The Ball at Your Feet

After this game, Liverpool is even more vigorous for the future games. At this time, they also ushered in one of the most important games of the season: their opponent in the next round is Everton.

The state of the two teams this season is completely different: Liverpool has advanced all the way and is now second in the standings, and before the game, it has achieved an outstanding record of six consecutive victories all the way, and launched against the top position. Shock. Before this game, Everton had lost three games in a row, and his state had fallen to the bottom. What needs to be considered now is how to boost morale as soon as possible. When we meet now, Liverpool has the upper hand in terms of strength and fighting spirit. of.

But even so, Liverpool must play this game well: Derby is different from other games. In case of loss, the loss is not only the points, but also the face. This kind of game, Liverpool can't afford to lose. .

Before this game, Hypia had returned from injury. However, at this time, he also knew that the defense could not be easily rotated, and consciously sat on the bench.

In this game, although it was at Everton's home court, Liverpool did not worry too much. After all, the strength is superior, and the other party is in poor condition, so there should be nothing wrong with it. During the game, Liverpool also had a rotation. At the left-back position, Traore replaced Riise, and the right-back was replaced by Fernando, while Garcia replaced Figo in the front field, and Morientes started at the center position.

"In this round of the game, it looks like Liverpool have a win-but they have reasons to do so. Everton did not perform well this season. They only scored 4 goals in their eight home games. Last season, they They are still fifth in the league, and this season, they will have to consider relegation."

After failing to compete for the Champions League place last season, Everton's life this season is not good. They have the UEFA Cup to play, but unfortunately, the UEFA Cup is not as profitable as the UEFA Champions League after all, which makes Everton Dayton's interest is not very high. And their signings this season and the team's lineup are not very good, although Cahill still played a high level, but it is difficult for others to say good. Moreover, Everton’s luck was not good. In the UEFA Cup draw, it happened to have caught up with the away game with Zenit St. Petersburg, and they had to travel a long distance to Russia, which affected their state even more. In half a season, it has almost become the bottom team in the league. Playing against Liverpool is a great challenge for them.

At the beginning of the game, there was a one-sided situation. Less than five minutes into the game, Gerrard's right-footed pass was sent to the penalty area. Morientes followed up with a volley shot to defender Yabo's body and the bottom line popped up, making the audience exclaimed.

"Morientes did a good job in this game. Oh, we seem to see Raul in the stands... Has he come to see Morientes again? And he came with his wife and children. No wonder Morientes was so passionate during the game..."

Soon, Zhao Yaning issued a corner kick. Everton's defense was still reliable. Yabo made a header and knocked out the corner kick from Zhao Yaning. However, Gerrard was outside the penalty area and immediately followed up with a fill-in shot. The ball hit Valente, and Morientes, who followed up, immediately made a supplementary shot and kicked the ball into the goal!

"Liverpool scored the goal in the first five minutes! Morientes scored in the penalty area for Liverpool. It seems that Liverpool are very well prepared for this game."

Less than ten minutes later, Liverpool had another chance.

This time, Zhao Yaning, who got the ball, rushed up from the left, and originally wanted to pass the ball to Morientes. Phil Neville blocked Zhao Yaning and blocked his pass. However, although he blocked the ball with his back, he could not control the ball. The ball fell to Gerrard’s feet. Gerrard threw the ball through and gave it to Zhao Yaning, who was running into the penalty area.

Facing Yabo who made up the spot, Zhao Yaning kicked the ball far away. Garcia, who came in, followed up with a shot and scored again for Liverpool!

"Liverpool 2-0! Liverpool scored two goals in just fifteen minutes!"

Liverpool's frontcourt, after half a season, has been running very well. Relying on Zhao Yaning to launch an attack from the side of the penalty area, Liverpool became more and more difficult to resist. Zhao Yaning can lower the bottom of the ribs, insert into the restricted area inwardly, or swept across and transposition with Gerrard. And his body is as good as his ability to hold the ball behind his back. He has speed and technology. He is outstanding in both alone ability and coordination ability, which also makes his methods of playing football diversified.

The ribs themselves are the most difficult position to guard against. In this position, you can attack the bottom line, the penalty area, and the center at the same time. Therefore, full backs, central defenders, and midfielders all need to pay attention to players in this position. Once a player with strong ball holding ability gets the ball in this position, it is naturally easy for him to rely on his own running to lead the defensive player to a position where he is not good at it, which increases the pressure on the defense. A lot. Arsenal can be proud of the Premier League by relying on tactics to attack the ribs. Now, Zhao Yaning has become more and more comfortable in this position and has begun to make greater achievements.

In the second half, Liverpool found a third chance. This time, Zhao Yaning got into the middle and started to run to the left, while Morientes gave the ball to Gerrard and made up for him from the middle. Zhao Yaning took the ball out of the penalty area, and Gerrard just passed the ball. At his feet, Zhao Yaning knocked the pass and sent the ball into the penalty area.

Morientes immediately ran back, and Garcia's movement also pulled away the opponent. Morientes got the opportunity to shoot and kick the ball into the goal!

Two goals lead, relying on Morientes scored twice, Liverpool expanded the score. And this score has persisted to the end. Although Everton launched several counterattacks, Liverpool also suppressed all the counterattacks.

After this game, Liverpool also achieved seven consecutive victories in the league and continued to maintain pressure on Chelsea.

Unfortunately, in another game, Chelsea defeated Manchester City 1-0-this is the first time Chelsea have broken Manchester City's gate since Abramovich took over. Originally hoped that Chelsea's luck would continue to deteriorate, and Liverpool, who lost another game, were naturally disappointed. This also made the Liverpool players have to sigh that Mourinho was really tough.

After this game, Liverpool's next opponent is West Bromwich Albion.

This game is the last battle before the start of the winter transfer period. The opponents are also very weak. The last time they beat Liverpool at Anfield was in 1967. Such a game allowed Benitez to boldly make a rotation, allowing Zhao Yaning and Gerrard to rest during the game. Even so, relying on a cross from Kewell to Milito, Milito scored a header and again won a victory for Liverpool.

Half a season has passed. Liverpool have scored forty-nine points with 18 wins, 16 wins, one draw and one loss. No matter how you look at it, they are already trying to get a satisfactory score. However, at this time, Liverpool is still second in the league.

Chelsea have won 17 wins, two draws and one loss in 20 games. They have 53 points and still lead Liverpool. Although everyone is also losing, but Chelsea have completed more games, won more, and the state is long enough, which makes Liverpool very helpless.

And the third place Manchester United, this is already 20 matches, 12 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, with a total of 40 points. Although it seems not too small, but it is already behind. Obviously, there is no midfielder for half the season, which has a great influence on them.

Arsenal's form is even worse. With nineteen wins, eleven wins, two draws and six losses, they only scored 35 points now, not to mention winning the championship, even the top four are difficult to guarantee. After all, Tottenham played quite well this season, but Arsenal suffered injuries. It is difficult for them to beat their North London opponents this season. The final result will be known after the season.

"We reiterate once again that Liverpool is the most powerful contender for the Premier League title this season!"

Since the Premier League, Liverpool has never been so close to the Premier League championship. Half a season later, they have led Manchester United by nine points in two games. It can be said that only Chelsea is left, and this naturally makes Liverpool extremely excited.

"Half a season ago, people were still saying that the Premier League situation would be a triwizard hegemony. Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United were considered to be the rulers of the Premier League. But half a season has passed and Liverpool has risen, and now Liverpool I can proudly announce that this season belongs to Liverpool!"

But just when Liverpool was happy, a sudden draw stopped Liverpool's eight-game winning streak abruptly.

The game against Bolton started very smoothly. In the first half, when Zhao Yaning was running a frontcourt, after receiving a direct pass from Alonso's midfielder, he did not choose to pass the ball. Instead, he broke through the defender beside him and directly faced the goalkeeper and scored. One goal gave the team a lead. In the second half, Milito scored with a low shot, which expanded the score for the team. However, the game is still moving in a direction they did not expect.

In the fiftieth minute ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After Sissoko fell to the ground for a tackle, he was too late to get up and protected the ball under his body. And Bolton forward Kevin Davis, who rushed to grab the ball, kicked it directly and hit him heavily on the head. This kick directly caused Sissoko into a coma!

This caused Liverpool and Bolton to fight immediately. Although the referee took out the cards again and again, they gave Zhao Yaning, Gerrard, Alonso and other players a yellow card in one breath, barely restraining the excitement of both sides, but they could not prevent the game from becoming more intense. After Liverpool replaced Haman as the midfielder, the game between the two sides became more and more intense. Soon, Vidic was almost an ankle tackle in the penalty area and directly applied for him. At the same time as the red card, he also got a penalty for Bolton.

After completing the substitution, Liverpool did not get any better. Harman hadn't played for a long time. Obviously he was out of form, and Hypia was not doing well after recovering from a serious injury. Their defense again had problems. Before the end of the game, Bolton Okocha's long shot once again broke Liverpool's. The gate turned the score into a 2-2 draw.

The problem of not winning the game is not too big, at least, it is far from the other problem.

Sissoko was injured, and his injuries are still very serious.
