Chapter 117 The Christmas Schedule Ends
Everton has lost to his competitors for ten days in a row, which makes the media miss Li Yu, a magical boy. When he is in Everton, there will always be some miracles or things that the media call luck, and Everton can also achieve ideal results.
In the game against Manchester United, Everton was passive, while in Arsenal's game, Everton's appearance was no less than Wenger's team's. However, they did not seize the excellent opportunities in front of the goal. Instead, they let their opponents seize the opportunity again and again and expand the score.
Without Li Yu, Everton's offensive efficiency has dropped significantly. On this point, even Moyes admitted it himself at the post-match press conference. Thinking of Li Yu's absence, everyone was a little anxious. This boy was not important when he was here. This injury made the Everton Club finally fully realize it. Li Yu brought not only attention, but also the team's achievements.
Everton Chairman Kenwright directly asked Moyes to find a replacement for Li Yu in the winter transfer and let Everton maintain a good offensive ability on the front line at any time.
What does it cost to achieve Mr. Chairman's point? Of course, it costs money. Everton, which has been running a small business, will not spend a lot of money on those famous stars. They are willing to come. Everton may not be able to pay so much salary and transfer fees, but also has strength and low price. In today's football world, that is compared with Giant pandas also cherish the species, and it is impossible for Moyes to find such a person in a hurry. How to fully explain the task of the chairman is the first task on Moyes' desk.
In addition to this work, there is also an unexpected transfer application. One is Arsenal and the other is Marseille. They are all paying attention to one person, Li Yu.
The offer given by the two teams is not low. Arsenal Wenger is willing to give a transfer fee of £1,000. Wenger's stingy has become the spokesperson of the Iron Rooster in the Premier League. He is willing to pay a high price of 1,000W, which proves that he must be optimistic about Li Yu. Especially when Li Yu is seriously injured, he is willing to pay a high price. The acquisition is that Wenger is confused. Of course not. No matter how confused he is, he will not joke with 1000W. This transfer will arouse the great attention of Moyes.
Another Marseille offer is also the price of 1000W, but it's not the pound, but the euro. This transfer, Moyes understands very well. Now the head coach of Marseille is Deschamp, the former head coach of Juventus. He is Li Yu's mentor and the same agent. When Li Yu is in trouble, he can Giving such an offer shows the deep friendship between teachers and students.
Two clubs are willing to spend a lot of money to introduce Li Yu at this time. Moyes actually knows that the boy has recovered well recently. Wenger's Arsenal will not let him go in any case. He just took three points in Goodison, and now he still wants to take away Li Yu. There is no door. Wenger's quotation is really not sent. It was time for Moyes to reject the transfer application in his heart without any hesitation.
As for the quotation in Marseille, Moyes can be more tactful. After all, he can feel that Marseille is not just trying to pick up Everton's cheapness. The friendship between teachers and students is more important. Perhaps Deschamps is afraid that his disciples are likely to affect their performance after serious injuries, and there are also leagues like Ligue 1 It is beneficial for players to regain their status and regain their self-confidence.
No matter how Moyes understands De Shang's painstaking efforts for Li Yu, he will not agree to this offer. Li Yu is too important for Everton now, even more important than Rooney before. With Li Yu in the team, at least the huge fan team in China Don't hesitate to support Everton, and now is not the time to transfer.
Moyes thought a lot, and finally decided to find a front line in winter, and the target was basically locked on Yakub.
......
On the other hand, Li Yu, who was worried about her, could finally be discharged from the hospital. After recovering from her trauma, she rested in the hospital for half a month. The injury was almost healed. She could completely disassem the plaster and walk on the ground.
It's just that it's still a period of time to recover from playing football. The magical recovery speed makes everyone can't believe it. Some people have put forward their own point of view that Li Yu has no bone cracks at all. It was only because there was an accident during the examination that there was a mistake in the diagnosis. Maybe it was a mistake at all. The film.
This is the result of the random speculation of the British media. In fact, the Wellington Hospital will not have what they said at all, but Li Yu's recovery speed will inevitably be reminiscent.
Back to Liverpool's apartment, Li Yu's life calmed down and became a little busy. There was no need to think about training. She could only stay at home and rest, and there were about 500 points. In order to get through the boring period of half a month, Li Yu decided to use all the remaining points, especially I have trained some consciousness and practiced the consciousness of landing. This time, Li Yu decided to train the running position first. With more and more games, Li Yu feels that in this regard, she is still taking advantage of her speed advantage in this regard, which is not a conscious running position at all. This time, you must This aspect should be trained.
Of course, it cost a lot. In the original one-month training period, in order to match his recovery time, Li Yu deliberately spent more points to reduce the cycle to 2 weeks. The original 100-point training a week instantly turned into 250 o'clock a week. When he returned to the team and began real training, his There were only less than 20 points left, and an injury made him spend almost all the points on treatment.
There is treatment and conscious training. Fifteen days after being discharged from the hospital, Li Yu was completely isolated from the world and almost never went out. In addition to the necessary examinations, she stayed alone in the apartment, which was also fulfilling. People were also drowsy all day long. After these two things, it was still relatively difficult mentally.
After losing the game at home on December 29, Everton will go to Middlesbrough for the 21st round of the Premier League on January 1.
The Christmas Devil's schedule has reached the final stage. At the beginning of the new year, the whole Everton team wants to welcome the new year with a victory.
At this point in the league, no team is having a good time, and no one's physical fitness is much better. More often, it depends on the player's on-site performance and the degree of investment in the game. At this time, it is definitely a hotbed of unpopular goal. Fortunately, Everton did not let the opponent turn himself into the object of scoring points and scored two extremely wonderful goals. He easily scored 3 points at the Riverside Stadium in Middlesboro and ended the whole Christmas schedule with a victory.
In the game, Australian Karlxi once again attacked the Everton team and scored a goal. After Li Yu was injured, he became the first person in offensive efficiency and often scored in the game.
Another goal was scored in the final stoppage time. The young player Albert took advantage of his opponent's negligence to pick up the score and expand the score.
After the game, Everton was one point behind Arsenal and two points behind Manchester United in the league table, followed by the Blues Chelsea.
The top four points are relatively close, and the fifth is the sworn enemy of Liverpool. Everton's fans are still more excited to stay ahead of the sworn enemy at this time.
Next, Everton will play in the semi-finals of the league. The opponent is the Blues Chelsea. The League Cup adopts a two-game knockout system at home and away, which is the only stage in which two games need to be played in the League Cup.
After the lottery, Everton will first play away from home, play at Stamford Bridge in the Blues on January 8, and then play at home at Goodison Park on January 23.
The game is finally a little loose, not too intensive. At this time, the players can breathe a sigh of relief and spend the New Year with their families. Everton Club gives all the players a three-day holiday. Facing the semi-finals of the League Cup, they can still have a four-day holiday, which is the limit that the club can achieve.
Defending champion Chelsea played against Everton at home. Chelsea have been unbeaten with 11 wins and 6 draws in the last 17 games between the two sides, with 9 wins and 6 draws in nearly 15 home games against Everton. The last time Everton won at Stamford Bridge was in November 1994. The two sides have played five times in three seasons in the history of the League Cup, and Chelsea has been unbeaten with 3 wins and 2 draws.
In terms of record, Everton is undoubtedly at an absolute inferior level. It can get a draw at the opponent's home. It is a rare word in the prediction of all media. It is more about losing the away game. The reason is also very simple. In the absence of Li Yu, Everton will always seem to have little in the face of a strong enemy. Well, the media can see this clearly. Whether it is luck or the ability to seize opportunities on the front line, they are all collectively criticized by the media.
The Chinese media is relatively kind. After all, it is Li Yu's mother team, and it's hard to say too much. With a sentence of mourning, it sends a unique blessing to Everton.
In essence, even Moyes's own words are not optimistic about the Stanford Bridge trip. In the face of media interviews, although he did not show any stage fright in words, when he talked about the specific arrangement plan, he only used one sentence to try his best to describe his team's preparation.
Moyes deliberately put smoke to confuse his opponents. In fact, he still knows that the Everton team still has a chance, but he can't say this to the media. It is sometimes necessary to pretend.
On the Chelsea side, Drogba and Kalaw have returned to China to participate in the African Cup, and Sheva is injured. At least in the front line, the two teams are against each other, and no one can say that they are better than the other.
Chelsea only has Pizarro, the positive front line, and Everton has at least three options.
