Chapter 85 Birmingham
Everton used the reserve team and Li Yu, the main player, to narrow the test on the road. The goal scorer and the hoarse head coach Moyes had to fly back to Liverpool that night.
It is not easy for Everton, who fights on the third line, to let the reserve team block the fourth round of the League Cup for themselves. The next game will not leave Everton such a good opportunity. Although the match between the quarterfinals has not been drawn, everyone knows that the quarterfinals will still play the lead in the Premier League club and be able to advance. No Premier League team in the top eight will easily give up the League Cup.
In the upcoming league, Everton played against the weak team Birmingham at home, which is a good schedule.
After arriving at Liverpool on the same plane, Moyes took Li Yu a one-day vacation to let the boy recover. Now the strongest physical strength in the first team is Li Yu. Of course, the premise is that the weird cycle problem of the stinky boy should not appear, so Moyes does not plan to move the position of Li Yu's main striker. Now It seems that Li Yu's goal efficiency in the front line is the top in the Premier League, and the holiday has become a must-do. In fact, if time permits, Moyes wants to give Li Yu one more day's holiday, but the field is really too tight. It's past 3 o'clock on the 1st to return to Liverpool, and the game will be played on the afternoon of the 3rd. It took only 48 hours for Li Yu to recover her physical fitness.
Professional players are like this. If they are members of the national team and have to fly back and forth for international events, European players are better. After all, the United Kingdom can report to their respective national teams by flying for a few hours, then South American and African players consume much more energy on the road. This phenomenon also causes the Premier League. Teams pay more attention to European players, especially local players, which is particularly obvious in small and medium-sized clubs.
In fact, the reason is that the historical problem is also a major problem. Africa and South America are not the former colonies of Britain. There are obstacles in the language. The British exclusive football culture is not easy to accept, especially the two-year African Cup for African players, which makes the club hate the key strength in the league. The players you pay a lot of money to bring in can't appear in the club, but want to participate in the African Cup. Which club can be willing?
In addition, small and medium-sized clubs are hard to buy big-name players but are affected by the national team. They can't bear such risks, so they start to avoid this impact from the selection of aid.
Like Li Yu, who has no national team competition, has become an advantage.
......
In the No. 3 game, Li Yu was still on the big list, but Moyes wanted Li Yu to play as a substitute, but in the morning training, a player was suddenly injured, and the injury was not someone else. Johnson strained his thigh during training and must be absent for at least 2 weeks.
Moyes had to put Li Yu back into the main position.
Li Yu has no complaints about this. As long as his body can keep up, he wants to play more games and accumulate his own field experience. As he plays more and more games, Li Yu does feel that the biggest shortcoming of herself and other professional players is that the accumulation of the game is not enough. He has only played for a few years, and each team is casual. The leader in the youth team is several times older than Li Yu, and the number of games is needless to say. When each player comes to the youth team, the advantages and characteristics of each player have basically been finalized. If he has his own unique style, then the young player can stand out and win the favor of the coach.
When he was at Juventus, Li Yu suffered a lot of losses and made a lot of jokes in this regard. He didn't want to be a little close to the clown in the hearts of the fans.
In addition, it seems that Li Yu is already very characteristic from the outside world. Fast speed and sharp breakthroughs are all recognized by the outside world as Li Yu's offensive weapons, but in fact, Li Yu knows that these are nothing at all. Anyone can reach such a level through the training of light brain. What he urgently needs now is to completely change what the light brain gives. Be your own, maybe people can only see the real Li Yu at that time.
In the game, he needs more game accumulation. He doesn't know how eager he is to play. Only the accumulation of a game can make Li Yu complete his shortcomings step by step.
When Moyes announced the starting list, he also specially observed Li Yu's reaction. Unexpectedly, he saw that the boy could start the stage when he heard it. At that time, his excitement was a little uncontrollable. "Young people are eager to prove their ability on the field." Thinking of this, Moyes didn't have much. What to say.
In the match with Birmingham, there is still no live signal in China. The focus of the 12 rounds of the league can not be this game. The early opening match between Arsenal and Manchester United is the focus of this round.
The final result was a 2-2 draw between the two sides. Manchester United only had a poor two-footed shot in the whole game. The scene was extremely passive and could take a point away from home. They also wanted to thank an Arsenal player, who was Arsenal's defender Gala, who put his own and his opponent's balls in a game. The doors all opened, and the family scored one goal.
Before Everton's game started, Li Yu knew the end of this round of focus battle, "Cristiano Ronaldo scored another goal!"
Thinking of the Portuguese who had made a bold speech before the game, Li Yu had to admit that he had crazy capital. He could feel that he had really found his football. Compared with last season, Manchester United fans could also see that Cristiano Ronaldo was Cristiano Ronaldo instead of the one who was also named Ronaldo. He is called Xiao Luo's guy.
Transfer your thoughts to Birmingham in this game. For this team, Li Yu is still the same as before. I don't know. Arteta did not read for Li Yu in advance. Li Yu can only learn about the next opponent by herself on the field.
Through a simple understanding, Li Yu knew that Birmingham had been bought by Boss Yang from Hong Kong. It was also a team with a blue coat and was also acquired by foreign investors, but Birmingham did not make a big gold dollar offensive like the Blues Chelsea, which at most accelerated the pace of its head coach Bruce's signing. This game Nearly ten players have joined the team this season.
They worked hard on the goalkeeper. They transferred the 29-year-old Ghanaian goalkeeper Jin Song from the Swiss Super Hammarby for a period of two years.
The biggest move in the defender was to buy Fulham's French defender Quidru with 2.5 million. Like central defender Legwell who transferred from Villa, he is a cruelly abandoned veteran, but Bruce appreciates it very much. In terms of left-back, he found Lille's Schmitz, the Brazilian, who acquired French nationality in May. Due to his experience in playing against Manchester United in the Champions League, Bruce has high expectations for him.
In the midfield, Bruce used his brain. He first transferred the loaned to the team's central defender Mamba to a regular purchase. The 19-year-old player ended his hard days at Arsenal. Then Parnaby, a multi-faceted player on the right side of Miburg, was freely transferred in, and the contract was signed for three years.
In terms of foreign players, Dutch midfielder Dred from Seltavigo chose to move freely to Birmingham. At the age of 27, he was considered by Bruce to be a person who could play left and right. The 27-year-old French midfielder Capo also transferred from Juventus, costing the club £3 million and a three-year contract. In terms of striker, the Blues have a unique vision. They found Gary O'Connor, a Scottish striker, from the Lokomotiv Moscow. The 24-year-old striker was highly valued by the club, so it cost 2.7 million pounds and a three-year contract.
The transfer is relatively moderate. The forward line has transferred DJ-Kamara, and his new owner is Leicester City. Clemons, who has won the best player in Birmingham, was also sold to Leicester City for 1 million.
The 27-year-old winger Gray gave Coventry, and the once-famous French central defender Ngotti was no longer renewed. Because of his outstanding performance in the Football League Championship, he is the backbone of the team like Clemons. Such behavior is undoubtedly "unloading and killing the donkey". But looking at Birmingham's bloated team, it's really impossible not to eliminate a few big names.
Look at the record since the start of the league, with 3 wins, 2 draws, 6 losses and 11 points, ranking 15th, in the middle and lower reaches of the league.
The information is a summary of the media before the start of the online league. It is not difficult to see that Birmingham and other Premier League balls are almost the same mode in signing. There are no big-name players, but some relatively low-cost powerful players.
"LEE, I didn't expect you to know your opponent before the game!" Arteta, who was responsible for literacy for Li Yu, didn't know what appeared, and suddenly said.
"After preparing for the meeting, I'll see what kind of team the opponent is in the next game. I can't bother you every time!" Li Yu knows that Spanish literacy is not for nothing, but Literacy is owed to a dinner at a time. Li Yu is not afraid of treat. The main reason is that she doesn't want to make trouble for Arteta anymore. Now she has to be responsible for literacy before every game. Li Yu herself really feels a little embarrassed.
"Ha ha, isn't it a waste of trouble!" Arteta sat beside Li Yu happily and knew at a glance that there was something else.
"Say, it's not like you!"
"Then I can say that it's not a big deal. Will you meet someone with me after the game is over?" Arteta was a little embarrassed to say it.
"The first time I saw my girlfriend, did you pull me to be brave?" As soon as Li Yugang opened her mouth, she found that Spain opened her mouth wide and was surprised. She knew that she had said something casually, "Haha, you know you're dating a girl!"
"Actually, she is not a girl. She should not be as old as me. I really don't know her specific age...!" In fact, it doesn't have anything to do with Arteta's relationship. During the vacation, the two met unexpectedly and left contact information with each other. It was not until the girl came to work in Liverpool that they had such a formal date.
"Why don't you go to the bald man? He has time!" Li Yu also wants to tease the Spaniards.
"Andy, damn it! I won't let anyone go!"
"Ha ha, I'm kidding! That's it. Let's go together after the game!" Li Yu looked at her anxious teammates and did not embarrass him any more.
