On the afternoon of November 29.

In the neighborhood around Goodison Park, blue and red crowds are heading towards Goodison Park.

There are mounted police on the street to maintain law and order to prevent friction between fans of the two teams and cause conflicts.

Everton and Liverpool have been brothers and sisters during this time.

The fans of both teams are worried about their beloved teams, and they have no confidence to laugh and humiliate their sworn enemies.

Everton have lived a similar life year after year, with the last four seasons going from 7th and 6th in the league to 5th place for the second year in a row.

The failure to hit the Champions League for two consecutive years is enough to disappoint them.

In the new season, fans originally expected Everton to go further, and they did not dare to hope for the league title, so they bit the championship group and then seize the opportunity to enter the Champions League next season in one fell swoop!

This is a slight step forward from the past four years, and this step seems as far out of reach as Liverpool's attempt to win the league!

13 league games have been played in the new season, how many games have Everton lost?

5 games!

The 6-1 thrashing by Arsenal in the opener seemed to foreshadow what was not going to be a season for Everton fans to be happy about.

Count 3 games with draws.

How many games have Everton won in 13 league games?

5 games!

With just 18 points, Everton has been thrown away by the BIG4 group, which is about 10 points away from the average.

This gap is extremely disappointing.

While a small number of Liverpool fans are still gloating about Everton's recent situation, the mood will be much calmer given the situation of their own team.

Liverpool, who are winless in five league games, are three points behind the top team. It looks like the gap is much smaller than Everton's desire to qualify for the Champions League.

But the real brutal title race. 3 points? Don't say 3 points. A single point can be the dividing line between heaven and hell.

Liverpool's bus drove towards Goodison Park, and Qin Xiong sat by the window, calmly watching the fans walking towards the stadium on the street.

Fernando Torres sat next to him, dressed in casual attire and not playing today, but he insisted on going with the team to Goodison Park.

The team is in extraordinary times right now and he needs to be part of it instead of watching live TV alone at home.

'The outside world is talking about how important you are to the team, and I heard that in the beginning. I'm very uncomfortable in my heart, and I think Steven will be the same, including the other players, why is it that the team leaves you to insulate yourself from the victory? Liverpool can win a lot of games without you, the difference is that you alone have won a lot more trophies in the last few years than Liverpool have won. ”

Torres's eyes were also looking out the window, looking calm, Qin Xiong turned his head to look at him flatly, and then withdrew his gaze, not intending to respond to anything.

Torres continued, as if to himself: "When you lose the first game. We're in a terrible mood and you're not in the dressing room. So you don't understand, I'll feel like I'm missing something. Losing to Lyon and drawing with Manchester United, the emotions in my heart turned into unwillingness! Really unwilling! The outside world is right, without you, Liverpool would no longer be the Liverpool of August and September, a team that can impact the championship.

In retrospect, it's actually true, Liverpool hadn't won any championships in three years before you came.

Sometimes, admitting reality is the hardest, but after losing the second league game, the huge pressure of reality has to make us bow our heads, admit, Qin Xiong, we rely on you, you will make the game easy, at least so that I can play my role as a striker to the fullest, and I can fully unleash my abilities.

Unfortunately, I'm injured and won't be able to play with you in the next game.

Today you will put on Liverpool's legendary No.7 shirt, step on the territory of your sworn enemy, and work hard to reverse the decline that Liverpool really can't afford to slip anymore, and I hope you succeed!

Even if your success will show how much the team needs you and how important you are without you, I still want you to succeed.

Liverpool need heroes now, most of the time I'll be heroes, Steven will be heroes, other players will play that role once in a while, but in the last seven weeks Liverpool have not had heroes and now everyone wants Liverpool to have a hero.

And the person with the most hope of becoming a hero is you! ”

Torres was calm from beginning to end, and after a long silence after he finished speaking, Qin Xiong turned his head and stared at Torres lightly, and said softly: "Fernando, we are a team, I only know this. ”

With that, Qin Xiong turned his head and continued to look out the window.

Torres looked down and smiled silently.

Liverpool's bus pulls into Goodison Park.

Qin Xiong and his teammates warmed up in the stadium before returning to the locker room to change into jerseys and get ready for go.

Koeman, who has been under a lot of pressure lately and is already on the verge of collapse, gave an impassioned pre-match speech.

He was mobilizing the morale of the team, but Qin Xiong seemed a little out of place, and he did not follow his teammates to shout to boost morale.

For him, it is now necessary to be calm.

He had just recovered from his injury, and his enthusiasm did not allow him to turn reality around.

He needs to be calm, and turn this calmness into a blade that pierces the heart of his enemies in the arena!

Wearing a clean and neat jersey and walking out of the players' tunnel, Qin Xiong stood up with his teammates with his head held high and his face coldly and prepared to play.

After the referee checked that there were no dangerous items on the players, the players from both sides walked into Goodison Park.

The hustle and bustle is deafening, and the Merseyside derby is about to begin!

"Welcome to Goodison Park, where the Merseyside derby, the highlight of the Premier League's round 14 tie, takes place as Everton hosts city rivals Liverpool.

Today's game will be broadcast live by Martin Taylor and my partner Andy Gray.

David Moyes is having a hard time, winning just five of his 13 games in the new season, and Everton seem to have dropped out of the race for Champions League tickets early, which is frustrating. ”

"It doesn't matter, Everton's city rival Liverpool is not having a good time, before the game Coman was asked by the "Guardian" reporter whether he would leave halfway through the class, after a few dark weeks, Liverpool urgently need to regain lost ground in the league, the good news for them is that Qin Xiong is back!

Qin Xiong is in the starting lineup today, but he has just recovered from injury, and it will be a huge doubt whether he can dominate the game. ”

"Hehe, Qin Xiong is back, but Torres is injured, no one can say whether Liverpool can survive this difficult period of the world!" (To be continued.) )
