Chapter 537: A Ball of Gold
Liverpool, who escaped, soon attacked.
With Sua on the ball, Gerrard returned to the left again, the Spanish full-back rushed to Donovan and sent a diagonal pass, Kuyt took the ball and turned and was brought down, but seeing that the ball was at the feet of Enge, Atkinson did not blow the game.
David Eng was held back by Heitinga and couldn't turn back, but he wouldn't concede the ball easily, he was too strong!
Wu Sanshi hurriedly ran inside and waved his hand to ask for the ball, because Neville was very close, and after receiving the ball, Wu Sanshi immediately passed back to Gerrard.
Gerrard, who got the ball in the middle, went to the left, Wu Sanshi retreated to escort him, Philip Neville didn't know who to follow for a while, and finally he chose to trust his teammates and return to his position.
"The two captains are facing each other again!"
"Beautiful!"
Gerrard pretended to pass, but he poked the ball with his toes, penetrated Philip Neville's goal, and then accelerated violently, rushing towards the bottom line, Wu Sanshi stepped forward at the same time, and the Everton back Osman fell beside him.
Seeing that he couldn't pass the ball, Gerrard made a slight adjustment and fired a right-footed blast from the touchline.
Wu Sanshi and Enge both rushed into the six-yard box, and the Everton players did not dare to take their feet lightly. Although this shot angle is small, it is difficult to deal with, and one accidentally will score an own goal.
The experienced Howard made an immediate decision, and he abandoned the goal as soon as he saw Gerrard's shot, and although he misjudged, he still blocked the ball with his right foot.
duang,
The ball hits the post and bounces off the baseline.
"This ball ......"
"It's so dangerous, I almost got in."
"Gerrard is also a skilled and bold man, and he hits the ball directly on the wing."
"I think he's going to take a kick, it's a hard ball to defend, and if Howard doesn't shoot, there's definitely no way to save the ball, and even if he blocks it, it's easy to get shots."
"So Gerrard is the best player in the Premier League, and this long-range shot alone is worth 50 million!"
Gerald stood in the corner flag area and suddenly waved at Wu Sanshi.
Wu Sanshi looked confused, but when he saw Gerard blinking, he quickly called him and walked over there.
Unexpectedly, Gerrard had just left the corner flag area with a flying tackle that cleared the ball out of bounds.
Awesome!
The response is really fast.
"Haha, Liverpool want to replicate Manchester United's tactical corners,"
"I didn't expect to be seen through by the other party."
"After all, Neville is a player from Manchester United, so it's not surprising to see through it."
Gerrard had just touched the ball with his foot when he stood in the corner flag area, and the corner kick was opened, and he gestured to make a substitution just to take him by surprise, but he didn't expect Philip Neville to see through his intentions directly.
Although some fans looked confused, in fact, the two sides had completed a very fierce confrontation at this moment......
Insuya threw it to Wu Sanshi, feeling that there was no way to turn back, he returned the ball to Insua, and Insua gave it to Ager's feet, and started to organize again in the backcourt.
Everton, who had one more man, fought so hard that even Saha used a shovel.
Skrtel didn't dare to hold it up, and hurried back to the goalkeeper, and Reyna hit the midfield with a big foot.
Gerrard and Mascherano sandwiched Arteta to fight for the top, and all three failed to reach it, but Mascherano reacted quickly after landing and quickly kicked to the right, Carragher quickly sent forward, and Gerrard and Wu Sanshi, who were inserted, made a collision with the wall and rushed to the opponent's penalty area.
He didn't pass the ball, but changed direction past Osman to split the side, Kuyt stopped the ball and didn't stop well, Baines quickly hooked back to his teammate, but Kuyt hit him directly with his shoulder, one was unstable, and the ball was lost again.
Without looking up, Kuyt got straight to his feet.
bang
Distin half-turned to block his cross and the ball bounced high.
In an instant, four or five players rushed to the landing point of the ball, and no one slowed down, which is a proof of courage and strength.
rub
rub
rub
Several people took to the air, and the highest jumper, Gerald and Osman, hit the ball at the same time, and flew the ball again, and the aftermath continued to fall, and their heads slammed together.
bang
They both fell to the ground.
"Team Doctor, Team Doctor ......"
Moyes shouted in a hurry, Liverpool's side seemed to be methodical, after Benitez paid close attention to the work of the team medical team, their reaction speed was greatly improved, and the Liverpool team medical team is definitely the first in the Premier League.
Padding Gerald's head,
Peel off the eyelids and shine a small flashlight.
"Steve, how are you feeling?"
"I'm dizzy...... If you didn't shine a flashlight on me, I might be better. Gerald joked with a feeling of disgust, but the expression on his face was not as relaxed as words.
"Minor concussion?"
"It should be."
"Then let him go?"
"Don't!" Gerrard interrupted the conversation of the team medics, a slight concussion sounds scary, but it's not a big deal, and now there is only one substitution left in the team, considering the intensity of this game, Gerrard definitely can't use up the last substitution now, what if someone gets injured.
The team doctor looked at Gerrard in embarrassment, and the Liverpool captain pushed their heads away, got up with his hands on the ground and said, "I'm fine, you guys should go back quickly." ”
Afraid that the team doctor wouldn't believe it, he jumped a few times, and a feeling of dizziness followed.
Gerrard didn't show it, though.
Seeing that the captain insisted, the team doctor team had no choice but to explain, "If you don't feel good, you can make a gesture to replace someone." ”
"I know, I know, you guys are really annoying!"
Gerard, whose forehead was covered in cold sweat, waved his hand like a chicken, pushing them to the sidelines.
Osman was lifted off the pitch by Everton's team doctor and the fourth official quickly raised his substitution card.
"It's unexpected."
"I was sitting in the live broadcast room just now and heard the sound, and the impact was not light, but I didn't expect Osman to be injured, but Gerrard was still insisting."
"Looking at his footsteps, I think Gerrard might be injured too."
Not only the commentators, but even the fans have discovered this problem.
Some sentimental female fans saw Gerrard's vain footsteps and even covered their mouths and cried silently.
David Moyes was replaced by a striker and Victor Anichebe had good speed, but when he came on, the pressure on Liverpool's midfield was much less.
Seeing the change of situation on the field, Benitez sneered.
Sure enough, that's the level.
is far worse than Ferguson, that is, because his nationality is Scottish, Moyes will be promoted by Ferguson.
It's not Benitez pride, at this time it is an effect to replace a few forwards, Gerrard retreats and Mascherano form a double back, basically cutting off the connection between Everton's forward line and the midfield, so that their attack can only be launched on the side, although one more striker grabs the point, but this midfield pressure will be a lot less, which will liberate Gerrard's offensive ability.
If it were him, Benitez would definitely be replaced by a midfielder, and a substitution would be the best option, rather than an extra striker.
The air defense capabilities of Ager and Skrtel are still relatively reliable, and with Carragher on the right flank, it is estimated that high-altitude bombing will be difficult to effect.
Still too young!
In the 55th minute, Philip Neville cut in from the right and crossed to the back post, and Skrtel took the lead to push the ball out of the box.
Gerrard received the ball and launched a counterattack with a long pass, Wu Sanshi ran from the side to the middle and jumped up to unload the ball to quickly split the side, Insua received the ball and rushed to the bottom line, because Philip Neville could not return to the position in time, Heitinga was forced to fill in on the side.
But because Suya continued to go down very cunningly, and when he was about to reach the bottom line, he didn't look up at all and directly passed the ball with an inverted triangle.
syllable
The unguarded Wu Sanshi received the ball and rushed directly into the small penalty area, and when he saw Distin, he rushed to the bottom line again, and then knocked the ball in front of the goal.
“what the fuuk?”
Seeing David Enge unguarded, Everton goalkeeper Howard panicked, and a split second he chose to attack. It may be too late, but it's already the best option.
Seeing the ball coming, David Eng was very excited, and opened his bow to shoot arrows and kick the goal.
bang
It's a lot of power!
But the shot flew high over the crossbar.
7 meters in front of the door, I actually hit a plane. Wu Sanshi, who has always been good-tempered, couldn't help but spread his hands and complained, he was really speechless......
"Such a good opportunity was wasted!"
"Look at Benitez's expression and want to strangle Enge."
"I don't know if he regretted replacing Suarez."
Regret?
Of course!
Although the players have a lot of balls, the Liverpool players are still used to playing on the ground, this style of play has inertia, and they will choose the most familiar style of play when they are forced to play.
And David Engel is like a stumbling block in Liverpool's frontcourt, the ball will always be half a beat slow when it reaches his feet, seriously slowing down Liverpool's attack.
Everton failed to return from two successive wide kicks, and Liverpool, who had a chance to breathe, immediately launched a counter-attack.
Wu Sanshi took the ball on the left side, he and Gerrard kicked the wall and then burst into the left side of the penalty area again, this time Wu Sanshi did not pass, a cross flick shook off Heitinga, and immediately got up and shot into the bottom left corner.
Howard made another save and kept the ball out of bounds with his fingertips.
call
call
After gasping for breath, Wu Sanshi pinched his waist and looked at the Everton goalkeeper, feeling speechless.
This performance is too strong, isn't it?
It's because he has played for Manchester United and is in Everton, so there is a double mental bonus, right, I feel like Howard is bursting today, and his reaction on the goal line is comparable to Casillas, all kinds of miracle saves.
If it weren't for him, Liverpool would have been ahead.
Could it be that Everton has a sky-high prize for not conceding a goal in the derby in his contract?
Wu Sanshi had to be so skeptical, after all, Howard's performance in this game had completely suppressed Reina, and he didn't show a level like the goalkeeper who was swept away by Manchester United.
Can't figure it out......
Liverpool, who are playing with one man less, are serious about set-piece opportunities.
In a moment, the Everton penalty area was packed.
Gerrard's pass was cleared by the opponent, and Wu Sanshi took the top of his chest to observe his team's position, while sending the pass with the instep of his right foot......
A swift bocce ball swept into Everton's six-yard box.
Kuyt turned and volleyed between Distin's legs, and the Everton centre-back went to the ground.
In stoppage time, Enge hit the side-netting.
The angry Everton player duty Enge does not pay attention to sportsmanship, even though someone falls to the ground and still kicks the ball, Enge doesn't care to go back, which makes the teeth of the Everton players itch with hatred.
Soon Everton found an opportunity to retaliate, in the 73rd minute, Ager fell to the ground after a long pass from the backfield, Liverpool was attacking, referee Atkinson saw Ager's painful expression and directly blew the game off.
Fortunately, Ager was back on the pitch after receiving treatment.
Atkinson signaled to restart the game by chasing the ball, and he called the captains of the two sides, Steven Gerrard and Neville, to discuss, and there was no objection from either side.
Gerrard didn't understand the ball after the crash and Neville kicked it to Heitinga, who should have returned the ball to Liverpool and who should have kicked it off the touchline. However, Heitinga made a surprising move, he looked up, and then rushed forward with the ball, the Liverpool players were stunned, no one came up to stop him, Heitinga led faster and faster, all the way through the midfield and straight to the Liverpool penalty area.
"Is he crazy?" There was endless disgust in Mortensen's shocked tone, although Heitinga's actions did not violate the rules of football, but the unwritten rule that the ball should be returned was a reflection of the demeanor of the pitch, and the English liked this tone the most, but they did not expect that there would be players in the Premier League who did not pay attention to the principles of fair play.
Out of anger, Gerrard reacted quickly, catching up from behind and kicking Heitinga directly with a tackle.
Beep
Yellow!
9th yellow card of the game.
The behaviour was even worse, as Heitinga, who violated the principles of fair play, did not violate the rules of the game and therefore could not be punished in any way.
"You thief."
"Still trying to steal a goal."
"Dog stuff."
The Liverpool players surrounded him and questioned Heitinga who fell to the ground, Cahill and Pirner, two players who were nearby, also rushed up, Pirner pushed Gerrard through his teammates, this move not only made Anfield Stadium explode, Liverpool's bench was full of all the members rushed out, although the coaching staff reacted quickly, but Suarez still broke through the defense of the coaching staff.
At this time, Benitez made an astonishing move, his fat body defied gravity, jumped directly high, and threw Suarez, who was about to rush into the field, to the ground.
The Liverpool fans who were still scolding were stunned!
Their head coach is so awesome,
Could it be that Your Excellency is the rumored flexible dead fat man in the rivers and lakes?
The applause from Anfield interrupted the confrontation and Atkinson cut through the mess and quickly separated the players.
"Benitez is really handsome this time, I seem to be watching a kung fu movie."
"I didn't expect him to be able to pounce on Suarez, who is not short, but flexibility is not a joke."
"I guess Benitez has been paying attention to Suarez, and if he rushes up, he will definitely be banned again."
"Hearing you say that, I think Benitez is so sad. In addition to having a headache for the opponent, you also have to keep an eye on the unconscious players in the team. ”
"Hahaha, Suarez, a combination of the devil and the angel. His talent is unquestionable, but his ability to cause trouble is not too great, and Benitez is now suffering from it......"
Suarez, who was caught, did not resist and obediently returned to the bench.
He didn't understand why he was knocked down by Benitez.
Could it be that his speed has dropped?
......
After this foul, the smell of gunpowder between the two sides became stronger, like the Balkans that were set on fire.
In the 65th minute, Wu Sanshi received the ball on the left side and quickly passed the ball, Philip Neville immediately turned around and came to sweep the hall after being passed, and Wu Sanshi, who was tripped over, rolled on the turf several times.
Fed up, Atkinson gave the cards directly, but it did not deter the players on both sides.
Three minutes later, Kuyt was dribbling the ball down the right and after a one-two with Steven Gerrard he suddenly couldn't run, and Bynes was dragged out of his shirt for several metres.
Yellow!
Then Gerrard took a tactical free kick, Kuyt swept at the top of the arc, Wu Sanshi took the ball and hung it directly, Howard could use his hands to punch the ball out, and the ball flew to Kuyt again.
The Dutchman didn't think about it, just turned and took off into the air and fired a barb shot.
bang
The ball flew like a cannonball into the top left corner of the goal, hit the inside and bounced hard into the goal line.
Scored!
Beacon fire for three months, one goal is worth 10,000 gold!
Boom –
Liverpool fans stood up and celebrated like crazy......
“Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!” Mortensen lengthened his voice, illustrating how difficult it was to score.
'Finally the goal, Liverpool finally scored the first goal of the game after 22 shots, which could have been the goal that would have decided the game.
"Dirk Kuyt, a hard-working player, stepped up and it was probably the most important goal of his career!"
"Look at Benitez, he actually hugged Suarez in a circle, I guess he is crazy by now!"
Kuyt, who scored the crucial goal, dodged his team-mate's outstretched hand and ran all the way to the Kop stands.
"Dirk,"
"Dirk,"
"Dirk!"
After watching this game, I realized how important this goal is.
Fans in the front row of the stands stretched out their hands to touch their hero.
It wasn't until the referee came over to remind him to continue the game that Kuyt reluctantly ran to the middle circle.
He's scored in both the World Cup and the European Championships, but he's never been so happy, because every time he's the icing on the cake, as a foil to his team-mates.
Although a member of the Dutch Golden Generation and the setler of the Eredivisie's single-season goalscorer, he has never been the protagonist.
Van der Vaart and Sneijder are the most eye-catching presence in the Dutch team, and even Van Persie and Huntelaar are more important than him.
Usually he is a foil, following his teammates forward, silently defending, and watching his teammates shine all over the field.
Even in Liverpool, his name only appears behind Gerrard and the like, like a poor wretched man with a dispensability.
But today, he has finally become the protagonist.
This feeling,
Refreshing!
Suarez looked at Kuyt enviously, usually he would be complacent because he could occupy the position of the single arrow, but now he found that sometimes the single arrow is not good, and it is too easy to be replaced when changing tactics.
This made him suddenly resentful.
The team's offense is not changed, it is better to let him continue to play, at least it will not be so difficult to score, maybe he will take the lead a long time ago.
Benitez deserves to be a sucker physique, because of Kuyt's goal, he was blamed by Suarez.
Liverpool's handsome position is really not easy to sit on......
