Chapter 54 Expedition to Vera
The expected big victory did not appear, and Everton's performance in the second half can only be described as bad. It was too relaxing to play!
The away game of the second round, which should have been without any suspense, has become suspenseful. Kharkiv Jingong will definitely do his best for the last promotion opportunity at home, so Everton has to take the game on October 5th seriously.
Moyes's away game must be taken seriously.
There are league and league cup matches before the European game. It is really an unknown mystery whether Everton players can pass such a dense game.
Everton first played against Aston Villa on the road on September 23. This is definitely not an easy game to deal with. You should know that Aston Villa's 3 striker tactics this season have become more and more mature. The players are young, and most of the players are trained by their own youth training system. Cooperation is not a problem. Their home stadium, Villa Park, has become a terrible home for teams.
Absolute home dragon, Villa is waiting for work. Without the fetters of European events, they have rested for a full week and are also in the upper hand in terms of physical fitness.
Villa's head coach, Martin O'Neill, will definitely make full use of these advantages to play football at his home. Martin O'Neal's team at Villa Park is really not afraid of any team.
If Leeds United used to be the youth guard, then after the sinking of Leeds United, only Villa can replace the White Storm. It is the same young, the same full of **, and the team is also full of talents. The young storm set off by Villa may be that the Biliz United will last. The head coach in 2006 Since Din O'Neill took over the team, he has been drastically transforming the team. This season is particularly obvious, cleaning up many of the main players of the previous era.
In terms of the forward line, Angel, who has a one-year contract, was sold by the New York Red Bulls. O'Neal has nostalgic for the veteran who lost his position after Christmas. The 34-year-old Sutton chose to retire and bid farewell to his ups and downs in his career.
O'Neill's adjustment in the midfield is shocking. Even a loyal veteran like Lee Hendry is still eliminated if it does not suit his taste. Northlove avant-back Stephen Davis, who was squeezed out by Petrov, turned to Fulham. The price is said to be about 4 million pounds. The player was awarded the title of Villa's Player of the Year in the 05-06 season, but he was forced to leave due to bad feng shui in one season.
Due to the arrival of Leocock and the rise of newcomer Craig Gardner, the club cut three backs in a row and terminated the contract with Jemba Jemba. Lee Hendry, who only appeared once last season, made a free transfer to Xie Lian. McCain, who was the main force last season, went to Bolton for 1 million.
Three defenders walked on the line, all of whom are rich and powerful players, but they are not in O'Neal's sight. 23-year-old central defender Legwell, who has worked in Villa for 8 years, still went to Birmingham for 2 million yuan, while the 26-year-old Samuel, the celebrity of the Oliley era, has experienced from the absolute main force to the second The main force has been basically abandoned, and only this season he has to transfer to the "refugee detention center" Bolton. Finally, Aaron Hughes, who was also a red man under O'Alley's account, became a chicken rib when he arrived at O'Neill's side. He went to Fulham for 1 million yuan.
The departure of a large number of players did not affect the overall construction of Villa. After all, the year before O'Neal entered the game, there were far more people than others. This time, it was just a team balance. In O'Neal's own words, he used the strongest team of about 23 people to fight for the new season of the Premier League. .
On the surface, Aston Villa is using Kalu as a single striker in the game, but in the actual game, Abanglaho and Ashley Young, who ambushed behind him, are the real killers. Now no Premier League team will arrange it in a 4-5-1 way, and it is more accurate to use 4-3-3.
Although he knows this accurate information, Everton actually doesn't have much time to prepare. After completing 50 European games against Kharkiv Metalworkers at home, the team will leave for Birmingham, where Aston Villa is located, 150 kilometers away from the two places, and the team's bus is driving 2 More than an hour later, he finally arrived at Birmingham, the away game venue. As the second largest city in the United Kingdom after London, there are countless large factories around Birmingham. Its industrial output value accounts for 1/5 of the national industrial output value, but the football heritage and the number of top teams here are far behind by London.
In this city, there are only two clubs that can be named by Li Yu. One is Aston Villa, and the other is Birmingham, which is named after the city.
Both teams are also in the Premier League this year. Birmingham was the runner-up in the Football League Championship last season, that is, this year's promotion, which is somewhat inconsistent with the name of the second largest city in Britain.
Li Yu came to Birmingham for the first time, but he didn't even have a chance to watch the flowers. He stayed in the hotel and had to start the afternoon training. Needless to say, Li Yu knew that the afternoon training must be a restorative training, but this time Moyes appeared on the edge of the field, which was also different from the past. If it is an away game, if it is an afternoon game, it will arrive at the game site the night before the game. The evening game will not start until the morning of the game. This time, it came to the game early, which is very abnormal. Combined with Moyes, he appeared on the side of the restorative training field.
Then there is only one answer. The punishment goes out in advance, and then puts pressure on the sidelines. Everton's players more or less understand that they are very serious in training. In the past, there were no funny scenes in today's training class. At this time, there are mistakes, so you have to do a good job in Scottish cannon. Prepare to fire at you.
During the whole training process, Moyes didn't say a word, but quietly watched everyone's training. The more so, the more pressure the players are. There is nothing that scares the players more than silence but everything unknown. Can they not be afraid? The cannon was well mounted, but it didn't fire. Who knows if it will suddenly come like this.
At the end of the training, Li Yu has to complete her own additional training tasks. Guangnao will not prompt Li Yu's daily experience now. If there is no training on that day, Guangnao will automatically deduct the corresponding points. If it is completed, it is just to announce the total score. The usual experience is also arranged by Li Yu, and it is okay to make equipment. It's okay to shoot continuously. As long as Li Yu spends points to buy the characteristic content, the light brain will not come out with a special explanation.
On the day of the 23rd game, Li Yu arrived at Villa Park Stadium by team bus. The brick-walled gate, typical British architecture, full of aristocratic temperament. At a glance, I knew that this was a very historical stadium, which was very similar to other British stadiums and looked very good. It's ancient, but once you walk in, you will find that there is a lot of modern equipment in it. Expansion and renovation have been experienced in almost every British stadium, because they often have a history of more than a hundred years.
The game is scheduled to be held in the afternoon. In order to cater more to the attention of Asian fans, the Premier League now schedules many games in the afternoon, which is one of the reasons why the Premier League has gradually won the attention of Asia.
In the League Cup, because there is no live broadcast of the game, Chinese domestic fans can see a little game highlights in the sports news after the game. Fortunately, Li Yu has something to do with two goals, and they all know that Li Yu is still in good condition.
Today's game finally waited for the live broadcast, or the golden 21 o'clock. There are more Chinese fans who pay attention to this game. With Li Yu's popularity in China, the number of people watching Everton's live broadcast has been soaring!
The media is also overwhelming reports, and the most watched are the live broadcast of their golden partners Su Dong and Huang Jianxiang. Every time their live broadcast can set off a craze of watching football.
"Fans, today's live broadcast is about to start! Today, Su Dong and I will still explain this game for everyone. Although I used to have a lot of commentary in Serie A, now through these rounds, I am confident that I have fully adapted to the Premier League, especially the game with Chinese player Li Yu!" Huang Jianxiang's opening greeting is still so unique.
"It's very modest. How much preparation has Jianxiang done below in order to better explain the Premier League game? I have seen it with my own eyes, fans! It's no exaggeration to say that it's definitely more professional! As a commentator who has broadcasted the Premier League for so many years, I feel ashamed even when I watch it!" Su Dong's words seem to be much more funny than before, and the chemical changes explained by the two are working little by little.
"We won't compliment each other here! Hurry up and introduce it to everyone. What's the latest information before the game!" Huang Jianxiang turned around and began to get into the main topic of today's competition.
"Then let me talk about something first. The majority of fans may not know much about it. This is a bet before Li Yu was reported again! It's very similar to Yao Ming's bet with Barkley. Yao Ming asked Barkley to kiss the donkey's ass! Li Yu, who we are concerned about, will soon let the reporter of the British Liverpool Echo lick the chicken paws, or the claws of a big turkey! They bet on the number of goals. The total number of goals in the 10 seasons originally agreed was increased to 12 by Li Yu! That is to say, when Li Yu's total goals in the season reach 12, the reporter will lick the turkey's feet!" As Su Dong spoke, he began to be a little excited, "8! And 4 goals! I didn't count the unexpected goals in the game except for the league. If Li Yu has a big four in this game, then the bet will take effect. Let's wait and see!"
