Chapter 69 What is the attack core?
Chapter 69 What is the attack core?
Drinkwater's retracement organization vacated part of the midfield position he originally occupied.
Although Stephen Quinn played as a right midfielder this time, his actual position is slightly closer to the center.
Similar to playing a front midfielder, it gives enough space to the right side, so that Matthew Lorton can plug in at any time.
And when Matthew Lorton attacks, Stephen Quinn will also retreat slightly to the wing to help him defend.
In this way, with Drinkwater and Montgomery dragging behind, Stephen Quinn sweeping the frontcourt and responsible for wiping Matthew Lorton's ass, Sheffield United's midfield defense can be improved again.
It's just that Stephen Quinn's pass threat ability is average, and Li Mo and Vardy may get a little less through pass from the midfield than before.
However, the long pass initiated by Brother Drinking Water from the backcourt can still hit the opponent's back accurately, and the chances of Li Mo and Vardy's counterattack will increase accordingly.
Coupled with Matthew Lorton's bolder insertion, the two wing crosses and the bottom-cut routine can still provide Li Mo with offensive support. The overall offensive threat is not reduced, but the offensive method has changed a little.
Li Mo, who had been holding back for a while, was very active at the beginning of the game.
When Drinkwater's pass was still a bit stable, he retreated many times to get the ball and push it forward.
Relying on Li Mo's current ball-handling skills, it is relatively stable to take the ball to the frontcourt. With him as the center of the attack, the two sides also attack slowly.
After Drinkwater returned to normal, Li Mo stayed in the frontcourt and put his energy into the competition with the defenders of Cardiff City.
This has almost become his current playing habit.
At the beginning of the game, he will confront the opponent's defender with the ball many times, or entangle with running without the ball.
It depends on which defender's confrontation ability, speed, or flexibility is not good enough, which can be used as a breakthrough.
Of course, it is also necessary to observe whether the opponent is using double-teaming tactics or man-marking tactics for him in this game. After a few games, this kind of probing has become an opening routine for Li Mo.
But now most of the British Championship teams will choose to double-team when facing Li Mo. It is impossible to mark the man.
Choosing to use man-to-man tactics to deal with Li Mo's team has more or less contributed to Li Mo's famous scene of eating defenders raw.
Now the defenders in the British Championship, the few stronger than Li Mo, are all heavy central defenders, whose speed is crushed by Li Mo.
Those who ran faster than Li Mo basically kicked the sideways, and when they met Li Mo, they were squeezed away. How to prevent them.
Still have to double-team, even if Li Mo can pass the ball, it is better to let other offensive players of Sheffield United to shoot than let Li Mo take the ball close to the penalty area.
This is what Cardiff City is doing now. Li Mo doesn't force the ball, but gives the ball to other teammates steadily in the frontcourt.
In the first half, Vardy threw away the defensive player in a No.20 two-minute run. Li Mo's pass was timely, but Vardy didn't know what was going on, so he chose to volley the ball non-stop. Shot the ball away.
After another 5 minutes, Matt Ridge knocked the ball back after breaking through from the left. Li Mo took the Cardiff City full-back who was interfering with him and missed the ball. Stephen Quinn pushed in and was shot by The focused Cardiff City goalkeeper confiscates the ball.
Li Mo's activeness created two excellent shooting opportunities for his teammates within half an hour, but it was a pity that he did not score a goal.
But Li Mo didn't say much. Every opportunity on the court may not necessarily lead to a goal, which is normal.
What Li Mo is more concerned about is that compared to when he just played in the British Championship, he feels that his ability and awareness of playing football have improved too much now.
This is something that cannot be measured by changes in ability values. It is more about the accumulation of experience and the improvement of the tacit cooperation between teammates.
And this point, the audience watching the game and everyone off the field, have actually seen it.
In addition to frequently holding the ball at the beginning of this game, Li Mo spends the rest of the time running around or helping his teammates with the ball. He seems to be very active, but he doesn't have much desire to score.
And under his frontcourt connection, Vardy, Matt Ridge, and even Stephen Quinn all performed completely differently from the previous game.
Li Mo was able to transfer the ball to Cardiff City's weak defensive side under double-teaming. As long as the Sheffield United players get the ball at this time, they are a threat.
Vardy's running position was supported by Li Mo's non-stop passing, and he frequently made risks, instead of being called offside by the linesman like in the previous game.
The Sheffield United offensive players around Li Mo played very well, and it can even be said that the more they played, the better they played.
Let the commentary of the live broadcast shout "There is magic in Li's body!"
But the players and coaches of Cardiff City are very uncomfortable.
You double-team Li Mo, according to his performance in this game, he can kill Cardiff City with the ball.
But why don't you double-team, what if Li Mo dribbles the ball by himself later?
Li Mo's long-range shot against the Rangers can be described as earth-shattering. No Championship team dared to bet on whether Li Mo could still come up with such a kick.
In this entanglement, Cardiff City's offense has not yet taken off, and the defensive end has been hit hard.
In the 306th minute of the first half, Li Mo faced Cardiff City's central defender with a header in the penalty area and returned it. Vardy's volley in the penalty area was blocked by the Cardiff City player with his body.
Everyone thought that Sheffield United's attack was over. Unexpectedly, Li Mo suddenly pulled out of the penalty area and retreated to signal Stephen Quinn, who got the ball, to pass the ball again.
Stephen Quinn didn't hesitate, and quickly passed the ball to Li Mo, but Li Mo took the ball with his back and took a step sideways, looking like he was going to turn around.
Immediately, two defensive players from Cardiff City came out to block Li Mo's possible shooting angle.
Before the game, the coach repeatedly explained that in this game, as long as Li Mo has a chance to get the ball directly in front of the penalty area, he must step forward to block the interference as soon as possible.
As a result, after Li Mo dribbled the ball horizontally, he rubbed the ball with his left foot. The football crossed a small arc and flew straight to the left side of the penalty area of Cardiff City.
"Lee, come back to catch the ball, is he going to turn around and shoot?! No, Lee lobs the ball into the Cardiff City penalty area, Matt Ridge! Shot!!! GOALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
There are still many question marks in the commentator's mind, such as how did Matt Ridge break into the restricted area of Cardiff City?How did Li Mo see Matt Ridge move?
But now that Sheffield United has scored a goal that broke the deadlock, the commentator can only pay attention to this goal for the first time, and other questions can only be raised later.
Off the court, the head coach of Cardiff City spread his hands to his assistants, his face full of helplessness.
To be honest, the Cardiff City players did a good enough job of restricting Li Mo in the first half. At least they haven't allowed Li Mo to get a chance to shoot, right?
But he couldn't stop it. Li Mo didn't need to score a goal. After he brought out enough defensive forces, he could continue to create opportunities for other Sheffield United players.
How to prevent this?You can prevent him from holding the ball, but you can't prevent him from passing the ball!
This kid's ability to play the ball is getting stronger and stronger, and he can't be trapped, unless all his teammates are out of shape, and then let him face double-teams recklessly, but is this possible?
Cardiff City is having a headache, but the Sheffield United bench is full of joy.
Speed and the assistant coach laughed and clapped their hands to celebrate. As soon as Li Mo came back, any offensive problems would not be a problem.
Looking at the offense in the first half, I can describe it in one word, comfortable~
Brothers, I had a great chat with the editor today. I will go to Sanjiang this weekend. During Sanjiang, there will be three updates every day, and then it will be on the shelves next week. I didn’t expect it to be so fast, ^_^.
Over the past month, many brothers have been silently voting for this book and giving rewards. Foodie is really grateful to everyone. The results of this book have been very good so far. I really appreciate the support of all brothers.
During the Sanjiang period, I also hope that you can strongly support this book. Foodies still hope to have a good collection and recommendation results before it goes on the shelves. Thanks again, brothers~
