Chinese Merseyside derby at Old Trafford – not many of those opportunities.

This also made Liverpool fans extremely excited: what could be better than going to the door of a sworn enemy? If you are doing well, you have to let the enemy know. Envy, jealousy and hatred are also one of the biggest reasons why people want to live a good life.

In this game, the lineup sent by Liverpool is still Reina's starting goalkeeper, while the back line is Reese, Vidic, Bruno, McConn, and the midfielder is Sissoko, Alonso, and in front of Zhao Yaning, Garcia, Morientes, Fowler.

"In this Liverpool game, Gerrard was suspended, Carragher was injured, Hyypia was not the main team, and in this game, the person who appeared with the captain's armband was John Reese. Speaking of which, he is now the oldest member of the team, and the armband is also worn on him. ”

In the past two seasons, Liverpool's personnel changes have been very huge. From a French-oriented team to a Spanish-oriented team, they did it in less than two years. From last season to this season, their style has changed a lot.

At this time, their opponents were still lined up in the same formation as in the previous game.

"The Liverpool vs Everton game, last season, was a lot of attention, but since this season it's been a one-sided one. Whether Everton will be able to withstand Liverpool's blow is a big question, but Everton's league results have struggled to improve this season, and their FA Cup is their last hope, an honour they have to fight for......

This season, Everton is already in the bottom half of the table - although they played well in the second half of the league, but in the first half, they accumulated four points from nine league games, and they were once desperate supreme fighters. In fact, their ability to knock out Chelsea on penalties in the FA Cup is already their only possible fig leaf left this season.

'Since David Moyes took over, Everton's results have been inconsistent. In the 02-03 season, they were ranked fourth and at the top of the final standings, but in the 03-04 season, they became 17th and could not have been relegated. Last season they finished fifth, and this season they are starting to settle into the bottom half of the table again. David Moyes' team is on a rollercoaster ride, with ups and downs that are extremely inconsistent. ”

Lineker's evaluation made Alan Hansen next to him laugh, "That's a bit too much." The Toffees are a small team after all, and with Everton's input, they shouldn't have asked for too much, they don't have the money, and it's very good to have such results. ”

"Arsenal is the one who should talk more than input......" Lineker's words left Alan Hansen speechless. Indeed, Arsenal is better than results, more than input, more than stability, more than player development, in all aspects.

However, Arsenal is a Premier League powerhouse, different from Everton.

And while they speak, the game has already begun. Liverpool's attack this time was launched by Zhao Yaning directly from the left side, although his surprise attack was not able to break through immediately, but it still caused a lot of defensive pressure on Everton.

'The last time the two teams met, Liverpool had one man down and ended up winning 3-0. Lineker slowly opened his mouth, in fact, in the last game, Van der Meyde was also sent off at the end, but when the score on the field was 3-0, he was indeed on the field, and it is not wrong to say this, "On the Liverpool side, Zhao Yaning's breakthrough is a huge problem for Everton's defense. And we can see that in this game, although Liverpool played 442, it still insisted on attacking on the wing. This kind of play is also a very targeted style of play for Everton. ”

David Moyes as a manager, his coaching philosophy and style have always been considered to be closer to Manchester United: a very traditional English football philosophy, insisting on attacking from the wings, insisting on rough defending, and insisting on counter-attacking. But in fact, this mindset is the same model that Manchester United had before 2000, and he is only close to Ferguson's early thoughts. After entering the new century, Manchester United was kicked by European teams, and has long recognized its own shortcomings, Manchester United has always wanted to be continentalized, and has abandoned the outdated thinking of English football, but David Moyes is still insisting on this idea.

His tactical system has always been very fixed: Ruth has a player in the middle of the midfield who has excellent ability to divide the wings and help the wide players to play and attack. Wide players need to be able to cross underneath, and at the same time, the midfield, and the full-backs should be plugged in, so that the wide attack in the front court has a two-on-one or three-on-two numerical advantage. On the front line, his fixed substitution is to replace a tall striker in the second half to smash his head and cause some trouble for the opponent. This idea is actually very simple, but it is not easy to do the details well, and Moyes can lead this team to results, which is already very good.

And his defensive philosophy is actually quite simple: the whole court is divided into 24 square areas, and each frontcourt player has his own defensive zone. For the backcourt player, the pitch is cut longitudinally into six strips, and in his request, when the ball is on the side, four defenders move closer to the four strips on the side with the ball, and each person occupies one to put pressure on the attacking players.

This kind of attacking and defensive strategy is still enough for most Premier League teams. But the problem is that Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal are not ordinary Premier League teams. These teams are well aware of the backwardness of English football, and several of them have been looking for ways to get closer to continentalization for years. Pure English style football, no matter how much attention to detail and play well, it is difficult to fight when the overall idea of football is already behind.

Of course, if the strength is excellent, you may be able to suppress the opponent. But the problem is that the composition of these teams is also a lot higher than Everton. For example, the current Liverpool, although Gerrard is suspended and Figo is resting, Garcia and Zhao Yaning are enough to make Everton's defenders helpless. When facing Zhao Yaning, Everton had to let Osman continue on the side, and the whole formation was also very right-leaning, and the consequence of this was naturally to completely expose the other wing to the threat of Garcia The Legend of the Hidden Dragon was reborn.

For Garcia, who originally likes to play without the ball, this kind of space is his favorite style of play.

Soon, Zhao Yaning kicked the ball to the other side after a few shakes on the left side.

Garcia jumped high and offloaded the ball. Although he was very close to the penalty area, the closest defenders to him at this time were three meters away from him. This gave him the space to take it very calmly, and after observing it, he kicked the ball into the box and passed it to Fowler's feet.

Fowler didn't catch the ball well, he started to rush a little hard, and the foot stopped wide. The Everton goalkeeper had blocked his shot, but Fowler twisted and slotted the ball out in a very uncoordinated position.

He himself fell for the pass, but the ball was at the feet of Morientes. Morientes lifted his foot and fired a shot that gently slotted the ball into the goal!

"Liverpool's goal came without difficulty!" Lineker let out an exclamation, "As expected, they were able to break through Everton's door with ease!" ”

"Zhao Yaning has restrained the energy of Everton's attitude, defending him alone, at least three people have to pay attention, Everton plays like this, how can there be no problems." Alan Hansen also spoke, "If it's a striker, it's defended by three people and can't play at a high level, maybe it's a problem." But Zhao Yaning is now a wide midfielder, his passing level can allow him to pass the ball out at any time when he is besieged, and the teammates who receive his pass can also transfer the ball into a goal, such a combination makes Liverpool's attack very difficult to resist. ”

"Speaking of which, Liverpool still have a chance to win the treble this season, right?"

"If you win all the rest of the games, you can do it...... However, it will be difficult to win all the remaining games......

"But at least Liverpool still have hope of winning the treble."

Alan Hansen didn't speak, and he wasn't sure how far Liverpool could go. It stands to reason that Liverpool should be able to win, but the question is, can this kind of thing be said accurately? The league has only one point advantage, not even a draw. The Champions League lost away and the home team had to get it back. Although the FA Cup is said to have the upper hand in this one, it is also unknown how the final will be - the treble is a dream, after all, it is too difficult.

At this time, Liverpool had already begun a second attack. This time, Zhao Yaning's breakthrough rushed directly from the left side. After shaking off the Osman who defended him, Zhao Yaning directly accelerated and rushed up, and Stubbs rushed over to intercept, but Zhao Yaning turned around with a pull ball, and rushed into the penalty area with Stubbs by his side.

At this moment, Stubbs didn't dare to foul Zhao Yaning again. And Zhao Yaning accelerated to the middle in one step, but this time, the acceleration under the confrontation made his pace not adjust well, and he didn't have enough space to adjust the angle, so he could only poke the ball out with one kick.

Morientes followed up and kicked the ball into the net!

"Morientes scores again! 2-0！ That's what Mr. Everton should do with a brace, two goals, beating Everton! Liverpool also followed this goal and went one step closer to the final! ”

scored two goals in a row, and Zhao Yaning also looked at the opponent's lineup and let out a long breath: Everton's style of play is outdated after all.

It's not been a year or two since England's football philosophy is behind, and everyone knows that English football needs to be reformed. However, these old-school coaches are unwilling to change, which is the biggest reason why they lag behind. Arsene Wenger built Arsenal in just a few years, relying on his advanced tactics, excellent ideas, and then his vision. Mou Ao led Chelsea to the title, relying on this wave of tactical reform, and he is on the cusp. And Liverpool's rise is also due to tactical reforms.

There are many changes to football, but everything remains the same. Backward concepts, how do you play&;what new tricks can you play&;? I'm basically gone. Cat flutter Chinese
