opening a balotelli

"Bell has caught up! The cross from the bottom line! Li Mo——!!!"

"There is——!!!"

"The goal was scored-!!! Barcelona's goal was pierced again! No. 20 minutes hadn't been played in the first half! Sheffield United scored their second away goal at the Nou Camp, again The Li Bei connection was staged perfectly!!! Li Mo continued his record of killing all opponents in the Champions League this season! He also scored his No.12 goal in the Champions League this season, one goal ahead of Ronaldo and back Top scorer in the Champions League!"

"Beautiful counterattack! It's really beautiful! Li Mo's personal ability and Sheffield United's counterattack speed have been fully demonstrated in this goal! Speed, hehe, it really gave Heynckes' tactics to the fore. You have learned a lot! You have thoroughly studied Barcelona!"

Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were completely excited in the studio.

The two excitedly celebrated Li Mo's goal with each other, and they were completely at ease in their hearts after being pleasantly surprised.

Facts have proved that Sheffield United is still the same Sheffield United.

The pragmatic and calm style allowed them to greatly avoid the possibility of arrogance due to the surprise goal at the beginning.

And being able to score two away goals in less than 10 minutes of the opening two almost drove Barcelona to a dead end.

The tactical arrangements made by Speed ​​naturally attracted the attention of commentators and fans from various countries.

There is almost no need to remind too much. After a simple review, everyone quickly recalled the semi-final battle between Barcelona and Bayern last year.

In other words, it can't be called a big war anymore, it would be two massacres!

The advantage of the number of midfielders, the rapid transmission of counterattacks, the strong defensive ability on the side, and the distinctive high-altitude ball advantage.

like ah!It's so fucking like!

You can say that in detail, Speed ​​and Heynckes adopted different targeted tactics against Barcelona.

But the general idea is almost the same.

Strangling Barcelona's middle penetration, staring at Messi, counterattack and high-altitude bombing.

It's really going to the lifeblood of Barcelona, ​​and the effect is better than last year's Bayern.

At least in terms of efficiency, Sheffield United is better than Bayern last year.

Li Mo is not like old man Luo, he had a few happy kicks at the beginning, he stabbed Barcelona in the waist when he seized the opportunity!
And compared to last year's Mandzukic and Mario Gomez, Li Mo can't be said to have a huge advantage in the fight for the top.

That's completely dominating performance!
Pique was blown up, and he was blown up by Li Mo in the high-altitude ball competition, which can be said to be the strongest item in his defensive arsenal!
Both Terry and Kompany know that they can't easily fight against Li Mo one-on-one.

Is Pique stronger than the two central defenders mentioned above?
But Barcelona really can't help it.

Look at the old Marco Mascherano who started with Pique today.

It was transformed from a defensive midfielder to play as a central defender, using the ground fighting style.

But Sheffield United is aiming to hit you on the head of Barcelona, ​​what should I do!

On the bench, there is one central defender, Bartra, who is also a young man just over 1.8 meters tall.

Against Li Mo, the effect is no different from that of Mascherano. His defensive experience is not as rich as Mascherano's, and he is directly given for free.

Martino stood in front of the Barcelona bench, watching the situation in front of him, angry and anxious, but he just couldn't find a solution immediately.

To talk about the high point, there is actually another one on the Barcelona court, and that is Busquets.

But Professor Bu retreated to play the central defender, let alone whether he could adapt, and his body didn't look like he could put pressure on Li Mo.

And his point is basically the eye of Barcelona. If he doesn't play the midfielder, who will fill this position?

Alexander Song on the bench?

If Martino really dared to work like this, whether the effect is good or not is another matter, but Speed ​​would have to laugh first.

Is this a proper way to cut off an arm?

Embarrassed for a long while, seeing that the game was about to restart again, Martino really couldn't find a way to break Sheffield United's tactics.

This is not to be blamed on him. If Barcelona really had a plan to deal with this tactical target, last year they would not suffer another 0-4 in the second round after a disastrous defeat in the first round.

Even if you don't talk about the results, starting from the process, the replay of the two Barcelona fiascos last year can be easily seen by any fan.

That Bayern team and today's Sheffield United team is the tactical style that overwhelmed Barcelona.

A lot of running creates local numerical advantages on the field again and again, passing through the midfield quickly and not fighting with you.

After that, either beat your full-backs to press up and attack, leaving a large empty wing, or directly bomb from high altitude.

Because this is the sore foot of your Barcelona tactics and lineup.

Don't you like to play pass control and offense?

One of the two full-backs presses forward than the other, and one has stronger offensive attributes than the other. The two wingers on my side just like to get behind you and fight back, and their attributes are exactly the same.

Let's talk about high ball defense.

Barça's old problem.

Why was Bayern beaten so badly last year?
Barcelona in the first round can be said to have been crushed to death by Bayern's recoil and high ball bombing!

You, Pique, have the advantage of fighting for the top alone, while Dante, Martinez, Mandzukic, and Gomez at Bayern will come up to play dogfights with you in turn!

One-on-one kills Pique, and there are several extra headers who can compete for a point on the wing, and then let Muller or the two wingers at two points go to the penalty area to steal chickens.

Isn't that how Muller scored the first goal?

It's just that Sheffield United played more directly this year.

Because Pique, the only high point advantage in the Barcelona penalty area, has no effect in front of Li Mo.

Sheffield United is going to send a cross to Li Mo, and you have nothing to do with Barcelona.

Of course, if Sheffield United didn't have the goal of stealing chickens in the opening game, then the balance on the field may not necessarily be broken by Sheffield United early.

Because Barcelona is indeed playing slickly in possession of the ball, if Sheffield United does not press with all their strength, the chances of threatening counterattacks and crosses will be correspondingly much less.

But even with a normal start, Speed ​​is 100% confident that he can capture Camp Nou today!
Because the confrontation trend of the two teams has been doomed from the research on each other before the game.

Sheffield United is hoarding heavily in the middle, and playing against you Barcelona is a pragmatic one, knowing all your flaws.

I can accept the status quo with few opportunities, because I have to stabilize the defense first. In this case, every time I play a threatening counterattack, I am equivalent to earning money.

Barcelona can't, because they can't defend against Sheffield United.

One is that they can't compete with Sheffield United in speed, and the other is that they can't play high-altitude long passes.

And their tactical tone does not allow them to play counter-defense.

On the one hand, it is to wait for the opponent to enter the set, and on the other hand, it is almost 100% to take the initiative to fight for the advantage at home.

So the tone of this game was seen through by Sheffield United's coaching staff from the very beginning.

Sheffield United have thought about how to play and whether it will be effective. I don't know how many times.

Fortunately, they scored a blitz in the opening stage. Since the birth of that ball, the players of Sheffield United firmly believed that they would win a complete victory.

Now the score of 2-0 has fully made them more firm in their tactical thinking.

Barcelona has no way out.

If they dare to accept such a result, it is basically equivalent to giving Sheffield United the place to enter the semi-finals of the Champions League this season!

Everyone knows how formidable Bramall Lane is.

Even if Barcelona has never been there to play a game, the players have seen the media reports every day, and they have a more or less cognitive concept.

So their bottom line at home is that they cannot lose.

Iniesta and Harvey are very anxious at the moment. After the game restarted, Martino did not make tactical adjustments, and they also made up their minds to speed up.

Speeding up the pace means increasing opportunities and risks at the same time, but they have no choice.

Moreover, at their own home court, they were two goals behind and did not catch up. All Barcelona players could not imagine how the fans and local media would evaluate them after the game.

So they can only further strengthen the offensive.

Seeing the acceleration of Barcelona's conduction rhythm, Li Mo shouted loudly for his teammates to hold their ground.

Sheffield United can actually play hedging when Barcelona is aggressively pressing forward. Their chances of counterattack have increased. With better luck, they may score another goal in 10 minutes.

But there's no need to take that risk.

At this time, it is Barcelona that is anxious, not Sheffield United.

If Speed ​​doesn't speak, what they have to do is to continue to play steadily and wear down the patience of the Barcelona players!
Thus began a tough and intense midfield battle.

Sheffield United did not shrink their formation back to their own half, and would fight Barcelona at the top of the center circle.

They have this physical ability and defensive confidence, so they use frequent running and active confrontation to make Barcelona pay a lot of physical energy every time they pass halftime.

A region-by-region fight, from the center to the sideways, and then to the rib area.

Sheffield United just ran out with an extra defender's rhythm!
No matter how Barcelona passes, they basically have no defensive weak side, forcing Barcelona to fight for their personal abilities again!

Messi is very strong, and his threat with the ball made the Sheffield United team dare not underestimate it.

With the cooperation of Iniesta and Sanchez, Messi also repeatedly broke through and created dangers within the 30-meter area of ​​Sheffield United.

But because of Medel, it is too difficult for Messi to let go of his hands and feet in this game as usual!

Because Medel can really keep up with him!
The similar height and the same flexible characteristics allow Medel to face Messi's super fast pace unlike other tall defenders.

Even if he is sometimes passed by Messi's sudden sudden change of direction, but in less than two seconds, he can re-close to his body and lock Messi!

Inseparable at every step is to complete one-on-one exchange tasks.

Medel's tenacious defense that almost made all Barcelona fans dizzy made Barcelona's trump card lose his magic power!

On the Sheffield United side, the morale is getting higher and higher, and they work harder on the defensive end, which also makes Barcelona play even more painfully!

From No. 20 minutes in the first half to No. 305 minutes, in a full 15 minutes, Barcelona achieved close to 80% possession rate, but only one shot outside the penalty area!

Messi was so close to Medel that he couldn't even get up, and the only shot came from Sanchez.

Such a terrifying sense of defensive oppression made it difficult for every player in the Barcelona team to suppress the idea of ​​being angry and bad in their hearts.

Although Bayern bloodbathed them last year, they still found a lot of opportunities when they invested a lot of troops in the attack.

Bayern also used their offense to break them down because the counterattack from the side was too sharp.

But what is Sheffield United? !
Not to mention that it is difficult for Messi to play well, it is even more difficult for other Barcelona players to find a few opportunities to enter the Sheffield United penalty area!

This situation is obviously not what the Barcelona players want to see.

Push forward, push forward, push forward!
They can only increase their offensive strength, Alves and Alba are almost playing as wingers!

Busquets overwhelmed the half-court receiving organization, Pique also dribbled the ball forward from time to time, basically only Mascherano was left honestly squatting in the backcourt.

Li Mo looked at Barcelona's crazy actions, but in his heart he kept trying to keep calm and keep calm!
Because he knows that the opportunity to completely kill the game has come!
"Pull it apart!"

Harvey took the ball again and signaled Alba not to go too far forward. They will have to make full use of the width of the Nou Camp to tear up Sheffield United's defensive system.

They are quite familiar with this set of offensive methods, and with technical support, as long as Sheffield United's defense line is opened up, there will always be a chance to go forward.

But just when he and Iniesta had just completed a two-for-one cooperation and tried to send the ball behind Felipe Luis to let Sanchez go down smoothly, Stones, who attacked, fell to the ground at an extremely fast speed tackle!
This early interception fully reflects Stones' defensive characteristics.

Flexible posture and fast explosive speed.

Sanchez turned around to fight back at the first time, but Stones fell on the turf and his feet were not slow, and directly "kicked" the ball to Matic who rushed back to meet him!

In an instant, both Harvey and Iniesta yelled in their hearts that it was not good. One of them quickly chased back, and the other fingered Bale and shouted for Busquets to intercept.

After Matic took the ball and turned around by the way, he made a long pass and went directly to Li Mo, who was one step inside the midfield line!

Li Mo has no possibility of offside, Pique immediately rushed over to fight him for the top, Busquets chased the fast Bale, he was not double-teamed, so he firmly diverted the football to the decisive header Right!

Neymar saw that Alba, who seemed to be faster than himself, was already approaching him. Facing Li Mo's header, he didn't stop the speed at the first time, but turned around and made a pass back!
Trippier, who rushed forward to catch the ball, quickly attracted Alba's defensive attention, but he didn't take the ball, but sent a through ball straight forward!
After returning the ball, Neymar turned around and ran straight away, without even looking behind, and Trippier's tacit understanding made his choice right!

Alba was left out of position. Even if he was faster, it would be difficult to catch up with Neymar. Mascherano's quick return to defense kept Neymar from offside!

In an instant, Sheffield United's offensive trident exploded and accelerated, while Barcelona's half was almost left with Mascherano, who returned to the defense early, and Pique, who was thrown away by Li Mo!

Three to two in the frontcourt!Absolute opportunity for Sheffield United!

"Beautiful through pass!!! Neymar is rushing up! Bale is on the left, Li Mo is in the center, Mascherano dare not go directly to intercept Neymar! He is watching Li Mo! Sheffield United's chance!"

Zhan Jun roared angrily, subconsciously clenched his fists, and watched the counterattack launched by Sheffield United excitedly!

Sheffield United's counterattack only takes a few seconds, so as soon as Zhan Jun's words fell, Neymar ran to the right position on the right side and sent a cross directly!
Seeing this, Li Mo deliberately slowed down, so that Pique could only follow around him, and Neymar's pass quickly flew to the back point!
"Bell throws off Alves!"

Zhang Lu roared excitedly, Bell also jumped up high against Mascherano's defense, and firmly hit Neymar's cross!
But his header is not a direct attack, but it is equivalent to making a return point!
Just when almost all the narrators were almost dodged and exclaimed again and again, Li Mo leaned sideways on Pique, and then directly volleyed!

Barcelona's old goalkeeper Pinto was also shaken by Bell. When he tried to save Li Mo's shot, it was too late!

"Li Mo volleyed --!!! God! Goal scored!!! Third goal! Sheffield United scored their third half-time goal in the first half! Li Mo!!! This season's Champions League No.13 goal! Barcelona was stunned!"

When Zhan Jun was unbelievably and enthusiastically commenting, Li Mo was also excited to celebrate by running and kneeling at the bottom line of Barcelona!

The big picture is set!

Li Mo did not call on his teammates to keep calm during this celebration.

They scored the third goal in less than half time, and they have already ruined the game!

Of course, they won't be popping champagne at half-time, but the rest of the game is a total treat for them!

"WE FUCKED BARCELONA! IN FUCKING HALF AN HOUR!!! WE FUCKED THEM!!!"

Medel spit wildly, patted his chest passionately, stood on the sidelines and shouted at the equally crazy Sheffield United fans to celebrate!

And the Sheffield United fans, who were already hoarse, expressed their excitement with waves of cheers.

They beat Barcelona at halftime at Camp Nou!

To hell with round two!
They have firmly entered the final four of the Champions League this season!

Under the sound waves, Li Mo embraced Neymar's neck, laughed and raised one arm, and roared in celebration again.

And at this moment, the audience watching this game has already turned upside down!

Shocked and unbelievable, they turned on their phones one after another and expressed their excitement on their personal social media.

Sheffield United led Barcelona by less than three goals at halftime, a football tragedy that shocked the whole of Europe and even the world is about to be born!
