Seven Hundred and Eighty-Nine Please Start Your Performance!

How do you say something?

Luck is just an accessory to hard work.

This is even more evident on the football field.

Every goal in a football game has a bit of luck, but behind every bit of luck is countless hard work.

When Leeds United finally crossed the mountain of Manchester United, in the fourth round of the League Cup draw, there was amazing luck, and the weakest player, Alder from the fourth tier League Two, was drawn. Short.

This is not luck what is it?

Manchester City's opponent is the Premier League relegation team Wolves.

According to the British media, this is almost like recommending Leeds to the quarter-finals.

This really made the Yorkshire Post happy for a long time, and the fans of Leeds United were also overjoyed.

But soon, they woke up.

Leeds United CEO Fernando Lucas said in an interview with the media: "We accept any result of the draw. After defeating Manchester United, we no longer fear any opponent!"

Sarri also said that the draw will not make Leeds United blind and careless, it will only make the team more cautious.

And the facts also proved that the game against Manchester United was indeed too fierce.

In the eighth round of the British Championship on the weekend, Leeds United challenged Brighton away, and the two sides played 3-3.

This draw does not affect Leeds United's position as the leader, and even the lead remains at three points, but Brighton is currently ranked sixth in the British Championship. Leeds United scored three goals, and the defensive problem is evident.

...

When Leeds United encountered Brighton's sniper in the away game, Manchester City kicked the iron plate at home.

Everton led by Moyes put up an iron barrel formation at the Etihad Stadium.

Next Wednesday will be the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage. Manchester City has rotated in this game, and Moyes is very aware of this, so he put up a tight-defense iron barrel formation in the game.

This is very rare.

Moyes has never been an extremely conservative head coach, but he even gave up all possession of the ball tonight, huddled in his own half, even outside the penalty area, and faced Manchester City with an iron barrel.

Captain Phil Neville and teenager Rodwell, plus Fellaini, three players form the midfield.

On the front line, Moyes even won the main striker Saha, let Tim Cahill top the front, and the wings were Osman and Coleman.

This kind of targeted conservative tactics has brought huge troubles to Manchester City.

The offense can't find a breakthrough, and the pass can't find a space to penetrate.

The Everton players didn't even want to counterattack, they were focused on defending.

This made Manchester City fall into a melee as soon as they attacked the frontcourt, and the offense was kicked to the iron board again and again.

Gao Shen adopted a 442 formation tonight.

Fernandinho and Yaya Toure played in the middle of the midfield, and Sturridge and Van Persie formed a double striker.

But obviously, this effect is very poor.

In the first half, Manchester City had an overwhelming advantage and created more shots, Everton even had a mere shot in the first half, but Manchester City's shots were less threatening, and more were from far away Shoot mainly.

The attack effect is very poor.

During the intermission, neither side made substitution adjustments.

Everton still responded with strict defense, while Manchester City strengthened their personal breakthroughs in the frontcourt, especially Hazard and Robinho on the two wings, who were more active with the ball to instigate the offense, but the effect was not ideal.

...

"We need a goal!"

Seeing Gao Shen coming back, Carlo handed over a bottle of water and said in a low voice.

This is nothing new, or even ordinary fans in the stands can see it.

When encountering this kind of iron barrel formation, the most difficult thing is often the first goal. As long as the opponent's goal is broken and the deadlock is broken, many things will be solved easily.

Even, Everton's defense will no longer be as determined as it is now.

They get distracted.

Because some players will not be willing to lose the game zero to one.

But the problem now is, how to score?

Gao Shen didn't understand all of these, but he still shook his head, "Wait a minute."

After thinking about it, Carlo nodded in agreement.

When Gao Shen said "wait a little longer", the implication is that the time is not yet ripe.

In this stalemate, the struggle is consumption.

Both Hazard and Robinho are taking turns to consume Everton's wide players, and more importantly, Gao Shen is waiting.

Moyes must also be paying close attention to the consumption of his players. Once the consumption line is exceeded, he will want to change.

And the best time for Gao Shen to make a substitution is before he makes the substitution, and the replaced player takes advantage of the window of time when the opponent's players have almost consumed it.

In the 63rd minute, Tim Cahill pressed Jerome Boateng when an attack failed. As a result, he fouled and was shown a yellow card by the referee.

The Everton players were upset by this and walked away cursing.

The mentality is a little irritable!

Gao Shen turned his head to look at the coaching bench. The analyst Carlos Vargas noticed it. He immediately raised his hand and nodded towards him. Gao Shen immediately looked at the bench and pointed to De Bruyne, signaling him to warm up.

More than a minute later, De Bruyne came back and stood in front of Gao Shen.

"Remember, what I told you? What is your biggest advantage in passing?" Gao Shen asked De Bruyne's neck, letting him get as close as possible to him.

"Slant pass, boss, I remember everything you said." De Bruyne replied solemnly.

Gao Shen nodded, "Very good, now you can start your performance!"

De Bruyne listened carefully.

"Let Yaya Toure come in, attract Phil Neville and Rodwell, they will definitely deploy at the front of the box."

That's Yaya Toure's most threatening area and Moyes will definitely take it very seriously.

"And pass the ball to the outside of the right corner, so you should be able to gain a little time, and your task is to try to pass the ball diagonally behind, find Van Persie or Sturridge, understand?"

Gao Shen is very clearly arranged, there is no room for ambiguity at all, how can De Bruyne not understand?

"After you go up, tell Van Persie and Sturridge to withdraw first and then go in. When you pass the ball, pay attention to the goalkeeper's position and don't land too close."

De Bruyne kept nodding.

"Go." Gao Shen patted De Bruyne on the shoulder vigorously, encouraging him to work harder.

The Belgian obediently ran to the sidelines.

This time he will replace Robinho.

The Brazilian winger worked hard, but the effect was not particularly satisfactory.

His opponent tonight is a senior courtier, former Real Madrid player Drenthe.

Drenthe has been Everton's first choice at left-back following Leighton Baines' move to Manchester City.

...

"What time is it?"

When Moyes saw De Bruyne standing on the sidelines, ready to make a substitution, he was a little worried.

Advanced on-the-spot command has always been unpredictable.

His substitution at this time, there is no guarantee that he will not pose a threat to Everton.

"Sixty-five minutes," the assistant coach called after him.

Before I knew it, I had been watching for more than an hour.

"Are they okay?" Moyes asked again.

"Philip is struggling."

Philip is Phil Neville, the younger brother of Gary Neville, the captain and main midfielder of Everton.

Thirty-four years old, at that age, under the pressure of such a high-intensity game, it is normal to struggle.

Moyes hesitated.

The current situation is not clear enough, and it is not easy to make a substitution.

His original plan was to hold out for another ten minutes or so, and at the 75th minute, he let Saha play to strengthen the offense.

Does anyone really think that he wants to guard against it to the end?

This is not his Moyes style at all!

Thinking of this, Moyes gritted his teeth, walked to the sidelines, and signaled Rod Verde to move closer to Neville, and at the same time let Fellaini's position come back a little bit, so as to ensure the stability of the front and center of the penalty area.

After the arrangements were made, he was slightly relieved.

...

"Manchester City made substitution adjustments."

"Belgian teenager Kevin De Bruyne has replaced Brazilian winger Robinho."

"Robinho played very hard tonight, but the effect of breaking through the wing was not very good. Now that Kevin De Bruyne is replaced, I don't know if the situation will change."

"We can see that De Bruyne has brought up the latest high-level instructions."

"In the past few years, Gao Shen's on-the-spot command has always been appreciated by everyone. I wonder if he will shine again tonight?"

"Look at this time, Manchester City is still attacking, and it is handed over to Hazard on the left."

"Hazard still wants to try to break through with the ball, but Hibbert defends very firmly on this side, there is no chance, and he passes back."

"Ex-Everton player Leighton Baines came up, crossed to Fernandinho, passed to Yaya Toure."

When Yaya Toure got the ball, Everton's entire formation had retreated to the outside of the penalty area.

Fellaini, Rodwell, and Phil Neville lined up even more, feeling like they were transformed into city walls.

The Ivorian midfielder kept in mind the profound instructions and pushed forward with the ball.

Van Persie ran back from the front and attracted the attention of the Everton players, as if to meet Yaya Toure.

This suddenly made Everton's three midfielders nervous, trying to compress Van Persie's space.

Yaya Toure "seeed" that Van Persie lost the space to hold the ball, so instead of going to the left, he smashed the ball to the right, and "discovered" De Bruyne was leaning on the outside, raising his hand for the ball, and he immediately went Pass the ball to the past.

With his back to the right line, De Bruyne took a special look at the penalty area before stopping the ball.

Sturridge is on the right side of the arc top area, and he is about to advance to the right side of the penalty area, as if to meet De Bruyne.

But Distin kept following him.

If Distin doesn't follow, then De Bruyne only needs to pass the ball to the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area, then Sturridge can get the ball in the penalty area, hit the goal by himself if he has a chance, and pass it across if he doesn't have a chance Teammates can always create threats.

Therefore, Distin had to follow.

De Bruyne is also aware of this. At the same time, he also saw that Drenthe was about to approach him, and the goalkeeper Howard was standing on the right post, so he stopped the ball forward and quickly swung his right foot. A diagonal pass was kicked.

The football flew out of De Bruyne's right foot, quickly crossed an arc, passed over Drenthe's head, and fell towards the back of the goal.
