opening a balotelli

Before the second round of the League Cup semi-finals started, many Manchester United fans actually lowered their proud heads, saying that it is better to give up the League Cup to save the players' physical fitness.

Well, after being beaten 4-0 in the first round, the second round really doesn't seem to make much sense.

And with the argument of preserving players' physical fitness to fight for the league, Manchester United fans feel that they still have some face.

Moyes also had to face the grim reality after he let out a bad breath in the formation of the last round of the League Cup.

Give up the League Cup, then during the [-]-day league break, his main players can rest assured to recover their physical fitness.

Because they were eliminated by Swansea in the third round of the FA Cup on January 1, it can be said that they have completely lost the burden of the two domestic cup competitions.

And fighting Sheffield United in the second round is nothing more than "standing up and dying" as some fans say, just to save a little face.

But the question is, does Manchester United still have face to speak of this season?
The results were already bad, the Manchester Derby was badly lost, and the match against Sheffield United was even worse.

With such a record, even talking about saving face is no different from telling a joke.

The most important thing for Manchester United at present is to reach the top four in the league and ensure their qualification for the Champions League next season.

The second is to try to go as far as possible in this season's Champions League. Even if the odds of winning against Manchester City are very low, as long as they make it through, Moyes' position will be as stable as Mount Tai.

At least Moyes himself thinks so.

Leading the team to the top four in the league and reaching the quarterfinals in the Champions League, you can't fire him anyway, right?

On the premise of still having a lot of hope, Moyes finally decided to give up the League Cup directly.

A group of young players from youth training was recruited, and the players in the rotation were brought in. Moyes did not bring a main force, so he came to Sheffield alone.

This behavior can be considered very magnanimous, so I almost told Speed ​​directly face to face:

"I'm lying flat, if you think it's cool to vent your anger on a group of children and substitutes, then you can kick it with all your might!"

After Speed ​​got Manchester United's starting list, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Moyes wants to give him some hints in advance, he will not take Li Mo anymore.

Pure rotation, oh no, he also has the entire youth training plus rotation lineup, how good it is to finish this League Cup tacitly.

Manchester United is doing badly and comfortably, and they have to play the fourth round of the FA Cup after today at Sheffield United.

It was definitely too late to make a temporary substitution, so Speed ​​could only replace Li Mo 20 minutes after the start of the game.

Li Mo just played soy sauce on the stage, and such a wonderful substitution can be regarded as providing tomorrow's news materials for the present media reporters.

The young people of the Manchester United team are still working very hard, they are full of energy, and they are also active in running on the field.

However, due to the slight lack of confrontation and technology, how can it be the opponent of a group of old fritters on the Sheffield United side.

In the end, with the goals of Dirk Dirk and Joaquin, Sheffield United won Manchester United at home and entered the League Cup final with a total score of 6-0.

The next day, Manchester City and Chelsea also decided the outcome. Chelsea made a desperate fight at home and finally defeated Manchester City 2-1.

It's a pity that they dug too much hole in the first round. They still lost to Manchester City 2-3 on aggregate and were eliminated.

After the final opponents were clarified, Sheffield United and Manchester City also started their respective final preparations ahead of schedule.

This year's League Cup final will start on the afternoon of March 3, and there is still plenty of time.

After watching the final match of the League Cup semi-finals, the fans of the Premier League were also attracted to the upcoming fourth round of the FA Cup.

After this round of competition, this year's FA Cup round of sixteen will be freshly released.

In addition to Manchester United, which was knocked out before, there are quite a few Premier League teams still in the FA Cup.

Moreover, there are not many direct matches between the Premier League teams in this round. Sheffield United is luckier, and they are facing the English Championship team Charlton.

Speaking of this team, many old Premier League fans in Huaguo may be familiar with it.

When Li Mo was in the Sheffield United youth training camp, he went to Charlton's home court to watch their games.

Because at that time, there was a Huaguo player in Charlton's team who was the main starter of Iron Fight, and that player was Zheng Zhi.

Li Mo mentioned this interesting incident more than once in interviews with domestic reporters.

It is a pity to say.

If Zheng Zhi had not undergone that foot surgery back then, Charlton might not have been relegated in the 08-09 season.

In that case, Li Mo will be able to compete with Zheng Zhi when he made his debut in the 10-11 season. How many Huaguo fans are looking forward to seeing such a scene again.

It's a pity that the front and rear feet of the two are staggered. One had to leave due to injury and team relegation just after becoming famous in the British Championship, and the other was too young to make his debut.

However, the successful cooperation between the latter two in the national team can be regarded as fulfilling the dreams of old domestic Premier League fans.

Facing Charlton, Li Mo has a sense of intimacy, but this does not prevent him from sending Charlton away with his own hands.

On the afternoon of January 1th, Sheffield United defeated Charlton 25-5 at home. Li Mo scored twice in the first half, ending the suspense of the game early.

Charlton tried to counterattack with the bus, but after Li Mo forcibly blocked the header and scored, how the game develops is up to them.

After Speed ​​appointed a rotation player to play two consecutive games in the cup, a large number of Sheffield United's main players also slowed down from the devil's schedule.

Berbatov and Joaquin, a group of rotation veterans, started to rest, while Bell, Neymar and others actively devoted themselves to the preparation training for the next round of the league.

In the short rest period before the devil's schedule, Li Mo also attended the FIFA's annual awards ceremony.

There is actually not much suspense in this year's Pork Sharing Conference.

Thanks to Li Mo's personal data explosion and the butterfly effect, the Golden Globe voting has not been postponed.

In the end, Franck Ribery was elected Mr. Ballon d'Or in 2013 with a high number of votes. Even though the margin ahead of Li Mo and Ronaldo was not too large, he deserved the award.

Allianz King burst into tears the moment he won the Ballon d'Or.

This is the best compliment to him and to Bayern in the past successful season. He deserves this Golden Globe Award!
Li Mo and Ronaldo sat together and applauded Ribery who was crying.

Ronaldo's eyes were obviously unwilling, but when he thought of Li Mo sitting next to him, he felt somewhat relieved.

Last season, Li Mo beat him and Messi in terms of personal data and club honors. If Ribery doesn't win the Ballon d'Or, no matter how you look at it, Li Mo, who has exploded personal data, will "take over" .

Either he and Messi's personal statistics are poor, or the club's honor is lacking. If you just look at the individual performance last season, they are indeed not Li Mo's opponents.

Messi, who was sitting on the other side, didn't have much thought about this year's Ballon d'Or.

He didn't even make the top three. The second is Li Mo, who won a large number of votes in Asia and South America, and the third is Ronaldo, who had an explosive performance in the World Preliminary play-offs.

To say that he is not reconciled, Li Mo should be the most unwilling one.

Personal data has formed a crush, just because there is less of a Champions League trophy that is more about collective performance, so I can only watch Ribery win the Ballon d'Or, who can I ask for reason?

However, Li Mo, who both Melo and Melo thought would be very unwilling, gave Ribery a very sincere applause.

In fact, Li Mo was quite surprised to be ranked second in the Golden Globe Awards. To win the Golden Globe Award was something he had never thought of.

In his view, there is nothing wrong with awarding the Ballon d'Or to the core players of the most successful club last season.

Franck Ribery and Bayern are worthy of this Golden Globe Award. He has no objections and has strengthened his fighting spirit.

If you want to become the number one, then you can defeat the opponents in various leagues with a core identity, and win the championship trophy of the heavyweight competition of the Champions League!

In addition, either win the World Cup in the World Cup year, or win the Intercontinental Championship and enough league championships in the Intercontinental Championship year, and participate in these tournaments as the main core.

Otherwise, blow a few!
If you really want to come up with a double-standard judging standard that compares team honors with personal data, and personal data with team honors, then it doesn't matter if you don't receive the Golden Globe Award!

Li Mo is such a stubborn temper.

Of course, the judging of this year's Golden Globe Awards is still reasonable, and Li Mo has no opinion at all.

But if he encounters unfair treatment in the future, he will definitely be the first to stand up and turn the table.

Want him to be the dog of traffic and public opinion?That is absolutely impossible.

He will only use a more powerful performance on the field to make traffic kneel down!
Got the second place in the Golden Globe Award, once again selected into the FIFA Team of the Year, Li Mo can be regarded as a rewarding experience.

Sheffield United made a big celebration and publicity, and the Premier League officials also followed the platform. The fans of other Premier League teams were envious and jealous.

Mendes was also overjoyed, and a large amount of commercial endorsements and cooperation contract renewals fell in front of him one after another.

That is to say, Li Mo firmly disagreed, otherwise Mendes would have used his identity as "Mr. Silver Ball" to build momentum for Li Mo.

Of course, there is no need to say much in Huaguo, except for Li Mo's second Golden Globe award, it is the unified promotion of all platforms.

Not to mention the news media in various places, the old acquaintance Wutai has been reporting Li Mo's news for several days.

The official media praised it on the platform, and the hot searches on platforms of all sizes ranked first for several days in a row.

In the eyes of Li Mo's parents, Guangzong Yaozu is nothing more than that!
After the awards ceremony ended, the popularity rose again, and the prestige rose again, followed by the increasingly meticulous and perverted attention from the outside world.

Li Mo has long been mentally prepared for this, not to say that he rejects it, but he is somewhat helpless.

Fortunately, the major leagues are now in full swing, and the collision and competition of various powerhouses has quickly attracted the attention of fans with excess energy.

On the evening of January 1th, Sheffield United ushered in the challenge of Stoke City at home.

Today's Sky City is ushering in a good transformation, but the unbeaten record in the last three league games also makes the media's praise not so convincing.

Looking at the scene alone, Stoke City's performance is not bad, and the 3-4 battle with Liverpool showed their subtle changes in the offensive end.

But to lose is to lose. After this vigorous battle, the players of Stoke City were obviously very depressed.

They lost to Crystal Palace 0-1 in the last round of the league. Even though Stoke City was completely beating Crystal Palace during the game, the status quo of gaining momentum and not scoring is also a problem that Stoke City urgently needs to solve further.

At such a critical turning point, Stoke City was very unlucky to meet Sheffield United again.

Mark Hughes also felt very helpless, his players were in desperate need of confidence, well, they met the big devil of the league.

Mark Hughes, who had no reason to say, assumed a very pragmatic defensive posture.

But at Bramall Lane Stadium, Sheffield United was never afraid of the opponent's bus, and Stoke City did not have a counterattack point that could threaten the Sheffield United defense.

Therefore, from the beginning of the game, all the fans at the scene focused on the contest between Li Mo and Stoke City's double central defenders.

How to open the "tin can" of Stoke City naturally depends on whether Li Mo's exclusive "machete" of Sheffield United is sharp enough today.

Bale and Neymar constantly put pressure on Stoke City's defensive players on the two wings, which gave Li Mo a lot of opportunities to compete face to face with Stoke City's double central defenders.

Shawcross and Mark Wilson are still strong, and they are not weaker than in the past few seasons in frontal confrontation, but Li Mo has evolved too fast!
Two seasons ago, it wasn't a problem for the two of them to double-team Li Mo. At that time, Li Mo had to find a way to fight with them one-on-one, so that he would have a greater advantage in scoring goals.

But now Li Mo's playing style is more direct. If you double-team me, I have to fight hard to attack with the ball or grab some shots!

Even if you are double-teamed and can't shoot a threatening shot, as long as I force you two not to help other Stoke City players to help defend, my teammates will be able to get shots more easily.

Such an outrageous and unreasonable way of playing really doubled the pressure on Shawcross and Wilson.

Neither being able to support the other teammates on the defensive line, but also always worrying that Li Mo will find an opportunity if his side can't withstand the pressure, the entire defensive system will be cut apart invisibly.

With the center tightened and the midfielder filling the sides, the space at the top of the arc in Stoke City's penalty area became more and more obvious.

In the No.204 minute of the first half, De Bruyne, who suddenly dribbled forward, attracted the attention of two defensive players in Stoke City.

And after he pulled the side and knocked the ball horizontally in time, Matic, who was almost unmarked in the arc top area of ​​the penalty area, shot angrily!

Xiao Ma's long-range shot is quite eloquent. The ball he draws out is very fast, powerful, and the distance is also suitable.

Begovic made a save immediately, but the football did not pop out of the goal frame after hitting his hands, and finally plunged into the net behind him!

Begovic also felt strange after losing the ball.

Depressed is depressed, but there are not many thoughts of anger.

After all, he is already a player of Sheffield United now. It is always weird to think of it being scored by his "teammates".
After breaking the deadlock, Sheffield United quickly controlled the rhythm of the game on the field.

The effect of Li Mo's hard chisel was extremely prominent. After Stoke City had no choice but to launch a formation to try to attack, Li Mo gained more and more opportunities to counterattack and advance.

In the No.308 minute of the game, in 6 minutes, Li Mo and his teammates got connected and succeeded in two counterattacks, rewriting the score to 3-0!

Li Mo, who scored twice, once again staged a passionate kneeling celebration at home.

And Sheffield United also continued to stride forward on the road of winning streak.
