September 17, Sheffield United’s home ground, Bramall Lane Stadium.
Sheffield United, of course, is in the city of Sheffield.
In that city, there is a relatively famous team, that is Sheffield Wednesday, they are currently in the English Championship.
Of course these two teams are rivals in the same city!
And they also have a common enemy, that is Leeds United!
Is that because Sheffield City is in South Yorkshire and Leeds United is in West Yorkshire. They are both neighbors!
Look at York City...are they in North Yorkshire?
Therefore, between York City and Sheffield United, rounding off is not a wrong derby.
At this time, there was a huge crowd outside the stadium, and countless fans came to watch the Yorkshire game.
The game has gone on for 60 minutes, and the score is one to one.
At half-time, Karlstrom once again scored with a long shot to give York City the lead. However, before the end of the half-time, Sheffield United had their top shooter Billy Sharp grab the ball in front of the goal.
Got the leg to tie the score.
After the intermission, the two sides were still locked in a battle.
Sheffield United has been in League One since being relegated from the Championship in 2010-2011.
Although it has never been able to return to the English Championship, it has been able to reach the play-offs every season. It can be said that it has always been the favorite for promotion.
And in that season, that team even invested a lot of money in recruiting players, just thinking of rushing into the English Championship this season and no longer associating with those insects!
Their lineup is complete and their strength is outstanding. It can be said that they are a team with "exquisite Championship configuration".
Let’s take the 30-year-old forward Billy Sharp, who scored at half-time. He has played for Southampton, Leeds United and other teams before, and his salary has reached 12,000 euros per week. It can be said that he is not in the English League One.
"Superstar".
It is precisely because of this that Sheffield United was still rated by the media as the favorite team to advance to the English Championship that season.
Unfortunately, in the previous seven rounds of the league, the team that was the favorite to be promoted did not perform at a dominant level.
Maybe there are more new players and there are some problems with the running-in, but they have achieved an average record of three wins, one draw and three losses with 10 points, ranking 13th among all 24 English League One teams.
Of course, if you consider that Bolton, who is in second place, only has 15 points, Sheffield United has not actually been stretched too far.
This is actually a characteristic of England's low-level leagues, that is, there are very few teams that are absolutely powerful enough to crush them, and everyone is often swarmed into the same points bracket, and the fight is extremely brutal.
This season is a little different.
Then York City, which is ranked first, currently has 6 wins, 1 draw and 19 points, and will remain unbeaten until tomorrow!
The team that had just been promoted from League Two showed a completely different temperament from other League One teams. It mainly played a youthful storm, and its tactics could not combine long and short. In many cases, it was possible to play a game that is rare in League One.
technology flow.
That style of play made it difficult for many teams to resist, and York City occupied the top spot from the beginning of the season.
Due to this situation, fellow Yorkshire team Sheffield United certainly felt unhappy.
In the past, when York City was in League Two, or even in the National League, Sheffield United certainly didn't care much about their little brother, so they couldn't talk about being rivals in the same city.
But Ru Ming, that little brother crawled all over him, which he couldn't bear, but his aunt couldn't bear!
I must ask York City to win over East Malaysia!
That corresponds to the saying, if you are afraid of your brothers having a hard time, you are afraid of your brothers driving a Land Rover.
Therefore, tomorrow, Sheffield United, who are playing at home, played very proactively amidst the cheers from the audience, finally showing people the strength of a team that is a favorite to compete in the British Championship.
After equalizing the score, they also suppressed York City and gained more shooting opportunities.
If not, York City's veteran Swedish goalkeeper Isaksson performed very steadily, saving several must-goals one after another. York City's goal had already been penetrated again.
"It's almost time to change to Aman."
The stands were there, and Pan Yi made a phone call.
On the other end of the phone was, of course, Scaloni, who was currently in the visiting team's coaching bench.
Pan Yifeng paid great attention to that missed match against Sheffield United.
On the one hand, whether Sheffield United is a strong team in League One, it may not be the most direct promotion competition in the future, so whether it can beat the opponent in a face-to-face confrontation has a key impact on the overall situation;
On the other hand, no matter whether that game was a nuclear-powered derby, defeating the same city with the wrong legs and players, it was a huge spiritual boost for the fans.
Therefore, Pan Yi took the rare opportunity to personally study Sheffield United's wrong leg and went to the club to discuss tactics with Scaloni.
The first suggestion Pan Yi made was to put Amon on the bench first.
"I just encouraged him and made his blood boil, but now I don't let him start?" Scaloni certainly didn't understand.
Pan Yi said with a smile: "That will make him hold back his strength. When it bursts out, I will know how powerful it is!"
Of course, making such a decision is not based on the conclusion that Pan Yi came to through his research on Wrong Wrong Leg.
Sheffield United's main defense is not young, especially the 30-year-old Jack Wright, who is outstanding regardless of his physical fitness or speed.
After more than an hour of exertion, sending a player with good speed and body like Amon to blast him will often have better results.
And the starting lineup and tactics that Scaloni will send today are mainly about strangulation.
Veteran Joe Partington took Amon's place, and the team also played one, focusing on the midfielder.
After Amon is on the court, the formation will change accordingly. Amon and Baker will form a double forward to attack Sheffield United's defense.
Now, Scaloni was standing next to Armand, wrapping his arms around the Cameroonian boy, and was giving him some instructing instructions.
"Their No. 13 Jack Wright is old and has physical problems. Also, that guy is short of speed and slow to turn. Do I know what to do?"
"Use his speed to attack him." Amon said.
"Wrong answer." Scaloni continued, "I don't want to try to dribble the ball directly past him. He will arrange for Baker to play the ball for me. My task is to hit him behind with speed! Is it red?"
"It's bright red!" Aman nodded.
He knows his abilities and characteristics, and his superior skills are really his strengths.
But if he used his speed to get behind the old guy and used his body to fight against him, then he would be very confident in himself.
"He will let Rice and Karlströmdo in the midfield try to pass the ball to me." Scaloni continued, "My task is to run as hard as I can, use my speed and body, and after getting the ball,
Enter the restricted area, and then..."
Aman didn't shut up, so he nodded vigorously.
He has been looking forward to being there!
When he knew that he would not start tomorrow, he certainly felt unhappy.
"No, no, because his performance has not been good recently, the boss and the coach both thought that we should put him on the bench to let him calm down?"
"Can you tell me, didn't the boss say yesterday that he would score a goal tomorrow? How could he score a goal if he wasn't there?"
Young Amang would inevitably have random thoughts, but Pan Yi quickly found him and told him the team's main tactics for tomorrow.
Just let Aman act as the initial blasting leg through the previous consumption!
That made him a little nervous, but also excited and looking forward to it.
The team should not let him be a substitute, but let him be the winning leg!
So the boss and coach misplaced their trust in him.
When the team needs goals the most, come on as a substitute, turn the tide, and become a hero!
Such a scene has appeared countless times in the dreams of countless young players. Now, he is eager for his dream to come true!
"In the 65th minute, York City made the first substitution adjustment. 18-year-old Cameroonian Thomas Amang came on as a substitute. He replaced Joe Partington."
"Withdrawing a midfielder and adding a shooting kick, it is obvious that York City is not satisfied with taking away one point from Sheffield United."
"But no, Scaloni's substitution is questionable. Armand has not scored in five games before, and his performance is really lackluster."
"Apart from his strong body and speed, he is very poor in other aspects. He has no passing ability, no breakthrough, and his foot skills are not good. Anyway, he doesn't think that substitution will have any miraculous effect."
At this time, Amon had quickly ran into the stadium and stood at his position.
That dead ball opportunity prevented Sheffield United from getting a touchline ball in the frontcourt.
Sheffield United right back Randall threw the ball to his teammate, right midfielder Cootes.
Cootes stretched his foot to stop the ball, then turned around with a beautiful pull of the ball. At the same time, he poked with his toes and twisted his waist to pass Alphonso Davis, who was coming to defend him.
The pass made the Sheffield United fans in the stands burst into cheers and applause, while Pan Yi remained expressionless.
Alphonso Davies did dive a little too hard, but that was considered normal.
On the one hand, this is due to Alphonso Davis's lack of experience. In addition, the one-miss-one defense is not Alphonso Davis's strength.
But behind Alphonso Davies, York City has the iron gate of Westerman.
Cootes had just passed the ball to midfielder Mark Duffy, who came over to receive the ball. As soon as the latter turned around after receiving the ball, he saw Westerman's menacing face.
The German defender bumped directly into him, and at the same time, Dong Dong decisively poked the ball away.
Then it seemed that he was unable to stop the momentum and directly knocked Mark Duffy staggering, which eliminated Mark Duffy's chance to turn around and counterattack on the spot.
Pan Yi nodded: Then what about the experience of a former German international defender?
That's why he asked to bring that old guy to York City. The team's defense needs such a stabilizing needle!
At this time, after Westerman poked the ball out, York City's other central defender De Ligt got the ball before anyone else, and he passed it directly to the running Alfonso.
Davis.
The young left back, who was very embarrassed by Kurtes just now, began to show his talent on the offensive end.
He looked up in front of him, passed the ball diagonally, and then moved forward himself.
"Counterattack! Then there is no chance for York City to counterattack!"
Did the ball go directly to Baker?
Is this one of York City's most classic counterattack routines? Just find Baker's high point, and then let him serve as the fulcrum to ferry the ball out to his teammates for a two-point shot.
Sheffield United's centre-back O'Connell was competing with Baker for height, but the tall defender who had reached 192cm immediately realized that he did not seem to be blocking the wrong leg of the York City centre-forward.
Baker, who is nearly two meters tall, misjudged the landing point of the football and successfully jumped in front of the defender with all his strength. He showed everyone his amazing jumping ability, which was far beyond his lack of preparation.
Half a head of O'Connell Weyl.
"Captain!" Baker shouted the moment he won the ball.
His header was indeed a flying goal!
Captain Karlström rushed forward, but instead of stopping the ball, he directly volleyed the ball towards the frontcourt!
Then people saw a red figure flashing past, and Nafu Amang was rushing forward at a very fast speed!
Jack Wright, another central defender of Sheffield United, turned around quickly to chase the ball. He was closer to the ball than Amongou, and he thought he could get the ball first.
But no, for a second, Jack Wright was stunned.
The little forward who started several meters behind him was already chasing him. He could even feel the sound of the wind behind him when Amon started running!
Jack Wright was shocked. Without any hesitation, he fell directly to the ground and made a sliding tackle!
"Amon! Go fast! The veteran Jack Wright is also very experienced."
"He knew that with his speed he would definitely be able to beat Amon, so he put the tackle in immediately and almost hit the ball."
"The ball also changed its route and rolled towards our goalkeeper. In that case, it would be difficult for Amon to chase the ball... Waiting for Dong!"
"Amang is accelerating! He doesn't seem to give up that attack opportunity! Oh my God! That young Cameroonian! His speed is actually much faster!"
Just when everyone thought York City's attack was over and the ball would be cleared by Sheffield United goalkeeper Moore, they saw that red figure accelerating.
He passed directly by Jack Wright who completed the shovel pass, without stopping at all. Instead, his speed became faster and faster, and he continued to sprint forward.
Sheffield United goalkeeper Moore, who originally planned to stop the ball safely first, looked at the blue figure getting closer and closer, and felt a little panicked.
He strode straight towards him and raised his right foot to seek relief.
He didn't dare to kick forward because he was afraid that it would hit Amon's body and bounce back towards the goal.
Therefore, Moore directly used the arch of his foot to sweep the ball out to the right. Then he planned to kick the ball directly out of the sideline, causing a dead ball and temporarily eliminating the crisis.
But he did not underestimate Amon's speed and determination.
The moment Moore raised his legs, Aman had already rushed over, and he also came with a sliding shovel that fell to the ground!
The ball happened to be kicked out at this time, but it was blocked by Amon's right foot.
That caused the ball to change direction and bounce towards the Sheffield United goal!
Moore felt chilled, but when he turned his head and looked back, the ball had already rolled across the goal line.
"GoooooooooooooooooLLLL!"
"Amon! Amon! Scored a goal! York City exceeded the score again! They launched a fast counterattack!"
"Amon! That's his third goal in the league this season! And that also breaks his five-game scoring drought."
Aman got up from the ground, and then he rushed towards the direction of the visiting team's fans' stands, running, jumping up, and yelling, with Nobeck, Carlstrom, Alphonso Davis behind him...
As a striker, he was certainly the most excited at that time.
The goal drought was broken, and his inner demons were also broken!
Amang's eyes were also searching for the figure of his boss in the stands.
Only he himself knows how much Pan Yi asked for his encouragement!
And Pan Yi also stood up, waved his leg to the sidelines, and then said in a dazzling voice: "Great job! Keep working hard!"
Fans of the visiting team York City also quickly discovered the interaction between Pan Yi and Amang, and immediately sang "Amang's Song":
"Aman, Aman, he's from Cameroon, and now he's in York City, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa variety of Amon, hey!"
"Amon, Amon, Pan Yi brought him to York City, Scaloni made him a forward, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Amon, hey!"
"Amon, Amon, he's as fast as lightning, he's as strong as an ox, is he going to win the League One for them over there, ah ah ah ah, hey!"
——
Sheffield United head coach Chris Wilder saw that his side had conceded the ball and immediately made substitutions.
He replaced the team's left midfielder Mark Duffy with winger James O'Shea.
The player on loan from Chesterfield is fast, good at moving on the left, likes to cut outside, and also likes to shoot hard and hard.
Is Sheffield United planning to strengthen their attack on the left?
Scaloni immediately shouted the name of Kenyo Tomiyasu, reminding the right back Tsukimoto to be careful of the speed of the wrong side's counterattack on that side.
Scaloni is relieved because of Fuan Jianyang, who is replaced by James O'Shea, who is fast, but Fuan Jianyang's speed is not slow at all, and he is not afraid at all.
When Pan Yi handed Fuyasu Jianyang into Scaloni's legs, he specifically explained that Fuyasu Jianyang's offensive ability is indeed inferior to that of Alphonso Davis on the left, but his defensive ability is inferior.
Don’t seek to win.
Therefore, York City's basic tactics are to attack from the left and defend from the right. When necessary, Kenyo Fuyasu can completely stick to the right, or even move out to the center back position to defend.
But now that Sheffield United is doing this, it is obvious that they are playing into Scaloni's favor.
Scaloni also quickly found his captain Karlström and gave him the opportunity: "Sheffield United wants to attack their right wing, then they can completely use Sheffield United to attack on that side.
Take advantage of the opportunity and fight back against Sheffield United again!"
Only five minutes later.
James O'Shea tried to use his speed to beat Takeyoshi Toyasu on the right, but no, the defender Tsukimoto had already seen through the intention of the wrong leg. He also started at the same speed and leaned his body first, striking James O'Shea hard.
Xie squeezed away.
Then Takeyo Fuyasu passed the ball directly to center back De Ligt, and the Dutchman passed the ball to Karlström who came over to respond.
The York City captain attempted to run with the ball, attracting the attention of the Sheffield United midfielder Fleck who was closest to him. However, he passed the ball directly to Rice who came to meet him, and at the same time shouted, "Go forward."
!”
Rice received the ball and turned around, looked up and then flicked his ankle and passed the ball directly!
The ball crossed half the pitch and hit Sheffield United's half directly.
"Amon! That was passed to him! He's sprinting! Jack Wright is following him!"
The ball fell in the air. Amon pushed the ball with his head, then tiptoed, throwing the 30-year-old veteran Jack Wright aside, and then accelerated himself, like a cheetah, and rushed out.
"Push through! The Cameroonians are charging!"
Was Amon's choice the right one, because in that way he could fully demonstrate his speed advantage over Jack Wright and get rid of him quickly?
But the problem is that Amon's skills are a bit rough. When he touches the ball with his toes, he uses too much force.
Although Jack Wright was thrown away, he was also thrown away by the ball.
At this moment, Sheffield United goalkeeper Moore had already abandoned the goal.
"Moore strikes! He is farther away from the ball than the Cameroonian! The ball will be in his control! The ball looks like... ah, he is in God!"
Before the commentator finished speaking, Amang's legs were as if they were tied with rockets, pushing his body's explosive power to the extreme.
Originally, he was indeed farther away from the ball, but no, in almost the blink of an eye, he was chasing it, and got ahead of goalkeeper Moore, stretching out his foot to poke it.
The ball bounced, rolled past the goalkeeper who was running and attacking, rolled towards the goal, rolled over the goal line, and rolled into the net.
"In again!!!!"
"A beautiful strike! That's no speed! Then no speed! Amon! He scored again! The Cameroon boy scored twice! Three to one! He sealed the victory for York City!!!"
"He responded to the media's doubts that he was wrong with two consecutive goals. Congratulations to Pan Yi, he once again proved his ability to judge people. Is Amon a good striker who can score goals!"
Starting from the counterattack launched by Rice's long pass, the stands of Bramall Lane Stadium burst into harsh boos.
When Aman sprinted towards the goal to chase the ball, the boos reached their peak!
Then seeing that our own goalkeeper Moore was about to control the ball, the stands even started to applaud.
And now, when the ball rolled into the net, the huge boos at Bramall Lane Stadium and the applause that I didn't even have time to rejoice at that moment disappeared without a trace.
All the home team fans were shocked by that goal.
Were they frightened by Amon's speed?
The ball is obviously far away from him, and the goalkeeper on his side is obviously getting closer to the ball. It is obvious that the danger is about to be lifted!
But no, just like a flash of red light, that guy appeared in everyone's sight, shot and scored!
