Chapter 110 Alkmaar
Alkmaar Zaanstreek is a football club based in Alkmaar, the Netherlands, founded on May 10, 1967.
In the Eerste Divisie, Alkmaar is called AZ. Only internationally will they be called AZ Alkmaar. Its home stadium Alkmaar de Huth can only accommodate 17,000 fans.
It doesn't have a long history, but the club was reborn when another businessman, Dirk Skhringa, joined the club in the late 1990s.
Alkmaar returned to Group A in 1998 and re-entered the UEFA Cup in the 2004-05 season, entering the top four. In this season, they ranked first two in most of the season, and finally ranked third in the Dutch League, and finally qualified for the UEFA Cup again.
This achievement is not easy, because Alkmaar is not a big club, and there is no huge number of fans even in the mainland. The average number of entrants at the Alkmal de Huth Stadium, our home stadium in the 2005-06 season, was only 8,390.
At the beginning of the 2005/06 season, he gradually came to the top and finished in the third place with great progress. It is regarded as the original three giants of the Dutch League PSV Eindhoven, Ajax and the new four giants of the Dutch League.
In the 2006/07 season, he fought with Ajax and Yan Hoven until the last round, and finally finished in third place.
The results of the 2007/08 season have regressed. After selling the Georgian striker Aviras, the team's offensive power has been greatly weakened, and the record in the league has also plummeted, sliding from the original upstream team to the current 11th place.
Moyes played against this Dutch team for the first time. Judging from the data, their opponent has now encountered the phenomenon of weak attack, which is the opposite of Everton. At present, there should not be no big problem with winning the opponent. The key is how to defeat the opponent when saving more the team's consumption. He is thinking Test for such a question.
He believes that Everton's young men will not let him down, especially Li Yu on the front line. He is in a surprisingly good state. According to the original idea, after the end of the league, he wants Li Yu to take a break and play as a substitute in the League Cup first. Depending on the situation of the live game, he will specifically arrange whether to play as a substitute or not, but now It seems that Li Yu will not have physical fitness and state problems at all. Maybe the British media is really right. This boy has a master's advice.
Li Yu was arranged to start again. Since he returned to the team, as long as it is not banned, it is the starting game without exception.
There won't be much problem with Li Yu's appearance on the offensive end. In the midfield, Everton's personnel are the most sufficient. It is not a problem to arrange the rotation of 1 to 2 people. As for the guard line, Baines can't play due to injury, and other players are also in good health. Everton has been playing so far in the same period in history. At least once, December is the frequent period of player injuries, but this year Everton seems to have said goodbye to the injury, and the team has been relatively complete.
Moyes is still very gratified about this. At least in one part of the Christmas Devil's schedule, there will be no embarrassing situation that no one has available in previous years.
......
In this game, Huaxia Local TV Station tried every possible to get the signal of the game, and Huaxia fans can finally see Li Yu's game again.
Although the game is held late at night, many Chinese fans will definitely stay up late to watch the ball. Recently, there has been too much news about Li Yu, except that there is no real game to watch. Now that the game is coming, the fans will certainly not let go of this rare opportunity, plus a few later. In Everton's away game against Manchester United, Chinese fans can see two games of Li Yu in a row, and no one wants to miss it.
At 2:30 Chinese time, the game begins!
Alkmaar plays against Everton at home!
"This is a game that has attracted the attention of Chinese fans. Everton successfully advanced to the League Cup. Now we have to witness Everton qualify from the group stage of the League Cup with a complete victory. I am Tang Meng from Shanghai Sports Channel. I am very happy to watch the League Cup match of Chinese player Li Yu with you again! "
"In this game, Li Yu did not let us stay up late to disappoint. He still started on the front line of Everton. Of course, we have to wait a little longer for the goal we expect to see. The game has just begun!
"So let's focus on this game. Everton made a certain fine-tuning in the starting lineup today. Spanish midfielder Arteta did not start, replacing his recent eye-catching Cahill. Recently, Arteta has also started the game. Now it seems that Moyes wants the Spaniard to rest and adjust. Next, the second change is Everton's captain Neville, who also did not play today. He was replaced by the golden player Yagilka, and Yabo on the guard line also had to rotate. It was Stabbs who replaced him!"
"In other positions, Everton is still an old face, and Chinese fans who are familiar with the previous games must be familiar with it! The next home team Alkmaar may not be well known. It is estimated that everyone only knows that his head coach is the famous Dutch coach Luis Van Gaal, the former head coach of the Netherlands and Barcelona. In 2005, Van Gaal returned to his hometown in the Netherlands and began to coach the small club AZ Alkmaar. Here, he regained Successfully, he led the team to successfully qualify for the UEFA Cup and led the team to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup twice. How can a famous coach have anything to do with this Dutch team? Let me tell you the answer. Van Gaal, who was a player, finally announced his retirement in Alkmaar in 1987!"
Alkmaar also sent the main force to play. At the beginning of the game, the bayonet was red. The Alkmaar team took advantage of the advantage of the home court to grab the attack. Their tactic is to fully transplant the Dutch national team's full attack and full defense tactics.
In the second minute, the home team striker Jebley received a cross from the side and headed the goal at close range in the penalty area. Unfortunately, the ball was higher than the goal frame, and the Dutch team showed a strong fighting spirit as soon as it came up.
In the face of the Dutchman's full attack and defense, Everton was not in a hurry to attack at the beginning, but made progress by controlling the rhythm. Li Yu was well integrated into the rhythm of the team, but his style began to diversify quickly and slowly.
Everton's effort-saving play is not without danger. In the next time, Li Yu and Johnson played a subtle wall-to-wall cooperation. Johnson picked Li Yu, who knocked down the opponent's defender Dong Ke with his body protection in the penalty area, and the referee immediately blew a foul on the attacker.
Li Yu, with a blank face, was still communicating with the referee, saying that he was just protecting the ball and had no other action at all.
Alkmaar fans at home gave him crazy boos.
Hush, Li Yu now hears this voice most in the away game. He is also used to it, just like Everton fans shouting his name. He is used to it!
In fact, on the contrary, the away booing can arouse his fighting spirit. Sometimes he himself doubts whether there is any tendency to be abused. At that time, the light brain was like this. The more strict the special training, the better he completed it. If he were a fan's attitude, it would be the same. If you booed me, I would have to fight back with a goal. It's more or less stupid and bold. .
Li Yu was aroused by the fans' desire to score, but the first goal was the home team.
In the 10th minute, Alkmar's attack was effective. Mattense cleverly passed the ball to the left after getting the ball in the middle of the front of the penalty area. Everton's defense was busy and Stubbs missed. Ali easily got rid of Stabbs' defense at the back point and shot vigorously. Howard saved the ball, but Skioma quickly followed up in the middle. With a make-up shot, Alkmaar temporarily led Everton 1-0 at home!
"Oh, my God, Everton's defense was broken through, and the goal was scored! Where is Li Yu? It's time to equalize the score with offense. Everton urgently needs offensive scoring. Of course, Chinese fans have been waiting impatiently for a long time!" Tang Meng's commentary has a certain degree of favoritism. He is not active or Everton. He is completely partial to Li Yu.
Moyes finally knew that his idea was a little too simple before the game, and completely underestimated Alkmaar led by Van Gaal.
After conceded the ball, Everton began to counterattack, but Alkmaar made a big move in the midfield and frequently fell to the ground. For ten consecutive minutes, Li Yu, Pinal and Johnson were continuously put to the ground. In front of the opponent's fierce defensive strength, the Everton players did not flinch and also strengthened. After the interception of the midfield, Everton gradually gained the advantage of the two teams in the midfield competition.
Stabilizing the situation in the midfield, Everton began a real attack, and Li Yu used her breakthrough to create a corner kick on the sideline.
Unexpectedly, Li Yu took a penalty and made a simple round-trip with Cahill in front of him. He scored a small goal. He was not greedy for credit, but chose to pass the ball.
The ball was immediately handed over to the foot of Pinar, who was waiting at the front of the goal, and passed the ball unexpectedly. Alkmaar was in a panic in the penalty area. The defenders were paying attention to the movements of the South Africans, but the ball passed back.
"Li Yu, shoot! Haha, the goal is scored! Everton's attack was really perfect. With a continuous scalpel-like pass, Alkmaar's defense was like a virtual setting. One pass and one pass were completely torn apart. It was still Li Yu. Starting from him, he finally scored the goal. It was so beautiful! Please forgive me for my incoherence. There is really no way to suppress my emotions! 1:1, Everton equalized the score, and the goal scorer was Li Yu!" Tang Meng did not restrain his commentary volume at all in this game, but completely roared to explain the game.
Moyes can finally rest assured that his team has not been fooled by his opponent at all, especially Li Yu. I really don't know what is in this boy's mind. How did he think of this series of cooperation at that moment? How did he believe that Pinal will pass the ball back again? The two of them When did you have such a tacit understanding?
