145 Avalanche on European debut!
VfL Wolfsburg 2:1 away against Hoffenheim!
Ye Yifeng scored three consecutive rounds of goals to play Mr. Key.
Wolfsburg is located in Lower Saxony, and I dare not say that Ye Yifeng is popular in the entire German football scene, at least in Lower Saxony, he is already a well-known striker killer.
Scoring 5 goals in three rounds has further improved Ye Yifeng's own confidence.
Not only the value of a star, but also the responsibility of a star!
VfL Wolfsburg took a break to get their hands on the group stage of the Europa League in midweek.
VfL Wolfsburg finished fifth in the league last season and went straight to the Europa League.
The opponent in the same group is Lille where Ye Yifeng played in Ligue 1...... Well, Lille, who finished third in Ligue 1 last season, were eliminated from the Champions League qualifying round and brushed up on the Europa League.
and Everton from the Premier League.
and Krasnodar in the Russian Premier League.
In the first round of the Europa League group stage, Wolfsburg will travel to Liverpool, England to challenge Everton at Goodison Park.
Tang Mo took this opportunity to go to the UK and asked alumni to watch the game together.
Ye Yifeng's first visit to the UK was a bit of a spectacle to pay special attention to Liverpool's local scenery, whether it was Anfield or Old Trafford, which were not far away, but his destination on match day was Goodison Park.
Dieter Blackgold continues to experiment with his 4312 formation system.
On the evening of September 18, Ye Yifeng stepped into Goodison Park in the Wolfsburg No. 11 jersey and felt the feverish atmosphere of the field the moment he walked out of the players' tunnel.
The last time I had a game with such an atmosphere was in Ligue 1!
Whether it's in Portugal or France, fans tend to respond enthusiastically to the highlights of the game, and most of the time there will be cheering, but it is not necessarily a sight of everyone going crazy.
It seems that at Everton's home turf, the cheering is even more shocking.
This is perhaps one of the charms of English football fan culture.
Abandon distractions and concentrate on the game.
Ye Yifeng is looking forward to a better performance in his European debut today!
Everton started 4231.
Goalkeeper: Howard.
Defenders: Coleman, Jagielka, Stones, Baines.
Midfielders: Naismith, Gareth Barry, McGeady, McCarthy, Mirallas.
Striker: Romelu Lukaku.
Wolfsburg started 4312.
Goalkeeper: Benaglio.
Defenders: Jung, NardΓ³, Knoch, Ricardo Rodriguez.
Midfielders: Alexander-Arnold, De Bruyne, Gustavo, Caligiuri.
Forwards: Bendtner, Ye Yifeng.
The old Ulic rotated today, and in other positions, Wolfsburg was basically the main force in other positions.
Amid the deafening cheers, the game officially began.
After the start of the game, Everton launched an active attack, and most of the attacks were based on rapid passing and cutting on the ground, and the overall running speed was very fast, and the rhythm took off instantly.
Wolfsburg's overall formation was suppressed one after another and retreated, and Everton's impact was too ferocious.
Even if the attack is frustrated, the overall counter-attack is almost an inch of battle, and coupled with the British pressing defense that advocates physical confrontation, Wolfsburg's disadvantage on the field is getting bigger and bigger.
Although the offensive at the back is also dominated by ground coordination, whether it is Caligiuri, De Bruyne, or Arnold, it is almost difficult to send the ball to the feet of the strikers, and small cooperation is almost impossible to play.
Everton coach Robert Martinez, as a Spaniard, he advocates the Western-style play that is now popular in Europe, and his skills and cooperation can earn him a place in the Premier League.
In fact, Premier League teams do not have much motivation to play in the Europa League, after all, the prize money is not much, and it will increase the physical load in the intensive schedule of the Premier League itself.
Rather than being distracted by the Europa League, it is better to work hard in the Premier League, where the bonus from the top is definitely more cost-effective than the benefits from playing all the way through the Europa League.
Therefore, most Premier League teams play the Europa League just to punch in and follow the fate, and they don't have to have good results, and they are satisfied that the basic income falls into their pockets.
But Everton has begun to have higher requirements for records in recent years, increasing investment in recruitment, and dare not say that they are ambitious to compete for the championship, which is whimsical, but if they can win one or two championship trophies, they can make fans excited for a while.
Isn't this the sinking of Liverpool, and of course Everton will try to carry the banner of Merseyside.
Martinez did not let the team sign the military order, only said that he would try to get off to a good start, and as long as the group put Wolfsburg and Lille down, there would be absolutely no problem in qualifying.
If the top 32 can draw a good lot, you can go all out to win the championship depending on the situation!
Most of Everton's players are veterans in the Premier League, and naturally they are looking to make a name for themselves in Europe.
Therefore, this game not only will not be taken lightly or perfunctory, but also will show the skills of the three armies.
Ye Yifeng and Bendtner were not supported up front, and the duo tried to break through Everton's defence as much as they could.
In the 12th minute of the game, Ye Yifeng ran on the left side of the front field to receive a direct pass from Ricardo Rodriguez.
After he pulled the ball and turned around to face Everton's right full-back, Coleman directly faked and changed to the outside, perhaps because Coleman blocked the inside line, he was really broken through by Ye Yifeng.
As soon as the ball took two steps forward, Coleman turned around and returned to defend towards Ye Yifeng's forward line and shoveled fiercely!
The football was shoveled out of the sideline by the opponent, and Ye Yifeng was also slightly taken to the back and stumbled.
VfL Wolfsburg is still inferior to Everton in terms of rhythm!
The opponent is more familiar with the field at home, enters the state faster, and is good at playing fast-paced, Wolfsburg has not pulled back from the beginning, but the gap between defeats and retreats has become more and more obvious!
Five minutes later, when Ye Yifeng received Gustavo's through ball in the middle of the front court and turned around, he was knocked away by Barry's body.
It's not that Ye Yifeng has to play around himself, De Bruyne's performance from the opening game today seemed to prove only one thing: Mourinho has a reason not to trust him at Chelsea.
Observing the situation and unable to find a suitable point for the ball, Ye Yifeng could only try to turn around by himself.
But the British confrontation style caught him off guard, faster closer, more ferocious ramming!
Ye Yifeng was slightly embarrassed in this confrontation because he was robbed of the first move.
But he is at least a Wolfsburg player in the midfield who can play a little bit against Everton's players.
As for the rest of the players, it was almost an avalanche!
Bendtner is not as good as Ye Yifeng, and he looks like the uncle on the front line.
The self-confident emperor is full of self-confidence.
The temperament is so good.
It seems that as long as he is given a good chance, he can go all the way to the top three candidates for the Ballon d'Or.
As for what to do if you don't have a chance, I don't know, but I have confidence anyway.
In the 21st minute of the game, Everton's continuous fast attack made the Wolfsburg defense noisy, and Baines went to the front to receive Mirallas's pass, cut inside and then sent a powerful cross to the edge of the penalty area.
Lukaku missed a chance in front of goal, but the ball was blocked by Ricardo Rodriguez before it flew to the back post!
Own goal!
Everton continued to attack and bomb to open the scoring.
VfL Wolfsburg, on the other hand, did not even hold their heels in the game.
Dieter Blackgold couldn't do anything on the sidelines.
The overall disadvantage of Wolfsburg is no longer a problem of the technical and tactical formation system, but from the speed, rhythm, state, confrontation and all aspects of the disadvantage!
Even if he thinks that he has stronger technical strength than Everton, he doesn't say that when he can't even stand in a stable position on the ball, any technique is a floating cloud.
Conceding a goal did not improve the form of the whole team in Wolfsburg.
In the 25th minute of the game, Ye Yifeng ran in front of the penalty area in the front field to compete for a high ball from the back.
In fact, it is more like a clearance ball from the midfield.
As soon as he jumped, he was knocked to the ground by Jagielka from behind.
Even if he doesn't fall behind in most of the confrontations and has an advantage in a small number of confrontations, but in the face of Jagielka, it seems that the two are not of the same power level, especially this time he was completely passively hit in the air after the jump, and the whole person was instantly unbalanced.
Four minutes later, he increased his range of motion and went straight behind Bendtner, where Caligiuri played a decisive pass to Baines on the wing.
Ye Yifeng received the ball and immediately went directly to the penalty area to break through.
Stones stretched out his leg to intercept and stepped on his support foot!
The referee blew for a foul on Stones and gave him a yellow card.
Ye Yifeng's team doctor entered the field, and his mentality was about to explode.
This has been hit one after another and violated, and the Buddha is on fire!
In the 42nd minute of the game, Jung was repeatedly penetrated by Baines on the right side of the backfield, and when he faced Baines again, he put the opponent to the ground without saying a word.
Apply for a yellow card yourself.
The Premier League's veterans are used to this kind of scene, and it is common for them to be fouled by opponents.
The Everton players are in a very stable state of mind, as if football is like this.
No rushes, fouls, physical duels, or even hand-to-hand combat, is that still football?
It's not that I haven't seen the bells and whistles of art, and most of them have been repaired to be obedient.
When Baynes took a free-kick and lobbles it into the back of the Wolfsburg penalty area, the unmarked Coleman scored from the back post!
Wolfsburg is two goals down away!
The whole team of Wolfsburg has not only failed to compete with Everton on the field so far, but even the mentality has been deviated!
The rhythm is led by the nose, and the confrontation is at a disadvantage, and the key is that they always suffer in these confrontations.
The core of the midfield organization has entered a state of invisibility, and the most active in the entire frontcourt is Ye Yifeng, but this man who seems to be the most capable of Wolfsburg is also drowned in the muscle strangulation of the Premier League team.
In first-half stoppage time, when Ye Yifeng received a long-distance pass from Ricardo Rodriguez on the wing with his back in front of the penalty area.
He first fought against the card position and then took the initiative to retreat to respond.
As soon as he stopped the ball, he was forced by Barry, and he smashed the ball and changed to dodge just after seeing McCarthy kill.
When he smashed the ball again and changed direction, he was cut off by the opponent's position, but it was clear that he was hit on the thigh first, but the referee did not blow the opponent for a foul.
The moment Ye Yifeng fell to the ground sideways, he got up and sped up two steps, and shoveled McCarthy sideways!
McCarthy consciously controlled the ball and turned to protect the ball, and as he moved, he turned his back to Ye Yifeng.
Seeing this, Ye Yifeng, who immediately retracted his legs, arched his calf and hit the opponent's right leg.
McCarthy fell to the ground and pressed on Ye Yifeng.
Goodison Park erupted in a shout of dissatisfaction with Ye Yifeng.
The referee stopped the game and walked up to Ye Yifeng and showed him a red card!
Ye Yifeng's head suddenly buzzed.
He walked quickly two steps forward and protested to the referee: "He fouled me just now, you didn't blow it, I put the shovel and closed my feet without any malice, but you want to give me a red card?" What is the rationale for this? β
The referee recorded the time of the card and the players sent off on the card, looked up at Ye Yifeng and said: "You just put a shovel behind you, you are not allowed under any circumstances, leave the field now, you can appeal after the game if you are dissatisfied with the penalty." β
"I was just shoveling from the side behind, and he turned around and changed direction to look like I was shoveling from behind! Have you seen clearly! β
Ye Yifeng argued with reason, but the referee stretched out his hand to the sidelines and did not intend to say another word.
Everton fans gloated and laughed, they didn't mind Ye Yifeng continuing to protest with the referee, anyway, watching the show.
Gustavo, Calijuri, and Bendtner also came over to intercede with Ye Yifeng at this time.
No eggs.
Ye Yifeng wiped his face and turned around and walked to the sidelines.
The mood is terrible.
Head coach Dieter Heijin took the initiative to come over and pat Ye Yifeng on the shoulder to show comfort.
Although he was sent off.
But Wolfsburg was the only player who was the most active, active and desperate player in the entire first half!
If De Bruyne, Caligiuri, Bendtner, Arnold, and Bendtner can be as wolf-like as Ye Yifeng, how can Wolfsburg be bullied by Everton and be helpless?
Wolfsburg collapsed.
In fact, from the first minute of the game, they were staging an avalanche.
It's just that this avalanche climaxes after one less fight.
5:0.
Everton slaughter Wolfsburg at home!
There are no heroes who lead the team to a reversal, and it even seems that the resistance is insignificant.
