The spn game was about to start. After Li Yu disappeared from the court for two weeks, he stood in the tunnel again waiting to enter the court. This time he did not chat with his teammates as usual, but felt the court alone with his eyes closed.
The fans cheered loudly.
Everton fans are cheering for the home team hard, and the louder sound than before makes people feel that this is not an ordinary league, but a Merseyside derby.
Not only Li Yu was quiet, but the other players of the two teams were also extremely careful. Even the usual pleasantries between the players of the two teams in the player tunnel were spared. They had a clear boundary with each other and no one wanted to break it.
Suddenly the noise in the stadium reached its peak and players from both teams began to enter.
The huge shouts of the Everton fans could not cover up the boos of the Liverpool fans. From the beginning, the fans tried their best to give their strength to the teams they supported.[
It was the first time that Li Yu felt such an atmosphere. Standing in the stadium, he felt like a soldier about to go to the battlefield and was being reviewed by the people. He had forgotten all about the chicken man and only had one thought in his mind.
"The fans who are shouting hard for the sake of the fans must win the game!"
His thoughts are definitely the thoughts of all Everton players. It is impossible to stand there and not be infected by the atmosphere of the scene.
The Liverpool players did not give in. They all looked solemn, waiting for the war to begin. 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 entire blue ocean.
The Spanish golden boy Torres was not seen in Liverpool's lineup. According to the news obtained by 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 squad. His first
The Merseyside derby is only available in the second half of the season.
The referee of this game is Clattenberg, who is a plumber by profession. He was born in Newcastle and is naturally a fan of the Magpies. For this reason, he has never officiated a Newcastle game. In 2006, the then 30-year-old Clattenberg became the FF
Referee, for such an important game, the Football Association sent a referee who was not very experienced to referee. No one can figure out what the Football Association's considerations were.
This campaign is the 206th Merseyside derby in history and the 177th meeting between the two clubs in the league. Previously, Liverpool had the advantage with 65 wins, 55 draws and 56 losses. However, the Reds faced off twice last season.
Not only did they fail to score a goal in a draw and a loss, but they also suffered the worst defeat in a derby match in 42 years with a three-goal defeat at Goodison Park.
If you just look at last season's matchup, it is doubtful that Everton had the advantage, but their recent decline has forced them to be favored by the media against the away team at home. In fact, it doesn't matter which team the media favors, the key lies in the performance on the field.
play.
At the beginning of the game, the two teams accelerated the pace of the game very quickly. The two teams had no intention of testing their opponents and directly started attacking.
"The game was so intense from the beginning. Let me quickly introduce to you the lineups of the two teams. The first is the visiting team Liverpool. In this game, Liverpool's three strong players in the front, middle and back are sitting on the sidelines, namely Torres, Alonso and Alonso.
Due to the lack of generals on both offense and defense, Benix had no choice but to send No. 10 Wo
Ronin and No. 18 Kuyt partner on the front line, while No. 6 Riise, No. 4 Hyypia, No. 23 Carragher, and No. 3 Finnan are responsible for defense in the defense. In the midfield, No. 11 Benayoun and No. 20 Ma
Scherano, No. 8 Gerrard, and No. 22 Sissoko form a relatively balanced offensive and defensive formation, and the goalkeeper is Spanish Reina."
"The biggest change in Everton's lineup from the previous games is the forward line. Chinese player Li Yu started the game, and the teenagers Anichebe and Moyes who cooperated with him sent a double-speed combination up front. It seems that this
In every game, Moyes wants to use speed to impact his opponents.
An older defense combination. In the midfield, No. 6 Arteta, No. 16 Jagielka, No. 18 Phil Neville, and No. 21 Osman have nothing to say about this combination. They are all regular main players.
Players, Everton still has certain limitations in terms of player configuration.
, there are not too many players to choose from, and Moyes has nothing to hide. The defense line is also full of old faces, but the fact that the young player Baynes did not start is a small change.
According to the analysis of local media, Bain, who has excellent assist ability
Si may have a greater chance of starting, and Hibbert, who replaces him, may be more defensive. The other defenders are No. 4 Yabo, No. 15 Stubbs, and No. 5 Lescott.
Needless to say, American Howard will definitely start!"
Su Dong briefly analyzed and introduced the two teams' lineups in one breath.
Li Yu stood in the stadium and heard the insults from Everton fans for the first time. Everton fans not only cheered for their support of the team, but also did not forget to attack their opponents.
The situation was definitely a bit crazy, and so were the Liverpool fans. They responded to the home fans with neat, orderly and unified shouts. Of course, their shouts could not be too clean. The game had just begun, and the fans of both teams
He had already opened fire first.
Everton players, who have the home advantage, certainly understand what the fans want, and the will of tens of thousands of people shouting and investing in them makes them fearful.
Li Yu also felt the blood in his body boiling at this time, especially when he heard the fans shouting his name, it didn't matter if he broke his leg!
In such a game, the tactical arrangements of the head coaches of the two teams are truly reflected on the court. In fact, there is nothing left, only some basic things remain. The players on the court are more using their own instincts and full of passion.
Fight hard, this game is more like a war!
As the home team, Everton seized the space behind Riise at the beginning. Arteta found Li Yu with a beautiful through ball. The latter fully utilized his speed advantage and cut inside decisively.
Before Ya stepped forward to block the ball, he started with a powerful shot. Reina reacted quickly, but the ball shot by Li Yu was not as easy to deal with as he thought. Reina, who originally wanted to save the ball, realized something was wrong and immediately changed his mind.
Use your hands to hit the ball.
Fortunately, Liverpool's protection near the penalty area was relatively good. Mascherano blocked the ball and did not give Everton a chance to attack again.
Afterwards, Liverpool started their own counterattack. After a two-foot transition, the ball was handed to Gerrard's feet. Needless to say, Gerrard must be the focus of Everton's midfield. Just as he was about to turn around, he
Osman, who was rushed forward, knocked him down with a kick and the ball.[
The referee on duty, Clattenburg, immediately blew the whistle and awarded Liverpool a free kick. However, Gerrard's hand gestures for playing cards attracted huge boos from the home fans. Even a small move in such a game would be restricted.
Zoom in, not to mention such an obvious move to ask for cards.
Gerrard quickly realized his mistake, and the curses that could not be covered up by the boos finally made him realize that he might have to restrain his habitual actions.
The first kick came shortly after the opening, and soon the players from both teams began to play rough. Give it to me, and I will give it to you on the court. British football culture is so simple and direct, even though this
It seems somewhat silly, but the fans at the scene highly approve of this way of playing, especially in the Merseyside derby.
Li Yu was immediately cruelly kicked by the opponent, and then Huang Jianxiang shouted, "Be careful!"
Liverpool player Sissoko was already there with both feet, making a tackle and kicking someone directly.
"TM! What do you want to do!" Li Yu opened his socks, pointed at the two big red marks on the edge of his calf and roared.
Sissoko responded to Li Yu's anger with an innocent look on his face and didn't say anything. The referee Clattenberg seemed to believe him, saying nothing and still giving a free kick.
The referee's inaction made the two sides more and more angry. As a newcomer to Derby, Li Yu was also taken care of by the Liverpool players in turn. However, the referee seemed to have forgotten to bring the red and yellow cards and did not even take out any of them.
After Li Yu was knocked down by Benayoun again, he finally couldn't bear it anymore. Although the lightweight Benayoun's movements were smaller than before, his kick was more out of the idea of a tactical foul, and there was no connection.
The action of kicking someone, but Li Yuke, who was in a hurry, couldn't distinguish that much, and rushed directly to the referee Clattenberg, "Are you fucking blind?"
Although Li Yuliu spoke Mandarin with all his heart, the referee did not understand even a single word. However, looking at his movements and expressions, the referee still based his own judgment on the first yellow card of the game, and its owner was
Li Yu has been knocked down the most times since the start of the game.
Clattenburg ran away quickly with an expression on his face. He didn't want to be surrounded by players. However, Li Yu found out that after receiving the yellow card, he became more awake. "Damn it, why are my cards so weird!"
The fans in China have already started to curse. If they weren't thousands of miles away, they would have to yell at the referee to death. Clattenberg's yellow card offended many people. At least the term "black whistle" is not too far away from him. I guess he
I didn't even think of it.
The two on-site commentators were also helping, but they were also worried about Li Yu, "It's a bit like Chinese football. Li Yu should be careful about his defensive moves, and don't be too aggressive and get caught by the referee!"
"Actually, from another perspective, it is because Li Yu is a threat that he is treated like this by his opponents. However, the Red Army will lose fans in China after one game!"
