7pm, Goodison Park, Merseyside 205th derby, sea and fire, cold and passion.

“here we go， here we go～”

The singing never stops, and the noise is overwhelming, like a steaming meeting of water and fire, with gunsmoke everywhere and the fog of war filled.

Just like the Gemini Castor and Pollax, they are entangled with each other but hate each other for a hundred years.

They were created at about the same time and entered glory at different times.

They almost never downgrade, and then fall into recession at the same moment.

Their pitches face each other across the park, with the sea on one side and the flames on the other.

Their ambitions have never been extinguished, you sing, I will appear.

They are Liverpool and Everton, the hottest derby in the history of English football in the past century! Not one of them.

Do tactics matter? Does style of play matter? All you have to do is chase the ball at your feet, fall again and again, get back up again and again, and show your bloodthirsty teeth and fierce eyes to your enemies.

Be like a man, show your courage, hold your back, make them afraid, let them fear, prove to them that this city is our color!

Carragher, Gerrard is a native of Liverpool, and Mackin is from Liverpool's academy, so there is no need for any mobilization before the game.

It was precisely because this game was the focus of the whole England and was extremely hot that the FA sent Clattenburg, the famous Premier League golden whistle, to enforce the game.

Sky Sports and the BBC have both fielded top-notch commentators and commentators, including famous Liverpool legends Alan Hansen and McCa.

Domestic fans are depressed, due to the lack of follow-up negotiations on TV rights, the Premier League has officially taken off the line of major sports stations, and fans can only go over the wall online.

Jonathan came to the scene in person, and in the past two weeks, he has been in contact with Peter, expressing great sincerity, willing to increase the share discount from 10% to 20%, surrounded by wolves, to grab the meat, you have to spend some money.

The atmosphere of this shock can make anyone crazy, various pre-game analysis and predictions, strength comparison, but unfortunately they are not Benitez, this old man no one looks at the top of his head to see if there are two spins, and it is a mess when he twists it up.

Torres may have been tired during the international break and came back with a little discomfort in his calf, Alonso was also injured, and Benitez didn't bring any of them.

Gerrard's right toe injury has recurred, and this season, except for scoring a world-class kick in the first round, he has suffered a goal drought so far, and his form has not been at its best, which is not the same as the previous two seasons.

Benitez had hinted before that he would close the international game, but Gerrard didn't listen, and he still played with an injury in Russia, he grew up with traditional English football culture and was a fighter, but in Benitez's eyes, it was almost equivalent to stupidity.

If it weren't for the fact that he was the captain, and it was a derby, and Benitez's brain wasn't completely broken, I guess he would have dared to stay at Melwood.

Liverpool pieced together a four-way line-up to Goodison Park, and as soon as the list came out, it shattered its glasses.

Goalkeeper: Reina

Defenders: Aurelio, Hyypia, Skrtel, Carragher, Finnan

Midfielders: Benayoun, Mascherano, Gerrard, Kuyt

Forward: Voronin

Subs: Itanji, Ager, Lucas, Mack, Crouch

The whole stadium was even crazier at the moment when the list was announced, haha! Liverpool is scared!

Carragher and Gerrard felt very harsh when they heard the ridicule coming from the stands, and they didn't know why Benitez had a defensive lineup for this game, and it was the manager's natural right to line up the lineup, so there was no explanation.

"Yoyo, poor clown, come to Mom's arms~"

"The faint-hearted get out of Liverpool~"

"You're just a bunch of cowards~"

Although the number of Red Army fans is small, of course, they are not to be outdone, there are too many old stalks in the history of the two teams, and they immediately sang and scolded back.

"Uh, McCa, what do you think of Liverpool's starting XI today?" , Peterson was a little surprised to hold the starter.

"I heard that Alonso and Torres are injured, Enrique is considered a normal rotation, Benitez may be in the Champions League three days later, after all, in this group, Liverpool is not completely to the point of peace of mind, but to be honest, this starter, will let us lose in the opening momentum"

McManaman is polite here, and Alan Hansen on the BBC side directly criticized Benitez, these retired celebrities, their mouths are unforgiving.

'Benitez made a huge mistake, Liverpool haven't played 541 this season and most importantly, it's at Goodison Park, how can he line up defensively? Liverpool never win battles by defending sneak attacks, they have to be like a man! ”

Well, two decades, unable to understand each other.

In those days, Everton legend Dean mailed aspirin to Liverpool players before the derby (meaning to cure headaches first); Liverpool legend Jamie Keys and others will kick the toilet door of the away team's dressing room every time they go to Goodison Park before retreating.

At that time, it was all naked confrontation, so the main disagreement between the old Highey and Benitez was here, in Benitez's eyes, it was just an ordinary league, and his focus was always on the rationality of the tactical arrangement.

No one is right or wrong, and things from that era will eventually be replaced by a more professional sports model, and Benitez also ignores that it is people, not machines, who play football, and they have regional ideas, all kinds of emotions, and even racial ideas.

It is these peripherals that make football full of stories, and no matter how well a group of robots play, no one will watch it.

The dressing room before the game was extremely dull, as if suppressing an unwilling, depressed, and angry mood, combined with the pervasive noise outside, the air was viscous as if it was about to paste on the skin, making people breathless.

Gerrard clenched his fists tightly, his cousin was killed in the tragedy, and Liverpool was more than just the team he played for.

He wants Liverpool to be brilliant, he wants him to be great, he and his cousin have been Liverpool fans since childhood, only a greater Liverpool can pay tribute to those 96 souls, they have not yet been wronged.

The relationship between the local forces, led by Gerrard and Carragher, and Benitez is not bad, but it is not very good either, and they have almost no communication outside the stadium.

Benitez is Liverpool's most successful manager since returning to Europe, and for Liverpool, there is no reason why they should not support him, and there is also the Spanish gang in the team, which obviously has more trust from Liverpool, and they are the real descendants.

Many of Benitez's philosophies are at odds with Anfield or even English football, and he is now in the best moment of his life, and it is certainly impossible to compromise in his heart.

Gerrard's dissatisfaction with the manager's line-up can only be hidden in their hearts, and then vent to the damn Everton when they get to the field, so that they can know who is the master of this city!

Suffocated, no one can clearly understand what tactics Benitez is arranging, what tactics are needed in this kind of game, this is how Mack Qin feels.

Like putting on a silent movie, he didn't understand until this moment what the Merseyside derby was, and as long as there were Liverpudlians in the team, it would never die.

Everything he had seen in the stands before, fierce mutual ridicule, fiery singing confrontation, in the face of this silent oppression, it was nothing, it could freeze the mind!

Everyone's adrenaline hormones are violently stimulated, and the blood is up, when the two teams of twenty-two people are in the same green field in this state, you can imagine what will happen~

"Boom~", the moment they walked out of the locker room and into the stadium, they were greeted by overwhelming boos.

In the stadium of 40,000 people, you have to have a strong heart to keep your legs from trembling.

Carragher patted him behind Mackchen, he looked back at the team deputy, Carragher squeezed his shoulder hard, and the two of them looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

At this moment today, he will officially usher in the baptism brought by this red spirit, and there are a thousand words without words!

Old Haiwei, Marco, Hugh, and Aslitchich sat in the stands and looked at Makqin walking out of the aisle, as if they were looking at a fire carrying inheritance, will it be ignited?

After the winter break, the elder Highey and Marco decided to officially retire, Hugh and Astratt will go to Melwood to be integrated into the new academy system. It really will become a football academy.
