Chapter 374 Gifts at the beginning

For Chinese fans, in addition to watching Manchester United and Dong Fangzhuo in this game, another highlight is Li Tie.

Chinese player Li Tie entered the bench. This is the first time Li Tie has entered the Premier League sidelines in 23 months.

The last time Li Tie qualified in the Premier League was in the Premier League in 2004. In the game between Everton and Arsenal in January 2004, Li Tie started in the first half and was replaced in the second half. In the end, the team forced the Gunners 1-1.

Since then, Li Tie has been injured in the national team and has not been able to appear in the Premier League again on behalf of the team, and there is no chance to be a substitute. Earlier this season, the team participated in two Champions League qualifiers, and Li Tie has entered the substitute lineup, but failed to win even one minute of the opportunity to play.

This week is actually a good opportunity for Li Tie. Cahill was suspended for three games, Arteta was suspended for a cumulative yellow card, Van der Mead and Casley were injured, and four players of the absolute main level were absent at the same time, Li Tie got a good opportunity.

In the mid-week reserve team game, Li Tie was substituted after 70 minutes of appearance. It was obvious that the coach was examining his condition. The away match against Manchester United, and Li Tie served as a substitute, was considered an acceptable result.

In the player channel, Dong Fangzhuo did not see Li Tie, which means that he would definitely not be able to start.

Something is a pity.

In the Premier League, Sun Jihai's situation is much better than him. After all, he is the regular main player. Li Tie's Premier League career looks almost over.

But what is there? Playing football here depends on strength. Without strength, you can't even make a big list.

"Although China Dong broke the bad luck in the Champions League, he has not scored three games in the league..."

"Will he score a goal in this game? Hehe. Before the game, William Hill Spinach Company opened a particularly interesting odds. The Manchester United captain's odds were 3, and the odds were not high... This means he is likely to score a goal. Cristiano is 2.8 and Rooney is 15. After all, he did not enter the starting lineup and just sat on the bench."

"Before the game, Moyes was quite low-key. He thought Everton came here just to get a draw. They wanted to fight for relegation. But damn, his team is now ranked sixth in the standings, with less than 10 points left from the relegation score. Last season, they won fifth in the league and participated in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. Unfortunately, they were eliminated in the qualifiers, otherwise they would perform better. Moyes would smile."

Later, Leinker announced the starting rosters of both sides.

Manchester United's lineup (4-3-3): Van der Sar; Gary Neville, Vidic, Sylvester, Richardson; Fletcher, Scholes, Smith; Ronaldo, Dong Fangzhuo, and Giggs.

Everton's lineup (4-4-2): Wright; Hibert, Yabo, Will, Valente; Ottoman, Simon Davis, Philip Neville, Kilbany; McFadden, Beatty.

When the radio read Philip Neville's name, Manchester United fans gave him warm applause to welcome his house. Although the two Neville brothers hugged each other cordially, the applause rang again.

Manchester United fans in the stands were a little moved, perhaps out of nostalgia for Best, and now they have become very vulnerable and sensitive to anything that can touch the nerves.

Manchester United has won 19 wins and 3 draws against Everton in 10 years. Everton last won at Old Trafford 13 years ago. But Everton has won 4 games in the last 5 games, so it is impossible for Manchester United to win Everton based on previous achievements. History is history after all!

The Manchester United players on the court never thought so. In just 85 seconds of the game, Ronaldo brought the ball into Everton's penalty area. His one-stop dribbling on the right made Kilbany and Valente completely at a loss.

The stands immediately screamed, and Ronaldo, who was in a hot state, ignited Manchester United's desire to attack from the beginning.

It's a pity that his shot was blocked by Everton's central defender Will.

"Ronaldo's dribbling speed is quite fast. He wants to eat Everton in one bite at the beginning, which is a little bit short of it. Just now, when Ronaldo dribbled the ball on the right, the Manchester United captain rushed forward like a wolf. Yabo and Will were obviously not focused, and they were dragged a little embarrassed by the two of them. However, Giggs on the left seemed to have not run enough. When Dong and the others entered the penalty area, they rushed through the half. There is still a certain generation gap between young players and old players."

Giggs finally walked straight to the corner flag and took the corner kick.

He did not pass the ball into the penalty area, but instead gave the tactical corner kick to Scholes on the outside. Scholes unloaded lightly and immediately shot from 25 yards in the middle!

As a result, the ball hit the buttocks of teammate Smith and bounced to the opponent's player's feet. The opponent kicked the ball away and surrounded it.

Vidic leaned against one of the opponent's strikers McFadden, and Sylvester easily headed the ball back and tried to push the ball to Van der Sar.

But the strength is less!

Another Everton striker, Beatty, rushed up from behind him, which was even slipperier than a loach.

"Oh my God!"

Under the gaze of more than 60,000 Old Trafford fans, Sylvester gave Beatty a beautiful 'assist'!

Van der Sar was quite focused, and when Beatty rushed over, he rushed out too.

But it was too late to hold the ball with both hands, so he could only swing his right fist and try to take the lead and hit the ball out.

He did it.

But the ball was blocked by another Everton player...

Smith didn't hesitate at all and just kicked the ball behind him!

Ottoman couldn't even make it too late to push the ball into the empty goal!

beep--

The referee rushed over and took out a red card for Smith without hesitation.

"Oh God!"

“Too bad!”

"Poor Smith!"

"Wardfack!" Ferguson cursed directly on the sidelines.

Damn Sylvester, Smith was directly defeated...

If Seaverster's return pass was not too casual, Smith wouldn't have hit Ottoman in the back.

This kick is destined to be a red card. If Smith doesn't shovel, then Ottoman can easily push the ball to the empty goal.

So, Smith actually got a very worthwhile red card like this, at least he can ensure that Manchester United has not conceded the ball.

The fans instantly cursed, and the fans were fed up with Sylvester's clumsy performance! They brought the team into the pit again and again.

"Ferguson doesn't need to hesitate. I'll deal with this guy in winter. I don't need to think about it anymore..."
