Chapter 253 The Fall of Everton and the Prominence of the Trident
Chapter 252 The Fall of Everton and the Prominence of the Trident

The most important reason why Everton became a super dark horse last season was Lin Yi's important performance on both ends of the offense and defense. He is the player with the most passes per game, the player with the highest pass success rate, and the player with the most interceptions and steals.

However, in view of Everton's business philosophy, this season they lost Ji Dong, the backbone of the defense Jagielka, and the defender Baines. In this way, their defense has been reduced to a level.

The 15 minutes after the opening also confirmed everyone's speculation. Everton, who played at home, took the lead in attacking. They wanted to take advantage of the advantage of the home court to make a head start.

Everton found that it was difficult for their offense to gain space when they advanced to an area of ​​about 40 meters in the hinterland of Manchester United. Manchester United's defensive line built from the midfield blocked Everton's pass and control in waves, and soon the positions of the offensive and defensive sides changed.

Attack, can't attack!Keep it, can't keep it!
Manchester United's current offensive system is to first find Ji Dong, who will guide the direction and rhythm of the offense.And Ji Dong, as a person who has experienced the Everton system, he clearly knows the joint nodes in this system and the method to crack it.

Every time Ji Dong can appear in front of his former teammates to receive the ball or steal, and his passes can always avoid the unkempt cover defense.So far, although Lin Yi has not taken a single shot, he has made three threatening passes, among which Rooney and Van Persie made a shot, and Nani also had a header from Lin Yi's pass. However, Howard was very excited today, and his high-block block ensured that Everton's goal was not broken.

However, if you stay for a long time, you will lose, and Everton was punished by Howard's performance.

In the 20th minute, Everton's attack, Fellaini's pass successfully hit Cleverly behind, Naismith ran all the way after receiving the ball to get rid of Cleverly's pursuit, and the Everton team pressed forward.

Naismith played for the Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers last season. Because the Rangers went bankrupt and reorganized, Naismith used a free transfer to join his compatriot Moyes.Faced with Ross Barkley's competition, Naismith hopes that the starting team won by Nuli will bring him good luck.He is very excited today because this is a game against the great Manchester United. Although Everton was suppressed before, he believes that as long as he is given a chance, it is not impossible to use Everton as a springboard to enter the giants.

"Naismith is accelerating. His speed is very fast. Ji Dong, Ji Dong is not far behind him, and he is about to catch up. The Everton players are reminding Naismith loudly, but the scene is too noisy and he doesn't seem to hear it..."

He is about to reach the place he is most familiar with. As long as he reaches the place called the "Naismith area" by the Scottish Premier League, his cross can create the greatest threat. He has already seen Jelavic attacking the penalty area.This is an opportunity, a chance for the proud Englishman to see him, the Scottish international.

However, just as he was about to enter the "Naismith zone", out of the corner of his eye, he saw a person catching up from the outer lane on the right. Although he couldn't see the person's face clearly in his haste, he knew that the only one who could catch up so quickly was Ji Dong, whom his teammates had always been obsessed with.

It was too late, and the cross had to be made in advance, and the rest depended on Jelavic's fight and luck.However, Naismith not only underestimated Ji Dong's return speed, but also underestimated his foot frequency and speed.

Naismith made a cross, but when his feet first touched the football, he found that the football seemed to have hit a wall. No matter how much force his feet exerted behind him, the football could not move forward, let alone cross.

"Jin Yi, Ji Dong blocked this football, beautiful..."

Ji Dong not only blocked the football, but after the football under force flew up vertically, Naismith, unable to contain the force, fell to the ground helplessly, while Ji Dong, who was blocking the ball with his legs, took a step forward and jumped high.

After Ji Dong steals in the backcourt, what the frontcourt teammates have to do is to find a good line of receiving the ball immediately, because Ji Dong's football is likely to be in front of him immediately, and that is the best opportunity to play a fast break.Whether it is Manchester United or Everton players who know this, because this is how they benefited last season.

Sure enough, Ji Dong passed the ball.

"Jin Yi's long pass from the backcourt, Manchester United's two strikers are running forward, Everton's defenders are also quickly returning to the defense, Ji Dong's characteristics are not characteristic for these two teams, let's see who can get the ball..."

Indeed, in terms of familiarity with Lin Yi, Everton has an advantage, but the problem is that Lin Yi's preference is now Manchester United, and his passing is naturally to create opportunities for Manchester United.In fact, strictly speaking, the chance of this ball is not particularly good, it is probably only a [-]-[-] chance between Van Persie and Boya, but such an opportunity in the counterattack is definitely worth a try.

The football was placed very well, right in the middle of the goal, and the goalkeeper did not dare to attack. Van Persie and Boya fought fiercely, and the two sides pulled each other, but in the end it was Van Persie who won. The Dutchman successfully took the lead in the fight.Boya didn't dare to push anymore, because Van Persie was already in a one-handed situation, and now he stretched out his hand and it was a red card. The game had only been played for 20 minutes, and a red card was equivalent to disarming in advance.

"Single-handed, Van Persie is single-handedly, Boya is still chasing, a perfect opportunity, let's see if there is any. Van Persie's speed is very fast..."

Howard made the right decision. He chose to attack because Van Persie was behind Boya. In this case, as long as his attack could put pressure on the Dutchman, Boya would have a chance to destroy it.Similarly, as long as Boya can catch up and interfere with Van Persie, he will have a greater chance of blocking the ball.

There is no problem with Howard's choice, but everything in the world is always changing.Rooney, who was entangled by Hibbert before, suddenly stopped suddenly, and Hibbert was just one beat away, and then was dumped when Rooney accelerated suddenly.It wasn't until this time that Tony Hibbert didn't defend Rooney himself, but he deliberately refused to let himself support the middle in order to cope with Van Persie.

"Van Persie's pass, Rooney, onside, hit the goal, the ball goes in, beautiful, the ball goes in.

1: 0.

In the 21st minute, Rooney scored Manchester United's first Premier League goal in the 2012-2013 season. It was his risky partner Van Persie who assisted him. Before that, it was Lin Yi who chased the 30-meter steal and then sent a long pass in the backcourt.From stealing the ball to the final goal, this ball fully demonstrated the characteristics and power of Manchester United's new trident. It can be said that this is a typical Lin Yi-style fast break. Congratulations to Manchester United. "

Rooney was very excited after scoring. He ran to Van Persie who was equally excited. After the two embraced passionately, they ran to the away stands to interact with the boiling Manchester United fans.

Rooney, once the pride of Goodison Park Stadium, is now celebrating so much after breaking Everton's goal. Although he has been away for many years, Everton fans still can't accept it, and there are boos in the stands.

Scored the leading goal, and it was the first goal of the season. Except for goalkeeper De Gea and Lin Yi, all Manchester United players ran to Rooney.

"The camera shot was given to Ji Dong, who contributed a lot to this goal, but he did not participate in the celebration. Even Wayne Rooney waved Ji Dong and shook his head and declined. It seems that he still has deep feelings for Everton. Winning the game with all his strength is a professional spirit, but not celebrating is a personal emotion, which is not contradictory..."

People's emotions are mutual. Lin Yi respected his old club's behavior of not celebrating, which comforted the Everton fans who were depressed because of losing the ball. Looking at the Chinese people's faces without the slightest smile on the big screen, there was applause at the scene.

There was no cheering, no singing, because Lin Yi didn't help Everton score goals, but the applause told Lin Yi that the Everton fans still love him, even if he helps others break the Everton gate.

On Manchester United's bench, Ferguson just got up and cheered excitedly at the moment Rooney scored, and didn't have much celebration.According to the situation on the court, the goal will come sooner or later. He is more concerned about the chemical reaction between the tridents. Now it seems that the effect is very good, especially Lin Yi. The back defense and chasing the ball just now is the ability that Lin Yi inadvertently displayed.

The game restarted, and Everton strengthened the fighting and pressing of the midfield. Although they knew that they were not the opponent of Manchester United's powerful midfielder, Everton's goal was not to compete and control, but to disrupt the midfield.

However, Everton once again tasted the difficulties encountered by their opponents last season.

Taking the lead with a goal in hand, Lin Yi controlled Manchester United's midfield. He didn't attack at first, but intentionally played in the midfield.There were more crosses and back passes, and several forward passes to Rooney and Van Persie were weak. Lin Yi consciously made his teammates shrink back.

The Everton players finally realized the essence of playing last season. After taking the lead, if the opponent adopts a pressing tactic, Lin Yi will choose to control the ball in the backcourt. If he wants the ball, he must invest heavily in the frontcourt.

It's hooliganism, but that's what Everton did last season, so there's nothing to complain about now.

It is Everton behind, so this kind of dismissal is not good for Everton, not to mention Everton is at home.With a wave of Moyes' big hand, the home team had no choice but to rush forward.

What we want is this result. When Everton's midfielder came to Manchester United's backcourt to grab the ball, Manchester United's powerful offensive group began to show off again.

In the 35th minute, Scholes intercepted Donovan's pass to Fellaini with a fierce tackle in the midfielder. Nani saved the ball just before the football rolled off the field.

Nani's cross was too powerful, but Vidic from the back beat Tony Hibbert to grab the point, and then the football flew to the middle, and then was hit by the head of Ji Dong who jumped up a step higher than the others.

The distance was too close, and Howard instinctively wanted to bend down after watching the football bounce off the ground, but before his body could react, the football had already entered.

"Header, beautiful! Ji Dong, Ji Dong made a contribution, Ji Dong jumped really high, there is no possibility of saving such a short distance without Howard opening the plug-in.

2: 0.

In the 35th minute, Everton made a man-marking error in the penalty area. Lin Yi received Vidic's header and bounced off the ball. This was Lin Yi's first league goal this season.

We saw that even though he scored the goal, Ji Dong still didn't celebrate, and he just walked back to his half silently. "

Before the end of the first half, Everton conceded two goals. This rarely happened in Everton last season. This also proves from the side that Everton's combat power has dropped a lot this season. The appearance of several main players took away their energy.Ji Dong couldn't help worrying about them. The Champions League group stage will start next month. Everton will definitely devote their greatest enthusiasm to it, which may be a great crisis for the Premier League.

Forget it, if he is not in his position, he will not seek his own affairs. Now Ji Dong is a member of Manchester United. It would be disrespectful if he continues to intervene in Everton.

In the last 10 minutes of the first half, Everton still did not improve much. In terms of offense, Fellaini and the retreating Donovan failed to play well. Their problem was that no one could pass the threatening ball.

In the locker room, the atmosphere in the Manchester United team was good. Lin Yi was enjoying the calf massage from the physiotherapist while kneading sunflower seeds.Perhaps it was because Ferguson was in a good mood with a 2-goal lead. He didn't turn on the hair dryer, but simply explained that in the second half, the impact from the sideways should be more determined. In addition, he asked Lin Yi to strengthen his physical confrontation and completely defeated Everton's midfielder, and then he left the locker room.

After coming to Manchester United for more than a month, Lin Yi hadn't seen what a real hair dryer looks like. To be honest, Lin Yi was looking forward to it, but on the other hand, he didn't want the hair dryer to blow on him.

In the second half, Everton took the lead in making substitutions, with Ross Barkley replacing Naismith.After the start, Everton gave it a go without retreating, and they adopted a full-court pressing tactic.

However, Manchester United showed their real horror, not because of their advanced tactics, nor how lucky they are, but because they have world-class players in every position, and Everton's players in every position do not have an advantage.

In the 70th minute, Lin Yi confronted Fellaini in the midfield. Fellaini, who was tall and tall, was knocked to the ground by Lin Yi. Since this is the Premier League that encourages confrontation, the referee did not call a foul but signaled the game to continue.After stabilizing his figure, Lin Yi took off quickly with the ball, this time in the middle.

How terrible it is to let Ji Dong take off, no one knows better than Everton players, there is no solution.So if you want to stop Ji Dong, you can only foul or sabotage him in the early stages of his activation.

However, everyone was deceived by Ji Dong this time. It was just a smoke bomb if he wanted to accelerate, like a fake move.When all the Everton players aimed at themselves in the middle, Ji Dong suddenly made a diagonal pass close to the ground.

The football bypassed Gibson's toes, escaped Boya's sliding tackle, and was caught by the high-speed running Van Persie. The Dutchman held the ball very comfortably, and he even moved the football to the middle without extra stopping movements.

Distin, who ran over from 5 meters away, was the only one who could interfere with Van Persie's shot. However, Van Persie's fake action tricked Distin into sliding tackle. At this time, the Dutch only had Howard and the goal in front of them.

Howard has done his best, but it is a pity that Van Persie left the American veteran behind with two spikes, and then the Dutchman brought the football into the goal.

"3:0, this goal is the first goal of Van Persie this season, and it is also the first assist of Lin Yi this season. So far, one of the Manchester United tridents has scored a goal in this game. This is a perfect start.

Van Persie's goal completely killed the game, the remaining 20 minutes I don't think Everton can come back, because they can't find a way at this time.Compared with last season, Everton's performance on both offense and defense has dropped a notch. "

After the goal, Van Persie was very excited. Trident had already scored two goals. If he didn't score, it would be fine.

Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Ferguson began to make substitutions.In the 72nd minute, Pea Hernandez replaced Rooney.

In the 77th minute, when Shinji Kagawa replaced Lin Yi, all the fans gave a standing ovation.Ji Dong's one pass and one shot completely conquered Manchester United fans, and his personality charm also made Everton fans always remember that he was once the hero of this city, and will be the pride of this stadium in the future, even though he no longer belongs to Everton.

In the 82nd minute, Carrick replaced Scholes.

The Manchester United midfielder who had just completed the substitution was not smooth. In the 84th minute, after Shinji Kagawa lost the ball in the midfield, Everton launched a quick counterattack. Ross Barkley dribbled the ball for 40 meters and then made a cross. Jelavic's volley in the penalty area was saved by De Gea, and the football flew towards Ross Barkley who was running towards the center.Barkley tricked Ferdinand with a fake move and then flashed a low shot from an angle.

3: 1.

After Everton pulled back a goal, the momentum was great, but unfortunately it was too late.

"At the end of the game, Manchester United beat Everton 3:1 in the away game with the outstanding performance of the trident. They have made a good start for the new season. In addition, the home team Everton should think about the goals of this season. Judging from today's performance, their strength has dropped a lot compared to last season.

Lin Yi had one goal and one assist in this game. He performed very well on both ends of the offense and defense. I think there should be no problem with being the best player in this game.

Since this is supposed to be the last game, let's take a look at the situation in the standings.

The first place is Swansea and Fulham, both teams have won 5:0, the third place is West Bromwich Albion who beat Liverpool, they have three goal difference, Manchester United ranks fourth, Chelsea, Manchester City and Newcastle rank five to seven.

Of course, the rankings in the first three rounds are of little reference value. I believe that the rankings of the championship teams will be reflected in the standings in a few more rounds.

On the scorer list, Swansea's Michu, Dale and Fulham's Petritsch each scored 2 goals and ranked first, and the rest of the scorers tied for fourth..."
