Chapter 1249 Hardworking Everton

Everton is really a representative of hard work.

What was supposed to be a close Merseyside derby turned into a point-grabbing game for Liverpool people.

People didn't pay attention to Everton at all. The game hadn't started yet. In the eyes of Liverpool people, three points were won.

If this kind of mentality is known to the Everton people, I don't know how angry they will be.

But their anger turned to anger, and there was no way to vent the anger in their hearts.

Who told them that they haven't won Liverpool for three years?
It's not that long, but it feels like a long time has passed.In the 2010-2011 season, when Everton played against Liverpool in the league, they still had the advantage.That season they beat Liverpool 2:0 at home and drew Liverpool 2:2 away.

But when Chen Yingxiong joined Liverpool, the situation changed drastically.

Chen Yingxiong scored a goal in Liverpool's first Merseyside derby, helping Liverpool beat Everton 2-0 away.

From that game onwards, Liverpool turned the tide and kept pressing Everton. For three seasons, home or away, they have never lost to this city rivals. No, it has to be said - three seasons Rely on, whether it is home or away, Everton lost all!
If you can't win, then you have no confidence.

In this Merseyside derby, even at their home court, the Evertonians did not think they could beat Liverpool.

This summer, rivals Liverpool in the same city are desperately trying to make up for it.And Everton?They are selling people.The main left-back Barnes was sold to Manchester United, and the main midfielder Fellaini was sold to Arsenal.

How can this still give Everton fans confidence?
Coupled with the bloody examples before this season, I told the Evertonians-don't expect revenge, and teams that discount the banner of revenge will die miserably when they encounter Liverpool.Manchester United, who wanted revenge, lost 1:3 away to Liverpool, and Manchester City, which was also full of hatred with Manchester United, also lost 0:3 away.Why does Everton feel that he can succeed in revenge when his strength is so different from these two?
Just because you are at home and Liverpool is away?
It is estimated that this reason will really make people laugh when they say it now.

How many years has it been since Everton beat Liverpool at home?The last time they beat Liverpool at home was in the 2010-2011 season. They beat Liverpool 2-0 at home.

Next, the whole journey was full of blood and tears!

In the 2011-2012 season, Everton was defeated by Liverpool 0:2 at their home court.Chen Yingxiong, who participated in the Merseyside Derby for the first time, scored a goal.

The 2012-2013 season was the closest Everton came to beating Liverpool at home.In that game, Everton once led by two goals, but was defeated by Liverpool 3:2 in the second half. Chen Yingxiong scored twice to help the team beat Everton.

In the 2013-2014 season, that is, last season, Everton lost a 2:4 at their home court, which can be described as a disastrous defeat.

What's the point of such a home field?
In the past, the most anticipated thing for Everton fans was the same-city derby with Liverpool. Regardless of whether they win or lose such a game, it is exciting to watch.They can vent all the emotions they have accumulated for a week, or even a season, in this game.

But no Everton fan thinks there's anything to look forward to in a Merseyside derby right now.

Many people like to pretend to say a word: the joy of football is pure. We like football because we like those exquisite dribbles, exciting goals and wonderful defenses. We like football itself, which has nothing to do with winning or losing.

If they dare to say that in front of Everton fans, they will definitely be spit on by Everton fans.

In Europe, even children who have just started playing football understand a truth-how can football that cannot win bring them happiness?
Always fail, always lose, what happiness is there?No one wants to be a loser. If you don’t want to, what qualifications do you have to ask others to let go of winning or losing and treat football purely?

If you want children to like football, you have to let them experience the joy of winning. Only in this way will they like football.Only by getting started with the desire to win can you have the opportunity to gradually come into contact with all aspects of football and fall in love with this sport.

Not to mention children, even adults and professional players value victory so much. Are they all utilitarians?

There are certainly not as many fans of a team that has not won a championship for decades, and there are definitely not as many fans of a wealthy team that wins a championship every year.

Arsenal, which has not had a championship for several consecutive years, can't even keep its own captain, and the brain drain is serious.

Can you accuse these fans and players of being ungrateful villains?

No, this is human nature.

Therefore, the most fundamental thing in football is victory. Without victory, there is no football.

The British say "no derby, no football", which shows the status and importance of the derby in the history of modern football, but in fact it should be "no victory, no football".Why does the derby have such a high status and evaluation, because the derby means a close match, which means that both sides have a chance to win, and no one can overwhelm the other.Both parties involved will have passion and enthusiasm, and this will form a trend. In the competition with each other, football will be pushed forward, and eventually it will blossom everywhere and become the "world's number one sport" today.

If a game becomes one-sided, one team always dominates, and there is no suspense about the outcome before the game, even if such a game is called a "same city derby", what's the point?Can it also give birth to the vigorous development of football?

Now at Liverpool, it's a bit like that.

Everton knows that they can't beat Liverpool, whether it's at home or as a guest at Anfield.

In this way, their investment in this game is obviously not enough.

It's not just that the players are not interested, even the media are not interested.

What reportable value is there in a game with no suspenseful outcome?

The Merseyside Derby, which used to be the derby with the most red cards in England, is losing its appeal year by year.

For football in the city of Liverpool, this is not necessarily a good thing.

So everyone can imagine that if football was just developing, in Nottingham, Sheffield, Liverpool, Manchester, London, Birmingham... in many cities with multiple teams, there would be If such a team is one-sided, can football still develop in the whole of England like a spark?

Impossible.

The sport loses a lot of its charm along with it.

※ ※ ※

Although for Liverpool's football development, for Everton, this is not a good thing.But for Liverpool fans and players, this must be a good thing-the ultimate goal of all derby teams is to completely defeat their rivals, suppress them, and keep them from turning over forever.You can always be so arrogant in front of the fans of your sworn enemy.

Although sometimes they will pretend to say something: "Without such an opponent, what is the meaning of our existence? It is precisely because of the strength of the opponent that we can reflect our greatness!"

But this is just a way for the winner to show his demeanor.Has anyone ever seen a losing team say that in a derby?

No, because saying so would be considered an idiot.

The Merseyside derby is meaningless to the Liverpool team, it doesn't matter, they only need three points.

Maybe Everton fans will feel frustrated and bitter about not being able to beat Liverpool in the derby.

But Liverpool fans will not feel sorry.

Everton only has Liverpool in their eyes, but Liverpool's goals are all over the world.

In the Merseyside Derby, the most painful person was not the Everton fans who knew they were going to lose, but Everton's coach Moyes.

Moyes is a very good head coach, which can be seen from his years of coaching at Everton. In 2002, when he was 39 years old, he joined Everton and worked here for 12 years.

Under his leadership, Everton has stabilized in the middle of the league and occasionally participated in European competitions.Although it is only in the middle, it is not easy. You must know that they have not been downgraded yet.He has won the title of the best coach of the year selected by the English League Coaches Association three times, and is the coach who has won the award the most times. and English B) all team coaches vote together, so the gold content of this award can be seen.This is the Coach of the Year Award of the Coaches Association, and it is not the same award as the Premier League Coach of the Year Award. The latter is the best of the year that Ferguson has won the most.

His level has also been recognized by the giants. Every time Manchester United coach Ferguson reports that he will retire due to physical reasons, Moyes must be one of the candidates for Manchester United's next coach.

Moyes was also very ambitious and wanted to build Everton into a strong team. For this reason, he worked hard and tried his best. Under his leadership, Everton once reached the Champions League, that was in 2004-2005 This season is his third season in charge of Everton. Although it is only a qualifying round, it is already remarkable.You must know that just three seasons ago, Everton was almost relegated.He later led Everton to the UEFA Cup for three consecutive seasons.However, due to various reasons, Everton's own background and limited financial resources, he finally failed to bring Everton to a higher level.

Everyone can imagine how painful it is for such a capable and ambitious head coach to face the Merseyside Derby, which is always unable to win or draw, and can only lose.

The fans are in pain, they just need to passively accept the result.

The pain of the head coach is that he knows that no matter how hard he tries, he will lose to the opponent, but he still has to struggle desperately. Of course, it is impossible for him to give up before the game and send a bunch of second teams just because we can't win Liverpool. Players, and then there are no tactics, let them toss around.

He still has to rack his brains to find a way to deal with Liverpool, even if there is only a [-]% chance, he must do his best.

However, these efforts proved to be futile in the end.All the hard work was wasted, that feeling is really heartbreaking.

But next time, with the Merseyside derby, he'll repeat the cycle.

Now, a new cycle has arrived.

How to deal with Liverpool?

This can be called the "Goldbach conjecture in the football world", which has left the world's famous coaches at a loss, but Moyes is very serious and racking his brains to think hard about the answer.

※ ※ ※

If Moyes, after a lot of hard thinking, finally came to his senses, came up with a solution, and used the method he came up with to successfully defeat Liverpool in the game, causing the whole of England to exclaim "big upset", then great It must be an inspirational novel with Moyes as the main character.

Unfortunately not.The protagonist of this book is Chen Yingxiong.

To be inspirational, it must be Chen Yingxiong...

In the Merseyside derby that came as scheduled, Chen Yingxiong scored two goals very "inspiringly", and also had an assist, helping Liverpool beat Everton 4:1 away and won another game Victory in the Merseyside derby.

At 10 minutes into the game, 10 minutes before the end of the game, Liverpool had already led Everton 4:1.

The Everton fans in the stands began to exit collectively.

This is not to express dissatisfaction with the team. In fact, the Everton players have performed very well, but the opponent is too strong.

They did this because they didn't want to stay here and suffer the pain of being humiliated by their rivals in the same city.

I can't afford it, can I still hide it?
Out of sight, out of mind, can't I stop watching?
