Chapter 42 Carnival of Domestic Fans
"We were right, he succeeded, Gary!"
The assistant coach jumped up from the coaching bench excitedly and hugged head coach Speed passionately.
Although the coaching staff previously agreed that Vardy has the ability to establish himself in the English Championship, external reports have been too negative and the club has not said anything, but there has always been a lot of pressure on them.
It was Vardy's hard training and weight gain, his meticulous correction of bad playing habits, and his attitude of actively integrating into the team that gave them more and more confidence.
Now, it’s finally time to reap the fruits of all the trust and patience you’ve put in.
On the court, Sheffield United players also gathered around. They hugged Vardy one by one, patted him on the head and shoulders, laughed and encouraged loudly:
"Well done Jamie, I knew you could do it!"
"Nice shot, come on Jamie!"
"What did I say before? The boss's vision is not wrong. As soon as Jamie came here, I said he would definitely succeed!"
"Come on, Stephen, you clearly said before that the boss was wrong this time!"
"Fake! Matthew, don't speak."
Amid the roar of laughter from the crowd, Vardy lifted up his jersey, wiped his face hard, and then started laughing too.
He patted Li Mo's arm to indicate that he was fine. When Li Mo saw this, he patted Vardy on the shoulder and walked back with everyone.
Give Vardy some time alone to face the fans.
A round of applause began to ring out in the stands, and then spread, and the cheers were gradually replaced by applause.
Vardy faced the fans who were applauding in the audience and did not make any unnecessary movements. He directly patted his chest and then kissed the team emblem on the chest of his jersey deeply.
Sheffield United took him to the stage of the English Championship, and the fans gave him support. All he could do was to repay their loyalty.
Speed's heart, which had always been hanging on him before, finally calmed down at this moment, feeling extremely at ease.
"It's done!"
After the transformation of the left wing and midfielder, the last piece of the puzzle for the team to surpass the league, the forward line, was finally reorganized successfully.
Vardy will be Li Mo's best helper, and Li Mo will be able to fully utilize his abilities!
Although this is only Vardy's first goal, Speed has already seen the huge threat of this striker combination.
In the future, all teams that want to double-team Li Mo must carefully consider whether they can withstand the consequences of being surprised by Vardy.
And if Li Mo was not double-teamed, Speed would be even happier.
As for Li Mo's terrifying scoring efficiency in the penalty area, just pass the ball around him and deliver the shells. The offense is so unpretentious and effective~
"Jamie scored in just 13 minutes of his first appearance. Li's state seems to have no ups and downs. His performance is too stable. There should be no problem in this game."
The assistant coach is very happy. He has put a lot of effort into Vardy's training during this period. He is very pleased to see Vardy performing so well.
Speed waved his hand, "Don't be careless. Scoring a goal is not a guarantee. We have to try to score another goal in the first half, so that the game in the second half will not be difficult."
After saying that, Speed waved his hand on the sidelines, indicating that the team should continue their offensive.
There is no such thing as favor in the professional league, at least not here in Speed. If you have the chance, just stab him a few times! Only a dead opponent is a good opponent.
This round of the English Championship started relatively late. It was almost nine o'clock in the evening in England. In China, fans watching this game had to stay up until nearly four o'clock in the morning.
But it doesn't matter today, because today is already the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.
As the New Year approaches, businesses and institutions of all sizes and schools are already on holiday.
The nationals have been busy for a year, and it is finally time to take a good rest. Fans also have enough time to stay up late and watch the game with confidence.
In addition to watching their respective home teams play, what fans across the country are most concerned about now is definitely Li Mo's Sheffield United.
However, in 2011, there were still very few domestic TV stations broadcasting Premier League games, let alone the English Championship. Many fans could only find live broadcast sources on the Internet.
Yuan Hua was sitting in the study with his father at the moment, watching the broadcast on the computer screen, the picture quality was not good.
Yuan Hua, the English commentator, can understand everything. His English scores have always been very good. He also likes to watch a lot of English programs after class. He is currently doing simultaneous translation for his father.
"Well, this English commentator knows football very well. Our Xiao Li's tactical role must be the most important in the Sheffield United team. Only if Xiao Li performs well will Sheffield United have a chance to win, right?"
Father Yuan was sitting on a chair, cracking melon seeds, and said vaguely.
As a person reaches middle age, his energy is much less than before, but he still set an alarm clock tonight and got up to watch football.
He was still a little confused at first, but as soon as he saw the game started, he became energetic and quickly asked his son to translate and explain at the same time. Everyone listened with great interest.
"But can this Vardy partner with Xiao Li? I would say Sheffield United is the same. No matter how poor they are, they won't be so picky. Can't they find a more reliable partner for our Xiao Li? It's really not possible.
Forget about Ched Evans.”
Father Yuan started to complain again, which made Yuan Hua's mouth twitch.
The older generation hardly pays attention to foreign news. Yuan Hua does know that Vardy is the striker appointed by coach Speed, and that Sheffield United's current financial situation is not very good, but his father does not care about this.
Yuan Hua knew that it was useless to force explanations, so he didn't say much. He just clicked on the post bar on his mobile phone and looked at the posts in the forums of the major teams.
Sure enough, there are many posts discussing tonight's Sheffield United game.
After the last round of games, Li Mo's statistics have reached 12 goals and four assists in ten games. Although it is only in the English Championship, it also gave domestic fans a shot in the arm.
In the 2000-2001 season, Xie Hui scored 14 goals in the Bundesliga 2, which was also the single-season scoring record for domestic players in the second-level competitions of the five major leagues.
As for the single-season scoring record for domestic players in the five major leagues, Yang Chen scored 8 goals in Frankfurt in the Bundesliga in the 1998-99 season.
Li Mo is not yet 18 years old, but it looks like he is about to break Xie Hui's record ten years ago.
If Sheffield United plays in the Premier League next season, fans can still look forward to seeing if Li Mo can break Yang Chen's scoring record in his first season in the Premier League.
In addition to the exclusive interview about Li Mo that Channel 5 previewed a few days ago, which will be broadcast after the year, Li Mo's popularity is definitely ranked first in the domestic football circle.
Yuan Hua was naturally delighted about this. He was Li Mo's personal forum owner in China. The better Li Mo performed, the more proud and happy he felt.
While he was browsing Tieba, the father next to him suddenly slapped his thigh hard, causing him to tremble in pain.
"What a ball! Xiao Li's ball play and vision are amazing!"
Huge cheers came from the computer speakers at the right time. Yuan Hua looked again and saw Li Mo and Vardy running on the sidelines to celebrate, and the score on the field had become 1-0.
"Sheffield United scored? Was it Xiao Mozi?"
"The goal was scored, but it was Vardy who scored. Hey! This guy is very good at moving, thanks to Xiao Li's assist."
Dad Yuan replied with a smile. After hearing this, Yuan Hua looked at the mobile phone post bar again.
Posts popped up like mushrooms after a rain, Li Mo had another assist, and domestic fans also started a carnival on the Internet.
Chapter completed!
