"Suarez seems to be in a bad state. It seems that this world preliminaries also exhausted him. The key point is that Uruguay will play a play-off with Australia, which is a bit miserable."

As he stood in the tunnel waiting for the game to start, Vardy was still discussing the morning match between Liverpool and Newcastle.

At present, the three teams that are not far behind Sheffield United are Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea.

So if there is time, Sheffield United players will naturally pay more attention to the performance of these three teams.

Liverpool was tied at the home court of the Magpies, and Suarez was in a terrible state. If Gerrard and Sturridge hadn't stepped forward, maybe Liverpool would have lost today's game.

But this unexpected draw is good news for Sheffield United.

As long as they hold on to the October schedule and continue to win unanimously, the teams behind cannot bear the pressure and will always fall behind.

Not every team can have the tenacity of Manchester United last season. Even if there is another team this season, the final winner will be Sheffield United.

The players at Sheffield United are convinced of that.

"Okay, brothers, line up and get ready to play."

Li Mo saw that the referee was waving to greet him and he was about to play, so he reminded his teammates.

Vardy grinned and dodged to hide in the team, and the rest of the Sheffield United players gradually restrained their smiles.

Sheffield United started a lot of rotation today.

Players such as Vardy, Dirk, Barry, Lescott, and Stones will all start the game.

It is rare to have such a starting opportunity, and it is also facing Swansea, which is not in a good state at present. Sheffield United will be gearing up and preparing to perform well at Swansea's home court.

Li Mo is still playing against the formation, and he and Neymar are the biggest guarantee for Sheffield United on the offensive end.

Looking around himself, Li Mo suddenly remembered the time when he was promoted to the Premier League.

At that time, as soon as the team came into rotation, he had to drag a group of teammates who were only as good as the British Championship to support and grab points.

Looking at it now, even with the rotation, his teammates are all very strong.

The hardest days have passed, and they now have bigger goals and more ambitions.

As the referee team moved forward, Li Mo took a firm step while holding the caddy.

"Let's go!"

※※※

"Sheffield United is still so bold. Speed ​​has almost replaced the main players. Li Mo, Neymar in the frontcourt, and Felipe Luiz and Sommer in the backcourt. Wouldn't it be a bit overbearing?"

"Don't just look at the rotation of the lineup, you have to look at the strength of these players. The defensive combination of Stones and Lescott is very good. After all, it is the current British foot. Even if it is a substitute, it is not Stones. Wanxi players can compare, don't worry!"

"Swansea's current situation is not good. They have fallen to No.16 in the league. They have not entered the relegation zone because of their goal difference. They basically cannot threaten Sheffield United."

"It depends on whether we can score in the first half. If Li Mo is in good form today, if he can score one or two goals in the first half, then Swansea will basically be finished!"

Before the game officially started, fans in Huaguo began to do research with the starting rosters of the two teams.

The two-week international match day can make these fans suffocate. After all, not everyone is interested in the world preliminaries.

As far as the excitement of the game is concerned, the league and the Champions League are better.

Today is Saturday, and the start time of the Premier League is very comfortable. Huaguo kicks off at ten o'clock in the evening, so there are a large number of Huaguo fans waiting for the Sheffield United match to start on time.

Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu also sat in the studio on time, presenting today's live commentary of the Premier League to the fans.

The Liberty Stadium in Swansea is not big, just enough to seat 2 people, but the fans of the two teams were very enthusiastic, and the atmosphere of the game was relatively strong.

"Swansea have not been affected by the international match day. They basically play with all the main players. It's just that their game state is not very good recently. For example, Michu, the Spanish midfielder who played extremely well last season, this The start of the season was not satisfactory for the Swansea fans, only one goal was scored in seven league games, and there have been many voices criticizing him recently."

Before the game, Zhan Jun also commented on Mi Chu's recent performance with some regrets.

The explosive star who scored [-] league goals last season and broke into the top five scorers in the Premier League, this season seems to have lost his magic and is restricted by the teams.

Obviously, Michu has been thoroughly studied by the Premier League teams, and Swansea's tactical system has not changed much from last season, so naturally they will never be able to show the amazing performance of last season.

"Routledge's performance is fairly stable, but it is still a bit difficult for him to threaten Sheffield United's right-sided defense. In addition, Williams is absent due to injury, and Swansea's defense line does not have a pinnacle. The bombing of the Philippine strike group is also unknown."

Director Zhang Lu still has strong confidence in Sheffield United. Among other things, the offensive line that Sheffield United put up today is enough for Swansea to drink a pot.

Dirk, Limer, Vardy, Neymar.

Such an offensive four-man team is strong enough, even without Bell's sharp advance on the left in the past, it is completely enough to penetrate Swansea's defense.

"We have seen the double midfielder combination of Barry and Dembele before. The chemical reaction is very good. It is on the right side of Sheffield United. The right back starts with Matthew Lorton, who has not had a chance for a while. I don’t know how he will perform today, let’s wait and see!”

Accompanied by Zhan Jun's commentary, the on-site game soon entered the countdown to the opening.

Li Mo didn't get the right to kick-off, and Sheffield United will retreat to the half-court position first.

With the whistle of the referee on duty, the eighth round of the Premier League game officially began.

Swansea's starting center Bonny tapped the football, Michu then passed the ball back, and Swansea's midfielder De Guzman took the ball and began to organize his teammates to run.

Sheffield United was not careless here. Li Mo and Vardy took the lead to press down on the midfielders who interfered with Swansea.

The rest of the Sheffield United players are guarding against the first wave of probing long balls that Swansea may play.

Speed ​​nodded on the sidelines and didn't say much.

And after 1 minute, Swansea also launched a long pass attack in the backcourt.

Their defensive midfielder Britton passed a big slash forward, and they were indeed looking for their most threatening left forward Routledge.

Routledge, who played double-five figures in Swansea last season, has already entered the peak of his career.

Even though he has shortcomings such as insufficient shooting skills and sometimes dribbling too much, his excellent dribbling still allowed Mr. Huo to call him into the last period of the British national team.

In the world preliminaries against the Polish team, Routledge finally got the chance to play in the national team, and in a total of [-] minutes of playing time, his performance was not bad.

With such a qualification, Routledge has been proud of himself recently.

Regardless of whether he can participate in next year's World Cup, he can also add the phrase "bring British feet" to his resume.

With a lot of confidence, Routledge took the ball and headed towards the defense zone guarded by Matthew Lorton.

Neymar's defensive task is very light. This is a tactical privilege given to him by Speed. He is often on the right side, and both midfielders and full-backs need to wipe Neymar's ass more.

That's exactly what Barry did this time. He moved closer to Matthew Lorton immediately, but Matthew Lorton raised his hand to signal him not to double-team.

"I can handle it!"

Matthew Lorton's confident words stunned Barry for a moment, but Barry quickly reacted and moved directly to Matthew Lorton's side, ready to help defend at all times.

Matthew Lorton looked at the menacing Routledge, but his thoughts went back to two years ago.

In the British Championship, he played against Routledge. At that time, this kid was still in the Queens Park Rangers. At that time, he performed very well and was not afraid of Routledge's dribbling breakthrough.

While recalling, Matthew Lorton set up a defensive stance sideways, and deliberately left room for Routledge to attack from the wing.

Routledge took the ball tentatively and started to shake his footsteps. His shoulders were inward and he was about to cut in. When Matthew Lorton's footsteps followed inward, he decisively smashed the ball and walked to the sideline!

But just after the ball kicked off, Routledge was horrified to find that Matthew Lorton completed the turn and chase one step faster than him!

It seemed that the inward posture just now was deliberately deceiving him.

Matthew Lorton gave Routledge a solid block confrontation, and then quickly passed the ball back to Stones who came to meet him.

"Why do you have the illusion that you can pass me? What you couldn't do two years ago, you can't do now."

Matthew Lorton laughed and trash-talked Routledge, shaking his head as he spoke, as if keeping him in check was a trivial matter.

The Swansea fans at the scene immediately booed strongly, but Matthew Lorton didn't care at all, and started to advance leisurely from the side of the ugly Routledge.

"Haha, Matthew Lorton still likes to mess with opponents so much, and his strength doesn't seem to have regressed much. Although he can't compete with Trippier, it's because his offensive method is too simple and he is inferior in technology. A little better, but in terms of defensive ability alone, Lorton is no worse than Trippier!"

Seeing Matthew Lorton's confident performance, Zhan Jun felt relieved a lot.

Before the game, many fans were worried that Matthew Lorton, who had not played this season, would become a breakthrough for Sheffield United's defense.

But judging from the wonderful single defense just now, Matthew Lorton is still an indispensable defensive champion in Sheffield United's rotation.

It's just that he has fewer chances to play, but it's not that he's changed!

Speed ​​continued to applaud Matthew Lorton off the court.

He felt a lot of apologies for his once proud disciple. Seeing that the other party still performed well on the court at this moment, he felt proud but also felt more and more guilty.

Speed ​​has also thought about letting Matthew Lorton go out to find a more suitable team, just like Ched Evans.

Sheffield United can't play the main force here. It's not that they are bad, but they are not suitable. If you change to a mid-level Premier League team, they can also play the main position.

But Matthew Lorton bluntly rejected Speed's "good intentions".

He is the brother of Li Mo and Maguire, and he is also a kid who came out of Sheffield United's youth training camp.

When Sheffield United was reduced to the English Championship, he never thought of leaving. Later, he played with Sheffield United in the Premier League, and he will not leave.

"This is my hometown. I play for my beloved team. My dream has come true. As long as the team still needs me, I will stay until I retire. Boss, do you still need me?"

This was the answer Matthew Lorton gave Speed ​​at the beginning. When he asked the last sentence, Speed ​​was also at a loss for words.

So the transfer of Matthew Lorton was no longer mentioned by Speed.

It's just that Matthew Lorton accepted his position and was very calm and calm, but Speed ​​still felt owed to this disciple.

Perhaps such loyalty is a natural part of football.

In Speed's view, Matthew Lorton abandoned a lot, but from Matthew Lorton's perspective, maybe he gained more.

The choice is his own, and Speed ​​can only give him as much playing time as possible, and try his best to get him a lucrative contract extension.

But in Matthew Lorton's heart, having these is completely enough.

"Oh! Beautiful steal! Barry's attack catches Michu a little off guard. Sheffield United has a chance to counterattack!"

Zhan Jun started his passionate commentary. In the live broadcast at this moment, the front four of Sheffield United quickly started to advance, and a hurricane counterattack was about to be staged!
Thousands of Sheffield United fans at the scene also cheered in cheers. Neymar received a timely long pass from Barry, and he advanced very fast!
Vardy and Didier were very smart to help Li Mo take away several defensive players. Li Mo's forward penetration is very eye-catching at this moment.

Almost all fans know that when Li Mo is about to rush into the Swansea penalty area, it depends on whether Neymar can get rid of the defender and send a pass.

As long as they connect successfully, then Sheffield United is very likely to score a blitz in the first half, and then the balance of victory will tilt infinitely towards Sheffield United.

Neymar dribbled away De Guzman's defense wonderfully and directly. Just when he wanted to challenge Ben Davis further, a shout sounded in his ear.

"Here, Nene!"

It's too late to see who it is, Neymar just thinks this is a good chance to overlap.

Ben Davis was approaching him, even if he pulled the side to return to the defense, it would not be too late. Neymar did not hesitate too much, and sent the ball directly behind Ben Davis with a straight kick.

"Matthew Lorton's plug! He's hemmed!"

The commentator of Sky Sports became excited, and Matthew Lorton, as all the commentators guessed, directly chose to go to the bottom!
Let him play those fancy dribbles, he can't play well, but he is not unfamiliar with the set of crosses.

Back in the day, he was the side maniac who gave Li Mo the most assists in the team!
A familiar feeling welled up in my heart, and Matthew Lorton sent a powerful low cross directly after a step inside!

At the moment when Matthew Lorton passed the ball, Li Mo accelerated past Britton who was chasing him!
one step, two steps
After breaking out to catch up with Swansea's lagging defender Flores, Li Mo decisively fell to the ground behind the goal and shot!

The extremely fast football flew into Swansea's goal after Li Mo blocked the shot. Before Swansea goalkeeper Walm could react, Li Mo quickly got up and ran towards Matthew Lorton!
At this moment, the Liberty Stadium has almost become an exclusive celebration site for Sheffield United fans.

A beautiful and simple blitz that left the Swansea fans speechless!

Speed ​​ran wildly on the sidelines to celebrate abnormally, Matthew Lorton opened his arms, stood one step ahead of the corner flag area and waited for Li Mo with a big smile.

And Li Mo unceremoniously picked up Matthew Lorton!

"It's so fucking beautiful! We still have a perfect understanding!"

Li Mo was very happy to growl at Matthew Lorton.

For a moment, both of them seemed to have returned to two years ago.

In the days when Sheffield United first set sail, they joined forces and turned the British Championship upside down!

"Good job bro!"
