Chapter 10

Scored consecutive goals

"We will equalize the score, but you have to cheer up, Harry! We are a whole. If we lose, we will lose together. People will remember your mistakes and more importantly, our team's failure.

But you know, you are not a loser, neither of us are, I want to win, just like we did in the youth team, it was just one mistake, forget about him, let's win this game together!"

Li Mo hugged Harry Maguire's shoulders and said that he was actually a little speechless, but complaining at this time will only make things worse, and Maguire is still his friend, so he can only comfort him first. If Harry

Guell cannot perform normally in this game, so it will be useless no matter how well they perform in the frontcourt.

After all, defense is the foundation of a team. Only by laying this foundation well can offense bring victory.

Maguire took a deep breath, and his confused eyes gradually sobered up. It's not that Li Mo's words of advice could have such a big effect. It was just a sudden mistake that caused Maguire's brain to shut down.

, he is a smart person and knows how to regulate his emotions. He has obviously recovered at the moment.

"You're right, Li, being nervous will only bring bad results. Now the situation won't be worse. Don't worry, I know what to do, trust me."

Maguire patted Li Mo on the shoulder, and then pushed Li Mo forward, "Let's work hard together, I won't let them pass me by anymore, you also try to score early, we must win

Win this game!”

Chris Morgan stood aside. He was a little worried at first, but now he saw that Maguire seemed to have returned to normal and showed fighting spirit. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Mo has always been the captain of the youth team. After Maguire came to the team, he took on the position of vice-captain as soon as he was promoted to U16. Now it seems that it makes sense for the youth team coach to do this. These two people have the same characteristics.

Players with leadership qualities that are inconsistent with their age will not have to worry about being defeated by mistakes.

The Reading team's celebration only lasted a minute or two. Soon the players from both sides returned to their positions to wait for kick-off. The live broadcast cameras frequently focused on Maguire, who had just made a mistake and missed the ball, but now Maguire's face

But he did not show any anxiety or annoyance. He looked very calm, and Li Mo also stood at the kick-off point in the center circle, applauded and shouted to his teammates, encouraging them.

After kicking off again, Sheffield United's formation slowly opened up, and Li Mo seemed to be more active. He was not limited to being active in the middle of the frontcourt. He retreated to the midfield from time to time to help the team transfer the ball. Although he

His passing ability is not very high, but it is above the average level of the British Championship. Thanks to his broad vision, he has also found several routes for the ball and successfully transferred it.

The Reading team originally wanted to continue attacking Maguire to see if they could get another miraculous effect, but Sheffield United now has almost five people controlling the field in the middle. They have fewer opportunities to get the ball, and occasionally make a few long passes.

Maguire also steadily grabbed some points and pushed them back.

Li Mo is very strong and has strong confrontation ability, but visually gives people a strong and flexible feeling. Maguire is the opposite. He is not yet 18 years old and is already over 1.9 meters tall. His body is very wide, especially that

The big head gives people a strong sense of impact when fighting for the top. The Reading forward next to him seems to be smaller in front of him.

If it weren't for that slightly immature face, almost no one would have thought that the boy who was fiercely fighting for the top on the court at this moment was still underage.

Speed ​​looked at the situation on the field and finally let go of his worries. The tactical effect he wanted was slowly achieved.

Maguire's aerial challenge prevented Reading's long pass from flying to the threatening area. If it were on the ground, Sheffield United would have six players positioned in the defensive third zone when defending. Montgomery, the midfielder in front of the defense, was

At the first barrier, Chris Morgan and Noseworthy are experienced behind them. Maguire and Matthew Lowton are decisive and destructive. Apart from the previous mistake, Maguire's current performance is almost as good as

Called perfect, this line of defense has taken initial shape.

Stephen Quinn is also experienced and does not have too much entanglement with the Reading team in the midfield. He has moved the sides many times, coupled with Li Mo's retreat, for a while, causing damage to the Reading team's wing and rib area.

Made several threatening passes.

But the problem also lies here. Li Mo has watched many games of outstanding centers in his previous life, especially those of Ibrahimovic and Kane who later transformed. Their kicks after retreating can bring great help to the team, and their playing style is also very good.

It's very reasonable. With more opportunities, the probability of scoring will naturally increase greatly, but now Sheffield United has no reliable scoring points except him.

After Kane withdraws, there will be Son Heung-min in front of him. After Ibrahimovic withdraws, he will also have reliable young players in front of him. However, in front of Li Mo, there is Ched Evans, and there is another who occasionally intervenes.

Jamie Ward, neither of them are efficient shooters. At this moment, Li Mo saw that Ched Evans had finally caught a ball from him, but finally got off the ground due to the interference of the Reading defender. He couldn't help but scratch his head.

Picked his forehead.

He is only seventeen years old. He just wants to play reasonably. What is wrong with him?

No choice, I still have to do it myself.

Li Mo followed the same position as in the previous training, almost standing on a parallel line with Ched Evans, but slightly behind him. He began to get close to Reading's full-backs, without moving forward or looking for gaps.

, running without the ball in front of the full-back.

Seeing this, the Reading team's central defender stopped sticking to prevent him from losing his position. Before the game, the coach asked them to pay more attention to Li Mo's running. If he runs into an open position, try to double-team him. Now Li Mo follows.

Their full-backs were running and there was no movement forward, so he naturally stopped paying too much attention.

Andy Taylor on the left side of Sheffield United has limited offensive capabilities, and now his main focus is on the defensive end. Therefore, Stephen Quinn mostly chooses to launch attacks from the right side.

Matthew Lowton got a lot of opportunities to go forward in this game. Although he hasn't played as a right back for a long time, after getting used to it for a while, he has the same sense of fun as playing full back in the youth team.

Because of his tough defense and good physical fitness, he later switched to playing as a central defender, but he still had the drive to push forward, so when he played as a central defender later, he was scolded by the coach many times for pushing forward, but Speed ​​took a fancy to him.

This trait allowed him to liberate his nature.

After Matthew Lowton got the ball again, he quickly dribbled the ball past half-time. At this moment, Jamie Ward approached him to respond. However, Matthew Lowton looked at the space where Reading midfielder approached Jamie Ward.

The ball was lying on the wing and he chose to hit hard.

He is relatively fast and has a strong body. The Reading midfielder who stepped forward to intercept was almost knocked away by him. Although he himself was pushed out of the sideline, the football was still running forward.

Shulton adjusted his body shape and ran forward from the sideline again, but at this time, Reading's midfielder was too late to intercept.

On the field at this moment, Matthew Lowton continues to dribble the ball down. In the center of the field, Reading's midfielder is quickly returning to defense. Jamie Ward and Stephen Quinn are running to cover it, while Ched Evans has already raised his head.

He got entangled with a Reading center back, and only Li Mo started running towards the Reading penalty area unhurriedly.

But he did not run directly to the hinterland of Reading's penalty area like an ordinary forward, waiting for the pass. Instead, he ran close to Reading's full-back. This caused Reading's full-back to find himself in a dilemma.

To his side, Li Mo was almost marching next to him. In front of him, Matthew Lowton was slowly advancing with the ball. Seeing that he was about to reach the cross area, he could only retreat and did not dare to

Grab it.

The Reading team's center back is even more frustrated. Li Mo doesn't run to the center! If Li Mo runs to the center, he and the full-back can directly attack. But in this situation, he can only watch the attack come up.

Jamie Ward gradually opened up a large space between him and his own full-back.

Li Mo didn't seem to see the space to move forward. He was still close to Reading's full-back. When he was approaching the edge of the penalty area, he suddenly slowed down, as if he paused. At this moment, Reading's

The center back gently pushed Jamie Ward who was leaning in front of him, and his figure seemed to be delayed for a moment. In just a second or two, Li Mo suddenly pointed forward, and then pushed forward resolutely, passing the previous

That space between the Reading centre-backs and full-backs.

Matthew Lowton has been observing Li Mo's movement. When he saw Li Mo pointing his finger forward, he naturally would not miss this opportunity and immediately gave a through ball that was drawn inwards. The football came from the Reading full-back.

The ball passed by him quickly, and he had no time to tackle it. He could only look back and saw a figure wearing No. 17 quickly receiving the ball and entering the penalty area!

Speed ​​had already left the coaching bench when he broke through from Matthew Lowton. At this moment, he was standing on the sidelines, staring at Li Mo successfully receiving the ball and entering the Reading penalty area. He couldn't help but clenched his fists and held his breath.

Breathing, he didn't even dare to take a breath. Like him, there were countless Sheffield United fans in the stands at this moment. After screaming, they covered their mouths one after another, for fear that their voices would affect Li Mo's

choose.

After Li Mo got the ball, he raised his head and quickly glanced at the goal. To be honest, the angle of the ball was not good. Reading's center back also gave up on Jamie Ward at this moment and rushed towards him quickly. The Reading goalkeeper in front of the goal

He had no intention of attacking and almost blocked the near corner of the goal.

If he passes the inverted triangle at this moment, Jamie Ward may get a good shooting opportunity, but for a center, after entering the penalty area, all angles are options for them to shoot. If they don’t even have this confidence

, what kind of center?!

Li Mo adjusted the pace of his feet. Reading's center back made a tackle decisively. He didn't know if he could get the ball, but this was the only way he could choose. Li Mo didn't seem to see it.

After adjusting one step, he did not choose to volley the far corner of the goal with his right foot. Instead, he used the outer instep of his right foot to make an arc. After completing the shooting action, he jumped up slightly and avoided the tackle of the Reading center back.

.

Reading's goalkeeper quickly got down to the ground. He took a gamble that Li Mo would hit the near corner, but after seeing Li Mo shoot with the outside of his instep, he could only stretch his hand as much as possible in despair, trying to interfere with the football, but

In the end, he didn't hit anything. He looked back and saw that the football had drawn a wonderful arc and gently hit the net!

Li Mo scored consecutive goals!
Chapter completed!
