"Qin Xiong! Qin Xiong! Qin Xiong! Liverpool open the scoring!

Qin Xiong, who had just returned from injury, scored for Liverpool!

With an assist from Benayoun, this time Qin Xiong decisively cut into the penalty area to outflank the goal and complete the header!

Martin, how do you evaluate Qin Xiong's performance after his comeback? ”

"Just 20 minutes or so? He still looks unpredictable, before the goal, he was doing well, with a good pass success rate, and three threatening passes, but with a little less aggression, he is like a good playmaker up front, but he is not the Qin Xiong we are familiar with, the unstoppable Qin Xiong who is like a madman, but the moment he scored, I think the whole world was deceived by him.

He's still the biggest threat on the pitch, the one who can score straight away!

Liverpool's goal must have been organised and premeditated, and I have to say a word for Koeman, he played a beautiful shot! ”

When Qin Xiong walked back to the midfield, Gerrard and Qin Xiong high-fived fiercely, and then Gerrard hugged Qin Xiong and kissed him on the cheek, Qin Xiong said in his ear: "We can't relax, Steven, we must restore the team's confidence as soon as possible, so that every teammate can face the field confidently and proudly, we are not confused, not low, not hesitate, and not frustrated, from leading to falling behind in the standings?" It doesn't matter, it's important that we have the determination to stand on top of England, the top of Europe, and never change! Never waver! ”

Gerald held Qin Xiong's face with a serious face, and said in a deep voice, "I know, I know." Today's game is important. We're going to do everything we can to break down our opponents. Victory is the source of our self-confidence, let's go, the game has just begun. ”

Qin Xiong returned to his own half, stood in his position and waited for kickoff.

Everton had just conceded a goal, perhaps a bit of a precaution, and immediately launched a comeback after kick-off.

Baynes' long pass from the back found striker Ruo, but Ruo's header was cut off by Johnson, who was also a little bloody. The cross after dribbling for forty yards went straight out of the line.

Everton re-elevated their defensive efforts against Qin Xiong.

Qin Xiong was still playing with a leisurely stroll, controlling the ball, passing, and delivering threatening balls, reducing breakthroughs.

In the 29th minute of the game, Qin Xiong picked up a pass into the penalty area to create a chance for Kuyt, but the latter did not shoot directly on goal, wanting to shoot in a better position after passing Distin.

But he was cut off by Distin!

Everton immediately counter-attacked, and the ball got to the feet of Cahill, who linked up with Villaredinov to beat Alonso before moving the attack to the feet of Pinar who cut inside on the wing.

The South Africa international cut inside and then linked up with Ruo to hit the wall.

He cuts into the box. Ruo's diagonal plug was a bit wide, which allowed Pienaar to shoot from a very narrow angle after regaining possession of the ball in the box. Reina's block at the near post also sealed the possibility of Pinard's goal.

Pinar eventually managed to get to his feet and the ball was kicked off the line.

Liverpool are back in positional warfare.

Everton did a good job of defending in positional battles and didn't give Liverpool too many chances.

They thought that such a defence would be enough to fend off Liverpool, but in the 36th minute of the game, they were caught off guard by an attacking change in Liverpool's front.

Qin Xiong quietly walked to the right side of the frontcourt, and Benayoun went to the left side of the frontcourt.

The two of them switched positions!

Qin Xiong has only played in two positions since returning to the Premier League, the first being a left winger and the other being a forward midfielder or shadow striker.

He hasn't played the right winger position yet.

But that doesn't mean he can't fight!

Everton's defense has always focused on blocking Qin Xiong's side, that is, the left side of Liverpool's attack, which corresponds to the right side of Everton's defense.

But after Qin Xiong and Benayoun switched positions, blocking Qin Xiong was not just as simple as the defenders moving in parallel.

Because the players who make up the local defense in the first place are different.

On the left flank, Qin Xiong faces Hibbert head-on, the blocker on the right front cutting line will be Heitinga, and the defensive pressure on the right comes from Fellaini.

Then when Qin Xiong goes to the right side, the defender he faces head-on will be Baynes, the blocker on the inside line becomes Fellaini, and Heitinga can only exert pressure from Qin Xiong's left side when he moves.

As for the pressure from behind Qin Xiong, there is not much difference between Pinar and Villaredinov, it can be ignored.

Qin Xiong's sudden change of position caught Everton off guard.

When Alonso's long diagonal pass from the back of midfield suddenly sent the ball to the feet of Qin Xiong on the right side of the field, Everton's defence was in a panic.

Fellaini and Heitinga looked at each other in a trance, and they felt very uncomfortable with Qin Xiong's sudden possession of the ball on the other side.

Qin Xiong faced Baynes's up-and-go at this time, skillfully dunked the ball horizontally at his feet, dodged Baynes and stepped forward, and then turned into an inward cut track.

In front of Fellaini, Qin Xiong dazzled the Belgian by pedaling two bicycles in a row, and the sudden diagonal plucking of the ball into the bottom line almost made Fellaini fall to the ground in embarrassment when he turned.

Heitinga rushed directly to Qin Xiong, who dribbled the ball along the edge of the penalty area, he observed the situation in front of the goal, and slashed the ball diagonally in front of the baseline to the large open area in front of the penalty area.

Everton's defence was completely out of order, and the space left by Heitinga and Marouane Fellaini rushing in pursuit of Qin Xiong was open in front of the penalty area.

The football bounced on the line of the penalty area, and then halfway through the second bounce, less than half a meter above the ground, someone kicked the ball into the bottom left corner of the Everton goal!

Volley!

Red Army Captain Gerard!

Howard made a flying action on the spot, but his arm was stretched to the extreme and he couldn't touch the football, and the distance between him and the football was about a meter!

The whip is out of reach!

Rumble!

The ball flew cleanly into the Everton goal!

The polarization of fire and ice at Goodison Park is even more intense!

The Reds fans set off a wave of red in the stands, like the fire that was once extinguished was rekindled!

Gerrard rushed to Qin Xiong after breaking the goal, hooked Qin Xiong's neck and ran to the sidelines together, the two roared together, raising their strong arms to show the strength of the Red Army to the outside world!

'Steven Gerrard helps Liverpool lead Everton by two goals! An assist from Qin Xiong! He's back! He's back!

Seeing Qin Xiong break through Baines and Fellaini sharply and decisively, and then calmly and accurately pass the ball to the top of the arc of the penalty area in front of the baseline, Gerrard, who was inserted behind, did not hesitate to volley through Howard's ten fingers! (To be continued.) )
