Chapter Forty-Five: This Is the Merseyside Derby (First Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
"Eat ()! You red clowns!! ”
Everton fans in blue shirts stood in the stands, leaning down and raising their middle fingers at the Liverpool players in the pitch.
Such shouting and scolding resounded in the sky, and became the only sound on the Goodison Park stadium.
In the background of their shouting and scolding was the electronic scoreboard on the pitch, which showed the score - 2:0. In international practice, the home team is in front and the away team is in the back.
"This is the Merseyside derby!" The narrator shouted excitedly. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Merseyside Derby! Before the game, everyone thought that Liverpool would not have a problem winning the game, and in the game, they are falling behind the home team Everton with a score of 0:2! Distin just took advantage of a corner kick and scored the second goal for the team! ”
Everton centre-back Distin, surrounded in the middle by his team-mates, celebrated the goal.
They were given backgrounds by dejected Liverpool players.
Forty minutes into the first half, Liverpool didn't score a single goal, but allowed Everton, who they despised before the game, to score two.
This has frustrated Liverpool from top to bottom.
Martin. O'Neill even angrily kicked a bottle of water off the sidelines. He had reason to be angry, because he repeatedly told him before the game, don't take the enemy lightly, don't take the enemy lightly...... And the result!
If this is not a light enemy, then there is no light enemy!
"In the first half of this game, the Liverpool players played very badly, especially their defence, allowing the opponent to score two goals so easily!"
'Liverpool were weak in the first half, neither Hero nor Suarez could score. Chen Yingying, who was in good form before, seems to have forgotten to put on shooting boots in this game (). ”
The TV broadcast also gave Chen Yingying a close-up.
In the footage, Chen Yingying frowned and looked at the celebratory Everton players.
'Liverpool have been doing well since the start of the new season, but it's been a little too smooth for them...... Now they have to pay for their underestimating enemies! ”
※※※
Until the end of the first half, Liverpool did not score.
Everyone walked back to the dressing room with their heads down, knowing that at half-time, it was not a smile and praise from the manager that awaited them, but a storm!
They guessed right.
Martin. O'Neill scolded Liverpool's players at half-time.
Including captains like Chen Yingying and Gerald, but his tone softened slightly when he scolded Gerald and Chen Yingying.
But that harshness is still felt by everyone.
"I won't make any adjustments in the second half!" Martin. O'Neill finally said. "I don't have any problems with my tactics, if I lose the game, it's because you underestimate the enemy! As long as you can get your mentality right, the equaliser is not a problem, even if you win this game, it is not impossible! But if you still don't change this mentality of underestimating the enemy, you will wait to lose this game! Losing to an opponent in the Merseyside derby! ”
After scolding, O'Neill turned and walked out of the locker room. Only five minutes had passed at halftime, and there were still ten minutes left before the start of the second half. Normally, O'Neill would affirm the team's performance at half-time and then talk about what the team was going to do in the second half......
This time, O'Neill walked so simply, it can be seen that he is really angry.
In fact, after just coming to the team, O'Neal gave the players the impression of a serious, but elegant head coach image, rarely losing his temper, and wearing glasses also looks very self-contained ().
Able to bring Martin. O'Neal was so angry, it can be seen that Liverpool's performance in the first half was really bad......
The manager is gone, but the break is not over yet, so what to do next?
A group of people looked at each other.
At this point, Gerald stood up.
"I apologize to everyone!" Gerald said the first thing he said, and he raised his arm. "We really underestimated our opponents in this game, including me, who didn't take our opponents seriously...... It was a serious mistake and now we have been punished. I don't want to lose away from home. The Merseyside derby has a special meaning to me. Every season, Liverpool have two opponents that they can't afford to lose, one is Everton and the other is Manchester United! So in the second half, I hope you can cheer up with me. There are still 45 minutes to go, there is still a lot of time and we are two goals behind, but I believe it is not a problem at all! ”
"yes, what's the big deal to be two goals behind!" Chen Yingying also stood up and waved his fist and said. "Everton aren't a great team, 45 minutes is enough for us to win them!"
"Now let's talk about how to ......play in the second half," Gerrard added.
※※※
Towards the start of the second half, Everton's players returned to the pitch from the dressing room, everyone with a palpable look of joy on their faces.
At half-time, they were praised by manager David Moyes.
Before the game, Moyes told them that the whole Liverpool team looked down on them because Liverpool were so bad last season and were able to double us down, and they will definitely take the double for granted this season.
He successfully aroused the fighting spirit of the Everton players, and gave Liverpool a fierce attack in the first half, killing Liverpool by surprise!
They had a two-goal lead in the first half, so what if there was still half a half? We've won!
That's why the Everton players are so happy.
When they came on the pitch, none of the Liverpool players had yet to appear. The Everton players thought to themselves that the Liverpool players must have been scolded by the manager for ten minutes, and now they are hurrying to set up tactics to figure out how to beat us in the second half...... What a pathetic!
Hey?
The proud Everton player suddenly discovers that Liverpool's manager Martin . O'Neill and the rest of the coaching staff are sitting in the away dugout.
None of the managers are in the dressing room? So what are the Liverpool players doing?
David Moyes followed the players to the sidelines, where he also saw Liverpool manager Martin Brown. O'Neill, he was a little surprised.
He thought O'Neill would be nervously arranging second-half tactics in the dressing room, trying to counter-attack in the second half.
But looking at this stance, O'Neill doesn't seem to be taking the situation of falling behind by two goals to heart?
That's not right!
When Liverpool conceded in the first half, he saw O'Neill kick the water bottle away. Does this seem like a sign of indifference?
But if he cared, why wasn't he in the dressing room at half-time, but in the dugout?
Moyes, like his own players, is puzzled by O'Neal's approach.
As time passed, this doubt became even heavier ().
Because the second half of the game is about to start, but there is still no movement on Liverpool's side!
Not a single Liverpool player came out of the dressing room, not even a substitute.
※※※
As the second half approached, Everton fans were chanting from the stands and cheering for Everton, while trying to put pressure on Liverpool fans and the players who were about to come on.
But the time for halftime is getting less and less, and none of the Liverpool players have made it, and the singing of these fans is getting quieter and quieter.
In the end, it was simply gone, because everyone thought it was strange.
What's going on with Liverpool?
All eyes were on Liverpool's coaching bench.
Maybe Martin. What does O'Neill know?
But they guessed wrong, Martin. O'Neill didn't know what was going on either. But he held his breath, he vaguely guessed something, anyway, what those bunnies did had nothing to do with him. In the second half of this game, he was going to not even leave the chair of the coach's seat with his butt.
So what exactly are the Liverpool players doing?
※※※
They're chatting in the locker room......
Gerrard proposed to discuss how to play in the second half, and everyone started to discuss. But it's actually like Martin. O'Neill said that the manager's tactics are fine, the problem is the attitude of the players.
Now that the attitude is correct, there are really few things that can be discussed.
So everyone was quick to get to the point.
Next, they were about to prepare to play, but at this time, everyone was stopped by Chen Yingying.
"Don't worry, guys. I'll tell you a story......"
Then Chen Yingying told the story of "one go" to everyone.
“…… So, Everton led us by two goals in the first half and their morale was high. I think in the second half we will have a very stubborn resistance. So we have to find a way to drain their fighting spirit and morale. I think we can postpone the minutes like in the story. Let them quickly consume their morale while waiting, and by that time, they will be greatly weakened and will not be able to pose a threat to us! And what about us? You can kill them in one go! ”
Gerald's eyes lit up after listening to Chen Yingying's words.
"That's right! The hero is right, we postponed the appearance and left them waiting outside! ”
Suarez also laughed: "Leave them out to dry, and then we'll chat here, hero, you're so bad, haha!" ”
So just like that, everyone listened to music, chatted and chatted, and some even closed their eyes and fell asleep.
It wasn't until the referees came out of the game that they found that Liverpool had not played, and after waiting for a minute, they were still nowhere to be seen, so they came to the door and reminded them that it was time to play.
In this way, the Liverpool players staggered out of the dressing room and reappeared on the pitch in groups of three or five.
The second half of the game can finally begin!
