Chapter 70 Assists!
"Lee hasn't shot yet. If many center forwards don't shoot, they may only serve as a fulcrum in the frontcourt. However, Lee uses his passing and ball making to connect Sheffield United's frontcourt. It's not what a center forward should do at all, Li played more like a midfielder in this game, or a center forward who retreated to the position of the midfielder?!"

The commentator said with some uncertainty, after all, it is not like in the next few years, it is relatively rare for a center to retreat to take on part of the frontcourt organization tasks.

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

In fact, Li Mo is imitating Kane's style of play behind him.

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

There is one less player in the frontcourt for the last pass.

Since Eriksson left, Tottenham can only rely on Kane's constant retreat to pass the ball to Sun Xingmin.

Now Sheffield United has never had a No. [-] player.

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

Now his position has been withdrawn even further, and Stephen Quinn can only assist the midfielder to operate, and there is no one who can pass through to Li Mo.

Of course, in Speed's offensive system, the support of Li Mo from the two flanks is the most important.

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

There is no way, the ability determines the responsibility to be borne, and Li Mo can only grab the center midfielder now.

Fortunately, the kicking effect has been good, Speed ​​also let Li Mo play like this.

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

The other players also gathered around one by one.

The familiar offensive feeling is back again, playing around Li Mo and doing their own work well. Li Mo can always create opportunities, play easily and score goals, so comfortable.

After the Sheffield United players finished celebrating, there was not much time left in the first half. The referee looked at his watch, played for a few more minutes, and then blew the whistle for the end of the game.

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

Although he only took one game off, he already missed the cheers on the court and the support of the fans, he couldn't hear enough.

During the intermission, Speed ​​did not make any tactical adjustments. He just reminded the players in the backcourt not to relax their vigilance. Cardiff City on the opposite side ranked fourth in the league in terms of goals scored this season, and their offensive ability is still very strong.

A score of 1-0 is the most unsafe. In the second half, we still have to try to score at least one more goal. It is not the style of Speed ​​and Sheffield United to be conservative after leading by one goal. Of course, the more goals the better.

In terms of offense, the first half has been doing well, but Speed ​​still made a request to Li Mo, "You have to be more aggressive, you kid will not forget to bring your shooting boots today."

Hearing Speed's joke, Li Mo spread his hands helplessly. The opponent kept double-teaming him. He would rather let the other Sheffield United players shoot than give him a chance. He is not a superman, and he is not easy to defend against the two of them. of.

However, it is impossible for the opponent to maintain such a high-intensity double-team against 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, when the opponent is behind, they have to find a way to attack, right?

Whether it is pressing the offense or playing a defensive counterattack, there will be a certain amount of space when the opponent's midfielder reaches the area in front of the penalty area.

Sheffield United has two good long pass players, Drinkwater and Maguire, as long as they can steal the ball once and pass it to Li Mo's feet, Li Mo is sure to play with Vardy once. "Blitz".

After the start of the second half of the game, Cardiff City really chose to start the attack.

However, Drinkwater and Montgomery were very focused. The two, together with Stephen Quinn who retreated, covered and intercepted in front of the penalty area to resolve most of Cardiff City's offensive.

This is also the advantage of the double defensive midfielder lineup. Although the development of the offensive end depends more on the advancement of the wing and the striker retreating to get the ball, but on the defensive end, it can help the defense relieve more pressure.

Cardiff City's offense was unfavorable, and the forward pressure of the formation also allowed Li Mo to find a chance to take the ball and try a long-range shot outside the penalty area of ​​Cardiff City.

However, the kick was a bit too strong, and it spun 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, you have to put in troops on the offensive end, and there will be fewer natural people on the defensive end. If you can't attack for a long time, you will naturally have to bear the threat of the opponent's counterattack.

Cardiff City doesn't have any defensive stars. They can rely on their personal ability to delay the counterattack of Li Mo and Vardy. They can only pray that before the goal, the players in the backcourt try to interfere with Li Mo's possession of the ball.

However, Drinkwater gradually started to play in the midfielder position, which made Cardiff City's offense unable to play effectively for a long time.

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

Although the height is less than 1.8 meters, the weight of Brother Drinking Water is close to [-] kilograms, and his resistance is not very strong, but he will not hold him back.

Abundant physical fitness and a good sense of position make his defensive coverage very impressive.

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

In the No.603 minute of the second half, after Montgomery successfully intercepted again, he did not cross the ball to Drinkwater again.

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

In this game, Maguire hasn't used his ability to pass the ball forward. At this moment, when he got the ball, he looked up and made a long pass.

In the past, Sheffield United's long pass from the backcourt was basically to find Li Mo first, but Maguire passed the ball to the other side, and Vardy was advancing at high speed on the path of the ball.

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

No one was watching. Vardy spread his legs and dribbled the ball along the sidewalk. Li Mo, who was in the middle, trotted forward and approached the penalty area of ​​Cardiff City.

The two central defenders in the penalty area separated one to press Vardy, and the other was to stare at Li Mo.

After Valdine 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 at the moment.

Seeing this, Li Mo put his hands together, pinned down the Cardiff City central defender who was interfering behind him, and also stuck another Cardiff City full-back who wanted to steal the ball behind him.

Then he faced the ball, pushed it lightly, 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 not to stop the ball and shoot directly into the far corner of the goal!
The football drew a beautiful arc and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

The goalkeeper of Cardiff City tried his best to save, but failed to touch the football and could only watch it hit the net.

The ball hit an absolute dead end, and the quality of the shot was perfect!
This attack relied on three people, and the three-legged pass was completed, and the efficiency of the counterattack was terribly high!
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 defend us again, we will still lose the ball. Believe it or not?"

Hey, it's easy to get two assists, okay!
　I am working hard to save the manuscript, and I should write a Sanjiang testimonial tomorrow, brothers vote, (′‵)~
