Chapter 395 Treat Sheffield United Differently, Unlucky Tottenham

"2-2!The end of Leverkusen!Bianconeri Carnival! "

"Where is the upper limit of Sheffield United to draw with the Bundesliga powerhouses in full rotation? "

"Pharmaceuticals give up the initiative!Ugly draw! "

"The qualifying situation of Group A is clear, the Italians' redemption battle! "

On November 11th, with the end of another round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, outside fans and the media's discussion around the qualifying situation of Group A seemed to usher in the final chapter of the coffin.

Facing Sheffield United without a starter, Leverkusen unfortunately only achieved a 2-2 draw.

And his direct competitor Juventus beat Real Sociedad 3-0 at home!
Everything seems to have come to an end.

Sheffield United made it clear that they will not put too much energy into the last two group games, and Juventus' defense is much better than Leverkusen.

So even if you look at it conservatively, as long as Juventus sticks to the last round and strives to score a point here at Sheffield United, if Leverkusen can't beat Real Sociedad by a big score, then Juventus can rely on goal difference advantage to get the second chance to qualify in the group.

Of course, for the Juventus fans who are surprised and fortunate at the moment.

The best case scenario is that Juventus wins the last round of Sheffield United, which has no desires and desires, or Leverkusen loses the chain and cannot win Real Sociedad.

Only in this way can we cut off all suspense and securely enter the top sixteen of the Champions League.

But since it has been said that it is the most ideal situation, it is naturally not easy to achieve.

Leverkusen is also being forced to the edge of a cliff, and will definitely try its best to score goals against Real Sociedad in the last round.

Just allow you Juventus to play 3-0, and not allow Leverkusen to play a bigger score?
So, the key depends on Juventus itself.

I just want to win a victory at Sheffield United's home court. No matter how you look at it, it's a bit unreliable.
Fortunately, there are still nearly two weeks of preparation time before the arrival of the next round of the Champions League group stage. At least during this period, Juventus fans are happy and full of optimism.

After an unexpected draw, Sheffield United's combat effectiveness was once again put on the table for analysis by the media across Europe and the so-called "experts" in the industry.

Pure rotation, playing away games, facing No.3 in the Bundesliga, which is only one point away from the top team, Sheffield United not only withstood the opponent's fierce attack, but also scored two goals steadily through defense!

Had it not been for Kisling's experienced trick of fouling Stones in the penalty area at the last moment and getting a penalty kick, Leverkusen might still lose at home!

Unbelievable, it can only be said that the strength of Sheffield United's rotation has shocked the whole of Europe.

And Vardy, who scored twice in the whole game, once again made fans all over the world recognize him.

Ghostly moves, powerful sprints, and stable shooting skills!
When these advantages are vividly displayed in front of the fans, they finally understand why Speed ​​has always praised Vardy as Li Mo's best partner in the double striker tactic.

Even though Vardy is now in the rotation, Speed ​​and Sheffield United players have been full of praise for him.

This is not the strength that a rotation striker should have. Which league's mid-upstream team is not the main force?

After this round of the Champions League, many neutral fans curiously checked Vardy's data this season.

The result is that if you don't check, you don't know. Once it is found out, countless fans call out "good guy!".

From the beginning of this season to the present, Vardy has scored seven goals in the league, three goals in the Carabao Cup, and three goals in the Champions League!
If only the number of appearances is counted, Vardy is already close to averaging one goal per game!
Hey, is this the stats a rotation forward should have? ? ?

"I beg Sheffield United to give other Premier League teams a way to survive. A striker of Vardy's level can only be released to 'help the poor'? This is a complete waste!"

Many Premier League fans started booing, calling on Sheffield United to let Vardy go to a team that can give him more opportunities.

Some of them are shouting, but there are also many fans who sincerely appeal.

After all, Vardy can now be regarded as the starting center forward with the British national team, and it turned out that he played a rotation here at Sheffield United.

Even if Sheffield United is in the limelight now and can get a lot of trophies and honors every year, there are still many England fans who hope that Vardy can go to a team that is sure to start.

It doesn't matter if it's not a giant. Teams like Everton and Tottenham are good. Would you rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a snake?

But in the face of these seemingly "well-intentioned" suggestions, Vardy just looked at them for fun, and put them behind him with a smile, without thinking about them at all.

As he promised to Speed ​​before, unless Sheffield United doesn't need him anymore, he will only finish his career in Sheffield United, and it is best to retire in Sheffield United.

Not everyone knows how to be grateful, but Vardy does.

Without Speed, without Sheffield United, he would not have the opportunity to become famous in the Champions League today.

Without the selfless help and encouragement of Li Mo and many Sheffield United teammates, he would not have come to where he is today.

In one life, money and prestige are worth pursuing, but there are also many things that may be more precious that are worth cherishing.

For Vardy, Sheffield United, as well as the brothers and teachers in the Sheffield United team, are more precious and worthy of his cherishment.

Besides, Sheffield United did not treat him badly.

The lucrative contract provides his family with a job at the club, not to mention successfully operating him into the British national team.

And his stats are not bad. Now playing in the rotation, the stats are better than when he played in the starting lineup before. He is very satisfied.

Even though there was a little depression before, in the frank communication with Speed ​​and his teammates, these depressions finally disappeared.

After returning to the training base, facing the teasing and congratulations from his brothers, Vardy was still the same as usual, pulling those who only congratulated verbally and let him treat directly.

So the group of animals quickly dispersed, and in the end, only Li Mo was left to take over the treat with a smile.

Nothing has changed, the atmosphere in the team, everyone's happy way of getting along, and Speed's familiar hair dryer
Vardy knows that he is still him, Sheffield United is still that Sheffield United, and their group of brothers will get together and work hard for many years, which is enough.

※※※

Sheffield United, which continued its unbeaten record in all competitions in the new season, challenged Aston Villa at Villa Park on November 11.

Even though it hasn't officially entered December, the devil's schedule has quietly started, and this league is a new starting point.

From today to December 12th, the Premier League will play three rounds of the league at an accelerated pace.

Three games in eight days, this rhythm is really sour.

For Sheffield United, after playing Villa, they will face the challenges of Chelsea and Tottenham one after another. The difficulty of the league is even more difficult than other Premier League teams.

Fortunately, after the previous two-week rest, Sheffield United will not be affected by the Champions League now. It is no problem for the main players to survive the three rounds of the league physically.

After all, when it comes to rotation and rest, Sheffield United has already achieved the Premier League and even the best in Europe at this point.

The scientific rotation adjustments of previous months are showing a huge effect at this moment.

The good physical condition that the main players usually maintain is used to fight tough battles at such critical moments.

The main players of Sheffield United who did not play in the Champions League and rested for nearly three days did not disappoint the coaching team. It took only half time to completely defeat Aston Villa.

Li Mo scored twice, Bell passed a shot, De Bruyne contributed an assist, Neymar made many dangers!

The 3-0 score directly made the second half of the game meaningless.

In the 8th minute of the second half, after Neymar assisted Bell to score again, Speed ​​even waved his hand and replaced all the offensive tridents.

In the end, Sheffield United won a hearty victory at Villa's home court!

The score of 4-0 was also very convincing, which made a good start for the severe challenges ahead.

At least the fans of Sheffield United are full of confidence, shouting slogans and will work with the team to defend the undefeated gold at the Bramall Lane Stadium in the new season.

With Sheffield United's high morale and high fighting spirit, Chelsea, who are going to challenge first, is very "stressful".

They finished the game a day after Sheffield United beat Aston Villa, beat Southampton 2-0, and continued to maintain their third place in the league.

Mancini's work this season is still quite good, and Abramovich is very satisfied with him. As long as he does not lose the chain before the winter window opens, he can get a lot of money for signings in the winter window.

But this outstanding performance also depends on the comparison object.

Compared with Arsenal, Tottenham, or Manchester City in London, Mancini's Chelsea is not intimidating.

Whether it is looking at the points or the performance of the scene, Mancini is very confident.

But if you want to compare it with Sheffield United, Mancini is the first two big.

The league has only played thirteen rounds, a little over one-third of the season, but Sheffield United is already [-] points ahead of Chelsea!

Chelsea has only 27 points now, but Sheffield United is about to break the [-]-point mark!

Whoever faces such an oppressive opponent is beating his heart!

Not to mention losing, Sheffield United has played since the start of the new season, and it has also played its first draw with Leverkusen in the Champions League in the last round.

Sheffield United at home is even more suppressive, completely achieving the destruction on the scene!

To be honest, Mancini is under a lot of pressure!

Chelsea's young players are also under a lot of pressure.

Just by shouting slogans, everyone wants to be the first warrior to defeat the "dragon".

But when it comes time to meet face to face, the pressure of 100% public opinion and "anticipation" is really not something everyone can bear.

With this in mind, Mancini is also more prudent and brings as many old players as possible to the lineup.

On the day of the game, when the starting rosters of the two teams were released, Speed ​​also quickly saw Mancini's "caution".

When the game was about to start, General Fan, who was once again a guest in the Sina live broadcast room today, directly pointed out Mancini's psychological weakness.

"Torres, Essien, Ashley Cole, Lampard. Look at these names. Three or five years ago, they were all famous, very powerful, and gave Chelsea fans a sense of security, but now it will be 2014. It's been a year, and Mancini has made a bad move! Of course, Lampard is still very good. After the position is withdrawn, he and Toulalang or Ramirez's partner are not bad, but what Essien , Torres, can they start now? Do they have that strength? We need to recognize the reality! One or two veteran players will be enough, why do you play so many, oh, I think Mancini is really a little scared up"

General Fan kept shaking his head to criticize, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu naturally didn't dare to be "outspoken" like him, but they agreed with his complaints in their hearts.

Not to mention Lampard, whether playing as a defensive midfielder or a central midfielder, he is fairly stable, and it is also a relatively solid midfield starting point for Chelsea under Mancini.

But Essien and Ashley Cole have been on the bench for a long time.

Bertrand and Ramirez were stable starters before, but now Mancini made a sudden substitution before the big battle and chose to trust Essien and Ashley Cole, which is really incredible.

Torres can barely accept this.

After all, the little monster Lukaku has fallen into a scoring shortage recently, and Demba Ba was completely abandoned by Mancini, so Chelsea really have no better starting center candidates except Torres.

Among other things, if Lukaku can't score, it is indeed better to let Torres play as a fulcrum.

At least Torres still dares to fight in the middle, which can give Hazard and Mata their offensive space.

There is one more thing, that is, Torres is indeed a "Mr. Big Scene".

Considering these aspects, it makes sense for Mancini to use Torres at a critical moment.

"Let's see how Essien will perform at that time. After all, Ramirez will be on the bench. If it really doesn't work, Mancini can still make substitutions. There is always an alternative plan."

Zhan Jun laughed and reluctantly said a word for Mancini, and as the start time of the game approached, Zhang Lu also took over the conversation and introduced today's starting lineup of both sides.

With the last time that Speed ​​played Pochettino's change of formation, now the commentators are not sure about introducing what they think is a reasonable starting formation.

Director Zhang also added a prefix of "possible" before the introduction, and then relied on the "reliable" foreign news he got from the staff before the game to explain.

Along with the speculative starting lineup and player information that appeared in the live broadcast, the targeted arrangements of the two teams also appeared in the minds of countless fans.

"Chelsea played probably a four-two-three-one starting formation today.

Petr Cech is the starting goalkeeper.

The defense line from left to right is: Ashley Cole, Terry, Gary Cahill and Ivanovic.

The double defensive midfielder is Essien partnered with Toulalang, the central midfielder Lampard, the left and right midfielders are Hazard and Juan Mata.

Torres as lone striker.

Sheffield United and Chelsea should have the same [-] formation.

Sommer as the starting goalkeeper.

From left to right in defense: Felipe Luiz, Vertonghen, Maguire and Trippier.

The double defensive midfielder is still the familiar Matic Gadrinkwater, the central midfielder De Bruyne, and the left and right midfielders are Bell and Neymar.

Li Mo served as a lone striker. "

"It can be seen that Speed ​​also chose a more stable tactic and starting lineup. Today, Sheffield United and Chelsea will compete first in the midfield. It will depend on which midfielder controls the rhythm of the game first. gone."

As soon as Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun's alternate commentary fell, the live broadcast camera switched to the center of the court, where Li Mo and Bell, who had won the kick-off right, were already standing near the kick-off point on the center line.

With the referee's whistle, Li Mo gave the ball to Bell, and then he ran to Chelsea's half.

Drinkwater, who received Bell's pass, first took two steps horizontally with the ball, and then sent the first tentative long pass of the audience in the direction of Li Mo's advance!
Li Mo and Essien got entangled very quickly. During the confrontation, Li Mo still grabbed a point steadily and gave the football point to Neymar, who started up on the right wing.

As a result, Chelsea had already taken precautions. Under the attack of Ashley Cole and Lampard who retreated closer, Neymar finally had to stop the forward momentum and pass the ball back to Germany, who came to respond. Browne.

Looking at Ashley Cole, who seemed to be in good condition, Mancini nodded secretly.

Essien did not stop Li Mo's header ferry just now, and Mancini was not surprised by this result.

Even Essien in his peak form is known for his ground sweeps and superiority in confrontation. It is unrealistic for him to compete with big centers for the top.

As long as Essien can cooperate with Tulalang to build a solid interception line on the ground in this game, Mancini will be extremely satisfied.

As for working at heights, Chelsea can only make concessions to Li Mo near the middle circle, but in the 30-meter area, there are Terry and Cahill to deal with Li Mo.

Compared with last season's mediocre performance plagued by injuries, Terry returned healthy this season and performed very well.

As the only heavy central defender who can compete one-on-one with Li Mo in the Premier League, Terry's existence is also Mancini's biggest reliance.

Don't say anything about confrontation and mutual explosion.

The teams that dared to play like this with Sheffield United in the past were either stronger overall, such as Bayern Munich last season.

Either they really can't think of a move, and they have to do it as a last resort, such as Manchester City led by Mancini before, and the Red Devils Manchester United led by Ferguson in his old age.

Everyone has seen the final result, and this has become Mancini's most painful coaching lesson.

If you can't handle Li Mo on the defensive end, then definitely, definitely, don't play against Sheffield United!

The end of forced mutual explosion can only be a disastrous defeat for one's own side.

Because Sheffield United may be able to withstand the opponent's impact even though their defensive strength is greatly reduced.

But the other teams couldn't stand up to Li Mo's point-and-point attack when the defensive force was greatly reduced!
After Ferguson retired, he joked more than once that, given his peak Ferdinand + Vidic, he was sure to compete with Sheffield United for the league championship in the season of retirement.

These are not angry words of his reconciliation, but a fact that is very likely to come true.

Because Ferguson was able to hold back Li Mo's tyrannical explosion, and Speed's tactical training on the offensive end would lose most of its power!

And without this ace to play, Speed, although he is very talented in the construction of the defensive system, but he will never be able to lead the team to deal with him.

This is Ferguson's greatest recognition of Li Mo.

One person is a powerful offensive system, no exaggeration.

Li Mo deserves such affirmation, and even Speed ​​admitted it decisively in an interview with the media.

With Li Mo in the formation, the offensive system is easy to build.

And the reality is that the former superstar central defenders of the Premier League are aging and retiring one by one.

It is simply that fate is paving the way for Li Mo's smooth rise and domination.

Mancini has lamented his "good luck" many times recently.

After leaving Manchester City, he did not go to Tottenham or Everton, but came to Chelsea.

With Terry and Gary Cahill as two heavy-duty central defenders in his hands, he has a bottom line when facing Sheffield United.

Think about other Premier League coaches, how fucked it feels to face Sheffield United when they don't have this kind of central defender in their hands!

So after Ferguson, another Mancini who became a "sensible person" is also very pragmatic.

Let's defend honestly against Sheffield United. Let's take care of Li Mo first and then talk about other things.

If you have the opportunity to play anti-reverse, try to control the ball as much as possible if you don't have the opportunity, and never easily overwhelm the half court as a whole.

To put it bluntly, it is good luck to get a 0-0 result at home at Sheffield United!
Anyway, there are still points to get.

As for winning, you have to stabilize the halftime without conceding the ball before considering it.

Speed ​​never imagined that Mancini had already fully realized this state.

He will still be thinking about how to hook Chelsea's midfielder, and then use Li Mo's ability to play the ball to find opportunities from the two wings.

It turned out that I watched it for 10 minutes, okay, Chelsea was not fooled!
"Could it be that Mancini has transformed? Want to be a practical defensive coach?"

A strange idea appeared in Speed's mind.

However, when he thought of Chelsea's four-goal victory in the last game, he denied this idea again.

Mancini is a pragmatic head coach, but he is definitely not a purely defensive stealing chicken coach who likes to put on the bus.

On a pragmatic basis, Mancini prefers more control, smooth control, and a quick counterattack after gaining the dominance of control is his magic weapon.

It is said that the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. Speed ​​believes that it is impossible for Mancini to undergo such a drastic change in character and philosophy in a short period of time.

So the truth is very simple.

This guy is a sensible person!I already know what kind of targeted tactics will make Sheffield United play uncomfortable!
"Man Qiao, Man Qiao, you really don't play like a 'gentleman'. You are forcing me to make a choice."

Obviously it was the party being targeted and restricted, but the corner of Speed's mouth suddenly evoked a smile of great interest.

Instead of feeling depressed and annoyed, he was a little excited.

Such an opponent is decent!
After Ferguson announced his retirement, Speed ​​was actually not very happy.

Because in the entire Premier League, there is no opponent who understands his tactical system best and who can bring him the most challenge desire.

It's not that Wenger is bad, it's just that Mr. Wen has devoted all his life to his "contradictory and harmonious" beautiful football concept.

He can see through the flaws and vitals of Sheffield United's offensive system, but he also has his own persistence.

Arsenal's win can only be won by a gorgeous overall team. Isn't it a joke to let Arsenal put down their posture and give up their own right to take the initiative to attack!
If you ask Wenger to change his style and take a pragmatic approach to play tit-for-tat with Sheffield United, then it would be better for Mr. Wen to retire and go fishing with Ferguson.

Pochettino is very talented, but his coaching methods are still a bit immature, Moyes himself is difficult to protect, Rodgers and Pochettino have common minor problems, and it is difficult for these people to compete with Speed ​​in terms of tactics.

Originally, Speed ​​didn't have much "expectation" for Mancini.

After all, the two have played against each other too many times, and Speed ​​has won too many times.

Mancini's pragmatic style is very appetizing to him, but he was too hesitant in the on-the-spot training. Many times Sheffield United won because of Mancini's indecision.

It was this kind of neglect that surprised Speed ​​even more.

As long as the rhythm and tone of the game is set before the game, Mancini's tactical arrangement will naturally not disappoint.

And Chelsea really have the strength to make Sheffield United feel uncomfortable on the offensive end!
Because their central defenders can indeed make Li Mo's explosion look less "invincible".

After shrinking the line of defense, Bell didn't have much space on the wing and couldn't rush.

If Neymar can no longer break through the experienced Ashley Cole's marking, then Sheffield United's offense will indeed become more and more awkward.

However, this is destined to require Chelsea to give up control of the rhythm of the game and the offensive initiative to achieve the effect.

After all, if you don't pile up people in the backcourt to strengthen the defense, you will not achieve such an idealized effect at all, and you will not be able to rule out "accidents" that occur on the court as much as possible.

So for Speed, if Chelsea can really defend as firmly as Mancini envisioned, then he has to carefully weigh whether to attack and win the game.

Onslaught has opportunity, but also risks.

After Li Mo was stared down by Terry and Cahill, Sheffield United's offensive efficiency will naturally not be as efficient as usual, but there is a chance after all.

However, we must take into account Mancini's ability to train quick counterattacks and the personal abilities of two important wide players in the Chelsea team.

Hazard and Mata, plus Lampard's transition from defense to offense and a timely long pass, this is Chelsea's biggest killer in the counterattack!

Sheffield United's defense in the middle is very tough, but Chelsea's Torres in the middle acts as a fulcrum.

Walking on the wing, Hazard's personal ability no longer needs to be emphasized how powerful it is.

Trippier may be able to prevent most of Hazard's individual breakthroughs, but as long as he misses one, the Belgian boy can burst into the hinterland of Sheffield United.

Mata's strong breakthrough ability may not be as perverted as Hazard, but his organizational skills and threatening passing cannot be underestimated.

After careful consideration, Speed ​​also suppressed the idea of ​​taking a risk and attacking, and planned to observe for a while.

Mancini was also relieved to see that Speed ​​had not moved for a long time.

To encourage himself, Mancini stood on the sidelines and made encouraging gestures to the Chelsea players on the field.

In the opening ten minutes, Chelsea gave up control of the rhythm of the game, but in exchange for a solid backcourt defense.

Sheffield United fans can accept this situation, and so can Chelsea fans.

One side thinks that I have the rhythm advantage, and I can always find opportunities to score slowly, while the other side thinks that it is enough to hold on to the chances. After all, playing away games, it is also a skill to be able to keep the whole game without conceding the ball.

Therefore, under the harmonious atmosphere of the game, the two teams played until No. 30 minutes of the first half and did not choose to change.

However, several veteran issues mentioned by General Fan before the game were revealed.

Essien's strength was not as good as before, and he missed several interceptions, allowing Li Mo to go one-on-one with Terry and play a rather threatening forward attack.

The same goes for Ashley Cole.

Neymar is not afraid of playing skills with him. His defensive experience is too rich. At his peak, he was also the real Premier League and even the world's number one left back.

As long as he is fighting close to him, Neymar will have no problem no matter how good his skills are.

But when Neymar began to use his speed and physical strength to attack Ashley Cole's defense zone under the reminder of his teammates, he was powerless.

Every player has to live up to his old age, especially the players who play on the wing.

If the speed can't go up, then it can't go up. When Neymar was young, Neymar dared to play with Ashley Cole like this. Cole let Neymar know what cruelty is every minute.

But now Ashley Cole can only admit defeat with a wry smile. Before Mancini has changed, he can only do his best to limit Neymar's simple and direct performance.

Speed ​​also saw these two opportunities, and immediately began to adjust and increase the impact on Chelsea's entire left half of the defense.

However, Mancini did not make a mistake this time. When Ashley Cole took the initiative to signal that he could not stop Neymar and Trippier from attacking in turn, he decisively adopted a substitution.

And once he changes, he directly changes two!
"Ramirez and Bertrand are going to play! This is still rare in the game coached by Mancini, a very decisive substitution adjustment! Then Chelsea will strengthen the defense of the entire left midfield and left wing Protection, will Speed ​​follow suit and make targeted adjustments?"

Zhan Jun looked curiously at Speed, who was pointed at by the live broadcast camera. Judging from the past situation, Speed ​​will almost follow suit this time.

But Speed ​​didn't move this time.

Until the end of halftime, Speed ​​did not make any tactical adjustments.

And Sheffield United also entered the intermission with a score of 0-0 with Chelsea.

Chelsea fans are very excited and gratified.

How many times!
Sheffield United took the lead early in the first half no matter how many times they played against each other.

Although they adopted a very conservative tactic today and didn't make a few good counterattacks in the first half, they did hold on!

For a half-time draw at Sheffield United's home court, many neutral fans "celebrated" with Chelsea fans.

It is enough to see the pressure that Sheffield United is now putting on other Premier League clubs.

After the start of the second half of the game, Sheffield United also deliberately slowed down the rhythm of constant testing and attacking.

The two teams seemed to be in harmony and acquiesced to maintain such a score.

Many commentators and fans are very puzzled.

Sheffield United did not play very comfortably on the offensive end today, but they are still the dominant side, and they still have a lot of energy to continue their onslaught.

If Sheffield United let go of the game, then the vast majority of fans still believe that Sheffield United will win the final victory.

But Sheffield United chose to slow down the pace, with a look of "I can accept shaking hands with the opponent".

So the rhythm of the game was unexpectedly maintained until the last moment.

When the final whistle sounded, the thousands of Chelsea fans at the scene even felt a little unreal!

Did they really get away with it at Sheffield United? !

Did they actually get a point at Bramall Lane?Haven't been shaved?

When these fans were still dizzy feeling the joy of scoring a point against Sheffield United, Speed ​​had already taken the initiative to walk over to Mancini.

The two shook hands and hugged, and then they chatted with each other with tacit smiles.

In the end, Speed ​​patted Mancini's arm and said something else, but Mancini laughed twice. Both of them seemed satisfied, and then said goodbye harmoniously.

The reporters at the scene scratched their hearts like cats, and couldn't wait to know the reason why Speed ​​chose a conservative tactic in the middle of today's game.

But obviously, neither Speed ​​nor Mancini will disclose their tactical game and final choice.

This is actually a simple choice of interests.

Chelsea can't threaten Sheffield United's strong lead in the league this season, and they only came for one point. After No. 60 minutes in the second half, they still maintained a defensive posture. The "no threat" in it means very Obvious.

As for Sheffield United, they have not failed, and the draw with Chelsea is embarrassing and shouldn't it?

Between risky winning and a safe draw, Speed ​​just chose a more secure way.

Besides, a tie in the tight schedule will save the main players energy consumption, which is a very good deal.

Generally speaking, both teams can accept such a result. At the press conference after the game, the two head coaches also touted each other, which was a nice thing to say.

After "accidentally" achieving a draw in the league, the attention surrounding Sheffield United seems to have dropped by two gears.

It is also rare for Sheffield United to prepare for the next round of the league quietly.

On the afternoon of December 12th, Tottenham and Sheffield United started the No. 7 round of the Premier League focus match at the Bramall Lane Stadium.

I don't know if it was because Chelsea won a draw in the last game that gave Boas an illusion. He also put on a defensive posture at the beginning of the game, and Speed ​​couldn't laugh or cry.

Chelsea dared to play like this because the central defender combination is really strong enough, and the counterattack is indeed threatening, and they have this capital.

Why do you want Tottenham? ? ?

With a declining Dawson and Alderweireld who is still growing?
Or do you mean that Boas thinks that Shazli and Nasri can threaten Sheffield United's solid defense?

There is no need to do multiple-choice questions anymore. Facing Tottenham's imitation show, Sheffield United chose the most direct style of play.

"Let Li do it for me! I rejected his request in the last game, but this time he opened up his game!"

Speed ​​gave the order, and Li Mo, who had barely exerted himself in the previous game, also had a chance to vent his depression.

When he gained almost all of the team's tactical resources, a crushing asymmetrical battle kicked off a bloody curtain.

Alderweireld is still very young, far from reaching the peak of a central defender's career, and his partner Dawson has also suffered a serious decline in strength due to injuries, and his confrontation ability is far worse than before.

Li Mo doesn't know how many times he has encountered such a combination of central defenders.

Besides, Alderweireld is an excellent modern central defender, but he has nothing to do with heavy central defenders.

and so.

Tottenham's two starting central defenders were unsurprisingly defeated by Li Mo!
Li Mo, who played his best, is a brutal and tyrannical beast, messing up Tottenham's defensive hinterland!

The failure to perform in the last game was entirely due to Speed's consideration and choice.

From the perspective of the entire season, Speed's choice has his reasons, but the players are somewhat depressed.

So in this game, not only did Li Mo let go of the kick, but the other players showed their best form to beat Tottenham as if venting!

When the final score was fixed at 5-1, the bloody number of goals made the Tottenham fans want to cry.

Boas shook hands with Speed ​​with a livid face and left in a hurry.

The Tottenham players also drooped their heads and followed the head coach's footsteps and quickly returned to the locker room.

Two goals and two assists, this is Li Mo's all-around data in this game.

Both Bell and Neymar made contributions with passing shots. De Bruyne finally succeeded in making up the knife, but lost a goal, which made this big victory look not so happy.

But only the players of Sheffield United have such an idea. If they let the media know, it will cause another uproar.

The merciless slaughter made Tottenham fans generally resent Sheffield United.

After all, there was an example of Chelsea before, also from London, Sheffield United's "different treatment" made them really aggrieved and angry.

But Sheffield United doesn't care.

If you want to blame, you can only blame Tottenham for hitting the gunpoint, and they came to learn from Chelsea without studying the tactics thoroughly.

Here, Li Mo is annoyed because he didn't perform well when he played against Chelsea. You, Tottenham, caught up with the gun. Who is unlucky if you are not unlucky?

Fortunately, the last round of the Champions League group stage followed one after another, and the news that Tottenham was kicked by Sheffield United gradually became less popular.

In Group F, Dortmund and Naples fought fiercely and reached the final stage. Arsenal topped the list with [-] points, and it seems that they have been stably broken out of the death group.

And another death group, Group A, also ushered in the final judgment day.

Juventus head to the Bramall Lane Stadium, about to seize their own fate.

Leverkusen, on the other hand, went to the home court of Real Sociedad with a machete, vowing to make a final fight.

At this most critical moment, the media in Germany and Italy all looked at Sheffield one after another.

The decision made by Sheffield United in the final round of the Champions League group stage will determine the final fate of the two teams!
