It was the 200th Merseyside derby and the first time in 17 years that Everton had a lead over Liverpool by more than six points before the derby.

Everton used to have the same strength as Liverpool to compete for hegemony, but during Liverpool's dominance of England, Everton gradually fell into loneliness, and the game between the two teams once added a lot of gunpowder.

It wasn't until the 80s that the intensity and importance of the derby between the two teams reached its peak, with Liverpool winning six titles and Everton two in the first division of the Premier League in the decade leading up to its inception.

Relations between the two teams deteriorated after the Heyser massacre in 1985, as Everton fans often accused Liverpool fans of disqualifying them from European competitions (the FA banned other English teams from European competitions for five years after the tragedy). But with the establishment of the Premier League, Everton's results have regressed, and last season with a supernova like Lu Xiaopang, they actually fought for relegation.

For Everton this season, they only need four more points to avoid relegation. Of course, this is just a small thing for Everton, who are third in the standings.

Everton still have a lot of money left to sell Lu Xiaopang, and they have enough money to take on Liverpool again in the winter transfer window.

Li Tie is still in the injury period, so the "Chinese Derby" that Chinese fans are concerned about in this game has not been staged, which really makes fans a little embarrassed.

They don't care about the same city derby! Only the wonderful shots of Tang Wu vs Li Tie can make their hormones secrete quickly.

But fans who are slightly familiar with the Premier League know that this game is really an important game for Liverpool and Tang Wu.

After Chelsea and Arsenal drew with each other, the first and second places almost came to a standstill. At this time, Liverpool is facing Everton, who is in the third place, and if it can be pulled down again, it will be easy to win four or compete for the title at that time.

What's more, Liverpool also "accidentally" lost to Villa in the last round of the league, which means that Liverpool wants to get a better position, and this game must be won. And if you look at the fixtures, Liverpool have one more game than the other teams in the coming week due to the rematch to make up, and the second game will also be against the top four contenders - Magpies Newcastle.

To sum up, the pre-Christmas schedule can be regarded as a tough battle for Liverpool, if it plays beautifully, it will directly break into the first echelon; If it stinks, Bei Bald will really have to prepare for the top four this season.

Taking advantage of the momentum of the home field, Everton faced Liverpool with ferocious pressing as soon as they started.

It is usually the Liverpool midfielder who is rudely cut off by the opponent as soon as he touches the ball. Even if the referee blew for a foul, it was just a verbal warning and did not affect Moyes's tactical plan.

In the 14th minute, Gerrard took a free-kick from the left and Mailer's header went just wide, and Liverpool missed their best chance to take the lead.

Everton also missed a great chance in the 22nd minute when Bengt's cross from the right side of the box was met by an unmarked Cahill six docks in front of goal, Tang Wu made a failed save, but the ball went wide of the back post.

Half a point after the game, everyone saw one thing: Gerrard was having a hard time!

If you're lucky enough to see a simple scene movie in an island country where two or three people can finish it, you'll be impressed by the two bald heads and the other "weak".

The captain of the Red Army was originally exposed to the world as a tough guy, but in this game, he was classified as "weak". The reason is very simple, the two bald men around him are too rough!

In the Premier League's ADEX player search system, the two bald heads, ranked third and ninth, respectively, belong to Everton.

In the bag between Graveson and Karlsley, Gerald is like a little resentful woman who is angry at every turn, and he can't use his own tricks at all.

Liverpool have not been particularly good lately, and the winter transfer window will be opened. Faced with the ruble in west London and the euro in Madrid, Gerrard's tone was not very tight - "If the team doesn't get better, maybe I'll leave." ”

Such words made Bei Bald frown, but he could not be angry, because what Gerald said was a fact.

As the Three Lions' main defender, Gerrard's importance and ability are unmatched. Whether it's Chelsea or Real Madrid, both will go to the next level.

But for Liverpool, it was an absolutely devastating blow.

If Gerrard insisted on leaving, there was nothing he could do to stop him.

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.

Not everyone will regard loyalty as their lifelong pursuit when they are young, and sometimes the champion is the most attractive medal for young people.

Gerald's good friend Michael Owen is a good example.

The "bald combo" made Gerrard suffer, but there was nothing he could do. Today's Liverpool, it can be said that Gerrard is struggling to support himself in the front.

David Moyes is right, restricting Gerrard is the same as limiting Liverpool. As for To, he doesn't score the winning goal at the end of the game, does he?

"It was very irresponsible for Gerrard to reveal to the media that he wanted to leave." Former Arsenal manager George Brown, who was the guest commentator for the game. Graham saw a sigh on the pitch and said 'If he really wants to leave, he should talk to the club and the coach privately. ”

In the 37th minute of the game, the score was still 0-0.

Reese struggled to shovel Everton's breakaway off the touchline.

Every time Graveson picked up the ball on the sidelines, the Everton fans in the front row kept patting the Dane on the back and saying a few harsh words of encouragement.

The "hideous" bald man turned his head and grinned at the corner of his mouth, revealing an unnatural smile.

On the other side, Gerald pinched his waist with both hands, his expression heavy.

Gravison's bald head is remarkable, not only limiting Gerrard's playmaking in defence, but also enlivening the entire Everton team with his dribbling and passing in attack.

After the throw-in, the Danish bald head forced his way forward.

Gary Cahill spotted a through ball from the gap and Gravisen was smart enough not to break through with the ball, but to push the ball with the outside of his foot and continue to charge towards the box.

This one-two pass is extremely difficult to defend and requires the cooperation of defenders and their own defensive ability.

As a goalkeeper, although Tang Wu can understand what is going on, there is no way to command his teammates through words in such a fast two-by-one.

More often than not, Tang Wu can only rely on himself.

No.14 Kilbani was caught between two Liverpool defenders and reached out for the ball from Gravison, with his toes just below it.

In this way, Kilbani did not need to control the ball, but only flicked it into the air and attracted two Liverpool defenders.

Hyypia and Josemi looked at the ball overhead, turning too late to watch Graveson overtake him towards the penalty spot.

At this moment, almost all Liverpool players have no choice but to pin their hopes on the goalkeeper.

"Kilbani picks..."

"Danger!"

"Gavison..."

"Header!"

Zhan Jun's heart was in his throat.

As soon as Kilbani's right foot was raised, Tang Wu said that he was not good, and hurriedly abandoned the door and walked out.

"Bang!" Gravison's bald head was the first to touch the ball.

Gravisen's impact was unmatched, and his team-mate's pick and pass found the Danish midfielder.

In a hurry, Tang Wu could only subconsciously stretch out his arms to block the ball.

"Bang!"

After another muffled sound, Tang Wu's mind was full of question marks as he jumped up and blocked.

That's not right!

I just seem to have saved the ball, huh?

The tactile sensation of leather and gloves colliding has been transmitted from latex to Tang Wu's palm, and then the signal is transmitted to the brain.

But out of the habit of a goalkeeper, Tang Wu still struggled to reach out and try to hold the ball in his arms.

In this way, a round rumbling thing slammed directly into Tang Wu's chest, and the powerful impact force hit the ribs through the thickened pad on Tang Wu's chest.

Tang Wu didn't react when he hit it, but a second later, Tang Wu felt like he had broken his ribs, and his chest tightened.

"This ball has such a big impact?"

Tang Wu couldn't care so much anymore, so he could only hold the ball tightly and fall from the air to the ground.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle.

"My God, what is Tang Wu doing?"

Zhan Jun's eyes widened and he looked at the screen with Huang Jianxiang.

On the big screen at the scene, a round oily object was held in Tang Wu's arms, and the ball that had just been bounced off had flown out of bounds.

"Fack! How long are you going to hold it? The Danish midfielder's roar was heard beneath him.

"Walter?" Tang Wu was taken aback, and hurriedly looked down at his arms.

Where is the black and white ball in your arms? What he was holding was Gavison's big bald head!
