Chapter 74 Old acquaintance

After the victory over Preston, the English media praised Sheffield United lavishly.

The whole text of praise made Li Mo feel numb. He also said that if Speed ​​had promoted Li Mo earlier and changed tactics earlier, Sheffield United might still be competing with Rangers for the championship now.

Damn it, this is naked flattery.

These media outlets have had enough to eat and have nothing to do, so they want to publish every bit of controversial news.

As expected, other fans from the top six teams in the English Championship soon had trouble with Sheffield United fans on the Internet.

Fortunately, the players still maintained their normalcy. Speed ​​even bluntly said that these reports were bullshit. The local media in Sheffield also called on the fans to unite together and not to be affected by outside remarks.

After all, only three teams are promoted from the English Championship every season. Sheffield United is currently ranked second in the league and has a great chance of directly entering the Premier League. It is normal to be envied by others.

The final sprint is about to begin, and Sheffield United players who like to go out are staying at home and resting honestly these days.

When all the players returned to the club to start recovery training, Speed ​​watched everyone talking and laughing. They seemed not to be affected by the outside world, and he was still very satisfied.

In the midst of substantial preparation training, the time has also arrived on April 23.

In the 43rd round of the British Championship, Sheffield United welcomed Bristol City at home.

This is Li Mo's "old acquaintance".

Last year, Li Mo's first appearance in the Championship was against Bristol City. At that time, Sheffield United was still 0-2 behind. Li Mo finally helped the team equalize the score. It was also because of this game that he became famous with one goal.

.

Now facing Bristol City, the situation of Li Mo and Sheffield United is different, but Bristol City is still at the bottom of the league.

However, Bristol City currently leads the relegation zone by 11 points and is not in danger of being relegated.

As for Bristol City's players, especially Bitwin, who has already secured his starting position, their emotions will be much more complicated when they face Li Mo and Sheffield United.

Who would have thought that the young boy they faced back then would now be the top scorer in the English Championship.

In twenty-two games, he scored twenty-six goals and had nine assists. For a player in the English Championship, this is a terrifying figure.

Sheffield United also started a miraculous counterattack after playing against them, going from last place in the league to defeating countless powerful opponents and now ranking second in the league.

When they met in the 19th round of the league, they were still brothers in distress, but now they are in the sky and the other is on the ground.

The feeling is really hard to describe.

The game still started at three o'clock in the afternoon. It was rare to have some sunshine today. Players from both sides expressed great satisfaction with the weather.

Sheffield United and Bristol City both played a 4-4-2 formation today.

After taking a rest, Vardy was full of energy and started again with Li Mo. Midfielder Stephen Quinn returned to the right wing. Today, the central defender is partnered by two veterans who had rested in the previous round.

Maguire was caught by Speed ​​for so long and finally got a rest.

Bitwin has also scored ten goals this season, but Bristol City now only relies on him to support the offensive line, and the threat is not great.

After the game started, Drinkwater retreated to organize, and the Sheffield United midfielder did not launch a fierce attack from the beginning.

Bristol City's pressing was not fierce. Seeing this, Drinkwater began to press forward slowly.

Matt Ritchie also began to take the ball to test Bristol City's defense.

Now Sheffield United's opening attack is almost all completed by Matt Ritchie, and the advancement from the left wing is also one of the regular routines of Sheffield United's attack.

Although Vardy's dribbling ability needs to be improved, the speed of him and Matt Ritchie will give any wing defender a headache.

Li Mo is still standing in front of the penalty area in the middle.

As long as he stays in this place now, the defender will not dare to double-team Sheffield United's wing attackers easily. Moreover, in this position, he can easily pull out and drop back to receive the ball at any time.

Matt Ritchie and Vardy changed positions on the wing, Vardy held the ball, and then passed the ball to Li Mo who was in charge.

Li Mo did not stop the ball and passed a through ball with his left foot. Matt Ritchie easily passed the Bristol City full-back and advanced quickly with the ball.

Only three minutes into the game, Sheffield United played a threatening attack on the left. After Li Mo passed the ball, he signaled Vardy to run towards the center. He himself followed the Bristol City defender and ran towards the penalty area.

The position of the front ribs.

Matt Ritchie was very fast, far away from the defensive players behind him. Vardy sprinted with all his strength and was about to cross the back line. It seemed that Matt Ritchie needed to pass the ball as soon as possible.

Li Mo's calm movement made the Bristol City defender in front of him panic.

He didn't know whether he should help his teammates in the penalty area to defend Matt Ritchie at this time. Just when he was having trouble making a decision, Li Mo suddenly accelerated and quickly passed him.

Vardy's movement attracted the attention of at least two Bristol City defenders, and there was another marker in front of Matt Ritchie.

So after Li Mo passed the Bristol City players in front of him, a brief unmanned space soon appeared in front of him.

Although Matt Ritchie is constantly moving with his feet, he has been observing Li Mo's position. Vardy's movement is too fast, and the opponent players may feel threatened, but they themselves understand that Vardy is just a feint this time.

.

As soon as Li Mo got rid of the defensive player in front of him, Matt Ritchie was already ready. After Li Mo ran out of the space, he cut inside to a small angle, and then decisively returned the ball in an inverted triangle.

Li Mo had already measured his pace while running. After Matt Ritchie passed the ball, he directly took the ball with his left foot and passed the Bristol City defender who wanted to intercept him immediately, and then swung slightly again.

Open your left leg and shoot a small volley into the far corner of the goal!

Bristol City's goalkeeper couldn't believe that his own defender dared to let Li Mo enter the penalty area and let Li Mo take a shot from close range. Which goalkeeper in the English Championship can guarantee that he can save the ball?

About four minutes into the game, Matt Ritchie made his first probing attack and successfully assisted Li Mo. After seeing the ball go into the net, Lee Mo also pulled Vardy and Matt Ritchie to the corner flag.

District celebrates.

Li Mo himself didn't expect that this attack would be so easy, and he couldn't help but have a better impression of the Bristol City team.

To make myself famous with one goal, and to score so easily at the last moment of the league, Bristol City is my lucky team for Li Mo!

The Sheffield United fans at the scene also cheered, not only for Li Mo, but also for Bristol City's defense.

An old acquaintance is so generous, thank you, thank you~
