Chapter 153 The Supplementary Match at White Hart Lane
The bustling transfer market is still open, the London media is helping the wealthy Chelsea find prey, and the Manchester media is helping the duo compete for big-name players.

The only quiet among the giants is Liverpool. Their team image and record are too bad, so almost no big-name players are willing to have anything to do with them.

On the contrary, everyone wanted to escape from this quagmire, and the Uruguayan Suarez was the first to escape successfully. He successfully joined the Barcelona club at a price of 2800 million pounds, and Liverpool lost a powerful striker.

Although the whole world is looking for manpower, so far only Dots of the Uruguayan national team and Beev of California of the American Major League League have signed a one-year contract.Obviously, these two players from the American League only want to use Liverpool as a springboard, but Liverpool, which is in desperate need of a striker, is already hungry.

The only thing that makes Liverpool fans happy is that their city rival Everton has nothing to gain. I heard that they cleaned up 7 garbage contracts, only bought a nigger central defender, and then received a garbage back, and then signed Donovan from the American Major League Los Angeles Galaxy who had recovered from a serious injury.Then the next day they announced the closure of the transfer window.

Big Brother, don’t laugh at Second Brother, and Second Brother, don’t laugh at Big Brother either. In short, Liverpool is really cold this winter.

With an evolved body, Lin Yi naturally has a certain resistance to the cold, but he still can't do what the fans in the stands in front of him cheer for the team shirtless in the snow. In Lin Yi's view, this is completely masochistic.

The game went smoothly. In the 5th minute, Jelavic scored a header in the penalty area to help the team take the lead, 1:0.In the 29th minute, Drenthe broke through the penalty area and won a penalty. Baines made it overnight, 2:0.In the 52nd minute of the second half, the second team player Frank scored the first goal of Everton's first team with a long shot from outside the penalty area, 3:0.

With no suspense in the victory, Moyes replaced three second-team players in one go.Although the youth army also created some opportunities at the last moment, it was a pity that they could not be converted into goals.

3:0, Everton advanced to the 4th round of the FA Cup. Their opponent was Fulham, which had won the day before, a team that had been replaced by Everton's second-tier team.

After Lin Yi in the stands saw the strength shown by the visiting team, he became more confident in the new team that Evergrande will establish.

……

In the second day's training, Everton had another newcomer. This man was Donovan, who was affectionately called Captain America by the fans.

Unlike Yabo, who is also a rookie, Donovan once played for Everton briefly in the 09-10 season, so he has an earlier understanding of "tradition".

However, Ji Dong saw a completely different characteristic from the Americans, that is, professional attitude.Donovan really sees "tradition" as a pure job, not anything else.

"Traditionally" he concedes directly. His explanation is that he is a comprehensive player on the court, and he is not particularly outstanding in any aspect, so he does not compare. As for other skills in life, he is not interested in comparing.And Americans rarely communicate with other people, at most they talk to two fellow American goalkeepers.

Donovan in training gave Ji Dong a completely different view, which can only be described as meticulous, no matter how small the details are, he would never miss them.

In the "tradition" of the evening, apart from Ji Dong and Barkley, there was finally one more Donovan joining the ranks of drinking milk.According to Donovan, it's not that he doesn't know how to drink, but he doesn't drink during the season.Just because of this sentence, Ji Dong respected him. No wonder he was able to lead the US team to the World Cup and America's Cup in such a senior year, and he was still in such a good state.

……

The name of White Hart Lane Stadium is Lin Yi's favorite name, and it feels particularly aura.In the past few seasons, Tottenham's newcomers have emerged in large numbers, Rose, Walker, and Dos Santos are all temporary choices. Of course, their greatest treasure is the Welshman Gareth Bale.

Before Lin Yi's sudden rise, Bell had already won the Premier League Best Newcomer Award. The media generally believed that Tottenham could not keep this super rookie. Now it depends on which giants can buy this gem from Tottenham, a black shop.

In addition to newcomers, they also have a large number of outstanding players in their prime, Van der Vaart, Modric, Gallas, Defoe and Adebayor.Among them, what attracted Ji Dong's attention most was their midfield commander, Modric, nicknamed the Magic Flute. It was rumored that he was an assistant named by Ronaldo of Real Madrid and wanted to be signed by the club.

Because it was a make-up match in the middle of the week, and there was no cup match this week, this game attracted the attention of many people. Before the game started, the director caught several big fish in the auditorium and the VIP boxes.

The first to be found was England's current head coach Fabio Capello. Today he came to inspect the English players in this team. In the World Cup qualifiers, Defoe and Lennon were his key inspection objects. In addition, Everton's rookie on the right, Ross Barkley, was also on his observation list.

The second one to be found was Tottenham's arch-enemy Arsenal legendary player Henry and legendary coach Arsene Wenger. As soon as the two Frenchmen appeared on the screen, the fans booed wildly. Arch-rivals are not welcome here.

The third AC Milan's bald boss Galliani was discovered, and the Italian was accompanied by Tottenham's club chairman Levi. Could it be that AC Milan has taken a fancy to a Tottenham player?And have the two sides already talked about it?Otherwise, how could Levi accompany him, and why hadn't heard of any rumors before.

"It seems that there are quite a lot of people who came to watch this game. Let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two starting teams. Let's first look at the home team Tottenham Hotspur:
Today Redknapp followed the 4312 attack formation, goalkeeper Friedel; left back Walker, center back is Gallas partner Ledley King, right back Hector; left midfielder Gareth Bale, Modric is in the center, right midfielder is Parker; midfielder Van der Vaart connects the midfield and risk, and the first two are Adebayor and Defoe.

This is almost the strongest lineup that Tottenham can make. Look at these young people. Only 30 of them are over 4 years old. The average age is 27 years old. Although they are not the youngest in the Premier League, they have the fastest average speed in the Premier League.

Under the training of Redknapp, this Tottenham can be said to have matured in terms of personnel structure and age structure. This season, they are clinging to the Manchester City duo in the Premier League. They also performed well in the Champions League. "

"Well, I agree with you Gary. Even the European media have analyzed that it is time for Tottenham to produce results, but it is a pity that they have encountered the strongest Manchester City in history and the thriving Manchester United. With Tottenham's current strength, if they are in Serie A or Bundesliga, they really have the strength to win the league championship.

Next, look at today's visiting team Everton starting lineup. Moyes continues to use his usual 442 today, goalkeeper Howard; the back line from left to right is Baines, Jagielka, Distin and Hibbert; the midfielders are Neville, Lin, Fellaini and Rodwell; the double forwards are Cahill and Jelavic.

Although Everton's lineup does not seem to be as strong as Tottenham, I am more optimistic about Everton in this game. "

"Why Daly? Is it because your idol Lin is in their lineup?"

"Yes, not all. We all know that Tottenham is one of the strongest offensive teams in the Premier League this season, but don't forget that Everton's offensive power is not weak, and Everton's offense and defense are more balanced, while Tottenham is a typical team with strong offense and weak defense. Their defense relies more on the efforts of the defense."

"No, no, I think Tottenham have a better chance. The reason is very simple. Their attack power is too strong, and Redknapp also made special arrangements for Lin today. In my opinion, Parker is preparing for Lin. Although he may not be able to defend Lin, as long as he can interfere, I think Tottenham will be strong enough to control the midfield."

"I still stand by my opinion."

"Daley, let's make a bet! What if Tottenham commented that you were shirtless! If Everton won I was shirtless, and if it was a tie, let's pretend it didn't happen."

"It's a deal, I want to see if your muscles are still there."

Neville won the coin guessing session, and Everton kicked off first.Cahill's return pass went directly to Ji Dong's feet, and Everton pressed up all the way, and the midfielder quickly rushed across the half.

The first player Ji Dong faced was Adebayor. The lazy people just stretched out their feet symbolically to show that they had resisted. In his view, his task was to score goals, and as for defense, it was a matter behind him.That's why he's just good, far from great.

After easily breaking through Adebayor, Ji Dong suddenly accelerated, and the change in rhythm tricked the slow-moving Van der Vaart into speeding up and preparing to intercept.But Ji Dong made another sudden stop, his goal was not Van der Vaart, he was waiting for Cahill and Jelavic to get to their positions.

With this emergency stop, Jelavic ran near the opponent's back line. Lin Yi made a long pass with a big foot, and the football flew forward quickly.Jelavic saw that Ji Dong was passing it to him, and the line happened to be behind Gala.

"Jin Yi's long pass is very powerful. Let's see how it works. Gala, Galla retreats very quickly. His high jumping header is very dangerous. If Galla is a little slower, the ball will be thrown behind him. Lin sent a very thoughtful long pass in the first minute. It seems that he is in very good form today."

Gallas's hasty header clearance was not far away, and Everton still had a chance.As soon as the football fell at Parker's feet, Rodwell and Cahill rushed up in an instant, and Everton's high position pressed.

Parker didn't expect the opponent's attack to be so resolute from the beginning, without any intention of testing.Parker's strength is defense, so his first thought was to pass the ball out.But he was still a little slow, his pass was blocked by Cahill stretching his legs, and the football bounced and rolled towards Parker's back after changing direction.

"Everton's tackle up front, the second attack, beautiful. The Aussie is dribbling and Lin has run up to catch it."

Parker knew very well where the opponent's attack usually started, so he didn't immediately chase after the lost ball. Naturally, his teammates would deal with it behind him. His task was to keep an eye on Lin who ran forward to meet him. This was the most dangerous person.

Facing the marked Parker, Ji Dong continued to run forward, and when the two were approaching, Ji Dong suddenly ran sideways, throwing Parker away at once, and when Parker wanted to speed up to chase again, he found that Lin had already got the ball again.

Damn, I'm still too naive.But Ji Dong didn't dribble the ball, he didn't make any movement to stop the ball, and Cahill's return pass was passed directly by him.

With a diagonal pass at a 45° angle, the football was able to bypass Modric's toes that stretched to the limit, and then was firmly stopped by his compatriot Jelavic who was at the back. Facing Gallas who stepped forward to block, Jelavic chose to shoot directly.

"Shoot, beautiful, Friedel's save saved the goal. Although the shot was very powerful, Friedel still pressed the ball firmly under him. In the 2nd minute, Jelavic completed the first shot of the game. Everton is in good form today, and their offense is very determined..."

Everton's offense is indeed resolute. The tactic Moyes formulated before the game was to attack. He has enough confidence in his players' offensive ability, and he firmly believes that he will not be weaker than Tottenham.

What really gave Moyes the confidence to play against is that Everton has a better defense. In his opinion, it is difficult to prevent Tottenham from scoring in this game, but as long as he scores more than the opponent, he still wins.

"Wonderful, it seems that tonight's game will be a wonderful offensive battle."
