This weekend is the day of the FA Cup quarter-finals, with Everton being knocked out 2-0 by Manchester United in the previous round, so there is no official match.

As a part-time caddy, Lonshette could have been given a rare break, but he was called out by the first-team coach to work on a friendly match with several other caddies.

It was obviously just an inconsequential friendly game, but whether it was the manager Moyes on the sidelines or the main first-team players on the field, everyone looked very positive, the forwards spared no effort to run in and out of the penalty area, and the defenders showed their soles to each other with hideous faces, and the referee's whistle came and went one after another.

Long Shute looked puzzled, and he couldn't help but ask the other little caddy next to him: "Rose, do we have a grudge against each other?" Why is it so intense? ”

The little boy named Ross Barkley, who was three and a half years younger than him, was the captain of Everton's U13 team, and when he heard this question, the young captain rolled his eyes disapprovingly, as if he was looking at an idiot: "Please, we are going to play Liverpool in the next round of the league!" ”

"Liverpool?" Ronshit seems to have heard the name somewhere, "So what? ”

"It's a Merseyside derby!" Barkley couldn't stand his ignorance and stupidity, and spread his legs and ran to pick up the ball.

Long Shute silently looked at the players on the field who were oversecreted by hormones, still confused.

Merseyside ...... Derby?

What's that?!

-

A week later, he had a deep understanding of what a derby is.

You don't even need to be on match day to be him, a week in advance, and the whole city of Liverpool is full of vibe.

The clash between red and blue became the city's dominant colours, with the red Liverpool flag and the blue Everton flag sticking out of the window of every home to mark the family's colour belonging.

Everton was founded 14 years earlier than Liverpool, but the latter's worldwide popularity and influence have completely exploded the former, and the century-long history and grievances have long been a fierce confrontation between the two people, and the city derby is about to break out.

Over the course of the week, the streets of Liverpool seem to be filled with numerous patrolling policemen, who are on guard in front of the pubs as if they are facing a big enemy, to prevent drunken drunkard fans from fighting each other or even raising torches to set each other or themselves on fire......

When the day of the game came, the tension and excitement were at their highest.

Countless people poured into Liverpool's Anfield stadium with singing and dancing, and the red and blue crowds met unexpectedly on the street, they first waved the red and blue flags rationally and calmly, and when they found that such a civilized act was not enjoyable, these people invariably stretched out their middle fingers, and humiliated each other's ancestors with a foul language that men would be silent when they heard it, and women would cry when they heard it......

In order to support the home team and cultivate a sense of belonging to the young players, Everton FC organized all the echelons to go to Anfield to watch the game, even a few Chinese players.

As soon as they walked through the narrow passage and entered the interior of the Anfield stadium, a strong and fiery noise rushed over their faces, and the young players with poor mental fitness even felt that they could not breathe.

Long Shute, who was sitting in the stands, couldn't help but open his mouth, his ears seemed to be ringing slightly all the time, and this feeling was like flying in the clouds.

When the red and blue players slowly walked out of the corridor, this feeling reached its climax!

Loudspeakers over the Anfield stadium cheered on their players with the biggest decibels, and fanned a wave of red to sweep through the stands.

As the players walked out one by one, the names of those mighty Europe resounded throughout the stadium.

Dudek, Reese, Carragher, Finnan, Pellegrino, Smitchell, Hamann, Baroshe, Garcia, Morientes......

And, of course, the captain of this Reds, 25-year-old Steven Gerrard.

When Gerald was the last to step out of the aisle, Ronshit's tinnitus reached its worst, and he felt the seat under his ass tremble violently, and the roof above his head seemed to be shaken off at any moment.

He wasn't one of those young and ignorant kids, but his legs were still shaking uncontrollably.

He couldn't help but gulp in the air to ease the discomfort in his heart, and the young players he usually trained with were equally pale in their faces, and their cheers were drowned out by a huge red wave, like a withered leaf falling into a huge wave.

"When you walk through the storm,

Hold your head high,

Don't be afraid of the darkness,

At the end of that storm,

It's a golden sky,

and the sweet song of the lark.

Walking through the wind, walking through the rain,

Maybe your dreams will be shattered,

Advance!

Go forward with the hope in your heart!

But you'll never walk alone,

You'll never walk alone......"

The deep but penetrating singing resounded throughout the stadium, and the blue-shirted Everton players were like lambs to the slaughter in front of the opposing red army.

Everton are fourth in the league, but Liverpool are only sixth......

Obviously the Everton players get more time to rest......

Liverpool have also played in previous Champions League matches, and their fitness form does not have any advantage......

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has been in charge for less than a year, and his tactical style of play has not yet been fully integrated into the team, and the relationship between the large number of Spanish players he has brought in has not been very good with the English homegrown players......

Obviously, the captain of the Red Army, Gerrard, looks so hard, and next year he is young, but he looks decrepit......

Everton's players look younger and more dynamic......

Clearly...... Liverpool striker Baros was sent off with a red card in less than 70 minutes......

Obviously Liverpool played one less......

But when the full-time whistle blew over Anfield after 90 minutes, Everton, who looked as if they should have won, left their arch-rivals in disgrace.

Ronshit followed the team down the stands, and before leaving, he turned to look at the red crowd in the stadium.

The Liverpool team is celebrating like crazy!

Liverpool fans were able to let out a roar that made everyone scream after almost three hours of play!

The canopy of Anfield seemed to be rattling, and the white clouds in the sky seemed to be dispersed by the sound!

Sending off a person?

Busy schedule?

Fighting on two fronts?

Exhausted?

Tactical run-in?

Hopeless of winning the league?

Want to focus on the Champions League?

The captain is too young?

Sorry, none of this is a problem!

It's a Merseyside derby!

This is Anfield!

It's their territory!

This Red Army never gave in!

It's a derby!

It's football!
