Chapter 167 The real "ruthless man", Qian Derong, kills Manchester City!

"GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!! Li beat Kompany and scored with a header! Sheffield United took the lead at Manchester City's home court! Near the end of the first half, Manchester City could not attack for a long time, but Sheffield United was

Taking advantage of the opportunity, they once again launched a quick counterattack that they are good at, and Vardy assisted Li to score the first victory!"

Amid the deafening boos from the Manchester City home fans, Li Mo and Vardy held each other in their arms and raised their arms and shouted in the stands. Other Sheffield United players quickly rushed over to surround the two in a passionate celebration!

"Brother, you beat the best central defender in the Premier League right now! Damn it, you can jump half a head higher than him!"

Matt Ritchie patted Li Mo on the shoulder and excitedly compared the takeoff heights of Li Mo and Kompany with his hands.

Although he didn't hold the ball during the counterattack just now, he was also sprinting along the left wing, so he saw Li Mo's header from the frontcourt at close range.

Although Li Mo's headers were very impactful in the past, this time Li Mo overpowered Kompany and scored!

That is Kompany, who has been touted by the media since the beginning of the season and is known as the number one central defender in the Premier League this season!

"I'm sorry, please keep your voice down, otherwise the Manchester City defenders will have to focus on me later."

Li Mo originally felt very comfortable listening to Matt Ritchie's praise, but as soon as this guy opened his mouth, Medel and the others followed suit as if fearing that the world would not be in chaos.

He said things like "Kopany is nothing more than that" and "Li suppressed him without any pressure". Vardy even boasted and said, "I can do it myself." Hearing this, Li Mo quickly stopped these idiots.

His ability to score the goal over Kompany just now was due to the advantage of accelerating with all his strength and then taking off. Kompany almost took off on the spot. His physical fitness is indeed awesome. The static take-off confrontation put a lot of pressure on Li Mo.

It's okay for these idiots to go back to their own half and brag. They were so close to other Manchester City defenders and they spoke so loudly, as if they were afraid that others wouldn't know. Angering the Manchester City defenders would only make it more difficult for him to score again.

ah.

Wouldn’t it be nice to try it again later to prevent counter-attacks?

"You guys may have to face Manchester City's crazy attack next. Please pay attention. Several of their frontcourt players have very good skills. Don't be careless!"

After the celebration, Li Mo also pulled a few defenders and gave serious instructions.

At this time, Sheffield United entered the halftime break with a lead, which was to put more pressure on the Manchester City players. However, if Manchester City equalized the score before the end of the first half, then Manchester City would immediately gain momentum.

Several defensive teammates patted their chests and promised, and Li Mo also cheered them up. After a while, he slowly walked towards his own half.

The regular time of the first half was dragged down to only a few minutes. Aguero spread his hands and complained to the referee. The referee also signaled the Sheffield United players to get to their seats as soon as possible.

When the game started again, both Li Mo and Vardy retreated to their own half to help their teammates defend as best they could.

Speed ​​did not give such tactical instructions, but he was extremely satisfied with Li Mo's on-field choices and performance. The most important thing at this time was to maintain the one-goal lead. To maintain the lead for a longer period of time is to give Manchester City an extra period of time.

Time pressure.

When there is pressure, some people will be anxious, and when some people are anxious, they will make mistakes. If they make mistakes, Sheffield United will have more opportunities to counterattack, and it will be possible to further expand its lead!

This is a perfect cycle. Of course, the key point is that Sheffield United must be almost "perfect" on the defensive end. Except for the explosive performance of the stars, it does not give Manchester City any regular opportunities. In the first half, Sheffield United

The PHL backcourt players have undoubtedly done a great job at this point.

After Li Mo once again used a flying tackle to force back Nasri's dribble, the referee finally blew the whistle to end the first half. The Sheffield United players also high-fived passionately on the court, and then the Manchester City fans

Amid their middle fingers and boos, he walked into the tunnel with his head held high.

On the Manchester City team, Dzeko kicked the turf depressingly when he came off the field. After the "explosion period" at the beginning of the new season, his shooting feeling has not been very good. In fact, he also had some problems in the first half today.

There were several good shooting opportunities, but they were either too accurate or lackluster.

If he was like when he was playing at Wolfsburg, he could still take some time to find the feeling of shooting, but now he is at Manchester City!

His partner and biggest competitor Aguero is in good form, putting too much pressure on him, and Adam Johnson and Balotelli are also sitting on the bench.

This season Mancini mainly plays four, four and two, and Zhengyin only has two starting forward spots. If he continues to play in his current state, he may be pushed to the bench at some point. How can he not be in a hurry?

And Aguero is also a little depressed. He can't say he is dissatisfied with Dzeko, but Dzeko acted a little too "selfish" today. He is obviously in a better position, but after receiving the ball, Dzeko only has eyes for the goal.

It made him play a little unreasonably.

Mancini could naturally see the problem off the court. After returning to the locker room, he first calmed Dzeko's emotions and expressed his trust in Dzeko, and then directly implemented his tactics.

Adjustment.

In the second half, Aguero was the main point of attack, and Dzeko must use his fulcrum to create shooting opportunities for Aguero.

Mancini first gave Dzeko a sweet date to show that he still trusts him, and then asked Dzeko to assist Aguero in this game.

This is his request as the team's head coach. His purpose is to score points, at least not to lose points at home!

You can discuss other issues with Dzeko privately, but on the playing field, any player on the team must obey his tactical arrangements. This is non-negotiable.

With his tough attitude, Mancini quickly unified the team's offensive ideas in the second half.

With Silva as the core of the offense, Aguero, who is in better condition, takes on the important task of finishing. On the defensive side, De Jong is directly replaced at halftime, allowing De Jong to block Sheffield United's quick counterattack.

Regardless of whether he relies on conventional means or "unconventional" means, Mancini only wants one result, and that is to stop letting Sheffield United's counterattack pass through Manchester City's midfield so easily. He believes that De Jong will understand what he means.

"De Jong will play. Barry can't stop our counterattack at all. His speed is too slow, so in the second half, Mancini will replace De Jong sooner or later. Their fouls will undoubtedly increase, so we can

Just fight on the counterattack. If you really can't fight, just focus on set-piece tactics. Manchester City's high points are not many, at least not as good as ours. Li, don't hold on. As long as De Jong kicks you, you will directly play in their half.

Fall to the ground!"

Speed's hand slammed on the tactical board, and he specifically emphasized to Li Mo not to show off.

De Jong is such a ruthless person. He dared to kick Alonso's ribs in the World Cup finals. If this guy gets slapped in the head and Li Mo does the same, then Speed ​​may rush onto the field.

Show the audience what it means to be old and strong.

Not only Li Mo, but all the Sheffield United players Speed ​​have warned him: If De Jong commits a foul, he must avoid it as soon as possible when he makes a move. Health is the most important thing. At worst, avoid it.

After the game started, Sheffield United had another fight with the entire Manchester City team.

The young players of Sheffield United also thought of the tragic experience of Ben Arfa having his leg broken by De Jong last season. While they were indignant in their hearts, they agreed rationally to Speed.

When the two sides changed sides in the second half, the Manchester City team was replaced by De Jong. His shiny bald head and fierce appearance instantly cheered up the Sheffield United players.

Li Mo also looked at this "Nan Derong" up and down. He was indeed a little shorter, but his figure still looked very strong, and his ability to fight was pretty good.

As if feeling Li Mo's gaze, De Rong turned his head and looked over, showing a "core and kind" smile to Li Mo.

De Jong naturally knew Mancini's intention of sending him up.

However, these coaches are a little reserved and cannot express themselves clearly, but he understands it very well in his heart.

In addition to interfering with Sheffield United's counterattack speed, what he has to do is very simple, which is to watch Li Mo to death.

No matter what method is used, as long as he is not sent off with a red card, it will be considered a success, and this is what he is best at.

However, Li Mo raised his head slightly and showed a meaningful smile to De Rong, which made De Rong stunned.

He has been in the football world for many years and has gained a huge reputation. Whether it sounds good or bad, at least other offensive players will be a little wary of him, but Li Mo's performance is too awesome!

How dare you look at him and laugh?!

"interesting."

De Rong muttered something in his mind, and the expression on his face seemed to become more ferocious.

Li Mo snorted in his heart. To deal with such a so-called ruthless player, all he has to do is be more ruthless than him!

Afraid?

No, Li Mo was most familiar with the position of central defender. In the football world, fans often see offensive players being flagrantly fouled, but they rarely see central defenders being flagrantly fouled by others.

De Jong dares to break Ben Arfa's leg, but does he dare to bare his teeth at any Premier League center back?

If De Jong dares to show off in front of Li Mo today, then Li Mo will let him see the value of Sheffield United's "fifth central defender"!

After the game restarted, Sheffield United still tried to advance quickly from the wing.

But now Manchester City players are paying attention to the defense on the wing. With the assistance of De Jong, Yaya Toure stole the ball from Matt Ritchie.

When it was Manchester City's turn to attack, their tactical changes were quickly noticed by the Sheffield United players and Speed ​​off the field.

Dzeko honestly helped Aguero open up space and played support.

With good physical fitness and exquisite skills, Dzeko concentrates on playing ball for Aguero, which makes Manchester City's offensive threat index rise sharply!

After all, Dzeko is not a rough guy. He has very solid basic skills, exquisite and excellent foot skills, and is tall. Apart from being a little weak against Maguire, he can also header the ball to Aguero from time to time under the interference of Matic.

Or Silva creates opportunities.

Such an excellent center, as long as there is no problem with his mentality, can be of great help to the team's frontcourt offense. Although it is not as good as Li Mo, Dzeko's comprehensiveness is also quite good.

Aguero has been in good form recently and has regained his scoring touch after a few games of misfire. At least in this game, his shot is the most threatening in the Manchester City team.

Now Silva and Dzeko are taking turns to play for him, and the coach has almost given him unlimited firing rights. This has made Aguero's self-confidence soar to the highest point.

He came to the Premier League not to accompany him. Whether it was Rooney before or Robin van Persie and Li Mo now, he will surpass them all!

The pressure on Sheffield United's defense suddenly increased, and Maguire had to focus on marking Dzeko, but Matthew Lowton was really struggling to watch Aguero by himself, so Medel had to drop back to help mark Aguero.

But without Medel's interception and advancement in the right midfield, Sheffield United's formation could only be further compressed. The Manchester City fans at the scene watched the team's offensive, and finally suppressed Sheffield United in half.

A siege began, and thunderous cheers and applause erupted.

However, danger always appears when the prey relaxes their vigilance. Are Sheffield United the prey? It doesn't look like it, because Sheffield United is now very united and cautious.

On the contrary, it was Manchester City. In their eagerness to equalize the score, they made the same mistake they did when conceding the ball in the first half and pressed too close!

Technical advantage is one of the keys to victory or defeat on the football field, but tactically speaking, the better the technical team, the more they must pay attention to their offensive and defensive balance.

When Yaya Toure began to frequently intervene and Sheffield United tried to attack with the ball in the half, the Sheffield United players' eyes lit up. As the defensive pressure increased, the opportunities they saw also

More and more!

"Let them be anxious. The more anxious they are, the more likely they are to make mistakes. We don't necessarily have to seize all their opportunities to make mistakes, but once or twice, if we give them a fatal blow, we will win the game!"

The content of Li Mo's speech before the start of the second half and Speed's instructions once again appeared in the minds of all Sheffield United players.

The second half is about who makes the fewest mistakes. Sheffield United must base their efforts on defense and grit their teeth to withstand Manchester City's crazy attack during this period. Manchester City must try to equalize the score as soon as possible before 60 minutes, otherwise by then

Once the players' physical fitness declines and they cannot maintain the siege posture, they will be in big trouble.

The Manchester City players can only hope that before scoring, De Jong can watch Li Mo to death and not let Li Mo get another chance to sprint.

De Jong thought the same way. He stared at Li Mo. As long as Sheffield United had a chance to counterattack, he would block Li Mo's running route as soon as possible, and even make a decisive foul.

Because the fouls occurred near the center circle and the movements were not large, the referee had no intention of giving De Jong a card.
