Chapter 863 Derby (3)
"Opportunity..."
"Shoot! Shoot!"
Amid the screams of the fans and commentators at the scene, Yakub did not adjust and stopped the ball in his chest and shot without waiting for the ball to land.
Such a direct shot is quite difficult, but Yakub dared not adjust anymore. Liverpool's defense is very good. He cannot guarantee that the defensive players will not arrive after the adjustment. At the same time, Liverpool's goalkeeper Renner also put a lot of pressure on him. Yakub hopes to catch Renner off guard.
Such a shot was a bit difficult for Yakub. His feet were not exactly right. He originally wanted to shoot a straight instep, but the ball hit one side of his foot and flew two or three meters away from the post and flew out of the baseline.
Liverpool goalkeeper Renner was still shocked. He was ready, but he didn't expect Yakub to hit the volley directly. However, he didn't expect Yakub to hit so outrageously that he didn't even want to save.
Moyes was very disappointed. He saw Yakub get the opportunity. Although he didn't think he would score a goal, he should at least create a little threat and boost morale. Unexpectedly, Yakub's shot was so outrageous. The chances were similar and the positions were similar, but Yakub's shooting skills were much worse than Chen Yu.
The commentator on the scene was also sighing at Yakub's shooting skills, "It's a bit outrageous! This is the difference between a first-class striker and a world-class striker! But it's good to create opportunities! I hope I won't waste it next time, a team like Liverpool will not give their opponents much chance."
Benitez was not surprised at all. He dared not look down on such a game. Although his opponents are weak, they will definitely perform exceptionally on this stadium. There will definitely be opportunities like Yakub just now. It depends on how many goals the defenders and goalkeepers can play. In addition, it depends on how many goals the forwards can score. Even if the defense is not good, if the forwards score more goals than Everton's forwards, then winning will definitely be no problem.
Liverpool served the ball. After passing the ball to the defender several times in a row, Reina suddenly kicked a big foot and drove the ball across the center circle and directly looked for his forward.
Chen Yu tried to grab the spot and was blocked by Everton's players, but Kuyt successfully picked up the ball and successfully topped the ball to the wing and looked for his teammate Pennant.
Pennant quickly dribbled forward, dribbled past Everton's midfield interception and made a two-step pass before making a direct cross.
Everyone thought Pennant would make a cross from the bottom, but he didn't expect that he had just arrived near the penalty area. Neither the defender nor the striker was ready. In the chaos, Everton's defender Lexter grabbed the landing point and headed the ball out of the penalty area.
Lexter also made a mistake in his busy schedule. The ball hit Mascherano directly in front of Mascherano. Mascherano stopped the ball with his chest and avoided the defender, thrust his feet and shot.
Mascherano tried to play in the upper right corner of the goal, but he was unable to control his footwork. The ball flew high over the crossbar.
Seeing Mascherano's shot was so outrageous, there was a burst of whining laughter in the stands. Everton fans would never let go if they had the opportunity to sarcastically hit Liverpool players.
The commentator on the scene also smiled and said, "Mascherano is the defender's foot! It's even more outrageous than Yakub. Yakub may be pursuing angles, and he is purely not good at footwork."
The game lasted only five or six minutes, and both sides had three shots. Although only Chen Yu's shot was considered threatening, the way the game opened and closed made the fans very excited. There were constant applause and shouting in the stands. Although the reputation of Goodison Park Stadium is incomparable to Anfield, it was not weak at all during the derby.
When Everton kicked the ball, Howard also made a direct long pass. Their short pass ability was not as good as Liverpool, and Liverpool's pressing was also fierce. Everton never fell in the backcourt, and almost all the balls were passed to the middle and frontcourt, allowing his teammates to compete.
Everton does not attach much importance to the ball rights. They attach more importance to efficiency. The focus is on grabbing, grabbing it directly, and if you can't grab it, you will be pestering it or committing a foul.
Liverpool's personal ability is stronger than Everton. Everton's forward is not particularly good at heading. After a snatch, Howard's goal was still pushed to Alonso by Liverpool's defender Carragher. Alonso wanted to take the ball and pass it out, but was violently knocked down from behind by Jagilka.
Liverpool's free kick in the backcourt, Alonso passed it to Benayon, who dribbled the ball forward, and Chen Yu approached the side to meet.
Bernardon dribbled the ball towards the bottom line. At this time, Everton's defensive players had returned to their position. Bernardon had at least two defensive players in front, and it was very difficult to break through the bottom.
Benayon is not a tough guy, nor is he as young and energetic as Pennant. Seeing that it is not easy to break through, he was considering playing with Chen Yu to create space for Chen Yu. He dribbled the ball forward and forced Everton's full-back Hibert, but he and Hibert have always maintained a safe distance, not giving Hibert a chance to grab it. When Everton's midfielder assisted defense was in place, Benayon suddenly dribbled the ball horizontally and brought the ball to the middle.
Chen Yu and Bernardy also cooperated for a while. When he saw Bernardy's actions, he understood his intention. When Bernardy dribbled the ball into the middle, he quickly pulled the side and opened the space in the middle for Bernardy.
Benayon's cut inward has two purposes. If the player on the wing does not follow him, he will penetrate into the middle of the penalty area and then divide the sides. If the player on the wing comes with him, he will pass the ball to Chen Yu, and he will still step forward, preparing to grab the opportunity to receive the ball.
Bernardon is also a technical strongman, one of Liverpool's attack points. Although Everton regards Chen Yu as the top priority in defense, he has not relaxed his defense against Bernardon. Seeing Bernardon cut inside, it turned out that Jagilka, who had assisted defense from the middle to the wing, did not dare to let Bernardon face his defender directly. He followed closely, with only Hibert left on the wing.
Seeing someone following him, Benayon stopped quickly and passed the ball to the side to find Chen Yu, allowing Chen Yu to break through on the side and run into the penalty area himself.
When Chen Yu pulled the side, there were also defensive players following him. It was Everton's midfielder Ottoman. However, Chen Yu came and went like the wind and was extremely fast. He could only be two or three meters away from the back and was not able to fit in close proximity. However, his adorning was also a great threat to Chen Yu. Once Chen Yu slowed down and got the ball, Ottoman could rush over to destroy or foul.
People who are not familiar with Chen Yu will definitely not dare to pass such a ball rashly. For ordinary players, such passes will allow teammates to go to the sword mountain, but Bernardy dares to pass because in training, it is difficult to have the chance to encounter Chen Yu and Chen Yu's balls at such a distance during the defense.
The ball was passed horizontally, and Chen Yu went forward directly, and it might be intercepted or destroyed by the full-back in front, stopping the ball to protect it, and the Ottoman who followed him had a chance to foul. The free kick at this position was not very threatening. This was the time to test Chen Yu.
The fans in the stands, substitutes on the sidelines, commentators, and reporters all put themselves in their shoes. If I were in Chen Yu's position, how should I deal with this ball? They felt that it was not easy to deal with.
A genius is a genius. In such a flash of lightning, Chen Badminton knocked the ball horizontally toward the middle, and followed him with the trend.
"ah!"
"good!"
...
Many people outside the field couldn't help but shout.
This is definitely a clever way of dealing with it. Chen Yu believes that the Ottoman behind him will definitely rush over to destroy it with all his strength. He knocked the ball back in the direction of passing it, and walked inward, just in time to dodge the Ottoman.
Sure enough, Ottoman, who had no choice, rushed over before Chen Badminton touched the ball. He thought Chen Yu could not dodge at this moment, so he stretched out his foot to destroy the ball and hit him. If the referee showed mercy, he might not even be sentenced to a foul.
But Chen Yu suddenly disappeared from his eyes. Ottoman stopped urgently, but he accelerated so quickly that he suddenly stopped. When he stopped the car, he found that Chen Yu was actually sprinting towards the bottom line quickly from his inside.
Originally, Ottoman's speed was not as fast as Chen Yu, but now Chen Yu has started it for more than a second. It is almost a dream to keep up with it. However, Moyes had an explanation before that he would insist on being stubborn about Chen Yu and would have to chase after him if he had no chance. Ottoman had to bite the bullet and follow Chen Yu behind him.
Chen Yu no longer cared about Ottoman chasing him behind him. Such a long distance would not affect him against the full-back Hibert in front of him.
Seeing Hibert facing a bad situation of fighting Chen Yu one-on-one, Everton's central defender Stabbs quickly assisted in the wings despite the danger of emptiness in the penalty area.
Stabs's purpose is very clear. If he passes Hibert before he arrives, then he can pull the edge to stop Chen Yu from cutting inward. If Chen Yu has not passed Hibert yet, he will go over and attack Chen Yu with Hibert.
However, just when everyone's eyes were on Chen Yu, no one noticed that Liverpool's full-back Riser had assisted.
In fact, when Benayon got the ball, Lisse came up, but he was not very relieved about Benayon. He just followed from a distance and observed the situation of the game. Seeing Chen Badminton taking the ball, Lisse rushed towards the bottom line without hesitation.
Chen Yu had a broad vision and had no intention of breaking through Hibert. Seeing Riser coming up, Chen Yu was overjoyed. He pushed the ball straight behind Hibert and quickly penetrated into Everton's penalty area.
The sudden change occurred. Liser inserted it and made Everton's players a little stupid. They all thought that Chen Yu was going to cross from the bottom, and no one was on guard at all. Chen Yu went into the penalty area to grab the point. Seeing that Liser could no longer defend from the bottom, if Chen Yu grabbed the landing point in the penalty area, Everton's goal would be very dangerous.
"Ah! Dangerous!"
"Danger!"
"Defense! Defense!"
