In order to clear the ball out of the danger zone, Van Dijk's header was very powerful, and the ball was pushed directly out of the penalty area.

Henderson grabbed the spot, and the Liverpool captain then ferried the ball to Lallana, who launched a counter-attack with a direct long ball.

"Counter-attack - Liverpool's chance!"

Football to Mane's feet.

Seeing Mane get the ball, Martinez frowned, in his opinion, Salah and Jiang Chenxi are the most threatening in the Liverpool team, but the most incomprehensible thing for Martinez is Mane, this Senegalese player sometimes performs very averagely, but when he is in excellent condition, it is shocking, this is that Mane is not mature enough, and he still needs to be sharpened, but now everyone knows that Liverpool has picked up the baby again, and Southampton is really a good buddy of Liverpool.

Mane made Martinez jealous.

In the tactical arrangement before the game, Martinez also specifically told his players to be careful of Mane.

Therefore, after seeing Mane get the ball at this time, the Everton players on the field naturally began to get nervous, Bešić stared closely at the football at his feet, and he must not blindly make the first move.

Mane's upper body shook suddenly, and Bešić thought he was going to break through, so he hurriedly leaned back and prepared to intercept. Unexpectedly, Mane was just a feint, and after a false shot, the Senegalese young man calmly passed the football to Lallana, who was inserted on the wing.

Besic, who was teased by Mane, didn't even have time to resent, turned around and ran into the penalty area, Mane is dangerous, and Lallana is also dangerous.

Lallana was suddenly diagonally crossed.

Then one saw Emrejan take possession of the ball, who sent the ball to the right and Salah took possession.

"Stop the Egyptians!" Everton manager Martinez shouted from the sidelines.

Salah's high-speed dribbling and sudden inward shooting have almost become Salah's signature.

It must not be possible for Salah to cut inside calmly or have a chance to shoot.

When Jiang Chenxi saw Mane get the ball, he began to swim in front of the goal, ready to sprint at any time.

After seeing Salah receive the ball, Jiang Chenxi immediately began to sprint to the goal.

Stones's attention was always on Jiang Chenxi's body, seeing him running towards the door, he immediately followed closely, Stones knew that Jiang Chenxi's speed was very fast, so he had to keep up tightly and not give Jiang Chenxi room to accelerate, otherwise, Stones knew that he would not be able to stop Jiang Chenxi.

Seeing an Everton defender coming up, Salah immediately passed the ball to Henderson and he ran forward.

Henderson passed the ball to Sadio Mane on the other side, who passed the ball again and the ball was at the feet of Lallana again.

Liverpool's small-range pass and Everton's two flanks were exhausted.

At this moment, Lallana knocked the ball, Mane cut in at high speed, and a change of direction broke through Bešic.

Seeing his own full-back being breached, Everton centre-back Jagielka hurried up to intercept.

'Sadio Mane and Salah are both fast players and Everton's players don't dare to be careless! They can only get tired of running for their lives, and you can only grit your teeth when you know that the opponent is tossing you in the face of such a player, because you have no idea that he will suddenly show his fangs at some point! ”

Seeing Jagielka coming up, Mane suddenly accelerated the ball, relying on his own speed to tear a gap from the side of Jagielka, who was rushing up, and then he did not choose to cut inside, but directly crossed with his feet!

Liverpool's successive and rapid passes, as well as the full use of the wings to frequently tear apart Everton's defence, made the fans in front of the TV very enjoyable to watch.

"Beautiful! Liverpool make the most of the width of the field! ”

"Mane – he crosses!"

Stones turned back to look for Jiang Chenxi after seeing Salah's cross, but after his eyes quickly scanned the crowd, he didn't find any trace of Jiang Chenxi! This discovery made his back immediately covered with cold sweat!

What about Jiang Chenxi?

Where is he?!

Liverpool's most threatening one, he actually lost it?!

"Jiang Chenxi!" The narrator suddenly shouted excitedly.

Soon after the game started, Jiang Chenxi saw that Stones was not leaving him, and of course he guessed that Stones would be a defender who was specifically responsible for marking him, so he was thinking about how to get rid of Stones.

While cruising around the penalty area, he suddenly accelerated to the left, and when he attracted Stones to speed up, he made a sharp stop and then turned around!

Pounce on the other side!

"Oh! Jiang Chenxi - he caught the ball - broke through! ”

"Damn! Stop him! Everton's goalkeeper Hoel shouted loudly, he was too nervous, everyone knew what it meant to let a superstar like Jiang Chenxi dribble into the box.

……

Barnes, who had just completed a beautiful header in his own corner kick tactics, finally came to make up for it.

From Liverpool's penalty area, running back to his own penalty area, the tired and panting Barnes saw that Stones was deceived by Jiang Chenxi's running position, and his goal was in crisis, he gritted his teeth and saw the right time to tackle!

It takes a lot of courage and experience.

Because Jiang Chenxi is in the penalty area, once he doesn't tackle the football, this is a penalty, and he may even eat at least a yellow card, and if he is unlucky, a red card is also possible.

"Oops!" Martinez was startled on the sidelines, and he was most worried that Barnes would tackle someone, and it would be a penalty.

Jiang Chenxi seemed to have expected Barnes to release the shovel, he made a move, only to see him flick the football outward with his right foot, and then jumped, although clumsy, but effectively dodged the sliding shovel, and then he hit it with his foot.

Seeing Jiang Chenxi shooting, Hoel immediately flew to save the ball.

However, Jiang Chenxi's shot, the angle is very tricky, the ball has an arc in the air, Hoel thought he could pounce on the ball, but he didn't expect the arc of the football to spin outward, cross the hand, and continue to fly, Hoel, who was already in the air, could only helplessly turn his head to look at the football flying towards the goal, unable to do anything.

Bang!

The ball hit the underside of the crossbar with a crunch, then fell and bounced into the net.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAL！”

“JIANG——GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAL！”

"Jiang Chenxi - he shot - the ball - went in! Come in! Come in! Come in! Come in! Come in! Come in! Come in! Come in! Come in!! ”

“Yes！ GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAL！！！ ”

"Jiang Chenxi!! Liverpool have scored! It was a very important goal! ”

"One to zero! In the fifth minute of the game, Liverpool scored! It was Jiang Chenxi who scored the goal! ”

"Jiang Chenxi! He scored! It was his ninth goal in the FA Cup this season! He opened the scoring for Liverpool! ”

After the goal, Jiang Chenxi led the players all the way to the stands where the Liverpool fans were, constantly making gestures to encourage the Liverpool fans, which caused a crazy red wave.

……

In the stands of the new Wembley Stadium, at this moment, the red wave is already overwhelming, and the blue sea water is suppressed by the red magma.

"Damn it!" Martinez burst into a foul language on the sidelines, this conceded goal came too quickly, according to Martinez's original plan, Liverpool may attack at the beginning, Everton only need to withstand this wave of attack, and then put pressure on Liverpool's goal to fight for the first goal and seize the initiative. Then, there is hope that this game will be won.

He didn't expect the team to concede so early.

The Everton players on the pitch also looked very frustrated. Barnes held his head in his hands and looked at the football in the net.

Stones was also a little distracted, for this goal, he was more responsible, he actually lost Jiang Chenxi, this is Liverpool's most threatening player.

Martinez took advantage of the dead ball to shout Stones to the sidelines, and he explained to his defensive core, saying, "Don't think about this goal, the game has just begun, and it is better to concede a goal at this time than to concede a goal at the last moment!" ”

Stones nodded, the head coach's words, although it was comforting, but it was not unreasonable.

"Let McCarthy defend more and contain Jiang Chenxi." Martinez continued.

Stones nodded silently, he knew that this was Martinez's question about whether he could prevent Jiang Chenxi by himself. So, let McCarthy sacrifice offense to help him defend.

Although this made him a little depressed in his heart, it was a fact, and he couldn't prevent Jiang Chenxi alone.

Jiang Chenxi is very happy, he knows that his goal is important for the whole team, and he knows how important this goal to break the deadlock is.

Especially in this kind of knockout match, the pressure on the first team to score will be much less.

……

However, after the game restarted, Jiang Chenxi began to feel that he was not as relaxed as before he scored.

Everton stepped up their marking against him.

An attack by Liverpool, Emre Can passed the ball to Jiang Chenxi.

Jiang Chenxi leaned on McCarthy, who was defending him, intending to fight for the top.

Jiang Chenxi's judgment on the landing of the ball made Jiang Chenxi take the lead again when he grabbed the point, Jiang Chenxi had already jumped up, but he was still in place, he was already behind, and he would definitely not be able to compete for the top. But you can't let him go like this!

Jiang Chenxi pushed the football away, and then he was about to sprint to participate in the attack after landing on the ground, when he was pushed from behind, and his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell into the mud.

"Foul!" The Liverpool fans shouted angrily.

It is indeed a foul.

Referee Atkinson's whistle sounded before running towards the scene of the incident, and judging by his gestures, it was awarded a foul on Everton.

Stones came up and pulled McCarthy up, then patted him on the shoulder: "Well done!" "This is a tactical foul, if Jiang Chenxi's header is crossed and then sprinted, Everton's goal will be in danger, Jiang Chenxi's speed is too fast, too difficult to defend, and this Chinese star also has a very good long-range shot, such a player simply makes the defender desperate, fortunately, Jiang Chenxi's dexterous skills are still a little lacking, otherwise, the defender really has no way to live.

……

Liverpool's free-kick opportunity.

This foul is a little further away from the goal, and it is impossible to shoot directly at goal.

Lallana sent out a free kick, after a series of cooperation, and finally after the cooperation of Salah and Jiang Chenxi, outside the penalty area, a long shot came, and the football was blocked by Everton defender Barnes, and then Jiang Chenxi shot again, this time the football was only slightly above the crossbar, and the quality of the shot was still very high.

Liverpool scored first to take the lead and continued to attack, but Everton's side were not without the ability to fight back.

In fact, Everton's starting line-up is quite good, with a strong striker like Romelu Lukaku in front of them, and players like Deulofeu and Allen Lennon on either side, and the attacking side is still very threatening.

Gibson sent a hidden through ball into the box, Ross Barkley's fake run drew the attention of the Liverpool backline, while Deulofeu cut in the gap between Virgil van Dijk and Flanagan in the space.

Deulofeu, who received the ball, faced goalkeeper Mignolet directly.

The Everton fans are ready to cheer.

Deulofeu shoots with his feet!

Then the ball bounced up and went over the crossbar.

This is someone who just reached out on the side and blocked Deulofeu's shot!

"It's Van Dijk! He returned in time to block the shot! ”

"Brilliant defense! This is Van Dijk's second rescue! ”

Deulofeu saw that the ball was blocked by Van Dijk, he looked quite frustrated, he held his head in his hands depressed, squatted there, and suddenly came out to face the goalkeeper just now, Deulofeu was excited, he was already sure that he would be able to score, but he didn't expect the Dutchman to chase back from behind and stretch out his foot to block it at a critical moment.

……

Commentators from all over the world have been praising Virgil van Dijk in their own words, and the Dutch defender has suddenly risen to prominence this season.

In fact, after almost a season, Van Dijk's success has made a new inspirational story.

Virgil van Dijk is one of the few people who does the dirty work so well, and no one in the Premier League has managed to get past him in one-on-one situations so far this season. In the words of Liverpool's vice-president Jiang Chenxi, Van Dijk is the kind of person who seems to be able to snatch the ball without any special moves.

He once joked that Virgil van Dijk is one of the few defenders he has come across so far who can get a block before he can shoot.

On Liverpool's official website, Van Dijk's inspirational story is also featured.

Ten years ago, the Dutch defender did the dirty work, not on the pitch, but in the back of the kitchen.

Van Dijk, who was 17 at the time, was part of the academy of Willem II in the Netherlands. The main area of his life is the school and the stadium, and between the two is a local restaurant called "Oncle Jean" in Breda, where he works as a dishwasher in his spare time, earning 3 euros an hour.

Van Dijk showed consistent effort on the third pitch and on the third pitch off campus. Restaurant owner Lips recalls that Van Dijk worked harder than everyone else to brush the dishes, couldn't find fault with the work, and never shied away from being busy, and was always on duty on the best two days of the week.

This dedication and hard work impressed the boss, and he wanted to keep the young man and entrust him with heavier responsibilities. "I really wanted him to stay, and I told him not to play professional football and to make money here." However, Van Dijk's goal has always been firm, and he works part-time just to earn enough money to go to driving school so that he can drive and spend more time training.

"It turns out I was wrong, I've never made a mistake that made me so happy. My restaurant has lost a good employee and Dutch football has welcomed a top defender. The boss said.

It wasn't long before the up-and-coming Virgil van Dijk moved to FC Groningen at the age of 18, and Willem II is still regretting that they may have missed out on the best player in the club's history. Coach Loningdijk at the time recalled that the team that was mired in relegation did not have time to discover young people, and he knew that a group of talents had emerged in the echelon but had no time to investigate

Also on the lookout are the Eredivisie triumvirate Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord. All three teams have a good youth tradition and star discovery ability, and have sent a large number of stars to world football, but they all gave up the opportunity to bring in Van Dijk after the inspection.

Van Dijk, who has excelled in the Scottish Premier League, was eyed by Southampton, who had just joined Southampton last summer and was poached by Liverpool before he even had time to play a competitive game for Southampton, and then there was the Dutch defender who dominated the Reds' defence.

……

Liverpool, who escaped, also immediately fired back.

Lallana made a long pass to the feet of Henderson, who inserted a front assist on the right side, Henderson and Salah who came to meet made a wall-hitting cooperation, and passed the football horizontally, Mane missed the football, followed by Jiang Chenxi to pull the ball horizontally, and then suddenly accelerated to shake off the defender, and suddenly shot a long shot.

After the ball was blocked by a defender, Emre Can swept the ball wide and the inserted Flanagan got in front of Barnes to get the ball, which he rubbed into the box.

Jiang Chenxi and Salah inserted two points in front and back respectively, ready to grab points.

Everton goalkeeper Hoel got ahead of Salah, who was grabbing the spot, to play the ball out.

The football was kicked out of the penalty area, and then people saw Milner rushing up and shooting a long shot against the football!

"Bang !!"

It was a powerful shot that would have been a great shot if it had gone in, but the post denied Milner's brilliant shot.

'It's a shame Milner's shot was blocked by the post!'

"Everton escaped, and if it weren't for the help of the post, they would have been down 0-2, in which case Everton would have little hope of coming back again!"

'Everton were lucky, but Deulofeu wasted that one-on-one chance just now, which is something that shouldn't have been.'

'Normally, in a knockout game like this, both sides would be more conservative, but today Everton and Liverpool were quite aggressive. Zhan Jun said.

"This may have been influenced by Jiang Chenxi's goal, which stimulated both sides of the game, and they both entered the fast pace!" Zhang Lu said, "It's very fun to watch the two sides attack, I have a hunch that the next goal will come soon, hehehe." ”

He really guessed correctly, and the next goal came quickly.

……

In the 21st minute of the game, Liverpool won a corner kick in front, Lallana took a corner, Van Dijk's header was directly held by the goalkeeper, and then Everton launched a quick counterattack.

The Everton goalkeeper threw the ball directly to the central defender Stones, and then, Stones suddenly made a long pass to the front in his own half, Mane was not tight, Deulofeu took two quick steps, made a long-range shot, attracted the attention of Liverpool's defense, and suddenly split the ball diagonally, and then people saw Lukaku stop the ball on his chest, carry Gomez, and then shoot with his feet!

The ball arced, crossed the ten fingers of Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet, and flew into the net!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL！”

"Deulofeu's pass – Lukaku – shot – GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!"

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL！”

"Great goal!"

"Wonderful blow!"

1：1！！

Everton scored, and the new Wembley Stadium was a sea of blue again, and the Everton fans erupted in huge cheers.

This goal is too important for Everton!

In the North Fans Stand at the new Wembley Stadium, Everton fans shouted like crazy.

Mignolet looked angry, Liverpool's backline had an unshirkable responsibility for this goal, and it was unforgivable that the team's defense was so easily penetrated by Everton.

……

Martinez finally smiled on the sidelines, Lukaku's goal was so crucial, Everton equalised, the pressure on the players will be much less, and most importantly, it gives the players confidence that the preparation and effort put in by the whole team for this game is effective and worthwhile.

Martinez smiled, his colleague Klopp was thunderous, Jiang Chenxi opened the scoring for the team, which made Klopp feel very good, I didn't expect Everton to equalize so quickly, and this conceded goal was too easy, a long pass directly in the backfield, after Deulofeu took the ball, assuming a real pass, and then Lukaku almost carried Gomez to complete a blast.

And just like that, the ball went in?! Liverpool's defence is simply porous in this defence.

This mistake, in Klopp's opinion, is unforgivable, first of all, when Deulofeu took the ball, no one followed up and interfered in time, and in addition, when goalkeeper Mignolet blocked Lukaku's shot, the position in front of the goal was problematic, he was unable to block the near corner.

"It shouldn't be!" Jurgen Klopp angrily said, "It was too easy to concede. ”

'This time it was Van Dijk who went up and didn't have time to get back to the defense, and Everton's counter-attack was simple and fast. Assistant coach Kravitz said, "The opponent grabbed the space after Van Dijk went up to participate in the set-piece attack! Their tactics were correct. ”

Jurgen Klopp nodded, he agreed with his assistant's words, but should Van Dijk not go up and get involved in set-pieces?

Jurgen Klopp was a bit reluctant to settle down, and the Dutchman's header was a great and important scoring tool for Liverpool from set-pieces.

In the end, Jurgen Klopp pulled Milner aside and told him to play up set-pieces when Van Dijk went up to take on set-pieces, and Milner was up in the middle to help fill in the gaps before the centre-backs.

Milner nodded yes, he is the brick the manager needs, where he needs to go.
