1.035 is far ahead
Ribery ran along the flanks with the ball, grabbed the opponent's defense in front of the cross, the opposing defenders were attracted by the previous goal and an assist Blatten before the game, not noticing that Sheffield Wednesday also had a fast horse, the right side of the Belion rushed to the ball, took the ball at the back post, and smashed the ball into the Sheffield United goal.
3:0, Sheffield Wednesday took a three-goal lead in the first half, the whole Heath was boiling, the shouts of fans inside and outside the stadium broke through the sky, fans raised their hands, gestured three fingers, and chanted in unison "3:0, 3:0~~~"
The Sheffield United players seemed to have been knocked down by this goal, they were so depressed that they didn't even have the interest to restart, and they stood on the pitch like lost lambs.
The first half of the game was over quickly, hearing the referee's half-time whistle, the Sheffield United players seemed to run away, running off the pitch with their heads down amid the shouts of "3:0" all over the field, and the Sheffield Wednesday players waved their hands and entered the players' tunnel amid the cheers of the fans.
At halftime, Li Chengfeng had nothing to say, and he was happy in his heart, not to mention other games, just by virtue of two consecutive big wins over the derby opponent, as long as he didn't make two mistakes, his position on Sheffield Wednesday would be as stable as Mount Tai. Li Chengfeng couldn't hide the smile on his face, but he still had to say what he should explain, and he tried to make his tone look serious, "The game is not over yet, we can't be careless, if they turn the tables, then we will become the biggest joke." ”
Having said that, the players didn't take it very seriously, and it's no wonder that even Lee Seung-peak didn't think Sheffield United would have a chance to turn around, and if they could have that quality, they wouldn't have fallen behind by three goals in the first half.
But Sheffield United don't want to give up just yet, although the chances of equalising are slim, but at least one goal has to be scored, this is a derby, you can't just die like this. They stepped onto the pitch with desperate determination, but Sheffield Wednesday's players were unaware that Sheffield United had the upper hand on the pitch.
At half-time, Sheffield United replaced a defender and added a midfielder in an attempt to fight for control of the midfield. Their tweaks worked, and after being equal in numbers with Sheffield Wednesday, although their possession skills were not as good as Sheffield Wednesday's players, they made up for the gap with their strong will and non-stop running, and even did better, and Sheffield Wednesday gradually fell behind in the battle for midfield.
Li Chengfeng sensed that the situation on the court was not good, and he knew that he needed to make changes, but he did not know what he could do. The passivity of the team's situation on the field is more due to the psychological reasons of the players, rather than tactical problems, no matter how you adjust, if the mentality of the players on the field cannot be adjusted quickly, the passivity of the situation on the field cannot be changed.
Their players are still too young, and they are a little overwhelmed when they encounter a little difficulty, and the normal ones on the field are Guardiola and Schmeichel Jr., if it weren't for Schmeichel's brave performance, I am afraid that he would have been scored by Sheffield United.
Although Pep Guardiola tried to calm his teammates down, the Guarin, who were already out of control, could not do so, they could not calmly control the ball at their feet, fearing that the opponent would cut the ball off from their feet, so they always rushed the ball, which caused more mistakes.
Seeing Guardiola stumbling alone in the midfield, Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth and simply replaced Belion with a high school striker Holt, and at the same time let him bring a new tactic, give up ball control, defend with all his might, and use the speed on both sides to counterattack in the frontcourt, and the center responds.
When Li Chengfeng pulled Holt to explain his tactics, Li Chengfeng heard the exclamation of the bench, was there something wrong? Did the opponent score? Lee looked up and saw that it was Sheffield United who had won a penalty and the referee was showing a yellow card to Pep Guardiola.
The situation is not good, if the opponent breaks the goal at this time, Sheffield Wednesday's young players will be even more flustered, and it is not impossible to continue to concede goals or even lose the game. Li Chengfeng didn't care about saying much, but once again Team Holt emphasized the need to defend, and after playing a defensive counterattack, he asked him to go to the referee on the sidelines and wait for the dead ball to come on the field.
Li Chengfeng nervously watched the opponent's midfielder Brown prepare to take the penalty, he was already mentally prepared for this conceded goal, and only hoped that after the adjustment, his boys could stabilize, you know, the strength of the Sheffield Wednesday team is stronger than the opponent, and it is still two goals ahead, as long as he does not make a mess, he will not lose this game.
However, Schmeichel Jr. gave Li Chengfeng a bigger surprise, his father's soul possessed at this moment, and he actually saved the opponent's penalty kick, and firmly pressed the opponent's supplementary shot under him.
The stadium was boiling, the fans chanted Schmeichel's name, and at this moment, there was only one voice in the stadium: "Casper, who is he, he is Casper." "In the hearts of Sheffield Wednesday fans, he is no longer just the son of Manchester United legend Kasper Schmeichel, he is the only Casper.
Li Chengfeng also roared excitedly, waving his fists vigorously, and his heart was extremely excited: "See, this is the player I introduced, they will definitely shock England." ”
The game continued, perhaps because of the encouragement of Casper's brave performance, the performance of Sheffield Wednesday's youngsters began to return to normal, and with tactical adjustments, Sheffield United's attack gradually lost its threat. Sure enough, a good goalkeeper can top the top half of the team, Li Chengfeng can't kiss Casper a few times, and he will be promoted to the Premier League when he turns around, so he must be given a contract of sufficient weight.
Sheffield United, who missed the penalty, seemed to lose their morale along with the penalty, and their attack began to become weak, but it was Sheffield Wednesday's counter-attack that threatened a few times. In the 78th minute of the game, Sheffield Wednesday broke the ball and counterattacked, and Guardiola saw that the opponent did not press up, so he took a decisive foot and shot into the net from nearly 40 meters away.
Seeing that it was already 4 goals behind, Sheffield United completely gave up resistance, Li Chengfeng also began to replace the main force, commanding the team to slow down the pace, the league is still long, since the other party has given up, he can't make a desperate effort, this is a derby after all, if he pushes it too hard, let them hurt one or two of their main forces, and they don't know where to cry. The only weakness of your team right now may be the bench, so it's better not to take too many risks.
After the game, Sheffield United manager Wallock was not convinced, and in his opinion the outcome of the game could have been different if that second-half penalty had been scored.
Lee Chengfeng certainly couldn't show weakness, and immediately said that such an assumption was meaningless, and even if that penalty was scored, Sheffield Wednesday would still be two goals ahead, and the result of the game would not change in any way, "The stronger team won, that's it. ”
"It's just a matter of luck, and the next game will be different." Coach Volok is still pushing the envelope.
"Then we'll see you in the next game, if Mr. Volok has the next one." Li Chengfeng continued to pour salt on the wounds of Coach Warlock, now Sheffield United's situation is not good, outside the 10th place, even the play-off hope is not big, which makes the management of Sheffield United for the purpose of promotion very dissatisfied, it is said that Coach Warlock's position has been unstable, coupled with two consecutive derby fiascos, it has made the management lose patience with him, if not for the lack of suitable replacement, I am afraid that he would have left class long ago.
The big win in the derby made the whole team of Sheffield Wednesday extremely excited, as if they had gained everything, and after a few days they were still immersed in the joy of the derby victory, talking about their performance, Li Chengfeng saw it in his eyes, but he didn't break it, and now it is basically impossible to calm down these young people with words, only setbacks will make them grow faster.
Sure enough, the next game made the youngsters realise as they were held to a 2-2 draw at home by promoted Horse Plymouth. Plymouth are just a relegation-seeking team, much weaker than Sheffield Wednesday, and this draw is entirely due to Sheffield Wednesday's own problems. It was as if all the energy had been exhausted in the last game, and the players on the pitch were very bad, they didn't have the tension they should have in the game, they didn't do a good job of running and defending, and they were lucky to concede only two goals. Fortunately, the individual strength of the players is still there, and relying on singles can also get a draw against weak opponents.
After the game, Lee Seung-peak did not criticize his players, which is the only way for young people to grow, and such an experience can make them grow faster. Lee Seung-bong took all the responsibility to defend his players, but such a move made these young people feel even more ashamed, and they took the initiative to find Lee Seung-peak to apologize, hoping to make amends for their mistakes. To this, Li Chengfeng just replied with a smile, "You don't need to apologize, I like to win, the more the better." ”
"We'll do it, we promise."
Sheffield Wednesday's youngsters were rejuvenated in the next game, running the pitch and fighting hard to beat the old Championship side to a comfortable 3-0 win away from home.
In the following games, the players of Sheffield Wednesday did not relax, and the results were getting better and better, and the gap with the team behind them was getting wider and wider, and soon the gap with the team behind them widened to as many as 10 points.
