Chapter 30: Liverpool Derby (4)
In the 14th minute of the game, Gerrard received a pass from Hamann, a straight pass to George, George, who had just gotten the ball, and before he even ran up, he was directly put to the ground by Everton defender and Scotsman Weir.
"Damn, I'm 30 years old, I'm still working so hard, I don't want to live anymore, I wish you that after this game, you will be hit by a car when you go home and die!" George got up from the ground and thought wickedly as he looked at Everton defender Will, who had tackled himself and didn't even look at him.
In fact, this is not the first time this has happened, as the game began, after Graveson was the first to start working, the players of the two teams began to fight, rambling, sliding tackles, elbows were repeatedly staged, and the fierce scenes of derby battles were repeatedly staged at Goodson Park.
The fierce scramble of the defenders on both sides made the forwards of both sides completely frozen for a while, not so much that this is a game, but it is better to directly say that this is a defensive drill of the two teams, but the difference is that this time it is a combat exercise.
The four strikers on both sides are really depressed at the moment, it's not that they don't fight, it's not that they don't want to score, it's just that there is really no way, knowing that the opponent's feet are directly coming at their feet, if it were you, you would choose to be a hero to resist the opponent's kick, and then rest for a few months or a year, or even announce retirement, or choose to dodge.
The result is obvious, the strikers of both goals are not fools, and naturally they have not thought about stumbling with the opposing defenders.
"Damn, where is this an ordinary Premier League match, this is simply the Champions League final, the defenders on both sides are really rushing to the feet, I'm afraid that even if it is any strong defensive team in the world at present, it is not as strong as the current defense of the two teams."
As the game has been played for more than ten minutes, George also has a general understanding of the word derby, knowing that although the opponent's defender Will is very fierce in tackling, according to the current situation in the field, the referee may not even give a verbal warning.
Thinking of this, George didn't complain about anything, just got up and started to run again, hoping that his team-mate could cut off Everton's ball and then play a counter-attack.
Will made a vicious tackle and intercepted the ball at George's feet, and without any hesitation, passed the ball directly to Everton midfield core Gravesson. Gravison, who got the pass, looked at the situation on the field and cautiously rushed towards the Liverpool penalty area.
Although the game has only lasted more than ten minutes, as the core of Everton's midfield, Graveson often receives passes from the back to organize attacks, and naturally suffers the warm hospitality of Liverpool players.
If it weren't for the fact that Gavison himself was very careful and knew how to avoid the opponent's tackles, (after all, Gavison himself did this) to avoid injury, I am afraid that Gavison would have been injured a long time ago.
However, even if Graveson was careful, during this time, Graveson was brought down four times by Liverpool's players, in fact, once by Murphy, and the other three times were all at the beginning of the game, against Hamann.
Hamann paid special attention to Gavison, as soon as he saw Gavison holding the ball, he saw that there were no loopholes in his backcourt, and they were all guarded by people, thinking of this, Haman did not hesitate anymore, like a tank, and rushed towards Gavison with great momentum.
In the eyes of the German Hamann, you play and play, it doesn't matter if you are fierce, but you must at least be like Keane and Vieira, you have to know the advance and retreat and the scale, the game has just begun, and you will go to the opponent's feet at every turn, for fear that others will not know your strength. Harman couldn't bear this, and naturally he wouldn't give Gavison a good look.
Seeing Haman rushing towards him violently, Gravison had no choice but to pass the ball to the Irishman Kilbani, Gravison knew very well that if he didn't pass the ball quickly, when the time came, when Harman rushed to his body, he would pass it again, I am afraid that even if Haman couldn't stop his pass, he would definitely take the opportunity to come hard.
After all, even if the referee asks, Hamann has a reason, it can be said that he can't hold his feet for a while, and everyone knows the reason, but no one will break it.
Although Graveson is confident in his body, Graveson knows very well that he is still not good compared to the German who is 1.92m. At the same time, Graveson was not stupid, naturally he didn't want to see Haman give himself a little advantage, so when Harman was still four or five meters away from Graveson, he passed the ball out.
Seeing Graveson passing, Hamann had no choice but to stop and start to defend, after all, Graveson had passed the ball, and there were still four or five meters away from him, and he was stupid to rush over and hit Graveson hard, I was afraid that the referee's yellow card would appear in front of his eyes.
Kilbani got a pass from Gravison and started to think about Liverpool's penalty area and rushed towards him, and at this time, Carragher also started to rush out and meet Kilbane.
For a while, both of them rushed towards each other at an extremely fast speed, and the two of them were like knights in ancient decisive battles at this time.
As the distance between the two got closer and closer, Kilbani couldn't help but slow down, and his body began to sway from side to side, ready to start breaking through.
"It's up to you, leave the ball for me!" Seeing Kilbani start to dangle in front of him, ready to play to break through himself, Carragher was not deceived by Kilbani swaying from side to side, and even said that he didn't think about how Kilbani would break through himself, but just two or three meters away from Kilbani, jumped up directly, made a fierce tackle, and rushed towards the football at Kilbani's feet.
"What!" In Kilbani's panicked eyes, Carragher made a vicious tackle that brought down Kilbani and stopped the ball at the same time.
The referee was very close to the two, and at the same time, Carragher was also facing Kilbani head-on, so the referee saw it very clearly, although Carragher's tackle looked very vicious, but in fact there was no foul, Carragher's foot touched the football first.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the strength of the Irishman Kilbani is not so bad, and he was tackled and fell to the ground after being tackled by Carragher. After all, Kilbani didn't expect Carragher to ignore his preparation for a breakthrough and make a tackle.
If this is the case in normal times, Kilbani is mentally prepared, then Carragher's tackle will not stop the football at all, but will instead pass Kilbani and pose a huge threat to the Liverpool goal.
This also said that it was only in normal times, Kilbani didn't think of it, but Carragher thought of it, and Carragher just bet that the other party didn't expect that he would take the risk of a direct tackle, so he made this move.
But obviously, Carragher was right, Kilbani didn't expect Carragher to be so reckless and make a direct tackle, and when Kilbani reacted, it was too late, and the football had been robbed by Carragher.
