Babel's volley was the closest Liverpool scored a goal. The goal was not scored, but Liverpool's morale was greatly improved. He ran more and more aggressively, and his fighting was becoming more and more decisive.

Everton was able to fight against Liverpool in the first twenty minutes because he was just relying on his breath to hold on. They ran more and fought harder than Liverpool. Now Liverpool is running faster than them and fighting fiercely, so Everton can't stand it anymore, conceding goals continuously, and the midfield can't control it. In order to make up for the loopholes in the defense, Everton's players can only retreat to the half.

It's great to suppress the opponent in the half, but Everton's players did not surrender. Their defensive strength is still the same. The space in the half is small, and it becomes more difficult for Liverpool to pass and receive the ball. There is a possibility of being intercepted and counterattacked at any time. The advantage is that Liverpool players are all active in Everton's half. Once they cooperate successfully, they can immediately make a shot.

Liverpool is a team with very tough styles of play, and its skills are not that delicate. After several short passes and steals, Liverpool players took the initiative to adjust their style of play, reducing the passes and cuts in the middle, and breaking through on the wing.

If the breakthrough on the wing is successful, the ball will be passed to the middle so that the players can grab the points. If the breakthrough on the wing is not successful, the space in the middle can be opened up, allowing Alonso, Gerald and Chen Yu to shoot long-range shots.

This style of play is a little simpler and the success rate is not high. However, Everton has fewer opportunities to steal and counterattack, and he can fully utilize Liverpool's advantage of strong long-range shooting ability. Liverpool players have a good effect on making active changes. Head coach Benitez did not make any adjustments. He feels that if he continues to play like this, there is still a great hope for Liverpool to score first.

Seeing that his team had the upper hand and overwhelmed the mortal enemies in the city, Liverpool fans were very happy. They kept applauding at the stadium and singing team songs, which made the atmosphere of the stadium in full swing.

McKenna, the leader of the Liverpool hard-core fan organization Shankley Souls, was very satisfied with the performance of Liverpool players and the atmosphere on the court, but he felt that the fire was still not the time to ignite. This time, it was a goal. Only a goal could detonate the whole game, making the game and the atmosphere reach the highest level, so he began to shout again, "In one!"

McKenna shouted, and the fans of Shankley's Souls shouted, they were the guides of all Liverpool fans. His shouts slowly spread and soon received a response from all Liverpool fans. The entire stadium once again shouted "In One".

Of course, there are no noises. Some Chen Yu's die-hard fans shout "Chen Yu goes in one", and Everton, who has only 10,000 people, is also cheering for his team. However, they are not as numerous as Liverpool fans, nor are they as well organized by Liverpool fans. They are suppressed and are worse than their players. So many people can only make some noises.

Liverpool are mostly experienced players. Knowing that having an advantage in the field does not mean that they can win the game. It is very common for them to win the game without scoring points. They are also eager to turn the advantage into the victory and turn the lead in the field into the lead in the score.

Everton's players pressed very tightly. Even if they lost their positions or missed people, they would never give up easily. Leave Liverpool's room to make moves and time is very short. The Liverpool players' slightly anxious mentality is not enough to seize the fleeting opportunity. Instead, they were beaten back by Everton.

In the 25th minute of the game, Arteta grabbed the clearing ball and launched a counterattack along the left. At this moment, most of the Liverpool players were in Everton's half. There were not many players left in his half. The full-back Finnant, who guarded the right, attacked and did not come back. Arteta easily scored to the bottom line and completed the cross.

The bottom crossing in the counterattack is very threatening. Liverpool's defender has to look at the arc and landing point of the pass, and also follows the players who are defending themselves. Even if the offensive players do cross-position and change directional running, the defensive players are prone to lose, unless you only look at the ball but not the person.

Liverpool's defensive players only targeted Yakub and Carlis. Unexpectedly, Everton's full-back Osman moved from the full-back position to the penalty area. Without anyone being guarded, he headed the ball before returning to defense.

When Ottoman headed the ball, he had already rushed into the penalty area. Such a header was also very difficult to defend against. In terms of viewing coefficient, it was no worse than Babel's volleyball shortly after the start of the game.

After Ottoman headed the ball, he felt that it was so close and so comfortable that it was not easy for the goalkeeper to react.

However, Liverpool goalkeeper Renner is not an ordinary person. He saw that Everton goalkeeper Howard had performed so bravely, and he had long been stimulated. He was determined to find opportunities to perform. However, Everton was suppressed very well and had few shots. Renner rarely had the opportunity to perform. When Ottoman grabbed the shot, Renner, who was prepared, rushed out like a cannon, and saved the ball from the baseline when the ball was about to completely cross the goal line.

"good!"

When Liverpool fans saw Ottoman heading so powerful and tricky, their hearts were already half cold. They felt that Reina could not save the header. Unexpectedly, Reina actually saved it, and his blood was bursting with excitement, and the word "good" blurted out almost in unison.

Liverpool's defenders had been shocked and sweating. If this ball was scored, they would have the greatest responsibility. If Renner saved the ball, they still felt scared.

Team deputy Carragher took the lead in thanking Reina. Although he just patted Reina on the shoulder, the meaning was very profound.

Then Liverpool's defenders went over one by one, Finnan patted the shoulder, Lisser's hug, and Agh punched Renner's chest. Renner's face couldn't hide his excitement. He bent his forearm, revealing his muscles with good lines, and shook it at the opposite side, with obvious provocation.

Everton served a corner kick.

In the 22nd minute of the first half, Everton only got two shots. They wanted to score, and set-pieces were very important. Moyes formulated four set-piece tactics before the game: grab the front point, grab the back point, long shot at the front of the penalty area, and tactical free kick. This time Everton made a tactical free kick. Phil Neville passed it back, and Pinal passed the ball directly to the penalty area.

This corner kick was beyond Liverpool's expectations. The defensive player did not keep up immediately and was headed by black forward Yakub.

Carrag was very experienced and was snatched half of his position by Yakub, but he did not give up on defense. He bumped and pulled, interfered with Yakub's header. Yakub pushed the ball directly out of the baseline.

Everton won two consecutive shots, which made Liverpool coach Benitez's face sink. Everton only shot once in the first twenty minutes, but now he shot twice in two minutes. If the opponent is confident, this game will definitely be a fierce battle in Strontium.

Benitez saw the problem of Liverpool, that is, he was a little anxious to score goals. Except for the goalkeeper, everyone was focused on the goal. Even when the opponent was attacking, the players were thinking about how to counterattack. They had too many ideas, which gave Everton the opportunity to shoot.

"Calm down! Calm down! Don't be impatient! Give the ball to Chen Yu! Give the Gerard!" Benitez shouted loudly to the field, asking the players to give the ball to Chen Yu and Gerard. Both of them have strong reading game skills, can control the rhythm, and can break the balance. When people are restless, it is more reliable to hand the ball to them.

After playing for more than 20 minutes, Everton was forced to the half, but his confidence was not lost. His fighting spirit was not bad at all. It can be said that Liverpool only had the advantage in the field. To say that winning the game, judging from the situation just now, it is still quite difficult. If you can't catch it for a long time, you may even be scored by a counterattack.

As the team's two thighs, Chen Yu and Gerald must stand up and break the deadlock at this time, and at least change the status quo. Even if Benitez does not give orders, the two are ready to break through the ball.

Passing and receiving balls are not as good as you want, nor are they able to pass by the coach if you want to pass. If a player wants to get the ball, he not only needs to run out of the position, but also needs the player holding the ball to have a good pass line. In addition, it depends on the opponent's guarding situation, otherwise it will be cut off and the opponent may make a counterattack.

Chen Yu is in front and has a greater threat. Everton is very strict with him. It is much more difficult for him to catch the ball. Gerrard is in the midfield and often returns to his own penalty area. Everton's defense against Gerrard is relatively loose, and Gerrard has much more chances to get the ball than Chen Yu.

In the 25th minute of the game, Gerald retreated to the center circle to get the ball.

Gerrard has a midfielder and a defender behind him. Even if the ball is intercepted, the opponent will not be very threatening. Taking the ball at this position does not pose a great threat to Everton's goal. Everton's players did not foul Gerrard at the first time, and Gerrard sprinted to speed.

A star like Gerald has a strong combination of human-ball. After the speed is up, it is difficult to stop him without foul.

Everton's midfielder Pinal made a far-reaching kick to break Gerald's ball, but Gerald's clever pivoting, and then Casley chased and pulled from behind without catching up.

Everton's players were scared and could not let Gerald take him any longer. At this time, they didn't care about the people they were guarding themselves. Three or four players came to surround Gerald.

Gerald is not Pennant, a naughty guy like Babel. He is addicted to dribbling the ball and does not pass the ball until the dead ball is dead. He saw that he attracted three opponents and swept the frontcourt. Chen Yu, Kuyt and Babel appeared in his sight. There was no one around Babel, but he was frivolous in the ball. Kuyt was in the middle and there was a defender next to him. Chen Yu was moving to the side of the side at this time, and the defender was next to him.

After glanced at this, Gerald knew who it was supposed to pass to. Chen Yu and Kuyt were following, but Chen Yu ran on the sidelines with no defensive player in front. Kuyt had a goalkeeper in front. It was difficult for Gerald to pass the ball to the position where Kuyt could get it, but goalkeeper Howard could not get it. Besides, there was a guard who was eyeing him very quickly and had good explosive power. As long as Gerald passed the ball to the space in front of Chen Yu, Chen Yu had a great chance of getting it away from the defensive player and getting the ball.

Gerald stopped waiting. He slowed down his pace, adjusted his step point, rubbed his right foot strongly under the ball. The ball rose from the ground, crossed the defensive player and headed straight to the right side of the court.
