The king of green grass lore

Chapter 16 Against Everton

Although the league likes to mention the big four, it only gives one potential point and four points.

Given the importance of the competition, Lin Xiu didn't feel disappointed, and continued to train hard.

On September 9, the seventh round of the league began, and Vojvodina sat at home to face the challenge of Smederevo.

Lin Xiu started again.

Obviously, Smederevo was intimidated by Lin Xiu's super attack power, and the players paid a lot of attention to him during the game.

The result was that he missed the other, and was poured three in the first half. Although Smederevo started to counterattack in the second half and successfully scored a goal, he still couldn't hide his disappointment.

Lin Xiuquan only had a restraining effect, no assists, no goals, and no mistakes.

If you didn't study the game carefully, you might think that Lin Xiu was diving.

"So, you can't focus too much on Lin?" Moyes thought, scratching his head.

Vojvo is really not worth mentioning, if there is no Lin Xiu.

"It's crazy, isn't it the UEFA Cup? Could it be that the 400 million signing fee and maximum salary I gave can't compare with the income of a UEFA Cup champion? Besides, it may not be possible to win the UEFA Cup!" Moyes couldn't help thinking .

No matter how you think about it, the game still needs to continue to be studied.

But in every game where Lin Xiu played, Moyes and his assistants watched it carefully five or six times, almost studying each scene.

After reading it and discussing it for a long time, Moyes asked: "The conclusion is, we must hold on to the time when he exploded?"

"Yes, the question is how do we keep it?"

"Yeah, how to keep it!" Moyes muttered to himself.

Not only Moyes is thinking of a way, but the British media is also thinking of a way.

Among them, Gary Lineker, who was the top scorer in the 1986 World Cup and once played for Everton, was the most active.

"There is no doubt that Lin's performance is phenomenal, and it is also the biggest obstacle for Everton to enter the next round. As long as his performance is restricted, Vojvodina is not worth mentioning..."

under?

Gone.

Of course, Lineker cannot be blamed. After all, he has retired a long time ago and is now a football commentator, only responsible for finding problems and not solving them.

It's the same with other media, including Serbian media.

The European War is not only the achievement and honor of the club, but also the achievement and honor of the country. Even for the Serbs, winning on the football field is equivalent to retaliation for the previous NATO bombing.

The advice given by the Cypriot media is simple: make good use of Lin Xiu.

Really constructive nonsense.

Because there were a lot of outside reporters, Burzic decisively conducted closed training to prevent the players from being disturbed.

However, the players cannot get rid of reporters when they go out for training in the morning and go home in the afternoon.

For example, Despotovic, the car was blocked just as it was about to turn into the yard.

"Please, man, if you can't interview Lin, don't block me." Despotovich begged for mercy.

Yang Yan said: "We can't find Lin Xiu, and want to ask you where he is."

"He is still practicing at the training base until nine or ten o'clock. As long as his body permits, he always does this. He comes the earliest and leaves the latest." Despotovich replied.

"Then what do you think of him?"

"As the captain, I told him he should work and rest, but it didn't work, maybe that's why he scored four goals.

I appreciate his diligence, but I will never learn from him because it is too easy to get injured.

Alright buddy, I answered the question, let me go. ’ pleaded Despotovic.

After getting the answer, Yang Yan got out of the way contentedly and went to the training base.

Of course you can't get in, you can only wait outside.

Waiting with him were more than 20 reporters, including a dozen or so domestic reporters.

In a foreign country, with the same purpose, we chatted naturally.

"It never occurred to me that Chinese players could become the top scorer in the UEFA Cup."

"Yeah, it's too arrogant."

"The most depressing must be Pavlyuchenko, who scored a hat-trick in 9 minutes without even breaking a wave."

Roman Pavlyuchenko scored a hat-trick in 19 minutes against Spartak Moscow in the first leg against Sweden.

Normally this performance would be widely reported, but at the wrong time, I met Lin Xiu's 10-minute big four.

Hegen is much worse than Everton, and his 9-10-minute hat-trick is also much worse than the [-]-minute senior. Pavlyuchenko can only be dim.

The reporters waited while chatting, and did not see Lin Xiu come out until after ten o'clock.

"Where are people?" The reporters couldn't help asking.

People have washed and slept.

As the current champion of Vojvodina, Lin Xiu has encountered the most siege and interception, which has seriously affected his daily training and life. For this reason, Lin Xiu applied for a dormitory, and his board and lodging are all in the training base.

Don't come out at all, let's see how you block it!
On October 10, the Everton team arrived in Vojvodina. Numerous local fans rushed to the airport and drove behind them all the way, regardless of the principle of safe driving.

Fortunately, the lessons learned from the guerrillas are not far away, but no one has committed dangerous acts.

The reporters chased and blocked him and failed to catch an interview opportunity, so it doesn't matter, just follow him into the hotel.

The hotel was also surrounded by Vojvodina fans, singing and cursing for a while, and exerting influence on the opponent in this way.

The local police were deployed to maintain order, and the loudspeakers on the street did not stop for a moment, playing a passage in a loop: "We are ahead, we have Lin, think about the end of the guerrillas, and don't act excessively."

Facts have proved that shouting is very effective. In the middle of the night, the fans dispersed one after another. However, the police did not turn off the loudspeaker in order to prevent raids by extreme fans.

Shameless, Moyes is so angry, and what's even more angry is that there is no way to sue.

Others play warnings in a loop to ensure your safety. Even if the volume is louder, it is for safety. There is nothing to blame.

As a result, Everton tossed and turned to the sound of "We have Lin" on the radio, and the next day's training was listless.

"It's so shameless, can you turn off the horn at night?" Moyes took the initiative to find the media to protest.

Now that you're here, we're welcome.

The reporters asked questions regardless of the horn or not.

"Have you thought of a way to deal with Lin?"

"Are you confident to complete the reversal?"

……

Moyes' indictment went nowhere.

The reporters are not in a hurry if they don't get an answer. The pre-match press conference always has to answer questions.

At the press conference, Moyes first expressed his confidence: "4:5 is not desperate, we will complete the reversal and advance to the next round."

Reporters don't like to hear about these false claims.

Not disappointing the reporters, Moyes quickly launched a psychological warfare: "I don't understand why Lin is so good and why he chooses to stay in Vojvodina, which will delay his growth.

He should have joined Everton, after two years he should have joined Manchester United, the best of his career..."

Burzic dismantled the stage on the spot: "Lin has already signed the contract. I have had an in-depth discussion with him. It is indeed impossible for a genius like him to stay in Selcha for a long time, but even if he joins Everton, it will be next summer."

"No, every year is precious for young players..."

"Everton will not have a UEFA Cup..."

The two sides were at each other's throats, arguing around Lin Xiu without giving an inch, without talking about technical and tactical issues at all.
