641, red and blue intertwined grievances
Everton's most popular nickname is, of course, the Toffees, but they are called "cousins" by Liverpool fans in China.
The city of Liverpool is home to two historic top-flight clubs, and although Liverpool and the city share the same name, the Toffees were the city's first team, and it was 14 years after they were founded, when some of the shareholders chose to start a new business due to concerns between shareholders......
So the two clubs actually have the same roots, and it's not wrong to call each other brothers and sisters.
In the early decades, the relationship between Liverpool and Everton was not too strained, and the two teams became the traditional powerhouses of English football.
Liverpool have won 18 top-flight titles, Everton have also won nine, and they have won European competitions respectively, especially in the 70s and 80s of the 20th century, when Liverpool's football represented almost the whole of England.
However, the English team was banned from European competitions for five years after the Liverpool club suffered two tragic incidents in a row, and in the 1985 Champions League final, a match between Liverpool and Juventus at Heysel, which resulted in the deaths of 39 people.
But before the five-year ban was over, Liverpool suffered an even more tragic scene in the FA Cup match against Nottingham Forest: at Hillsborough, 96 fans died in a chaotic crowd, and the consequences shocked the world.
For the sake of the image of the country and the government, the then ruling Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher put all the blame for the accident on the Liverpool club, and under the instructions of the government, the officials tampered with the investigation report and concealed the truth of the accident, and the witnesses also chose to shut up.
Ninety-six ghosts have hovered over England for more than 20 years, and they have not dispersed to this day.
The two massacres have made football a "hooligan sport" in England for a time, the government has spared no effort to clean up and straighten things out, Everton fans and many other club fans have also turned their anger on Liverpool because of the European ban, and the relationship between the two teams has finally changed from an ordinary competition with tenderness to a tense rivalry in the same city.
With the establishment of the Premier League, Manchester completely replaced Liverpool's position in English football, whether it is Liverpool or Everton, can no longer touch the trophy that symbolizes the highest honor of English football, into the new century, although Liverpool ushered in a short period of glory, but Everton's results have not improved, the derby of the two weak teams, the gunpowder smell of the game seems to be getting weaker and weaker.
But for the real Liverpool and Everton fans, the two games they value most throughout the season are still direct conversations between the same city, and even the former American owner has to pay attention to this derby.
The system has long told Lonshette that in the original history, the result of this game was 1-1, and Rodgers also went down after this draw.
In the current situation, even if such a result is repeated, Lonshette will not sack the manager, because even if they lost the double red club and drew with Norwich, Liverpool are still leading the table.
Not to mention...... How could this game be a draw?!
-
"Everton's midfielder Barry was once seen as Alonso's replacement when he played for Aston Villa a few years ago, and was eagerly awaited by Reds fans at the time, but the homegrown midfielder did not come to Anfield after all, but went to Liverpool's city rivals, which may also be an arrangement of fate!"
Zhan Tianjun's tone showed no regret at all.
Because this Gareth Barry is 34 years old and has long passed his prime.
More because Liverpool, which he supported, was dominated by the opponent after the opening game and firmly controlled the situation.
For Everton, there is no such thing as a defensive crunch, a win would be a coward's act, especially since their manager is a Spaniard, Roberto Martinez.
The little-known young manager's biggest accolade was the FA Cup triumph with Wigan Athletic in 2013, as well as a League One title in 2007/08......
After taking charge of Everton in 2013, he led the Toffees to a new best Premier League finish with 72 points and qualified for the Europa League.
But perhaps it was the third-tier battle that distracted the club, and in the 14-15 season, Everton stopped in the last 16 of the Europa League, and only won 47 points in the league, which was a serious dip.
This team has a group of decent players, especially Howard (former Manchester United goalkeeper), Jajerka, Barry, Barkley, Lukaku formed the central axis, and the average ability should not be underestimated.
But...... The 34-year-old Barry met the 25-year-old Ronshit, and he clearly felt overwhelmed.
And once the waist is overwhelmed, it will be difficult for Everton to keep Ronshette obediently in place.
What's more, Lonshit not only made Barry helpless, but also made the 22-year-old local talent, another superstar after Rooney - Ross Barkley and the 21-year-old Barcelona academy, Spain's Messi, Iniesta's successor, and the "Emperor" Deulofeu, the two talents at a loss!
Everton's attacking core is firmly limited by Liverpool, but the Reds' No.8 still has the strength to attack!
-
The derby was undoubtedly a major event, but the players on both sides were not overly cautious and conservative, but were particularly excited.
In less than 3 minutes of the opening game, Liverpool cooperated with a corner kick, Sturridge went straight outside the penalty area, and Milner, who was actively inserting, was put to the ground by goalkeeper Howard, but the referee didn't even blink an eyelid!
In the 5th minute, Coutinho passed straight ahead, Sturridge cut inside with the ball and suddenly shot a cold arrow, but it was blocked by Ince, who was more active than him......
In the 9th minute, Coutinho took an indirect free kick, which was cleared by the header of the waiting Jajerka, Milner grabbed the landing point outside the penalty area and split the side in time, Ronshette obliquely plugged the right rib of the penalty area, Sturridge kept sweeping directly, but was blocked by the fast-eyed Jajerka again.
Just three minutes later, Liverpool were back in action, this time on the counter-attack, but Lonshit was the first to break the ball up front and then lob the left side of the box.
The wingback Klein, who was still in the front, hurriedly stepped forward, then jumped high to grab the landing point, and rubbed the football to his teammate in the middle with a header, but in the face of his affection, Ince sent the football to the stands!
There was a burst of joyful boos at Goodison Stadium, and the Everton fans, who had been pressed by Liverpool for more than ten minutes, could only relieve their nerves a little in this way.
“Everton! Everton! e're Forever Everton! ”
More than 30,000 blue fans also used the song "Everton Forever" to motivate the eleven lads playing on the pitch, hoping that they could show the momentum of playing at home.
The effect of mental motivation was indeed very effective, and the players in the blue jerseys quickly picked up their spirits and pressed towards the red side.
It's a pity that they crashed into Liverpool's red walls again!
"Although Deulofeu has not yet reached the level of Iniesta and Messi, the foot skills he trained in La Masia are enough to be called excellent in the Premier League, look at his dribbling, how smooth and delicate, how pleasing to the eye, even if it is a Chinese dragon, it will feel a little troublesome, right?"
This narration must be Spaniard.
As soon as he finished saying this nonsense, Ronshit poked the football out of the feet of the "Iniesta successor" with his toes!
Deulofeu didn't even react, and the whole person rushed for a walk in the direction of advancing with the ball before, before he stopped as if he had just woken up from a dream!
When he stabilized his body and turned his head to look back, the person who snatched the ball just now had jumped out ten meters away!
"Liverpool's quick counter-attack!"
Zhan Tianjun couldn't help but rub his hands:
"This is the first time that Longshute has resolutely stepped forward in this game! Will he get a shot on goal?! ”
Why not?
Could it be that Coutinho and Sturridge dare to rob him?
Although the football he cut off is now being carried by the Scoots, the Brazilian knows very well that it is only because his big man wants to speed up faster!
How fast can a dragon run without the ball?
Anyway...... Barry, who has always been known for his mobility and coverage area, can only eat dirt behind his ass!
Run 25 meters in three seconds!
Who can catch up with him in Everton?!
The Toffees' two backs, Barry and McCarthy, chased in vain, and the defenders led by Jagelka also had to retreat again and again, and their defense seemed to be pressed back by an invisible momentum!
No one dared to pounce on the Reds captain one-on-one, even if it was a foul...... You've got to at least keep up with Long Shut's moves, right?!
Sturridge and Ince were inserted in Everton's backline in hopes of helping the captain draw some defensive pressure.
But the attention of the Everton defenders doesn't seem to be on them at all, and none of them even look at them more!
Coutinho finally passes!
Long Shute completed the action of receiving the ball with his right foot, but the sprint speed had almost no effect!
The 33-year-old Jajerka continued to retreat, but his young partner Maury finally couldn't hold back and rushed towards Longshut!
"Hey! You daredevil! ”
Jagielka wanted to call him back, but the Argentine defender, who had joined the team just two months ago, couldn't understand the broken Liverpool English......
And then...... Maury sat on the grass and felt the afternoon sun in the British Isles.
The corners of Long Shute's mouth had already shown a hideous smile.
Want to break the ball from my feet in a one-on-one situation?
Brother...... You're naïve, aren't you?!
You should ask your old compatriot Mascherano who tried to keep up with me, but his back door was torn apart!
The Red Army's No. 8 slammed his feet at the top of the arc of the big penalty area!
Jajerka chose to make a flying tackle at this moment!
Then there was a flower in front of his eyes, and the red color just now appeared two or three meters away as if it were shifting!
It was supposed to be Mori's defense zone!
Jagelka, who was still gliding on the turf, widened her eyes in horror!
In front of Longshut, who dribbled the ball at full speed, the 33-year-old himself and the 24-year-old Mori ...... What's the difference?
Burst in the Red Army's No. 8 penalty area!
Howard is nothing more than a clay statue!
Liverpool away 1-0!
