545 Surprise wins?
At Liverpool, there are at least two nights of every season that are completely football.
All the people in the whole city, during these two nights, have only one kind of entertainment, and even walking in the streets and alleys of the city, everything you can see and hear is related to football.
Some people joke that in the middle of the city, you can hear the voices of live commentators coming from every house, from bars and other places, and if you are close to Stanley Park, you can hear the shouts of fans in the two adjacent stadiums.
This is the Merseyside derby, where Liverpool are kidnapped by football!
Over the past few years, since David Moyes took over, Everton's overall fighting power has improved, and the Merseyside derby has started to become intense, and the atmosphere of the derby has gradually become stronger, especially in the second derby of the season.
Liverpool are on the run for the league title, Everton need enough points to avoid relegation, and both teams are eager to win this derby, so the fans are competing against each other, and the atmosphere of the derby is very strong from the pre-game.
But there is a saying that is true, on the football field, it is always by strength to speak.
When Arau? Diarra broke the ball in midfield, Gerrard went forward to the feet of Arshavin, and the Russian Tsar tore apart the Everton back line with a penetrating through ball, and when Larsson stepped in the back row and scored with ease in the middle, the whole Sutton bar was completely boiled.
"Oh yes! Kill those soft-skinned eggs at Everton! ”
"Fuck them, shoot them in the head!"
"Great goal! Great Liverpool! Great Caesar! The Great Henrik? Larson! ”
Sutton's pub was crowded with people who first heard the deafening cheers of the fans coming from the Anfield stadium next door. They had a premonition that they had scored, and then they saw the belated footage of the live TV broadcast, and they were already shouting excitedly.
A group of people raised their wine glasses, swayed the beer in the glasses mercilessly, and some even poured them directly on their heads, just to celebrate the goal!
"In the sixth minute, just six minutes into the game, Liverpool took the lead and scored the crucial goal!"
"By French defender Aarau? Diarra squares the ball in front of Arteta. The pass to Steven Gerrard, the Liverpool captain then passed to Arshavin, who took advantage of the situation and Larsson ran for offside, poked into the box and slotted home. It was a very beautiful counter-attack! ”
With the comments of the on-site commentators on the TV, coupled with the replay of the entire counter-attack routine in slow motion, the Liverpool fans in Sutton's Bar shouted excitedly again.
"Everton suffered a painful blow at the start, and Moyes was clearly on the right set to play a strong attack at Anfield to stabilize the situation, but he didn't expect it. Liverpool gave him a slap in the face at the start! ”
"It's really paradoxical, everyone knows that Liverpool can't let the tempo be controlled by them, but they can't find an effective way to control the tempo, especially a team like Everton, which is much inferior to Liverpool in terms of overall strength, Arteta was beaten by Aarau after the opening? Diarra and Gerrard's team-up. ”
The on-site commentator shook his head and sighed, "The Spaniards are indeed good. At that time, it was rumored that Yang Cheng wanted to bring him in, but he chose Real Sociedad instead, which made him miss the opportunity to reach the peak of his career at Liverpool, and now he is at Everton, and he has always lived in the shadow of Liverpool. ”
'David Moyes should settle the situation as soon as possible, Liverpool are no better than other teams, they are ......'
Just halfway through the on-site narrator's speech. Just after seeing Everton restart, it was just after two or three passes, and just as he was about to pass to Arteta's feet, Gerrard suddenly jumped out and grabbed ahead of the Spaniard. Pushing Arteta with his body and stabbing the ball early to Arshavin, who was pulled into the middle to pick up.
The Russian was very active after the opening, did not adjust the slightest after receiving the ball, took advantage of the situation and passed the ball diagonally over the top, distributed the ball to the left, and saw Ribery sprinting forward at high speed on the left, and Liverpool's entire offensive line was also advancing rapidly.
When all the fans in Sutton's bar saw this scene, they immediately shouted, "Come on!" "French boys, kill them!" ”
I saw the TV picture, after Ribery formed a fast breakthrough on the left side, he made an emergency stop, deceived Everton academy youngster Hibbert, turned around and knocked the ball back, Larsson followed from behind, and was closely marked by Yabo.
Kuyt, who partnered with Larsson as a double striker in this game, stepped in the back row and pushed the ball to the ball.
Everton goalkeeper Wright reacted quickly and flew to knock the ball out when he couldn't make a save.
The ball flew back into the penalty area, and I saw Ashvin catching up from behind, and he grabbed the retreating Phil? Before Neville, sent the ball into the goal of Everton, 2:0!
"Another goal!" The on-site narrator shouted excitedly.
With his shouting, the whole Sutton bar was like an earthquake, and the fans also cooperated with the sound coming from the stadium, and everyone was a little crazy and carried away with the screams.
'In less than 10 minutes, Liverpool scored two in a row on their home turf and Everton got off to a terrible start!'
"Moyes obviously made a mistake in judgment, focusing too much on attack at the beginning, but leaving too much space for Liverpool behind him, on the other hand, Yang Cheng, after losing Carrick, the core of the organization, and Xiao Xiaoluo, the attacking killer, he decisively chose to change the formation."
"Liverpool's lineup in this game looks like 442, but it's actually more like 424, leaving Aarau in midfield? Diarra and Gerrard, Ribery attacked on the left, Larsson occupied the middle, Kuyt frequently pulled to the right side to respond, and Arshavin, who mainly played on the right, frequently ran to the middle, acting as the team's organization and the core of the front court of the last pass. ”
"Liverpool's nimble interspersed running tactics, as well as the players' excellent individual ability and teamwork ability, directly messed up Everton's defence after the start, and it was clear that the defenders didn't know how to defend. Leaks and dislocations are frequent, and Moyes must find a solution as soon as possible! ”
With this analysis by the on-site commentator, the fans at Sutton's Bar suddenly raised their arms one by one and shouted, "Because we have Caesar!" To hell with it, Everton, you don't deserve to be our enemies! ”

"Fuck, did Moyes take the wrong medicine?"
At Chelsea's training base in London, Jose Mourinho was also watching the live broadcast. They were a day behind Liverpool, so he took the time to watch the game with his assistants, but it was clear that the game wouldn't turn in the direction the madman wanted because of him, at least not at least Everton.
"Playing a strong attack at the start of the game at Anfield? Which team did he think he was coaching? ”
Mourinho's cynicism, Moyes is certainly not to hear. But the madman's assistant heard it very clearly.
"It is estimated that Moyes can't think of a way, the gap between the strength of the two teams is obvious, and it can only be made up by tactics, but to play targeted tactics, Moyes is far from being Yang Cheng's opponent, and can only win by surprise!" Boas said with a wry smile.
"Surprise win?" Mourinho shook his head and sneered, "He's giving away points in Liverpool!" ”
After a pause, he shook his head and said, "This guy has never been afraid of playing against his offensive team." Unless you have enough strength to directly press him and give him a chance to breathe, otherwise, it will not be him who collapses! ”
There aren't many teams that can force Liverpool's defence, Arsenal have, Chelsea and Juventus are barely able to, but these are top teams, Everton. Neither the staffing nor the strength of the players are far from this level, not to mention that Everton has never been a team that is good at attacking.
As David Moyes reacted, Everton began to tighten their defence and Liverpool's attack eased.
"I'm afraid it's hard to hope that Everton will win against Liverpool!" Boas shook his head.
As things stand, Everton won, let alone win. Even an equaliser is a big problem.
"Judging from Liverpool's performance in this game, I dare to say that Yang Cheng must have been silently practicing this set of tactics without Carrick, and it was rumored that he was practicing 442 before, and now it seems. He was prepared! ”
Speaking of which, it happened that the live TV camera was shown to Yang Cheng in front of the coach's seat of the home team at Anfield Stadium, and he was obviously explaining to Paul? Pointing to the court, Boas sighed helplessly, "He's too far-sighted!" "It's hard to beat someone like that. ..., but he still hasn't said one thing, that is, Mourinho is also quite like Yang Cheng in this aspect.
However, the two are different, Yang Cheng's foresight is far-sighted, and Mourinho is more focused on everything that is coming.
"Actually...... Jose ...... "Boas looked at Mourinho in front of him, who was angry watching the live broadcast, and he wanted to say something, but he knew that saying it might not be pleasing to him.
Mourinho looked over and didn't speak, but his face was pale, obviously in an extremely bad mood.
Seeing him like this, Villas-Boas thought about it, and put up with his words, he originally wanted to tell Mourinho, or he could consider abandoning the league and pursuing the FA Cup instead, at least this would ensure that Chelsea can have a title to win this season.
But Boas knows Mourinho's temper very well, and knows that when he says this, the madman will definitely roar, so why bother to scold?
Mourinho's strategy now is to fight Liverpool to the end, and he will continue to keep the pressure on Liverpool in the league and give it his all to fight until the last round, because he firmly believes that Liverpool will make mistakes.
So he will give his all against Manchester City, but in the FA Cup round of 8 knockouts, Chelsea's opponent is Newcastle, but Liverpool's opponent is Birmingham, and the strength of the two teams is much different.
Villas-Boas is just a little worried, if he accidentally capsizes in the FA Cup gutter and ends up falling behind Liverpool in the league, won't he end up cheapening other teams for nothing, but he will be empty-handed?
After thinking about it, Boas felt that he should speak up and at least give Mourinho some advice.
BUT JUST AS HE WAS ABOUT TO SPEAK AGAIN, HE HEARD THE NASTY "GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL" OF THE LIVE NARRATOR ON THE TV AGAIN!! The shouts were also very long.
"Aarau? Diarra scored with a header from the back row to find the back of the net for Everton. It was a cross from Franck Ribery after breaking down the left, a very beautiful wide break down the middle and a very good attacking routine for Larsson and Kuyt to pull in well.
"3:0, Everton was defeated, just 35 minutes into the game, Everton has lost 3:0!"
As the TV screen showed the Liverpool players celebrating their goal, Mourinho's expression was so ugly that he almost smashed the TV, he couldn't have imagined it. Liverpool's remnants still have such combat effectiveness.
Aarau? Diarra, the 24-year-old French midfielder, was really impressive in this game, with the feeling of Vieira, who was also tall. The body is strong, the header is very advantageous, and the feet are not rough, there is a certain ability to control the ball, the running ability is outstanding, the activity area is wide, and the defense is in place.
The game Aarau? Diarra's task is actually quite simple, which is to defend and protect the defensive line. Responsible for some simple ball-sharing tasks, the real organization and threat of passing are in charge of Arshavin, the Russian is also very good, although he plays on the right side, but in fact his area of activity is always moving closer to the middle, belonging to the kind of agile forward midfield.
This kind of back-and-forth running is no stranger to Mourinho, who has studied Yang Cheng's tactics. knew that this was a major feature of Yang Cheng, but the problem was that he really didn't expect this group of substitute players to be able to play so well.
Just when Mourinho was a little confused, the on-site commentator shouted GOAL again.
Kuyt picked up the ball on the right and tucked it straight behind him, Arshavin reached into the box and fired an easy shot into the right flank to break through Wright's goal again. scored a brace, 4:0!
"Defeat is like a mountain!" Mourinho sneered and stood up from his seat.
The first half wasn't over yet, but look at the look on David Moyes' sideline look and the spirit of the Everton players, unless they're planning to pull off an Istanbul miracle at Anfield. Otherwise, why reverse Liverpool? Is it possible? Is it realistic?
"In the end, it's still the pressure of two-front combat!" Boas sighed.
In midweek, Everton had just completed a League Cup tie with Roma.
In the round of 16 knockout round of the UEFA Cup, Everton won 1-0 at home in the first leg, Moyes was ambitious to go away, although he lost 1:2 in 90 minutes, but the aggregate score was 2:2, and Everton won by away goals.
It is conceivable that Everton's not spacious lineup, in just 13 days, played 5 games, and the players were at the limit of their physical and psychological state, as if they were a tight rubber band, and Liverpool added a little more force to break this rubber band. If Everton's attacking tactics had worked at the beginning, they might not have had to play this game, or it could be said that no matter how bad it was, Moyes's side would not have lost so badly.
But now, unfortunately, they suffered an extremely rare defeat at Anfield.
Jose Mourinho has no interest in continuing to watch, and in his opinion, Liverpool have already secured the three points early, and all Chelsea need to do is make sure they keep picking up points and keep chasing Liverpool.
Coming out of the office, I looked at the pitch black sky in the distance, there were no stars, no moon, only pitch black.
It's kind of like the mood of the Portuguese at this moment, it's so fucked up!

"Looks like they can't resist anymore!"
At the crowded Anfield Stadium, the vast majority of Liverpool fans in the stands were shouting loudly as if they were celebrating a holiday, some were singing the team song, some were shouting the names of the players and managers, and some were pulling banners and waving flags.
The Devils' home stadium is not a casual button, and Liverpool fans are not idle when the team is busy playing, especially when the team is mostly ahead of their city rivals.
Listened to Paul? Beyer's words, Yang Cheng turned his head sideways, looked at Moyes, who didn't know when he walked to the side of the court, and smiled coldly, "He's a little too big!" ”
If Everton had started conservatively, it would have been difficult for Liverpool to open up all at once, but David Moyes was clearly too ambitious, and others only dared to secure a draw at Anfield, but he wanted to get three points, so he only opened the game.
Yang Cheng didn't expect him to attack boldly, but the problem is that Liverpool's tactics are originally attacking, even after Carrick and Xiao Xiaoluo are absent, Yang Cheng's strategy is to use home advantage to launch a round of attacks after the opening, but he didn't expect Everton to hit the gun directly.
"I have a hunch that this will be a big win!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
From the situation of the game, the mentality of the players, the mental outlook, etc., the head coach can draw some estimates.
"Then we have to continue to chase and fight in the second half!" Benitez laughed.
"Replace Gerrard, Murphy!" Yang Cheng told Paul? Bayer.
The latter knows this is a sign to keep the attacking pressure going, as Murphy, although not as strong in attack as Gerrard, is technically better, and his presence will not affect Liverpool's attack much.
There is also an FA Cup game in midweek, and Yang Cheng is also very serious about this game, a decisive one, if Liverpool want to win the FA Cup, they must cross Birmingham, a team deep in the relegation zone.
"Let Carol go and prepare, and he'll go up and slip around in the second half!"
Drogba was excluded from the squad by Yang Cheng in this game, but Carroll was added to the bench, and now he has found an opportunity, Yang Cheng is ready to replace Murphy at halftime, and then make a substitution after the start of the second half, just give him time to practice his footwork, after all, young people should give them more opportunities to practice and accumulate experience.
At this time, for Liverpool, it is no longer a question of whether to win or not, but how much to win! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
