18 Poor miscalculation
It's a derby, but the smell of gunpowder before the game doesn't seem to be particularly strong; Whether it is Liverpool or Everton, although they are bitter rivals in the same city, they did not create an atmosphere before the game to eat their opponents alive. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There is no need, the grievances between these two teams are not short, and the players of the two teams naturally understand this; So there's no need to be too deliberate to play it up, they're going to show the attitude they should have in a derby game.
On the day of the National Day, Beijing time, the seventh round of the 11-12 English Premier League was first played at Goodson Park, and Liverpool challenged Everton away; This is the 216th Merseyside derby, looking at the entire Merseyside derby, Liverpool's record is superior, and the Reds also have a slight advantage in the Premier League era; However, in the away showdown, the Reds are almost evenly matched with Everton.
In this game, both teams were holding back their strength to win it.
The Reds are naturally looking to maintain some advantage at the top of the table, and they are now sitting in the top four, but not enough insurance.
And Everton have too much resentment, thanks to the 'great neighbour', Everton has always played the role of the foil of the great Red Army, and they now want to overthrow Liverpool. In the past, Liverpool were strong, and it was not easy to beat the Reds, but now the Reds are not as strong as they thought, and this is a good opportunity.
Since their opener upset defeat to promoted Royal Garden Rangers, Everton are unbeaten in four games at home in all competitions and are in good form. And last season's Everton side also have fond memories of their home win over Liverpool 2-0 thanks to goals from Mikel Arteta and Gary Cahill.
However, Mikel Arteta has moved away and the Reds are no longer the same as last season. Liverpool have been making big moves this season, while Everton are still living a small business.
It was a stressful game for Everton, but they kept their morale high and they believed they could win Liverpool.
"We've changed a little bit of our lineup, and we've had a lot of changes on the Toffees' side. Saha is very powerful, although he is old, but his strength is still good. Cahill also seems to be quite level, and he is also an old man who is getting older and better. ”
Amid the boos of the toffee fans, Qin Lang slapped his face; In this match, he may need to pay attention to Cahill and Saha, both of whom are over 30 years old, and their strength should not be underestimated.
"It's a derby and the boos are exciting. If you don't have some psychological quality, you will definitely have weak legs. Fortunately, they are all old skins, and they have played a lot of big and small games, so they shouldn't be weak. ”
It must be admitted that the boos at Goodson Park are still very loud, and the crazy boos and abuse of more than 40,000 people, ordinary people really don't necessarily have the psychological quality to resist the pressure. Every time Liverpool's players controlled the ball, and every time the referee's decision was 'in the Reds' favour, the boos at Goodson Park grew wilder.
It's a stadium with such a fiery atmosphere that one suspects that the slightest spark might cause a riot.
It's not just the fans who are emotional, but the players on the pitch as well; Whether it's Liverpool's players or Everton's players, it's all the same.
Qin Lang felt that he needed to be careful, because Everton's players were very aggressive after the game; Both defensively and offensively, this team is playing incredibly tough right now.
This team hit four shots in the first fifteen minutes of the game, although none of them were within the range of the goal, but Qin Lang would not be careless; As for Liverpool, the number of shots on goal is only one, and the quality of the shots is relatively high, at least within the range of the goal.
The more Qin Lang watched, the more he felt that this game would be very intense, and he could clearly feel that the smell of gunpowder in the game had increased; The players of the two teams are fighting more and more, and the physical confrontation is becoming more and more intense. In such a situation, it is estimated that red and yellow cards should also be indispensable.
Atkinson, the referee who made this game, showed six yellows and two reds in the last derby between the two teams. This is not a soft-hearted referee, so before the game, some media even specifically mentioned that Atkinson's decision could affect the course of the game.
Although he felt that the game was getting more and more intense now, Qin Lang was not worried that his teammates would suffer because of too much defensive action; For the time being, it looks like Liverpool's players are still a bit level defensively, even if Everton have more shots, but this is more of a forced shot.
Qin Lang felt very happy, he felt that this was a very fulfilling thing; Under his command, the team's defensive level is improving, even if such a defensive line is only strong on paper, but it is enough to scare some people, and this is a good thing.
It's easy for Everton to break through midfield now, but once they get up front, they are immediately met with stubborn Reds; I can't say there isn't the slightest chance, but it must be admitted that Everton's space is getting smaller and smaller, as they will find that Liverpool's defensive players are very good at seizing defensive positions.
This is one of the places where Qin Lang has shown his level and strength, he is very willing to tell some teammates what positions they should appear in, and he is also happy to tell them which positions and spaces should be strengthened.
"If we continue to do this now, we will definitely get stronger and stronger." Seeing that Everton's attack was terminated again, Qin Lang laughed, "When the defense line I organized is completed, it will be difficult for the average team to complete the shot." I'm a super boss, and if you don't get these monsters, you won't be able to see me. ”
Just when Qin Lang was still complacent, a jaw-dropping scene suddenly appeared on the court.
In the 23rd minute of the game, near the midfield, Everton's 20-year-old Rodwell shot out on the side; He tackled the ball first with a tackle that looked neither dangerous nor reckless, including Suarez, who fell to the ground in an exaggerated response.
"I'll give full marks for this fake fall, but it's useless, there's no warning, not to mention the clean clearance, and the foot ......"
Just when Qin Lang was still laughing, he was suddenly dumbfounded; Because of the red card that the referee decisively showed, Qin Lang was also dumbfounded when he saw the young Rodwell holding his head and looking at the red card incredibly.
This time the defense, even if it is given a free kick, it will be disappointing, even if it is given a yellow card, you have to ask why, because it is a beautiful defense; But Qin Lang saw a red robe, he really couldn't believe that it was a red card, and he also believed that no one in this world would believe that Rodwell was actually sent off!
This is the 20th red card in the Merseyside derby in the Premier League era, but this red card is really difficult to convince the public, which can be understood from the boos in the sky; As for after the game, this time the penalty will definitely be taken back to the forefront.
There were boos at Goodson Park, on the one hand, booing Suarez's fake fall, and on the other hand, booing the referee's blinded decision; This game was ruined because of the terrible referee's terrible decision!
However, Qin Lang won't say anything, not because he thinks the team has taken advantage of anything like that, but because Qin Lang knows that there is nothing to say about this matter, and the referee can't take back the red card, at most, Everton appeals after the game.
That's right, this process Qin Lang is very familiar with; In the fifth round of the league, Qin Lang was sent off the court for the first time in his career because of a referee's misjudgment.
The boos and invective at Goodson Park were a bit blushing, as Suarez's teammate, as the beneficiary of Liverpool's players; The referee's misjudgment did give Liverpool a chance to look for a better chance of victory for the next hour or so, but it was a little blushing.
But it's nothing, there are some controversies and misjudgments on the football field; If you're going to have a fair showdown with Everton because of a referee's mistake, you're joking.
What Liverpool have to do now is try to win, they don't care about anything like that; At most, Suarez may be complained about, and there seems to be something wrong with the way this guy plays.
But there's nothing to say, Suarez may be a bit of a showman, but this time the low-level, botched mistakes should be more credited to the referee, the guy ruined a game, the very interesting Merseyside derby.
"The next game may be even more difficult to play, the smell of gunpowder has risen, and now with such a penalty, it must be false to say that the Everton players are not annoyed. It looks like it's good for us right now, but not really. ”
Qin Lang was muttering to himself, he was a little worried that the next penalty might be unfavorable to Liverpool; The reason, naturally, is that the referee will find a balance in the next game.
Isn't it obvious that the referee sent off an Everton player in less than half an hour of the game with an extremely clumsy low-level misjudgement, and it was extremely decisive, and it was difficult for this guy to think about it in retrospect.
Since the heart is weak, maybe I will take care of Everton in the next game, at least I can't let this game be one-sided in favor of Liverpool's penalty, and when facing some controversial decisions, maybe it will be towards Everton.
"I hope this referee's heart is stronger, otherwise our next game may not be easy to play!" (To be continued.) )
