Chapter 367 Young Army vs. Old Woman
Chapter 367 Young Army vs. Old Woman
"You're talking about the little black guy who didn't sign a contract with Manchester United before?"
Speed thought for a long time, and finally found the tall and thin black figure in the back of his memory.
"I still remember that kid. When I was inspecting Daniel, I saw other players in Manchester United's youth training echelon. But Lee, are you sure you are talking about the super midfielder, not Pirlo?"
Seeing Speed's suspicious expression, Li Mo confirmed again and again.
"It's him, Pogba. He played against us in the 11-12 season. He went to Juventus last year. I watched his game. I think his talent is very good. Boss, you Don’t you want to train another top midfielder?”
Li Mo's seductive words made Speed ponder for a moment.
Pogba was able to stand out among Manchester United's youth players. It was impossible for him to be talented, but Speed also had hesitation in his heart.
That was when he was drinking with Ferguson before, Ferguson's evaluation of some players in the Manchester United team at that time.
"That's a good boy, but he can't bear his temper, and he's a bit too optimistic. You know, for us, discipline and composure will always be the core qualities of a midfielder. It's good for him to let him go. , It is also good for Manchester United. If I am still coaching, then I can slowly wear down his temper, but I am retired, and the new coach can't handle it well, and it is easy to cause conflicts in the dressing room. Talent belongs to talent. Not suitable."
This is Ferguson's evaluation of Pogba, and it is precisely because of the rare pity in Ferguson's tone that when Li Mo mentioned it, Speed could still recall Pogba's appearance.
"Optimist, Optimist"
Speed muttered a few words, and Li Mo sat on the sofa honestly when he saw this, not disturbing Speed's consideration.
The old handsome guy will be caught in a tangle. To be honest, even Ferguson feels a pity for the player. The talent is definitely real and there is no need to question it.
But Ferguson's "optimistic" also made Speed dare not easily make up his mind to operate signings.
Sir Ferguson is still very reserved, but Speed knows that the so-called optimists are actually big-hearted, without much ambition or aggressiveness, and they are easy to mess up when encountering difficulties!
If Pogba can have the ambition and ruthlessness of Ronaldo, then Ferguson will keep him firmly in Manchester United no matter what.
But Ferguson didn't stay. Knowing that Pogba had a strong talent, he didn't force him to stay, so he let Pogba go easily, which is very self-explanatory.
The balance in Speed's heart was tilting towards rejecting Li Mo's suggestion this time, but he looked at Li Mo again, and the words he was about to utter subconsciously changed.
"Are you sure you can hold him down and keep him from making trouble in the locker room?"
Li Mo was taken aback by Speed's question, but then Li Mo nodded vigorously.
"No problem! As long as you enter our locker room, you have to listen to me! The old captain, the big head, Jamie, they are all on my side, and the fans will only believe us. If he dares to make trouble, he will be crushed to death !"
Li Mo's answer was very domineering, which was also expected by Speed.
Don't talk about Pogba, even Ronaldo and Messi have now transferred to Sheffield United, so they have to listen to Li Mo.
After all, it is the youth training of Sheffield Liangen Zhengmiaohong. From the captain of the youth training to the captain of the first team, it is also the face of the Premier League. Li Mo's popularity in Sheffield is well-deserved number one, and no one can shake it.
Speed nodded and finally made up his mind.
"Then I'll ask the transfer department to get in touch first, but you kid also has to be mentally prepared. He didn't come here to be a youth player, but to enter the first team and play directly. He can talk about his strength and everything. I am afraid that he will commit a crime in terms of team discipline, if the transfer is successful, you have to watch him closely in the future!"
Li Mo was overjoyed, and repeatedly promised Speed that he would take care of him.
As for whether Pogba will reject Sheffield United's offer after receiving it, Li Mo and Speed didn't mention it.
Ten years ago, Pogba would definitely not consider moving from Juventus to Sheffield United, but now.
It's a bit of a stretch to say the move from Juventus to Sheffield United is a sign of progress, but it's true.
Juventus, which took five or six years to recover, has just consolidated its dominance in Serie A and is heading for three consecutive league titles.
But in the Champions League, the current old lady can't show any outstanding records.
In Sheffield United, they can win the Premier League championship that attracts more attention, and they can also have more room to play in the Champions League, not to mention the salary.
Li Mo couldn't think of any reason for Pogba to refuse Sheffield United's call.
Of course, even if Sheffield United wants Pogba, they won't do some private things, and they still have to communicate with Juventus first.
Moreover, Pogba has only just become famous in Serie A. He hasn't been baptized by the World Cup, and he doesn't have such a big reputation, and his worth is not too high.
4000 million is suitable, and 5000 million is the cap. As long as Speed wants, Sheffield United can also pay this money at one time, which can be regarded as sincerity.
Manipulating Pogba's transfer has a good start, and Li Mo himself has also begun to exert force in public opinion.
Before he flew to Turin with the team, he deliberately accepted several media interviews and raised some "eye-catching" topics.
"I am very grateful to Paul for his praise. In fact, I am also looking forward to another contest with him this time. We were both rookies when we first played against each other on the field, but now I am in the first team in the Premier League. The first team in Serie A, we all have a bright future! I am very impressed with him, he will become a very strong midfielder, Manchester United lost him is Manchester United's loss, that is true."
In order to further gain Pogba's favor, Li Mo did not hesitate to pull out the innocent Manchester United as a tool man.
After all, many fans now know that Pogba is still brooding about Ferguson's refusal to give him a chance.
Sheffield United beat Manchester United hard enough last season, and now Li Mo is helping Pogba out. It can only be said that the perfect show hit Pogba's inner itch!
Li Mo threw out a sign of a public opinion storm, and then let go of it, letting the fans on both sides of the Premier League and Serie A speculate and discuss.
Sheffield United and Juventus are not good at interfering with players' speeches at the club level. Originally, fans of the two teams only thought it was a simple interaction between the two players.
It wasn't until the afternoon of October 10st that the photos of Li Mo and Pogba drinking coffee in the urban area of Turin were published by the Italian media, which sparked a large-scale discussion among fans.
"Going to pull people, this is definitely pulling people! Sheffield United has such a habit, but in the past it was Speed who attacked first. This year, before Sheffield United signed Neymar in the summer window, it was replaced by Li Mo The emotional card must be the same this time, otherwise why did Li Mo invite Pogba out before the game?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Pogba is doing well in Turin now. The World Cup is coming soon. He won't go to the Premier League now for a stable chance to play!"
"Don't bullshit, if you have the chance to go to Sheffield United, who will wait for Juventus, I am the one who carried the train all night!"
"But Sheffield United already has enough midfielders. Can Pogba get enough playing time when he comes to Sheffield United?"
"He is young enough, and who can say clearly what will happen in the summer window next year? The midfielders of Sheffield United may not all renew their contracts with Sheffield United to introduce young and talented midfielders. Always right."
Fans in Huaguo are discussing in full swing, while in Turin, Juventus fans quickly changed from stupefied to anxious.
The Juventus club will directly refute the rumors and explain the real situation of the meeting between the players of the two clubs that day.
In fact, Li Mo made an appointment with Tevez first, and then Tevez called out Pogba.
And there are two Sheffield United players, Dembele and Neymar, beside Li Mo.
So the reported Italian media intercepted the scene where only two people appeared on the scene, and deliberately created a gimmick.
The official statement issued by Juventus is quite timely, and it calmed the hearts of all Tinitinas.
Pogba himself also issued a statement on social media, saying that the two parties were just meeting "old acquaintances".
After all, the time when the players from both sides went out happened to happen, so they met for a cup of coffee and chatted for less than 10 minutes, which is not really news at all.
Now, except for a small number of fans who are still swearing that it will not be so simple, most of the rest of the fans have stopped.
But in private, only they know what Li Mo and Pogba think, and how the Juventus and Sheffield United clubs communicate.
After the episode of public opinion passed, the focus of fans' attention naturally returned to the game.
The defending champion of the Premier League faced off against the defending champion of Serie A. Such a gimmick made this game attract a lot of attention.
Moreover, the duel between the new giants and the traditional giants is always a hot topic in the UEFA Champions League. The media fans are not tired of discussing it, and UEFA officials also come off the field in person.
"Youth Army vs. Old Woman!"
Looking at the content of this tweet, I can only say that UEFA's official tweet is eye-catching, and the Sun newspaper has to give a thumbs up and say awesome after reading it!
With the support of multi-party traffic, the heat of Sheffield United and Juventus has a tendency to catch up with Manchester City's home game against Bayern.
On the day of the game on October 10, waves of foreign journalists entered the Juventus Arena, which stunned many Juventus fans.
In the 08-09 season, when Juventus returned to the Champions League and played in the group stage with Real Madrid, they may not have received so much attention from foreign reporters.
Now it seems that the popularity of Sheffield United, a sophomore in the Champions League, is really not covered.
While eating most of the traffic in the English football world, while enjoying the unique attention of the Huaguo sports circle, and now attracting most of the Brazilian football media, it can only be said that the traffic is outrageous.
On the night of the game, when the two teams were warming up, Carlos Tevez looked at the reporters from various countries who were taking pictures at the Sheffield United half-court, feeling extremely sad in his heart.
After all, he is considered an old rival. Tevez can be said to have watched Sheffield United miraculously rise step by step.
I thought that after leaving Manchester City, there should not be much intersection with Sheffield United.
But now that he has only transferred to Juventus, he has been assigned to the same Champions League group as Sheffield United, and Tevez can only say a word about fate.
So when Li Mo asked him out for coffee before the game, he agreed directly.
In the past, they were masters in the same league, and they didn't communicate much in private. Now they belong to different leagues, and they are more familiar with each other.
"It's Pogba, who seems to be very concerned about communicating with Sheffield United, especially with Li."
Thinking of this, Tevez glanced at Pogba not far from him.
Sure enough, the kid was still looking at Sheffield United from time to time, and that flash of envy still couldn't escape Tevez's careful observation.
As a big traffic player in European football and even world football in the past two seasons, Sheffield United has received more attention than many veteran giants.
For example, it is also a warm-up now, the number of reporters in the Juventus half is in stark contrast to the number of reporters in the Sheffield United half.
Pogba is the age most eager to get the attention of the outside world, and it is normal to envy the young players on Sheffield United.
Carlos Tevez shook his head and continued to work on the warm-up.
Instead, Pirlo on the side gave Pogba a few words to make him focus.
Only then did Pogba withdraw his envious eyes, and chatted and communicated with Pirlo and Vidal with a smile.
He didn't know that Speed was also secretly observing his emotional changes.
Even after making the decision to introduce Pogba, Speed still attached great importance to Ferguson's original evaluation.
It's normal for young people to like to be noticed and to be recognized by more people.
It is natural for Pogba to envy the Sheffield United players, and Speed can understand.
At this time, seeing Pogba and his teammates actively communicating before the game, Speed finally nodded with a little satisfaction.
At least in terms of pre-match preparation and communication, Pogba seems to have no problem.
As for the performance of strength, it is natural to look at the competition.
Thinking of this, Speed didn't stay on the sidelines, and quickly returned to the visiting team's locker room, leaving them little time to prepare
※※※
".So today's focus is to limit Pirlo's performance. I don't need to repeat his importance to this Juventus team, but don't be too nervous. There are many players in their team who don't have much experience in the Champions League. Keep calm and do what we should do, then we will be the final winners!"
Speed once again emphasized the tactical requirements to the starting players. After all, it is a match against the Italian team, and it must be paid attention to at the tactical level.
The Sheffield United players also nodded in thought.
Although Pirlo is 34 years old, Sheffield United dare not despise him in the slightest.
As one of the few midfield masters in active service, Pirlo obviously also has the capital to allow Sheffield United's coaching staff to develop exclusive targeting tactics for him.
After all, only one year has passed since the 12-year European Cup, and Pirlo's outstanding performance has left a deep impression on countless players and coaches.
Drinkwater and Matic also rarely showed a little nervousness today.
Playing against a legend will always feel more stressful, not to mention being a senior they always like to respect. The feeling of expectation and caution is completely different from ordinary pressure.
"Hey! If you two play well, don't you pay tribute to Pirlo? Look at me, I like Drogba so much. After the first match against him, I still asked him to sign his autograph, but it doesn't Preventing me from kicking Chelsea's defense! If you don't believe me, ask Gary, he will definitely want to show his respect by smashing Pirlo!"
Li Mo carelessly relieved the emotions of Drinkwater and Brother Xiao Ma, he casually pointed at Medel, and Medel responded with a smile.
"That's definitely no problem. I would really like to fuck Pirlo. After all, I like Gattuso more, so I don't have any idol filters for Pirlo. Unfortunately, I played right back today, otherwise I would definitely Let Pirlo feel my 'passion'!"
Medel's teasing words caused bursts of laughter in the locker room, and Derek Water shook his head again and again with a smile. Seeing this, Li Mo waved his hand directly!
"That's it! There is no relationship between idols and fans on the football field, only the relationship between enemies and brothers! Today we are going to fuck the old women first, and then talk about friendship with their players. The best way to respect them is Defeat them?! You don't want to see the headlines of the major European media tomorrow is "The Old Woman Sanctions the Youth Army"? That would be too fucking shameful! Come, let the Italian overlord see ours Great, the glory goes to Sheffield!!!”
As soon as Li Mo finished speaking, there was a roar of howling ghosts and wolves in the locker room.
Speed's eyelids twitched, and he took a step back subconsciously. As expected, Li Mo also took the lead in the charge, knocking open the door of Juventus' visiting team's locker room!
Accompanied by the constant "bang!"
At this time, the Juventus players who were forming a team in the other channel were taken aback.
"Where is the movement of B?"
Vidal bared his teeth and licked his ears. The noise and growl were so outrageous that the moving company couldn't make out the noise.
The rest of the Juventus players also started talking, and only Carlos Tevez, who is most familiar with Sheffield United's style, sighed lightly.
"Today's game is really hard to play."
※※※
China time is approaching 10:3 a.m. on October 2, and the countdown to the start of the two UEFA Champions League focus group matches that countless fans have been looking forward to for a long time has entered.
At the Etihad Stadium, the stars of Manchester City and Bayern Munich stepped into the stadium, and the same scene was also staged at the Juventus Arena at the moment.
When the players set foot on the turf of the stadium, cheers and boos sounded in the stadium almost at the same time.
The players on both sides have long been accustomed to such a grand scene, and they each calmly lead their caddies to the field.
Juventus fans are very "enthusiastic", whether it is for the home team or the visiting team.
The Juventus Arena has always been known as the home of the devil in Serie A, and Juventus's fierce record at home is indeed proof of this.
With a stadium capacity of just over 4 people, the Juventus Arena does not sound particularly large.
But in fact, this new stadium, which was officially opened only 11 years ago, is not only full of technology, but also has a home atmosphere that is not inferior to those well-known stadiums with a capacity of 8 to [-] people.
The players of Sheffield United also have to feel at this moment that Juventus' home court is not weaker than Bramall Lane Stadium, and even better in terms of fan organization.
You know, Sheffield United's home court is already the most passionate and fanatical in today's Premier League, but it still can't surpass Juventus, which just got rid of the trough and re-emerged.
Such a scene has to make the commentators feel that a rich family is a rich family after all, and this background really has to be convinced.
After the Champions League theme song was played and players from both sides finished the opening ceremony, fans from all over the world became excited.
"Okay, the players on both sides are ready, the battle is about to start! In the second round of the 2013-14 UEFA Champions League group match, Group A, Sheffield United will challenge Juventus away! The game has already started, and all Sina Sports audiences are welcome to watch the game Live broadcast, coach Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun will send you a live commentary of the game!"
As the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Zhan Jun's familiar voice also sounded in the headphones worn by countless Huaguo fans.
Director Zhang's friendly "Hey Hey" sounded, and he greeted the audience.
Today, Zhan Jun didn't ask Director Zhang to analyze the starting lineups of both sides. When staying up late, the old man will inevitably be distracted, so he analyzed the lineups of the two teams in one go.
"Juventus did not make any changes in formation today, it is still Conte's favorite five-three-two, but in terms of starting players, Juventus has changed compared with the last round of the Champions League group stage.
Vucinic replaced Quagliarella, who had a bad foot recently, to start the game. The Montenegrin striker's organizational skills may allow Tevez to have more room to play in this game.
Peluso and Obonna were taken down by Conte and replaced by Asamoah and Barzagli. Relatively speaking, Conte made relatively large changes in defense.
The fixed trio in the midfield, Pirlo and Vidarga Pogba have not changed. The combination of these three people has become more and more tacit in terms of cooperation, and it is also the veritable key to victory for Juventus!
Sheffield United's starting lineup has not been adjusted much, but Trippier is said to have a little thigh discomfort before the game, so in this game Speed, just to be on the safe side, replaced Trippier with Medel as the right back.
In terms of midfield, De Bruyne finally "came out after a long wait" and became Sheffield United's starting central midfielder. I don't know if Speed has developed interference tactics for him against Pirlo today. The task on his shoulders today is still quite heavy.
The rest of Sheffield United's starters have not been adjusted much. Today, Li Mo, Bale and Neymar's trident performance is very exciting to the fans! "
As soon as Zhan Jun's words fell, Sheffield United, which took the lead on the field, created the first wave of threatening attacks amidst the boos of Juventus fans.
Li Mo's possession of the ball attracted Vidal's personal marking, and Bell took the opportunity to advance to the space on the right side of the Juventus midfielder.
However, Li Mo did not pass the ball immediately.
Just when Pirlo and Asamoah leaned to the right as a whole, they wanted to restrain the left offensive that Sheffield United might develop.
In the process of advancing, Li Mo pushed the ball straight to the right in reverse!
Neymar's handicap gave Medel an easy chance to overlap, and Juventus' defense was tested in the opening stage.
However, when facing Chiellini's marking, Medel did not go up to the head, but knocked the ball horizontally to Neymar who ran to the right edge of the Juventus penalty area in a timely manner.
Nei Shao unloaded the ball comfortably and cut inward. After getting rid of Asamoah's pursuit, he suddenly lobbed the ball into Juventus' penalty area.
Li Mo, who went forward, still chose to take off toughly in the face of Bonucci and Barzagli's defense!
But this time, the tentative angle of the summit rush was a bit too positive, and was successfully confiscated by the cautious Buffon.
But looking at Bonucci who was knocked to the ground and Barzagli who was obviously not feeling well, Buffon also looked at Li Mo a few more times, as if looking at a monster.
"I'm sorry!"
Li Mo roared with some dissatisfaction. Compared with Bonucci who fell to the ground, his body stood still after landing, just venting and roaring like a normal person!
Such a strong contrast shocked the Juventus fans who booed.
"I didn't have much intuitive feeling before, but now I finally understand why the media praised him as the 'Second Vieri' when he debuted! He looks stronger and unstoppable than Popo now!"
A diehard Juventus fan put down his hand covering his head and kept shaking his head and talking to himself.
And the other Juventus fans beside him all whispered about the amazing scene just now!
Italy has not produced a striker with such abnormal confrontation ability for many years.
Younger fans have also gradually forgotten the former 'Bobo', Apennine Tank Vieri.
Among the new generation of offensive players, the most discussed are the smart forward types such as Shalawi and Insigne.
As for Balotelli, self-indulgent Italians have destroyed their national team's future striker hopes.
Moreover, Bashen's dislike of confrontation made him always criticized by the outside world.
So now seeing Li Mo's way of playing football with his own eyes, many Juventus fans feel shocked.
For fans of the older generation, it is okay to say that those who have experienced the confrontation between the major strikers in Serie A, after all, Vieri of the same type is just one type of many strikers.
Li Mo acted violently and forcefully, but they had experienced this kind of shock before, and they could understand and accept it.
But Juventus fans in their teens and early 20s were quite emotional.
Ghost, that's Bonucci Gabarzagli!
Two of the best central defenders in the entire Serie A, just like this, were knocked away by Li Mo and eaten raw? !
Such a scene simply violated their common sense!
"A little bit confused! Juve's defensive generals seem to be completely confused by Li Mo's attack. Buffon also played against Vieri back then, but looking at his eyes, it seems that he can't believe it! This way We saw it from the eyes of the Bayern players last season, when Li Mo performed a hat-trick, I don’t know what kind of results Li Mo can achieve in today’s game?”
Zhan Jun is looking forward to Li Mo's performance today.
Neymar's ability to tear up the defense, Bell's breakthrough from the bottom, and De Bruyne's threatening pass behind him, Li Mo has a lot of opportunities today!
Moreover, Li Mo's own condition is also good, the tough confrontation at the beginning already shows his excitement.
A Li Mo who quickly entered the state, plus the star attack cluster behind him.
Juventus is going to suffer a lot today!
After completing the first threatening attack in the opening game, Sheffield United seemed to be unable to stop, constantly launching presses and quick counterattacks in the Juventus half.
Among them, De Bruyne continued to cooperate with Li Mo to put pressure on Pirlo, making it clear that his idea was not to give Pirlo time to calmly organize.
According to Juventus's way of playing in the past, Pirlo can completely pass the ball to Vidal and Pogba, and even Bonucci behind him.
Moreover, the opponent's pressure is also very convenient for Juventus to counterattack with a long pass.
But today's Sheffield United completely disrupted Conte's tactical arrangements.
The systematic high-position pressing and the defensive mode of blocking layers made Juventus players directly fall into the strangulation of Sheffield United.
Even if Pogba and Vidal wanted to make a long pass, but faced with the situation where someone was pressing the ball, getting rid of it became the first job they had to do.
Unable to get rid of the entanglement and obstruction of the Sheffield United players, it is extremely difficult to send accurate long passes.
Then retreating and sending a long pass seems too procrastinated.
Sheffield United's defensive players in the backcourt are very quick to supplement and assist defense.
When the football was still flying in the air, Vertonghen and Matic, who had a large range of activities, were able to attack and cover the defense zone left by the players who were on the attack.
The two Juventus forwards couldn't grab a point, and if they went wide, they had to face the Sheffield United wide players who were chasing back very quickly.
And when Medel and Felipe Luis don't move forward, this kind of counterattack from the side is almost giving away the ball for nothing.
Because the single defense ability of these two people is too BUG!
Looking at Maguire, who sits in the penalty area and has full frontal defensive ability, Conte can't think of a way to quickly break Sheffield United's defensive system at the moment.
To put it bluntly, compared to the luxury of the midfield combination, today's Juventus still lacks some "talent" on both sides and the center position.
It's unrealistic for you to rely on Tevez to solve the problem. Lichtsteiner is not bad, but he is a wing back after all. Can he handle a wing by himself like Bale?
After Speed played against Pirlo and restricted the performance of the Juventus midfield trio, Conte fell into a tactical dilemma.
It is difficult to make up for the shortcomings of this lineup through tactical adjustments.
Sheffield United suffered from Bayern last year. After further strengthening the lineup this year, they "frantically" targeted other teams.
This trick seems very foolish, but I have to say, it's really fucking easy to use!
It's not easy to play against a giant of Huang Saren's level, and you have to fight hard, but it is still no problem to play against Juventus.
Kill your midfield forward, frantically target your brain Pirlo, and let you pass the ball to other offensive players.
Whether it is sending a long pass or advancing from the side, Sheffield United is not afraid anyway.
To put it bluntly, when Tevez was still in Manchester City, he couldn't do anything about Sheffield United's defense. Just transfer to your Juventus?
Vucinic?Whatever he organizes, he organized a flower today, and he can't help Carlos Tevez get a shot in the penalty area of Sheffield United!
Speed has absolute confidence in the defensive system he has created.
With the suppression of players' strength and tactical restraint, he didn't believe that the few Juventus players who had leaked out could really happen to explode collectively!
With a big wave of his hand, Speed wanted to see Sheffield United defend and attack more oppressively, and his disciples did as he wished, strangling and counterattacking in the Juventus half without hesitating their physical fitness!
In just 15 minutes after the start of the game, Sheffield United got five shots!
Among them, Li Mo shot three times, with two shots on target. The second shot in the Juventus penalty area fully tested Buffon's ability to save.
In a hurry, Conte signaled the team to "top" the defense line, at least not to let Sheffield United get the chance to pass the ball from the two wings so easily.
Juventus' defensive players could only grit their teeth and let go of their courage to make defensive moves.
To a certain extent, this relieved Juventus' defensive pressure, and many bold defensive decisions also gave Juventus players the hope of pushing the main battlefield back to the center circle.
So they seem a little aggressive.
Perhaps in the eyes of Juventus fans, this is just an active, hard-working and tenacious defense.
But in the eyes of Sheffield United players, Juventus is aggressive.
In the No.20 second minute of the first half, Bell cleverly slipped through the crotch and passed Lichtsteiner, who was grabbing up, and then knocked the ball to Li Mo, who retreated to respond.
Li Mo played the role of the fulcrum perfectly, swiping the ball knocked by Bale behind the Juventus defense line with the outside of his foot, and then quickly turned around!
Barzagli's turn was a little slower, and Bell had already completed the violent overtaking. Bonucci yelled and retreated, and he didn't even dare to help Barzagli defend when Li Mo was in front of him.
Buffon became nervous in an instant, and quickly directed his teammates in front of him to start marking. Don't block his vision, so as not to delay his attack or save.
But at this moment, Bell, who hadn't reached the bottom line, suddenly chose to pass the ball!
There is no deliberate pass to the inverted triangle, because then Bonucci will have enough time to go to Carimo's position.
Bell chose to hit the ball horizontally when he was almost two positions ahead of Li Mo, so that Li Mo had a space to accelerate to complete the shot!
Bonucci didn't expect Bell to be so bold, and he wasn't afraid of him destroying it first!
But then, Li Mo let him understand the source of Bell's confidence with his explosive speed!
"Bell passed the ball! Li Mo broke out!!!"
Zhan Jun roared angrily. During his excited explanation, Li Mo rushed to the same position as Bonucci almost in two or three steps in an instant, and got stuck in the favorable position by taking the first step!
And at the moment when Li Mo successfully got in position, his left foot also quickly kicked the ball with almost no back swing!
All this happens in just a second or two.
After Bale passed the ball, many Juventus fans felt that it was just a blink of an eye, and Li Mo had already exploded with terrifying speed, arbitrarily stuck to death Bonucci's possibility of destroying the attack!
Li Mo's shooting connection made many people fail to see the action clearly!
Buffon's response to the save was very quick, but the football drawn by Li Mo passed Buffon's fingertips even more quickly!
When the football rolled towards the far corner of the Juventus goal, Chiellini, who was full of milk, almost threw himself out at the back point to try to destroy the ball!
But when the football rolled into the net of the goal, he crossed the goal line, too late, too late! ! !
"Shoot! Wow——!!! The ball went in!!! The ball went in——!!! No. 203 minutes! Li Mo took the lead to break the goal of Juventus!!! Buffon didn't stop the ball! Amazing The Italian goalkeeper was overwhelmed by the speed and passion of Sheffield United at this moment! Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini!!! These Italian defensive stars have nothing to do with the cooperation of Bell and Li Mo! Exciting quick counterattack! This is the magic weapon for Sheffield United!!!”
Under a small crowd of red and white carnival, Li Mo leaped high, roared and punched and turned around, his eyes were full of flamboyant wantonness!
He wants to conquer this Juventus Arena today, he wants to conquer the Apennines today!
You are numb, I feel that time is a bit short, and there are still five hundred words, brothers, forgive me~
(End of this chapter)
"You're talking about the little black guy who didn't sign a contract with Manchester United before?"
Speed thought for a long time, and finally found the tall and thin black figure in the back of his memory.
"I still remember that kid. When I was inspecting Daniel, I saw other players in Manchester United's youth training echelon. But Lee, are you sure you are talking about the super midfielder, not Pirlo?"
Seeing Speed's suspicious expression, Li Mo confirmed again and again.
"It's him, Pogba. He played against us in the 11-12 season. He went to Juventus last year. I watched his game. I think his talent is very good. Boss, you Don’t you want to train another top midfielder?”
Li Mo's seductive words made Speed ponder for a moment.
Pogba was able to stand out among Manchester United's youth players. It was impossible for him to be talented, but Speed also had hesitation in his heart.
That was when he was drinking with Ferguson before, Ferguson's evaluation of some players in the Manchester United team at that time.
"That's a good boy, but he can't bear his temper, and he's a bit too optimistic. You know, for us, discipline and composure will always be the core qualities of a midfielder. It's good for him to let him go. , It is also good for Manchester United. If I am still coaching, then I can slowly wear down his temper, but I am retired, and the new coach can't handle it well, and it is easy to cause conflicts in the dressing room. Talent belongs to talent. Not suitable."
This is Ferguson's evaluation of Pogba, and it is precisely because of the rare pity in Ferguson's tone that when Li Mo mentioned it, Speed could still recall Pogba's appearance.
"Optimist, Optimist"
Speed muttered a few words, and Li Mo sat on the sofa honestly when he saw this, not disturbing Speed's consideration.
The old handsome guy will be caught in a tangle. To be honest, even Ferguson feels a pity for the player. The talent is definitely real and there is no need to question it.
But Ferguson's "optimistic" also made Speed dare not easily make up his mind to operate signings.
Sir Ferguson is still very reserved, but Speed knows that the so-called optimists are actually big-hearted, without much ambition or aggressiveness, and they are easy to mess up when encountering difficulties!
If Pogba can have the ambition and ruthlessness of Ronaldo, then Ferguson will keep him firmly in Manchester United no matter what.
But Ferguson didn't stay. Knowing that Pogba had a strong talent, he didn't force him to stay, so he let Pogba go easily, which is very self-explanatory.
The balance in Speed's heart was tilting towards rejecting Li Mo's suggestion this time, but he looked at Li Mo again, and the words he was about to utter subconsciously changed.
"Are you sure you can hold him down and keep him from making trouble in the locker room?"
Li Mo was taken aback by Speed's question, but then Li Mo nodded vigorously.
"No problem! As long as you enter our locker room, you have to listen to me! The old captain, the big head, Jamie, they are all on my side, and the fans will only believe us. If he dares to make trouble, he will be crushed to death !"
Li Mo's answer was very domineering, which was also expected by Speed.
Don't talk about Pogba, even Ronaldo and Messi have now transferred to Sheffield United, so they have to listen to Li Mo.
After all, it is the youth training of Sheffield Liangen Zhengmiaohong. From the captain of the youth training to the captain of the first team, it is also the face of the Premier League. Li Mo's popularity in Sheffield is well-deserved number one, and no one can shake it.
Speed nodded and finally made up his mind.
"Then I'll ask the transfer department to get in touch first, but you kid also has to be mentally prepared. He didn't come here to be a youth player, but to enter the first team and play directly. He can talk about his strength and everything. I am afraid that he will commit a crime in terms of team discipline, if the transfer is successful, you have to watch him closely in the future!"
Li Mo was overjoyed, and repeatedly promised Speed that he would take care of him.
As for whether Pogba will reject Sheffield United's offer after receiving it, Li Mo and Speed didn't mention it.
Ten years ago, Pogba would definitely not consider moving from Juventus to Sheffield United, but now.
It's a bit of a stretch to say the move from Juventus to Sheffield United is a sign of progress, but it's true.
Juventus, which took five or six years to recover, has just consolidated its dominance in Serie A and is heading for three consecutive league titles.
But in the Champions League, the current old lady can't show any outstanding records.
In Sheffield United, they can win the Premier League championship that attracts more attention, and they can also have more room to play in the Champions League, not to mention the salary.
Li Mo couldn't think of any reason for Pogba to refuse Sheffield United's call.
Of course, even if Sheffield United wants Pogba, they won't do some private things, and they still have to communicate with Juventus first.
Moreover, Pogba has only just become famous in Serie A. He hasn't been baptized by the World Cup, and he doesn't have such a big reputation, and his worth is not too high.
4000 million is suitable, and 5000 million is the cap. As long as Speed wants, Sheffield United can also pay this money at one time, which can be regarded as sincerity.
Manipulating Pogba's transfer has a good start, and Li Mo himself has also begun to exert force in public opinion.
Before he flew to Turin with the team, he deliberately accepted several media interviews and raised some "eye-catching" topics.
"I am very grateful to Paul for his praise. In fact, I am also looking forward to another contest with him this time. We were both rookies when we first played against each other on the field, but now I am in the first team in the Premier League. The first team in Serie A, we all have a bright future! I am very impressed with him, he will become a very strong midfielder, Manchester United lost him is Manchester United's loss, that is true."
In order to further gain Pogba's favor, Li Mo did not hesitate to pull out the innocent Manchester United as a tool man.
After all, many fans now know that Pogba is still brooding about Ferguson's refusal to give him a chance.
Sheffield United beat Manchester United hard enough last season, and now Li Mo is helping Pogba out. It can only be said that the perfect show hit Pogba's inner itch!
Li Mo threw out a sign of a public opinion storm, and then let go of it, letting the fans on both sides of the Premier League and Serie A speculate and discuss.
Sheffield United and Juventus are not good at interfering with players' speeches at the club level. Originally, fans of the two teams only thought it was a simple interaction between the two players.
It wasn't until the afternoon of October 10st that the photos of Li Mo and Pogba drinking coffee in the urban area of Turin were published by the Italian media, which sparked a large-scale discussion among fans.
"Going to pull people, this is definitely pulling people! Sheffield United has such a habit, but in the past it was Speed who attacked first. This year, before Sheffield United signed Neymar in the summer window, it was replaced by Li Mo The emotional card must be the same this time, otherwise why did Li Mo invite Pogba out before the game?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Pogba is doing well in Turin now. The World Cup is coming soon. He won't go to the Premier League now for a stable chance to play!"
"Don't bullshit, if you have the chance to go to Sheffield United, who will wait for Juventus, I am the one who carried the train all night!"
"But Sheffield United already has enough midfielders. Can Pogba get enough playing time when he comes to Sheffield United?"
"He is young enough, and who can say clearly what will happen in the summer window next year? The midfielders of Sheffield United may not all renew their contracts with Sheffield United to introduce young and talented midfielders. Always right."
Fans in Huaguo are discussing in full swing, while in Turin, Juventus fans quickly changed from stupefied to anxious.
The Juventus club will directly refute the rumors and explain the real situation of the meeting between the players of the two clubs that day.
In fact, Li Mo made an appointment with Tevez first, and then Tevez called out Pogba.
And there are two Sheffield United players, Dembele and Neymar, beside Li Mo.
So the reported Italian media intercepted the scene where only two people appeared on the scene, and deliberately created a gimmick.
The official statement issued by Juventus is quite timely, and it calmed the hearts of all Tinitinas.
Pogba himself also issued a statement on social media, saying that the two parties were just meeting "old acquaintances".
After all, the time when the players from both sides went out happened to happen, so they met for a cup of coffee and chatted for less than 10 minutes, which is not really news at all.
Now, except for a small number of fans who are still swearing that it will not be so simple, most of the rest of the fans have stopped.
But in private, only they know what Li Mo and Pogba think, and how the Juventus and Sheffield United clubs communicate.
After the episode of public opinion passed, the focus of fans' attention naturally returned to the game.
The defending champion of the Premier League faced off against the defending champion of Serie A. Such a gimmick made this game attract a lot of attention.
Moreover, the duel between the new giants and the traditional giants is always a hot topic in the UEFA Champions League. The media fans are not tired of discussing it, and UEFA officials also come off the field in person.
"Youth Army vs. Old Woman!"
Looking at the content of this tweet, I can only say that UEFA's official tweet is eye-catching, and the Sun newspaper has to give a thumbs up and say awesome after reading it!
With the support of multi-party traffic, the heat of Sheffield United and Juventus has a tendency to catch up with Manchester City's home game against Bayern.
On the day of the game on October 10, waves of foreign journalists entered the Juventus Arena, which stunned many Juventus fans.
In the 08-09 season, when Juventus returned to the Champions League and played in the group stage with Real Madrid, they may not have received so much attention from foreign reporters.
Now it seems that the popularity of Sheffield United, a sophomore in the Champions League, is really not covered.
While eating most of the traffic in the English football world, while enjoying the unique attention of the Huaguo sports circle, and now attracting most of the Brazilian football media, it can only be said that the traffic is outrageous.
On the night of the game, when the two teams were warming up, Carlos Tevez looked at the reporters from various countries who were taking pictures at the Sheffield United half-court, feeling extremely sad in his heart.
After all, he is considered an old rival. Tevez can be said to have watched Sheffield United miraculously rise step by step.
I thought that after leaving Manchester City, there should not be much intersection with Sheffield United.
But now that he has only transferred to Juventus, he has been assigned to the same Champions League group as Sheffield United, and Tevez can only say a word about fate.
So when Li Mo asked him out for coffee before the game, he agreed directly.
In the past, they were masters in the same league, and they didn't communicate much in private. Now they belong to different leagues, and they are more familiar with each other.
"It's Pogba, who seems to be very concerned about communicating with Sheffield United, especially with Li."
Thinking of this, Tevez glanced at Pogba not far from him.
Sure enough, the kid was still looking at Sheffield United from time to time, and that flash of envy still couldn't escape Tevez's careful observation.
As a big traffic player in European football and even world football in the past two seasons, Sheffield United has received more attention than many veteran giants.
For example, it is also a warm-up now, the number of reporters in the Juventus half is in stark contrast to the number of reporters in the Sheffield United half.
Pogba is the age most eager to get the attention of the outside world, and it is normal to envy the young players on Sheffield United.
Carlos Tevez shook his head and continued to work on the warm-up.
Instead, Pirlo on the side gave Pogba a few words to make him focus.
Only then did Pogba withdraw his envious eyes, and chatted and communicated with Pirlo and Vidal with a smile.
He didn't know that Speed was also secretly observing his emotional changes.
Even after making the decision to introduce Pogba, Speed still attached great importance to Ferguson's original evaluation.
It's normal for young people to like to be noticed and to be recognized by more people.
It is natural for Pogba to envy the Sheffield United players, and Speed can understand.
At this time, seeing Pogba and his teammates actively communicating before the game, Speed finally nodded with a little satisfaction.
At least in terms of pre-match preparation and communication, Pogba seems to have no problem.
As for the performance of strength, it is natural to look at the competition.
Thinking of this, Speed didn't stay on the sidelines, and quickly returned to the visiting team's locker room, leaving them little time to prepare
※※※
".So today's focus is to limit Pirlo's performance. I don't need to repeat his importance to this Juventus team, but don't be too nervous. There are many players in their team who don't have much experience in the Champions League. Keep calm and do what we should do, then we will be the final winners!"
Speed once again emphasized the tactical requirements to the starting players. After all, it is a match against the Italian team, and it must be paid attention to at the tactical level.
The Sheffield United players also nodded in thought.
Although Pirlo is 34 years old, Sheffield United dare not despise him in the slightest.
As one of the few midfield masters in active service, Pirlo obviously also has the capital to allow Sheffield United's coaching staff to develop exclusive targeting tactics for him.
After all, only one year has passed since the 12-year European Cup, and Pirlo's outstanding performance has left a deep impression on countless players and coaches.
Drinkwater and Matic also rarely showed a little nervousness today.
Playing against a legend will always feel more stressful, not to mention being a senior they always like to respect. The feeling of expectation and caution is completely different from ordinary pressure.
"Hey! If you two play well, don't you pay tribute to Pirlo? Look at me, I like Drogba so much. After the first match against him, I still asked him to sign his autograph, but it doesn't Preventing me from kicking Chelsea's defense! If you don't believe me, ask Gary, he will definitely want to show his respect by smashing Pirlo!"
Li Mo carelessly relieved the emotions of Drinkwater and Brother Xiao Ma, he casually pointed at Medel, and Medel responded with a smile.
"That's definitely no problem. I would really like to fuck Pirlo. After all, I like Gattuso more, so I don't have any idol filters for Pirlo. Unfortunately, I played right back today, otherwise I would definitely Let Pirlo feel my 'passion'!"
Medel's teasing words caused bursts of laughter in the locker room, and Derek Water shook his head again and again with a smile. Seeing this, Li Mo waved his hand directly!
"That's it! There is no relationship between idols and fans on the football field, only the relationship between enemies and brothers! Today we are going to fuck the old women first, and then talk about friendship with their players. The best way to respect them is Defeat them?! You don't want to see the headlines of the major European media tomorrow is "The Old Woman Sanctions the Youth Army"? That would be too fucking shameful! Come, let the Italian overlord see ours Great, the glory goes to Sheffield!!!”
As soon as Li Mo finished speaking, there was a roar of howling ghosts and wolves in the locker room.
Speed's eyelids twitched, and he took a step back subconsciously. As expected, Li Mo also took the lead in the charge, knocking open the door of Juventus' visiting team's locker room!
Accompanied by the constant "bang!"
At this time, the Juventus players who were forming a team in the other channel were taken aback.
"Where is the movement of B?"
Vidal bared his teeth and licked his ears. The noise and growl were so outrageous that the moving company couldn't make out the noise.
The rest of the Juventus players also started talking, and only Carlos Tevez, who is most familiar with Sheffield United's style, sighed lightly.
"Today's game is really hard to play."
※※※
China time is approaching 10:3 a.m. on October 2, and the countdown to the start of the two UEFA Champions League focus group matches that countless fans have been looking forward to for a long time has entered.
At the Etihad Stadium, the stars of Manchester City and Bayern Munich stepped into the stadium, and the same scene was also staged at the Juventus Arena at the moment.
When the players set foot on the turf of the stadium, cheers and boos sounded in the stadium almost at the same time.
The players on both sides have long been accustomed to such a grand scene, and they each calmly lead their caddies to the field.
Juventus fans are very "enthusiastic", whether it is for the home team or the visiting team.
The Juventus Arena has always been known as the home of the devil in Serie A, and Juventus's fierce record at home is indeed proof of this.
With a stadium capacity of just over 4 people, the Juventus Arena does not sound particularly large.
But in fact, this new stadium, which was officially opened only 11 years ago, is not only full of technology, but also has a home atmosphere that is not inferior to those well-known stadiums with a capacity of 8 to [-] people.
The players of Sheffield United also have to feel at this moment that Juventus' home court is not weaker than Bramall Lane Stadium, and even better in terms of fan organization.
You know, Sheffield United's home court is already the most passionate and fanatical in today's Premier League, but it still can't surpass Juventus, which just got rid of the trough and re-emerged.
Such a scene has to make the commentators feel that a rich family is a rich family after all, and this background really has to be convinced.
After the Champions League theme song was played and players from both sides finished the opening ceremony, fans from all over the world became excited.
"Okay, the players on both sides are ready, the battle is about to start! In the second round of the 2013-14 UEFA Champions League group match, Group A, Sheffield United will challenge Juventus away! The game has already started, and all Sina Sports audiences are welcome to watch the game Live broadcast, coach Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun will send you a live commentary of the game!"
As the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Zhan Jun's familiar voice also sounded in the headphones worn by countless Huaguo fans.
Director Zhang's friendly "Hey Hey" sounded, and he greeted the audience.
Today, Zhan Jun didn't ask Director Zhang to analyze the starting lineups of both sides. When staying up late, the old man will inevitably be distracted, so he analyzed the lineups of the two teams in one go.
"Juventus did not make any changes in formation today, it is still Conte's favorite five-three-two, but in terms of starting players, Juventus has changed compared with the last round of the Champions League group stage.
Vucinic replaced Quagliarella, who had a bad foot recently, to start the game. The Montenegrin striker's organizational skills may allow Tevez to have more room to play in this game.
Peluso and Obonna were taken down by Conte and replaced by Asamoah and Barzagli. Relatively speaking, Conte made relatively large changes in defense.
The fixed trio in the midfield, Pirlo and Vidarga Pogba have not changed. The combination of these three people has become more and more tacit in terms of cooperation, and it is also the veritable key to victory for Juventus!
Sheffield United's starting lineup has not been adjusted much, but Trippier is said to have a little thigh discomfort before the game, so in this game Speed, just to be on the safe side, replaced Trippier with Medel as the right back.
In terms of midfield, De Bruyne finally "came out after a long wait" and became Sheffield United's starting central midfielder. I don't know if Speed has developed interference tactics for him against Pirlo today. The task on his shoulders today is still quite heavy.
The rest of Sheffield United's starters have not been adjusted much. Today, Li Mo, Bale and Neymar's trident performance is very exciting to the fans! "
As soon as Zhan Jun's words fell, Sheffield United, which took the lead on the field, created the first wave of threatening attacks amidst the boos of Juventus fans.
Li Mo's possession of the ball attracted Vidal's personal marking, and Bell took the opportunity to advance to the space on the right side of the Juventus midfielder.
However, Li Mo did not pass the ball immediately.
Just when Pirlo and Asamoah leaned to the right as a whole, they wanted to restrain the left offensive that Sheffield United might develop.
In the process of advancing, Li Mo pushed the ball straight to the right in reverse!
Neymar's handicap gave Medel an easy chance to overlap, and Juventus' defense was tested in the opening stage.
However, when facing Chiellini's marking, Medel did not go up to the head, but knocked the ball horizontally to Neymar who ran to the right edge of the Juventus penalty area in a timely manner.
Nei Shao unloaded the ball comfortably and cut inward. After getting rid of Asamoah's pursuit, he suddenly lobbed the ball into Juventus' penalty area.
Li Mo, who went forward, still chose to take off toughly in the face of Bonucci and Barzagli's defense!
But this time, the tentative angle of the summit rush was a bit too positive, and was successfully confiscated by the cautious Buffon.
But looking at Bonucci who was knocked to the ground and Barzagli who was obviously not feeling well, Buffon also looked at Li Mo a few more times, as if looking at a monster.
"I'm sorry!"
Li Mo roared with some dissatisfaction. Compared with Bonucci who fell to the ground, his body stood still after landing, just venting and roaring like a normal person!
Such a strong contrast shocked the Juventus fans who booed.
"I didn't have much intuitive feeling before, but now I finally understand why the media praised him as the 'Second Vieri' when he debuted! He looks stronger and unstoppable than Popo now!"
A diehard Juventus fan put down his hand covering his head and kept shaking his head and talking to himself.
And the other Juventus fans beside him all whispered about the amazing scene just now!
Italy has not produced a striker with such abnormal confrontation ability for many years.
Younger fans have also gradually forgotten the former 'Bobo', Apennine Tank Vieri.
Among the new generation of offensive players, the most discussed are the smart forward types such as Shalawi and Insigne.
As for Balotelli, self-indulgent Italians have destroyed their national team's future striker hopes.
Moreover, Bashen's dislike of confrontation made him always criticized by the outside world.
So now seeing Li Mo's way of playing football with his own eyes, many Juventus fans feel shocked.
For fans of the older generation, it is okay to say that those who have experienced the confrontation between the major strikers in Serie A, after all, Vieri of the same type is just one type of many strikers.
Li Mo acted violently and forcefully, but they had experienced this kind of shock before, and they could understand and accept it.
But Juventus fans in their teens and early 20s were quite emotional.
Ghost, that's Bonucci Gabarzagli!
Two of the best central defenders in the entire Serie A, just like this, were knocked away by Li Mo and eaten raw? !
Such a scene simply violated their common sense!
"A little bit confused! Juve's defensive generals seem to be completely confused by Li Mo's attack. Buffon also played against Vieri back then, but looking at his eyes, it seems that he can't believe it! This way We saw it from the eyes of the Bayern players last season, when Li Mo performed a hat-trick, I don’t know what kind of results Li Mo can achieve in today’s game?”
Zhan Jun is looking forward to Li Mo's performance today.
Neymar's ability to tear up the defense, Bell's breakthrough from the bottom, and De Bruyne's threatening pass behind him, Li Mo has a lot of opportunities today!
Moreover, Li Mo's own condition is also good, the tough confrontation at the beginning already shows his excitement.
A Li Mo who quickly entered the state, plus the star attack cluster behind him.
Juventus is going to suffer a lot today!
After completing the first threatening attack in the opening game, Sheffield United seemed to be unable to stop, constantly launching presses and quick counterattacks in the Juventus half.
Among them, De Bruyne continued to cooperate with Li Mo to put pressure on Pirlo, making it clear that his idea was not to give Pirlo time to calmly organize.
According to Juventus's way of playing in the past, Pirlo can completely pass the ball to Vidal and Pogba, and even Bonucci behind him.
Moreover, the opponent's pressure is also very convenient for Juventus to counterattack with a long pass.
But today's Sheffield United completely disrupted Conte's tactical arrangements.
The systematic high-position pressing and the defensive mode of blocking layers made Juventus players directly fall into the strangulation of Sheffield United.
Even if Pogba and Vidal wanted to make a long pass, but faced with the situation where someone was pressing the ball, getting rid of it became the first job they had to do.
Unable to get rid of the entanglement and obstruction of the Sheffield United players, it is extremely difficult to send accurate long passes.
Then retreating and sending a long pass seems too procrastinated.
Sheffield United's defensive players in the backcourt are very quick to supplement and assist defense.
When the football was still flying in the air, Vertonghen and Matic, who had a large range of activities, were able to attack and cover the defense zone left by the players who were on the attack.
The two Juventus forwards couldn't grab a point, and if they went wide, they had to face the Sheffield United wide players who were chasing back very quickly.
And when Medel and Felipe Luis don't move forward, this kind of counterattack from the side is almost giving away the ball for nothing.
Because the single defense ability of these two people is too BUG!
Looking at Maguire, who sits in the penalty area and has full frontal defensive ability, Conte can't think of a way to quickly break Sheffield United's defensive system at the moment.
To put it bluntly, compared to the luxury of the midfield combination, today's Juventus still lacks some "talent" on both sides and the center position.
It's unrealistic for you to rely on Tevez to solve the problem. Lichtsteiner is not bad, but he is a wing back after all. Can he handle a wing by himself like Bale?
After Speed played against Pirlo and restricted the performance of the Juventus midfield trio, Conte fell into a tactical dilemma.
It is difficult to make up for the shortcomings of this lineup through tactical adjustments.
Sheffield United suffered from Bayern last year. After further strengthening the lineup this year, they "frantically" targeted other teams.
This trick seems very foolish, but I have to say, it's really fucking easy to use!
It's not easy to play against a giant of Huang Saren's level, and you have to fight hard, but it is still no problem to play against Juventus.
Kill your midfield forward, frantically target your brain Pirlo, and let you pass the ball to other offensive players.
Whether it is sending a long pass or advancing from the side, Sheffield United is not afraid anyway.
To put it bluntly, when Tevez was still in Manchester City, he couldn't do anything about Sheffield United's defense. Just transfer to your Juventus?
Vucinic?Whatever he organizes, he organized a flower today, and he can't help Carlos Tevez get a shot in the penalty area of Sheffield United!
Speed has absolute confidence in the defensive system he has created.
With the suppression of players' strength and tactical restraint, he didn't believe that the few Juventus players who had leaked out could really happen to explode collectively!
With a big wave of his hand, Speed wanted to see Sheffield United defend and attack more oppressively, and his disciples did as he wished, strangling and counterattacking in the Juventus half without hesitating their physical fitness!
In just 15 minutes after the start of the game, Sheffield United got five shots!
Among them, Li Mo shot three times, with two shots on target. The second shot in the Juventus penalty area fully tested Buffon's ability to save.
In a hurry, Conte signaled the team to "top" the defense line, at least not to let Sheffield United get the chance to pass the ball from the two wings so easily.
Juventus' defensive players could only grit their teeth and let go of their courage to make defensive moves.
To a certain extent, this relieved Juventus' defensive pressure, and many bold defensive decisions also gave Juventus players the hope of pushing the main battlefield back to the center circle.
So they seem a little aggressive.
Perhaps in the eyes of Juventus fans, this is just an active, hard-working and tenacious defense.
But in the eyes of Sheffield United players, Juventus is aggressive.
In the No.20 second minute of the first half, Bell cleverly slipped through the crotch and passed Lichtsteiner, who was grabbing up, and then knocked the ball to Li Mo, who retreated to respond.
Li Mo played the role of the fulcrum perfectly, swiping the ball knocked by Bale behind the Juventus defense line with the outside of his foot, and then quickly turned around!
Barzagli's turn was a little slower, and Bell had already completed the violent overtaking. Bonucci yelled and retreated, and he didn't even dare to help Barzagli defend when Li Mo was in front of him.
Buffon became nervous in an instant, and quickly directed his teammates in front of him to start marking. Don't block his vision, so as not to delay his attack or save.
But at this moment, Bell, who hadn't reached the bottom line, suddenly chose to pass the ball!
There is no deliberate pass to the inverted triangle, because then Bonucci will have enough time to go to Carimo's position.
Bell chose to hit the ball horizontally when he was almost two positions ahead of Li Mo, so that Li Mo had a space to accelerate to complete the shot!
Bonucci didn't expect Bell to be so bold, and he wasn't afraid of him destroying it first!
But then, Li Mo let him understand the source of Bell's confidence with his explosive speed!
"Bell passed the ball! Li Mo broke out!!!"
Zhan Jun roared angrily. During his excited explanation, Li Mo rushed to the same position as Bonucci almost in two or three steps in an instant, and got stuck in the favorable position by taking the first step!
And at the moment when Li Mo successfully got in position, his left foot also quickly kicked the ball with almost no back swing!
All this happens in just a second or two.
After Bale passed the ball, many Juventus fans felt that it was just a blink of an eye, and Li Mo had already exploded with terrifying speed, arbitrarily stuck to death Bonucci's possibility of destroying the attack!
Li Mo's shooting connection made many people fail to see the action clearly!
Buffon's response to the save was very quick, but the football drawn by Li Mo passed Buffon's fingertips even more quickly!
When the football rolled towards the far corner of the Juventus goal, Chiellini, who was full of milk, almost threw himself out at the back point to try to destroy the ball!
But when the football rolled into the net of the goal, he crossed the goal line, too late, too late! ! !
"Shoot! Wow——!!! The ball went in!!! The ball went in——!!! No. 203 minutes! Li Mo took the lead to break the goal of Juventus!!! Buffon didn't stop the ball! Amazing The Italian goalkeeper was overwhelmed by the speed and passion of Sheffield United at this moment! Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini!!! These Italian defensive stars have nothing to do with the cooperation of Bell and Li Mo! Exciting quick counterattack! This is the magic weapon for Sheffield United!!!”
Under a small crowd of red and white carnival, Li Mo leaped high, roared and punched and turned around, his eyes were full of flamboyant wantonness!
He wants to conquer this Juventus Arena today, he wants to conquer the Apennines today!
You are numb, I feel that time is a bit short, and there are still five hundred words, brothers, forgive me~
