The spn game really started in the second half. After 5 minutes, Everton conceded a goal first, 2-1!
The Russians saw a glimmer of hope again. No one expected that their counterattack would be effective so quickly. A bit of luck, an indispensable factor in football matches, seemed to be tilting towards Zenit at this moment.
With hope, Zenit players worked harder. No one knew why they had such changes in the first and second half. Advocaat stepped in and paced not knowing what he was thinking.
Li Yu kicked the ball out of the center circle, and when he touched the ball for the first time in the second half, it turned out to be a restart.
"Here!" Neville reached for the ball. After getting the ball, the Everton veteran calmly controlled the ball at his feet. Arshavin came up to grab the ball. Neville turned around and passed the ball back to Ley.
Scott and Arshavin had no choice but to pounce towards Lescott, but Lescott saw Neville waving and poked the ball with his toes, and the ball returned to the feet of the Everton captain again.[
Zlyanov came up to grab the ball. Neville protected the ball. Near the sideline, the two were entangled. Neville kicked the ball towards Zlyanov's calf. The ball went out of the sideline and Everton's
Throw-in ball.
At the critical moment, captain Neville did not shout, but used his actual actions to perform his duties as captain.
Neville, who was neither impatient nor impatient, immediately stabilized the mood of Everton's players.
Try to delay as much time as possible, consume time, and flatten the opponent's energy. The victory of the game is what is important.
The Everton fans did not complain at all. On the contrary, the Zenit players were anxious to delegate it to the Everton players. They booed immediately, complaining about their players, especially when the referee did not express any words. Everton
The fans booed even more.
Zenit finally managed to steal the ball. Faizhulin passed the ball directly to Arshavin. The latter used his excellent dribbling to pass the ball past Arteta and Jagielka, and was about to prepare for the long shot.
As he was shooting, Neville rushed forward.
Everton captain Neville has been running without hesitation, not looking like a 30-year-old veteran at all. He caught up with Arshavin's pace and intercepted the ball with a perfect sliding tackle from his side.
Arshavin lost his balance and fell directly to the grass.
Arshavin thought it was a foul. The referee shook his head and signaled the Russians to get up quickly.
The ball returned to Neville's feet. His movements were as smooth as a young boy. This was still the Manchester United player. He got up with his right hand on the ground and poked the ball to Arteta on the left.
When Li Yu saw the Spaniard receiving the ball, he immediately ran towards the frontcourt. In these few minutes, Everton's defense was under great pressure. Li Yu had been wandering near the center line waiting for an opportunity. His partner on the striker was stuck.
Hill immediately retreated and intercepted the opponent's attack in the midfield.
Given the opportunity to counterattack, Everton certainly would not let it go. The Spaniard was still dribbling the ball forward at high speed. Temosthuk immediately rushed to defend, but he had a yellow card in the first half. His actions were impossible.
It's too big, and he doesn't dare to knock down Arteta at will, keep up with others, and slow down Arteta. This is the result he wants.
When Arteta knew why he didn't put the tackle in, he strode towards the ball, ready to eat his opponent alive and kill you while you were sick.
Sure enough, when Arteta got rid of Temoschuk, the Russian made no additional moves and watched Spain overtake him.
After getting rid of someone, Arteta looked up at the movement of his teammates. Li Yu was struggling with someone, and Cahill was sprinting into the space.
Instead of passing it to his teammates immediately, he suddenly dunked and cut inside to the center. Zenit center player Denisov had to defend. As soon as he moved his steps, the Spaniard made a decisive direct pass, which happened to catch up with the card.
Hill took advantage of the situation and sprinted into Zenit's penalty area.
All the Everton fans held their breath. It was the best offensive opportunity in the second half so far. They believed that the Australians would be able to score with their recent good form. In an instant, the Everton fans stood up one after another, looking forward to the goal.
Coming again.
"Oh!!!!no!!!" The ball actually hit Zenit goalkeeper Malafeev's arms. He even had to save the ball, but the goal was not scored. Everton fans felt regretful.
.
Malafeev immediately launched a hand throw ball to launch a quick attack, and Zenit started a new round of attack.
The ball was thrown directly near the center circle. Arshavin, who was retreating, turned around on his toes and completed his movements in one go. At this time, the Tsar was full of firepower. He became more courageous and more daring to make moves.[
Arshavin is really good at breaking through when he is in good condition. He is very dexterous as he drills all over the midfield. Now, if Everton players want to intercept his ball, they must pay a certain price. Of course, it does not necessarily require a foul. It is very difficult to tackle.
He may have been passed by him and lost his defensive position. It is very difficult to defend from the front. The Czar does not have a fixed dribbling area and is very casual. He goes wherever there is time. Everton has a difficult time defending.
It has to be Neville. The captain of Everton in this game can be regarded as extraordinary. As the age increases, it is increasingly rare to have such a level of performance. However, in this game, the Everton players have seen how powerful the captain is.
.
"Another beautiful sliding tackle that fell to the ground. It was a good hit. There was no foul and the ball was still at his feet. All the Russian's previous efforts were in vain! As the old saying goes, every family has an old man like a treasure!" Tang Meng also said.
In awe of the abilities displayed by the Everton captain.
Arshavin fell to the ground again, his face flushed, and he kept making gestures in his hand to play cards. In his opinion, Neville must have committed a foul.
Realistically!
It was him who got the yellow card. The referee could no longer tolerate the Russian's performance. He refused to accept the penalty again and again. The referee could clearly see this sliding tackle. It was definitely a clean and beautiful tackle.
Hui is very confident in his penalty, so the Russian who doubts his penalty must accept the punishment, a yellow card!
Arshavin was so excited that he was still trying to judge. Fortunately, his teammates stepped forward in time to stop his impulsive behavior. Zenit was still one goal behind. If the captain was involved again, the game would be lost.
During the whole process, the game was not over yet. Neville was very graceful and did not pass the ball out. He kept it at his feet. He waited until the Zenit players dispersed before passing the ball out.
Goodison Park immediately burst into applause, applauding Neville's work ethic.
As soon as the Zenit players returned to their positions, they had to deal with Everton's attack. This time it was Li Yu.
He got the ball easily and finally waited for a golden opportunity. How could Li Yu miss it? He accelerated and without the close pressing of the Zenit players, he took the ball even sharper. He had been entangled with the Zenit players before.
It was the same everywhere. Suddenly no one came forward. Li Yu was not used to it. He accidentally put too much force on his feet and made a big mistake!
There are mistakes, but it's his own mistakes. Li Yu will chase after them with all his life.
His kick just missed two lateral shovels, one in front and one back. Fans who didn't know the truth thought that this was Li Yu's deliberate move. It was such a beautiful move that he broke through the two Zenit players in one go.
Fierce defense.
Li Yu jumped over the Zenit player who fell to the side and chased the ball. With heavy defense in the middle, he took the ball to the wing, where there was space.
Speed is good. Zenit players cannot keep up with Li Yu's speed. In fact, it is also difficult for Everton's own players to keep up with Li Yu's attacking speed. This is why Li Yu often works alone.
I can’t keep up with the speed!
When he led to the wing and found that no teammate was following him, Li Yu dunked directly into the penalty area. Zenit players were afraid that he would have such a skill.
Anyukov kept tugging and tugging, but did not stretch his legs. A little movement with his hands was fine. As long as you did not fall to the ground, the referee would not award a penalty kick. He stuck to Li Yu's side, still holding the jersey in his hand, and became more and more worried.
The more people started to use wrestling and pulling clothes when dealing with Li Yu, it was more concealed, but the effect was still the same.
Li Yu doesn't care about this. You have to hold on. I need to break through. The two of them are very close to each other. It's a good opportunity to eat the opponent alive. His shoulder bumps Anykov's body away. With a touch of the trend, the strength of the body is instantaneous.
break out.
Anyukov fell to the ground, still holding a handful of cloth in his hand.
Li Yu's jersey became a side cardigan. The torn jersey was slightly lifted by the wind, but he entered the penalty area. Zenit goalkeeper Malafeev blocked the angle of Li Yu's shot from the near corner. Central defender Shiro
Cove rushed toward Li Yu crazily.
There was no rush to shoot. Li Yu also knew that it was not easy to score from such a small angle. He was observing the movement of his teammates and if there was really no other way, he would find a way to shoot.
Shrokov would not give Li Yu that much time to wait. He restrained his movements a lot in the penalty area. He put his feet behind him and already stretched out his feet.[
Waiting for you to stretch your foot, and with a slight flick, the ball passes by Shrokov's feet, and another blue figure is in place, raising his foot to shoot hard.
"Unexpectedly, Li Yu once again sent an assist to his teammates. The second assist in this game, Cahill scored a goal! Haha, sometimes scoring a goal is actually very simple, just hit the empty goal and the ball goes in
!90% of the credit for the goal should be attributed to Li Yu!" Tang Meng said it was a bit exaggerated, but the fact is similar.
Li Yu and Cahill, who partnered as a striker for the first time, performed quite well!
At 3-1, Everton once again expanded the score and once again led Zenit by two goals.
There are still 25 minutes left in the game. Counting stoppage time, there are at most 30 minutes left. It will be difficult for Zenit to score two more goals in the next time.
