Koeman and David Moyes both had sad faces on their faces, and they tried to remain as serious as they stood on the sidelines to supervise the game, and the players of both teams were in the process of kick-off.

"Today Everton started 4231.

Goalkeeper: Howard.

Defenders: Hibbert, Jabbo, Distin, Baines.

Midfielders: Villaredinov, Fellaini, Cahill, Heitinga, Pinal.

Striker: If.

Liverpool's starting XI was also 4231.

Goalkeeper: Reina.

Defenders: Johnson, Carragher, Ager, Aurelio.

Midfielders: Benayoun, Alonso, Gerrard, Mascherano, Qin Xiong.

Forward: Kuyt.

The game is on the horizon, so let's look forward to seeing what the Merseyside derby will bring! ”

When the game began, Everton kicked off first, and they immediately organized a fluid positional attack, and after the midfield was down, full-back Baines took the lead from the left wing, he rushed past Benayoun and received Fellaini's pass just past midfield, and then strode forward with the football, and before Johnson could get close, he sent a 45-degree cross to try to give Ruo a quick kick.

But the ball was cut off by Alonso halfway through.

Alonso stopped the ball and looked at the situation in front of him and immediately crossed the ball diagonally to the left side of the field.

Qin Xiong retreated to receive possession, and Everton were clearly prepared for Qin Xiong's restriction on this point.

Heitinga, Fellaini, and Hibbert showed a three-point encirclement, but they didn't dare to pounce too fiercely, afraid of Qin Xiong's rapid offensive transfer. The flaws that exposed the rest of Everton's defences were exploited.

Qin Xiong stopped the ball and turned to dribble forward. But the speed is not mentioned.

This time. He knew he was going to give Liverpool an attacking consistency.

In the past five rounds of the Premier League, the psychological blow to the team was very big, and everyone was a little caught off guard, and they didn't even know how to face the game.

Sometimes playing too fast can turn a lot of small problems into big problems.

After coming to Hibbert, Qin Xiong directly sent a kick of outspin ball on the spot.

Kuyt headed in front of the box at the top of the box and his header hit the back of the net only to be blocked by Howard without difficulty.

Jabbok and Distin glanced at each other. Both of them were a little helpless, they had seen Qin Xiong's skills, but it was more than three years ago, and they really felt that they couldn't guard against Qin Xiong's weird passing.

The cheers in the stands were enthusiastic, and no matter how worried the fans of both teams were before the game, the hostility would gradually heat up when the game began.

Red Army fans have set their eyes on Qin Xiong with great anticipation, and when the team is at a low point, Qin Xiong's comeback is the emergence of the dawn of hope!

Everton played fairly simply and straightforwardly.

8th minute of the game. Pienal shook Johnson down the left flank and went down the back ball into the box, where Cahill scrambled in front of Alonso and cut inside the box diagonally on the left. He slid straight into the box and then shot with his feet when Carragher blocked it!

Reyna hurriedly moved towards the near post, slowing down halfway through the run, making a false alarm!

Cahill's shot was deflected wide of the goal.

'Everton shook up the Liverpool defence with a quick onslaught from both wings, and Liverpool look a little trembling now and the defence is not as calm as it was two months ago.

"Of course, the statistic of conceding close to two goals per game in the last five Premier League games has actually put Liverpool's defence under pressure, and they naturally worry about whether there will be major problems in their defence, and the defenders need to be more confident than the attacking players!"

Liverpool's attack still uses Qin Xiong as the starting point in the front, and Qin Xiong did not burst out with eye-catching energy.

In the 13th minute of the game, Qin Xiong was leisurely controlling the ball on the left side of the front court, and it seemed that the rhythm was still so slow, as if he couldn't run anymore.

However, Everton continued to keep a tight watch on him, and after attracting two Everton defenders, Qin Xiong crossed the ball to Gerrard in a tight space.

Gerrard found an opportunity to shoot from distance in front of the penalty area and didn't hesitate to smash a shot into the net.

The ball flew towards Everton's goal like a cannonball, and American goalkeeper Howard made a brave leap to clear the long-range shot!

"Gerald almost pierced Howard's 10 fingers with a long-range shot! This shot Gerrard shot beautifully, and Howard made an even more wonderful pounce! ”

The atmosphere at Goodison Park has become more confrontational.

The Everton fans applauded every good performance from their players, and the Reds fans cheered even louder.

Five minutes later, Cahill failed to break through Mascherano in the middle of the pitch and Alonso took control of the ball and sent it to Benayoun with a long diagonal pass.

Everton's defense leaned slightly towards Qin Xiong's side, thus giving Benayoun more room to play, he directly slashed the ball into the box, Kuyt cut diagonally to Distin's side to meet the ball and half-turned and volleyed!

It's a pity that the football slid out of the door and didn't cause Howard problems.

By the 20th minute of the game, Everton seemed to realize that just staring at Qin Xiong could not reduce the threat of Liverpool's attack, and Qin Xiong had been playing the role of organizing and responding to the attack, which greatly reduced their vigilance!

And at this time, Liverpool's tactical layout for this game is preparing to be implemented.

In the 23rd minute, Marouane Fellaini played the ball straight forward in the middle, Cahill hit the right side with a kick, Villaredinov cut inside the box, the Russian star was very confident in himself, and when Mascherano and Aurelio came to attack him, he calmly handled the ball at his feet, and a cross made the ball roll sideways from the front of the box to the left side.

Pienal cut across the middle of the penalty area, crossed the ball sideways past Carragher, and then shot straight at the goal!

It was a dangerous shot that flew towards the bottom left corner of the goal, and Reyna was prepared to make a good lateral save and block the ball with one palm.

'Pienaar's shot was saved by Reina, and Merseyside's two hostile and hateful teams played a little more open today, but who could knock on the opposition first?'

Reyna saved the ball and was about to grab a spot to shoot, Carragher turned to block Ruo's forward lane, and Johnson returned to the box to clear the ball first.

The ball flew into the midfield, Gerrard watched the flying football, behind him Fellaini was ready to fight him, Gerrard was the first to get stuck in position, and then ran forward to take a header to cross!

After making sure that his header ferryed the ball to Benayoun, Gerrard landed and looked back, his eyes locked on Qin Xiong!

Qin Xiong, it's time for you to stretch out the claws of the demon dragon to tear Everton's heart apart! (To be continued.) )
