Chapter 357 Champions League Brawl, I'm an elite player!
Li Mo's goal made Arsenal's nightmare come true again.
Amidst the cheers of thousands of Sheffield United fans, Wenger pursed his lips and looked at Li Mo, who was hugging Neymar passionately on the field, and sighed softly, looking both helpless and somewhat relieved
His players tried their best. When many main players were rested or injured and unable to play, they were able to take the initiative in attacking at Sheffield United's home court and had the hope of equalizing the score. This is already better than the Premier League. Most teams are stronger.
It's a pity that Speed played Li Mo's card at a critical moment, and Arsenal really had no way to completely limit Li Mo's performance.
If Mertesacker can play today, maybe the situation will be better, but if it is just an if after all, who can say for sure?
"If you give me another chance, don't say 3000 to 5000 million, I'll throw [-] million too!"
When feelings of regret came to mind again, Wenger could only smile helplessly.
He has missed too many excellent players in his life. Ronaldo used to be the biggest thorn in his heart, but now, Li Mo has replaced Ronaldo, which brought him great regret.
The 11-year summer window and the 12-year winter window were Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea when they were closest to Li Mo.
At that time, Sheffield United could reject their offer of 2000 million or even 3000 million yuan, but as long as one club is willing to pay more money, Sheffield United may not be able to withstand the temptation and choose to take Li Mo. SOLD!
Boas has never forgotten Li Mo until now. Ferguson bluntly said that not helping Manchester United to sign Li Mo was his biggest regret before retirement. This regret even surpassed the pain of losing the league championship.
And why not Wenger?
He only hated himself at the time for still thinking about trying to save Cesc Fabregas!
If it would have let go of Cesc Fabregas, who had already given up on going, and earned an extra transfer fee, and then used the money to drop Li Mo, where would Arsenal be in the Premier League today?
In terms of offensive training, Wenger doesn't think he is worse than Speed. Li Mo might get more scoring opportunities at Arsenal.
Just imagine, with Li Mo and Van Persie as the two big killers, what's wrong with Arsenal's waist not being strong enough?If they score a few more goals than their opponents in each game, they dare to think about being champions!
It's a pity that the missed opportunities can't be reappeared, and time can't be turned back. Wenger's eyes are changing, and in the end, he can only see the loneliness in his eyes and accept this helpless reality.
Losing the game against Sheffield United is actually not an accident or loss for Arsenal. After all, they have just set sail on the road to the fourth this season, but Sheffield United has already moved towards a higher goal. Take it in stride.
The two teams that regarded each other as the first opponents for the UEFA Champions League in the 11-12 season are now on completely different paths
※※※
After the passionate celebration, Speed decisively chose to make a substitution.
Maguire, who had already warmed up, stood on the sidelines, fully releasing the signal that Sheffield United must securely keep the fruits of victory.
Neymar, who completed the assist in the second half and completed the redemption for his poor performance today, was replaced. Speed and the Sheffield United fans gave him enthusiastic applause.
Li Mo embraced Neymar affectionately and gave him a firm hug. Neymar was also very happy this time. He showed a bright smile when he left the field and continued to applaud the fans to express his gratitude.
"Thank you, boss!"
After high-fiving and hugging Maguire, Neymar opened his arms and hugged Speed.
Speed could have replaced him earlier, but when the team desperately needed to score, Speed chose to continue to trust him.
This kind of trust is enough to make any player feel grateful in his heart. After all, by doing this, the coach is equivalent to helping the players resist the pressure. If the media wants to attack this player after the game, the coach will not be able to please him.
Fortunately, he did not live up to the trust of Speed and his teammates in the end. A courageous confrontation and a crucial through assist, he proved his worth with his big heart performance, and also proved that Speed was not wrong. people!
"Nice job, boy, I love how brave you are with the ball, keep it up!"
Speed patted Neymar on the head, then smiled and motioned him to put on his coat and go to rest.
For young players, Speed has always been not stingy in giving opportunities and encouragement, from Li Mo, Maguire, Stones at the beginning, to De Bruyne later, and now to Neymar. so it is.
Young players will get confused more or less on the court. The key depends on whether the head coach has enough patience and the mentality to bear the pressure.
For Speed, he is not afraid of young players making mistakes, as long as he is willing to change, work hard, and see progress, then he is willing to give such players more opportunities.
When Maguire came on the field and caused the team to lose the ball, he didn't say much. Didn't he train Maguire under pressure?
Not to mention the trivial matter of Neymar being stubborn today.
Except for Li Mo, a freak who is pure freeing, the rest of the young players have to make some mistakes on the road to growth. He knew it well, and he was prepared long ago, so he didn't panic at all.
After reassuring Neymar, Speed looked into the field again.
Sheffield United changed again at this time, from four-three-three directly to five-four-one. Maguire and Lescott almost blocked the possibility of Arsenal hitting a high ball. The hard-working Dirk, it is enough for Arsenal to drink a pot.
After the game restarted, Arsenal did start to advance more on both wings. After all, it was clear that they couldn't get in the middle. Apart from crossing or cutting in from the side, they had no other more effective tricks.
Li Mo still stayed in Arsenal's half. When a long pass came, he dribbled the ball to the side alone, trying to delay the time. Arsenal often had to use two or three players to deal with him again. It was really tortured. no.
No. At 806 minutes, Speed replaced Li Mo with Drinkwater, allowing him to enjoy the applause from the Sheffield United fans, and the Arsenal players finally breathed a sigh of relief .
Li Mo left the field, Sheffield United directly put out the luxury bus, and Arsenal no longer had any scruples to press on for the final mad attack.
It was this offensive that looked lively, but the high balls that were finally hoisted into Sheffield United's penalty area were basically handled by Maguire and Lescott. With the addition of Stones who quickly defended, Sheffield United's defense line can be described as It is steady and steady, so that Arsenal's generals will return without success time and time again.
When the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game, many Arsenal players showed relief on their faces.
Trying to capture Sheffield United's luxury bus at Sheffield United's home court is too nerve-wracking!
Fortunately, all this is finally over. The score of 1-3 is not ugly, and they have tried their best. Not to mention the understanding of the fans, but at least they have an explanation.
Wenger still took the initiative to congratulate Speed in a personable manner. The two hugged and greeted on the sidelines. After chatting for a while, they both laughed and looked amiable.
Most of the players on both sides know each other, and they should change their jerseys. Trippier even had a laugh with Walcott. The two got along very well with the British national team. Private friends.
Sagna approached Neymar and signaled that he would exchange jerseys with him. Neymar also smiled and nodded in agreement. It was not at all obvious that the two were still fighting on the court half an hour ago.
This is the true situation of the players on the court and in private. Everyone on the court is their own master, and they will naturally compete against each other and go all out to compete.
But after the game, many players in the same league actually have a good relationship.
At least in the Arsenal team, Li Mo has had private dinners with Mertesacker, Koscielny and Ramsey more than once. When they go to London to play away games, everyone will come out for tea if they are free. , such communication is normal.
"Dinner tonight?"
"No appointment, no appointment. We will leave for London later. You forgot the Champions League match in a few days? You play on the 17th, we will play on the 18th. Do you want me to be sprayed to death by the professor?"
"Damn, I fucking forgot. Haha, let's talk about it next time I go to London, come on."
"Well, come on!"
Li Mo and Ramsey exchanged a few words, and then they realized that they would have to play in the Champions League group stage in three or four days. Although Arsenal had an extra day of rest, they had to go to France to play an away game at that time. It's really not suitable to come out to play.
After saying goodbye to each other, Li Mo went back to the locker room to start physical therapy. Speed, who attended the press conference, also asked the assistant coach to take the lead, telling the players to go home and rest after washing up. Tomorrow morning, they will have a half-day holiday, and then go to the base in the afternoon Reported to participate in recovery training.
The Sheffield United players who got the holiday notice were all smiling.
The half-day vacation is also a vacation. Even if you can't go out for a while, having a few meals at home with your family is a rare moment of rest.
After the disbandment, everyone had a family dinner arrangement. Li Mo didn't organize a team dinner when he saw this.
Most of the fourth round of the Premier League was played on September 9th, and the powerful team that took the lead in the game can be described as mixed.
Both Sheffield United and Chelsea have won their opponents completely, and they are preparing for the upcoming European games with a relaxed mood, while Arsenal and Manchester City have no time to recover after losing, and have devoted themselves to preparing for the Champions League group stage at work.
As for Manchester United, it is uncertain whether the players in their team are happy or worried. After all, they are so aggressive after being promoted.
But in any case, there are five Premier League teams playing in the Champions League this season, which is something that cheers up Premier League fans.
Not to mention that everyone can qualify at the top of the group, as long as four teams can enter the top [-] in the end, that is enough for fans to brag.
Of course, within the Premier League, Sheffield United is naturally the one that gets the most attention.
Who made them play in the Champions League as a seeded team this time, and fell into the "group of death" again?
This year's Champions League can be described as a chaos.
In the second tier there are Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Greater Paris and miners Schalke 04, in the third tier there are Manchester City, Dortmund and Leverkusen, and in the fourth tier there are Naples and Real Sociedad. If you are not careful, there may be a group of death.
And this time UEFA didn't make a big gimmick, and I don't know if it was because of the five teams coming from the Premier League, so they were not happy, so they directly organized two death groups!
Sheffield United scored one, and Arsenal scored another. At that time, football public opinion was detonated after the draw.
If it is said that there is no UEFA operating method in it, the fans will absolutely not believe it. Look at this draw.
Sheffield United, Juventus, Leverkusen, Real Sociedad!
Arsenal, Marseille, Dortmund, Napoli!
Oh, a small probability event just happened, and the two strongest teams in the fourth tier happened to enter the two seeded teams, both from the Premier League. Is there such a coincidence?
But I have to say that UEFA's play can be said to be both stinky and fragrant.
Stinky naturally offended the two teams in the Premier League, but at the same time their operations also gained more fans and media attention.
In previous years, a death group in the Champions League group stage was enough to attract the attention of fans, but this year there were two groups.
In particular, the team where Arsenal is located has a great probability of the first and second teams overturning at the same time. How can the fans not be interested in it!
Many fans also joked that this year UEFA is going to re-test the "quality" of Sheffield United.
Sheffield United was lucky last year, and the opponents in the group they were assigned to were not good. This year, UEFA is obviously going to make it more difficult for Sheffield United.
With the resurgent old giants Juventus, Leverkusen third in the Bundesliga, and Real Sociedad, a famous shit-stirring stick in La Liga, this time Sheffield United wants to complete the record of last season, and the difficulty has increased several times. .
Of course, with the shocking battle with Bayern last season and the honor of winning the British Triple Crown, fans from all walks of life have a clear understanding of the strength of Sheffield United, and no one thinks that they will not be able to qualify.
It's just that it's hard to say whether this group will qualify first or second.
Nowadays, some people want to see Sheffield United hit a wall in the first game of the group stage. The performance is too strong, and it is not a traditional giant. Naturally, it will attract inexplicable resistance from many wealthy fans.
As the opening date of the UEFA Champions League group stage is approaching, the war of words has also started.
The "grievances" between La Liga and the Premier League, the ridicule of the declining Serie A from other leagues, and the underestimation of the fans of the "Four Major Leagues" towards Ligue [-].
Too many conflicts and verbal attacks are enough to trigger several big debates among fan groups, which has also become the "appetizer" before the opening of the Champions League every season.
The players of Sheffield United have also discussed in private the group opponents they will face this year, but their confidence is obviously stronger than outside speculation.
After all, after experiencing last season's shopping match with Cosmos Bayern, is there any other team that can scare them now?
Not to mention that these teams are just bluffing their names, even if they are really the elite of each league, so what?
The lads fight like elites!
