Chapter 70 Unusual Match

The game is about to begin. After two weeks on the court, Li Yu disappeared and stood back in the player's channel waiting to enter. This time, he did not chat with his teammates as easily as usual, but closed his eyes and felt the shouts of the fans on the court.

Everton fans are working hard to cheer for the home team, which is more than the previous sound that can be felt at a time. This is not an ordinary league, but a Merseyside Derby.

Li Yu is not only quiet, but also the other players of the two teams are particularly careful. Even the greetings of the players of the two teams in the player channel are saved. They have a clear understanding of each other, and no one wants to break it.

Suddenly, the sound in the court reached its peak, and the players of the two teams began to enter the field.

The loud shouts of Everton fans failed to hide the boos of Liverpool fans. From the beginning, the fans did their best to give their own strength to the teams they supported.

Li Yu felt such an atmosphere for the first time. Standing on the court, she felt like a soldier who was going to the battlefield and was being reviewed by the people. He had forgotten all about it for a long time, and there was only one idea in his mind, "For the fans who shout hard in front of them, they must win the game!"

His idea is definitely the voice of all Everton players, and it is impossible to stand there without being infected by the atmosphere of the scene.

Liverpool players also did not give in. They looked solemnly one by one, waiting for the battle to start. The red uniforms were particularly eye-catching in the blue ocean. As Liverpool players, what they had to do was to conquer Everton, the owner of the whole blue ocean.

Spanish golden boy Torres was not seen in Liverpool's lineup. According to the media, the unfortunate Spaniard felt discomfort in his calf during the warm-up before the game and was temporarily adjusted out of the game list. His first Merseyside Derby could only be in the second half of the season.

The law enforcement referee in this game is Kratenberg, a professional plumber. He was born in Newcastle and is naturally a fan of Magpie. For this reason, he has never enforced a game in Newcastle. In 2006, the 30-year-old Krattenberg became a FIFA referee, such a heavyweight game. The FA sent a very experienced referee to enforce the law, and everyone couldn't figure out what kind of consideration the FA was based on.

This is the 206th Merseyside derby in history and the 177th meeting between the two teams in the league. Previously, Liverpool had an advantage of 65 wins, 55 draws and 56 losses. However, in two matches last season, the Reds not only failed to score a goal with 1 draw and 1 loss, but also suffered the worst defeat in the derby in 42 years after a three-goal defeat in Goodison Park.

If you just look at the last season's match, Everton undoubtedly has an advantage, but the recent decline has made them have to be favored by the visiting team by the media at home. In fact, it is not very important for the media to be optimistic about which team. The key is to play in the field.

At the beginning of the game, the two teams pulled the pace of the game very fast. The two teams did not intend to test their opponents at all, but directly launched the attack.

"The game was so fierce at the beginning. I will quickly introduce the lineup of the two teams. First of all, the visiting team Liverpool. In this game, Liverpool's three fierce players are Torres, Alonso and Ague. There is a lack of general at both ends of the attack and defense. In desperation, Benis had to send. No. 10 Voronin, No. 18 Kuite partnered with the front line, while No. 6 Riese, No. 4 Haipia, No. 23 Carague, No. 3 Fennan are responsible for defense. The midfields are No. 11 Benayong, No. 20 Mascherano, No. 8 Gerard, No. 22 Sisoko, a relatively balanced offensive and defensive formation, and the goalkeeper is still West. "Banya Reina."

"The biggest change in Everton's lineup and the previous games is the front line. Chinese player Li Yu started the game, and the young player Anichebe and Moyes sent a double-fast combination on the front line. It seems that Moyes wants to hit the opponent with speed in this game. Some old defensive combinations, in the midfield, No. 6 Atta, No. 16 Yagelka, No. 18 Phil Neville, No. 21 Osman, such combinations have nothing to say. They are all regular main players. Everton still has certain limitations in the configuration of players. There are not too many players to choose from, Mo Yess has nothing to hide. Similarly, the defense line is full of old faces, but the young player Baines did not start. This is a small change. According to the analysis of the local media, Baines, who has excellent assist ability, may have a greater chance of starting, and Hibbert, who replaces him, may be more on Defense, the other defenders are No. 4 Yabo, No. 15 Stubbs, No. 5 Lyscott, not to mention the goalkeeper position, Yankee Howard will definitely start!"

Su Dong made a simple analysis and introduction to the lineup of the two teams.

Standing on the field, Li Yu heard the abuse of Everton fans for the first time. Everton fans shouted for their support for the team while not forgetting to hit their opponents.

The situation is definitely a little crazy, and so are Liverpool fans. They hit the home fans back at a time with neat, orderly and unified shouts. Of course, their shouts can't be too clean. As soon as the game began, the fans of the two teams took the lead in opening fire.

Everton players who have a home advantage of course understand what the fans want, and the shouts of tens of thousands of people are added to their will, which makes them fearless.

At this time, Li Yu also felt that the blood in her body was boiling, especially when she heard the fans shouting her name, what was it?

In such a game, the tactical arrangement of the head coaches of the two teams is truly reflected in the court. In fact, there is nothing left. Only some fundamental things have been retained. The players on the field are more fighting with their own instincts and full of blood. This game is more like a war!

As a home team, Everton caught the empty space behind Riser at the beginning. Arteta found Li Yu with a beautiful direct pass. The latter fully played his speed advantage and decisively cut inside. Before Haipia went forward and blocked it, he started with a strong shot. Renner reacted quickly, but Li Yu shot the ball and It was not as easy to deal with as he thought. Renner, who originally wanted to hold the ball, found that something was wrong and immediately changed his hand shape to hit the ball out.

Fortunately, Liverpool's protection near the penalty area was in place. Mascherano stopped the ball and did not give Everton a second chance to attack.

Then, Liverpool began his own counterattack. After the transition, the ball was handed over to Gerrard's feet. Needless to say, Gerrard must be the key person to take care of in Everton's midfield. As soon as he wanted to turn around, he was knocked down by Osman who rushed up with the ball.

The referee on duty, Kratenberg, immediately whistled and awarded Liverpool a free kick, while Gerrard's playing action in his hand has attracted huge boos from home fans. Such a game, even a small action will be infinitely magnified, not to mention such an obvious card action.

Gerard soon realized his mistake, and the scolding that could not be concealed in the boos, finally made him realize that maybe his habitual movements would also be restrained.

Soon after the start of the game, there was the first kick, and soon the feet of the players of the two teams began to become rough. Give it to me, and I will give it to you on the court. The British football culture is so simple and straightforward. Although it seems more or less stupid, the fans at the scene very much agree with this way of playing. This is especially true in the Westside Derby.

Li Yu was immediately beaten by the other party, so she followed Huang Jianxiang's voice, "Be careful!"

Liverpool player Sissoc's feet have arrived, tackling the ball and kicking people directly.

TMD! What do you want to do!" Li Yu lifted her socks, pointed to the two big red marks on the edge of her calves and roared.

Sissocco replied to Li Yu's anger with an innocent face. He didn't say anything, and the referee Krattenberg seemed to believe him and didn't say anything. It was still a free kick.

The referee's inaction made the two sides more and more angry, and as a newcomer to the Derby, Li Yu also attracted the rotation of Liverpool players, but the referee seemed to forget to bring a red and yellow card, and did not take out any of them.

After Li Yu was put down by Benayong again, he finally couldn't help it. Although the lightweight Benayong's action was smaller than before, his foot was more out of the idea of a tactical foul, and there was no kicking action. However, Li Yu, who was kicked in a hurry, couldn't distinguish so much and rushed directly to the referee Kratenberg. Are you blind?"

Although Li Yu said Mandarin, the referee did not understand half a word, but depending on the action expression, the referee still came from the first yellow card of the game according to his own judgment, and its owner was Li Yu, who had been knocked down the most times since the start of the game.

Cratenberg ran away quickly with a blank face. He didn't want to usher in the encirclement of the players, and after Li Yu found that he got the yellow card, he was much more sober. "Uncle, why is my card so strange!"

Chinese domestic fans have been scolding for a long time. If it hadn't been thousands of miles away, they would have to spray the referee on duty. Kratenberg's yellow card offended many people. At least the term black whistle is not too far away from him. I guess he didn't think of it.

The two commentators at the scene are also helping, but they are also worried about Li Yu, "It's a little bit of Chinese football. Li Yu should be careful of the defensive actions behind, but don't be too extreme to be targeted by the referee!"

"In fact, from another perspective, it is because Li Yu is threatened that he will be treated like this by his opponent, but the Red Army will lose a lot of fans in China!"
