Chapter 254 Everton with dreams
BATE Borisov, this time the team has had very bad luck recently. First, they were slaughtered by Chelsea in England. When they returned to their home court, the first Europa League opponent they had to face was actually Chelsea.
Who did I offend? ?
On November 11th, in the fourth round of the Europa League group stage, BATE Borisov played against Ercy at home.
It is rare for a European giants team to come to play in a small village like them, and BATE Borisov fans filled the stadium to the brim.
They exhausted all their strength, hoping to interfere with the opponent's offense and win a chance for their team.
Andre is very cold-blooded. In this game, young players such as Harland, Grealish, and Cheek, who have been in hot form recently, were arranged on the starting lineup.
The huge gap in strength made it impossible for the home team to cross that gap. At their own home court, they were held back by the opponent at halftime.
In the end, with Haaland's consecutive goals, Cheek, Barkley and Drinkwater's goals, Chelsea finally took away a victory 0-4 in the away game.
Guaranteed that he won four games in a row in the Europa League, ensuring an absolute advantage in qualifying.
Just three days later, the 12th round of the Premier League began, and Chelsea's opponent was Everton.
Is Everton a strong team?
Not strong, Everton is indeed not a strong team in the history of the Premier League.
It's just that this team often acts as a spoiler for the Premier League champions.
Now they only teach and contact the Portuguese Silva, leading the team this season is not very good, with five wins, three draws and three losses, with 18 points, ranking No.9 in the league.
In today's league, not only Bell and Kovacic were unable to play, but Andre was also fined and suspended for one game because of his indiscretion in the last round.
Chelsea's head coach today is Mr. Vicky, but the pre-match arrangements and tactics were determined by Andre and them.
Chelsea's starting lineup at home is very strong, and the goalkeeper is Hart who conceded the fewest goals this season, although everyone said that it was because of Chelsea's overall defense that Hart got this honor.
But in fact, Hart is the goalkeeper who has conceded the fewest goals so far this season!
In defense, Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Christensen and Alonso.
Today's captain's armband is hanging on Azpilicueta, and Cahill is temporarily sitting on the bench.
In the midfield, Kanter and Barkley are in the middle, William and Grealish are separated on both sides, and veterans Giroud and Morata are at the top.
The lack of Bell and Kovacic is a big blow to Chelsea's offense. Bell is the player who poses the most threats in this team. Kovacic has provided the team with great help in defense and offense. In addition, he also has a long shot like a nerve knife.
Everton's lineup is 4-2-3-1, and the goalkeeper is now England's No. [-] goalkeeper Pickford. Today is also a head-on confrontation between him and the former England No. [-] goalkeeper Hart. Let's see Does Pickford have the strength to be England's No. [-] goalkeeper?
The four back positions are Coleman, Keane, Mina, and Digne. These four are very practical defenders. Although they are not well-known, they are definitely capable players.
The double defensive midfielders Gomez and Gaye are excellent in offense and defense, and they are also the main players of their respective national teams.
The attacking group in the frontcourt included the Arsenal cub Walcott, the Icelandic sniper Sigurdsson, the mighty Bernard and the main force of the England national team, Richarlison.
With Everton's player configuration, he can only get No.9 in the league, which cannot satisfy the team's executives and fans.
Not to mention reaching the Champions League, but at least going to the Europa League. Portuguese coach Silva is also under great pressure. He is one of the two people who are predicted by the Premier League media to leave get out of class the fastest.
The other is Manchester United coach Mourinho, who is now considered to be the first coach to dismiss get out of class.
Silva thought very well, taking advantage of the absence of the opponent's head coach and main players, he wanted to win an away game.
If they can beat Chelsea, it will be a great boost to the morale of the team.
So after the start of the game, Everton launched a frenzied attack, temporarily suppressing Chelsea's opening rhythm.
In just 2 minutes of the game, Richarlison took a long shot from the outside, and Azpilicueta stretched his legs to block the ball from the bottom line.
The corner kick was taken by the former Barcelona full-back Digne. Gomez headed the goal from close range, and Hart subconsciously slapped the ball back into the penalty area. Bernard followed up with a burst shot, but this time The shot from close range was so poor that it flew directly into the stands.
Although Everton had a wave of attacks and played a lot of threats, they were still far from scoring.
But Chelsea have never been the kind of side to stand passively.
In the 7th minute, Glarish swayed Mina in front of the penalty area. When he was about to cut in and shoot, he was fouled by the opponent's defense.
Mina received the first yellow card of the game and gave Chelsea a well placed free kick.
Bale is not on the field. For a free kick in this position, Alonso stood in front of the ball.
But it's a pity that Alonso's free kick bypassed the wall and brushed the crossbar out of the baseline.
Pickford has already given up, a little bit of luck.
It seems that Everton is going to play offensive football with Chelsea today, putting all their energy on offense, and playing back and forth with Chelsea on offense.
First, Digne passed a free kick into the penalty area, and Keane's header went over the crossbar in the crowd.
Looking back, William passed a free kick to the left side of the penalty area, and Alonso, who was outflanking from the backcourt, volleyed from a small angle, which was blocked by Pickford.
Then, Barkley passed the ball, Morata caught the ball and entered the penalty area, but Digne was closely marked and fell into the penalty area.
Morata repeatedly complained to the referee, but they were all dismissed. The opponent believed that it was normal physical contact and did not reach the point of fouling.
The two sides played very fiercely in the first half, but the two goalkeepers, Pickford and Howe, also performed exceptionally bravely.
Before the game, Bernard and Louis had a dispute, and both were shown yellow cards by the referee.
In the second half, Mr. Vicki took the lead in making substitutions, and Haaland, who was very lucky with a goal recently, replaced Giroud.
At the beginning of the game, Louis assisted Qiangqian and made a long pass to the left. Harland, who had just come off the bench, didn't stop the ball and volleyed the ball directly.
Morata volleyed in the lower left corner in front of the small penalty area. Pickford reacted quickly and rushed over immediately, blocking the ball in front of the goal line.
Since you have already made an action, I have to fight back.
Bernard made a cross, and Sigurdson's shot from 25 yards was pushed out of the crossbar by Hart.
Then Morata and Mina entangled and fell to the ground in front of the penalty area line, but the referee ignored it.
In the second half, both sides carried out personnel rotations, but today they still couldn't beat the goal guarded by Pickford and Hart!
Andre, who was sitting in the stands, obviously didn't want to score a point in this game.
