opening a balotelli

With his recent data explosion, Aguero has become the most watched star in Manchester City.

After ten rounds of the league, he surrendered a luxurious personal score of eight goals and four assists, and he is about to usher in a transformation.

Compared with last season's unsatisfactory performance in Manchester City, this season's Aguero has the scorching scoring state when he debuted in the Premier League.

Many Manchester City fans are already expecting him to break the record of 24 individual league goals in a single season set by him when he debuted in the Premier League.

Although it is incomparable with Li Mo and Suarez, who are currently popular, but at any rate, it has surpassed Van Persie, the third center forward in the Premier League, um
It's still a little bit of face to say it.

Aguero himself can be considered to have vented a wave of depression in his heart.

In all fairness, his [-] goals and [-] assists in [-] games in his second season in the Premier League are not bad.

After all, he has been targeted and restricted by many teams and defensive players, and he himself is still adapting. Even without the stunning performance of his first season in the Premier League, he is still not close to the difference.

But the media has always been like this. When the wind direction is not right, good can be said to be average, and ordinary can naturally be said to be bad.

The stats of [-] goals in the league are really not very good for Aguero, so he didn't make too many excuses for himself.

Throughout the summer offseason, he didn't play around much, took a serious rest, and resumed training early.

He held his breath, just to perform well in the new season and slap those who looked down on him hard in the face!

Now he got his wish.

As soon as the data became more beautiful, those familiar voices of praise and praise all returned to him.

Just sometimes, he occasionally looks at the scorer list, and the two guys at the top always make him feel very troubled.
But, life is like this, no matter how proud a genius is, after being hit over and over again by opponents stronger than himself, he knows to take the initiative to adjust his mood.

It was the same when watching Messi and Ronaldo hurricane in La Liga, and now watching Li Mo and Suarez compete for data.

Aguero has not yet reached the stage of "forced retirement" in later generations, has not transformed into an Internet celebrity, and does not need to rely on some amazing remarks to gain attention for himself.

At this stage, Akun is quite solid. He is in the golden stage of his career.

Even in the face of Li Mo who has left him far behind, he still maintains a high fighting spirit and spirit.

In the football world, there has never been a rule that the strong must be the winner.

Li Mo is better than him, and the current Sheffield United is also better than Manchester City, he believes that.

But now Manchester City is qualified to challenge Sheffield United.

This is also acknowledged by Sheffield United and its supporters.

Aguero is eager to join City in beating Sheffield United, especially at Bramall Lane.

Facing this stadium that already has the title of "the strongest home stadium in the Premier League", Aguero, like many Premier League stars, hopes to conquer it!
Regardless of how difficult it is to realize this, you must dare to think first, and think about how exciting and exciting it must be if you really want to succeed!

Shattering Sheffield United's undefeated golden body with his own hands has shattered the undefeated dreams of countless Sheffield United fans. At the best time, Aguero can still score one or two goals.

Just a little fantasizing like this, Ah Kun felt that his soul was about to come out of his body!

The reputation is soaring at this moment, and there is another chance to challenge Li Mo, when not to fight now? !

With such resolute and firm thoughts, Aguero looked left and right, and finally waited until the day of November 11th.

Although his teammates came to the Bramall Lane Stadium with some nervousness and seriousness, Aguero was still full of energy and seized every opportunity to cheer his brothers before the game!
Pellegrini was naturally quite satisfied when he saw this.

He has not led the team to play against Sheffield United, so even if he knows that Manchester City has been beaten badly by Sheffield United in the previous two seasons, he himself does not have much "phobia".

Of course he attaches great importance to Sheffield United, but he has never played against them in person. He really doesn't believe that Sheffield United can beat his newly built Manchester City to death.

Just like those powerful teams that hadn't played against Bayern in the Champions League last season.

Before the fight, I always had the idea of ​​"I admit that you are strong, but I am not weak!" After the fight, there was only discomfort and powerlessness left.

Of course, compared with most of the current football coaches, Chilean engineers also have this self-confidence capital.

He led Villarreal and Malaga to create a "Champion League miracle". He even served as the helm of the Galacticos back then, and almost overthrew the domination of Barcelona in the universe in La Liga.

Although the old coach has long since lost his violent temper as a player when he was young, and a good man is a good man, he is also a character who has led Real Madrid and the top Barcelona in battle, so he naturally has his own pride in his heart.

When it comes to managing the locker room and motivating players, Pellegrini may admit that he is not as good as Speed.

But in the tactical game, he will not make any concessions to Speed.

But just as he was about to go from being cold before the game to the end of the game, Speed's proactive greeting and warm treatment made him "break the game" in a second.

"I always thought that Bayern would hire you as the head coach. To be honest, it is difficult to find a head coach in Europe who is better at training wing attacks than you."

"Malaga's performance this season has been amazing. I watched all of Malaga's games in the Champions League. It's a pity that Malaga's luck in the quarter-finals was really bad. If Dortmund didn't end before the end, they would be very lucky. Go-ahead goal, the team against Real Madrid in the semi-finals is Malaga!"

"Your arrival will undoubtedly add more opportunities for tactical changes in the Premier League. To be honest, I have been learning your wing attack tactics. After today's game, you will see if you are free, I think."

When Speed ​​threw one high hat after another and held Pellegrini's hands affectionately and refused to let go easily, the Chilean engineer was also confused.

Is this the "hypocrisy", "dark belly" and "scheming" godfather of Xie Feilian that the media often reports?
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it, is this a good young handsome who is studious and humble!

Pellegrini also couldn't help laughing, and started a friendly exchange with Speed. The scene of the communication between the two looked harmonious.

The Sheffield United players didn't pay attention to the episode that happened on the sidelines. What they were more curious about at the moment was the calmness and restrained self-confidence shown by the Manchester City players on the field.

Although it is difficult to define the pre-match state of the opponents with a single warm-up performance, it is difficult to cover up the display of spirit and spirit.

This Manchester City team is indeed different from the previous two seasons.

If it is because of the arrival of a few new aids that it has become what it is now, let alone the Sheffield United players, outside fans and media reporters will not believe it.

So the root cause still lies with Manchester City coach Manuel Pellegrini.

"Is it so miraculous? I heard that their new coach is not good at dealing with locker room issues. How long has it been here? He has done what the previous two coaches failed to do."

"Yaya Toure came off the bench in the last round of the league. Do you think he dared to say anything? The oil guy is rich, but he is not stupid. If you make trouble again, he will put you on the bench and see if you dare to contradict the coach. .”

"So, those rumors last season were true?"

"I didn't say, ahem, you guessed it yourself~"

Listening to his teammates half-guessing and half-certainly chatting about the rumors about Manchester City recently released by the media, Li Mo also shook his head with a smile.

It is probably true that Manchester City's oil guys have delegated power to Pellegrini, and it is probably true that Aguero and Silva supported Pellegrini.

But to say that Pellegrini himself advocated beating Yaya Toure is basically impossible.

It should be more that the high-level local tyrants of Manchester City saw that Yaya Toure made too much trouble last season, and they deliberately wanted to beat him.

Pei Gong is a typical good old man in the coaching world, the kind who won't offend anyone no matter where he goes.

If the old coach is really decisive to sack Yaya Toure as soon as he takes office, he won't be dismissed from Real Madrid after a short one-year coaching.

However, the shortcomings in managing players have not affected Peigong's coaching ability in the slightest.

When later generations mentioned "Tinker" and "Double Man", perhaps the first thing fans think of is Ranieri.

But in Li Mo's mind, Pellegrini is also the leader of this type of coach, even stronger than Ranieri.

He doesn't spend money indiscriminately, and he doesn't clean up the old man in the locker room at will. Pellegrini has his own way of leading the team and coaching wisdom.

Even if he can't win such a heavyweight trophy as the Champions League, no matter which club he works in, most of what Pei Gong left to fans and players are good memories.

Such a head coach is respectable, but also terrifying.

He may not have strong personal characteristics, and he may not have the winning tactics that are most in line with the trend of the times, but he can always maximize the combat effectiveness of his team.

Find stability in the turmoil, improve slowly in the stability, and hide the offense and delicacy in the bones under the control. Pei Gong's coaching characteristics are really suitable for the current Manchester City.

Li Mo will not forget that in the original history, Pellegrini led Manchester City to the Premier League title this season.

The Premier League champions in the 13-14 season and the Champions League semi-finals in the 15-16 season, this is the precious wealth that Pellegrini left to Manchester City on the original timeline.

In the first season after taking over the coach, he led Manchester City to the top of the Premier League. How can such an ability make Li Mo not pay attention to and be impressed by Pellegrini?

However, just as Speed ​​thought before the game, Li Mo valued the current Manchester City, but also did not think about "losing the game" in advance.

He is going to win!
Win simply, win beautifully, win to convince Manchester City!
Without this kind of strong self-confidence and drive, it would be a joke to talk about winning the undefeated championship.

Even if you encounter the strongest opponent, you must be tough and run over from the front!

Otherwise, it is not enough to be called more successful than Arsenal in the 03-04 season if it does not overwhelm all competitors!

The King Gunners created the most romantic fairy tale in England's top league.

They are the pioneers. Countless young fans and players grew up listening to the romantic and unbeaten story of winning the championship. Arsenal also engraved their names forever on the historical picture of the Premier League.

This kind of honor and achievement that can't be forced has a far-reaching impact on world football.

A good example is in Serie A, in front of Sheffield United.

Almost all fans know that the great AC Milan once achieved an unbeaten championship in Serie A.

They may not remember exactly which season it was, nor how many points they had, but they clearly remembered this matter.

But if a reporter reminds them now that Juventus has replicated this miracle in the 11-12 season not long ago, will they remember it clearly?

Not to mention ten years later, just over a year later, many fans do not know that Juventus has accomplished this feat.

You can say that because Serie A has fallen and not many people pay attention to it, so fans can't remember it, or you can say that Juventus' reputation is not good, so they can't attract the attention of fans after they won the undefeated championship.

But no matter what the reason is, it is a fact that Juventus, as a replicator, is far from the sensation that AC Milan created when it created miracles.

Therefore, with the lessons learned from Juventus, Sheffield United will naturally achieve a much more exaggerated record than Arsenal.

It is best to exaggerate to the point where everyone can't believe it. With such statistics to complete the undefeated championship, there is a chance to successfully surpass Arsenal and create an even greater and romantic Premier League epic season!

Therefore, against the strong teams in the league, Sheffield United don't even think about losing, a draw is unacceptable!
You must conquer all the challengers this season, you must win!

Speed ​​has never put pressure on his disciples, neither has Li Mo, but at the moment the other Sheffield United players are very clear.

The great season they have played and the great goals they want to achieve are requiring them to set higher demands on themselves!

The jokes and easy communication during the warm-up before the game are the adjustments to the mood, but they also show their determination.

For Manchester City, their only goal is to win a complete victory. If this goal is set, then it must be achieved!

So there's no need to frown and be cautious and meticulous to suppress the atmosphere in the team.

Everyone has never thought about not winning, so why keep a straight face?
This can be regarded as Sheffield United's unique way of adjusting the atmosphere in the team.

Li Mo didn't want to break this strong atmosphere of "must win", but he still had to make clear the warning words before the game.

As soon as he returned to the locker room after the warm-up, Li Mo patted the shoulders of his teammates one by one, followed by high fives or punches, and simply completed a round of silent mobilization with all the players.

There is no need for a long story. They are not like a season or two ago when they embarked on the road of pursuit of honor.

Now their goals could not be clearer, and those who want to keep up with the laggards naturally have a tenacious spirit and extremely strong inner strength.

So when Speed ​​finally finished arranging the tactical points, Li Mo clapped his hands and simply reminded a few precautions.

"Mark Silva, limit Fernandinho's build-up at the back, press both sides, and finally, don't worry, whatever happens, look at me and Danny's tactical gestures, tell me, Brothers, can we trust each other?!"

"sure!!!"

"Unity and sacrifice!"

"Come on, brothers! Come on!"

When roars and roars sounded in his ears, Li Mo stretched out the back of his hand in a timely manner and placed it at the bottom.

Layer after layer of palms overlapped forcefully, Li Mo leaned down and shouted firmly:

"That's like what we've done countless times! Fight! Fight! Fight it out! And triumph!"

"Glory, glory!!!"

"Glory to Sheffield!!!"

The final yelling in unison directly boosted the morale of the Sheffield United team to its peak!

When the players slammed into the locker room door one after another with slightly vulgar roars, and one after another "anger" poured out of the locker room door, Speed ​​stopped his palms that were already a little red!
"We can fucking win!"

The assistant coach suppressed the excitement in his heart, punched and swears in the locker room.

Speed ​​followed suit with a grin, and he couldn't agree more with this sentence.

"Yes, we can fucking win!"

※※※

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, players from both Sheffield United and Manchester City stepped onto the pitch amidst the bursting cheers of more than 4 fans at Bramall Lane Stadium under the dark and dizzy sunlight in the late autumn afternoon!
This is the unique super focus battle in this round of the Premier League!

Don't mention the so-called "war" between Manchester United and Arsenal.

In the current state of Manchester United, if Arsenal dare to lose, it is an active crime!
It is only natural that Arsenal won. If Manchester United wins in an upset, it can only show that Arsenal's state is extremely poor, and the game will be even less interesting.

So there are only three Premier League games left in this round, and one of them is the "cookie game" between Swansea and Stoke City.

The strong dialogue between Sheffield United and Manchester City has successfully attracted the attention of most Premier League fans!

Of course, such a duel also attracted the attention of many other league fans and media.

The Premier League this season can be regarded as a strong dialogue, which is obviously the contest between Sheffield United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City.

Some time ago, Sheffield United passed the level of Liverpool. If they pass the stumbling block of Manchester City today, the important task of sniping Sheffield United will really be handed over to the "London duo".

But when everyone thinks about the low winning rate of the London duo against Sheffield United in the past, they really don't have much hope in their hearts.

In contrast, Manchester City, which has maintained a good upward momentum recently and has a new look, is more hopeful!
Besides, Wenger and Mancini have played against Speed ​​a lot before, and they already know each other quite well.

This Chilean engineer is fighting Speed ​​for the first time this season. Who can guarantee that Speed ​​will not overturn?
With the spirit of eating melons that is not good but not bad, many people turned on their TVs on time, and what caught their eyes was the enthusiastic cheering scene!

While waiting nervously, the pre-match ceremony passed smoothly. The referee on duty blew the whistle to start the game on time, and the commentators from each country quickly read their opening remarks.

Tonight's Premier League game time is quite friendly to Hua Guo fans.

The start time of the game is around [-] o'clock at night, and it's Sunday again. After watching it, you can go to bed at [-] o'clock, which can end a happy weekend without delaying the early morning work on Monday tomorrow.

What's even more perfect is that the focus match between Sheffield United and Manchester City was broadcast live on Channel [-].

Compared with watching Sina's paid games on the computer, the five free live broadcasts are obviously more attractive.

And no matter what year it is, watching games on a computer is not as comfortable as watching games on a big TV screen.

Many fans just lay on the sofa or the bed in the bedroom with the snacks prepared in advance, listening to Duan Xuan's commentary on the TV screen, not to mention how comfortable it is~
He Wei is still on the front line today, taking on the job of on-site interviews.

And in the Wutai studio in the capital, Duan Xuan's partner to commentate the game is also an old friend of domestic fans, Xu Yangxu guides.

Today, when the "Xu Zhimo" meme has not yet been born, domestic fans don't need to listen to Director Xu constantly talking about how pure Moroccan football is.

In the commentary where Duan Xuan controls the main rhythm, Xu Yang only needs to fill in the gaps to explain the tactics and introduce the players of both sides. The two cooperate quite tacitly.

Although many old fans feel that after Xu Yang entered the commentary world, his understanding of tactics and the situation on the field has not improved much over the years, but there is one thing that has to be admitted.

That is, as long as the commentary is about Li Mo's game, Xu Yang will definitely make great efforts to prepare relevant materials in advance.

No matter how "bizarre" substitutions there are in the game, or what tactics the coaches of both sides are good at playing.

He can do it in a eloquent way, and the explanation is also very clear!

This is true whether it is a club game or a national team game.

Therefore, when Xu Yang commented on the Sheffield United game today, the old fans in China were quite relieved.

Hey, they may feel a little dissatisfied when they see Xu Yang in other games, but if they hear Xu Yang's commentary in the game where Li Mo plays, then it's no problem!
Director Xu has found a way to "get out of the circle" a few years in advance, and then accumulate fame, and maybe he will be able to win the title of "Li Mo's professional commentator for the game" in the future~
At this moment, he was talking to the live broadcast camera without script, explaining the tactics that the coaches of both sides wanted to play with ease.

"In the case of a four-two-three formation, Sheffield United's overall control of the midfield and defensive cutting are obviously stronger, but let's say, Pellegrini is strong because he is strong. The strength lies in the training of the wing attack. Not only Silva and Milner have performed well recently, but even the two full-backs, Zabaleta and Kolarov, have performed much better this season than last season. Come on, especially Zabaleta! I think Sheffield United should work harder on the left today."

Duan Xuan was a little taken aback by Xu Yang's determination.

"Shouldn't you be so awesome, brother, if Zabaleta doesn't perform well later on, wouldn't he be slapped in the face in front of fans all over the country!"

Duan Xuan smiled awkwardly and wanted to change the topic, and also helped Xu Yangyuan explain the loopholes in his words.

But when he was still talking about Sheffield United's recent performance, Manchester City really made an article on their right side, avoiding the center and launching a wide offensive!

Milner, Fernandinho, plus an extremely active, energetic Zabaleta who frequently inserts impact.

Needless to say, Manchester City's offensive organization on the right was decisive and fierce, and it really pushed Sheffield United's ace assaulter Bell back to halftime!

This systematic offensive routine has obviously been practiced many times.

On the basis of the good skills of several coordinating players, Manchester City's right side also really played a delicate and threatening offensive against Sheffield United, which made Speed ​​frown.

Milner is a very good midfield jack-of-all-trades, but it is not so good to say how good he is on the wing.

The key still lies in Fernandinho and Zabaleta.

Speed ​​didn't know if he had some illusions, he actually felt that the current Zabaleta had already shown the strength of the top five right backs in the world football!
Skilled, aggressive, and able to perform well on both ends of the offense and defense, under a specific tactical system, Zabaleta was really fully activated by Pellegrini!

This kind of player can be described as "mediocre" when he is not enlightened.

You can say that he can catch both offense and defense, but both offense and defense are not top-notch.

Last season, Zabaleta felt a bit of a transformation, relying on his good performance to regain his starting position from his rival Richards.

But this season, at least in this game, Zabaleta's offensive and defensive strength has obviously improved a lot compared to last season, which is outrageous!
From "mediocre" to "perfect", it seems that there is a big gap, but in fact the difference is the moment of enlightenment.

Now Zabaleta has successfully opened up!

Even if there is credit for the offensive routine designed by Peigong, Speed ​​must admit that such a Zabaleta is no worse than Trippier.

Even because of his richer game experience, Zabaleta's strength this season can be said to have surpassed Trippier!

Li Mo was watching his left side being forced back by Manchester City on the field at the moment, and he also clicked his tongue secretly.

Guigui, Berga Felipe Luiz's combination has to temporarily avoid the edge of Manchester City's right!
Although Sheffield United also intended to test more in the opening stage and did not attack with all their strength, who would dare to think about such a situation before the game?

"It is worthy of being the number one right back in the Premier League at its peak! Even if Zabaleta's peak period is short, this strength is really nothing to say."

After admiring a lot in his heart, Li Mo also took a few more glances at the situation of the players in the left half of the defense zone changing positions.

Although Bell seemed a little "worried" this time, he was pushed back to his own half to assist in the defense.

But at least he has played as a full-back for a long time, and he has a solid defense, so he hasn't made any major mistakes.

Felipe Luis did not rush in to steal, and he still stood firmly on the sideline with Matic's sweep.

This defensive method seems a bit passive, but it is still very safe because it will not let the opponent penetrate to the end due to aggressive mistakes.

"Run! Run more! Kevin, you'd better keep an eye on the center and watch Fernandinho's organization transfer. I'll go to the side!"

After thinking for a while, Li Mo made a decisive decision.

The most stupid way, but also the most effective way, of course, is to increase the manpower in the defense zone and directly double-team the interference.

This will be Manchester City's main attack, and Sheffield United is not in a hurry to fight back, so he, the center forward, will not affect his own tactical arrangements at all.

De Bruyne still needs to focus more on the center, Neymar's defensive ability on the right is weak, and De Bruyne will be needed to help fill the position later.

Li Mo decided to run more by himself and work harder.

With his active pressing on the wing and retreating to help defend, Sheffield United's left half of the defense area is indeed much more stable.

At least if Manchester City wants to advance to the 30-meter area of ​​Sheffield United, it will take a lot of time.

This kind of uneconomical offensive investment obviously does not meet the expectations of Manchester City players.

If you can't get through on the right, then you have to tilt your offensive resources to the left. With Silva, and more penetration and cooperation, Manchester City may not have opportunities on the left.

So under Manchester City's deliberate dispatch and transfer, the main offensive and defensive battlefields on both sides quickly shifted. Pellegrini saw this scene clearly and was shocked.

After all, the so-called in-depth research before is not as impressive as fighting once!

Sheffield United's defense is really carved into the bones of the team.

It doesn't matter if Bell actively returns to the defense, but Li Mo can also actively fight and strangle!

There is one more defender in this part. Without considering the physical consumption, defense has a natural advantage!
And when the midfielder combination of Drinkwater and Matic gradually improved with the passage of time in the game, the efficient and quick excellent defense and interception made Pellegrini's heart beat even more.

De Bruyne retreated, and Neymar also began to retreat frequently!

As soon as the strangling tactics in the midfield start, Manchester City should not even think about quickly advancing the offense along the sidelines. First, stabilize the ball and grasp the situation on the field.

"The classic Sheffield United-style oppressive defense is here! This is the collision of strong physical confrontation and technology! Sheffield United is very good at restraining Manchester City's wing offensive. Start to strangle in the infancy! Either you fight with me to strangle in the midfield, or you honestly recover the formation and prepare to meet my attack. Speed's tactical pressing is as simple and direct as ever! Pellegrini may have to face The tactics have been adjusted!"

Duan Xuan didn't let Xu Yang grab the conversation this time, and rather excitedly revealed Speed's tactical intention at the moment.

Speed ​​is actually a chicken thief, and he played against Manchester City in the past when he didn't come up.

He just put on a stable defensive posture first, and then hooked Manchester City to inevitably make tentative attacks on the two wings.

This is not only a temptation for Manchester City, but also a temptation for Sheffield United.

Know yourself and the enemy, and you won't be in danger in a hundred battles.

This new Manchester City has changed a lot. Sheffield United must first understand the changes in the opponent's strength before considering making the next tactical adjustment.

This kind of tactical arrangement is stable, just not taking risks in the opening stage.

Facts have proved that Speed's stability, or "conservative" has indeed played a role.

If you really want to play a high position against the current Manchester City, then under the premise of sufficient skills and a lot of refined tactics, Manchester City may really be able to calmly spread a few counterattack routes from the side!
But now Sheffield United has placed the main battlefield of the fight near the middle circle, and there are enough defenders behind. First of all, they are not afraid of Manchester City's sudden attack.

Secondly, Manchester City has invested enough troops at this moment to try to open the gap from the sideline of the midfield, reaching a small intersection of tactical choices.

If they continue to compete with Sheffield United for offensive dominance, facing Sheffield United's more advantageous fighting, confrontation and physical fitness, how long can Manchester City's players persist in this simple and crude battle of attrition without falling behind?

Instead of fighting for offensive dominance, how can Manchester City's dominant sideline open up the expected situation?
You know, if you choose a shrinking formation, you basically have to play counterattacks. How can Manchester City play counterattacks against Sheffield United, an expert in counterattacks!
The situation became much clearer in an instant.

Speed ​​waited for Pellegrini to make a decision.

Either Stud continued to fight with Sheffield United under physical pressure to maintain control of the situation, or he obediently gave up the ball and let Sheffield United rush and fight.

In the anticipation of Speed's smirk, Pei Gong also quickly made his own tactical choice.

"Attack! Don't stop! We must get the goal first! If we don't score, no matter how we avoid the attrition war with Sheffield United, this game will hardly go according to our expected situation!"

Pellegrini gave decisive tactical instructions to the assistant coach. His assistant coach got up excitedly and rushed to the sidelines, yelling at Manchester City players not to back down!
"well!!!"

Speed ​​slapped his hands and almost jumped up from the coach's bench!

This is the Chilean engineer in his heart!

Idea to idea, skill to skill!
This is not only a competition of will and skill between Sheffield United and Manchester City players, but also a competition of belief between the two coaches!

If it is said that Pellegrini's blood is flowing with the gene of passing and controlling offensive football.

When Speed's bones are cut open, the inside is full of tough steel slag that oppresses the defense!
Pellegrini wants to score the first goal.

Because he knows that whenever Sheffield United scores the first goal in the game, the balance of the game will infinitely lean towards Sheffield United.

Faced with such a perverted team whose defensive concept is so tough that it is almost stubborn, and the configuration perfectly fits the defense.

If we really want them to fight against the counterattack smoothly, let alone Manchester City, which has not yet been remodeled, even if Barcelona come, it will be difficult to bite the bullet!

Manchester City has technical confidence and Pellegrini's innovative pass control tactics. Pellegrini believes that he can take a gamble!
It is worth fighting for an unreserved half. As long as there is a goal, Manchester City can take advantage of this goal to make a lot of fuss.

Speed ​​chose to strangle with all his strength and scramble at halftime, but he was actually gambling!

Just as Pei Gong believes in the offense of the team he adjusted, Speed ​​believes in the tough defense of his team!
Moreover, he has one more variable than Pellegrini, the biggest variable!

Even if it would appear that he is not so "master-like", it would appear that he is bullying others.

But he just played his cards and has always been full of confidence!
"I still have Li Mo!"

※※※

"Pellegrini did not back down! Manchester City will continue to fight Sheffield United! At least in the first half, Manchester City players will not have any physical crisis. If Sheffield United really wants to kill Manchester City, That will have to be delayed until the second half to decide the outcome!"

Duan Xuan clenched his palms tightly, a little sweat reflected his nervousness at the moment.

After all, it is defense against offense, and Sheffield United still plays a little passively.

If Manchester City is lucky and Sheffield United adjusts their tactics midway, they may really be poked out by Manchester City.

However, Xu Yang, who had been sitting beside Duan Xuan in silence for a few minutes, spoke firmly at this moment:

"No, no, Sheffield United won't delay that long!"

Before Duan Xuan asked curious questions, Xu Yang clicked on the tactical forecast draft in front of him, and suddenly continued confidently:

"Because they have Li Mo!"

With Xu Yang's slightly "metaphysical" explanation, many Hua Guo fans' hearts jumped.

At this moment, the game time has come to the No. 18 minute of the first half. The players on both sides have kicked out of the state, fighting for every inch of land, and the competition for the ball is very fierce!
Manchester City has accelerated the speed of organization and transmission. Under the control of bold skills, Silva and Yaya Toure, who has not forgotten the main role for the time being, played a lot of wonderful passes and cuts with his teammates in the midfield and frontcourt.

The Sheffield United fans at the scene were also envious.

De Bruyne is very good and very talented, but seeing Silva, who can still play brilliantly no matter how he is double-teamed at the moment, they are still jealous!

This kind of midfielder is really rare, why did Manchester City pick it up back then!
With the technical support of him and Yaya Toure, Manchester City's offensive in the midfield can always be smooth and silky. Several through attempts also shocked Sheffield United fans into a cold sweat!
Aguero is very eager to shoot today. From the opening to the present, he has tried four kick attempts outside the Sheffield United penalty area.

Although it does not seem to be enough to pose a threat to Sommer, it is not an option to keep him trying like this.

"Sheffield United still has too few offensive opportunities!"

As soon as such thoughts appeared in their minds, many home fans subconsciously looked at Li Mo who was standing near the middle circle.

Li Mo, who was wandering leisurely near Yaya Toure, didn't seem to panic at all.

He continued to put pressure on Yaya Toure and Fernandinho behind him to prevent them from getting too much in to support Manchester City's attack.

From this point of view, Li Mo can be considered to have made a relatively large defensive contribution.

Even if he retreats less this time, being able to overwhelm Manchester City's two midfielders is more effective than him retreating to help his teammates defend.

The strangulation in Sheffield United's midfield continued, but Li Mo's thoughts became more and more clear.

Drinkwater forced Silva, who was holding the ball, to leave the wing and move to the center.

After making a familiar short pass with both feet, Silva slightly got rid of Drinkwater's press.

From the corner of his eye, Li Mo caught a glimpse of Silva's figure standing behind him. He narrowed his eyes slightly, but subconsciously moved away from Yaya Toure by one meter.

The distance of this meter is enough for Yaya Toure to step forward to safely meet Silva's return pass, thus completing the transfer or combing of the ball again.

Silva turned his head and kept observing, and Yaya Toure also waved to greet him, indicating that his surroundings were fine.

Silva felt relieved. Continuous passing was nothing to him. It would be good if he could reorganize the offense. Yaya Toure has a good long pass ability, and maybe he can make a large-scale transfer
Thinking of this, Silva is relieved to pass the ball back.

But the moment he hit the ball, a Sheffield United player who had deliberately concealed his figure before also accelerated violently, jumped out from behind him, and ran straight towards the football!

"Be careful!!!"

Fernandinho, who was observing carefully, noticed something was wrong at this time, but it was too late for him to sound the reminder!

De Bruyne, who was overjoyed, exploded with terrifying acceleration, and finally fell to the ground and passed the ball hook behind Yaya Toure!
"Oops!"

Silva and Yaya Toure had bad thoughts at the same time.

At the same time, Manchester City's offensive came to an abrupt end, the football passed over Yaya Toure's head, and the Ivorian superstar decisively turned and chased back!

But when he saw that familiar tall figure with two long legs and running towards the football that hadn't landed in the air, his heart seemed to tremble!
Fernandinho had no intention of cursing others, he rushed over without hesitation, but the goal was not the football that was about to hit the ground, but Li Mo himself!

Decisively chose the shovel to intercept!
Fernandinho knew that he was likely to get a card, but he had no choice. If he asked Li Mo to stop football, he would not be able to stop him. He still had this feeling.

The best form of defense is the personal deterrence of offensive players!
This sentence sounds a bit dirty, but for midfielders and defenders, it is another "sage saying".

Fernandinho made his choice, but at the moment when the two were about to collide, Li Mo's legs jumped into the air extremely sensitively!

The falling football landed on his slightly raised instep almost just right, and was driven to rise into the air again. Li Mo directly completed a man-ball pass in this way!
A slight stagger after landing can't stop Li Mo's determination to move forward, and he doesn't even need to make fine adjustments, he can accelerate quickly, and he's done!

Fernandinho was dumbfounded, he shoveled at Li Mo's ankle at that time!
As long as they are not fools, professional players will definitely give up the ball right away to protect their ankles!
But Li Mo boldly chose to be extraordinary!
"How dare he??? Isn't he afraid at all?!"

Brazil's lower back fell on the field where grass clippings were flying, his mind almost turned into a paste.

But he would never have imagined that Li Mo would hang up!

That is not afraid of fierce confrontation and serious injuries at all!
After passing Fernandinho, Li Mo didn't have a smooth road ahead, but facing Kolarov who attacked first and came to interfere with him, Li Mo didn't panic at all.

Kolarov is relatively tall, and he is quite imposing when he rushes up, but Li Mo understands the characteristics of this full-back.

You can praise him for his comprehensive skills, excellent free kicks and long-range shots, and excellent offensive penetration ability, but as a full-back, his too tall stature makes him have an unavoidable flaw.

speed!

Kolarov may choose to attack with the idea of ​​stopping Li Mo at the cost of a foul.

But he thinks highly of his speed!
Like a violent hurricane passing by, Kolarov was very annoyed at Li Mo's rough and tough choice of eating raw.

But he had no choice but to put his hand on Li Mo's sleeve in aggrieved manner, sticking it tightly, trying to make Li Mo slow down by making a foul.

However, during the fight between the two, Li Mo's speed did not slow down at all. On the contrary, he dragged Kolarov and forced him to accelerate!
Kolarov was staggered by the lead, and after discovering Li Mo's intentions, he grabbed Li Mo's trousers without hesitation!

This time, Li Mo was shocked. I don't know if it was because of Kolarov's actions that he was frightened again. The husband was thrown on the turf!

There was no time to touch the bottom of his trousers and observe whether his trousers were ripped open, so Li Mo couldn't care less now.

He glanced slightly out of the corner of his eye, only to realize that Bell, who was sprinting with all his strength on his left, had already followed his pace!

In an instant, the two tacitly chose to pull away to complete their respective running positions.

Nastasic was forced to retreat to the penalty area to prevent Li Mo from giving Bell the ball, while Demichelis stared nervously at Li Mo's advance, and also kept retreating sideways.

Demichelis used to be reckless on the defensive end, but after following Pellegrini to Manchester City this season, his defense has become much calmer.

He watched Li Mo's goal highlights before the game, knowing that Li Mo is very good at explosive changes.

He is getting older now, and his speed is not his strong point. If he grabs easily, it will easily give Li Mo a one-handed chance to smash the ball, so he chooses to wait for other teammates to return to the defense very carefully.

At least in the middle, he didn't give Li Mo room to break through easily. As for whether Li Mo would choose to pass the ball to the right, that's not something he should consider.

The defensive route planned by Demichelis is very clear, and he has a certain degree of confidence that he can withstand the impact of Li Mo at the moment when Li Mo finally forcibly breaks through the barrier.

Even if it's just a disturbance, it's enough!

With such decisive thoughts, Demichelis was trying to get stuck in the position where Li Mo continued to advance in the middle.

But in the next second, Li Mo also decisively placed his thick right thigh while dribbling the ball!

This scene made Demichelis' eyes and pupils wide open. He retreated immediately and stretched out his feet to interfere, but Li Mo's connecting action has been completed!

"boom!!!"

A horrible low muffled sound came from the contact part of Li Mo's instep and the football, and Demichelis' ears hurt from hearing it!

The moment he didn't stop the football, Demichelis subconsciously looked back at his goal, hoping to see Joe Hart soaring into the air with hopeful eyes!
But in his eyes, Joe Hart's position selection at the moment is a bit too bad!

Standing slightly forward, Joe Hart, who was far away from the goal line, probably never thought that Li Mo would dare to take a long shot at a distance of 26 meters from the goal!

Therefore, when the football roared and went straight to the dead corner of the goal, Joe Hart could only retreat in despair, then jumped up, trying to touch some of the ball.

But he ended up touching nothing but air!
When the crisp sound of football rubbing against the net sounded behind him, Joe Hart's heart was also stiff and cold. He knew that he was finished! ! !

Taking the South Stand of Bramall Lane Stadium behind Manchester City's goal as the center, when Li Mo's shocking kick hit the net, the terrifying tsunami-like crazy sound completely swept through the stadium!
The tactical board in Pellegrini's hand fell straight to the turf.

The old man's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe the picture that appeared in front of him at this moment!
The Manchester City players on the bench covered their heads. Under the extremely noisy and boiling environment, they only felt ringing in their ears and flustered!
When the players of Sheffield United completely drowned Li Mo, who had snarled and slid to the corner flag area, Speed ​​also ran nearly 50 meters from his coach's bench in one breath!Just to join this hearty carnival feast! ! !

Pellegrini just watched Speed ​​rushing past him. The two did not communicate with each other, but a wordless eye contact said everything!
"This is my real trump card, handsome!"
