this point, and Galatasaray had to rely on their team's top scorer Yilmaz.
But this buddy hasn’t played much until now. Just now he wanted to charge the ball in the rib area of Sheffield United, but he was squeezed to the side by Vertonghen abruptly, and finally had to pass the ball back. Altentop came to meet him.
Both of the two center forwards were seen as uncomfortable, and the organization of the midfield was cramped by Sheffield United's pressure. Galatasaray's offensive was at a standstill for a while.
However, although they are in trouble on offense, Galatasaray's defense is still relatively in place.
Trim obviously studied the characteristics of Sheffield United's fast advancing tactics on the wing. Galatasaray's decisive fouls on the wing twice in a row prevented Sheffield United from counterattacking.
Drinkwater observed for a while, and after No. 17 minutes of the first half got the ball again, he made a tactical gesture, obviously to make a tactical change.
Matic withdrew to the side where Drinkwater was almost tied, and Medel also ran back from the frontcourt. With Bell and Vardy on the two wings, Sheffield United calmly organized in the midfield for a while.
This attempt to reduce the pace of the game and drag the game into a positional battle is unacceptable to Galatasaray.
They were going to take advantage of the hot atmosphere at home to try to score an early goal, but if Sheffield United wants to delay the rhythm at this time, isn't that disrupting their tactical deployment?
Besides, their two high center forwards are restricted by Sheffield United's backcourt defenders. In this case, playing positional battles with Sheffield United is asking for a dead end.
After all, Sheffield United can stop the aging Didier Drogba and Yilmaz, but Galatasaray is not sure that they can stop Li Mo and Bell, who has found a chance to advance.
To put it bluntly, Galatasaray's current defense line is just showing off in the Turkish Super League, and it can still beat the European war with its defensive system.
But when superstars like Li Mo and Bell ignore the pressure of their home court and play their feelings, it will be an out-and-out disaster for their defense.
They don't have a central defender who can limit the big center forward, and Li Mo just finished the combination of Ferdinand and Vidic a few days ago. Facing those two central defenders, Li Mo can score twice, Galatasaray Is this the central defender combination?
Therefore, the players of Galatasaray are very clear that they must raise the rhythm of the game, increase the number of offensive rounds, and then break the deadlock on the field as soon as possible.
Those Galatasaray players who didn't pay much attention to Sheffield United before the game had to admit at this time that the strength of Sheffield United was indeed far beyond their expectations.
And their home field advantage is not as great as expected.
The guys from Sheffield United are really hard-headed. There were so many boos and curses at the scene, it was as if they hadn't heard it, and they wanted to be tough with them.
Medel gave off his power, and Li Mo immediately stood up and let Melo suffer from a dumb loss. In terms of the feeling of playing so far, the Galatasaray players only think that Sheffield United's defense is really fucking tough. !
This Nima doesn't look like he just had a shopping match with Manchester United three days ago, and his physical fitness is too good.
The more they think about Galatasaray, the more they feel that something is wrong. In the end, they can only put aside distracting thoughts and increase their energy to force Sheffield United to speed up.
At this time, Drinkwater showed his demeanor as the core of the new generation of the British national team. He transferred the ball in constant interspersed and running, and slipped away from his own half and the middle circle. Galatasaray's pressing players were anxious.
When this man was in a hurry, his movements would inevitably become louder, and as Medel fell to the ground decisively, the referee's whistle sounded again.
"He dived! Our players didn't touch him, the referee, you see, he is about to sit up by himself!"
Altentop was still trying his best to defend Inan who had just stepped down, but Drinkwater put a big hand at this time, and before the referee turned his head, he pressed Medel, who was about to get up honestly, to the turf again.
So what the referee saw was Drinkwater's hand on the "painful" Medel's shoulder, with a concerned look on his face.
"I can see what's happening on the field, please stand back first, and then you, the number 8 of the home team, come over!"
Inan, who was a little guilty, didn't even move to defend himself, and he wasn't sure if he shoveled Medel's calf just now.
Maybe it was more just a rubbing of the studs, but seeing that Medel was still lying on the turf and did not get up, he himself had some doubts about whether he had really fouled.
After receiving a stern verbal warning, Yi Nan returned to his own half with his head drooping.
The warning he received this time was much more serious than that of Melo. The referee did not show a yellow card because he was more concerned about Galatasaray's home court. But the next time he fouls like this again, then It's definitely going to be a card.
Galatasaray's home fans are naturally about to explode at this time!
The two midfielders in the middle have both received warnings, and if anyone gets a yellow card later, will Sheffield United be more unscrupulous in their activities in the middle?
What kind of penalty is this? Medel should be sentenced to flopping!
For a while, the Turk Telecom stadium was booed again.
After the game resumed, the Galatasaray players really restrained their confrontation a little bit.
The confrontation that should be played will still be held, but they dare not do any tackles from the side or rear.
Today, the referee's whistle is relatively loose, but he is not the kind of character who blindly favors the home team.
And Sheffield United players also dare to play!
When they acted rudely, Sheffield United followed suit, which was completely shameless.
Galatasaray players always like to put others down at home, but when they themselves become the targets of being brought down, the pain in their bodies reminds them that now they are facing a team that can put down the airs completely The team that played dirty with them!
After a little hesitation, Sheffield United took control of the field for a long time, and Trim was so angry that he pointed at his disciples on the sidelines and yelled to make them more "active".
As soon as the majestic head coach spoke, the Galatasaray players on the field could only bite the bullet and press up and continue to press.
But this time Sheffield United changed their routine again. After passing back all the way, they directly divided the ball. Finally, Matt Ridge directly drove forward with a big foot. position of Li Mo.
To be honest, the two central defenders of Galatasaray, Nuunku is 1.8 meters 1.8 and weighs [-] kg, and Kaya is [-] meters [-] and is in the early [-]s.
Only Melo can cause Li Mo a little bit of trouble by working hard.
So when this long pass flew over, Li Mo tapped the football in the double-teaming of Melo and Nunku, and finally picked the ball out smoothly.
This scene of almost ignoring Galatasaray's backcourt defense left the home team fans at the scene speechless.
There were even quite a few irritable home team fans who directly scolded their own players.
In their opinion, it is better to keep Li Mo with a direct foul than to watch him smoothly pass the ball to Vardy.
This is so embarrassing!
But the scene that made them vomit blood even more soon came.
Vardy, who took the ball, tentatively took two steps on the side, and then decisively passed the ball back to Matthew Lorton, who came up to meet him.
And Matthew Lorton reached out to stop Vardy from running on the wing to help him open up the forward space, and directly passed the ball back to Drinkwater, who was smiling and retreating!
Feelings This time, Sheffield United's long pass is to help the players in the backcourt relieve the pressure of controlling the field. The ball circled around and finally returned to Drinkwater's feet!
The Galatasaray fans looked at the Sheffield United bench with red eyes. In their view, the Sheffield United players on the field are certainly hateful, but Speed, who designed this tactic, should be the most Object of condemnation.
All of a sudden, there was a muffled noise above Sheffield United's bench. What kind of drink cups, paper balls, and towels fell on the protective shed like rain.
But Speed shrank his neck, sat on the coach's bench and smiled, showing his white teeth. He looked very happy, and he was thinking of giving a thumbs up to the Sheffield United players on the field. It left a classic scene for the reporters on the scene.
No matter how crazy the Galatasaray fans at the scene are, Sheffield United is determined to drag the rhythm down today.
Of course, this is when they are in possession of the ball. Once Galatasaray successfully steals the ball, all Sheffield United players except Li Mo will instantly switch to the oppressive defensive mode.
The crazy pressing force made Galatasaray's players feel a little guilty.
In fact, if we really want to talk about the control of the midfield, it is still no problem for the three midfielders of Sneidega, Altentop, Melo, and Galatasaray to play with the organization.
But they were beaten dizzy by Sheffield United's strange trick.
In the final analysis, the striker can't press into the penalty area, the midfielder's advance is blocked, and there is no serious side burst. If you want to change, you can't change it, but you can only be led by the nose by the opponent.
The lineup designed by Trim mainly wants to use the midfield organization and conduction ability to cooperate with Drogba's fulcrum role, so that Yilmaz and Inan, who has a strong scoring ability, can get enough offensive opportunities.
Moreover, Melo, who scored [-] goals in the league last season, also has the ability to attack the opponent's defense line.
The arrangement of the offensive echelon and the arrangement of offensive tactics are more reasonable and reliable no matter how you look at it.
But Trim did not expect that Drogba, who went to Huaguo for a round, now returns to the Champions League, how could he be so "weak"?
Drogba couldn't get past Sheffield United's defensive design, and all the backs arranged by Trim seemed to lose their effect.
Yilmaz, who had killed all sides in the soil, got lost in Sheffield United's tough defense like steel in the backcourt, and Inan was restrained by Medel's fight.
However, Melo was overshadowed by Li Mo again. This buddy probably lost his mind and competed with Li Mo in the backcourt. Trim knew that it would be useless to expect Melo to advance in this game.
The game time in the first half was almost wiped out by Sheffield United.
When the irrational Galatasaray fans threw burning fireworks into the stadium, the referee also decisively blew the whistle to end the first half.
Upon seeing this, the staff and security personnel rushed into the venue, cleaning up those who needed to be cleaned up, and arresting those who needed to be arrested. The scene was very lively for a while.
Li Mo even took a few extra glances at the chasing battle between the security personnel and the rioting fans.
But the players on Galatasaray's side are obviously not in such a leisurely mood.
Trim's face sank, and the Galatasaray players knew something was wrong, and hurried back to the locker room.
The players of Sheffield United walked slowly into the player tunnel amidst the boos of almost the whole audience.
This first half was boring for many neutral fans. Sheffield United's tactics split Galatasaray's offensive rhythm, and even their own offensive rhythm.
But for the supporters of Sheffield United, they not only withstood Galatasaray's home power in the first half, but also succeeded in disgusting their players and fans. Don't be too happy!
You think of speed, I want to control the field, you want fast break, I want to fight positional warfare!
Who specially asked your fans to go to the hotel where our players rest to set off fireworks at night?
Isn't this what it should be like!
Most of the commentators from various countries did not have any personal inclinations and positions. They were just very curious and wanted to know how the head coaches of the two sides would adjust their tactics in the second half.
Trim definitely wants to win Sheffield United at home as much as possible, but if he really can't win the game, as long as he doesn't give Sheffield United an away goal, then he should also be able to accept the result of a draw.
After all, they will go to Sheffield United's home court to play in the next round. As long as they score a goal, Sheffield United will be cornered by them.
For Speed, the most important thing is to strive for away goals while not losing.
As long as they score an away goal in this game, they can also force Galatasaray into an embarrassing situation.
Now it depends on whether the head coaches on both sides choose to play it safe or give it a go.
After a short 15 minutes, the players of Sheffield United and Galatasaray switched sides and fought again, and neither side had yet chosen to make substitutions. This situation actually made Trim secretly relieved.
He has already made a choice, and he will try to stabilize the situation in the second half. If the game ends with a score of 0-0, it is actually not too bad for Galatasaray.
He was afraid that Speed would change his team at the beginning of the second half. If Sheffield United were to attack halftime, Galatasaray's defense might not be able to withstand it.
But after the game restarted, Trim watched the Sheffield United players actively move, and his mood suddenly became very bad!
Sheffield United did not change, but they adjusted the formation back to [-]!
Under the active ball-holding promotion, the four offensive players in the frontcourt of Sheffield United quickly forced Galatasaray to shrink the defense.
Bell is not the frustrated Sneijder, and Li Mo is not the aging Drogba. The attacking twin stars of Sheffield United are young.
Not to mention the strong desire to attack, their skills and bodies are also at or entering their peak state!
What Trim feared finally happened.
Sheffield United made a successful start in the second half, directly forming an offensive suppression against Galatasaray. Li Mo and Bell relied on their outstanding abilities to stab back and forth in Galatasaray's defense!
Speed is so bold, he dared to fight big at the beginning of the second half, and didn't care about Galatasaray's possible counterattack.
The players of Sheffield United seem to be like their coaches. They put in all their strength when they need to press up. Apart from the two central defenders, there is basically only one Matic who is lagging behind in the backcourt, so they are not afraid at all.
And with such a force input, once the front and rear offensive levels are spread out, as long as you pay attention not to lose the ball carelessly, the offensive will be wave after wave, which can completely stun Galatasaray's defensive players.
Li Mo dragged Melo to play hide-and-seek for half a game, and he couldn't hold back his desire to score a goal.
When the teammates on the left and right flanks are in position, what Li Mo has to do is very simple. With Vardy's running position involved, try to grab as much as possible and complete the task of shooting!
"It's a pity that Ding Ding didn't get the chance to play, otherwise, wouldn't it be great to have him delivering shells on the right?"
Li Mo smashed his mouth, thinking with some regret.
It's not that he dislikes the passing skills of Medel and Matthew Lorton. As far as the cross is concerned, Medel and Matthew Lorton can actually complete their passing tasks very well.
It's just that compared with De Bruyne, it must be a bit worse.
Fortunately, Li Mo doesn't think the cake is hard, as long as there is something to eat, besides, he still has Bell and Vardy by his side. Once Galatasaray's defense line is pulled apart, there are many opportunities.
Galatasaray's double central defenders Nunku and Kaya are staring at Li Mo who is running like a big enemy.
It's not that the two of them want to vent their defensive confidence, but that the difference in physical fitness is the real difference here. They are not good jumpers, and they really have no confidence that they can restrain Li Mo in the battle for the top later. .
They both want Drogba to come back and help them if they can.
It's a pity that the game only started in the second half, and it's not yet the final moment when everyone retreats. Even if Drogba is willing to help, their head coach Trim will not allow such a weird scene to happen at this moment.
Let your own center withdraw to the penalty area to defend the opponent's center at the beginning of the second half, what is this like? !
In desperation, the two central defenders of Galatasaray could only cast a "take care of yourself" look at the goalkeeper Muslera behind them.
They can try their best to fight with Li Mo, but if they accidentally let Li Mo get the chance to shoot, they can only rely on Muslera to solve the problem by himself.
The Uruguayan national team could only helplessly make a "give it to me" gesture.
His strength is actually pretty good, not top in European football, but still close to top-notch, but facing Li Mo at this moment, Muslera actually feels a little bit drummed.
Before the start of this game, he had watched a lot of Li Mo's scoring videos in the Premier League, and the explosive shots in the penalty area were so fucking outrageous.
The key is that Li Mo's kicking range is very wide. The first five meters of the big penalty area is basically Li Mo's absolute threat area, and the two sides of the penalty area can also shoot around without dead ends. For such an opponent, you can change any goalkeeper Feel nervous unconsciously.
And when the players on both wings of Sheffield United began to kick the ball frequently to Galatasaray's penalty area, Li Mo's personal performance officially began.
Nunku and Kaya did their best to interfere with Li Mo, which made Galatasaray last nearly 10 minutes.
