Chapter 59
On the afternoon of April 4th, the Sheffield United team took the bus south to London.

Queens Park Rangers can also be regarded as a veteran team in the London area, and near its club, there are two Premier League teams, Chelsea and Fulham.

Because the Rangers have almost locked in a promotion spot this season, next season in the London area, plus Arsenal and Tottenham, there will be as many as five teams competing in the Premier League.

This is the only one in the five major leagues.

And because there are too many teams, in the London area, the games between different teams are divided into different "London derbies".

What North London, South London, West London, Greater London Derby and so on, fans who are watching a Premier League game for the first time will definitely be confused.

But to say that the most eye-catching one is naturally the Chelsea VS Arsenal VS Tottenham game.

Li Mo has received the attention and solicitation of the Gunners Arsenal, and this time he came to London, he also wanted to visit the stadiums of Arsenal and Chelsea.

But the time is relatively tight, and I still have to wait until after the game against the Rangers to see if there is a chance to go shopping.

I had a good night's rest in the hotel where I stayed. On April 4th, the Sheffield United team had a tactical meeting in the hotel in the morning, and after a nap, they went to the Loftus Road Stadium to step on the field.

The performance of Queens Park Rangers in the British Championship this season can be described as a "big devil".

In fact, their defensive players are not very outstanding in personal ability, but they are all experienced and capable. The defensive system is very complete, and the average conceded goals per game does not exceed 0.7.

On the offensive end, although the rangers' firepower is not very strong, they have an offensive midfielder and a reliable attack group that have exploded this season. The wolf pack tactics make it difficult for other teams in the British Championship to target.

This explosive midfielder is Tarabut, a talented Moroccan player who moved to Tottenham when he was 18 years old, but unfortunately he never got a good chance to play.

After being loaned to Queens Park Rangers last season, he handed in an excellent answer sheet with 7 goals and 7 assists in a single season.

And this season, he is fully fired. So far, he has handed over the data of the league's Double 30 and scored more than [-] goals alone, helping the Queens Park Rangers to firmly occupy the first place in the British Championship.

This data also makes various London teams interested in this former talent again.

However, the Rangers have bought out Tarabut from Tottenham, and Tarabut is also grateful to the Rangers for giving him the opportunity and trust. It seems that he has no idea of ​​​​transfer.

In addition to Tarabut, the Rangers midfielder also has a name familiar to Premier League fans, Routledge.

The wide player who will become famous in Swansea in the future also hit double-five data in the Rangers this season, which is a sharp edge for the Rangers.

Speed ​​has repeatedly emphasized that Sheffield United's backcourt players need to keep an eye on Tarabut and Routledge today.

Both of these two have a strong dribbling and breakthrough ability, and their speed is very fast. If they don't pay attention, they will tear the line of defense.

On the offensive end, today Sheffield United mainly focuses on counterattacks. Vardy and Li Mo are paired as two forwards. Using their speed and Li Mo's personal ability, see if they can take the lead in the counterattack.

As for the formation, it has changed back to the previous 352. The three central defenders are still Maguire, Northworthy and Chris Morgan, the double midfielders Stephen Quinn and Montgomery, the central midfielder Drinkwater, and the two wings are still. Matt Ridge and Matthew Lorton.

In this game, Sheffield United is still the main force. After this game, several veterans in the defense and midfield will start to rotate, and strive to maintain a good state and health.

Li Mo knows that the battle between Sheffield United and Rangers in the middle is the focus today.

One is to cut off the connection between Tarabut and other Rangers offensive players, so that he can pass the threatening ball inadvertently, and the other is to force the Rangers to devote more attention and more troops to the competition in the midfield area, and let the opponent Also rely on their striker's personal ability to attack.

Li Mo and Vardy may not get much support from the midfield, but the same goes for the opposing forwards.

After Speed ​​used the exchange tactics to paralyze the midfield organization on the opposite side, and also abolished the organization of his own team, it depends on whether Li Mo can create opportunities.

At least Li Mo's personal ability is far superior to that of the Rangers striker, and when the time comes, it will be up to which side to score first.

The tactical thinking is very clear, and Li Mo is already used to this kind of pressure.

By [-]:[-] p.m., players from both sides were gearing up and standing in the player tunnel.

The Rangers' home stadium can only accommodate more than 20000 people, which is far less than Sheffield United's home stadium. However, the Rangers' performance this season is very good. The atmosphere created by the home fans is very hot, which makes many Sheffield United players feel faintly. pressure.

After the players from both sides poured out of the player tunnel with the referee, boos like mountain hoots sounded in the Loftus Road Stadium.

The more than 1000 Sheffield United fans who accompanied the team on the away game were like boats submerged by the waves, unable to make a sound.

After the captains of the two sides chose sides, the game officially started at 45:[-]!
In this round of the focus of the British Championship, many reporters and media were present at the scene. Everyone wanted to see a wonderful offensive and defensive battle and see the collision between Li Mo and the Rangers' defensive system.

But at the beginning of the game, the two sides launched an extremely fierce fight in the midfield, and the forwards on both sides rarely even got the ball.

This surprised many reporters.

Most of the Rangers' offenses were initiated by Tarabut and Routledge, and Speed's tactics against the Rangers' midfield played an obvious role.

Matthew Lawton kept a close eye on Tarabut, and Stephen Quinn on one side was always ready to double-team him. On the other side, Routledge was fast, but Matridge could barely keep up with him, and behind him Andy Taylor is always ready to help.

After the opening, even Drinkwater retreated to help Montgomery start a midfield sweep, completely putting on a posture that I don't organize the midfield, and you don't even want to organize it.

In an important game like this, few teams would put on a stance and attack aggressively. Although Speed's approach was beyond people's expectations, he did nothing wrong.

Li Mo and Vardy are also willing to make sacrifices for the team's overall tactics. The two of them are also returning to defense, and at the same time they must be prepared to advance and counterattack at any time.

In the opening 10 minutes, almost all the frontcourt forces of the two sides fell into this strangling tactic. In the No. 12 minute, Routledge of the Rangers found a chance to get rid of the sticking of Matt Ridge and Andy Taylor. Defense, the bottom is successful for the first time.

However, Maguire defended the Rangers' center Helgusen very tightly, did not allow him to take off to compete for the top, and struggled to push Routledge's cross out of the penalty area.

Drinkwater, who received the ball from the outside, did not hesitate. He turned around with the ball and sent a long pass. At this time, Li Mo had retreated to the top of the rangers' half-court arc, bringing out a ranger's defense players.

He jumped high in the face of Drinkwater's long pass, shook his head and slid the ball back.

Vardy jumped out like an arrow from the string, instantly crossed the Rangers' first line of defense in the half, and ran for the football!

The Rangers' defensive players in the midfield had no time to intercept and could only chase back, but Vardy was so fast that few players could catch up.

It’s just that Vardy still seemed a little inexperienced in the face of the two old central defenders who were dragged behind by the Rangers. After he waded through a central defender, he barely kicked under the interference of another central defender who was closely following up and defending. The focused Rangers goalkeeper saved the baseline.

After the opening, the two sides completed a threatening attack. Li Mo patted the back of Vardy's head, who seemed a little annoyed, and entered the rangers' penalty area with his teammates, preparing to compete for the corner kick.

The game has just started, and there are still many opportunities. Li Mo is very patient.

Even if he still needs to retreat to play the ball this time, as long as he is given a chance in the Rangers penalty area, he will let the Rangers' defensive players see the gold content of the number one scorer in the British Championship!
