For Chinese fans, in addition to watching Manchester United and Dong Fangzhuo, another highlight of this game is Li Tie.

Chinese player Li Tie came to the bench. This is the first time Li Tie has stepped into the Premier League for the first time in 23 months.

The last time Li Tie qualified for the Premier League was in the 03-04 Premier League, in January 2004, Everton hosted Arsenal in the game, Li Tie started in the first half, was substituted in the second half, and finally the team forced the Gunners 1-1.

Since then, Li Tie has not been able to represent the team again in the Premier League due to an injury in the national team, and there is no chance of even being a substitute. Earlier this season, the team played in two Champions League qualifiers, and Li Tie was on the bench but failed to win even a minute of play.

This week is actually a good opportunity for Li Tie. With Gary Cahill suspended for three games, Mikel Arteta suspended for accumulating yellow cards, Donny van der Meyde and Carsley injured, and four absolute main-caliber players out at the same time, Li Tie was given a good chance.

In the midweek reserve game, Li Tie was substituted after 70 minutes, and it was clear that the coach was looking at his form. Away against Manchester United, Li Tie served as a substitute, which was considered a completely acceptable result.

In the players' tunnel, Dong Fangzhuo did not see Li Tie, indicating that he would definitely not be able to start.

It's a pity.

In the Premier League, Sun Jihai's situation is much better than him, he is a regular main force, and Li Tie's Premier League career seems to be almost over.

But what is the way, playing here, itself depends on strength, and without strength, you can't even get into the squad.

"Although China Dong broke the drought in the Champions League, he has not scored in three games in the league......"

"Will he score in this game? Hey. Before the game, William Hill Spinach offered a particularly interesting odds, the Manchester United captain scored at 3 odds, which is not a high odds...... That means he's likely to score. Cristiano is 2.8 and Rooney is 15, after all, he is not in the starting line-up, just sitting on the bench. ”

'David Moyes was quite low-key before the game, he thought Everton came here just to get a draw and they were fighting for relegation, but damn it, his side are now sixth in the table, with less than 10 points left on the relegation points, and last season they finished fifth in the league and played in Champions League qualification, but unfortunately they were eliminated in qualifying, otherwise they would have played better and Moyes would have laughed.

Subsequently, Lineker announced the starting line-ups for both sides.

Man Utd line-up (4-3-3): Edwin van der Sar; Gary. Neville, Vidic, Sylvester, Richardson; Fletcher, Scholes, Smith; Cristiano Ronaldo, Dong Fangzhuo, Ryan Giggs.

Everton line-up (4-4-2): Wright; Hibbert, Yabo, Will, Valent; Osman, Simon. Davis, Philip. Neville, Kilbani; McFadden, Beatty.

When Philippe Neville's name was read on the radio, the United fans gave him a round of applause to welcome his home. Although the two Neville brothers also hugged cordially, applause rang out again.

The United fans in the stands were a little moved, perhaps out of nostalgia for Best, who now became very vulnerable and sensitive to anything that could touch their nerves.

United have dominated Everton with 19 wins and three draws in 10 years, with Everton's last win at Old Trafford coming 13 years ago. But Everton have won 4 of their last 5 games, so it is impossible for Manchester United to win Everton by relying on previous achievements, history is history after all!

The United players on the pitch didn't think so, and just 85 seconds into the opening 85 seconds, Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball into Everton's box, and his dribbling down the right left Kilbani and Valente completely at a loss.

Screams erupted immediately from the stands, and the in-form Cristiano Ronaldo ignited Manchester United's attacking desire from the start.

Unfortunately, in the end, his shot was blocked by Everton centre-back Weir.

"Ronaldo's dribbling was quite fast, and he wanted to eat Everton in the opening bite, but he was just a little bit short. When Ronaldo dribbled the ball on the right side just now, the Manchester United captain also pounced like a wolf, and Yabo and Will were obviously still a little inattentive and were dragged a little embarrassed by the two of them. However, Ryan Giggs on the left did not seem to run enough, and he only crossed the half when they reached the penalty area. There is still a generation gap between young players and old players. ”

Giggs eventually went straight to the corner flag to take the corner.

Instead of passing the ball into the box, he played a tactical corner to Scholes on the perimeter, and Scholes unloaded it lightly and immediately fired a powerful shot from 25 yards in the middle!

As a result, the ball hit teammate Smith's hip and bounced to the feet of the opposing player, and the opponent kicked the ball out of the fence with a big kick.

Vidic leaned on one of the opposing strikers, McFadden, and Silvestre swung his head back with ease to try to get the ball over to Van der Sar.

However, the strength is less!

Everton's other striker, Beattie, rushed up from behind him, almost slippery than a loach.

"Oh my God!"

Under the watchful eye of more than 60,000 fans at Old Trafford, Sylvester gave Beatty a beautiful 'assist'!

Van der Sar's attention was quite focused, and he rushed out as Beattie rushed over.

But it was too late for him to hold the ball with both hands, so he could only swing his right fist and try to hit the ball first.

He did it.

However, the ball was blocked by another Everton player......

Smith didn't hesitate at all, and directly kicked the flying shovel behind him!

Osman couldn't get enough of a direct shot into the empty net!

Toot –

The referee rushed over and gave Smith a red card without hesitation.

"Oh God!"

"Too bad!"

"Poor Smith!"

"Wardfark!" Ferguson scolded his mother directly on the sidelines.

Damn Silvestre, he just let Smith off......

If it weren't for Sivelst's return pass being too casual, Smith wouldn't have given Osman such a kick in the back.

The kick was destined to be a red card, and if Smith didn't tackle, Osman could easily push the empty net.

So, Smith is actually worth the red card, at least he can make sure that Manchester United haven't conceded a goal yet.

The fan seat was instantly scolded, and the fans were fed up with Silvestre's clumsy performance! Again and again brought the team into the pit.

"Ferguson doesn't have to hesitate, let's deal with this goods in winter, there is no need to think about it at all......"
