Chapter 135 Superstar Twilight
The referee from Spain whistled and the game officially began.
Florence wears a purple home team uniform, and Everton wears a white hacker court uniform.
As soon as the game comes up, the young people of the home team show a strong fighting spirit. In this game, Moyes sets out a conservative single forward lineup, which is likely to foresee the posture of the home team Fiorentina, who wants to safely survive the passiveness of the first come-up and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.
Fiorentina's young player's fierce kicking style really made Everton players a little nervous. The movement was a little slow, and the opponent's defensive action was already in place. At the beginning, the home team was overall dominant.
Li Yu can have a good connection with the team in the attack. When it comes to defense, he hasn't made much progress so far. Moyes put him alone on the front line, so he doesn't plan to let him do anything for the team in defense. Just honestly contain the defender of the Fiorentina team. Sometimes Li Yu comes back to defend. In addition, people can only see him appear near his own penalty area in the corner defense. For the rest of the time, he usually wanders in the midfield or looks for a fighter in the opponent's frontcourt.
I also understand my weakness. There is really nothing I can do. Defense and attack are different. Li Yu has no time and points to train now. Especially his personality is not a passive person, but when the team is passive, it can't help too much. It's more or less embarrassing. In fact, he doesn't do anything. It's enough to stop at least two Fiorentina players.
The team needs his attack. There is no chance now. Li Yu has the opportunity to observe the defender of Fiorentina.
Gamberini is a Fiorentina player who focuses on taking care of Li Yu in today's game. The two are not much different from each other. Italian 185, Li Yu 183, Li Yu suffers a little in height, but he is confident that he can make up for this gap with his excellent physical fitness.
Just in a fight, Li Yu took advantage of it, blocked the opponent with her body, and steadily unloaded the ball. Unfortunately, the ball was snatched by the opponent, or it was a good opportunity to fight back.
"The physical strength is not bad, and there are a lot of small moves in defense!" Li Yu was also evaluating the opponent in the game. Gambellini, who was obviously at a loss, pushed several times behind Li Yu.
Immediately from the court, home fans sighed with regret.
Li Yu's mistake was seized by his opponent. After the opening, Fiorentina left-back Pasquale, who was very active, passed directly behind him, and the old and strong Vieri wrapped up his feet and shot hard but went out of the box.
Vieri, who is seriously fat, covered his face with his hands. He was obviously very annoyed. Maybe two years ago, this ball would have been hit.
At that time, when I saw Neville's fall to the ground and blocked, I was a little in a hurry. In the past, the Italian striker like a heavy tank would have been forced to get up in a hurry by such an action. The speed and explosive power all declined sharply. Coupled with the fatness of his body, Vieri, who did not get rid of himself, could only choose to shoot with his feet. In other positions, football can also rely on experience to make up for the erosion of time. However, on the front line, experience to make up is secondary. It is also fair. Frontline players generally have the highest salary in the team, and the transfer value is also more expensive than other positions, but when it comes to sports life, it has become the most in all positions. Short, the injured striker is the most likely to be injured, while the goalkeeper on the other end of the court is exactly the opposite. The probability of injury is small, the sports life is long, and the value and salary are low.
Looking at a superstar who once dominated the stadium and fell to where he is now, Li Yu really sighed.
"LEE, concentrate!"
Moyes found Li Yu's distraction and immediately made a sound.
Li Yu shrank his neck, and the Scot said mercy. Just now, Fiorentina's threat shot was caused by his mistake. He didn't scold. Fortunately, he didn't dare to sigh casually.
In the 13th minute, Fiorentina got a positioning ball 35 yards in the front court, but Vieri kicked the ball into the stands again. Everton's fans responded with some sarcastic laughter. Immediately, the home team fans counterattacked. Li Yu got the ball and greeted him with the huge boos of the home team.
"Who am I trying to provoke?" Li Yu felt a little puzzled, but there was nothing she could do. Who said we were the strikers of the visiting team? We were not liked, but now we have become the main target.
Li Yu's feet are not ambiguous at all. Anyway, I have been used to listening to this sound for a long time. A series of beautiful ball-dribbles were completely made in the boos all over the sky, as if using his own performance to hit back the fans. The beautiful Marseille turned around, passed the first defensive player, and rushed along the middle road.
"Block him!" Fiorentina head coach Prandelli certainly knew the power of the No. 22 player in front of him and roared to remind his players on the sidelines.
As soon as Prandelli's voice fell, Li Yu was knocked down by Kuzmanovic's tackle, and the boos of the fans at the scene were immediately replaced by applause.
"You don't seem to be very popular!" Cahill immediately ran and cast a concerned look. Seeing Li Yu shaking his head, he joked and casually pulled Li Yu up.
"Few, I don't even know what's going on. What's wrong!" Li Yu didn't dare to say it loudly for fear that his opponent would hear it and then hit his black foot.
"Then you treat it!" Pinar's sudden voice scared Li Yu.
"Withintimidating, this free kick is mine!" Li Yu turned around and found that it was the South African who stood in front of the ball and quickly asked for the penalty.
"The boss asked you to grab points in the penalty area. Don't think about this ball!"
Pinal did not look unhappy because he was called a nickname, but moved out of the head coach Moyes.
Hearing this, Li Yu had to run honestly in the restricted area and prepare to grab the point.
Pinal opened the set-piece ball and accurately found Li Yu, but the latter committed a foul before shooting. Is it a foul?
It was also Gamberini, an Italian whose body was obviously not as good as Li Yu. After contact for a while, the two found that the referee looked at him and immediately fell to the ground exaggeratedly.
"It's not good! Is this paper? Li Yu turned her head and looked at the Italian who was still performing, and understood what was going on.
"LEE, do it!" Lescott ran over to comfort him, which was called the Mandarin of Li Yu's teaching everyone.
With the boos of the home fans, Li Yu walked to Gambellini and stretched out her hand to make an unexpected move.
"Li Yu's professional ethics is very admirable. Just now, it was obviously the opponent's fake fall, and he still behaved so gentlemanly!" Tang Meng exaggerated. I guess if he heard what Li Yu said, he would not be able to say it anyway.
"Daesn, are you all right?" The first half of the sentence is Mandarin, followed by English.
The scene was noisy. Gamberini listened vaguely as if he had anything to do, and still muttered in his heart, "Is this boy really stupid or fake?" I didn't know at all. I asked someone to greet the elders, "Thank you!" Italians have to say thank you.
Li Yu, who took advantage of it, suppressed his smile and quickly walked away. On the surface, this has been exposed. In fact, both of them know that if the game does not end, the confrontation between the two will not end. This is just a superficiality. In the next confrontation, the two will still make their own moves, and no one will be polite to anyone.
On the contrary, it's the Fiorentina fans in the stands. I'm a little embarrassed to boo Li Yu again. This boy looks good. It's a replacement!
The unlucky Australian became the second target!
In the 23rd minute, Fiorentina made a comeback, Pasquale scored the ball from the left, and Jogensen shot in the penalty area but lacked strength was easily confiscated by Everton goalkeeper Howard.
The attack on the left side of the Fiorentina frequently threatens Everton, which also has something to do with Everton's defensive position. Lescott, who stands on the right-back, suffers some losses in speed. Pasquire really takes advantage of this and frequently creates threats.
Moyes also has his own idea. He will use Lescott's headers and assists in the attack to make some unexpected threats to his opponent.
In the 26th minute, Lescott made a cross from the bottom of the right side, and Li Yu, who was encircling the back point, almost made a header. Fortunately, Fiorentina player Pasquire made up for the position in front of the goal line, with a big foot to relieve the siege and did not form a goal.
After half an hour of the game, the home team obviously had an advantage, but Moyes' team defended the score with its impenetrable defense, and Li Yu could create some threats from time to time.
In the 34th minute, Vieri, a veteran who was active in this game, almost received the opportunity to form a header. Under Yabo's defense, the fat front-line killer was a little unstable in the next set and could not control the ball at the first time. He was decoated by Yagilka. Jogensen, who stopped the ball, immediately played smoothly with Pasqual. In the end, the latter shot from a long distance, but the facts further proved that his identity was the defender, which was very consistent with the shooting method and shot the ball into the stands.
In the 43rd minute, Fiorentina got a sure chance to score. Vieri received Osvaldo's penetrating direct pass and shot the ball to the dead corner on the left side of the goal, but Howard, who was focused, subconsciously touched the ball and blocked the bottom line to resolve the crisis, and surprised Everton's back in a cold sweat.
At the end of the first half, the two teams ended 0-0.
Moyes should be glad that he met today's Vieri. If it had been Vieri in previous years, the score on the court would have been rewritten long ago. The Fiorentina's threatening shots in the first half were all from Vieri. Vieri, standing on the European game, despite his hard work, he has played for years. In a better state than in the league, I still can't score goals.
Li Yu didn't get too many opportunities in the first half. The only opportunity, Li Yu still formed an attack and almost scored a goal. In the second half, if Everton still played in such a tactical way, he can only rely on Li Yu's personal performance to get a goal. In the first half, there was too little support from the midfielder to defend one. A draw, returning to the home court and then winning the opponent, this may be Moyes's plan for this game.
