Chapter 167 The game that I can't understand

In the past few days when Li Yu was absent, Everton was first in the Premier League on April 6. The opponent was Derby County, the bottom of the millennium. After 32 rounds of the league, he only got 11 points. At present, the Derby County team, which has been relegated, has no fighting spirit in the game. At home, Everton easily defeated the opponent 2:0, which is a intention. As expected, the media is also lamenting Everton's good luck. Li Yu is absent, but their opponent is the weakest Derby County team. In the next second round of the away League Cup, a huge advantage of 3:1 is in hand. As long as it does not collapse away, the ending will not be unexpected. Almost a league has been booked. League Cup semi-finals.

The game that day was really like this. Everton has been using the strategy of defending and counterattacking since the beginning. After 90 minutes, the two teams ended 0:0. The scene was not good, but the effect was surprisingly good. The total score was still 3:1. Everton successfully entered the semi-finals.

The opponent in the semi-finals is the Glasgow Rangers. Everton's fans are sighing that good luck can't stop it.

The top two of the Bundesliga, Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, the former one was eliminated by Zenit, and then the emergency promotion of Bayern Munich will face Zenit in the semi-finals. There is nothing about Everton. It is an extremely lucky result. Fans are now fantasizing about the final instead of the semi-finals.

In addition to the League Cup, it is Li Yu's return date that affects the fans. After the two games, it has been 7 days. Why haven't I seen Li Yu return to the team to participate in training? Isn't it a 7- to 10-day recovery period?

This is also for the sake of Li Yu. For the sake of Li Yu, Li Yu must completely recover from his injury and return to the team. Anyway, in the next few days, Everton will face the weak Birmingham team in the 34 rounds of the league. Although it is an away game, Everton's team is full of fighting spirit. According to the media, this is also It's the 3 points that came in.

The optimism before the game really surprised everyone when it came to the scene of the game. The relegation team Birmingham played a wonderful game at home, and the whole game was suppressing Everton. If it hadn't been for the end of the game, Lescott would have taken advantage of the corner kick to score an equalizer, Everton They are about to lose away from home, so that they only get 1 point away from home. Without Li Yu, Everton's offensive ability can only be regarded as average.

However, Manchester United, the top spot on the table, defeated Arsenal, which is also a champion competitor, in a key battle. After 34 rounds, Manchester United led the second place Everton by 4 points and took the lead. The British media pointed out after the game that Everton's careless intention made them lose the final championship. This is the result of lack of experience. In the final stage of the league, the most terrible opponents are those teams in the relegation circle, which have killed red-eyed relegation teams, often become the key to the final championship.

Anyway, the words have been said by the British media. They scored 3 points before the game, and they said that they lacked experience after the game. The British media is completely according to the results of the game, and there is nothing to say about Everton. This is the lesson and the so-called experience.

On the road of champion, Moyes is undoubtedly a novice!

However, Manchester United have won Arsenal's further lead in the key battle. There are still the last four rounds in the league. Manchester United's opponents are 35 rounds away against Blackburn, 36 rounds against Chelsea, 37 rounds of home West Ham United, and 38 rounds away. Atletico Gonçaise, except for Chelsea, all other teams can be regarded as a desireless team, leading by 4 points, which can basically determine the final championship!

The only variable is Manchester United's Champions League schedule. In the final knockout stage, every opponent is a strong enemy. You must go all out. The two lines will definitely affect the performance in the league. The variable is on the Champions League!

After the end of the 34 rounds of the league, Li Yu finally returned to the team. In the locker room, she found that everyone's mood was not too high. The scene of casual chatting did not appear. They all bowed their heads and tidyed up their own equipment. He didn't even notice when he entered the door. Isn't it just a draw? "What's wrong with everyone? Is it? Don't you miss me too much?"

"LEE, it's great to see you! You seem to be a little fat!"

"Welcome back to the team. You are not only fat, but also white. You must not have left the house much, right?"

"I want to, of course I want to. Without you, my gambling would be less fun!"

Everyone stood up one after another and came forward to communicate cordially. Li Yu's return made everyone very happy. Inexplicably, they felt confident. The two consecutive draws made everyone depressed. Now the boy who will score goals is back. How can everyone be unhappy, as if Li Yu's return to Everton has the motivation to move forward and General confidence.

In the following training class, all Everton's first-team players showed good form, which made the coaching staff see and happy in their hearts. They sighed that Li Yu was becoming more and more important to Everton, but when he thought of the recent transfer rumors, he couldn't help but be a little worried. If he had been in Everton, he should How nice!

Moyes also has the same idea. He has repeatedly communicated with Chairman Ken Wright about Li Yu's transfer, but the chairman's answer disappointed the Scots. Everton's salary structure cannot be destroyed, and it cannot destroy the current good salary structure of Everton for a player. Li Yu's salary increase can only be as high. The weekly salary is 100,000 yuan, which is the upper limit. No one can break through this upper salary, and there is no non-sale item in Everton Club. It is not a player trained by his youth training. It is nothing more than a matter of price, and the rest is to sell to whom!

Helpless, Moyes clearly knows that there is no need to worry about the front line problem in the future. As long as Li Yu is left, Everton's front line problem in the next 10 years can be completely solved. However, it seems that this good wish has become a luxury hope. With Everton's current economic strength, he can't keep Li Yu, and he can't help anything else. The huge check of the club**.

After talking for a long time, it's all caused by money. Professional football is getting closer and more like a money game. With the continuous influx of foreign capital into the Premier League, Everton wants to maintain his British bloodline all the time. This situation of buying low and selling at a high price must continue. Everton's backstage boss is not a big Russian. Where's Heng!

Looking for Li Yu's replacement has become another job for Moyes in addition to the game. He must find good people in advance. At the same time, the players on the front line also have to face a blood change. At present, Johnson and Albertche can't fill the vacancy left by Li Yu after leaving, and even both of them have to leave, from the last few games. In the game, it can be seen that Moyes no longer trusts the ability of others on the front line except Li Yu in Everton.

Saha in Manchester United became the first name that flashed in his mind. The most important thing was that he didn't need a transfer fee. Moyes habitually made a serious mistake. After thinking for a long time, he turned out to be a free forward and asked him to find a front line of more than 1000W. It's really a little difficult for him. I really haven't paid attention to it before!

Unexpectedly, he could only hope to scout the team to see what other suitable candidates he could find. At present, he will finish the game first.

There are two events in front of Everton below. Moyes has been weighing the trade-offs of the two games. At the critical moment, important trade-offs must be made. Is it all in the league or the UEFA Cup?

In the communication with Mr. Chairman, Moyes and Chairman Kenlet have no different opinions on this issue. They must go all out in the League Cup. This is a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity for Everton. It is a must-have opportunity. Perhaps they also know that there will be no Li Yu's lucky bonus in the future League Cup. There may be no more chance, and in the current situation of the Premier League, Everton is not optimistic. He will play in the UEFA Cup, and the league will definitely be affected. Judging from Manchester United's current momentum, he has the greatest hope in the end.

The opponent in the 35th round is the Blues Chelsea. Now the Blues ranks fourth in the league, 6 points behind the first place Manchester United, and still have the hope of winning the league championship. They still have to face Manchester United in the 36th round. If they win all these two games, Chelsea still has hope. There is no problem to attack with the two lines of the Blues' lineup. Big.

It is a difficult problem for Everton. Immediately after the game, the semi-final of the first leg of the UEFA Cup, in line with the strategy of the UEFA Cup, Moyes wants to retain his strength in the Chelsea game.

In the game that day, Li Yu did not appear on the starting list. He was placed on the bench, and he sat there all the game. He watched Everton lose to his opponent with a score of 0:1 at home. Li Yu couldn't figure out why it was like this. Why is the team? Isn't it necessary to win the final victory in every game?

This feeling of watching his team being defeated by his opponent filled Li Yu's whole body. No matter what, he couldn't figure it out. The league championship in his heart was getting farther and farther away from him. The championship he wanted to leave for Everton was actually given up by Everton himself. Why didn't he compete? Now that he had given up, but He was placed on the bench to let him witness all this. Maybe he was a little comfort to the home fans after 2:0. The 1:0 score Moyes recognized the score in his heart, so he didn't have to play again!

It's terrible and disappointing to think about it!

After the game, Li Yu found Moyes and said what he thought. The two quarreled fiercely for the first time. In Li Yu's opinion, he had no problem. There was nothing wrong with him helping the team win the game.

And Moyes voluntarily gave up or reserved the game, which was some distance from the football he had in mind.

No one can convince anyone. The two people stand from different angles, and the conclusion reached can't convince each other at all...
