Chapter 249 Relegation Battle

(Welcome to join the Midfield Master Book Friends Exchange Group:)

"Dear viewers, welcome to the thirty-eighth round of the Premier League broadcast live on Sky Sports. I am Jamie Redknapp. Today I will comment on this game for you. My good partner Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher, they both have other tasks today, and they will comment on the other games alone."

Little Redknapp appeared on the TV screen as usual, and he was the only one in the commentary booth. His former partners, Gary Neville and Carragher, were in another studio to explain other Premier League games.

Because this round of competitions is played simultaneously with ten games, Sky Sports has also opened up separate live broadcasts of several other games, so that several focus games can be played at the same time.

Without exception, these games to be broadcast live are all games of relegation teams. Due to limited resources, they even gave up the live broadcast of some wealthy teams.

However, for the audience in England, the life-and-death struggle between the relegation teams is obviously more enjoyable than watching the "warm-up match" of the rich teams.

"Today I bring you Everton vs. Hull City at home. Hull City is currently ranked 18th in the league, and the relegation situation is in jeopardy. While I win the game, I have to watch several other relegation opponents It can be said that Bruce's life is not easy."

Redknapp Jr. analyzed the current situation of the Premier League standings, and on the TV screen, the current league standings appeared in the lower left corner, and the points and rankings of several teams after get off work were highlighted in red.

In the rolling subtitles below the TV, the real-time situation and scores of each game are continuously played, so that fans in front of the TV can learn about the game information at the first time.

"Today's game was as predicted before the game. Everton's coach Martinez had most of the substitutes. We can see Hull City's coach Bruce. After seeing Everton's starting lineup, the whole People's faces are much more relaxed." Little Redknapp couldn't help teasing when he saw Bruce's face appearing on the TV screen.

"This game is very critical for Bruce and his team. Whether they can stay in the Premier League depends on whether they can win Everton in this game. Although Everton sent a substitute lineup, their The strength cannot be ignored. Coupled with the fact that these substitute players have been holding back for most of the season, I am afraid that they are already hungry and thirsty, so Hull City must not take it lightly."

In the voice of Redknapp Jr.'s commentary, the game began.

The entire Hull City team knew that this was a life-and-death battle, so they pressed forward to attack from the beginning, acting as if they were mainly against the guest.

But as Jr. Redknapp said,

Now Everton's players on the field are all substitutes. They usually have little chance to perform. Now they get a starting chance and don't try their best to perform?

If he performs well, he will be able to stay in the team next season and even be reused. If the performance is not good, the summer transfer window may be cleaned.

Everton is also considered a strong team in the Premier League. Both exposure and salary are very impressive. It is impossible for these players to give up the opportunity to play for Everton.

Therefore, although the players of Hull City were determined to win this game, they did not take advantage of the same hard work of the Everton players.

In addition, the rising star Stones and the veteran Distin sit on the median line. This cooperation between the old and the young is not unfamiliar, blocking most of Hull City's attacks.

In the first half of the game, although Hull City created some opportunities, they all failed because they shot too impatiently.

This is a side effect of stress. Although the pressure of relegation will make players desperate, players will also deform their movements or make improper choices due to nervousness.

Although Everton's players were a little rusty in coordination, they were more relaxed and confident in their movements. On the contrary, they controlled the situation and made Hull City's offense gradually difficult.

Bruce frowned on the sidelines. The performance of the team will undoubtedly plunge them into the abyss and cannot extricate themselves.

At the end of halftime, Bruce's team shook hands with Everton 0-0, and the two sides entered the intermission.

Fifteen minutes of intermission passed quickly. After the start of the second half, the Hull City team, which had been adjusted in the midfield, seemed to have found its form. In the fifty-fifth minute, the old Everton player Jelavic scored a header and scored a goal. One to zero lead.

This goal completely ignited the passion of the away fans, and they began to sing loudly, happy for the team's lead and a glimmer of life. Because in several other arenas, the situation of several other relegation teams does not seem to be optimistic.

"Hull City scored! According to the current score, they will have 38 points. And several other relegation opponents, Newcastle draw, Aston Villa draw, Sunderland behind. In this case, they will surpass these three. A team out of the relegation zone!"

Little Redknapp explained the current situation in detail in the studio. On the standings in the lower left corner, Hull City also rose from eighteenth to fifteenth.

This is undoubtedly exciting news for Bruce and his team.

But for Everton fans, this conceded goal is a bit disappointing. Although this game is tasteless, no one wants to see their team lose.

Xia Ze, Lukaku and Gibson were immediately called out by the coach to warm up. Whether it is from the perspective of warming up for the FA Cup final or saving the field, the three of them can be of the greatest use.

The warm-up of the three really attracted cheers from Everton fans.

Bruce on the coach bench on the other side also frowned when he saw Xia Ze warming up, and turned around to discuss something with the assistant coach.

The outstanding performance of Xia Ze and Lukaku this season has put too much pressure on him.

But before Bruce could react in the future, Xia Ze and Lukaku came off the bench in the 60th minute, and the two played only three minutes, Xia Ze assisted Lukaku through the ball, and the latter swayed past the goalkeeper and pushed. Empty goal.

The fans of Everton cheered for a while, but the players and fans of Hull City were ashamed.

"My God, Hull City was equalized in just eight minutes. If this continues, they will fall to eighteenth in the standings and will be relegated!" Little Redknapp looked at the screen. In the standings, the three big red characters of Hull City are quite conspicuous, and they appear in the gray positions of the last three places in the standings.
