Chapter 7 Sheffield Twins

"Has Harry also been transferred to the first team? I think I saw him and Li coming over for training yesterday."

"Probably so, but Harry is about to be promoted to the first team this season. The team's record is so poor now. He needs to adapt to the first team early. He might be able to play in the near future."

"Really? I went to see him and Lee play last year, and they even played together in the backcourt once. God, I swear this combination is great. The team can not worry about defense for ten years!"

"How is that possible? Didn't you see Lee's performance a few days ago? He is destined to become a great center, maybe Alan Shearer of our Sheffield United."

"No, no, no, I think he will be Zlatan of the team. That assist was so beautiful... Hey, Lee and Harry are here together, look!"

In the Haruner training base, two old club employees stopped their discussion. They looked towards the entrance of the base and saw Li Mo and another equally tall young player walking over.

The veteran employees have worked at the club for many years and are very familiar with every player in the club, especially the young players who have been promoted from the youth training camp to the first team.

Because every child from the Sherlick Youth Training Base, starting from the time he plays in the youth team, the loyal audience he gains, in addition to the elders of the players, are mostly the old employees who live nearby and have worked for the club for many years.

Li Mo was no exception. He greeted the two old employees familiarly. The tall young player next to him seemed a little shy because he had only been at Sheffield United for more than a year.

"Come on, I'm still waiting to see you two play in the first team together. It's a pity that Kyle is gone, otherwise..."

After the old employee said this, he suddenly lost interest. He encouraged Li Mo and another young player a few words, and then continued to work.

"Are they talking about Kyle Walker, the one who plays at Aston Villa now?"

A tall player named Harry said to Li Mo. Li Mo nodded and said: "Yes, I was still in U16 when Kyle left. The club couldn't refuse the transfer fee. For these old fans,

It's also sad for the club to let go of a talented player, but this sadness may not last long."

Harry looked at Li Mo curiously and said, "Why?"

Li Mo put his arms around each other's shoulders and said with a smile: "Because the two of us are the best young players in the club. When you also play in the first team, they will completely forget about Kyle."

Harry grinned, but he didn't have Li Mo's confidence.

Although he was also called a talented player when he played at Barnsley, he played as a central midfielder at that time. After switching to Sheffield United, he switched to a central defender under the guidance of the youth training coach.

It’s only been more than a year, and so far I’ve only played youth team games. I don’t know when I will be able to play in the Championship.

But for some reason, Li Mo seems to have always been optimistic about him. The first time he met Li Mo was in a youth team game. In that game, Li Mo scored three goals for their team and shined extremely brightly.

Later, I asked him to exchange jerseys.

Because Barnsley and Sheffield both belong to South Yorkshire, the youth teams of the two teams have had many matches and exchanges with each other. Li Mo's proactive show of friendship made the two of them quickly become familiar with each other during the holidays.

The two also made appointments to ride bikes or participate in other sports together, and later they developed a common hobby, reading.

Both of them had very good grades in high school. In addition to participating in various sports activities and playing football, they also often studied in the library. Their multiple overlapping hobbies made them good friends.

In 2009, after Harry joined the Sheffield United youth team, Li Mo partnered with him as a central defender several times, and the effect was very good. Soon they were known as the Sheffield United Twins.

One of them is holding back, and the other is attacking. They are both in good physical condition and have a good understanding of each other, making it difficult for the youth team coach to choose between them.

But because Li Mo had already switched to center for half a year at that time, and also showed more offensive talents, their defense combination still failed to take shape.

"I will be very satisfied if I can play in the British Championship as soon as possible. The goal you scored a few days ago was really beautiful, and there was that assist. I hope I can perform well when I play." Harry hoped.

Speaking of.

Li Mo's wonderful performance in his debut made him sincerely happy, and at the same time he was also a little envious, because it was a real one-goal success, and it was reported not only by Sheffield United, but also by the whole of England.

An Oriental player received youth training at a local club in England. He made his debut at the age of 17 and scored one goal and one assist. Even in England's second-tier league, it was a very eye-catching topic.

"Aren't you training with us these days? This must have been indicated by the head coach. The coach will return to the club in two days, and he will definitely let you into the squad for the next game.

"

Li Mo said to Harry comfortingly, because he vaguely remembered that after Harry returned to Sheffield United in his previous life, he was already the main defender of Sheffield United after one or two years. That was during the 18th World Cup.

, mentioned in an interview I saw about Harry.

However, in the following years, Sheffield United was relegated to League One, with no hope of promotion. Harry stayed for a few seasons before transferring and leaving.

Then there was that inspirational story. The talented defender honed himself in a small club, and finally was selected for the national team through hard work and joined a wealthy club. After that, in the 21-22 season, this kid because of a few emoticons and mistakes on the court.

, became popular throughout the football circle...

Thinking of this, Li Mo couldn't help but said to Harry: "I told you before that you should pay more attention to body flexibility training. Are you doing it?"

Harry scratched his head and said in confusion: "I have paid attention to some methods of flexibility training, but the coach did not tell me that I need to strengthen training in this area. Is it really necessary to practice this specifically?"

"Of course it is necessary. You see, when I partnered with you as a defender, every time I attacked, although I was able to grab most of the balls, there were also some forwards who were very flexible and tried to get rid of me. It was because I always paid attention to

Exercise your body's flexibility, so you can quickly turn around and catch up with them even if you are passed by."

Li Mo paused for a moment when he said this. After seeing Harry nodding thoughtfully, he continued: "Then what if my flexibility is not that good? After those forwards passed me easily, I was

Wouldn’t it be difficult to turn around and catch up with them?

Think about it, the coach doesn’t have high requirements for your flexibility. Is it because when they choose another central defender to partner with you, they will try to choose a type with better tracking speed and flexibility, which can make up for it.

What are your shortcomings?

However, if you go to another team in the future and your partner cannot make up for your shortcomings, the coaches of other teams in the league will regard your lack of flexibility as a breakthrough point, what should you do then?"

Harry thought for a moment and finally said to Li Mo: "What you said makes sense. From the perspective of the coach and the team, because the defense is a whole, my shortcomings can be made up for by my partners and I can use my own strength."

Strengths are fine, but from my own point of view, I have to try to avoid such shortcomings, and I know what to do."

Li Mo nodded happily after hearing this. It is indeed easy to make friends with smart people. As long as your suggestions are for their own good, they can indeed accept improvements with an open mind. But if this happens, I don't know if it will happen again in the future. "

Poor Ma Kui" JPG...

"Gogogo! Train hard. When the time comes, the two of us will lead Sheffield United back to the Premier League. By then, the names of Sheffield United's twin stars will be resounding throughout England!"

Li Mo's words made Harry Maguire think a little. Young people are always in the second half. He leads his hometown team Sheffield United back to the Premier League and becomes famous at a young age. What a bright future.

"It's a pity. It would be great if John played with us. He is also very capable."

"John? Oh, I remember that friend of yours, John Stones, right?"

Seeing Maguire nodding, Li Mo waved his hand: "Then let us get results, and then suggest to the coach that you sign your friends too, and then we can reach the Premier League together. We will be the troika of Sheffield United."

!”

"Fake, I feel a little ashamed to hear you say that."

"Young man, don't be embarrassed. How can you call me a young man if you are not arrogant? I have a more resounding nickname. From now on, you will be England's strongest defender, the true guardian of the English Channel, the Empire's Kitty Eagle, Sheffield

The sky here is clear because of you, huh huh."

Harry Maguire's face turned red. He quickly covered Li Mo's mouth and walked quickly to the training ground. These nicknames were so damn shameful. The key is that he still had a little bit of trouble in his heart! Shame, so shameful.

Shame!
