The opponent is not the national league team, but it is also a good thing, so that the attention of domestic media will be lower, most of which are local media, and the players are relatively relaxed in the face of public opinion.

Of course, the premise is to perform well in the game.

Everton did not send all the main players in this game. For the Premier League team, the Europa League is a very tasteless event.

Because there is too little money!

The reason why the Premier League can occupy the top spot in the European league is also because of money. The Premier League is the richest league in football leagues in the world.

With the development of the commercialization of the Premier League, every team at the bottom of the league can receive a huge broadcast fee from the Premier League, which is generally more than 50 million pounds. You should know that most Bundesliga or La Liga teams have budgets throughout the year. Not so much.

This is just the broadcast share, not counting the various bonuses, tickets and other income for participating in the game. It is estimated that each team earns more than 100 million in each season. It is not a big problem.

In this general environment, Premier League teams have basically lost interest in the Europa League, which has not high honors and bonuses. Of course, many Premier League fans worry that the Premier League that does not score in the Europa League may be surpassed by other leagues such as La Liga. , Lost the position of the first league, but in the face of real money issues, the Premier League team still chose a more realistic option.

Take a look at Everton’s starting lineup.

The goalkeeper is Tim Howard from the United States. After Friedel gets old, Howard is the number one candidate for the United States.

On the back line, there is an old opponent of Qi Ce, John Heitinga who played in the Eredivisie. He took a rookie Gosling to start as a central defender. The left back is the regular main force Bynes, and the right back is Manchester United. Legendary star Phil Neville.

In the midfield, rising star Jack Rodwell started. He partnered with the young Belgian midfielder Marouane Fellaini, with South African player Pinar and veteran Osman on both sides, and the French veteran Saha and the Australian midfielder are at the forefront. M Cahill.

This is a set of main players with substitutes. The head coach is Everton’s widely respected Scotsman Moyes in recent years. This coach who has coached Everton for more than eight years has been favored by Manchester United legendary godfather Ferguson, Sir Alex Ferguson. He is also highly respected, and many people think that the old Sir Alex will list Moyes as one of his potential successors.

Goodison Park Stadium, Everton vs. Dortmund officially began.

Despite the last defeat, the Dortmund fans still have expectations for the team's performance in the European war. The main reason is the team's performance in the post-match press conference after the last defeat. The spirit is pretty good.

This is the biggest difference between Dortmund and last season.

After experiencing the crisis of bankruptcy, Dortmund fans have dropped a lot of the team's performance requirements, but they have improved the team spirit. In the first two seasons, fans are most dissatisfied with the results, but the spirit that the team showed.

Dortmund has the most loyal fan base in Germany, and fans naturally hope that the team can show a side worthy of the fans.

This attitude of being worthy of the fans does not necessarily reflect the team's record, such as must defeat Bayern, but at least the team cannot easily admit defeat.

Last week’s defeat against Bayern Munich did not worry their fans too much. Bayern itself is very strong, and it’s not a weird thing to lose. What fans want to see is that the team adjusts its state as soon as possible after the loss, without being caught once. Defeated.

This game is the test.

However, this test is not easy, and the blame lies in the schedule, especially for Qi Ce.

After playing Bayern Munich, he returned to the national team and played two games, and then only took a two-day break. The next is the European knockout round, or the first round of the knockout round. Although the fans do not require high scores, they still don’t want the team. One round of the knockout round, the first round made the game lose its suspense.

Moreover, the opponent is the Premier League team.

The Premier League is not only the first league, but also the most competitive league. Most Premier League teams pay attention to physical confrontation. Although the Bundesliga is also very physical, it is still a bit tender compared to the Premier League.

Strictly speaking, the strength of the Premier League's confrontation can even be described as rough, at least compared to other leagues.

In addition, the recent close alignment of the schedule has also had a great impact, and Qi Ce quickly felt this during the game.

There are mainly two people who directly confronted Zize, one is the Belgian midfielder Fellaini, and the other is the old opponent Dutch defender Heitinga.

Heitinga is a bit rough, but as a short defender, he can gain a foothold in the Premier League. He is famous for his physical fitness in the Eredivisie. In the Premier League, he has this body to fight against those British central defenders. It's not too much.

In addition, Fellaini is even more so.

After playing in the Premier League for a year, Fellaini, who is a tall man in his own right, showed his strengths to the fullest. His physical fitness is among the best in the Premier League. You are polite, use the way of playing in the Premier League to limit Qi Ce.

Moyes is not very familiar with the new golden boy, but as the winner of the Golden Boy Award, it is not uncommon for Qi Ce to be targeted by opponents.

But this opponent is too difficult!

Fellaini is a tall man. The key is his long legs. It is almost impossible for Qi Ce to break through him one-on-one. It is not about Fellaini's defensive skills, but his long legs have too much defensive area. Qi Ce No matter what you do, he will easily cut the ball off, and Fellaini's actions are not small.

In less than ten minutes, Qi Ce has been put down on the ground twice by his opponents. As long as Qi Ce takes the ball, Everton players will take the initiative to greet him. As expected, all of them are playing the Premier League, even if Qi Ce is already quite big. Part of the Bundesliga players' physical confrontation, but it seems to be a little tender in front of the Premier League team.

This is not necessarily a direct difference in physical fitness, there is also experience.

Tim Cahill, who has played in the Premier League for many years, looks pretty much the same as Qi Ce, but when he really plays, his confrontation on the court is much better than Qi Ce.

This is the gap of experience.

Cahill knows how to use his body to protect the ball, even to win the ball. Dortmund has not played in the European war in these two seasons, and he is not well prepared for the changing Premier League team. The team's own style is also difficult. Show it.

The most proud of the speed, it is also difficult to play under tough confrontation. Dortmund players frequently fell to the ground. In the opponent's home court, the referee also gave a lot of face. Dortmund's people turned their backs in the first half, but they hardly gave cards. A yellow card was given to the teenager Rodville. This was Rodville's defensive lieutenant Qi Dan directly out of bounds again. The referee couldn't stand it anymore and called Rodville to the front and showed a yellow card.

This yellow card allowed Dortmund to get a free kick. It was near the left sideline and more than 30 meters from the goal. It would be very difficult to shoot directly even with precise shots.

After weighing it, Qi Ce ran into the penalty area without saying a word, or it is better to look for opportunities in the penalty area honestly.

Fortunately, Everton’s offense is not very sharp. These offensive players seem to be at a loss in front of Subotic and Hummels’ defense.

Subotic and Hummels are young, but they perform very well in the central defender, a position that requires much experience. They are mature and stable. They have a general style in the defense, even in the face of the Premier League team. It is also not chaos in the face of danger.

The free kick was taken by Shaheen.

The free kicks that are far away are usually played by Shaheen, who can take advantage of his excellent long pass ~lightnovelpub.net~ to send the ball directly to the penalty area to create chaos.

After kicking out a free kick, Shaheen chose the previous point, it was Subotic!

The latter did not directly hit the goal, but raised the ball and let the ball fly to the center of the penalty area!

Hummels, Zize and Kyle grab points in the center of the penalty area. Fellaini, Heitinga and Gorins are responsible for the man-to-man defense. Kyle grabs the first point, but the ball is not well controlled. Fly outside the penalty area, on the right side of the penalty area.

No one here!

Qi Ce gritted his teeth and rushed towards the ball. The Belgian explode Fellaini followed closely behind Qi Ce and took the ball. Qi Ce tried to pick the ball and turned around, but Fellaini went directly to the body and knocked Qi Ce to the ground!

The expected whistle did not remember. Qi Ce fell to the ground and turned his head to see that the referee had already ran backwards quickly. At the same time, Fellaini controlled the ball and the big foot drove towards the Dortmund half. At this time, Dortmund’s The rear was very empty, only Shaheen and Schmelzer were defending at the back, and both central defenders went to the front.

French veteran Saha stopped the ball beautifully and cleverly gave it to Cahill, who faced Weidenfeller single-handedly and scored with one kick!
