opening a balotelli

Salah is on fire.

The lore against Chelsea caused this Egyptian guy to quickly become a celebrity in the entire Ruichao!
Mancini bluntly said after the game that Salah has great potential for development, and UEFA's official tweet even praised him.

However, many clubs that were about to make a move gradually stopped their thoughts of grabbing people after they found out that Salah had been bought by Sheffield United.

It's not that he didn't use the main position to seduce, but Salah is obviously not stupid.

What Speed ​​needs is for him to continue to grow and stay in Ruichao to level up, so that he can be used in the future, instead of simply treating him as a business.

He and Speed ​​had already had a candid conversation before the season, and now they still receive occasional greeting calls from Speed.

This kind of sincerity is enough, enough for him to stay in Basel for leveling and reject some temptations from the outside world.

After all, it is impossible for the major European clubs to give him the main position. The invitations are from some mid-range teams, the kind that can't even smell the exhaust of Sheffield United.

So no matter how the outside scandals spread, Salah ignored it and took the initiative to call Speed ​​to explain.

The old handsome guy still has this kind of bearing, and he wasn't bothered by these rumors.

Salah's good performance in the Champions League shows that their coaching staff's vision is correct, and he is not worried that Salah will be taken away by other teams.

Taking a step back, even if Salah really hooked up with other clubs and Sheffield United disagreed, then this kid can only stay in Basel honestly.

After all, several years of contracts are there, so Speed ​​has nothing to worry about.

It is just that he is always harassed by reporters asking questions about Salah before the start of the league, which makes him feel a little bored.

Today, a wave of reporters said that Chelsea is ready to take Salah with all its strength.

Another wave of reporters will come tomorrow saying that Moyes asked Manchester United to make all-out signings in the winter window, and one of the targets is Salah.

Speed ​​knew that the news released by these media was similar to farting, but he couldn't stand it because there were always reporters asking questions, which made him tireless.

So at the league press conference, Speed ​​simply had a showdown.

"Salah is in my plan. Of course he will return to Sheffield United in the future. As for the so-called 'buying' from other clubs, sorry, we have not received any offers here. Let me put it this way, unless there is The club can bid more than 8000 million and obtain the consent of the player himself, otherwise we are not going to sell Salah."

"So when is his return? Is there a specific date?"

"Look at me, Mr. Reporter, do you see me as a wizard, or something that can predict the future? The return of a loan player depends on his personal growth and the needs of the team. When the conditions are ripe, Naturally he will be able to report at Sheffield United, maybe tomorrow, maybe next year."

"Mr. Naspider."

"Excuse me! Excuse me! I think I have made it very clear, this topic ends here! Okay? The most suitable players are currently in the Sheffield United team. We have formed a united, strong team. , and a compatible team, I think you can pay more attention to other Sheffield United players, I will continue to pay attention to Salah's growth, but we should not discuss this topic today, let's talk about West Bromwich Albion "

Speed ​​rarely showed his tough attitude, which made the reporters unable to speak.

Many reporters also realized that Speed ​​was nicknamed "Little Madman" when he led the team to the Premier League for the first time!
The name can be chosen wrongly, but the nickname can't be wrong. Now it seems that Speed ​​is somewhat similar to Mourinho in the matter of attacking the media.

The only difference is that Speed ​​is a little more tactful than Mourinho. In the past, he played a lot of tai chi with the media, and he was procrastinating on many sensitive topics. Today, he just tore off the disguise.

And after a good fight, Speed ​​was also refreshed, and finally regained his smiling face, and left the scene gracefully, leaving a group of reporters looking at each other at the press conference.

It felt old and suffocated.

But the reporters don't have many ways to fight back. Who made Sheffield United already the dominant player in the Premier League?
It is a very unwise choice to fight against Sheffield United, which is now in the limelight.

There are still a few reporters who can fight against Sheffield United, after all, they have to eat.

And Speed, the smiling tiger, would give them some sweet treats from time to time.

Some of the news that broke the news is traffic, that is, sales!

After much hesitation, the reporters still chose Congxin, and returned to the newspaper office to write articles while shouting about the victory of public opinion. They had already thought up the headline for tomorrow's front page.

"The best team, the future, Sheffield United is no longer afraid of any opponents! "

Look, it's so eye-catching, let me ask you whether you want to buy a newspaper after seeing this headline!

※※※

Li Mo and the others unanimously applauded Speed's behavior of angering media reporters.

However, on the morning of the game, after seeing the unscrupulous news from the newspapers, all the Sheffield United players were also speechless.

"It's a waste of talents if you don't go to the Huaguo college entrance examination to do reading comprehension!"

Li Mo really admired the word-picking ability of these British journalists.

It doesn't matter to Speed, as long as his ears are clean, he doesn't bother to care about the outside news as long as it's not groundless nonsense.

Anyway, after the league restarts, everyone is talking about results, and this is Sheffield United's strength now!

On the afternoon of September 9, the Sheffield United team arrived at the Hawthorns Stadium. Facing West Bromwich Albion, they were quite relaxed.

Relying on the loaned little monster Lukaku last season, West Bromwich Albion once had a chance to enter the European theater.

Although it fell short in the end, the eighth ranking in the league can be regarded as a miracle of some sort.

At least this is the best record West Bromwich Albion has achieved since the establishment of the Premier League, and head coach Steve Clarke has received praise from many celebrities in the industry for this reason.

However, this season Lukaku left West Brom and returned to Chelsea. Steve Clarke introduced Anelka during the summer window, hoping to keep the team's record.

But it turns out that an old and depraved superstar cannot turn the tide.

Four appearances, 0 goals, 0 assists, this is the league data that Anelka has handed over so far after transferring to West Brom.

He is no longer the star who was favored by Wenger, but he can always show brilliant performances after going to various giants.

Steve Clark believed in the wrong person, and the result was fair. His team had two draws and two losses in the first four rounds. It is hard to find a win, and it is now firmly in the relegation zone.

To deal with such a team, it is very difficult for Xie Feilian to feel pressured. Only Li Mo felt a sense of loss.

Li Mo can't teach the young monsters a lesson in this stadium, Li Mo always feels that the game lacks some fun.

So he only played halftime today and went to the end of the game with the statistics of scoring a goal.

Bell ushered in his first hat-trick of the new season, Neymar made a pass and made a contribution, and the frontcourt trio clocked out of get off work early again.

After Vardy came off the bench and succeeded in making up the knife, Sheffield United left the Hawthorns Stadium with a bloody score of 6-0.

Steve Clark looked at the fact that the team dropped another place and became the vice-president of the Premier League. He wanted to cry but had no tears!

The miserable experience of West Bromwich Albion made other teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League shrink their necks.

Now Sheffield United is always switching between paying attention and not paying attention.

Sometimes it's 2-0 or 3-0 and you stop, but sometimes you kill your opponent with a big score, it's really worrying!
Several tycoons only feel the pressure is great.

This season's league has only started five rounds, not to mention Sheffield United's strong five-game winning streak, and two 6-0 tragedies, this damn is simply not giving other teams a chance to survive!
Seeing that the previous overlord Manchester United was beaten 4-0 by his cousin Manchester City, it can only be said that it is difficult to stretch.

Last season, the two teams fought for a lot of time. As a result, the gap has widened since the beginning of the season. It can only be said that Manchester United fans are miserable.

At present, the only ones who can keep up with the violent rhythm of Sheffield United and not fall behind are Liverpool and Chelsea.

After all, only these two teams are still undefeated in the league like Sheffield United.

Sheffield United won all five games, while these two teams had four wins and one tie, forming the first echelon of the league with Sheffield United.

Needless to say, Chelsea naturally, the young players who have been vigorously introduced in the past few seasons have begun to show off.

It can only be said that at least 80% of Boas' original purge decisions were correct.

Without his self-destruction, it would be difficult for Mancini to further clean up old players after he took office.

Now under Mancini, Lukaku, Hazard, Mata, and Oscar have set off a youth storm.

Chelsea's record of four wins and one tie in the new season is also the greatest affirmation of Mancini's reconstruction work.

The Manchester City executives don't regret it now and the fans don't know, but Abramovich must be very happy.

I wanted to find a transitional coach to rebuild the team, but I didn't expect the rebuild to be completed in half a season, and the new season has the momentum to return to the top.

Abramovich, who has become much more patient, is already thinking about offering Mancini a better contract.

On the other side, the Liverpool fans even sang the song of Rogers, and praised the coach they scolded last season.

Four wins and one tie!Guigui, the first thing Liverpool fans do when they wake up every day is to look at the standings, and then they can't stop laughing.

How many years have I suffered from Nima, and we have today in Liverpool!
In the fifth round of the league, Suarez's hat-trick directly detonated the entire Anfield!

They won Sky City, won the Double Red Club, won Swansea, who performed well last season, and now they won Southampton, a youth team that has performed well recently!

They didn't come to this position by luck, but they got to the third place in the league by virtue of their real strength!

Even, if they continue to win in the future and have a little more goal difference, they will be second in the league!
The status quo that has missed the Champions League for four consecutive seasons has made Liverpool fans extremely eager for the top four.

Rogers can lead them into the first echelon, that is their savior!

Even Gerrard shouted excitedly after the fifth round that Liverpool was going to rise again.

There is the right coach Rodgers, Gerrard who can still play, and super god Sturridge and Suarez.

Liverpool fans only feel that the cold winter is finally over!

They haven't thought about winning the championship yet. The first thing they want is to return to the top four. As long as they can win the Champions League, Liverpool can always slowly wash away the history of the past four years.

Even if the next round is about to compete with Sheffield United, Liverpool fans are still optimistic.

Anyway, I only play Sheffield United twice in one season, one point is earned, and three points is a lottery!
As long as the players try their best, even if they lose to Sheffield United twice, Liverpool fans have nothing to worry about.

After all, you just wanted to challenge Sheffield United. How arrogant is it to have such an idea?
Rodgers and Liverpool players are also very pragmatic in their thinking, step by step.

Of course it's better to win the fight, but if you really can't win, just try your best and you'll pay the tuition.

Anyway, the league schedule is still relatively easy during this period, and the interval between the two games is about a week, so there is plenty of time to rest.

Moreover, Liverpool did not qualify for the Europa League this season before the start of the season, which now seems to be a good thing.

Single-line combat is very comfortable, and domestic cup competitions can also be chosen from one of the two. There is no competition and psychological burden. It can be said that Liverpool's preparations for the game are going quite smoothly.

The preparation atmosphere on Sheffield United's side is slightly more dignified than that of Liverpool.

But after Neymar's party time came, the generals of Sheffield United also took off a little pressure and relaxed before the big battle.

Li Mo originally thought that apart from his teammates, at most Neymar's family and some of his personal friends would attend the party.

The result surprised him.

Except for the Brazilian players from other Premier League teams who came to the party that night.

Neymar even invited Alves in La Liga!
And according to what he said, if Kaka hadn't played a match on the 25th, Kaka would have come over tonight.

Li Mo exclaimed that it was a pity, he liked Kaka so much, if we could meet in England today, then he might get two or three autographs.

Alves is very outgoing and seems to like to make friends.

Barcelona's league game just ended yesterday, and he came to England to play full of energy today, and his energy can be seen.

Seeing that Li Mo brought a female companion today, Alves only gave him a slightly regretful look, and then quickly got along with Vardy and the others.

Li Mo didn't know what they talked about that night and what they did after going out.

However, when Vardy arrived at the training base the next day, he said that he must go to Spain to play during the offseason.

Fortunately, some of the fun-loving people had their own ideas, and it seemed that they didn't dare to go too crazy last night. At least Speed ​​didn't leave anyone to complain after the day's training.

After this party, Neymar got closer to several brothers in the team.

The price, that is the crazy output of The Sun today.

The arrival of Alves was already a big news, and the photo of several people having fun together in a nightclub made the fans of the two countries discuss it even more.

I can't say what to blame, but there are still some discordant voices when Sheffield United is about to start a war with Liverpool.

However, with a new round of the Premier League coming soon, fans still turned their attention back to the game.

Sheffield United played well enough and won the strong dialogue, so there is nothing to say.

The occasional relaxation during the season is nothing more than the players are not robots, they all need their own social activities.

But if you can't play well, then wait to be besieged by public opinion.

Speed ​​also laughed in private and said that the media helped him a lot. He didn't need to mobilize any more, and the players consciously cheered up.

On the afternoon of September 9th, the two teams had a full rest and had no reason to avoid the battle. They met at the Bramall Lane Stadium.

When the players from both sides met, they greeted each other very friendly, but when they got into their respective warm-up sessions, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

In all fairness, the two teams have no grievances at the club or team level. On the contrary, many players in the two teams appreciate each other very much.

For example, Li Mo and Suarez, Gerrard and Drinkwater have spoken well of each other in interviews with reporters more than once.

Coupled with the relationship between Dirk and Dirk, the two clubs seldom have a sense of rivalry. At least in the past two seasons, the two teams have not regarded each other as competitors in the same echelon.

To put it bluntly, it is true that Liverpool have not been qualified to compete with Sheffield United in the past two seasons.

But reality has changed so quickly.

After a short offseason, Liverpool, which was still in a "down and out" state last season, suddenly became the seed player in the first echelon of the Premier League.

Even though Sheffield United players still appreciate Liverpool players subjectively, instinctively, they have added a layer of competitiveness to each other.

This is a competition among the top teams, and there is no need to exaggerate too much. Out of the pursuit of results, their fighting is inevitable.

Sheffield United has nothing to respond to Liverpool's challenge. Liverpool will go all out in this game, and they will naturally.

However, before the start of the battle, Li Mo and Suarez's winking interaction still added a touch of fun to the game.

At least the tension of the fans on both sides has eased a lot.

When the game officially started, the high-intensity confrontation immediately cheered up the fans from all walks of life.

Suarez's minor injury made him miss the first three league rounds of the new season.

But after coming back from the fourth round and scoring goals, he has scored four goals in the current two rounds, second only to Li Mo who scored eleven goals, van Persie who scored five goals, and his teammate Sturridge Together they rank third in the Premier League scorer list.

His ferocious momentum of chasing points made many Manchester United fans worried.

After all, General Fan is now 30 years old. Although his scoring ability is still strong, it is not as good as the previous two years.

Last season, he was able to retain the title of the Premier League's second scorer, but this season seems to be hanging. Suarez is younger and is approaching the pinnacle of his career.

Sure enough, as soon as the game started, Suarez entered a state of excitement. It didn't look like an occasional outbreak, but it seemed more like another self-breakthrough.

The players in Sheffield United's midfield and backcourt have once again realized his difficulty.

Suarez's running position is very thieves, but he is not the kind of pure stealing player who has no confrontation ability. When the opportunity comes, he can become very tough. With comprehensive skills, he is simply the type of center that defensive players hate to encounter.

Well, apart from his love of diving, he is almost another all-around center forward in the Premier League.

A smaller version of Li Mo, his scoring ability and confrontation ability are not as strong as Li Mo, but in terms of the various necessary skills of a center forward, he is not necessarily inferior to Li Mo.

In addition to him, Liverpool also has Sturridge, who ushered in a big explosion this season. The two forwards played together. In order to show respect, Sheffield United chose to defend safely at the beginning.

After all, Sheffield United's current four-three-three formation has one less midfielder and is more offensive, but it also needs to face greater pressure on the defensive end.

Fortunately, before De Bruyne adapts to the new position, there is still Medel, who has plenty of individual energy, who can top him.

The attributes of him and Drinkwater's immortality greatly eased Matic's interception pressure, so even with a three midfielder, Sheffield United did not lose the slightest in the opening confrontation with Liverpool.

Speed ​​originally planned to let Bell and Neymar also retreat when necessary, playing four-five-one on the defensive end, and spreading out the two wings when attacking.

Now it seems that this is not necessary. The positions of the two wingers can continue to be placed at the high positions on the wings, threatening Liverpool's hinterland at all times.

Taking on a little more defensive pressure, in exchange for a more efficient and threatening counterattack, Speed ​​thinks it is worth it.

Rogers can also see Sheffield United's tactical intentions today, but he also has enough reasons to bear such defensive risks and continue to insist on supporting the offensive players in the frontcourt.

Because the striker combination in his team is also in good condition.

Sturridge scored four consecutive games and Suarez scored four goals in two games. There is no reason for him not to fight with Sheffield United.

Because this is Liverpool's most powerful weapon now. In terms of defense, Liverpool, which has shrunk its fists, cannot be compared with Sheffield United anyway.

So if you want to make the most of your own advantages, you have to fight for offense.

In the 7th minute of the first half, Liverpool passed a sudden diagonal pass from the side to make Suarez almost run through Sheffield United's rib defense zone!

Today, Matic's disadvantage of being almost one-man lagging behind was also revealed. Fortunately, Vertonghen's bold attack stopped Suarez.

Although it gave Liverpool a chance to set the ball in the front court, the defense was successful this time.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Speed ​​thought about it, and decided to let Drinkwater drop back to the midfielder first, and then talk with Matic to control the scene.

The area around the top of the center circle is handed over to Medel. He would rather put Liverpool in his own half to play, and the rib defense area must be consolidated first.

This position is too sensitive and dangerous. Suarez and Sturridge are not slow.

Speed ​​doesn't want to gamble on the odds, especially when he's facing two forwards who are in exceptional form.

Facts have proved that Speed's adjustment is still very timely.

In the next five or six minutes, Liverpool used Sheffield United's wing and rib defense area to make a fuss, and tried to play behind Sheffield United's defense three times.

The retreating Drinkwater and Matic cooperated very well. With two wonderful tackles and a foul, Liverpool's offensive ended without a problem.

But Liverpool's bold attempt today has indeed brought a great test to Sheffield United's defensive system.

So much so that in the No. 15 minute of the first half, Sheffield United made their first threatening counterattack of the game.

Li Mo did not become the finisher this time. He used the fulcrum to ferry the ball to Medel, who was inserted in the middle, and Medel and Neymar completed the counterattack cooperation this time.

Neymar's final pass was chased and destroyed by Skrtel, and it failed to reach Bell, who was behind the goal, otherwise Bell could get a shot without saying anything.

However, the threat of this counterattack is still great. Both sides come and go, playing their own tactical characteristics.

The rhythm of the game is also full, the scene is beautiful, the fans are naturally very satisfied, and there are more discussions on the details of the game.

But just when everyone thought that the opportunity to break the balance of the game had to wait, Li Mo forcibly tore open Liverpool's backcourt defense with a "Neymar" style performance!
In the 18th minute of the first half, Medel, who made a successful steal, immediately passed the ball to Li Mo, who retreated to meet him.

Neymar ran sideways and raised his hand to ask for the ball, while Bell was in a retracted position and acted as a receiving point.

Judging from Sheffield United's tactical play in the past few games, Li Mo doesn't break through with the ball very much at present, and usually the wingers on both sides do the job.

Therefore, Henderson also moved closer to Neymar's position appropriately, and was prepared to guard against Neymar's dribbling breakthrough in the future.

Li Mo was uncharacteristically, when he should pass the ball most, he stopped passing the ball!
When he turned around with the ball and strode towards Lucas with the ball in his stride, Gerrard yelled inwardly that he was not good, and roared decisively to return to the defense.

Li Mo's long-distance running performances in the Premier League in the first two seasons left a deep impression on him.

The tactics on the court will change, the tactical responsibilities of the players will change, but the skills will not change in a short period of time!

It's because Li Mo has teammates to help him share the tactical responsibilities, so he doesn't play sprinting and blasting much for the time being, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know how to do it himself.

Gerrard's reaction was quick, but his speed was not as fast as Li Mo's advance speed.

When he led his teammates to chase back desperately, Lucas, who was serving as the midfielder today, had already been overtaken by Li Mo!

This has nothing to do with the sense of position or defensive skills. It's simply that Lucas couldn't keep up with Li Mo's speed. He didn't even have time to make foul moves, so he was crushed abruptly!
Agger had no choice but to save the penalty area and try to intercept, but Li Mo pushed the ball lightly to the area vacated by him.

A nimble figure slanted into the penalty area from the side, and directly chose to push the ball against Li Mo's through ball!
"Neymar! Oh! Mignolet didn't catch it! The ball went in! The ball went in!!! He hit the goal without stopping the ball! This shot was crisp enough! Li Mo, Li Mo! It's Li Mo again! Mo launched a counterattack relying on his personal ability, this is not an opportunity! Rogers spread his hands, looking like he was about to faint, how to defend? This is really impossible!"

Zhan Jun was both excited and helpless at the moment.

Rogers' tactics are fine, and Lucas' positioning is fine. If it's true, it can only be said that Gerrard hasn't had time to return to defense after participating in the offense this time.

But this is completely nitpicking, meaningless.

It can only be said that Li Mo's promotion choice this time is too decisive, and his personal ability is too strong!

Looking at Li Mo, who was hugging and celebrating with Neymar at the bottom line, the Liverpool fans could only hold their heads and be speechless.

The fans of Sheffield United are in a surprise carnival. Such a goal is like a surprise gift!
You have no expectations for its arrival, so naturally you are not psychologically prepared, but it just comes, and it is still your favorite thing!
So how can they not be excited and happy?

The other onlookers also became excited.

The balance of the game has been broken, and Liverpool has no other way out except to increase their offensive. In other words, the two teams will enter a more intense game rhythm!

They don't care who wins and who loses.

They just want to see "rivers of blood"!
