Chapter 91 Goal, goal, or TMD, goal!
What does it mean to be a center forward?
Tactical fulcrum, retreat to make the ball, help open the defense when the winger cuts in, or pull the side to respond when the midfielder advances?
Perhaps these characteristics are the characteristics of centers that more and more "mainstream" coaches will value in the next ten years.

But for Li Mo, a center forward means that he is under pressure and will do whatever it takes to score a goal!

Is there anything more deterrent than the center forward position in the opponent's penalty area?

Football is an art. The way players play on the field and individual performances; the coach's pre-match tactical arrangements and on-the-spot tactical adjustments all make fans talk about it.

But the essence of competitive football is to win, to defeat opponents one after another, and to win the final victory and championship!
What process is actually bullshit.

Win the game, win the championship, and you've won it all!
The key to winning the game is always to score goals and defend, it's as simple as that.

Li Mo has always been called the "all-round center" of the British Championship by the outside media.

He can do almost anything.

Fulcrum, making the ball, pulling the side, responding, including passing, he can do it almost perfectly.

But if it is necessary to give Li Mo a unique label, then the media and fans will never mark the above-mentioned characteristics on him.

The deepest impression he left on people is his terrifying scoring efficiency and absolute dominance in the penalty area!
As long as he gets the ball in the opponent's penalty area, Li Mo's threat will always be the highest. His shooting skills have almost no dead ends, his left and right feet are balanced, and his header ability is superb. Every training he does is for the purpose of scoring goals. Serve the ball.

What Li Mo has to do today is very simple.

It's a goal, a goal, or TMD, a goal!
He wants to completely crush Swansea with a goal, and use the simplest and rude way of the center to end the game!
On May 5th, England time, at 7:12 noon, the last round of the British Championship started in 45 stadiums at the same time.

Sheffield United still has a 352 formation, and the lineup is exactly the same as the previous round of the league.

Swansea also put up a 352 formation, or a 532 formation closer to 352.

Because both of their flanks retreated deeper, it seemed that they were attacking the two flanks of Sheffield United.

The head coach of Swansea seems to have made a lot of tactical arrangements before the game.

They put up such a variant formation, but also took a gamble, betting that Sheffield United will continue to use 352.

Just from the opening point of view, Swansea's coaching team did a good job. The same three midfielders and two recovered wings one-on-one did make Sheffield United's midfield advantage look less great.

However, even if they were targeted, after grabbing the ball, Sheffield United still relied on Brother Drinking Water's scheduling ability to gradually gain the upper hand in midfield possession.

Swansea's current offense is still the same as in the first half, relying heavily on their striker Sinclair.

The buddy who was bullied enough by Li Mo and Matthew Lorton took turns to confront him before.

However, this little brother is also a big heart. He scored a total of 7 penalty kicks in the league this season, and he can be called the little prince of penalty kicks in the British Championship this season.

His total number of goals also just reached [-], ranking fifth in the league.

However, I don't know if it was because of the psychological shadow caused by Matthew Lorton and Li Mo before. Sinclair did not pull the side in this game and played his familiar left forward position. Instead, he stood in the position of the second forward, closer to the Sheffield United's central midfielder.

But in this way, Sinclair's speed advantage will not be able to be brought into play very much. Although he has avoided direct confrontation with Matthew Lorton, the opportunities he can get in the middle are naturally greatly reduced.

Drinkwater and Montgomery took him very seriously and would not give him a chance to rush.

As long as Sinclair is abolished, there may be only one Joe Allen in the Swansea team who is a bit of a threat, but the Welsh midfielder has not yet grown up, so he is a bit of a threat. Matthew Lorton and Montgomery will give him Take a good "lesson".

After gradually controlling the situation in the midfield, Drinkwater changed his practice of retreating the entire midfield position in the previous few games to attract the opponent to attack first, and directly called his teammates to press forward.

This is to put the offensive formation in the half of Swansea in the opening stage, and launch a siege posture!
Swansea's frontcourt players also had to retreat to help their midfield relieve the defensive pressure, leaving Sinclair at the forefront.

However, Montgomery also dragged on to the end, following Sinclair closely, for one-on-one marking.

Li Mo didn't retreat much at the beginning of the game today. He stood firmly half a step ahead of Swansea's back line, and Vardy retreated a lot instead.

"Lee doesn't look as active as usual, but he is clinging to the Swansea backline and looks like he is ready to attack the Swansea defense line at any time. Could it be that Speed ​​let Lee play in this game? Is all your energy spent on offense?"

The live broadcast commentary analyzed it jokingly, but it was indeed as he said, in this game, Speed ​​really let Li Mo go all out to attack the opponent's defense and score goals.

Without additional tactical tasks, every ounce of Li Mo's physical strength must be used on the most threatening offense, and Vardy will help him share most of the retreat and support work.

Li Mo is very quiet at the moment. He is always observing the situation on the field, Brother Drinking Water's position, receiving the ball, and the defensive movement of Swansea's midfielder.

Because the opportunity to attack often appears at that moment, whether it is a through pass or a pass from the edge to the bottom, Li Mo needs to move and start at any time.

In the opening No.13 minute, Stephen Quinn took the ball from the right side of the midfield. Matthew Lorton raised his hand and advanced, but Stephen Quinn suddenly took a step and made a long pass, hoisting the football to the edge of Swansea's penalty area .

Li Mo succeeded in turning offside almost instantly. Facing the lob, he turned half sideways and stopped the ball with his chest. His speed also slowed down a little, and he was instantly pasted by the Swansea defender.

At this moment he had just entered the penalty area, but the Swansea defender behind him blocked his turn, and there were other defenders next to him who wanted to step forward to steal the ball.

It was impossible to dribble the ball. With the interference from the Swansea defender behind him, Li Mo didn't wait for the football to land, and directly volleyed the half-high football towards the goal sideways!

The power of this shot is strong enough, but it is a bit too strong. In the end, it was almost higher than the crossbar, which shocked the Swansea goalkeeper. It also made the Sheffield United fans in front of the TV hug their heads and scream in regret. .

Li Mo slapped his palm hard, bowed his head and cursed secretly.

In this attack, he almost scored a goal!

There is no problem with the choice of shooting. After all, the ball is still in the air. If he stops the ball and takes it again, it will be too time-consuming. The Swansea defender on the opposite side is not dead. Three or even four people double-team and steal. No matter how strong he is There is also no guarantee of taking the ball out.

There is not much pressure on him to shoot alone. He has scored too many similar goals before, but this shot was not well suppressed, which is a pity.

Shaking his head, Li Mo then gave Stephen Quinn a thumbs up, and then slowly backed away, waiting for the Swansea goalkeeper to kick off.

This shot really scared the Swansea fans on the scene into a cold sweat.

Still can't let Li Mo get such an opportunity, it's too scary!

Carrying a man, he hit the ball directly after stopping the ball with his chest. The quality of the shot was very high, and in the end it was just barely higher than the crossbar. If the ball was hit within the goal range, it would probably bounce into the net.

As for the goalkeeper save?Li Mo shot from such a distance, and I haven't seen any goalkeeper who can pounce.

After fear, the Swansea fans booed Li Mo on the field again.

Li Mo smiled again when he retreated, which made the live commentary discover.

"Lee really has a big heart! Facing the boos of more than 2 Swansea fans, he didn't seem to be affected at all. The shot just now is a good proof. It was too beautiful, but it was a pity. After a little bit, I personally think that Swansea fans should stop this meaningless behavior as soon as possible. Lee was not frightened, but he seemed to be irritated. The pressure to face is too great.”

The live broadcast commentary is more kind, but the Swansea fans can't hear his voice, and even if they hear it, they won't stop booing as he said.

The old god Speed ​​was sitting on the coach's bench, squinting his eyes, watching the situation on the field, not worried at all.

The players of Sheffield United are also step by step, maintaining a suppressive posture against Swansea in a calm manner.

In modern football, those who win the midfield win the world, this sentence makes sense.

After Sheffield United took the initiative in the midfield, Drinkwater dealt the cards, Matridge and Matthew Lorton, and Stephen Quinn, who pressed forward, all got a lot of good opportunities.

Vardy actively retreated to the side to respond, so that the frontcourt offense did not lose touch. They began to attack Swansea's defense wave after wave like waves.

If Li Mo's shot just opened the prelude to the attack, then now, the game has officially entered the rhythm of Sheffield United's offensive drama.

In the 17th minute of the first half, Matt Ridge passed someone on the left and made a cross. Li Mo rushed forward and the football brushed the side net and went out of the baseline. The Swansea fans once again exclaimed and booed.

No. 19 minutes, 2 minutes after Li Mo scored, Sheffield United made a comeback, Stephen Quinn and Li Mo passed consecutively on the edge of the penalty area, and finally Li Mo suddenly returned the ball, and Drinko A one-step push in the penalty area, but unfortunately was cleared by the Swansea defender and kicked out of the sideline.

No. In 203 minutes, Drinkwater made a through pass again. After Vardy got the ball, he volleyed from the left area outside the penalty area. The Swansea goalkeeper hit the ball in embarrassment.

In just ten minutes, Sheffield United played several very threatening attacks. The key point is that the Sheffield United players seemed not to be tired. After losing the ball, they immediately launched a counterattack on the spot. attack.

It's like not giving Swansea's defensive players a moment of rest!
In this high-intensity offensive and defensive rhythm, players on both sides maintained a high degree of nerve tension.

Li Mo's ball and fierce impact made Swansea's defenders miserable, but they could only bite the bullet.

Before the game, they thought about whether they could start a confrontation with Sheffield United, but now it seems that they are thinking too much.

The midfielder was suppressed too badly!
Now Swansea's defense is like a spring, constantly being beaten and compressed by Sheffield United's offense.

When this spring can't withstand the pressure and can no longer be compressed, it's time for Sheffield United to smash it!
