My uncle is Inzaghi

The aftermath of the Golden Globes results is still lingering.

The media went to interview the parties one after another, and Ronaldo said in front of the media that he deserved the honor.

Messi did not say anything in front of the media.

The Catalan media, on the other hand, are in a frenzy - they always have been anyway.

The Italian media is aggrieved for Li Moming.

[Gazzetta dello Sport] said: "If Cristiano Ronaldo can win the Ballon d'Or in 2013, why can't Li Mo?"

The media in Dragon Kingdom is quite regretful.

After all, if Li Mo wins the award, they can hype up the fact that a Chinese player won the Ballon d'Or.

But unfortunately, this did not happen.

For the person involved, Li Mo.

This time the selection of the FIFA Ballon d'Or allowed him to see some of the things behind these "individual honorary awards".

Honestly.

Before this, he was quite interested in awards such as the Golden Globe Award.

But now the Golden Globe Awards have lost a lot of charm in Li Mo's eyes.

After Li Mo returned to London, he devoted himself to active training.

Fame is important, but the improvement of personal strength is even more important.

"this?!"

"Is this Lee's goal?!"

"Oh, God"

The training ground at Colney Training Base.

The Arsenal players stared blankly at Li Mo, who opened his arms and celebrated the goal passionately.

It is not unusual for Li Mo to score goals.

This is true not to mention on the training ground, but also on the official competition ground.

But this goal was different.

This is a one-stop goal.

Li Mo passed several people in a row and then sent the ball into the empty goal. Of course, this was because the Arsenal players did not expect that Li Mo would suddenly adopt his own offensive mode, but from another perspective, Li Mo Mo was able to break through a dragon with the ball and dribbling alone, which in itself is worthy of surprise.

In the surprised eyes of teammates and coaches on the sidelines.

Li Mo had an excited smile on his face.

Yes, his strength has improved again.

[Neymar Dribbling Skills Module] Integration successful!

The biggest significance of this module is not entirely that Li Mo has certain dribbling skills - Neymar's dribbling skills are not particularly practical for Li Mo, who is over 1.9 meters tall.

Many technologies have completely different effects when used at 1.7 meters and when used at 1.9 meters.

However, the successful integration of this module has greatly improved Li Mo's foot feel. His dribbling skills at his feet have become softer, and his flexibility has also improved. He can stop the ball, pass the ball, dribble, and shoot. His ball-playing skills have all been strengthened at the same time.

Li Mo now.

He can be considered a big man who can use his skills to embroider.

The other pair of clashes in the League Cup semi-finals have ended, with Sunderland reaching the final.

This result made the media look forward to the game between Arsenal and Manchester United even more.

Sunderland is not strong and is basically a promotion to the Premier League and British Championship. It is even called the little brother of Manchester United and the boy who gives away points.

Sunderland have lost 13 consecutive games to Manchester United in the Premier League.

They are indeed worthy of the title of "Manchester United's point-giving boys".

So on the Manchester United side, some media in Manchester are very excited.

It is believed that as long as Manchester United get past Arsenal, they can easily win the League Cup championship trophy. For Manchester United, which has performed extremely poorly in the league this season, winning a championship trophy can be considered a fig leaf.

For the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals.

Arsenal and Manchester United's league games have both been rescheduled.

During this period, two teams, Liverpool and Chelsea, completed the 22nd round of the competition and won successfully.

This way.

Arsenal's league ranking fell to second place, overtaken by Chelsea, with the same points as Liverpool, and Manchester City fell to fourth place - only Arsenal and Manchester City both had one game less.

But the make-up game for this one won’t be too far away – just in the middle of next week.

Although the League Cup is the weakest of the two domestic cup competitions, it is still a battle that determines who can advance to the finals. With all the hype from the media before the game, it really feels like a focus battle.

The mouths of both sides were not idle. The media, fans, and celebrities all came together to spit at each other, and the war of words was endless.

Anyway, the two sides are old rivals.

A war of words before the game is the repertoire of both sides before the big battle.

Coaches and players on both sides were also involved one after another.

Not to be outdone by each other.

As the absolute core of Arsenal's offense.

Li Mo is naturally the player mentioned most by Manchester United.

When Moyes was being interviewed, he made a point of "stepping on Li Pengfan".

"We beat them 2-0 at home in the first leg, which is enough to illustrate the problem. Manchester United cannot be weaker than Arsenal. Li Mo is indeed very good, but we have another world-class striker Robin van Persie in our team. We are better than Arsenal." Na is stronger”

"Do you think Van Persie is better than Li Mo?"

"certainly!"

Moyes answered without any hesitation.

Anyway, Li Mo is not his player, so he can't tell the truth.

In fact, Moyes feels that he has been cheated. How strong is Manchester United's lineup? A handful of first-rate players are over thirty, and the rest are second-rate mediocrities.

Moreover, the club's top management doesn't understand football at all. The Glazer family doesn't care much about the team's performance. They only care about the club's stock. When buying people, they don't consider what players the team needs, but go through the transfer market. operations to stimulate the stock market.

Manchester United is a completely broken ship now.

The stadium is in disrepair, the training ground is in dilapidation, and the facilities of the youth academy have not been updated in several years - these are areas that the media does not pay attention to, and the Glazer family simply does not want to invest money to improve them.

I really don’t know why such a team can dominate the Premier League for twenty years?

Moyes is no longer as high-spirited as when he first took office.

However, he feels that he has not yet reached the point where he is completely unable to control the Manchester United team.

He lacks authority in the locker room.

This is because he lacks championships.

If he can lead the team to win the championship, his prestige will naturally be established.

Before that, he could only lower his profile and give face to the big guys in the club.

For example, Robin van Persie

Moyes knows that Van Persie has "Li Mo's knot" in his heart.

Li Mo was called "Van Persie's successor" at first, but now the title "Van Persie's successor" is becoming more and more like a mockery of Van Persie, rather than a mockery of Li Mo.

Therefore, Moyes knew that Van Persie was holding back his energy to compete with Li Mo.

He belittled Li Mo and promoted Van Persie in front of the media, just to give Van Persie face.

He wants to win people's hearts in this way.

People's hearts are scattered.

The team is not easy to lead.

Li Mo naturally saw what Moyes was talking about.

But he didn't feel angry or unhappy, just funny.

Moyes now needs to use this method to coax the bosses in the locker room. This Manchester United ship seems to be full of holes.

But wait until the two sides meet head-on at the Emirates Stadium.

Li Mo just discovered it.

Manchester United is still very defensive on the court.

Because of this game, Manchester United deployed a five-back formation.

Three central defenders plus two full-backs, and four midfielders in the midfield.

Smalling, Vidic and Ferdinand are the three central defenders, with Evra as the left back and Phil Jones as the right back.

This line of defense is entirely designed for defense.

In midfield.

The left midfielder Rooney, the right midfielder Valencia, and the two central midfielders are Fellaini's partner Carrick - Fellaini was Moyes' old team during Everton and was transferred in last summer transfer window. Joined Manchester United.

It can be regarded as a direct descendant brought by Moyes.

But he didn't have many playing opportunities at Manchester United. Manchester United's absolute main force in the middle of the midfield is Carrick. Carrick's partner is most of the time Cleverley, sometimes Shinji Kagawa.

However, in this game, Fellaini, who is physically tough, took over as the starter, and his purpose was obviously to strengthen the defense - of course, Moyes had more than that in mind.

After all, Fellaini still has the advantage of, well, heading the ball.

In some cases, he still poses a great threat with a header.

At the front is Van Persie.

"541! Manchester United set up a 541 formation!"

In the commentary box, Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray was very surprised.

"Originally I thought it was Rooney and Van Persie playing as double centers in a 5-3-2 formation, but judging from the current position, Manchester United is not playing 5-3-2, but 5-4-1. Rooney is almost always involved in the defense at the left back position."

"Manchester United is setting up a bus!"

The commentators were very surprised.

Five defenders, four forwards.

This is almost the formation that many teams in the relegation zone put up when facing teams at the top of the standings - not seeking to defeat their opponents, but seeking a draw.

Anyway, it is to pile up people in the defensive third zone and compress the space.

The effect of this trick is quite good, otherwise how to break the bus would not have become a world-class problem.

"Manchester United set up a big formation after the opening. Of course Moyes had his reasons for doing this. After all, they were leading 2-0 in the first round, but the premise of them doing this was that they really thought they could stop Li Keqiang. Did Mo score a goal?"

The commentators started to complain.

What they are looking forward to is a strong dialogue.

Rather than a boring half-time offensive and defensive drill where one side puts on a turtle shell and sets up a bus.

Let alone a commentator.

Wenger was a little surprised. He didn't expect Moyes to make such an adjustment.

He looked at Moyes not far away in surprise.

Moyes crossed his arms and looked calm.

He knew it would be ugly.

But he knew better that being overturned by Arsenal with a two-goal lead would be even more ugly.

It's not like he hasn't thought about taking advantage of the two-goal lead to fight against Arsenal. Arsenal's defense doesn't look good anyway.

But when he thought about Li Mo, his scalp went numb.

In the end, it was decided to shrink the defense honestly.

Stick to the penalty area and counterattack in isolation when there is an opportunity. If the opportunity is not obvious, you would rather give up the offense than expose the space in the backcourt.

Football is a game of utilizing space.

I contracted completely.

No matter how strong your Arsenal is, it will be very difficult to break through such a defense.

Many of Li Mo's goals were scored through counterattacks, playing behind the ball, and during transitions between offense and defense.

There are really not many times when you can really break through the bus formation with hard bridges and hard horses.

And most of the time, they score against weak teams at the lower reaches of the standings.

Those teams that are in danger of being relegated naturally cannot compare with Manchester United in terms of lineup.

Manchester United's players are still much stronger than those of weaker teams in terms of personal abilities.

Not to mention Vidic and Ferdinand, they are world-class central defenders.

Smalling is also an England international.

Carrick is also an England international.

Fellaini is a Belgian international.

To be able to become a national footballer, there is no need to doubt one's personal ability.

These players with stronger personal abilities are definitely better than those lower-tier teams when they form a bus formation.

Since it is not easy for Li Mo to attack the dense formations of those downstream teams.

That faced Manchester United's dense defense.

Naturally it is even more difficult.

Li Mo was absent from the first round match between the two sides, which was great luck for Manchester United.

Although reaching the final in this way will be criticized by people for "not winning", Moyes can't control that much.

When he first became the head coach of Manchester United, he still cared about the face of the wealthy club.

But now he's about to be fired.

Does face still matter?

Reach the final, win the League Cup, and keep his coaching position.

That's what matters.

Li Mo was also surprised. He had never encountered an opponent setting up a bus before.

But it was the first time he had seen a team of Manchester United's level put up such a bus formation that almost gave up attacking.

Valencia and Rooney, two players who are supposed to be attackers, are now standing at the front of the penalty area. Carrick and Fellaini in the center are near the top of the penalty area. Even Manchester United's center Robin van Persie. Not even halftime.

Manchester United

Everyone retreats!

"Isn't this too cowardly?"

Sanchez got the ball near the center circle, and no one came to guard him for a long time - his original intention was to attract the defense and then pass the ball out.

A pass is certainly gorgeous.

But on the court, sometimes you still have to hold the ball properly to attract the opponent's defensive players to move, expose the gap and then pass the ball.

Of course.

The premise is that the ball handler has sufficient skills and confidence.

But now Sanchez has the ball under his feet.

No one from the other side pounced.

Since the opponent didn't pounce, Sanchez didn't bother to pass the ball and dribbled the ball forward himself.

It wasn't until about thirty meters away from the goal that Manchester United players began to appear in front of him - they didn't pounce, but guarded him from a long shot.

Sanchez's scalp went numb when he saw the dense crowd in front of him. There was not much space at all.

He had no choice but to pass the ball to Kaka.

Cazorla recovered from his injury and resumed training, but his condition is difficult to guarantee.

So Kaka started instead of Cazorla in this game.

When Kaka got the ball, Li Mo pulled out from the penalty area. Kaka passed the ball to Li Mo's feet. Li Mo took the ball with his back and tried to turn around, but behind him were two players, Smalling and Vidic. The defense was so tight that when he turned around, he still had no chance to shoot. In the end, he had to pass the ball to the side and press into the penalty area himself.

Monreal, who got the ball on the wing, looked at the situation in the penalty area.

At this time, in the penalty area, Sanchez, Li Mo, and Walcott formed three points of competition.

At the same time, Kaka was looking for opportunities near the penalty spot.

Near the arc of the penalty area, Xhaka also came up.

The full-back Sagna on the other side also leaned towards the center, ready to pounce on the second penalty kick with Xhaka at any time.

Judging from this situation.

Arsenal have invested enough attacking players.

Under normal circumstances, direct crosses should be able to create quite a threat.

But when Monreal passed the ball, he obviously lacked confidence.

Because it's in his sight.

The penalty area is full of Manchester United players wearing white away jerseys.

The ball was passed out to find Li Mo's head.

Double-teamed by Smalling and Fellaini who returned to the penalty area, Li Mo failed to touch the ball and the ball was cleared by Vidic.

Both Smalling and Vidic have excellent defensive abilities in the air.

It was very difficult for Li Mo to complete a header against the two of them.

As for the ground

Wanting to pass the ball on the ground, he passed through the dense defense and found Li Mo in the middle.

That's even tougher.

Two minutes later, Arsenal tried a cross from the other side.

Sagna swept the ball towards the penalty area. The ball came close to the ground, but was cleared by Manchester United left back Evra at the front point.

Facing such a dense defensive formation.

Arsenal's several attacks came to nothing.

However, Manchester United's defensive confidence has been improved.

The pace of the game became very slow.

Arsenal passed the ball around from the outside, but couldn't find the space to penetrate into the penalty area. Simple crosses from the wing, whether they were ground balls or high-altitude balls, played into Manchester United's wishes.

"Manchester United's defense is too intensive. It may be difficult for Arsenal to find opportunities for a while."

The commentators shook their heads.

Wenger on the sidelines gestured to the Arsenal players not to worry.

Indeed, the most taboo thing when facing the opponent's intensive defense is to be anxious.

After all, the most important thing about breaking a bus is to have patience.

But Arsenal were two goals behind, not one.

They needed three goals to comeback.

Therefore, Arsenal does not have much time here, and patience consumes time.

Therefore, it is difficult for Arsenal's players to really have the patience to slowly and leisurely compete with Manchester United on the outside.

When I found that it became difficult for the three lines on the left, center and right to pass the ball into the Manchester United penalty area.

Arsenal began to strengthen their long-range shots.

Li Mo and Sanchez fired two long-range shots in succession.

Among them, Li Mo's long-range shot almost scored, but the ball was rubbed by Vidic and hit the crossbar.

This goal scared the Manchester United fans to death.

It also made the commentators start to be less optimistic about Manchester United's defense.

"As we all know, long shots are a conventional way to break dense defenses. It is not easy to hit the ball into the goal from outside the penalty area, but this is for other players. Li Mo's long shots are a great threat. Even if Manchester United insists on defending, they may not be able to defend it."

Manchester United's players know this too.

So, when Li Mo retreated outside the penalty area to get the ball. When you lift your foot to shoot.

In the penalty area, Ferdinand immediately shouted at Fellaini who rushed towards him: "Don't let him shoot from long range!"

Fellaini was also frightened by Li Mo's previous long shot.

He pounced hard.

He wanted to block Li Mo's shooting space as much as possible.

Li Mo originally planned to take a long shot.

But seeing Fellaini pounce so hard.

He immediately changed his attention

You have completely handed over your body weight. Wouldn't it be a waste if I don't make good use of it?

He lifted his right foot and pushed the ball forward when it came down.

Fellaini suddenly felt a coldness in his crotch. He was so shocked that he could no longer hold it back.

After the football passed between his legs, he hurriedly put his feet together, but at the same time he quickly realized that the ball had passed and no one could pass by. But when he was about to reach out to pull him, Li Mo had already I missed him.

"Li Mo. Cross your crotch!"

the commentators exclaimed.

Li Mo passed Fellaini through his crotch, but the road ahead of him was not smooth.

Vidic appeared in front of him. Vidic's defensive experience was much more experienced than Fellaini.

He stood in a position that made Li Mo very uncomfortable. He did not make any moves easily, but waited for Li Mo to bump into him.

At this moment, Li Mo made a move that surprised Vidic as well.

He stepped on the ball with his left foot, then turned around, pulled the ball, and pushed the ball forward with his right foot!

“Slalom of Marseille?!”

The commentators were all stunned.

The Marseille slalom is a technical move that many players can do.

but.

This does not seem to belong to Li Mo's type of big center.

Especially since Li Mo has never shown similar footwork before.

Moyes, who was sitting on the coaching bench, suddenly stood up.

His eyelids were twitching, and he already had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Hold your position!!"

He couldn't help shouting.

But amid the deafening cheers at the Emirates Stadium.

There is no way this sound could reach the Manchester United penalty area.

Moyes's cry was certainly justified.

Vidic was passed by Li Mo in this way.

Unexpectedly, two people passed in a row, which immediately disrupted Manchester United's defense.

There was chaos in the penalty area.

The previously orderly and intensive defense began to show holes from the point of Fellaini.

The loophole quickly evolved into an avalanche collapse.

At this time, Li Mo became a magnet, and all the Manchester United players rushed towards him.

Manchester United's players formed a whirlpool around Li Mo, and De Gea and De Gea were moving in this direction.

Judging from these actions.

Li Mo passed Fellaini and Vidic in succession, causing Manchester United players to lose their cool.

But Li Mo was very calm.

After Marseille spun past Vidic, he made another shot.

It was this action that frightened the Manchester United players into chaos, so much so that

They completely ignored the gaps elsewhere.

So when Li Mo passed the ball across to the left side of the small penalty area.

The Kaka plugged in from the back row gets a huge gap.

In such a dangerous area on the small penalty area line, he even had time to stop the ball, adjust, glance at the goalkeeper's position, and then take a push shot.

"Li Mo... pass the ball! Kaka!!"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"

amid the roars of the commentators.

The football stuck firmly to the turf and rolled across the goal line.

"Kaka! Kaka! The ball went in! In the eighth minute of the game, Arsenal broke through Manchester United's intensive defense. Manchester United only lasted eight minutes!"

Manchester United's defense only lasted eight minutes.
