Chapter 129 The Derby Fade
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Li Yu divided the ball to Cahill. The Manchester City players were very active in grabbing it. The Australian passed the ball back to the captain Neville behind him and asked the captain to reschedule.
Li Yu has been holding a lot of energy. At the beginning of the game, he did not hesitate to spare his strength to run in the gap in the back defense line of Manchester City. If Moyes's cannon bombarded at halftime, he could be better. The head coach didn't say anything, but he felt it was necessary to make up for it.
Maybe he forgot that he scored two goals of Everton in the first half. Will Manchester City make him so comfortable in the second half?
Erickson made corresponding adjustments. The Swedes focused on a tactic to curb Li Yu. The method taken by Manchester City is fundamentally different from other teams. They are going to cut off Altta and Neville, which sent shells to Li Yu. In this way, Manchester City began to rush near the center line in the second half. In particular, Arteta, who has the most tacit understanding with Li Yu, has been forced by Manchester City players many times and has to knock the ball back to his backcourt.
The old fox is worthy of being an old fox. The Swedes used one move to suppress Everton's midfield and reduce Li Yu's threat, killing two birds with one stone.
Shortly after the start of the second half, Manchester City almost equalized the score.
Arteta dribbled the ball in the front court, and Vassell immediately went up to block him, but he kicked the football to Cahill on the right.
Pinal has been put forward and is waving to the Australian to divide the ball in time.
Cahill saw his teammate's running position and just wanted to hit the ball to the middle, but the ball under his feet had been taken away by Richards.
Manchester City immediately launched an attack. Richards controlled the football. He immediately handed the ball to Elano and let the latter launch an attack. After the Brazilian stopped the ball, he took the football forward and then accelerated. He passed by Neville's side. Yabo came up to intercept. Elano made a move to shoot, and Jabo immediately He fell to the ground and cut off, trying to block Elano's shot.
I didn't expect that Elano's action was just a fake move. He stopped the football and then hit the football behind him with his heel. At this time, Manchester City's positive Indian front line Mvaruwari rarely appeared in the right position.
Manchester City's continuous passing has completely torn through Everton's defense, and there is no one to keep an eye on Mwarwari.
Manchester City fans finally saw the hope of equalizing the score. In any case, if such a dangerous position allows the fans to shoot calmly, it is estimated that the ball is almost the same as the goal.
Mvaruwari didn't even adjust. He directly raised his right foot, which was a shot. He aimed at the upper right corner of the goal!
Lescott rushed over from the other side. He flew out and planned to block Mwarwari's shot. Obviously, he was still half a beat slower. Lescott, lying on the turf, watched the arc fly towards the goal.
Everton goalkeeper Howard was right. He rushed across the far post!
Americans feel that their fingertips have touched the football, but the power of the shot is too great. The momentum of the football continues unabated, and it still rotates towards the upper right corner of the goal.
Some Manchester City fans have jumped high to celebrate, thinking that the goal was right in front of them, but they heard a 'bang' sound, and the football hit the post!
'Wo!' The original sound of celebration suddenly turned into another sound. Manchester City fans couldn't believe that the ball did not score.
For Everton fans, this is no different from God's good news. Jajelka quickly kicked the football out of the danger zone and solved the next dangerous situation.
"Everton escaped! Manchester City's first attack in the second half almost equalized the score, especially the continuous passing in front of the shot was amazing, and the final shot was also wonderful, but Manchester City was a little unlucky! Manchester City is unlucky, so we can expect Everton to die, which is a little blessed!" Huang Jianxiang didn't expect Manchester City to play so well as soon as he came up, and almost scored a goal.
The ball did not go in. Mwaruwari looked extremely annoyed. His huge body was still squatting at the place where he shot just shot. The Zimbabweans knew that their position had long been in danger. They couldn't wait to use the goal to consolidate their position in the team. Now the goalpost is joking with him, only a little bitter. There is no law.
If something is wrong, you must score a goal. Not only is Mwaruwari himself affected, but the strong morale of Manchester City at the beginning also seems to have weakened a lot.
Next, it was the turn of the Everton team. Their attacks came one after another. Three minutes later, Arteta got rid of the opponent's entangled long pass. Dunn wanted to head the ball but rubbed the football back to Li Yu. It seemed to be a wonderful pass. Li Yu immediately picked up the football, and Pinar quickly plugged in. Seeing that the goalkeeper Hart stood relatively forward, he directly hung the door.
After two steps back in a row, Hart jumped up and barely took the football.
Manchester City fans are also applauded for their young goalkeeper's excellent performance. Young people just need the encouragement of this kind of applause. They look excited and loudly greet their teammates. Although he is very angry about the mistake of the defender just now, as a small generation in the team, he can't say anything. If you are responsible, you can only urge your teammates to attack.
After making the gesture, Hart patted the football ground twice, looked at the front, and then drove the football out with a big foot.
The ball is high and far away. One kick has reached the second half of Everton, but it is not a Manchester City player to get the control of the football. Lescott still maintains a consistent advantage in the frontal header. Mwarwari, who is not in a good mood, just works hard under Lescott and has no follow-up action. .
The ball hit Pinar's foot, and the South African gave Manchester City a big kick. He didn't walk aimlessly. Li Yu quickly plugged in and chased the football. Dunn met the ball and planned to jump up and push the football back, but he seemed to judge that there was something wrong with the landing point of the football. Dunn jumped up. But it didn't support the football! This is a terrible top mistake, two consecutive header errors!
"Damn it!" Erikson, who had always been elegant, stood on the sidelines and saw this scene. His face was green and scolded that he thought of this word for the first time. He didn't understand what was wrong with Dunn in the second half. He was in such a bad state that once was not enough. Now this time it was another bad top, which was a low-level mistake! Both times were faced with Li Yu. Did Deng En want Li Yu to enter another one and stage a hat-trick?
Of course, Li Yu will not waste the gift from her opponent. She caught up with the football, unloaded the football, and took the ball into the penalty area.
Hart's attack is very resolute, and he has no choice but to wait for death without attack!
Li Yu didn't hit the door vigorously this time. When she found that Hart attacked, he picked up his toes and chose to shoot. Hart didn't expect that he had planned to throw himself out to catch the eye, but now it was too late to retreat. The football fell and fell into the net. He jumped twice before staying quietly at the door. Medium.
The home team fans at Manchester City Stadium are really quiet this time, witnessing the other player's hat-trick at home, which is cruel to the fans of any team.
"The goal is scored!! Li Yu's goal! He scored! Hat-trick! It's not in vain for Chinese fans to wait until dawn. Everton is 3:1 ahead of the home team Manchester City in the away game. All three goals are from Chinese player Li Yu. We should thank Li Yu for being able to see the Chinese people's hat-trick in the Premier League with our own eyes!" Su Dong shouted out his commentary with a roaring voice.
"This game is getting more and more interesting. Manchester City goalkeeper Hart has a big foot, and Everton is also a big foot. Why is the gap between the front and back so big! Thanks to Manchester City's central defender Dunn's second low-level mistake in this game, Hart failed to save Manchester City this time, but we know a good young English goalkeeper!" Huang Jianxiang is still a funny explanation. He can always find something interesting to explain.
"It's all my fault! But there is still half an hour left in the game. We have plenty of opportunities!" Manchester City captain Dunn must say something to appease his teammates at this time.
Moyes looked at the clock on the big screen. At this time, in 60 minutes, Everton established a two-ball lead. The game seemed to have returned to the first half. This time, Everton can't let Everton go halfway. After two goals leading, he shrank the defense. He immediately gestured to indicate that the players on the court must With the midfield, Neville saw the head coach's gesture and understood that as captain Neville wanted to carry Moyes's intentions on the field.
In the following time, the two teams fought fiercely in the midfield. Everton no longer took a step back. It was not so easy for Manchester City to push through the midfield. The anxious Manchester City players began to use Everton's method in the first half and made a long pass, but the problem was that the high striker Mwarwari on the front line repeatedly headed the ball. After losing the battle, Manchester City's high front is not very strong, and the occasional header is not very reliable. In most cases, he gave the ball to Everton's player.
Seeing that the attack has not been able to open the situation for a long time, Eriksson replaced two attacking players in a row, Vassell under Castillo, Ireland under Caseyde, until the 69th minute, Manchester City has used up all the substitution places, and the Huaxia Derby, which Chinese fans eagerly looking forward to, failed again, and promoted for two consecutive times. One time, Li Yu was injured and it was impossible to play at all. The second time, there was hope, but it was impossible because of Manchester City's backwardness. However, the Chinese fans who watched the game were not disappointed at all. Witnessing a Chinese man's hat-trick in the Premier League, their night was not in vain!
