Chapter 612 Keep Your Spirits Up
Chapter 192 Cheer up

Few thought Everton could stop Manchester United from reaching the FA Cup final.

Just like no one guessed that Crystal Palace could reach the FA Cup final.

Although Everton reached the semi-finals in the League Cup and FA Cup this season, their performance in the league has gone from bad to worse.Everton have won just five Premier League home wins at Goodison Park so far this season, much to the dismay of club executives and Toffees fans alike.

Martinez's coaching position is in jeopardy. Before the start of the FA Cup semi-finals, there was news that if he lost this game, Martinez would be dismissed.

This is a battle to defend Martinez's handsome position.

The head coach is hard to guarantee;
The team is not in good shape;
Player morale is low;

Even the fans have put up signs reading "Martinez out of class" at Goodison Park.

All these failure factors are all shrouded in Everton. It is no wonder that almost no media in England are optimistic that Everton can finally eliminate Manchester United and reach the FA Cup final.

But for Martinez, this semi-final is undoubtedly the only chance to save his job.

As long as they can win Manchester United and face Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium, Everton has a high probability of winning-after all, their team is worth much more than Crystal Palace.

Everton is now [-] points above the relegation zone, and [-] points away from the top seven in the league.

There is no worry about relegation, and it is unlikely to go further.

But if you can win the FA Cup, all this will be clear - first of all, you can have a championship trophy this season, and then with the FA Cup championship, Everton can also get to participate in the Europa League next season qualifications.

In this way, this season can be regarded as an explanation to the fans.

Perhaps it was because no one was optimistic before the game that Everton celebrated so wildly when Lukaku smashed the ball into Manchester United's goal in front of the goal.

Lukaku clenched his fist, rushed to the corner flag area and roared in unison with the cheering fans.

His eyes were wide open, and his fists kept waving back and forth.

Everton players also rushed over to celebrate the goal with the fans.

Martinez was relieved, his expression was calm, but his coach's bench and Everton's bench were already in chaos.

It's already two minutes into Game No.80, and the score on the field is one to zero! !
This is a quasi-lore goal! !
"Lukaku hit the goal!!! The ball went in!!!"

"Everton lead Manchester United!!!!"

"Now it's No.80 and two minutes into the game!!! If Everton keep this score, they will knock out Manchester United and reach the FA Cup final!!!"

“I believe this result is beyond the expectations of too many people. Manchester United did not show their dominance this season at Wembley Stadium. They didn't care too much about the FA Cup, anyway, they fell behind and they had about 10 minutes left to equalize."

The commentators were shouting, not just them, almost everyone did not expect that this game would develop like this.

In the first half of the game, the two sides played tepidly. Although Manchester United had an advantage in ball possession, they played tepidly and did not score a goal.

In the second half, Manchester United obviously wanted to strengthen the company, but the mentality of the players did not seem to be fully adjusted. They wanted to get nervous for a while, but found that it was not so easy to do.

There were also many Manchester United fans who came to Wembley Stadium, and they looked at the stadium with a dignified expression.

Winning the championship so many rounds in advance seems to have some disadvantages for Manchester United.

After the excitement of winning the championship, the players seemed to relax a little bit, not as tense as before.

And once the taut strings are relaxed, it is not so easy to get tense again.

The FA Cup is okay, but I am afraid that in the Champions League final, Manchester United will still be in this state, then the problem will be big.

Ancelotti obviously realized this too, he frowned and stood on the sidelines.

It should be said that although the status of the FA Cup in England has been reduced, Ancelotti is unwilling to give up the championship anyway when he has a chance to win the Triple Crown.

10 minutes, in fact, if Manchester United get up, the time is enough.

I hope this conceded goal can wake up Manchester United's players.

Li Qingshan stepped on the ball and waited for the kick-off.

He didn't get much support in this game, and Manchester United's wing attack in this game was not smooth, making it difficult for football to pass into the penalty area through crosses.

Most of the balls Li Qingshan got were through passes from the backcourt, which made it difficult for him to pose a direct threat to the goal.

And Li Qingshan's few chances to shoot were also resolved by the Everton goalkeeper.

There are not many opportunities for the center to get the ball, coupled with the excellent performance of the opponent's goalkeeper, this is also an important reason why Manchester United has not scored a goal in this game so far.

The rest of United's players realized they had to make a difference now.

For professional players, the motivation to fight on the court is nothing more than money or honor.

Some for money, some for fame.

Fame and fortune are often not separated.

Manchester United's wages are among the highest among European clubs. In the Premier League, where wages are generally rising, Manchester United's wages are also second to none.

Everton's head striker Lukaku has just renewed his contract with the team this year, and his salary has also risen to [-] pounds a week.

This salary is actually not low in the Premier League. Tottenham's local king Harry Kane only earns [-] pounds a week.

But this salary level in Manchester United is completely the price of marginal players.

Manchester United youth player Lingard also renewed his contract with the team after returning from loan this season. What is his salary?
Like Lukaku, he also has a weekly salary of [-] pounds! !
Everton's leading striker is paid the same as a Manchester United youth who only gets the chance to start in some unimportant games.

It's no wonder that Manchester United is so attractive-the salary alone is completely higher than other teams.

In terms of money, Manchester United's players are already at the top salary level of European clubs-of course, if they are willing to go to the Super League, their salary can double in minutes.

But for professional players, honor is also indispensable.

After all, Europe is the center of football. Winning the Premier League championship and the Chinese Super League championship, although both are league championships, everyone knows that this is completely incomparable.

Manchester United's players also realize at this moment that if they don't work hard, the dream of the treble will be ruined-this season they will have two trophies left to fight for, the FA Cup and the Champions League.
