Chapter 71 Warcraft 3 Bars
If we evaluate Everton's three lines separately, the forward line performed relatively poorly.
I'm mainly a little nervous!
Although Ye Xian told the players to relax before the match, the feeling was completely different when they were actually on the field, playing amidst the roar of tens of thousands of fans.
Whether it's Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, or Didier Drogba.
Both of them are too young, and they used to dominate in youth teams, but neither of them has played in a top league.
Drogba only played half a season in Ligue 1, but Ligue 1 is relatively more "relaxed" compared to the Premier League, and the pace and atmosphere of attack and defense are not on the same level.
When you're nervous, you often can't execute technical movements properly.
The forwards' coordination requires the highest level of precision, as they are facing the opponent's tightest penalty area defense.
Their technical errors lead to coordination failures, which in turn cause Everton's attacks to often only have a beginning and no end.
but.
These three players are all future world-class strikers, possessing mental qualities that ordinary people lack.
After playing for about 20 minutes, I gradually got used to it.
On the other hand, Ye Xian kept reminding them from the sidelines, reminding them of how they felt during training and warm-up, so they could quickly regain their form.
Thus, Everton's offensive gradually began.
Tottenham immediately felt the pressure!
Because when Everton's young players get fully active, they run around like crazy in attack, constantly switching positions;
Their high-pressing style of play in defense is almost suffocating!
Tottenham manager Hoddle also frowned.
He has rarely encountered such a kicking style.
They win the ball back as soon as they lose it, and then launch a counter-attack as soon as they win it back, playing at a very fast pace.
Under such a fast pace, Tottenham's players quickly became unaccustomed to it, and possession of the ball was frequently lost.
Everton gradually took over the game and gained the upper hand on the field!
Especially the two flanks, they were completely invigorated.
On the left flank, Ronaldo displayed remarkable flair, frequently using his speed and changes of direction to attack Tottenham's full-backs, creating threats time and again with his sharp breakthroughs, leaving the opponent's flank defense in a state of panic.
Grosso, behind him, made a steady forward run, delivering high-quality crosses and constantly feeding ammunition into the penalty area.
Rooney and Alves's clever combination and overlapping runs on the flanks left Tottenham's wing defense overwhelmed and constantly on the move.
Everton, playing at home, launched a relentless offensive, completely overwhelming Tottenham.
In the 25th minute, Everton's attacking trident began to exert its power.
On the left wing, Ronaldo faced Tottenham's right-back Karl and used a series of stepovers to dazzle him.
After creating space, he cut inside to the corner of the penalty area and unleashed a powerful shot!
The ball was powerful, but Tottenham goalkeeper Keller was very focused and punched it away with both fists.
But the ball didn't fly too far and was caught by Rooney on the right.
Rooney dribbled past Tottenham's left-back Taric with his speed, rushed to the right side of the penalty area, and crossed the ball into the box.
Drogba, who made a timely run into the middle, used his strong physical strength to force his way past two Tottenham center-backs, strode forward to meet the ball, adjusted his footing steadily, and decisively pushed the ball into the air!
"Bang!"
The ball flew into the bottom right corner of the goal!
Tottenham goalkeeper Keller made a desperate diving save, his fingertips barely touching the ball, but he was powerless to stop the goal!
1-0, Everton are leading at home!
"Beautiful!" Huang Jianxiang shouted.
"Everton have scored! It's striker Didier Drogba, number 9, who has netted Everton's first Premier League goal of the season! His run was incredibly active, and he appeared right in the most dangerous area of the penalty box!"
"This striker from Ivory Coast is incredibly strong! Gardner and Richards even tried to catch him with their arms, but they couldn't stop the goal!"
"He was personally invited to join the team by Coach Ye in France. Although many people don't understand why Ye Xian values this player who only started playing in Ligue 1 at the age of 24 so much, looking at it today, his choice seems to be the right one!"
"Of course, Everton's two wingers also played a crucial role in this goal."
"Cristiano, number 7... His name is so long, I'll just call him C Ronaldo from now on. His breakthroughs and shots on the left wing are very sharp."
"And the younger Rooney on the right wing, number 11, is also very fast and his crosses are very timely."
"The young attacking trio that Ye Xian personally crafted for Everton is beginning to show its power!"
……
The moment Drogba scored, Goodison Park erupted!
Forty thousand home fans instantly stood up, blue scarves and team flags fluttered in the air, and a deafening roar of cheers pierced the sky.
After a full twenty-five minutes of waiting, the emotions finally erupted, with singing, shouts, applause, and cheers mingling together and sweeping across the entire stadium.
All the doubts, pessimism, and prejudices before the match vanished completely in the face of this goal!
On the field, Drogba, who scored the goal, was completely unleashed!
This usually silent, composed, and unsmiling monster revealed a rare wild smile, turned around and sprinted all the way to the corner flag, where he celebrated with a sliding knee celebration.
Three clearly visible scratches appeared on the grass at Goodison Park.
He really is a man who can pull off three slacks!
The next second, the entire Everton squad swarmed over.
Cristiano Ronaldo was the first to rush forward and hug Drogba tightly around the waist, the young man's face full of a bright smile and extreme excitement.
Rooney followed closely behind, rushing over to embrace and celebrate;
Then came Alonso, Gravesen, Li Tie, Stubbs, Alves...
The teammates quickly gathered around, forming a tight huddle.
This team, which was newly formed during the summer transfer window, is now embracing each other tightly, their blood boiling, fully enjoying this moment of victory that belongs to the team.
The coaching staff on the sidelines were absolutely ecstatic!
Moyes, unlike his usual calm self, excitedly clenched his fist and raised his arm, his face full of joy and excitement, and then gave Ye Xian a big hug!
He finally understood that Ye Xian's tactical system was truly a top-tier style of play capable of overwhelming opponents and creating advantages in the Premier League.
The other coaches did the same, coming over one by one to hug and high-five Ye Xian.
All the daily practice on the training field, the meticulous tactical planning before the match, and the numerous targeted adjustments have now all turned into the fruitful result of a goal, and of course everyone is happy!
In the center of the crowd, Ye Xian finally shed his composure and calmness, a bright and cheerful smile spreading across his face as he congratulated everyone.
This goal was not only Everton's first of the new season, but also the most powerful rebuttal to all the doubters.
Look to the other side.
Hoddle, sitting next to the Tottenham coaching bench, had a completely gloomy expression.
His pre-match confidence of an "easy victory" has now become a huge joke.
Not only did Everton score first, but in the first 25 minutes of the game, Tottenham were completely dominated and had no chance to fight back!
Arrogant and overconfident before the match, he never imagined things would turn out this way, nor did he make any contingency plans.
Hoddle stood at the edge of the command area, his brow furrowed, his face ashen, his hands behind his back, his body tense, his eyes filled with disbelief and panic.
Now, only a few words are echoing in his mind:
"What should I do?"
"What should we do?"
"What should we do?... "
