spn's short one-day holiday passed quickly, and the players had to face the next match task. Fortunately, this was a League Cup match task, and the opponent was still a British Championship team. The last official match between the two teams was in 2000.
, For this game, Moyes plans to rotate a large number of players for the away game. The Everton players on the training ground are also relatively relaxed. The defeat in the last game did not have much psychological impact.
During the training, the groups were doing some restorative training, and then they were playing some interesting games as a group. The players found that today's training was a bit special. There was no technical and tactical arrangement at all, although Moyes had been observing from the sidelines.
, but he only stood there for less than 20 minutes. After arranging the group game, he left the training ground and handed over the rest of the training to his assistant Alan Avni, while he returned to the office to consider the rotation of the lineup.
During the training the next day, the League Cup squad was announced. Li Yu did not appear on this list. Like him, there were Arteta and Neville, and Yabo took turns in the defense.
In this way, their players who have no match duties will stay in Liverpool, train with the reserve team, and maintain their condition.
Everton has left half of its main force, which is basically the case for other Premier League teams participating in the League Cup this round. The League Cup has always been valued by Premier League teams, and generally only the semi-finals will feature all the main players.[
On September 26, Everton won the game with a big score of 3 goals at Hillsborough Stadium. Anichebe, who had not been in the starting lineup for a long time, scored two goals. McFadden also scored a goal as the icing on the cake, while Xie
Wednesday only had 2 shots on target. Even if they scored all 2 shots, they still couldn't beat Everton. Obviously, their opponent paid less attention to the League Cup than Everton. In recent years, Sheffield Wednesday has been in the English Championship.
, has always been a team that wants to win, and there is no hope of reaching the top spot without relegation. Such a team should pay attention to the League Cup, but the good results since the start of the English Championship make Sheffield Wednesday seem to have seen something.
If we hope to reach the Premier League, then we have to give up the League Cup. The entire reserve team poses no threat, and Everton will win too easily.
If Everton hadn't shown mercy, the outcome of this game would have been even more disparate.
The League Cup competition is over, and on September 30, Everton will face the challenge of Middlesbrough at their home court.
One game in three days, this is how Everton came through. The impact of the European war on the strong teams has gradually appeared in the league. Many teams have suffered injuries, and their records in the league have also begun to fluctuate.
indefinite.
Chelsea was tied by Fulham at home, becoming the biggest upset since the start of this round!
Other powerful teams like Liverpool and Arsenal only defeated their opponents by one goal.
Then the next match between Manchester United and Everton will become the focus of this round.
The media is as optimistic about Manchester United as ever, and newly promoted Birmingham City's chances of winning at home are slim.
Everton, who plays at home, is not as favored by the media as Manchester United. The reason is very simple. The team Everton will face is Middlesbrough.
Middlesbrough head coach Southgate has indeed made several good deals this season. For the defender position, Southgate first secured the deal he most desired, turning Woodgate into a regular official and officially leaving the position with a worth of 7 million.
Real Madrid signed him to a four-year contract. After returning to China, Woodgate's ability has been fully proven. This deal can be said to be the highlight of Middlesbrough's new season transfer.
The industry reputation that Real Madrid produces must be high-quality products cannot be denied.
In addition, Middlesbrough also acquired Luke Young from the relegated Charlton team for 2.5 million to strengthen their shortcomings at right back. Luke has always wanted to return to the national team. This time he came to Middlesbrough and at least played.
There will be no shortage of opportunities to appear.
Arsenal striker Aliadiere was no longer interested in being a cup player under Wenger. He chose to move to Middlesbrough. The contract price was 2 million and the period was 4 years. Tuguet, who played for Fenerbach, joined Middlesbrough for free. The contract
The term is also four years. He scored a hat-trick against Manchester United in the 2004 Champions League. Although he joined for free, Tuguet is actually one of Southgate's main members.
The transfers were all expected, so there was little sensation. Forward Christie injured his left leg and then his right leg. His career at Middlesbrough ended bleakly. The club ended his contract, and Dan, who had no position,
Nigel Graham went to Carlisle as the main forward. Viduka, the top forward last season, joined Newcastle, which did not cause much response. Australians are used to changing clubs after two or three years.
Parnaby, who has played for Middlesbrough for 14 years, went to Birmingham this time. Bruce likes his versatility on the right. The Portuguese Xavier moved to the American Major League as a free agent, and Beckham
Become a teammate.
Although there are few newcomers, they are all strong players, which will inevitably affect the configuration of the lineup. However, Schwarzer's position at the goalkeeper position is still stable, and Jones continues to beat him.
Last season, Woodgate and the Austrian Bogaerts partnered perfectly. There is no reason not to continue to be the main force this season. One has regained his dignity in his home country, and the other became the best in the team last season. Southgate will definitely use this combination.
In the end, German Huth and local player Andrew Davis will become the main substitutes, and players like Rigot can only seek opportunities in the cup.
Andrew Taylor's meteoric rise has made him the most solid member of Middlesbrough besides the goalkeeper. His left back seems to be replaceable, and the right back is naturally Luke Young's world.[
In the forward position, Boateng in the center and Downing on the left are unshakable. The problem lies in the selection of the other two. Southgate showed signs of using Tuncay as an attacking midfielder, which caused Cattermole's loss.
The chance of survival is much smaller, and Alka also has the possibility of making a cameo on the right. Of course, there is also the variable of Rosenbach. He is a character who can play in the center or on the side, and can defend and attack. It depends on Southgate at that time.
arrangement.
Yakubu has become the biggest player in the forward line. The strength of Nigeria's Black Devils is obvious to all. All Southgate has to do is to choose a good partner for him.
The media are lamenting that Middlesbrough's current strength is not inferior to Everton's, and Middlesbrough does not have to worry about continuous fighting. They need to worry about their physical fitness.
Whether Everton can return to its previous good form, Middlesbrough has become the most optimistic touchstone for the British media. Aston Villa's strength has not been exaggerated by the media too much. So in the home game against Middlesbrough, Everton
If Dun is strong again, the British media will no longer be merciful, and overwhelming negative reports will appear. Moyes certainly knows the habits of the British media. In this game, his team must not only win, but also win as beautifully as possible.
, to calm the media’s doubts.
The media in China that pay attention to Li Yu are most concerned about whether he can play and whether he scores goals after playing. As for Everton, everything is just a cloud. If you win, we will help you promote it. If you lose, we will report on Li Yu.
Wonderful performance.
The media from both countries have their own focus, but they still work together to pursue the news they want to report. Outside the Bellefield training base the day before the game, there were all reporters. The reporters from the Chinese media were completely overshadowed.
The local media in the UK, at least in terms of numbers, listed it like this.
After the training, many players left the training base in their own cars. The British press conference immediately rushed over and asked for interviews. However, the Chinese reporters, who had the largest number of people, calmly watched the work of their foreign counterparts. However, if they found that car
When Che was helping Li Yu sneak out of the base, the situation was different again.
Now that Chinese reporters have experience, the focus is on the cars of Arteta and Johnson. Li Yu has the highest chance of appearing in the cars of these two people. As soon as Arteta’s BMW car appeared, all Chinese media were dispatched. Arteta
If Ta didn't roll down the car so that reporters could take a clear picture, he wouldn't have been able to rush out.
As for the local British media, it is basically impossible to break into the circle.
After many duels, not only did the media have a clue, but Li Yu who was photographed also made great progress. When Arteta was seen in the car without seeing Li Yu's figure, he was let go by the Chinese media, and the British
The media finally had a chance to ask questions. After asking a few questions, the British media dispersed and Arteta drove out of sight of the reporters.
After driving a few kilometers, Li Yu got out, put away the black blanket that covered her figure, and got into the back seat.
It turned out that Li Yudu began to use camouflage tools to hide, covering himself with a black blanket and lying in the empty space in front of the back seat. Lying in the back seat had no effect anymore, so he had no choice but to hide in this place.
"Escaped again! Thank you, Mikel!" Li Yu put down the car and thanked Arteta with a happy face.
"Haha, you are the most interesting player I have ever seen. Others want more media attention, but you find ways to avoid the media!" Arteta has always been confused about the way Li Yu faces the media, chatting
expressed his opinion.
"If there is another football player in China who can be noticed, I will definitely not hide like this. But now I have become a delicacy in the eyes of the media, and everyone wants to take a bite. This feeling is really uncomfortable. Try to get as much for yourself as possible.
Space, hide away. This is the best way I can think of. If you can't hide, just accept it!" Li Yu expressed his thoughts frankly.
"You! It's a bit enviable!" Arteta pointed at Li Yu through the rearview mirror, and then smiled: "But it's also pitiful. It seems that you have lost a lot! At least I think you are like this.
Fortunately, there are so many midfielders in Spain who are better than me, but you are the only one in China!"
"I knew you had a but!"
The laughter of two people came from inside the car at the same time.
