The strongest waist king of the Red Devils

Chapter 59 Everton

After a day of relaxation, Sun Qi re-entered the intense training to prepare for the next league game, which is also a key game for Manchester United to directly win the championship.

With four rounds left in the league, Manchester United are already eight points ahead of Chelsea.

If, in the next game, Manchester United can take all three points and Chelsea does not win, then Manchester United will win the Premier League title this season.

Of course, if Chelsea wins, then the suspense will continue if Manchester United wants to win the championship.

As for Sun Qi, head coach Ferguson has made it clear through his outstanding performance in these few games and his significant contributions to the team that he will really win the championship by then. Sun Qi also applied for a championship medal.

Regarding this, Sun Qi was full of motivation.

……

A few days later, the 36th round of the Premier League kicked off. Manchester United was a guest at Goodison Park to compete with Everton.

Because of the last UEFA Champions League semi-final, many Manchester United players fought very hard, and next week they will go to Italy to play the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final with AC Milan. Ferguson adjusted the starting lineup to give players more opportunities to rest.

In the goalkeeper position, Van der Sar is still the starter.

The horrible defensive position, Wes Brown and Heinze, continue to partner with the central defender, O'Shea and Evra are separated from the left and right defenders.

In the midfield position, the two core players, Carrick and Scholes, will continue to sit in charge. Rooney and Ryan Giggs will play both sides of the avant-garde position, and Sun Qi will still serve as a substitute.

As for Ronaldo, because he suffered some injuries during training, the head coach Ferguson still let Ronaldo serve as a substitute for safety reasons.

On the front line, Alan Smith and veteran Solskjaer played together.

As for Everton, the goalkeeper is Turner.

The back line is Lescott, Stubbs, Hibbert and Yabo.

In the midfield position, there is former Manchester United player Phil Neville, and Arteta, Carsley, Osman and Fernandez.

The striker is Vaughn.

Against Everton, Manchester United has a greater advantage and has a good historical record.

However, perhaps in the first round of the last UEFA Champions League semi-final, Manchester United played too excitedly and consumed too much, so that in this game, Manchester United did not play very smoothly. In the midfield contest of the Everton team, they began to fall into a disadvantage.

Without Sun Qi, the point of passing and connection, and the presence of a strong sweeping midfielder, Scholes and Carrick's partner, both have good skills, but not enough confrontation. After being challenged by the Everton midfielder Under the crazy siege, the pressure is even greater, and it is not easy to play the ball, let alone send the ball to the frontcourt with high quality, tearing apart Everton's iron barrel defense.

On the other hand, the Everton team launched a frantic attack at the beginning, with the momentum of suppressing Manchester United and defeating Manchester United.

The tactical arrangement of head coach Moyes is really appropriate. It has captured some of Manchester United's weaknesses and allowed Everton to occupy an advantage.

Only 2 minutes into the game, Everton got a corner kick. In the penalty area, Manchester United's defense missed. Kurt was left unguarded.

Seeing this, Arteta, who took the corner kick, naturally did not miss the opportunity. The corner kick that was taken fell precisely near the top of Lescott's head.

Facing this ball, Lescott made a vigorous header, but unfortunately, Lescott's shot this time was slightly higher than the crossbar.

In the 5th minute, Van der Sar took a goal kick. Everton midfielder Carsley grabbed the spot near the center circle and gave the ball to Arteta. Arteta passed it to the striker. Vaughn.

Fortunately, Manchester United's Heinze and Evra double-teamed Vaughan in time, stealing the ball at Vaughan's feet at the front of the penalty area, and resolved this crisis.

In the 12th minute, Everton quickly counterattacked, Evra fouled Osman with the ball, and Everton got a free kick in the frontcourt.

The position of this free kick is still very good, about thirty yards from the goal.

In Everton, Arteta, Stubbs, and Fernandez are all very good free kickers, and they are not a small threat.

This time, the Everton central defender and veteran Stubbs came to take this free kick.

Although Stubbs is a central defender, he is very good at violent free kicks.

When the referee blew the whistle, Stubbs started a run-up, and when he came to the ball, Stubbs swung his legs and volleyed vigorously.

This ball flew towards Manchester United's goal vigorously, but Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar had already made a save.

However, there were many people in the penalty area, and Stubbs's shot, by coincidence, hit Carrick's body and was deflected.

Such a change made Van der Sar's eyes widen in surprise, but because he had already made a saving action, it was too late to turn back, and he could only watch the ball fall into the goal he was guarding.

After the goal, Stubbs, along with his Everton teammates, celebrated wildly.

On the other hand, the Manchester United team is not in a good state. Several players are in a sleepwalking situation, suppressed by Everton, playing a bit chaotically, and finally causing this goal.

In this regard, the Manchester United players were helpless and regretful, but the ball had already been lost.

Everton took the lead at home and with Stubbs' free kick scored, they led Manchester United 1-0.

After taking the lead, the Everton team continued to run wildly, press hard, limit Manchester United's midfield, attack Manchester United's weak defense, continue to occupy the advantage of the midfield, and launch towards Manchester United. slam.

Ferguson, who was off the field, saw the progress of the situation, and couldn't help frowning, chewing gum vigorously.

In the 15th minute, Everton made a comeback. Arteta continued to advance with the ball, but fell to the ground under the defense of Scholes.

Everton once again got a free kick in the frontcourt.

However, this time the free kick was relatively biased, and he was not sure about hitting the goal directly. Arteta chose a long pass to the back of the penalty area.

There, Vaughan got ahead of Evra, leaped high and headed home.

Vaughn's powerful header is powerful, fast, and has a good angle. It looks like it will fly into Manchester United's goal.
