Everton came to Anfield Stadium with a heart of disruption today, and also made wild comments before the game, but in the game, except for the first ten minutes, they were completely suppressed by Liverpool. The scene and data were completely behind. What can support them to stick to the end is that they have not conceded the goal. Now the goal has been broken by Chen Yu's world wave. Everton's players' suppression for a long time finally exploded in full swing. They can't stand being suppressed by Liverpool forever. They want to attack and score goals. Even if they can't stop Liverpool from winning the championship, they have to bite a piece of meat from Liverpool.

Everton began to counterattack, or to start fighting desperately. Except for the goalkeeper, everyone was fighting desperately. They were chasing every rolling and flying ball, and they chased every standing and running opponent. They were not like they were playing a professional game, but were fighting a life-and-death battle. Even the goalkeeper Howard, who was fixed in the penalty area, kept roaring to cheer his teammates.

The Liverpool players thought that Everton would never bow his head and admit defeat. They would counterattack, but they did not expect that they would burst out with such strong combat power. Although this is their defeated player, Everton can only be the second in Liverpool, but at this moment, Everton's momentum is not inferior to their boss who just took the lead, and it is even more than that. They don't want Everton's momentum to rise. They try their best to suppress Everton again.

Forton, but soon they found that they could no longer hold back this time. Even if Chen Yu and Gerald personally controlled the ball, Everton was too united. 11 people were fighting hard. The combat power was not achieved by Liverpool. Unless Liverpool could do 11 people working together, they could not defeat a team like an army by relying solely on one or two players. No matter how strong his personal ability was, he could not beat a team that cooperated with a tacit understanding. This has been verified by countless battle examples, and today it is just another verification.

Liverpool was kicked out of Everton's half and had a tendency to lose his half. If it weren't for the superstars like Chen Yu, Gerald, and Alonso, Liverpool might even lose the goal in just a few minutes.

"This is the Derby! This is the charm of the Derby!"

"Everton is not a soft persimmon, they are not a soft egg. In Liverpool, there is not only one Reds!"

"The game is even more exciting! Everton's good looks depend on Liverpool."

The commentators were shocked and couldn't help but admire the charm of the Derby and the blood of the Evertons.

Liverpool players retreated continuously, and Everton's offense became smaller. Liverpool thought this could limit Everton's offense, but he did not expect that this would make Everton's offense even more threatening. With Everton players' desperate pressing, if Liverpool didn't kick the ball, the ball would not pass the half.

Benitez was frightened when he watched on the sidelines. The ball flew up and down the penalty area. Even if Everton's players couldn't grab the point, anyone could bounce into the goal when they touched the ball. Liverpool only leads one goal now. Everton can equalize the score as long as he has such good luck.

He can't continue like this. Even if he can't maintain his original advantage, he can't let the ball keep wandering in the penalty area. Benitez is a gold medal coach who has won many championships. He is not a newcomer. He made a quick decision and immediately set the defense line forward. He would rather give the opponent space to counterattack than let Everton play around his penalty area.

Benitez's decision was very timely. With Everton's ruthlessness, it was very difficult for Liverpool to not concede the ball like this. Liverpool may also rely on counterattacks to score again, but Everton will also score. If it is a draw, if the opponent is at the same level, Benitez may continue to siege Everton and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. But now, Benitez does not want to bet with Everton. He wants to push the battlefield to the midfield, stay away from his penalty area, and slowly find opportunities to score goals. Compared with Everton, Liverpool's advantage is that superstars like Chen Yu and Gerrard are able to create and find opportunities to score goals.

Liverpool took the defense line forward and forced Everton's players to leave the penalty area. Everton gained a lot of offensive space, but they are not the kind of team with many offensive routines. They used crazy fighting to gain a lot of ball rights in the midfield. However, facing Liverpool's tacit defense, Everton had the ball rights but could not enter Liverpool's penalty area.

In the midfield battle, this is the situation that Benitez needs. Even if Everton has a little advantage, Benitez believes that this is also acceptable to Reds fans. After all, Liverpool is still ahead in the score. Although Everton is fighting so fiercely now, he is a real man who can hold on for 90 minutes. According to Benitez's judgment, if Everton really dares to fight like this, one-third of the players will cramp in the second half.

Everton is in great shape this season and has a mature tactical system. He thinks this is a great opportunity to challenge Liverpool's report to be suppressed over the years, but he was suppressed again. The anger of Everton players burst out at this time. At this moment, they cannot feel fatigue and will not think about how to allocate their physical fitness. They just want to let out anger. As long as they can breathe this breath, they won't care even if they are beaten into a sieve later.

After Liverpool adjusted its style of play, the intensity of the game did not weaken, and the pace of the game did not slow down. Although the number of shots of both sides gradually decreased, the fans were still very devoted to watching, cheering and applause, and they were unaware of the passage of time.

The first half passed quickly, and the score was still 1:0, with Liverpool leading at home.

Everton's performance in the first half was also good. They played in the first ten minutes that matched their top five in the standings. They did not give up after conceding the ball. Instead, they played better and better, suppressing Liverpool until the end of the first half.

When summarizing the performances of both sides, the commentator of "Sky Sports" said: "Liverpool showed their old and strong ability to seize opportunities. Everton showed their courage and fighting spirit. Liverpool led by one goal in the score. Everton had the upper hand in the scene. It should be said that it was a situation of equal strength. This also made us look forward to the second half. I hope Everton will continue to be strong, and even if he tied Liverpool, he could give us a surprise."

Chinese commentator Liu Jian was worried about Liverpool's performance, "Liverpool played too hard, the derby is not easy, and it is Everton with such excellent confidence in form. It is already good that Liverpool can keep the score of 1:0 in the first half. Liverpool must perform better in the second half, otherwise it will not be easy for them to win this game. Everton will not be willing to not get a single point at Anfield. Their purpose is to destroy Liverpool's defending title.

Dream... In another game, Manchester United performed well in the first half. He scored two goals in the first half and had the upper hand. If there was no surprise, there would be no problem to win. Now the gap between Manchester United and Liverpool is only 1 point. If Liverpool cannot defeat Everton in the second half, they will lose the top position. At the same time, they will also lose the initiative to win the championship. Liverpool must be careful. No matter from any aspect, this is a game that cannot be lost."

Liverpool's coaches and players are very clear about this game. After returning to the locker room, the players and coaches replenished their hydration, they were discussing the gains and losses in the first half.

Liverpool players were not satisfied with the first half of the game. They thought Liverpool could perform better. In addition to being dissatisfied with their performance, Liverpool also believed that referee Weber's favoritism was also an important reason for them to fall into a disadvantage. Everton had too many foul moves in the first half, and the movement without foul moves was also between foul and non-foul moves, but as long as it was not an action that hurts people, Weber pretended not to see them.

Everton did not hesitate to work hard. Their results were determined and they had no worries, but Liverpool did not dare to work hard. They also had the FA Cup, the Champions League or the League, and they could not give up either. They naturally hoped to play under a relatively strict law enforcement standard. Weber's standard today is relatively fair, but such a standard is very unfavorable to Liverpool.

Benitez can adjust his tactics, but he cannot affect the referee's law enforcement standards. He can only comfort his players and make them play peacefully and believe in himself. Even if the referee's standards are not conducive to Liverpool's performance, Liverpool can defeat Everton and defend Anfield's honor.

After Benitez comforted the players, he called Chen Yu and Gerald aside alone, asking them to minimize ball control in the midfield in the second half to avoid injury, and shoot whenever they can shoot at the front of the penalty area, and do not pass the ball. When he said this, Benitez almost told Chen Yu in a whispery voice that instead of passing the ball to others, it would be better for him to shoot by himself, unless his teammates are in a good position, he is the Liverpool bottle opener and the key to opening the door to victory.

Benitez was really disappointed with the shooting ability of other Liverpool players, otherwise he would not say this to Chen Yu. Of course, this is also because the situation of the game is too tense. Liverpool must win. Chen Yu shot more, so Liverpool can score more goals.

Visitor team locker room

Moyes has hardly made many tactical comments and requirements, mainly to give the players a lot of blood. When playing with super teams like Liverpool, tactics and other things are all bad. It is almost unrealistic to defeat Liverpool with tactics. Unless Benitez makes a big move, it is actually a comparison of courage and diligence. Only these two aspects can compete with Liverpool.
