Chapter 105 Beating Everton

In the quarter-finals of the League Cup, Manchester City's opponent is Tottenham.

Mourinho played a semi-main lineup and played a good game at White Hart Lane.

The veterans were able to make an appearance and play their remaining heat.

In 19 minutes, Keane made a successful tackle in the middle, and then passed the through ball to Sheringham in front.

Although Sheringham's attributes were reduced by half, he led the ball into the penalty area and pushed the shot to rewrite the score to 0:1!

It's a pity that after 3 minutes, Sheringham sprained his ankle and had to leave the field early.

However, Poyet, who came up, also played a role.

In the 39th minute, Poyet counterattacked with a long pass from the backcourt. Quaresma caught the ball and quickly broke through.

The role of the veteran is still good.

Although Gascoigne has mostly appeared in cup games this season, he is still in good form, faintly looking like he was at his peak.

In the second half, Tottenham pulled a goal back from veteran Ferdinand as soon as the game started.

But in the 70th minute, Gascoigne assisted Quaresma again. The latter lobbed a goal in the penalty area and finally locked the score at 1:3. Manchester City advanced to the top 8.

The opponent in the next round is Middlesbrough. Obviously, Manchester City has a high chance of advancing to the semi-finals, unless they voluntarily give up the League Cup.

In the 15th round of the league, Manchester City faced Everton away.

Jia Yi also came to Goodison Park to watch the game. He hadn’t watched a game for a few months, but Jia Yi was still a little interested. Moyes’ team is still good.

However, they were a bit unlucky this season. In the first 14 rounds, they actually lost 8 games.

This also led to their ranking, just one place above the relegation zone.

Everton has a defensive lineup, with only one teenager Rooney in front.

This makes it clear that it is necessary to fight for 1 point at home, which also makes it rare for Manchester City to play hard this season, similar to Chelsea's game.

Facing the powerful Manchester City, Moyes is actively showing weakness.

However, after the game started, Manchester City's offense encountered a lot of resistance.

Relying on the number of midfielders, their fighting is very intense and their movements are also great.

This made Manchester City's players a little bit cautious, and their movements became a little slow.

After all, now that they have already played their worth, of course they are unwilling to fight like Everton players. If they are injured, it is easy to waste all previous efforts.

Although Mourinho kept yelling on the sidelines, the performance of the players still did not improve.

Only the defensive end is normal.

The game has become extremely boring.

But after 80 minutes of defense, the Everton players suddenly wanted to win.

This is obviously a bit over the top.

In the 82nd minute, Li Tie went up to attack and the ball was intercepted by Lampard. After Kaka broke through from the ribs, he went straight.

Goodison Park suddenly became silent!

Li Tie was also dumbfounded, this time he rashly pushed forward and brought disaster to his team.

In fact, Li Tie played well this season and has successfully won the trust of Moyes.

The main role is to be more active in defense, with outstanding running ability and good steals.

In terms of offense, Li Tie still has no way to compare with those top midfielders.

This time he was obviously a bit on the top, and felt that there was a chance ahead. If he scored the ball earlier, he might still have a chance to hit a shot.

But he actually played a breakthrough with Lampard, isn't this courting death?
Moyes was also scratching his head. Before, he was acting according to the script he designed, and he was about to get 1 point, but now the situation suddenly changed.

It seems that this 1 point is not easy to get.

On the other side, Mourinho was naturally ecstatic. He didn't score until 80 minutes into the game, which is enough to prove that Everton's defense is very good.

Jia Yi also sighed in the stands that Li Tie is really unlucky. If he continues to hold on to the current situation steadily, his status in Everton will definitely be higher. As long as he is healthy, he can play for a few seasons later. The main force should not be a problem.

However, this kind of mistake is definitely a deduction item. Chinese players are not easy to be accepted by Europeans. Once such a mistake occurs, it is likely to ruin the previous efforts.

In the last time, Everton pressed out to attack, but Manchester City counterattacked and scored consecutively.

In the 86th minute, Rooney took the ball and forced Ferreira, but was stabbed by Carvalho who was assisting the defense. Carvalho then drove to the frontcourt with a big foot. .

Li Tie was helpless, put a shovel behind his back, and put Kaka down in the penalty area.

The referee not only awarded a penalty, but also gave Li Tie a red card. His game was really bad.

He performed very well in the front, but made continuous mistakes at the last moment. This is completely immature.

Li Tie left the field in pain, and the Everton fans at the scene still gave tolerant applause, but this will also make Li Tie even more sad.

Another Chinese player, Li Datou, came over to comfort him, but now the team is in a difficult situation, and all players are under great pressure. It is said that Moyes is already preparing to strengthen the lineup during the winter break. There will be a sense of urgency.

Kaka made the penalty kick himself, 0:2!

Everton is also at the end of the day. There is no doubt that facing the defending champion's two-goal lead, they have no ability to comeback.

In the end, they lost 0:2 to Manchester City at home and have slipped into the relegation zone.

At the press conference after the game, Moyes expressed regret for Li Tie's mistake, but also defended his Chinese disciples.

"It wasn't his fault, he was a man who wanted to win, it was a sign of a fight, but unfortunately the opponent played better and the result didn't go as we wanted.

Before that, his performance in the midfield almost made the opponent's world-class midfielder misfire.

The team lost, we need to make changes, the league still has a long way to go, we want to get out of the predicament as soon as possible. "

Mourinho also agreed with Moyes' words: "Yes, that Chinese midfielder has brought us great pressure. Like Sun, he is an outstanding representative of Chinese football.

In the end we still won the ball. The process of the game was far more difficult than the score seemed.

The opponent's striker has a lot of potential, it's a good player. "

Mourinho praised Rooney by the way, obviously he also admires Rooney, and hopes to introduce him in the future.

As the head coach of a strong team, this kind of words must be attractive to Rooney, and as long as the money is in place, there should be no problem.

Of course, other strong teams must also be eyeing Rooney, such as Manchester United. At that time, the competition between the Manchester duo may be interesting.

For Everton, this is a sad thing.

The team's record is not good, and the players are still being targeted by others. This is to make Everton sink.

15轮过后，曼城15连胜积45分继续强势领跑，曼联11胜2平2负只有35分，已经落后曼城10分之多，排在第二，阿森纳9胜5平1负积32分，排在第三。
