Unable to score for 45 minutes, which was unacceptable to the Liverpudlians who wanted revenge in the derby, Liverpool made changes to the starting line-up at half-time, Kuyt came on to replace Pennant, Chen Yu came to the midfield, behind Crouch, as a shadow striker, and Alonso and Gerrard played as a double midfielder.

The formation became 4213, and the main change was that there was a stronger Kuyt on the side, Chen Yu strengthened the frontal impact of the penalty area behind Crouch, and Benitez's idea was very simple, that is, he wanted Crouch to be a bridgehead, use his height to fight for a header and hand it to Chen Yu, so that Chen Yu could shoot.

In the first half, Chen Yu was more of a person who played the opportunity to create a zào, but the problem was that the opportunity to create a zào came out, and Crouch and the other players couldn't grasp it, so Benitez had to get Chen Yu back to a position close to the goal and let Chen Yu be a finisher.

Everton played very well in the first half, they contracted the defense, stuck to the middle, so that Liverpool's crosses and long-range shots did not play much of a threat, Moyes did not make any adjustments to the lineup and style of play in the first half at halftime, after the start of the second half, although Liverpool replaced Kuyt, Chen Yu came to the middle, behind Crouch, but Moyes did not pay much attention.

Although Liverpool made substitution adjustments in the second half, there was not much change in the style of play, the front is still three forwards, Chen Yu is at the front of the big penalty area, it looks like a midfielder with one more long-range shot, in Moyes's view, Everton is putting an iron bucket formation, since it is an iron bucket formation, it doesn't matter what kind of formation the opponent discharges, half-time attack and defense, no matter what tricks you use, anyway, I just don't go out, see how you attack.

In world football, breaking the dense defense has always been a problem, even if a giant like Liverpool goes to play a relegation team, if the opponent discharges the iron bucket formation, it is difficult for the giants to win, and Everton is definitely a team in the middle and upper reaches of the top eight, they pull down the iron bucket formation, and it is not so easy for Liverpool to score goals with any lineup.

After Chen Yu left the side, the breakthrough ability of the side declined, Kuyt and Bellamy, although one has strength and one has speed, but under Everton's intensive defense, the strength and speed of the two can not play the role of breaking through the bag, like the first half of the cross to the bottom line is less, many are 45 degrees directly to the penalty area, 45 degrees oblique pass, the defender is against the ball, the defense is more relaxed, Crouch in the penalty area is less effective, like being wrapped dumplings, It simply does not play the role of a bridgehead.

Crouch can't play a role in the middle, and Chen Yu doesn't play much role on the periphery because he doesn't have the ball at all.

Chen Yu stayed in the middle for five or six minutes, and soon became depressed, after midfielder Benitez assigned him the task, Chen Yu immediately bound himself to the consciousness of Juventus star Piero, ready to play well in the front of the Everton penalty area, but did not expect that the ball was flying around in the penalty area, and Crouch could not reach the ball, he never touched the ball at all.

For a shadow striker who resembles a striker, either he has to have the ball or his teammates can make the ball for him, otherwise, the striker can only be an ornament.

Of course, Chen Yu can't just wait, time passes by a minute, if he can't score again, the opponent's confidence will become stronger and stronger, and the game will become more and more difficult to play.

"Give me the ball!"

Chen Yu couldn't help but start beckoning to his team-mate who was holding the ball on the wing, and he now has 16 goals in 12 games, second only to Steven Gerrard in the team and at the club, and he is entitled to claim the ball from his team-mates.

But Riese, who plays as a full-back, did not give him the ball, but passed the ball to Bellamy, and asked Bellamy to attack Everton's wings, in Lisse's opinion, the best tactic is to cross the bottom, as long as the number of passes is enough, then the striker will definitely find the feeling of breaking the goal.

Chen Yu asked the side twice in a row and no one passed the ball to him, and the Liverpool manager Benitez on the sidelines couldn't hold his breath, he came to the sidelines and shouted to the court, "Pass the ball to Chen!" Pass the ball to Chan and let Chan organize. ”

In the end, it was the coach's order that worked, and the Liverpool players immediately changed the previous mode of blind jibd passing, and the player with the ball consciously passed the ball to Chen Yu, allowing Chen Yu to organize and shoot at the front of the penalty area.

Although Chen Yu wandered in the front of the penalty area did not get any chance, but his previous table was too brave, he could not play a role, Everton did not dare not send someone to stare at Chen Yu, in the 15th minute of the second half, Chen Yu just relied on the player who was marking him to receive the ball, and was put down by Everton defender Neville from the side of a flying tackle.

Neville's tackle first touched Chen Yu's leg and then touched the ball, but the referee did not blow the whistle, and Everton used the ball to launch a quick counterattack.

Liverpool is almost all pressed, once the opponent plays a counterattack, it will be fatal for Liverpool, but this time Everton's counterattack is very fast, and at that time, Liverpool's players' minds were still explaining to the referee, and Andy scored twice in the last derby. Johnson broke through Liverpool's last line of defence and smashed into the Liverpool penalty area.

Facing Johnson who rushed at high speed, Liverpool goalkeeper Reyna did not attack, just waited for Johnson in the small penalty area.

Johnson had two previous experiences of scoring against Liverpool, and he was untimid against Reina, with a feint and a straight kick.

Reyna was shaken to the ground by Johnson's feint, but his leg remained on the other side, and Johnson's shot bounced right on Reina's leg.

It was Everton's third shot on goal since the break, but it was the most dangerous of the game, and with a bit of luck, Johnson could have scored his third against Liverpool.

Seeing the ball pop up on Reina's leg, Everton up to the coach and down to the fans, all sighed, today in order to restrain Liverpool's terrifying forward, Everton focused on defense, the attack was almost ignored, if they can score, with Everton's previous table, they even hope to win Liverpool at Anfield, but now the opportunity is missed, and the next time I don't know how long it will take.

Everton's counterattack also gave Liverpool a wake-up call, they realized that they couldn't just think about winning, just thinking about attacking, but they didn't think that the opponent was also waiting for an opportunity, this time they relied on luck to prevent it, what if there is a next time?

Next, Liverpool did not dare to invest so many troops when attacking, and the attack was more patient than before.

In the 64th minute of the game, Kuyt forced the bottom on the side, but was pulled down from behind by the opponent's fullback, and then Kuyt quickly passed the ball diagonally from the side to the front of the penalty area, looking for his most threatening striker Chen Yu.

At this moment, Neville, the defender who originally played for Manchester United, has been following Chen Yu, and when he saw the ball coming from the side, he did not go around the front to destroy, but stuck to Chen Yu in the back, preventing him from turning around, and he could foul at a critical moment.

However, when the ball came, he did not stop the ball, but pulled it, turned his body in a semicircle, and shook Neville to the side of his body.

Neville saw that Chen Yu left his defense, he immediately turned around and prepared to continue to defend Chen Yu, but Chen Yu was very cunning and then turned half a circle, and his body returned to the same place, but he turned Neville so that he couldn't find the east, west, north and south, Chen Yu was beside him, and he couldn't find where Chen Yu was.

Taking advantage of Neville's dizziness, Chen Yu changed his center of gravity, replaced the foot that pulled the ball with a supporting foot, raised the supporting foot, and directly pulled out his foot in place and shot angrily.

It was a highly imaginative pass and a shot full of surprises.

Although the power of the shot cannot be compared to the running shot, the angle is tricky, and the ball goes straight to the top left corner of the goal.

Everton goalkeeper Howard has always been known for his quick response, Liverpool had at least 12 long-range shots today, but they were saved or blocked by Howard, his watch reassured the defenders, so Everton's defense has not been hung out by Liverpool, but Chen Yu's shot, Howard did not react, because he didn't realize that Chen Yu would shoot. It wasn't until the ball was in the penalty area that Howard realized the shot, and he almost instinctively flew to the spinning ball, but it was too late, and Howard had just jumped up and the ball flew into the net.

1：0

In the 65th minute of the game, Chen Yu opened the scoring for Liverpool with a magical long-range shot.

The fans in attendance have been waiting for this moment for 65 minutes, no, it should be said that they have been waiting for four months and now they have finally waited for this goal.

"Beautiful!"

"Well done!"

"Happy, Everton, die."

The stands instantly erupted in thunderous applause, mixed with the shouts of the fans, and the whole stadium was filled with the sound of this carnival.

Chen Yu was finally able to truly celebrate his first derby goal this time, he lifted his shirt and ran to the stands, with four big words written on his shirt "dedicated to the fans".

The commentator at the scene was still entertaining with footage from the stadium: "There is a woman who gave birth yesterday and has to come to Anfield today to play Liverpool; Listen to the Everton fans singing and watch Chen Yu score, but now she may wish she hadn't come so she doesn't see the bad performances on the pitch...... Ahhh Pretty! The ball is in! Old! 17th goal...... Pretty! So creative! The table of genius xiàn! More than sixty minutes of dullness, such a wonderful pass, one shot is enough to offset it, the new mother came too well worth it...... The deadlock is broken! Now it's time for the show to begin......"
