Chapter 464 I Don't Need to Bully the Fullbacks

Chapter 44 I don't need to bully the full backs

Everton manager Roberto Martinez sat back in his seat after shaking Ancelotti's hand.

He zipped up his jacket, a confident smile on his face.

But in fact, he was a little apprehensive.

In this game, Manchester United is full of main players. Except for Phil Jones who replaced the injured Rojo at the central defender position, the other positions are the absolute main members of Manchester United this season.

Manchester United's performance in the Premier League this season is too strong, and it is inevitable that Martinez will be a little nervous.

Because in Everton's lineup, Baines and Cleverley missed the game due to injuries, and two absolute main players were missing, which had a great impact on Everton.Fortunately, central defender Stones returned from injury and caught up with the game in time.

Although the media before the game showed the data of the two sides' confrontation, it was used as a reference for this game.Manchester United's record at Goodison Park in the past two years has not been good.Manchester United have lost all of their last three visits to Goodison Park without scoring a goal.

But Martinez knows that these data cannot give him any reference value.Because Manchester United this season is not the same team as Manchester United in the previous two seasons, Ancelotti's Manchester United has built an offensive and defensive system around Li Qingshan, which has allowed them to win eight consecutive Premier League games!
At this time, the players had already lined up on the court, waiting for a group photo before the game.

Martinez saw the black-haired Chinese at a glance.

His foreign trade and figure make him extremely conspicuous among the white and black people.

To be honest, until now, Martinez has not come up with any tricks to deal with Li Qingshan.This is actually normal, the other party has such a personal ability.If you want to defend Li Qingshan, relying on impromptu tricks is even more risky. Only by relying on the power of collective defense can you limit Li Qingshan.

Of course, if he wants to completely guard against the opponent, and let Li Qingshan have no chance at all, Martinez certainly doesn't expect extravagantly.But in terms of defense, relying on the collective to cut off the connection between Li Qingshan and other Manchester United players as much as possible, so that he has fewer chances to get the ball, this is the direction of Everton's efforts.

As long as Li Qingshan has fewer chances to get the ball, naturally Li Qingshan will have fewer chances to shoot throughout the game.In terms of probability, the possibility of Li Qingshan scoring a goal has also become less.

Football is not all a bunch of cold data. The state of the players and the ups and downs on the court will affect the outcome of a game.

Don't give Li Qingshan any chance at all, there should be no team in this world that can play this guarantee.Therefore, Martinez is betting, betting on a probability thing.Li Qingshan has scored goals in eight consecutive Premier League games, and this is the ninth game.Previously, Li Qingshan had an average of 6.8 shot attempts per game, of which 3.3 shots were within the range of the goal frame, and the average number of goals scored per game was 1.8.Li Qingshan's average number of shots per game is also ranked first in the current top five European leagues. Ronaldo, who ranks second, has an average of 6.2 shots per game, and Manchester City striker Aguero, who has an average of 5.1 shots per game, ranks third. Barcelona striker Messi ranks fourth with 4.9 shots per game.

The player's status in the team can also be seen from the number of shots. There is no doubt that Li Qingshan has unlimited shooting rights at Manchester United.

For Martinez, this data is still useful, that is to say, Li Qingshan may score a goal if he takes nearly four shots.This scoring efficiency is also the best in Europe.Li Qingshan shot a lot, but he also scored a lot.

If Everton can successfully reduce the number of times Li Qingshan takes the ball in this game, so that Li Qingshan can reduce the number of times he takes the ball in this game, and reduce the number of shots he takes in Everton's defensive key areas, it is best to let Li Qingshan shoot the number of shots in a game No more than four times. In this way, in terms of probability, Everton's defense is considered a success.

Of course, as well as defending, offense is part of the game.

Facing the powerful Manchester United at home, Martinez also has his ambitions.

Everton's offense will undoubtedly rely on the little monster Lukaku.

Before the game started, in order to encourage Lukaku's fighting spirit, Martinez talked with Lukaku.

What Martinez didn't know was that even without his instigation, Lukaku was full of fighting spirit for the direct dialogue with Li Qingshan in this game.

For Lukaku, Li Qingshan is both an opponent and a target to catch up with.

After all, from the point of view of body shape, Lukaku and Li Qingshan are about the same height, weight and age, and both play the center forward position.

There is no doubt that Lukaku's starting point is higher than that of Li Qingshan. When Li Qingshan was playing in the amateur league, Lukaku was included in the bag by Chelsea under the title of "Drogba's successor", and he was also given a gift by the way. Nicknamed "Little Monster".

At that time, when Li Qingshan entered professional football, his achievements were beyond Lukaku's reach.

Champions League Champion, Champions League Top Scorer, Champions League Best Player, La Liga Champion, La Liga Top Scorer, La Liga Single Season League Goal Record Holder.
Although Lukaku is very confident in his own strength, he will unconsciously be a head shorter in front of Li Qingshan who is staring at so many halos of honor.

This mentality of his own made Lukaku feel very angry.But how to vent this anger, in a match, defeating Li Qingshan head-on is the best chance!

Therefore, Martinez's efforts before the game are destined to be in vain, because Lukaku's fighting spirit has already been burning, so there is no need for Martinez to add this kind of firewood.

During the handshake between players from both sides before the game, Lukaku's heartbeat started to speed up when he got close to Li Qingshan.

This is the opponent he wants to chase and defeat!

After Li Qingshan stretched out his time Hu, Lukaku also stretched out his hand.

"I will beat you!"

While stretching out his hand, Lukaku said with firm eyes.

But the sound at the scene was noisy, and Li Qingshan didn't hear clearly what Lukaku said to him.He had already planned to turn around and leave, but suddenly heard Lukaku say something, so he turned around and asked with some uncertainty: "Huh? What did you say?"

Lukaku's eyes froze.

He had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, and he even simulated and practiced this scene before the game.The speed at which he stretched out his hand, the tone of his voice.He even went so far as to practice repeating the sentence he said.

I will beat you!

In order to be able to express the momentum, he also specifically referred to similar plots in many movie plots, imitating the expressions of the characters in it, the speed of speaking, etc.
In his original idea, this is like the meeting of two lifelong enemies in the movie. What a ritual moment this is.Who would have thought that Li Qingshan's reaction would be this? !

Li Qingshan turned his head with a surprised and puzzled expression, inadvertently destroying Lukaku's pretense.

Lukaku decided to adjust his state and try again, but Phil Jones next to him laughed out loud, making Lukaku fail again.
The referee had already started urging the players on both sides to return to their respective halfs. Lukaku could only stare at Phil Jones, then let go of Li Qingshan's hand, which he had been holding for several seconds, and ran back to his own half.

Li Qingshan curled his lips, turned around and ran towards his own half.

"What did this idiot just say?" Li Qingshan turned to Phil Jones and asked.

"He said he wanted to beat you." Phil Jones shook his head and smiled.

Defeat Li Qingshan?
In the view of Phil Jones, this is simply delusional.As a teammate, he knows Li Qingshan's strength best.

Li Qingshan also laughed, not paying attention to Lukaku's words.

"Oh! What a fierce confrontation!!" The commentator screamed, Lukaku and Phil Jones collided, but the referee's whistle did not sound. He thought it was a reasonable collision.

Lukaku quickly regained his center of gravity and regained control of the ball.Phil Jones did not show weakness, and quickly posted it.

Neither side complained about the referee, and no one sat on the ground raising their hands in protest.

This kind of physical collision is really too common and normal in the Premier League.

Lukaku took the ball with his back, pulled the ball with his right foot, turned around and shot directly, which was confiscated by De Gea.

As soon as the game started, Lukaku completed a shot.

"Little monster Lukaku looks very excited, he has a strong desire to shoot today!"

Although the goal was missed, Lukaku's shot attempt was full of applause from the fans.

After seeing the football confiscated by De Gea, Lukaku didn't hold his head in regret or anything, and he didn't expect such a tentative shot in this game to break through the goal of De Gea's handle.

Everton, who played at home, was very active, but Manchester United did not enter the state at the beginning of the game.

De Gea tossed the ball to Fellaini.

However, the 33-year-old veteran Barry in the Everton team took advantage of the moment when Fellaini stopped the ball slightly, stepped forward and poked the ball away!

Lukaku is Everton's core offensive player, but his style is different from Li Qingshan. Despite his height and body, Lukaku's header is not very good.

Lukaku's range of activities is also larger than that of Li Qingshan. He pulled to the side, stretched out one hand, and leaned on the full-back Sandro.

In terms of physical confrontation, Lukaku may not be able to take advantage of Hummels or Phil Jones, but if he pulls to the wing to bully the full-back, then his advantage will be much greater.

This is also the way Lukaku plays.

Barry passed the ball to Lukaku, facing Sandro's defense, Lukaku used his body and speed to force his opponent.Although Sandro's physical fitness and speed are not too bad for a full-back, Lukaku gave him a physical confrontation and immediately turned to the bottom. Sandro, who was caught off guard, was passed by Lukaku.

After the success, Lukaku passed the ball back to the goal in an inverted triangle. Barkley, who followed up in the middle, was ready to shoot. Fortunately, Hummels stretched out a kick and kicked the ball out the other way. The side touchline was cleared.

"The game has just started less than 5 minutes, but we can all see Lukaku who is quite active. In fact, Lukaku scored seven goals in eight rounds of the Premier League, ranking behind Li Qingshan and Manchester City's Akui. Luo is tied for second in the scorer list. Perhaps it is because Li Qingshan has scored [-] goals in eight rounds, which makes us ignore Lukaku's ability. In fact, he is a top striker in the Premier League. , Manchester United cannot relax their vigilance against this Belgian at all!"

The commentator was full of praise for Lukaku's performance.

Before the game, many media also compared Lukaku and Li Qingshan, but the data gap between double and reverse is too big, and this topic has not been heated up.No one will do multiple choice questions between Lukaku and Li Qingshan—a fool knows how to choose.

Lukaku held his head in regret for a while, and then he took a smug glance at Li Qingshan.

Although Li Qingshan scored more goals than him, Lukaku did not think that Li Qingshan was better than himself in every way.For example, just after Lukakul pulled to the wing and made a threatening pass, Li Qingshan rarely performed like this.

Compared to Lukaku, Li Qingshan prefers to stay in the middle and stay in the opponent's penalty area.

Li Qingshan was really impressed by Lukaku's series of performances just now. At least in his heart, Lukaku is no longer a "passer-by", but an opponent worthy of his attention.

But he didn't take Lukakura to the wing to bully the full-back.

Because Li Qingshan's body is strong enough, he doesn't need to bully the full-backs, because Everton's central defenders can't do anything to him.

Everton's sideline kick came out, but this round of attack quickly failed.Manchester United got the ball back.

Game No. 18 minutes, Manchester United passed the ball all the way from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

Mata gave the ball to Li Qingshan, and Stones followed, not daring to be careless.

Stones didn't want to have any physical confrontation with Li Qingshan, but Li Qingshan didn't do what he wanted and instead took the initiative to lean forward.

When he hit Stones with his back until he didn't react, Li Qingshan took the opportunity to complete his turn and took the ball to face the goal.

Then Li Qingshan made a gesture with his right foot to flick the ball outwards, then kicked the ball to the left with the inside of his right foot, and shot directly with his left foot.

Stones desperately tried to block the ball with his head.But he failed.

The left foot is not Li Qingshan's main foot, so the power of shooting is not as strong as his right foot.But even so, the ball is still very fast.

Everton goalkeeper Howard struggled to his right, but could only watch the football bypass his palm.

Then it went into the goal.
'GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! "

Accompanied by the roar of the commentator, Li Qingshan opened his arms to celebrate the goal.

He glanced at Lukaku, who was a little frustrated.

Boy, I don't need to go to the wing.

Because, I can bully your central defenders.
