future king

.

In the few days when spn Li Yu was absent, Everton first played the Premier League on April 4th. Their opponent was Derby County, which was at the bottom of the millennium. After 6 rounds of the league, they only scored 32 points. The Derby County team, which is now definitely relegated There was no fighting spirit in the game, and Everton easily won the opponent 11:2 at home. This is an expected 0 points. The weakest Derby County team has a huge 3:3 advantage in their hands in the second round of the UEFA Cup away game. As long as they don't collapse in the away game, the ending will not be unexpected. A UEFA Cup semi-final seat has almost been booked.

The game that day was really like this. Everton has been using the strategy of defending and counterattacking since the beginning. After 90 minutes, the two teams ended 0:0. The scene was not good, but the effect was surprisingly good. The total score was still 3:1. Fulton successfully entered the semi-finals.

The opponent in the semi-finals is the superpower Glasgow Rangers. Everton fans are sighing that good luck can't stop it.

The top two in the Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, the former one was eliminated by Zenit, and then Bayern Munich, which was urgently promoted, will face Zenit in the semi-finals. There is no such thing as Everton. It is extremely lucky. , fans are now fantasizing about the final instead of the semi-final.

Except for the UEFA Cup, it is Li Yu's return date to attract fans. After the two games, 7 days have passed. Why hasn't Li Yu returned to the team to participate in training? Isn't it a 7-10 day recovery period? [

This is also for the sake of Li Yu, and Moyes must make sure that Li Yu returns to the team according to the lower limit, heals his injury thoroughly before returning to the team. Anyway, Everton will face the underdog Birmingham in the next few days in the 34 league rounds. It's an away game, but the Everton team is in full swing. According to the media, this is also a 3-point game.

The optimism before the game was beyond everyone's expectations when they arrived at the game. The relegation team Birmingham played a wonderful game at their home court. Everton was suppressed by the audience, if it was not at the end of the game. , Lescott took advantage of a corner kick and scored an equalizer goal. Everton was about to lose the away game, so they only scored 1 point in the away game. Without Li Yu, Everton's offensive ability, Can only be regarded as average.

However, Manchester United, the top player in the standings, defeated Arsenal, which is also a championship contender, in a crucial battle. After 34 rounds, Manchester United led the No.2 Everton by 4 points, and the British media were all in the game. Later reports pointedly pointed out that Everton’s carelessness caused them to lose the final championship. This was the result of inexperience. In the final stage of the league, the most terrifying opponents are those teams in the relegation circle. The best relegation team can often become the key to the final championship.

Anyway, let the British media say it again. They said before the game that they scored the 3 points, and they said they were inexperienced after the game. The British media completely followed the results of the game and ordered dishes. Everton has always There is nothing to say, this is the lesson and the so-called experience.

On the road to the championship, Moyes is undoubtedly a novice!

However, Manchester United won the crucial battle against Arsenal and took a step forward to establish a leading advantage. There are still four final rounds in the league. Manchester United's opponents are 35 rounds against Blackburn away, 36 rounds against Chelsea away, and 37 rounds at home to West Ham. United and Wigan Athletic in the 38th round, except for Chelsea, other teams can be regarded as the desired team, leading by 4 points, and the final champion can be basically determined!

The only variable is Manchester United's Champions League schedule. In the final knockout stage, every opponent is a strong enemy. They must go all out and attack on two fronts, which will inevitably affect their performance in the league. The variable lies in the Champions Cup!

After the 34th round of the league, Li Yu finally returned to the team. In the locker room, he found that the mood of everyone was not too high, and the usual scene of casual chatting did not appear. He didn't even notice when he entered the door. Isn't it a draw? "What's the matter, everyone, do you miss me too much?"

"Lee, it's great to see you! You seem to be getting a little fat!"

"Welcome back to the team, you kid is not only fat, but also white, you must not have been out of the house much?"

"I think, of course I do, without you my gambling would be less fun!"

Everyone stood up one after another and went forward to communicate cordially. Li Yu's return made everyone very happy, and somehow they felt confident in their hearts. The two consecutive draws made everyone very depressed. Now the kid who can score goals is back. How could everyone be unhappy, as if Li Yu's return to Everton gave him the motivation and confidence to move forward.

In the next training session, all Everton first-team players showed a good state, which made the coaching staff see it in their eyes and feel happy in their hearts, secretly lamenting that Li Yu is becoming more and more important to Everton Now, but thinking of the recent transfer rumors, I can't help but feel a little worried. How great it would be if he stayed at Everton all the time!

Moyes also thought the same way. He repeatedly discussed Li Yu’s transfer with Chairman Ken Wright, but Mr. Chairman’s answer disappointed the Scotsman. Forton's current salary structure is good. Li Yu's salary can only be increased to a maximum of 10 per week. This is the upper limit. The players cultivated by their own youth training are not only a question of price, but the rest is who to sell to!

Nai, Moyes clearly knows that there is no need to worry about the striker problem in the future. As long as Li Yu is kept, Everton's striker problem in the next 10 years can be completely solved. Such an extravagant hope, with Everton's current economic strength, it can't keep Li Yu, nor can it withstand the temptation of huge checks from other clubs.

After talking for a long time, it is all caused by money. Professional football is becoming more and more like a money game. With the continuous influx of foreign capital into the Premier League, Everton wants to keep its British blood. The situation of buying high and selling high must continue, who said that the backstage boss of Everton is not a Russian tycoon!

Finding Li Yu's replacement has become another job for Moyes in addition to the game. It is necessary to find a good person in advance. The players on the front line also face a replacement. From the current point of view, neither Johnson nor Alberte can fill in. The vacancy left by Li Yu's departure, even the two of them have to leave, from the last few games, it can be seen that Moyes no longer trusts the ability of anyone else except Li Yu in Everton on the front line.

Saha in the Manchester United team became the first name that flashed in his mind. The most important thing is that he does not need a transfer fee. Moyes habitually committed the problem of careful calculation. After thinking for a long time, he turned out to be a free striker. , it is really difficult for him to find a striker with more than 1000w, and he has never paid attention to it in the past!

Unexpected for a while, he can only hope that the team's scouts can find any suitable candidates, and let's talk about getting the game right now. [

Next, there are two more competitions ahead of Everton. Moyes has been weighing the trade-offs between the two competitions. At critical moments, important trade-offs must be made. Should he focus on the league or the UEFA Cup?

In the communication with Mr. Chairman, Moyes and Chairman Ken Wright have no different opinions on this issue. The UEFA Cup must go all out. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Everton. It is an opportunity that must be won. Perhaps They also know that without Li Yu's lucky bonus in future UEFA Cup games, they may not have another chance. Judging from the current situation in the Premier League games, Everton is not optimistic. They will go all out to play in the UEFA Cup. Will be affected, judging from Manchester United's current momentum, in the end he still has the greatest hope.

The opponent in the 35th round is the blue team Chelsea. Now the blue team ranks fourth in the league, 1 points behind the No. If they win, Chelsea still has hope. It is not a big problem to attack on two lines with the Blues' lineup.

It is a difficult problem for Everton. Immediately after the game, there will be the semi-finals of the first round of the UEFA Cup. Based on the strategy of the UEFA Cup, Moyes wants to retain his strength in Chelsea's game.

In the game that day, Li Yu, whom people hoped to see, did not appear in the starting lineup. He was placed on the bench, and he sat there for the whole game, watching helplessly as Everton played at home. The score of 0:1 lost to the opponent, Li Yu couldn't understand why this happened, why did the team adopt such a strategy, didn't they want to fight for the final victory in every game?

This feeling of watching his team being defeated by his opponent filled Li Yu's whole body. He couldn't figure it out anyway. The league champion in his heart was getting farther and farther away from him. The championship was given up by Everton himself, why not fight for it, since he has already given up, but he was placed on the bench to let him witness all this, maybe he is a point for the home fans after 2:0 Consolation, with a score of 1:0, Moyes recognized the score in his heart, so he doesn't have to play again!

Terrible to think about, disappointing!

After the game, Li Yu found Moyes and expressed his thoughts. The two had a fierce quarrel for the first time. From Li Yu's point of view, he had no problems. He wanted to help the team win the game. correct.

And Moyes voluntarily gave up or played the game with some reservations, which was a little far from the football in his mind.

No one can convince the other, the perspectives of the two people are different, and the conclusions drawn cannot convince each other at all
