Chapter 125 Huaxia Derby is ready to go to war

At the end of the short holiday, Everton reassembled to prepare for the second round of the league cup knockout home game. There were four away goals. When preparing for the game, Moyes wanted to instill some ideas that could not be taken lightly, but looking at the players relaxed, he gave up his original plan after thinking about it. In fact, Everton has entered the second round of the knockout stage in just one round.

It's rare to have a stress-free game. Moyes intends to let the players completely arrange the tactics of the day's game by themselves. How to play the main players can discuss by themselves. Everton is this good. It's only those people, and it's impossible for them to play anything.

The home game was held at 10 o'clock on February 21. Li Yu now finally knows why the European game is scheduled to be held so late, especially in February, which is cold in the UK. In fact, this is done out of consideration of the number of seats at home and the habits of European fans watching football, especially on weekdays. All are arranged in the local evening. There is nothing we can do about it. The game is arranged at 4 a.m. Chinese time. If you want to watch Li Yu's game, they can only stay up late or get up in the middle of the night to watch the game.

Fortunately, the game did not live up to the Chinese fans in the East. Under the leadership of Li Yu, Everton was full of firepower. He washed the Super League team Bran with a score of 6 to 1 at his home stadium, Goodison Park Stadium. Who said that easy preparation will not produce good results? Moyes looked at the score on the big screen. Satisfied with the progress of this game, in the whole game, in addition to letting the opponent score a goal in the lead of three goals, Everton has been giving Bran a lot of pressure in the rest of the game. From the two big gifts given by the active defender in Bran's panic, it can be seen that Everton finished today's game. Excellent.

The Everton front line led by Li Yu and Albert scored a total of 4 goals for the team, among which Li Yu played a hat-trick in the game. Albert's goal was also the result of Li Yu's assist. The remaining goals appeared on midfielders Cahill and Osman, the offensive tables of the two midfielders. It is also unforgettable that the two have become an important second point in Everton's attack, and many games are also opened by their scoring goals.

Everton did not disappoint the fans who followed the game, and the media also praised it after the game.

"Everton, who only has two fronts left, got rid of the unnecessary FA Cup burden and played lightly. The result of the game is gratifying!"

In the evaluation of the Mirror, it also introduced the situation of Everton's personnel, which is very pertinently pointing out Everton's biggest problem at present. It is also the crux of limiting its development for a long time. The team only has one lineup. In the final analysis, Everton Club does not have the strength to support so many powerful players.

This is actually an indisputable fact. Everton's record has always been quite good, and it basically appears on the list of European games every year. But the results are still like that. The league performance is not bad. Even Everton's fans know it in Europe. The League Cup can only fantasize about the two cups in China. Everton, especially in the FA Cup, has voluntarily given up twice.

In the final analysis, the club's investment is not enough. A set of lineup can only have a choice in the face of so many games at the same time. Everton pays more attention to the results in the league, so the results in recent years are well explained. Keeping the league, fighting for Europe, watching the League Cup, and giving up the FA Cup. It has become the best choice for Everton.

Everton's fundamental change can only rely on huge overseas funds, which is exactly the last thing Liverpool fans want to see. If they want to ensure their localization, they also need to have a huge investment, which is obviously unrealistic here in Everton.

There are two major cities in the United Kingdom, the Manchester derby and the Liverpool derby. In the same red and blue battle, the Red Army is more attractive to the giants and international clubs, while the Blues are mainly local fans and have a better fan base than the former in Derby.

Of these four clubs, only Everton has not been acquired by foreign capital, which is the pride of all Everton fans. The top five teams in the table, except for Arsenal and Everton, are no longer of pure British blood.

There is no doubt that they have fallen into the hands of "foreign devils" one after another, and the shouts of English fans can't resist the impact of the green dollar.

Among the G-14 giant teams in European football, England occupies three, namely Arsenal in London, Manchester United in Manchester and Liverpool. Although London's Chelsea is not officially listed in the G-14 giants, the team has so much assets that it is by no means inferior to other teams. However, what is intolerable to English fans is that among these four teams, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool have fallen into the hands of foreign tycoons one after another.

Manchester City has also joined the ranks this year. With the injection of foreign capital, Everton and Arsenal are undoubtedly far behind their opponents in terms of transfer funds. Even the head coaches of these two clubs have become the spokesperson of the Iron Rooster in the Premier League.

The Guardian regards Arsenal and Everton as the last position of British localization. In their words, if the last position is lost, the Premier League will become an amusement park for foreign capital.

For Everton's next round of the Premier League, the media also believes that Everton vs Manchester City, the two teams have many of the same elements, even the same Chinese elements. Everton has Li Yu, and Manchester City has Sun Jihai, who is also the Blues, but one is a local team, and the other is a new acquired club. .

The British media regard this game as a dialogue between localization and new foreign capital.

Huaxia media will not pay attention to these problems. The biggest selling point of localization is undoubtedly Huaxia Derby. Last time, it was missed once because of Li Yu's injury. Now the two teams have to have a second confrontation within a month. How can it not be widely publicized? The first real Premier League Huaxia Derby, Li Yu is Everton's main front line, and Sun Jihai is a semi-main defender. If the two play at the same time, they will fight directly. This game is very attractive to Chinese fans.

Moyes finally brought Li Yu to the scene at the press conference before the game.

With doubt, Li Yu pushed open the door of the news conference living room. The scene he saw surprised him. There were more than 30 Chinese and foreign reporters waiting there for a long time. It was absolutely full. After Li Yu came to Everton, Everton no longer had to worry about not attracting the attention of the media at every pre-match press conference. This It is still the result of controlling the number of reporters, which is spectacular for Li Yu, a young man who has just made his debut for more than a year.

"Li Yu, congratulations on Everton's success!"

Li Yu, who rarely attended the press conference, heard the voice of Chinese media reporters when she came in.

Moyes coughed awkwardly and sat in his seat. The Everton staff were maintaining order at the scene at the same time, and the press conference began immediately.

"Can you say that the first time I took Li Yu to the pre-match press conference, does this mean that Li Yu has got the opportunity to start?"

Huaxia media took the lead in asking the most concerned questions in China. The list of the competition has been announced. Li Yu and Sun Jihai have appeared in the list of their respective teams. If they are all substitutes, the domestic publicity will not be matched, and they will be as humiliating as last time. They have been publicized for half a month in advance, but no one has come out. Now, such a scene can no longer be solved.

"There is nothing to guess. There are only a few strikers in the Everton team at present. I can now say for sure that Li Yu will appear in the starting lineup. In fact, you should be able to guess!"

After Moyes answered affirmatively, Li Yu was slapped by the reporter without preparation. He, who was drinking water, seemed more or less unnatural, and he almost choked himself with a mouthful of water.

After asking the first question, Huaxia Media is obviously not very interested in Moyes. The opportunity to ask questions is left to the local media. They have been waiting for the next process of the press conference, the player interview. As for the head coach, you can say hurry up!

"Li Yu, are you ready for the next 'Huaxia Derby'?"

Finally, it was the player's turn to be interviewed, and a sweet female voice sounded. It seemed that the power of beautiful women abroad was relatively large.

"What 'Huaxia Derby'?"

Li Yu knew at this moment that Moyes called him for a special meaning today. Originally, an ordinary league has been evolved into a special game by Chinese media. Li Yu is still very respectful of Sun Jihai, who has played in the Premier League for many years, but he really doesn't think how important this game will be. The first time she heard the name of the game, Li Yu obviously didn't react.

However, Li Yu did not disappoint the reporter. "Sun Jihai is a temperamental figure of Chinese players playing football overseas. I am very happy to be able to compete with him. I hope to dedicate a wonderful game to the national fans. Let's see my performance on the field!" Li Yu said with a smile, looking very relaxed. In the face of the media, he had already been familiar with it and knew what to say and what not to say.

Domestic reporters are also very interesting. They don't ask about the problems that have been blocked in China. All the questions revolve around the competition that will start, and there are also some personal emotional problems. As Jenny becomes more and more famous, Li Yu's private issues have also been regarded as the focus of the media, but the two people get together less and leave more. Not to mention that it is quite difficult to get the headlines. The more so, the more the media will be interested.

PS: Happy New Year! All the best, a healthy family and a smooth job!
