The shape on the playing field is also the same as Wan Sheng's thoughts.

Liverpool also attacked, but due to the enhanced defense, their offensive threat was naturally a lot smaller, but the threat is actually still there, but it has become smaller and the opportunities have become less, after all, the energy they have invested in the attack is small, and the benefits are naturally smaller.

Even so, Liverpool fans are desperately cheering on the team, and they are still expecting a goal to equalize the score.

But it was clear that Liverpool's performance had disappointed the fans, with no goal scoresheet and few threats for a long time in the opening half, and when Liverpool solidified their defence, their lack of attacking quality was revealed.

In the first half, Liverpool pressed hard, led by stars such as midfielder Gerrard, and there was still a certain threat in attack.

Now that Liverpool has solidified their defense, they rely on the forward line in attack, but the forward line composed of Nell Melo and Barosh is really limited.

Nell Melo is a 23-year-old player from Liverpool's academy, he can be said to be Liverpool's fourth, or even fifth striker, but due to injuries to Pongele and Cisse, Melo, who has been in the development team and has hardly played in the league, also has a chance to start with Baroshe.

A player who rarely has the opportunity to play in the league can naturally have no more to say.

Baros is a Czech general, but he is a high school striker, his height limits his flexibility, and he plays more of a tactical role in Liverpool, and in many games, Baros does not get the ball much, so it is difficult for such a player to stand out.

All in all, it will be very difficult for the duo's forward line to pose a threat to a solid defence for Derby County.

Derbyshire is different.

Derby County's forward players are still quite strong, Bolton Reiter is a similar player to Baros, but Van der Vaart's ability is quite outstanding, even in the game against Liverpool, compared to the ability of Liverpool players, Van der Vaart is still very outstanding, his superb skills and gorgeous footwork are enough to give Liverpool defenders a lot of headaches.

Comparison of the strikes of the two teams. Derby County clearly have a considerable advantage.

Van der Vaart was watching Liverpool's defence at this time.

So far in this game, Van der Vaart has not had any outstanding performances, it should be said that he has no wonderful performances that determine the outcome of the game, mainly because Liverpool has very strict defensive restrictions on him.

Originally, he was paired with Bolton Reitt as a double striker, but whenever he was in the frontcourt, he was accompanied by at least two defenders, and it was obvious that Benitez still attached great importance to Van der Vaart's defense, and now everyone knows that Van der Vaart is the core player of the Derby County's frontcourt, and no team will despise the league's second highest scorer after Thierry Henry in terms of goals.

After some time. Van der Vaart found himself difficult to find opportunities in front, so he tried to take the initiative to retreat, but even if he retreated, it was difficult to make a statement, Liverpool's defense against Van der Vaart was not only a backline, he had to face Steven Gerrard and Xavi Alonso blockade in the middle.

Steven Gerrard is the spiritual leader of the whole team as a key player for Liverpool, and his ability is not to say much, perhaps in terms of individual skills. He can't compare to a top player like Van der Vaart, but Gerrard's strength lies in his body, his all-round ability, and his defensive ability is also quite outstanding; Xavi Alonso as a Spanish player. The body is also very good, and the main thing is that he is very flexible.

Whenever Van der Vaart gets the ball, he always has to face the defence of these two players.

Van der Vaart has been trying to find openings in the duo's defence, but it hasn't worked out too well. The defensive blockade of the two is really enough to deal with any player in the world, even the most skilled. In the face of the sandwich of these two people, it was difficult to have a good appearance, so Van der Vaart was restrained.

Because of this, Van der Vaart had not shown much of a show before, so Derby County could only look for opportunities on the wing.

Van der Vaart didn't give up, he wasn't the kind of player who would just be brutal, and he started to think about how to deal with this kind of defense.

After a few attacks, and a long period of observation, he found a little opportunity.

He found that whenever he got the ball on the left side, Gerrard didn't have time to defend at the first time, and Alonso ran over and defended him closely, and then Gerrard rushed over, which was nothing, but Alonso's defensive ability was definitely not as good as Gerrard's, and this may be his chance.

Van der Vaart thought.

Finally, when Liverpool's wave of advances and kicks out of the sideline were over, a wave of Derby County attacking brother came again.

After a few passes, the ball was soon at Van der Vaart's feet.

He didn't rush to pass the ball, but slowly dribbled forward, after crossing the touchline, Xavi Alonso ran over to defend, Alonso was not in a hurry to make a move, he just had to entangle Van der Vaart, if Van der Vaart didn't pass the ball, when Gerrard came to defend it, it would be very difficult for him to pass the ball.

That's how the two responded to Van der Vaart.

Before the game, head coach Rafael Benitez had highlighted Van der Vaart, knowing that the Dutchman was arguably the best in Derby's midfield, and they had to defend him so that Derby's attacking threat would be much less.

The first few times, seeing Alonso coming to defend, Van der Vaart chose to pass the ball over, because Gerrard had already run to this side, and if he didn't pass the ball, he would have to face the pinch, even with his skills, the pinching defense of these two people was very big.

But this time, Van der Vaart didn't pass the ball.

He slowly stepped forward with the ball, not at all in a hurry, when Alonso tried to grab the ball with a feint, Van der Vaart swung his right leg a little more, this action is almost a precursor to the pass, Alonso did not stop, in his mind to force the opponent to pass the ball, as long as the football is not at Van der Vaart's feet, the threat is much smaller, and when Van der Vaart goes to the front, there are also the team's defenders to defend, such restrictions are enough.

But the next moment, Alonso knew that he had been deceived, because Van der Vaart did not pass the ball, but the speed suddenly increased!

At the moment of speed, he turned the ball to the right, and the ball changed direction slightly, but Alonso had no time to do anything, he could not twist his waist in the forward movement, and Van der Vaart, as the active attacking side, was already prepared. He accelerated to the right side, which allowed him to catch up with the ball lightly, and his speed became faster and faster.

Alonso watched Van der Vaart rush past him, and then he reacted and yelled at his teammates behind him, "Stop him!" ”

That's when Gerald arrived.

Gerrard didn't expect Van der Vaart to suddenly shake off Alonso, and when Van der Vaart completed the pass, he was still five metres sideways, and there was no time to do anything, the only thing he could do was chase hard. But he started late and it wasn't easy to catch up with Van der Vaart, who was in the open space in front of him and ran straight into the box with the ball.

Seeing this scene, the scene immediately became tense.

Wan Sheng also got up from his seat, he looked at Van der Vaart's dribbling, and there was a faint expectation in his heart.

He knows that in the game, Liverpool's defense against Van der Vaart, but this defense can only be faced by Van der Vaart himself. For a star, he always has to face the constraints of various teams, just like Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and now Ronaldinho of Barcelona. These world-class stars have to face special defence in almost every game, and it is clear that Van der Vaart is facing such a defensive target now, but now he has found a vacancy. Wan Sheng couldn't help but praise in his heart, "It's not a loss to be a world superstar in the future." ”

But Van der Vaart's expression is no less than that of the future, and he is very sure of it. There are two reasons for this, one is that Van der Vaart's leg has been cured and his speed has improved, and the other is that playing under him, the individual ability bonus of the football training master system, as well as the attribute bonus of the whole team, will make a player's ability improve in an all-round way.

Van der Vaart was already strong enough, and all he lacked was experience.

The future Van der Vaart ability is not necessarily stronger than the current Van der Vaart on the field, because of this, the current Van der Vaart ability on the field is already at its peak, and it is normal for him to have such an excellent appearance.

It was too late, too fast, and it only took a few seconds to go from breaking through Alonso to dribbling to the edge of the box, when Van der Vaart had to face the Liverpool defenders, and instead of breaking through again, he slotted a ball towards Ivan Crewe, who was inserted on the right.

In this game, Derby's two wings were quite active, Ivan Crewe and Frank Ribery were constantly inserting in search of opportunities, and when Van der Vaart started, the whole Derby County formation also moved forward, Ivan Crewe struggled to run ahead, and he rushed to meet the ball on the right side in front of the penalty area.

When he saw Van der Vaart passing, Josemi, who ran to defend, also took a long breath, Ivan Crewe with the ball, always more threatening than Van der Vaart, because the opponent's right midfielder is not good at foot skills, there are few dribbles in the whole game, and he doesn't seem to be good at long-range shots, so the threat in front of the penalty area is not great.

But when his mind was spinning, Josemi found that Van der Vaart had rushed over.

Before he could do anything, he saw Ivan Crewe meet the ball and push it diagonally forward, and the football rushed into the box against the turf!

This scene made the stadium even more tense.

Liverpool coach Benitez, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but curse angrily when he saw Josemi being rushed by so lightly, "Idiot! ”

It's stupid to be stunned in the middle of a game.

Benitez knows that Josemi's ability is there, but he is not yet very suitable for the Premier League, but the stunned just now is obviously a mistake, maybe he didn't expect Van der Vaart to rush over decisively, but it is too late to explain, because Van der Vaart has already received a pass in the penalty area.

Van der Vaart received the ball with his back to goal.

In such a dense penalty area, stopping the ball is not a good option, because one stop almost means no chance to shoot again, and now this is the case, the football is at his feet, but the veteran Liverpool central defender Hyypia has stuck behind him, and the goalkeeper has been looking for a position to block the angle of the goal, while other Liverpool defenders have also rushed over.

If Van der Vaart just protects the ball, it only takes 2 or 3 seconds for him to be caught in the middle by a group of players, and conceding the ball is inevitable.

But after stopping the ball, Van der Vaart suddenly stepped on the ball at his feet.

Hyypia always paid attention to Van der Vaart's movements, he squeezed tightly and hard, not giving the opponent any space to turn around, but the next moment he found that Van der Vaart had no intention of turning around at all, just swept his eyes towards the goal, and then used his left foot to flexibly use his back heel in front of the ball a little harder.

The ball passed between Hyypia's legs and sprinted towards the goal.

Shoot with your back heel!

Hyypia didn't have time to react, and when he realized that the ball had passed between his legs, and goalkeeper Dudek was blocked from view, but he didn't expect the ball to rush between Hyypia's legs. By the time he realized the danger, it was too late, and he could barely watch the football rush into the right side of the goal, standing there and not reacting at all.

Even the referee didn't react to the sudden shot, and only when the ball rushed into the goal and Van der Vaart struggled to jump on the spot and cheer, he walked over and pointed to the center circle to signal that the goal was valid.

It wasn't until this time that everyone in the stadium reacted - Derby County scored!

The BBC sports radio commentator in the UK has been staring at the big screen. When he saw Van der Vaart with his back to the goal, he didn't realize anything, but felt that Derby County had no chance, after all, Van der Vaart stopped the ball in the penalty area, and it was difficult to have another chance to shoot.

The next moment, he saw Van der Vaart jumping up in place, what was going on?

When he was still wondering, he saw the referee come to the goal and point to the center circle, which is self-evident. It was only then that he realized that it was Derby County who had scored, and he subconsciously looked at the Liverpool goal, and sure enough, the football was rolling on the grass inside the goal.

It was the ball that went in.

The brain is a little wooden. He was still wondering how the ball went in, but he immediately thought about what he had to do, and finally let out the roar in his throat, "Goooooooooooal!!!!!! ”

"Vandervaart!"

"Van der Vaart! Raphael van der Vaart! Dutch goalscorer Rafael van der Vaart! Second in the Premier League's scorer list, Van der Vaart"

“”

He didn't see how the ball went in. So after shouting out, he could only keep shouting Van der Vaart's name, but he complained in his heart about how Van der Vaart's goal was so hidden.

Now all he can do is keep shouting Van der Vaart's name. Until the goal is replayed on the screen, so that you can see how the ball went in.

However, the fans who listened to the radio felt that the commentator must be a loyal Van der Vaart fan, or rather a loyal Derby County fan, otherwise why would he be so excited to see Van der Vaart score? Excited enough to shout Van der Vaart's name in a different way?

Liverpool fans were a little dissatisfied, and in their opinion, the BBC broadcast commentary should have been neutral.

They cursed the narrator in their hearts.

The commentator didn't know that he had offended a lot of Liverpool fans because of the shouting just now, and at this time the screen was already replaying what Van der Vaart's back heel was, and seeing the football pass between Hyypia's legs, he also had to give Van der Vaart's technique and play a thumbs up, and then he knew what to say, "It's a back-heel shot!" The ball passed between Hyypia's legs and went straight into the back of the net, Liverpool goalkeeper Dudek didn't react at all, it was a brilliant shot, not to Van der Vaart, sure enough"

These post-goal explanations would have been normal, but combined with the fact that he kept shouting Van der Vaart's name just now, fans were even more certain that the commentator was a loyal Van der Vaart fan.

It is estimated that Mr. Commentator will have a lot of trouble after the game

Meanwhile, the Derby County supporters at the Andleard Stadium have gone crazy!

Van der Vaart's goal was brilliant and, more importantly, it helped Derby County to open up the gap.

1:3, the winner is decided!

After scoring a goal, the players in the stadium rushed to Van der Vaart in a frenzy, each of them with excitement written on their faces, rushed over and immediately hugged Van der Vaart, and then cheered to the fullest.

The roars of the Derby County fans in the stands also resounded throughout the stadium.

Although they are not as numerous as Liverpool fans, now that Derby County have scored again, the score has been rewritten to 1:3, and now the moment belongs to them.

The moment the goal was scored, the Derby County coach's box was jubilant, and the substitutes rushed to the field, cheering together to share the joy of the goal, although they did not play, but the League Cup is the glory of the whole team, and the victory is also the glory of the whole team, especially this is Anfield Stadium, which team dares to say that it is a big score victory over Liverpool here?

Derby County did.

1:3, can definitely enter the threshold of the big score.

After seeing the goal, Wan Sheng clenched his fists tightly, hugged Diamares happily, and then waved his arms and shouted, "It's not Van der Vaart!" The world superstar of the future! Pretty! What a beautiful goal! Awesome! ”

Diamares doesn't know why.

Future superstar?

What the hell is this?

Wan Sheng naturally didn't explain so much, and now he was really excited.

Before the game, he wanted to 'decide the winner in one battle', and use the battle at Anfield Stadium to directly decide the League Cup semi-finals, and the result of this idea was naturally that Derby County entered the final and Liverpool was eliminated, but having an idea does not necessarily mean that it can be realized, especially seeing Liverpool score first, Wansheng Table Xiàn is very confident, but there are also a lot of uncertainties in my heart.

But now the team is two goals ahead!

Derby County Football can be said to have gotten half a ticket to the League Cup final!

Looking at the time of the scoreboard, now there are only ten minutes left before the end of the game, and there is not much time left for both sides, Wansheng shouted again with confidence, "Gail!" We won! 1:3, haha! I'm sure we're in the finals! (To be continued......)
