opening a balotelli

Chapter 310 After the hustle and bustle, the league sprints



"De Bruyne's perfect cross from the ground! Bell! Absolutely good chance! The angle of the shot is a bit small, but it's no problem for Bell, let's see. Bell's inverted triangle! Li Mo pushes! The ball Going in-!!! Sheffield United's goal to seal the victory came!
It is still Sheffield United's classic quick counterattack!De Bruyne, Bell, Li Mo!They passed Swansea's defense in an instant with superb passing skills and super fast speed!Li Mo scored twice!Speed ​​ran to his disciples on the sidelines!Sheffield United are only 10 minutes away from winning their first championship trophy of the new season! "

In Zhan Jun's high-pitched and hoarse passionate commentary, the Huaguo audience could clearly see that the entire Wembley Stadium had been completely reduced to a carnival place for Sheffield United fans!
Almost all the players, coaches, and staff members on the Sheffield United bench rushed out, and ran straight to Li Mo, who were celebrating with their shoulders and shoulders near the corner flag area. The ones who are one step ahead are naturally Sheffield United's players on the field.

Li Mo didn't keep his teammates calm this time. He, Bell and De Bruyne opened their arms and laughed to welcome the hugs of teammates one after another.

Speed ​​also completely lost his poise at this moment. After throwing himself on the players, he raised his arms and roared loudly towards the stands, just like his high-spirited appearance 20 years ago!

"First crown and first crown! First win the League Cup, then the League, and finally the FA Cup! We want to rule England this year!"

Vardy didn't know when he grabbed Li Mo's arm and threw himself on Li Mo's back, clamoring to win the three important championships in English football this year.

"Just this year? Jamie, you have become less courageous. At least you have to win three consecutive league titles, and then another three consecutive FA Cups!"

Drinkwater's teasing attracted the approval of many Sheffield United players, and Speed ​​also laughed and scolded a few words.

These little bastards haven't even won a league championship yet, they just want to win three consecutive championships in the league. They really think they are Manchester United's replacements!
"Don't give them a chance! We must firmly hold the victory in our hands. If there is any accident later, you can wait to go back to the Haruner base for additional training!"

In the end, he jokingly reminded the players that Speed ​​also sorted out his slightly messy attire, and left the celebration center with the assistant coach.

At this time, as coaches, they must remain calm, watch the opponent's adjustments, and then make the final tactical decision.

The stage of celebration is left to the hard-working players on the field. Anyway, with Li Mo, Drinkwater and Maguire on the field, the Sheffield United players will not lose their minds and vigilance.

Although they will celebrate very passionately, at the same time, they are also the people who most want to win the championship trophy.

Arrogance does not belong to the final winner, and Speed ​​believes that his disciples have already deeply understood this truth.

Li Mo took the time to hold a short meeting with his teammates at the end. Before entering the No. 80 minutes of the game, Swansea still had a strong motivation to counterattack, and their physical fitness was enough to support them in the last two crazy games. ten minutes.

It is impossible for Sheffield United to enter the defensive mode at this moment, so now each of them must cheer up.

Everyone has to make sacrifices for the final victory, including Li Mo, who will also actively withdraw to help his teammates in the midfield fight for defense. At such a final moment, no one in the Sheffield United team Man has tactical privileges.

"It's time to return to defense and return to defense. Help the brothers around you to watch some opponents' running positions, remind each other, and supplement each other's defenses until Swansea's counterattack momentum is exhausted! Beat them and take back that damn championship trophy! We Come back to Sheffield for another carnival!"

Li Mo made the last pitch mobilization, and the players of Sheffield United also roared and said that they would crush Swansea to death.

When the game restarted, Swansea had no way out, and could only put all their energy into the offense, while Sheffield United launched a tough and tragic fight with Swansea in the midfield and two wings!

Li Mo's retreat helped Joaquin to share a lot of defensive pressure. In the case of Swansea's reckless attack, the reinforcement of the defense in the middle allowed Sheffield United to still protect the safety of their own defense in the third area.

This kind of oppressive defense gave Sheffield United a lot of good counterattack opportunities again, but because of Li Mo's return to defense and the lack of fulcrum in the frontcourt, Sheffield United's counterattack looks more like a flank. The ball consumes time.

The fact is indeed the case. Swansea is crazy about speeding up, and Sheffield United will naturally do everything possible to control the rhythm.

The game is about to enter No. 70 minutes, and Sheffield United leads by two goals. At this time, it is necessary to play delay tactics. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. This is a normal part of football. Make the same choice as Sheffield United.

Speed ​​was not idle at the moment. Seeing that the substitute players on the sidelines were almost warmed up, he seized the time and changed two people in a row at the second minute of No. 70. Medel replaced Matthew Lorton, and then Den Bailey replaced Joaquin.

Both the right wing and the midfielder were replaced with fresh troops to increase the area of ​​coverage and interference. Speed's decisive adjustment made Swansea's hope of equalizing extremely slim.

What's even more exasperating is that Sheffield United is still unwilling to back down and defend, and is still consuming Swansea's offensive motivation and their physical fitness in the midfield.

This makes it impossible for Swansea players to play long passes. After all, kicking the ball from the backcourt is not as threatening as calmly kicking the ball in the middle.

In desperation, Laudrup had no choice but to replace two forwards in one breath, and removed Pablo Hernandez, who had little chance in this game, and midfielder Britton.

With Routledge and Nathandale on the two wings, Swansea almost sent five attacking players in Sheffield United's half!

This is going to be a desperate fight. When Swansea starts to attack, there will almost only be Ki Sung-yong and Monk left behind in the backcourt. Ashley Williams will enter the penalty area of ​​Sheffield United to act battering ram.

Seeing this, Li Mo and Drinkwater no longer hesitated, and directly directed their teammates to start shrinking the defense.

Speed, who was sitting on the coach's bench, stood up. He couldn't sit still for a while, so he went directly to the sidelines and began to direct and adjust the positions of the backcourt players.

Swansea's heavy pressure at the last moment put a lot of defensive pressure on Sheffield United, but after the two sides played a few offensive and defensive rounds, the defensive players of Sheffield United have greatly increased their confidence.

Swansea's newly replaced forwards are all dexterous offensive players under 1.8 meters, and in Sheffield United's crowded backcourt at the moment, such offensive players have almost no room to play.

After all, there are people everywhere. Sheffield United's defensive players and Swansea's offensive players blocked Sheffield United's half.

Not to mention grabbing points, as soon as the ball is pulled to the side, Swansea has to quickly pass the high ball into Sheffield United's penalty area, otherwise the Sheffield United players will immediately jump in front of the passer to interfere with the passer.

Under this rhythm, the quality of the high-altitude cross sent by Swansea was worrying. Maguire stood in the penalty area like a god, overturning a group of Swansea players who were trying to grab points.

After bombing for a long time, there was no effect at all. Seeing this, Laudrup tried to make his players play a little more patiently, and conduct and pull more on the periphery of Sheffield United's defense.

But when the game passed the No. 80 minutes of the game, the situation on the court was beyond his control.

The Swansea players were getting more and more impatient. If Li Mo hadn't returned to the back line to concentrate on assisting his teammates in defense, Sheffield United might have played a few high-quality counterattacks.

In the No.806 minute, Speed ​​finally played the last card in his hand.

"Stones is about to play! And we can see that on the electronic card, Stones replaced No. 9 of Sheffield United, Li Mo! Speed ​​is going to let Li Mo accept it alone at the last moment. Opportunity for Sheffield United fans to applaud! As the biggest contributor to Sheffield United's victory in this game, Li Mo is about to bring another championship trophy to his team. He deserves this moment and all Sheffield United supporters love!"

"Xiao Li is doing well! This game scored twice, broke the deadlock with one goal, and killed the game with one goal. He is reliable at critical moments."

Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu happily watched the scene where Li Mo accepted the standing ovation from all the Sheffield United fans, and felt very clear and happy in their hearts.

Speed ​​also gave Li Mo a strong hug on the sidelines. The master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled without saying anything. They seemed to have a tacit understanding.

After high-fiving his teammates on the bench, Li Mo finally sat down next to Vardy and rubbed his head to let him cheer for the next league game.

Having played in the Champions League and League Cup finals one after another, Speed ​​will definitely rotate most of today's starting players in the next league game.

On the offensive line, Joaquin and De Bruyne should continue to play, but Bell and he must stay at home to rest.

"At that time, you promise a few more big meals and let Kevin and Joaquin pass you more passes. Dimita will pass you the ball when he sees your position. This is all an opportunity. You have to Stand up!"

Listening to Li Mo's bewitching, Vardy also fantasized about his next league match.

His requirements are not high, and he doesn't expect any hat-tricks. It is cool to score two goals.

Now his number of goals in the league is just in double figures, and there are still [-] games left in the league. Excluding the number of rotation games, he should still have about ten chances to play. Scoring five goals can reach the goal he boasted before the season The goal.

And just when Vardy thought that he would eventually reach the top ten in the Premier League scorer list, and then be called up to the British national team to participate in the 14 World Cup in Brazil, a whistle interrupted his dream.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

Li Mo hugged Vardy's neck, laughed and rushed into the field with his teammates!
The Sheffield United fans at the scene hugged and cheered to celebrate their first championship of the season, and at the moment in Sheffield, almost the entire city was in a carnival.

When Sheffield United won the championship, it was around [-] pm in England, which can be described as the beginning of the prime time for rest and entertainment.

Therefore, the bars in the streets and alleys of Sheffield are almost full at this time. The fans of Sheffield United gathered together to toast to celebrate the team winning another championship. The cars on the street also started honking. United fans cheered and rushed to the street, very lively.

Although it can't reach the shocking scene of nearly [-] fans gathering on the street last season, Sheffield United can be regarded as a strange one among the current Premier League powerhouses because of the "invigorating teachers and mobilizing crowds" because of winning the League Cup.

Fans of many other teams expressed sourly on social networks that Sheffield United is still a country bumpkin at heart, how could they have such a big scene just because they won the League Cup.

But the facts have proved that the output against the wind will never end well, and many fans who are sore teeth have been sprayed by the excited Sheffield United fans. In addition to Li Mo's increasingly large fan base, who dares to be sour Sheffield United, then you have to be prepared to fight a group of people.

After Sheffield United won the League Cup and received the prize, they directly boarded the plane back to Manchester, and then took the bus sent by the club back to Sheffield from Manchester, saving a lot of time and directly catching up with the club's event that night Celebration banquet.

Wang Mu greeted each of the champions in person with a smile on his face, and in the end he pulled Speed ​​affectionately. I don't know what the two communicated, but the handsome old man also returned to his seat with a smile in the end.

In terms of eating and drinking, except for the players who will play in the league in two days and need to pay attention, the rest of the players who are about to have at least two days off have no restrictions.

In addition to still not drinking, Li Mo has relaxed a lot in terms of eating now, as long as he eats happily when celebrating his victory, he just needs to continue to be strict with himself during the preparation period.

The climax of the celebration banquet is naturally the moment of awarding bonuses.

Wang Mu didn't say anything nonsense, and directly asked the staff around him to bring up two suitcases. On behalf of the club's senior management, he handed out generous bonuses to every player, coaching staff and staff.

The real banknotes were in their hands, and the whole team of Sheffield United was very excited.

As much as what was said before the game, as much as the club will pay after the goal is achieved, even Trippier, who is still recovering from his injury, has received a bonus without discount. The boss is so generous and the team is so strong. The bottom of my heart is even more desperate for the club.

After the celebratory banquet was over, Wang Mu chatted with each player for a few more words, and then left very "appropriately". After seeing the longing in the eyes of the players, Speed ​​directly announced the holiday arrangement , but also laughed and scolded them not to play too much.

Now with the excellent record, not to mention the star players in the Sheffield United team, even Matthew Lorton and Cresswell have a lot of fame, so in terms of image management, naturally, it cannot be as good as before. So casual.

In principle, Speed ​​doesn't care about the players' private life, but he will mention it appropriately as it concerns the club's external image.

Fortunately, Li Mo and the old captain Chris Morgan are currently in the locker room. The few single players who like to play just go to nightclubs to have fun, and the players with partners rarely have scandals. Peace of mind with the club executives.

Naturally, Li Mo wouldn't stop his teammates from having fun, he just reminded everyone to remember to say hello to the group when they go home to rest after playing, so they stopped talking too much.

He himself said goodbye to Maguire and the others and went home to rest directly.

Krystal went back to South Korea to sort out the team work for the second half of the year. By the way, she discussed with her family about studying in the UK. She has already been admitted to a university in South Korea. Li Mo asked the club to settle the matter of Krystal coming to Sheffield as an exchange student. OK.

During this period of time, Li Mo has been asking Charlie to help him find a new residence. The original small villa is very comfortable, but if Krystal comes to live with him, he has to find a new residence, otherwise he will be annoyed by the paparazzi every day. Traveling is too troublesome.

In addition to the problem of size and room, it is also necessary to buy a large single-family house in order to allow friends and family to come to England to have enough rest space in the future.

Mendez will solve the security issue, and Li Mo doesn't need to worry about it. He just needs to pack his bags and move in. Krystal is very interested in the decoration, so Li Mo will directly hand it over to her.

The double harvest in love and career made Li Mo very satisfied with his current life.

The joy after winning the League Cup made him more determined to win the next league championship.

But the reality made Li Mo a little depressed.

After losing a large number of main players, in the league on February 2th, Sheffield United unexpectedly lost to Wigan Athletic, who was second to last in the league, which shocked a lot of people's attention!
After all, even without Li Mo and Bell, Vardy, Berbatov, and the trident of Dirk, it is enough to reduce the dimensionality of Wigan Athletic's defense.

Not to mention that the three midfielders of Medel, Joaquin and De Bruyne have an absolute advantage in the game.

No one could have imagined that Sheffield United, who had not lost against the Manchester City duo and the New Blues, would end up unbeaten against Wigan Athletic, who was almost at the bottom of the league.

The score of 3-2 is scary enough. Even if Sheffield United is ahead, many fans may feel that Sheffield United did not play well enough today, and Wigan Athletic stabbed twice.

It happened that Wigan Athletic scored three goals in the game, which made many fans who saw the score news after the game feel very incredible.

Only fans who have watched the game know that Wigan Athletic scored only one goal relying on their skills and tactics, and the remaining two goals were lucky refractions that deflated Sheffield United.

A long-range shot hit the back of Stones' calf and deflected into the goal guarded by Sommer, and another ball slid into Vertonghen's back to make Sommer hate again.

Vardy's goal in the No.706 minute of the second half almost gave Sheffield United the hope of an equalizer, but in the end time and luck were on Wigan Athletic's side.

After swallowing this bitter pill at home, the Sheffield United players on the field felt very aggrieved and unwilling. Speed ​​also seemed very helpless at the post-match press conference, and could only congratulate Wigan politely. Athletic won a life-saving victory.

Usually it is considered lucky to have one chance to deflect a goal in a game. Wigan Athletic actually got shit luck and used two deflections to play their brightest game of the season.

Apart from explaining it with luck, Speed ​​really couldn't think of what to say about this game.

If you want to talk about tactics, Wigan Athletic's tactics are to put on a big bag and add a midfielder and then put in a long shot. Is there anything worth talking about?

All the reporters wanted to see was him sputtering, or pulling some eye-popping complaints from the Sheffield United players.

But Sheffield United is not a team that can't afford to lose. Even if the undefeated gold medal is broken, the whole team is very depressed. The players are still gracious and sent blessings to Wigan Athletic.

After the game, fans of Sheffield United also left messages on the social media of today's starters to express their comfort and understanding.

Although Sheffield United lost this game in an upset, and the point gap with Manchester United has also narrowed to nine points, but with the main players returning to training one after another, Sheffield United fans still have full confidence in the team .

However, on the Internet in the past few days, the counterattack of Manchester United fans has made Sheffield United supporters feel uncomfortable.

Losing to Wigan Athletic was something that shouldn't have happened, and after the loss, the fans of Sheffield United didn't have any headwind output, and they all honestly hibernated.

But those taunting voices were firmly remembered by them, and they only launched a counterattack after winning the next game.

After returning to the Haruner training base, Speed ​​also declined all interview requests from the media, comforted the injured disciples, and then devoted himself to the preparations for the next round of competition.

But in the coach's office where the Sheffield United players couldn't see, Speed ​​didn't feel disappointed at the loss of his undefeated gold as the outside world guessed. Instead, he discussed the next step with the assistants with a relaxed face. The field's starters.

The undefeated belief in winning the championship supported Sheffield United to create a fierce record this season, but this belief also made Sheffield United more or less passive in front of fans all over the world.

Any mistakes or failures will be criticized by a bunch of experts who don't know where they come from. To be honest, Speed ​​doesn't like this kind of attention.

Not only some members of his coaching staff have reported that they are under too much pressure, but the players in the team have also set many unrealistic super high standards for themselves.

When people work with a tight spirit, they will be very efficient in the short term, but if they do so in the long run, the mental pressure will be too great.

Pursuing higher goals is a good thing, but a season is a process of continuous change. In 38 league games, temporary gains and losses cannot determine the final position of a team, but a mental breakdown is likely to make a team The team lost the chain at the critical moment of the championship.

Now that he has the opportunity to get rid of this pressure, Speed ​​feels that losing to Wigan Athletic is not necessarily a bad thing.

At least he didn't lose in the strong dialogue and hand over the points to his direct competitors.

On the afternoon of February 2, Speed ​​held a team meeting on the day the team resumed training.

He did not discuss the recent tactical changes of the team, nor asked the players to reflect on the quality of training. Instead, he opened up and talked about the recent excessive attention paid to Sheffield United by the outside world.

The content of this conversation is not leaked. Only the coaching staff and the players themselves know that none of the club's staff can approach today's training ground, so everyone talked a lot more casually.

Li Mo bluntly said that 90.00% of the media is bullshit. He never cares about the outside world's opinions or judgments on him. Brother Xiaosha also said that only the team's achievements and the support of the fans are the most important. It's all fleeting.

"Whenever they hold us high, that's when we need to be vigilant. You see, I only won one Community Shield in English football, but I got lost in the outside world several times. I was actually a failure when I finally left Liverpool, so guys, don't go to the so-called titles that are added to you in the accident world, only the trophy you get in your hand is real and your own!"

A lot of Sheffield United players were woken up by the self-deprecating statement of Dirk.

Yes, they have played a lot of beautiful games this season, and they have also defeated strong opponents in the league many times. In the Champions League, they even stepped into the quarter-finals with one foot, but they have nothing but a League Cup championship. Win it!

If the league cannot win the championship in the end, let alone the so-called undefeated golden body, so what if the number of undefeated games surpassed AC Milan across seasons?

After all, what they want most is the championship, the Barclays Cup that symbolizes that they have become the new kings of the Premier League!
Winning the championship undefeated sounds awesome, but at best it is just adding an extra luster to the championship title. If they can't win the championship, the voices praising them now will come back in time, and they will also become one of the many losers.

Such an ending is definitely not what the Sheffield United players wanted. Through mutual enlightenment, the entire Sheffield United team can be regarded as freed from the previous mental shackles and went into battle lightly again.

Li Mo also comforted Dirk as a joke. After all, Dirk could say he was a loser, but in fact, he was only one step away from the Premier League champion and the Champions League champion.

For more players, his runner-up is considered a very brilliant achievement, and it cannot be called a failure in any case.

"This time we will win the championship together! Dirk, the League Cup is just the beginning, you will get all the honors you want here, I promise!"

Li Mo's serious speech after the joke moved Dirk very much, but he has already passed the peak of his career, and if he can stay in the Premier League for one more season, he will play another season. It is of course better to have a championship, and it doesn't matter if there is no championship. , he has already seen it very openly.

But Li Mo is obviously serious. Although he didn't overemphasize, he will try his best to fulfill the promise he made.

Whether it's Dirk Dirk, Joaquin, or Berbatov, these veterans didn't come here for nothing for honor. With them, Sheffield United can improve so fast this season.

If Sheffield United wins the domestic triple crown this season, these veterans are undoubtedly worthy of such honors. Without their rotation support, it is impossible for Sheffield United to fight to the end in multi-line battles.

Even if they stay for another season or two and leave, Li Mo and Sheffield United will remember what they have done, and there is no gift that is more suitable than the championship to send off these veterans. This can be regarded as an alternative warmth of Sheffield United .

※※※

After throwing away the excess pressure on their bodies, the Sheffield United team seemed to be geared up, and they were full of fighting spirit and motivation in preparation for the game.

In the upcoming March schedule, Sheffield United will first go to an away game against Everton, and then prepare for the quarter-finals of the FA Cup at home. They will face Blackburn at home.

And on March 3th, Galatasaray will come to Sheffield to make a final fight. If Sheffield United passes this level, it will achieve the Champions League goal of this season that Speed ​​said.

Reaching the top eight is considered a success!

The time to prepare for the battle is still sufficient, but the time interval between the three games is relatively short, and Speed ​​still needs to do a good job of rotation.

In the end, the FA Cup game against Blackburn naturally became the main battlefield for the rotation players. Li Mo and their main players are trying to fight for the league battle with Everton and the menacing Turkish overlord.

On the afternoon of March 3, the main players of Sheffield United who had a full rest came to Goodison Park.

No.20 In the eight rounds of the Premier League, there are only two games that can be called the focus of the match, the top six team battle between Sheffield United VS Everton, and the rivalry between Arsenal and Tottenham.

The match between Sheffield United and Everton started ahead of schedule, which naturally attracted the most attention from the media and fans.

Sheffield United once fell into the center of public opinion after losing to Wigan Athletic. Although the Sheffield United club followed up with a cold treatment, but to this day, there are still many good people who are making fun of this game.

They naturally want to see Sheffield United collapse and continue to lose at this time, so today's league is also a good battle for Sheffield United to fight back against doubts.

Simply winning is not enough, to win in a suppressive manner, both the scene and the final score must be good, only in this way can all those ghosts and monsters be blown away.

Speed ​​did not set too high a standard for the players, he meant that two goals win would meet the standard, but it is also a good thing for the players to have greater pursuits, he did not intervene too much, but emphasized to be careful not to get injured.

After all, after Trippier was injured before, he could only play now. Today, he can only stand by as a substitute and find his feelings in the second half. Speed ​​really doesn't want to see the main players get injured again.

At 20 o'clock in the afternoon, amidst the anticipation of countless fans, the No.[-] Premier League eight-round focus match officially started at Goodison Park.

Vardy's physical condition is still good, so today Speed ​​continued to send him and Li Mo to form a double forward.

In the four midfielders, Bell and Joaquin firmly occupy the starting positions on both sides, and Matic and Dembele form a double-high combination in the backcourt.

Drinkwater was a rare substitute and was on standby off the court.

On the defense line, Vertonghen is also on standby today. Stones and Maguire are partnered as central defenders, with Matt Ridge on the left and Medel on the right.

The goalkeeper position is Shay, who has been training quite well recently. For the sake of the third-line battle in the future, Speed ​​plans to let Shay play a few more rounds of the league to find out how he feels.

Everton has a four-five-one formation.

But what is more strange is that Everton did not use a full-time midfielder today, but continued to use the Gibson + Osman double central midfielder combination that has worked well recently.

Fellaini is still standing behind the striker Jelavic, acting as Moyes' tactical surprise. At first glance, the formation is reliable, but if you think about it carefully, you don't know what kind of brain Moyes uses in this lineup. circuit out.

Gibson + Osman, one of the two midfielders is physically injured, and there is a psychological shadow in the confrontational intensity. Live a ball.

Fellaini was willing to go back to help defend, although he couldn't stop Li Mo, but at least he could suppress Dembele's advance a little bit.

However, considering Fellaini's current important role in Everton's offensive system, it may be difficult for him to be distracted and fly up and down.

Moyes may have figured it out. Anyway, the defense can't stop Sheffield United, so it's better to strengthen the offensive passing ability and have a mutual explosion.

But he better think so, because at least it proves that he has indeed prepared tactics to deal with Sheffield United, but if he really thinks that Gibson is enough to be a single midfielder.
At this moment, no one could guess Moyes' tactical intentions. Speed ​​even wondered whether Moyes had prepared a secret weapon to deal with him, and seemed a little surprised.

However, as the game started, Sheffield United tentatively fought Everton in the midfield for a few minutes, and the Sheffield United players quickly reacted.

Feelings, Moyes really has great confidence in his new midfielder!

Forget about Osman, he really has two brushes, what does it mean for your sick Gibson to be the core of the backcourt?
Seeing that Li Mo cut off the ball from Gibson's feet with a counterattack, the players on both sides of Sheffield United and Everton were a little unresponsive.

If it hadn't been for Jagielka's decisive kick to poke away Li Mo's football, Everton might fall behind in the 7th minute of the opening!
Since then, Sheffield United's frontcourt players have repeatedly put pressure on Gibson on this point. As a result, Everton's backcourt organization has almost come to a standstill. Osman had to take over the organization task from Gibson. Trying to reignite the war with Sheffield United on the wing.

After all, Everton's current two full-backs are in very good condition. Miralas and Pienaar are also powerful players. Even though they are not as good as Bell and Joaquin, they can directly form a connection with Fellaini in the frontcourt.

Osman's idea is good, but since Sheffield United has seen the hidden dangers of Everton's midfielder, it is impossible to follow his thinking and play against the wing.

"Go in the middle and crush them to death!"

The midfielders of Sheffield United quickly unified their thinking, such a good loophole, how can they be worthy of Moyes' arrangement if they don't make good use of it?
Li Mo chuckled, got stuck on Gibson with his back and raised his hands for the ball. Sheffield United played a long pass, just like the matchup with Chelsea, and it was over to find Li Mo!
You can't get stuck in the middle, Li Mo hits a target, Bell and Joaquin come in to respond, and there is Dembele behind who is ready to attack, I just forcefully attack your backcourt defense, what can you do to me?

Moyes was dumbfounded.

He is not really stupid. Gibson and Osman played quite well in the starting game before. This young midfielder who was abandoned by Manchester United due to injuries is actually very characteristic.

Physical fitness looks good, he has a long-range shot, solid passing skills, and can play as a midfielder and central midfielder. Moyes saw it, isn't this the Everton version of Drinkwater!

After using it smoothly, Moyes naturally wants to give Gibson more tactical weight, just like Speed ​​trained Drinkwater before.

But he really didn't expect that the kid who played against the middle and lower teams dared to fight hard, and his technical characteristics were also fully demonstrated. How could he be soft into noodles after playing Sheffield United?
Moyes, who was puzzled, felt that he had been fooled, but he didn't think about it, what level of impact was Li Mo?
Gibson was already tortured by injuries and was about to leave the top league stage. How could he dare to confront Li Mo head-on to the end, subconsciously avoiding it became instinctive.

In other words, relying on the solid technical foundation laid at Manchester United, Gibson played against the mid-lower teams in the Premier League, and the confrontation rhythm is slightly weaker, so he can still play.

But playing against a tough team like Sheffield United, which is full of steel slag in its bones, he was discouraged first.

Moyes quickly called Neville Jr. to warm up.

Even though Neville Jr. is 36 years old, he is still the best defensive midfielder in Everton's formation, and his tactical genius can be regarded as a timely response.

However, after all, it will take some time from warm-up to substitution, and Sheffield United's offensive does not wait for anyone.

Driven by Li Mo, in the 13th minute of the first half, Joaquin received Li Mo's ball and broke into Everton's penalty area, and then assisted Bell with a low cross to score the goal!

Speed ​​laughed numbly, no wonder that no matter how well the tactics are arranged, it is not as good as the opponent's cooperation.

The balance on the field was broken in the first ten minutes. Whether Sheffield United continued to press forward or retreated to defend and counterattack, anyway, they had the initiative of the situation. Moyes shot himself in the foot this time. what.

Neville Jr. succeeded in replacing the frustrated Gibson in the No. 16 minute. Moyes couldn't care less about comforting the poor young man. He was anxiously standing on the sidelines to signal the players on both wings to actively insert.

Fellaini has entered the peak of his career this season. He has scored seven goals and provided four assists in the league. He successfully helped Everton return to the European theater and firmly suppressed Arsenal who want to be on top.

So at this moment, Moyes is pinning all his hopes on Fellaini, just like when he was in trouble before, hoping that this big man can play his role as a fulcrum in the frontcourt and help Everton score an equalizer as soon as possible. ball.

But at this moment, Fellaini looked at Matic and Dembele who were staring at him, and felt a little bitter in his heart.

He also wants to be a hero, but it depends on who the opponent is.

He and Matic have played against each other many times. In terms of physical fitness, the opponent is completely worthy of him, and in terms of technology, the opponent is even better than him.

Taking a step back, even if Matic has been carried, there is still an equally tall Dembele waiting for him to fight, and Maguire behind him is even a super heavyweight player.
Fellaini felt guilty, and Everton's offensive threat dropped several levels in an instant.

While Moyes was scratching his head, in the No.204 minute, Li Mo unreasonably rushed past Neville Jr.'s interception, received Bell's sweep pass and shot successfully on the left side of Everton's penalty area!
Everton's goalkeeper Muccio was stunned by this super shot. He didn't even react a little. The football rubbed against the goal post and hit the net behind him!

This ball made Moyes directly hear the voice of his own heartbreak.

You have two goals in 10 minutes, Sheffield United has eaten gunpowder today, so anxious to attack? !

Everton's players on the field were a little flustered, but Sheffield United's offensive players felt more and more playing.

In the No.307 minute, after Dembele knocked on Everton's goal for the third time with a burst shot from outside Everton's penalty area, the Everton fans at Goodison Park were too lazy to boo. Hush.

Sheffield United is constantly rubbing against Everton's midfield, and Moyes doesn't even have the means to counter it. Three goals in the half, what else is there to say?The Everton fans clicked straight away.

In the end, Speed ​​couldn't bear to see Moyes too embarrassing. In the second half, Sheffield United's players slowed down. In the No. 603 minute, Speed ​​even replaced Li Mo and Bell in one breath. Come down and let Moyes shout good man in his heart.

The final score of 4-1 was impressive enough. If Speed ​​hadn't signaled the players on the field to put some water, Everton might not even be able to score a goal to save face.

And after a comfortable victory, those yin and yang voices surrounding Sheffield United quickly dissipated.

However, Manchester United also beat Norwich 4-0 in this round of the league, and they are still biting the tail of Sheffield United tightly.

There are still ten games left in the Premier League this season, and Sheffield United and Manchester United have also entered the final sprint!
