Chapter 419 Two Finals, Three League Goals

"Speed ​​finally chose to stop. Lescott and Dembele are about to play. I don't know if Bayern will choose to give it a go at this time. Can Harvey Martinez still have a chance to play? ?”

Zhan Jun looked at Guardiola who called Schweinsteiger to the sidelines and kept explaining something, and was a little curious about how he would make tactical adjustments.

After missing the best opportunity for a counterattack in the first half, Bayern basically lost control of the game.

Sheffield United played calmly and pulled Bayern Munich into their defensive quagmire step by step.

Under the targeted counterattack tactics, Sheffield United, which has achieved a three-goal lead, will not give Bayern a "fair" chance to fight.

In the speculation and expectation of countless audiences, Guardiola did not replace Martinez in the end.

He chose to replace Lahm with Gotze.

"It seems that Guardiola will not try to make a high ball at the end. Gotze's play still needs to strengthen Bayern's vertical breakthrough and horizontal passing ability to involve Sheffield United's defense. There are still 10 minutes left in the game. , Bayern Munich don't give up easily!"

In fact, the German commentator is already frantically questioning Guardiola's tactical decision in his heart.

But he couldn't express it directly at this time.

On the contrary, he had to send expectations and blessings to Bayern, who continued to play pass control offense against his will.

But the German Bayern fans who are close to going berserk at this moment have no such concerns at all.

They started exporting like crazy on the Internet!

Before the start of this season, Guardiola said he respects Heynckes and Bayern's tradition.

He said that he will make further improvements on the basis of the tactics of the invincible Bayern team last season.

The Bayern fans believed it.

Even though doubts have always existed, most Bayern fans chose to trust the current "first young coach" who once brought Barcelona to the top of football.

Even in the middle of the season, the melon-style Bayern's style is becoming less and less "Bayernized". Even a Bayern fan can see the peculiar smell of the team.

But because the grades were okay, they endured it.

If they can win the Triple Crown again like last season, even if it feels awkward, they will 100% support Guardiola's "correct" transformation of Bayern.

But now the fact is clearly that Guardiola's set has ruined Bayern!

You know, among the teams that entered the semi-finals of the Champions League this year, not only Sheffield United is a club that is good at playing "running and bombing" and anti-reverse.

On the other side, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are also good at playing this game.

Bayern was beaten like this by Sheffield United, which seems to have the strongest defense and counterattack. Even if Sheffield United is not drawn in this round, the results against Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will not be much better.

It's nothing more than the difference between losing a few goals and making the score look a little better.

The reason is very simple. Sheffield United is playing this set to restrain your so-called pass-and-control technical football!

What makes Bayern fans feel angry and aggrieved is that Sheffield United's current tactics against them are the same tactics they played against Barcelona last season!

Where does this make sense!
Their Bayern was defeated by the most successful tactics they have ever used!
Then why did they bother to change this coach, why did they let Guardiola take over to do his tactical experiments!

Even if Heynckes really can't take it due to physical reasons, wouldn't it be nice to find Mourinho who is at home?

Even if Mourinho makes Bayern play more defensively, at least the essential style of hard bridge and hard horse is still there, the center forward plays more smoothly, and the header advantage will not be lost.

The fans of Bayern were really getting more and more angry. All of a sudden, Bayern's officials were pushed down, and almost all of them were written by the fans as a message to let Guardiola get out of get out of class!

At the moment at the Bramall Lane Stadium, Guardiola and his Bayern Munich have almost reached the end of the game.

Gotze's play did not play the role Guardiola imagined.

At least under the key "care" of the retreating Li Mo, it is difficult for Gotze to find a chance to get rid of the kick.

Both Neymar and Bell have already left the field. Lescott and Dembele replaced them with a central defender and a defensive midfielder. Sheffield United once again covered their front of the penalty area tightly.

Just look at the five-four-one formation, with five defenders and four midfielders, plus a Li Mo who has retreated to the top of his home circle, the defensive BUFF is directly full.

At this time, Bayern played more directly, played Harvey Martinez and substitute striker Pizarro, and then played a long pass, which was much more threatening than Guardiola's attack outside the penalty area.

Sheffield's ability to defend high balls is strong, but Bayern's ability to hit headers is not weak.

Mandzukic, Muller, Schweinsteiger, Martinez, Dante, Boateng, and a striker Pizarro, aren't they all ready-made players!
Speed ​​is planning to withdraw Trippier to Stones at the last moment, but the result is good, Guardiola doesn't bother to play headers.

The fans of Sheffield United were so happy to watch Bayern ruin what they do best.

When the on-duty referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Sheffield United fans at the scene were finally completely relieved and cheered and celebrated!
Never mind whether the Battle of Revenge is worthy of its name or not.

Sheffield United fans now want to see their team successfully reach the Champions League final without bloodshed!
Being able to win a 3-0 victory at home far exceeded their expectations before the game.

Now maybe only the Sheffield United players and Speed ​​are somewhat hypocritical, and I feel regretful that they failed to force a "normal" Bayern.

And the entire English football world was boiling and reveling because of Sheffield United's victory in the first round of the semi-final!
To put it bluntly, before the game, almost everyone thought that whether Sheffield United could win the Grand Slam honor this season basically depends on whether they can pass Bayern smoothly.

After Barcelona was defeated by Sheffield United, the two teams that can be called Sheffield United's strong opponents are Real Madrid and Bayern.

However, Real Madrid's performance in recent years has not been as strong as Bayern. Coupled with the fact that Bayern finally eliminated Sheffield United last season, everyone basically ignored Real Madrid and preferred to regard Bayern as Sheffield United's biggest enemy this season.

Now, this ultimate opponent was defeated by Sheffield United!
This kind of contrast and the huge sense of surprise made the media with the British directly shouted the slogan "bring the Champions League back to the Premier League" arrogantly!

As for the winner of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid?
They subconsciously ignored it.

After passing Barcelona and Bayern, can't you still pass Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid?

"Play casually in the final, Sheffield United must be the champion!"

With the second round of the semi-finals not yet played, similar expansive remarks have spread in English football.

After Speed ​​ended the first round of the battle with Bayern, Ansheng had a rare night of rest.

But when he got up the next day and saw the news page, he almost vomited out the simple meal he ate last night!
He can understand that the scene of last year's Champions League final between Bayern and Dortmund made the German media almost follow the scene for a year.

The British media has had a good taste for a year, and now they finally have the opportunity to play again.

Whether it's just venting or mocking old enemies, Speed ​​doesn't care.

What he cares about is that these idiot media even pull the banner of Sheffield United to blame Bayern, Real Madrid and even Atletico Madrid!

This is really grass!
Disgusting the clubs and fans over there, who will pay the bill in the end?
Anyway, whoever likes to take advantage of this will be the one who should be the one. Speed ​​would rather his team not be in the limelight, and he doesn't want to have a bad relationship with other clubs for no reason.

That morning, Speed ​​called Wang Mu, and then the Sheffield United club's public relations department went into full swing.

Li Mo woke up in the morning and saw that the public opinion in many English-language newspapers was in the wrong direction, so he hurriedly called Maguire and the old captain Morgan.

After reminding Speed, the three captains called the Sheffield United players one by one.

In addition to telling them not to accept media interviews casually in the near future, they are also asked to keep a "low profile" as much as possible.

It doesn't really matter what the public opinion is outside, it mainly depends on the thoughts of the players in the team.

As long as their internal public opinion environment is fine and does not affect the follow-up game preparations, then everything is OK.

But having said that, it is actually quite difficult to maintain the unity of thought and public opinion within the team for a long time.

Li Mo's approach is very "stupid" and very traditional, but I have to say that after calling one by one, the effect is good.

At least in the case of a general understanding of the external public opinion environment, they also know each other's thoughts.

On the first day of resuming the team's joint training, Li Mo called his teammates to open an internal meeting on the training ground again.

Communicating face to face, dispelling worries and suspicions, and finally, amidst the familiar jokes and laughter, they once again embarked on the stoic road of low-key preparations.

It's not that I don't want to stand under the spotlight and enjoy the joy of fame and fortune in advance.

It is that they have long understood a truth after repeated heart-to-heart communication and summaries of failures and successes.

No matter what event you participate in, if you are not the first among all participating teams in terms of overall dedication and sacrifice, then don't say that you have done everything when you cannot win the championship trophy that you have been thinking about.

It is actually a bit arbitrary to say this, but in the hearts of Sheffield United players, such a statement has become their creed.

"We're going to have the biggest party! Drink the best wine! Invite the most popular girls to the party! Then let the reporters of the Sun newspaper take pictures! Let them take pictures openly! Because by then we will already be the kings of Europe Now, we are qualified to pay for our carnival!"

When Vardy howled and yelled this slogan on the training ground, Speed ​​​​unsurprisingly cursed a few words, but then he also laughed.

Because he knows that his disciples have not forgotten the grand goals they set before the season!

They want carnival and parties, but they want champions more!

To all champions!

Holding this belief of persevering until the end, Sheffield United ushered in their No.30 opponent in the league, Cardiff City, only three days after the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.

In fact, Sheffield United can play casually in the league now.

As long as they don't lose, under this premise, they play more slowly and save energy, and the British media and Premier League fans have nothing to say.

But in order to help Li Mo break Messi's record, but also to create a brand new record of winning points in the five major leagues, which can hardly be broken again.

Sheffield United still showed a strong desire to fight against Cardiff City.

After only one year of promotion, Cardiff City, which may have to fall back to the British Championship, became ruthless and showed the tenacious performance and fierceness that a Premier League relegation team should have.

But Sheffield United did not head-to-head with Cardiff City in this game.

It's not that they dare not or are afraid of getting hurt.

But when Li Mo broke the deadlock with a free kick in the No.204 minute of the first half, Sheffield United successfully dragged the game into their favorite rhythm.

Fight back, fight back, fight back!

When all the Sheffield United players collectively sent shells to Li Mo again, when Speed ​​yelled for Li Mo to shoot more, when the Sheffield United fans showed their most passionate cheers to express their support for Li Mo .

Li Mo went berserk again!

Cardiff City adopted a thorough and resolute double-teaming tactic against Li Mo on the defensive end.

But under Li Mo's tyrannical attacks again and again, the gate of Cardiff City was opened twice again after all!

Li Mo scored two more goals in the 7th minute of the second half, No.603 minutes, and finally capped successfully, pushing his league goals this season to No.40!

Bell successfully connected with Li Mo once again, and raised his league assist data this season to No.17, firmly sitting at the top of the Premier League assist list!
And under him are Neymar who sent [-] assists and De Bruyne who sent [-] assists!
Sheffield United's players occupy the top three positions in the assist list, and they seem to be silently explaining Li Mo's goals this season.

Of course, there are more passers who are envious of Bell, Neymar and De Bruyne.

Because they believe that when the player in front of them is Li Mo, they can also play double-digit assist data.

But this matter, it can only be said that they complement each other, at least Li Mo never thinks that he can score so many goals because of him alone.

He admired the victory and glory of the team, and the Sheffield United team finally gave him super luxurious personal data back.

In terms of personal and team balance, it can be said that there is no better team in today's football than Li Mo and Sheffield United.

On the evening of April 4th, Sheffield United visited the Allianz Arena in Munich and played Bayern Munich in the second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final.

Guardiola directly used Muller and Harvey Martinez to start in this game. The tactical play is also somewhat similar to last season, advocating fast passing and advancing and the combination of side and center.

Bayern Munich, which seems to have regained some of the kingly spirit of last year, launched a massive attack on Sheffield United from the very beginning!

More than 6 Bayern fans also completely suppressed the voices of less than 1 Sheffield United fans.

They tried to make the Sheffield United players uncomfortable with boos and noise.

But Speed ​​put on a defensive posture from the very beginning.

The players of Sheffield United are not afraid of Bayern's mad attack.

Defensively deploy in the midfield and fight a tug-of-war with Bayern!

You want to attack after half court, yes, come on, fight me inch by inch!
Today it depends on who can fight better and top, Sheffield United is going to make the offensive and defensive rhythm extremely "bloody"!
Bayern held up halftime and did not collapse.

Ram led the Bayern players to fight with blood, and also with their pride and dignity!

But they failed to withstand Sheffield United's rushing goal shortly after the opening of the second half!
Bell did not send the ball directly to Li Mo's feet this time.

His cross was cleared by Boateng one step ahead at the back point, but the clearance was not far away. Matic outside the penalty area directly kicked the ball sideways!
Neuer saved the ball like a god!

But this time he changed his style, and Li Mo, who was running ghostly, subconsciously stretched out his foot to block after running to the most suitable position, blocking all Bayern's hopes of a comeback!
"4-0! 4-0! Li Mo killed the game! Sheffield United is about to go to the Champions League final——!!! In May, two finals! Three league goals! Li Mo is on the football stage The summit is only a stone's throw away!"

When Zhan Jun roared passionately, Li Mo also made a gesture of celebration near the bottom line.

He's watching his last stretch of the way to the summit!
It is also the ultimate road to honor for him and all Sheffield United players!
