Everton Football Club, Liverpool, Northwest England.

David Moyes, the head coach of Everton, a Scotsman with brown curly hair, was standing in front of the tactical board, passionately explaining the pre-match tactical analysis.

"See? This is Manchester City, they are in this position... 27 points, first in the league."

"And we are in this position... eleventh in the league."

"This is the team we will face tomorrow, after ten rounds of games, they have only lost one game."

"And the only game they lost..."

At this point, David Moyes tore open the first page of the Premier League standings, revealing the second page.

This page has a photo of Su Fei.

"The only game Manchester City lost was because of the absence of this player. I think I don't need to introduce who this is, right?"

David Moyes looked at the players who were listening attentively.

"SuFei!"

"The top scorer with 20 goals!"

"Uh, an alien?"

Everton's players actively responded to the coach's questions, and there were many humorous answers.

David Moyes was very satisfied with the players' enthusiasm, which meant that the players were not affected by the pressure from Manchester City at this time.

"Your answer is correct. This kid is currently the top scorer with 20 goals...alien."

"Remember? Manchester City was defeated by us twice last season, and they barely managed to stay in the league."

"This season, they have become completely different because of Su Fei's joining."

"So..."

"We don't need to be afraid of Manchester City. In essence, it is different from Arsenal and Chelsea, which have solid lineups and excellent players."

"As long as Su Fei is restricted, we can become the second team to defeat Manchester City!"

As the best coach of the Premier League last season, David Moyes has his own unique personality charm.

His persuasive speech brought Everton's players into the wonderful fantasy of winning Manchester City.

After making sure that the players were sure of his statement, David Moyes waved to the assistant beside him.

The assistant immediately understood and brought up a TV, and then inserted a DVD.

The DVD first showed the game scene of Manchester City vs. West Bromwich Albion, Su Fei's debut hat trick, a violent header in the penalty area, and a diving header after knocking Gadso away...

Then there were the scenes of each goal Su Fei scored in the next game.

These amazing contents.

Most of the Everton players present had seen it on football programs, but every time they watched it, they would still be shocked by Su Fei's power and accurate super header.

Hiss.

"See!"

"This is the collection of goals scored by this kid in the first 10 rounds of the game. Did you find any characteristics?"

"Yeah... yes!"

"Header!"

"Headers and headers! 20 goals, except for the most recent game against West Ham United, which was a chest goal in front of the goal."

"A full 19 headers!"

"Have any of you seen a player who uses headers as a regular means of scoring?"

Everton players looked at each other in bewilderment. Who has seen this? Heading can be regarded as an unconventional way of shooting.

In the final analysis.

We play football, use our feet, and practice our feet the most. Maybe some people will practice heading in daily training, especially in corner kick tactics.

But there are definitely not many, and no one can do such a regular header.

"I remember watching a Chinese martial arts movie before... There was an iron head skill in it."

"Uh."

David Moyes saw that some players had started to daydream and digressed, and then said.

"In fact, the key to whether we can beat Manchester City lies here!"

"Su Fei's header is his regular offensive means, but it is also his almost only offensive means!"

"So!"

"If we can limit Su Fei's header, does it mean that 90% of his offense is limited?"

The eyes of Everton players gradually became clear from confusion, and many people sat up excitedly.

What the boss said is correct!

David Moyes nodded with satisfaction, and then turned to the tactical board again.

"Of course!"

"It's not easy to limit Su Fei's headers."

"Look at this, Portsmouth and Arsenal both used a five-back lineup in the game to limit Su Fei's header ability in front of the goal!"

"Portsmouth was very successful. After they used five defenders, Su Fei was silenced.”

“As for Arsenal, they disrupted their defensive formation because of a corner kick, and Su Fei completed the lore.”

“These two games can give us a lot of hints.”

“For example…”

David Moyes carefully analyzed with the players the defensive tactics that the team would adopt in the next game against Manchester City.

Every player listened very carefully.

“Don’t give them corner kicks unless you have to!”

“Strangle the advancement on the right, their left side is a weakness.”

“Assistance must be timely!”

“Don’t miss the confrontation that should be given!”

“Focus on defense in the first half. They are competing with Chelsea for the top spot. They will definitely be eager to score points. We must seize the opportunity to counterattack!”

“Keep a draw and win!”

“The barefoot are not afraid of the shoes. Manchester City’s points will not affect our ranking, so for us, a draw is a victory!”

“But a draw is definitely not a result that Manchester City can accept! ”

“Just this mentality!”

“Go for it!”

......

David Moyes’ passionate explanation echoed in the tactical analysis room, inspiring every Everton player.

In the 02-03 season and the 04-05 season, he won the Coach of the Year award twice in three years.

This serious Scotsman perfectly demonstrated why he was able to lead the team to the best results in nearly a decade after taking over Everton in the 02-03 season.

Last season, even though the team’s star player Wayne Rooney was sold, the team finally won the fourth place in the league and got the opportunity to participate in the Champions League qualifiers.

However.

Today’s lively and passionate tactical analysis class is just a routine operation before each game of the team.

.............................

On September 30, Manchester City’s eleventh round match day arrived.

Manchester, at the end of September Today, a cold ocean monsoon arrived, and the weather changed suddenly.

It seemed like overnight.

The fans who were still wearing short-sleeved summer clothes a second ago, today all wrapped themselves in long-sleeved sweaters.

The bus carrying Manchester City players slowly drove into the Etihad Stadium.

The raging cold wind did not affect the enthusiasm of the Blue Moon fans.

Excitedly waving the small flag of Manchester City in their hands.

Today.

It was not Stuart who got off the bus and rushed to the pre-match press conference, but Oliver.

Uh.

Continuous overtime work and staying up late, coupled with the sudden cold air, Stuart fell ill.

At this time.

Manchester Royal Hospital.

In a ward somewhere.

Stuart, lying on the bed, greeted the beautiful nurse with a serious expression.

"Your name is Gina, right... Gina, do you feel my unique temperament? Do you know Manchester City? I am actually from Manchester City..."

"Sorry, sir, I don't follow football. I am an international student from the United States."

Stuart stopped talking awkwardly and turned on the TV silently.
