Chapter Thirty-Six: Championship Game?

,

spn All 16 Everton players who went away for the away game on that day got on the team bus, and Li Yu was of course among them. Most of the players knew it. From the people who got on the bus, they could know whether they would start tomorrow's game.

During the appearance, Li Yu began to sleep as soon as she got in the car, seizing the time to replenish her energy.

Johnson pointed at Li Yu with a wicked smile, "Did you see it? My beautiful girlfriend took out my strike partner!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Although everyone knows that this is a joke, many people still agree with it more or less when they see Li Yu like this.

Moyes was sitting in the front row and heard the chatter and laughter of the players behind him. He frowned and exchanged a look with the assistant coach.[

It is obvious to all that Li Yu is no longer in form. Moyes is seriously thinking about his starting position. However, Moyes still believes in the words of assistant coach Alan Avni and is ready to put Li Yu into the substitute lineup.

After running all the way, the Everton team bus finally arrived at the Reading Club. After checking in at the hotel, the players returned to their respective rooms to rest early. Li Yu was still in the same room as Johnson. The bald brother didn't even carry his luggage.

Without clearing it up, he took out his PS3 again and prepared to start playing two games immediately. Li Yu fell asleep in the car and had no energy to play now.

But in the end, he couldn't resist Johnson's offensive and was forced to give in. Li Yu also agreed to play a few games before the meal. Of course, this time it was a live game without monetary rewards.

The result was no doubt that Li Yu lost all the games, but Johnson felt that Li Yu was improving, and the score in each game was decreasing to varying degrees, which showed that Li Yu was still playing against him seriously.

After the game is over, dinner begins. The team arranges a nutritious meal for the players specially prepared by the hotel, without greasy food.

Everton players, who were tired after a long day's journey, returned to their rooms after dinner in high spirits, preparing to take an early rest and try to stay in good shape for tomorrow's third round match.

The ideas of most players obviously cannot be applied to Li Yu's roommate Johnson. Some bald men who are too energetic have to hold live football matches before going to bed. He even summons the game players during the meal.

How could Li Yu, a roommate, be let go?

Fortunately, Johnson was more measured and did not proceed too late. At 11 o'clock, the second competition ended successfully. The biggest winner was still Johnson. Three people, including Li Yu, each paid 200 euros in tuition again.

After a night of talking, Everton had a tactical preparation meeting the next morning. Before the meeting, Moyes announced the starting list for this game. Li Yu's name did not appear in the 11-man starting list. He started in the first two rounds of the league.

With the forward combination, Li Yu can only be on the bench in this game.

Li Yu knew that it was the head coach who discovered his state, and he hoped that he would not think that this was the sequelae of the madness during the break with Jenny. Li Yu didn't have any other ideas.

On Saturday, August 18, 2007, Reading’s Medjewski Stadium was full. Even though the game was scheduled to be played in the afternoon, Reading fans were still very excited. This was Reading’s second home game this season.

The team here narrowly lost to Chelsea by one goal. Reading fans hope that this round, Medjeski Stadium can usher in the first home victory of the season.

"Hello, fans, my name is Huang Jianxiang, and I am very happy to be able to explain to the fans again in the live broadcast of the Premier League! However, what is a little surprising is that the player that the fans are most concerned about, Li Yu, did not appear in Evergreen today.

In the starting lineup, he was placed on the bench today. Is this because of Moyes' tactical needs? Or is it?

Xu was afraid that Reading's ferocious tackles would hurt Li Yu. In order to protect him, Moyes specially asked him to play as a substitute? This is really worthy of our fans' attention. Let us wait for the game to start and welcome our Chinese player Li Yu.

came on as a substitute, I believe we will be able to see this scene in the second half." Huang Jianxiang's voice appeared on the TV.

"Jianxiang, you are right! Li Yu, who has scored 4 goals in the first two rounds, will definitely appear, but before that, we need a little patience! Let me first introduce the current situation of the home team. Previously, they scored 1 point

Reading caused trouble for both Manchester United and Chelsea in the first two rounds. Giessen received a red card in the Manchester United game and was suspended for three games, and Cisse was ejected in the game against Chelsea and was also suspended." Su Dong took over the words,

Added a little more.

Reading is wearing an all-red jersey, while the visiting team Everton is still wearing their blue and white jerseys. The referee of this game is Rennie, who is currently the only black referee in the Premier League.

cut.

Referee Rennie blew the whistle and the game officially started.

Reading showed off its home momentum in the opening stages and launched an attack from the start.

Their playing style is very simple. The Reading team, which has always used quick attacks as its main offensive method, midfielder Stephen Hunter took the ball and directly launched an attack with a long pass. It was simple and direct, but it also seemed a bit too rough.

A season of training in the Premier League has not allowed Reading to get rid of the tactical style of play in the British Championship.[

The ball was successfully resolved by Lescott's header back to goalkeeper Howard.

Subsequently, the game was dragged into a midfield melee by the Reading players. The second round of Reading was at their home court. They did not want Everton to be forced to return to Liverpool after the last round. They drove to Reading yesterday.

, Reading at home is waiting for work, while Everton, the visiting team, has to move away from home after a tiring journey.

As soon as the game started, they fell into Reading's established style of play, which gave Everton no good chances at all, but Reading people were as vicious as ever.

The Reading players are full of energy, like tigers descending from the mountain, rushing towards the Everton players. This is the Reading team. Just looking at the momentum can make opponents fearful.

However, Everton didn't have much confidence. In the battle for the midfield, Reading gradually took control. Now Everton was in trouble.

Long passes were rushed away time and time again. Reading was not afraid of losing the ball due to passing errors. They would just get the ball back once it was lost, but the pressure on Everton's defense was increasing little by little.

In the 20th minute of the game, Lescott stopped the ball with his chest in the penalty area, but the unloaded ball touched his arm strangely. All the Reading frontcourt players raised their arms high, signaling to the referee that this was a

There was a handball foul, but referee Rennie took it all in and signaled the game to continue.

In the 29th minute, Stephen Hunter had a chance to help Reading score. Forward Kevin Doyle suddenly pulled to the wing and made a pass. Hunter, who was ambushing in the back point, got an excellent chance to score. He was guarded by people.

, and actually knocked the ball away.

Reading head coach Steve Koppell was even more upset off the field than the players on the field. He sat on the coaching bench with his head in his hands and did not watch the game on the field for a long time.

Everton has not yet had a threatening attack at this time. Is this the best reflection of the true strength of the two teams? Obviously not.

In the following time, Everton players were also looking for opportunities to attack, but under the pressure of their opponent Reading players, the ball was often successfully intercepted by their opponents before passing it a few times. Moyes made a plan before the game.

The foot-out tactic actually increased the turnover rate of Everton players. This has a great relationship with the state of the players. Everton players left their game state and feelings on the bus while riding back and forth.

.

Moyes really didn't expect that the players would be so collective that they couldn't find the feeling of the game. This was so suspicious. In fact, the live game screen was pointed at Moyes. In the camera, Moyes looked out of the corner of his eye.

He glanced at Li Yu sitting on the bench.

"Is Everton going to replace Li Yu in the first half? Moyes's eyebrows will be opened again because of such a substitution. Please listen to the voice from the east!" Huang Jianxiang's unique joking explanation,

After the 2006 World Cup, he appeared in TV commentary again.

"Haha, Jianxiang! Your words may be in vain. Moyes withdrew his gaze and did not let Li Yu warm up. Reading's style of play is too targeted. Everton should really make adjustments early.

, today they made too many mistakes despite their opponent's fierce defense!" Su Dong rarely laughed when he was explaining. This kind of relaxed explanation, like chatting with friends, made him explain.

Very relaxing.

"I feel that this is the style of play arranged by Moyes, but it is a pity that the current state of Everton's players on the field has not exerted its due effect, but has increased the turnover rate! Is it because the Premier League is trying to cater to more people?

Asian audiences moved the game to the afternoon, which also affected the performance of Everton players on the field!" Huang Jianxiang further analyzed the situation on the field.

The game was a bit boring. Reading's style of play turned the game into a Championship showdown, with both sides fighting for body and headers.

Domestic fans did not witness the Li Yu they most wanted to see, but the commentary by Huang Jianxiang and Su Dong did not disappoint the fans. This excellent commentary combination will surely set off a craze for watching football again.

The rise of the Premier League will also gradually attract the attention of domestic fans. More and more domestic fans no longer prefer Serie A and Bundesliga, the leagues with broadcast rights for CCTV, to watch the Premier League and La Liga online, especially the new generation.

This is especially true for young fans. Li Yu's name is becoming more and more recognized by the Chinese people. At this time, the domestic ban has a tendency to break the ice. The day of breaking the ice is not far away. Of course, there are some who smell excellent business opportunities.

of merchants.

The two commentators have been talking about some off-field topics around the game. Unconsciously, the first half of the game has entered 40 minutes, and the score on the field is still 0-0.
