Chapter 465
Chapter 45 is desperately stable

"This is really an atypical Li Qingshan-style goal. There is no domineering header goal, and there is no domineering use of a strong body to overwhelm the defender to force a turn and volley. He used a feint and immediately connected a The shot with the left foot, although the power of the shot is not as strong as his right foot shot, but the arc of the shot with the left foot can just bypass Howard's palm." Andy Gray said with emotion in the commentary .

"Then again, Li Qingshan's goal distribution is becoming more and more even. Just two years ago, more than 90.00% of his goals were header goals, but this season, although he scored header goals The number of goals is not a lot, but at the same time, the number of times he scored with his feet has also increased significantly."

"His growth rate is indeed quite fast!" Gary Neville also said with emotion.

At this time, the camera of the TV broadcast locked Lukaku on the court.

The confrontation between two No. [-]s, the media will always be keen to hype such things.

In fact, many media called this game a duel between two "Warcraft".

Lukaku, nicknamed "Little Warcraft", was considered the successor of Warcraft Drogba when he joined Chelsea.

And Chelsea coach Mourinho once said in an interview: "Among the current young players, the player who is closest to Drogba is Li Qingshan." people".

However, Li Qingshan himself resolutely rejected this nickname when he was interviewed. He is Li Qingshan, and he will never be anyone's successor.

But there are still many people who regard him as the second Didier Drogba, who also has excellent physical fitness and is also a powerful center forward.

The media always likes to forcibly associate various things to attract readers.

Therefore, the duel between Li Qingshan and Lukaku has also become the focus of the media.

Now that Li Qingshan advanced by one goal, the attention of the media immediately focused on Lukaku. The TV broadcaster is also the media, so naturally they are very clear about the psychology of the media.

However, the picture of the two No. [-]'s peak confrontation did not appear, which disappointed many media.

Because after Manchester United scored, Everton never found the state at the beginning of the game.They have no way to pose a threat to Manchester United's penalty area. In this way, Lukaku, as a center, will not get much possession of the ball.

In fact, Lukaku didn't even have many chances to touch the ball.

If you look at the ball possession rate, the game time has come to No. 20 minutes at this time, Manchester United's ball possession rate is 50.00%40.00, and Everton's ball possession rate is [-]%[-].

Although Manchester United has the upper hand in terms of ball possession rate, it seems that the advantage it occupies is not too great from the data point of view. Everton is not as strong as Manchester United in terms of strength, and it is understandable that Manchester United has more ball possession rate.

But fans who are watching this game will know that the data is far from showing the real situation of the game.

Most of Everton's ball possession is in the 30-meter area of ​​​​the side, and the goalkeeper and the defender pass the ball to each other.Manchester United's possession is active possession in the attacking third of the frontcourt.

One is the possession rate obtained by passive inversion in the backcourt, and the other is the possession rate obtained by active attack in the frontcourt.Judging from the scene, Manchester United is undoubtedly in complete control of the situation.

Everton is not passive and wants to delay time and fall in the backcourt. They are now a backward side and they desperately need to attack.

But what made Everton's players feel uncomfortable was that they couldn't find the way to pass the ball forward.

Manchester United's frontcourt pressing is very active and obviously organized.Starting from Li Qingshan, to Mata, Di Maria, and Herrera, Fellaini, Kramer behind them, plus two Sandro and Valencia who pressed to the two wings of the midfield, these eight players The players organized each other into a net that locked all Everton's forward passing lines in the midfield, making Everton a little breathless.

Ancelotti looked at Giggs with some pride.

If it was another team, he really wouldn't dare to press so boldly.

He just saw that in Everton's lineup, there are no players in the midfield who can have a good ability to control the ball, protect the ball and get rid of it, so he dared to do this.

Everton's two defensive midfielders are veterans Barry and James McCarthy.James is a pure defensive player when Martinez puts him in the midfielder position.

The veteran Barry is actually a defensive player, just because he has rich experience in the game, and this veteran can also do well in terms of awareness and rhythm control.But if you want to expect him to take the ball, protect the ball, and then get rid of the defensive pressure to move forward, this is a bit embarrassing for the 34-year-old player.

And the three forwards in the frontcourt, Naismith, Barkley, and Lennon, are even more hopeless.

At this time, another shortcoming of Lukaku was exposed.

That is, his technique of holding the ball with his back is still rough, and he cannot return to the midfield to provide any help at this time.

If it was Li Qingshan, he could return to the midfield and protect the ball at his feet.But Lukaku couldn't. In fact, he was trying hard to do this, but when the ball passed to his feet, Lukaku quickly lost the ball again.

If you want to be unable to attack and attack, then it is not surprising to lose the ball here.

No. 308 minutes, Mata passed the ball to Valencia, who came forward to assist. Valencia took the ball and I went forward. When the football is about to pass the bottom line, throw the ball into the penalty area.

Crossing has always been Valencia's weakness. Even Li Qingshan can only watch the football fly over his head, helpless.

Valencia's pass went to the other side and Sandro took it down.Manchester United's two full-backs played a two-to-ten match.
After Sandro stopped the ball, Everton right back Coleman has come in front of him. Sandro's cross is good, but now Coleman has blocked the line of his cross.Everyone knows where Li Qingshan's biggest threat is. When facing Manchester United, defense against crosses is the most important thing. I would rather let Li Qingshan play for others, and try not to let him directly head the ball in the penalty area. Attacking the goal, this is the consensus of the Premier League team.

Sandro dribbles the ball out before handing it to Di Maria.

After Di Maria took the ball, Li Qingshan also took a few steps to the outside, ready to rush into the penalty area to grab a header at any time!

After Di Maria took the ball, he led it to his right, and it seemed that he was going to pass directly.

Everton players do not doubt him, after all, Manchester United have tried this routine many times in this game.Central defender Jagelka and Stones followed Li Qingshan closely, focusing on preventing Li Qingshan from getting a header.And Barry and James McCarthy, as well as Naismith and Lennon who retreated back, stopped the area around the arc of the penalty area, ready to grab a second penalty at any time.

It's also the norm to defend a team with a high ball advantage.Don't try to grab a point. The task of Stones and Jagelka is to block the route of Li Qingshan's header. As for Li Qingshan passing the ball, let him pass it.This is the helpless approach of many teams after confronting Li Qingshan.

However, Everton focused too much on Li Qingshan this time.

Relatively speaking, Di Maria was under much less defensive pressure.Di Maria didn't pass it up, but suddenly swiped the ball inside.Cut inside and go to the middle.

At this time, Everton's defensive players were shocked, but it was too late to come up to make amends.

After Di Maria cut inside, he kicked and shot directly!
From the perspective of goalkeeper Howard, since Everton's penalty area is densely packed with people, when he sees the ball bypassing the defender and appearing in front of his eyes, the distance from the goal is already quite close.

Fortunately, the speed of Di Maria's right-footed shot is not too fast.Howard reacted very quickly. He slammed to the left and flicked the ball out with his right hand, and the football was thrown by him.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a red figure rushing up.

It's the right back Valencia who hasn't returned after the cross just now! !

Facing the football flying towards him, Valencia didn't even look at the goal, and just volleyed it!
Howard turned to look, only to see the football hit the net behind him.
Two to zero! !

"Oh oh oh!! Beautiful!! Valencia volleys!!"

"The goal is scored!! Manchester United's stable state is desperate, and now even the right back Valencia has scored!!!"

"It can only be said that Everton put too much focus on Li Qingshan's defense, but if they don't do this, what can they do? Either let Li Qingshan score, or let other Manchester United players score goals, such a multiple choice question It's really painful."

Valencia was very excited after scoring the goal.

Since Rooney has been on the bench for a long time and Carrick has no market opportunities, Valencia can be described as the de facto Manchester United captain this season-most of the time, the captain's armband is on his arm.

Although his current position is left back, in fact, Valencia was a winger before.He even once wore Manchester United's No. [-] jersey, but later he felt too much pressure and gave up the No. [-] number.
In the past two years, Valencia has played from the right winger to the right back. With his strong body and good speed, he also played another spring of his career at the right back position-he put The other real right backs are all on the bench
Manchester United's players celebrate a goal while Everton manager Martinez rubs his head.

This is really a headache.

If Li Qingshan is removed, in fact Manchester United's lineup does not have much advantage compared to Chelsea and Manchester City in the Premier League, but with Li Qingshan's existence, the combination of Manchester United's lineup makes it difficult to break their balance.

In terms of defense, the solid line of defense brought by the three midfielders has allowed Manchester United to concede very few goals this season.As for offense, relying on Li Qingshan's strong deterrence in the frontcourt, both Di Maria and Mata can get a lot of room to play.This makes it very difficult for other teams to defend.

Until the end of the first half, Martinez's brows could not be stretched.

During the intermission, Manchester United's locker room was naturally relaxed, and Ancelotti didn't stay in the locker room for a while before walking out.

Ashley Young, who is in charge of the music in the locker room, turned up the sound to the loudest, and even a small player like Rashford was already dancing awkwardly.

Football is like this, victory can cover up all problems.

Ancelotti also did not adjust the team's tactics. The winning team will not change. Since everything is running normally, the most appropriate and smart choice is not to make changes for the time being.

On the other side, even if Martinez scratched his head, he couldn't think of any good way to reverse the situation.He can only start by boosting the morale of the team.

It is difficult to find any new ways to restrain Manchester United tactically, so we can only give full play to people's subjective initiative.Although it seems idealistic, this is the only thing Martinez can do.

In their current form, Everton will have to give it a go in the second half if they want to make a difference.

So Martinez found Lukaku, and he decided to tighten the clockwork for Lukaku. When he needs to attack, the only player Martinez can count on is Lukaku.

"Romelu, you have to perform better in the second half!" Martinez said. "In the second half, we need to score goals! You need to have a wider range of activities."

If you rate the players in the first half, Lukaku's score will never be too high-because he touched the ball too little in the first half, there were 22 players on the field, except for Manchester United's goalkeeper De Gea , It is estimated that Lukaku has the least number of touches.

But Martinez also knows that this is not Lukaku's problem. Everton has no way to pass the ball to the frontcourt, and it is too difficult for Lukaku to fight for the ball. Lukaku is not Li Qingshan, the kung fu on his head is really not flattering
"In the second half of the game, I will be more active!" Lukaku was also encouraging himself.

Martinez nodded. It's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice. The strongest lineup he has now is on the field. If they can't do anything, then this game will be like this for Everton.

In the second half of the game, Everton did make Manchester United's defense a little confused by opening a fierce attack at the beginning of the game.But soon, Manchester United regained stability.

In No. 60 minutes, Mata's goal completely helped Manchester United seal the victory.

The final score of this game was [-] to [-]. After all, Lukaku broke through the goal of De Gea's handle through a counterattack and scored a face-saving goal.
