Chapter 5 Fame with one goal

"wonderful!"

Speed ​​held his head in his hands and said in disbelief, but at this time his assistant coach was hugging him excitedly.

"Gary! Do you know what I saw, Zlatan! This kid plays so much like Zlatan, takes the ball, attracts the defense, assists!"

The assistant coach's excited words brought Gary Speed ​​back to his senses. This sentence seems to make sense. The center forward retreats to catch the ball, dribbles to create space, and then creates more opportunities for his teammates. It is a bit Zlatan Ibrahimovic Taste of Rahimovic!
The center forward known as the Swedish magic tower has been killing all sides in Serie A for many years. Many people praised him as a center forward with his own offensive system.

He is tall, can hold the ball in the frontcourt, and has very good dribbling and passing skills. He can often retreat to catch the ball to attract the defense, and then send wonderful assists to his teammates.

His own shooting skills are also very superb, with good scoring efficiency and huge damage in the penalty area, which leads to defensive players often falling into a dilemma when facing Ibrahimovic.

Defending him closely, he can retreat, pull out the defense line, and then let his teammates get more opportunities, but if he relaxes his vigilance, he can choose to go it alone, often scoring some unreasonable goals.

However, when Ibrahimovic was young, he always believed in the skills at his feet more, but he didn't like to fight hand-to-hand with defenders.

Li Mo is very different from the young Ibrahimovic on this point. This kid seems to like to fight with defenders too much, and he also knows how to take advantage of his physical fitness.

"We can build an offensive system around Lee, just like Milan City has Zlatan as the center of attack, so won't we find a solution to our problems on the front line?"

The teaching assistant touched his bald head and said excitedly.

Speed ​​moved in his heart, but he quickly forced himself to calm down. This matter still needs to be considered. It is definitely not wrong to give Li Mo more playing time, but if he wants to formulate offensive tactics around Li Mo, it will take a lot of money. The risk is too great.

"Look again, look again..."

On the field, Stephen Quinn is still a little dizzy in his head.

A few minutes ago he was still worried about the offense on the field, but now he has scored his first goal of the season, and at this time he was also held in Li Mo's arms and ran towards his own midfielder.

However, his stature is relatively short, he is less than 1 meters tall, and it looks a little funny to be hugged by Li Mo, who is over 7 meters tall.

"Hey, Stephen, if there is a chance later, as long as I raise my hand, you pass the ball towards me, whether it is a high-altitude ball or a low-level ball, you pass it when I raise my hand. Tried it, the two full-backs I can force, the center-back is too slow, I can get rid of them."

Li Mo blinked and said to Stephen quickly.

Stephen suddenly realized, "So you kept asking for the ball just now, are you trying to see which of their defenders can break through?"

Li Mo smiled and did not answer, and walked back to his position to stand still and wait for the kick-off.

Stephen glanced at Li Mo again, overturning his previous impression of Li Mo in his heart.

He originally thought that this young man was playing in a professional league for the first time, and he didn't know what to do, so he kept asking for the ball in the frontcourt to fight with the defenders. Now it seems that he thought Li Mo was easy.

But this is a good thing for the team. A center forward who plays with his brain may really be able to solve the current team's weak forward problem.

"And, that pass was great, wasn't it?"

Stephen thought silently in his heart that he himself was also a beneficiary, anyway, he subconsciously began to agree with Li Mo.

The game started again. The players of Bristol City seemed to be affected by Sheffield United's goal, and their movements became a little nervous, especially their defenders. When they looked at Li Mo again, their eyes were a little different.

This time they didn't dare to relax their vigilance against Li Mo, but with Li Mo's wonderful pass just now, they also paid more attention to the other offensive players of Sheffield United, and they seemed a little timid.

Bristol City's formation shrank even tighter, and Sheffield United's midfielders were not polite when they saw this. After firmly occupying the initiative in the middle, they began to attack boldly.

The full-backs on both sides of Sheffield United also stepped in from time to time, and the basic low-pass tactics were played well. Li Mo got to the point several times and surprised the defenders of Bristol City. They were in a cold sweat.

But now Li Mo is surrounded by at least one midfielder and one defender. No matter how good his physical fitness is, it is difficult to find a 1v1 opportunity under such a close watch.

However, Li Mo didn't mind. Instead, he seemed to be enjoying this kind of confrontation. He took the initiative to find the central defenders of Bristol City for hand-to-hand combat several times, which made the two central defenders miserable.

Under the impact of Li Mo again and again, Bristol City's defense seemed a little fragmented.

Sheffield United's midfielder also understands that Bristol City has tightened up their formation now, and it's difficult to attack on the ground with a lot of people in the penalty area. It's better to use Li Mo's high-altitude advantage, even if he can't get in. , Disturbing Bristol City's defense, other players may get a chance to shoot.

For a while, it was the turn of Bristol City's restricted area to be jittery, but now, Lady Luck seems to be off work.

In addition to the threat of Li Mo's top fight a few times, the long-range shots of other Sheffield United players either missed the goal or hit the players of Bristol City.

Even Montgomery, who had been lagging behind, came up with a kick, but it didn't have any effect, but the game time passed quickly.

Sheffield United's attack was thunderous and rainy. After Li Mo was marked by many people, they seemed to have no better way to beat one less player.

However, Stephen Quinn still remembered what Li Mo said to him, as long as Li Mo raised his hand to ask, he would pass the ball without hesitation.

But Li Mo has been staying in the penalty area of ​​Bristol City, and has not raised his hand to ask for the ball. Stephen Quinn has no choice but to continue to wait.

85 minutes of playing time have passed, and it is about to enter injury time. Sheffield United won a corner kick again.

The captain of the team, central defender Chris Morgan, trotted into the penalty area. Li Mo stood beside the old captain just like the previous few times, but he suddenly covered his mouth and said something in the old captain's ear. It has attracted the attention of the Bristol City defender.

Usually at this time, if you want to score a header, the center forward of the team or the central defender with the best header will ask another person to help him "pick and roll".

In the past few times, Li Mo directly competed with the defenders of Bristol City for the first point. Did he choose to let Chris Morgan help him attract firepower this time?
Under the suspicious eyes of the central defender of Bristol City, Li Mo dragged Chris Morgan's arm and hid slightly behind the old captain. When the full-back who took the corner kick from Sheffield United left, the penalty area of ​​Bristol City suddenly It became a mess.

But this time Sheffield United made a tactical coordination. The full-back kicked the corner kick, but instead of kicking it to the penalty area, it passed it to Stephen Quinn who was waiting on the side.

Stephen Quinn originally wanted to hang the ball into the penalty area again. After all, in the current chaotic situation, the chances of scoring the ball have also greatly increased.

But in his peripheral vision, a figure suddenly turned back and ran out from the restricted area. The raised arm was very eye-catching.

Without hesitation, Stephen Quinn passed the ball quickly.

And the figure who ran out also faced the ball, unloaded it with the instep of his outer foot, seemed to stop and dial, after a little adjustment, relying on the strength of his waist and abdomen, half twisted his body and drew the ball out!

You know what it's like when something flashes in front of your eyes, and all you feel is a gust of shaving wind, and you don't even see what it is?

The Bristol City goalkeeper knew at this point.

It was a chilling feeling.

He slumped on the ground, and behind him lay a football that was still beating non-stop. It was just this thing that slammed into the net behind him.

Apart from the jubilant visiting team fan area, the Aston Gard Stadium is dead silent at the moment.

In front of his eyes, the Sheffield United players frantically chased a figure, rushing towards the stands of the visiting team fans.

The figure stood still in front of the fans' stands of the visiting team, raised its head high, put its hands next to its ears, and made a gesture of listening.

The huge, crazy noise in front of him instantly drowned him out. He had been waiting for five full years, just waiting for this moment!
"You're going to be famous, kid!"

I don't know who was yelling loudly in my ear, and Li Mo's excited face instantly drowned out. These old bastards actually played a male-on-male arhat!

"I'm super!"

Li Mo only pretended to be coercive for a second or two, and broke his power in an instant. He only had time to let out a howl, and was pushed down layer by layer by his teammates. His expression was painful and happy.

Yes, at least, on this three-acre land in England, he is really going to become famous with one goal!
