opening a balotelli

Really—the ass is still hot!

This is true for both home fans and away fans.

The [-] fans at the scene either just finished cheering for the start of the game, or just finished booing the opponent's players, and were about to sit down for a break, but Sheffield United scored a goal? !

And when the noise and cheers were intertwined on the scene, and the noise swept the entire Camp Nou stadium, the commentators from various countries also got a set of exact records from the busy staff:

The fastest goal in the history of the Champions League appeared in the quarter-finals of the Champions League between Bayern and Real Madrid in the 06-07 season.

At that time, only 10.2 seconds into the game, Bayern Munich striker Roy Makaay received a cross pass from his teammate and blitzed the goal, directly beating Real Madrid.

That game also ended in Bayern's ultimate victory.

Zhan Jun was so impressed with that goal that he didn't need the backstage staff to hand over the manuscript at the moment, he just blurted out a comparison between the blitz goal back then and Sheffield United's opening goal today.

Don't ask why Zhan Jun reacted so quickly.

The question is that he and Chen Xirong witnessed the birth of the fastest goal in the history of the Champions League in the studio!

"12.3 seconds! 12.3 seconds! Sheffield United scored their first goal of the game in just 12.3 seconds!!! God Alves was too high, when all Barcelona defended When the players' attention was basically on Li Mo, Bale's resolute advance was too fatal! This is the third fastest goal in the history of the Champions League! Sheffield United also won their quarterfinals The first away goal, a fantastic start!"

After being unbelievably surprised, Zhan Jun became excited and excited.

Such a blitz to score the goal, the psychological blow to the Barcelona players is destined to be not small, and what is Sheffield United best at?
The mentality of fighting anti-anti and engaging opponents!

Managers across the Premier League have spent the past two seasons racking their brains over how to defend Sheffield United's first goal.

Because as long as Sheffield United advances the ball, Speed ​​will basically let the midfielder quickly control the rhythm of the field.

When you press out to attack, Sheffield United will shrink their formation and play crazy running and pressing defense with you. Once the ball is stolen, they will directly counterattack quickly.

If you don't attack, then Sheffield United will be more comfortable, grinding you and making you die slowly!
Because of the club culture or the pressure of public opinion from fans, other strong teams can't bear to play games like this. Offensive football is always the main theme.

But Sheffield United is very satisfied with Speed ​​from the top management to the fans. The top management is willing to delegate power, and the fans firmly support it.

In addition, the core players are basically his direct descendants, so Speed's tactical ideas have always been thoroughly implemented.

Strong and pragmatic, the players can lose their own aura and return to defense with all their might.

This kind of wonderful European top team is completely the only one in today's world football, and you can never pick another one.

Atletico Madrid can only say that there are some shadows of Sheffield United. They can slightly narrow the gap with Sheffield United on the defensive end, but they are too far behind Sheffield United on the offensive end.

The commentator on the Spanish side is still calling on Barcelona players and coach Martino to keep calm in a self-consoling manner.

And in the studio of Sky Sports England, Irving and Alan Shearer, who served as special guests today, have jumped up from their seats with a roar of passion!

"I bet! I bet 100%! Not only will Sheffield United win this game, but they will also score enough away goals to destroy the suspense of the second round!"

Alan Shearer raised his arms and shouted, and couldn't wait to say the "promotion declaration" in advance!
Well, his commentary is not neutral and objective at all, with a strong emotional bias.

But he was not a professional commentator, he was invited by Sky Sports to work today.

Sheffield United's opening blitz made almost all England fans watching the game feel a great surprise.

At this time, the whole job was just right, and Alan Shearer almost expressed the aspirations of all Sheffield United fans.

Less than 1 minute into the game, it successfully entered the "Sheffield United time", which really made the fans feel confident or not!
However, the fans can swell and open the champagne in advance, but the Sheffield United players need to keep calm as much as possible under the ecstasy.

Otherwise, if Barcelona finds an opportunity to quickly equalize the score as soon as it swells later, the mentality of the two teams will have a two-level reversal.

"Listen to me, listen to me guys! Enough, enough, when we're done celebrating, this goal is over, forget about it! The only thing we need to remember is that there are nine and ten minutes left in the game, don't Relax our nerves and brains, calm down, calm down, and follow the tactical plan arranged before the old game, does anyone have any questions? Does anyone not know what we should do next?"

Li Mo took a deep breath and forced himself to get out of the ecstasy first, then dragged Drinkwater and Maguire who were still celebrating, let them stand beside him, and then shouted loudly to make his teammates quiet down .

Li Mo's voice made Xie Fei Lianzhong, who was already on the top of the cloud, tremble instantly.

After returning to the reality on the ground, Li Mo's questioning words entered their ears again.

"Are you clear? Shake your head and take a deep breath. Our battle has just begun! Tell me, what are we here for?"

"victory!"

"for what?"

"victory!!!"

"Fine, fine, let's go back together now, Gareth did a great job, but we need to give Barcelona a hard time! Get ready to defend, guys, we're going to play our hardest Let Barcelona know who we are!"

Li Mo waved his fists and took the lead in striding towards his side.

His "special move" naturally attracted the attention of the live camera early.

However, the fans could only see that after Li Mo gathered his teammates, he spit on the bottom line of Barcelona, ​​and then quickly ran back to his own half with his teammates.

It looked like he was giving a "wartime speech", but what Li Mo said specifically, the live broadcast was not on the radio, and the fans had no way of knowing.

But this did not prevent the Sheffield United fans at the scene from bursting into warm cheers and applause.

The commentator of Sky Sports also blurted out at this time.

"This is the leader! Lee woke up the players of Sheffield United from surprise, and the game just started. Even if they had already achieved a one-goal lead, the game only passed a little over a minute, and they had to take the lead. The advantage is maintained until 1 minutes, until the end of the game, this goal will have the greatest value!"

Speed ​​stood on the sidelines, and kept pointing his head and pressing his hands down to his disciples.

And Messi, who is in the enemy's hinterland, has a panoramic view of all this.

His worried eyes gradually added a bit of fear.

Before the game started, he thought he had a clear understanding of Sheffield United, and he didn't think his teammates would carelessly underestimate the enemy.

After all, the record is very intuitive. Seeing Sheffield United's various luxurious statistics this season, it is hard for you not to be very careful to prepare for the battle with them.

But at this moment, Messi suddenly felt that their understanding of Sheffield United was not deep enough.

It depends on the tactics, but in terms of mentality, Sheffield United has far exceeded his expectations!
"It's a really bad start, we have to work harder, Leo, there is still plenty of time, but we need to get nervous!"

Iniesta patted the back of Messi who was walking back to the kick-off point, his eyes and tone were very dignified.

Messi has been plagued by injuries this season. With reduced playing time, his state is no longer as brave as the previous two seasons.

But his personal data is still very luxurious, second only to Li Mo and Ronaldo in Europe, and he is still an irreplaceable and indispensable super thigh in Barcelona's offensive system.

Iniesta doesn't want to put too much pressure on Messi, but in this terrible start, not only him, but the whole Barcelona needs Messi to turn the tide.

Messi didn't say much, gave Iniesta a tacit look, and then nodded firmly.

He may not be good at words, he may not have too many "domineering" moments in the game, but he will use his feet and goal after goal to lead his beloved team out of the woods.

It was true before, and it is true now.

When the referee blew the whistle to restart the game, Barcelona also quickly invested in the attack, controlling the ball and quickly began to infiltrate Sheffield United's midfield.

Every Sheffield United player knows clearly that they are facing a pass-control team that has never faced each other before.

If it is said that the technical storm created by Arsenal and Manchester City in the Premier League has driven many Premier League teams to gradually move towards the road of transmission control and delicate technology.

In the whole world, the great success of Barcelona and Spain in the past few years is the huge driving force for the further development of football skills and tactics.

Fans who have personally experienced the 08-12 season can't deny that pass control has been the hottest topic of discussion in the entire football world in the past four years.

Can't get around it.

Three consecutive Spanish competitions, Barcelona won the Champions League twice, Tiki-Taka is rampant in the world football, Barcelona has also harvested wave after wave of fans all over the world.

It can be said that Sheffield United, the current top European team that has focused on oppressive defense and quick counterattack since its rise, is a "heterogeneous" in the context of the development of the entire football world.

Real Madrid played more delicately after the arrival of Ancelotti, and the scene was better.

Under the training of Guardiola, Bayern gradually gained the title of "Bundesliga Barcelona".

Paris bought a lot of technical players to rebuild their rise.

Manchester City embarked on the path of pure pass control.

Needless to say, Arsenal has always been one of the spokespersons of beautiful football.

Even Chelsea, which used to be known for its iron blood and competed exclusively with Barcelona, ​​has now embarked on the path of skill.

Let's see, under the general environment, no matter how the well-known strong teams are rebuilt, they will all have something to do with pass-and-control football.

And Barcelona, ​​which has led the trend, has naturally become the best target for countless teams to study and try to beat.

After Sheffield United drew Barcelona, ​​they naturally joined the ranks.

And they are very lucky to have a game case that happened within a year to refer to.

Yes, it is the 2012-2013 season, the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the two rounds of Bayern Munich VS Barcelona.

From the coach to the players, Sheffield United really watched the replay of these two games over and over again.

What do you want to ask Sheffield United to learn from it?
Just look at Barcelona trying to infiltrate the midfield at this moment, and the result is that they are still in their own half after several minutes of pass control!

Barcelona originally wanted to lure Sheffield United to come up to press, and then use their technical advantages to quickly pass the ball through the midfield, and then let Messi hold the ball to look for murder, but obviously, their wishful thinking was completely empty.

Li Mo retreated and stared at the Barcelona players holding the ball to find the way out of the arc at the top of the center circle. Neymar and Bale were behind him closer to the center line.

After the three of them, Medel clings to Messi, like a piece of brown sugar. Even if Messi has no idea of ​​going back to ask for the ball, he maintains an "intimate posture" that never leaves.

Drinkwater and Matic had no intention of directing the formation forward at all, and stood firm and dead in their positions, with a posture of "you let the horse come here!".

Maintaining the numerical advantage in the midfield, and at the same time not rushing up, and then killing the super explosive point of Cha Messi, Sheffield United will not care how ugly their own ball possession data is, it depends on Barcelona pouring the ball in their own half!

Hey, are you surprised or familiar?

Even if the Barcelona fans haven't reacted yet, the Bayern fans watching this game must have reacted at this moment.

This Nima is exactly the same as Bayern's anti-penetration tactics against Barcelona last season!

Always maintain a numerical advantage in the middle of the midfield, do not rush forward, keep the defensive formation in line, and at the same time strictly guard against Messi.

Come on, I want to force you to choose Barcelona!

If you don't fight me to the death in the middle of the midfield, you can play a 1V1 personal ability battle with me on the side!

Transmission control?

Leave it to your own half and pass it slowly.

I'm playing away and I'm leading by one goal, don't worry, really don't worry~
Sheffield United played in no hurry, but the players in Barcelona's midfield had to be anxious.

Possession is of course important to them, but what about possession only in their own half?

Seeing that there is no way to go in the middle, a forced move will definitely take off a layer of skin. Harvey can only signal Iniesta and Sanchez to retreat more and go to the side to catch the ball.

Don't ask why you don't make a long pass to tear through Sheffield United's defense, just ask why you can't pass.

Put the simplest data comparison.

Maguire is 1.9 meters four, Matic is 1.9 meters four, Stones is 1.8 meters nine, Felipe Luis is 1.8 meters two.
Messi is 1.6 meters nine, Sanchez is 1.6 meters eight, Iniesta is 1.7 meters one, Fabregas is 1.7 meters eight.
So, pass the lob?
Come on, Ma Datou will die laughing seeing Barcelona dare to pass the high ball.

You have to dizzy your head!

This kind of tactical preview Sheffield United has done countless times before the war. It has long been known that Barcelona can only start the game from the side to try and attack.

And Sheffield United's defense is also very simple.

The winger blocks, Li Mo double-teams from behind, and the fullback breaks!
Defense is really not an issue for Li Mo. Both he and Bell started as defenders, one fullback and one central defender.

Neymar usually practiced confrontation with those rough guys in the Premier League. Although his muscles have not been trained much now, his core strength is much better than half a year ago.

I can't squeeze those Premier League full-backs through hard work. Can I, Brazil's No. [-] affectionate, still be unable to hold you, a Spanish rookie!

The aggressive Neymar dared to confront Iniesta directly.

Anyway, if you pass back, I won't chase, but if you want to pass me, you can, first pass the confrontation level.

Iniesta is suffering.

This Neymar was almost supposed to be the striker they were going to introduce last summer.

We are both technical players, and almost became teammates, why bother to embarrass each other?
The vertical breakthrough of the left and right wings couldn't open the situation. Barcelona had to shrink its fist again, conduct horizontal transmission and involve Sheffield United's defense line, and then find an opportunity to give the ball to Messi.

It's the same old way.

Messi returned to his own half, but Medel still didn't care.

So in the 10th minute of the first half, Barcelona, ​​who had tried for a long time without any results, simply let Messi retreat to hold the ball.

But as soon as Messi holds the ball and crosses halftime, Medel will immediately come close to him and give one-on-one kind care.

In the past, Messi always had a way to easily get rid of tall defensive players on the field, but today he encountered a difficult Medel who is about the same size as him. If he wants to get rid of, the difficulty will come up.

Under Speed's more than three years of teaching and influence, Drinkwater has become the most feared "old dick" in the Premier League.

Medel is naturally more "sophisticated" on the defensive end.

Dirty hands, small movements close to the back are highly concealed, the referee can't see clearly, Messi staggers at every turn, forced to cross or pass back, and Medel took two directly, and his emotions immediately rose.

But Messi is not someone who likes to take the initiative to cause trouble, he wants to use his own strength to speak.

But under the targeting of Sheffield United today, Messi is destined to not get a fair chance to compete with Medel.

In the No.16 minute of the first half, Messi took the ball again and tried to advance in the middle. Medel repeated his old trick, trying to close-up a wave, but was thrown away by Messi's sudden change of direction and acceleration!
But before Messi had time to complete the breakthrough to the next Sheffield United defender, a huge force came from his side.

The ball was lost, and Messi almost stumbled again, but the referee did not call a foul.

Because the person who grabbed the ball touched the football first, and chased after him to steal the ball with explosive speed.

There was no shovel, no additional movement in the hands, and Messi did not fall. The referee only thought about it for less than half a second, and then decisively decided not to blow the whistle.

Naturally, the Barcelona fans stopped doing it, and booed sky-shatteringly at home with all their strength!
Only then did Messi have time to look back to see who was stealing the ball from him.

But what was left to him was a figure from the back of No. [-] that was enough to make him feel astonished!
"Ha! Li Mo chased back and broke the ball from Messi's feet abruptly! Iniesta intercepted. Good shot! Li Mo dribbled the ball and directly passed Iniesta! Sheffield United's chance to counterattack!"

After Zhang Lu happily watched Li Mo's "not doing business" steal, he was planning to chat with Zhan Jun about Li Mo's clever return to defense just now.

As a result, Li Mo's speed soared, and then he passed Iniesta, Sheffield United had a chance to counterattack!
Barcelona is used to playing high-post oppression. The moment they see a few steals, they will subconsciously press the ball holder.

Last year, when Bayern faced Barcelona's high-position press, the solution they used was rapid transmission and maintaining a local numerical advantage in both offensive and defensive personnel.

This required Bayern's players to make a lot of running to maintain this advantage. Of course, Bayern did this perfectly at the time.

They also successfully broke through Barcelona's oppression trap, and calmly and smoothly played fast counterattacks time after time that made Barcelona difficult to parry.

When it comes to Sheffield United, the method of cracking seems to be simpler.

Let Li Mo go!
The defensive end needs Li Mo's pursuit, and the offensive end also needs Li Mo's super push. It can be said that Speed ​​has placed a very, very heavy tactical burden on Li Mo in this game.

But Li Mo took it.

Because he has the strength and the physical ability to support him.

Barcelona's pressing defense?
To be honest, as long as the referee doesn't call Li Mo's offensive foul, Li Mo is sure to rush from his own half to the 30-meter zone of Barcelona every time!
Because Barcelona's midfield confrontation is just tickling him, it is not an exaggeration to describe it this way.

Iniesta and Fabregas can't give him any defensive pressure, let alone Xavi.

As for Busquets?

Li Mo can carry him forward ten meters and then shoot!

Many fans have said more than once that Barcelona's defense is actually playing smart fouls, dirty moves, small scale, and can block the opponent's counterattack at the smallest cost without taking cards.

There is some truth to these words, but whether it is really dirty or clever, Barcelona can only admit it when it meets Li Mo, a freak today.

Because this guy is firstly not afraid of getting hurt, secondly, his physical fitness is exploding, and thirdly, he really has the skills to play long-distance raids!
After wading past Iniesta, Li Mo sped up the ball again and passed Harvey. Fabregas chased after him, but he found that the more he chased, the more he chased, and Li Mo pulled away. The farther the gap!

All this happened in just three or four seconds after Li Mo stole the ball. Busquets looked at Li Mo who was getting closer and closer to him with numb scalp, and wondered whether to use "acting skills".

Fortunately, Li Mo passed the ball at this time.

After attracting enough attention from Barcelona's defense, Li Mo's rough through ball made all Barcelona's defenders turn around and start chasing back.

But Bell ran towards the football that was getting closer to the bottom line faster than everyone else!
Alves wanted to yell.

Deliberately, Li Mo definitely did it on purpose!

Just look for Bell, right? !

Isn't this a problem with his Brazil's number one right back!
How Maicon was blasted by Bell back then, Alves really felt it today.

Nanima really can't catch up with the strength of breastfeeding!

After quick thinking, Alves decisively chose to cut in, and he wanted to take a shortcut to bet on Bell's possible route to cut in.

But it was this adduction that gave Bell a valuable opportunity to observe and cross.

Before striding forward to adjust the pace and make the final cross choice, Bell saw Li Mo just rushing past Mascherano.

At this moment, he was completely relieved!

"Bell's speed is very fast! Catch up. Baseline cross!!!"

Zhan Jun roared angrily, and in the live broadcast, the football, which was passed by Bale with a wonderful arc, quickly passed over Alves' head, and began to fall rapidly in Barcelona's penalty area!
The eyes of all the fans and spectators followed the football and were attracted by the two jumping figures who were already entangled in the penalty area at the moment!

Pique is indeed worthy of being the most powerful central defender in active football. He didn't compete with Li Mo for speed, but stood in a dead position early, occupying a favorable position, and he deliberately leaned forward when he took off. side squeeze.

At this time, the average center forward must have difficulty exerting his strength with his back behind him.

But in today's football, the division of centers is very well-defined.

Let's not mention the centers at the lower level of the pyramid.

Ibrahimovic, Suarez, and Lewandowski basically occupy the top three seats among the top football centers this season.

Behind them was a declining Van Persie and an improving Diego Costa.

But above them, there must be an empty space first, and then Li Mo!

Pique had already fully experienced the strength of Li Mo's confrontation in Sheffield United's blitz goal in the opening game, so he made more preparations this time.

But to no avail.

It's really useless, Li Mo will play the most ruthless with you relying on the attribute of not being afraid of getting hurt, will it hurt to bump into you like this?

pain!It hurts!

But he didn't flinch from fear of getting hurt, and Li Mo could bear it. With all his strength, he directly pressed Pique down behind Pique!

Eat it alive!

At the moment when countless fans utter national essence, this is the only word left in their minds!

The old goalkeeper Pinto is really powerless.

Bale's pass was already powerful, but Li Mo was still trying to fight for the top at close range. As soon as the two forces collided, the football changed direction almost instantly and flew directly into the upper right corner of Barcelona's goal!

The moment the net was lifted high by the football, the Sheffield United fans, who may have less than 5000 people at the scene, immediately jumped up on the spot, cheering and screaming wildly!
Speed ​​stared, bent down and put his hands on his knees, watching the progress of this counterattack.

The moment Li Mo succeeded in competing for the top, he straightened his body like a spring in advance, and then started running along the sideline!
The black windbreaker and roaring running figure almost made the fans mistakenly think that the madman Mourinho, who is still resting at home, has come to the scene!

After Li Mo landed on one leg, he didn't even bother to rub his chest that was hurt by the bump.

After confirming again that the football had indeed entered the net, Li Mo punched down with both hands, and stood in the penalty area of ​​Barcelona, ​​glaring and screaming!
Bale, Neymar, Drinkwater
The teammates who were closer to him roared and rushed up one by one, jumping on him like a koala, and then grabbed and clapped with both hands!

They couldn't hear each other's voices, and perhaps many of the roared words were meaningless and trivial.

But at this moment, it doesn't matter whether the words are clear or not.

They looked at each other and roared, slapped each other passionately, and then hugged each other tightly!

Outside of this scene of passionate celebration, Barcelona's defensive players were panting and calming down, but they looked at each other with blank eyes again.

Messi stood in the middle circle, and he was also confused.

The two quarter-finals against Bayern Munich last year directly broke the mentality of their team.

To this day, the impact of those two disastrous defeats still lingers over Barcelona, ​​and it will linger for a long time!

Two 4-0 games, whether at home or away, Barcelona were crushed!
That painful memory made him dare not recall too much.

But now, everything seems to be repeating itself. History did not take Barcelona to forget the pain and move on today, but let them fall into another tragic reincarnation!

The familiar sense of powerlessness and the feeling of being targeted made Messi very irritable and disgusted!
If it is possible to "put aside the facts" when the first goal was conceded, saying that it was purely bad luck, then how should they explain the current conceded goal?

After roaring and celebrating, Li Mo looked at the live broadcast camera and grinned a ferocious smile that made all Barcelona fans shudder.

Today's game will be a massacre carefully planned by Sheffield United, a battle of annihilation, a battle of...
Mass extinction!
