Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

Chapter 274

Liverpool, Everton training base.

Scotsman David Moyes is frowning, reflecting on the team's performance this season.

Last season, even though the star player Wayne Rooney was sold to the red-nosed old man, Everton unexpectedly achieved the fourth place in the league and qualified for the European war.

Result.

Since losing to Villare in the Champions League qualifiers last year and being eliminated early in the Europa League group stage.

This season's team's performance has declined sharply. Since the first half of the league, it has been hovering around the 10th place in the league.

Now, Everton ranks 12th in the league.

This position is no problem for relegation, but for Everton, who finished fourth in the league last season.

It is undoubtedly a disappointing season.

David Moyes is still something to lead Everton to rise and win the Premier League Coach of the Year twice in three years.

Soon.

He analyzed the reasons for this season's failure.

"In the final analysis, it was because of the European games at the beginning of the season that affected the performance in the league."

"In the end, neither side achieved results."

"The good news is that there will be no European games to play next season, haha."

The Scotsman shook his head with a little self-mockery, and then picked up the relevant information of Manchester City with a headache.

Want to beat Manchester City? Difficult, very difficult.

David Moyes knew this very well.

Last time he played against the team, he gave the players tactical lessons every day before the game, but in the end, the No. 9 of Manchester City led the team to win the game.

So this time.

David Moyes is ready to settle for the second best, anyway, the points are basically determined, since he can't win.

Then pursue a draw and don't give Manchester City 3 points!

In this way.

Manchester City will fall into a passive position in the competition with Chelsea for the top spot, which is equivalent to Everton winning in disguise!

After making up his mind.

David Moyes immediately asked his assistant to gather the players in the tactical explanation room.

Teacher Moyes's tactics class is open again.

"Boss, it's really hard to play against Manchester City."

"Boss, are we going to catch that Su and siege him this time?"

"Do you have any good tactics, boss?"

Everton's players are very active and seem to have a good relationship with David Moyes, chattering about their opinions.

This may be the reason why Everton was able to reach the fourth place in the Premier League last season!

They are very united.

"Ahem."

David Moyes cleared his throat and showed an expression that everything was under control.

"Good news!"

"I have figured out a way to beat Manchester City from one angle!"

"Come on, listen to me!"

...............................................

On April 25, the 36th round of the Premier League arrived.

At Everton's home stadium, Goodison Park, the game between Manchester City and Everton is about to begin.

A cute little girl wearing an Everton jersey.

Carrying a small basket.

Jumping along the sidelines of the stadium.

At the same time, throwing blue-wrapped Everton Toffees to the fans in the stands!

The fans laughed and actively caught the thrown candies.

Wang Tao, the commentator who saw this scene in the ESPN live broadcast room, began to popularize science to the audience watching on TV.

"Haha, fans."

"What you are seeing now is Everton's unique traditional customs!"

"This is also the reason why Everton is called toffee."

"When Everton was first established in 1878, a famous local candy store in Liverpool invented a candy called Everton Toffee."

"Everton's success made this candy famous."

"So."

"In the last century, in order to thank the fans for their love and support, Everton added this special ceremony before the game."

"I won't hide it from you."

"Before the game, Teacher Zhan Jun and I bought Everton Toffees at the local candy store."

"Sweet and delicious, really good!"

-【Haha, I learned it from Brother Tao again. 】

-【Wang Tao still knows a lot, he has a lot of knowledge and is well prepared. 】

-【Come on, come on, Manchester City! Win Everton steadily! 】

-【Stop praising, Tao Ge doesn't give away jerseys to fans here, if you want to praise, you have to leave a message on Sina. 】

While we were chatting here, the entrance ceremony was over.

Beep!

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began!

As the visiting team, Manchester City took the lead in kicking off.

Su Fei knocked the ball back to Modric behind him to organize, and at the same time led Cassano and Vassell to attack Everton.Everton's formation.

Before the game.

Stuart reiterated the basic principles of this game in the locker room.

Not only to win, but also to try to score more goals.

To prevent a draw with Chelsea and to avoid losing the Premier League title due to a goal difference.

Manchester City was ready to launch a fierce attack at the start.

Everton showed their attitude towards this game in the starting lineup early on.

There was only one James Beattie in the forward position, and five defenders were placed in front of the goal, 5-4-1, a standard midfield and backfield defense lineup.

"Manchester City's first attack."

"Modric dribbled the ball to the side and crossed the center line."

"The pass was given to Cassano in front."

"Cassano!"

"He was double-teamed by two Everton players."

"He was forced to pass the ball back to Modric."

"Modric was also double-teamed and passed the ball back to Mills who was advancing."

"Everton's coordinated defense in the backcourt today was very active. As long as the ball crossed the center line, they would double-team you and force you to pass the ball."

Before Zhan Jun finished speaking in the ESPN live broadcast room, Manchester City lost the ball.

Mills' hasty cross pass under the double-team was intercepted by Everton midfielder Tim Cahill.

Everton who got the ball back.

There was no rush to advance the counterattack. Instead, Tim Cahill passed the ball to Mikel Arteta in the back.

Next.

It was a scene of Manchester City and Everton chasing each other, high-pressure pressing vs. passing the ball back and forth in the backcourt.

.........................................

Stewart stood on the sidelines, and as the game time passed, his eyebrows began to frown slightly.

10 minutes, a full 10 minutes.

Although Manchester City completed several counter-pressing after high-pressure during the period, they failed to form an effective offensive coordination.

On the contrary, it was Everton.

Through various short passes with a large number of people in the midfield and backcourt, they firmly controlled the ball.

The key is.

Everton got the ball, but had no desire to attack at all, and the number of times the ball crossed the center line was very few.

Just passed the ball back and forth in the backcourt, pulling Manchester City's frontcourt pressing.

Stewart moved his eyes.

He happened to meet David Moyes standing not far away.

The Scotsman smiled slightly, obviously very satisfied with the performance of his players on the field at this time, and was in a good mood.

The old man also forced a smile to indicate.

Then he immediately turned his head.

His eyebrows were twisted into a knot.

Damn it.

Moyes, this guy, is going to make Everton a turtle today.

This is not a good thing for Manchester City, who urgently needs to win or even more goals.

!
