Chapter 313 Shake

The halftime break can be said to be a mess.

It is the first time that Liverpool's newcomers have gone through such a chaotic midfield time. The player's channel is blocked by a large number of reporters. If they want to take a break, they can only 'escape' to the locker room, and they have to close the door tightly to prevent those Everton fans who dare to break through the court cordon to rush in and make trouble.

Not only that, the atmosphere of the team is not very good.

The first half of the game was a real tragedy for Alonso and Josemi. The two were kicked by the Everton players. They also had blood, but their 'weakness' made them not adapt to this kind of game at all. When they took the ball, they immediately had Everton players staring at it. The feeling that they could 'fall down' at any time was really not good.

Don Jack is a little annoyed.

Don Jack can understand the incompatibility caused by the different styles of the two leagues, but he can't get used to the 'cowardice' that Alonso shows, and the other side plays like that. Alonso is still weak, as if the wind blows down, but in fact, Alonso is stronger than ordinary players. It's true.

His anger was also due to the rudeness of the Everton players.

In the first half of the game, it is not a football match. Starting from 20 minutes, it is a real hand-to-hand fight. There is really no difference between such a football and a wrestling match. Sure enough, just like the media commented, the Liverpool derby is a real war.

However, in anger, Don Jack enjoys this kind of game.

This may be because the internal force in his body is playing something wrong, or he has an internal force that ordinary people don't have, and he has a surprising ability in hand-to-hand combat. But usually, this ability has been suppressed, as if it has no effect at all, but now, it can be played. He even feels that the meridians in his body are a little loose, very There are some signs of breakthrough.

But others don't think so.

Carragher, the strong man of the team, looked aggressive, but in fact, this guy has already won a yellow card in the first half, and his movements have restrained a lot. But no one worried about him. Carragher stood there and had a great deterrent to his opponents.

What everyone is more confused about is Jack Don.

In normal times, Jack Don doesn't participate in defense most of the time, so no one thinks about how the No. 10 boy's defensive ability is, and when Jack Don participates in defense, his running position is really not good. It is likely that the running position disturbs the team's formation, so no one in Liverpool expects Jack Don to participate. Defend, reduce the pressure of the team's defense.

But now Don Jack is involved in the defense. In the face of the rough Everton, the effect he brings is surprisingly good. At the end of the first half, at least five Everton players fell at the boy's feet.

"This boy is so cruel!!" Alonso is worried.

Other players also praised Don Jack for showing his fierce shoveling ability.

They don't say it verbally, because there is really no lively atmosphere at halftime. It's noisy outside, and Everton obviously won't prepare any beautiful locker rooms for Liverpool. In fact, the visiting team's locker room at Goodson Stadium is already very bad. Before the game, the Everton staff was very It has also been 'transformed' here, and the environment can be imagined.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for head coach Benitez to appear in the locker room to calm everyone's mood.

"We are ahead!"

After arriving at the locker room, Benitez didn't seem to be able to find any topic. He has always wanted to have some obstacles in communicating with the players, which made him mysterious and strange in the hearts of the players. Of course, he did not have much deterrent. He first mentioned the first half of the game and stressed that the team performed well. No matter how passive the situation is, anyway, we are in the lead. Everton has an advantage again, and they are behind.

But this is a derby!

If you don't play momentum, winning alone can't stop the fans. Even if they win, I'm afraid Liverpool fans will not be satisfied, because they will be laughed at by Everton fans. Therefore, Benitez still has to emphasize this point.

"In the second half, let go of the kick, and we will defeat them with attack!"

This is equivalent to not saying that Benitez seemed to know this, so he began to really arrange the offensive tactics of the second half, and constantly emphasized that the players' movements were bigger at the right time, as long as they were careful not to get hurt, which was completely contrary to what he said before the game.

Obviously, Benitez was under a lot of pressure in the first half.

I'm afraid that only a limited number of players such as Don Jack, Gerrard and Carragher are satisfied with Liverpool fans. Alonso's sissy, no matter how good he performs in other games, has dropped a lot in the hearts of Liverpool fans.

So, Alonso was replaced.

He was replaced by Dior, who has always been in an unstable state. This guy was Liverpool's main player last season, but now he can only become a marginal player, but Dior dares to fight on the court. Benitez obviously did this to protect Alonso and let Dior fight. Anyway, he would not be distressed if the latter was injured.

And Don Jack, Gerrard and others still stay on the court.

Josemi, Alonso and Josemi, the two Spanish players who were replaced, were not used to the game. Alonso was replaced, and Josemi could not run.

Cowell got a chance.

In fact, Cowell's strength can be guaranteed, but his state is not stable. Sometimes his performance is a mess, which makes Benitez sigh, but sometimes, Cowell can even play Gerard's level and become the best player in the game, and sometimes has a creative goal.

Now in the Liverpool team, Cowell is the player that Benitez uses to 'create miracles'. Unfortunately, Liverpool has been playing smoothly recently, and he has no chance to create miracles.

Two central forwards were replaced in one breath. Benitez's meaning was self-evident. He just wanted the team to play better in the second half, not to make Everton arrogant.

Even so, this is at Goodson Stadium.

※※※

On the other side, Everton is also arranging the second half of tactics.

Different from Benitez's concerns, Everton is worried about their score. In the first half, Aston's momentum came out, and few Everton fans would be dissatisfied with the game, but at the same time, they fell behind.

If you just play with momentum and don't win, that won't work!

Benitez demands perfection, and so does Everton coach Moyes. He feels that if he can win or even play a draw, the game will be perfect for Everton. Liverpool in the same city have no confidence to laugh at them, at least in the next match. It didn't have before.

It's not easy to score a goal!

Everton said to have an advantage, but in fact, only in terms of hand-to-hand combat, Everton can let go of playing football because they don't have big stars, and they are obviously more open to play with a hateful team like Liverpool, but it is also because they are too involved in 'hand-to-hand combat' that their offense is not very good. Less Liverpool held it.

Two different reasons lead to the same result.

During the halftime, Moyes also arranged the offensive tactics of the second half. He asked the players to reduce the rush at the beginning and focus on the attack.

The whole game is good, but playing like this consumes too much physical energy. Everton obviously can't support the whole game like this. Suddenly, if you can score a goal, then the hand-to-hand fight will end the game, and Everton will be a perfect victory.

In the final analysis, Moyes and Benitez still dare not really fight.

The two clubs are sworn enemies, which does not mean that the head coaches of the two teams are willing to give up the team's results in order to win the sworn enemy. Whether it is Liverpool or Everton, their opponents in the league are more than the other. Liverpool are going to compete for the league championship. The main opponents are Chelsea and Arsenal, and Everton wants to compete for Europe. For admission tickets, they need to ensure that the lineup is complete to have more opportunities.

They can't give up everything for the same city derby.

In that case, even if they defeat their opponents in the same city in two rounds of a season, they will need to change jobs next season. It is impossible for the club to only hire a coach who defeats opponents in the same city without results. Otherwise, what will they do next season?

※※※

With the tacit understanding of the coaches of the two teams, the second half of the game began soon.

The atmosphere at Gooderson Park is still hot, and the commentators of various TV stations are already ready to go. Not only the fans, but also they are fascinated by this hot derby battle.

Some commentators who came into contact with this kind of game for the first time sighed: "It is said that Real Madrid and Barcelona are the highest-rated derby in the world, but watching this Liverpool derby, the Spanish derby is as boring as a family."

Yes!

In just the first half, referee Rennie has taken out seven yellow cards, which is much higher than the league average, not to mention the second half. Now no one will doubt that there will be a red card in the second half, which is almost certain.

Everton's full-back Martin, central defender Stubbs, midfielder Osman, Graveson, and Liverpool Carragher, Harman, Gerrard and even Don Jack may be sent off. In the first half, these people's movements are very big. If they are angry in the second half, they will not get one or two yellow cards at all. Strange.

When the players of the two teams entered, the pictures of various TV stations had returned to the game scene from the live broadcast room. The commentator of a Chinese live broadcast website also began to introduce the game in detail: "This is the groom's live broadcast room. Now it is the 17th round of the 2004-2005 Premier League, Everton Liverpool derby against Liverpool at home. Now the game has reached the beginning of the second half, and the players of the two teams have entered the stadium.

"In the first half of the game, Liverpool's No. 10 striker Jack. Li scored the only goal, and Liverpool led by one goal. In the first half, the game between the two sides was very fierce, and all the players were very big. In the first half, the referee had already taken out seven yellow cards.

"Let's take a look at the live fans. These Liverpool fans are wearing red jerseys. Now, they all stand up and sing Liverpool's team songs together, and on the other side are the fans of the home team Everton. In terms of the number of people, the number of fans of the two teams is not much different, and they occupy the stands on both sides.

"Liverpool derby has always been like this. The Football League attaches great importance to derby. In 2001, they introduced a relevant bill stipulating that a derby in the same city, stadium tickets must sell the same number of tickets for the two teams, which is to prevent fan riots... Let's take a look... There is no guardrail on the court. If there are fans who are emotional and rush into the court, it will definitely cause large-scale chaos. Fortunately, Liverpool's police attach great importance to this game. There are also a large number of police officers on the court. They are just to prevent accidents..."

In the nag of the commentator, the players of the two teams are ready to kick off.

With the whistle of referee Reni, the second half of the game officially began. Liverpool quickly formed a formation, and Everton did not give in. The on-site media reporters were excited about this scene, and they were looking forward to shooting more hot scenes.

Especially Liverpool's No. 10's shovel in the first half, which is really rare in the league.

※※※

But soon, the reporters at the scene found that they were wrong.

Liverpool and Everton suddenly changed their style and fought a beautiful offensive battle!

On weekdays, such an offensive battle will certainly attract the attention of many fans, just like Arsenal is more popular with fans, because their football is more offensive, better-looking and attractive, but for the same city derby, especially Liverpool, and even the most popular Liverpool derby in Europe, The attack war is completely meaningless. The media reporter came to interview with a hand-to-hand battle.

It's just that their ideas can't stop the game on the field.

The two teams did fight against each other, which can also be said to be a tough battle. The two teams are very stable when attacking. The kind of driving is bound to score goals, but the reporters on the sidelines are irritable.

On the contrary, the fans of the two teams have different ideas!

They don't have to watch the derby. As long as their team can suppress their opponents in momentum, they will be very happy. Now the two teams are evenly divided. There are sometimes beautiful players on the court. Such a game is really attractive, and their side has not lost momentum, which makes The fans are very satisfied.

Speaking of real offense, compared with the strength of the two teams, Everton and Liverpool are really not allowed to give up.

The core of Everton is the central forward Cahill, and Carlsley. These two players are the backbone of Everton's midfield and are also the team's big stars. Everton coach Moyes prefers mediocre players. He has always believed that the team needs to suppress the opponent as a whole to have good and stable results, rather than a big star above the team, leading some mediocre players to play, which can only make mediocre players more mediocre, even outside the team.

Therefore, Everton can achieve its current achievements, and its overall cooperation ability cannot be poor.

And Liverpool obviously focuses more on stars. In fact, almost every big team has such a characteristic. They have a stable core in the midfield, such as Ronaldinho of Barcelona, Pirlo of AC Milan, and Lampard of Chelsea. Liverpool is of course Gerrard.

These are all famous stars, and their performance can bring the team a stable offensive.

If you add one or two strike killers in front of these midfield stars, then the offensive structure of a team will be perfect. Most of the other players are assistant-level players. They don't need to perform too well. They just need to be able to do their job well and make the team's perfect machine run, which is enough.

This is the difference between a rich team and an Everton team.

Now, two teams with different structures are playing against each other with offense!

※※※

Everton's guard Will took the ball. After breaking through Cowell on the side, he passed it to Stubbs in the middle, who kicked Hibbert back.

Hibbert took the ball. As a central defender, he rarely inserted assists. This time, it was the same. After receiving the pass, he transferred the ball directly to Carlsley in front of him.

As Everton's leading star player, Carlsley's personal ability is affirmed. Although he is not as shiny as a real star, at least it is enough to drive Everton's machine to run. After receiving the pass, Carlsley shakes away Gerrard's steal and makes a precise The ball is handed over to the side, where is Kilbarney.

Everton's offensive has begun!

The Liverpool player also realized this, and the side player immediately chased Kilbarney and blocked his cross route. As Bent's partner, Kilbani was on the left side of the game. Head coach Moyes wanted him to cooperate with the team's sideline and use his speed to make a raid.

Kilbarney also did his job. After receiving the ball, he quickly carried the ball to the bottom line. At this time, the Liverpool defender had not yet defended. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kilbarney immediately hung the ball into the penalty area.

Bente! Ferguson!

Two central defenders of Everton rushed into the penalty area to grab the point. Carragher was a little overwhelmed, and Haipia did not react. As a result, Ferguson, who had just come on as a substitute in the second half, competed for the point. Unfortunately, he seemed to be a little nervous and kicked the ball crooked. The football flew directly out of the bottom line from the right side, causing the Everton players to sigh.

However, they applauded quickly.

Everton fans applaud the new center. In fact, earning the ball shows that Ferguson's performance is already very good.

The pace of attack and defense on the field is very fast. Everton has just shot once, and Liverpool's attack came.

Gerrard will always be the main theme!

Perhaps, many people are tired of hearing the name Gerrard in the Liverpool game, but this proves the importance of Gerrard in the game. This time, after Gerrard received the pass near the center line, he made two two-to-one cooperations with Dior and Carragher. With this small continuous pass, Everton defenders had no choice.

Then, Gerard scored the ball to the right foot of the penalty area.

It's Don Jack!

In the second half, Everton played an offensive battle, and only Stabbs was the only one defending Don Jack. On his right foot, Stabbs was still two meters away from Don Jack. Don Jack easily received the pass, and then squeezed Stabbs directly, and turned right and waved his leg to shoot directly!

Dong!

Thunderstorming!

As soon as the heavy cannon came out, it aroused the call of "goal" from Liverpool fans in the audience, and even Everton head coach Moyes stood up from his seat in shock.

"It's okay..."

The football was thrown out by the Everton goalkeeper.

This beautiful save did not attract the praise of Everton fans, because they were still worried about the shot just now. At this time, they realized the horror of the opponent's No. 10 scorer: when you are still watching the game, a sudden shot outside the penalty area is likely to turn into a goal.

This ability...?

Can Everton withstand the next blow?

Moyes suddenly regretted that he should let the players fight to the end. He still underestimated Liverpool's No. 10. Such a player could not be reasonable in the first place. Is it equivalent to handing over the victory to the opponent to fight against Liverpool in this way?

For the first time, Moyes wavered his tactical concept - is the star really useless? But...
