spn "Everton! Everton!! Everton!!! Everton!!" Everton fans shouted when the game was about to start, waiting for the players to enter the field. They wanted to make the Russians feel
pressure!
The entire stadium continues to heat up, like the roar of a volcano about to erupt. The entire Goodison Park stadium seems to be shaking. This is a key battle for the UEFA Cup, and this is also a battle for Everton fans.
The players finally entered the stadium. Everton players saluted the fans one after another. Along with the high-pitched commentary of the on-site commentary, the fans shouted the players' names together.
When calling Li Yu, he heard the familiar voice again, "lee!"
Everton fans still call Li Yu this way, without calling him by his full name, so what? [
Anyway, Li Yu feels friendly!
This round of competition is also broadcast live on China's Shanghai Sports Station. It is the only TV station in China that has a live signal for this competition.
Tang Meng sat alone in front of the commentary table, "I feel honored to be able to commentate on this game for everyone. This is also my first time commentating on a game involving Chinese player Li Yu. It is already late at night. Please watch the game.
Friends, please pay attention to the volume problem!"
"However, I can't guarantee that I can still control my volume when Li Yu scores a goal!" After the explanation, there was another advertisement for Heineken, the sponsor of the UEFA Cup.
Back from commercials, the game officially started. Everton took the lead in kicking off the center circle. Li Yu received a pass from teammate Cahill and chose to pass the ball back immediately. Everton firmly held the ball in the first minute of the game.
controls the ball on the court.
The Russians, playing away from home, did not choose to actively press. When the two teams met for the first time, they both chose to get to know and test their opponents in the opening stage, and did not rush to attack from the beginning.
The Russian team has always been known for its sharp offense and active fighting, and Zenit St. Petersburg head coach Advocaat also made a reluctant move.
Li Yusu is the most threatening player in Everton's team. Now all Everton's opponents have to carefully study this popular No. 22 player before playing against him.
The more opponents study, the more terrifying they discover about Li Yu, because all the opponent's head coaches can see that this Oriental player has not really stabilized on the court yet, and he has such terrifying offensive strength.
So what happens next?
The Zenit coach didn't know how to really freeze Li Yu's offensive point. The game still had to be played, and he had to find a way even if there was no other way. The Dutch were going to use a very special method to treat Li Yu.
The whole team is keeping an eye on Li Yu, that is, whoever faces Li Yu must do everything possible to stop him, so that every time he takes a step closer to the Zenit goal, he has to face the pressing of Zenit players. Not only
Even when picking up the ball, you must also pay attention to protection before catching the ball, and block the receiving line as much as possible. Taking care of a player in all aspects will inevitably give other Everton players more opportunities, but the Dutchman is
The game was arranged in such a way that anyone could score, but Li Yu couldn't!
Before the game, the Russian media had been saying that compared to Arshavin, Li Yu was more domineering. Almost every goal he scored was an interpretation of strength and beauty, while Arshavin was a little more low-key, at least in the game.
That’s what the Russian media on the court thinks.
Arshavin also looked at me with enthusiasm and wanted the media in his own country to tell me that I was not as good as him. That was impossible.
Five minutes before the game, Li Yu was frozen by Zenit's crowd tactics, but Arshavin was extremely active. The czar could be seen everywhere in Everton's frontcourt.
After receiving a horizontal pass from Fay Zhulin, Arshavin took advantage of the situation and shot a long shot, which was his first shot in the game. Although it did not hit the goal range, his sudden shot was still
Very threatening.
With the core players leading the way, Zenit took the lead and Everton launched a comprehensive attack at home. The Everton team, which initially intended to control the game, had to speed up its pace to counter the Russian attack.
Thinking fast and slow at the same time, neither team wanted to let their opponents lead the way. Everton defended Russia's offensive combination, and it was their turn to be slow.
In fact, Li Yu's relatively passive nature in previous games has something to do with it. Everton wanted to find Li Yu the ball as soon as possible, but their opponents were heavy on defense. Everton made many undue passing errors.
.
After discovering this, Everton's players on the field changed their playing style in time, fighting for the first point without going through Li Yu's transition, and slowly using coordination to advance, and the effect was indeed very good.[
Pienaar became Everton's frontcourt organizer at this time, and he controlled Everton's ball play and rhythm, while Cahill was also actively running to respond.
"Shoot! What a pity the Australian's header! It was just a little bit short, the ball was higher than the goal frame. I dare say if Johnson, who has a smoother head, had been the one to head it, the ball might have gone in!" Tang Meng
I finally saw Everton's dangerous attack, and my voice was obviously raised a few points, not very neutral. Who said Everton has Li Yu!
The ball did not go in. Cahill jumped twice in frustration, covered his face with his hands and slid down. He waved to Pienaar who was passing the ball on the other side, turned around and ran back.
The game lasted 8 minutes, and both teams had one shot each. Everton was more dangerous, while Zenit won more offensive rounds, but the number of shots was the same.
Zenit continues to increase the intensity of fighting. The movements are not necessarily too big, but the defensive intensity is very high.
Especially when it comes to Li Yu's defense, there will always be Zenit players confronting him whenever the ball comes up, affecting his running and getting the ball.
"There's no need for the ball to be like this!" Li Yu found that every Zenit player was like a bullshit plaster. He just ran away to avoid one stick, and another one came immediately. This was the first time he had encountered such a game. It is undeniable.
The Russian players' movements are very clean, without too many additional little moves.
In the 10th minute, Li Yucai finally got rid of the Zenit players who were watching closely and waved for Arteta to pass the ball. The Spaniard immediately passed the ball without any hesitation.
As soon as the ball reached his feet, Arshavin made a flying tackle and knocked Li Yulian down with the ball. After being tackled, the ball reached the feet of Zenit midfielder Zlyanov.
"What a hell gesture!" Li Yu thought the tackle was a foul, but the referee did not blow the whistle and signaled the game to continue.
Of course Moyes saw it. Not only did he see the kick just now, he also discovered Zenit's preferential treatment to Li Yu, "Foul, Russia is targeting!"
The furious Scotland kept walking back and forth on the sidelines, insisting that the Russian No. 10 made a malicious tackle. He couldn't remember the specific name, but the number 10 in his hand was clearly visible.
The referee on duty had to wave to the sidelines as a warning.
Moyes calmed down, but instead of walking back to the coaching bench, he squatted down on the spot. If you have the ability, can you help me adjust the stands?
After Zenit's attack ended, the referee immediately ran to the sidelines and without hesitation gave Moyes a yellow card for daring to challenge his execution.
Who would have thought that the first yellow card of this game was given to the head coach of the home team!
Of course, Everton fans couldn't let go of the referee and booed. They were using their voices to put pressure on the referee.
In fact, the referee's line of sight was blocked by the running player. The action he saw was Arshavin's foot poking away the ball. As for the shoveling action, he did not see it, so it was difficult to make a penalty.
Hearing the boos all over the place, the referee couldn't help but feel that there was something wrong.
He didn't say it, but in the next game, in order to stop the boos from the home fans, he still gave Everton a little care. Zenit, who was relatively more active, suffered a bit, and maybe he didn't say it.
Taking care of it, the punishment is relatively harsh.
Li Yu finally waited for a chance, got rid of Temoschuk's close body and got the ball, made a circle on the ball with both feet, suddenly leaned forward, and directly used speed to break through Temoschuk's unstable footing.
gram.
As soon as he made a breakthrough, he moved his body to the other side and leaned over again, "It's really endless!" [
In desperation, he had no choice but to knock the ball across to Neville, who was being marked. He accelerated and sprinted forward. He didn't believe that he didn't have the ball at his feet, and the Zenit players didn't let him go.
In fact, no one could keep up with him. Even pulling the jersey when the ball was on the ball could not stop Li Yu's sprint. All Zenit's defensive attention was attracted by Li Yu.
Neville got the ball and took a look at the situation on Li Yu's side. He took the ball in the opposite direction and was immediately transferred to Cahill on the other side. The Australian easily unloaded the ball and turned around calmly.
After completing a complete set of actions, Zenit defender Krizanak was able to defend in place.
"Don't let him kick!" Zenit goalkeeper Malafeev's line of sight was blocked and he was loudly instructing his teammates to defend.
Sure enough, Cahill made a shooting action, but he didn't hear the opponent's goalkeeper's words, but he wanted to fake a shot and pass the ball. Krizanak was not a roundworm in Cahill's belly. He heard the goalkeeper's words.
Hint, I found the action again, it was still fake, my body immediately jumped into the air to block the shooting angle.
"This guy is so sincere!" Cahill didn't even think that his fake move would be such a big move for the defensive player. He dunked the ball in the opposite direction and dribbled the ball through.
The huge space in the center of Zenit's penalty area became a vacuum zone. Zenit center back Shrokov, who was originally defending Li Yu, returned to defend the center. He did not rush to intercept, but was very experienced in forcing the Australian to intercept.
The ball is driven towards the side of the penalty area.
Cahill realized that he didn't have a good chance, so he had an idea and used his back heel to pass the ball back to his teammates in an extremely subtle way. Pienaar understood and caught up just in time.
Krizanak was quite smart this time and stood firmly in his position, refusing to listen to the command from behind.
Pienaar suddenly kicked the ball into the penalty area.
"No, watch No. 22!" Krizanak turned around and spotted Li Yu's figure, and he also directed his teammates.
