Chapter 70 Great assist!

"Lee hasn't had a shot so far. If many centers don't have a shot on the court, they may only provide a fulcrum in the frontcourt, but Lee has used his passing and ball-making to connect Sheffield United's frontcourt. This

This is not what a center should do at all. In this game, Li played more like a midfielder, or in other words, a center who retreated to the midfielder position?!"

The commentator said with some uncertainty, after all, it is not like in the past few years, it is still relatively rare for a center to drop back and take on some frontcourt organization tasks.

Speed ​​gave Li Mo a high degree of freedom in the frontcourt, which gave Li Mo the opportunity to try like this.

In fact, Li Mo was imitating Kane's kicking style later.

Because Sheffield United now has the same problem as Tottenham after Mourinho took office.

There is one less player in the frontcourt who can pass the final ball.

Since Eriksen left, Tottenham can only rely on Kane's constant retreat to pass the ball to Son Heung-min.

Currently, Sheffield United has never had a player in the No. 10 position.

When Drinkwater originally played as a central midfielder, his focus was on organizing the team, and he could occasionally provide shells to Li Mo.

Now that he is positioned further back, Stephen Quinn can only assist in the midfield operation, and there is no one for Li Mo to pass through.

Of course, in Speed's offensive system, the two wings' support for Li Mo is the most important.

And when it comes to passing threatening balls, in the opponent's defensive third zone, Li Mo's threatening balls are really the most comfortable.

There is no way. Ability determines the responsibility. Li Mo can only be the center and midfielder now.

Fortunately, the effect of kicking was always good, so Speed ​​just let Li Mo play like this.

After scoring the goal, Matt Ritchie pointed at Li Mo, and the two laughed and clapped and hugged in the corner flag area.

Other players also gathered around one by one.

The familiar offensive feeling is back. Playing around Li Mo, everyone does their job. Li Mo can always create opportunities, play easily and score goals. It's so comfortable.

After the Sheffield United players finished celebrating and there was not much time left in the first half, the referee looked at the clock and played for a few more minutes before blowing the whistle to end the game.

When Li Mo came off the field, he waved his arms to the fans in the stands to encourage their enthusiasm.

Although he only had one game off, he missed the cheers on the court so much. He couldn't get enough of the fans' support.

During the halftime break, Speed ​​didn't make many tactical adjustments. He just reminded the players in the backcourt not to relax their vigilance. Cardiff City, the opponent's team, ranked fourth in the league in terms of goals scored this season and their offensive ability was still very strong.

A score of 1-0 is the most unsafe. We still have to strive for at least one more goal in the second half. It is not the style of Speed ​​and Sheffield United to be conservative when leading by one goal. As for goals, of course the more the better.

In terms of offense, they did well in the first half, but Speed ​​still made a request to Li Mo, "You have to be more aggressive. You kid didn't forget to bring your shooting boots today."

Hearing Speed's joke, Li Mo had no choice but to show his hands. His opponent kept double-teaming him and would rather let other Sheffield United players shoot than give him a chance. He is not a superman, and it is still difficult to take advantage of the defense of two people.

of.

However, it is impossible for the opponent to maintain such a high-intensity double-teaming on him throughout the game. Li Mo has always been patient enough for opportunities. If he is more patient in the second half, he can always wait for the right opportunity.

For example, if the opponent is lagging behind, they have to find a way to attack, right?

Whether it is an offensive attack or a defensive counterattack, when the opponent's midfielder reaches the area in front of the penalty area, there will be a certain gap.

Sheffield United has two long-passers in the backcourt, Drinkwater and Maguire. As long as they can intercept the ball once and pass it to Li Mo, Li Mo will be sure to have a fight with Vardy.

"Blitzkrieg".

When the second half of the game started, Cardiff City chose to attack at the beginning.

However, Drinkwater and Montgomery were very focused. Together with Stephen Quinn who was retreating, their coverage and interception in front of the penalty area defused most of Cardiff City's offensive.

This is also the advantage of the double midfielder lineup. Although the offensive end relies more on the advancement of the wing and the forward retracement to get the ball, on the defensive end, it can help relieve more pressure on the back line.

Cardiff City's attack was unfavorable, and the forward pressure of the formation also allowed Li Mo to find an opportunity. He took the ball and tried a long shot outside Cardiff City's penalty area.

However, the force of the kick was a little too strong, spinning a little higher than the crossbar, and finally flew into the stands, scaring the Cardiff City goalkeeper into a cold sweat.

But there is no way. If you have to invest troops on the offensive end, there will naturally be fewer people on the defensive end. If you cannot attack for a long time, you will naturally have to withstand the threat of counterattacks from your opponent.

Cardiff City doesn't have any defensive stars who can rely on their personal abilities to hold off the counterattacks of Li Mo and Vardy. They can only pray that the players in the backcourt will try to interfere with Li Mo's ball before the goal is scored.

However, Drinkwater gradually started to feel better in the defensive midfielder position, making Cardiff City's offense unable to produce results.

Brother Drinkwater is different from those players who retreat from the front midfielder. After all, his physical fitness and defensive ability are not weaknesses.

Although he is less than 1.8 meters tall, Drinkwater's weight is close to 80 kilograms. His fighting ability is not very strong, but it will not hold him back.

Abundant physical fitness and good positional sense allow him to cover a considerable defensive area.

Coupled with Montgomery's interception ability, the two of them almost built a defensive wall in front of the penalty area.

In the 63rd minute of the second half, after another successful interception, Montgomery did not pass the ball across to Drinkwater.

Cardiff City players immediately double-teamed Drinkwater after losing the ball. Montgomery knew that the opponent wanted to destroy Sheffield United's backcourt organization, so he directly passed the ball back to Maguire, who was eager to take a try.

In this game, Maguire has not yet used his ability to pass forward. When he got the ball, he looked up and made a long pass.

In the past, Sheffield United's long passes in the backcourt were usually directed to Li Mo first. However, Maguire passed the ball to the other side, and Vardy was moving forward at high speed in the path of the ball.

Li Mo's running position was slightly further back. He took away the attention of the two defensive players, allowing Vardy to smoothly get the ball on the sideline.

With no one watching, Valdis spread his legs and dribbled the ball along the wing. Li Mo, who was in the middle, trotted forward and approached Cardiff City's penalty area.

One of the two central defenders in the penalty area went to press Vardy, while the other stared at Li Mo.

After Vardy cut inside, before the opponent's central defender came out, he passed the ball to Li Mo, who was turning his back in the penalty area.

Seeing this, Li Mo opened his hands to block the interfering Cardiff City central defender behind him, and also blocked another Cardiff City full-back who wanted to steal the ball behind him.

Then he faced the incoming ball, pushed it slightly, and sent the ball diagonally forward, and Vardy ran in that direction.

At the front of the penalty area, in an unguarded position, Vardy chose to shoot directly into the far corner of the goal without stopping the ball!

The football drew a wonderful arc and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

Cardiff City's goalkeeper tried his best to save the ball, but failed to touch the ball and could only watch the ball go into the net.

This ball was hit into an absolute blind corner, and the quality of the shot was perfect!

This attack relied on three people and three passes. The counterattack was incredibly efficient!

Li Mo smiled and celebrated with Vardy on the sideline. The smile on his face seemed to be telling the Cardiff City coach: "Don't defend, don't defend. If you keep guarding us, you will still have to concede the ball. Believe it or not?"

Hey, I got two assists easily, great!

I am working hard to save the manuscript, and I should write a speech about Sanjiang tomorrow. Brothers, please vote, (′‵)~
