Chapter 410 There will never be an opponent like 13 Bayern



Chapter 410 There will never be an opponent like 13 Bayern
Since Li Mo broke the Premier League scoring record in a single season, his growth can be described as a one-year jump.

In the third year of the Premier League, his fame has already caught up with Melo, and even this season has become the "football No. 1" in terms of popularity and topicality.

But among the voices of approval in the blockbuster, doubts will never be absent.

In addition to not having enough championships and not playing enough games, one of Li Mo's most questioned points is that he has no record of winning head-to-head against Melo.

This is actually a very funny topic.

Because football is not a one-person sport, no matter how individual heroism is, players must rely on a strong team to perform amazingly.

If you let two of the top three strikers in today's football, in one or two games, rely on the quality of personal data with many uncertain factors to "determine the outcome", isn't that just nonsense? .

In professional football, or in other words, team sports, the winner is king. If Li Mo wins the statistics but loses the game, then Messi's fans will still be able to output as much as they can.

The opposite is true.

However, fans like to discuss this kind of topic. Comparing the same era is not enough, and sometimes two strikers from different eras have to be compared together forcibly, and they never get tired of it.

It can only be said that UEFA is full of traffic again this time. No matter who is out of Li Mo or Messi among the eight players, the remaining ones will always have the next "destined opponent".

As long as one of Real Madrid and Bayern enters the semi-finals, the winner between Sheffield United and Barcelona has a high probability of drawing one of them, and the topic can still be full.

Think about it, if Sheffield United beats Barcelona and meets Real Madrid in the semi-finals, it will be a fight with Messi first, and then with Ronaldo.

If you are a melon fan, do you like to watch this kind of game?

The answer is obvious.

If you have a black belly to speculate, UEFA can be regarded as creating momentum for Li Mo.

The difficulty of promotion is great, but as long as Li Mo and Sheffield United fight their way to the end, there is no doubt about the gold content of this championship.

As a result, the football market in Huaguo and East Asia will grow and expand explosively. Uefa will take advantage of this shareholder wind and will further eat a bigger and sweeter cake in the big Asian market.

As long as Li Mo has this strength, and he can win the championship even against the two of Melo, the price-performance ratio for him will be so high that it will explode.

In the past two seasons of the Premier League, the income from broadcasting in Asia has increased significantly. UEFA's top management is lying if they say they are not interested.

The UEFA Champions League is already very popular all over the world, but no one is going to struggle with more money,

The Premier League can rely on Li Mo to rampage in the East Asian market, setting new highs in overseas broadcast ratings.

Of course, the Champions League can also follow suit.

So this wave of momentum and push is easy to understand.

The stage is set for you, all the attention will be drawn to you, and the opponent will pick the strongest and most topical ones. The rest depends on whether you have the ability and ambition to complete the road to the throne!
The management of Sheffield United has gradually understood the meaning of UEFA.

At least on the night when the lottery ceremony ended, Wang Mu was a little upset at first, but the more he thought about it later, the more he felt that his ideas were clear.

What are the bigwigs in China throwing money at Sheffield United all these years?
Name!

What is needed is international popularity and the expansion of overseas market share.

As Sheffield United won three championships in one go in the spring and summer of last year, it can be said that the early investment of the big guys has been worth half.

The remaining half is all in the Champions League.

Whether Sheffield United can become a giant is very important to the domestic bigwigs.

And on the road to at least one Champions League title laying the foundation for the giants.

How to win simply, how to win strong, and how to win so that everyone will be convinced are more important things.

So Wang Mu has a clear idea.

Risks have always coexisted with opportunities.

Sheffield United is at a much greater risk of being eliminated early by UEFA, but if they can beat Barcelona first and then Real Madrid Bayern, the sensational effect will be unmatched by other weak teams.

He was excited and hesitated for a few days, and finally asked Speed ​​for an afternoon tea in late March.

We talked about some unnutritious topics first, and then strongly affirmed Speed's recent coaching achievements. At the end of the final parting, Wang Mu asked the core question.

"The next round of the Champions League knockout round, is our preparation progressing smoothly? Is there any tactical data that the coaching staff needs to collect urgently? As long as you think it is necessary, the club will definitely mobilize 100% of its resources to cooperate!"

Huaguo's style of leadership interfering with work just likes to turn corners, and Speed ​​is now used to it.

The handsome old man gulped down the unfinished coffee with a smile, and finally gave Wang Mu a satisfactory answer.

"We are at least [-]% sure to enter the semi-finals. The coaching staff has enough confidence. If you can approve more championship bonuses from above, then I think the players will have full confidence in the locker room." Get over Barcelona, ​​sir, our lads are trustworthy."

After Speed ​​left, Wang Mu sat in the office and stroked the coffee cup. After a long while, he stood up and said with a smile:
"Mediocrity, mediocrity."

Speed ​​does not know whether Wang Mu has improved his confidence in winning the championship because of this conversation.

But he really wasn't lying.

In the Sheffield United team, with the recent progress of the league, the coaching staff and the players have a strong belief in winning against Barcelona.

They started to do targeted tactical drills early on, replaying those classic Champions League matches in recent seasons.

For example, the UEFA Champions League semi-final in 12, the two rounds between Chelsea and Barcelona, ​​and another example, the semi-final in 10, the first leg between Inter Milan and Barcelona.

The performance of the players, the construction of the defensive system, the targeted arrangements of Mourinho, including the on-the-spot responses of the coaches on both sides.

There are many tactical matters to be aware of, and fortunately, in terms of tactical style, Sheffield United has no reason to be afraid of Barcelona.

Besides, the current Barcelona is no longer the super team in the 10-11 season.

Messi is still terrible, and Habaibu's midfield foundation is also very solid, pushing Barcelona to continue to advance steadily in La Liga and the Champions League.

But in this season that is gradually coming to an end, any fan can see that Barcelona's "Dream Three" has inevitably gone downhill.

Mourinho's success in playing Barcelona's dream two dreams and three teams in the past also provided Speed ​​with too many tactical ideas for reference.

At least in Speed's view, this Barcelona team is very strong, but it is far inferior to the Super Bayern that impressed Sheffield United and him last season.

In other words, what makes Speed ​​feel regretful now is that his team may never have an opponent like Bayern Munich in the 12-13 season.
In terms of preparation mentality, Sheffield United is positive and full of confidence.

Before the game against Barcelona, ​​their good game state has been well reflected in the league.

Be ruthless and be steady.

There are not only the fierce rush to beat the middle and lower reaches of the team, but also the "hypnosis battle" where the fences are tightly guarded and the Premier League's powerful players are miserable.

This is actually Sheffield United doing a tactical preview for the Champions League battle with Barcelona in advance.

Facts have also proved that Sheffield United's tactical drills have received very good results.

After harvesting a wave of points and finishing the league match on March 3, Sheffield United officially entered the final stage of preparation for the Champions League.

At this time, no fans will care about how many rounds the leader of a certain league has the possibility of winning the championship in advance, or how many strong dialogue games there will be in the next round of the five major leagues.

When the quarter-finals of the Champions League are approaching, all professional leagues can only make way for it.

In the next week, the popularity of football, the degree of topicality, and the focus of discussion will all revolve around the Champions League.

The focus of the entire football world is on the four upcoming Champions League games on April 4 and 1.

Sheffield United and Barcelona will play on the night of April 4.

As the final battle of this round of the Champions League, it is also the well-deserved focus of this round of the Champions League that attracts the attention of fans.

On the afternoon of April 4st, the Sheffield United team arrived in Barcelona.

In the hotel where they stayed that night, all the Sheffield United players watched the intense first two Champions League quarter-final first-leg matches.

Because Manchester City and Chelsea are both representing the Premier League in tonight's game.

Manchester City lost 1-2 to Bayern Munich in the away game, but scored an away goal, and the hope of qualifying for the second leg is still not small.

Chelsea lost 0-1 to Atletico Madrid at home, and was unlucky to be scored by Atletico Madrid with a corner kick before the end.

The two games were very intense. Although there were not many goals, the technical and tactical competition between the players and the coach was much more exciting than the previous knockout round.

The actual situation of the game's conservative offense and heavy defense also increased Sheffield United's confidence in their own tactics.

Now that the Champions League has reached the top four, every team does not want to make mistakes easily, so the first round of the contest will naturally focus more on control and defense.

This shows that the tactical predictions and pre-match preparations of the Sheffield United coaching staff have at least grasped the general direction of the game.

Forcibly calming down the mood swings after watching the game, the Sheffield United team went to bed early and rested. After getting enough sleep or even full sleep, Shi Shiran got up and assembled the next day.

The Spaniard generously provided Sheffield United with a training venue, allowing Sheffield United to complete the last practice before the game comfortably.

That night, when the night fell, the Sheffield United team had already arrived at the Nou Camp ahead of schedule.

Countless Barcelona fans and Sheffield United fans who traveled with the team also lined up outside the stadium.

When the players of the two teams came out to warm up, the scene was already full of seats, which gave the Sheffield United players a little "Europe's largest professional stadium" level of shock.

Almost 10 people!

While it is bigger than Wembley, there are more "enemies" in this stadium.

As soon as the boos came out, it was several times larger than usual.

The Sheffield United club only got a total of [-] away tickets from Barcelona this time.

Even with the tickets that fans spontaneously increased in price, the number of Sheffield United fans present did not exceed 5000, which is naturally far inferior to Barcelona in terms of momentum.

But playing away, as always.

Although in Li Mo's memory, the powerful fans of Frankfurt have done the awesome thing of "changing customers first".

But the current Barcelona club executives are not as outrageous as they were later, and naturally they will not let such a weird thing happen on the stage of the Champions League quarter-finals.

After a full warm-up, the players of the two teams returned to their respective locker rooms to make final preparations and mobilization. The commentators from various countries also took advantage of the time before the start of the game to introduce the starting lineups of both teams.

Barcelona chose to let Pedro stand by today, Messi as the center, Iniesta and Sanchez on both sides of him.

In terms of midfield organization, Harvey is the main player, Fabregas is the auxiliary, and Busquets is still unshakable in the starting kick and dragging the midfielder.

On the back line, lined up from left to right, Barcelona's starters are:
Alba, Mascherano, Pique and Alves.

Starting goalkeeper Pinto.

Sheffield United formed a four-two-three formation with a balanced offense and defense.

Neymar and Bell moved back to both sides of the midfield today, and Medel once again replaced De Bruyne as a central midfielder.

Matic and Drinkwater joined hands to serve as double midfielders.

In the back line and goalkeeper position, except for Stones who replaced Vertonghen in the starting game, the rest of the starting players are the same as in the usual league.

During the short but slightly long wait, the players of the two teams followed the footsteps of the referee out of the player channel and began to play one after another.

The playing of the Champions League theme song also fully mobilized the excitement of countless fans in front of the TV.

Li Mo winked at Messi in the handshake session, Messi was taken aback for a moment, but then he lowered his head and smiled.

The two who faced each other for the first time on the field did not seem to have any tit-for-tat eye contact, but interacted very friendly.

This disappointed many fans who wished that the two would directly hate each other to the point of fighting.

And when Li Mo finished all the pre-match ceremonies and stood on the kick-off point, he was still feeling emotional.

"Gold mine without a beard, no, Boss Mei is really handsome."

But at the moment when the game started, Li Mo cleared all nonsensical thoughts in his mind in an instant.

After he kicked the ball to Neymar, he quickly went forward and went straight to Barcelona's big penalty area.

Drinkwater, who received the ball in the midfield, dribbled the ball directly to Matic on the side after dribbling, allowing Messi to press.

And Matic looked up for a while to observe, and then shot the ball directly with a big foot.

Amidst the loud boos of the Barcelona fans, the football quickly passed over the midfield and flew straight to Li Mo's forward direction.

At this moment, Li Mo, who had already fully increased his speed, almost ignored the interference of Busquets' small movements, and after adjusting his step point, he jumped with all his strength to compete for the top!
Pique didn't dare to be careless, and chose to flank Busquets directly.

In terms of high-altitude balls, he is one of the best defenders in today's football.

But in a preemptive collision of muscles, Pique deeply felt the pain of the Premier League defenders.

Busquets was even "flicked" away by Li Mo!
One-on-two, even if facing Pique, the famous main Spanish central defender, Li Mo still achieved absolute high-altitude dominance!
A header aimed at the top of the ferry made the Barcelona fans almost go into cardiac arrest just after booing!
Because Bell inserted too fast and too decisively, he almost appeared on the left side of the big penalty area where the Barcelona defense line was vacant!
After even stopping and making another quick adjustment, Alves couldn't even do the movement of Labelle's jersey!

The 38-year-old goalkeeper Pinto gave up protecting the goal immediately, but Bell only adjusted one step and completed a decisive shot!
His signature volley!

"Hey, it's a high ball! Today Sheffield United will play the actual game, let's see. The ball went over, Bell! Bell shot--!!!"

Zhang Lu was looking for a sip of tea, but when he saw the live broadcast, Bale had already shot the ball into Barcelona's goal! ! !

In an instant, the whole world seemed to be quiet, only Bell, who was running wildly at the bottom line, and Li Mo, who was grinning, were still changing their positions in this stagnant picture!
12.3 seconds!
In just 12.3 seconds of the opening, Sheffield United scored a fantastic goal!

Barcelona's defensive players were dumbfounded. Messi stood in the frontcourt, his eyes widened, and he looked very puzzled.

Speed ​​was stunned off the field for a moment, but then he did not celebrate in surprise, but flashed through his mind the various images of playing the quarter-finals with Bayern last year.

He pursed his lips, and after confirming the score change again, he subconsciously shook his head.

"There will never be another quarter-final opponent like Bayern last year."

 The ending has been modified a bit, brothers who ordered first can refresh and rewatch
