spn At the beginning of the second half of the game, Li Yu passed the ball to Cahill. The Manchester City players pressed hard. The Australian passed the ball back to the captain Neville behind him, allowing the captain to adjust the situation again.
Li Yu has been holding back his energy. As soon as the game started, he did not hesitate to use his physical strength, running through the gaps in Manchester City's defense. If Moyes' cannon blasted him during the halftime break, he would have been better off.
, the head coach didn’t say anything, but he felt the need to make amends.
Maybe he has forgotten that he scored both of Everton's goals in the first half. Will Manchester City let him be so comfortable in the second half?
Eriksson made corresponding adjustments. The Swedes focused on deploying a tactic to contain Li Yu. The method Manchester City came up with was fundamentally different from other teams. They wanted to cut off Arteta who was supplying Li Yu with artillery.
and Neville, in this way, Manchester City started to press very aggressively near the midfield line in the second half. Especially Arteta, who has the best tacit understanding with Li Yu, has been pressed by Manchester City players many times and had to redirect the ball to his own backcourt.
Knock back.
The old fox is indeed an old fox. The Swede used one move to suppress Everton's midfielder and reduce Li Yu's threat, killing two birds with one stone.[
Not long after the second half started, Manchester City almost equalized the score.
Arteta dribbled the ball upfield, and Vassell immediately stepped up to block him, but he kicked the football to Cahill who was on the right.
Pienaar has already moved forward and is waving his hand to the Australians to distribute the ball in time.
Cahill saw his teammate's movement and was about to knock the ball across the middle, but the ball at his feet had already been scooped away by Richards.
Manchester City immediately launched an attack. Richards controlled the football. He immediately handed the ball to Elano, allowing the latter to launch an attack. After the Brazilian stopped the ball, he moved the football forward and then accelerated, right from Neville's goal.
As he passed by, Yabo came up to intercept. Elano made a move to shoot. Yabo immediately fell to the ground and tackled, trying to block Elano's shot.
Unexpectedly, Elano's action was just a fake move. He slapped the football and then knocked the football behind him with his heel. At this time, Manchester City's striker Mwaruwari rarely appeared in his right place.
Manchester City's continuous passes have completely torn apart Everton's defense, and no one is marking Mwaruwari.
Manchester City fans finally saw hope of equalizing the score. If such a dangerous position allows the fans to calmly get the ball and shoot, it is estimated that the ball will be close to ten, which is almost close to a goal.
Mwaruwari didn't even adjust. He directly raised his right foot and shot with a rub. He aimed at the upper right corner of the goal!
Lescott rushed over from the other side. He flew out and tried to block Mwaruwari's shot. Apparently, he was half a beat too slow. Lescott, who was lying on the turf, watched the arc helplessly.
The line flies towards the goal.
Everton goalkeeper Howard made the right decision and threw himself towards the far post!
The American felt that his fingertips touched the football, but the force of the shot was too great. The football continued to spin towards the upper right corner of the goal.
Some Manchester City fans were already jumping high to celebrate, thinking that the goal was just in front of them, but they heard a "bang" sound and the football hit the post!
‘Ouch!’ The original sound of celebration suddenly turned into another sound. Manchester City fans couldn’t believe it, the ball didn’t go in.
For Everton fans, this was the gospel of God. Jadjelka quickly kicked the football out of the danger zone with a big kick, resolving the subsequent danger.
"Everton escaped! Manchester City's first attack in the second half almost equalized the score, especially the continuous passing before shooting was breathtaking. The final shot was also quite exciting, but Manchester City was a little unlucky.
!Man City is unlucky, then we can hope that Everton survives the disaster, which is a bit lucky!" Huang Jianxiang did not expect that Manchester City played so well from the beginning and almost scored a goal.
The ball did not go in, and Mwaruwari looked extremely annoyed. His huge body was still squatting at the place where he had just shot. The Zimbabwean knew that his position was already in jeopardy, and he could not wait to score a goal to consolidate his position in the team.
, and now the goalpost has made a joke to him, and there is nothing he can do but be a little bit bitter.
Wrong things lead to goals. Not only was Mwaruwari himself affected, but Manchester City's strong morale at the start also seemed to have weakened a lot.
Next, it was the turn of the Everton team who had survived the disaster. Their attacks came one after another. Three minutes later, Arteta got rid of the opponent's entangled long pass. Dunn wanted to header the ball to clear the siege but missed the ball.
It was given to Li Yu. It looked like a wonderful pass. Li Yu then picked up the ball. Pienaar quickly stepped in. Seeing that goalkeeper Hart was standing relatively high, he directly kicked the goal.[
After Hart took two steps back, he jumped up and barely picked up the football.
Manchester City fans also applauded their young goalkeeper for his outstanding performance. The young man just needs the encouragement of this kind of applause. He seemed quite excited and shouted loudly for his teammates to come forward, even though he was very disappointed with the defender's mistake just now.
Angry, but as a junior in the team, he couldn't say anything to criticize, he could only urge his teammates to attack.
After making the gesture, Hart slapped the football on the ground twice, looked ahead, and then drove the football away with a big kick.
The ball was high and far, and the kick had already reached Everton's second half. However, it was not a Manchester City player who took control of the football. Lescott still maintained his usual advantage in the head-on fight for the header, and his mood was not good.
Mwaruwari, who was tall, just used his body under Lescott and made no further moves.
The ball went to Pienaar's feet, and the South African gave Manchester City another big kick. He didn't just shoot randomly. Li Yu quickly stepped in and chased the football. Dunn stepped forward to meet the ball, intending to jump up and score it.
The football was pushed back, but there seemed to be something wrong with his judgment of where the football would land. Dunn jumped up but did not hit the football! This was a terrible header mistake, two consecutive header mistakes!
"Damn it!" Eriksson, who has always been elegant, stood on the sidelines and saw this scene. His face was livid and he cursed. This was the first word that came to his mind. He didn't understand what happened to Dunn in the second half. His condition was so poor that once was not enough.
Now this time it was another bad mistake, all low-level mistakes! Both times he faced Li Yu. Did Dunne want Li Yu to score another one and perform a hat trick?
Of course, Li Yu would not waste the gift from his opponent. He caught up with the football, unloaded it, and broke into the penalty area with the ball.
Hart was determined to attack, but he had no choice. If he didn't attack, he would have to wait for death!
Li Yu did not hit the goal recklessly this time. When he found out that Hart was attacking, he tiptoed and chose to lob. Hart didn't even think about it. He originally planned to throw himself out to block the goal, but now it was too late to retreat.
Suddenly, the football fell down and fell into the net. It bounced twice before staying quietly in the goal.
The fans of the home team at the Manchester City Stadium were really quiet this time. It would be cruel to the fans of any team to witness an opponent's player scoring a hat-trick at their home stadium.
"The ball went in!! Li Yu's goal! He scored! Hat trick! The Chinese fans waited until dawn not in vain. Everton led the home team Manchester City 3:1 in the away game. All three goals came from Chinese player Li
Yu, we should be grateful to Li Yu for being able to see the Chinese perform a hat trick in the Premier League with our own eyes!" Su Dong yelled out the explanation in a roaring voice.
"This game is becoming more and more interesting. Manchester City goalkeeper Hart has a big kick, and Everton also has a big kick. Why is the gap between the front and back so big! This is also thanks to Manchester City's central defender Dunn.
It was the second low-level mistake made in the game. This time Hart failed to save Manchester City, but we do know a good young English goalkeeper!" Huang Jianxiang is still a funny commentator, he can always find something interesting to explain.
"It's all my fault! But the game is still half an hour away, and we have plenty of opportunities!" Manchester City captain Dunn had to say something to appease his teammates at this time.
Moyes looked at the clock on the big screen. At 60 minutes, Everton had established a 2-goal lead again. The game seemed to have returned to how it was in the first half. This time, Everton could not go down the same path as it did at half-time.
After leading by two goals, he retreated to the defense. He immediately made a gesture, indicating that the players on the field must hold up the midfielder. Neville saw the coach's gesture and nodded to express his understanding. As the captain, Neville must implement Moyes's intention.
On the playing field.
In the ensuing time, the two teams started a fierce battle in the midfield. Everton no longer took a step back. It was no longer easy for Manchester City to get past the midfield. The impatient Manchester City players began to use Everton's first half tactics.
The method is to pass the ball long, but the problem is that the high center forward Mwaruwari on the front line is repeatedly defeated in the header competition. Manchester City's high center forward is not very good, and the headers he occasionally fights for are not very good.
Reliable, in most cases, he gave the ball to Everton players.
Seeing that the offense was still unable to open up the situation, Eriksson substituted two attacking players in succession. Vassell came on Castillo and Ireland came on Kesade. As of the 69th minute, Manchester City had made all the substitutions.
The quota has been used up. The Chinese derby that Chinese fans are eagerly awaiting has come to nothing again. It was highly promoted twice in a row. Once, Li Yu was injured and could not play at all. The second time, there was hope but it was impossible to realize because of Manchester City's lagging behind. However, watching the game
The Chinese fans were not disappointed at all. Seeing a Chinese hat-trick in the Premier League, their nights were not in vain!
