Chapter 290 Understanding Applause
"Liverpool were very patient in the early stages, they dominated the ball and Everton barely had any possession during that period."

In the commentary box.

The commentators' expressions were somewhat dull.

This is also somewhat simple with the situation on the field.

After all, Liverpool was in no rush to attack.

But he kept passing the ball.

At this moment the game is still in the exploratory stage.

Logically speaking, the two sides should be very familiar with each other.

There is no need to test.

But who made Everton adopt the new formation and tactics?

Liverpool's performance was praised by Sky Sports commentator Carragher: "Liverpool's current strategy is correct. They don't need to attack aggressively. They have enough time to slowly wear down their opponents."

"If Liverpool want to swallow their opponents in one go at the beginning, they will probably pay the price!"

Carragher is a professional player after all.

He is certainly correct.

At this time, the TV broadcast gave a close-up of Everton's head coach Marco Silva on the sidelines.

Marco Silva sat in the coaching seat, his eyes constantly moving in the direction of the football.

Looks very calm too.

But in fact he was very panicked.

His original idea was.

Liverpool have won eight games in a row.

They will certainly be filled with pride.

Plus this is a derby.

Before the game, Everton kept adding fuel to the fire, trying to increase the popularity of the game.

The purpose is to allow Liverpool players to press forward with full momentum at the start of the game.

This way they would run headlong into the ironclad five-defender formation that Everton was preparing here.

Waiting for Liverpool's attack to be thwarted.

Everton's chance has come.

However, the game is not going according to the script set by Marco Silva.

Liverpool seemed very patient.

Marco Silva was a little panicked.

But he couldn't show his panic.

His players will be influenced by him.

There was still a hint of a smile on his face.

Looks very confident.

He showed his confidence that the current situation was under his control.

Even Klopp was deceived by his confidence.

"What's this guy's trick?"

When Klopp saw Marco Silva's confident smile.

I couldn't help but mutter to myself.

He walked to the sidelines.

Both hands made a downward pressing motion.

Since we don’t know what tricks our opponent has.

Then it’s best to be more patient.

The Liverpool players on the field became more cautious after seeing the head coach's actions.

Sunshine got the ball and passed it back to Henderson.

Then wave and ask again.

The football was passed to Yangguang's feet.

Sunshine crosses the ball to Mane.

He then made a diagonal run into the penalty area.

Yangguang's running caused some chaos in Everton's defense.

Sunshine is Everton's top priority.

As he ran, Everton players had to move with him. They couldn't let Sunshine catch the ball easily, but this was exactly Sunshine's purpose. His running immediately created a gap in Everton's airtight defense.

This gap is for Mane.

Mane pretends to play a one-two with Sunshine.

Just as other Everton players were chasing Sunshine to defend.

He suddenly cut inside and shot with his right foot!

The football hit the crossbar with a bang and went out of the bottom line.

"Ahhh! Mane cuts inside and shoots! What a pity!"

"Ten minutes into the game, Liverpool finally started to try to attack!!!"

"Mane's shot from inside hit the crossbar!!"

"Everton's players paid too much attention to Yang, and his movement almost drew away all the defenses in one go."

"At this point in the game, Everton has been shrinking in the backcourt to defend. Liverpool launched an attack after probing for a while. Even though Everton sent out five defenders in this game, their defense was in chaos at this moment. Liverpool seized the opportunity and Mane's shot almost scored a goal. Everton was lucky."

In the commentary box.

The commentators cheered.

Everyone was already a little drowsy due to the slow pace on the field.

But this time Liverpool's attack shocked everyone.

Afterwards, the TV broadcast continued to replay Liverpool's attack.

Liverpool's attack did not seem weak this time.

It's the cooperation between the two forwards.

Sunshine received the ball, attracted the defense, passed the ball, moved forward to take away the defense, and Mane took the opportunity to cut inside and shoot.

This kind of offensive routine is very common.

But Liverpool can create threats with such ordinary routines.

The individual abilities of their three front men are too strong.

"Sunshine's running attracted too many defenders."

"Everton's defense was obviously very concerned about Sunshine's movement. Too many of them danced with Sunshine's movement at this moment, which gave Mane the opportunity to cut inside easily."

"It's a pity that this time Mane's shot hit the crossbar and Everton escaped."

Football experts began to comment after the event.

To know.

Before that, the sunlight was shining through the crowd.

They also said something like "this is not a wise choice."

But an expert.

A man who talks big.

You have to give some truth anyway.

It’s better to be a little different.

For example, criticizing the decisions made by top players like Sunshine on the field is what these football experts like to do most.

Sunshine is so awesome.

I can criticize him.

Then how awesome do I have to be?

Understand the applause.

Mane, who missed the opportunity, held his head in his hands, looking regretful.

"Good shot, but lack of luck. Come back later."

Yangguang came over and patted his shoulder to comfort him.

Mane shook his head regretfully and replied, "Okay!"

Although the ball did not go in.

But such a very successful offensive round is also an encouragement for Liverpool players.

Marco Silva was not so calm when he saw Liverpool's attack.

He came to the sidelines rubbing his hands, shouting loudly to remind Everton players to keep their positions!

Just a run in the sun.

Forced at least two Everton players to leave their defensive area.

This is a hidden danger in Everton's defense.

但老实说。

Marco Silva can't blame his players either.

because.

That's sunshine.

He ran over.

Do you dare to bet that your teammates will follow you? Or do you bet that he can't handle your teammates one-on-one?

To be fair.

Marco Silva felt that even if he was in that position when he was playing football, when he saw a player of Yangguang's level running towards him, he would subconsciously follow closely.

The biggest fear of zone defense is mistakes during the handover defense.

The more top players.

The more nervous the opponent's defense is, the more likely such mistakes will occur.

In other words.

Such is the influence of a superstar.

Marco Silva frowned.

He increasingly realized the significance of the team continuing to defend like this.

Judging from these ten minutes of game.

Liverpool were in no rush to attack.

They seemed very patient.

This makes the premise of "Liverpool underestimate the enemy" no longer exist. Look at their front trident.

Mane, Sunshine, Salah.

The two wingers were like crazy, they could break through in a one-on-one situation as long as they got the ball.

There is a little space in the middle for the sunlight to shine in.

Convex (fuck dish)
Marco Silva spat.

What a fucking headache.
Faced with such an attacking combination, should we use a dense defensive iron bucket formation?

This may be a mistake.

He turned his head and glanced at Klopp, who was sitting in the coaching seat with a relaxed look.

Horse riding.

What are you proud of?

If only I had a trident offensive combination like this.

I can also win the Premier League and the Champions League
I thought about it for a long time.

Marco Silva finally came up with his plan B.

The head coach was seen making gestures on the sidelines.

Everton players also knew what they were doing.

Although Plan B was used in the second half of the first half, the game has only started for ten minutes. Using it now would be a bit like denying Plan A before the game.

But now the threat posed by any attack from them is so great.

If we don't make changes in time, we will probably lose the ball soon.

Everton's plan B is to attack when they have the ball, disrupt Liverpool's rhythm, and then come back to defend - but not to defend to the death, but to increase mobility, increase aggressiveness, and try not to let the opponent break through the midfield easily.

Everton took possession of the ball.

Goalkeeper Pickford did not pass the ball forward in a hurry, but passed it to the full-back Coleman first.

Coleman held the ball and waited for the midfielder to respond.

Sigurdsson retreated to receive the ball, and when Coleman passed it to him, he passed it directly without stopping, and the ball went to the right. Walcott rushed in at high speed, stopped the ball and passed it directly to the middle.

The ball was headed out of the baseline by Van Dijk.

Corner kick!

Everton's offensive approach is simple.

But it is easy to execute.

There are not many people trying to score in the penalty area.

However, once the three tall central defenders came on, the pressure was still very strong.

Therefore, Everton may not be without means to counterattack Liverpool away from home.

Especially set pieces!

A large number of Everton players entered the penalty area.

They stood in two rows.
Everton's corner kick tactics are carefully designed.

Sigurdsson's corner kick was aimed at the back post.

Center back Zouma headed the ball into the goal, beating full-back Arnold.

The football went over the crossbar.

This attack made Marco Silva on the sidelines applaud continuously.

His main offensive method in this game was to take advantage of set pieces.

Most weak teams will adopt this approach when facing strong teams.

Guard the backfield.

Create a set piece in the frontcourt, hoping to use the set piece attack to equalize the opponent's advantage and score one.

Everton's attack this time was more like harassment.

Liverpool had the ball for most of the game.

The thirteenth minute of the game.

Liverpool launched an attack.

Yangguang received the ball in the frontcourt. He made a fake move to pass the ball and then suddenly cut forward and shot.

The football hit the post and flew out of the bottom line.

There was a regretful gasp from the stands.

Warm applause broke out.

Even if it didn't go in, it shows that Everton's iron bucket formation is not enough to completely limit Suns' performance.

The fact that Yangguang chose to come by himself this time also shows that the trial phase is over!

Liverpool are really starting to attack.

Then Everton players felt the real pressure.

Liverpool's terrifying offensive strength began to show.

Shortly after Yang Guang's shot.

One minute later.

Liverpool's attack returned.

The Suns retreated from the center position.

Brought out center back Michael Keane.

Then the pass from the backcourt immediately landed at Yangguang's feet.

After Yangguang caught the ball, his heel suddenly hit his head.

The football rolled under Michael Keane's crotch.

Michael Keane comes out of the box.

There was a very brief gap in his area inside Everton's penalty area.

When the football rolled under Michael Keane's crotch.

On the other side, winger Salah has already made a diagonal run into the penalty area at high speed.

Shoot the ball directly!

Amid the exclamations of the fans.

Everton goalkeeper Pickford made a great save.

He saved the ball from going out of bounds.

Corner kick!

Everton players had no time to catch their breath.

Liverpool's corner kick has been taken.

Sunshine pulled out from the penalty area to receive the ball.

He paused.

Then let the ball turn without catching it.

Everton's defense was thrown into chaos in an instant.

Sunshine crosses.

Wijnaldum shot directly from the penalty area line!
He aimed at the lower right corner of the ball.

The football hit the post with a bang in front of all the fans.

Bounced back.

"what"

In the stands.

A regretful voice sounded.

The commentators were just about to say that Everton had survived the disaster.

At this moment, a red figure rushed in at high speed.

Everton defender Zouma swung his right foot to clear the ball.

Just then he felt a gust of wind blowing from behind him.

He suddenly wanted to protect the ball, but at this moment, a figure forcefully intervened and directly blocked the ball in front of him.

Zuma grabbed the figure desperately, trying to hold his opponent.

He didn't care even if it was a foul.

But what despaired him was that even if he used all his strength, he couldn't hold the other person back.

Yangguang kicked the ball away first, then took Zouma one step forward and shot with his toes.

At such a close distance, goalkeeper Pickford was unable to react at all!!

The ball went in! !

After Liverpool really started to attack.

Everton's iron defense lasted less than five minutes.

"YANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!"

"Wijnaldum's shot hit the post and Everton had escaped, but when Yang rushed to the rebound point, they were already locked in by the god of death!"

"Sunshine KO'd Zouma and Everton!!"

The commentator's seat was filled with excitement.

The DJ at Anfield was also chanting.

"In the 14th minute of the game, Liverpool scored a goal, the scorer is here."

"YANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!!"

This sound shook the stands.

Amid the cheers of the audience.

Yangguang opened his arms, rushed to the corner flag area, and slid on his knees to celebrate.

The whole Anfield stadium was chanting his name.

Klopp, who had been sitting quietly in the coaching booth, suddenly rushed to the sidelines.

Clenched fist.

Cheer up.

Subsequently.

He hugged his assistants.

not far away.

Marco, covering his face in pain, became the background of their celebration.
