Chapter 413: The People's Team Everton (Page 1/1)

When it comes to Everton Club, we can't fail to mention Li Tie, the Chinese 'celebrity' in the former team.

In July 2002, under the operation of Everton club sponsor Ke Jian, Chinese players Li Tie and Li Weifeng, who had just 'visited here' in the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, joined the English Premier League team Everton on loan. At that time, Li Weifeng, who had a more distinctive personality and was more famous, was more favored by the outside world, but no one expected that Li Weifeng, as Asia's top defender, only stayed at Everton for four months and made one appearance, and then hurriedly ended his loan and returned to China early, while the low-key and introverted Li Tie stayed there for four seasons.

In January 1997, as one of Jianlibao's 'Four Little Swans', he and Li Jinyu, Li Weifeng and other five teammates were urgently recalled from Brazil to Qinwang to save the driver, and since then he has become a well-known figure. However, in the top 10 matches in 1997, he was shouted by the audience in Jinzhou to 'change Li Tie', which also made him the most famous 'back-up man' in Chinese football as soon as he became famous.

Four years later, in the Asian group stage of the World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team defeated the Maldives 10:1 in Xi'an Province in the first game, and the only goal conceded in the game was cultivated by Li Tie himself. first made a mistake in passing, and then ran more than 30 meters close to the opponent's player, without tackling or fouling, and accompanied others to the penalty area to break through Jiangjin's gate. That was the only chance for the Maldives to play in the stadium, and that day, Zhuo Yang and his partners in the stands chanted 'change for Li Tie' with 65,000 fans in the light rain.

'Change Li Tie', 'Change the referee', 'Guoan stupid' is the slogan of self-entertainment for many years by Chinese fans, and it can also resonate with the whole audience the most.

Li Tie as a midfielder, it really doesn't make people see what he can do, he is 31 years old this year, not to mention the Premier League and the Chinese Super League for so many years, he still hasn't scored a goal in any league, and the only impression that fans and most reporters have of Li Tie is that he is very capable of running. However, all the coaches he has experienced, from turtles to foreign handsomes, from Milou to Moyes, all of them have great respect for him, and even praise him.

Imagine that creativity is village-level, shooting is factory-level, personal skills are B-level, playmaking passes are B-level, speed and body are A-A, defensive ability is super-average, and running physical fitness is K-League level. However, Li Tie's vision and pattern at both ends of the midfield offensive and defensive ends are beyond the Asian level.

He can't do it on the offensive end with a sword to seal his throat and Deng Pingdushui, nor can he do it on the defensive end to freeze thousands of miles and cross the knife immediately, but Li Tie can always appear where the midfield needs it most, giving his teammates a response and transition. He does all the most humble work on the field, but he is always there for every crucial moment.

With such characteristics of Li Tie, coupled with his undead physical fitness, it is not surprising that he can be favored by all coaches.

In the 2002-03 season, Li Tie was the absolute mainstay of Everton's midfield, and his excellent performance in the back two positions was a big factor in Everton's almost relegation the previous season but the next year, but they finished seventh in the Premier League. It's a pity that since the second season, Li Tie has suffered from endless injuries, and he almost didn't play any games in the two seasons of 04-06.

In the summer of 2006, while Zhuo Yang transferred to AC Milan with a record, Li Tie quietly transferred from Everton to Sheffield United, a promoted club in the Premier League, and returned to the Championship the following year. After the opening of the winter window in January this year, the 31-year-old Li Tie joined Sheffield United, the new military city of the Chinese Super League, on loan, ending his six-year career abroad.

Now Chinese football does not have the grand occasion of those years, and only Otbus Shao Jiayi and Manchester City's Sun Jihai, who have been reduced to the edge of the team's bench, are still struggling to support in the four major leagues. Zheng Zhi is in the Championship, Sun Xiang has also returned to Shanghai from the Eredivisie, and Dong Fangzhuo is still at Manchester United, but Ferguson is already planning to send him back to Dalian on loan.

As for Zhuo Yang, except for the bottom of the league register, no one regards him as a Chinese player. He is widely known as a German player, along with Tunisian Sami Khedira, Turkish Mesut Ozil, Polish Klose and Ghanaian Boateng Chinese.

The day after seeing off Midel and her dad, Choyang and his AC Milan arrived at the San Siro for the first leg of the 07-08 UEFA Cup round of 16 against Everton, who had been in excellent form in the Premier League for both seasons. Everton, nicknamed the 'Toffees' last season, finished sixth and are only two points clear of fifth for the halfway point of the season, with a good chance of reaching next season's Champions League at the end of the season.

Who's in fourth place? Arsenal, of course!

Everton, who visited today, played almost all the main games, but AC Milan is still in the injury wave, and among the injured players who can discharge a complete lineup, the eighth and ninth masters, who have a little cold, have recuperated a little after the past few days, and Ancelotti looked a little impatient when they put them in the starting lineup.

That's the case with older teams, and they always have these problems at the start of the season and halfway through the season. Zhuo Yang has also been in a correction of form recently, and he is not high, and he was only beaten by six points in the game against Lazio four days ago, which is unusual for him.

Just two minutes into the game, Zhuo Yang tested the waters with a volley from the edge of the box, and the football was kicked off the field by American goalkeeper Howard with a one-legged jump.

Everton is known as the 'people's team', and the players are only some strong people who do not show average talent but are solid and stable, but if there is a little bit of demon value, they will not be forced to stay, such as Rooney. But in a side-by-side comparison, there are still some star players in the team, such as 29-year-old Tim Howard.

Howard was Manchester United's first-choice goalkeeper after the famous goalkeeper Butters, who was stripped of his No. 1 glove by Carroll only a few months over a three-season period. In the summer of 2005, the front foot completed the contract renewal with Howard, and Manchester United bought Van der Sar on the back foot, so angry that Howard scolded: If Lao Tzu knew that they would buy the Dutchman, the dog would renew the contract!

In this way, he hated Lord Fu and dumped him to Everton the following year. As one of the most recognizable stars in American football, a three-year career with the Red Devils, coupled with his all-day promotion of 'love tattoos, not fur', has made Howard a big name in Everton.

Speaking from the heart, although the likes of Laras to Donovan are arrogant all day long, the only thing that American football can call the world level is their goalkeeper. For more than ten years, the three major goalkeepers Keller, Friedel and Howard have taken turns to defend this position, and the strength of this position is not lost to any national team.

However, Everton's biggest star in the squad today is someone else, a true giant-level player, who was robbed by clubs at his peak, and his wide break was as shocking as his foul mouth.
