Chapter 36 Championship match?
The 16 Everton players who went on the road that day were all on the team's bus. Of course, Li Yu was also among them. Most of the players are in the heart. From the people on board, we can know whether tomorrow's game will start tomorrow's game. Li Yu starts to sleep when she got on the bus and seizes her strength.
Johnson pointed to Li Yu with a bad smile, "Do you see it? My beautiful girlfriend emptied my front-line partner!"
"Haha... Haha!"
Although everyone knows that this is a joke, many people still agree more or less when they see Li Yu like this.
Moyes sat in the front row, heard the laughter of the players behind him, frowned and exchanged a look with the assistant coach.
Li Yu is no longer in a state and has become everything that can be seen. Moyes is seriously thinking about his first-major problem, but Moyes still believes the words of assistant teacher Alan Avini and is ready to put Li Yu in the substitute lineup.
......
All the way, Everton's team bus finally arrived at the location of Reading Club and checked in at the hotel. The players returned to their rooms early to rest. Li Yu and Johnson were still in the same room. The bald brother didn't even pack his luggage, so he took out the PS3 and was ready to start immediately. After kicking two sets, Li Yu slept in a daze in the car. Now she doesn't have the energy to play.
But in the end, he still didn't resist. Johnson's offensive was forced to do nothing. Li Yu also promised to play a few games before the meal. Of course, this time it was a live game without monetary rewards.
There was no suspense about the result. Li Yu lost all the games, but Johnson felt Li Yu's progress, and the score of each game was reduced to varying degrees, which showed that Li Yu was still seriously fighting against him.
At the end of the game and the beginning of dinner, the team arranged nutritious meals for the players specially prepared by the hotel, and there was no greasy food.
Everton players, who were tired from driving for a day, returned to their room after dinner listlessly, prepared to rest early, and tried to stay in good shape for tomorrow's third round of the game.
The ideas of most players obviously cannot be applied to the head of Li Yu's roommate Johnson. Some too energetic bald men also have to hold a live football match before going to bed. Even the players are gathered at dinner. How can Li Yu, a roommate, be let go?
Fortunately, Johnson was relatively measured and did not go too late. At 11 o'clock, the second competition ended smoothly. The biggest winner was still Johnson. Three people, including Li Yu, paid 200 euros in tuition again.
There was nothing to say overnight. Everton was the tactical preparation meeting the other morning. Before the meeting, Moyes announced the starting list of this game. Li Yu's name did not appear in the starting list of 11 people. The first two rounds of the league were the starting line combination. In this game, Li Yu could only be on the bench.
Li Yu knows that this is the state in which the head coach found out about himself. She hopes that she won't think that this is a sequela after my crazy break with Jenny, but the other Li Yu has no idea.
......
On Saturday, August 18, 2007, Reading Madjeski Stadium was packed. Although the game is scheduled to be held in the afternoon, Reading fans are still very excited. This is Reading's second home game of the season. In the last round, their team defeated Chelsea by one goal here. Reading fans hope that this round, Madges The stadium can usher in the first home victory of the season.
"Hear fans, I'm Huang Jianxiang, and I'm happy to be able to explain to the fans again in the live broadcast of the Premier League program! However, it is a little surprising that the player that the majority of fans are most concerned about, Li Yu, did not appear in Everton's starting lineup today. He was put on the bench today. Is this Moyes's need for tactical arrangements? Maybe he was afraid that Reading's fierce interception would hurt Li Yu. In order to protect him, Moyest intended to let him play as a substitute? This really deserves the attention of our fans. Let's wait for the start of the game and welcome the substitute of our Chinese player Li Yu. I believe we will see this picture in the second half. Huang Jianxiang's voice appeared on TV.
"Jianxiang, you're right! Li Yu, who has scored 4 goals in the first two rounds, will definitely appear, but before that, we need a little patience! Let me first introduce the recent situation of the home team. Previously, Reading, who had scored 1 point, caused trouble for Manchester United and Chelsea in the first two rounds. Giessen was suspended for three red cards in the first game of Manchester United, and Cecil was also suspended after being expelled from the game against Chelsea. Su Dong took the words and added a little more.
Reading wears an all-red shirt in this game, while the visiting team Everton is still their blue and white jersey. The referee of this game is Rennie, who is the only black referee in the current law enforcement Premier League referee.
The referee Rennie whistled and the game officially began.
At the beginning of the game, Reading played the momentum of the home court and launched an attack as soon as it came up.
Their style of play is very concise. The Redding team, which has always used fast attack as its main offensive means. Midfielder Stephen Hunt took the ball and launched an attack with a long pass directly. It is simple and direct, but it also seems a little too rough. A season of Premier League has not let Reading get rid of the tactics of the Championship period. Law.
The ball was successfully resolved by Lescott's header back goalkeeper Howard.
Subsequently, the game was dragged into the midfield melee by Reading players. The second round of Reading was at home. They didn't want Everton. They were forced to return to Liverpool after the end of the last round. Yesterday, they drove to Reading. Reading at home was waiting for work, while the visiting team Everton was a moving expedition.
At the beginning of the game, he fell into Reading's established style of play, which gave Everton no good chance at all, but the Redding people were as fierce as ever.
Each Reading player is full of physical strength, just like the mountain tiger, the player who pounces on Everton. This is the Reading team. Just looking at the momentum can make the opponent afraid of Reading.
And Everton just has no confidence. In the midfield competition, Reading gradually controlled the dominance, so Everton is in trouble.
Long passes over and over again, Reading is not afraid of passing mistakes and losing the ball. If they lose the ball, they will grab it back, but the pressure of Everton's defense is increasing little by little.
In the 20th minute of the game, Lescott stopped the ball in the chest in the penalty area, but the offloaded ball strangely touched his arm. All the players in the front court of Reading raised their arms high, indicating that it was a handball foul, but the referee Rennie was indifferent and signaled that the game to continue.
In the 29th minute, Stephen Hunter had a chance to help Reading score a goal. Forward Kevin Doyle suddenly pulled to the cross from the side. Hunter, who was ambushed at the back, got an excellent chance to score. He actually topped the ball without defense.
Reading's head coach Steve Kopert is more annoyed than the players on the field. He sat in the coach's seat with his head in his arms and hasn't watched the game on the field for a long time.
Everton has not had a threatening attack at this time. Is this the best portrayal of the real strength of the two teams? Obviously not.
In the next time, Everton players are also looking for opportunities to attack, but under the pressure of the opponent Redding players, the ball is often successfully intercepted by the opponent before passing it several times. The ball-out tactic formulated by Moyes before the game has increased the error rate of Everton players, which is the same as that of his own players. The state has a great relationship. Everton players left the state and feeling of the game on the bus in the tossing and out of the car.
Moyes really didn't expect that the player would have such a collective feeling of not being able to find the game, which is undoubtedly too deadly. In fact, the live game picture was aimed at Moyes. In the camera, Moyes looked at Li Yu sitting on the bench with his spare light.
"Does Everton change into Li Yu in the first half? Moyes's unlocked eyebrows will be re-expanded because of such a substitution. Please be sure to listen to the voice far away in the East!" Huang Jianxiang's unique joke commentary appeared in the TV commentary again after the 2006 World Cup.
"Hehe, Jianxiang! Your words may be in the air. Moyes withdrew his eyes and didn't let Li Yu warm up. Reading's style of play is too targeted. Everton should have adjusted earlier. Today, they have made too many mistakes in their fierce defense!" When Su Dong was explaining, he rarely laughed. This kind of relaxed explanation like chatting with friends made him very relaxed.
"I feel that this is the way of play arranged by Moyes, but it's a pity that the state of the players on the field now has not played its due effect, but has increased the error rate! Is it that the Premier League's advance of the game to the afternoon in order to cater to more Asian audiences has also affected the performance of Everton players on the court!" Huang Jianxiang further analyzed the situation on the field.
The scene of the game is a little dull. Reading's style of playing has transferred the game into a Championship duel. The two sides are fighting for the body and header.
Domestic fans did not see Li Yu what they most wanted to see, but the commentary of Huang Jianxiang and Su Dong did not disappoint the fans. This excellent commentary combination is bound to set off a frenzy of watching the ball again.
The rise of the Premier League will gradually attract the attention of domestic fans. More and more domestic fans no longer prefer Serie A and Bundesliga when watching football on weekends. These leagues that CCTV has the right to broadcast, and looking for the Internet to watch the Premier League and La Liga, especially the new generation of young fans, is even more and more recognized by the Chinese people. It is known that at this time, there is a tendency for domestic blocking to break by itself. The days of ice breaking are not far away, and of course, there are also some merchants who smell excellent business opportunities.
The two commentators have been talking about some off-court topics around the game. The first half of the game has unconsciously entered 40 minutes, and the score on the field is still 0-0.
