Chapter 496 Toffee Everton
Manchester United's away game against Liverpool was very difficult. At Anfield, Manchester United finally beat Liverpool 1-0, Rooney scored the winning goal.
After the game against Everton on December 12, Manchester United players can look forward to Christmas.
Originally, the game against Everton didn't have too many topics, but because of Ferguson's evaluation of Everton coach Moyes not long ago, the game between Manchester United and Everton suddenly became a topic.
When he came to Manchester, Moyes was questioned by reporters.
"Have you heard, you are likely to be Manchester United's next manager."
Moyes chuckled, "I don't know where you heard about it, but I can only say it's unreliable. We all know that Manchester United's coach is Sir Alex Ferguson."
"It was Jazz himself who named you and praised you."
"Then I can only say that I am very honored to be named and praised by Sir Alex Ferguson, but I think I am still far away from being the head coach of Manchester United. At least for the time being, I don't see this possibility."
"If you were called up by Manchester United, would you not hesitate to work for Manchester United?"
This is a topic with pitfalls, because if Moyes answers badly, he will probably be scolded to death by Everton fans.
"I don't like answering questions that don't exist, so I won't answer yours either, because at the moment, such questions don't seem to make sense."
"I hope you can ask some questions about the game itself, I will be more happy."
It was Manchester United's turn, and Ferguson began to clarify what he said last time.
"I think everyone misunderstood what I meant last time. I just said that I admire Moyes very much. In fact, I also admire many head coaches, such as Koeman of the Netherlands, Heynckes of Germany, etc. I point to Moyes as an example, but your media are too good at making troubles. It seems that I have been fired."
"Hahaha."
"I repeat, I just admire David Moyes and I will always be in charge of this Manchester United team."

The reason why Moyes failed at Manchester United later is too complicated, but he was really successful at Everton.
Everton under Moyes has two major characteristics. The first is stickiness. The defense is like taffy, so Everton's nickname is also taffy.
The second characteristic is hardness.
Moyes likes to use a midfielder with enough hardness, such as Gravesen, and later Fellaini are such characteristic players. They can decide the outcome of the game in the midfield.
In this game, Everton's midfielder is such a butcher midfielder. The first one is Gravesen, who returned from Real Madrid, and he is still strong. The other is Jagielka, who was trained by Everton himself.
In addition, there is Cahill in Australia. Without Moyes, he must be an all-round midfielder, which means that he must go up to attack and come back to help defend.
Therefore, such a midfield defense is very tough, and Ferguson also sent a strong offensive lineup.
First of all, Li Qiao started this game, and Anderson also started. Surprisingly, he was on the left. Sir Alex chose not Ronaldo, but Carlos Tevez.
After the opening game, Everton's tough defense made Manchester United suffer, especially in the midfield, where Manchester United's advancement will basically encounter strong resistance.
When Li Qiao met Gravesen, he was already prepared. Before protecting the ball, he half-turned and stuck in his position, but Gravesen attacked like a jeep and knocked Li Qiao to the ground.
"It's a big move."
Ferguson was very dissatisfied, but Gravesen looked indifferent, as if he had done nothing at all.
If this action is in the Bundesliga, it should have received a yellow card, but in the Premier League, the upper body action is still not so strict.
But for Li Qiao, this blow was not light, Gravesen seemed to have learned martial arts, this blow was full of strength.
The game continued, and soon Li Qiao took the ball again and faced Gravesen.
The two meet head to head.
"You bastard, try kicking me again."
"Just try it, watch your legs."
"F...U"
"F."
"Wow, Li Qiao would be furious." Queiroz on the sidelines was very surprised, because as an oriental person, Li Qiao always gave him the feeling of being gentle and gentle, but the rabbit bit people when he was in a hurry. This Gravesen was obviously trying to get rid of him, so of course he couldn't bear it.
This time the referee was rude, and took out a yellow card, one for each player, and each played [-] boards. But in this way, the atmosphere of the game became more intense, the adrenaline of both sides soared, and the feeling of fresh blood, I think we can all experience it.
But a football game can't just have adrenaline, it will become a fight. The two sides scored 0-0 in the first half. Manchester United seems to be held back by Everton's consumption tactics, and there is no good solution for the time being.
Ferguson is also used to this, because as long as he met Everton in the previous game, it was basically impossible.
This is why Ferguson likes Moyes. His team is tough enough. Ferguson has always been proud of being a Scot, because most Scots are more iron-blooded.
I remember that Ferguson once had a conflict with Keane, and Ferguson actually made the villain Keane even tougher.
At the beginning of the second half, Everton still used the same tactics. Their midfield seemed to be a perpetual motion machine, with endless physical energy, until one person changed everything, and this person was Carlos Tevez.
Needless to say, Argentina's football skills, but his temper is really bad, so in the end he can only go back to Argentina to shine.
But when he's on the court, there's no denying his quality.
Faced with the opponent's strong defense, Tevez suddenly cut inside. This is a choice that no one thought of, because Everton didn't study Tevez much, and more defenses were on Li Qiao's side, but he didn't expect the Argentine to suddenly open the ball.
After the inside cut, on the penalty area line, Carlos Tevez suddenly took a long shot, and the ball drew a beautiful arc. The American goalkeeper Howard seemed helpless. He pounced, but the distance was too far. When the ball flew into the far corner, Ferguson jumped up excitedly.
"The ball went in!!!"
Moyes was also powerless about this, it was an accidental goal, but Everton's advantage was 0-0, when the balance of the game was broken, Moyes's set didn't work, and sure enough, Everton failed to score a goal in the away game, and Manchester United relied on Carlos Tevez's goal.
1 to 0 victory over the Toffees.
