The first half of the Merseyside derby came to an end with Liverpool leading 2-0.
Everton's faces were solemn, Moyes was even more sad, but Liverpool did not get carried away, and after five games of winless in the Premier League, everyone seemed to be more careful to take care of the lead in the game.
I have to say that because of the smooth wind to the trough, this makes the player's mentality also walk on thin ice, for fear that a leading game will eventually turn into disappointment.
Koeman praised the performance of the whole team in the dressing room and continued to cheer the team on, finally pulling out the tactical board and asking the team to play more ground and cross in the second half.
Whether Liverpool are at the bottom or at the top, Koeman's plans and thinking will not change.
When the team begins to adapt to Qin Xiong's role change, Coman will begin to transform and speed up!
Liverpool's tactical design with Qin Xiong as the soul of the attack must be completed before the arrival of 2010!
Because at that time, whether it is European competition, FA Cup, the intensive schedule of the league will not give him enough time to adjust, that is, he will not be allowed to make mistakes!
A mistake at that time could bury a key battle, a championship!
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and Everton seemed to get a morale boost in midfield, as they started the second half with more aggressive defence and a more direct attack.
Moyes's training of Everton is so simple and direct, there is nothing outstanding in tactics, but the simple and effective tactics have been honed repeatedly, it is difficult to say that it is a success, but it is also extraordinary.
It's just against a stronger opponent. Everton have never been able to produce convincing results. This has to do with the power limit of simple tactics. No matter how strong it is, it has limitations after all.
In the 52nd minute of the game, Pienal's cross from the side, if he grabbed a header in the penalty area, he almost broke Reina's ten fingers, but fortunately, Reina's fingertips touched the football, and finally the football hit the crossbar and bounced off the crossbar and was cleared by Mascherano.
There was a loud sigh from the stands at Goodison Park, and the Toffees fans felt like the heavens were on their nemesis, Liverpool.
When Liverpool needed heroes the most, Qin Xiong made a comeback. When Everton needed to score, even the crossbar at home turned the ball away!
God seems to have been too cruel to Everton, and there was a lack of mercy for the weak.
Liverpool patiently played the pass and cut attack, reducing individual breakthroughs, even Qin Xiong was no exception, and he understood that this was a better way to improve the overall strength of the team.
Although Liverpool's passing and cutting attack at the beginning of the second half was not particularly good, after 60 minutes, Liverpool, who had regained their confidence, began to play a positional attack that Everton could not resist.
In the 65th minute of the game, Villaredinov tried to break through Aurelio on the right side of the front field and was cut off.
Aurelio broke the ball straight in front of him, and Qin Xiong passed the ball diagonally back to midfield as Fellaini ran towards him.
Cahill is retreating. He rushed to the football, but before him. Alonso stepped forward to swipe the ball away.
Alonso, who looked calm and calm, didn't wait for Cahill to get close before crossing the ball across to the right.
Johnson strode straight forward and controlled the ball on the wing.
He dribbled forward for ten yards and had already allowed Liverpool to leave Everton's attacking crowd behind, with only Everton's midfield and backline facing the Liverpool attack.
When Benayoun and Baines were very close, Johnson's intention to pass the ball to Benayoun was too obvious!
So when Cahill moved wide to press Johnson, he crossed the ball across the middle.
Gerrard rushed forward under the bag of Heitinga and Fellaini, Heitinga and Fellaini hesitated to break the ball, because Gerrard had a better chance, but when the football rolled, Gerrard did not touch the ball!
The missed ball rolled to the feet of Qin Xiong, who cut across and approached the middle.
Hibbert came up in a panic and pressed closely!
Qin Xiong directly knocked the ball diagonally behind with his back heel the moment he touched the ball!
After the ball, Qin Xiong pulled his leg and rushed past Hibbert!
The ball that was passed to the back by Qin Xiong returned to Alonso's feet.
Alonso also kicked the ball!
He rolled out a precise diagonal with the arch of his foot!
Hibbert was about to turn around and chase Qin Xiong, but when he saw the football rolling towards his area, he stopped suddenly, his body could not support his center of gravity, his feet slipped and his body bent down to support it with his hands, and the football quickly rolled in front of his eyes!
He turned his head to look and saw Qin Xiong slightly take a step to the left when he ran, and then stopped the ball with his right foot when the football rolled to his side, it looked so smooth and natural without any awkward feeling, and Qin Xiong didn't seem to look back from beginning to end.
Everton's midfield line is blown up!
The attack advanced to Liverpool in front of the penalty area and launched the final pass.
At this time, Kuyt ran to the right in the middle of the penalty area, driving the defensive attention of Distin and Jabbot, but Gerrard ran to the left side of the penalty area, obviously to maximize the opponent's lateral defensive area in the forward attack, making the opponent difficult to care!
Fellaini and Heitinga followed Gerrard closely, and Fellaini clearly wanted to intercept Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong, who came to the penalty area before the ball came to the penalty area, suddenly made a cross run with Gerrard!
He crosses the ball!
Fellaini and Heitinga were surprised to see Qin Xiong come out of the ball, because the ball was obviously not passed to Gerrard.
They turned their heads to look and saw that the ball that had rolled horizontally in front of the box was picked up by Benayoun, Liverpool's attacking player on the right flank, in an inward run!
Benayoun had the angle and space to shoot before he touched the ball, he had no interference, and Distin and Baines immediately rushed to Benayoun, but Benayoun also kicked the ball!
He slashed the ball into the middle of the box!
Disdin was desperate, knowing how big the defensive gap was between him and Jabau.
Benayoun's through kick will definitely kill Everton!
As it turned out, when Jabbo was about to move laterally to intercept Benayoun's through kick, someone cut diagonally forward from two meters past him and scrambled the ball away!
Qin Xiong!
It was his last pass with Benayoun!
After sliding the ball diagonally into the penalty area to the right side of the penalty spot, Howard, who abandoned the goal, saw Qin Xiong's calm and even cold eyes and expression, and when he was not ready to gamble, Qin Xiong got up.
Howard raised his hands in surrender, and he stood there with his hands spread out to show helplessness.
Qin Xiong didn't shoot at all!
As if it were a natural mistake, he suddenly kicked the ball out on his toes, and the ball rolled over a meter to the left of Howard's body.
By the time Howard reacted, it was too late! (To be continued.) )
