Chapter 53 The European War
The sixth round of the Premier League ended, and Manchester United has lost again away from home since the beginning of the league!
After the game, Everton Club also sent a £1,000 bill to Manchester United.
It is said that Sir Alex Ferguson staged his famous stunt, the hair dryer, in the locker room after the game.
Not only Manchester United's players' hearts were injured, but even the visiting team's locker room at Goodson Park was swept away. There was basically nothing left to smash, and it was natural to receive the bill.
At the post-match press conference, the Lord did not participate in the press conference, leaving only Moyes alone.
......
After the end of the league, Everton will usher in the third knockout round of the UEFA Cup. They will play against Ukraine's Kharkiv Goldman team at home on the 20th.
The opponent Kharkiv Goldman was the third in the Ukrainian First Division last season, but Everton really doesn't know anything about this team. Ukraine is well known in the European game, or the Kiev Dinamo who played the Ukrainian 'nuclear warhead' Shevchenko, and the traditional Hautton Nezk. The team represents the highest level of the Ukrainian club and is also a regular player in Europe.
Then the Kharkiv Jingong that Everton will face is definitely a mysterious master. At least Moyes can't find too good information to understand the opponents of the game. At this point, there is definitely a big gap between Everton Club and the top clubs.
There is not much information about opponents, so we have to focus on self-adjustment and adapt to changes. However, the seventh round of the Premier League will start on September 23rd, challenging Aston Villa away.
Taking into account the time of the away game, there are only less than two days of rest in the two games. How to allocate the players' physical strength has become Moyes's top task. Everton doesn't want to give up on both lines, so it is necessary to take appropriate rotation, but Li Yu is not in the list of players considering rotation, as Moyes promised before. Similarly, Li Yu will continue to start.
In these days of training, Moyes rarely started closed training and declined all media interviews. He didn't want the state of his team. He let his opponents know something through the reports of various media. The pervasive British media always like to help, and Moyes had to guard against it.
The training is mainly based on tactical drills. Li Yu has shown a good competitive state in the training. He is now more sharp when he breaks through. The combination of the body and feet of the ball is now gradually integrated. The results of the double star training are slowly changing in combination with Li Yu's own conditions. After all, in the special training, Messi is based on his special The point is to teach skills, and he is also a breakthrough and protection method formed in competition and training based on his own characteristics!
It is completely applied to Li Yu, and there will be more or less inappropriate things. Li Yu finally realized this in the game with Manchester United. At the beginning of the game, she was playing football completely according to Professor Messi's method, which was very hard!
But after using his own strength, he was much more relaxed on the court. Li Yu was trying to find her own breakthrough with the practice in training, combining her own characteristics and integrating Professor Messi's things.
In the recent Everton training, Li Yu's changeable playing style makes it difficult for the players who defend him. I don't know which way Li Yu will choose to break through. Sometimes fouls are necessary, so the record of falling to the ground in training is always accompanied by him. Since Li Yu's transfer to Everton, the record of falling to the ground in the team's training. It has always been occupied by Li Yu. Although the value has decreased recently, it is still the first. No one competes with him for this record.
There is also a running distance that is unmatched by the Everton team. After each training class, Li Yu's whole field running range is always around 20,000, and most Everton players have a running distance of about 10,000. Moyes has a new set of training. The equipment is so love. In the past, Li Yu would run so much more distance. Although some of them are useless, don't forget that many opportunities run out in this way!
So in the training, Moyes boldly added special training for Li Yu to get rid of man-watching defense. In fact, the method is very simple, that is, the method used by Li Yu in Manchester United. It is the most effective and physically consuming method. It increases the range of running, so that the opponent can't keep an eye on the defense. Li Yu has good physical fitness. It can be guaranteed that he will use it well in the game. Moyes is actually looking forward to it, and the opponent will know, "You can't run away!"
The most common word used by the British media to report on this League Cup knockout is 'massacre'!
Obviously, they are still optimistic about the Ukrainian team that Everton won the expedition at home.
Without knowing the strength of the opponent, it is easy to consistently pursue the team of their own country, which is the style of the British media.
Everton can't say anything yet, saying that he agrees. If you don't play the big score said by the media, you will die miserably at that time.
What if you don't agree? He still died miserably. The collective bombardment of the media and the accusations made by experts. In fact, the real difference is the problem of dying sooner or later.
The media has decided on the game before the game. If there is a slight deviation, Everton will definitely be affected, so the game must be played well and a big score.
The excessive optimism of the media is sometimes an invisible pressure. Everton's previous good state in the league made them have to take this pressure and move forward resolutely.
The team is under pressure, so what about Li Yu, who has performed very well before?
Of course, the media will not forget Li Yu. He scored two goals in the Manchester United game. Constantly reported that the media supporting Manchester United satirized Li Yu's shit. The two goals were all lucky to be unlucky. Manchester United lost a little injustice, so Ferguson's fury after the game also found a better excuse, using these media In terms of body, if you are a fan who supports Manchester United, when you see Li Yu's two goals, you will definitely shout, "This boy is the illegitimate son of the goddess of luck. The Lord has been strong after witnessing the whole process!"
The domestic media in China put all the aura on Li Yu's head. The praises of Manchester United's nemesis, the future of China, the strongest striker players and so on all appear behind the name of Li Yu for a while. What is a goal in the buttocks? If you have the ability, you can enter one!
Anyway, it's an almost out-of-print goal. If you want to get into Manchester United with your butt, can you get one?
Li Yu, our Chinese player has entered!
This point alone can be infinitely amplified, not to mention anything else. The domestic god-making movement has begun to send Li Yu's image to the foot of the divine mountain, just waiting for the Premier League's debut season to end and officially become a god!
The praise of the domestic media is a little too fierce and too extreme, which makes Li Yu feel great pressure. It seems that there was a game where he did not perform well, so he felt sorry for hundreds of millions of Chinese fans. This understanding may be a little alarmist, but the fact is actually It's not much worse.
Li Yu also has a lot of emotion about this. In some aspects, Chinese media may be more eager than the most utilitarian British media. From one extreme to the other, Li Yu only took less than a month, and the world is so wonderful.
We can't question any more. There is no way out, and there is no excuse to find a way out for herself. Li Yu can only strive to move forward on the road of playing football, accumulate for herself one by one, and win some breathing space for herself. Li Yu thinks so!
......
Everton's first European game of the season. On the day of the game, nearly 60,000 Toffee fans came to Gooderson Park Stadium. Most of them are fans with tickets, and fans without tickets can only stay outside the stadium and gather together to cheer for their favorite teams outside the stadium with their own songs.
The fans of the visiting team come very little. In the whole stadium, only in the stands where the visiting team fans are located, empty seats can be found. For safety reasons, although the 3,000-person stands are only half seated, other seats are still not open to home team fans.
Kharkov Jingong is a defensive counterattack strategy in the away game. The draw is very good. It would be better if he could bring back another away goal.
In the game, Li Yu was not assigned by the opponent to be targeted. Kharkiv Metalworkers paid a painful price for this. In the 15th minute of the first half, Li Yu received a cross from Arteta's left side and scored a goal with a header, opening the first record for Everton.
The tall Ukrainian defender did not stop Li Yu and was snatched in front of him, and there was no suspense about the goal!
The goal was conceded quickly, and Kharkiv's calculation failed. They could only disperse the formation and try to attack!
In the cheering of tens of thousands of Everton fans, Everton became more and more brave. The attack was definitely the game that Everton was willing to see. After several more attempts to attack, Li Yu grabbed the space behind the opponent's defender again. In the case of forming a single knife in front of the goal, she assisted to catch up with Pinar, and then the next City.
Two goals ahead, Kharkiv Jingong was a little confused by two punches in a row. Everton was even more crazy in the attack, but the visiting team's goalkeeper began to show his strength, with high and low gears, hands and feet and tenaciously blocked Everton's several threatening shots.
Until the end of the first half, the score was still 2-0. Being able to keep such a score is entirely due to the goalkeeper's extraordinary performance.
Moyes was very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half. In the second half, he still took the tactical arrangement in the first half, but in the second half, Everton's players began to be a little lax, so that the visiting team caught Yabo's clearance error in 60 minutes and scored a valuable away goal.
Relaxed, and if you want to play the previous state, you will be a little unable to do it. Everton did not play its due level in the next game, and was successfully dragged down by the visiting team's bucket defense, 2-1!
The end of Everton's first European war!
