Chapter 120 Midfield Warm Up

.

spn Li Yu has not been on the team's roster for the past two games since his return. Although he has been confirmed by the team doctor, Moyes still chooses to let Li Yu attend some team training before arranging him to play .

One of the FA Cup matches against the League One team Oldham, Everton voluntarily gave up the game, lost to the opponent at home and was eliminated, and now Moyes puts all his energy on In the league and the UEFA Cup, without the fetters of the cup, Everton's not-so-rich lineup can barely handle it.

But then in the league, Everton once again lost the points they got. In the 25th round of the match against Blackburn, the team only brought back 1 point from the away game. What worries the fans most is that the scores of the two teams It was another 0-0 match against Tottenham. The score was still the same this time. Fans appealed to Moyes to let Li Yu return to the field quickly. , Everton fans who traveled with the team shouted Li Yu's name.

Moyes has been under the greatest pressure since the start of the game. Giving up the FA Cup is to maintain competitiveness in the league, but now there is a weak offensive situation. The team's top scorer has returned to the team, but he still has to exclude Li Yu. Besides the roster, he also knew that Li Yu would play in the next game no matter what!

On February 2th, when Everton faced Reading at home, Li Yu finally appeared in the squad for the game. However, facing the crippled Reading, Moyes did not put Li Yu in the starting lineup. Yu sat on the bench. If Everton's game goes smoothly, then Li Yu may have to wait another game before returning to the game. [

Reading has suffered 6 consecutive defeats in the previous league, and the prospect of relegation is bleak, but at the beginning of the game, the performance of the Reading team must not be as described by the media before. The players in the team have no fighting spirit. When encountering a team that will cause headaches, the actions of the Reading players on the field are still very fierce.

Everton players fell to the ground again and again, making Moyes on the sidelines terrified. While praying that no one would be injured, he shouted loudly so that the perpetrators would get the punishment they deserved.

Li Yu, who was sitting on the bench, knew that the team doctor and the head coach were concerned about his own health, but he was still a little depressed. He was on the sidelines of the field, so close to the field, and now he couldn't restrain his desire to In the last game, I wanted to experience the feeling of scoring a goal. This feeling has not been seen for a long time.

Li Yu secretly took a look at Moyes who was standing on the sidelines and yelling. Unexpectedly, Moyes suddenly turned his head and looked at him, and the eyes of the two met unexpectedly.

Moyes could see from Li Yu's expression, what kind of thoughts this kid is thinking, what else can he think, he wants to play!

Li Yu nodded resolutely, and the scene between the two of them was completely in harmony with each other.

Moyes, who was standing on the sidelines, suddenly fell silent. He was thinking about whether to let Li Yu play, and then wait, at least until after halftime.

Li Yu, Everton's No. 22 player, sat on the sidelines and seemed a little absent-minded. He was worried about gains and losses. He didn't know if he would get a chance to play. Suddenly, there was a huge boo from the Everton fans at the scene. A flying shovel fell to the ground. The Nigerian, who is a little thin, is obviously extremely uncomfortable with the arrogant playing style of the Reading player. The fans on the scene are worried about his small body.

Reading's players also played in the same way as they did. They all looked full of anger. Everton wanted to deliver the ball to the frontcourt smoothly. It was impossible for one or two people not to fall to the ground. Since the beginning, Everton fans The booing never stopped, and there were two times when conflicts between players almost broke out, but it was not without cost for Reading to play like this. In just 15 minutes of the game, 3 Reading players had already received yellow cards.

Everton didn't have much to do against such an unreasonable team. The only bright spot in the first half happened in the 23rd minute. Arteta passed Xiao Lei with a beautiful pull from the front of the penalty area. Matt Chowski, who came up to press, passed the ball to Neville who was in the middle. The captain of Everton made a long-range shot, and after successfully tricking Austell to come up to block, he pulled the football , and then put the football towards the goal with his right foot!

Neville's sudden kick made Reading's defense in chaos. In the chaos, Johnson stretched out a kick to complete the shot. Unfortunately, the bald man's shot hit the arms of Reading goalkeeper Hahnemann. As long as it is a little bit off, no one can stop the goal!

Li Yubai, who was sitting on the bench, scratched his heart at the pitiful exclamations of the Everton fans. He was so close to the fans that he could even hear the complaints from the fans behind him.

Moyes seemed unusually calm. He also knew that it was not easy for Johnson to get a shot like this. Of course, it would be better if he went in. Failure to score could only show that his team was not very lucky. However, he It was still decided to replace Alberteche with Li Yu at the beginning of the second half. The Nigerian has made almost no contribution so far in the game. It can be seen that the rough play of the Reading players has made him a little timid, and he can obviously win. For the ball, he let it out as soon as it was bumped. This is an action that Moyes believes should be the last thing a player should do. In this game, Alberteche appeared several times.

In the end, the first half ended with a score of 0-0. Neither team scored a goal. In fact, in the 37th minute, Everton had another excellent opportunity. A one-handed opportunity was immediately formed, but the Nigerian seemed a little lacking in confidence. He shot the ball vigorously and directly kicked the ball into the stands. Even Everton fans would think that this is not a striker's shooting skills at all. How do you look at it? How is it like a defender's shot, and Reading's chance to get close to the goal in the first half appeared in the 41st minute. In a free kick in the frontcourt, Reading striker Lita grabbed the ball and Howard struggled to save the ball Then another striker from Reading, Kitson, kicked the ball to the goalpost. Fortunately, there was help from the goalpost. Team Ding.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the Everton fans who were still in shock booed sporadically at Goodison Park, expressing their disappointment.

At half-time, Everton's home team dressing room was gloomy and terrible. The players would rather bear the cold weather of the British winter outside than feel the gloomy face of manager Moyes in the heating.

All the old players in the team knew that Moyes was the scariest moment in this matter. In the past, when the Scottish cannon fired, it could blast people to pieces. Now that the cannon is misfired, and it is being grinded with a slow knife, who is not afraid!

Especially in the first half of the game, Alberteche, who performed abnormally, was a timid Nigerian, and now his legs were shaking uncontrollably, and the atmosphere in the home locker room was so cold that he was about to freeze .

"As a whole, in the second half, you need to concentrate and beat your opponent as a whole. I don't want another 0-0 show!" Moyes glanced at the crowd. They all nodded and said, "Understood, boss!"

At this time, Moyes glanced at Li Yu, who was a little silent, and seemed to be hesitant to replace Li Yu so early, but thinking of the team's current predicament and the dissatisfaction of the home fans, Moyes still made a decision, "lee , you go out to warm up, you can play as soon as the second half begins!"

Li Yu excitedly replied yes, after staying away from the stadium for more than a month, he can finally return to the stadium. This feeling of urgency is beyond imagination for outsiders. He immediately ran out of the locker room and went to the stadium to warm up. Since If the head coach said it, there were only ten minutes left before his appearance, and he had to buy time for warm-up.

When Moyes said such words, Alberte knew that he was going to be replaced. He was a little frustrated, but he didn’t dare to show anything at this time. To save face for him, he did not criticize him by name.

At this time, the Everton fans saw who the player who ran out to warm up was No. 22!Don't doubt the look in your eyes, Li Yu is really warming up on the 22nd!

Seeing Li Yu warming up on the field ahead of time, this was the first time the fans saw this figure after leaving the stadium for more than a month, Goodison Park erupted into cheers, everyone's face was full of joy, Goals are coming, the team's top scorer is back!

The standings have slipped to the third place, with 2 consecutive 0-0 draws, Everton fans have long been looking forward to the injured No. 22 playing the game, and finally the hope is here, the signal expressed by Li Yu's warm-up at this time , so that the fans couldn't hide their inner excitement, and the fans began to shout the name of their No. 22 player.

"lee! lee! lee! lee!"

The dull atmosphere in the arena was swept away by Li Yu. He didn't even imagine that he would make the fans so excited just by warming up. Hit a nice goal.

Moyes heard the lively shouts outside in the locker room. It seems that this kid has won the love of the fans. A smile appeared on Moyes' sharp-edged face, and the chilly home team's locker room finally recovered. signs.
