Chapter 5 Fame
Chapter 5 Become famous with one goal
"wonderful!"
Speed put his head in his hands and said in disbelief, but at this time his assistant coach was hugging him excitedly.
"Gary! Do you know what I saw, Zlatan! This kid plays so much like Zlatan, taking the ball, attracting defenses, and assisting!"
The assistant coach's excited words brought Gary Speed back to his senses. This sentence seemed to make sense. The center dropped back to catch the ball, dribbled to create space, and then created more opportunities for his teammates. It was a bit like Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Taste of Rakhimovich!
The center known as the Swedish Magic Tower has been killing everyone in Serie A for many years. Many people praise him as a center with his own offensive system.
He is tall, can hold the ball in the frontcourt, and has very good dribbling and passing skills. He can often drop back to catch the ball to attract the defense, and then provide wonderful assists to his teammates.
He himself is also very skilled in shooting, has a good scoring efficiency, and can cause huge damage in the penalty area. This causes defensive players to often find themselves in a dilemma when facing Ibrahimovic.
If you guard him closely, he can retreat, open up the defense, and let his teammates get more opportunities. But if you relax your vigilance against him, he can choose to go it alone, often scoring some unreasonable goals.
However, when Ibrahimovic was young, he always trusted his skills at his feet and did not like to fight hand-to-hand with defenders.
Li Mo is very different from the young Ibrahimovic in this regard. This kid seems to like to fight hand-to-hand with defenders a little too much, and he also knows how to take advantage of his physical fitness.
"We can build an offensive system around Lee, just like how Milan City uses Zlatan as the offensive center. Then won't we find a solution to our forward problems?"
The assistant teacher touched his bald head and said excitedly.
Speed's heart was moved, but he quickly forced himself to calm down. This matter still needs to be considered. There is definitely nothing wrong with giving Li Mo more playing time, but if you want to formulate offensive tactics around Li Mo, it will be a big responsibility.
The risk is too great.
"Look again, look again..."
On the court, Stephen Quinn is still a little dizzy.
A few minutes ago, he was worried about the offense on the field, but now he has scored his first goal of the season. At this time, he was also held in Li Mo's arms and ran towards his midfield.
However, his stature is relatively short. He is less than 1.7 meters tall. At this time, he is being hugged by Li Mo, who is over 1.85 meters tall. It looks a bit funny.
"Hey, Stephen, if you have a chance, as long as I raise my hand, you can pass the ball towards me. Whether it is a high ball or a low ball, if I raise my hand, you can pass it over. I will pass the ball to their defenders."
I tried it, I can beat the two fullbacks, the center backs are too slow, I can get rid of them."
Li Mo blinked and said quickly to Stephen.
Stephen suddenly realized, "So you kept asking for the ball just now, were you trying to see which of their defenders was better at breaking through?"
Li Mo smiled and did not answer, walked back to his position and stood waiting for the kick-off.
Stephen glanced at Li Mo a few more times, overturning his previous impression of Li Mo in his heart.
He originally thought that this young man was playing in a professional league for the first time and didn't know what to do, so he kept asking for the ball in the frontcourt and fighting with defenders. Now it seems that he thought Li Mo was simple.
But this is a good thing for the team. A center who uses his brain to play football may really be able to solve the current problem of the team's weak forward.
"And that's a great pass, isn't it?"
Stephen thought silently in his heart that he himself was also a beneficiary. In any case, he had subconsciously begun to identify with Li Mo.
The game started again. Bristol City's players seemed to be still affected by Sheffield United's goal, and their movements became a little nervous, especially their defenders. When they looked at Li Mo, their eyes were a little different.
At this time, they did not dare to relax their vigilance against Li Mo, but with Li Mo's wonderful pass just now, they also paid attention to other Sheffield United offensive players, and seemed a little timid.
Bristol City's formation contracted even more closely, and Sheffield United's midfielders were not polite when they saw this. After firmly occupying the initiative in the middle, they began to attack boldly.
The full-backs on both sides of Sheffield United also stepped in from time to time, and the basic passing tactics were quite effective. Li Mo was able to fight for points several times, surprising the Bristol City defenders.
They were covered in cold sweat.
But now Li Mo is surrounded by at least a midfielder and a defender. Even if his physical fitness is excellent, it will be difficult to find 1v1 opportunities under such tight surveillance.
However, Li Mo didn't mind. Instead, he seemed to enjoy this kind of confrontation. He took the initiative to find Bristol City's central defenders for hand-to-hand combat several times, which made the two central defenders miserable.
Under Li Mo's repeated attacks, Bristol City's defense seemed a little fragmented.
Sheffield United's midfielder also knows very well. Bristol City has tightened their formation now and piled people in the penalty area. It is difficult to attack on the ground. It is better to use Li Mo's high altitude advantage, even if he can't get in.
, disrupting Bristol City's defense, other players may get shooting opportunities.
For a while, it was Bristol City's turn to be in chaos in the penalty area, but now, it seems that Lady Luck is off work.
In addition to several threatening Li Mo's header challenges, long-range shots from other Sheffield United players either missed the goal or hit Bristol City players.
Even Montgomery, who had been lagging behind, took a kick, but it had no effect. Instead, the game time passed quickly.
Sheffield United's attack was noisy. After Li Mo was marked by many people, they seemed to have no better way to attack with one less player.
However, Stephen Quinn still remembers what Li Mo said to him, as long as Li Mo raises his hand to request, he will pass the ball without hesitation.
But Li Mo has been staying in the Bristol City penalty area and has not raised his hand to ask for the ball. Stephen Quinn has no choice but to continue to wait.
The field time had passed 85 minutes, and it was about to enter stoppage time. Sheffield United once again won a corner kick.
The team's captain, center back Chris Morgan, trotted into the penalty area. Li Mo stood next to the old captain like the previous times, but he suddenly covered his mouth and said something in the old captain's ear.
It attracted great attention from the Bristol City defender.
Usually at this time, if you want to score a header, the team's center or the center back with the best header will ask another person to help him "screen and roll".
In the past few times, Li Mo directly competed with Bristol City's defenders for the first point. Did he choose to let Chris Morgan help him attract firepower this time?
Under the surprised gaze of the Bristol City centre-back, Li Mo dragged Chris Morgan's arm and hid slightly behind the old captain. When the full-back of Sheffield United took the corner kick moved, Bristol City's penalty area suddenly
It turned into a mess.
But this time Sheffield United made a tactical coordination. The full-back kicked the corner kick, but instead of kicking it into the penalty area, it was passed to Stephen Quinn who was waiting on the side.
Stephen Quinn originally wanted to hoist the ball into the penalty area again. After all, in the current chaotic situation, the chance of scoring the ball has also greatly increased.
But in his peripheral vision, a figure suddenly ran back from the penalty area. The arms raised high were very eye-catching.
Without hesitation, Stephen Quinn passed the ball quickly.
The figure who ran out also faced the incoming ball, used the instep of his outer foot to remove the ball, and seemed to stop and move it. After a slight adjustment, relying on the strong strength of his waist and abdomen, he half-twisted his body and pulled the ball out!
Do you know what it feels like when something flashes in front of your eyes, and you only notice a strong wind shaving your face, and you don’t even see what the thing is?
Bristol City's goalkeeper knew it now.
It was a chilling feeling.
He collapsed on the ground, and behind him lay a football that was still beating. Just now, it was the same thing that hit the net behind him hard.
Apart from the jubilant visiting team's fan section, Aston Gate Stadium was completely silent at the moment.
In front of his eyes, the Sheffield United players were frantically chasing a figure towards the away team's fans' stands.
The figure stood still in front of the visiting team's fans' stand, raising his head high and holding his hands to his ears, as if listening.
The huge, crazy noise in front of him instantly drowned him. He had been waiting for five years for this moment!
"You're going to be famous with one goal, kid!"
I don't know who was shouting loudly in my ears, and Li Mo's excited face was instantly overwhelmed. These old bastards actually played a game of man on top of man on top of man!
"I'm super!"
Li Mo only pretended to be cool for a second or two, and then his power was instantly broken. He only had time to let out a howl before his teammates pushed him to the bottom layer by layer. His expression was painful but happy.
Yes, at least, in this three-point land of England, he will really become famous with one goal!
