Chapter 863 Derby (4)

With an excellent offensive opportunity, Riser was very excited after surpassing Hibert and he went straight to the bottom line and passed the ball strongly into the penalty area.

Liser may be too excited. He actually passed the ball with no defense. Chen Yu jumped high from the front point and did not touch Kuyt and the defenders behind him.

There are also players who are circling the back point at Liverpool. Pennant has already inserted it to the back point, but his header is at the middle and lower level at Liverpool. Pennant has grabbed the header at the back point, and goalkeeper Howard did not follow the back point, but Pennant has pushed the ball to the side net.

"Smelly!"

"Such a pass! Such a header!"

"I'm drunk too!"

"Rise was greatly out of standard!"

...

Liverpool fans were very dissatisfied with such a great offensive opportunity to be wasted, but the main mistake was that of Liser. Pennant himself did not have much heading ability. If Liser passed well, Chen Yu and Kuyt would be able to grab the spot, and the heading would be much more powerful.

Benitez shook his hand so much that he sighed. Riser's pass was very stable. I don't know if he hasn't entered the state yet, and there is no defense. Just like training, he actually passed the pass.

The Evertons are in a complicated mood, happy and heavy. This is because they did not defend well and were torn apart by their opponents. If the opponent had not passed the ball, they might have conceded the ball. However, in 90 minutes of a game, the opponent could not make mistakes every time. If they did not defend well, they would definitely be punished.

Moyes knew that the problem was still with Chen Yu. Chen Yu attracted so much attention that everyone else got the opportunity. If Chen Yu could not be locked, Everton's defense would be difficult behind him.

But Chen Yu is not easy to defend against. Even when facing Manchester United, Chelsea and other giants, Chen Yu often asks for help, let alone Everton.

Moyes is also very clear about this. He doesn't expect to defend himself completely. He only has a few ways to keep an eye on the whole game, and he will foul when he sees the situation is not good. He will limit how much he can, and then it depends on the performance of his offensive players. If he performs well, he will not be unable to win.

The key point is to fight his own offense, so Moyes did not emphasize his defense against Chen Yu, but waved his players to push upwards and strengthen the offense.

Everton's offense is very simple. Whether from the wing or in the middle, he directly hits the ball into the penalty area. Although the success rate is not too high, it puts a lot of pressure on Liverpool's defender. If Everton can continue to get the ball, the pressure on Liverpool will not be small.

However, Liverpool started in a very good shape. The players were affected by the Champions League victory and played very confidently in both offense and defense. Everton is now strengthening the offense and they have a lot of room for attack in the frontcourt.

In the 14th minute of the game, Everton's cross from the wing was intercepted by Liser. Liser glanced at Everton's backcourt and found that his teammates Chen Yu and Kuyt were running quickly, and immediately made a long pass behind Everton's defender.

This was a long pass that exceeded fifty meters. When the ball fell behind the defender, Chen Yu had already caught up. He jumped high and stopped the ball. Without waiting for the ball to land, he raised his right foot and shot the ball into Everton's goal. The distance was too close and Howard was unable to even react.

However, just as Chen Yu raised his hand to celebrate, the lineman's flag was raised early, and the referee Clattenberg also waved to indicate that the ball was offside.

"What? Offside? How could it be offside!"

Chen Yu ran to the front lineman angrily and asked him loudly.

The border silenced.

Referee Clattenberg said to Chen Yu: "Chen, please respect the lineman's work. If you have any questions, you can appeal after the game."

“There is nothing to do with appealing after the game.”

Chen Yu said angrily.

"That's right, there's nothing wrong with appealing."

At this time, Liverpool players also came, and they were even more angry than Chen Yu. In their opinion, there was no problem with this goal.

Clattenberg spread his hands and said, "But that's all."

"Forget it, go back."

Alonso and Carragher looked at their teammates who were emotional and worried about angering the referee to take the cards, so they reached out to stop their teammates and asked them to return to their positions and stop being entangled.

When the goal was scored, Liverpool fans also jumped up. Unexpectedly, the goal was not counted. The crowd was angry and booed the referee Clattenberg at the same time.

Benitez on the sidelines was also very excited and rushed over to protest to the fourth official, believing that this was a good ball against offside. Chen Yu did not offside when Liser passed the ball. It was after the ball was passed, and he ran behind the defender.

The fourth official quickly comforted Benitez, letting him calm down and obey the referee's punishment, otherwise the game would not be able to continue.

Benitez also understood that when Everton's home court, the penalty would definitely not be changed. But he was angry and he was so nervous that he didn't vent his anger. In addition, this was Everton's home court. The referee was likely to be biased towards the home team under the pressure of fans. He hoped to use this to put pressure on the referee so that the referee would not do so obviously. However, the slow motion came out soon. Judging from the slow motion, it was really difficult to tell whether Chen Yu was offside or not. It was a matter of a slight margin. After the fourth official comforted him, he could not say anything more.

The game continues and Liverpool still has the advantage on the field.

In the 19th minute of the game, Chen Badminton passed the ball and prepared to cooperate with his teammates with two or two, but was plotted by Everton's midfielder Phil Neville, and he tripped to the ground with his legs.

This is a foul in a run without the ball. Many times the referee can't see it, but Liverpool's goal was cancelled just now. This time the linebacker seemed to want to find some balance. He quickly shook the flag and told the referee that someone had a foul. Kratenberg asked the linebacker, called Phil Neville over and gave him a verbal warning.

Fortunately, a star like Phil Neville has been in a giant club like Manchester United for many years. If he is an ordinary player, Kratenberg would probably have given him a yellow card.

Liverpool got a free kick opportunity.

This free kick is almost ten meters away from the penalty area. Alonso took the free kick and Chen Yu went to the penalty area to grab the spot.

Alonso was about to pass the ball into the penalty area, but suddenly he found that Finan quickly ran from the midfield toward the bottom line, while Everton seemed not to notice Finan. Alonso made a quick decision and immediately gave up the cross and passed the ball directly to Finan.

When Alonso passed the ball, Everton's players discovered Finnan, and Arteta quickly went to chase Finnan.

However, Arteta is not a speed player. He started two steps late, and it would be difficult to catch up with him.

Finan quickly rushed to the bottom line and passed the ball to the middle of the penalty area at the bottom line.

Liverpool players had already stood in the penalty area and were ready to receive Alonso's free kick cross. When they saw Finan holding the ball down, they immediately changed their position to welcome Finan's cross from the bottom.

Such changes are beneficial to offensive players. They can run according to their usual training habits, but they cause great trouble to defensive players. Everton players were originally good at one-on-one, but now when Liverpool players move, there are so many people in the penalty area, crowded and touched people. It turns out that the players who are stuck in the position cannot keep up and can only defend nearby, which is easy to miss people.

Finnan also made a cross without defense this time, but Finnan was more stable than Lisser. His pass may not be as powerful as Lisser, but he would not pass too far.

Finnan passed a low flat ball, which didn't spin much, but was very fast, and the speed was the time. At this time, the defensive players were unstable and the fast ball was even more difficult to deal with.

Sure enough, Everton's players had not found a player they defended, and the ball flew over. The players at the front point did not touch the ball. Kuyt in the middle ran well and just waited for the landing point. However, Stubs, who defended him, followed him tightly. Although he was half a beat slower than Kuyt, he was experienced. When he took off, he did not just grab the header, but used his body to squeeze Kuyt to interfere with Kuyt's header.

Kuyt's body had already taken off the air and did not leverage the force in the air. He was deformed when Stubs touched it. He originally wanted to push the ball to the goalkeeper's reverse direction, but when the action was deformed, the ball accidentally hit the goalkeeper Howard's arms.

Howard saw Kuyt grab the landing point and was moving towards his far corner. His position felt very good. He knew that if Kuyt really hit the far corner, he would definitely not be able to dive. When he was very anxious, he didn't expect the ball to fly into his arms. Howard hurriedly hugged him and then lay on the ground.

"Oh! Stinky ball!"

"What a pity!"

"A pretty assist from Finnan wasted."

"If it was Chen, he might have entered!"

...

Another good offense, but Liverpool still couldn't grasp the final kick, which disappointed Liverpool fans. Many people couldn't help but complain, but most people still sighed and regretted.

Moyes frowned, and another shot. After twenty minutes of the game, Liverpool shot at the goal. Everton only shot once. If this continues, Everton dares not say that he can hold on to a 90-minute game.

Benitez felt equally uncomfortable. In the twenty minutes, Liverpool shot five times, and one of the goals was awarded offside, and he did not score. This was very dangerous. Before Chen Yu came, Liverpool's game against a weak team was like this. He had good games and had many opportunities, but he was not sure. In the end, he either shook hands with his opponent and was lost by his opponent's sneak attack. After Chen Yu came, this situation was rare, but today Benitez seemed to have a feeling of returning to the past.

Duan Xuan, the Chinese commentator at the scene, was also vaguely uneasy and said: "Liverpool has no luck in scoring today. I didn't score several good opportunities. Finally, Chen Yu scored one and was sentenced to offside again. It's hard to say if this continues. Everton is not a weak spot without combat effectiveness. They have entered the European arena last season."

However, some people are full of confidence in Liverpool, namely Liverpool bosses Gillette and Hicks, whose confidence mainly comes from Chen Yu.

"Look at Chen Yu, he played calmly and was not in a hurry at all. I believe he must have a way to break through Everton's goal." Gillette pointed at the court.
