Chapter 101 Preseason Friendlies and World Preliminaries

On July 7, Li Mo finally got a call from Hao Junmin.

"I succeeded, Xiao Mo! I don't have to go back to China next season!"

The third brother's voice was very excited. It seems that in this young month, his trial training process has not been smooth sailing.

And Li Mo felt relieved, no matter what, as long as Hao Junmin continued to play in Germany next season, that would be the best result.

"Isn't it a Bundesliga team?"

Li Mo asked tentatively. He felt that with his previous performance in Schalke 04, few teams in the Bundesliga would give Hao Junmin a chance.

Even if he is willing to sign him, it may be more for the Huaguo market. Hao Junmin has made his own decision, and he will definitely not go to such a team again.

"It's not a team in the Bundesliga, and you may not think of which team in the Bundesliga I have successfully tried out."

Hao Junmin said very relaxedly, this surprised Li Mo, it seems that the third brother is very satisfied with the current team.

"Duisburg? You won't be on the same team as Brother Shao next season, right?!"

Li Mo is not sure. In May, the Bundesliga team Duisburg announced the signing of Shao Jiayi. Hao Junmin was so excited. Did he go to Duisburg?
"No, Brother Shao invited me to try out, but I already have a goal. I will represent Frankfurt in the Bundesliga next season!"

Li Mo heard an unexpected but expected name.

Frankfurt, isn't that the team that senior Yang Chen played for ten years ago?

Moreover, in order to understand the situation of the new season of the Bundesliga, Li Mo also specifically looked for the standings of the Bundesliga in the past few seasons.

Frankfurt ranked sixth from last in the Bundesliga Bundesliga last season, and their results can be described as very poor. Their midfield configuration is also very average. Playing in such a team, with the ability of the third brother, it is easy to stand out.

And with Yang Chen's relationship, the third brother will be treated fairly when he goes to the trial training.

After special training, Hao Junmin's physical fitness and defensive ability have improved, which seems to have impressed the Frankfurt coach, otherwise his tone would not be so relaxed and brisk.

"Congratulations, Brother Hao, next season you and Senior Shao Jiayi will be able to stage the Huaguo Derby in the second division."

"Don't hurt me, boy, I will try my best to get a chance to play in the next training camp, but I really have to thank you for your previous advice. If I still play as a right midfielder, the effect of this trial training may not be so good. By the way, you are right, after the position retreated, my performance was much better than before, but the defense still needs to be practiced.”

Hao Junmin let go of the burden in his heart, and he talked more. Li Mo was really happy for him. As long as he got the coach's approval, the third brother will at least not play awkwardly and badly in the Bundesliga in the new season. , The latter is to strive to compete for the main position.

The two brothers chatted for a while, Hao Junmin was ready to go to training, Li Mo checked the time, and it was time to go to the training base, so he hung up the phone.

Next season, in the European League, he will play in the Premier League, while Shao Jiayi and Hao Junmin will play in the German Second Division. At least for now, the three of them are still working hard in the European League.

But at this time in the previous life, Hao Junmin had already announced that he would return to China, and he stayed abroad for ten years. In the end, only Shao Jiayi remained in Duisburg, which is really embarrassing.

As for the few players who stayed abroad later, it was like playing soy sauce, and they made some jokes about wearing hats.
The last card of Huaguo football, there is only one brother Leizi who has been in the Super League for several years, and before Li Mo crossed, Leizi brother just announced that he had ended his overseas career and chose to return to China, which made Li Mo uncomfortable. a few days.

In this life, no matter what, Li Mo has successfully changed the ending of Hao Junmin's return to China. Afterwards, one of the domestic players counts as one. As long as he thinks about it and is willing to work hard in the European League, he will definitely find a way to help.

But he can only do this. People have to rely on themselves. It’s fine if they want to go abroad for gilding. He won’t waste his time, but like Brother Leizi, Zhang Linpeng, and Huang Bowen, he really feels that he should go abroad as soon as possible. , stop delaying your career.

When it's time for the World Preliminaries, let's make some indirect comments and ask them what they think first, so that we can help out with suggestions when the time comes.

Speaking of the world preliminaries, the national team had two friendly matches before the start of the world preliminaries in June, but the senior director did not recruit Li Mo, nor did Hao Junmin.

Because Hao Junmin said in advance that he would have a special training with Li Mo, and strive to stay in Germany in the new season, the high director naturally supported his decision 100%.

In fact, there are still several players in the team. Director Gao thinks that he should go abroad for a while, such as Deng Zhuoxiang, but now the domestic clubs are unwilling to let them go easily. Deng Zhuoxiang himself has no choice but to wait for the opportunity slowly .

And on July 7, Li Mo and Hao Junmin also received a reply from the high-level coaches in the two rounds of the world preliminaries against Laos, and they do not need to return to their country to participate.

Now that Director Gao is in office, he still has a certain say in terms of employment. He must try his best to make things easier for Li Mo and Hao Junmin.

Playing against a small country in Southeast Asia, Li Mo and the others ran back and forth once, which too affected the preparations before the season and also affected the state.

At present, after many discussions with the coaching staff of the national team, they decided to wait for the group to come out later, and then choose whether to recruit Li Mo and Hao Junmin to return to the country depending on the opponent's situation.

At that time, if Shao Jiayi's physical condition is fine, he should also come back.

Now Zheng Zhi, Li Weifeng, Sun Xiang and Sun Jihai have all been called up to the national team one after another.

Li Mo can see the pressure that Director Gao bears, but he is also full of confidence at the moment.

After all, the above group of people want results.

After the return of the veterans of the national football team, the backcourt has a solid defense. The combination of him and Hao Junmin in the midfield, plus Deng Zhuoxiang, Huang Baiwen and the others, except for a few Asian teams, which are not easy to play, they play in Central Asia and West Asia. For those teams, not to mention a sure win, at least after he scored a few more goals, he could control the field from behind.

After entering the top ten competition, the high-level coaching position will be stable, because this is the result that can be achieved!

Are they full enough to support them? They don’t want to take credit for lying down. If they change coaches randomly at that time, their grades will collapse.

After receiving the reply from the senior director, Li Mo and Hao Junmin also concentrated on continuing to prepare for the new season.

Sheffield United's pre-season starts on July 7 and ends on August 15. In half a month, they will play friendly matches against four teams.

They are the Swansea team in the British Championship, the Reading team in the British Championship, the Queen's Park Rangers who were promoted to the Premier League with them last season, and the League One team Charlton.

Swansea and Reading, the hard-fought pair, were beaten up by Norwich in the Championship play-offs last season, but they failed to make it to the Super League.

However, in the new season, the Rangers, Sheffield United and Norwich are no longer in the British Championship. The chances of their two brothers have greatly increased, and they are now actively preparing for the game.

When I heard that Sheffield United asked them to play a pre-season game, I agreed without saying a word.

The Rangers feel that Sheffield United's defensive ability is very good, and they are willing to play another friendly match with Sheffield United to test the team's offensive power in the new season.

Not to mention Charlton, just like Swansea and Reading's efforts to upgrade in the new season, Charlton is determined to reach the British Championship next season, and is currently actively preparing for the game. They can play a friendly match with Sheffield United. Naturally, it is impossible to ask for it.

Playing four games in half a month, this frequency is very appropriate. After all, the intensity of friendly matches is not much higher. All teams are watching the status of new aid and trial and error.

In the first game against Swansea, Speed ​​played the main formation of the new season, [-], and all the main players played in the first half.

However, this friendly match is mainly to practice the team's offensive ability, and the defensive end requires the two full-backs to attack significantly.

After halftime, Li Mo directly staged a hat-trick, Vardy also scored a goal, but Swansea also scored two goals.

This made the fans who watched the game very happy, and the offensive game must be better than the defensive game.

But Speed ​​didn't care about the feelings of the fans. In the second half, he waved his hand and almost replaced another group of different players.

Both Li Mo and Vardy took a break, but Trippier and Bertrand remained on the court.

After the second half, the two teams each scored two more goals. In the end, Sheffield United 6-4 Swansea and won the pre-season.

But Speed ​​was not very satisfied. It was fine to concede four goals on the defensive end. In this game, he should not have defended well, but he was not satisfied with the offense.

After Li Mo left the field, the offensive routines on the field seemed to be a lot less at once, and the crosses from the two full-backs were not too threatening. Compared with the first half, the offensive fluency was much worse.

But now Sheffield United's offense relies heavily on Li Mo's role as a fulcrum in the frontcourt and individual ability.

In this regard, Speed ​​and the coaching team can only formulate another offensive plan as soon as possible.

When Li Mo was not on the court, he launched a frontcourt attack based on Vardy's counterattack speed, and asked Ched Evans to attract firepower for Vardy and strive to improve counterattack efficiency.

This tactic was used in the second friendly match against Reading, and it had a certain effect. Vardy also succeeded in the counterattack and scored a goal in the first half.

But in the second half, after Li Mo replaced Ched Evans, Sheffield United's offense on the field came alive again. With Li Mo as the arrow, Reading scored three goals in the half. Shoot a pass, it seems that the kick is still very easy.

Bertrand and Trippier almost love Li Mo, as long as their crosses are reliable, Li Mo can always grab the first point.

Although there are reasons why the Reading team's defense is relatively weak, Li Mo's ability to grab points can also be seen.

In the Premier League next season, the number of assists they will have depends on Li Mo's condition.

Speed ​​was both happy and depressed about this, and finally he smiled wryly and shook his head. When Li Mo was on the field, it was difficult to ask other players not to rely on him.

But having said that, with a center like Li Mo, it is necessary to rely on it. I just hope that Li Mo's physical condition in the new season will be the same as he played in the British Championship last season, and try to play full time.

In the second friendly match, Sheffield United 4-2 Reading, and won another game.

In the third friendly match, facing the Rangers, Sheffield United finally rehearsed the anti-reverse play that they had prepared for a long time during the previous training.

But the Rangers also focus on defense, so this game was very dull.

Tarabut's state seems to be a bit problematic, and facing Medel, a tough midfielder who is more difficult than Matthew Lorton, he directly misfired.

Li Mo played the whole game, but what he mainly did in this game was to open up space for his teammates and play the ball. Matric and Vardy finally scored a goal in the counterattack, and Sheffield United also won 2-1 again. .

After playing this friendly match, Li Mo turned his attention to the national team. At this time, the Hua Guo team also finished the first round of the world preliminaries against Laos.

Both rounds led by a big score, and Yang Xu never let the fans down when it comes to dish abuse.

He scored five goals in two legs, including a hat-trick in the first leg.

In the next top [-] grouping, the Hua Guo team was assigned to Group A, and the opponents in the same group were Jordan, Iraq and Singapore.

Director Gao contacted Li Mo that night, and he didn't have to go back for the Singapore match.

And on September 9th, when he played against the Jordan team, it was his second appearance in the national team.
