Chapter 314 End of the game
What Everton is poor is efficiency!
The two teams are evenly divided in the offensive battle. Both Liverpool and Everton are bound to score again, but the efficiency gap between the two teams is too big.
Liverpool has not only Don Jack, but also Gerrard and other stars.
Everton is different. The reason why their players are big stars is because their creativity is different. In fact, there is not much difference between stars and ordinary players in terms of technical level. The biggest difference is the creativity of the two. Stars often have unparalleled creativity, which can ensure that their goals are more efficient.
But Everton doesn't.
Their players can only stick to the rules like machine parts. The machine that works may be extremely sophisticated and the efficiency is not low, but there is still a certain gap compared with the rich team. This is also a good result that Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and even Manchester United can play well, but Everton can only play. The reason for the fifth in the league.
Now, Moyes also understands a little. He feels that his previous ideas may be too persistent.
especially...
Like Liverpool's No. 10, such a player is absolutely rare. Even if he is offered the highest salary for the team? What if a lot of substitutes are sacrificed for him? What if he can be above the team!?
That's nothing!
The important thing is that such a star can ensure the efficiency of his team's goals! This is the most important thing.
For a team, nothing is more important than performance. With achievements, there is everything, and the club can fall into benign development. Everton's development model is still in the cycle of small clubs. Through the continuous trading of players, it improves the funds of its own club's operation and develops step by step.
Thinking of this, Moyes smiled bitterly.
Speaking of which, Everton is far less powerful than in the 1980s. Compared with Liverpool in the same city, it has really become a small club. If you want to become one of the rich families again, it's not just achievements. I'm afraid Everton has to change his boss first... For example, Chelsea.
※※※
In Moyes's concerns, the game is still going on.
Everton fans shouted very loudly, but they gradually found that in such an offensive battle, Everton did not have any advantage at all. It seems that the two teams are very popular, but in fact, careful observation will find that Liverpool's shooting threat is much greater than Everton's.
This is really depressing.
There's nothing they can do, but they can only cheer for the team. It doesn't feel good to be riding on the same city derby, but what can we do now? The team is behind, despite the first half...
The first half!!?
Fans suddenly thought of the first half of the game. Everton played very well. Although he also lost a goal, at least Everton took the lead with momentum, but now, it seems that there is nothing left?
"Shh..."
Soon, Everton fans were dissatisfied with the situation on the court. They felt that Everton suddenly became cowardly. Why didn't they stick to the tactics of the first half? Isn't it the best choice to kick those annoying Liverpool players out?
They kept shouting with dissatisfaction, trying to remind Moyes that the current team is in the wrong form.
However, Everton fans are not dissatisfied with Moyes. After Moyes came to Everton, he brought stable results to the team. In two years, Everton was about to be relegated to the fifth place in the league. Everton fans are very satisfied with Moyes. They just want to remind Moyes.
But this really doesn't have much effect.
Fans can see the situation. As a professional, why doesn't Moyes understand?
Everton did play a good game in the first half, but Moyes did not dare to continue in the second half. Many players restricted this, and he was thinking about everything for the team.
First of all, the physical fitness of Everton players is the most serious problem.
The situation in the first half is really good, but it is caused by the Everton players who do not hesitate to consume their physical strength, fight for the whole game, and strive for continuous fouls. This is a great physical consumption for players. Continuing such tactics, Everton players will not support it for a long time, and may also cause a lot to the body of some players. Continue to hurt, so, will they play in the next few rounds of the league?
In addition, the team's red and yellow cards are also a big problem.
Now the Everton main players on the field have two players who have won yellow cards in two consecutive games, that is to say, they are unlikely to play in the next league. In the first half of the game, Everton won so many yellow cards. If it goes on, Moyes will be worried about whether he can get a lineup in the next game.
The last point is that it really provokes the two teams to fight hard at all costs. Not to mention the loss, will Everton definitely win!?
Moyes has no confidence.
Everton was dominant in the first half, but in the last few minutes, his player was put down by the opponent's No. 10 in a row, which was also in the eyes of everyone. Liverpool's No. 10 tackle was constantly decisive, accurate, and very fierce. If he was put to the ground like that, it was really easy to get injured.
Coupled with Liverpool's Carragher, Gerrard and other generals, Everton has no advantage anywhere.
"You can only bully Harvey's soft egg!" As Don Jack said, which player on the Liverpool court can Everton bully after Alonso and Josemi are off the court?
At least, no one on the court is afraid of them now.
So the voice of Everton fans did not get any response. Moyes has decided that the team will continue to play with offense. In such a beautiful game, even if he loses, he can explain to Everton fans and the all-England media.
This... That's enough!
※※※
Such an offensive battle is obviously what Liverpool most wants to see, and it is also beneficial to Liverpool. Perhaps there is only one person who regrets it, that is Harvey. Alonso, this guy's eyes are full of resentment. Originally, he was best at such an offensive battle, but it began after his end...
He seems to have been abandoned by the team.
The Liverpool players on the court didn't care what Alonso thought. They played a good game. In the seventy-fourth minute of the game, Carragher got a chance on the side. His wonderful pass gave Don Jack another chance.
Obviously, Everton will not give up his defense against Don Jack even if he attacks.
However, this time, it may be due to physical energy consumption. Their defense was a little negligent. As a result, Don Jack had space to pass the ball on the right side of the penalty area. He hung the ball to the penalty area, and Gerald headed the ball to the penalty area line.
Carragher plugs in, waves his feet and shoots in one go!
I'm afraid Everton will never think that it was Carragher who made the last hit. This backfield general has made a lot of achievements in defense, but a long shot!!!? Who on earth has seen Carragher's long-range shot!?
Now, the fans of Goodson Stadium can see it.
But the quality is really not good... Just now, it was because of Carragher's best position that he had a chance. In the face of such a good opportunity, the English man actually kicked the ball lightly towards the goal. The flying speed of the football did not look like a man's ball at all. After shooting, Carragher rarely blushed once.
But Everton's goalkeeper is too nervous!
Just now, the spirit of goalkeeper Martin has been paying attention to Don Jack and Gerrard. Liverpool's biggest threat is these two men. As a result, Carragher's shot, he reacted for a long time, but the goalkeeper's subconscious reaction still spared Everton this time. Martin hit the ball out with two fists.
Seeing this scene, Moyes covered his face.
Such a 'soft' shot actually used a double boxing ball. Martin's defense was really bad. As a result, the football was in the penalty area again. Gerrard reacted very quickly. He found a good position at the first time, stuck and turned around and swung his legs to volley.
"Dong!"
A muffled sound to Everton seems to be the sound of the end.
The football flew into Martin's defense door, and Everton was two goals behind.
※※※
"The goal is scored! Steven-Gerard-!!!!!
After scoring the goal, the commentators from all over the world still shouted and scored the goal. For ordinary fans, in fact, the situation of the two teams just now is still very delicate. Everton is a little passive and one goal behind, but it is only one goal. It is really hard to predict who will win or lose in this kind of offensive battle.
But now this goal makes the victory and defeat much more clear.
Everton is two goals behind. Even at Goodson Park, it is not easy to chase two goals in less than 20 minutes. In the same city derby, such an amazing reversal can be recorded in history.
"Liverpool's midfield core Gerrard helped the team score the second goal, and they took the lead by two goals. There is not much time left for the home team Everton, but we believe that the next game will be more exciting.
"Although Everton is two goals behind, they still have a chance..." This sentence seemed to be a comfort. In order not to offend the Everton fans, the Sky TV commentator immediately changed the topic: "This game was very wonderful. Both teams showed a very high level of competition. Now the two goals are Liverpool's Jack. Lee and Gerrard, who are Liverpool's biggest players, also show the ability to play the biggest cards.
This is a game worth admiring for the fans watching the game, but it is a very heart-wry game for the players, fans and related personnel of the two teams.
This is especially true for the head coach.
In the same city derby, the most pressure is always the head coach. After Liverpool scored, the tension on Moyes' face disappeared. He was extremely relaxed, because he knew that the game was over by this time.
The same is true of Benitez.
The difference is that the Spaniard's face is still full of smiles, while Moyes's face is only relaxed.
※※※
Just like the expression of the head coaches of the two teams, the final score was not unexpected.
After Gerrard scored a goal, Liverpool immediately strengthened their defense and stabilized their defense to delay the game in order to win more steadily. Under the defense of the iron wall, it was not easy for Everton to score two goals in the 20th minute.
In fact, they still didn't score a goal in the last time.
Liverpool took the opportunity to score a goal. The goal was scored by the winger Riser. This guy's status in Liverpool is not good, and now he is about to become the team's marginal player.
This goal was too important for Riise. After the goal, Riise even burst into tears. He couldn't remember when he last goal was. In fact, this goal can be said to be given to Riise by Don Jack.
Taking advantage of a counterattack, Don Jack and Riser in the front court played two against one. After entering the penalty area, Don Jack did not shoot by himself, but passed the ball to Riser, which gave Riser the opportunity to shoot the goal. As a result, Riser also cherished the opportunity.
But no matter what, this goal will be recorded in Riser's name.
Riese is very grateful to Don Jack, because he knows that the ball just now Don Jack has a good chance to choose to shoot by himself. Moreover, Liverpool is in a good form and has almost won. At this time, if he can give the ball to his teammates, it is equivalent to giving up a ball, which is completely different from the beginning of the game.
But the big man looked very shy. He just hugged Jack Don excitedly and whispered, "Thank you."
"We are teammates!" Jack Don replied like this.
Riser was stunned and turned to a happy smile, "Yes, we are teammates!!"
However, Riesser's goal seemed to make Everton very dissatisfied. As a result, near the end of the game, Everton midfielder Graveson intended to target Liverpool players and make a very bad tackle. This guy seemed to be extremely angry.
Unfortunately, Graveson only received a red card in the end, and the Liverpool player was unharmed, just because he shoveled Don Jack.
After that, Don Jack ignored him at all and returned to his half-time waiting for the referee to whistle to signal the end of the game. He didn't think it was necessary to pay attention to this kind of guy. Anyway, he won the game, and he didn't lose anything from the collision just now. This guy was sent off with a red card, which was also his own fault.
※※※
Three to zero.
This is also the final score. The vigorous Liverpool derby was finally over, and Liverpool won another victory, leaving only a lament to the Everton fans at Goodson Park.
Fortunately, they are full of hope this season.
Losing Liverpool is not once or twice. They have lost for five years in a row. It doesn't matter if it's one more time. Many Everton fans have a completely adapted heart. Besides, Everton's results are very good this season, and Liverpool's results are better!
After the game, Benitez and Moyes no longer had the pre-match tension on their faces. Instead, they both looked very relaxed. At the press conference, Don Jack finally attended this time, and this time he really couldn't escape, because the FA asked Liverpool's Gerard and Don Jack to attend the press release. Will.
This round is too important.
This is a game that all England pays attention to. Liverpool's two goalscorers do not attend the press conference, the media has to make a fuss, and the FA is also concerned about their prestige.
Don Jack hates that others restrict him. He pursues freedom.
However, now he has a good relationship with the FA. It should be said that he is in a sweet period. The officials of the FA are trying to help him get a British passport, and he is likely to join the England team in the future. In this form, he has no reason to refuse the FA's request.
As a result, the reporters were excited!
"Jack, can you tell me how it feels to score a goal?" A reporter from The Sun asked.
"Nothing, it's just a goal, just the same as my previous goal."
Many media were a little dissatisfied. A reporter asked, "But this is a goal for Everton!"
"For me, any team is the same." Don Jack smiled and said, "I've only been to Anfield for half a year. I think I may not be used to it here. For me, Everton is no different from Crystal Palace and Birmingham. They are the opponents of our league. We can get points from them, that's all."
The reporters can't refute this, but they still want to hear the bad relationship between the two teams.
Fortunately, Gerrard lived up to his expectations.
"I'm very happy because I scored another goal in the game against Everton." Gerrard said, "Everton has always been our biggest opponent. I will be very happy to score goals in such a game, especially in this stadium. I will feel comfortable from the bottom of my heart."
This really annoys Everton reporters!
It's Gerrard who can't say anything. As a child who grew up in Liverpool, as a pure Liverpool fan, and as a player who has played for Liverpool since childhood, Gerrard has reason to hate Everton.
This is just his heart.
Hearing this, Don Jack also laughed. He seemed to have influenced Gerrard. In the past, Gerrard might have been able to say the same thing as himself, but now Gerrard has said what's in his heart. This is not easy. For professional players, it is also necessary to face the hypocrisy of media reporters. Well, Gerrard can do this, which shows that he is really in a good mood now.
After interviewing the two goal-scoring players, the reporters were concerned about Benitez and Moyes. They wanted to see what the two sworn enemy-like coaches would perform. Of course, it would be better for them to have a hand-to-hand fight at the press conference. In that case, they would have more entertainment revelations.
Unfortunately, both of them are silent and rarely mention the hatred of the two teams.
They are just talking about the game.
Benitez said: "The opponent's strength is very strong. They suppressed us with the whole game in the first half, which made us breathless. Our players performed very poorly. Fortunately, in the second half, our efforts were rewarded, which made us win the game."
Next, he talked about the performance of the team's players.
"Jack and Steven performed very well, and Harvey performed poorly." Speaking of this, Benitez stopped and continued, "He has not fully adapted to the fierce league, and he is still young. In a few months, he will be one of the team's most important players."
This kind of evaluation is very pertinent, and the expectations are also very high, but the reporters and media know that this is the official language. As Liverpool's coach, in front of the media, even if he is dissatisfied with a player, he will praise it very much, unless he wants to sell the player.
Obviously, this is impossible for Alonso.
In the tacit understanding between the two sides and the helplessness of the reporters, the post-match press conference of the vigorous derby war was tee and tee, which made people quite unable to see through.
Fortunately, many reporters are not without anything to do, because in an hour, there will be a top battle of 'Chelsea VS Arsenal' in London. Many reporters from small media are rushing to London to interview the game scene and post-match matters.
From Liverpool to London... Maybe it's too late to go now.
