Chapter 272 Everton

At this moment, the Manchester United team has invested in intense training, preparing for the next round of the league in a few days.

Also due to Manchester United's cold treatment, Ronaldo's news incident this time slowly fell silent.

In addition, the scandal between Sun Qi and Rita Ora was also silenced.

On September 9th, at 15:12 noon, the sixth round of the English Premier League, a focus match, started at Goodison Park.

The weather was very hot, and players from both sides had some discomfort.

But with the arrangement of the game like this, they had no choice but to protest.

In this game, Manchester United will play away against Everton.

Against Everton, Manchester United has an absolute advantage.

In the past 25 seasons between the two sides, in a total of [-] confrontations, Manchester United has achieved [-] wins and [-] draws, with only one loss.

Even though the schedule is tight, Manchester United is still relatively relaxed.

In this game, Manchester United formed a 4-3-3 formation.

In the goalkeeper position, Van der Sar continued to start.

At the back line, Rio Ferdinand and Vidic started together, and the partner central defender, Wes Brown, and O'Shea, served as full-backs on both sides.

The midfield trio, Darren Fletcher, replaced the veteran Scholes in this game, and Carrick and Sun Qi formed a midfield partner.

The start time of the game was not good. It was noon and the sun was very dazzling. For Scholes, who has eye problems, it was a great challenge. Ferguson simply let him rest this game.

The current strength of the Manchester United team is sufficient, and it is not a big problem to occasionally let the veteran rest for a game or two.

In the frontcourt, Ronaldo came back and separated from Giggs on both sides. Ivica Olic continued to serve as the striker's single arrow.

On the Everton side, a 4-4-2 defensive formation was formed.

As the goalkeeper position, due to the injury of the American goalkeeper Tim Howard in the international game, the starting player for this game is the German goalkeeper Stephen Wessels, who came on loan from Xia Chuang.

At the back, Nigerian centre-back Joseph Yabo, alongside young Jolyon Lescott, was the starting centre-back.Tony Hibbert and Leighton Bynes sat on both sides.

In the midfield position, Phil Neville and Phil Jagielka are the double midfielder barriers of Everton's midfield. The two are very tough in defense, good in physical strength, and have a wide range of sweeps. Coach David Moyes also hopes that these two can effectively limit Manchester United's powerful midfielder.

At least, it is not possible to allow the opponent to play freely and easily penetrate Everton's midfielder.

In addition, Mikel Arteta, along with Ryan Osman, took charge of the two flanks.

In this arrangement, Mikel Arteta's position is biased towards the middle, which is more equivalent to blocking the midfielder.

As for Ryan Osman, he has a lot of physical strength and a wide range of activities. In addition to supporting the attack line, he also needs to retreat at any time to help Phil Neville and Phil Jagielka strengthen their defense.

On the front line, striker Ayebenny Yakubu from Nigeria played alongside England striker Andrew Johnson.

In this game, Everton's head coach David Moyes did not dare to be careless. He still focused on defense, and used the impact of Eyebenny Yakub and Andrew Johnson to attack Manchester United's defense and look for opportunities to score goals.

This is a tough battle and it's not easy to fight. David Moyes only hopes to keep the tie and win. The most basic thing is not to be scored too many goals or to be beaten.

Looking at Manchester United's starting lineup, David Moyes looked very solemn.

Soon, referee Nigel Miller blew the whistle to start the game.

Manchester United kicked off first.

After Sun Qi received the ball, he led the ball forward by himself.

Seeing Sun Qi dribbling the ball, Andrew Johnson and Eyerbenny Yakubu stepped forward to block it together.

Sun Qi didn't stick the ball either. Before the two rushed over, he passed the ball to Ronaldo who asked for the ball on the right.

Finally back from injury, and with the influence of the party a few days ago, Ronaldo is now eager to prove himself, and naturally hopes to have more ball possessions and show better performances.

After getting the ball, Ronaldo took it forward by himself.

Seeing Mikel Arteta coming to defend, Ronaldo stepped on his bicycle continuously, forcing Mikel Arteta to step back.

Seeing an opportunity, Ronaldo immediately moved the ball forward, ready to ask for the ball to pass, and bypass Mikel Arteta from the side.

However, Mikel Arteta has noticed Ronaldo's intentions this time, and he simply tackled the ball on the ground, intercepted Ronaldo's forward ball, and brought Ronaldo down.

Because Mikel Arteta hit the ball first, Mikel Arteta did not foul this time, and the referee did not say anything.

Mikel Arteta's successful defense this time also won cheers from the home fans, accompanied by waves of boos against Ronaldo.

Everton fans hope to use this method to irritate Ronaldo, make Ronaldo play abnormally, and reduce the threat of Manchester United.

After getting up, Mikel Arteta ignored Ronaldo who fell outside the sideline, and pushed forward with the ball.

Ronaldo sat on the ground and raised his hand in protest, seeing that the referee didn't say anything, he got up reluctantly and quickly chased back.

This once again aroused enthusiastic boos from the home fans.

Because of the boos from the Everton fans, Ronaldo was still a little irritable and wanted to get Mikel Arteta's ball back.

Mikel Arteta took the ball and advanced several steps forward. When Ronaldo was about to chase him back, he directly kicked up and passed the ball to the center.

At the front of the arc of Manchester United's penalty area, Eyebenny Yakub rushed to the horse, received the pass from Mikel Arteta, and volleyed the ball directly.

However, Eye Benny Yakubu failed to suppress the shot this time, and the ball eventually missed the post.

In the 5th minute, Sun Qi cooperated with Carrick in the middle and got rid of the defense of Eyebenny Yakubu.

After that, Sun Qi took the ball forward, took advantage of the change in rhythm, accelerated suddenly, and bypassed Andrew Johnson from the side.

After dribbling the ball past the center line, Sun Qi still controls the ball by himself.

Seeing this, Phil Neville rushed over first.

Seeing that it was Phil Neville, Sun Qi still saved some face and chose to pass the ball diagonally to Ryan Giggs on the left.

Giggs stopped the ball steadily, took advantage of the situation and took the ball, shaking Tony Hibbert a little bit, almost fell on the grass.

When there was an opening, Giggs immediately dribbled the ball to the middle, wading past Tony Hibbert with ease.
